Along the coast, storm surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane. In the past, large death tolls have resulted from the rise of the ocean associated with many of the major hurricanes that have made landfall. Hurricane Katrina (2005) is a prime example of the damage and devastation that can be caused by surge. At least 1,500 persons lost their lives during Katrina and many of those deaths occurred directly, or indirectly, as a result of storm surge.
Storm Surge vs. Storm Tide
Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides. Storm surge should not be confused with storm tide, which is defined as the water level rise due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide. This rise in water level can cause extreme flooding in coastal areas particularly when storm surge coincides with normal high tide, resulting in storm tides reaching up to 20 feet or more in some cases.
Factors Impacting Surge
Storm surge is produced by water being pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds moving cyclonically around the storm. The impact on surge of the low pressure associated with intense storms is minimal in comparison to the water being forced toward the shore by the wind.
The maximum potential storm surge for a particular location depends on a number of different factors. Storm surge is a very complex phenomenon because it is sensitive to the slightest changes in storm intensity, forward speed, size (radius of maximum winds-RMW), angle of approach to the coast, central pressure (minimal contribution in comparison to the wind), and the shape and characteristics of coastal features such as bays and estuaries.
Adding to the destructive power of surge, battering waves may increase damage to buildings directly along the coast. Water weighs approximately 1,700 pounds per cubic yard; extended pounding by frequent waves can demolish any structure not specifically designed to withstand such forces. The two elements work together to increase the impact on land because the surge makes it possible for waves to extend inland.
In confined harbors, the combination of storm tides, waves, and currents can also severely damage marinas and boats. In estuaries and bayous, salt water intrusion endangers the public health, kills vegetation, and can send animals, such as snakes and alligators, fleeing from flooded areas.
Surge Vulnerability Facts
* From 1990-2008, population density increased by 32 percent in Gulf coastal counties, 17 percent in Atlantic coastal counties, and 16 percent in Hawaii (U.S. Census Bureau 2010).
* Much of the United States' densely populated Atlantic and Gulf Coast coastlines lie less than 10 feet above mean sea level
* More than half of the Nation's economic productivity is located within coastal zones.
* Seventy-two percent of ports, 27 percent of major roads, and 9 percent of rail lines within the Gulf Coast region are at or below 4-foot elevation.
* A storm surge of 23 feet has the ability to inundate 67 percent of interstates, 57 percent of arterials, almost half of rail miles, 29 airports, and virtually all ports in the Gulf Coast area.

No, no, no.
A wave of negativism rolls across the land. Many Americans are against instead of for. They would rather stop than start, subtract than add, demolish than build.
Legendary basketball coach Bob Knight has published a book titled The Power of Negative Thinking: An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive Results. Campus entrepreneur and motivational speaker Kristen Hadeed teaches people how to "Say No Without Being a Jerk." One bumper sticker spotted recently in Washington: If It's Bad For America, I Hope It Fails.
In American politics, zealots are taking opposition PACs — designed to tear each other's candidates apart — to new levels. The Republican-backed America Rising encourages opposition research against Democrats, CNN reports. The Democrats have countered with their own attack PAC, American Bridge. Karl Rove has created the Conservative Victory Project to try to stymie the Tea Party at every turn. And perhaps for the first time ever there has been a PAC established, Stop Hillary PAC, to thwart a presidential candidate who hasn't even formally announced.
Large numbers of Americans are anti: social, religion, anxiety and a lot more. Our stories are filled with antiheroes. We fight wars against drugs and poverty and illiteracy. Online gurus suggest that websites use negative keywords to influence their traffic. Ray Dalio at Freakonomics writes: "It is negative feedback that drives improvement" in many societal pursuits. And in the world of professional psychology, the naysayers are exploring the value of naysaying.
The Negateers
Barbara S. Held, a professor of psychology at Bowdoin College, says, "There has definitely been a backlash against both positive psychology and the American culture of positivity in recent years."
Barbara has not only felt this negative energy in her field but contributed to it. She and a dozen or so like-minded colleagues and writers have formed a social observation group called "The Negateers" who keep tabs on the "positivity-negativity" wars. The nixname comes from the same spirit as Musketeers.
"We consider ourselves an organized backlash against both the positive psychology movement and the American culture of positivity," Barbara says. The two movements feed on each other, she says, which "fuels the American culture of positivity by giving it the mantle of science" or, in some cases, pseudoscience.
Pro and Converse
The Negateers, Barbara says, are representative of a growing battle against the "tyranny of the positive attitude in America."
The power of positive thinking, made popular by Norman Vincent Peale in his 1952 book of that name, may not be as powerful as it has been cracked up to be.
When it comes to thoughts, feelings, behaviors, Barbara says, a positive-negative dichotomy is false and simplistic. "What is constructive versus destructive cannot be divorced from context, goals, and individual differences."
For example, she says, there are times when it may be constructive and, therefore, positive or good to be pessimistic in some contexts — such as looking for signs of a terrorist attack before Sept. 11.
Conversely, she adds, it could be destructive and, therefore, negative or bad to be optimistic in some contexts — such as not looking for signs of a terrorist attack before Sept. 11.

