Jointly organised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the UN Office on Sport for Development and Peace (UNOSDP), with the support of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the biennial event aims to assess the successes and challenges of using sport as a tool for human development and peace promotion and looks at how to pave the way for future concerted action in these fields.
Whilst there is no doubt about the positive role sport can play in society, it remains work in progress to make sporting initiatives more powerful, sustainable and integrated into nations' development agendas. Under the theme of "Creating a Common Vision", high-level stakeholders from governments, the sporting community, the UN system, the academic and business worlds, civil society groups and the media will debate the impact of sport on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as how to move forward with the mainstreaming of sport in development policies and strategies. The participants will also look at other issues which increasingly affect sport and its organisation, such as the protection of youth, gender equality and integrity of sport. Mario Pescante, Permanent Observer for the IOC to the UN and Chairman of the IOC International Relations Commission, said: "The past forums have featured excellent keynote speakers and provided high-level discussions which resulted in concrete recommendations for follow-up action embraced by all participants. I expect nothing less for New York. Once again it will be about translating the huge potential in the meeting room into concrete action on the ground, especially in relation to the developing countries. There is always more to be done." Wilfried Lemke, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Sport for Development and Peace, said: "The collaboration between the United Nations and Olympic family has never been better. The 2013 Forum in New York can contribute to further developing our collaboration, in particular in defining concrete intervention, and to engaging other important stakeholders such as governments, civil society, academia and the business sector. It is important that the meeting will focus on concrete outcomes for the benefit of those most in need, as action speaks louder than words".

"What are you going to say about Steve Jobs?" everyone has been asking me – or at least, the rare subset of people who know about this column and are also sufficiently co-located to bump into me in restaurants and bars. "Important guy…he changed the world…must be lots to mention…"
Actually, I wasn't planning on saying anything. There are certainly many people out there writing about the passing of Apple's enigmatic founder. What could I add? I never met the man. But most of the commentary isn't really about personal reflections anyway – it is about Apple's role in the greater culture, and I can certainly comment on that as well as anyone, having lived through 100% of it from my vantage point out in the ether.
Steve Jobs had a vision for taking extremely complex things and coaxing them into a state of supreme simplicity. For that alone he will surely be remembered, and his skills were so profound that, yes, it really might be appropriate to use a word like "genius" to describe him. He had a remarkable ability to transform a very pure vision of simplicity into actual, concrete objects.

Captain's View: Richard Bunting's weekly look inside The Walks
13:31 06 October 2012
Archant © 2012
Another week down and only one game to talk about – but what a match it was for us.
We entertained Barwell on Saturday in the FA Trophy first qualifying round and in my opinion we put on a great performance for everyone watching. I think it's the first time this season we have played well from the first to the last whistle, a fact made even more pleasing given the level of opposition we were up against.
After an even start to the game the referee awarded them a penalty. If I'm completely honest it looked it from the position I was in, so there were no complaints from me.
Everyone's aware of the couple of weeks Peds (Alex Street) has had and I think the rest of us have made more of it than him. He's been top drawer and proved to everybody, again, on Saturday what a good keeper he is and how good he is going to end up being.
After Peds made a great save from the original penalty, the linesman took it upon himself to let the ref know he thought Peds was off his line. I've watched the highlights on YouTube and you will see keepers jumping forward twice as far as that week in, week out.
The outcome of the second penalty was exactly the same as the first thankfully with Peds outwitting the lad again which is a surprise in itself, ha! Things like penalty saves in a game can really inspire performances and maybe Peds' stop gave us the platform to produce one. Our breakthrough came just after the hour mark and was so typical of Turns (Jason Turner).
Although it was his first goal from open play this campaign he always looks like scoring and has been getting goals for about 40 years! Having nicked in front of the 'keeper I just knew he'd at least hit the target.
I did, however, think he would hit the ball a bit harder to make certain. But at least it went in. We all celebrated together, which I think is important, because you can always judge team spirit by the goal celebrations.
With about 20 minutes to play after the goal I was expecting them to really put us under pressure but I don't think they did. It does help when our defence plays as well as they all did on Saturday mind.
All four off them were massive for us. Even Gullers (Gulliver) took a leaf out of Jordy's (Jordan Yong) book and ventured forward and got a shot off. The pace of him doing it was ridiculous; I admit I had to hold back the laughter.
It was buzzing in the bar after the game, having won 1-0, and it was nice to have a pint with a few of the supporters. I don't think it will be too long before I will have to stick my hand in my pocket and get a round in for them. A few look like they enjoy a pint or two as well!
Away from matchdays, we trained only once last week and I came in for a bit of stick. Not a lot gets past these lads and my clobber wasn't going to be something that did. I didn't choose wisely when I got changed, and yes, I have to agree I looked a little chavvy. I was only wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hoody, mind.
The real shock though was the main source of the banter. Ross McNeil (first-team coach) let me have it. I'm sure everybody who is reading this, and knows him, would agree he is hardly a fashion icon. After all I didn't have a pop at his designer beard last week. And I didn't mention the fact I think I heard him ask Dunks (Dunkley) how to get it like his as he thought it looked really nice.
We're back to the league now (Romulus at home on Saturday, Coalville at home on Tuesday) and the lads are full of confidence. It's too early to be calling the latter a title decider but we're looking forward to it. Let's hope there's a good crowd for both games. See you all down The Walks.

There's just something so wonderful about a hot dude all bundled up and walking his dogs.
And believe you me, these shots of Zachary Quinto doing just that are super wonderful. The Star Trek star was spotted in Cambridge, Massachusetts earlier today where he is currently starring as Tom in The Glass Menagerie over at A.R.T. I love that he's this big movie star, but still loves doing theatre. Also, he's starring in it with Cherry Jones! Love her!
Zachary did get asked for an autograph during his walk, but unfortunately had to decline as he was off to do a matinee and an evening performance. Now, what's all this about getting married?
Well you know how adorable Zachary and his boyfriend, Jonathan Groff, are, right? Well, apparently Zachary might be popping the question to Jonathan any day now. A source told PerezHilton, "It's by far the happiest relationship he's ever been in. They've been serious for a while now, but things have heated up since they started living together."
A wedding! I love weddings! Drinks all around! The proposal hasn't happened just yet, but we're hoping it happens soon! Any of you east coast folks have a chance to check out The Glass Menagerie? Think he and Jonathan would make a good married couple? Sound off in the comments!

