I have a PHP string that I need to match to a database but in order to match, I first need to make the WHERE part of the statement ignore some characters. For example:
$string = "This is the message. On a few different sentences to make it a bit longer";
Needs to match to
> This is the message.
> On a few different sentences to make it a bit longer
So what I need the WHERE to do is ignore '>','\r\n' and empty lines. I understand I can ignore the first 2 with something like
SELECT * FROM table WHERE REPLACE(REPLACE(fieldtomatch, '>', ''), '\r\n', '') LIKE '%$string%'
But what about the empty lines?
Any help much appreciated!

Armageddon Online is read by 100,000+ unique visitors per month. List your website or product! See the details!
The CTBTO relies on Infrasound arrays to help determine the location and size of atmospheric explosions. Man-made explosions, such as bombs, produce a different infrasound pattern than natural fireballs like shattering meteors.
Based on scrutiny of infrasound records, NASA scientists concluded the fireball released about 300 kilotons of energy, said Bill Cooke, lead for the Meteoroid Environments Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
That's about 20 to 25 times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped in World War II, but still smaller than Siberia's Tunguska meteor explosion in 1908, which released 10 to 15 megatons of energy (equivalent to the Castle Bravo device, the most powerful atomic bomb tested by the United States).
"This was a moderate explosion," said Paul Chodas, research scientist in the Near Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Simulation of Stochastic Demand Data Streams for Network Revenue Management Problems.
In: OR spectrum : quantitative approaches in management, Jg. 29 (2007) ; Nr. 1, S. 5 - 20

For evaluating heuristic and optimal network revenue management procedures test-instances are needed. As a consequence when trying to create instances for network revenue management problems it turns out that among other things a stream of stochastic demand data is required. But, developing and implementing a generator for demand data that fits to a given network, a given set of products, and a given set of capacity constraints is far from being easy. Since to the best of our knowledge no such demand data generator is available to the public, we specify an algorithm to generate this data and we also make this algorithm available upon request. This, we hope, facilitates future research work.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Doug GormanThe Lovejoy Wildcats played with a split personality Friday night at Twelve Oaks Stadium in the first round of the Class AAAAA playoffs against Redan. Entering as the No.-1 seed out of Region 4-AAAAA, the Wildcats looked unstoppable in the first half, then mistake-prone in the second half as they shot themselves in the football with two turnovers in the final two quarters. The first 24 minutes of the contest was enough to propel the Wildcats into the second round next week with a 24-14 victory. Lovejoy did all of its scoring in the first half and rolled up 156 yards of total offense in the first two quarters. "We just didn't play very well after the first half," said Lovejoy coach Al Hughes. "We just couldn't get things going, and we made to many mistakes." Lovejoy is the only remaining team left still standing in Henry or Clayton County. The Wildcats advance to play Houston County next week in the second round. The Wildcats played the game without starting quarterback Mario Fannin, who was injured in last week's regular-season finale against Mundy's Mill. Backup quarterback Ryan Williamson stepped it up in place of Fannin, and led the Wildcats on scoring drives on all four first- half series. "We have all the confidence in the world in Ryan," said Hughes. "To step in for an injured quarterback in a first-round playoff game is a pressure situation, but he did a great job." The Wildcats' defense stopped Redan on the first three plays of the game, forcing the Pirates to punt. Lovejoy went to work and executed a 15-play, 62-yard drive for its first score of the game. Octavius Edge ran the ball the final 3-yards of the drive for his first of two scores. Lovejoy converted two fourth-down plays during the series, including a 14-yard scamper by Edge and a 12-yard quarterback keeper by Williamson to keep possession of the football. Edge finished the game with 134 yards on 21 carries. He also played with plenty of inspiration. "We knew we had to win this game for Mario," he said about the team's injured starting quarterback. "He got us here, so we wanted to make sure we stepped up as a team and kept winning." The Wildcats made it 14-0 with 10:26 remaining in the second quarter when Williamson scored on a 2-yard quarterback keeper. The big play of the drive came when Williamson connected with Keith Fitzhugh on a 17-yard pass. Redan's next drive stalled when Bryant Edwards intercepted a Wayne Mantel pass and returned it down to the Pirates' 1. After a penalty pushed the Wildcats back to the 6, Edge added his final TD of the game with touchdown run on the next play for a 21-0 lead. With 2:31 remaining in the first half, Charles Pryor scored on a 1-yard run to Redan. The extra point missed, and Lovejoy led 21-6. Maetias Ferreira, who hit all three extra points in the game, gave the Wildcats a big lift right before the end of the first half with a 41-yard field goal to give the Wildcats a 24-6 lead. Lovejoy and Redan both started the second half with turnovers to kill scoring drives. The Pirates fumbled the ball in the end zone and Lovejoy's Dale Gibson fell on the football to kill a Redan scoring drive. The Pirates cut into the score with a late TD pass on their final drive of the game.