I'm back home in Mexico since a couple of days now and thought I'd reply to my own post.
This is where I went in 20 days in chronological order (I picked up my rental car in El Paso, Texas), not listing cities (I went backcountry in three NPs, camping overnight):
New Mexico:
- Mount Taylor
- Red Rock SP
- Petrified Forest NP (backcountry)
- Humphrey's Peak
- Grand Canyon NP (backcountry)
- Antelope Canyon
- Glen Canyon NRA
- Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP
- Zion NP (backcountry)
- Bryce Canyon NP
- Goblin Valley SP
- Capital Reef NP
- Arches NP
- Mesa Verde NP
New Mexico:
- Wheeler Peak
- Sandia Crest Peak
(on my last day I drove to Capitan (Smokey the Bear town), Lincoln State Monument (Billy the Kid town) and Roswell (UFO town).
Looking back, I believe I made a good selection out of the broad offer. I hiked several trails in all parks except for Glen Canyon NRA and Capitol Reef. It was a great experience overall!
I hope to be back in the US soon, probably California...

Iran has installed many more uranium enrichment machines in an underground bunker, diplomatic sources said on Thursday, potentially paving the way for a significant expansion of work the West fears is ultimately aimed at making nuclear bombs.
Iran denies allegations it is seeking a nuclear weapons capability. However, its refusal to curb its nuclear enrichment program has prompted tough Western sanctions and has heightened speculation that Israel may attack its atomic sites.
In a possible sign of further Iranian defiance in the face of such pressure, several sources said Iran had put in place additional enrichment centrifuges in its Fordow facility, buried deep inside a mountain to protect it against enemy strikes.
One source suggested hundreds of machines had been installed.
In another development likely to worry the West, they said satellite imagery indicated Iran had covered a building at a military site that UN inspectors want to visit with a brightly colored, tent-like structure.
Western diplomats have said they believe Iran is cleansing the Parchin site to remove any evidence of illicit nuclear activity at a place where the UN nuclear watchdog suspects it has conducted tests that had a military dimension.
Covering the building in question — which is believed to house a steel chamber for explosives experiments — may allow Iran to carry out sanitization or other work there which would not be seen via satellite pictures.
One Western envoy said that the suspected clean-up at Parchin was "intensifying" and that this made it doubtful that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would uncover any hard evidence there, even if they were allowed to go.
"Given the extent of the clean-up, it is indeed unlikely the agency, if it ever gets access, would find anything at Parchin," the diplomat said.
There was no immediate comment from Iran's mission to the Vienna-based UN atomic agency. It has previously dismissed the allegations about Parchin, which it says is a conventional military facility, as "ridiculous."
The IAEA would press Iran again in talks yesterday for access to Parchin as part of its long-stalled probe into suspected nuclear weapons research in the Islamic state, even though it concedes that the alleged sanitization would hamper its probe.
The meeting, the first since previous discussions ended in failure in June, takes place after an upsurge in rhetoric from Israeli politicians this month suggesting Israel might attack Iran ahead of the US presidential election in November.
The talks are separate from Tehran's negotiations with world powers that have made little headway since they resumed after a 15-month hiatus, but the focus on suspicions about Iran's nuclear ambitions mean they are closely linked.
Lack of movement in both sets of talks could strengthen Israel's belief that tougher Western sanctions are failing to sway Tehran, its archenemy, which has threatened wide-ranging reprisals if attacked.
Iran is showing no sign of backing down over what it says is its inalienable right to civilian nuclear energy and has pushed ahead with expansion of Fordow since it was launched last year.
"Our basic understanding is that they were continuing to install," a Vienna-based diplomat said, adding the new centrifuges at the site were not yet operating.

