Jon Jones continued his run of dominance with an excellent performance in a decision win over game challenger Glover Teixeira in the main event of UFC 172 in Baltimore. Jones retains the light-heavyweight top spot as we unveil this month's MMA rankings:
1. Cain Velasquez
2. Fabricio Werdum
3. Junior Dos Santos
4. Travis Browne
5. Antonio Silva
6. Josh Barnett
7. Alistair Overeem
8. Stipe Miocic
9. Mark Hunt
10. Roy Nelson
The big UFC heavyweight title showdown between champion Cain Velasquez and number one contender Fabricio Werdum will take place November 15 at UFC's first ever show in Mexico. Mexico remains one of the MMA markets with the most growth potential. The most significant impending heavyweight fight was cancelled when Junior Dos Santos suffered an injury prior to his May 31 bout with Stipe Miocic. Miocic will now face light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado to headline a card in Sao Paulo.
Light Heavyweight
1. Jon Jones
2. Alexander Gustafsson
3. Daniel Cormier
4. Rashad Evans
5. Anthony Johnson
6. Phil Davis
7. Glover Teixeira
8. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
9. Ryan Bader
10. Dan Henderson
There will be no time for Jones to rest on his laurels as a series of challengers are lined up for his title. Alexander Gustafsson is next in a rematch of Jones' toughest challenge. Daniel Cormier follows if he can defeat Dan Henderson Saturday night in Las Vegas. And Anthony Johnson threw his hat in the cage with an impressive win over Phil Davis in his return to the UFC.
1. Chris Weidman
2. Anderson Silva
3. Vitor Belfort
4. Lyoto Machida
5. Luke Rockhold
6. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza
7. Gegard Mousasi
8. Yushin Okami
9. Tim Kennedy
10. Mark Munoz
Luke Rockhold improved his record to 12-2 with a slick inverted triangle/kimura submission over Tim Boetsch in the first round of their UFC 172 contest. Rockhold remains one of the top challengers for Chris Weidman's UFC title. In two weekends, contenders Mark Munoz and Gegard Mousasi will battle in Germany attempting to rebound from setbacks against Lyoto Machida.
1. Johny Hendricks
2. Rory MacDonald
3. Jake Ellenberger
4. Tyron Woodley
5. Matt Brown
6. Carlos Condit
7. Robbie Lawler
8. Ben Askren
9. Hector Lombard
10. Jake Shields
10. Dong Hyun Kim
All Matt Brown does these days is win. Once discounted as a limited brawler with a mediocre record, Brown finds himself on the verge of a title shot in arguably the sport's most talented division. His brutal come from behind TKO win over Erick Silva was his seventh in a row and if he can make it eight in his next fight, that could be enough for a crack at UFC gold.
1. Anthony Pettis
2. Gilbert Melendez
3. Ben Henderson
4. Khabib Nurmagomedov
5. T.J. Grant
6. Eddie Alvarez
7. Josh Thomson
8. Nate Diaz
9. Jim Miller
10. Donald Cerrone
Jim Miller won his second fight in a row with a guillotine choke over Yancy Medeiros. He'll get a more high profile opponent next time out. Michael Chandler falls out of the top 10 with his second straight loss, but few question his talent. Most thought he won both of those fights, against Eddie Alvarez and Will Brooks. But the judges felt differently. Now, Eddie Alvarez and Will Brooks will fight to crown a Bellator lightweight champion.
1. Jose Aldo
2. Chad Mendes
3. Cub Swanson
4. Frank Edgar
5. Pat Curran
6. Dustin Poirier
7. Ricardo Lamas
8. Daniel Straus
9. Patricio "Pitbull" Freire
10. Dennis Bermudez
UFC's return to the Staples Center on August 2 will be headlined by a featherweight title bout between champion Jose Aldo and challenger Chad Mendes. Aldo knocked out Mendes in their first fight but Mendes has dominated since. Many if not most in the sport consider Mendes to be Aldo's most dangerous potential opponent at 145 pounds with Mendes' mix of striking and wrestling.
1. Renan Barao
2. Dominick Cruz
3. Urijah Faber
4. Raphael Assuncao
5. Michael McDonald
6. Bibiano Fernandes
7. Eduardo Dantas
8. T.J. Dillashaw
9. Takeya Mizugaki
10. Eddie Wineland
Eddie Wineland tumbles down the rankings with an emphatic knockout loss to Johnny Eduardo. It's getting to be a barren landscape at 135 pounds, with a less talented group of fighters than other weight classes and few who haven't already lost to champion Renan Barao.
Women's Bantamweight
1. Ronda Rousey
2. Cat Zingano
3. Alexis Davis
4. Sarah Kaufman
5. Miesha Tate
6. Sara McMann
7. Jessica Eye
8. Lauren Murphy
9. Jessica Andrade
10. Holly Holm
The next challenger for Ronda Rousey's title is Alexis Davis. Davis has a solid game and momentum heading into this fight, but few give her much of a chance in her July title opportunity.
1. Demetrious Johnson
2. Joseph Benavidez
3. John Dodson
4. Ali Bagautinov
5. Ian McCall

Climbed Hitchcock gully yesterday and noticed a what looks like a new bolted mixed line on the left wall of the upper pitch. It starts about 35' farther up the pitch than Dial M for Murder. It looks to have 4 bolts on it and looks to be more of a moderate line.Wondering if anyone has any info on the route. I almost jumped on it but it looks like rock gear may be needed between the 3rd and 4th bolt.

So Have You Shopped the Super Double Coupons at Kmart?
17 comments:
- The Prudent Patron said...
I've gone every day so far. They have taken multiples of the same coupon. They aren't giving any overages and unlike last year the shelves aren't completely cleared of all the good deals yet.
- April 6, 2010 at 5:59 PM
- Anonymous said...
I WENT TODAY TO GET THE ALL LAUNDRY DETERGENT. GOT 4 FOR FREE USING THE $2.00 OFF COUPONS (used 4 q's). ALL WENT WELL.
- April 6, 2010 at 6:02 PM

I went and the cashier did not know what to do with the shop your way card so the manager was called. The manager told me that it is kmart coporate policy NOT to accept internet coupons and that if any cashier or any Kmart anywhere does they are wrong.
Is this true? Is there a Kmart corporate policy statement anywhere that I can take with me? Has anyone had this problem, and if so, what did you do?
- April 6, 2010 at 6:03 PM