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
My users are getting this error message when accessing certain Excel files. We are all using the Small Business P1 version. Other postings have suggested that this problem is caused by the file sizes exceeding the 10Mb limit imposed by Office 365 but this is not the case. I believe the issue lies with the way that Office 365 is handling the files when they contain macros or look up tables.
To test the problem I've created spreadsheets of various sizes, some with a simple look up table, and uploaded them to our Team Site with the following results -
1) A file of 13 MB won't open directly and the user gets a message that it's exceeded the maximum size allowed (which is as expected).
2) A file of 9.1 MB without a look up table will open in the browser and data can be manipulated normally.
3) A file of 6.7 MB with a look up table WILL NOT open in the browser; instead the user gets the "Your session has exceeded its limits and has been closed" message.
4) A file of 6.5 MB with a look up table WILL open in the browser but as soon as the user attempts any manipulation of data the "Your session has exceeded its limits and has been closed" message appears. The file cannot then be reopened.
5) A file of 5.2 MB with a look up table behaves in the same way as #4 above.
In other words, I don't think the issue is solely related to size, otherwise #3, 4, and 5 should have worked in the same way as #2.
None of the spreadsheets on our Team Site exceed 8 MB so we fully expect Office 365 to handle all these files without us having to buy even more client installations of Excel just so that our users can view data. After all, isn't that what we're already paying for in our monthly subscription?
Thanks for the feedback.
Microsoft have finally come clean and admitted that their advertised 10 MB Excel file limit in Office 365 is really only that if you don't want to do very much with the data in the file. If you're using, for example, a simple pivot table then MS Office will probably decide that you're exceeding the limit and produce the error message because the memory size required to process the activity will breach the 10 MB marker. Their solution? Either make do without the functionality you need or buy a client version of Excel to install on your desktop (in addition, of course, to the monthly fee you're already paying for the Web App version of Excel in Office 365....)
We too are getting the "Your session has exceeded its limits and has been closed" error with files much smaller than 10 MB, or even 3 MB.
The files will open in the Excel Web App, but when you try to sort the column of the table, or filter the pivot table or the table, using slicers or using the filters, then it crashes and gives that same error
I built some simple test files to see where it happened
Each file has a table with X rows (each is different) and 10 columns consisting or random data with random groupings
there are two with no pivot tables:
1) 3.6 MB - FAILS SORT TEST 40,000rows - has NO Pivots- - this consists only of a table of data - fails when you try to sort
2) 2.4 MB - PASSES SORT TEST 25,000rows has NO Pivots - only a table of data but you can sort it and filter it etc and it does not crash
and there are three which have pivot tables
1) 0.95 MB - PASSES ALL TESTS - 8,000rows - has pivots and passes both the sort the table test and the "clear the filters on the slicer and play around with the slicers" tests
2) 1.7 MB - PASSES MOSTLY - 15,000rows - this one passes all the tests except if I open it right after the next file has failed (#3) so there must be some sort of cache thing - quite strange. If I open it "fresh" it does not fail
3) 2.6 MB - FAILS - 25,000rows - this one fails both the SORT test and the PIVOT tests
The question is "why does this happen when the files are all much less than 10 MB"?
The files open up fine, but fail when you try to sort or use filters - it would seem to be something related to RAM usage or something like that. Is there an undocumented limit on that?
So how do we get around this? Can we pay for more "RAM" resources or whatever the limiting factor is?
I have tried assigning max storage and max resources to the site collection but this has no effect. I have tried it on 3 different browsers - all have the same problem. Tried it on different site collections - same problem.
Hello Peter and Sabre,
This is Justin with Microsoft Online SharePoint Support. Thanks for your questions.
This issue can be caused by both the file size and other factors of the Excel sheet. Per the Microsoft Office Web Apps Service Description, the max file size is 2 MB for SkyDrive, and 10 MB for SharePoint. This cannot be changed by the user or by Microsoft for SharePoint Online. I understand there is a discrepancy in that it may suggest that this can be changed in the service description, but it cannot. This is due to be changed in the future.
Since the Excel Web App is not a full desktop application, some of the features in spreadsheets may cause the files to not work. This may include lookup columns, macros, or anything special that might be embedded into the file. If you open the file in the client application, and remove some of these features, does the error still return? Please let us know.
Justin Ronan
Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint Support
Thanks for confirming that these problems are not related to the size of the files.
It turns out that there are numerous features one would expect to be able to use in a workbook that cannot be handled by Excel Web App. I've found a fuller description of those limitations here - pages.citebite.com/i1w5w8t7o8xns
It's extremely disappointing that Microsoft doesn't make explicit reference to these shortcomings when promoting Office 365. For our part we are now stuck with having to buy yet more Excel desktop licences to access quite basic spreadsheets.
Hi Justin,
I hope, as you say, that this is due to be changed in the future - the very near future would be good. I share Peter's frustration in that some very basic functionality of Excel crashes as the file gets larger than about 2 MB - We are on Office 365 Sharepoint online so the limit should be 10 MB.
For example, as I mention above, the SORT function, simply sorting a column, one of the most basic functions of any spreadsheet, does not work when the file size gets past about 4 MB. It will still open a larger file but when you try to sort it will give the "exceeded" message. Nowhere in any documentation does it speak of this basic function being restricted. And the PIVOT functionality works perfectly with small data sets, but crashes when the file gets above about 2 MB. So it isn't the functionality that is being restricted, but some aspect of memory or something similar which causes the misbehaviour.
I sent all the files above to your Microsoft support staff (Kayla) and she was able to replicate the errors and confirm what I wrote above.
The one interesting thing we found out is that all the files crash in "view mode" but are fine when you move to "edit mode".
In other words, when you double click on the file to open it you can interact with it but not enter data, this is called "view mode" apparently - and the files all crash in this mode. You get to "edit mode" by hitting the "edit in browser" button.
So why would that be?
Now this may be useful information for some (perhaps Peter - let us know if edit modes helps you?), but for me it is not useful, as I am trying to make these excel sheets look basically like an interactive web page, for my customers. It looks a lot slicker than having all of the excel stuff visible - and you can disable all of this with the settings.
It also brings up the point, if you can make it work in "edit mode" can you transfer those same limits to "view mode" please. At least that will help for starters, while you work on enabling the customer to expand these limits themselves.
Peter - I disagree - the problems ARE related to the size of the file. The functions I tested work perfectly with small files and do not work with "large" files. I thought that's what you noticed too ....
I agree with you that Microsoft needs to publish a very very detailed list of the limitations though. They have published some rather vague lists of differences, but not anything that was useful in identifying the problems we have been having.
Hello all,
I appreciate your concerns. As mentioned previously, the issue can be related to either the file size or certain functions. As a reminder, the Excel Web App is not a replacement for the desktop counterpart software, and as a result may include some limitations. Unfortunately as of right now, some of the features you desire may not be available in the Web App.
The development team is always working to improve the product, and perhaps in the future some of these functions may be available. To voice your opinions on this, please feel free to submit feedback at this link to them.
Kind Regards,
Sabre – well done on the discovery of different behaviour according to mode and, yes, I should have made my comment clearer that the file size is indeed relevant. I was just trying to draw the distinction from other postings where its suggested that file size is the only cause of the problem.
Justin - I can't accept that what we are experiencing is merely a characteristic of Excel Web App. Surely it's a good old fashioned fault if one file can execute a simple function which another can't when both files are well within Office 365 limits?? I could perhaps understand it if BOTH failed but not if only one does.
If Microsoft are going to persist in the view that it's behaving correctly can we now have a definitive list of exactly what limits and functions are involved please.
Hello again Peter,
For a more in depth overview of what the limits and functions are for the Excel Web App, please follow the article below for receiving answers to your question. This will be better suited to the product you are using. I will also include a help article that may have some valuable information.
I tested the "view mode" vs. "edit mode" thing further - and it doesn't solve the problem really, it just gives you slightly more headroom.
So for example, one of my files which crashes in "view mode" at 2.6 MB (25,000 rows), works in "edit mode" without crashing
However if I increase the size to 45,000 rows (4.5 MB) then it crashes in "edit mode" too.
Testing where this happens reveals that "edit mode" give you approximately 10% more headroom. So go figure. Still doesn't get anywhere near the quoted 10 MB. Also, when it fails, it fails harder - gives you the usual "exceeded" error and then another error:
"Either due to communication issues or a server problem, you need to be rejoined to your editing session. You may have lost changes that you made recently/"
This error doesn't crash gracefully either and keeps prompting you to hit ok infinitely until you go backpage or close the page.
So "edit mode" is no fix - not really all that useful.
And btw I concur with your lament. This product is still full of bugs.
Ok this is ridiculous. I just tested my pivot table test files on Micorosoft Skydrive and they work up to 5 MB. That's twice as big as works in Office 365. And they don't crash either - just fail to load above 5 MB, which is far less aggravating.
How is this a good idea, to make your paid flagship product, Office 365, less powerful than your free product, Skydrive. ????
Hi, I'm Microsoft - "Try our new Office 365! Just like our free Skydrive product, except 1/2 as powerful! And instead of that boring old "working as advertised" that we included with Skydrive, for your $25 per month we've added new surprise bugs and crashes!"
Sign me up! Oh wait - I'm already signed up. In that case - Microsoft - can you please make the Excel web app on Office 365 the same as the one you give out for free - or maybe, gasp, even better?
Peter - Your best bet here might to be to cancel your Office 365 subscription, and move to the free skydrive product. That is if you don't need the other features. At least you'd get files working up to 5 MB. Not sure if that would help you.
Justin - Could you find out why the two Excel webapps (seemingly the exact same visually) are different? And why Office 365 got the less powerful buggy one, or what limits are being placed on the Office 365 version (RAM?) that are not being placed on the skydrive version?

