|Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

This is a fun route to do to add a pitch when you climb the Headache.
The anchor bolts need to be updated.

|Agree with Josh. I thought this route was great, really fun and interesting climbing, but I wouldn't recommend anyone do this route until the anchor is replaced. Also, you might as well replace the old 1/4" bolt protecting the crux move, and probably should lower it 3 feet so you can actually clip it before you do the move. Wish I had my bolt kit with me, but alas I live too far away to expect to come back to this soon.

PLEASANT HILL — Firefighters quickly contained a one-alarm fire Friday night at an apartment building in Pleasant Hill.
No injuries were reported.
The fire broke out about 6:30 p.m. inside a building at 555 Chollo Court, an East Contra Costa Fire Protection District dispatcher said. A spokesman for the department said via Twitter said that the apartment was fully engulfed, but that the fire was under control just before 7 p.m.
The building is off Old Quarry Road just north of Golf Club Road, near the Diablo Valley College campus.

WALKING into a new club for the first time can be confronting, but spare a thought for Tom Hickey.
Hickey was rapt to secure a move from Gold Coast to St Kilda in the trade period. But as the promising 21-year-old explained today, one of the first things he had to do was clear the air with his new ruck partner Ben McEvoy.
St Kilda's new tandem act had a run-in early last season. If that wasn't awkward enough, when the sides met again in Round 11 Hickey's direct opponent, Jason Blake, broke his Brownlow duck after 12-and-a-half voteless seasons.
"Actually, I remember copping a bit of a spray (from McEvoy) in Round 2 after he sort of schooled me a bit,'' Hickey said.
"I actually brought it up with him to get it out of the way. I brought that up and also Jason Blake got his first votes against me as well, so I thought I'd get it all out there.
"It's all a bit of cheeky banter.''
Pick Me: The Saints like the next Jeremy Cameron
Hickey was joined at Seaford by fellow off-season captures Tom Lee and Trent Dennis-Lane.
See pics of the Saints' recruits at pre-season training HERE
Lee, who was on Adelaide's list in 2009, has matured into an agile 195cm forward capable of the spectacular, while Dennis-Lane arrives from Sydney after injuries curtailed his early promise.
He is looking forward to more opportunities.
"Obviously, any team that wins a flag doesn't have many injuries and doesn't play that many players … at the end of the year the opportunity arose … and I couldn't pass up this opportunity," Dennis-Lane said.
St Kilda gave up picks 12 and 13 in the national draft for Lee and Hickey, but Saints coach Scott Watters said he expected both to be decade-long players after admiring their development from a distance.
Meanwhile, veteran midfielder Lenny Hayes joined teammates for training today after recovering from post-season heart surgery.
Watters said Hayes was on a modified program but he would join teammates for their high-altitude training camp in Colorado at the end of the month.

At the recent Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) trade show in a Chicago suburb, somewhere between the booths of store brand olives and gigantic bags of dog chow, private label personal care and cosmetics companies continued to spread their message: We're producing strong products, we're competing successfully and we're growing. As outlined in Private Label Still Generic? in the October issue of GCI, private label is standing tall next to leading brand names on store shelves worldwide—competing in formulation, packaging and labeling at a lesser cost. Private label sales are approximately US$75 billion annually (US$89.4 billion), according to a report by Citigroup Smith Barney, and are effectively mirroring branded formulas by utilizing a brand equivalency strategy.
In addition, according to PLMA, store brands continue to be an important growth factor for U.S supermarkets and drugstore chains, with private label achieving a record 13.1% market share in terms of units. Private label dollar sales were up approximately 3.5% in drugstore chains (a strong and appropriate outlet for personal care products) compared to 0.4% for national brands. McKenna Labs, Inc., a private label manufacturer, has had an average sales increase of more than 200% over the past four years, allowing it to expand its skin care capabilities.
Once limited to commodity products and simple formulas, private label is competing with the sophisticated skin care formulas of high-priced brands and spa products.
Perception still can be a barrier into the market for private label manufacturers, and overcoming perception is complicated when stores settle for the lowest contract bidder even if that bidder has no actual manufacturing capability, which sacrifices quality and perpetuates negative perceptions.
"The key to changing the perception is quality, packaging, marketing and today's technology," says Sheryl Singer, national sales manager, McKenna Labs, Inc. "Advanced raw materials allow high quality products to be created for almost every purpose. Consumer awareness is higher than ever. They know what to look for when comparing products. You won't often see the 'generic' brand on today's shelves."

