Red Raider Softball Defeats Liberty, 15-7
March 20, 2005
ALBUQURQUE, New Mexico - Freshman Whitney Riley went 5 for 5 in the 15-7 win over Liberty on day three of the New Mexico Tournament. The Red Raiders are now 16-9 on the season. The Red Raiders finished the weekend 4-0.
The Red Raiders scored first and put five runs on the board in the second inning. Tech started off with a single through the right side from freshman Jennifer Bowers. Sophomore Heather Parker then hit a double down the left field line advancing Bowers to third. Next for Tech was Lisa Lawler who struck out swinging, but got on base by an error on the catcher and batted Bowers in for the first score.
On a sacrifice fly from Natalie Kula, Parker scored and Lawler moved to third base. Senior lead-off hitter, Natalie Enderlin singled through the right side, scoring Lawler. Riley then singled down the left field line, advancing Enderlin to second. Freshman Jennifer Corkin followed with a double to left center and scored Enderlin and Riley. The Red Raiders left the inning ahead, 5-0.
Tech was also the next to score as they totaled four runs in the third inning. After Brandy Moulin getting on base with a single to shortstop and Bowers with a hit up the middle, Parker cleared the bases when she smashed a homerun over left center. The Red Raiders then loaded the bases again as Enderlin reached on a fielders choice by shortstop. Riley singled through the left side and Corkin and Rhyne were both hit by the pitch, walking in one run.
Liberty responded in the bottom of the fourth with four runs as they had one homerun, three hits and one Red Raider error.
Tech put two more runs up in the fourth as an error by right field allowed Bowers to score from third and Parker to advance to third. Lawler grounded out to second base, but allowed Parker to score.
Liberty posted their last three more runs in the fourth as two runs were scored on an error by the catcher and one from a single homerun.
The Red Raiders sealed the win with one more run in the sixth from Kula as she doubled to left center scoring Lawler. Tech also scored three more runs in the seventh. The first score came when Corkin tripled down the left field line scoring Riley. Then Rhyne singled to left field scoring Corkin and Rhyne scored as Bowers singled up the middle.
The last game scheduled against New Mexico at 3 p.m. was canceled due to inclement weather.
Four Red Raiders made the All-Tournament team - Riley, Crawford, Hauck and Bowers was the MVP of the tournament.
Next up for the Red Raiders is a doubleheader with Oklahoma City at 3 and 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22 at Rocky Johnson Field in Lubbock, Texas.

Meridian, Miss. Two people were taken to the hospital after a single-car crash on Interstate 59 earlier on Saturday evening.
It happened a little before 6:00 near the 149-mile marker on Interstate 59 North, coming into Meridian. The mother of one of the passengers says her son and his wife hydroplaned off of the road due to heavy rain. Their SUV slid down the embankment and knocked over a tree.
The man and woman's injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Watch for FREE: Coach Braun's Announcement | Theo Robertson's Comments
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Calforward Theo Robertson decided to redshirt his junior season after his surgically repaired hip took longer to heal than expected, giving him two more years of eligibility.
"I really don't think I made the decision. It was up to my body," Robertson said Monday. "It's been a long haul. I'm a competitor. I want to play."
The 6-foot-6 Robertson underwent an operation on his hip last April. He had hoped to return to action for Cal (11-4, 2-2 Pac-10) in December or at least for the start of the Pac-10 season earlier this month, but is still experiencing soreness and limited in what he can do in practice and for how long.
Both Robertson, his family and Cal coach Ben Braun realize he will be more effective at full strength, rather than rushing back and only being able to play one game a week. Doctors have told him it takes about a year for the body to fully heal from such a procedure, and he spends long sessions in the training room daily.
During the summer, he was rehabilitating the hip several times a day.
Robertson and Braun told the team during a film session Monday.
"He's our most experienced player and probably our most versatile player. He's been missed and he's going to be missed," Braun said. "The decision came down to he still has a ways to go. I support his decision. He gets his whole junior year back. We all felt this was it. I knew nothing was really going to change."
Robertson started all 33 games for the Golden Bears last season as a sophomore, averaging 8.8 points and 4.3 rebounds while playing the power forward spot due to his teammates' injuries.
He has been practicing about twice a week as his body allows and is trying to regain his conditioning, mobility, explosiveness and strength.
"Unfortunately it's take so long," Robertson said. "My health is my No. 1 priority."

AUBURN, Alabama. November 30. TWO U.S. Open meet records were broken and American Olympic champions, Megan Quann and Ed Moses, won one event each, to highlight action on the first night of competition at the U.S. Open Swimming Championships, being held at Auburn University. The meet is being held over a short course (25 meters).
Quann, 16, who predicted she would win Olympic gold in the women's 100 meter breaststroke and then did just that, captured her specialty tonight in 1:07.25, breaking her own meet record of 1:07.41 set two years ago.
Moses, 20, the Olympic silver medalist in the men's 100 meter breaststroke and the world record holder over the 100 meters short course, ran away with his race tonight. His time of 59.70 seconds was more than two seconds ahead of the field.
Venezuelan Olympian, Ricardo Monasterio, out-duelled the USA's Robert Margalis to take the men's 400 meter freestyle. His time, 3:48.92, was more than a second under the old meet record. Margalis, too, dipped under the old standard with his 3:49.44.
Janelle Atkinson, who just missed becoming Jamaica's first swimmer to win an Olympic medal when she finished fourth in the 400 free in Sydney, came storming from behind tonight to win her specialty in 4:07.43, more than half a second ahead of the USA's Rachel Komisarz.
Maggie Bowen, a student at Auburn, thrilled the home crowd when she came from behind to pass 16 year-old Nicole Mackey and win the women's 200 meter individual medley in 2:11.30. The men's 200 meter IM was an entirely different race, with Honda Vitazka, of the Czech Republic, leading from start to finish. His 1:58.35 was almost three seconds faster than Robert Margalis, who notched his second silver medal of the evening.
Jamie Reid, a teammate of Quann's at the Puyallup Swim Club in suburban Seattle, had to come from behind to win the women's 200 meter backstroke in 2:09.47. Nicole Mackey, who led through 150 meters, was second in 2:10.43. The men's 200 back went to France's Romain Barnier in 1:58.99, as he fought off the USA's Chris DeJong.
Christina Swindle showed why she is being tabbed as America's next great sprinter. The just-turned-16 Swindle, who broke Dara Torres's 15 year-old national high school record in the 50 yard freestyle three weeks ago, powered to victory in the 50 meters tonight in 25.17. Rhiannon Jeffrey, just 14, was second in 25.62. The men's 50 free went to France's Michel Picotte in 22.36.