May 30, 2016
The main focus on this forecast discussion (and all leading up to the event) will be on the chance for a significant severe weather outbreak across the South Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Before we get to that, today was unseasonably warm, and tomorrow looks even warmer with highs topping out in the low 70s. No rain is expected Monday or Tuesday during the day, but Tuesday will be even warmer with highs in the mid 70s, and a gusty South wind. A storm system is just now making landfall over Northern California, and that will be the one to watch over the next 48 hours or so. It is expected to dig South, and intensify. The Storm Prediction Center has a large area of the Southern US under a "Slight Risk" for Severe weather on Tuesday. We are not included yet, because it looks like our action will begin to heat up Wednesday morning. As this system moves East, it is expected to roll into a squall line that will bring the risk for damaging straight line winds, as well as the chance for embedded tornadoes, and the possibility for tornadoes in any cells that form ahead of the main line. All of the severe weather parameters look like they will be in place. Our dewpoints will be above 60, there will be plenty of moisture in the atmosphere, and winds aloft will be very strong. This system definitely bears watching over the next few days. It is not a storm system to worry about or lose sleep over, but just make sure you stay tuned and have a way of getting weather warnings Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. A NOAA Weather Radio is the best way, so go ahead and check the batteries. We'll continue to watch this, and bring you updates often.

How is Greyhound at transporting bicycles specifically in California/Nevada?
My one experience here in BC was nearly a disaster. We followed the rules listed on the website, I called ahead to ask about it, we packed the bikes properly, went in to pay the extra for the bikes and were told that they no longer ship bikes via Greyhound unless freight is used. The problem with freight is that the bikes may be on a different schedule than your bus. At the time it was a weekend when freight was not open so we would have had to cancel our trip.
I only got our bikes on by crying and the lady felt so bad she let us go on with them.
I am going to take off along the coast route from BC to Northern Cali and once there may bus around to different locations (or just ride). My bike will be my main transportation.
My decision is whether to take my folding bike that is suitcase-able or to build a full size bike and trust Greyhound/other public transport around Fresno.
It would be easier to go the Bike Friday style route, and use a suitcase trailer, then just pop the bike in and check it as normal baggage.
However I am also pining for a Salsa Fargo and this would be more difficult to transport.
What is Greyhound like down there? Are there other bussing options more bike friendly?