|The Game Story:
|PISCATAWAY, NJ - Fairfield�s Greg Downing and Chris Manley had a hand combined for 10 points as Fairfield defeated Rutgers (1-2, 0-1 ECAC), 11-7, in men�s lacrosse action on Friday night.
The heroics of Downing and Manley (seven goals, three assists) offset a three-goal performance from the Scarlet Knights� Matt Gaines (Abingdon, MD). Rutgers� offense produced 40 shots (21 first half, 19 second half), as Chris Doctor (Skaneateles, NY) had two goals and Austin Rodgers (Baltimore, MD) added a goal and an assist. The Scarlet Knights successfully fought back from a 9-3 third-quarter deficit, rallying to within three goals (10-7) with under four minutes to play in the fourth quarter, but could get no closer.
The Stags (2-1, 1-0 ECAC) raced out to a 5-1 lead at the end of the first quarter thanks to two goals from Chris Manley and one each from Travis Nelson, Downing and Brendan Finnerty. After falling behind 2-0, Doctor scored unassisted at the 9:18 mark of the opening stanza, but Fairfield closed out the quarter with three straight goals over a span of 7:42.
Sophomore Brian Melvin (Livingston, NJ) netted his first goal of the year with 5:13 to play in the second quarter, making the score 5-2. Gaines quickly followed less than a minute later (4:53), brining the deficit to just two goals, 5-3. Fairfield scored to give itself a three-goal lead at the half (6-3) when Mike Bocklett took a pass from Josh Thornton with 3:43 remaining.
A three-goal spurt in the third quarter gave Fairfield its biggest lead (9-3), as Downing scored twice and Manley (three goals, two assists) netted an extra-man tally. Rodgers started RU�s comeback with an unassisted goal at 2:19, follow by Doctor�s score 1:14 later.
Gaines netted back-to-back goals in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Scarlet Knights were dominate in the face-off X, winning three-of-five draws in the final period. Following Gaines� goal to make the score 10-7, Fairfield won the ensuing face-off, but RU forced a turnover and Devon Britts (Scottsville, VA) dodged toward the cage with a scoring opportunity. However, his shot was saved by Fairfield Mike Kruger. The Stags� junior goalie also made another key save on a shot by Colin Checcio (Wayne, PA) moments later.
Sophomore Ted Melanson (Baltimore, MD) won 13-of-21 face-offs and had a 33-29 edge in ground balls, but only 18 of their 40 shots came on goal. Rutgers also failed to convert on nine extra-man opportunities, while Fairfield was a perfect two-for-two. Through three games, Melanson is winning face-offs at a .582 clip (32-of-55).
Friday�s game marked Fairfield first-ever as a member of the ECAC. The Stags previously played in the Great Western Lacrosse League, earning the conference�s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament last year.
The Scarlet Knights return to action on Tuesday, March 14, when they close out their four-game season-opening home stand with a 3:00 p.m. contest against Manhattan.

I AM because LOVE IS: God as Verb
Publication Date: February 8, 2012
The first letter of John, 4, 7-16, touched me deeply with the words, God is Love; When we live in Love, we live in God and God in us. The restrictive, biased, inadequate view of Our Creator as a white-haired old man sitting in judgment of us simply no longer worked for me. Indeed, it seems we have envisioned the Divine in our own image. Perhaps a better idea of God is Source of Love, Embodiment of Love, and Love in Action. God (as Verb) IS Love and I AM only because (God as) LOVE IS. Join me here in exploring this notion.

Being: Our Destiny
Publication Date: March 5, 2014
Human beings . . . how often have we heard those two words without a thought to what they mean? Oh, we could define "human", but what about the word "being" or better yet, "Being." Vaclav Havel, Czech writer, dissident, and finally, peaceful liberator of his country searched for the true meaning of Being in his series of essays written while in prison. Havel described Being as the state of one's heart, the key to life and one's orientation to it.
Unknowing – The Fullness of Being
Publication Date: January 15, 2015
It has been very hard for me to learn not to need to know.
I don't mean just simply being OK with not knowing,
but learning not to need to know.
It requires my admitting, accepting, embracing my limits.
I realize that God cannot be known by the power of intelligence.
In coming to the realization that God 's very Being is Love,
I have only been able to glimpse, taste, pursue the Divine
in my heart which constantly longs for Love, for my Creator.
The terms I have used to speak of God
are never clearly intelligible, watertight and hermetically sealed.
God can never be seized by my rational analysis.
I am invited into Love by my Creator Who is Love
and Love is a mystery, as am I.
Accepting that I don't know, and that I do not need to know,
has allowed me to get out of my mind
and move into my Heart
where being in love unites me with the
4 thoughts on "John's Books"
I've enjoyed a number of John's books. I find them particularly helpful for my daily hour of meditation. I read one or two of John's poems each day and then spend time in contemplation on how they relate to my own personal spiritual path. I find them insightful and great nourishment for my spiritual life.
Looking forward to John's new book Movin' On.
On "Pebbles of Wisdom"
Some are two-liners, others flow to the next page. These "Pebbles" are like walking a beach searching for a perfect stone. Each holds a beauty of its own, as it is in this book.
I have my favorites and one has become my morning prayer. You will find yours too, maybe in John's interpretation of the Beatitudes, or in how God and the sun relate, or
on becoming an artist. Perhaps one will stick with you, like a pebble in your sock — can't get it off your mind.
Something in this collection will be with you forever.
Anne Marie
In John's newest book, there is an extraordinary poem titled, "Things Are Coming to an End; Things Are Being Created Anew". What hit me personally were the traps of nostalgia and despair we face in the challenges of our Catholic faith. Nostalgia especially was undeniably a block for me. John's words, his candor, made me examine my conscience. Why was I holding on to childish remnants no longer relevant?
John's use of Hospice to bring his points across is presented with tenderness. The relationship to the dying and a dying church is luminous and, in its simplicity, is a remarkable force. One can feel the hope and light John offers.
This poem was an emotional jolt for me.
– Elizabeth Anne

Considering the disasters that have taken place in the last ten years, it's understandable that people have become more concerned about their personal well-being when thinking about possible future catastrophes, such as man-made or natural disasters. Many of these people, who think and plan ahead for future emergencies, fall under the category of 'preppers.'
Preppers—not necessarily survivalists who can be dropped off in any remote location and live off of the land—educate their families and prepare their homes in order to help survive major disasters. Preppers take a back to basics approach to living that includes greater personal obligation, and today, who can argue that knowing first aid, being able to grow your own foods, and having a food supply for a couple of months and additional emergency back-up plans are bad ideas? Throughout history there have always been people who have prepared for possible disasters, but today, with the internet, preppers are able to connect with each other and share their plans and thoughts on preparedness. Prep, prepare, prepping … for preppers, it's a common sense approach to living in uncertain times. If you're interested in learning more about the prepping lifestyle, visit http://www.americanpreppersnetwork.com/ .

