The Cable restores Rachel Maddow to State Department TVs
- By Josh Rogin
Josh Rogin covers national security and foreign policy and writes the daily Web column The Cable. His column appears bi-weekly in the print edition of The Washington Post. He can be reached for comments or tips at email@example.com.
Previously, Josh covered defense and foreign policy as a staff writer for Congressional Quarterly, writing extensively on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, U.S.-Asia relations, defense budgeting and appropriations, and the defense lobbying and contracting industries. Prior to that, he covered military modernization, cyber warfare, space, and missile defense for Federal Computer Week Magazine. He has also served as Pentagon Staff Reporter for the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's leading daily newspaper, in its Washington, D.C., bureau, where he reported on U.S.-Japan relations, Chinese military modernization, the North Korean nuclear crisis, and more.
A graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, Josh lived in Yokohama, Japan, and studied at Tokyo's Sophia University. He speaks conversational Japanese and has reported from the region. He has also worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution.
Josh's reporting has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, C-Span, CBS, ABC, NPR, WTOP, and several other outlets. He was a 2008-2009 National Press Foundation's Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellow, 2009 military reporting fellow with the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism and the 2011 recipient of the InterAction Award for Excellence in International Reporting. He hails from Philadelphia and lives in Washington, D.C.
When State Department employees tuned in Thursday to watch President Obama's U.N. speech, a few of them noticed something amiss. The internal channel that broadcasts MSNBC inside the State Department's Foggy Bottom complex was, for some reason, tuned to FOX News!
"I wanted to watch Obama's speech on MSNBC but I couldn't find it. I still can't find it," one civil servant complained to The Cable Friday morning, saying that many in the building were "hoping to catch a few minutes of the president's speech to the U.N. without post-snark analysis from Fox."
What seemed even more odd was that FOX News was already being broadcast on another channel on the State Department's television system, meaning that there were two FOX broadcasts and no MSNBC to be found. Employees could watch two C-Spans, three CNNs, and three Arabic language stations including Al-Jazeera — but not Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann.
Your humble Cable guy decided to dig into the situation and find out the truth. After some initial calls to the technical staff and an e-mail to the State Department's public affairs shop Friday afternoon, Channel 11, the station in question, went dead.
About an hour later, MSNBC was restored to Channel 11. State Department spokesman Mark Toner responded to our request with an explanation.
Apparently, there were various interruptions in service by the State Department's cable provider, Capital Connections, on Thursday. The State Department's technical services department worked to correct the cable feeds for some time before they realized the problem lay with the provider. Capital Connections had thought they appropriately restored service, but instead accidentally had created two channels of Fox News.
So to all you State Department employees who like MSNBC, we're happy to announce your choices for news at work are now again, um, fair and balanced. Enjoy!

The viability of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, depends on forcing lower income Americans to subsidize the health insurance of those with higher incomes. This is an ironic and perverse consequence of a law designed by politicians who decry rising income inequality.
In order for insurance companies to stay solvent, the premiums they collect have to cover the payments they make.
If only older and sicker Americans sign up for Obamacare exchanges, their premiums have to be high. The cost per person can only be reduced if a large number of healthy individuals also enroll. As a result, recruiters for the Obamacare exchanges are making an all-out effort to sign up people under 35.
Young adults tend to have fewer preexisting conditions and use less medical care. In the past, their premiums reflected this. But in order to lower the payments of older and sicker individuals, to prevent those from rising prohibitively high, Obamacare forces young adults to pay higher premiums.
The under 35 group, at the start of their careers, tend to make less money than workers in their 40s, 50s and early 60s, people in their prime earning years.
Is it any wonder that those under 35 resent and resist being forced to subsidize the health insurance costs of their bosses and others with higher incomes?
Of course, the Affordable Care Act also provides subsidies for people with low incomes, reducing the size of its reverse Robin Hood effect.
Nevertheless, forcing the healthy and the sick to pay more "equal" insurance premiums guarantees that lower income young people will pay more than their share of health care insurance premiums.
President Obama has called economic inequality, "the defining challenge of our time." Yet the law most associated with his name makes that problem worse.
The misnamed Affordable Care Act is a long and complex piece of legislation, poorly understood by the senators and representatives who voted for it and even less by the bulk of the American people.
Its hidden and unintended consequences are now coming to our attention and will need to be corrected.
It remains to be seen whether anyone can come up with a cure for the reverse Robin Hood effect of this law without undermining its goals.

Powermatic S electric tobacco shredding machine. Designed for personal use, this machine will provide many pounds of fine roll your own made from whole leaf tobacco if taken care of properly.
This shredder works best with any of our whole leaf cigarette tobaccos, such as our Viriginia Flue Cured and Burley tobacco leaves. Unlike most tobacco shredders, you only need to run your leaves through this electric shredder ONCE! The Powermatic S cuts at an average of 1.5mm, and produces strands that are suitable for MYO/RYO Cigarettes.
This Electric Tobacco Leaf Shredder is the REAL DEAL! Also comes with a 1 year limited manufacturer's warranty for U.S. Residents!
Tips to prolong the life of your machine:
1. Don't run the shredder continuously for long periods - as the blades heat up, more resin is released from the tobacco and can act like glue.
2. Run the shredder in reverse after a each use - this is to help clear residue on the blades. Wait a second before going from forward to reverse.
3. Some customers have reported positive results by occasionally dabbing a bit of vegetable oil on a tobacco leaf and run it through the machine. It's been said to help dissolve some of the accumulated sticky tobacco in between the blades.
After yet another round of design modifications, We here at Leaf Only are once again offering the POWERMATIC S ELECTRIC TOBACCO LEAF SHREDDER! This time around, the engineers have really toughened up this machine for more sustained use. With a new cast alloy chassis for increased rigidity and improved gears with high quality ball bearings, this machine is built to last through many pounds of your favorite unprocessed tobacco leaf from Leaf Only.
On top of these structural improvements, the designers have also isolated the circuit board and electronics from the gears and blades to reduce and eliminate interference from dust. This, along with built-in overheating protection makes this the strongest and the most reliable Powermatic S Electric Tobacco Shredder yet!
Although this shredder CAN handle whole stems, it is ALWAYS recommended, with ANY shredder, to remove the main stem from your tobacco leaf before grinding.