The Toronto International Film Festival has wrapped up its 2011 edition, and indieWIRE has entered hundreds of critics grades from 25 folks on the scene in Toronto to our criticWIRE section. Of the 300+ films screening at the festival, Steve McQueen's "Shame" had the highest average. It joined three others - Gerardo Naranjo's "Miss Bala," Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba Mirtahmas's "This is Not a Film," and Asghar Farhadi's "A Separation" - as the only films with an A- level average (among those with 4 or more grades, which are the only ones included in this article).
Notably, none of those four films actually premiered in Toronto. "Shame" made its debut in Venice a week earlier, while the others are all alums of Berlin or Cannes. Of the films that premiered in Toronto (at least officially), ones to received quite high scores from critics include Alexander Payne's "The Descendants," Sarah Polley's "Take This Waltz," Adam Wingard's "You're Next," Terence Davies' "The Deep Blue Sea," Jonathan Levine's "50/50," Lynn Shelton's "Your Sister's Sister," Ashley Sabin and David Redmon's "Girl Model" and Luc Besson's "The Lady," and Bennett Miller's "Moneyball," all of which placed in the top 25 with B+ averages
Listed below, in order, are the 44 films screening in Toronto to score averages of a B or higher. Click on the film's title for a full list of critic scores.

Jeannie Meloney retires after 20-year career at Trinity Logistics
Jeannie Meloney from Seaford recently retired after working as a logistics specialist at Trinity Logistics (formerly Trinity Transport) for nearly 20 years.
Many people were very emotional about her departure, and President/CEO Jeff Banning summarized those feelings:
"Those who have been blessed with the opportunity to work alongside Jeannie know just how special she has been to each of us and this team. In her almost 20 years here, all I can say is that she exemplified what it meant to be a Trinity team member - from her incredible work ethic, to the love she showed to all of us, to her commitment to our culture and her winning spirit. She will be missed, though there is no doubt she has left her mark here and she will always be a part of Team Trinity."
Jeannie, about to cut her retirement cake, is shown with Ed Banning, who founded Trinity Logistics with his wife Deana in 1979.

Everyone likes a drink every now and again and personally, I find there's nothing more enjoyable than enjoying a pint-or-two with a few mates down the local pub every Friday night. I suspect I'm not alone when it comes to my love of beer but I do often wonder, just how much of an effect is it really having on my health and more specifically, how many calories are in a pint of beer?
Perhaps the reason I wonder this so often is because of the constant negative portrayal of beer (or more specifically alcohol) in the media. We're constantly being bombarded with stories of excessive binge-drinking, shocking statistics and also stories of how beer makes us fat (hence the expression 'beer belly'), but just how true is all of this?
How Many Calories Are In Beer?
We all know that drinking pint-after-pint of that cloudy man-potion is probably not going to have the most positive effect on our health but when we look at the calories, things aren't actually as bad as you might have thought.
It's estimated that an average pint of beer contains around 200 – 210 calories, with a pint of 'light' beer containing an average of around 140 calories. Surprisingly, none of these calories come from fat as both regular and light beers have almost zero fat content.
Where Do The Calories Come From?
No fat? That's a good start, right? But where do the calories come from? The answer; mainly from carbs and alcohol, with a small percentage from protein. A regular pint contains 17 – 18 grams of carbohydrates which is going to translate to roughly around 70 calories. Most pints usually contain 2 grams of protein too which adds around 8 calories to each pint.
Obviously, this means the rest of the calories in your pint are derived from the alcohol content with the average beer usually obtaining around 120 – 130 calories from alcohol.
How Calorie Content Can Vary
Now, we've talked a lot about 'average pints' but truthfully, we don't always drink the average pint and if you're anything like me, you'll opt for a slightly stronger beer if it's available. Usually, a pint is going to be anywhere between 3% and 4% alcohol but as you'll know, some beers contain significantly more than this.
A lot of beers actually contain as much as 8% – 9% alcohol so when you take into account that alcohol contains 7 calories per millilitre, you soon realise that the higher alcohol content your pint is, the more calories you're going to be consuming.
To illustrate this, take a look at the list below. This shows the average calorie content for different strength beers.
3% – 178 calories
4% – 205 calories
5% – 236 calories
6% – 269 calories
7% – 300 calories
8% – 332 calories
9% – 364 calories
Obviously, exact numbers are going to vary from pint-to-pint depending on the type of beer, but it's pretty simple, the higher the percentage, the more calories it is going to contain!
What Does All Of This Mean?
Calories are simply a measure of the amount of energy in food and drink and whilst a lot of people base their diets around calories these days, it is important to remember that the 500 calories in your evening meal are going to offer far more nutrition than the 500 calories you might consume in a few pints of beer.
One of the problems with beer is that almost all of the calories are what we call 'empty calories', meaning that they contain almost no nutrition. These are the worst kind of calories as your body has only two options; burn them off or store them as fat.
Considering that most men store most of their fat around the abdominal area, beer can quickly cause a 'beer belly' when excess calories aren't burned off. Think about it, if you're consuming 4 – 5 pints a week at 300 calories, you're adding 1200 – 1500 calories to your diet each week and if you aren't burning these calories off, you're going to add 1 – 2 pounds of fat a month. Take into account the fact that a few pints is usually followed by a visit to the nearest fast-food takeaway where it's doubtful you're going to be eating anything under 500 calories, you could be gaining weight significantly faster than this.
So what am I saying? Am I saying you should stop drinking altogether? Of course not! Like most men, I'd feel pretty 'bitter' about the idea that I had to give up drinking beer and to be perfectly honest, I don't plan to any time soon.
I simply wanted to delve a little deeper into the actual facts and let you make your own mind up, rather than being misled by the negative media surrounding alcohol.
It should also be noted that alcohol does actually have some health benefits including the reduced risk of diabetes and many others, so it's not all bad news.

