Granny Smith, an action platforming-racer from Mediocre Studios, is getting ready to drop on iOS and Android devices on August 30th. The trailer shows off some pretty cool visuals, with the titular character chasing an apple thief on roller skates. Levels range from rolling farmland to cityscapes, crashing through barns and offices in an attempt to catch the apple thief. Crashes look especially interesting from the trailer, breaking through walls and roofs. Check out the trailer below, and look for our review once the game launches!

I have asked my local bike mechanic about washing my carbon bike with water and he frowned on it. Yet i look at this Park Tool website and they wash their carbon bikes with water. So what is the truth about washing carbon bikes???

What page of the Acme catalog are these carbon frames on?
The shop guy is an idiot for saying that or was having you on. Did you have a silly expression of unplaced trust on your face when you asked? A petunia perched on your bike helmet?
Use whatever you'd use on a nice shiney painted frame and it'll be fine.
Model airplanes are cool too!.....
I don't wash mine. I am afraid it will rust.
I wonder if the mechanic wasn't concerned about the frame but about getting water into the hub, bb and headset bearings. Washing a bike with a hose (or worse yet at a DIY car wash) and directing the spray directly on the bearings can cause early bearing failure.
Use a fine spray and avoid the bearings and you will have no problems.
go for it

Well it all depends on what TYPE of water you're using. If you use ordinary tap water, water suited for the common riff-raff, then don't be surprised if your bike bursts into flames, or at the very least the "Peloton Police" don't arrive and toss you into a dark and musty cell, where you are forced to ride a walmart comfort bike that has been left out in the rain for a year, and all off the maintenance (what little there was) was done by a ham-handed individual who's only tools were a set of vice grips and a ball peen hammer.
Now if you use the factory recommend water, water that is gathered from pure Italian springs, deep in hidden grotto's, by maidens wearing nothing but garments made from gauze obtained from organic cotton, bottled in artisan glass bottles, and each one shipped individually to America with it's own seat on the airplane, then your bike will magically become 2 pounds lighter, your legs will become the envy of all who see them, and all who watch you ride know that they are in the company of a cycling Deity.
As for me, I'd take my chances and do it with a bucket of warm water and some gentle carwash suds, and one of those shaggy stringy type sponge thingies (Official technical name for it)

Why anyone have to WASH it. Can't u just wipe it down? Not like u gotta wipe down a bus.
If u have a dirt-crusted MTB, no opinion.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
then take it home, relube everything ... then take it back out and get it dirty again.
I'm neither a mechanic, nor the son a mechanic, but having torn down bikes and rebuilt bearings since the 80's, I can caution you to avoid high pressure water. If you'll take an air compressor sprayer to your bike after washing it, you'll be amazed at all the water that's sprayed out from every crack and crevice of the components, especially the chain and rear deraileur. Rear derailers, hubs, cassette bodies, headsets, brifters and bottom brackets are very susceptible to water impregnation. I still wash my bikes with water because it works well, but I either blow them out with a compressor afterwards (in the fall and winter) or leave them in direct sunlight for at least an hour in the spring and summer.
Having said that, you will see pro team mechanics using high-pressure to clean their team bikes, but the bikes and components are replaced more often than yours (chains, for instance, are replaced weekly). I don't think there's anything a high pressure sprayer can do that good solvent and a wet sponge can't do.
"I will do today what others will not so that I can do tomorrow what others cannot"

That's why I ride titanium. It doesn't melt or rust with when wet.
However, those same wheels are overhauled at very frequent intervals and even new wheels and/or bearings installed often so long-term bearing health isn't the issue for them it is for those of us paying for components out of out own pockets.

Simon and Garfunkel were a popular music duo comprised of Paul Simon and Arthur 'Art' Garfunkel. Simon and Garfunkel were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s, and are best known for their songs, 'The Sound of Silence', 'Mrs. Robinson' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. They have received several Grammys and are inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1956, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were juniors at Forest Hills High School in New York City who began playing together as a group called Tom and Jerry, with Simon as Jerry Landis and Garfunkel as Tom Graph � so called because he always liked to track 'graph' hits on the pop charts. As seniors in 1957, they started writing their own songs in the Everly Brothers' rock and roll style. They managed to record one of their first songs, Hey, Schoolgirl, for Sid Prosen of Big Records. Released on 45 and 78 rpm records, the single � backed with 'Dancin' Wild' � sold 100,000 copies, hitting #49 on the Billboard charts.

Tori Spelling: Next Dancing With The Stars Competitor?Sunny Chanel
A popular gig for working moms these days? To go on Dancing With The Stars! But unless you are a celebrity, there's no need to apply. Only those with famous faces get the opportunity to Cha Cha, Rhumba and Waltz on this ultra popular television phenomenon.
There are some celebs that would totally seem like a perfect fit for the show. One of the stars on our short list? Tori Spelling! It doesn't take much of an imagination to envision her in one of those ball gowns gliding across the dance floor. At a event in New York City this week Tori was asked if she'd ever go on Dancing with the Stars…she (and Dean) said:
Tori: It would really take me far away from my family, but in theory, yes. I would because I love to dance and I like glittery costumes.
Dean: Tori's a great dancer.
Tori: I tell Dean he should do it because then I can experience from the front row twice a week and I'd take care of the kids and then I'd get the balance.
Dean: You just want to see me wear a dance belt.
Tori: No, I just want to see your hips gyrate—you have great moves.
Who would you rather see on DWTS? Tori or Dean?
Their show premieres tonight @ 10/9 c on Oxygen.

Alabama's chief election official is expecting very low turnout for the runoff election Tuesday.
Secretary of State Beth Chapman is predicting about 9 percent turnout. But she says she wouldn't be surprised if turnout fell below that amount.
Chapman is forecasting low turnout because there are no Democratic runoffs for statewide or congressional offices.
The Republican Party has runoffs for two statewide offices and two congressional offices.
Chapman says the races in the 2nd and 5th Congressional Districts will drive turnout.
Alabama's runoff two years ago had 8.2 percent turnout.