Phillies' Jimmy Rollins Won't Waive His No-Trade-Clause
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to be sellers as the trade deadline approaches. But shortstop Jimmy Rollins is not willing to waive his no-trade-clause if he is part of any deal.
"There are still a couple things I would like to be number one on the lists of in this organization, so until those things are done, I'm not going anywhere," he said in published reports.
This season has not gone how Rollins and the Phillies would have liked. The team is 49-56 and are in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. With their playoff hopes fading, the team is expected to start selling off players in return for prospects.
The 34-year-old Rollins has been with the Phillies his entire Major League career. He made his debut back in 2000, and has been the team's everyday shortstop since 2001. Rollins is signed through 2014 for $11 million, and also has a 2015 option that vests for $11 million if he stays healthy and plays nearly everyday.
Rollins is second all-time in games played, at-bats, stolen bases, and plate appearances in Phillies history. He is third all-time in runs scored and fourth in hits. He also ranks in the top-10 in doubles, triples, home runs, runs batted in and walks.

Bazigou E, Lyons OT, Smith A, et al. Genes regulating lymphangiogenesis control venous valve formation and maintenance in mice. J Clin Invest. 2011;121:2984-2992.
Deep-vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and post-thrombotic syndrome all are associated with abnormalities of the bicuspid venular valves. From the time of Virchow, clinicians have recognized that stagnation of blood flow at the valve leaflet/vessel wall junction initiates microthrombus formation. Recent studies have demonstrated that aging, a significant risk factor for venous thrombosis, is associated with thickening of the venous valve leaflets, which in turn is inversely related to valve function.1 Furthermore, valvular sinus endothelium maintains a thrombo-resistant phenotype wherein expression of the anticoagulant proteins thrombomodulin and endothelial protein C receptor is up-regulated and the procoagulant protein von Willebrand factor is down-regulated, compared with vein lumen endothelium.2 Thus, understanding how venous valves operate and mature may aid in developing new therapies for venous hypertension and possibly protect valves, preventing chronic venous insufficiency. Utilizing insights derived from the morphogenesis of cardiac valvular and lymphatic endothelium, Bazigou and colleagues in the laboratory of Taija Makinen at the London Research Institute in the U.K., defined genes responsible for valve development in veins, finding a common molecular mechanism involving integrin-α9 and ephrin-B2 signaling in both veins and lymphatics.
First, the investigators showed that mouse and human venous valves share common morphologic features. Scanning electron micrograph analysis showed that the edges of valve leaflets were lined by transversely aligned fusiform cells, while the cells on the leaflet and downstream on the outflow side of the valve had a rounded morphology. In contrast, endothelial cells located upstream on the inflow side of the valve aligned in the direction of blood flow. Similar cell arrangement was observed around lymphatic valves. In developing mice, venous valves express markers of arterial and lymphatic endothelia, including ephrin-B2, integrin-α9 and its ligand, an alternatively spliced form of fibronectin known as Fn-IIIa. The molecular identity of venous valve endothelial cells was further characterized by examining the expression of prospero-related homeobox 1 (PROX1) and VEGFR3, two major regulators of lymphangiogenesis that are highly expressed in lymphatic valves. Immunofluorescence staining revealed strong and specific expression of PROX1 in the endothelial cells of developing and mature murine venous valves. PROX1 was also expressed in human venous valves. Valveselective deletion of integrin-α9 and ephrin-B2 disrupted venous valve morphogenesis, demonstrating the continuous requirement of integrin-α9 and ephrin-B2 signaling for the maintenance of venous valves. Ephrin-B2, but not integrin-α9, was additionally required for the maintenance of lymphatic valves.
These studies describe the molecular regulators of venous valves and the remarkable involvement of common morphogenetic processes and signaling pathways in controlling valve formation in veins and lymphatic vessels. Potentially, agents that modulate integrin-α9 and ephrin-B2 may prevent venous hypertension and even the post-thrombotic syndrome. Could the thickening of the valve leaflets be due to excess connective tissue matrix proteins expressed in response to stimuli such as thrombin or cytokines? Nature's parsimony is always fascinating. Might lymphatic dysfunction go hand-in-hand with venous valve dysfunction? Might the bad edema cases be a double-whammy for activating a few key mediators locally? Or might this explain the occasional patient who gets lymphedema even after superficial phlebitis?

I freaking choked when I recognized the number on the voicemail. I was so sure something was wrong. She initially had asked me if I could change my chocolate cake so that it would be more moist and chocolately, so I was keeping a worry in the back of my mind.
Well, she floored me by RAVING about the cake. It was gorgeous, it exceeded her expectations, it was perfect, everyone LOVED it, and on and on an on. Then the whole guest list told her how awesome it tasted, and she will definitely refer me, and will be glad to write up a testimonial when she gets back from her honeymoon.
I stood there in my shop with the phone in my hand and cried! All this the day after her wedding! Sniff!! Nobody has ever gone to those lengths to say "well done" to me before!
Just had to share! I did something right!
CONGRATULATIONS ! Those are the best calls ever.
Awesome Just goes to show how much all that hard work pays off ! Not that often we get that kind of praise, not to mention all the referrals you will be getting!
Good for you. What a wonderful feeling!
yay for you!!
Congratulations, very nice! (Some customers have class!!)