Hi everyone! So...running early in the morning. A lot of you guys do, right? At the moment I'm a "sometime before noon" runner (yes my existence is cushy) but for three weeks in July, due to child care/scheduling issues, I'm going to have to be an early a.m. runner. Like,6 a.m or earlier.
I am not a morning person, but my only alternative is running at 9 pm, and that's no good - I can't sleep after running so late.
So...any tips? Do you eat breakfast and coffee up before you run? Or just hit the road? How long does it take to adjust to an early wakeup? Possibly a dumb topic - like, just get up and get dressed and out the door- but maybe someone has the magic answer that will make this magically no problem at all...
Harriet, I run early in the morning before my husband has to leave for work, I used to be out the door by five am, but lately I am having to leave earlier since the runs have gotten longer!
it probably took me about a month to get used to getting up so much earlier, and here is the big thing...you MUST go to bed earlier!! If you are used to seven hours of sleep (or whatever number) then go to bed that many hours earlier.
I have gotten it down to a pretty good system, I put all of my clothes in the bathroom so when my alarm goes off I can get dressed without waking up my hubbie, my shoes are by the door. It takes me about ten minutes from waking up to walking out of my neighborhood. I don't however eat or drink anything before a morning run, in fact...I almost never do. Food in my stomach always means a bad run for me. Lately though because of the heat/humidity I am having to take a water bottle with me, which I will prepare the night before.
I have been running early in the mornings for a couple of years now and I love it. The weather is better, it's quiet and calm, and it's a great way to start my day!
I miss morning running (my silly commute precludes it now). I definitely prefer to run early as I find it very easy to roll out of bed and just get out the door. It also sets me up well for the day as I am fully awake and energized after a run. I typically do not eat anything before the run and layout my gear the night before so I can quickly get going.
2015 goals: run a bunch....race some.....repeat...
Skirt Runner
I am not a morning person at all... however, ironically am a morning runner. It is the only thing I will willfully get out of bed early for. I work long hours and get home late, drained of energy and starving so running after work just doesn't happen so morning running it is!
Since I suck at mornings and getting out of bed, I will always sleep til the last possible second before needing to get up....on any day, for any reason. So, as someone else mentioned, to save time in the morning I try to check the hourly forecast the night before for when I will be running and lay out clothes the night before (sometimes with a "contingency item" in case the weather is slightly different than forecasted....such as an extra layer (applied more to winter)), as well as all my accessories in one place (Garmin, ipod, ect). Then I roll out of bed, drink a little water, don't eat anything, get dressed, foam roll, then off I go! Eating right before running and drinking coffee right before running don't do well for my stomach, so I have those after I get back.
PRs: 5K- 28:16 (5/5/13) 10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13) 4M- 41:43 (9/7/13) 15K- 1:34:25 (8/17/13) 10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14) HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14)
I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
On the mornings that I run before work, I have to be finished by 5:20am. Since I'm slow, that equates to some early get-ups. It eventually gets easier. I just drink some water and get out the door. I like sleeping so I don't get up earlier to eat or read the paper. I set my clothes out in the bathroom the night before.
+1 this is me, exactly. Except I need to finish by 6:10-6:15
I'm a morning person. I typically wake up between 3:00 am and 4:00 am. My usual routine is:
I find if I don't have something to eat my stomach will get very uncomfortable, to the point of wanting to vomit, for about 5 to 10 minutes at some stage of my run. Eating mostly avoids this problem for me.
Of course everyone is different. You may need to experiment to find out what works best for you.
Thanks everyone I woke up randomly at 5 a.m. and thought about this thread, debated getting up just to see what it would be like, and then went back to sleep...maybe I'll start cold brewing coffee and leaving it on my nightstand....
do we need to get Suddood over here again??
That's right. I'll rattle my virtual metal garbage can over your head at oh-dark-thirty if I hear any more of that romper room sissy talk!
MTA: Although your running log is starting to show signs of promise. Nice work!
Drink beer. Mostly ales. Sometimes stouts.
For some reason all i can think of is "nobody expects the spanish inquisition!"
Our chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear, fear and surprise! our two chief weapons are surprise, fear, and ruthless midwestern politeness...our three chief weapons are surprise, fear, ruthless midwestern politeness and a fanatical devotion to the recovery indicators...our four weapons...amongst our weaponry are such elements as surprise,fear, and....I'll just come in again...

Resources introducing and supporting the role of Graduate Attributes in personal tutoring.
As a fundamental part of students' success, both now and in the future, Graduate Attributes are central to the Personal Tutor relationship:
Exploring achievements, challenges, goals and plans in relation to Graduate Attributes can help ensure productive and useful discussions at all stages of University life.
Here are some of the key resources to help Personal Tutors in their discussions with tutees about Graduate Attributes:
Introduction to Graduate Attributes - written both for tutors and tutees, an overview of Graduate Attributes: what they are; how they're developed; where they're used; potential discussions in personal tutoring meetings; and where to find out more.
Sample session plans - not prescriptive or exhaustive, but some ideas for group sessions to run with tutees on Graduate Attributes.
Further background information and resources on Graduate Attributes are available in the staff section of the Employability Initiative website:
The last section of 'Introduction to Graduate Attributes ' includes information on resources for students relevant to Graduate Attributes.
The development of students' Graduate Attributes positively impacts on their performance as a student, but is also integral to their employability and future careers. The Careers Service has a web resource specifically for personal tutors to help you to support your tutees in this area.
Staff who would like to find out more about Graduate Attributes should contact Dr Gavin McCabe at the University's Employability Consultancy.

