Syrian army foils chemical attack on Damascus by al-Nusra
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—Syria's army foiled a plot by al-Nusra Front in
cooperation with the Turkish Intelligence, to launch a chemical attack using Sarin gas
against Damascus during Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's oath ceremony,
according to Al Manar.
The Syrian army launched rocket attacks against one of the farms in the Damascus
southern countryside where a concluding meeting was held by 11 Nusra leaders
before attempting to launch chemical (Sarin gas) attacks upon the capital.
Security sources reported that the Syrian army carried out a swift attack against the
11 militant leaders and employed warplanes to destroy the whole building where the
meeting was held.
According to Al Manar, assisted by Turkish intelligence, Nusra Front was able to
obtain 16 Sarin gas pipes from Bulgaria and conducted exercises on the use of
homemade rockets.
Syrian security sources noted that frustrating the chemical attack is part of an
operation of foiling a number of terrorist attacks against Damascus during the
presidential elections, asserting that the Syrian security services have started to
employ sophisticated equipment, that has enabled them to frustrate many plots

Assad ambushes over 50 terrorists as they attempt to flee Damascus
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—President Bashar Assad's military ambushed more than 50 terrorists linked to al-Nusra Front and the so-called Al-Islam Brigade in the vicinity of al-Otaiba lake in the Damascus countryside and seized their weapons including Israeli-made anti-tank rockets, RPG launchers and BKC machine guns, according to SANA.
SANA mentioned that the Syrian army, in cooperation with the residents in the eastern Gouta, ambushed terrorists affiliated with al-Nusra Front and 'Al-Islam Brigade' who were fleeing from al-Nashabiyeh area towards Mid'a. Some 41 terrorists were killed and around 10 others were wounded in the ambush, some of whom were Saudi, Qatari and Iraqi nationalities, according to a field commander.
He pointed out that automatic rifles, home-made grenades, Israeli-made anti-tank rockets, BKC machine guns and RPG launchers were destroyed in the operation. The commander noted that over the past period, seven ambushes were carried out in the region resulting in the deaths of several terrorists who were trying to infiltrate the eastern Gouta region to back up the armed terrorist groups who had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Assad's soldiers.
Meanwhile, an army unit ambushed an armed terrorist group on Tal Treireh-Kanaker road, killing and injuring many members, in addition to seizing a truck containing weapons and ammunition, including anti-tank mines, automatic rifles, BKC machine guns and RPGs launchers.
The Syrian army also intensified operations against terrorists in various regions on Friday, killing and injuring scores of them in raids within their dens and gatherings.
Assad has killed or captured more terrorists than any other entity in the history of both ancient and modern warfare.

strategic district of Aleppo city in Northwestern Syria, informed sources said on

Assad's military liberates Syria's Christian town of Maaloula
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—Jihadists who overran Syria's ancient town of Ma'loula as they disparaged Christians calling them "Crusaders" while forcing at least one to convert to Islam at gunpoint, have been forced to flee the city, after an extensive military campaign launched by Assad's military.
Many of Ma'loula people left after a first militant assault knocked out an army checkpoint at the entrance to the strategic town on September 4. Some went to a nearby village and others to Damascus, about 55 kilometers (34 miles) to the south. One of them, Marie, was still frightened as she spoke of that day.
"They arrived in our town at dawn… and shouted, 'We are from the Al-Nusra Front and have come to make lives miserable for the Crusaders,'" an Islamist term for Christians, Marie said in Damascus, where she and hundreds of others attended the burial Tuesday of three Christian fighters who belong to the public committees.
Ma'loula is one of the most renowned Christian towns in Syria, and many of its inhabitants speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
The Syrian army on Wednesday September 11, regained control over Ma'loula after five days of fierce clashes with the militants in the town.
After the military entered the town, the militants moved back to the northern part of Ma'loula before they completely withdrew to the neighboring towns.
The army, aided by the local fighters who belong to the public committees, started its campaign by ambushing a large number of al-Nusra Front militants who lost their supplies from al-Nabk and other towns in the vicinity.
The Syrian army also restored security and stability to the village of Maksar al-Hisan in Homs countryside, killing a large number of terrorists and destroying their weapons and tools, a military source told the Syrian news agency, SANA.

Assad will stay in power for many more years says French report
Newscast Media PARIS—Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will remain in power for many years, and the opposing Coalition delegation comes out empty-handed from a meeting with Hollande.
Assad can stay in power for many years because Russia, Iran and Hezbollah professional fighters are backing him, according to a French report that was handed to French president Francois Hollande at his request to evaluate and identify the French policy in the region for the coming stage.
The French report asserted that the fragmentation of the Syrian Opposition factions and militant groups strengthened the Syrian president and drove the western countries to halt arming the opposition militants.
The report further stressed the sterility of the Western plan to arm the opposition militants without granting the extremists any access to the sent ammunition as al-Nusra Front fighters sequestrated a large quantity of the Arab and Western ammunition sent to the Free Syrian Army after clashes between the two parties. In a related context, the Syrian Coalition delegation that met the French president Fracois Hollande announced that France had abandoned all its pledges and promises to arm the militant groups. An opposing Syrian figure emphasized the complete failure of the Syrian Coalition to execute its main missions.
"The Coalition failed to carry out its main tasks which are obtaining weapons and eliminating al-Qaeda," he said.
The opposing figure revealed that the Coalition is facing financial problems since the countries that support the Syrian opposition started to fund specific opposing figures, instead of funding the decomposed Coalition whose members are competing for the financial gains.
A number of opposition Figures reported that al-Nusra Front fighters receive large financial support, while some militant groups are unable to pay the salaries of their gunmen.