Red Cross Tornado Training
The American Red Cross is seeking to increase its pool of disaster assessment volunteers in advance of tornado season by offering a pool of upcoming training courses. One of the first tasks undertaken by Red Cross volunteers is a disaster assessment. This duty is critical to the organization because it helps them determine how many families are affected, how many meals need to be prepared and how many volunteers will be needed to respond, according to a news release from the Red Cross.
According to the Victoria Advocate, the Red Cross is urging new volunteers to get trained in February so that they can participate in the agency's first tornado disaster drill that will take place across the states of Texas and Oklahoma on March 2, according to the news release. "We're tornado prone in both Texas and Oklahoma, so we have to prepare ahead of these storms," said Linda May, the emergency services director of the American Red Cross Crossroads. "The time to take your training is when the sky is blue, so we're hopeful that many people will take the opportunity to join us."
To become a Red Cross volunteer, go to the agency's website.redcross.org/tx/victoria "You'll get all of the instructions on how to register, and you'll receive your next steps," May said.
For more information, call 361-573-2671 or 361-894-1232.

Last week, local news out of Wisconsin began reporting about the outrage of residents in Sauk County over the legal shooting of white deer.
Although not against the law to shoot the animals, the Baraboo News Republic (via the Wisconsin State Journal) called it a violation of the area's "informal code." And although the hunters were out-of-towners, they were reportedly seasonal regulars who should have known better:
"They've been hunting here for years and coming into our bar. They know how we feel," said Amy Sprecher, owner of Sprecher's Bar in Leland, about the Fond du Lac hunters who left town Saturday after one of them shot a white deer outside Leland.
Technically, in most parts of the state it would have been illegal to shoot the animals with a genetic defect that results in a primarily white coat, but the News Republic noted this does not apply in chronic wasting disease management zones, which included Leland. Even if it was shot in a restricted zone, the DNR came out to say it's not a true albino either given a brown spot in its hair and lack of pink facial features.
Still, DNR Law Enforcement Bureau Assistant Chief Karl Brooks told the News Republic that the killing of white deer is a "social issue" in the area.
Taking this statement a step further, Leland resident Brandon Yanke told Channel 3000 he considers it a "moral issue."
Watch the report:
Sprecher told the News Republic if the hunters come into her bar in the future, she plans to give them "a piece of my mind."
This isn't the first white deer story to emerge during the 2012 hunting season. TheBlaze reported recently about another with a deformed antler as well that was spotted in Iowa.

Couple continues transplant after theft
It's been almost three months since a Newton couple was robbed of money for a double-lung transplant.
Patty and Ken Arnold are in the early stages of the transplant process at Duke University Medical Center in Durham and are continuing with Ken's procedure — with or without the money.
The Arnolds never recovered the $1,100 in cash stolen from them Nov. 6 when a supposed stranded driver asked Patty for a ride. The stranger was in the car momentarily before she jumped out of the back seat, taking Patty's wallet and the money donated to the Arnolds from American Legion Post 48.
No arrests were made in the incident. After filing the original incident report, Hickory Police Department never returned the couple's calls for updates.
But the Arnolds' misfortune didn't go unnoticed from friends and family.
"I'd like to thank everybody who's been helping us," Patty said. "It's been great that people have seen the need, especially when there's already so much need out there."
One of the Arnolds' children created a Facebook page to help raise money for Ken's transplant process, which can take up to four months before he receives lungs. Ken's physician at the Veterans Affairs hospital, created a fund for Ken at the BB&T in Newton for anyone who wants to donate to Ken's treatment.
The Arnolds were surprised to receive a check from a South Carolina doctor who wanted to help with their needs.
"I trust you will be able to receive the lung transplant," the doctor wrote, adding that he, like Ken, is in the pre-transplant phase.
"It was just so wonderful," Patty said of the doctor they never knew before his donation. "Apparently, he must have heard about it or saw it on Facebook."
On Feb, 12, the Arnolds will have spent one month in Durham, taking classes and preparing for the long process that is a double-lung transplant.
"It's pretty daunting when you think about it," Patty said. "They're going to cut you open and put new lungs in your body."
Ken must undergo 23 sessions of pre-transplant classes and preparation, which include daily exercises. He said the first few days left him sore, but he feels himself grow stronger for the transplant every day.
Patty also must take classes for post-transplant caregivers. She will learn how to care for Ken after his transplant and the special instructions for his care once he receives a new pair of lungs.
"It's a little daunting, but the other wives or caretakers in the class, they have to learn the same things," she said.
The transplant takes the couple away from their family in Catawba County, but for the Arnolds, time away from the family is worth it to ensure Ken's good health.
After the pre-transplant sessions, Ken must receive word that not one, but two lungs are available and match the specifications he needs.
"You not only have to wait for someone to expire, which makes you sad to think about it, but you have to find the right match, too," Patty said.
But Ken isn't worried.
"I'm at the best place to get (a transplant)," he said. "I've got faith in the Lord, and I've got the best doctors."
Donations can be made at BB&T to Kenneth Arnold, Double Lung Transplant, BB&T, 2004 N. Main Ave. in Newton, N.C. 28658.

