The newly cast bronze statue depicting a sailor a kissing a woman stranger in Times Square at the close of World War II is en route to San Diego. Nicknamed "The Kiss," the sculpture, based on a famous photo of the embracing strangers, is scheduled to be installed on Valentine's Day. However, the unveiling won't take place until a public ceremony on Saturday.
It's surely a strange sight for motorists — a 25-foot-long statue of a couple kissing lying on its side uncovered on a flatbed truck. It's being towed from Trenton, N.J. to San Diego.
The 15,000-pound artwork by J. Seward Johnson Jr. will have a home next to the Fish Market restaurant off Harbor Drive. A previous rendition of the statue (not bronze) had stood there on loan for several years.
When it was removed, local donors contributed more than $1 million to have a permanent replacement made. Everyone is invited to next Saturday's 10 a.m. dedication. Among those scheduled to attend are Bob Hope's granddaughter, Miranda, who lives in San Diego, as well as Marine fighter pilot and Padres announcer Jerry Coleman.
Other military attendees include keynote speaker Jerry Yellin, who flew the final World War II combat mission, and the granddaughter of Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault, who led the "Flying Tigers" over China. Coming from Hollywood will be Kate Linder, who portrays Esther Valentine on TV's "The Young and the Restless" and Tova Borgnine, representing her late husband, WW II vet Ernest Borgnine.
In keeping with the spirit of "The Kiss," couples who married during the war will renew their vows followed by a Spirit of '45 community celebration on the Navy Pier next door.
Last call: Valentine's Day will, indeed, be a sentimental one at La Jolla's La Valencia Hotel. Feb. 14 is the date of the final goodbye to the hotel's historic Whaling Bar. The bar and its adjacent Café La Rue will be closed for remodeling and updating. When the space reopens in a few months it will be known simply as Café La Rue, with existing signature paintings of late artist Wing Howard incorporated into the new design.
Hotel management has said the artist's huge whaling painting that long has hung over the bar will be stored, along with the Whaling Bar's model ships and scrimshaw, until they can be installed in a future board room in the hotel.
While there has been an outcry from Whaling Bar lovers, Managing Director Mark Dibella explains that the new Café La Rue will have a larger bar, a wine vault and will open out to the adjacent patio.
"The Whaling Bar of today is indeed a great legend." Dibella posted online in response to one patron's lament, "but sadly one that sits mostly idle with but a handful of great customers at any given time."
Winning exhibit: What is 13.5 inches tall, weighs 8.5 pounds, is plated in 24-karat gold and the center of attention one day a year?
If you said an Oscar, you get a gold star. With the Academy Award ceremonies coming Feb. 24, the Valley Center History Museum is offering a sneak peak of the little statuette named Oscar until Feb. 23.
It was won in 1932 by Gordon Wiles, longtime art director for 20th Century Fox. His Oscar is on loan from his daughter, Dana Wiles Behymer, who lives in Valley Center.
Wiles won for his art direction of feature film, "Transatlantic," a murder mystery aboard an ocean liner traveling from New York to France starring Edmund Lowe and Myrna Loy. The museum, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., is screening the movie on a video monitor.
Valley Center can claim another Oscar-winning resident. Sam Zimbalist lived there for many years. He won an Academy Award in 1960 as producer of "Ben-Hur." Zimbalist, who worked for MGM for 25 years, died of a heart attack a few months before the ceremony took place. His wife , Mary, accepted it for him. She passed away last year.