No, personally I find they are so rude as a chain that it is not worth my effort, even for one or two good free items. I'm gonna put principle before money on the issue of dealing with them. -Amanda Y. (ayyogurt)(at)(yahoo)
- April 6, 2010 at 7:19 PM
- Amanda said...
I have shopped every day and walked away paying only a few cents each day. They are not being particular at all about how many of each item you get, only that you can use 5 coupons a day per rewards card. I have 2 cards though - mine and my boyfriend's, so I am able to do 10 deals a day. However, that has gotten me some great savings! I have managed to get razors, sunflower seeds, toothpaste, feminine products, tweezers, and makeup for free. Plus, that last free set of items qualified me for a $10 P&G rebate by mail. All in all, I think it was a great deal!
- April 6, 2010 at 8:15 PM
- Amanda said...
I forgot about getting the free laundry detergent! Kmart does not have a printed coupon policy, but I know they let me use the internet printable coupons. I think every store kind of makes up their own rules as they go. And to the other poster, you are right about the rudeness. I put in a complaint while I was at the store yesterday with the manager about her CS people and the assistant managers. I do not know how much good it did, but I felt better afterwards!
- April 6, 2010 at 8:32 PM
- Kathy S. said...
I have gone twice and have been successful both times. I have used internet coupons with no problem. A couple of coupons have beeped for no apparent reason, but the cashiers have been able to override the system and take the coupons. There is no overage, but, hey, the item is still free! I want to go back again at least one more time to try and get the $10 P&G prepaid Mastercard deal. Other than that, I'm about out of ideas on what to get because KMart's prices seem extremely high.
- April 6, 2010 at 9:00 PM
- Jennifer said...
Kmart's OLD coupon policy stated that they would not take Internet coupons. However, that changed almost a year ago. You may want to email or call Kmart's corporate office and get something emailed directly to you so that you can take it to the store with you. You might also request that corporate call and set the manager straight on their coupon policy.
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 1-866-562-7848
I actually just sent an email to them. If I get an answer back, I'll be sure to post it for you!
- April 6, 2010 at 9:03 PM
- Jennifer said...
I may have to stop for the All detergent. I think I have 3 coupons, and I'm almost out of detergent.
- April 6, 2010 at 9:03 PM
- Jennifer said...
Amanda - I've started kindly complaining about employees who are misinformed/rude too. I've seen some results at Rite Aid and CVS, so hopefully the manager at your Kmart store takes you seriously. In our current economic environment (and with Kmart struggling to stay afloat financially), they may pay more attention to what customers have to say.
Kathy - You're SO right that Kmart's prices are high. I don't usually shop there except during the double coupon events. And then I'm just seeking out the good deals... nothing else!
- April 6, 2010 at 9:11 PM
- Tara said...
I did three days of deals. Once you get passed the fact that no one knows what going on the end result is that you walk out of there with free things. I did 5 shampoos (3 Pantene from the $2Q that Pantene sent through Vocalpoint- 1 Loreal and 1 Dove), 5 deodorants (all Dove which I love), 2 Soft Scrub, 1 Dentastix and 2 John Frieda styling products and I believe I paid $4 oop total. But I also got a $5 catalina for the Dove deodorants so I guess I made $1. :) No matter how frustrating it was to have to go in three times to use 15 coupons (It IS frustrating) it really is worth it in my opinion. P.S. I will never go to KMART again without due cause! There prices are too high!! Good luck!

1 Gilette Men's Body Wash = $4
1 Pack Pampers = $9.99
1 Swiffer Sweeper Refills = $4.89
2 Tampax Pearls = $8.98
I had $2 coupons for each item so it equaled the max total of $10 off, plus $10 P&G Rebate = $1.07 Moneymaker!!
- April 6, 2010 at 9:55 PM
- Chrys said...
I had no problems with my Kmart. I used my rewards card and was able to do 3 transactions in a row last night (5 coupons each transaction). My mom was with me and did 5 transactions in a row. Our Kmart has always always stuck to the 10 coupon limit in the past, but they had no problems with me doing multiple transactions this time around.
- April 7, 2010 at 12:03 AM
- Jennifer said...
Wow, Chrys! I was near Kmart today, so I shopped a little. I did one transaction and stopped at that. I may have to see if my store will allow multiples. That would make it worth a trip.

Great moneymaker, Rachel!

They were so rude (and always are) and their stuff was so overpriced that it really isn't worth it for me to go back. When I got in the only line open I stood there for about 5 minutes and then realized another cashier had opened her register. No one was in her line.. she was just standing there. No "I'll take the next person in line" or anything. Then she looked annoyed when I got in her line.
They even somehow managed to miss one of my coupons and had shoved it in that little drawer thing before I caught it. UGH. I keep seeing all these deals people are getting and I just can't even stand the thought of walking back in that store. So Kmart doubles are OVER for me.

Thanks so much for the Kmart contact information and your great advice. I really appreciate it!
I'll contact them today.Thanks again!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A proposal to let school districts take up to four additional weather-related days off this year has cleared an Ohio House committee.
The House Education Committee voted 16-2 in favor of the proposal Wednesday. It would still need approval from the full House and Senate.
Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) has advocated for adding extra calamity days on a one-time basis because of this year's unusually severe weather, including the deep freeze that canceled classes in many districts early this week.
Many schools have exhausted their five allowable days off for snow or bad weather, meaning they would have to extend the school year with makeup days. Kasich has said that could "wreak havoc" on school budgets and schedules.