The Huffington Post: When we were young girls, our parents and teachers told us that one day we'd be teachers, doctors, businesswomen, and maybe even billionaires. How do we feel now that the youngest female billionaire in America (Lynsi Torres, 30) is the heiress to the In-n-Out fortune? Oh, we're fine. FINE. The universe isn't arbitrary and cruel at all.
Jezebel: Vegetables are good for you! By that transitive property, vegetarians are better than you. Vegetarians are also better than you at being infected with listeria, salmonella, norovirus, and other sorts of bad pathogens. A gold medal for vegetarians, for they win at diseases!
Eater: Chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality industry workers in Atlantic City open up about the devastating impact that Hurricane Sandy had on their livelihoods — and how long it might take to recover.
Grub Street: Thanks to legislation designed to limit the size of Big Ag dairy farms, a disproportionately huge percentage of New York's dairy output is going towards the production of Greek yogurt. We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the Greek yogurt industry has the best lobbyists. (It's a dairy industrial complex.)
The New York Times: Speaking of Sandy closings, the two-star Governor, the celebrated waterfront restaurant which opened only four months before the hurricane hit, will not reopen.

Room is open for practice.
Most enjoyable. I was much closer to the pace this week and had a good battle with Paul in the final few laps as I struggled on the hard tyres. As I said, I'm 40/60 for next week and almost certainly out after that, but thanks to @david-a for everything.
For your pleasure, here's myself and @mazdachris having an "Ooh, that's going to be expensive" moment:
Results after 33 laps:
1) Crunch630 49:17.218

3) Jake2013guy +1:29.312
4) Mazdachris +2:03.097
5) Lin1876 + 2 laps
6) Ibbo1981 + 2 laps

Good race guys. It was always going to be a struggle, and not helped by the fact I just couldn't get my setup right. Was under steering all over the place and miles off the pace. Hopefully Monza will play more to my car's strengths and I can be a bit more competitive. Still, fun regardless.
@lin1876 that was totally my fault. Span coming out of the pits like an idiot. Hope it didn't cost you too much time. Shame you won't be able to see out the rest of the season. Need you there to help represent 'proper' Le Mans cars ;-)
@mazdachris It's fine. We were both on our own at the time so it was funny more than anything. Glad I'm not the only one in a "proper" Le Mans car, when you went past the pits the noise from the Mazda more than made up for the fact I was being lapped!
@david-a Is this bigger than our little group here? I don't recall Jake, Paul and Crunch posting in this thread, and Paul mentioned something about a league this evening.
@lin1876 – Yeah, it's run on http://www.precisionracingleague.com/ , those three (plus F1Fanatic users @djdaveyp87 and @shyguy1992 ) are from over there.
@lin1876 @mazdachris @sato113 @spud
Monza on Monday. Who will be able to race, and if you are, how do you think you'll go?
@timtoo – Are you still going to join?
Unfortunately I'm out for the season. Shame, the big Jag would have been good round Monza.
Yep, I'll be racing again this week. Not sure quite how I'll go. Monza should be better suited to my car, but when I've been practicing I've been really struggling to be consistent with a low downforce setup. Particularly after the first chicane; the peaky power delivery of the car makes it hard to get a clean exit and I can see faster cars bumping me from behind there and sending me spinning. But looking at the times I think it's the only way for me to go if I'm to have any hope of a podium finish. The speed differential is just way too big when I can stick the maximum turbo on and trim off all the downforce.
Testing times between 1:35 and 1:40, but like I say, very hard to string together fast laps without running off. And that's without figuring on rain either. I think Ill just bang in 50 laps or so tonight and see if I can get properly into the groove.
Alright guys, don't know if it's still ok for people to join but I'd like too if I could, not sure if I'm quick enough though, using the Bentley Speed 8 '03 a default set up and adhering to the rules and PP you've set up I was managing to do mid 32's to mind 33's on the racing soft tyres (in the dry)… though I'm not used to having all the assists off so every 4-5 laps I'd loose a few seconds as I lost the back end coming out of the second chicane… But I'll be practicing in the wet and just doing more laps to get used to the breaking zones etc :)
But if there is room and I'm not too slow I'd love to join for at least a practice session;
Name: baldgye
Car Choice: Bentley Speed 8 '03

English football fans have been attacked in Italy by knife-wielding Ultras, leaving two seriously injured in hospital, according to reports.
Trouble flared ahead of the Europa League game between Tottenham Hotspur and Lazio in Rome later.
Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported scenes of "urban warfare" erupting on Wednesday night shortly after 1am in the Campo de Fiori with up to 100 "Ultras" - notorious troublemakers - attacking a band of Spurs fans.
Ten were left wounded with two stabbed, one of whom was believed to be critically ill.
A spokesman for Rome police confirmed seven men were injured - five Britons, one Californian and one Bangladeshi. He said a Briton, born in 1987, was severely injured and was being treated at San Camillo.
"A group of about 40 or 50 people in motorcycle helmets or with their faces covered were armed and attacked the group of English football fans drinking in Campo de Fiori square," the spokesman said.
"The more seriously injured seems to be the Briton born in 1987. The American was born in 1982."
The violence is believed to have occurred at the Drunken Ship pub as fans of the north London club were enjoying a drink. Photographs show the pub wrecked.
The newspaper reported the Lazio fans were armed with knives, baseball bats, belts and knuckle dusters and they went on to "destroy" the venue. One witness told the paper: "We feared the worst."
It is believed police made some arrests at the scene. A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed it was investigating.

Facebook Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg will do the Nasdaq honors Friday morning, marking his company's initial public offering by ringing the stock exchange's bell, meaning that he will sign a screen and press a button from the social network's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., according to reports.
The news was first tweeted by CNBC and later confirmed by TechCrunch.
Nasdaq.com will broadcast the event in real time. Watching is sure to be a nationwide spectator sport for a certain slice of the population, as the media frenzy leading up to the May 18 IPO has been rather feverish.
It appears to be full-steam ahead amid earlier rumors of a possible delay in the IPO, as Facebook documents filed today confirm that the social network will appear on the Nasdaq exchange with the symbol FB. And Bloomberg reported earlier today that shares will only be available until the close of business tomorrow.
Facebook's share price will be announced Thursday, the day before the hugely anticipated IPO.
Amendments to earlier estimates now give Facebook a value of some $77 billion, and its price-per-share is slated to be in the range of $28 to $35.
TechCrunch predicted that Zuckerberg will give a speech Friday morning, but for Facebook employees only.