Green Bay, WI -- We're blessed in northeast Wisconsin with good paying jobs and great schools. But 8,000 miles away in Africa, it's a struggle to survive off just $2,000 a year. It's why a group in Green Bay formed "Kenya Help" to give deserving teens the tools they need to succeed.
They're heartfelt messages from Meru, Kenya to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
"To my donors, I am very thankful because you have made quite a change in my life," one student said in a video.
The teens are thanking our community for the opportunity to get an education.
"In Kenya, the government only pays for education through 8th grade and there's a lot of smart, ambitious, hard working kids who would never have the chance to go to high school," explains Kenya Help treasurer, Jill Thiede.
Christine Kaburu was one of those children who was sent home, because her mother couldn't pay tuition.
"It kind of affects you, you know, because you miss schoolwork and then it's also self esteem," recalls Kaburu.
Without a high school diploma, there's little hope.
Kaburu says, "You'd probably be working the farm or be house help, that's the only way. You cannot get a decent job. It's very difficult."
This cycle of poverty became apparent during a social exchange 10 years ago. An interim pastor at a Green Bay church brought parishioners from Titletown to her hometown in Kenya. Shocked by the conditions and determined to make a difference, the group formed Kenya Help, a grassroots organization that has now provided scholarships to nearly 100 students.
Thiede says, "Our first class of five kids to graduate, one of them got her social work degree and just got married. She and her husband are doing fantastic, and you know how much better their lives are and their families lives are because of what we've done."
In addition to donation drives, the Green Bay group also holds leadership retreats every year in Kenya. Students learn communication skills, how to develop goals and set priorities. Thiede says Kenya Help builds global relationships and understanding as well.
"They learn that Americans just aren't the glamorous movie stars that you see on TV, but they're hard working people who care a lot about education and who care about a chance for equality and justice."
Kaburu is now a nursing student at NWTC. While she didn't receive money from Kenya Help, she appreciates the passion to help her people.
"I'm very grateful," she said with a smile.
Thiede adds, "That's what's really exciting is to see a community like Green Bay rally behind a cause where they'll probably never meet most of these kids, but they know that they're hard working and ambitious and they're willing to do what they can to help these kids succeed."
So far, more than 10% of the students receiving aid have gone on to graduate from college.

Ricco Rodriguez vs. James McSweeney set for BAMMA 5
Some of you are under the impression that the Strikeforce Grand-Prix is the greatest heavyweight tournament to ever be assembled, but all of you would be living your lives in a grandiose illusion. The greatest heavyweight tournament to ever have been constructed was Superbrawl 13 on September 7th, 1999. It featured Heath Herring, Josh Barnett, Ricco Rodriguez, Bobby Hoffman, Juha Tuhkasaari, John Marsh, Travis Fulton (who already had 75 fights by the age of 21) and Rocky Batastini. The same person who won the tournament over a decade ago is the same person that a lot of people are predicting will claim the Strikeforce Grand-Prix this year. I'll let you guys take a college-educated guess as to who that is. In that same mix of fighters stood a young Ricco Rodriguez who caught a first round KO loss to Bobby Hoffman. Ricco then went on to win eleven fights in a row to be the first person to claim the UFC heavyweight belt. If you have an hour of your life that you want to dedicate in front of your computer monitor, you can watch the entire VHS recorded card here. That's a pretty round-about way to say that BAMMA has announced that Ricco Rodriguez vs. James McSweeny has been inked for BAMMA 5.
Depending on where you pre-ordered your copy of UFC Undisputed 2010, there's a chance that you unlocked James McSweeny as a playable character with whatever access code was jammed in the packaging of the game. Paul Daley is also slated to headline the event, going against the DEEP champion, Yuya Shirai (and if Daley loses, Scott Coker said that he probably won't get that title shot from the winner of Cyborg vs. Diaz). According to BAMMA's website, three more main events will be announced 'very shortly'. [Source]