Did I mention a writing contest? Breaking News!
"Well, just tell all the other voices you don't want to hear from them today."
Ah, yes, another insightful conversation with evilkev. Who happened to be home yesterday. It's called a long weekend, only it doesn't mean much to us writer-types, who work seven days a week, driven simply by our passion. Or some sort of compulsive disorder.
But it was interesting, because in the past week, he has flooded me with ideas for our upcoming contest. Ah, yes, did someone mention a contest?
Well, I'll get to that in a moment. It's our sneak peek, found first on Sandrablabber. Because I'm being contaminated by the evil I married. It's not my fault.
Anyway, as I was saying, evilkev has given me idea after idea. Man, you'd think he'd learn after all this time, but noooo. He must impose his vision for a story upon me and try to force me to write it the way he sees it.
It's Misery without the crazed fan. Just psychospouse. Anyway, much as I've told Kevin time and again you have to write the story that's calling to you, he still barges in, like a kid, gushing with enthusiasm about this great idea he has for me.
I remember when he came in and started yapping to me and I said, "Be quiet! There are voices talking in my head and I have to hear what they're saying."
Aw, come on. You writers understand. Right? I'm not completely crazy… Am I?
Anyway, it finally happened. Oh, not with the first story he gave me. Or the second or, for that matter, the third.
But I finally found the trigger point, the voice of the narrative, that beautiful first line that just tells you "this is going to work".
And it's my own friggin' idea, so get over it Kev.
Although I will readily admit that he inspires thoughts of murder on an almost daily basis.
But do you know what I mean? Not just with writing, although I think of that, but that moment when you know that everything is just going to go perfectly? I suppose stepping on the ice before performing your free program and having that feeling that you're just on would be comparable… Oh, yeah, I'm talking about the moment when you have your perfect starting point. Not the moment my husband inspires you to think of murder.
Now, what's that about a contest, you say?
Next week, we will launch the Cozy Noir contest. What is cozy noir, you ask?
Well, guess what? We need a definition.
And that's where the pre-contest contest comes in.
Here's the idea. Noir stories, unusual protagonists. Now, conversely, I suppose cozy noir could also be cozy stories with unusual protagonists. Of course, being the sickos we are, we were thinking of the first definition. If you're a bit hazy on subgenre definitions, check out the subgenre guide.
So, here's the deal. I need your tag line and definition. How would you describe Cozy Noir?
Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and give me your suggestion. Say "Cozy Noir Definition" in the subject line please so I don't miss it. If anybody emails, on Thursday, I'll post the top contenders and let you, the reading public, vote for the winner.
This is when we find out that only two people read my blog, and my mother-in-law is one of them…
The winner will get their choice of a $10 amazon gift certificate or a copy of the Spinetingler Anthology with my signature in it. Or I'll buy you a drink at a conference if I'm going to see you in person. Or maybe the prize would be having me NOT buy you a drink and leave you in peace. I'm easy.*
Which substantially increases the value. Not. But the anthology does have this really cool short story in it by Stuart MacBride.
And here's the inside scoop on the contest. Stories can be submitted between June 21 and September 5 – stories submitted before or after will not be considered. You will need to check the next issue and follow the submission guidelines.
And we're cutting it off at 100 entries. Which is why knowing now is a bit of an edge, because it gives you one extra week to get those creative juices flowing.
No editing on the contest, so take the time to polish your entry. There will be one or two sample stories in the next issue of Spinetingler so that you have an idea of exactly what we mean.
And prizes? Well, publication in our Winter Issue and an autographed book. No, you don't get an autographed book by each author, but you get at least one book, maybe more. We will have autographed books by Mark Billingham, Anne Frasier, Simon Kernick, JA Konrath, Stuart MacBride, Ian Rankin, Cornelia Read, JD Rhoades, David Skibbons and Duane Swierczynski. Some will be ARC's of their next works, some will be UK copies of books not yet released in the US…
And I would like to thank all of these fantastic authors for agreeing to sign books for us. No coercion was involved in securing their agreement, I assure you.
Other than the threat of 10,000 spam emails from me. See the lengths I go to to get decent prizes, people? I'm committed.
Oh, and there is NO ENTRY FEE for the contest either.
Blogdom is growing
Another fantastic author blog, The Lady Killers, featuring Lyn Hamilton, Mary Ann Evans, Meg Chittenden, Rhys Bowen and Cara Black. Another clique that's making me feel alone and unwanted. Well fine, phooey on them.
But they still have a cool blog, so check it out.
Oh, for the love of god (or not) – Da Vinci sequels>
Aparently, Sony has the rights to Da Vinci code movies #2 and #3.
I can see it now: Da Vinci Code II: Jesus's kid's stepbrother's descendants revenge.
And the fantastic JT Ellison sent me a link yesterday to the evolution of dance.
Word is, Stuart MacBride will be performing this live at Harrogate, Saturday 2 am. Right after his karaoke session with James Oswald.
Tomorrow, more kitten pictures! And if you're artistic and would like to draw a picture for our cozy noir cover, email me. Kevin has an idea, but no talent. And we'll like you a whole lot.
And damn, you guys! This is just too frickin' funny! Unless you worked at the food plant. Would you like a hand grenade with your fries? Ah, no, I think I'll pass.
Those Europeans. Always trying something new.
* Not that way, Forrest.

The idea of cozy noir is absolutely killing me! I can't wait to see what people come up with. Great concept!

See how you are with the innuendo? God, you're good. (Lucky Kev!) And I NEVER said you were "easy." Even though you've admitted it yourself. I have SOME respect for you Canucks.
Actually I have some SERIOUS respect for someone who can think of 22,397 ways to kill me, AND get away with it. So there's NO disrespect meant or intended or even inferred.
Interesting concept, this contest. Wonder if I oughta jump jenres and just jot down some jiffy notes, then jink them into a juke joint journal? Am I noir enough yet? Or do I actually have to write about blood, guts, and glory? (God Bless George Bush for sending all those kids to Iraq and getting many of them killed. Opens up all KINDS of employment positions here at home. Yeah, Prosperity! Boo, King George.)
Um, wait...didn't we already revolt against King George once? The Boston Tea Party? Or was that some OTHER King? I'm so old I'm fuzzy on the details...and I was there!!

Personally, as a former- and degree-holding Journalist, I find the following statement to be a sad commentary on the statelessness of the field:
"There was no danger to the general public on either days," said a company statement.
Where the hell did they get "days" to coincide with "either"? Or am I so far off in my SinTax that I got it wrong (again!)?
God, the way the Toronto Star can slaughter the King's English. Whatever happened to good ol' Texan? I KNOW owah influence reaches at LEAST that far...

JT, I too can't wait! I think there will be a lot of fun and a lot of disturbing stories. I'm pretty psyched about it.
Forrest, yeah, The Toronto Star is, well, in Toronto. (Ducks while Torontonians launch rotten tomatoes at western Canada.)
But I'm glad my murderous skills have earned me at least your respect.

I am totally stoked re. contest. Okay, I've got about zero free time at the moment, but the cozy noir concept rocks! I'm especially excited because what I've been working on is something I'm calling a "hard cozy." Not up to noir nastiness, but a far cry from the trad. cozy bloodless storyline. I only hope I can squeeze in a little extra time to work something up...More coffee. Must have more coffee now!

My husband tried to help me the other night with my novel (he's my little proofreader but sometimes forgets where his duties end). He had a really cool sentence for my novel and got quite pissed off when I didn't jump up and down for joy. It was a great night. Resulted in one of those conversations only people who know each other really well get into. The conversation where you're both so tired and you're making digs at each other without really saying anything at all.
Great idea for a contest. I have a cool story idea but it's always finding the time that kills me. But at least it's something to aspire to.
- 4:49 p.m.
- Sandra Ruttan said...
Well Angie and Amra, you guys have some extra time. And we don't start taking entries until late June. So, let the ideas simmer, see what happens.
Hard cozy. I like that.
And Amra, oh, do I understand those conversations... Boy, do I ever!

Cozy noir is when there's a mix-up at the pharmacy and Miss Marple gets given benzodiazepine instead of her arthritis pills.
Or am I missing the point?

Cozy Noir? It's a dark and dreary night and Grandma is sitting in her rocker with an AK47 strapped to her chest while knitting in her rocker surrounded by her maneating cats.

Oh Andrea, I think you can!
evilkev, it's not nice to think that about our cats. Really.

My God! I go have one day of a real life and you post like 15 blog posts.
That's a helluva list of prizes. I'll be very envious of the winners. Bummed I can't enter, but I look forward to writing up a promo cozy noir for this. Cozy noir is like a luger in bunny slippers.
How's that - can you use that for a tag line?
Or cozy noir is like a glock in bunny slippers?