text: West Virginia State ready to bury recent football past By Rick Ryan August 24, 2013 Story Share INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- It's been a year of new beginnings at West Virginia State.New athletic facilities are popping up around the Institute campus, the school's sports teams are ready to set sail with the fledgling Mountain East Conference and the football program sports a new coach.The Yellow Jackets just hope the changes don't stop there.West Virginia State has posted only two winning records in football since 1992, and has gone 3-28 combined the past three seasons.Incoming coach Jon Anderson, 36, who worked with an NAIA powerhouse program in Sioux Falls (S.D.), looks to complete the metamorphosis at State."The vision that was sold to me throughout the interview process,'' Anderson said, "was that what had been done here wasn't good enough, and that was obvious through the records. But there has been administrative support and significant investment not only in football, but in all athletics that made this a very attractive job for me and for my family and for the assistant coaches who have come here with us as well.''Anderson, who was part of three national championships in his 11 years of coaching at Sioux Falls, fancies himself much like the workers toiling on the school's new convocation center - constructing something from the ground up."To be able to build something was very intriguing to me,'' he said Saturday during West Virginia State's fall sports media day held on campus. "I've been in a program that had been very successful for quite a while, and it was a great experience. We did it for a long time, and I'm blessed to have coached a lot of great athletes and worked with some great coaches. But I wanted a challenge to see if what we did there and what I had learned there through that process can work someplace else. I always think it's so rewarding when you build something and get to that level of success as opposed to maintaining a level of success.''Anderson said there's been a lot of competition for playing time during preseason workouts, with 38 returnees dotting a roster that currently has 97 players."All the old guys are looking over their shoulders,'' Anderson said, "and looking at pressure from the new guys that can play. And the young kids - they're too young to know any better, so they're just going to go out and play. So that's exciting and it's also nerve-wracking and it's also frustrating, to coach as many young kids as we are in some spots.''Running back LeFloyd Phillips, a fifth-year senior, has seen dramatic changes in the past few months since Anderson came on board. "It's a whole new coaching staff,'' Phillips said, "and 30, 40 new players came in. It's really a different team when you look at it."It's exciting. New stuff is always exciting. Everyone's bought into the program, and we're looking forward to going into this new conference and playing new teams, stuff like that.''Phillips said all the change is making it easier for players to forget the problems of recent seasons. "When you look at the record from last year, 2-9, well, it's just now we're really a different team with different schemes on offense and different schemes on defense, different coaches. So we don't really worry about last year, we just look forward.''State opens its new beginning on Sept. 7 at Lock Haven (Pa.), then begins a 10-game swing against MEC schools, playing every other member of the new league except Wheeling Jesuit, which doesn't have football.Two of the three out-of-state schools that joined nine members of the former West Virginia Conference pay a visit to State's Lakin Field this season - Urbana (Ohio) on Oct. 5 and Notre Dame (Ohio) on Nov. 2. The Jackets visit Virginia-Wise on Oct. 26.Anderson was asked if it was an advantage or disadvantage to be joining a new league at the same time his football program was undergoing an overhaul."It's completely different for everybody,'' he said. "There are three new [coaching] staffs and three new teams. Maybe we don't stand out as much now as we would have a couple of years ago when it had been status quo in the old conference."So from our standpoint it's a bit of an advantage in that, yes, we're an unknown, but there are also other teams that are unknowns to us. We've done as much research and film study as we can, and we'll be very basic and sound in our schemes and be able to adapt and grow as we go. "But the biggest thing that we don't know is: What is the level of play? Everything looks great on film, but my staff is coming primarily from three very good Division II conferences in the Midwest - high-level Division II football.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or email@example.com.

Understanding Global Supply Chains and Seafood Markets for the Rebuilding Prospects of Northern Gulf Cod Fisheries
Although fisheries production and seafood trade are global in scope, with billions of dollars in exports, the rebuilding of collapsed fisheries often focus on national fisheries policy and management measures, with little attention to global supply chains and international consumer markets. Even with two moratoria and two decades of policy changes since the Northern Gulf cod fisheries collapsed in eastern Canada, rebuilding has stalled and the fishing industry and coastal communities continue to undergo challenges with economic viability and resource sustainability. This paper examines and analyzes the global supply chain and marketing dimension of Northern Gulf cod fisheries. Drawing upon fisheries bioeconomics and governance theory, a pre- and post-collapse analysis is undertaken to understand key drivers and institutional mechanisms along global fish supply chains for an effective and successful rebuilding. Findings indicate that the collapse of the cod fishery has cascading effects that go beyond ecosystem changes to new harvesting activities, industry restructuring, supply chain reorganization, new global markets and consumer preference for certified seafood. This suggests that a holistic rebuilding approach is necessary, one that integrates institutional and behavioral changes for both producers and consumers at various scales of fisheries production, political economy issues, as well as cross-scale policies on marine conservation and regional economic development.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi Kathy,
I understand your fear. Remembering what happened to you feels as if you are reliving parts of your trauma. But your therapist is right, this is a good sign. It means you feel safe enough now to allow the memories to come back through flashbacks.
It is important to remember that these memories are just echoes of your assault. You are never going to go through the assault again. You already survived it, and what you feel is just the thoughts and feelings from the assault. They cannot hurt you. The assault did but you lived through that and are a survivor. You are safe now.
You are no longer stuck in the past. You are now moving forward. This is probably why you feel fear and apprehension. But this is a very good thing. Anticipation of the next feeling or flashback is frightening. But you can do some things to help yourself.
Write down comforting thoughts. Things like "I am ok" "People care about me" "I have done this before and have been fine"
List people you can call when you experience a flashback. Support can make a big difference.
Think of things you can do in response when you feel bad. A bubble bath, a drive around the block, cup of tea, whatever makes you feel better.
Keep a diary. Write out your feelings, progress and things that help you. This can serve to not only see how far you have come, but as a distraction when you feel bad.
Whatever you do to help yourself, don't try to prevent your flashbacks from coming. Accepting the flashbacks can help them go smoother and help your treatment progress. I know this is hard. But you are well on your way to feeling better. You are strong and resilient. These flashbacks feel bad but you are working through them. And to have flashbacks is very common with PTSD. It is part of recovery. So what you are experiencing is very normal.
Thanks Kate. You provided me with some very good suggestions on how I can help myself deal with these flashbacks.
I know I am not going through the assault again but it certainly feels like it at the time. Plus, they do not always happen at a good time. But I do not think I have control over this.
You're welcome. I am glad to help.
I understand. It is disturbing to feel like you are going through the assault again. But it is very normal. Your mind is trying to find a way to incorporate the memories of the assault. After the assault, your mind repressed them because they were too traumatic to take in. To relive them again, even just through your memory, would have been too upsetting. But now that you are feeling safe, your mind is allowing the memories to surface. If you kept them repressed, you would just continue to have the symptoms you are having now, and the strain of trying not to remember would be high.
That is why your flashbacks are good. It is a sign your mind is trying to work the memories in and bring you back to normal emotional wellbeing. You are a healthy person who is trying to cope with a horrible event. You will not feel this way forever because your mind will not let you. Allowing your mind to work to accept the assault is not easy, but it is very healthy. Keep relying on all the support around you, leaning in as much as you need to. If a flashback happens at a bad time, just excuse yourself quickly (I don't feel well is always a good and understandable excuse) and find a private place until it passes. Call a support person if you can. Find ways to express how you feel and reach out as often as you can. Take extra care of yourself. Reading about PTSD and how normal your reaction is will also help (let me know if you need some recommendations) This is a difficult time. But you are safe and cared for. Soon this will pass and you will feel better.