Marijuana Grow Operator Sentenced to Prison
|U.S. Attorney's Office September 14, 2012
ANCHORAGE—U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced that Corey Gresham was sentenced in federal court for operating a marijuana growing operation out of a rented Wasilla residence.
On April 20, 2012, an Anchorage federal jury convicted Gresham of drug conspiracy and manufacturing marijuana. In addition, the jury directed Gresham to forfeit seized cash, a handgun, and a 2005 BMW used to facilitate and commit his drug trafficking offenses.
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Burgess sentenced Gresham, 31, to five years in prison. Gresham's co-conspirator, Malcolm Elliot Brooks, was previously also sentenced to five years in prison. A third indicted co-conspirator awaits trial.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle G. French, on October 26, 2010, members of law enforcement observed Gresham and Brooks visit businesses which sell carbon dioxide, high-intensity lighting systems, chemicals, and other materials used by marijuana manufacturers to improve the yield of marijuana plants grown indoors. Law enforcement officers followed Gresham and Brooks from the businesses to a rented single-family residence located at 1100 Fairview Loop, Wasilla, Alaska. On two dates in November 2010, officers conducted surveillance operations at the residence. On both occasions, an officer smelled the odor of cultivated marijuana emanating from the residence. On the basis of all these observations and other corroborating information, law enforcement officers obtained a search warrant for the residence.
On November 31, 2010, members of law enforcement executed the warrant and seized from the residence 190 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, extensive marijuana cultivation materials, distribution paraphernalia, $2,064 cash, and two loaded firearms. Gresham was at the residence when law enforcement executed the search warrant. The residence also contained large carbon dioxide cylinders, high-intensity lighting systems, chemicals, a plant growth ledger, and a sophisticated air circulation system used in a room dedicated to manufacturing marijuana.
Ms. Loeffler commended the Federal Bureau of Investigations Safe Streets Task Force, comprised of FBI agents and officers from the Anchorage Police Department, for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Gresham. Former AUSA Craig Warner represented the United States during Gresham's trial and obtained the jury's guilty verdicts.

The Humane Society of Johnson County is looking for community volunteers and donors.
Ways to help include volunteering, fostering animals, becoming a member of the Humane Society, providing supplies for the organization's wish list or making a donation.
The nonprofit group is seeking donations of hard-sided animal carriers for cats and dogs, which may be new or used in good condition. These carriers are needed to transport animals for vet care or adoption events.
Donations are being sought for the Dudley Fund, which provides money for surgeries for homeless animals, such as for:
- Channing, a Persian cat that came to the society after being found wandering, badly matted and in poor health due to malnutrition. The vet said he will make a full recovery but needs dental surgery to aid in that recovery.
- Cindy, a small dog with two bad knees who is now in the society's care. Surgery on her knees will make her pain-free and ready to lead a happy life in a permanent, loving home.
The surgeries are expensive, and help is needed to aid Channing, Cindy and other animals. All donations to The Dudley Fund will help the humane society continue to assist these animals.
Donations can be sent to the Humane Society of Johnson County, 3827 N. Graham Road, Franklin, IN 46131. Donations also can be made on line at www.hsjc.org.

I have to write an 'extended essay', although its only about 2000/2500 words, for a sort of school project and i was looking for some advice. It can be on absolutely any topic but since i want to study mathematics at university, that's probably my topic. I want something that i will potentially be able to speak about and impress in an interview (hopefully applying to oxford) but it also needs to be interesting for a reader, who wouldn't know much about the topic.
I was thinking possibly something about the Riemann hypothesis, a brief history and perhaps whether its reasonable to assume. Or maybe an introduction into group theory but i wasn't sure if this would be particularly interesting. It needs to be sufficiently mathematical but also enjoyable for a reader. Another idea was an essay on mathematical proofs of implausible ideas and mention the banach-tarski paradox and others but this might be too general and i think it would be better to concentrate on a small area of maths and learn a lot about it.
So please, i'm open to all help and ideas. What my teachers did stress is the essay should have a point, and what would help with this would be phrasing the title as a question. But this sort of implied that you should have a sort of argument, but i thought a main point of maths was that there were no points of view, its proven fact... Help please And thank you.