WHEELING - Eight months ago, Bonnie Jeffers was unable to walk without a walker.
On Saturday, Jeffers walked the 5K portion of the Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic, the culmination of her journey to "get her health back."
After undergoing gastric bypass surgery, Jeffers lost 118 pounds. She said she began walking without assistance, and set Saturday's race as a goal.

Bonnie Jeffers of Blaine pauses with a friend before walking the Ogden 5K race Saturday.
"I just wanted to do something for myself, to prove to myself I could do it," she said.
She said a year ago as she struggled with her weight, she could not have imagined participating in a race, let alone a 5K.
"I wouldn't have even thought about something like this," she said.
As she prepared for the start of Saturday's race, she said her participation was proof that her quest to become healthy again was successful.
"I'm so glad I'm able to accomplish this," she said.

A year ago, after fufilling his final goal of winning the Stanley Cup, goaltender Dominik Hasek called it quits, moving his family back to the Czech Republic, far away from the NHL.
Now he may be planning to come back.
Hasek's agent, Rich Winter, confirmed that Hasek has spoken with the Red Wings about making a comeback, but has not made a decision yet.
The Red Wings hold an option on Hasek with $8 million for next season. If Hasek returns and Detroit fails to exercise the option, he will become an unrestricted free agent.
The Web site for Canadian network TSN quoted Winter as saying: "I think he's leaning towards coming back." Winter denied saying that, telling the Detroit Free Press, "The TSN report is inaccurate. There's been some talk, and that's it. We'll see where it goes."
Winter also said that no timetable has been set.
Hasek reportedly laughed off a question about his possible comeback during a teleconference with Buffalo-area reporters earlier this month. Hasek won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player twice while playing for the Buffalo Sabres and the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender six times.
Should Hasek return, the Red Wings will be looking at a very expensive logjam in the crease. After Hasek retired, Detroit signed Curtis Joseph to a three-year, $24 million contract. Two years remain on that deal, which reportedly also includes a no-trade clause.

Chidambaram
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was accused of being "more dangerous" than a corrupt person by expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny, who decided to withdraw support to the Delhi government today.
"Today I am writing to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung apprising him of my decision to withdraw support to Kejriwal government.
Arvind Kejriwal is more dangerous than a corrupt person. He is telling lies and deceiving not only citizens of Delhi, but also people of the entire country," he said.
Binny, however, said he would support the government on the matter of Jan Lokpal Bill.
"If they government brings Anna's (Hazare) Janlokpal Bill in the assembly for its passage, I will support them," said Binny.
Binny, who has been shown the door for "indiscipline" by AAP, has put forth a series of demands before Delhi Government which include fulfilment of promises made by the party before the Assembly polls.
Claiming support of at least five legislators, Binny had on Sunday threatened to pull down the government if his demands were not met within 48 hours.
He had asked the government to sort out issues related to power and water sector. He demanded that government should give subsidy on 8 per cent increase in power surcharge. The DERC has increased the power surcharge ranging from 6 to 8 per cent this month.
He had also said that "The government should make women squads as promised to prioritise security of women. Instead of charging people for entire 700 litres of water after exceeding the limit, the government should charge only for water consumed over 700 litres. Binny had also said that he would also form a political front with two other AAP MLAs, who were in touch with him, along with municipal councillors.
However, the two MLAs Iqbal and Shokeen did a U-turn and said they would not go ahead with their threat.
The two legislators had said they changed their mind after a meeting with Arvind Kejriwal and claimed that Binny had also agreed not to withdraw support to AAP government.

Pat Jones not the only one who confronted me in Atlanta
Lest I be thought to be making too much of Pat Jones' confrontations of your editor during my trip to Atlanta I 'fess up to another confrontation quite unrelated to IBTTA.
It was around 3am Monday morning at an Econolodge where I was staying near the Atlanta Airport.
A very deliberate rapping at the door woke me from a deep sleep.
I staggered to my feet, flung open the door, saying sleepily "Whadda-Ya-Want?"
It was a security guard, a big black uniformed guy.
"Sir, you curtain is open," he said.
"Yes," I said. "I like to wake with the sun, so sure, I leave my curtain open. What's the problem?"
Guard: "The problem, Sir, is that other guests walk past your window."
"Ok," I said, "And what's the problem with that?"
Guard: "Sir, you are naked."
I looked down at myself.
Unlike Pat Jones, he was right.
And I had to concede: a pretty sight, it was not, for any passers-by.
Curtain closed - editor.

At 2 p.m. Monday, 67 members of the high school's band marched just over a mile through Washington, D.C., down Constitution Avenue and past the White House, in the National Memorial Day Parade. It's a huge honor, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, said band director John Fulton.
"This is the biggest trip East Lake has ever taken. Apart from a few trips to Atlanta for a competition, this is probably the farthest they've ever traveled," Fulton said. "It's incredibly exciting, a bit nerve-racking, but these guys are truly family. They really have each others' back and care about each other, so nerves aren't really an issue. I'm incredibly proud."
The band received an invitation to apply for the parade in January after receiving straight Superior Ratings at a marching competition, and were accepted earlier this month after submitting letters of recommendation and video of their performances. Then it was up to the band to pick a song and get to work, with weeks of extra practices and fundraising for the $800-a-person trip.
Their selection: Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and a drum cadence.
"I'm a tad apprehensive, but we've prepared a lot for this and it's going to be a blast," said 18-year-old senior Harrison McNulty, the band's drum captain. "This is the first parade we've done for years, and even that one we just went across town in a stinky little Christmas parade. I knew our band was going to go on to do great things, but it's still setting in that I'm around to be a part of it."
The National Memorial Day Parade, organized by the American Veterans Center, is the largest Memorial Day event in the nation, featuring celebrities, floats, bands and veterans. The performance was broadcast live to troops around the world, and at home.
The band toured the White House and watched a performance by the United States Marine Corp Band. Then there was a17-hour bus ride home for finals and graduation, said 18-year-old senior Kelli Yeazell, a saxophonist and the band's drum major.