The Second Coming
In his first start back with the Minnesota Twins following an April demotion, Francisco Liriano set out to prove the he is indeed the pitcher reflective in his minor league numbers. Star Tribune's Jim Souhan recently penned a column speculating on the trade deadline hours after it past. Souhan bravely suggested that Liriano should have been the prime trade bait in the efforts to net a right-handed slugger: "Fans remember Liriano as unhittable and charming, and he has scythed through the International League this summer. Talk to someone other than a stat geek, though, and you'll hear that Liriano is facing mediocre competition, is throwing most of his fastballs at 91 mph, and will not be the dominant force fans remember, even if he stays healthy." Whether your a stat geek or curmudgeonly scout it is hard to deny that in the past three months Francisco Liriano has shown steady improvement. Unfortunately the only way to show it in writing is through the use of demon statistics: In 39 innings in May, Liriano walked 6.5% and struck out 17.6%. In 36.2 innings in June, he walked 5.2% and struck out 24.7%. July was by far his best of the year, walking 3.9% and striking out 32.8% in 34 innings. By all accounts, he was attacking the strike zone and winning the match-ups in front of him regardless if they were the 1998 Yankees on the best kind of steroids or a Walter Matthau coached gaggle of misfits.
"I've seen him a lot in the last couple months down in the Minor Leagues, and he goes out and pitches his heart out. He has been dominant down there. He's been striking people out when he needs to strike people out, getting ground balls when he needs to get ground balls. He's doing an excellent job. I hope to see when he comes back [Sunday] what he is going to do, because I know everybody is going to be happy here." said his Red Wings and now Twins teammate Randy Ruiz.
In Souhan's mind, the pathway to the postseason would have been to ship Liriano to Seattle for Adrian Beltre so that Beltre could hit 3-run home runs for the Twins only to have Livan Hernandez give up 6 runs thereby deleting Beltre's contributions.
Thankfully people smarter than Souhan are at the helm of the Twins.
Souhan's logic is flawed as one bat for two years in exchange for the valuable left-handed starting pitcher would have been a steep price for an organization to pay. However the basis for his for wanting to package Liriano is reasonable. The words "Tommy John recovery" makes people cringe - especially after his first introduction back into the Majors following his entire year off.
In his April 24th start against the Oakland A's, one that produced six earned runs in two-thirds of an inning of work, I charted his pitch location and types with the assistance of MLB's Pitchf/x system. The data showed that several problems persisted with the left-hander from Dominican Republic. First, the findings showed that Liriano had a significant decrease in his velocity, throwing his fastball in the 88-91 mph range (consistently under 90 mph in that game). Fangraph.com shows that he was throwing his fastball 94.7 mph in 2005 and 2006 while averaging just 90 in his three starts in 2008. Secondly, in addition to a decline in velocity that day, Liriano had as much control as a University of Florida frat boy on spring break: 48% of his pitches were outside the strike zone, just 4 of the 9 batters faced were met with a first pitch strike (two of which were gifts from swings on high fastballs). In his dominating 2006 season, 67% of his pitches were strikes. As opposed to 2006 when he was getting the first pitch strike 60% of the time, this season he began the count 0-1 only 45% of the time in 2008 - a 15% decrease in the amount of match-ups starting in the pitcher's favor. While it may appear that there is a negligible difference between 0-1 and 1-0, but American League batters are hitting just .263/.279/.355 after the count starts at 0-1 and hitting .280/.393/.451 when the count starts in their favor. Therefore on average there exists a greater than 10% increase in the opponent reaching base if the first pitch was a ball.
What contributed most to the six earned runs that day was the fact that when Liriano did locate the strike zone (52%), it was down the heart of the plate (20%) with the substandard fastball with little movement. On top of that his off-speed pitches were not able to masque the fastball. He threw his change-up as the set-up pitch that game and did not get chase swings from the very patient Oakland lineup. The slider, once a golden bullet in his arsonal, is now thrown at 79 mph down from the hard 87 mph that resembled a fastball coming out of his hand only to drop away from the left-handed swing and tie up a right-handed batter as it dove into their ankles. Now it lacked the sharp break and speed to make it effective. In that game he threw just one slider to Rajai Davis. It registered 81 mph on the radar gun.
In the post-game press conference after the Oakland game, manager Ron Gardenhire spoke to the media amidst all indication that Liriano had been given his last start in Minnesota in long time. "We've got some discussing to do right here," Gardenhire said. "We've seen him and know where we are at with him. That's very important. So the comeback continues. No one said it was going to be easy, and it's not an easy thing when you sit out that long. We believe this young man is going to be a very, very good pitcher for us. It's going to take a lot of work, and we'll see where we are at over the next few days and make some decisions on what to do next."
After 10.3 innings of work with a 11.32 era and 13 walks to 7 strikeouts, the Twins gave Francisco Liriano the additional time to regain his feel for the mound. Liriano responded well to the demotion. It was his last ten starts with the Red Wings where Liriano went 9-0 with a 2.51 era. Most encouraging was his 73 strikeouts and 9 walks in 64.2 innings of work which prompted a recall (after his agent filing charges that the organization was intentionally holding him back first).
Nearly three plus months and a time zone to the east later, Liriano found himself once on the mound in a Twins uniform, in control of a day game. In a broad stroke, the results (6 innings, 3 hits, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts and no runs) show that improvement was made while in Rochester. The MLB Pitchf/x data reflects the same: His fastball, one that he threw 62 times, was constantly in the 90-92 mph range indicating that he has gained 2 to 3 mph in between major league starts. He threw the slider 19 times with greater velocity, between 81-83 mph - another sign that his arm is closer to recovery from the Tommy John - plus he was able to incite missed swing four times and only had one slider put into play (Jamey Carroll put a grounder into play that Brendan Harris overthrew Nick Punto on). This progress suggests that he is closing the gap between what he was and what he currently is. There are also plenty of red flags amid the data. Just 8 of his 24 match-ups began with a first pitch strike, leading to more 1-0 counts. In addition to that, he was out of the strike zone (66%) even more than his April 24th game (48%). These kind of numbers often spell large quantities of runs for opponents as Liriano was not in complete command of his game. "Triple-A baseball's different than here," Gardenhire said. "There's a few veteran hitters, but a lot of guys swing, swing, swing. As we go along, we're going to see some veteran teams that don't swing. They're going to take pitches, and those are going to be challenges for him to throw more pitches over the plate."
But what differed most between the August 3rd Liriano and the April 24th Liriano was where he was locating his pitches. Against Oakland, Liriano elevated too many pitches as 20% thrown were in the top-half of the strike zone or higher. That kind of placement of a 89 mph fastball typically end up as line drives or flyballs. On Sunday, Liriano threw just 9% of his pitches in the top half of the strike zone, tossing 55% in the lower half of the strike zone, a region more prone to inducing groundballs. Finding the zone and keeping it low will be the recipe for success for Liriano.

Do research and learn more about your options to find the right fit.
Search through our comprehensive listings and get the information you need to make an informed decision.
Why do parents choose to send their children to private schools? It's generally agreed upon that private schools provide more structure, greater emphasis on post secondary preparation, and smaller class sizes which allows for more individual attention. Private schools will also typically offer more opportunity for children who are passionate about extracurricular activities in the arts or athletics.
It's important to take time researching the right preschool for your little one, you want this to be an enjoyable transition for your child. On top of cost, location, and teacher-to-student ratio, you should be meeting face to face with teachers to get a sense of the environment. Online research is a great place to start, but once you've narrowed down a few, we suggest in-person visits to nail down your choice.
A Montessori education is a child-centered educational approach with mixed age classrooms. The belief is that children are naturally eager to learn, so by giving them a thoughtfully prepared learning environment, they will feel empowered to initiate their learning. Within a range of options and materials where students learn core concepts, students have a choice for their activity.
Choosing the type of school your child will attend can be overwhelming and is often one of the most challenging decisions parents will face in their journey of doing the best for their children. The most important thing to remember is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It's a decision that should be carefully weighed depending on what's available to you, the needs of your child, the needs of you, and of course financial considerations.
To help you in this decision, we offer a comprehensive listing of private schools, preschools, enrichment programs, and daycare options in your area.
Most schools offer open houses or parent information sessions multiple times throughout the year, some private schools will even do private tours of the grounds. We highly recommend taking advantage of these! Online research is a valuable resource, however, in person visits will really help you get a feel for the school, the faculty, and peers.

Jax Beach Murder Suspect Arraigned
Charles Pearce Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder In Former Firefighter's Death
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The man accused of killing a former firefighter at Jacksonville Beach in February pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday.
Charles Pearce, 30, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 42-year-old Mike McCue in the driveway of McCue's home.
Pearce was arrested in Arizona more than a week after the killing. He did not fight extradition, and was brought back to Duval County last month.
Pearce is also charged with attempted murder in connection with a separate shooting about a block away from where McCue was killed. Police said Pearce initially fired a shot at his stepfather, but missed him.
Not long after, McCue was shot and killed outside his home, one block away.
Pearce's next court date is May 2.