LARGO — With high temperatures and humidity (not to mention frequent thunderstorms) keeping us from enjoying the outdoors, now's a good time for a landscape painting show that gives us our nature hit in indoors comfort.
You'll find a refreshing one at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art, not the usual realistic/romantic palms, beaches and glades but interesting interpretations of such vistas by three Florida State University art professors.
"A Mysterious Clarity" features the work of Ray Burggraf, Mark Messersmith and Lilian Garcia-Roig. Their paintings are intermixed to encourage comparisons of the individual points of view. I was skeptical of that decision on first sighting; my immediate impression was that Messersmith's baroque landscapes overwhelmed the cerebral abstractions of Burggraf and Garcia-Roig's more subdued palette. But time in the galleries, getting close and long views of the paintings individually and together, revealed their individual and collective strengths.
Lovely, but frightening
Messersmith's large narratives provoke an immediate in-your-face response. If ever you need an illustration for the cautionary "don't go near the water," look no further. Creatures teem above and below swamp surfaces, murky and dark, painted in clashing, lurid colors lit by everyday sources (sun, moon, lanterns) that shed both focused brilliance and menace on a scene.
The animals and men inhabiting this world are equally strange. Each work has three components. The main one is the painting; below it Messersmith constructs small shadow boxes, horizontally arranged, that reference tangentially the central story. Above the painting is a carved relief of animals encapsulating the story line. Sometimes Messersmith hangs an object, or several, in front of the painting to further emphasize the narrative.
For example, Vespertine Sacrifice refers to nocturnal activities in a cypress swamp ("vespertine" refers to night), and we see a wild-eyed panther in a standoff with several really scary alligators (at least I think they're gators; the scales look more furry than reptilian) while an owl, moths and a blue heron hover about. The moon throws a blue light over all except the perimeter, which glows with an eerie orange from an unseen source, perhaps a fire. The carved overpanel has a rabbit fleeing creatures that are equal parts reptile and mammal. Below, in the shadow boxes, are more instances of the stalkers and stalked.
It's violent, but beautiful, and honors the laws of nature in an unflinching way. A twig ladder that seems an intrusive man-made element is hung in front of the painting, but it refers to the elaborately constructed "ladders" of branches and tree trunks on which the animals perch. Man and civilization make appearances in other works as spoilers even scarier than the animals.

Burggraf's sculptural paintings induce an opposite reaction, inviting contemplation with smooth, glassy paint applied to pieces of shaped wood that form a second harmonious pattern. They are mostly abstractions of natural cycles, using colors that modulate to suggest the changing colors of a sunset or the movement of air and clouds. Dead Blue Parrot and Jungle Arc are a visit to the tropics, with sprightly colors and shapes suggesting fronds and feathers and even a bright orange beak diving earthward.
Flashes in the forest
This is billed as a Florida landscape exhibition, but many of Garcia-Roig's paintings appear to portray northeastern woods. She loads up her canvases with thick impasto of muted browns and greens, then leaves an occasional sliver of unpainted canvas that becomes, in the long view, a birch tree trunk or open space. Only in that long view is the order of the scene revealed. She gives us, amid the predictable range of hues, surprises: spots of odd, rich blues and reds that in no way blend with their surroundings, like random sightings of birds or volunteer flowers.