According to the site this is the first bicycle to be designed from the seat out.
What have we been riding?
What's with the raised part in the middle of the saddle? It looks a bit on the kinky side to me!
Designed from the seat out? Funny!
LMFAO Like a "gouche stimulator" maybeOriginally Posted by BlazingPedals
I actually tried this thing at Interbike. It was simply awful. There were a few designs at the show where I asked myself why anyone would actually think it was a good idea. This bike was just about the worst of every possible combination. The people selling them designed the seat first, but it wouldn't work with a conventional bike so they designed a bike for the seat. You can't sit on it; you lean back on it. It is really horrid.
looking at the bike on their website - it looks like a real dog
Forewarned is forearmed. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Seems a bit expensive to me. I bought a Raliegh Gurv '06, crank forward type bike; basic model 8 speed for $249.00 end of year sale. I'm still mainly into road bikes, have three (thinking next might be a bent) but this one is a blast to ride; it's just so different in a good way. A fun happy sort of ride. lol...
The thing I saw about a couple other "crank-forward" bikes is that they are crank-forward, but they are not "crank-forward enough". -And most still use a regular bicycle saddle, which is a big part of their discomfort problem.
Try one of the Rans bikes if you get the chance. I got a Fusion and it is not as comfortable as my LWB, but it is much more comfortable to ride than a normal upright, and it still rides like an upright. Unlike a recumbent it is easy to ride, people who have only rode "regular" bikes can sit on it and ride around right away. I don't know how fast I could average on it, but I could definitely see riding it long distances (30-50 mile rides wouldn't be too bad).
Most of the crank forwards I've checked out use lower-end componentry than even their hybrid counterparts Few are building "serious" crank-forward, RANS being the primary exception.
Now this may reflect their market, as many crank-forward buyers seem to be looking for a very comfortable bike for short trips around neighborhoods or bike paths.
I also believe that the frame cost is higher, due to the production numbers not being very high yet.
For example, we all know Cannondale builds some very good quality bikes. However the $600 crank-forward Daytripper uses a SRAM SX4 rear derailleur and a common SRAM PG-730 7-speed cassette. Fairly low-end gear at that price range.
Likewise the Giant Suede and Trek Pure Sport use SRAM 3.0 rear derailleurs. And the Giant uses a lightly-regarded Suntour fork.
By comparison a Fuji Crosstown 1.0 hybrid, list $560, uses Shimano Deore front & rear derailleurs, Alex wheels, RST fork, SRAM PG-950 cassette, etc... So one downgrades components almost across the board and still pay $40 more to go from this Fuji to a Cannondale crank-forward.
Nearly all of the crank-forwards use ballon tires too, usually ranging from 1.90" to 2.125"
These bikes probably provide what a lot of people need, but where hybrids & road bikes offer nice steps up the quality ladder, that is still a missing piece on most crank-forward lines.
RANS aims their line at both comfort riders and those wanting more performance out of a crank-forward. The prices on many of their designs are substantially higher too.

Blazing Pedals ... Possibly beyond your grasp, but the raised central ridge fits between the buttocks and holds the rider centrally, removing lateral hip movement (the cause of pelvic float and lower back strain) and there is no bodily contact with the rear half of the pelvic floor (get someone to explain that)
Katysax ... you obviously have much greater insight and vision than the three major brand marketers who have made approaches to produce this bike under their brands, the CEO of the world's number three manufacturer
who is seeking to produce it and a large number of IBD's who have stated this bike is something their customers have been requesting for a long time.
Ah... sad that these people don't have your vision and openness on new design to stop them going in them wrong direction.
What is beyond my grasp is the insightful and visionary drum brakes.Originally Posted by stylyx
Drum Brakes???
And don't mess with Blazing Pedals; he's logged more miles already than the entire "fleet" of stylyx bikes will.
just a sig test !
I wonder what the weight distribution is on that thing? With the saddle right over the rear wheel and the rider sitting upright, it has to be heavily rear-biased, like maybe 80/20% ?