LONDON (AP) — Ryan Lochte turned his much-anticipated duel with Michael Phelps into a blowout, pulling away to win the Olympic 400-meter individual medley by more than 3 seconds Saturday night. Even more stunning: Phelps didn't even win a medal.
After barely qualifying for the evening final in a performance that hinted at trouble ahead, Phelps struggled to a fourth-place finish and was denied his 17th career medal. When it was done, he could barely pull himself out of the pool.
Brazil's Thiago Pereira took the silver, and Japan's Kosuke Hagino claimed the bronze — beating Phelps by a barely comfortable 34-hundredths of a second for a spot on the podium.

Rayne came out alone, without the rest of the Beautiful People. Madison Rayne got on the mic before the bell, and said she wanted Roxxi to explain how she could "pop in and out of the company whenever she felt like it" while the Beautiful People were dominating. Rayne said this time she "popped in and was handed a title shot". Rayne said she is putting everything on the line tonight, while Roxxi is putting up nothing. Rayne said Roxxi should put up the same thing that Tara did, her career. Rayne badgered her into agreeing, and just as she did, Rayne hit her in the head with the microphone.

A Surreal Photoshoot on an Underwater Shipwreck in Bali
Taken recently off the coast of Bali, these surreal photos are the creation of Montreal-based director and photographer Benjamin Von Wong, known for his exceedingly difficult photoshoots. Where it might be more practical to create the complex aspects of these photos digitally, Von Wong took a different path and assembled a team of two models who also happen to be trained freedivers, 7 additional support divers, and obtained special permission to utilize a 50-year-old underwater shipwreck. The entire shoot took place 25 meters below the surface, and because of the extreme conditions and limitations, he relied heavily on natural light to create the final images you see here.
You can watch the video above to see how the photoshoot came together and read more about the process over on his blog. (via PetaPixel, My Modern Met)

The success of 12-year-old Cain Lusk in taking a 6x7 bull elk is a notable achievement. The location and circumstances surrounding the event make it even more noteworthy.
The success of 12-year-old Cain Lusk in taking a 6x7 bull elk is a notable achievement. The location and circumstances surrounding the event make it even more noteworthy.
Cain, who lives at Hector in Pope County, got to go on the elk hunt this year because of father Clint Lusk's determination and generosity. Clint Lusk also had deep pockets.
He bid on and won the elk hunting permit in an auction at the annual awards banquet of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation. Proceeds from the auction go to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for use in its elk program.
This auctioned permit was designated for a youth, someone under the age of 16. And it specified the hunting area was Bearcat Hollow, the first time this rugged area in the Ozark National Forest has been open to permit elk hunting.
Wayne Shewmake of Dardanelle is involved in this story from several angles. He is president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation, he has been a ramrod in the extensive Bearcat Hollow Cooperative Habitat Project and he accompanied Cain Lusk, his father, his grandfather and his grandmother on the hunt.
Shewmake tells the story of Cain and the bull elk:
"Clint, Cain, his grandpa Jimmy and grandmother Gullett all went up on Saturday before the opening day to do more scouting. I got up early Monday morning and drove up there to get out into the woods before daylight. We were all very excited, but I think Cain was the most excited. It was a beautiful morning — about 46 degrees, light wind, and clear skies, an ideal morning. We got to our location before daylight and heard two or more bull elk bugle, an elk's way to call his cows to him.
"We started into a field and saw a bull and three cows, but we couldn't tell how big the bull was. They all went into the woods, moving away from us. We set up in hopes they would return. During the interim we heard several bulls bugle all around us. After several hours of waiting we decided to look at other locations for signs of elk. We found some but decided to go back to the first location to see if they would come back that evening.
"We returned approximately 4 p.m. and set up about 10 yards apart, watching in two different directions simultaneously. As the evening wore on and it was getting close to sunset, we heard some bulls bugle once again off in the distance. More of them began to bugle and started to move a little closer to our location.
"Just after sundown a cow and calf came into view of Cain and his dad. I wasn't aware of them because I was several feet away watching the other direction. About the same time I heard some loud noises coming from my direction and looked to my right. Four cows and a big 6x7 bull elk came into my view about 75 yards away. I picked up a small rock and tossed it in Cain's direction, motioning for him to hurry over to me. I tried to do all of this without being noticed by the elk. Here comes Cain, almost running. I had to stop him from going too far, afraid the elk might see him.
"He lay down and put his gun across my leg for a rest and took aim. BANG! The big bull just stood there. I told him to reload and try again. He did and again, BANG! Again, the big bull just stood there while the cows were running all over the place not sure what was going on. I tried to calm him down and told him to reload, take a deep breath and pick a good spot. He did just that and BANG, down went the bull."
This elk season, 28 permits were issued for public land hunting. Twenty-five were drawn randomly at the Buffalo River Elk Festival in Jasper in June. The other three were given through auctions of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and the Arkansas Wildlife Federation.

Crowning Touch Custom Cabinets
I am a high end custom cabinet company dealing with residential projects. Our typical home price range is typically between $500,000.00 to several million dollars.
Typically our customer are actual homeowners. We do cater to designers as well. We would like to attract home builders as well.
What sets us apart from others in our trade is that we build cabinets specifically designed to the space. In other words we are not limited to standard sizes. Our stain colors are all custom, so if we have a client that wants to match a specific item in their house this not a problem. We also can manufacture door profiles to match items in ones house. Example: If a client has a certain kind of interior door design then we can manufacture our cabinet doors to match that design.
Our targets currently are high end remodel work, but I would like to branch out and try to receive work form new construction as well. 99% of our work is residential but we do handle a small amount of commercial work as well.
Since our costs are higher based upon our product, our customers income level is typically upper bracketed.
Our cabinets reflect this clients taste with all wood designs, intricate details, and rich finishes.
I am open to lots of diffferent ideas. Our past logo was very simple, so I want to get away from that and have something with some detail. I am looking for more of an elegant design I guess, but am open to other ideas as well.
I would like for the colors to be vibrant but yet classy.
I'm not sure I want to incorporate any "crowns" in the design, because I just feel this might be too cheesy. Unless, somebody can do it very tastefully.
We will be basing our web design around our logo, so I am of course looking for the most outstanding design.
As far as fonts, I am not to concerned, but I would prefer something classy or elegant but yet not hard to read.