This is the gora (for those that dont know, bora with a golf front end ;-) before we started, forget to take before shots! The Wheels Were Caked In Brake Dust, and Good Old Tar Spots non the less Process consisted of: Wash ** Pre Soak Car With Hose ** Wheels Sprayed With Chemical Guys Blue Rim and Wheel Cleaner and left to soak for 10 -15mins whilst i set up the pressure washer and buckets, etc ** Wheels Then Washed With Mircofibre Mit and Meg's Wheel Brush to remove the majority of the dirt and the likes ** Shampoo was Chemical Guys Extreme Body Wash N Wax using the two bucket method, Windows bonnet, roof, boot, upper body then lower body of car in that order ** Then Washed Off Claying Next stage was too clay the car, i showed andy how easy it was to clay and he started the body of the car using Sonus Green Clay and some chemical guys quick detailer I then set off on the wheels using the Sonus Grey Clay to remove all the rest of the rubbish on the wheels. Polish and Wax Now that the car was clayed and then washed again using the same process at the start using the same chemical guys products, after this point we used the Large Waffle Weave drying towel from chemical guys to dry the car off and we moved in side out of the sun light. We went on to the polishing stage, now due to not having the pc with me, we went for Auto Glyms Super Resin Polish to feel the swirl marks that you could see on the body. I applied the polish with andy and gerry following behind wiping off the excess with a polishing mirco fibre towel in a downwards motion to work the polish into the swirls and slight imprefections. Once the car was finished it was time to find the good old Chemical Guys XXX Hardcore Paste Wax (What A Smell, Hmmmm) We applied again by hand and using a mirco fibre appilcator pad with again andy and gerry following behind wiping off with a clean micro fibre towel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The after shots Well chuffed how well the wheels came up, after spending a hour claying them! The Money Shot For Me Has To Be This This showed u how well the car came up, next time smile andy ;-) sporting new oxford edition stickers ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- All these products can be found on www.carwashnwax.co.uk and i am glad andy was happy with the job we did, but hopefully we will get the pc on it soon! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Debate: Should the U.S. Tap its Strategic Oil Reserves?
With oil prices up more than 20% since mid-February and gasoline prices now at a national average of $3.50 a gallon, talk of tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is intensifying.
The main reason for the spike in oil prices is the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The Journal reports this morning that oil companies are shunning trade in whatever Libyan oil is being pumped. And there's a "fear" premium that has been built into oil prices as unrest seethes from Morocco to Libya to Yemen to Bahrain to Saudi Arabia.
Should the government tap the SPR? Here are three reasons they should and three reasons they shouldn't.
Just do it already!
One. The economy is in a fragile state with a nervous recovery just underway. Higher gasoline prices, not to mention higher heating and cooling costs, could derail the recovery by diverting consumer disposable income to gas and oil from clothes and campers.
Two. OPEC and key members such as the Saudis and Kuwaitis are promising to provide more crude. But they're being darn slow about it, probably because they like the higher prices. Makes it easier to shower their people with largesse.
Three. Much of the price gain is driven by speculation. A promise to unleash the SPR would damp that speculation and bring relief even before much SPR oil went into the economy.
Don't do it!
One. C'mon, $105 a barrel isn't that bad. Just a couple years ago we were above $150 and there wasn't any talk of SPR then. This is a market issue and the markets should solve it, not the politicians.
Two. The SPR is meant for real emergencies, not some civil war in North Africa involving a country that produces less than 2% of the world's daily oil supply. Past uses include the Gulf War and the devastating Hurricane Katrina. Doing it now would make politicians more tempted to do it in the future no matter how small the danger. And that could leave the country vulnerable to a real emergency.
Three. There are better options, like pushing for more domestic drilling, more domestic exploration and more domestic alternatives to traditional oil ranging from wind to solar to shale. Grabbing for the SPR whenever things get a little shaky would undercut those trying to find more ways to provide for our energy security.
Good debate. Which side do you take?