Clonidin works as a presynaptic agonist of alpha-sympathomimetic receptors of the brain but also in many other tissues. It is part of balanced anesthesia in general anesthesiology as well as a sedastive agent in intensive care units, but also serves as a third-line agent in many psychiatric diseases including ADHD, schizophrenia and PTSD.
The investigators want to show whether clonidin has an procoagulatoric effect on thrombozytes of patients under double anticoagulaotirc treatment with ASS and clopidogrel. The investigators will use a flowcytometric assay to determine activation of thrombozytes when they come into contact with clonidine in vitro as well as Multiplate analyses to determine activation of thrombozytes, either thrombin.induced aggregation, ADP-induced aggregation or arachidonic acid-induced aggregation of thrombozytes.

Extra, Extra: A New Complaint Against Ford, Swimming at Toronto Beaches, and the Pride Parade's Grand Marshal
Every weekday's end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not to miss.
- It's been somewhat quiet here for a while. It's been at least a few days since a mayoral Escalade was last impounded, or a scandalous video made public. But things will likely become more eventful on Monday, when Mayor Rob Ford makes his return to City Hall. If for some reason you need to be reminded about what the next few months might have in store, why not look over an article about the complaint Democracy Watch recently filed against both Rob and Doug Ford with Toronto's integrity commissioner.
- "You've probably thought to yourself, 'Is it really safe to swim here?' For the last time: Yes!" So says the Grid, in an article about the Blue Flag program used to monitor water quality at Toronto beaches. And the Blue Flag program appears to be working as it should, because it revealed high levels of E. coli at both Cherry and Sunnyside beaches, and they've both been closed to swimming: "People can still visit the beach but are advised to stay out of the water."
- The Pride Parade is coming up on Sunday, and this year, its grand marshal will be Reverend Brent Hawkes. He's a gay rights advocate and an Order of Canada recipient, and he officiated at Canada's first legal same-sex marriage in 2001. Asked to comment on his commitment to gay rights, he responded: "I'm a stubborn Maritimer. That's the short answer. In the Maritimes, most people protect their families and friends. I've always had a passion for the underdog and to stand up against people who are discriminated against or who are oppressed."
- Novelist Kathleen Hale writes a gutting, personal, essential essay about the emotional aftermath of rape.

Good Points
Adjustable Objective, Large Turrets, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof, Lifetime Warranty, Clear Optics, Screw in Dust Covers (looks more professional), Tube is Rubber Injected
Bad Points
Range Estimating is way off
General Comments
I have had the BSA 2-7x32 AO Air Rifle Scope for about 3 months on my Gamo Hunter Sport. The rifle lets me produce better groupings than my other 4 scopes in the same price range. It holds up to anything I put it up to. The rubber injected tube holds the scope in place to help prevent scope slippage. I only recommend using the Range Estimated to about 40 yards for it to be somewhat accurate on range estimating. After 40 yards Ex. 60 yards you will have to adjust it to between 80 and infinity. It will stay sighted for a long time and with my other scopes, just a little bump would set it off. Great overall quality and value for the money, I highly recommend this for the price. I hope this review was helpful to you.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Interim Dallas City Manager A.C. Gonzalez has made some important promotions at City Hall, and restored an assistant city manager position that was trimmed when the economy turned sour.
First Assistant Police Chief Charles Cato will take off his badge and gun to become an interim assistant city manager. Cato will oversee Code Compliance, the Fire Department and the city's Office of Emergency Management.
A 24-year veteran of the police force, Cato is considered a smart officer who has led the department at a high level for years.
Assistant Police Chief Cynthia S. Villareal will take over Cato's job at the police department.
Theresa O'Donnell, a familiar face to anyone in development or construction around Dallas, will also become an interim assistant city manager. O'Donnell has directed the city's development services department for the last decade during times of boom and bust. Some of the toughest cases of who can build what where come across her desk. It's the sort of job that quickly creates critics, but O'Donnell has built a lot of respect in the development community.
Her longtime assistant director, David Cossum, will fill her role as interim director of the development department.
In other shuffles, the city's municipal courts will now report to assistant city manager Joey Zapata. And its convention services department will report to Assistant city Manager Forest Turner.
Ryan Evans will remain, on an interim basis, the first assistant city manager for the city.
Gonzalez is expected to serve as interim manager until the city selects a new city manager. That process is just getting underway and could take months. Gonzalez is expected to be a leading contender for the permanent job.