text: UMW News BureauWith 10:52 remaining in the University of Montana Western Bulldog men's basketball game Saturday night against the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears, Brandon Brown stole the ball, raced to the basket and scored while being fouled. By Lowell Peterson [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="324" caption="Brandon Brown soars to another basket against Carroll College on Friday, Jan. 27, 2012."][/caption] With 10:52 remaining in the University of Montana Western Bulldog men's basketball game Saturday night against the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears, Brandon Brown stole the ball, raced to the basket and scored while being fouled. The basket, which started a rally against Rocky in a key Frontier Conference matchup, gave Brown 1,500 points scored in his Bulldog career. Brown would go on to score six more points as Montana Western (6-1, 18-5) rallied to defeat the Battlin' Bears 74-66 and remain tied for first place in the conference. Brown led the Bulldogs with 24 points and added to the 29 he scored the night before in a victory over Carroll College, giving him 1,506 total points at Montana Western. "It has been an honor and a pleasure to coach Brandon these past three years," head coach Steve Keller said. "Brandon is arguably the best player to ever put on a Montana Western uniform." In Brown's tenure at Montana Western to date, the team has posted a 65-25 overall record and 25-10 in the Frontier Conference. The Bulldogs have played in the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City, Mo. the last two years, going 1-1 in Brown's sophomore year while reaching the sweet sixteen and losing to No. 1 ranked Robert Morris by one point, 76-77, in the opening round last year. Brown scored 32 points against Robert Morris, tying him for the best individual scoring performance in the tournament. In three games at the national tournament Brown has scored 18, 21 and 32 points for an average of 23.7 points per game. Last season Brown was honored as the Frontier Conference player of the year and was selected as a first team NAIA All-American. He averaged 20.2 points and 4.8 assists per game last year to lead the conference in both categories. He was 10th in scoring in the NAIA and 24th in assists. This season Brown is averaging 22.7 points per game (first in the conference and seventh in the NAIA), 4.0 assists (second in the conference) and 2.5 steals (first in the conference and 21st in the NAIA). The Bulldogs are currently ranked 20th in the latest NAIA national poll. For his Bulldog career to date Brown has posted the following numbers: 1,506 points (16.9 avg.), 296 rebounds (3.3 avg.), 366 assists (4.1 avg.), 166 steals (1.9 avg.), a .494 (536-1086) field goal percentage, a .334 (127-380) three point percentage and a .711 (307-432) free throw percentage. "Brandon deserves all the credit as his leadership and work ethic is second to none," Keller added. "Not only has he led us in scoring, but also in assists and steals. Brandon makes everyone around him a better basketball player." Brown has been a leader on and off the court for the Bulldogs for the last three years. In addition to being a great teammate and excelling on the basketball court, Brown has excelled in the classroom. Majoring in business administration, Brown is carrying a cumulative 3.48 grade point average into his final semester at Montana Western. He is also a positive influence and a role model who is looked up to and respected by both youth and adults in the Dillon community. "As good as Brandon is as a basketball player, he is even a better person and student," Keller said. "I am proud to say I was Brandon's coach for these three great years of Bulldog basketball."