Allez Alize!
Re: Paris Gaz De France
:sad: why does she have to be JJ's side of the drawwwwwwwwwwwwwww :hysteric:
Good luck Alize :awww:
Re: Paris Gaz De France
not a bad draw for alizé, sorry louisa your two faves in the same quarter but well alize will have some run before meeting jankovic
a qualifer(perhaps sprem:unsure:) then probably hantuchova who is very good in indoors but I expect her to make all her possible to win some matchs after the fed cup berezina:(
Re: Paris Gaz De France
not before 18h15 Centre Court
Sevastova (LET, Q) - Cornet (FRA, n°5)
dont know who this girl is but she won 3 matchs already and know the surface.
Alize will have to be very serious.
Re: Paris Gaz De France
I've never heard about the girl too. She beat some good players, but Alize should do it and win.
Good luck!! Plus, I think she'll be on ES tomorrow :)
Re: Paris Gaz De France
yes she should beat that girl and great news she will enter in the court as the new n°13 ranked
her highest ranking, congrats alize:yippee::yippee::yippee:
I wish her all the best!
Re: Paris Gaz De France
Congrats!1 :)
I hope she'll preform well today :)
Re: Paris Gaz De France
and another good news for her is that she is the french n°1 once again since bartoli doesnt defend her paris semi finale:)
Re: Paris Gaz De France
alize did a good job for her first round defeating her opponent 6-1 6-3:)
seemed like a routine match for her.Good entry to the tournament.
She wont play tomorrow according to the OOP
Re: Paris Gaz De France
:woohoo: :clap2: awesome :hearts:
Re: Paris Gaz De France
It was a nice match, nothing spectacular from Alize, she didn't have to do something special though.
In the 1st set she mainly was very consistent and didn't miss, while Sevstova has quite a few errors, in the first set and a half she wasn't playing very well, she had 24 UE's and only 2 winners.. In the end of the match (since somehting like 3:1 I think)they were playing better with some nice and entertaining points.
Nice start to the tourny, but she'll have to raise it up against Hantuchova
Re: Paris Gaz De France
Nice start of the tournament :yeah:
Re: Paris Gaz De France
yes I agree neta, hantuchova made a very good impression in her first match.
Alize will have much of work,I hope she'll put a great fight and beat her
Re: Paris Gaz De France
Allez Alizé :)
good luck tomorrow :D
Re: Paris Gaz De France
Centre court, 12h00

"Over one million people in sub-Saharan Africa will contract malaria this year because they live near a large dam, according to a new study which, for the first time, has correlated the location of large dams with the incidence of malaria and quantified impacts across the region. The study finds that construction of an expected 78 major new dams in sub-Saharan Africa over the next few years will lead to an additional 56,000 malaria cases annually."

Sochi roundup: medals unveiled, alleged corruption, stockpiling snow
Report: Corruption plagues Winter Games
According to a report released this week by opposition leaders, cronies of President Vladimir Putin have stolen up to $30 billion of funds intended for preparations for next year's Sochi Winter Olympics, reports Reuters.
"In preparing for the Olympics, $25 to $30 billion was stolen," Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov told reporters.
The report, written by Nemtsov and Leonid Martynyuk, another Putin critic, claims the most expensive facilities built for the Games were commissioned without competition or public tenders.
"Only oligarchs and companies close to Putin got rich," Martynyuk wrote on his blog. "The absence of fair competition, cronyism… have led to a sharp increase in the costs and to the poor quality of the work to prepare for the Games."
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, declined to comment on the criticism, saying he had not seen the report.
Stockpiling snow in the mountains
The Russians are spending big on Sochi, and preparing for a drought.
According to the London-based New European Economy, the seaside resort will spend an estimated 8 billion euros on the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, more than the three previous Winter Olympics combined.
Among costs are 60 miles of new roads and rails, 37 miles of tunnels, 440 miles of fiber optic cable, a light rail system, airport expansion, two new power stations, 30,000 new hotel rooms, a new seaport and several new sewage treatment plants.
But buying snow is more difficult.
Of course, there is snowmaking. Dmitry Chernyshenko, chair of the organizing committee told USA Today that the 400 snow-making generators are effective to temperatures as high as 59. That wasn't high enough last season.
Several test events, including skiing and snowboard events, were canceled last season as temperatures in the 60s curtailed competition. Although the mountains produce copious quantities of snow, there is enough concern that the Russians have already begun hoarding the white stuff. There are seven "reservoirs" located in the mountains.
Sergei Bachin, the general director of Roza Khutor, the ski resort hosting the alpine events told Reuters, "We've prepared seven separate areas for snow storage high up in the mountains. I want to assure all the competitors that there won't be any shortage of snow next February even if we encounter even warmer temperatures next year."
At a reported cost of roughly $11 million, the Russians have stockpiled 440,000 cubic meters of snow, covered it with a "special thermo seal" and figure they'll lose 140,000 cubic meters over the summer and still have plenty to host all events.
The locals are not anticipating needing it at all. "This was a very odd winter," Chernyshenko said. "Even locals don't remember when was the last time they had such warms days in the mountains. It's highly unlikely we'll see the same kind of weather next year."
Medals unveiled
The presentation of the Olympic and Paralympic medals, which will be awarded at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games, took place in St. Petersburg earlier this week during the 11th "SportAccord" Annual International Sports Convention.
Guests of honor at the ceremony, which is often held in the year before the Games, included IOC Coordination Commission Chairman Jean-Claude Killy, CEO of the IPC Xavier Gonzalez and President and CEO of the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The presentation ceremony was opened by Dmitry Chernyshenko, who gave the audience the main facts and figures about the Sochi 2014 medals and highlighted their unique qualities. The Olympic and Paralympic medals were then displayed and members of the public were able to view them up close.
The medals feature the Sochi 2014 "Patchwork Quilt" – a mosaic of national designs from the various cultures and ethnicities of the Russian Federation. The medals have been carefully crafted to depict the landscape of Sochi from the sun's rays reflecting through the snowy mountain tops onto the sandy beaches of the Black Sea coast. These contrasts in Russia's natural landscape are embodied in the medals and will be an everlasting souvenir for the champions. The unusual combination of metal and polycarbonate lends to the medals a sense of lightness and distinctive beauty.
The front of the medal features the Olympic rings. The reverse contains the name of the competition in English, and the logo of the Sochi 2014 Games. The official name of the Games in Russian, English and French is engraved on the medal's rim.
The Sochi 2014 medals are being manufactured by the experts at Adamas, a Sochi 2014 Supplier and Russia's leading jeweler. Each medal takes up to 18 hours to be created and the latest design and technology processes have been used in the manufacturing process.
FIS experts check in on venue progress
A delegation of FIS Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard experts recently inspected the Extreme Park in Krasnaya Polyana/Rosa Khutor, the future site of both Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard competitions at the Sochi 2014 Games.
The visit, which took place toward the end of May, was the latest in what will total 15 inspections before February 2014.
Based on experiences at the FIS World Cup events in February, a thorough evaluation was conducted with regard to the venue layout, competition schedule and organizational structure. Due to challenging weather conditions, 30 percent of the 20 test events had to be cancelled, including two competitions in freestyle skiing and four in snowboarding.
"Overall, the construction work is at the final stage in order to deliver the courses, stadium and venues to the highest standards. We believe that once the full development of the infrastructure is concluded, the Rosa Khutor venue will provide a fantastic setting for our competitions," said FIS Freestyle Skiing Coordinator Joseph Fitzgerald.