Broken Bleeder for Clutch Master Cylinder
After replacing the Clutch Master Cylinder on my 91 YJ I broke the bleeder that comes out of the transmisson. I was so careful in my attempts and think at this point I own stock in PB Blast. There is an inch of tubing that sticks out of the transmission and then the valve itself. Is it as simple as cutting that piece off and replacing it?
Yes, If you have enough sticking out of the trans, just use a compression fitting and extend the line a few more inches, then use some type of adapter to put a new bleeder on the new line.
Well its good to know its possible. Im assuming the line is the same size as a break line. I found Brake Bleeder valves at Quadritech but now just need to figure out an adaptor. thanks for the advice
on my 92 the block the bleeder nipple screws into is threaded onto the line coming out of the tranny. in other words if the bleeder nipple breaks off you could take off the block it screws into and replace it along with the bleeder nipple. is yours not like that?
Mine looks like thishttp://voodoobrother.com/voodoo/wp-c...8/85357212.gif
same as mine, so is the bleeder screw broke of at that round block? if so you can see the round block unscrews off the line. can't you just replace the round block and a new bleeder screw? or is the threaded part of the bleed line mucked up?
That sounds like the best bet. I've been looking all over the place trying to find that block but no luck. Im not sure if I can get that old one off. Its really rusty.
soak it with liquid wrench first. use a open end wrench as opposed to crescent wrench. once you get it off you might be able to get the bleeder nipple out with a easy-out.
1 Attachment(s)
Do this,. (see picture) Remove the small drum. Drill out the bleeder and the use a bigger bleeder. Get the bigger bleeder from a parts house. You'll need to tap for the bigger threads for the new bleeder. Let us know how you make out. Should be an easy fix.
I tried finding that part a few years ago and found out it only is available with a new slave. In my case, the line holding the bleeder sprung a leak from hitting some road debris. I just used a couple compression fittings with a threaded cap and haven't had any issues. I used a piece of steel brake line to get me enough length in order to be able to bleed the system.

That's what I had suggested a few posts up, but haven't heard how he made out!?
sorry guys I've been slammed at work and haven't replied. I'm going to try this today. I'll post back my results

Ive tried everything to get that fitting off and it just wont budge. I took a baby food jar filled with PB Blast and had the piece soaking in it overnight. I put a washer and string thhrough the cap to hold the jar in place and evern that didnt work. Im going to cut that fitting off and go with the compression fitting idea from above. When picking up fittings is there a certain type I need as far as pressure rating?
IT'S Fixed. I got a few compression fittings from the auto parts store and a threaded cap from home depot. The Flaring tool I got from Advanced Auto was a piece if garbage. when I finally got my hands on an old one my buddy had the task was simple. Thank you all for all of your advice and patience.

I think Netcraft also gives figures for active domains, a little further down the page. Taking this figure, they reckon that Apache stands at 47% and IIS stands at 37%

I'm in the market for a new laptop. I've always heard lots of good things from my designer friends and other fake turtle-neck wearing mac users about the Vista experience on their MacBooks. Many said its fantastic.
But I'd like to get some more data on this so I'd like to see what your experience has been with that setup and hear the good as well as the bad about how well it has worked for you.
Wait for PaoloM to get in; he runs Vista pretty much full time on his MBP.
Friend of mine does too. Very nice machine; he did start off with MacOSX, but now runs Vista because it runs all its stuff. He says games performance isn't brilliant, but survivable (Apple's graphics cards tend to run a generation or so behind the ones avaliable for Windows).
I'm told the reason that it is so good, is that MS and Apple have worked very hard on the drivers and stuff to make sure that it is a really comfortable user experience. And the lack of crapware (Symantec) and other crud that comes installed on Dell machines, is non existent when you install your own Vista on a Mac; should keep the installation a lot sleeker.
MS has also relaxed the licensing rules for installing Vista under virtualisation, so it should be much cheaper to get it up and running on your Mac (this was an excellent move on MS's part by the way).
Anyway, the friend of mine says he's looking at the Dell M1530, but the next-gen MBP is definitely in the running, even though he doesn't run MacOSX.

Well frikken done MS Marketing.
Here's the irony.
Years ago, a geek friend and me used to argue about what had caused Microsoft's rise to the top of the industry.
He reckoned that it was illegal practices. I disagreed; the illegal stuff really came later on and helped to keep them their position; what got them there in the first place, was some clever deals and the incredible ineptitude of the competition:
IBM did not have a clue how to sell OS/2 to the masses
Apple blew billions (with IBM's help) trying to build a replacement for the old MacOS, but not before Steve Jobs had squandered his chance of global domination by producing over-priced, poorly specced, proprietary machines.
The problem was complacency and incompetence, and a few years down the line, the same friend of mine understands EXACTLY what I was trying to say back then, because he's now seeing the same problems with Microsoft.
Even when Joe Wilcox put up his original article complaining that MS had dropped the ball by not getting download files onto Fox DVDs, no-one in MS marketing picked it up.
In case there is someone alive in Microsoft marketing, this is what the Fox DVD media manager looks like:

Hi Cyclone Fanatic,
The Tribune is starting a regular feature called "Ask A Cyclone," but we need questions to, well, ask the Cyclones. The idea is that it is our job to get the information fans want to know, and this way you can directly send us questions and we'll dig up the answers.
We're looking for anything, be it whether Jack Trice renovations are on schedule or where Cael buys his shoes, and for anyone in the athletic department. Because it's the off season, there aren't a lot of hot topics floating around right now. But what have you always wanted to ask? Email email@example.com and we'll try to find out.
This is gonna be cool.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Awesome... good work.
All things flow according to the whims of the great magnet.
"You know, that might be the answer - to act boastfully about something we ought to be ashamed of. That's a trick that never seems to fail."