If you want it both mathsy and accessable I would avoid group theory and the riemann hypothesis. You could consider something more abstract like game theory, something people can easily relate to and picture.
Who is going to be reading it? The readers level of mathematics knowledge/apltitude will affect what topics you can do easily.
what about that guy (sorry - can`t remember his name - went to cambridge i think) who proved fermat`s last theorem with galois theory?
Since this project is basically going to be used to help with your uni interviews, here are my tips:
- Don't aim to make it accessible. Only like 2 people will read it in full (sad but true), and at least one of them will be a marker. If they're too incompetent to understand what you've written, that's their loss, and you could complain if they then gave you a bad mark. If you make it accessible, you risk dumbing down the mathematics too much. My guess is that 1250 words of solid maths translates into about 2500 words of dumbed down maths. It'd just be less useful for your uni applications - you'd have solid maths to talk about. Dumbing down has its place - it means the ideas are much easier for you to articulate, in say, an interview - but it shouldn't be done at the expense of actual content. Go above the word limit if you need to.
- Don't pick maths that is too hard. If you write about the Riemann Hypothesis, or Fermat's Last Theorem, or somesuch advanced mathematical idea that's famous simply for being easy to understand and difficult to reason about, you won't be able to go into much detail. You won't be making any progress, you'll just be restating ideas you read in books. For most interviews, it's no better than simply stating on your PS that you read the books. It'll make for a very short project, and to be perfectly honest, I bet about three quarters of the people who take an extended essay to their maths interview have looked at one of Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann Hypothesis or game theory. They're stale.
- Try to pick something that can be split into a nice three sentence summary. For example 'I identified that Rubik's cube can be solved using aspects of group theory. I then used the knowledge obtained in order to derive an algorithm for solving Rubik's cube - I then used the same principles to extend this algorithm to a 4-dimensional Rubik hypercube.' Now, I'm not suggesting you do that - it's probably a lot harder than it sounds - but it's the sort of thing that could impress an interviewer - far more so than 'I condensed Simon Singh's book 'Fermat's Last Theorem' into five pages'.
- Do something different, but not too different. There are loads of blogs on the internet from famous mathematicians, and many of these identify really interesting problems or open problems that could be interesting avenues for your work. I particularly recommend 'Godel's Lost Letter' - it's a compsci blog but pretty much all it talks about is open questions in mathematics. If you pick something too different, you'd risk your interviewer not knowing what you are talking about and needing further explanation - and that's a massive can of worms that I experienced more than once.
I did an extended project last year, and I'm studying CompSci+Maths next year so YMMV, but it came up in all of my interviews, including my Cambridge one. Over the applications cycle, I was probably in about two hour's worth of interviews, and I probably spent about a quarter of that time talking about my extended project. The academics seemed very impressed with what I'd done. On the other hand, people at my school who did pretty basic projects barely talked about them at all.

Natural dangers: how to be safe with sharks and other Australian deadly creatures
Natural dangers: how to be safe with sharks and other Australian deadly creatures
Natural dangers: how to be safe with sharks and other Australian deadly creatures
As the country debates the need for permanent catch-and-kill programs for sharks, we've taken a look at what else is lurking in the Australian environment and the chances of you getting on the wrong side of one of these creatures.
The reality is that while Australia is a place where potential danger is always around the corner, the chance of you becoming a victim is small especially if you're sensible and follow local advice.
Here are some facts about sharks and other deadly Australian animals you'd be very unlikely to meet.
Think terrifying creatures, think Great White Shark. With an average 2,800 teeth they're pretty much at the top of the food chain and have even been known to tackle small whales.
Great Whites can be found in all major oceans of the world and on all coasts of Australia. But they're not the only type of shark living in Australian seas - there are about 170 different species lurking out there. And that may make it seem crazy even contemplating popping in for a swim, no matter how tempting the water looks.
Realistically though, becoming a shark attack victim is exceptionally unlikely (in fact drowning is more probable). According to the Toronga Conservation Society of Australia, in the last 50 years, there have been 51 recorded unprovoked fatalities due to shark attack, which averages around one per year.
There is a risk of course, but thousands of people swim, surf or dive in Australian waters every day and manage to make it home. And if it's any comfort, most close encounters with sharks don't prove to be fatal.
There are a few things you can do to reduce the risk of meeting a shark. Swim at patrolled beaches, avoid entering the water alone (sharks can be deterred by larger groups of people) and don't wear shiny swimwear or accessories (which may attract the eye of a shark). And remember, it's only the very, very unfortunate, in the wrong place at the wrong time, who will ever meet a shark.
The box jellyfish, while nowhere near as terrifying in appearance as a great white shark, is far more prevalent. It can be hard to see these graceful creatures because they're transparent. They have many tentacles up to 3 metres in length, each covered in thousands of stinging cells. Contact can cause excruciating pain, shock and even death.
The good news is that box jellyfish are only found in the tropical waters of Australia and they're most common from November to May. There is clear signage in areas of danger and if you must go for a swim, stick to patrolled beaches. Wearing a full-body lycra suit in the water, while not particularly fashionable, will protect against the harmful stingers.
They may appear lifeless on shore, but the world's largest reptile can go from passive observer to terrifying hunter in a split second. They're also able to hold their breath underwater for hours, so even if the water looks safe, you can never be entirely sure.
Plenty of people have survived crocodile attacks by fighting back, targeting blows at the eyes, ears and nostrils. But the best survival strategy is simply to avoid being a victim in the first place. Keep away from the infested waters of Australia's Top End, adhere to the many warning signs and remain vigilant. The rate of crocodile attacks may be increasing, but 95% of victims are locals who become complacent.
These spiders are big and ugly. And deadly. They're darkly coloured, with a shiny head and thorax. And they have large, powerful fangs capable of penetrating fingernails and shoes. They often strike repeatedly.
And if that's not enough to make you wary, funnel-web spiders don't hang around the house like regular spiders. They hide away in silk-lined burrows - under rocks, in rotting logs, sometimes in the hollows of trees metres above the ground. So you never know when you may come across one while you're outdoors.
Actually, funnel web spiders are usually found in the moist, humid regions along the eastern coast of Australia. They're most active at night and are only aggressive if provoked or threatened. Not all species are extremely venomous either.
Of course all bites should be treated as potentially dangerous and thankfully there is an anti venom available. There have been no fatalities since it was developed more than 30 years ago.
The spine of a big stingray is a seriously scary weapon. Venom lies along the tail barb, safely contained inside a sheath. But once the barb is broken (say by impact into a human body) the venom comes into direct contact with the victim's body fluids and it begins to spread. Extreme pain follows.
If you're lucky enough to get away with just some slashing injuries, hopefully you'll receive good emergency treatment and survive the attack. Infection, immune system breakdown, amputation and years of suffering could be the unhappy ending.
Unfortunately famous Australian wildlife warrior Steve Irwin wasn't even that lucky. While filming a television program in 2006 on the Great Barrier Reef, a stingray struck him several hundred times in just a few seconds. The massive ray's spine pierced his heart and despite receiving CPR, Steve died before reaching shore.
A bite from an inland taipan causes gradual paralysis, dissolves muscle and tissue and can cause death in as little as 45 minutes. It is fast, agile and can strike instantly, with extreme accuracy, snapping it's jaws fiercely several times to inflict multiple punctures. That's one snake to avoid!
Luckily, avoiding it is quite easy. The inland taipan may be Australia's most deadly snake, but it's also a reclusive creature. 'Fierce' describes it's venom, not it's behaviour. It lives in remote locations far away from most people. The dose of venom it delivers is small compared to other snakes, and there is an anti venom available, so with emergency treatment a bite is not necessarily a death sentence.
These octopus are in fact very shy and try to keep to themselves. They're small, well camouflaged and hide in crevices or under rocks in tide pools.
But when disturbed, blue-ringed octopuses quickly change colour and iridescent blue circles suddenly glow all over their bodies. To predators they appear threatening, but to unsuspecting humans they become very attractive.
If you make the mistake of picking it up for a closer look, the octopus is sure to 'bite' with its saliva containing a powerful nerve toxin. Within minutes your lips and tongue will become numb and the muscles you use to breathe will become paralysed.
You should survive the encounter though, providing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is administered early enough. Victims usually go on to make a full recovery and in fact there are only 2 cases of death-by-octopus in Australia.
The stonefish is the most venomous fish in the world. It's also very well camouflaged, resembling a rock or a lump of coral. It has 13 sharp dorsal spines projecting from poisonous venom glands and lays in shallow waters, waiting for pray … unless someone's foot finds it first. The venom brings on extreme pain, swelling, muscular paralysis and breathing difficulty.
Again, becoming a victim is far from likely if you go prepared and be cautious. Stonefish are only found in the northern tropical waters of Australia. Wear thick-soled shoes and shuffle your feet when walking in shallows and don't pick up rocks - they might not be rocks!