May 8, 2000
Pullman, Wash.--- The Washington State women's golf team will make their first post-season appearance since the program began in 1983 when they tee off Thursday at the NCAA West Regional in Tempe, Ariz.
It was supposed to be a long rebuilding process when head coach Walt Williams took over the reins in 1998. Qualifying for the preliminaries to the NCAA Championships is a huge step for the program.
"It is very exciting to know we are heading in the right direction," Williams said. "When I came here, I thought it would take three years to get to postseason. To do it a year in advance is rewarding."
The Cougars were the last team from their district to be selected for the West Regional and will join the other nine Pac-10 squads plus Pepperdine, San Jose State, and Brigham Young to make up the 13 teams representing the Far West. 11 teams from the West District will also be competing.
Although the Cougars are seeded 13th, WSU has recorded some success this season against other schools in the field.
"We beat Washington, Oregon, Texas Tech and Oklahoma this year, and they are all ranked (in the top 36)," Williams said. "We are seeded 13th out of the Far West out of 13 teams, so we have to be realistic about our chances. I don't want to be bold in predictions, but if we play well, we can finish ahead of several teams."
WSU will stay with the lineup they have used all season of senior Jenny Ballou (Portland, Ore.), junior Jennifer Dodd (Portland, Ore.), sophomore Tasha Browner (Tarzana, Calif.), and freshmen Donna Bell (Prince George, BC), and Shanelle Roberts (Tacoma, Wash.).
The tournament is being played May 11-13 at the par-72, 6,131-yard Karsten Golf Course on the campus of Arizona State University. Last year's event was won by USC, while Arizona's Jenna Daniels will return as the individual medalist from one season ago. 18 holes will be played each day, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
Eleven teams and three individuals will qualify for the NCAA Championships. Two additional berths will be allocated to the region with the most teams ranked in the top 24. The NCAA Championships will be held at the Crosswater Golf Course in Sunriver, Ore., May 24-27 and will be hosted by Oregon State University. ---more---
WSU LINEUP: The NCAA West Regional will mark the 40th career event for senior Jenny Ballou (Portland, Ore.). She heads to Tempe with a 78.5 season scoring average and six top-25 performances... Freshman Donna Bell (Prince George, BC) enters the event with an 82.6 average but has two top-five appearances this spring... Sophomore Tasha Browner (Tarzana, Calif.) has been a model of consistency all season for the Cougars. She had five top-25 showings, including a 15th place finish at the Utah Dixie Classic where she fired a second round 72 and third round 74... Junior Jennifer Dodd (Portland, Ore.) is coming off the two best performances of her career. She beat six players ranked in the top-50 in the nation at the Peg Barnard Collegiate, finishing fourth, and followed that up by placing 10th at the conference championship. The All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention selection leads WSU with a 76.7 average... Freshman Shanelle Roberts has an 81.03 average entering the West Regional. Her best performance of the year came at the Oregon Invitational where she placed ninth and carded a first round 76.
THE FIELD: Twenty-four teams and six individuals from the West and Far West districts have qualified for the 2000 NCAA West Regional. All 24 teams are ranked in the top 50 in the latest MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings. The field includes seven of the top 10 teams in the nation, including number one Arizona.
(School - National Ranking)
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: Led by Dodd and Browner, who each fired 74s, and Ballou, who shot a 76, Washington State broke the school record for 18 holes by carding a third round 303 at the Stanford Women's Intercollegiate in October. That record fell again in the second event of the spring when Ballou, Bell, Browner and Dodd combined for a 300 at the Pioneer/Bruin Classic. In the same event, the school record for 54 holes was also bettered by seven strokes as the Cougar's five players combined for a 912. The record had been set in the fall at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic.
DODD FINISHES STRONG: The Peg Barnard Collegiate and Pac-10 Championship were breakthrough performances for Dodd. The Portland native battled the nation's best in back-to-back weeks, placing fourth with a four-over par 148 at the Stanford-hosted tournament and 10th with a 224 at the conference championship. Dodd was rewarded by being named to the All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention team.


text: Andrelton Simmons homered to back seven solid innings from Mike Minor, as the Braves beat the Cardinals 5-2 to avoid a four-game sweep at Busch Stadium. Matt Holliday and Allen Craig plated a run each for the Redbirds, who had won their previous four. Lance Lynn allowed four runs and nine hits in seven frames as he fell to 13-and-8 with his third straight loss.

How to Know if Someone Has Been Looking Through Your Room/Stuff
Two Methods:Putting a Door AlarmProtecting Your BooksCommunity Q&A
No matter how secret you can become as a spy, you can still be discovered by some people. And they may try to find out more about you, which is why you can expect someone to sneak into your room and look through your stuff pretty much whenever you go. However, the most important thing to know is when they did and what they found.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
Method 1
Putting a Door Alarm
1Rather than having to buy a door alarm from a store, you can just make your own alarm. All you need is a toothpick.
2First, break the toothpick in half. Then, take one half and then keep it with you, while the other half stays on the door. Then, slowly close the door, remembering the exact spot where you put the toothpick.
3When someone opens the door, the toothpick will fall out, and hopefully you would have kept it in such a location that it would not be noticeable. And even if they do notice, they would not be able to stick the toothpick a second time, plus even if they put another toothpick on your door, you can check to see if the toothpick was properly put on it.
4This trick can also be used with a pencil.
Method 2
Protecting Your Books
1In order to protect your books, you can put a fake wall by putting paper and painting it in your wall.
2To know if someone has been looking through your books, put something small on a specific page of your book, and then if it is not there, then someone has been looking through your stuff. (You must place it in such away that it fall out when the book moves. Even if the person notices that you put something there, he/she will not be able to put it back so easily.
Finding out What they Found By Dusting For Fingerprints
1Dusting for fingerprints is a great way that you could find out what they touched. You do not need real dust either!
2Get a bag of flour. Then, spread the flour all over the stuff, and then blow. You will automatically see any fingerprints that somebody may have left there.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Do not tell anyone about the security features. And do not underestimate their intelligence, they could outsmart your techniques.
- If you really want to protect your belongings, then on your books, write down a completely fake message, saying, "Hey you! Yeah, you! I can see you looking at my book right now. It may not be obvious, but I have put hidden cameras all over my bedroom, so you WILL be found out."
- Write all your info in code, and throw the cipher away.
- Then, they will waste their whole time looking for cameras, and all of your top secret info will be safe. However, it may backfire, as they may be try to tear your whole room apart just to find something that is not really there.
- Being exposed as a spy can be quite dangerous, so do make sure that all your spy stuff are intruder-proofed.

Has anyone else had a problem with Huggies Little Snugglers NB diapers leaking?
My son is 11 days old and we've tried everything with these diapers...weiner up, weiner down and he just leaks out the top or out the bottom. We got them as a gift, so we wanted to try to use them, but I don't think we can anymore.
We went to the store yesterday to get Pampers Swaddlers (seemed to work much better with leaking...they didn't...) and they were all out. So, we resorted to buying the Huggies Little Snugglers...but I may just be taking them back because I'm doing ten times as much laundry since he's peeing on EVERYTHING!
Oh, and we don't wait long to change him...probably every couple hours or so...if that long. So, it's not like we're leaving him in his diaper for hours on end without changing it.