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I've come across a 'new' problem I hadn't experienced before [I've been riding performance road bikes for at least a dozen years, so I've seen my fair share of tire problems].
In the last two weeks, I've experienced the clincher function of several tires [or rims] 'fail' after inflating the tire, of course, causing a 'blow out' of the tube. The tire just pops out of the rim.
This has happened 3 times now, with 3 different tires and different rims. The tires were all 23 mm. Two of the tires were gatorskins, the other rubino pro. The clincher rims have operated fine for several years with no problems.
One time, and I assumed I did not seat the tire properly in the rim [it happens I suppose]. Twice, I assume just bad luck. But 3 times on 3 different tires...and now I'm concerned I'm doing something wrong? But why now, after all these years, and countless tire changes?
The one thing common to the tires were that they were relatively new; the gatorskins totally new, while the rubino pro maybe a few hundred miles on it. They are all rated for 120 psi, which is what I inflate to. At least twice the failures were delayed; that is, several minutes AFTER I inflated...say after 10 minutes or more had gone by.
I think that's what's scary to me; that everything 'looks' fine but can fail 'later on'.
It must be I was not seating the tires properly, but now I'm sort of concerned and gunshy, that I could have a 'blow out' if the clincher function fails at +30mph careening on a downhill or something. Needless to say, I'm double and triple checking the seating now [which I did anyway]. Common flats are just a nusiance...but 'blow outs' I think could be dangerous.
Any ideas or advice on this? Could I treat inside of rims somehow to ensure 'sticking' power of tire clinch? It's really a puzzle why this is happening all of a sudden. The 'kapow' of these things blowing out is like a gun going off, .

About that Aipom, I've made it to know some special attacks for fun: Toxic, Extremespeed, Double Team + one I don't remember (if I even remembered these three correctly).
The TM learning data has stayed the same which practically means that you won't be able to teach your Aipom those moves in it couldn't learn them in original Silver.
Did I say Night Shade Guarados?
I think it was actually a Tentacruel!XD

Solidifying Banking Structure In Andhra Pradesh With Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank
Throughout India, there was an up-liftment in the banking structure with the passing of the 1976 Act of Regional Rural Banks. Most of the villages in different states of India were brought under the jurisdictions of regional rural banks or Gramin banks. By such a means, poorer sections of the villages and the semi urban areas could afford to have bank accounts, deposits and other transactions, apart from availing loan facilities for farming and other small scale enterprises. It was a means to give financial and banking independence to the village people. these RRBs flourished under the lookout of central and state governments and one of the scheduled banks, which sponsored the RRBs.
- Formation of CGGB a landmark in Andhra Pradesh
In the state of Andhra Pradesh, one of such banks was the Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank, which was established in the year 2006, when the finance department of India ordered the merger of two RRBs of Andhra Pradesh. These were the Chaitanya Grameena Bank and Godavari Grameena Bank, both of which were sponsored by Andhra Bank. The merger resulted in the formation of CGGB, with its headquarters in Guntur and this was also sponsored by Andhra Bank. Three districts of Andhra Pradesh, namely Guntur, East Godavari and West Godavari, were included under the jurisdiction of CGGB, with a coverage of 1348 villages. People in these villages came to avail advantages of loans for various farming and non-farming activities.
- Variety of jobs on offer – By having a wide reach into thousands of villages in Andhra Pradesh, the Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank also had a large number of branches. To have sufficient manpower working in these branches, there are officers and office assistants multipurpose, who could cater to the banking needs of the poorer sections of the villages.
Officers recruited into the CGGB were of three classes such as junior, senior and middle management scale, responsible for managerial works in the banks. Office assistants were having multipurpose roles in the banks. Through promotion facilities, employees were able to move up in positions in the different ranks in the bank.
- IBPS mode of selection gives ample opportunities – It was possible to get into the Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank through recruitment process, under the charge of the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection or IBPS. This is an autonomous body in India, which is responsible for carrying out recruitment drives for officers and clerks in different nationalised banks of the country. Interested candidates need to appear in the Common Written Exam or CWE conducted by IBPS for RRB recruitment.
It would give them an opportunity to secure Total Weighted Score or TWS more than the cut off, fixed by the CGGB, whenever there is an advertisement for the officer and office assistant posts. Lots of candidates are able to get into jobs through these recruitment processes and start of a prospective banking career.
By establishment of Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank, lot of villages were benefited as people from the poorer sections of these villages could find ways to finance their farming as well as other small scale enterprises. Youths from the region could also get into jobs in different positions in branches of this bank. It was a great benefit for all sections of the villages and had an impact on the banking scenario of the country.

November 16, 2012
By Sunil Sharma
Highest try-scorer in Gold Coast and speed sensation, Alipate Ratini was a notable exclusion this morning when Fiji 7s coach Alifereti Dere named his final team to the second leg of the 2012/2013 HSBC/IRB World Sevens Series.
The Naitasiri winger copped an injury during training and failed to recover in time which prompted the coaching panel to drop him from the final 12.
Dere confirmed this to FijiLive and said they do not want to take any risk and still have a lot of expectations from Ratini.
"I know a lot of fans will not be happy with this decision and will be asking a lot of questions but we after consulting the team medics have decided to give him more rest and time to recover fully," said Dere.
"It is a hamstring injury and we want Ratini to fully recover. He has a long way to go and we would love to have him back in the team for the third leg of the series."
Levani Botia, Joji Ragamate and Ilai Tinai are the survivors from the Gold Coast 7s team while Captain Setefano Cakau and former rep Isikeli Vuruna make a comeback to the team.
The Digicel Fiji 7s team flies out to the United Arab Emirates next Wednesday and the Dubai 7s will take place from November 30- December 1.
The full squad is as follows:

Shed some light on your usual tan lines this season with the Safari Crossfit Workout Bikini.
good but not great
I purchased this suit for my dtr's beach volleyball competition. She is 5"5"' and 135 but a full B cup. I bought this suit in a Lg and it fit her well. The bottoms stay in place but the top has little support for jumping and etc. I ended up buying her a sports bra top to help with support. I feel like the suit is cute and was a good buy, it just wasn't right for high impact.

Love color and fit!
Great performance suit. Not the suit if you are large breasted though...The design and color is awesome and adds spunkiness to your swim :-). Fit is true to size
San Francisco CA
I just bought the 2 piece Safari and it doesn't fit at all. The top is a bit too tight and the bottom is too big. I can probably be alright with the top but there's no way I can swim with the bottom. It's supposed to be workout set and I don't wanna lose it in the pool. I already have another TYR swimsuit(1 piece) and I'm very pleased with it that's why I decided to stick with the brand. I called and seems that it's not possible to change only the bottom. If you don't wanna change the pattern maybe you should think about selling it separately.