I recently tried to upgrade to 12.04 using a Ubuntu User disk. During the upgrade I lost broadband connection (another issue entirely) the PC froze and I had to reboot. When I rebooted I found that I couldn't access 11.10 from the Grub Menu. It's there, but when I click on it the next screen says 11.10 with the purple screen and just freezes. Nothing.
When I put in the disk again and try to install I have three options. Two come with warnings stating that I'll lose all files and docs etc with 12.04 LTS and XP. I can boot XP but there is no sign of 12.04 which was aborted due to the broadband issue? The other is another partitioning menu. It goes like this:
/dev/sda1 ntfs ; this is XP
/dev/sda5 ext3 this is Linux
/dev/sda6 swap ?
/dev/sda7 swap?
Device for boot loader installation;
/dev/sda 360 GB ATA
sda1 XP
sda5 12.04 LTS
When I try to click install it says 'no root file system is defined please select from partitioning menu'.
I cant make head nor tail of this, any ideas?
The Grub Menu is:
Ubuntu with Linux 3.0.0 generic
" " " recovery mode
Previous Linux versions
Memory test
Windows XP
The only one I've had success with is XP. Nothing happens when I try the others.
Is there anything I can do to try and recover 11.10? Or will I just have to install 12.04 afresh and lose everything?
I can't believe this has happened from an aborted installation.
Normally when I boot up and it goes to the Grub menu I have 10 secs to choose which OS I want to use but now it just stays on the Grub.
A long winded and confusing post, I know!
Any suggestions would be appreciated. What I was going to do was upgrade to the LTS and wipe Windows, have a clean slate so to speak. Damn.

Elizabeth Andresen '14, Carly Strelez '14, Krupa Patel '15, and Hannah Collins '16 spent summer 2013 interning with Dr. Carolyn Salafia and colleagues.
Through the Center for Career and Development (CCD), four students -- Elizabeth Andresen '14, Carly Strelez '14, Krupa Patel '15, and Hannah Collins '16 -- interned with Dr. Carolyn Salafia P'16, a licensed physician and surgeon in New York who is also a parent of a sophomore at Gettysburg College.
Salafia is researching the existence of links between autism and placentas by examining early biomarkers of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the placenta. The hope is that this research could lead to the earlier diagnosis and treatment of autism.
Most days, the interns worked with computers and scoured through patient charts to retrieve maternal and placental information. They attended presentations involving research in the field, and met with Salafia on a weekly basis to discuss their progress.

Epigenetics a factor in Tasmanian devil disease
7 November 2012
Genes in the tumours of Devil Facial Tumour Disease gradually 'switch off' over time, say researchers at the University of Sydney.
The finding, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B journal today, has important implications for the disease and could also help us to understand how human cancer evolves.
"This is the first time that the role of epigenetics has been shown to play a role in this devastating disease which has already killed 85 percent of the Tasmanian devil population," said lead author Associate Professor Kathy Belov, from the Faculty of Veterinary Science.
Epigenetics refers to changes in genetic tags - modifications to the DNA which are able to be inherited but are not caused by changing the DNA sequence. Changes in these tags can affect the way different genes are switched on or off and can be caused by external factors such as stress, diet and nutrition.
"Epigenetic changes can result in differences in how a gene is expressed without altering the DNA sequence. We found that in devil tumours these tags have been removed over time. There were more tags five years ago than there are now. This suggests that more genes have been switched off in today's tumours than those in the past," Dr Belov said.
Tumours in different devils have the same DNA sequence but this study shows that tumours in different animals differ at the epigenetic level.
This matters because epigenetic changes can affect the behaviour of the tumour. For instance, it could slow down the growth of tumours or help them hide from the animal's immune system. It could also affect the rate at which tumours spread through the devil's body.
"The next step in our research is to determine if the tumours are evolving to become more aggressive or less aggressive, to help us to manage the species in the wild," Dr Belov said.
The research also provides a unique model for studying the evolution of cancer.
Normally a cancer occurs in a single individual and dies with that individual, but in the case of Devil Facial Tumour Disease the cancer is passed from animal to animal and during this process it is exposed to different environments. This means selection can act on different tumour variants driving the evolution of the cancer.
"By understanding how cancer evolves in DFTD we will be in a better position to tackle human cancers that evolve following unsuccessful chemotherapy," Dr Belov said.
Reversing epigenetic changes has already been used for the treatment of some human cancers, so these findings provide new opportunities to develop therapies.
Dr Beata Ujvari, from the University's Faculty of Veterinary Science and colleagues from the Department of Primary Industries and The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute are collaborators on this study.