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, known commonly only as Rembrandt, is considered a master of Western Art. With more than 600 paintings and about 2,000 drawings and etchings, (and even more that have been lost as time passed) he is one of the most prolific artists of all time. The variety of the subjects used in his work is amazing when compared to others who specialized in only certain types of painting. Nudes, landscapes, portraits, everyday scenes, birds and animals, historical and mythological figures, biblical subjects, and self-portraits are all to be found in his creations.
Rembrandt was born in Leiden, The Netherlands on July 15, 1606, the son of a miller of modest means. His education was not neglected, but the university bored him and he later dropped out to study art. He began with a local teacher and then left to study in Amsterdam where he mastered his lessons in six months. He returned to Leiden and at only 22 was already taking on students. He moved back to Amsterdam in 1631 and later married Saskia van Uylenburgh, the cousin of a successful art dealer who would enhance his career, introducing him to wealthy patrons who commissioned portraits fr ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

BEIRUT (AP) — An international human rights group said Tuesday it has strong evidence that Syrian army helicopters dropped bombs carrying chlorine gas on three rebel-held towns last month.
The report by the New-York based Human Rights Watch adds to concerns that chemical weapons are still being used in Syria, eight months after a chemical attack killed hundreds of civilians in the suburbs of the capital, Damascus.
The Syrian government did not immediately comment on the HRW claims. It has accused rebels of using chlorine gas in the past.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which monitors the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, sent a team to Syria this month to investigate the chlorine claims.
OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan declined to comment on the Human Rights Watch report.
"We are there to do our own, independent fact finding mission," he said.
In its report, Human Rights Watch said that forces loyal to President Bashar Assad likely used chlorine gas packed into crude bombs in attacks in mid-April on three towns near a military base in northern Syria. Those attacks killed at least 11 people, and wounded as many as 500, it said.
Chlorine gas in bombs is not very lethal, but HRW said it appeared to have been used to terrorize residents and cause widespread panic.
Human Rights Watch said testimony from eye-witnesses, including medics, showed the wounded suffered from exposure to chlorine gas, and there were canister fragments that showed the labels of the factory where the canisters were produced.
The group said two attacks took place in the town of Kfar Zeita, on April 11 and April 18, and killed two people. The town of Temanaa was attacked on April 13 and 18, killing six people, it said. An attack on the town of Telmans on April 21 killed three, according to HRW.
There were no details as to whether there was any unusually heavy fighting in the area at the time. Associated Press interviews in late April with more than a dozen activists, medics and residents on the opposition side found consistent claims that chlorine gas was used in Kfar Zeita.
Although chlorine canisters are widely-available and easy to use, Nadim Houry of Human Rights Watch said the government was the most likely perpetrator.
"This happened on multiple days, in different locations, and there is a consistency in what happened," Houry said. "That's what gave us that level of confidence to say there is strong evidence pointing in this direction."
Syrian forces frequently drop crude explosive-laden barrels onto rebel-held areas from helicopters, and opposition fighters do not have military aircraft.
HRW said half of the witnesses it spoke to reported seeing clouds of yellowish smoke as the bombs went off, which is consistent with chlorine gas.
Remnants of the canisters indicated they were dropped from a significant height, and the multiple attacks over several days, each with consistent testimony, the group said.
"I was less than one kilometer (half mile) away and saw the helicopter roaming and dropping the bomb," Human Rights Watch quoted an unidentified eye-witness from Telmans. "I followed the dark yellowish smoke ... As soon as I arrived I smelled a horrible, strong smell. I started coughing and tears came from my eyes. People around me were suffocating."
Human Rights Watch underscored that the use of chlorine gas as a weapon is prohibited under international law.
"This is one more reason for the U.N. Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court," Houry said.
Following the deadly chemical attack outside Damascus in August, the Syrian government averted U.S. airstrikes by agreeing to dismantle its chemical program. A joint U.N.-OPCW mission overseeing the removal of Assad's chemical arsenal said 92 percent of Syria's stockpile has been transported to Danish and Norwegian ships for destruction at sea. The entire stockpile is to be purged by the end of June.
Speaking aboard a Danish ship taking part in the mission, Denmark's foreign minister urged Syria to relinquish the last of its chemical agents.
"That is the clear message to the Syrian government that we expect them to deliver the last containers as soon as possible, hopefully within days," Lidegaard told The Associated Press aboard the Ark Futura as it lay at anchor in international waters off the coast of Cyprus.
Also Tuesday, Syria's main Western-backed opposition group welcomed a decision from France and Germany not to allow Syrians to vote remotely in Syria's June 3 presidential election — a poll Assad is widely expected to win.
In a statement, the Syrian National Coalition called for other countries to take similar measures in an international boycott of the vote.
The opposition and its Western backers, including the U.S, France and Germany, have rejected the planned election in the middle of Syria's civil war as a sham.
Associated Press writers Ryan Lucas in Beirut, and Menelaos Hadjicostis aboard the cargo ship Ark Futura contributed to this report.

TAKE THAT, FROSTY: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston sic Marley on a snowman.
Owen Wilson learns some life lessons from a seriously cute puppy in 'Marley & Me'
By Richard von Busack
NOW that Bottle Rockets has been released on Criterion, can Owen Wilson get some respect? His clueless affability—as close to a male dumb blond as we get in 2008—gets misused by directors. The sad truth in life is that nice guys get pushed around. In his better movies, Wilson evinces the melancholy of a man surrendering to forces beyond his control. Certainly Wilson's off-screen behavior suggests that there is some melancholy there.
Marley & Me is one of Wilson's best. It's based on former Miami Herald reporter and columnist John Grogan's memoir of the yellow Labrador in his life. (Grogan's colleague Carl Hiassen would have seemed to have memorialized the same infernal dog in his novel Sick Puppy.)
The funny thing is that 20th Century-Fox can sell this film as a comedy about an oafish mutt like Marmaduke (a.k.a. "Herr Hitler's Giant Canine"). It is just that, but the PG rating needs to be noted. As played by a kennel of slobbering misbehaving dogs, this composite Marley is beyond the limits of the word cute.
But the movie works because there is an understory of growing disappointment in middle-aged life; perhaps that's the results of scriptwriter Don Roos' contributions. A cover version of "Lithium" by Nirvana plays when Marley & Me shows us aerial footage of swimming pools and lawns; it's not a blithe endorsement of the suburbs.
In Kalamazoo, the daily-paper journalist, John (Wilson), marries a woman, Jenny (Jennifer Aniston), with an agenda: she wants to have kids. John tries to hold off the inevitable by buying her a puppy. His single-guy best pal gives him sage advice: "If you get a kid, you're a dad. If you get a dog, you're a master."
After they move to Miami, John chooses a "clearance puppy" he names after Bob Marley. The pooch is a four-legged wrecking crew, a major discipline problem that even an expert dog whisperer (Kathleen Turner in a one-scene part) can't handle. Marley devours upholstery, chews through drywall and howls whenever there's a thunderstorm—and the thunderstorms never stop in south Florida. After becoming a popular newspaper columnist, John finally gets jostled into becoming a parent. He turns 40 before he realizes what happened.
Wilson is the perfect calm straight man to a four-legged bundle of nerves. As Jenny, the one who really holds the leash in this story, Aniston is right in her ballpark. She's decorative, of course, and as a longtime TV star she knows just about how much bitchiness an audience can stand without rebelling. Even Alan Arkin handles a traditional role (the baleful newspaper editor) and makes it fresh; I think it's possible Arkin improvised some lines.

Eventually, John moves his family from Florida to Pennsylvania. He tries, futilely, to become a hard news reporter and to fight his destiny—a destiny to become Dagwood Bumstead. There's another reason for the change of scenery from an endless summer land to snow country, and readers of the book will be ready for it. Some of the rest of the pungency in this good all-around film must be the nostalgia factor. After a century of cross-promotion between journalism and cinema, this is bound to be the last major movie in which the contemporary hero is a daily-newspaper writer.
MARLEY & ME (PG; 115 min.), directed by David Frankel, written by Scott Frank and Don Roos, based on the book by John Grogan, photographed by Florian Ballhaus and starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, opens Dec. 25.