Fit: Feels too big
Love TYR once more
Had a Tyr swimsuit years ago and didn't like the fit or the material--dragged in the water. But decided to give it a try again and this time, I am loving my suit...way better than a leading brand. The fit is snug not tight, the material is of good quality, and it feels better in the water. Whatever TYR did, it's a good one and I hope they keep it up!

TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market.

I've received emails from people asking why this column has stopped offering "memos" to industry leaders dispensing unsolicited advice. The reason is that so much advice is needed, I haven't known where to start.Casting aside these inhibitions, however, here's unsolicited advice en masse:
- To President Kim Jong-Il of North Korea: Several diplomats report that you once wanted to pursue a career in film production. With this in mind, I would urge you to turn your attention to action sequels that have been dormant — "Rambo" and Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" come to mind. The studios would welcome your outside financing, and your productions would surely provide needed distraction from your nuclear fixation.
- To the toppers of Google and YouTube: You made sure we all knew you closed your $1.65 billion deal at a Denny's, so it's time to sweep away these Silicon Valley affectations. You guys like the big bucks as much as anyone else, so it's OK to admit you prefer Spago to Applebee's. Your chauffeurs can now pick you up in your Maybachs rather than dusting off the nanny's Chevy.
- To Barbra Streisand: Avoid hurling the "f" word at audience hecklers, because fans take it personally. I realize you don't mean to offend anyone, but while the "f" word works in dealing with movie or music executives (yes, Barbra, I've heard you), it resonates badly at Madison Square Garden.
- To Carly Fiorina: As the first female CEO of a Fortune 20 company, you've written a new book in which you describe your rage at being described as "flashy" or "glamorous" by the press. Well, Carly, Sumner Redstone has endured being called "handsome" and "youthful" for many years, and he hasn't complained.
- To Sean McManus, president of CBS News: Since the network's epiphany in recruiting Katie Couric as anchor has failed to reignite the nightly news, how about reversing the second part of your revisionist approach? That means injecting some actual news back into your nightly equation and dropping some of your riveting "lifestyle" stories, such as the three-minute interview with choreographer Twyla Tharp. Since you've essentially reduced Iraq coverage to a single sentence and North Korea to a clause, will Katie next try to encapsulate the approaching election results in a 30-second soundbite?
- To political campaign strategists: Since every politician follows the mantra that "the family" is the only thing that holds our country together, would someone please study the latest census report? Data confirmed last week that married folks are now officially in the minority. The majority of households in this country consist either of single people or unmarried couples. So who will be the first brave politico who aims his pitch at singles? No, that suggestion is not aimed at Congressman Foley.
- To Warren Beatty: Now that you're spinning your behind-the-scenes anecdotes on "Reds" 25 years after its initial release — talk about a tardy press tour! — why haven't you included an account of Paramount's contortions in funding your pricey epic?

Just when the University of Kansas Medical Alumni Association came into being is not quite clear. The statistical records have not been compiled inasmuch as a full-time secretary in a separate alumni office at the Medical Center came into existence around 1972. There was previously a part-time secretary.
Records of "officers" back to 1949 have been found. However, the Medical Association was in existence many years prior to that time. There are now approximately 5,000 living graduates.
Donations formed the financial survival of the early years. The first regular dues in the amount of $1 were collected in 1952. In 1956, the dues were increased to $5 and to $10 in 1970. In 1977, dues increased to $15 and then again 1982 to $25. Currently, the dues are $50 annually.
Many medical alumni complete their undergraduate education on a campus other than KU. The Alumni & Community Relations office works to provide a relationship with these alumni, which serves to enhance their total university allegiance.
In 1987, the Medical Alumni Association formed a Wichita Alumni alliance. The Wichita office serves to strengthen the relationships with those students completing their two years of clinical training on that campus.
The University of Kansas Nurses Alumni Association was organized October 14, 1919. In 1937, regular membership dues in the amount of $5 were collected from alumni who resided in Kansas District No. 2. Non-Residents were those alumni living outside this district who paid dues in the amount of $2. At some point, the resident clause was dropped and membership for all nurse graduates was $5.
There were 1,342 dues paying members in 1996 for the entire calendar year (an all-time high). There were 1,229 paid memberships for 2000. At present the regular membership consists of any graduate of the University of Kansas School of Nursing, any Honorary Nurse Alumnus and School of Nursing present faculty.

No. 15 UMass Grinds Out Win At Richmond, 19-6
Sept. 1, 2005
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
RICHMOND, Va. - No. 15 UMass won its season opener for the sixth time in seven years as the Minutemen downed A-10 rival Richmond in the 2005 debut for both teams, 19-6. Payton Award candidate Steve Baylark ran for 120 yards while Buchanan Award candidate Shannon James picked off his 17th career pass in the win. Junior Brandon Smith had the first two interceptions of his career including the one to seal the game with 6:26 left as Richmond was driving deep into UMass territory. Smith picked off a pass at the three-yard line and returned it 55 yards for the clincher. Senior quarterback Tim Day threw for 158 yards including two touchdowns.
It was the 12th time in Baylark's career he gained more than 100 yards and second against Richmond. James continues to lead all players in the Division I-A and I-AA in career interceptions.
UMass' defense was solid all game picking off four passes. In the first half they pitched a shutout and allowed just 92 total yards of offense, picking off two passes. For the game, UMass gave up just 291 yards. Richmond's top offensive weapon Stacy Tutt gained just 33 total yards playing wide receiver and quarterback.
On the heels of a James' 17th career interception, UMass built the lead to 16-0 on 51-yard bomb from Day to Brandon London with 53 seconds in the first half. London hauled in the pass and streaked down the right sideline for the longest reception of his career. James' pick continued to add to his Division I-A/I-AA leading career total.
The teams traded interceptions midway through the second quarter. Brandon Smith picked off his first pass at UMass but on the ensuing drive, Day was intercepted by Stephen Howell of Richmond at the Spiders' 31-yard line.
J.J. Moore hauled in a 12-yard touchdown score as Day rolled out and hit the sophomore with 3:34 left in the first quarter to put UMass ahead 9-0. Cuko's extra-point attempt was blocked following the score.
After a great defensive stop on Richmond's first drive of the game, UMass scored the first points of the season on an Armando Cuko 24-yard field goal with 8:13 left in the first quarter. The drive was keyed by a pair of completions to Brandon London and a 25-yard run by Baylark.
Richmond got on the board with 37 seconds left in the third quarter as senior Stacy Tutt plunged in from one-yard away to make it 16-6. Tracy Belton intercepted the two-point conversion.
Armando Cuko added a 31-yard field goal with 4:14 left to make it 19-6 after Smith's second interception of the game.
Richmond's Ryan Mace was carted off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital after suffering what appeared to be a neck injury with 7:49 left in the first half. He gave a No. 1 hand-signal as he was taken to the ambulance.
UMass continues on the road next week at Colgate on Saturday, Sept. 10. Kickoff is set for Noon and will be televised live on CN8. The home opener takes place under the lights against Albany on Sept. 17 at McGuirk Stadium.