THE furious wife of a man who had an affair with jungle MP Nadine Dorries is
voting for her to take on as many horrible I'm A Celebrity trials as
Rachael Butler has revealed she has the Tory's voting number on SPEED DIAL
and is calling up hundreds of times in the hope she will be made to "suffer"
by being nominated to take on the nasty tasks.
Nadine, 55, has already had to tuck into a lamb's testicle and an ostrich's
anus on the ITV1 show as part of a Bushtucker Trial.
And she spent four minutes locked in a bug-filled coffin in the ground.
Rachael, 56, said: "I voted for her to do the trial thing. I wanted to see her
suffer. I don't want her to be voted off.
"They go into a five star hotel if they leave. Bugger that I don't want to see
that. Keep her suffering."
The mum-of-two, from Chipping Campden, Gloucs, hit the headlines in January
last year when she branded Nadine a "homewrecker".
She hit out after discovering her neighbour and friend of 13 years was having
a fling with her hubby John.
Rachael added: "I was told that she was in tears the second night when she
heard that she had been voted to do the challenge again.
"I'm loving it. Keep her in, keep her suffering. I've got her number on speed
dial, I won't stop voting on her to do trials.
"I must have voted for her hundreds of times. It's worth the money to keep
watching her eat testicles and anuses.
"The public seem to be picking on her and I'm like 'carry on, keep on picking
on Dorries' she deserves everything she gets."
Nadine caused uproar when it emerged she was heading to the Australian jungle
and abandoning her Mid-Bedfordshire constituents.
She had her Conservative whip withdrawn in her absence and faces a grilling
from PM David Cameron when she finally flies back to Westminster.

1) Can you name two specific things you will do in the U.S. Senate to spur job growth in Arizona?
Jeff Flake: Reforming the tax code and scaling back onerous federal regulations are important steps the federal government can take to spur job growth. The U.S. needs to lower the corporate tax rate, as well as eliminate tax credits, loopholes, and expenditures to lower overall rates and broaden the base. It's exceedingly difficult for small businesses to create jobs when the federal government is intervening in every aspect of their business.
Rich Carmona: Short term, improve job training and extend tax credit for business that hire veterans will strengthen our workforce and provide jobs for our returning soldiers. We also need to reform the tax code to cut the corporate tax rate and get rid of special perks for big businesses that pay little, or nothing, to relieve pressure on small businesses, which are the real job creators.
Marc Victor: One, I will work tirelessly to lower taxes for everyone. Two, I will work tirelessly to free up businesses from needless regulation.
2) Should the Bush-era tax cuts be continued, and if so for whom?
Jeff Flake: Raising taxes on any Americans in the middle of a recession would only worsen our economy and hamper economic growth. Democratic proposals to target high-income taxpayers would also ensnare many small businesses as well. Between the fragile economy and oppressive federal regulations, the last thing small businesses can afford is a tax hike.
Rich Carmona: Congress' failure to act has left Arizonans facing a huge tax hike. We cannot let taxes increase on Arizona's working families, especially while the economy is still struggling. We need comprehensive tax reform that makes our tax code simpler and fairer - and that's what I'll fight for. But if Congress isn't able to come together, I would support a short-term extension to keep taxes from spiking on low and middle-income families.
Marc Victor: Yes. Taxes should be lower for everyone.
3) Can you name the three most important steps needed to bolster border security in Arizona?
Jeff Flake: Along with Senators McCain and Kyl, I've introduced a 10-point plan to secure the border using National Guard troops, increased Border Patrol agents, reimbursements to states for court and jail costs, funding for Operations Streamline and Stonegarden, UAVs and surveillance, more permanent and mobile checkpoints, and funding for more border fencing, which would begin to make the Tucson Sector as secure as the Yuma Sector.
Rich Carmona: I've worked the border for 25 years as a deputy sheriff in Pima County. I've seen the tragic costs of the drugs and human smuggling. We need a multilayered system of border security that includes physical barriers, electronic surveillance, human intelligence and a robust Border Patrol. But border security is only part of the issue; we need comprehensive reform to finally fix our broken immigration system.
Marc Victor: One, end the failed war on drugs. Two, make immigration easy for peaceful people who want to come to America to pursue happiness. Three, improve free trade with Mexico.
4) How do you plan to curb the rising costs of Medicare while preserving the program for future generations?
Jeff Flake: Republicans have a plan to preserve Medicare which would not affect anyone 55 or older who've planned their retirement based on current benefits. For those younger, Medicare would transition to a premium support system, meaning that the federal government pays insurance premiums and lets seniors shop for the plan that best suits their needs. Forcing insurance companies to compete would drive down costs and make Medicare solvent.
Rich Carmona: Medicare is a contract we've made that can't be broken. I oppose any effort to turn Medicare into a voucher system, as Congressman Flake would do. In order to secure Medicare's future, we need to reduce costs through preventive care and innovation. Much of what we spend today goes to treating chronic disease, nearly 75% of which is preventable. Incentivizing health and wellness will be much cheaper than paying for costly procedures once people are already sick.
Marc Victor: Health care needs to be completely returned to the free market. The government should have no role in health care.