I've been saying since the Vikes beat the Bears that the Bears could NOT win the tiebreaker against MN, yet others still seemed to think they could.
Well, I just checked the playoff picture and they can't! If the Vikes win or Chicago loses, the Vikes clinch!
Remember when all the Bears fans said the Vikes were done after they were 0-2? Remember how it was going to be between the Bears and Pack because the Vikes were done???
Go Vikes!
I don't drink the Kool-Aid, and I am done making excuses. Only keeping it real...
I think someone also said that 8-8 was going to win the division, and i might be mistaken, they thought the packers were going to win the division
"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
I'm a little worried about this game today against the Falcons. I sure hope they can beat them so it should be fun to watch
Man... thank god the season is over and the Vikings have made the playoffs... Wait... what? The season isn't over yet? Oh... okay then.
To those not paying close attention:
The Vikings could still end up with the #2 seed and a first round bye in the NFC playoffs:
- Vikings need to win last two (Atlanta, NY Giants)
- The Panthers/Giants loser tonight must lose next week. The Panthers play the Saints, and the Giants are @ the Vikings.
So say the Vikings win today, and the Panthers beat the Giants tonight. The Vikings and Giants would be playing each other next week with the winner getting the #2 seed and the 1st round bye.
I like that sound of that!

You seem to have been rather misguidedly listening to Bears fans. Why would you do that?
Remember when you jumped off a building when the Vikings blew it again... you remember that?
That was awesome.
Just having fun.. if by chance you do make it in, represent the North well!
Tjack looks like a whole new QB after watching most of the season. I am not a Vikes fan but would like to see him succeed there.

He is definitely playing better for them, but I hope he fails again.
It looks like the over would have been a good bet today

Phone: (770) 345-5554
Address: 6875 Hickory Road
Woodstock, GA 30188-2011
Practice: Dentists
Choosing a dentist in Woodstock is not a fun task. Let's be realistic no one really likes dental work, but there are some methods to make it more tolerable. There are many options in terms of choosing a dentist, and choosing the best one can have a major effect on your experience. Within the following paragraphs we'll examine the way to select the best dentist.
The initial thing you want to do is choose a dentist that is seasoned. There are many fly by night dental companies, and other dentists who're just out of school. While you will find some really good young dentists, it is much better to find a dentist who has at least five years of competent experience. If you're getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely would like someone with experience.
It is also smart to get referrals from your friends and family. Just like most other services, people have a tendency to visit the same experts when they find a very good one. You can also research potential dentists to get a good idea of their practice. This is useful specifically if you cannot get any referrals. If you find one which provides extensive reviews that are positive, they may be worth looking at.
Some things to take into consideration are dentists in Woodstock who publicize extremely low prices. Most of that time period these dentists are interested more in quantity versus quality. In these type of practices you're not going to get plenty of one on one attention. Also, avoid dentists who use routine sedation. For young kids this is ok, but for the majority of adults being sedated is not necessary for dental work.
Don't forget to either visit or call the particular office for more information on their services. By following the advice above you will limit the problems you have when the time comes to choose a dentist in zip code 30188.
Have you been to Patterson Dan DDS? If so remember to leave a precise review.

Even now, the soldiers of Plan Colombia and their right-wing death squads continue murdering union leaders in cold blood, continue terrorizing the civilian population of Colombia, and continue protecting terrorists who hunt down and kill anyone seeking social justice in the region, a cause that threatens the profit and power of the dominant, ruling class.
Even when the United States and their Latin American allies attempt to create a spectacle of positive public relations for themselves, their hands are so bloody and their crimes are so deep that, in the end, their fabrications do little to change the reality on the ground. Like all dictatorships in human history, their lies are so transparent, their brutality is so brazen and their lifespan is so limited.