Spring Brook road work projects moving forward
SPRING BROOK TWP. - A culvert damaged during flooding in 2011 is expected to be repaired by August, township supervisors said Thursday, and repaving for three roads is being planned for June.
Engineers are collecting bids for a $180,000 project to replace the Swartz Valley Road culvert, and the Spring Brook Twp. Board of Supervisors plans to send $150,000 worth of additional road paving work out to bid next week. The culvert was initially damaged during tropical Storm Lee in September 2011, and officials have said it has been slowly collapsing since.
"We want to do this while school is out so as to not interfere with bus routes," said Tami Gillette, the board's secretary, of the culvert work. "It's planned to begin in June and hopefully be wrapped up by the end of August."
During construction, Ms. Gillette said no through traffic will be allowed on Swartz Valley Road. Besides allowing some homeowners to travel to and from their houses, she said traffic will have to be rerouted onto state Route 690.
Supervisors discussed at their Thursday meeting some accommodations that have to be finalized before the culvert work can start.
One homeowner whose property construction crews will need to use during the work requires the township to cut down a tree if it is damaged during the work and to provide access through the construction site. Supervisors were considering using a small, temporary bridge to address that request.
Ms. Gillette said the Federal Emergency Management Agency would have provided $8,000 to $9,000 to restore the culvert to its previous condition. Supervisors instead decided to upgrade the bridge to meet new flood standards, so the next major storm does not also incapacitate the culvert.
Township Roadmaster Charles McLain told the supervisors that paving about a mile of roadway on Sunset Lane, Ash Gap Road, and Park Street should also be wrapped up by the end of June, weather permitting.
Township officials plan to borrow about $337,000 to cover the work.

Whip-smart Ian Terry, a 21-year-old Tulane University engineering student, went from reality TV underdog to series champ this summer, winning $500,000 in season 14 of CBS's "Big Brother."
What does he plan to do with his prize money? First, he'll pay off tuition bills and maybe create a vacation fund. "I'm going to take it in stride and be smart with the money."Terry outplayed 15 other contestants on the show, which isolates players for three months while cameras follow their every move. The goal is to survive weekly evictions until the end when a jury of cast-off players votes for the winner.
Ian, who was cast as a super fan of the show, beat out backstabbing villain Dan Gheesling. The two were part of a five-player alliance Ian named the "Quack Pack.""Quack, quack" followed by a duck hand gesture was his catchphrase the last half of the season. It's a call he expects to hear a lot now.

Disney Planes: Learning to Draw with Story Artist Art HernandezSunny Chanel
I could never do what Art Hernandez does, although I sure do wish I could. The Disneytoon Studios story artist can create a perfectly executed character, like Dusty in Disney Planes, in seconds. Yes, seconds.
Hernandez's job is, well, totally awesome. He is a head of story at Disneytoon Studios and had a big hand in creating the animation for Disney Planes. In order to get it just right, Hernandez became a "virtual aviation expert," studying how planes work and look in order to distill those qualities into the characters of Disney Planes, something that he did beautifully.
He could not guess how many times he drew Dusty, which he does on a computer (the kind pictured above), but it was pretty much countless. There was about a team of eight or nine who drew the characters of Disney Planes and it took them about a year-and-a-half. A year-and-a-half of drawing Dusty? Yes, Hernandez was a pro at executing this lovable plane.
And he wanted to give us a taste of what creating a Disney Planes character is like. He went all old-school with us (supplying us with paper, pencils – and sadly – no erasers) and attempted to teach a table full of non-artistically inclined parenting bloggers how to draw the star of the upcoming sure-to-be hit. My attempt is below:
I was actually shocked it came out as cute as it did, just proving that Hernandez isn't just a great story artist but a great teacher as well!
You can check out his work with Planes flies into theaters on August 9th and watch a trail for the soaring film below:

Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao of China took a commanding lead in the pairs event at Skate America in Lake Placid yesterday. Reigning World champion Evan Lysacek of the United States stood in first place after the men's short program while Americans Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto danced to an early lead. Skate America is the fifth of six events this season in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series. In each event, the skaters are competing for global prize money of $180,000 (U.S.).
Lysacek captured first place in the men's short program ahead of Florent Amodio of France and Brandon Mroz of the United States, who placed second and third, respectively.
Lysacek delivered a passionate performance ofto "Firebird" to earn 79.17 points (39.62/39.55). "I took a lot of pride skating in my home country tonight, and I really like this program," Lysacek said. "I was in China the week before last and I had a good first step to the season, but this event is a little different challenge."
Lyscaek landed a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination, a triple flip but he cheated the triple Axel and it was downgraded by the technical panel. His three spins were graded level four. "It hasn't happened in a long time," Lysacek said about the deduction for the triple Axel. "Honestly, I just slipped and that happens sometimes. I have to be very conscious not to leave a grey area at all. That's my responsibility."
Competing in his second senior-level Grand Prix event of his career, Amodio posted a personal best 72.65 (39.90/32.75). "Today it's a really good result for me to be in second place after the short program at Skate America. I am very happy to have done a good program," he said. "I've had problems with my skates earlier this season but I was able to solve them and to get back to my level of skating."
The French teenager nailed a beautiful triple Axel, a triple Lutz and a triple Salchow-triple toe loop combination. He earned a level three for both step sequences and a level four for the change foot sit spin. His combination spin was graded a level one by the technical panel.
Mroz went for a quad-triple toe combination, but did a three-turn out of the second jump. He also had to fight for the landing of the triple Axel. The reigning U.S. silver medalist scored 71.40 points (40.90/30.50), setting a season best score. "Today I did definitely better than at my last Grand Prix, which is great," he said. "I had a few turn outs which is the adrenalin pumping but nevertheless got the job done by the number. It was going to be on home turf today and I just want to rock it hard in the long and give a good show tomorrow."
Adrian Schultheiss (SWE) is currently ranked fourth. His solid program included a triple Axel and a triple Lutz-triple toeloop combination (67.55 points). Shawn Sawyer (CAN) came in fifth. He landed a triple flip-triple toe loop combination and showed excellent spins, but he doubled the Lutz and stepped out of the triple Axel (65.95 points).
Andrei Lutai (RUS), whose luggage with his skates arrived only a few hours before the competition, finished sixth (60.54 points). 2008 European champion Tomas Verner (CZE) faded to 11th after missing his quad toe attempt and doubling the Axel and the Lutz (55.90 points).
Shen and Zhao of China took the lead with a score almost 13 points ahead of the second-place finishers, Ukraine's Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov. Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Craig Buntin followed in third.
Performing to "Who Wants to Live Forever," Shen and Zhao performed a lovely program to score a personal best 74.36 points (41.10 element score/32.96 program component score). It was a nice birthday present for Shen, who celebrated her 31st birthday yesterday. "I think we skated overall better than we did at the Cup of China, although I felt a little tired," Shen said.
The married couple was easily the class of the field. They hit solid side-by-side triple toe loops, a high triple twist and throw triple loop. The three-time World champions were awarded a level four for their spins, the hand-to-hand lift with difficult variations and a level three for the footwork. Only the backward outside death spiral was a level two.
"Last night, I went to bed at 7.30 in the evening, and today I had to skate the short program at this time! The time difference to China is 13 hours," Zhao said. "We felt really good and did all our elements clean. We are very happy about that."
Volosozhar and Morozov collected 61.70 points (35.30/26.40) in their routine to "Dreams Illusions." They opened the program with side-by-side triple toe loops, but he stepped out of the landing. "Today I made a little error on the toe loop," admitted Morozov. "Overall it felt a little hard to skate, maybe because of the time change, but it wasn't bad. Hopefully we'll skate cleaner tomorrow."
Volosozhar and Morozov's program was highlighted by a huge triple twist, a one-armed lift and throw triple loop. Volosozhar and Morozov received a level four for both spins.
Duhamel and Buntin scored a season best 59.64 (33.84/25.80). The Canadians landed a double twist and a triple toe loop in their program to "Hotel California" but their throw triple Lutz was wobbly.
"We had a great start tonight," Buntin said. "It's only our second time out with this short program. We did quite a few little technical errors. It gives us something to looking forward to tomorrow."
Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker (USA) finished fourth at 58.4 points. They completed a triple twist and throw triple loop, but she popped the Salchow. Dan Zhang and Hao Zhang (CHN) are standing in fifth place. Dan Zhang doubled the Salchow and their side-by-side spin was out of sync (56.84 points).
Belbin and Agosto (USA) too the early lead in ice dance after the compulsory dance, which was the Golden Waltz. Russia's Jana Khokhlova and Sergei Novitski and Italians Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte were in second and third place, respectively.
Belbin and Agosto put out a flowing performance and made the difficult steps look easy. The reigning World silver medalists posted a season best 39.28 points (20.22 element score/19.06 program component score).
"The Waltz felt great today. After China (Cup of China), we really wanted to go home and work on just performing more and having more speed and ice coverage. So we felt really good about how we skated and we are happy to see that our scores went up a little bit," Agosto said.
Khokhlova and Novitski earned a season best a score best score of 36.94 (18.96/17.98). "We are for the very first time in our career at Skate America, and this is also quite interesting for us. We aren't so frequent guests in America, and so we were a little surprised that we even have fans here," Novitski said. "The second competition is always easier. Obviously you already got some experience and it should be getting easier with each competition. So it was easier here (than at their first event Cup of China) and we skated more freely. It's a plus for us that we had the Waltz in both our events."
Cappellini and Lanotte scored 32.04 points (16.90/16.14). "The performance was good, but not perfect. We had a couple of small mistakes, but the judges are sitting so close to the ice and they see everything," Lanotte noted. "We know that we can do much better. We made a lot of changes to our skating in our work after switching coaches. (New coach) Muriel Zazoui works in a different way. We have improved our skating skills."
Alexandra Zaretski and Roman Zaretski (ISR) came in fourth at 31.93 points. Kimberly Navarro and Brent Bommentre (USA) finished fifth (30.19 points).

VA, DoD release new mental health app
The Defense and Veterans Affairs departments launched July 31 a mobile app called PE Coach to assist people undergoing prolonged exposure therapy, a treatment used by both departments to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
The app is available for download on iOS and Android devices and is intended as a tool for service members and veterans between treatment sessions. PE Coach is designed to help patients stick with a treatment plan already underway and, unlike many healthcare apps, is not a self-help tool, says a DoD statement.
The app gives users a central location to track therapy sessions, record sessions, complete therapy assignments and take notes on sessions. The app also offers breathing exercises for better managing anxiety.
Dr. Greg Reger, clinical psychologist at DoD's national center for telehealth and technology's innovative technology applications division, said many patients are more comfortable capturing their feelings in a note on a smartphone than they are writing in a notebook and carrying that notebook with them in public.
Educational features of the app include an explanation of exposure therapy and an explanation of PTSD symptoms.
In April 2011 the two departments launched an app called "PTSD Coach," an educational tool that also helped track symptoms and connect with support. Roger Baker, VA's chief information officer, recently said that the app was "a massive wakeup call" because it was released with few security and privacy considerations.

Is the EU on track to end the 11 year moratorium on new cultivation approvals for biotech crops ?
Brussels, 25 February 2009
EuropaBio, the European Association for Bioindustries expresses disappointment that the Member States could not reach agreement to approve these products, despite the many scientific confirmations of the safety of two biotech maize products. The products should now be voted on by Ministers at an upcoming Environment Council meeting.
"Today's vote demonstrates that several Member States are prepared to stand by the science and support farmers' access to safe products. We urge more Member States to vote according to the scientific assessments of EFSA and the calls from Europe's farmers1 and the agricultural community for more choice and put an end to the 11 year moratorium on new biotech crops for cultivation", says Nathalie Moll, Executive Director of Green Biotechnology Europe at EuropaBio. "In so doing, these Member States would give farmers new tools to meet the dual challenges of feeding a growing population and minimising the impact of farming on the environment", she added.
EuropaBio supports the Commission in achieving its goal of ensuring the proper functioning of the biotech approval system established by the Member States themselves. When these biotech cultivation applications are voted in Council next, Member States are urged to follow EU law and approve these products without further and unjustified delay.