Featuring polyester and nylon fibers in a bed of polyurethane, NXT Control provides all the benefits of a great hybrid. Offering the perfect balance between comfort and control, this one is perfect for comfort seekers who want to keep more balls in play. It's also great for power players who want more control but who don't want the impact shock that comes with monofilament polyester. A must try for players seeking an arm friendly control string with a comfortably crisp response.
Comments: Strung my ProStaff 97 with NXT Control 16 at 56 lbs. Lasted two calendar weeks, perhaps 4 or 5
playing sessions, before breaking a main. I bought NXT Control because Luxilon ALU Power in the PS 97 made my arm sore. No
arm problems with NXT Control, but I had just started figuring out how to control the multifilament-style power when it broke. I
play 4.5 leagues, but am certainly not the biggest hitter out there. Maybe a hybrid next.
From: Phil, 3/15
Comments: A very nice string. Some others mentioned a noticeable different between NXT Control and the regular
NXT, and the difference to me is negligible. They're both very comfortable, but the Control version is slightly less powerful and
perhaps provides slightly less feel. In return, it offers better control (which makes sense) and better overall durability. Also, it
offers better spin potential than a lot of other multifiliaments I've used in the past. Great stuff.
From: Brian, 2/15
Comments: I have been playing with this string for several months now (See my previous review below) and like it
quite a bit. At 63 lbs in a POG, it feels really firm. Since I am not a spin player, these strings last me months (playing 2-3 times a
week) without loss of playability, but I am always tinkering. So, I thought, how could I make it play even better and reduce the
fraying altogether. I put the NXT in the mains and put natural gut in the crosses. Expensive yes, but this is my fourth month with
the same strings. I'm actually saving money. I can report a bit more power (good). I can report much less fraying (good). Ball
pocketing is better and spin is about the same. Best of all, the strings did not loosen and the playability is exactly like it was three
days after the installation of the hybrid. It's great having a racquet play the same exact way for months. I'm sold on this hybrid
From: Mark, 12/14
Comments: Finally tried NXT Control in my BLX Blade at 57 lbs. Very nice indeed. Arm-friendly, with more control
than Babolat Xcel and Addiction by far, as well as good old regular NXT (no surprise there). Comfort is better than NGR2 and Bi-
Phase IMO. The TW review is spot-on.
From: Frank, 10/14
Comments: Comfort is not bad, but still I can tell a big diferece between NXT and NXT Control. I had to cut it out,
not enough comfort for me. Still prefer Tecnifibre NRG2 over both NXTs mentioned above.
From: Ed, 7/14
Comments: I am playing with this string in a POG at 63lbs. It definitely tames the power beast that some multi
filaments bring. I am not, nor ever have been a poly user, but I don't see a lot of extra spin potential. It's there, but not like some
other multi's can give you. It's crisp, not muted or particularly soft but it doesn't bother my arm either. For me, it's the best of a lot
of worlds. I can take full flat cuts at the ball and rarely blast long. It seems to be holding up well as far as durability (I don't hit a
lot of topspin on every shot). Its somewhat comfortable but not like BiPhase or gut. It's a bit pricey but I needed a tame
multifilament in a fairly powerful racquet. Personally, I think this is a perfect string for flat hitters who might need to tame a
powerful frame. It might also be a good string for a poly user who is developing tennis elbow. All in all a good string for that in-
between player.
From: Mark, 5/14
Comments: Best string I have ever hit with. I have bad golfers elbow so I always had to play with a multi. Most were
too powerful until I hit with Wilson Control -- good power, but no trampoline shots. Best is the comfort -- it feels like a very soft
string but plays close to a poly. I think it is the best unknown multi on the market.
From: Gsuede, 8/13
Comments: This is my go to multi. It has great control, decent spin potential, longevity and comfort. It's really a
great string. It truly does provide you with a lot of the advantages of both poly and multi strings. I just wish it was a bit cheaper
or sold in reels. I string it at 57lbs in an IG Prestige Pro.
From: Anon, 1/13
Comments: It's my string of choice but it depends on how you play with it. I'd say it suits serve and volley players
the most. All string choices have trade offs, but this one has good enough feel and comfort and enough spin/control and power.
So, it's a fairly all-around string. If you want to be a baseline grinder and rip the ball with lots of spin, then it is OK, but there are
better biting ones out there for that type of game.
From: Michael, 12/12
Comments: Wow, can you say fraying! These are my favorite strings but you've got to be kidding me. Too bad is
all I got to say.
From: Bill, 7/12
Comments: I have been playing with this string for the past month and half and have been enjoying it immensely. I
strung it at 59 lbs on my Dunlop 200 Tour. Overall, I have been able to hit with good power, control, and spin from both wings.
Although I noticed that the crosses were fraying early on, this did not affect playability nor durability, as I have now more than 20
hours of hitting with it (although mostly doubles indoors). Interestingly, even though the string has frayed on the crosses quite a
bit and the mains are now notched, I find it playing better than ever. I also found serving ok in that I could get good placement
and spin, but not a lot of pop. Comfort and feel are also very good. I play at a 4.5 level and generate my own power. I just wish
this string was not quite so pricey.
From: John, 4/12
Comments: I tried this string at 68 lbs on my BLX Wilson racket, and the strings started to fray after only 2 hrs of
playing. I hit flat, and a bit of top spin. Obviously, durability is a problem and I will switch back to Sensation 16.
From: Bob, 1/12
Comments: Hit this string yesterday in a BB London at 55 lbs. I hit with the string yesterday for about 2 hours and
was able to generate good spin off both wings and the serve. Control was very good as I could take full cuts at the ball with good
controlled depth, much like
a poly. Touch was also good and comfort was excellent as are all NXT strings from my experience. One thing that did surprise me
was lack of movement in the string bed, which is unlike most other multis I have played with. As for durability, its too soon to tell,
but I think it should be pretty good if the amount of string movement stays as is. When compared to my current string (Dunlop
Hexyfiber 16), I thought the feel and comfort was a bit better, but with a little less spin and
pop than the Dunlop. It is also more than twice the price of the Dunlop. All in all, it is a good string but I am not sure it justifies
the price difference with the Dunlop.
From: Dan, USA, 1/12
NTRP Rating: 4.0
Comments: I played with it for the first time today in a competitive match which I ended up winning. This string
definitely helped me to do that; I could take big swipes at the ball and was satisfied with the topspin, slice and control of my
shots. The sacrifice for this is a very very very dead feel to the stringbed, but it works. I'd rather it be that way round than a good
feeling string that didn't allow me to play to my ability.
From: Joe. 5/11
Comments: Got this with the BLX Blade for free a while back and it hit good with a manageable spin and plenty of
power. I'm one of those guys who only restrings when the strings break and it didn't for a month while hitting for a solid 2 hours
every day (3 on Sat/Sun). The string is solid, but I had to cut it out because the string unraveled (like instead of staying circular
and start to fray, it flattened out) but still didn't break. So yeah, try it out, its really durable. I just hope that Wilson decides to
make a 17 or 18 gauge version.
From: Jonathan, New Jersey, USA. 4/11
Comments: Great string for multifilament users that are looking for more bite, but don't want the harshness of
poly. Obviously not as much bite or spin potential as poly, but it's also much more comfortable and playable than poly. You will
gain bite/spin, but you won't give up feel/touch. If you are a dedicated nylon/multifilament user, you should try this string. Great
ball-pocketing feel, unlike any multifilament out there.
From: Anon, 3/11
Comments: You would never know there is any polyester in this string. It has the softness of a multi but you can
hit the extreme topspin shots like a poly. Plays better than Tecnifibre DuraMix in my opinion, which is also a good poly/multi
blended string. NXT Control has great touch and volleys feel solid.
From: Mark, USA, 03/11
Comments: If most multi's are too powerful for you, give this a try. Nice soft multi-like feel, but with good control.
Really does play like a hybrid of multi/poly all in one. Great string!
From: Jack, Atlanta, GA, 02/11
Comments: I got a set of this from Wilson 3 or 4 months ago. I finally strung it up a few weeks ago to give it a go. It
is very forgiving just like a multi but it had the spin potential of a poly. If you typically use a multi I think you will really like it
because of the extra spin and control that this sting offers.
From: Eric, USA, 01/11