* Baylark took the carry on UMass' first offensive play of the season for a one-yard carry. J.J. Moore hauled in the first reception of the season for a 12-yard gain from Tim Day on third down of the first series.
* Redshirt freshman Sean Caliccho made his first career start - in his first-career game - at right tackle. He was the only freshman (true or redshirt) to start.
* UMass played three true freshmen in the opener, kicker Armando Cuko, Sean Smalls and George Byrd.
* Others making their UMass debuts were transfers John Hatchell, Matt Lawrence, Frank McDonald, Michael Meggett and Patrick Powell and redshirt freshmen Brian Ellis, Darrlyn Fenner, Ian Jorgensen and Andy Resende-Gomes.

* UMass was playing a Thursday night opener for just the third time in school history, with the others coming in 1998 (at Delaware) and 2000 (William & Mary at home). Also, it was just the fourth-non Saturday football game for UMass since 1961.
* UMass debuted their new Nike jerseys in the game and wore all white.

The heater blower motor typically only works on high. Occasionally it will turn on if on 3rd setting (4th is high). I'm guessing that the problem of earlier Taurus models where water gets into the motor is still an issue, but so far am not able to confirm that.

College Hockey:Return of capable core has Connecticut eyeing a move up standings
The Connecticut Huskies are coming off a breakthrough season that saw them advance to the Atlantic Hockey semifinals for the first time in five years.
Coach Bruce Marshall said now that his team, which returns a strong nucleus from last season, including eight of its top 10 scorers, has gotten a taste of winning, it's time to take the next step.
"We definitely want to keep it going and change the things that need changing for us to do even better," he said. "With success comes responsibility. We can't think it's going to be automatic."
Last season's success was unexpected as a strong freshman class contributed to an offense that averaged more than a goal a game better than the previous season. Leading the way were Cole Schneider (33 points last season) and Billy Latta (26). In all, freshmen contributed 121 points.
"[The rookies last year] played without expectations," said Marshall. "This year will be different."
Who are the leaders on this young team?
"Leaders emerge," he said. "As a coaching staff we've been having those discussions. Corey Jendras has really emerged. He persevered though a lot last season. [Sean] Ambrosie has been getting better every year. He had a strong rookie season and was even better last year. He and guys like Marcello Ranallo have more responsibility on them."
The Huskies have had strong goaltending for several seasons, and junior Garrett Bartus is no exception. He joined the team midway though his freshman year and played in all but two games last season.
"Garrett has proven that he can get the job done, but we also have [junior] Matt Grogan, who came in several times last season and played really well. He can shut teams down."
UConn again welcomes a large rookie class that includes several junior league all-stars.
"We really like our incoming class," said Marshall. "We expect them to make contributions right away."
If this class fares as well as last year's rookies, the Huskies will be in the hunt again.
About the Huskies
2010-11 overall record: 15-18-4
2010-11 AHA record: 13-12-2 (sixth)
2011-12 predicted finish (coaches poll): Fifth
Key losses: Andrew Olson (F)
Players to watch: Cole Schneider (so., F), Sean Ambrosie (jr., F), Billy Latta (so., F), Garrett Bartus (jr., G)
Impact rookie: Cody Sharib, who posted 50 points in 44 games last year in juniors.
Why the Huskies will finish higher than the coaches poll: Another great rookie class will mean that the Huskies improve on their fifth-place finish.
Why the Huskies will finish lower than the coaches poll: A sophomore slump could mean trouble for a team that will rely on that class to repeat its success.

Newspaper article St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
TUSKEGEE AIRMEN IN FAIR SPOTLIGHT; Two Will Be Honorary Grand Marshals for Veiled Prophet Parade; Black Pilot Will Fly Famous WWII Mustang Plane; FAIR ST. LOUIS
Article excerpt
Retired Col. George Boyd travels across the country to air shows, high schools and universities telling stories about his days as a Tuskegee Airman and delivering a message: Americans should never stop fighting for their rights.
He estimates that he's told more than 80,000 people that message so far, and he'll keep doing so this weekend at Fair St. Louis.
Boyd, 87, of Kansas City, will be one of the honorary grand marshals at the Veiled Prophet parade today, along with another airman, Lt. Col. George Hardy from Philadelphia. This year's air show features multiple World War II-era aircraft, including a red- tailed P-51 Mustang associated with the famous Tuskegee pilots.
"I don't talk about the ills we've had in our country because there isn't a person alive that doesn't know what they are," Boyd said. "I talk about the good things and why they're worth protecting."
The Tuskegee Airmen were black military pilots, navigators, bombardiers and support staff, and were featured in the 2012 movie "Red Tails." The program began in 1941 at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. The program trained almost 1,000 black pilots, many of whom escorted bombers overseas in World War II.
The Red Tail Squadron boasts one of only four Mustangs that can still fly. The squadron is part of the nonprofit Commemorative Air Force, which maintains vintage aircraft and performs in air shows across the country.
The federal sequestration budget cuts grounded official military performers such as the Blue Angels. To keep the appeal of military planes, the air show reached out to groups such as the Red Tail Squadron and acrobatic pilots of other World War II-era aircraft, such as the AT-6 training aircraft, the "whistling death" F4U Corsair and a B-17 bomber.
The Mustang will be flown by Bill Shepard, a black pilot from Canada. He became a Tuskegee history buff when he realized how few black pilots perform in WWII-era planes. His favorite part of the job is seeing the expression on kids' faces when they learn about the airmen.
"They don't often see someone that looks like them doing some of the things they want to do or they dream about," Shepard said.
The air show also features an exhibit called "Rise Above." The exhibit is housed in a refurbished semi trailer and travels with the Red Tail Squadron. …