Or something along those lines. We're apparently on track to be "energy independent" here in a few years here. Environmental concerns aside (can we ever do that even if we pretend for a minute?) it sounds good on paper at least. Count me as one of those who are genuinely surprised at our new-found ability to get large quantities gas out of rocks buried deep underground.
You mean you want to hear mine first? Okay...
1) I never thought we'd actually reach break-even that fast.
2) Does this mean that the Democrats will quite possibly claim credit for killing Bin Laden, reducing the size of government (hello fiscal cliff, wave everyone), and setting us on the path for energy independence? Because I could see that happening with a little politicking and spin...
3) Drill baby drill?
4) Halloween is bad for my sugar-eating habit.
5) Staple removers: why even use them if you're only going to mangle the paper anyway?

Well done Hubba, we need more people like you that can explain why we hunt instead of starting a fight, and making hunters look bad. My hats off to you!
hubba20 it's nice to see that you took the time to turn this guys head. Great job!
Well done Hubba, we need more people like you that can explain why we hunt instead of starting a fight, and making hunters look bad. My hats off to you!
Shoot STR8
Great job Hubba. Too bad all treehuggers weren't like that guy. If his treehugger friends found out he asked for an elk steak they will never talk to him again. LOL
nice going Hubba!
I think most treehuggers have a great heart, they are just a little misguided. You chose to educate this man with a calm and non-agressive approach and he listened. That is awesome and gives me a little hope for the future of our divided nation. I do believe that if most treehugging vegitarians could be educated they would stop with the protest to hunting. I myself have been successful in getting several longtime vegitarians to secumb to an elk burger. Even the most diehard veggie cannot resist the wonderful aroma of an elk cooking on the grill, even though some wont admit it. You can see their mouths watering as they give a half-hearted "no thanks". Then, looking at a bowel of couscous and tofu say, "maybe just a bite!" And another person finds the primordial spirit.
This is one of the better threads I have read in a while. Good job Hubba. I think we all should take the same approach you did with this guy, but I myself would have probably told the guy where he could bury his head. I might have added to it though, that my anemic children can only eat "ORGANIC" red meat is why I do it. Good job again with the way you handled it.
If you guys really want a laugh at some tree huggers go to that nobearhuntnv.com (or .org) its one of the two. Those tree huggers dont realize that we hunters are the conservationist NOT them.
"Elk dont know how many feet a horse has" - Bear Claw
A well done response hubba20. As hunters we need to be winning over more of the anti hunting community with dignity and respectful responses instead of the easy "f*** off" messages. If tree hugger respectfully sees more of what you showed him from all the others hunters out there that he meets, he might end up joining in on the hunting scene himself one day.
Great job Hubba. The easy thing to do would have been to tell him off, but kudos to you for taking the opportunity to educate and hopefully dispel, with at least one guy, the stereotype of the bloodthirsty redneck hunter.
The worst thing you can do when accused of being a redneck brains-blaster, is to respond like a redneck brains-blaster!
Excellent response, Hubba!
Best of Luck,
That's awesome.