It's a promise they know each and every one of you who have ever sacrificed something to reach a goal (athletic or otherwise) has made to yourself.

People say it means something is too difficult, too big, too far, too fast, too dirty and raw, too heavy; maybe even too crazy. Instead of trying to decide everything it could be, they define it by the only thing it's not: ordinary. What you decide to do everyday isn't ordinary. The nutrition you use to fuel those adventures shouldn't be either. Gnarly Nutrition's PledgeYou make choices everyday. You can choose not to change. You can choose to stay the same.

Maybe you're qualifying for the biggest race of your life. You may have a championship ring, accolades, and countless corporate endorsements. Gnarly Nutrition say, at the end of the day, the most important endorsement is the one you give yourself.

Written Answers - Household Charge
Wednesday, 8 February 2012
Dáil Éireann Debate
125. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 149 of 26 January 2012, if he will clarify a matter (details supplied). [7216/12]
Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan): As part of the process of preparing the National Housing Development Survey 2011, launched by my Department in October 2011, local authorities provided details of all unfinished housing developments in their areas. Unfinished housing developments were divided into four categories as follows:
Other relevant factors for the purposes of the categorisation process include, inter alia:
In some cases a local authority may have found that conditions in respect of a certain phase of a development were relatively good and that, for example, no serious public safety issues could be identified. This phase of the development may have been categorised under category 1 or 2. Conversely, safety issues may have been identified in another phase of the same overall development, or development in that second phase may have been abandoned altogether, implying a category 3 or 4 identification for that phase.
This categorisation formed the basis for the list of those unfinished developments eligible for a waiver on the annual household charge.
Only households in developments in categories three and four are eligible for the waiver from payment of the household charge. This list of developments in which households are eligible for the waiver in 2012 is set out under the Local Government (Household Charge) [748]Regulations 2012 and forms the complete and final list of such developments for this year. The Local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011 does not provide for an appeals facility in this regard. A revised list of estates will be prescribed for 2013 after which time the waiver for unfinished housing developments will end. Throughout this period it is anticipated that the numbers of categories 3 and 4 developments will decrease as my Department continues to work with local authorities and other stakeholders to resolve outstanding issues, including through the Public Safety Initiative.

DERBY LINE, VT - Authorities continue to investigate the bombings that occurred Monday during the Boston Marathon and are actively seeking suspects.
In Vermont, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials are stopping all north-bound vehicles for inspection while helicopters buzzed Derby Line Village close enough to kick up dirt along the driveways. When asked if this activity is in response to the bombing in Boston, an agent on the scene replied, "Yes."
NEWPORT CITY - Monday, the Newport City Council decided to provide $2,000 in financial assistance to the Indoor Recreation of Orleans County (IROC) event known as the Kingdom Swim, even though Community National Bank foreclosed on the organization's building in Derby. The council also granted IROC's request to use city facilities this summer at no charge.
Phil White, executive director of the organization, jokingly called IROC "Outdoor Recreation of Orleans County."
DERBY, VT – The Derby Line Trustees along with Water Commissioner Gilles Blais joined the Derby Town Select Board at the table Monday night to present an update of the water line infrastructure project and ask if the town is willing to assist.
Trustee Keith Beadle said the Agency of Natural Resources had told him that the water line is in violation of its permit and the state agency has given the village until the end of 2014 to take action. The current situation could impact insurance protection rates, some pointed out, as water pressure is critically low for fighting fires.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — Two children's librarians have come to the Lee and Dougherty systems recently. One of them gave up an active law career and both of them are "Erins."
Erin Hunt earned her masters in library science at Florida State University, she said, though she returned to Ohio after graduation where she worked for 13 years in the Dayton and Cincinnati library systems. Hunt has been working at the central location of the Dougherty County Library since December.
"My fiance managed to get on with MillerCoors in August," Hunt said, "I wanted to be down here too and it was the right time for a children's librarian."
Although she has no children of her own, Hunt loves working with them, she says.
"It's not for everybody," Hunt says of her chosen specialty, "You have to be passionate about what you're doing, as well as energetic and always trying to be creative. I'm a little people person."
According to Hunt, the right kinds of stimulation in children's early years, including the appropriated books and activities can go a long way in helping them succeed in later life.
"That's what the library is all about," Hunt said.
Although courses are available to those interested in working with children, there are no required courses for a librarian to do so. According to Hunt, library science students select their specialties from several library types including academic, law, specialty or public, which is Hunt's specialty. Hunt does keep abreast of children's library programs, though, she said.
"I'm glad to be back to the south again and to the Albany area. "I feel very needed and welcomed here by the families."
Erin Honeycutt — who came to the Lee Country Library from Valdosta, where she worked as an attorney for Legal Services — had perhaps an unusual beginning for a children's librarian.
"It seemed like dog years, working there," Honeycutt said. "or 'really heavy' might another way to say it."
Honeycutt said she enjoyed the intellectual part, like law school previous to her job and the research involved with Legal Services itself, but the actual practice came to be overly stressful to her.
"It just stopped feeling right to me," Honeycutt said.
According to Honeycutt, around the time of her greatest stress, she discovered that reading to her two-year-old girl, Rowan, reduced her own stress and the benefits to Rowan were apparent to her.
"My dad always read to me when I was a little girl, "Honeycutt said, "I started researching the best books to read and how important it all was. I discovered that the most important thing for children was being together with the parent. Its such a natural thing."
According to Honeycutt, her nightly reading with her child caused her to question her own vocation. Eventually she moved toward earning her degree in library science.
"I was sort of telling myself the story I'd be a law librarian," Honeycutt said. "You need a JD (law degree) to do that and I already had one. My parents were strongly invested in my law degree and that sort of soothed their feelings a little. Staying in law, even with the library thing seem the responsible thing to do, but I couldn't deny my feelings."
Honeycutt enrolled in a distance learning program of library science at the University of Alabama and earned her masters there. Recently she has come to work at the Lee County Library in Leesburg, and "much happier now, she said.