Only the plain assignment operator (
=) can do list assignment. I found this out when I expected
@a x= 5 to do something (besides throw an error that is). This makes sense for most of the assignment operators. For instance,
@x += 2 makes very little sense, but I think
@a x= 3 makes some sense, but alas it is an error.
The bitwise and operator (
&) has different behavior with respect to strings than the bitwise or and xor operators (
| and
^ respectively). Bitwise and truncates to the length of the shorter string, but bitwise or and xor extend the shorter string to the length of the longer one with nul characters.
The arrow operator has surprising behavior with respect to coderefs. This code throws an error as I would expect:
#!/usr/bin/perlBut this code prints
use strict;
use warnings;
sub func {
return [qw/a b c/];
print func()[0], "\n";
#!/usr/bin/perlThis seems to be an extension of the rule that lets you pretend that an AoA is really a multi-dimensional array. I knew this rule allowed you to say
use strict;
use warnings;
sub func {
return [qw/a b c/];
my $ref = \&func;
print $ref->()[0], "\n";
$aoa->[0][1]("arg1", "arg2"), but I had never tried it with the function call first.
Some people use
~~X (i.e.
~(~X)) to force scalar context on
X, boy are they going to be annoyed by the smartmatch operator.
I go through bouts of knowing and forgetting this, but the flip-flop operators (
.. and
...) actually return useful information, not just true or false:
#!/usr/bin/perlThe code above prints
use strict;
use warnings;
for my $i (1 .. 10) {
my $range = ($i == 2 or $i == 6) .. ($i == 4 or $i == 8);
print "$range: $i\n" if $range;
1: 2
2: 3
1: 6
2: 7
The comparison operators (
<=> and
cmp) return
0, and
1 not negative, zero, and positive. I had always though it wasn't guaranteed what the return value was, but apparently it is.
Perl 5.10.1 does not have the
err operator (i.e. the low precedence version of
//. I could have sworn it did, but it is not there. It looks like I am not the only one confused by its non-existence though,
perlop has a section titled "Logical or, Defined or, and Exclusive Or" that only describes
or and
The left bit shift operator (
<<) is not defined if you you shift past the boundary of your native integer. I had always assumed that it dropped those bits, but apparently that is just the behavior of the versions of C I have used in the past (ANSI/ISO C does not define the behavior of overflow due to shifting, so it is a crap shoot).
and and
or operators have different precedence levels. The
and operator binds more tightly than
or, so
$x == 5 and $y == 6 or $x == 6 and $y == 5is the same as
(($x == 5) and ($y == 6)) or (($x == 6) and ($y == 5))

There's no denying the efficiency that technology has created in our lives has been unfathomable. It helps us work and play. However, it can also be addicting, mind draining, and reinforce negative messages. And, where the Internet is concerned, there are social dangers for adults and kids.
I read a blog post recently that suggested people only check their e-mail twice a day. Twice a day? Is that even possible? It may not seem possible, but it sure is needed.
There's no denying the efficiency that technology has created in our lives has been unfathomable. It helps us work and play. However, it can also be addicting, mind draining, and reinforce negative messages. And, where the Internet is concerned, there are social dangers for adults and kids.
We've become a society where phones are "so yesterday" and all conversations become virtual in a sense. There are dangers in that, and people become trusting in ways not based in reality. That is a scary issue for parents to grapple with.
The bigger issues aside, just pause a moment and consider how many ways you use technology in a given day. There's the basics: telephone, computer, video games, cell phones. You may IM someone, text another, e-mail the next. You likely e-chat more than truly talk to people on most days. How many projects are you working on with people you have never met? It's all made possible by technology – e-mail, video calls and e-meetings.
Sometimes having a real meeting is a breath of fresh air after all this e-connectiveness!
With the New Year here, one of the best ways you can help you and your family is to do some serious technology cleaning and streamlining. Would you believe some workplaces are actually starting "e-mail free Fridays"?
I find myself working at Starbucks a lot just to not have e-mail dinging every few minutes. I don't even have e-mail on my laptop – I could if I wanted to but I decided that it was not worth the extra technology stress. Let's face it; if you have it, you will check it!
What can you do to get your family more media healthy? Many things. First, you have to admit you have a problem. In fact, we all do. We all watch or listen or type too much.
A multitude of studies this year have focused on the impact on TV on our kids and it is clear that "too much" is bad. The problem is that studies are not yet clear on which is the more important element, time or content, when TV becomes linked to attention issues from "too much." At the same time, studies this year have demonstrated no harm in good, educational programming for young children. More studies will need to be done to help us sort this out a bit more.
So, gather your family around the kitchen table, print out the list below and as a family read this list together. If all goes well, you'll have a table of nodding heads in agreement that you need to become a more media-responsible household in 2008.
Dr. Gwenn's Media-Responsible Household Family Plede:
- I will never choose media or technology over my family.
- I will use technology responsibly by not texting or talking while driving, using my cell phone while in a line or using technology to harm others by engaging in bullying or slanderous actions.
- I will try and keep my total screen time to two hours a day except when doing a project for school.
- I will not watch shows or play games that scare me or are inappropriate for friends and family watching or playing with me.
- Kids: I will never give out personal information online or by text and will avoid all chat room except ones my mom and dad have looked at and approved.
- Parents: I will check what my kids are doing online and on their phones.
- Kids: I understand my parents have a right to check into my media history on my computer or phone.
- We will talk as a family at a meal a day with no technology in sight.
- We will agree to technology-free times such as weekends and vacations.
- When in doubt, family first. If media gets in the way, we need to recognize we are utilizing it too much or in a way that is not helping our family.
Here's to a wonderful 2008 with more media awareness and truer family time