Microsoft Corp. hasn't divulged detailed plans for the next release of its Zune music player, but a company executive last week offered hints that seem to support reports that a flash memory-based Zune and 80-gigabyte device could be in the works.
It hasn't been a matter of if Microsoft plans to expand its Zune product line beyond the several 30-gigabyte players it has on the market, it's been a matter of when. At its annual financial analyst meeting last week, Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, said Microsoft plans to "broaden" the Zune brand with new styles, capacity sizes and price points as well as new features, though he did not reveal the timing of releases or exact product specifications.
Matt Rosoff, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, said Microsoft is definitely working on a flash memory-based Zune and models with higher capacity than the current 30-gigabyte version, but the company has not yet discussed specific details of the forthcoming Zune models.
He also confirmed that Microsoft hopes to get the new Zunes to the market in time for the busy Christmas shopping season, which typically begins in late November. "They're cranking to get them out in time for the holidays," Rosoff said.
In the meantime, several device-centric blogs, including Zune Scene, Whiz Byte, Gadgetell and others reported that an 80-gigabyte Zune code-named "Scorpio" and a flash memory-based Zune code-named Draco are currently in the works.
Zune Scene also has reported a production snag that could delay the release of the Scorpio device. According to a post on the blog late last week, the production schedule of Scorpio has been delayed due to problems with wiring. The blog also said that production on Scorpio was expected to be completed on Aug. 31 but has now been pushed back to September.
Through its public relations firm, Microsoft said Monday it has not confirmed the existence or current development of new Zune devices or features, but intends to develop the Zune business by expanding device offerings, adding new features and expanding into international markets.
While Microsoft publicly remains optimistic about Zune's ability to compete against the iPod and other MP3 players, sources close to the company report that some inside Microsoft feel that Zune should be scrapped because it is not worth the company's investment. Microsoft said it has shipped more than 1.2 million Zune units since the product was released in November 2006, but consumers still overwhelmingly prefer Apple Inc.'s iPod devices as their choice of multimedia player. Apple sold 9.8 million iPods in its quarter ended June 30th.
In Microsoft's defense, Rosoff reiterated the company's previous acknowledgment that Zune is a long-term investment, not something executives expected to take the market by storm with its first release.
"They're looking at it as a three- or four-year business," he said. "They wanted to have something in the market for 2006. This year they will have a full product line out and when they get to version 3, that's when they will start to become competitive."
Rosoff added that though he does not know exactly how much Microsoft has invested in Zune, he is sure it is far less than the billions the company has pumped into its Xbox console. "Compared with the Xbox it hasn't been an expensive product," he said.

Kabul, Afghanistan — Compromise, conflict, or collapse: ask an Afghan what to expect in 2014 and you're likely to get a scenario that falls under one of those three headings. 2014, of course, is the year of the double whammy in Afghanistan: the next presidential election coupled with the departure of most American and other foreign forces. Many Afghans fear a turn for the worse, while others are no less afraid that everything will stay the same. Some even think things will get better when the occupying forces leave. Most predict a more conservative climate, but everyone is quick to say that it's anybody's guess.
Only one thing is certain in 2014: it will be a year of American military defeat. For more than a decade, U.S. forces have fought many types of wars in Afghanistan, from a low-footprint invasion, to multiple surges, to a flirtation with Vietnam-style counterinsurgency, to a ramped-up, gloves-off air war. And yet, despite all the experiments in styles of war-making, the American military and its coalition partners have ended up in the same place: stalemate, which in a battle with guerrillas means defeat. For years, a modest-sized, generally unpopular, ragtag set of insurgents has fought the planet's most heavily armed, technologically advanced military to a standstill, leaving the country shaken and its citizens anxiously imagining the outcome of unpalatable scenarios.
The first, compromise, suggests the possibility of reaching some sort of almost inconceivable power-sharing agreement with multiple insurgent militias. While Washington presses for negotiations with its designated enemy, "the Taliban," representatives of President Hamid Karzai's High Peace Council, which includes 12 members of the former Taliban government and many sympathizers, are making the rounds to talk disarmament and reconciliation with all the armed insurgent groups that the Afghan intelligence service has identified across the country. There are 1,500 of them.
One member of the Council told me, "It will take a long time before we get to Mullah Omar [the Taliban's titular leader]. Some of these militias can't even remember what they've been fighting about."
The second scenario, open conflict, would mean another dreaded round of civil war like the one in the 1990s, after the Soviet Union withdrew in defeat — the one that destroyed the Afghan capital, Kabul, devastated parts of the country, and gave rise to the Taliban.
The third scenario, collapse, sounds so apocalyptic that it's seldom brought up by Afghans, but it's implied in the exodus already underway of those citizens who can afford to leave the country. The departures aren't dramatic. There are no helicopters lifting off the roof of the U.S. Embassy with desperate Afghans clamoring to get on board; just a record number of asylum applications in 2011, a year in which, according to official figures, almost 36,000 Afghans were openly looking for a safe place to land, preferably in Europe. That figure is likely to be at least matched, if not exceeded, when the U.N. releases the complete data for 2012.
In January, I went to Kabul to learn what old friends and current officials are thinking about the critical months ahead. At the same time, Afghan President Karzai flew to Washington to confer with President Obama. Their talks seem to have differed radically from the conversations I had with ordinary Afghans. In Kabul, where strange rumors fly, an official reassured me that the future looked bright for the country because Karzai was expected to return from Washington with the promise of American radar systems, presumably for the Afghan Air Force, which is not yet "operational." (He actually returned withthe promise of helicopters, cargo planes, fighter jets, and drones.) Who knew that the fate of the nation and its suffering citizens hinged on that? In my conversations with ordinary Afghans, one thing that never came up was radar.