Explaining the many types of rheumatic disease
Q What can you tell me about rheumatic disease and arthritis? My doctor said I had arthritic changes. — N.J., Clemson
A A number of different diseases are considered to be rheumatic diseases. Arthritis is one of the many rheumatic diseases. According to the National Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease Information Clearinghouse (NAMSIC), arthritis literally means joint inflammation. In arthritis, there is swelling, redness, heat and pain caused by tissue injury or disease in a joint. Many different kinds of arthritis comprise a portion of the rheumatic diseases. Examples of arthritic diseases include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, infectious arthritis, reactive arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis.
Some rheumatic diseases are described as connective tissue diseases because they affect the body's connective tissue. The connective tissue is the supportive framework of the body and its internal organs. Autoimmune diseases are also rheumatic diseases. In autoimmune diseases the immune system harms the body's own healthy tissues. Examples of rheumatic diseases include fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematosus, and scleroderma.
You may want your doctor to provide you with a clearer definition of the type of arthritis he or she has diagnosed. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. It is the most common type of arthritis, and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases estimate that 20.7 million adults in the United States are affected. Osteoarthritis primarily affect cartilage. Cartilage is the tissue that cushions the ends of bones within the joint. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage begins to wear and break down. Bony spurs (pointy bulges of bone) may form at the edges of the joint.
Osteoarthritis causes joint pain, reduced joint motion, loss of function, and disability. The disability results most often when disease affects the spine and weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the synovium, or the lining of the joint. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, deformity and loss of function in the joint. The inflammation most often affects the joints of the hands and feet. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to occur equally on both sides of the body. This symmetry helps to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from other types of arthritis.
Ankylosing spondylitis is the type of arthritis that affects the spine. The tendons and ligaments around the bones and joints in the spine become inflamed, causing stiffness and pain in the lower back.
Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs when needle-like crystals of uric acid are deposited in the connective tissue, joint spaces, or both. Uric acid is a normal by-product of the breakdown of purines. Purines are present in body tissues and in many foods. Normally, uric acid passes through the kidney into urine and is eliminated. If the concentration of uric acid in the blood rises above normal levels, sodium urate crystals may form in the tendons, ligaments and cartilage of the joints. Inflammation, swelling and pain develop in the affected joint. The big toe is the most common site for gout.
Infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses can cause a form of arthritis. Infectious arthritis can be associated with parvovirus, gonococcus, and Lyme disease. Antibiotics relieve the symptoms and cure the disease.
Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursae, or small fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between bones and other moving structures in the joint. Injury or infection of the bursae can cause the inflammation, pain and tenderness that limit the movement of the joints.
Tendonitis is inflammation of tendons, or the tough cords of tissue that connect muscle to bone. Overuse, injury or other rheumatic conditions can cause tendinitis. Symptoms include pain, tenderness and restricted movement.

Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West have just been cast as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in a new film that will document their troubled and ever-fascinating romance and business relationship.
BBC4 will produce and air the new film, the Daily Mail reports.
Speaking with the tab, Carter, who, in recent years, has made quite a reputation for herself for playing quirky roles (mostly in her husband Tim Burton's films), knows that people will have to suspend disbelief completely to buy her as the great Liz.
Still, she says, appearances are not everything.
"I look nothing like her for a start but it's about capturing the essence of them at a particular time. She was and continues to be a fascinating woman and she was a huge star. There's no one comparable around now," she says.
I love her and honestly think she'll do a fabulous job. Dominic too: an immensely talented actor who just doesn't get the exposure he deserves.