In search of an ancient civilization
The decline of the Mayan empire remains a mystery some 1000 years later. On the Mexican peninsula Yucatán, our author met an archeologist searching for answers, discovered great diving spots and gorgeous beaches, climbed a pyramid, and visited a friendly shaman
"Just let yourself fall backwards," Richie – Richard Schmittner, my diving guide – calls over. Only a few years ago, the sandy-haired 29-year-old was an optician in Bavaria. Today he shows visitors like me Yucatán's underworld. Squeezed into a neoprene suit and with an oxygen tank strapped to my back, I am standing on a very slippery wooden jetty at the entrance to the Dos Ojos water hole near Tulum. Originally, we intended to explore the Mexican peninsula in a rental car only. The day after tomorrow, in Mérida, we meet archeologist Guillermo de Anda, who dives in the freshwater-filled subterranean limestone caves or cenotes that lie beneath Yucatán, to find out how the decline of the Mayan kingdom came about roughly 1000 years ago.
To the Maya, the cenotes were gateways to the underworld, which is why, in order to appease their gods, they threw all manner of things into them: tools and precious pitchers, but also human beings. Today, what remains of those sacrifices provides useful information about the lost civilization. "We find answers down there," de Anda had said on the phone. Cenotes are just as exciting for amateurs as for archeologists so, after a day on the beach in Cancún, we jumped into the car and drove south along the coast toward Tulum and the most spectacular caves.
Now a ceiling of rock curves above me and Richie is waving to me from below. Let myself fall backwards? Is there no ladder here? My diving suit pinches and perspiration is pouring from my brow. A bloodthirsty mosquito settles on my ankle and the next group of frogmen is already coming up behind me. Persuaded! I turn around and lean back; the weight of the tank takes care of the rest. Splash! The water is refreshingly cool, as is the air in the cave entrance, something the birds above our heads evidently like. "They're motmots," Richie tells me, "they build their nests in the rock." To the Maya, the motmots were the gatekeepers of the underworld. They don't appear to want to stop us, so we dive beneath the surface of the crystal-clear water. Richie glides into a dark, narrow tunnel and I follow his flippers, shining my flashlight onto the bedrock below and the ceiling above me with its forest of cone-shaped outcrops. During the last ice age, the sea level dropped, leaving the caves high and dry. Rainwater seeped through the roofs and over the millennia created countless dripstone formations. Then the oceans rose again and flooded the labyrinthine cave system. So far, divers have explored roughly 1000 kilometers of it, but the greater part remains virgin territory.
Later we come to a cave worthy of the cathedral of Atlantis: vaulted ceilings, walls covered with bizarre ornaments. Sunlight pierces the darkness, bathing the inner sanctum in a magical light. Richie turns to me; I give him the OK sign, but he jabs his thumb upward: time to surface. What, already? My watch tells me we've been down here nearly an hour – it seemed like just a few minutes. Shortly afterwards, peeling off our diving suits in the parking lot, I notice a tattoo on Richie's shoulderblades: a pair of wings. The image is perfect; diving is like flying underwater.
We leave Tulum and its gleaming white beaches behind and drive northwest to Mérida along roads lined with flaming coral trees and palms laden with coconuts amid a landscape straight out of an exotic fairy tale. A fruit vendor sells her wares by the roadside and cracks open a coconut for us with a well-aimed swipe of her machete. Back in the car, we slurp the cool milk through a straw.
An hour later we reach Cobá, once one of the largest Mayan settlements. It had already been swallowed up by forests when the Spaniards arrived. Today, tracks beneath a dense canopy of leaves connect the ruins. We rent bicycles at the entrance to the excavation site and ride through green tunnels until we see Cobá's largest pyramid towering before us: Ixmoja, 42 meters high, with 120 crumbling steps leading to its summit. What are we waiting for? We take the first few steps with our heads held high, but before long, break out in a sweat. Halfway up, we feel a burning sensation in our calves. We climb the final third on all fours, and reach the platform at the top, gasping for breath. Up here, above the leafy canopy, priests once stood and worshipped the gods while the populace gathered below. According to one theory, a period of poor harvests caused this hierarchy to falter, and, driven by hunger and plagued by disease, the hut dwellers stormed the palaces and pyramids. It is also unclear why the priests' knowledge – the Maya had developed a precise calendar and were able to predict with some accuracy the course of the planets – disappeared along with the old order.
On the way to Mérida, we make a detour to Izamal. A three-hour drive brings us to the little town with its center all done out in deep, gleaming yellow ocher. It was first painted that way in 1993, when Pope John Paul II paid a visit, and since then, all other colors have been taboo. So much piety can be unsettling. The imposing Franciscan monastery here was once the residence of Diego de Landa, who later became Bishop of Yucatán. He made a name for himself as an inquisitor, who destroyed not only people but also every Mayan manuscript he could lay his hands on. "The Spaniards wanted to blot out all trace of the old civilization," says archeologist de Anda, a stout man with lively eyes and a firm handshake, whom we meet a little later in Mérida. As often as possible, the "Indiana Jones of Yucatán" trades the dry, bright rooms of universities for pitch-dark water holes. "Down there, we find shards and bits of material that are over a thousand years old," he says. With their consistently cold temperatures, and total lack of oxygen or a current, some cenotes act as the freezers of history, he explains. A short time later, he drives his van out of town and along narrow tracks through dense bush country.
Getting into this cenote is a little more complicated than usual: At the end of a rope, we will be winched down through a narrow chimney shaft into an underground lake. Once everything – team and equipment – is all set to go, we grope our way down the rough wall into complete blackness. De Anda and his team have been here once before. Today they want to chart the bed of the cenote, where a Mayan skull has been discovered. We follow the bright beams of the flashlights and after a half-hour search, we gather and train our lights and cameras on a single point, where a fragile, rust-red skull is lying on the rocky floor. "Nothing gets touched," is the command we receive before diving down, so all de Andas' team takes back up to the surface are crystal-clear close-ups of the skull. "We are interested in the details," says de Anda, as he steers his van out of the bush amid clouds of yellow butterflies. "Traces and marks on bones, pitchers and blades give us valuable information."
Our final destination before we head back to Cancún is anything but unexplored: Chichén Itzá, the foremost Mayan city and, circa 900 A.D., home to 50 000 people. Today, a million tourists wander among the city's ruins every year. The history business brings other profiteers, too: Souvenir vendors tout trinkets from Mayan masks to skull ash trays. We should have bought a sombrero, we realize a short while later as we stand beneath the blazing sun surveying the mighty Kukulcán pyramid, before finding a shady spot in which to sit and gaze in wonder at the monumental structure. "It's a magical place, isn't it?" says a petite woman in a floral dress. She's Elizabeth Gomez, a dentist who works in Puebla, near Mexico City, but travels to her old home, Yucatán, whenever her practise permits. "The friendly people, the rich culture, the glorious scenery – when I'm here, I often think that paradise exists, after all!"
For the Maya it had evidently become hell. Perhaps we can find out why from Marcos Santos, Chichén Itzà's chief archeologist. His office is crammed full of books on Mesoamerican history. When we ask him why the Maya died out, he falls silent, the only sound in the room the hum of the air conditioning. Then he shakes his head. "It isn't true. They didn't die out. They just abandoned their temples and went into the forests. Their culture is very much alive!"
The Spaniards wanted to blot out all trace of the old civilization
Later, as we roll along the highway, Santos' words echo in our ears. All of a sudden the heavens open and within minutes the roads are flooded. We seek shelter in a village kiosk. "Chaac is merciful," one man tells us with a smile. Who? "Chaac, the rain god." Interested to know more, we ask a boy to take us to the wooden hut belonging to Don Pedronito, the village shaman. An open fire gleams in one corner, in the other, his children sit and stare, wide-eyed. Don Pedronito tells us about the rain god in Mayathan, the Mayan language still spoken by at least 800 000 people in Yucatán today. The boy translates: "We shamans ask the gods for rain or a good harvest. And we drive out evil spirits." How? Don Pedronito picks up a bundle of twigs, and hums and sings words we don't understand as he moves the twigs repeatedly over our heads and upper bodies, as shamans have done for thousands of years. A short while later, the rain subsides and we continue our journey in silence. In the evening, we are back where our journey began, on el Mirador beach in Cancún. The moon's reflection gleams on the water. In a couple of hours, the sun will rise over the smart hotels of Cancún, over Don Pedronito's wooden hut – and over Yucatán's thousand mysteries.