0 recipe photos
READY IN:14mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- salt and pepper
- Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes or more. Start grill.

"When you know it is the bottom, it is already on the way back up," the saying goes. So, have we hit the bottom in the real estate housing crisis, in Asheville and/or nationwide?
Well, I think the quote indicates that it is impossible to determine "the bottom" until we are out of it. Nonetheless, there are some positive indicators out there.
Overall, news about the economy and housing market is more optimistic. Unemployment is down and confidence is increasing in all sectors. Doubtless, many people are still without work, and we have a long way to go, but I think we are moving in the right direction for a slow recovery beginning this year (if I am wrong, I will quickly delete this post and deny ever saying that!).
Locally, 2011 ended about equivalent with 2010. The numbers are similar (taken from our regional MLS which includes Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, and Madison counties with some sales from surrounding counties):
Total Sales: $977,406,224
Total units: 4161
Average Sales Price: $234,897
Absorption Rate: 23.1 months
(absorption rate is the number of months it will take to sell the current inventory at the current rate of sales. A healthy market that is neither a buyer's nor a seller's market boasts a 6 month absorption rate)
Total Sales: $946,931,918
Total Units: 4288
Average Sales Price: $220,833
Absorption Rate: 20.4
The differences aren't dramatic, and actually indicate prices decreasing in 2011. I don't expect prices to increase in 2012 -- there is still too much inventory and more foreclosures to hit the market. But I do like to see the absorption rate tick down, even if it isn't by much.
I don't think we have statistics yet to document a recovery. It is more intangible. Agents are feeling a shift, and we are all more confident that this is the year the recovery really begins.
I have always heard that it is impossible to time buying at the bottom, whether it is real estate or stocks. But it is always good to buy at either side of the bottom, which is the best most of us can hope for. And interest rates still hovering around 4% make buying now even more appealing. When people begin to buy, it becomes a better time to sell, too. So if you have been holding off selling but are really interested in doing so, this could be the year to go for it.
More than 1,000 RE/MAX residential agents provided responses for a survey conducted in December. Participants offered their thoughts on market conditions and consumer behavior in 2011, as well as predictions for the New Year.
Here's a glimpse at some of the December survey's highlights:
39% of RE/MAX agents believe that prices have already hit bottom
Nearly three-fourths of agents say their markets will have emerged from declining home prices by the end of 2012
62.1% of agents predict good to very good sales in 2012
Half of closings were significantly delayed due to bank procedures (22.7%), financing (14.5%) and appraisals (8.7%)

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I love dividend stocks and you should, too. Dividend stocks help shield portfolios from the ups and downs of our crazy market filled with weak deflationary fear-ridden economic numbers one day, followed by high food prices the next.
That's why I want you to look into Microsoft (MSFT), Ford Motor (F) and Simulations Plus (SLP). These dividend plays are hot!
Study after study demonstrates that in the long run dividend stocks build investor wealth more consistently and at a higher rate than non-dividend stocks. Using historical results as our guide to gauge what to expect moving forward, dividend paying stocks offer the best that investing has to offer.
But did you know that the highest-yielding stocks can actually have a lower performance expectation? It makes sense -- the highest-yielding stocks are often the ones that have experienced rapid price declines as a result of deteriorating investor confidence.
So why look at these three companies? Our goal is to find the highest-yielding stocks executing their business model and likely to continue sending the quarterly checks to your mailbox. In my quest, I have created rules or guidelines companies should pass to become a candidate as a long-term hold.
To make the cut, a company:
- Must be liquid and trade with a small bid-ask spread to avoid slippage.
- The company must have a history of dividend payments and increases in payments.
- The company needs to demonstrate the ability to continue paying the current dividend or more.
- The stock chart must be in a bullish uptrend; there is no point in looking for an oversized yield if the shares are expected to drop as much or more in the next year.
How can you take advantage? Make sure the industry and the company aligns well with your investment objectives. Use your current professional knowledge as applicable to ensure you have a market edge when entering or exiting a position.
Remember, your greatest advantage is your ability to limit your exposure to industries you already understand better than the overall market.
Now, let's look at my Big 3.