I have, naturally, been thinking of Irving Kristol today.
Other pens – or keyboards – will have much to say of
I am remembering today, on this of all days,
As a man – indeed, as a mensch – and as an intellectual, Irving Kristol was one of those who could truly be self-sufficing, in that curiously American fashion so well expressed by Walt Whitman: I am large, I contain multitudes. His conscience being pure, he had not, I make certain, 'bad dreams' that had prevented his being a king of infinite space had he ever been bounded in a nutshell; and to borrow from a tradition that was not his, that of vernacular English Catholicism of the pre-Reformation period, any such nutshell in which Irving had found himself were that 'Litle thing, the quantitie of a Hasel-Nut', that is 'alle that ys made': the created universe.
It is curious, really, when one thinks of it, to realise how often this is true, and how often this is not, of great men. Take Pat Buckley, God rest her: she was a wit in any salon, but she knew better than to set up as a WFB's literary partner or colleague. How different that dynamic was to those represented by Midge Decter and Norman Podhoretz, Rose Director Friedman and Milton Friedman, and of course Irving and Bea – for, as public persons, they were, after all, Irving-Kristol-and-Gertrude-Himmelfarb, a university in themselves.
The loss, then, of Irving Kristol is not a loss to those who love liberty only, or those who revere intellectual honesty alone, or those only who admire honourable debate, so rare in these thin and piping times. Irving's death is a loss to his immediate family, and then to a vast family of protégés and those whom he mentored, to his Republic, and to all free men and women, all at once.
And I hope it is not impertinent of this obscure, C of E, rural conservative to say to all of these who are the global family now bereft of Irving Kristol,
Ha-Makom yenahem etkhem b'tokh sh'ar aveilei Tzion vYerushalayim.

FIBA: Gorgui Dieng: "I want to help bring Senegal back among the most competitive teams on the continent. My goal is to help the team win the next continental competition. We have a great group of players and we know that it won't be easy, but the goal this summer is to win the #AfroBasket2015 and qualify for #Rio2016."
Senegal Rumors
In the weeks that followed, Hill said, Ferry met with faculty members at Spelman College and Morehouse College, two historically black universities in Atlanta. In December, Ferry and his oldest daughter, Hannah, traveled to Senegal, where they were accompanied by Amadou Gallo Fall, an executive with N.B.A. Africa, Hall said. Ferry was also a regular at high school and college basketball games over the winter. Last month, after watching one of his daughters swim at a meet in Orlando, Fla., he drove to Jacksonville to join Walton, the Harvard professor, for the Crimson's first-round game in the N.C.A.A. tournament. "I've been trying to encourage him and tell him, 'If you come back from this' — and I definitely think he should — 'you have the opportunity to be a leader, to both lead by example and to take this conversation where it needs to go,' " said Walton, who grew up in Atlanta and attended Morehouse.
The round of 16 will start on Saturday. Madrid Side: Spain-Senegal / Croatia-France / Greece-Serbia / Brazil-Argentina
After the end of the group stages, eight teams will go home and 16 (Spain, Brazil, France, Serbia, Greece, Argentina, Croatia, Senegal, USA, Turkey, Dominican R., New Zealand, Slovenia, Australia, Lithuania, Mexico) will continue to fight for the World Cup title! The half of the teams that qualified to the round of "16" are from Europe! Saturday 6th September Madrid Spain-Senegal Α3-B2 Barcelona C3-D2 USA-Mexico
Emiliano Carchia: Minnesota Timberwolves player Gorgui Dieng is in Senegal NT preliminary squad for @FIBA World Cup
Dieng, who was named the NBA's Western Conference Rookie of the Month for March, is now hoping that Senegal's national team coach feels the same. "I'm really excited about that. I spoke to the coach (Cheikh Sarr) today," Dieng said in Charlotte. "He's here in the States looking at the college kids and stuff." One of these players may have been Adama "Louis" Adams, a South Carolina State senior point guard from Senegal's AfroBasket team last summer.
Dieng, who was prepping for his first NBA season, was not on that side but he definitely wants to wear the green of Senegal at the FIBA Basketball World Cup this summer in Spain. "I'm very excited to go back and play for my national team, to play for my country." […]It's clear that representing Senegal is his next priority. "I'm looking forward to going back and fight for my country. Whatever it takes. If they need me to score, I can score. If they need me to protect the rim, I can do. It's not me to decide what I want to do. It's how the coach wants to use me. I will do whatever the coach wants (me to do).