As I entered my late teens and early adult years I embraced what Science had to say on the subject of how we got here (on Earth that is)… the Bible seemed to be a collection of fairy tales that couldn't possibly be true. None of it made any sense… when I opened a Bible it was all nonsense. The more I learned about Science the more I considered "religious" people to be ignorant and foolish, thinking they needed a crutch to get through life.
In 1997, at the age of 25, my life took a new path as I met my future wife in an online movie chat room. She lived in California at the time and I was thousands of miles away in Ohio. She was raised in a Southern Baptist family and became a Christian at a very young age. We quickly fell in love and in 1999 I quit my job, packed up my belongings and moved across the country to be with my love.
Several years later we relocated to Las Vegas and my wife wanted to find a church she could call home. I told her I would go to church with her but never thought in a million years God would reveal himself to me. That day, at the age of 35, sitting in that church with my wife, God DID reveal Himself in a very supernatural way. One that I could not deny, and I left that church KNOWING the ONE TRUE God… and His name is Jesus Christ.

Last Thursday, ThinkProgress revealed that lawyers representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, one of the most powerful trade associations for large corporations like ExxonMobil and CitiGroup, had solicited a proposal from a set of military contractors to develop a surreptitious campaign to attack the Chamber's political opponents, including ThinkProgress, the Change to Win labor coalition, SEIU, StopTheChamber.com, MoveOn.org, U.S. Chamber Watch and others. The lawyers from the Chamber's longtime law firm Hunton and Williams had been compiling their own data set on some of these targets. However, the lawyers sought the military contractors for assistance.
As ThinkProgress has reported, the proposals — created by military contractors Palantir, Berico Technologies, and HBGary Federal, collectively known as "Team Themis" — were discussed at length with the Chamber's lawyers over the course of several months starting in October of 2010. The core proposals called for snooping on the families of progressive activists, creating phony identities to penetrate progressive organizations, creating bots to "scrape" social media for information, and submitting fake documents to Chamber opponents as a false flag trick to discredit progressive organizations.
In addition to the Team Themis plans that ThinkProgress and other outlets have reported on, a closer look at the proposals show that the firms had planned to use exploits to steal information from the Chamber's opponents, or worse. On November 2, HBGary Federal executive Aaron Barr sent John Woods, a lawyer at Hunton and Williams representing the Chamber, two documents discussing tactics for assisting the Chamber (view the e-mail here). One presentation (click here to download) boasted of HBGary Federal's capabilities in "Information Operations," a military contractor term for offensive data extraction techniques typically reserved for use against terrorist groups. The slide includes sections on "Vulnerability Research/Exploit Development" and "Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering." View a screenshot below:
HBGary, the parent company of HBGary Federal, specializes in analyzing "malware," computer viruses that are used to maliciously steal data from computers or networks. In other presentations, Barr makes clear that his expertise in "Information Operations" covers forms of hacking like a "computer network attack," "custom malware development," and "persistent software implants." The presentation shows Barr boasting that he had knowledge of using "zero day" attacks to exploit vulnerabilities in Flash, Java, Windows 2000 and other programs to steal data from a target's computer.
Indeed, malware hacking appears to be a key service sold by HBGary Federal. Describing a "spear phishing" strategy (an illegal form of hacking), Barr advised his colleague Greg Hoglund that "We should have a capability to do this to our adversaries." In another e-mail chain, HBGary Federal executives discuss using a fake "patriotic video of our soldiers overseas" to induce military officials to open malicious data extraction viruses. In September, HBGary Federal executives again contemplate their success of a dummy "evite" e-mail used to maliciously hack target computers.
Some of the initial e-mails discussing the Chamber deal with Team Themis stress the fact that HBGary Federal would provide "expertise on 'digital intellgence collection' and social media exploitation.'"
Barr also sent another document to the Chamber's attorney describing in greater detail Team Themis' hacking abilities (download a copy here). In one section, Team Themis claims that "if/when Hunton & Williams LLP needs or desire," they can use "direct engagement" to "provide valuable information that cannot be acquired through other means." This cryptic pledge appears to be in reference to same malware data intrusion techniques proposed in the other Team Themis documents. View a screenshot below:
In an e-mail on November 9th, Barr sent Chamber attorney John Woods an e-mail about his data extraction capabilities (view a copy here). Barr had compiled a dossier on a top Chamber attorney, Richard Wyatt, and hoped to use it as an example of what they could do to the Chamber's adversaries. However, in the e-mail, Barr claimed that he realized that Wyatt's wife's computer had core vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain access to Richard's personal data. "If I can exploit her account through one of her social connections I can exploit the home network/system," he wrote. This explains why Team Themis devoted so much time to researching the families and children of progressive activists, to find vulnerabilities in their computer systems.
It should be noted that the Chamber's attorneys and lobbyists were well aware of Team Themis' plans. A sample demonstration of Team Themis work had "sold the Chamber" at one point. Throughout the conversations made available by the leaked e-mails, neither the Chamber or its attorneys ever raised ethical complaints.

These snaps were from last week when me and Zoe had the pleasure of attending Afternoon Tea at Cafe Royal. Now being me I've actually lost all my photos that I took while I was there... #bloggerfail. But you can see it all in it's delicious goodness in the vlog from that day.
I never thought I'd type this but Im kinda going off monochrome! YES THATS RIGHT ME, MONOCHROME MELROSE is done-diddly-one- with black and white. Well maybe. A little bit. I seem to be drawn to blue and navy at the moment instead of my usual black. I picked this dress from my latest Topshop A/W Haul and the coat was something I'd purchased earlier in the month but has barely left my shoulders since. It's lightweight enough for autumnal breezes and thick enough to not leave me shivering. Plus it goes with so many things. The pattern is just darling.
Denim isnt one of my favourite things in the world, I was a jeans dodger for years in the early days of this blog. None the less this petrol blue number has slipped perfectly into my wardrobe without feeling out of place.
& Yup, still not given in to tights weather!