Visitors to the cafeteria at St. Luke's Hospital can enjoy a visual culinary treat, thanks to South Dartmouth artist Roger Kizik.
Visitors to the cafeteria at St. Luke's Hospital can enjoy a visual culinary treat, thanks to South Dartmouth artist Roger Kizik.
The well-known painter was commissioned early last year by Southcoast Hospitals Group to enliven the dining space with food-related images. After giving the project considerable thought, he created 18 colorful images of local and regional products and kitchen tools that are familiar to most folks and help create a comfortable environment sprinkled with touches of humor and nostalgia.
"It was a challenge, but I did have a lot of artistic freedom, " begins Kizik, a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art.
The artist, who grew up in Medford, enjoys regional cuisine and shopping at local farms for seasonal produce. This appreciation is reflected in the cafeteria installation, which contains such elements as a large, colorful lobster, a tin of Gonsalves Portuguese sardines, and stalks of mouthwatering asparagus.
Cafeteria guests are introduced to the culinary artwork by a lobby display featuring an image of a battered, stained copy of "The Joy of Cooking," still a popular gift for brides and recent college graduates leaving the nest.
Kizik has referred to the encyclopedic cookbook for more than 40 years, and included it in the cafeteria collection because of its primacy in so many kitchens.
The nostalgic cookbook image is accompanied by a well-worn rolling pin, and a ladle filled with split pea soup, complete with bits of ham.
"It's not my favorite soup, but I've had my share of it," Kizik jokes.
The artist's culinary journey began almost seven decades ago with two parents who were good cooks. As a student, he worked summers with his father, an experienced sausage maker, in a Boston factory that produced hot dogs, kielbasa, Italian sausage and flavorful pastrami.
"There's nothing that tastes better than a hot dog that just came out of the smokehouse," Kizik tells.
Being a true New Englander, Kizik also enjoys fresh seafood. When Barbara Mulville, senior executive vice president of Southcoast Hospitals Group, suggested the culinary-themed project, the artist immediately thought of the tasty marine crustacean that annually draws countless hungry visitors to seafood shacks in the region.
"A lobster — that was the first thing that came into my mind when Barbara said 'cafeteria,'" the accomplished painter recalls.
Mulville praises her artist friend, describing Kizik as a "SouthCoast icon" who made the bare walls of the cafeteria "come alive" with his beautiful work.
She describes the collection as "exciting and fun" and adds that other hospital departments asked if Kizik could also enliven their workspace.
In addition to being entertaining, Mulville notes that the colorful installation also invites many cafeteria customers to develop an appreciation for art and to witness how Kizik "captured the spirit of the outlandish forms that anyone can recognize" and turned them into beautiful pieces of art.
The project took Kizik three months to complete. In his South Dartmouth studio, he painted the vivid images using acrylics on gatorboard. Each element was then carefully cut out and installed one evening when the cafeteria was closed.
One of Kizik's favorite images in the installation shows a pint of Stop and Shop half-and-half, complete with a curious cow popping its head out of the container.
"People would know instantly what it was," the talented artist emphasizes, adding that he selected subjects that will provide visitors and hospital staff with a temporary distraction from their more serious concerns.
According to Kizik, one of the joys of living in SouthCoast is the availability of local produce. He conveyed his appreciation for hardworking farmers and fresh seasonal vegetables by painting verdant spears of asparagus that look as if they were just harvested.
While the artist enjoyed painting the edible treats and kitchen implements, he achieved a lot of satisfaction by capturing the beauty of several ceramic vessels created by Picasso, whose work often inspires Kizik's artistic creations.
"It is a nice tribute to him," Kizik says, adding that the colorful images now allow hospital administrators to boast that "they have a wall of Picassos."
Following is a recipe that Kizik and his companion Andrea Bonsignore often prepare when fresh beets are available at area farms.
Roasted Beets
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel each beet with a vegetable peeler and cut into small chunks. Cut a good-sized onion into medium-sized chunks. Place beets and onions on a rimmed cookie sheet (technically a "jelly roll pan," since the low sides of the pan are helpful) and mix them together with enough olive oil to lightly coat the mixture. Spread the chunks in one layer, and sprinkle rather generously with sea or kosher salt. Roast uncovered for 20 minutes, or until fork tender, which will vary a bit depending upon your chunk size. The onions will curl and brown on the edges, deepening their flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/07/13 -- Broome Capital Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BCP.P), a capital pool company pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated January 14, 2013 to complete a business combination (the "Transaction") with three private Indonesian holding companies: PT Forel Mega Mineral ("Forel"), PT Anak Indonesia Mining ("Anak") and PT For El Shadai ("El Shadai" and collectively the "Minahasa Group") by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Minahasa Group from their shareholders. The three companies in the Minahasa Group are all private companies incorporated under the laws of Indonesia, and collectively have the rights to acquire a 100% interest in the Minahasa Gold Project located in Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Upon completion of the Transaction, the combined entity will be listed as a Tier 2 mining issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange, carrying on the business of the Minahasa Group, which is the further exploration and development of the Minahasa Gold Project and acquisition and development of further exploration projects in Indonesia.
Transaction Summary
The Transaction will be effected by the Company issuing not greater than 12,500,000 common shares to shareholders of the Minahasa Group, which will result in the three companies in the Minahasa Group becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the Company after the Transaction being referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer"). It is currently anticipated that 12,500,000 common shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.20 per security for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million.
The Transaction is an arm's length transaction.
The Company currently has 11,400,000 common shares issued and outstanding, as well as 840,000 Incentive Stock options and 300,000 brokers warrants to acquire common shares at $0.10 per share.

Broome Capital shareholders will hold common shares representing approximately 33.03% of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer following the completion of the Transaction and the concurrent financing on an undiluted basis.
The proposed Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including the entering into by the parties of a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction (such agreement to include representations, warranties, conditions and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature), the completion of satisfactory due diligence investigations, the approval of the directors of each of the Company and of each company in the Minahasa Group, the completion of a financing of the Company generating proceeds of $2 million from the sale of securities, on terms to be determined, at a price of $0.20 per security and the approval of the TSX-V and other applicable regulatory authorities.
The parties intend that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the TSX-V as a Tier 2 mining issuer following completion of the Transaction. Trading in the common shares of the Company will remain halted pending the satisfaction of all applicable requirements of the TSX-V.

Multi Mining Utama (MMU) a private Indonesian mining company. All of the individual vendors are resident in Indonesia. The Minahasa Group holds an unencumbered 100% interest in the Minahasa Gold Project.
Information Concerning the Minahasa Gold Project
The Minahasa Gold Project consists of seven exploration permits covering 13,641 hectares, located in the Minahasa Regency of northern Sulawesi island, Indonesia, approximately 65 km south south-west of the regional city of Manado and 2,400 km northeast of Jakarta. The general area is accessible by road with the permit areas variously accessible by 4 wheel drive, and walking tracts. Most of the permits were previously held by a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation.
The geology of the Minahasa Gold project area consists of Miocene volcanic and marine sediments and Pliocene to recent volcanic. The project area displays vein, vein stockwork and contact-replacement style of low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver-arsenic mineralisation, consistent with development distal to a porphyry source.
Mineralised quartz veins hosted in argillised volcanic rock and silicified limestone were first discovered in the area in 1987 by Newmont during a first pass reconnaissance program.
The Minahasa Group has undertaken preliminary reconnaissance of the northern part of their holdings. This has involved mapping and geochemical sampling.
Gold has been mined in the broader region and artisan mining still occurs within the exploration area.
A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report has been completed on the Minahasa Gold project, which recommends additional exploration work and a 2nd phase drill program be completed. The report will be filed on the SEDAR system in due course.
Selected Minahasa Group Financial Information
As of September 30, 2012, the Minahasa Group collectively had approximately US$ 770 (approx. CDN$754) in cash and commitments of approximately US $281,000 (approx CDN$278,000) (unaudited).