This is one of the best researched articles I've seen
eliminate point 7
Andrés 09.Jul.2008 16:36
The article is ok, but to give it more credibility you should eliminate the point 7 because the rupture in the diplomatic relations between Colombia and Ecuador is related with the illegal atack to a camp of FARC in territory of Ecuador, and not to the rescue of the kidnapped persons. If you click on the link you'll se the two things aren´t related.
in response to your last paragraph

Your last point is no excuse for the atrocities that uribe and his government of cowards have committed and continue to commit.
Response to Ecuador diplomatic relations objection
Concerned citizens of irc.indymedia.org 10.Jul.2008 00:54
The article does not say that Ecuador suspended diplomatic relationships with Colombia over Betancourt. It clearly says "In light of all these events..." including Uribe's connections with right-wing terror groups, Uribe's hostile relationship with Chavez and Correa, etc. The reason it was included is because during Telesur's in-depth coverage of the Betancourt story, they repeatedly played a segment which discussed the diplomatic break between Colombia and Ecuador and said that difference in strategies regarding FARC prisoners (diplomacy with the Red Cross for Chavez/Correa and a potentially fake military rescue operation from Colombia) is contributing to the on-going diplomatic rift. If we had said that Ecuador broke ties BECAUSE of this incident, I could understand your criticism. But that's not what it says and we are following Telesur's lead on this one.

You wrote: The capitalist media, without any shame, immediately began to use the situation to promote their own political objectives: everywhere in the corporate media, Uribe was lauded as a hero, FARC's days are numbered and Chavez's successful and peaceful diplomacy that freed other FARC-held prisoners was downplayed.

ecuador relations
john 21.Jul.2008 20:53
Ecuador cut relations with Colombia following a March 1st raid on FARC across the Ecuadorian border. The Colombian military has "violated" Ecuador's borders a number of times in the past few years and there is always tension afterwards, the March 1st incident was larger then previous ones (with 24 killed I believe) and was a bigger story due to the scale, a FARC leaders death and Venezuela aggressively supporting Ecuador so as a result Ecuador took its harshest action yet, which was to cut all diplomatic relations indefinitely. The first week of March the three nations (Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela) seemed on the verge of war but thats has mostly calmed down for the moment (I live in Ecuador, not too far from the border). The article is a good one but the wording of point 7 is deceptive. It implies that Ecuador's bad relation with Colombia is due to the circumstances described in the first six points (all taking place in Colombia in June or July) and that is absolutely not true. Local coverage mentioned Ecuador as supporting the freed hostages and even calling for FARC to free the rest of their hostages but at the same time re-iterating that the Colombian government is no friend of theirs and perhaps will not be until Uribe leaves office.

Re: New DXO 5D MkIII plus lens test
Only one lens tested so far?
Anyways, with 35mm/1.4, 5DIII scores higher than 5DII, the difference is a bit more than I expected.
Thanks for the link.
Yeah, this is the first lens test with the 5D3 and the first test for the 35mm 1.4L. If you really want a shock, compare the 550D + 35L vs the 1DIV +35L. Crack a beer and make some popcorn.

This week on DVD/Blu-ray: Canada's moving Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film; a horror flick from the guy that brought you "The Blair Witch Project"; The Who's classic rock opera; a cool and brutal Scandinavian thriller; and the latest comedy from the director of "The Big Chill."
#1. "Monsieur Lazhar"
For better or worse, the teacher/classroom genre is a Hollywood staple. From "Dangerous Minds" and "Freedom Writers" to "Mr. Holland's Opus" and "Dead Poets Society," these films tend to follow a standard plot formula (and often reap considerable box office and Oscar nominations anyway). Quebecois import "Monsieur Lazhar" -- fresh off an Academy Award nomination for foreign language film -- manages to transcend the genre with a moving, realistic take on student-teacher relations.
Directed by Philippe Falardeau, the film follows Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), an Algerian immigrant who is hired to replace a teacher at a Montreal elementary school who kills herself. Honest and sincere in a manner rare to its Hollywood counterparts, "Lazhar" is a powerful little film that effectively takes on a multitude of issues permeating today's society.
READ MORE: Here's 8 Great Teacher/Student Films, In Honor of 'Monsieur Lazhar'
Extras: A half-hour sitdown (in French) between Falardeau and writer Evelyne de la Cheneliere (who wrote the one-man play on which Falardeau based his screenplay); a 20-minute Q&A with Falardeau; audition tapes from the young actors who play Alice and Simon; and the theatrical trailer.
#2. "Lovely Molly"
Director Eduardo Sanchez helped begin the found footage genre when he co-directed "The Blair Witch Project" 13 years ago. Plenty of other directors have since added their own takes, with diminishing results ("The Devil Inside," anyone?), but Sanchez revisits the style again in his latest horror film "Lovely Molly" with some terrifying results. Using a standard narrative with intermittent first-person POV footage, the film finds a newlywed woman moving into her abandoned childhood home. She starts experiencing strange, terrifying events and believes a malevolent force is out to get her and her family.
Extras: Three featurettes, each around seven minutes in length; the theatrical trailer; and trailers for "The Double," "Beneath the Darkness" and "Monster Brawl."
#3. "Quadrophenia" (Criterion Collection)
With The Who all the rage again thanks to the London Olympics closing night ceremony, the Criterion Collection has released the groups' classic rock opera "Quadrophenia" on their label. Directed by Franc Roddam, "Quadrophenia" is one of the quintessential chronicles of youthful rebellion and turmoil, with Pete Townshend's roaring songs (including "I've Had Enough" and "Love Reign O'er Me") leading the fray. The film centers on Jimmy (Phil Daniels), a teenager who spends his time scooter-driving and pill-popping with his fellow mods. Tension ensues when his group decides to act on their contempt for the motorcycle-riding rockers in town.
Extras: New audio commentary featuring Roddam and Tufano; a new interview with Bill Curbishley, the film's coproducer and The Who's comanager; a new interview with The Who's sound engineer, Bob Pridden, featuring a discussion of the new mix as well as a restoration demonstration; a segment on the film from a 1979 episode of the BBC series "Talking Pictures" featuring interviews and on-set footage; a segment from a 1964 episode of the French news program "Sept jours du monde," about mods and rockers; a 1965 episode of a French youth-culture program, featuring early footage of The Who; plus a booklet featuring an essay by critic Howard Hampton, a 1985 personal history by original mod Irish Jack, and Pete Townshend's liner notes from the 1973 album.