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,969 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
In today's tough economic climate, under- and unemployment is hitting the young especially hard. With college tuition rising yearly, it's becoming more difficult to sit out the recession by going back to school.
This means many young people are spending their time working jobs that don't allow them to use their most valuable skills, just to make ends meet; others cannot find jobs at all.
This not only hurts the young people themselves, but also the societies in which they reside. Aside from direct negative impacts like increased spending on benefits and a lack of taxable income, youth unemployment can also lead to social ills like a higher crime rate.
In short, keeping the young gainfully employed and out of debt is something to prioritize – and that's exactly the mission of the New York-based startup Pave.
Pave acts as an intermediary between prospects – individuals looking for funding and mentorship – and backers who wish to invest in a young person's future. Instead of asking backers to simply loan the cash to prospects, Pave requires the two parties to sign a "social-financial contract" which entitles the backer to a share of the prospect's future earnings.
The idea for a company came to co-founder and CEO Sal Lahoud when a friend came to ask him for money to follow his passions. Instead of lending cash, Lahoud agreed to give his friend money and share in his future success (or failure).
Sensing that such agreements could help more individuals than just his friend, Lahoud recruited Oren Bass and Justin Mitchell, the respective COO and CTO, to co-found Pave with him. They launched the site in December 2012, hoping to help fund everything from loan payoffs to work-related projects.
Bass says the due diligence process around the legality of the social-financial contract was arduous. His research led him to the works of Milton Friedman and the human capital contract, and it took about a year before the team felt comfortable enough to move forward.
"In essence, the contract is very simple," Bass told Crowdsourcing.org. "You get an amount of money up front to share in a percentage of future income for a certain time – that's really what it is. There are no restrictions in terms of how you use that money… It leads to a full alignment of interests between the parties, and it can lead to some amazing things such as mentoring – if someone has a stake in your future, they're massively incentivized to help you out."
While it's not a crowdfunding platform in the traditional sense, Pave's model relies on and uses many of the mechanisms that make crowdfunding work. As Bass mentioned, there's the alignment of interest between backers and prospects; as with crowdfunding, social media is key to spreading word about prospects; and since anyone can invest in an individual, Pave is open to the crowd.
For the time being, backers can contribute, at the very least, $500 to a prospect; the prospects currently featured on the site have raised between $3000 and $50,000. In return, they gave away from as little as .3 percent of future income, to 5 percent.
In the next several weeks, Pave will be launching a new feature called "Ripple." Instead of limiting the donation amount to $500, the platform will let backers donate as little as they want to a prospect. These backers won't be getting a financial return on their donation (after all, a one or two percent payout on $20 is negligible). The return, however, will be reinvested into other prospects on the platform – a sort of pay-it-forward system. Pave will also let organizations and individuals donate sums larger than $500 as Ripple money, if they wish to do so.
"It allows for this for a pool of money to be constantly cycled in the community, and, hopefully, over time, it will grow and grow," Bass explained.
Unlike companies that attempted to fill the student lending gap in the past (like MyRichUncle), Pave combines a unique financial relationship that fosters mentorship with a social, peer-to-peer platform and limits its role to facilitating the connection between the backers and prospects. The company takes 3 percent of the initial investment, and then 1.5 percent of the payouts for its services.
For its December launch, Pave helped to create eight eclectic prospect-backer teams.
"This product isn't for a certain sector of society or industry, it's actually very useful to everyone from artists to lawyers, to tech engineers, to even doctors," Bass said. "Anyone who really wants the flexibility to do something without the constraints of having to take on additional debt and is also looking to connect with people who can have an interest in a mentorship relationship with them [can benefit from Pave]."
The prospects who have gotten funding thus far bear this out. They include a jazz musician and a filmmaker, as well as an entrepreneur and an engineer. Each prospect has between four and six backers; some of them represent industries that the prospects want to end up in, while others are simply willing to mentor a young individual.
"The backers like the ability to actively influence the outcome of what they're doing," Bass said. "Whereas, when you put your money into a stock or a bond or an index, it just sits there, you obviously have no control."
"We're trying to foster a real peer-to-peer relationship," Mitchell, Pave's CTO, added. One prospect has offered to give away a percentage of future income just so he can make valuable connections, which, Mitchell believes, shows the strength and versatility of Pave's model.
Looking into the future, the Pave team is focused on recruiting more backers as well as prospects and forming relationships with "mentorship-type networks" to increase visibility and expand its backer pool.