Water project
Plymouth State University project will help provide insight into NH water qualityBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
July 14. 2013 9:20PM
PLYMOUTH — On Tuesday, about 50 volunteers will be in various spots around the state taking a "snapshot" of the water quality in New Hampshire's rivers and streams.
They won't be using cameras, they'll be taking water samples as part of a new Plymouth State University-led project aimed at improving the understanding of the state's water resources and providing data to be used by resource managers, state agencies, researchers, and educators.
Each volunteer will collect water samples that will be sent to PSU and University of New Hampshire laboratories for detailed chemical analysis.
PSU is believed to be the first to organize such an effort in the state, according to Bruce Lyndes, PSU's media relations manager.
"Each sampling day involves volunteers carefully collecting filtered water samples from their site," said Errin Volitis, a research technician with PSU's Center for the Environment, who is helping to coordinate the effort.
"The samples are then frozen for storage and sent to a laboratory for analysis. PSU has provided each volunteer with sampling supplies and instructions, but the volunteers have made the project possible."Mark Green, an assistant professor of hydrology at PSU who developed the project concept, said the snapshots will give researchers a better idea of how the state's water resources respond to different land uses.
"The data from this project will be extremely valuable in creating new understanding about our water conditions in New Hampshire," Green said.
The sampling is part of a larger project funded by the National Science Foundation through a cooperative agreement with the New Hampshire Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
Since 2012, state-of-the-art sensors have been recording temperature, electrical conductivity, and river height continuously at each of the water sampling sites. The network has been designed to include all watershed sizes, shapes and land uses, which are geographically dispersed across New Hampshire.
The network is coordinated by a group of researchers, staff and students at PSU and implemented by a broad group of partners, including educators, researchers, government agencies, non-profit organizations and citizen scientists.
Data from the sampling project will be analyzed this fall and results will be then be shared.
"We can't thank (the volunteers) enough," said Volitis.

Students take the lead on efforts to reduce energy use in residence halls.
Earlham is taking a number of steps to make its campus more environmentally sustainable. The College is seeking LEED certification for its building projects — the new and renovated facilities for the sciences, the new visual and performing arts center and the renovation of Tyler Hall. There are many endeavors to reduce waste and energy use on campus. New majors in environmental science and environmental studies give an academic home for students who are acutely interested in sustainability issues. This spring, a group of students and faculty will be putting the finishing touches on a Comprehensive Sustainability Plan that will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval in June.
Across campus there are many initiatives underway that relate to environmental sustainability. In the following pages, we will highlight a few.
Perhaps the most basic and grounded of Earlham's sustainability projects is Miller Farm, a working farm where 10 students live and keep the farm working and producing all year round. When winter air starts rushing up Abington Pike, Miller Farm residents gather in the living room to cuddle around the wood-burning stove. Flickering flames radiate heat upwards, permeating layers of wool and fleece to dry socks dangling above the stove. Relics from years past hang from the walls, books lie open on the floor, and the farmers laugh together in the big white house.
Miller Farmers this year feel grounded by life on the farm.
"It's an important counterbalance to the growing internationalism at Earlham because it's a strong connection to the local that ties this land to the greater Earlham and Richmond communities," explains Colin Andrews '14. With plans for a new orchard and the community garden, the impacts of the farm intersect with student life on campus.
Everyone can dig a hole, plant seeds, and pull weeds, and the accessibility of gardens make them a gathering place for students who visit Miller Farm for Farm Day on Saturdays.
"For a lot of people, that ability to get away from Earlham to come to this Miller Farm space, into these gardens, is something that can center them and reinvigorate them in terms of their academics," says Lyndsey Tu '14. "And to have that be our home is really special; it's a space where people come to feel happy."
Every Earlham student who has taken a science class in the past two years has seen the simple screen hanging in the lobby of Dennis Hall. It is small, another stimulus amongst the colorful posters, a scale model of Stonehenge, and fun-house mirror that greet each person. This interactive energy dashboard displays real-time data on the energy uses of the campus's metered buildings.
These display systems inform students about their energy consumption — demonstrating trends and patterns throughout days and months — in hopes that the increased awareness will encourage conservation.
Through an effort by the computer science department's Hardware Interface Project and Green Science Group, students have worked closely with faculty and staff to develop the metering and display systems for the project. The computer science teams have been working with electricians and maintenance staff to build the infrastructure to collect data, as well as collaborating with mathematics faculty to develop the software models for displaying the information on dashboards.
"We're not serious about changing something until we're willing to measure it," remarks Ian Smith, director of facilities. Earlham's ability to differentiate the energy uses of individual buildings opens up many opportunities for conservation education and sustainability.
If you had walked into Mills Hall last spring, you could have seen students swirling through the hallways in brightly colored capes, wielding pretzel light sabers and making such commitments to save energy as taking shorter showers and line-drying clothes. This was the kickoff event for the Energy Wars, part of the Campus Conservation Nationals that Earlham was able to join thanks to the energy dashboard and metering initiatives. Coordinated by the Center for Environmental Action and Environmental Studies program, the Star Wars-themed competition (hence the capes) encouraged students in campus residence halls to battle to achieve the greatest energy conservation over a three-week period.
Using data from the dashboard and computer science meters, banners were arranged Hogwarts-style above the fireplace in the dining hall to announce the conservation leader each day. Dorm captains donned capes to encourage participation around campus.
Barrett Hall took top honors with an astounding 21.2% reduction in energy consumption. All participants won a meal at a local restaurant.
Fresh from Earlham's August Wilderness backpacking trip, Bri Cody '16 was anxious to move into her dorm room on the third floor of Bundy Hall, the home for the first crew of Environmental Scholars at Earlham.
As part of an initiative to create innovative new first-year programming, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Director of the Center for Environmental Action Jay Roberts worked to develop this program as a pedagogical incubator/academic and experiential learning opportunity for incoming students interested in environmental studies and science. As part of the Environmental Semester, Cody takes a trio of classes, Environment and Society, Ecological Biology, and an Environmentally themed Seminar. "There have been so many interweaving connections between all of them," Cody says. The students often sit together to complete the readings and pause to discuss along the way. "Since all of our classes are connected, we don't have to switch gears," notes Bailey Howard '16.
"I have learned so much by being automatically immersed in sustainability on campus and have been challenged and encouraged every step of the way," says Cody. "It's really helped my transition to college."
Though her dream afternoon involves kayaking on a frothy river lined with a fringe of dense trees and wild animals, Helen Mountjoy-Venning '14 will settle with quiet research on her bed, seated atop a bright woven blanket in her room filled with pictures of adventures. "Look at this beautiful geothermal plant in Iceland," she says, showing me a picture of steam billowing up from a snowy landscape. "We should have that at Earlham."
Mountjoy-Venning is part of a Ford-Knight research team of eight students, led by professor of environmental studies Jay Roberts, who are working to create Earlham's first Climate Action Plan. Earlham's Ford-Knight program funds student-faculty research projects. The program was established with grants from the Ford Foundation in 1985 and the Knight Foundation in 1989. The Climate Action Plan will outline specific strategies for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by the college.
Roberts always looks for ways to create student and faculty learning experiences, and he took this opportunity to engage students in the "messy practicalities of problem-solving." Each student chose his or her own research focus that relates back to the overall goal of the Climate Action Plan. These directions range from creating an eco-house to greening initiatives in the Athletics department, providing critical research for the drafting of the plan. "It's more self-directed," says Mountjoy-Venning. "That's challenging."
In October, the group traveled to Los Angeles to attend the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) conference. Here, the Earlham group engaged with students and faculty from peer institutions and organizations dedicated to reducing energy on college campuses. They were able to gain insights on concrete solutions for energy reduction, from change management strategies to financial modeling.
"I love going to conferences with students because I think it's one of those opportunities where students can go out and experience a broader world," Roberts says. "And then come back together and query each other about what you found, bringing it back to Earlham."
For centuries, Japan, a densely populated nation that nonetheless values simplicity and sustainability, has fostered these values with beautiful and contemplative gardens.
Next semester, 12 students will explore differing Japanese ideas in this area with Meghen Jones '93, teaching fellow in Japanese studies. Together, they will renovate the Huffman Japanese Garden in Runyan Center and will study the history, theory, and design of gardens in Japan. "We'll be looking at all sorts of Japanese garden designs, from the earliest of Shinto sacred space designations to Zen gardens to Daimyo or feudal lord gardens, leisure spaces, and contemporary designs that accommodate traditional values with an urban Japan," Jones explains. Initial discussions with Nancy Jackson, landscape designer, and Chuck Yates, professor of history, whose father helped build the original garden in the early 1970s, have provided valuable background information about the garden, but much of the design and renovation will be determined and executed by the student group in the spring.
Jones explains that it is a cliché in discussions of Japanese culture that the country is uniquely situated such that the Japanese people have an intuitive capacity to understand nature because of natural disasters, such as volcanos, earthquakes and tsunami. This collective exposure and understanding of the natural world informs their relationship to the earth and the gardens they create.
Jones received a SEED grant from the Center for Environmental Action to help cover the costs of renovation; she hopes that this project will bring attention to the Huffman garden within the Earlham community.