High Zoot Braking For Jeeps
Braking Even
Brakes are very important, and for more reasons than our recurring nightmare where we are hurtling down the road in a car with no brakes. Many Jeeps, old and new, could use a little help when it comes to stopping especially after the addition of larger, heavier, more aggressive tires and wheels. You can toss larger discs, calipers, and master cylinders at your Jeep but that won't necessarily make your Jeep stop any faster. Most stock master cylinders can handle some increase in caliper and or wheel cylinder size, but there is a limit to what stock components can handle. Combining the proper components with respect to fluid volume, pressure, and brake size is what you and we need.

By Jim Garamone, American Forces Press Service
/ Published March 11, 2014
Airmen are worried about budgetary uncertainty, and service leaders pledge to be transparent about priorities and programs available as the service moves forward, Air Force Undersecretary Eric Fanning said here March 11.
Speaking to the Defense Writers Group, Fanning told reporters he has heard from quite a few Airmen about their concerns about the force.
"The main thing I promised is to continue to be transparent and to try and make decisions to get us to whatever the new normal is as quickly as possible," he said. "This has not been easy, because we still don't know what that is going to be."
None of the services can really plan beyond fiscal year 2015 because of the specter of sequestration spending cuts the following year. The Budget Control Act of 2011 is still the law of the land. While Congress passed a law giving some relief from sequestration in fiscal 2014 and 2015, the law will go back into full effect in fiscal 2016.
If full sequestration is triggered, the Air Force will have to reduce the number of Airmen further, and in a much steeper manner, Fanning said.
"We've made proposals on force structure and making the Air Force smaller, but we have to see what Congress will approve," he said. "Certainly, there is a lot of angst out there for what the future holds."
Some Airmen have complained that the service appears to value equipment more than people, Fanning said.
"I read a lot of these blogs too," he said. "There are a lot of Airmen who understand that part of our commitment to them is if we're going to send them into harm's way, we're going to send them with the best equipment and the readiest that we can."
The service must balance among capacity, capability and readiness, Fanning told the defense writers, noting that spending money on Airmen only makes sense if those Airmen are ready and equipped to fight the nation's battles.
"I think (Airmen) understand the decisions we are making in terms of investing in the technology that sets the Air Force apart and gives them the edge in a fight," he said.
Air Force leaders are still committed to giving Airmen the time to adjust to whatever decision comes forth, Fanning said.
"We are still committed to using voluntary programs to the maximum extent possible before we will do anything in an involuntary way," he said.
The air fleet is getting older and smaller by the year, he said, so the service must invest in next-generation platforms.
"We've been fighting a war in two theaters where we owned the airspace in a way that we won't in other types of conflicts that are more contested," Fanning said.
In the fiscal 2015 budget request, the service focuses specifically on capability over capacity.
"That's why you see the Air Force aggressively trying to get rid of its older fleets and older infrastructure," he said. As this continues, he added, the Air Force's advantage in tactical airpower and in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets will increase.
"These are two areas where we will see significant advancement," Fanning said.
The undersecretary said he also expects improvements across the board from investments in space and cyber technology.
"We cannot, in this environment, afford to invest in all the recapitalization and all the platforms we want to," Fanning said. But amid all the budget issues the U.S. Air Force is still the most potent air arm in the world, he said, and it must be ready to fight today and in the future.
"That balance between the fight today and the fight tomorrow is a struggle that we are going to be dealing with for a long time because of these budget numbers," Fanning said. "But we still are, by far, the best Air Force in the world -- even in any of the scenarios we project out over 10 years. The issue is with the budget you have, and you stack that up against the missions you are assigned. That's the metric I use."

FIrst, glad the forum is up again.
All of a sudden, since this morning i can't send anymore. Yesterday molestion started with "Access violation in Poco.exe" when trying to read from one account (my only IMAP one), but now i can't send anything, again with AV...
Did MS any awful thing i didn't notice?
Any help appreciated
PS: FTR, run smoothly without any intervention in W8 for years now (went directly from XP to W8). Tried TB, not really happy, tried Sylpheed, to restricted, tried Pegasus, depends on abysmally slow working developer, tried now EMClient, looks like a pre 4.0 Poco featurewise and i read disturbingly often about broken databases - the latter an absolut no-no (PM holds about 50k mails for me, now over 3 or 4 computer generations and almost 15 years...)
IMHO Slaven lost nerves just a year or so too early. PM neads decent UTF-8 support, but that's about all i really miss... Not all is phone and tablet

With a VM created - manually or using a Wizard - it's a matter of starting up the VM, inserting the guest OS' own installation disc and loading the operating system into the virtual hard drive. Windows XP installed smoothly, as did its Service Pack 2 update. Parallels has provided a set of drivers to tie key Mac hardware components into the guest OS, and these are installed once you've got the guest OS up and running. With XP, these Parallel Tools add graphics, mouse and trackpad, network, shared folder support to allow data-sharing between operating systems, and other drivers.
The upshot is that you can get up and running quickly and smoothly. The downside is you're tied to Parallels' virtual hardware design. There's no driver for the MacBook Pro's integrated webcam, for example, or for its Bluetooth adaptor. But then my MacBook Pro's trackpad worked perfectly, right down to tapping with two fingers to emulate a right-button mouse click. The XP VM uses the host machine's internet connection, but whether Mac OS X talks to the outside world across a LAN or a wireless link, XP always assumes it's on a fixed network. Your optical drive appears as a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM - there's no burn capability.
Some of these hardware features can be tweaked - you can set the network bridge to connect specifically to the host Mac's Ethernet or AirPort adaptors, for example. Most users, I suspect, will stick with the default settings.

As of a Friday report, Markelle Fultz will continue to see specialists about his shoulder issues through early next week.
This has been a real disaster situation with Fultz on the Sixers as he deals with crippling shoulder injuries. Unfortunately, his wealth of potential and promise hasn't been realized and it seems like a long way to go to get to that point.