Free Archery Skill
Visit Faendal at riverwood (he's a wood elf that usually stands by the mill) and ask him to follow you. Then ask him to train your archery. (Have some gold around at least to make your first purchase of training). Ask to borrow something and take his gold. It's not considered stealing. Repeat the last two procedures as many times as you like.
NOTE: You can only level archery 5 times per level, but you level up slightly every time your archery skill goes up. This will work with any trainer who can also be a follower.
Dragon Tomb Location
Use a shout in front of a guard (not a dangerous one). A courier will deliver a letter from a "friend", giving you the location of another dragon tomb.
Easy Armor, Spells, and General Leveling
Set the difficulty to "Novice" and have a weak one-handed attack enemy hit you while healing. This will level the armor you are wearing, restoration, also may level up illusion.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Reference
Search inside the museum of Dawnstar to find a display case containing a yellowing piece of paper with the symbol for Oblivion. Pick the lock and use a spell for a few seconds on the paper to turn it into a bucket.
Glitch: Easy Experience
Go to the village named "Riverwood" and find a house called "Alvor & Sigrid's House". Inside is a man named Hadvar. Rest until it is after 8 a.m. so that Alvor leaves the house. Sigrid and the young girl should remain downstairs and Hadvar will be upstairs. If he is not, just wait and he will come upstairs. Save the game before the next part in case something goes wrong. Equip your strongest sword or weapon that you want improved skill for, and sneak behind him until he cannot see you. Do a heavy strike and he will stumble to the floor. When he gets up will have no knowledge that you hit him. He also never dies, so it can be done indefinitely. Repeat the process to level up as much as desired. This will also maximize your Sneak skill, and whatever weapon type you are using.
Become a Werewolf
Go to the city of Whiterun. Move through the town until you reach Dragonsreach, which is the castle. While standing on the steps looking at the doors to Dragonsreach, look to your right. There should be a building that resembles a ship's hull. This is where the Companions are located. Go and join them. After a few quests you are given the chance to become a werewolf. To use your new ability, go to "Magic", then "Powers", then "Beast Form". Beast Form can be used once a day. You will turn into a werewolf and friendly humans will attack you. You will have increased speed, health, damage, and stamina. You cannot pick up objects. If you kill a human you can "Feed" on the corpse to regain some health and extend the duration of Beast Form. This is also useful for traveling great distances on foot. When the werewolf sprints, it runs on all fours, and moves much faster than a horse. The werewolf's stamina also regenerates very quickly.
Easy Gold
At the beginning of the game, when you reach to the first town of Riverwood start chopping wood and find the man named Hod. He usually stands at the top of the sawmill during the day. He will pay you for "all the wood you can carry" as he puts it. However, there is no limit to how much you can make buy chopping wood and selling it to him. He never runs out of gold like the merchants. Chop and sell wood to him until you have as much gold as desired.
Easy Conjuration Experience
To do this, it is best to have the Bound Sword spell, because you are able to conjure two of these at the same time to gain experience faster. This works best when there is an enemy that is trying to fight you, but you are at an area that they cannot reach you (for example, fighting a troll or bear while you are too high for them to actually hit you). Use the Bound Sword spell, put the sword(s) away, then repeat the process. Doing this will increase your conjuration levels very quickly.
This trick requires dragons roaming around and being far enough in the Dark Brotherhood to have Shadowmere. When you find where a dragon is located, Fast Travel there so Shadowmere can be with you. Start the battle with the dragon. Do not worry when the dragon goes after Shadowmere, as Shadowmere is invincible and will fight and eventually will kill the dragon for you. Use the Bound Swords spell as described above and it will have the same outcome.
Easy Restoration Experience
Go to High Hrothgar. Go out the door to the area where you are taught the Whirlwind Sprint. Once you get outside, go to the right. You will soon find a small staircase that goes up to show that looks like a blizzard of some kind. Go forward just enough to start getting hurt by it and begin using the Healing spell. Your health will go down slowly because you are using the healing spell, but you will also gain experience. This is better than fighting an enemy and leveling up your experience because you can control how much danger you are taking by simply walking backwards.
Easy Smithing Experience
This process will require a bit of coinage, and the more money you have the better. Once you have a vast fortune, go to every town and visit each blacksmith. Buy all their Iron Ignots and Leather. Once you visit the last blacksmith, turn your leather into Leather Strips and make Iron Daggers at the forge. Continuously make Iron Daggers and your Blacksmithing will eventually reach 100. You can also try the dagger process with steel, but iron is cheaper. If you do not want to waste more money on iron, just make Leather Bracers. It is a slower process, but is still effective.
With about 5,000 gold, start in Whiterun and buy all of the Leather Strips and Iron Ingots from both blacksmiths (the one at the entrance and one at Skyforge if joined the companions). Forge Iron Daggers until you run out of materials. Fast Travel to Solitude (or Carriage Ride if not discovered) and do the same thing there with the Solitude blacksmith. Fast Travel back to Whiterun and both blacksmiths will have replenished their supplies of Iron Ingots and Leather Strips. With about 5,000 gold and selling the daggers, you can upgrade Smithing from level 26 to level 100 in about one or two hours and have full dragon gear. You do not have to worry about not increasing your other stats, as you can just save perks and use them whenever.
Easy Sneak Experience
At the beginning in Helgen's Keep, you will encounter a sleeping bear. Your guide states that you can either sneak past it or kill it. Just off to the left of where your guide stops is a small rock pile. Go to the back side of it, and you can sneak in the crevice there and remain hidden from the bear. Keep sneaking at the rock and your skill will increase. You can do this for as desired, because the bear only moves if it detects you. To make sure you are in a good location, sneak for a short time, then check your Sneak skill to see if it is rising. If not, move slightly closer to the bear and keep trying.
Note: This trick will also help you gain weapon experience. While doing the Molag Bal quest, and after you save the priest, go to the shrine. When he gets trapped in the cage, crouch behind him and hit him with the weapon of your choice. Note: Spells may also work too. He will heal quite fast, and he is invincible until he submits and you are forced to kill him for the Daedric lord. Note: Using spells will turn it into a real fight and your follower may become aggressive. However, it can still raise your Destruction level.
Moving When Over Encumbered
If you are over encumbered and are far away from a city, the fastest way to move is through the Whirlwind Sprint Shout. It can be used continuously and will get you to the nearest city quickly so you can sell. This also works when exiting caves and dungeons.
Paarthurnax Insults
Get the Elder Scroll, then go to Paarthurnax and use the "Throw Voice" shout at him. A new voice will shout insults such as "Hey, ugly!", "Hey, skeever butt!", "Hey, melon head!", "Hey, melon nose!", "Hey, troll bait!", "Hey, slug-breath!", and "Hey, cheese brain!"
King Arthur References
Between Sundered Towers and Blackwind Bluff, you will find a cave called "Rebels Cairn" Inside this cave you must put a magic sword in a stone to open a door outside the cave to the left. You will find another sword in a stone.
Unlimited Arrows
Find someone that is shooting at a target for practice. Stand near the target and collect all the arrows. This becomes very useful if you are an archer.
Infinite XP Glitch