Thompson zigzags way to Lands End Hill Climb sportsman title
Larry Thompson kicked up clouds of dust and exhaust as he zigzagged up Grand Mesa.
The scene was reminiscent of "The Dukes of Hazard" as the Grand Junction resident scaled the 5.5-mile dirt track in a classic Camaro en route to wining the sportsman division of the Lands End Hill Climb on Sunday.
With a time of 5 minutes, 35.58 seconds during the first of two heats, Thompson sealed the championship despite the track crumbling under him. Two of the four competitors in the sportsman division either did not start or did not finish during the final day of the event.
"We got our practice runs in yesterday," Thompson said. "We knew where the trouble spots were and kept it straight and on the road. The first three corners of the course were breaking up. The chloride they put down to keep the dirt together started to break up, and we were junking up on the corners.
"Our cars are a little heavier (than other classes) at 3,300 to 3,400 pounds, and we're running with stock suspensions. We don't have the full-on race suspensions some of these others guys have, and we're running two-barrel carburetors, which can be tricky at elevation."
Some carburetors, if not previously outfitted with specific gauges, perform poorly as elevation increases. In a 5.5-mile climb, that can cause problems for drivers in the sportsman class.
"You're essentially going straight up the face of the mesa," Thompson said. "You don't have that on other courses in Colorado."
Jim Olson won the only truck category in 5:12.56. Olson also won the open-wheel division with the only sub-five-minute runs of the day in any class. His 4:53.74 first run was the fastest on the day, beating his second-run time of 4:57.71.
After crashing during his first run, Scott Kolm topped the pro quad division with a time of 5:25.78. Jeff Regester, the current rally car points leader, won the all-wheel-drive class with a time of 5:12.85.
Lands End wants to expand
The Lands End Hill Climb is already the longest all-dirt hill climb in Colorado. If it was to expand to the top of the Mesa, a little more than 10 miles, it would be one of the longest all-dirt tracks in the country. The expansion would push further into Grand Mesa National Forest, and the idea has received a cool reception from the Forest Service, according to Colorado Hill Climb Association chief steward Wade Reneck.
For drivers, it would provide an all-dirt rival to Colorado's world-class paved hill climb, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The "Race to the Clouds" is a 12.5-mile track west of Colorado Springs that climbs nearly 5,000 feet.
"If (the Lands End Hill Climb) were to expand, it'd be the premier all-dirt track in the country," Thompson said.
Paul Dallenbach, who broke the Lands End record in 1994, added, "There's issues with the Forest Service. For us, it's mostly logistics, getting the manpower. If you extend it two miles, you get racers from Texas and California. If you run to the top, you'll draw international competitors."

Joo Won is the 'Wink King' in '7th Grade Civil Servant'
It's not just guns Joo Won will be firing off in his new drama, but winks as well.
MBC revealed new still cuts from the upcoming 7th Grade Civil Servant drama featuring lead actor, Joo Won.
Wearing a big pair of headphones over his head and casually dressed, Joo Won's Gil Ro is seen in high spirits and strutting down the street as he fires off winks at a few girls.
The pictures reflect Joo Won's character, who aspires to be like James Bond but also lives by the motto, 'live life in a fun manner'.
The scenes were filmed in the Dongdaemun area of Seoul. Despite the frigid temperatures on the day of shooting, Joo Won cheerfully shot, and re-shot, his scene with the extras and finally successfully shooting the scene after a couple tries.
The drama's production added, "The actors are being met with encouraging fans when they shoot in public which is acting as a big source of strength for us. The passion in this dr,ama is hot enough to melt away the cold temperatures and we will present to you a high-quality drama."
7th Grade Civil Servant premieres in January on MBC

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
In the Who do you want to see interviewed next? blog post I asked for some names of people who YOU would like to see interviewed. Craig Freedman's name was submitted in comments a couple of times. I contacted Craig and am happy to anounce that he has agreed to do this.
Before you think of any questions please visit Craig's blog first(http://blogs.msdn.com/craigfr/) to get a feel of what kind of questions to ask. It would make sense to keep the questions focused on query processing, query execution, and query plans. I told Craig that if he doesn't like a question that he does not have to answer it.
You can submit questions until Monday May 12th and then I will forward the questions to Craig
Time is almost up; this is the last chance to submit your questions to Erland Sommarskog and Craig Freedman


text: Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the nn package. The package description is: The motto of nn is its expanded name, which is "No News is good news, but nn is better", and the nn newsreader is designed to let you minimize the amount of time you spend reading news (or, more realistically, to allow you to follow even more newsgroups :-). . Nn allows you to quickly select articles of interest and skip the rest. It also supports efficient article killing and selection of articles by author and subject. . This version of nn reads news from a news server via NNTP (the Network News Transfer Protocol), and can make use of your NNTP server's NOV database, if configured. You must have a news server available - large sites usually provide a site-wide server. (For those familiar with 'nn', this is a client-only version.)


text: The family and I spent 8 nights at the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Lake Buena Vista from 2/16 through 2/24. We enjoyed our stay very much. Here are the details: We arrived at the Vistana at about 3:30 and checked in. The resort was very easy to find and minutes off of Interstate 4. It made an impressive first impression. I had pre-registered with their diamond-check-in over the internet a week earlier. I was able to go to a special check-in line because of that. There was a special check-in area for the kids with face painting. The lobby was beautiful and the grounds nicely kept. We were given our room keys and we were off to our room in the cascades section of the resort. The cascades section was the newest section of the resort. Upon entry into our room all we could say was WOW! We had a large two-bedroom villa. There was a nice kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed (minus food). The master bedroom had a Jacuzzi tub as well as a full bathroom. There were three TVs. There was even a small stereo with a three-disk CD changer so the kids could play their music! The rooms were very nicely decorated and everything was clean and functional. There was also a nice balcony overlooking a pond with ducks. After this place the wife and I knew we would never look at a hotel room the same way again. We got our swimsuits on and went exploring. At first I was overwhelmed by the size of the Vistana resort. There are so many sections (8?) and pools (7). We had a map to find our way around but after a day we became familiar with the place and its layout. The first stop was the cascades pool. This was the newest pool and it was big and beautiful. Nicely setup for the kids with an overhead waterfall and a large 1-foot deep play section with rubber islands and spray fountains. There was nice new furniture and a hot tube for 12. We found that everyone knows this is the newest and best pool and it is usually the busiest with families but that wasnâÂÂt a problem. We ate dinner at the resort on Friday night. They had a prime rib dinner special for $15.95 each. The dinner was not very good. Salads were weak and arrived late. We were still working on them when the dinners arrived. Prime ribs were okay but the portions were small. The smoothie drinks were good. The restaurant location was nice over looking a pond in the Fountains section. A mandatory 15% tip was added to the bill. I would not have left a 15% tip for the quality of the food and service we received. We were not happy with the dinner and did not eat dinner at the resort again. We drove down 535 to 192 in Kissimmee to get our groceries at the Publix as recommended by other board members. Prices were good and we stocked our fridge. Saturday we hung out at the resort all day and enjoyed the sun and cascades pool. We ordered a pizza from the pizza hut along with a few appetizers from the bar and ate lunch at the pool. It was very nice having come from cold Connecticut just two days earlier. All the pools are heated so you can swim even when the temp. drops into the 60s. A couple of nights we came back from the parks late but still went out for a swim due to the heated pools. Another nice feature was that a couple of the pools (including the cascades) are open until 1:00am. We visited 3 of the other pools during our stay including the springs, slide, and super pool. They were all very nice. I was able to join a water volleyball game at the Superpool which was a lot of fun. The hot tubs were nice as well. On Monday I agreed to sit through the timeshare sales pitch at the resort. They gave us a free continental breakfast and opened up the game room for the kids and watched them for us. I was interested in how the deal worked so I wanted to go. Our sales person was very nice until I started to question her âÂÂfuzzyâ math. Then her attitude changed but that was fine. They tried to get me interested in a new unit at their new development in Orlando called the Vistana village at $16K. Then we talked about a cascades until at $12K. IâÂÂve seen units in the other areas trade on Ebay for as little as $3K and there are resellers all over the place so you can do a lot better. IâÂÂm not ready for a time-share yet but a least I know how it works. They gave us a check for $100 for sitting through the presentation and we picked up some drinks and snacks before we left. It took about 90 minutes to go through the entire thing. I did not feel any great pressure to purchase. They gave up easy and we had a $100 for the 4 of us(my in-laws were there too). I think you can do even better in ticket savings if you purchase from them. We stayed at the resort for a number of days during our trip and enjoyed the pools. Housekeeping kept our room nice and clean and even did the dishes. The complex is very secure with a manned gate at each entrance. There were many activities planned each day but we only took advantage of a few of them. The kids did a Tie-dye tee shirt craft. We played the miniature golf course once which was okay. Nothing special but my daughter tried a hula-hoop game at the pool one day and they gave her a free pass. To play the miniature golf course it cost $3 each or you can pay $5 for an all you can play pass good for one day. The tennis courts looked very nice. People were taking lessons. The work out rooms looked nice. There were many playgrounds. It was nice to have the general store even though the prices were high. The location of the resort was great. Being only minutes from Route 4 and Downtown Disney it was very convenient. There were many places to eat nearby. I would highly recommend the Vistana. They did a nice job and I would visit the resort again. The rooms are large and comfortable. I got a good rate on the room through Hotelkingdom.com at $165.90 a night. The AAA rate was $205. If you have any questions please send me an Email.