IUCN Caribbean is the Union's most recent Initiative. It focuses on the Insular Caribbean - an ecologically coherent unit with unique biodiversity where conservation and natural resource management issues are at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development.
This new initiative was spearheaded at the 2004 IUCN World Conservation Congress (Resolution 3.033) at the request of Caribbean IUCN members, and it has since been developed with the support of the Governments of France and Italy. The Initiative was formerly launched, four years later, at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona in October 2008.
The current 2009 – 2012 Programme of Work is based on a comprehensive Situation Analysis, which was carried out and published in 2007. The analysis included an assessment of the issues, needs and opportunities for ecological conservation in the region and the formulation of the programme involved consultation with all members and key partners of IUCN in the Caribbean region
The IUCN Caribbean Initiative works through its regional network of members and partners to provide a platform for collaboration among governments, non-governmental organisations, scientific institutions and individuals. The Initiative's first task in 2009 was to develop a robust communication strategy to increase information sharing between stakeholders and build support for the Initiative. Implementation will be supported by a sub-regional Committee of Members in the Insular Caribbean that will help guide, monitor and evaluate the Initiative's implementation.
For an initial period of two years, while the Initiative becomes fully established, IUCN Caribbean has been placed under the responsibility of the IUCN Regional Office for Mesoamerica, based in Costa Rica, to allow for administrative and management support as well as the development of links within the wider Caribbean region.

Thank you.
I'm concerned also with the nature of the emails. The language is very aggressive and he has resorted to name calling/insulting customer service and detailing how in the past he has done this sort of thing and he is yet to loose a case. Giving him a second pair of sless will not bankrupt us, but if he making king a business out of doing this sort of thing he must be stopped.
Please note; we have replaced a pair already which he purchased in Oz. Sent the new pair to him as he does not have transport. Now he won't allow us to even view this pair to have it repaired. He still wants a full refund-without sending the shoes back. Plus he wants to charge for writing negative reviews about the company I work for.
I'm writing this at my own expense/discretion as the main customer service colleague involved is at a loss. Not to mention being called metal in Latin.
Yes.We have blocked his emails at work. Invited him to a meeting to discuss his issues with the managing dircetors
Oops- hit enter as a habbit. In addtion to the above we have taking more legal advise, He has contacted approx 20-30 of our customers via email, written damming 'editorials' pretending to be the owner of the company...it goes on and on. Mental in Latin "Comidus Menatilus"? I am unsure on the spelling.

Here is a link to a study done which shows that the impact of Mountain Biking on trails is equal to hiking. In other words, there is no significant difference.
I'm not anti-hiking, in fact, I hike myself but I can't stand it when people tell me that mountain bikes should stay out of the woods because of the damage they cause.:irritated: Well here is a study which shows that the impact caused my Mountain bikes is the same as hiking.

I haven't been on the blog in a while, but here I am…a lady who lunches (yea right…)
It is 11pm on Tuesday night in Sydney. Tomorrow is the actual fashion show that I am hosting!!! There are 54 journalists coming to the event! I start my first interview at 7:10am and my last one in the late afternoon. So this is what celebrity life is like LOL.
On to the outfit… This dress is part of Miss Tina's Fall collection at Walmart. She has a bunch of wrap dresses which I think is so smart for us workin ladies. Who doesn't like a wrap dress!!?? I did something a little different with this one that you may decide is not right for you. I got it in the largest size it came in and I played around with the draping and tying so instead of it being skin tight, it fits looser. What do you think of the way I am wearing it? If you go to Walmart.com you'll see how it's supposed to be worn. Always remember to think outside the box and reinvent new ways of wearing things!

Live with Your Parents After Graduation? You Aren't the Only One.
I was once terrified of what this would do to my social life and my ability to date. Not only do I live in the suburbs of Chicago, away from all of the "young people," but I also live with mom and dad. Yes, seeing friends in the city is more of a challenge than I'd like it to be, but I am thankful to be able to live with my parents during a time of transition. I've also been surprised by the number of people who have told me they WISH they could still be living with their parents. Why is this? Parents can help us not only financially, but mentally and emotionally. While it's never good to be too attached to your parents, it is nice to have that unconditional love and support around you — especially when you're trying to change careers or find a new job. You know that someone is rooting for you and believes that your future is a good investment.
If you lived at home after graduation, but have since moved out, remember to thank your parents for the help they gave you. And if you're currently staying with your parents or are considering moving back in, here's a few things to prepare yourself for:
- It is not your house. Show some respect. You may have grown up there, but you're an adult now. Make sure you contribute in some way. Keep your room clean, put your dishes in the dishwasher. When you parents ask for help, even if you're busy, do it. After all, they are doing you a huge favor.
- Set some boundaries. While I love my mom, sometimes I will be working in my room and she will wander in to tell me about the latest sale at Nordstroms. While this is great information, I have to make sure I'm still productive at home. I'll tell my parents that I'm off to work for a few hours so that they know not to disturb me. I'll close the door to have my own space.
- Keep in contact. Sometimes we forget that parents worry about us when we leave the house. My mom always says that she knows I'm an adult, and that I've lived in other states on my own, but she still wants to make sure I'm okay when I'm out. I let her know with a text message or call if I've arrived somewhere or if I'm heading home. It might seem invasive, but if you had a roommate, wouldn't you worry if they didn't show up when you expected them?
- Don't be embarrassed. You're doing the best thing for yourself by taking some time at home. You can feel comfortable searching for the right job or apartment or condo when you don't have to obsess over rent. Just make sure you don't take too much advantage — keep yourself busy working toward the goal of moving out (finish school, keep job hunting, keep working part-time jobs). And if you still feel bad, check out this info graphic:

Shooting and Ranges.
All club rifle shooting takes place at the Hilltop Regional Shooting Complex, Hilltop (near Mittagong) NSW. A copy of the club calendar can be found below. New members have three months from the date of joining in which to take both a practical safety test, and a short written safety test both conducted by Range Officers. Both tests relate to safety and safe personal conduct while on the range. What members need to know is contained in the attached Rifle Range Safety Rules and is demonstrated by Range Officers and members at shoots. Ask your Range Officer for any clarification of these rules.
Members please note:- The 800metre range is now open for centrefire and rimfire shooting.
Work to rectify minor problems with the new 500 metre range is also in hand. No details can be released at this time.
Club Services.
Target shooting competitions are conducted as shown in the club calendar. Pistol competitions are held on other ranges. Contact the club for details.
Rifle competitions are; Lever Action, Military, Metallic Silhouette, Bench Rest, Hunting Club (practice) and Black Powder.
Firearms Licence Testing. Testing and training are no longer carried out by the club. Persons seeking to obtain a Firearms Licence, (or a minor's permit for ages 12 yrs to under 18 yrs) should contact either Darcy Baker (42615857 or 0411019933) or Laif on the club email address or club phone number (above), to arrange an appointment for training & license testing.

Please note, our Rimfire Silhouette competition is now shot as a Varmint Silhouette match. Our targets are regular sizes & are set out at normal distances, but are mounted as "spinners", so no setup is needed between details. Five shots are fired on each of the four silhouettes from the standing position as usual, but the next twenty shots are fired from any field position (no fore end rests or bipods). A Utube video of the event, "Shoot IRSA Varmint Silhouette" is available here (copy & paste into your browser if clicking this link fails). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZfkNeT_MkA&feature=youtube_gdata
To get a general introduction to Metallic Silhouette shooting under standard rules try this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC7lQxcelqc&feature=related
Our current IRSA Silhouette Rules are downloadable from the list below.
Bench Rest Competitions are now being run on the 800m Hilltop Range.
Our first BR competition at Hilltop was held at the end of November 2015, with a big roll-up of members and visitors, including Robert Brown MLC. There will be more BR competitions later in 2016. Keep an eye on the calendar.
The aim of our BR shoots is to allow shooters using any rifle (up to the sound limit) to compete on equal terms, through the use of a 6X scope limit in the sporting rifle class, and the SSAA BR30 weight handicaps across all events. Shooters turned up with everything from air rifles to full BR rigs and everything in between. The success of the handicap system was shown by the fact that some very ordinary rifles won events and in every event scores were extraordinarily close. Eighteen medals and eighteen team certificates were awarded across the six events. Future shoots will have a similar format to our first one, but will evolve with the feedback we get and the time available.
The rules for these events are set out below in the download section.
Current Club Calendar.
A copy of the current Club Calendar is attached. Please down load if required. This file is in pdf format which required the free Acrobat Reader program to access. Download Acrobat Reader at http://www.Adobe-Download-Free.com
The Shooters' Party Illawarra / IRSA Branch.
The local branch of the Party is attached to the IRSA. Shooters' Party meetings may be conducted after monthly IRSA meetings, at the same venue. However, for up to date information, membership renewals and enquiries, please visit the official web site http://www.shootersparty.org.au/ .
Hearing Protection.
Shooting without hearing protection can quickly damage your hearing. This damage results in having real difficulty hearing what people are saying, especially children & especially in noisy places. Deafness isolates people from friends & family; causes irritability & depression in the sufferer. Get some good information at this web site. http://www2a.cdc.gov/hp-devices/huntershooters.html. As a rule of thumb, when around centrefire shooting, experts recommend wearing a soft foam ear insert with a pair of over-ear muffs as well.

"Both his mother and father were tremendous athletes in their day and that, combined with his progress, bodes well for his future. Kris is an outstanding young man who is concerned about developing athletically, academically and spiritually though his years at Auburn."
(Per SwimInfo's recollection, Scott Findorff was a sub-20 second 50 yd freestyle swimmer three decades ago for USC.

Bold. Sassy. Flocking. Cute. Feathery and loud. These are all words that describe ducks, and when you think of a group of gay people having a good time, gaggling and sashaying about with plumed feather hats and molehair suits, wildly eating healthy grain products as they excitedly plan a vacation to South Florida for the winter, you may find these words describe gay people too. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of duck hunting, knows a thing or two about ducks. And […]

Oct 27
Although there was much debate at MEPC63 around market-based measures, the resulting postponement on a conclusive decision, pending further study, has left the industry divided and without resolution.
Strong opinions on the emissions trading system vs. bunker levy debate have left us in danger of becoming distracted from the central 'million dollar question': how can we develop shipping's understanding of the value of carbon, building knowledge that will enable ship owners to save money and gain a competitive advantage, whilst also preparing for incoming regulation?
The outcome of MEPC63 may have effectively put a definitive MBM for shipping on ice for now, but this is no time to stall the progress that is being made in taking action on carbon emissions.
Now, more than ever, energy efficiency makes good business sense. As bunker fuel prices spike and the challenging market conditions bite, taking a proactive approach to CSR is becoming increasingly valued and central to maintaining competitive advantage. Not only do efficiency measures simultaneously reduce fuel consumption and therefore spend, at the same time the world's focus on shipping's stance against climate change continues to sharpen.
Stakeholders across the global supply chain are all placing greater importance on carbon emissions management. Major retailers driven by consumer interest in sustainability for example and for financial institutions, CSR is now a key criterion on which banks such as ABN Amro evaluate future funding.
So as the connection between sustainability and commercial success strengthens, the industry must start preparing for whichever regulation the future holds.
The first crucial step is to accurately measure carbon footprint, starting with every vessel and port.
This vital data will be used to set baselines and therefore emissions reduction targets. So not only is creating transparency the absolute foundation of any successful emissions reduction programme, it is particularly crucial for an emissions trading system.
Next, taking advantage of the latest and most effective technical and operational measures to reduce emissions in line with EEDI and SEEMP whilst monitoring reductions will result in genuine cost savings. Then ultimately, these reductions can then be turned into carbon credits and used in offsetting to lower carbon footprint even further.
Whilst we wait for further regulation to be agreed, the shipping industry must focus on both understanding that carbon has a price, as well as the proactive measures that can be taken to realise the value that it presents both now and in the years to come.