Andre Iguodala returned to South Florida after living in California since the NBA season was suspended.
Iguodala returning to the market where his team is could mean that he believes team workouts will begin soon. However, there is no official timetable on when team workouts will begin and Jimmy Butler has yet to return to Miami.

May 27, 2020, 7:52 pmZach LaVineSG, Chicago Bulls
K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported that the Bulls were cleared by the Governor of Illinois and are in talks with city officials to open practice facilities on Friday for voluntary workouts that would follow the NBA guidelines.
The NBA's guidelines currently state that a maximum of four players are allowed in the facility at any given time and there can only be one player per hoop. The Bulls are currently eight games behind the Orlando Magic for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls may not play again this season given how far behind they are in the standings and the recent reports of proposals to not continue the regular season.

May 27, 2020, 7:08 pmLuka DoncicPG-SF, Dallas Mavericks
Marc Stein of the New York Times has reported that the Mavs plan to open their practice facility on Thursday.
This news would make the Mavs the 23rd team to have their facilities open for "voluntary and socially distanced player workouts". Continue to monitor the wire as we should learn more about the potential of the league resuming in early June.

On Tuesday afternoon, AmicoHoops reported (via Twitter) that an unidentified NBA GM told them the league has seriously discussed resuming the current NBA season on Wednesday, July 22.
Nothing has been officially announced, by any means, and this is the first we've heard of specific target date(s) from anyone. It's looking like the continuation of the season will occur in Orlando at Walt Disney World at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex, which has accommodations for at least some of what the NBA has planned for a resuming activity. As we have relayed numerous times recently, the next week or two seem to be a likely window for some decisions from Adam Silver and Co. at the NBA league office to start to come down. Stay tuned, hoops fans.

May 26, 2020, 8:47 pmDamian LillardPG, Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard announced on Tuesday evening that, in the event of a continuation of the NBA season, he would not be participating if the Blazers are scheduled to play 'meaningless games' with no shot at making the playoffs.
"If we come back and they're just like, 'We're adding a few games to finish the regular season,' and they're throwing us out there for meaningless games and we don't have a true opportunity to get into the playoffs, I'm going to be with my team because I'm a part of the team. But I'm not going to be participating," Lillard told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday morning. It's hard to blame him, as it is quite easy to see the potential situation from his point of view. There have been countless scenarios tossed around by the league office during the pandemic period, but nothing is set in stone so far. Lillard, for his part, is only interested in returning to action if there exists a legitimate shot for his Blazers to reach the NBA Finals. Fair enough.

May 26, 2020, 8:34 pmJoel EmbiidC, Philadelphia Sixers
The Sixers, who have their practice facility located in nearby Camden, NJ, will allow voluntary player workouts at the facility beginning on Wednesday, raising the number of NBA teams who have been able to do so to 22.
The Celtics, Knicks, Bulls, Pistons, Wizards, Mavericks, Spurs and Warriors are the final teams remaining who are unable to return to their practice facilities. The NBA seems to be inching ever so close to, at the very least, announcing a plan for a continuation of the current season. This next week or two should be very eventful on that front.

May 26, 2020, 8:26 pmClint CapelaC, Atlanta Hawks
Hawks GM Travis Schlenk indicated on Tuesday that Clint Capela (right heel, plantar fasciitis) could very well play in the event of an NBA restart.
"Clint [Capela] says he's feeling better, and there's a possibility that we can get him back on the court," Schlenk said in a phone interview with ESPN. "Practicing and playing five games would be valuable to us." Capela has yet to see the floor for the Hawks since he was acquired at the deadline from the Rockets, and one would have to surmise that he would be under a heavy minutes restriction if the league resumes and if the Hawks deem him healthy enough to give it a go. Still two big "ifs," but this is obviously positive news for the Hawks and potentially for fantasy owners who have managed to stash Capela in an injury slot this long.

May 26, 2020, 8:17 pmMohamed BambaC, Orlando Magic
Magic center Mo Bamba said on Tuesday that he's spent the quarantine period bulking up, self-proclaiming that he's put on close to 30 pounds of muscle.
Bamba said of his time off, ""I've worked my tail off during this quarantine. This is going to sound weird, but I put on probably about 28 pounds since quarantine (started)." He laughed and added that only about 2.5 percent of the weight he's put on is body fat. Bamba, along with many other NBA players, "can't wait to get back out there and work" which is a great sign for the Magic and their fans. Jonathan Isaac is becoming more and more of a potential option for the team when/if the season is resumed as the days pass, so his presence would limit Bamba's chances on the offensive end of the floor. The team has yet to decide whether or not they want to play Isaac at all the rest of the season, regardless of the rumblings about a restart from the league office. However, this bulk-up on Bamba's part is nonetheless pretty impressive and is certainly noteworthy.

The Hornets are the latest team to re-open their facilities, with the Novant Health Training Center set to open up on Tuesday.
With this, there are only eight teams left to open their practice courts back up, though nobody has been able to engage in any sort of team work yet. Individual workouts are better than no workouts, however, and the league appears to be getting its ducks in a row in terms of returning to play. There's still no firm timelines but things do appear to be heading in the right direction.

Jon Leuer has announced his retirement from basketball.
Injuries completely destroyed Leuer's career, as he played in a combined 49 games over the previous two seasons with zero appearances in the 2019-20 campaign. Leuer's high point came with the Suns, where he averaged 8.5 points to go with 5.6 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and a 38.2 mark from deep. His eight-year career comes to an end, with Leuer saying that his body simply won't let him play at a high level anymore.

When people approach you to ask for money, sometimes they really need help. But in most cases, they are not homeless. Many panhandlers use the money you give them to fuel addictions and other self-destructive behaviors.
Even small donations can help to create significant programs to help people in need. Social service organizations in Salt Lake City provide services for people who find themselves in need, but they can't do it without your support. Instead of giving spare change to panhandlers, please consider making a generous donation of money or time to the community organizations dedicated to solving problems and helping the homeless.
Downtown social service providers include:
- Catholic Community Services: Weigand Homeless Day Center
- St Vincent de Paul Dining Hall / Dinner at Vinny's
- The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake
- Volunteers of America
- The Road Home
- The Fourth Street Clinic
Panhandling is not an issue unique to downtown or Salt Lake City - it is a problem in communities across the Wasatch Front and across the nation. Every problem has a solution. Decide to help fight homelessness in a way that benefits the entire community. Then you can know you've given, without being taken.