Man charged with parental abduction
DICKINSON, N.D. — A New England, N.D., native was recently arrested on suspicion of felony parental abduction of his 2-year-old daughter, according to authorities in Louisiana.
Jesse J. Rebel, 32, was picked up last month after a traffic stop in Mansfield, La., according to DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle. An employee at the DeSoto Parish Jail said Rebel remained in custody Thursday afternoon, though he is awaiting extradition to California, where he has been charged.
Shae Rebel, 2, was reported missing in November by her mother and California resident Brandi Rebel. She was found safe and, according to Arbuckle, placed in the care of the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services.
Arbuckle said Jesse Rebel was pulled over Jan. 29 for a traffic stop when a parish deputy discovered a warrant for Rebel's arrest had been issued by the Santa Clarita Valley (Calif.) Sheriff's Station. He was arrested without incident.
Dave Campbell, a detective with the sheriff's station, said Thursday that Rebel's charges carry a sentence of two to four years in county jail. Campbell said the Rebels moved to California from North Dakota about a year ago.

You'd basically need (a) a non-locale-aware set of comparison operators for type text --- you might as well build a whole index opclass, so that non-locale-aware indexes could be made (this'd be a huge win for LIKE optimization too); (b) a strxfrm() function to produce the sortable strings. If it turns out to be a big win, which is looking probable from the comparisons Stephan and I just reported, then the next question is how to make the transformation occur automatically. I think it'd be relatively simple to put a hack in the planner to do this when it's emitting a SORT operation that uses the locale-aware sort operators. It'd be kind of an ugly special case, but surely no worse than the ones that are in there already for LIKE and some other operators. regards, tom lane

[MLS ALL-STAR GAME] MLS's all-stars have defeated some good teams, but their 3-2 win over reigning Chelsea in the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game tops the
bunch. This wasn't the first time the MLS XI beat the Blues -- it also did it in 2006 -- but this win was special. Chelsea is the reigning European champion.
AMERICAN HEROES. David Beckham and Thierry Henry -- the two players Chelsea is very familiar with -- had solid games for the MLS all-stars, but the stars were goal scorers Chris Wondolowski (set up by Henry), Chris Pontius (the All-Star Game MVP) and Eddie Johnson (who scored the winner in the 91st minute)
BACK ON TRACK. MLS had won four straight All-Star Games -- Fulham (4-1), Chelsea (1-0), Celtic (2-0) and West Ham (3-2) -- before losing to Everton in a shootout in 2009. But 5-2 and 4-0 losses to Manchester United cast some doubt about the wisdom of scheduling the mid-season classic against a big European club. Another regular summer tourist has been Barcelona, but MLS has heretofore not paired its all-stars against the Spanish giants. Perhaps next summer?
PHILLY WELCOME. The Philadelphia fans lived up to their reputation as some of the roughest fans in American sports, chanting "your captain is a racist" at Chelsea captain John Terry, recently acquitted of criminal charges he racially abused Queen's Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game last October.
July 25 in Chester, Pa.
MLS All-Stars 3 Chelsea 2. Wondolowski 21, Pontius (De Rosario, Beckham) 73, Johnson (Beckerman, Pontius); Terry (Lampard) 32, Lampard (Ramires) 58.