SEST-521 Theory and Practice of Intelligence
No faculty information available
Intelligence organizations have two qualities that Americans instinctively fear and distrust: secrecy and power. While the intelligence community can attempt to alleviate this fear and mistrust, the secret nature of intelligence work can never wholly put them to rest. Moreover, Americans, particularly since 9/11, hold two opposing views of the intelligence community: that it is both omniscient and incompetent. This course is intended to explore, test, and challenge both of these notions. Intelligence is generally viewed as an applied subject, studied by practitioners. This course bridges the gap between theory and practice, encouraging students to understand the role of intelligence among American institutions as well as how it both challenges and contributes to broader theoretical concepts of transparency and governance. Further, it engages with comparative issues in terms of the study of intelligence, focusing on intelligence themes that transcend individual national political contexts.
This course examines the role of national intelligence in national security, policy formation, diplomacy, homeland security, and other national priorities. We will explore clandestine operations and technical collection disciplines, intelligence technology, analysis, covert action, and policy support. We will also investigate the post-9/11 emergence of domestic intelligence and homeland security. Beyond the technical details of the practice of intelligence, this course will place intelligence within the political context, focusing on how intelligence operates in a democracy and how it is held accountable to the public.
The course will be conducted as a seminar and students will be expected to participate fully in class discussion. Requirements include reading presentations, a policy memo, an in-class simulation, a case study, and a final take home exam.

SEST-521-01 Theory and Practice of Intelligence
No faculty information available
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an appreciation for the impact of intelligence on national security decision-making. The course will explore the theory of intelligence and its practice in the 20th century, emphasizing the American experience and the challenges of managing intelligence processes within democratic systems of government. Intelligence collection, analysis, and evaluation will be discussed with particular attention to the ways in which successes and failures have affected foreign policy and military outcomes. Covert action, paramilitary activities, counterintelligence and liaison management will be distinguished from the traditional elements of the intelligence cycle. Students will develop the skill of writing short, concise briefing memos that are well researched, involve careful analysis and are persuasive.

SEST-521-02 Theory and Practice of Intelligence
Fall for 2015-2016
The Theory and Practice of Intelligence
Taught by an intelligence practitioner, this course focuses on clandestine
operations and technical collection disciplines, intelligence technology,
analysis, covert action, and policy support. We will examine the role of
national intelligence in national security, policy formation, diplomacy,
homeland security, and other national priorities. Using the United States
as a model but exploring other national systems, we will review the Cold War
emergence of a modern national intelligence community. We will study the
partnerships between that community of intelligence agencies, military
services, academic, scientific, and industrial institutions in developing
practices and powerful technological systems to address the collection and
analytic challenges of the Cold War and post-Cold War worlds.
Intelligence collection disciplines, analysis, and policy support, to
include covert action, will be discussed in detail, drawing on concrete
examples of intelligence practice. The challenges of conducting secret
activities within a democratic society, and issues of defining and
recognizing success and failure will be considered. Finally, the course
will analyze the implications of the Revolution in Military Affairs and the
war in Iraq for the intelligence community, look at the "marriage" between
intelligence and the military in the Afghan and Iraqi military campaigns,
and study the intelligence community's effort to implement new practices and
technologies and transform itself into an integrated team of agile agencies
under a new Director of National Intelligence.
The course will be conducted as a seminar and you will be expected to
participate fully in class discussion and possible individual presentations.
Given the topical nature of the course, your class notes will be an
important source of essential course information. You will also demonstrate
your research, analytic, and writing skills in two brief papers and a
take-home final.

You are going to have a great time, your gear list is excellent.The only tips to save weight are the multi purpose compromise items like poncho tarp instead of raingear/shelter & sleeping bag/insulating clothing combo item...both of which require investment $$.One inexpensive combo item worth a look is the combo headlight and baseball cap available at "Lowe's"(home improvement store), it is called "Panther". Dual LED lights built into the rim of a baseball hat, with the battery pack - same size as a photon light - at the back of the hat. You may not save any weight, but with your already excellent gear list, your best changes will be towards simplification and item count reduction.Why did you decide on the HUT 1 instead of the Gossamer Gear Spinnshelter? I use a Spinntwin tarp, but understand the full coverage issue.
Great list! Is the Deet necessary this time of year? That will save you a whopping 0.5 oz :). Now for the more questionable ideas. You could save a little by cooking with Esbit. A Heineken bear can pot weighs 1 oz but may not be as efficient as your pot. Yours is wider.
The reason I went with the Hut 1 is that when I go with my wife (she is small) so we can both use it and for the added rain protection. It really is complete coverage.Do you all think I should use my montails or Gor-tex merrels? Possible rain/snow on fri and sun. I would perfers to wear my montrails but I dont want my feet to freeze either.
Jon, I have used Montrails with the Goretex XCR liner and they are pretty waterproof, but they are warm. I found my feet would get warm and moist due to their lack of breathability. I was hiking up Mt. Massive a couple weeks agon in my Montrail Vitesse trail runners and I was careless and slipped while crossing a partially frozen creek/waterfall. My right foot got soaked. Since it was about 30 degrees out, I stopped, wrung out my socks, dried my foot, and spent a minute or 2 trying to dry my shoe. Then, I put shoe and socks back on and hit the trail. The material and breathability of the shoes were great and never caused me any problems. My feet stayed warm and no hot spots. I would not hesitate to wear trail runners if the snow was going to be dry. If it is forecast to be wet snow, I might think about the Merrells with XCR. Good luck
Jon - Excellent looking list. It's good to know there's others up here in the North Country who're practicing lightweight techniques. I can't imagine that the amount of snow we'd get up here in the Midwest (if any) at this time of year would make it necessary to have waterproof/breathable shoes. If we get any snow it'll be gone before 9 am in all probability. Fortunately you're only doing 40 miles and it's on the Ice Age so you'll have lots of possibilities to "escape" if need be. And to comment on a previous post: No, deet is certainly not necessary at this time of year.
Since that list is in the gram weenie weight range .... A size medium Gossamer Poylcryo ground sheet would save 3oz over the large.I've been OK with a small ... medium would be luxurious and I'm not a small person. (MN's Superior Hiking Trail, a week later than your trip)