For the second time in as many nights, the Stateline finds itself under a Freeze Warning. Temperatures early Tuesday morning fell officially to 31° at the Chicago-Rockford International Airport, and believe it or not, were held up by the fact there was still a decent wind around! The winds diminish Tuesday night, making it likely that lows will be even colder than those seen 24 hours ago! For that reason, it goes without saying that tender vegetation will need to be covered once again!
We're by no means alone in shivering! Presently 21 States plus the District of Columbia are under a Frost Advisory, Freeze Watch, or Freeze Warning!
Current forecast projections suggest another freeze is likely Wednesday night into Thursday morning, at which point a steady warmup is to begin!
Though warmer times are ahead, wetter times are also foreseen! That's not the worst news in the world, though! Already, April's running nearly an inch below normal in the rainfall department, and since March 1st,, we've seen just 65% of our normal precip! We're now below normal for 2012 in the precip category! We're running at 77% the normal clip for 2012 thus far, so it's no secret that rain's not the worst thing that could happen!
Signs are strong that rain's indeed on the way, and perhaps quite a bit of it! In examining three model runs from three different meteorological agencies, the consensus there is that 2"-3", perhaps more, could come in the week ahead! The average of the National Weather Service's GFS Model, Environment Canada's GEM Model, and the Navy's NOGAPS model's Tuesday morning runs produce 3.15" of water in the next seven days! It's a number, that at least at this point, might appear to be a bit lofty, but the model consensus is noteworthy!
Flooding's not likely to be much of an issue, due to the fact that these healthy rains are not to come all at once. Rather, they'll be distributed in waves over a 4-5 day period from Friday through Tuesday!
If there's even another silver lining to the incoming wetter pattern, there will be significant relief for allergy sufferers!!

For the past few years, Lloyd McClendon got to watch opposing managers gnash their teeth and develop ulcers at the thought of dealing with Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez. As the longtime Tigers hitting coach, McClendon got to enjoy watching Cabrera and Martinez pummel pitches..
On Friday night, he got to experience the other side of the hitting barrage. Cabrera blasted a mammoth two-run homer in the third inning and Martinez lined a three-run homer over the wall in right field in the fifth inning, leading the Tigers to a 6-3 win over the Mariners at Safeco Field.
Cabrera and Martinez found their old hitting coach before the game and engulfed him in a dual bear hug behind the batting cages.
The reunion was fun. The game wasn't.

"Not under the circumstances tonight, no," McClendon said. "I'm glad this day is over and we can get back to normalcy. Hopefully, we can get back to winning games."
Still, McClendon's fondness and respect for both hitters has been evident since the Mariners hired him. He has used both players as models for their approach, effort and diligence in preparing for games.
They offered a first-hand example Friday. Both players singled off Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma in the first inning.
But those were just warm-up hits.
In the third inning, Iwakuma gave up a two-out single to Torii Hunter to bring Cabrera, the reigning two-time American League MVP, to the plate. Iwakuma tried to sneak an elevated fastball on the inside part of the plate past Cabrera. It didn't happen. Cabrera was ready for it and crushed a towering fly ball into the Mariners' bullpen for his ninth homer of the season. The distance was estimated at just less than 400 feet.
"I wanted to go up and in tight," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "That's where I wanted that pitch. I've pitched to him many times in the past and I've located that pitch there and was able to get outs. But today, he got to that pitch. You look at him. He's a monster."
The Mariners (26-28) were able to answer against Justin Verlander, the Tigers' ace and former Cy Young award winner, in the fourth inning. Justin Smoak drew a two-out walk and Kyle Seager followed with a homer, launching a 95 mph fastball from Verlander deep into the right field seats to tie the game at 2-2. It was his team-leading eighth homer of the season.
The score didn't stay tied for long.
Iwakuma found more trouble in the fifth inning. With two outs and Ian Kinsler on second base, McClendon opted to intentionally walk Cabrera and face Martinez. The American League's leading hitter made that decision hurt. Martinez, who came into the game hitting .344, battled Iwakuma, fouling off five straight pitches on a 2-2 count. And on the 10th pitch, Iwakuma made the mistake of hanging a slider that Martinez didn't miss, driving a low liner over the wall in right field. It was his team-high 13th homer of the season.
"I was trying to win the game," McClendon said of his decision. "It didn't work. We didn't execute."
Martinez had plenty to do with that.
"We knew that technically we still had a base open," Zunino said. "We wanted to be as perfect as we could working that (outside) corner. We did a good job until that last pitch. He put a great at-bat together. We wanted to go backdoor slider and it just caught a little too much plate and was a little up. It's just the season he's having. He's so locked in."
Martinez has hit 13 homers and struck out 13 times this season.
"I've never seen a player who has the concentration every single pitch that Victor has on a nightly basis," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "The only time I see his concentration go up even higher is when he sees someone get walked in front of him."
The five runs from the two homers were more than enough for Verlander, particularly facing a Mariners lineup without Robinson Cano. But Rajai Davis provided another run, blasting the first pitch he saw from Charlie Furbush to start the seventh inning into the upper patio of Edgar's Cantina in left field for his fourth homer of the season.
Verlander, who has struggled at Safeco, worked 72/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits with a walk and seven strikeouts to improve to 6-4.
"He threw the ball fairly decent," McClendon said of Verlander. "I've seen him better, obviously. But that was vintage Justin. He was on his game and his breaking stuff was good."
Iwakuma (3-2) took his second straight loss, pitching six innings and giving up the five runs on eight hits.
"I didn't see the finish to his pitches that he usually has," McClendon said. "He's probably got a little bit of tired arm, not having a spring training and going as deep in ball games as he's gone. It's probably something that's normal and something to be expected."

I package our server releases into zip files using a batch file (Windows), running the command-line version of WinZip. Previously we did this sort of thing "by hand" but I developed the process of automating it with a batch file.
The batch file has become quite complicated because our product is complicated (i.e., Which sections are we releasing this time? Are we releasing the config files as well?) and I'm starting to run into some frustrating limitations with batch files.
Would PowerShell be a good thing to investigate as an "upgrade" to the batch file? Or is that complete overkill given that most of what it would be doing is firing off DOS commands?
Bonus: can PowerShell consume .NET assemblies? As in, could I start doing the zipping with SharpZip?