Researchers found graphic warnings on cigarette packets were more effective than text-only warnings in getting consumers to consider the dangers of smoking.
Image credit: Ohio State
Lead study author Abigail Evans, a postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State University, and colleagues publish their findings in the journal PLOS One.
In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a final rule that required tobacco companies to include color graphics on cigarette packets that depict the negative health implications of smoking.
In 2012, however, a US federal appeals court overturned the ruling, claiming the images put forward by the FDA were "unconstitutional" and were "unabashed attempts to evoke emotion [...] and browbeat consumers into quitting."
According to Evans and colleagues, their findings suggest the decision to overturn the FDA's rule based on these grounds was wrong; the team says the graphic images do not "browbeat" consumers, and though they do evoke emotion in smokers, the researchers say these emotions make people think more carefully about the health risks of smoking.
"What the court is missing is that without emotions, we can't make decisions," says study coauthor Ellen Peters, professor of psychology at Ohio State. "We require having feelings about information we collect in order to feel motivated to act. These graphic warnings helped people to think more carefully about the risks and to consider them more."
Feelings produced by graphic images 'acted as a spotlight'
The team reached their conclusion by assessing 244 adults of an average age of 34 who smoked between 5-40 cigarettes a day.
For 4 weeks, smokers were given their preferred brand of cigarettes in packaging that had been modified; some packets contained warning text only - such as "cigarettes cause fatal lung disease" - some contained warning text plus one of nine graphics depicting the dangers of smoking, while others consisted of warning text, graphics plus additional text detailing the risk of every cigarette smoked.
- Around 17 in every 100 adults in the US currently smoke cigarettes
- Smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the US
- More than 16 million Americans in the US live with a smoking-related disease.
The warning graphics used were developed by the FDA and contained disturbing images, such as a man smoking through a hole in his throat, depicting a surgical procedure known as a tracheostomy that is a result of some smoking-related cancers.
Each week for the 4-week period, smokers collected their cigarettes from the lab and completed surveys detailing how the new packaging made them feel about smoking.
Compared with participants who received text-only packaging, those who received packaging with graphic warnings were more likely to read or look closely at the information, were more likely to remember the information, and were more likely to report that the packaging made them feel worse about smoking.
"The feelings produced by the graphic images acted as a spotlight," notes Peters. "Smokers looked more carefully at the packages and, as a result, the health risks fell into the spotlight and led to more consideration of those risks."
In addition, smokers who received packaging with graphic warnings were also more likely to view the information as more "credible" than those who received text-only packaging, and they were also slightly more likely to say they planned to quit smoking.
"For a health issue like smoking, which causes about a half-million deaths a year in the United States, even small effects can have a large impact in the population," says Peters. "The effect was small, but it was not unimportant."
Overall, the researchers say their findings show graphic warnings are more effective than text-only warnings for getting consumers to consider the health risks of smoking. They add:
"Policies requiring such labels have the potential to reduce the number of Americans who smoke. The effect induced by graphic warning labels appears to have utility in communicating more and more credible information, useful to promoting risk perceptions and quit intentions among smokers in the US and around the world."
This research supports another study reported by Medical News Today earlier this year, which found a combination of health warning graphics and text on cigarette packets increased knowledge about the dangers of smoking among young adults, compared with text-only warnings.

Brown Pride gang leader behind bars
Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:34:53 GMT —
A gang leader is behind bars after allegedly giving the order for a shooting where a 16-year-old girl was shot in the face.
Jose Killer Garcia is behind bars under an attempted capital murder charge.
The Brown Pride gang leader is accused of giving approval for a shooting in Lopezville that ended with two people associated with the rival Chicano gang being shot.
One of the victims, a 16-year-old girl, remains in stable but critical condition in a San Antonio hospital after being shot in the face.
Hidalgo County Sheriff TMs Office deputies told Action 4 News that investigators started surveillance on Garcia TMs girlfriend Cynthia Ann Hernandez after the shooting.
She allegedly led deputies to a home off 1st Street and Business 77 in Harlingen.
Deputies said both Garcia and Hernandez left the home in a car but Harlingen police pulled them over.
The two were arrested without incident.
Both Garcia and Hernandez are expected to face a judge at the Hidalgo County Jail at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Garcia is facing an attempted capital murder charge while Hernandez is facing a hindering apprehension charge.

The Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) is organizing a show at Dubai Airport Expo to run January 31 through February 1. The gathering will include a conference, an exhibition floor, a static display and chalets, and is planned as an annual event. Formed early this year in Dubai, the not-for-profit organization hopes to have 30 to 40 members by December.
At press time, the event–dubbed MEBA 2007 and exhibiting here at Booth No. 4684–was not fully launched and the schedule was still tentative. UK-based trade show specialist Fairs & Exhibitions (F&E) and MEBAA were still negotiating commercial terms. A partnership agreement was signed in July at the Farnborough airshow between MEBAA chairman Ali Ahmed Al Naqbi and F&E chairman Virginia Kern.
F&E is promoting the event as an expansion of the one-day Middle East Business Aviation conference held last November. The new annual show is scheduled to move from location to location around the Middle East. A target size for the show is still to be determined. MEBA has approached some 180 companies. In July, handler Jordan Private Jets was the first company to sign up for MEBA 2007.
The first MEBAA board meeting, on September 20, confirmed the names of the board members. All the companies represented are founding members (see box).
The association's membership region includes 20 countries ranging from Algeria to Israel and Yemen. Those members with voting rights are operators and suppliers. (In other business aviation associations, such as NBAA and Europe's EBAA, suppliers have no voting rights.) Operator/supplier members pay a $3,500 annual fee, while affiliate members pay $1,750 (rates were lower for founding members). Affiliate members are defined as those with continuing interests in business aviation within the Middle East. They have no voting rights.
Al Naqbi is the founding chairman and his initial term is two years. He also is the vice president of finance and administration of Abu Dhabi-based Amiri Flight. Each board member is elected or appointed for a term of three years. David Paddock, managing officer of SH&E, a U.S.-based air transport consulting firm that the MEBAA has contracted to handle all of the association's start-up aspects, told NBAA Convention News that Al Naqbi is expected to have a permanent position on the board.
The fledgling organization, he said, wants "to serve the needs of [its] members in ways that enhance safety, security, efficiency and acceptance of business aviation throughout the region." For example, MEBAA founders want to share best practices with other business aviation associations. They also want to lobby for more effective overflight rights.