Naked man playing violin at courthouse jailed
May 24, 2014
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) — A naked man playing violin in front of a downtown Portland courthouse Saturday refused to walk to a squad car and had to be carried by police.
Police say they aren't sure of the man's identity. He told them his name is Matthew T. Mglej and that he is 25 years old.
The brand of the violin was unknown on Saturday morning.
The man was jailed under the Portland city code forbidding indecent exposure.
Police say they warned the man numerous times about his "lack of attire," but he refused to dress himself or leave public view.
City police refrain from enforcing the code during Portland's World Naked Bike Ride as long as participants keep to the designated route. The event draws about 8,000 riders each June.

Can't you use the volume control in the options menu?`Or you also need the global volume?
sure we CAN, but we had such an easy shortcut, why take it away? also, fyi, checking "mute all" doesn't actually mute anything, at least not for me.
I've got a problem on my Nokia 5230. The edges of the touchscreen don't react to taps and I can't move the cursor to the edge of the screen (to invoke inventory in Beneath a Steel Sky, for example) without using CUR mode. Is there any way to move the game screen or make some borders around it?
Well you can use the mou mode, intead of cursor mode, but I guess you would like to be able to tap at the edge and that is not possible right now.
how can i map F8 and F10 keys in Scumm?
That depends on your phone.
But they are accesible by enabling FN mode.
Green+'1'+Green will toggle between numeric or FN keys on the numpad (0-9 for F1-F10).
On touch devices extend the vkb, and tap FNC directly for enabling F1-F10 keys.
I have Nokia 6120.
ok i haven't quite figured out the finer details of the mousebutton modes, i'm on a s60v5. i managed to play my way through loom, but for other games i should probably know when i'm left-clicking or right-clicking
so i understand the
*_ for left click,
_* for right click and
__ for just moving the cursor, with seperate LFT & RGT on the popup controls
but i don't know exactly what the <> does, can you explain?
also, long ago, this guy requested a way to map the phone's physical volume keys as left/right mousebuttons, i think that would be very convenient if it's doable.
any other tips for getting the controls set up in the most convenient way?
The <> is a toggeling left right mode. I.e first click is left, next is right, next is left etc.
Should be good for some games where for example right opens a menu and left selects in it.
oh ok, thanks.
i've changed the scummvm.ini file in my N97 after installing Scummvm and now the application won't start... I'm just trying to map keys, but now even if I undo the modifications in the file, Scummvm doesn't work anymore...
is there any wrong or right way to modify the config files?
edit: I just wanna play Lands of Lore, and just need the right mouse click to play properly.....scummvm will work only if I reinstall...and then the scummvm.ini will be default...
If you can edit scummvm.ini, I am assuming you can copy it to somewhere outside the device. If so, then after scummvm fails to start, copy the scummvm.ini outside the device and compare it with the "default" one using some sort of diff tool (e.g. kdiff3)
This will hopefully shed some light on what is going on.
thanks tsoliman, but i made a backup of the file before messing it, I copied and renamed it to scummvm.ini.old, so I'm sure it's not messed.
Then when I tested and it didn't work i just deleted the modified file and renamed the original to scummvm.ini again. But ScummVM still wont work....so im guessing the way I moved or saved the files may have messed it, maybe the codification (ANSI, UTF-, maybe the way win7 is communicating with my N97...i dunno.
Its strange, because in version 1.3 i did it and it worked fine, but there were no Lands of Lore support.
PS.: I'm using this new build made in 18/oct/2011

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
'Fight the Power' – Public Enemy (1989)
Subtlety and nuance are great qualities. Public Enemy's Chuck D had them in spades: he was a man so professor-like, he needed playful sprite Flavor Flav just to remind people to occasionally have fun. Subtlety and nuance don't change the world, however. 'Fight The Power' was incendiary because it was brutally explicit and unequivocal.
Nobody else was willing to tell it how it was. As Chuck himself said, '"Don't worry be happy" was a number one jam, damn if I say it, you can slap me right here.' Black America as he saw it was still being denied – a fact soon borne out by the LA riots of '91. What makes this our number one, though, is that it transcended its locality and became a call to action around the world: in Ireland, in Serbia, along the fault lines of the crumbling Soviet bloc and beyond.
Chosen by Matthew Collin, journalist and author of 'This is Serbia Calling' and 'Altered State'
Matthew says: 'First heard as the incendiary intro to Spike Lee's film "Do the Right Thing", "Fight the Power" encapsulated the resurgent Black Power spirit in rap music at the time – but it was far from the USA where the song had political impact.
During an armed crackdown by Slobodan Milošević's regime in the Serbian capital of Belgrade in 1991, rebel radio station B92 was banned from broadcasting news. The station responded by playing tracks like "Fight the Power" over and over again, subverting the ban by expressing in music what they weren't allowed to say in words.'

Yes this is my third post in two weeks- I must be going for some record! Thank you all for your support so far!
I may have corrected my OALD and oversupply with lay back nursing and block nursing and do not want to get back in that situation again! I feel like my oversupply was exacerbated by switching sides frequently. Therefore I am trying to "finish the first breast first"- but I have a snacker baby. He eats for 10 minutes, then sleeps, then wants to eat 30 min later, then onto another activity, then snack again. Never on the breast a long time. He does empty me after a few feedings but I'm afraid of diminishing my supply too much from offering the same breast too much for snacks. I also really want I make sure he gets the hind milk (a problem we were also having when I was way oversupplied).
So can someone tell me how to finish the first breast first and which one to offer in between full meals?
Thanks again!!!!

About twice as many kids are drinking sugar-free soft drinks as they were ten years ago, a new study says. While it's good news that kids are consuming less sugar, it's unknown what long-term effect artificial sweeteners have on kids.
Analyzing data from a 2008 health survey of 42,000 Americans, the study found that 12.5 percent of kids had had a diet drink in the last 24 hours, up from 6 percent a decade earlier. This is in keeping with an overall upward trend among adults as more and more diet beverages hit the market.
Plus: Junk Food Laws May Be Curbing Obesity
Although no one can predict the effects of artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin and sucralose in humans, laboratory studies in rats have shown weight gain over time.
Do your kids drink diet drinks? Leave a comment.