ESPN's annual NBA Rank has commenced, an exercise that ranks every player in the NBA from 500 all the way to the very top. The worldwide leader asked 104 basketball experts – basically analysts, writers, and bloggers – to assign all players a grade from a whole number of 1 to 10. Once that's done, the numbers are calculated into a finite answer that gives a player a numerical value. From there it's as simple as listing the players' grades from lowest to highest, and NBA Rank is done.
This is obviously an exercise rife with objectivity and potential for error, but it's a fun one nonetheless to get the NBA world's almost-consensus opinion of a particular player going into a season. Basketball Twitter's been buzzing about NBA Rank for days, debating grades certain players deserve and trying to figure out how to distinguish a 5 from a 6, a 7 from an 8 and so on. For instance, if LeBron James is the best player in the NBA is he the only one worthy of a perfect 10? What to do with aging stars like Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce – how many points is regression worth? And the opposite goes for younger players and improvement.
Lists like NBA Rank are far from the be-all end-all of determining a player's worth, but the analysis they spark and the questions they pose is great fodder during this dormant time of the off-season. So we'll analyze NBA Rank the day each grouping comes out, noting individual rankings that stick out one way or another and gleaning what we can from the lists as a whole.
Today's list is players ranked 380-361. To the analysis!
- DeMarre Carroll of the Utah Jazz kicks things off today at 380. He made nary a blip on the radar until being inserted into a depleted Jazz wing rotation late last season, and in the process he showed some real chops for defending and running the floor in transition. He can't shoot and doesn't have much offensive game to speak of, but Carroll is a classic 12th man type, capable of playing multiple positions and filling a role when he's called upon.
- Memphis Grizzlies rookie guard Tony Wroten comes in at 379th, and this is another case of a first-year player's ranking meaning very little. Wroten likely won't get any run this season in a crowded Griz backcourt, but he has all the makings to be one of the league's most unique players in a few years. Blessed with great size, quickness, and court vision, he's a true point guard at 6'6" and can defend any perimeter position. Wroten's jumper is abysmal – seriously abysmal – but he got to the rim at will in summer league regardless and fill the stat sheet with assists, rebounds, and steals, too. That awful shot may keep him from ever becoming a true impact player, but Wroten should be much higher on this list several seasons from now. Players with his combination of size, athleticism, court sense, and competitiveness are few and far between.
- Lakers reserve guard Andrew Goudelock is ranked 377th and that might be too high. He's a classic combo guard without a 1's ballhandling ability and vision and the size or skill to play the 2, and to make it worse he's a middling at best defensively. The only thing Goudelock has going for him at this point is a somewhat reliable long ball; he hit on 37.3% of his three-point tries last year and should see more opportunities from there with Steve Nash and Dwight Howard aboard. This is a big season for the second-round pick and will go a long way in determining the trajectory of his career whether it's with the Lakers or not. If 2012 second-rounder Darius Johnson-Odom can improve his jumper, Goudelock will be pushed for a spot in the rotation.
- Greg Oden is ranked 372nd despite his insistence that he's far away from any sort of NBA comeback. You hate to see anyone injured let alone a player with his wealth of basketball talent, and his presence here reminds how the fortunes of an entire organization often hinge on the health of a player or two. With Oden and Brandon Roy fully healthy, the Portland Trailblazers would be challenging the Thunder and Lakers for Western supremacy. Instead they're in a full re-build behind LaMarcus Aldridge. Sigh. Here's hoping Oden's balky, balky knees hold up long enough for him to see the floor again, contributing off the bench for a good team.
- Chicago Bulls' sophomore wing Jimmy Butler is ranked 371st and that's a surprise. By the end of the season he'll have far outplayed this ranking as he's due for a major, major increase in playing time and showed flashes of rotation-level talent in his rookie year. Long with quick feet and an aggressive demeanor, Butler will step right into the role vacated by Ronnie Brewer as Chicago's other perimeter stopper opposite Luol Deng and thrive. How good he'll ultimately be depends whether or not his streaky jumper develops; Butler was a complete non-threat from 20′ and out last season. Regardless, he's a likely fixture for the Bulls alongside Derrick Rose, Deng, and Joakim Noah over the next several seasons and will prove a solid, dependable player.
- Ranked 365th is Orlando Magic rookie and Dwight Howard-trade piece Moe Harkless, the 15th pick in June's draft. Harkless' case is an interesting one in terms of both his college production and status in the league. He played in the post for a St. John's team lacking size and thrived, using his supreme athleticism and relentless motor to dominate on the glass and beat slower defender to the ball and rim. Harkless is clearly a wing in the NBA, though, and his lack of perimeter skills accounts for him slipping to the middle of the first-round. But his raw talent suggests he could eventually be a defensive-minded impact player there, and that's no doubt how the Magic see him at the very least long-term. Most intriguing is a YahooSports piece on the Howard trade that reads "relaxed trade restrictions on Harkless sent new Orlando GM Rob Hennigan over the moon." Just what do the Magic see in Harkless' future? Maybe more than every other team in the league and writer/analyst that covered the trade, which would make what seems like pennies on the dollar for Dwight to the majority much more for Orlando. Interesting.