Hi All, I've been on the board for a few months now gathering info. and just installed a used/refurbished EFM 520 about a month ago. I just couldn't justify buying any more oil @ $4.25+ gal! Anyway, overall I think it's running well, though lately now that it's been warm I've noticed that Im getting a lot of unburned coal in the ashes. By a lot, I think the ash pan is maybe 1/5-1/4 unburned coal. Since I didn't have a lot of time to play around with settings before it got warm, I've lowered the feed/air twice. I started on 5/4.5 but would always hit the high limit since I'm only heating about 1700sqft. Went to 4/4 and the stoker would run longer, maybe 20-30 minutes on a call for heat. It got warm out so I figured I'd try 3/3.25 which would make the stoker run a little longer on a call.
My other settings are: Hydrostat 3150 150 low / 200 high limit, Honeywell Timer- 2.5min every half hour
My main suspect is not enough draft, I get about .02 at idle and then when running it usually hovers around .03-.04 now that it's warm out. When it was cold when I first installed it would stay near .05. I've tried running 3 feed/3.5-3.75 air to see if it would help but it just seems that the stoker runs so infrequently that unburned coal sits on top of the ash ring and falls off the edge with it. The ashes seem clumpy /clinker but I don't think I should use any less air. I'll attach some photos of the fire at 4/4 and 3/3.25. I'll throw some in of the install too for your entertainment.
So what's a good strategy for running it in warm weather? More feed/air with shorter run times or slow and steady? I'm not going to use it for DHW this summer, but will probably add a coil eventually since electric has gone up considerably. I'm also thinking of adding a draft inducer since my chimney is an exterior masonry style and a little too short. Eventually I'll get around to making it taller but for now it's going to have to wait.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

NEW YORK (Jan. 23)
The National Conference on Soviet Jewry has learned that the Kishinev authorities are trying to win over the local populace and are therefore encouraging the ultra-nationalist feelings of the Moldavians. Moldavians are getting all the government positions and it is difficult for Jews to get jobs. Even Jews with professional degrees are having a difficult time in finding employment and, when they do succeed, it is invariably jobs of lower rank.
Jewish students, the Conference reported, are having difficulty entering institutions of higher education and they often have to give bribes to be admitted. It was once easier to be admitted to evening classes but now that, too, is difficult. The anti-Semitic atmosphere is also felt in kindergartens. When punishing a Jewish child, a teacher will say "Jew boy." If he doesn't be have, he will be put in a corner, according to the Conference. In stores and markets, one can often hear: "Go buy meat (or anything else) in Palestine."
The Conference also reported that half of a Jewish cemetery on Kalbyshev Street in Kishinev was turned into a public park. People walk on the tombstones. The portion which is still a cemetery is not being properly kept up.

Well, it's here: the 2011-2012 NBA Schedule. The post-lockout, condensed, 66-game season.
It was announced earlier that each team would have to play at least one back-to-back-to-back during the shortened season, and I thought the Pacers would be one of the teams that played more than one. I was right.
That said, the schedule makers have smiled down on the Pacers this season, at last…kind of. The full schedule for the Pacers can be found here.
The Pacers begin with a couple of preseason games against the team that ousted them from the playoffs last season, the Chicago Bulls. Even though it's the preseason, I think the Pacers will be out to make a statement.
The real season begins at home (finally!) against the Detroit Pistons. These are both vastly different teams to the ones that were involved in the brawl, but it's still going to be a good rivalry. Hopefully, the Pacers can get off to strong start because of the player-held practices they had during the lockout. The next four games are @Toronto, Cleveland, @Detroit and @New Jersey, offering the Pacers a real chance to get off to a quick start, and dare I say perhaps a 5-0 start?
The road gets tougher from there, with two road games against the Heat and the Celtics. In fact, all of January is fairly rough, with only 5 home games against 11 road games. Ouch.
The back-to-back-to-back stretch happens only twice, from February 14 to 16 from March 22 to 24, and it's not too bad: Miami, @Cleveland, New Jersey, then @Washington, Phoenix, @Milwaukee.
If the Pacers are still in the playoff race (and they ought to be, though it might depend on the moves the various Eastern Conference teams make in the next few weeks), then April is relatively kind to them, as they only have 5 road games against 10 home games, including 4 straight to finish off the season (Milwaukee, Philly, Detroit and Chicago).
Also mentioned was that not every team will play against each other at least twice this season. Teams not making the trip to Conseco Fieldhouse this season include the defending champs Mavs, the Lakers, Rockets, Grizzlies, Spurs and Kings.
As the Pacers keep searching for an extra big man, let's hope the existing core of Granger, Hibbert, Collison, Hansbrough and George can continue to grow.