Rather than plow more dollars into interactive voice-response technology and bury workers under an avalanche of literature, the Houston-based company—the world's largest PC manufacturer with $18.1 billion in 1996 sales—opted to go interactive. Using 30 computerized kiosks to display information directly from 401(k) provider The Vanguard Group, employees could suddenly check their balances, view investment options and study how various contribution levels could affect their paychecks—and retirement savings.
The extranet system, which uses Compaq's intranet to display information, actually obtains real-time data from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based Vanguard via a secure Internet connection. Quite simply, Compaq and Vanguard maintain a computer link that allows data to flow back and forth. In this case, the extranet almost immediately boosted participation from 78 percent to 82 percent of eligible employees. As Ron Eller, Compaq's vice president of compensation, benefits and HR systems puts it: "It's a very powerful motivator. It's providing interactive capabilities that have never before been available to employees."
Welcome to the latest wrinkle in the ongoing evolution of Internet technology. In the beginning, companies created Web sites for the outside world—to advertise their products, post job openings and more. Then, about two years ago, a handful of companies began using intranets to create powerful internal networks that allow the exchange of data, including information traditionally contained in employee handbooks, paper-based directories and newsletters. As of a September 1996 study conducted by San Francisco-based market research company Hambrecht & Quist, 90 percent of Fortune 200 corporations surveyed were deploying intranets. And now, some companies are realizing that productivity gains and cost savings don't have to stop there. "Exchanging data and conducting commerce between companies is a natural extension of the technology," says Barry Hall, a principal in the San Francisco office of management consultant firm Coopers and Lybrand LLP.
Already, there's no shortage of extranet applications in the human resources arena. Companies are allowing employees to select doctors and dentists directly from an HMO. They're providing dependent care and referral services online. They're equipping employees with access to government regulations. And, as in the case of Compaq, they're allowing employees to directly manage their retirement accounts. In almost every instance, extranets are cutting out mindless administrative tasks and allowing those actually involved in a transaction to do business directly. "It cuts out the middleman," says Hall.
An extranet also doesn't require a great deal of money and resources to launch. "Once a company has an intranet in place, the cost of adding extranet capabilities is minimal, but the benefits can be substantial," observes Wayne J. Randolph, an HR consultant with management consultant firm KPMG Peat Marwick in New York City. In fact, he points out that many insurance providers, HMOs, referral services and others are willing to design a private Web site and offer a near-turnkey solution simply because it slashes costs and works on their end too. "They can cut their basic support costs—telephone calls, brochures, directories, statements and other materials—enormously by making it all available electronically," he says.
A Web well-traveled.
The idea of linking business and handling transactions electronically is nothing new. For more than two decades, companies have been able to exchange data—though the complexities of such systems precluded all but the most technologically sophisticated firms from using them. The Internet and Web technology changed all of that. By putting a browser on every PC, establishing a TCP/IP network and creating software standards, it suddenly was possible to view and exchange data across geographic distances and across operating systems. No longer did it matter whether a person was using a Macintosh or a PC or a UNIX-based system.
Early on, companies such as Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola Corp. and Mountain View, California-based Sun Microsystems realized they could use a TCP/IP network to run a private Web site, or intranet. Using security firewalls and passwords, it was possible to limit access to authorized individuals and conduct business internally. That capability has provided enormous benefits for many departments, including human resources. In fact, much of the recent reengineering and cost savings rippling through the corporate world can be directly attributed to more efficient use of technology, particularly intranets.
Yet no organization is an island unto itself. Interconnecting networks and conducting electronic commerce with vendors and clients holds particular allure. Why have an HMO print a booklet listing doctors and dentists when the same information can be made available online? As quickly as the ink dries on the paper, the booklet is obsolete. In most cases, there's no easy way to scan through all the listings to quickly locate, for example, a pediatrician in the local community. And once an individual has spotted a health-care provider, there are usually forms to fill out and stamps to lick. Alas, using traditional methods, there's an endless pile of paperwork sloshing back and forth between the HMO and the HR department-along with endless record updates. "It's a process that takes a lot of time and effort for everyone involved," says Randolph.
Extranets change all of that. The same process when executed online creates efficiencies that would have seemed inconceivable just a couple of years ago. At Oracle Corp. in Redwood City, California, employees can log onto the company's intranet from a PC or kiosk, click a hyperlink to insurer Aetna Inc. of Hartford, Connecticut, and search for a physician or dentist. After making a selection, databases at both Aetna and Oracle instantly are updated. Nobody touches any paper or submits any forms, and there's no delay or confusion if an employee makes a change. What's more, the extranet provides up-to-date information about various plans and offers in-depth information about benefits.
When Oracle developed its intranet in 1995, the emphasis was clearly on HR automation. The company needed to conduct open enrollment for more than 8,500 employees in only three weeks and couldn't afford to become buried under an avalanche of paper and phone calls. By creating online forms with hyperlinks to guide employees through the selection process, the software giant has succeeded in cutting costs, creating a more strategic HR department and providing better service to employees.
Open enrollment and benefits sign-ups were natural reasons to link a company's intranet with a vendor's intranet. Such extranets represent an opportunity to link to all sorts of outside organizations and vendors. And, almost without exception, the capabilities of the online world far exceed traditional methods, such as paper and interactive voice response (IVR). "It can't always replace the telephone and IVR, but it can almost always complement and enhance it," observes Mark Willaman, director of sales and marketing for Dependent Care Corp. (DCC), a Westport, Connecticut, firm that provides referrals and dependent-care counseling to hundreds of major companies.
Earlier this year, DCC began offering its services through a secure, password-protected Web site. After an HR department provides a hyperlink to DCC's server, all employees can click into a multitude of services, including lists of approved day-care facilities, summer camps, elder-care programs, work/family counseling and more. It's possible to scan reference materials or search for an adoption agency, a prenatal support group or a dance program for a small child, for example. It's simple to search by zip code, city, state and other criteria to obtain a list online. It's also a breeze to obtain detailed information from a DCC counselor, who can send out a package with contact information, fees, licensing and hours of operation.
TRW Space and Electronics Group is one of the companies that has embraced DCC's extranet capacity. Its 10,000 employees can go online and almost instantly find information that's pertinent to them. "The information is current; it's easy to access and provides a higher level of service for employees," explains Mary Lackides, manager of health services for the Redondo Beach, California, aerospace giant. She notes that it's saving the company administrative costs and helping drive improvements in HR. Already, 50 percent of the workforce is using DCC's extranet, eliminating a steady stream of phone calls for both HR and DCC.
In fact, because an extranet can slash costs and eliminate transactions for the vendor—an HMO, 401(k) administrator or other service—many of these firms are willing to do all the necessary Web authoring and back-end programming to make such a project a success. Says Randolph: "For most HR departments, the cost of creating an extranet is minimal. The basic maintenance costs involved aren't significant when compared to the payoff. Once you've spent the money and time to build an intranet—along with the necessary security—it's relatively simple to link to an outside company."
Extranets take self-service to a higher plane.
For workers who venture online, the bottom line is finding the exact information they need without any muss or fuss. As Randolph puts it: "Employees don't care whether they're accessing the Internet, an intranet or an extranet. If the overall system is well-designed, they'll use it because it makes their lives easier and provides value. You can do things online that aren't possible with paper or a telephone."
Compaq has learned over the last couple of years just how true that statement is. Today, employees can view charts and graphs showing how their 401(k) savings will build over 10 years or 20 years. They can check out their fund allocations and the past performance of funds, learn about investment options and view their mutual fund portfolio in real time. Compaq currently is adding the capability to conduct online transactions—including reallocating funds. In the past, it has used an IVR system to achieve the same results. "An extranet puts data ownership where it belongs," says Eller. "The employees make their own decisions and the database owner handles all the transactions." In the end, Compaq is finding that employees are more likely to save for, and are more knowledgeable about, their retirement. In fact, the extranet is helping push participation and payroll deductions to record levels.
Although extranets currently are in their infancy, KPMG's Randolph believes they fit into most companies' technology plans for the coming two to four years. But it's necessary to walk before you can run. "Without a solid intranet, you can't have a usable extranet," he says. "Right now, the biggest benefits to HR come from placing employee handbooks and directories online, and eliminating paperwork within the company. But as organizations become more sophisticated, they quickly recognize what lies beyond with extranets." Coopers and Lybrand's Hall, who has seen organizations immediately cut as much as $70,000 or more simply by eliminating the need to print booklets of health-care providers and other resources, believes the adoption curve will soon shoot upward. "An extranet benefits everyone. You have immediate cost savings and you provide value to the employee," he says.
Indeed, organizations are beginning to find a wealth of new uses for extranets. A few executive search firms and employment agencies are allowing clients to tap into their private Web sites to search for prospects; companies that specialize in tracking government regulations and legal precedents are putting that data online; and a handful of organizations are posting best practices data. One of them is VHA Inc. of Irving, Texas—a firm that manages 1,400 health-care organizations throughout the United States. It allows hospitals and doctors to share best practices data by tapping into a central repository of information. In the past, institutions faxed information to each another, and there was no guarantee that the right person would see it, or even know it existed before it became completely obsolete. "It has changed the way information is shared," says Mike Cummins, vice president of management information services at VHA.
Many, including Randolph, believe all this is just the beginning. As enterprises become more sophisticated in the use of technology and HR departments become better at knowing how to use it, dozens of new uses for extranets are likely to appear. And as security concerns evaporate with more sophisticated firewalls and encryption schemes, companies are becoming more comfortable with the idea of sharing data online. Says Randolph: "It's a classic case of, 'If you build it, they will come.' When there's a technological infrastructure, the content follows." And when it comes to extranets, there's really very little to cost-justify—as long as a company has an effective intranet already in place. And if a company doesn't have an intranet, it might be the perfect time to set one up.