General Notes: Husband - Charlemagne , King of Franks, Holy Roman Emperor
His name in Latin is Carolus Magnus (Charles the Great), who led his
Frankish armies to victory over numerous other peoples and established his
rule in most of western and central Europe. He was the best-known and most
influential king in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Early Years
In 751 Pepin the Short dethroned the last Merovingian king and assumed the
royal title himself. He was crowned by Pope Stephen II in 754. Besides
anointing Pepin, Pope Stephen anointed both Charlemagne and his younger
brother Carloman.
Within the year Pepin invaded Italy to protect the pope against the
Lombards, and in 756 he again had to rush to the pope's aid. From 760 on,
Pepin's main military efforts went into the conquest of Aquitaine, the
lands south of the Loire River. Charlemagne accompanied his father on most
of these expeditions.
When Pepin died in 768, the rule of his realms was to be shared between
his two sons. Charlemagne sought an alliance with the Lombards by marrying
the daughter of their king, Desiderius (reigned 757-74). In 771 Carloman
died suddenly. Charlemagne then seized his territories, but Carloman's
heirs took refuge at the court of Desiderius. By that time Charlemagne had
repudiated his wife, and Desiderius was no longer friendly. In 772, when
Pope Adrian I appealed to Charlemagne for help against Desiderius, the
Frankish king invaded Italy, deposed his erstwhile father-in-law (774),
and himself assumed the royal title. He then journeyed to Rome and
reaffirmed his father's promise to protect papal lands. As early as 772
Charlemagne had fought onslaughts of the heathen Saxons on his lands.
Buoyed by his Italian success, he now (775) embarked on a campaign to
conquer and Christianize them. That campaign had some initial success but
was to drag on for 30 years, in which time he conducted many other
campaigns as well. He fought in Spain in 778; on the return trip his rear
guard, led by Roland, was ambushed, a story immortalized in The Song of
Roland. In 788 he subjected the Bavarians to his rule, and between 791 and
796 Charlemagne's armies conquered the empire of the Avars (corresponding
roughly to modern Hungary and Austria).
Having thus established Frankish rule over so many other peoples,
Charlemagne had in fact built an empire and become an emperor. It remained
only for him to add the title. On Christmas Day, in 800, Charlemagne knelt
to pray in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Pope Leo III then placed a
crown upon his head, and the people assembled in the church acclaimed him
the great, pacific emperor of the Romans.
Charlemagne's biographer, Einhard, reported that the king was surprised by
this coronation and that had he known it was going to happen, he would not
have gone into the church that day. This report has led to much
speculation by historians. Charlemagne probably desired and expected to
get the imperial title and he subsequently used it. In 813 he designated
his sole surviving son, Louis, as his successor, and personally crowned
Charlemagne established a more permanent royal capital than had any of his
predecessors. His favorite residence from 794 on was at Aix-la-Chapelle.
He had a church and a palace constructed there, based in part on
architectural borrowings from Ravenna and Rome. At his court he gathered
scholars from all over Europe, the most famous being the English cleric
Alcuin of York, whom he placed in charge of the palace school.
Administration of the empire was entrusted to some 250 royal
administrators called counts. Charlemagne issued hundreds of decrees,
called capitularies, dealing with a broad range of topics from judicial
and military matters to monasteries, education, and the management of
royal estates.
The empire did not expand after 800; indeed, already in the 790s the
seacoasts and river valleys experienced the first, dreaded visits of the
Vikings. Charlemagne ordered a special watch against them in every harbor,
but with little effect. He died before their full, destructive force was
unleashed on the empire.
Charlemagne is important not only for the number of his victories and the
size of his empire, but for the special blend of tradition and innovation
that he represented. On the one hand, he was a traditional Germanic
warrior, who spent most of his adult life fighting. In the Saxon campaigns
he imposed baptism by the sword, and he retaliated against rebels with
merciless slaughter. On the other hand, he placed his immense power and
prestige at the service of Christian doctrine, the monastic life, the
teaching of Latin, the copying of books, and the rule of law. His life,
held up as a model to most later kings, thus embodied the fusion of
Germanic, Roman, and Christian cultures that became the basis of European

Stern Admits Scheduling Error
Published: May 9, 2006
N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern acknowledged that it was a mistake to schedule the San Antonio Spurs to open the Western Conference semifinals with an early game on Sunday.
''If we had it to do over again, we wouldn't have acceded to the network's request on that one,'' Stern said Monday night.
San Antonio wrapped up its first-round series in Sacramento so late on Friday night that it was after midnight in Texas. The Spurs spent the night in Sacramento and did not arrive back in San Antonio until about 3 p.m. on Saturday.
They tipped off their series with Dallas at noon, local time, on Sunday because ABC wanted to show the Cleveland-Detroit game in the more attractive later time slot.
''We could lay it off on the network, but that's our responsibility and we have the ability to say no,'' Stern said. ''And we should have.''
Despite the short turnaround, San Antonio won the game, 87-85.
Stern also said the N.B.A. would probably change its playoff seeding format.
''I think we're just talking about taking the four teams in each conference with the best records and seeding them one through four,'' he said.
Under the current format, the three division champions earn the top three seedings, followed by the remaining team with the best record. That's why San Antonio and Dallas are meeting in the second round, even though they have the two best records in the West.

Hi Mo
Thanks for your speedy reply. I was running version 0.1.0, so just updated to 0.2.0 (though could have sworn I downloaded them from the same place...)
Have flushed all I can think of (db, dv, menus page, admin page), but am seeing a new problem now:
When I go to menus, I see Custom Menus in the left pane, but when I click on one of the menus it loads up a page in the right pane - seems to be corresponding the custom menu item with the equivalent page in the list. I know these are linked because when I make a change to one of these and then go to the content tab that change is still there.
Does it help if I make you a guest login? This is a test site so doesn't matter if stuff gets broken.