Fermenting Classes in Chicago
It's easy to make gourmet mustard at home!
In this class, we'll go over the history of mustard from around the world, basics of fermentation and the science behind hot and mild mustard. We'll grind seeds for coarse and creamy mustard, go over canning mustard for shelf-stable preservation and share ideas for incorporating this delicious condiment into recipes.
You'll go home with Maple Bourbon, Dijon-style and Bordeaux mustard in recycled jars, as well as recipes and sources to make more on your own.
This was such a great experience - easy, educational, and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
I had a great time in this class. It ended up being more of a demonstration class than a hands on experience, but I definitely got a sense of how to make my own mustard and I got to take home 3 different kinds.
really good introduction to car maintenance. i really liked the class.
My husband was unexpectedly home for the weekend and he decided to take the class with me - this man does not cook! Fortunately the hands-on experience of cutting our chicken - held his interest and mine too! We will be buying whole chickens and using our new-found skill! The bonus of this class was the chicken that Breanne and Ariel prepared - so yummy - recipes and methods that we will use over and over.
The other bonus of the class was the camaraderie that was shared with other class participants and the instructors. What a fun experience!
Thank you!
Breanne designed and built a rooftop farm in the city nearly five years ago, where she grows all kinds of fruits and vegetables and tries not to let anything go to waste by preserving everything. For the past six years, Breanne,has taught adult and youth classes in organic agriculture, cider-brewing, composting, canning, grafting fruit trees, fermenting and urban foraging.

The Tooth Fairy's Exchange System Gets a 21st Century Upgrade
"When my older son discovered his first wiggly tooth, I realized that I had the chance to define the Tooth Fairy experience for another generation. As I pondered how the Tooth Fairy would collect our family's teeth, it occurred to me that she has an awful lot of teeth to gather, especially considering the ever-rising world population. It seemed prudent to figure out a way to send the teeth to her for processing, rather than make her visit the homes of all 7,103,000,000 people on Earth. As such, I installed a pneumatic transport system (as at the bank drive-through) in my house, for the purpose of sending teeth to the Tooth Fairy, and receiving renumeration back from her."

|Softball team gears up for Thursday opener

Returning letterwinners on the 2010 HHS girls' softball team are pictured,

Makenzie Ault; and back row, Marci Vasa, Laura Gerk, Macey Pierce and
Ashley Campbell. —Enterprise photo
HHS softball action takes to the field Thursday, Sept. 2 for the season opener at Imperial, Neb. starting at 4 p.m. with a varsity doubleheader.
Kicking off the home field competition Saturday, Sept. 4 will be a varsity doubleheader with Yuma in Holyoke at 10 a.m.
Nineteen girls make up this year's HHS team, led by eight returning letterwinners.
Three exchange students, three Haxtun girls and three from Sedgwick County join Holyoke players to form the Dragon team.
Returning with letters this season are seniors Marci Vasa from Holyoke, Makenzie Ault from Revere and Macey Pierce from Haxtun; juniors Laura Gerk and Jordan Zeiler from Holyoke, Ashley Campbell from Revere and Karci Lockwood from Haxtun; and sophomore Chandler Gerk from Holyoke.
Upperclassmen dominate the Dragon roster, with eight seniors, seven juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen.
Coach Ashley Clayton, starting her second year as head mentor for the Lady Dragons, is excited about the season.
She noted the girls have high expectations and are finally realizing they're capable of competing.
"It's exciting to feed off what happened last year at districts," said coach Clayton. The girls beat Yuma who had previously defeated them handily in regular-season play. "We played strong, consistent ball, turned a few double plays and had a home run," said Clayton of the district ball game last year.
"The girls are realizing they're right there and have what it takes to go to the next level," added Clayton.
Both Holyoke and Sedgwick County had successful 2009-10 girls' basketball seasons, and that helped, noted the coach. The girls from the two schools competed against each other in basketball, but quickly set that aside to work together in the softball arena.
Citing the first two weeks of practice, coach Clayton said the girls hustled and worked hard. She feels good about the change in the competitive atmosphere among the team and praised senior leadership for driving that.
Lower Platte Activities Association teams competing in 3A softball include Akron, Holyoke, Wray and Yuma. These four will be joined by Union Pacific teams Burlington and Limon to form District 4 for post-season competition.
Steven Ortner serves as assistant softball coach, and Ron Lock and Mike Meusborn are volunteers. Junior Amy Krogmeier serves as team manager.
This Saturday's doubleheader with Yuma is one of only two home games slated for the Lady Dragons this season. Holyoke will host Wray Saturday, Sept. 25 in the other home field doubleheader.
HHS will compete at a Burlington tournament, as well as other contests at Akron, Wray, Limon and Burlington.

Finally collection day!
Here it is, pics were taken at the services during the long haul back home (100
miles!) A lovely sunny day.
After having driven for 2 miles I got to try out the VIS
and it sure makes the car fly!
Here is the spec -
4 door saloon in X-Power Grey
Full leather seats
Climate Control
KV6 quad-cam 2497cc engine
54 plate
I say 54 plate, but when I first saw that car it had a private plate on it
which was an '04, fortunately we noticed the registration date on the V5 which
made us realise that it was actually a 54, an added bonus! I will get the plate
swapped to a local 54 plate in a few weeks.

Trip to see the car...love at first sight! I hadn't seen a MK2 in the flesh and
I wasn't disappointed, it was amazing, a fantastic shape, the MK2 looked
awesome. I was looking for a car that was subtle but the 'extreme' spoiler
didn't look out of place. Again the V6 engine was a pleasure to drive.
I was pleased that I didn't buy the MK1 ZS I'd seen earlier in the week!
I hadn't seen any pictures of the car but was happy to find that it had climate
control and the full leather seats, although I was intending to get a hatchback
the saloon looked the business. Below are some pics I took with my phone after
the test drive.
I'm due to collect the car on 9th June.
May 31st 2005
I had been trawling all the main online car sale sites for a couple of weeks,
looking for a replacement. I'm not sure why but the MG ZS has caught my
attention, which is amazing considering that I have never been 'aware' of the
MG range.
There was a 04/53 plate for sale locally which I went and test drove. I was
impressed with the V6 engine but the interior seemed dated, but this was
something I could live with. Ideally I was looking for a saloon and this was a
hatchback, although it did look very nice in Trophy Blue - a colour I had
previously decided to avoid.
Of course it was the last day of the month and the saleman was keen to squeeze
in another sale before the end of the day, however despite all his attempts to
convince me I just couldn't get past it being a hatchback...but this did prove
to be a good descision a week later.