It's Never Too Late to Begin . . .
Maybe you have always wanted to learn more about your family's history. Maybe you've wished someone in your family would search out your roots. Or perhaps you've been reading this column for a few years and would like to try it yourself.
The beginning of a new year is always a good time to begin a new project. In the case of ancestry research, the facts are just waiting to for someone who wants to discover them. Getting started requires only a pencil and some paper. The first step is to complete a pedigree chart, also called an ancestry chart, available online at several sites.
Kimberly Powell's About.com Genealogy page has a Free Interactive Pedigree Chart you can fill in on your computer, download and/or print. She also provides a number of links to articles and videos with more information and answers to questions about the charts and subsequent research.
At byub.org you will also find a blank pedigree chart in .pdf format on which you can type information and save the chart on your computer. When one chart is complete and saved, you can begin another. The charts are easily printed and ready to go on a research trip. Ancestry.com also has a number of blank charts to help you begin. Download the blank pedigree chart at http://c.mfcreative.com/pdf/trees/charts/anchart.pdf.
To complete a chart begin with you as person number one on the left side of the page entering your name, birth date and place, and marriage date and place. Enter your spouse's name and birth data on the line below. In the second column of blank spaces enter birth, marriage and death information, if applicable, for your parents; third column your grandparents and fourth column your great grandparents. If you don't have all the required data, ask your parents, siblings, or other relatives for assistance.
This chart is the basis for your family and the foundation on which you begin to do research. After filling in the data on this first chart, you may begin a new chart starting with one of your eight great grandparents in the number one position, if you have data about that generation.
Next purchase a good book, such as The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy, 1990 edition by Val Greenwood available via www.bookfinder.com for as little as $4 plus shipping. Read and reread this book and you will learn all you need to know. Another good book despite the corny title is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy, 2nd Edition by Christine Rose.
Now you are ready to join Ancestry.com and start looking for your family in online records such as the U.S. Census. Ancestry's online family trees are accessible without paying for a membership, but remember online family trees may contain inaccuracies and the information needs to be verified.
Another resource to consider is the Family History Center in Sahuarita. Volunteers there will be glad to help you get started. It's located at 17800 S. Camino de las Quintas, one block east of La Cañada. When you see the Animax Park sign, turn right at the next street, W. Calle de Cobre. At the end of the street to the right you will see the Family History Center. Hours are normally Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. You may call 399-1077 to verify hours.
In the past eight years, I have written many columns about the research process. All columns are archived at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azgvgs/gvnews.htm. The earlier columns, particularly those published in 2005 and 2006 are full of useful "how to" tips for learning to do genealogy. Happy New Year and may all your family research be fruitful in 2014.

Resolved Question:
I have pigmentary Glacoma for many years now. I am 37 years old and i was diagnosed about 7 years ago. On diagnosis i had already lost some field vision in my right eye. I take timolol in both eyes twice a day and xalatan in my right eye in the evenings. About 6 years ago i was cycling to and from work about 7 miles per day when i noticed a lot of fogginess in my right eye during and after riding, also i would experience the fogginess when waking up in the mornings. I went to the eye hospital and my pressure had risen in my right eye to 28. The doctor was quite surprised this had happened and told me cycling is usually okay. They gave me lazer treatment in the eye to improve the drainage. This sorted out the problem. Since then i haven't really done much excessive exercise until recently . As i suffer from headaches a lot, regular cycling really helps to relieve my symptoms and acts as preventative measure. I understand activities like jogging and high impact sports aren't very good for me. I love cycling though and it isn't high impact. I really want to get into a regular cycling routine again but i am a little nervous. I got into swimming a while ago and sometimes after a good swim I would get a little cloudiness in my right eye but not to the same degree i had before my lazer treatment. Sometimes my right eye would feel a little gritty for a very short time after swimming but when i went to the hospital a couple of weeks later my pressures were fine in both eyes and the doctor told me he didn't think i need to worry so much and it should be okay to carry on with my swimming. The doctor could see i was worried about exercising and gave me some tablets to ease my fears to take straight after after exercise called Diomox (Acetazolamide). I tried taking them a few times but they just make me feel drowsy and i prefer not taking any tablets if possible. I have heard of taking pilocarpine eye drops before exercise. Can i get these prescribed by my doctor? Is it okay and is it normal after exercise to experience a little fogginess now and again for a minute of two? Please be so kind to give me your thoughts on these matters?