Resilience: A Lesson From Sochi (BBC)
February 20, 2014
In his latest BBC "Syd Weighs In" column, Sydney Finkelstein of the Tuck School of Business writes about the lessons to be learned from the resiliency of Olympic athletes.
Finkelstein, the Steven Roth Professor of Management and the associate dean for executive education at Tuck, says resilience is "often the secret sauce that separates the highest achievers from the mass of people who are perfectly capable, but not exceptional. If doctors could prescribe resilience, we'd all want it."
It is important for people to be resilient in both their professional and their personal lives, says Finkelstein. "Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next. Even when you don't know what it is. Failures, setbacks and falling down on the ice in front of millions of people are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive, and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional."
Read the full opinion piece, published 2/20/14 by the BBC.

Visit Classic Porn DVDs
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Are you all grown up and still raiding your dad's old stash of porn tapes? If so, it's really high time that you stop. Borrowing your old man's VHS tapes might have been the only way you could enjoy classic porn at one point, but nowadays there are websites that bring you nothing but smut from the '70s and '80s. Classic Porn DVDs is one such site.
You'll encounter a few familiar faces while exploring ClassicPornDVDs, but there are less to be seen now than there once were. There's less content on the site as well, as it has done away with two of its three sections. These days, all of its films can be found in the "video galleries" area.
There are only four movies in total and they can only be downloaded in parts. That's a little unfortunate, but the clips still run for about 10 minutes each, so it's not like they're that short. The vids come in Windows Media format and offer good-quality playback. You can't stream them, so downloading is the only way to enjoy them.
Once you've got the flicks downloaded, you can sit back and watch as blowjobs are given, pussies are eaten and hot babes are fucked. Decades after it was produced, this action remains as hot as ever. Actually, for some of you, the sex might look better now simply because the site gives you nice, clean versions of the films. If you've been watching these classics on degraded VHS tapes, you'll see a marked improvement.
There aren't any photos, but there is a photo section and we're told that picture sets will be "coming soon" - however, the website has been saying that for a long time now. Fortunately, your membership gives you access to lots of sites from the Porn Nerd Network, including Alabama Slammer, MILF Mia and Sweet Donna DDD. There are supposed to be DVDs to check out as well, but there weren't any available on my visit.
Classic Porn DVDs isn't updating and now it's smaller than it was when we first gave it a look in October 2011. Yes, its few movies are quite long, but more content is needed. You'll definitely want to wait until more videos materialize before you get yourself a membership, though it now looks like that'll never happen.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Breakfast Hash Browns
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
I find this recipe simple and the aroma mmmmm. The secret making hash browns is to partially cook the potatoes first so they do not discolor when you cook them. The cheese in this recipe helps them hang together so you get a golden cake of hash browns not just broken up bits. Boil your potatoes ahead of time and it will only take 10-15 minutes to finish them at breakfast
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb russet potato
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- pepper
- 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese (mild, medium or aged your choice)
- 2 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled,optional
- 2 green onions
- Boil the potatoes until just barely tender, set aside to cool so you can handle them.
- Grate the potatoes.
- Spray a non stick skillet with veggie oil and place half the potatoes in it, sprinkle with salt& pepper.
- Top with cheddar, green onions& bacon.
- Add remaining potatoes, pat down.
- Turn heat to high and cook about 5 minutes, shaking pan to keep the potato cake loose.
- Using a spatula lift edges carefully to see when the bottom is golden brown.
- Place a plate over the skillet and invert the pan getting the potato cake out in one piece, brown side up on the plate.
- Spray the skillet with oil again and slide the potato cake back into the pan uncooked side down.
- Cook about another 5 minutes.
- Slide back onto a plate and cut into wedges.

These are delicious! I used store-bought fresh hashbrowns (shredded) to save time, and added the bacon for flavor. I do have to caution folks about one thing... the flipping part... easier said than done, LOL. Part of mine ended up on the kitchen floor. I would suggest cutting the hashbrown "cake" into pieces in the pan, then flipping with a wide spatula. The end result is just as tasty, if not as pretty, and your floor stays cleaner! :o) Good recipe, Bergy, I will definately be making these again!
This was very tasty and easy to prepare! Next time I'll use more cheese :-)
Really, really good! I used finely diced red onion in place of green. Make sure you use a non-stick pan - or they'll stick (oops!). Wonderful taste, texture. Definitely will be making these again.

HOWARD COUNTY (WUSA9) -- Police are searching for suspects involved in an armed robbery at a liquor store in Laurel.
The incident occurred on May 4 at approximately 11 p.m. at the 'All Saints Liquors' in the 9100 block of All Saints Road. As the store was closing, two armed masked suspects entered the store. One of the employees was hit in the head with the handgun of one of the suspects and received minor injuries. The suspects stole money from the register, an additional lock box and fled the scene, police said.
The first suspect is described as a black male, 6', tall, skinny build, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, gloves, white ski mask, black pants and Air Jordan Shoes, displaying a handgun. The second suspect is described as a black male, 5'7", skinny build, wearing a navy blue hoodie, blue jeans and possibly a mask, police said.