Dr. Rick :
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
Dr. Rick :
The laser surgery your doctor did in the past might have been either a laser peripheral iridotomy or, perhaps, argon laser trabeculoplasty. Both of these are known to work will with pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma.
Dr. Rick :
In my opinion, you can ride your bike to exercise without much risk.
Dr. Rick :
Since you do not like the side effects of oral diamox you could use a drop called Azop. This drop contains a medication in the same class as diamox and should help prevent or dull any pressure spikes you may get secondary to the pigment dispersion that might occur with exercise.
Dr. Rick :
I think you will tolerate the azopt better than pilocarpine....
Dr. Rick :
Pilocarpine not only makes your pupil really small, but it can cause brow/headache as well.
should i ask my doctor for the azop?
i prefer drops with the least side effects if possible
what about the little bit of cloudiness every now and again?
is this anything to worry about or just normal?
Dr. Rick :
Yes. Your ophthalmologist could prescribe azopt for you. He might even have free samples you can try.
Is it okay like to cycle for 4 hours. a really good session?
Dr. Rick :
The little bit of cloudiness could be from many issues. As long as your optic nerve does not show any progression of glaucomatous damage and your visual fields are unchanged along with your nerve fiber layer, I think you will be ok.
Dr. Rick :
Of course, one thing that you have to think is that the cloudiness is secondary to elevated IOP...but, from what you have posted, I think you are OK
ok great thanks for your help today. brilliant
Dr. Rick :
Try it.....if you have problems, see if you can get your IOP checked when you are having symptoms and/or right after you get off the bike from a good ride (this can be easily done with a tonopen)
Dr. Rick :
My pleasure. I wish you the very best. Enjoy the summer :)
Dr. Rick :
I hope this information was helpful for you. But I do work for tips so I want to make sure you are happy with me before rating me. If you have another question on this or a related issue feel free to fire away. You may also receive an email survey after our chat, if you don't feel that I have earned a "10" rating in all areas, please let me know what I can do to meet your expectations.Thanks in advance,Dr. Rick MD FACS
Dr. Rick :
Ya...it looks like a pen but costs $3,000
haha i need to save up for that!
Dr. Rick :
It is a very accurate way of checking eye presssure without the blue light and drops
i will try my opticians
Dr. Rick :
But your eye doc's nurse could check your pressure in the waiting room with it.
ok thanks
Dr. Rick :
I think they have them in the UK....I have 4 in my office here in the USA :)
Dr. Rick :
My pleasure. Always happy to help a friend from across the Atlantic Ocean.
cheers XXXXX XXXXX a good day!

Hello everyone,
I'm currently constructing a site for a piano method that has licensed teachers that teach all over the world. The site is built as a membership site and teachers log in to order materials, pay fees and interact with other teachers. One other function that I would like to have is to allow teachers to "register" their students. This isn't the same as registering them onto the site. Rather, I would like teachers to be able to input information about their students (name, address, date lessons started, etc.) into a location that allows for them, and the company, to access the records and edit them. Exporting the records would also be a nice function.
Does anyone have any ideas of what plugins I could possibly use to get this done?
Thanks in advance.

February is all about coming home to your higher self, Scorpio. If you've recently lost yourself to worldly passions, this is the time to finally rein it in and turn your attention inward as the planets convene at the base of your horoscope. But not to worry, this doesn't mean you have to become a recluse by any means. Your career will keep you plenty busy and popular especially close to the Full Moon, which happens to fall on Valentine's Day. You may be celebrating a promotion or new project near the weekend of the 14th.
On a separate note, communication can get a bit twisted after the 6th when Mercury goes out of phase. You may experience the strongest misunderstandings with your beloved during the first week, until Mercury moves back into your home zone. Then it's all about your domestic scene until the retrograde ends on the 28th. This is a good month to rework and repair any old issues with family or lovers. The Sun will illuminate your love and creativity zone starting the 18th, initiating a new cycle of increased pleasure and romance. It'll be worth waiting for.

Thank you for your reply. I do understand the discrimination laws in my state. To be more specific, I work for a Japanese American Insurance Agent. The owner is Japanese American (only speaks English) and the other two co-workers are Japanese Nationals (with Green cards) that are bi-lingual/fluent in both Japanese and English. I am caucasian and do not speak Japanese. I worked there for over 21 years, the full-time worker 20 years and the other part-time worker 5 or 6 years. Also, while my hours and days have been cut back, the other part-time worker was given the opportunity to increase her hours by given an extra work load in which I am more than qualified to do.
I can understand where I feel discriminated, however, I am curious about the legality of benefits for all employees.
I guess my specific question is this: Can my employer pick and choose who he can give benefits to and who he doesn't? That is, putting aside racial discrimination, can my boss legally give benefits to one employee and not the other? Or can you tell me where I can find out this information? Thanks!

Selling off its professional employer organization makes sense for Kelly Services because the company's strength lies in staffing and not the other HR work associated with PEOs, he says.
Professional employer organizations, which traditionally cater to companies with fewer than 100 employees, enter into "co-employment agreements" with their employer clients. They then act as the employer of record and handle all human resources issues and processes.
A few companies got into the professional employer organization business because they equated staff leasing with being a PEO, but they really aren't the same thing, says Lisa Rowan, an analyst at IDC.
"It's not surprising to see a staffing-related company get out of the business," she says.
Oasis has focused on growing organically but is looking at making strategic acquisitions, particularly in parts of the country where it doesn't have a major presence, Perlberg says. He declined to elaborate.
But Oasis may have some competition as it looks to acquire other professional employer organizations, says Carrie Aaron, owner and president of PEO Network, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based consulting firm.
"There are a lot of buyers out there, particularly among the private equity firms," she says.
Despite the interest among potential buyers, few professional employer organizations are willing to sell their business, Aaron says.
"A lot of the professional employer organizations that are left are stable and don't seem interested in selling," she says. "They aren't going to sell until the valuations go up."