Just as there is no disputing Spain's current status as football's dominant force, nor can there be any doubt over Barcelona's role in La Roja's ascent. Other clubs have, of course, contributed greatly, but it's widely accepted that the world champions have looked to the Camp Nou for the heart of their team – and the ethos of their play.
A similar phenomenon could well be developing in futsal, where six of Spain's 14-man squad play their club football in the claret and blue. Barcelona's futsal division is also rapidly matching the success of its football equivalent, with 2012 having already brought a second successive Spanish title and a first-ever European crown.
Key to the achievements of both club and country is Torras, a player who earlier this year added an adidas golden boot at the UEFA Futsal EURO to his bulging collection of team honours. And while a top scorer prize perhaps offers a misleading representation of his role, which is more akin to Xavi's than David Villa's, it undoubtedly reinforced his continuing importance to the Spanish cause. Fresh honours have since followed at Barça, and the 32-year-old, a world champion with La Roja in 2004, believes the national team can benefit from the confidence and understanding forged in Catalonia.
It's not all about us and Brazil. I see lots of teams who can win this tournament: Russia, Italy, Iran, Argentina, Portugal... all of them for sure.
"It's a very important thing for us," he told FIFA.com. "Having a lot of colleagues who know each other so well, and have been enjoying good moments together, can only help. It's vital that you know your colleagues well, trust them completely and understand what they are going to do on the court. That's the base every team needs, and we are lucky to have that. But I must say that it's not just the Barcelona players. In this squad, we all know each other well because we've been playing together a long time. We all follow the same principles, and I'm grateful to have colleagues I can enjoy playing with so much."
That sense of pleasure was evident throughout Spain's sparkling 8-3 win over Panama, a in which Torras was at his muscular, majestic best. Much is expected of him and his team-mates after their European conquest, and as one of only three survivors from the team that lifted the FIFA Futsal World Cup eight years ago, the veteran Barça star is well placed to assess the chances of a repeat.
"Individually, we're actually a very different team to the ones from 2004 and 2008," he said. "The current players have different styles to the ones who went before, although both have great quality. But the most important thing for us is that our philosophy, principles and unity are the same. It's true that there has been a generational change but winning the EURO proved this to be positive. It has also given us the belief that we can reach the final again here at the World Cup, and hopefully lift the trophy.
"We know how tough it will be though," he added, "and it's not all about us and Brazil. I see lots of teams who can win this tournament: Russia, Italy, Iran, Argentina, Portugal... all of them for sure. We know we're going to need a great tournament to win the World Cup again."

While your husband Is sticky about locking doors, Windows and alarms, you were rude to press her about that while staying at het home. Her house, her rules. If it makes yoir Dh uncomfortable, stay somewhere else.
In the instant situation, decide how long you are willing to let her stay with you. Then when you Skype her: "DF, we wanted to confirm your plans for when you visit. We can host you for X days - when do you plan to arrive?"
Take a look at your OP. You said you pressed her about the doors and windows. You didnt mention her insistence you stay. As myself and someone else said, be prepared for equal hospitality in het side.
DH is also paranoid about safety - the house must be locked and alarmed, even if we're only popping to the shop (5 mins max). DF, the last time were were over, frequently left her house unlocked, windows open. We pointed this out and she said " oh, there's a prickly bush beneath the window, and besides they'd need a ladder", when we questioned this she assured us it was a low crime area

AAACK! Girls getting eyeful in locker room
University 'nondiscrimination' policy lets man change with female swim team
"Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period," says David Hacker, a senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom.
And that's why the public interest law firm is calling on officials at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., to do something to make their campus safe after it was revealed that, because of its controversial "nondiscrimination" policies, the school was allowing a grown man to get naked and change into his swimwear right alongside a girls swim team.
"The idea that the college and the local district attorney will not act to protect young girls is appalling. What Americans are seeing here is the poisoned fruit of so-called 'nondiscrimination' laws and policies. Placing this man's proclivities ahead of protecting little girls is beyond acceptable."
Nevertheless, a school spokesman told WND the school would make sure "transgendered individuals" would continue to have access to the women's locker room, and the school would uphold "civil rights" for all.
"I mean, uh, at this point, too, we have established a, um, privacy screens. These measures should offer everyone more privacy," the school spokesman said.
ADF jumped into action when it discovered the situation by sending the school a letter warning of the possible consequences of failing to act.
Find out how such outrageous and immoral developments are becoming "normal" in America, in David Kupelian's blockbuster book, "How Evil Works."
The letter to Matt Newman, recreation director, and Art Costantino, vice president of student affairs, pointed out that the school's pool and locker rooms are used by swim teams from Capital High School and Olympia High School, as well as children with Evergreen Swim Club and the Aquatics Academy.
"Most of these students are minors, and range from ages 6 to 18," the letter said. "On several occasions recently, the children saw a naked man in the women's locker room sauna who was displaying his male genitalia. The children saw him through the sauna's glass door, which allowed him a plain view of the young girls while they were changing. The children notified their swim coach, who called police."
The letter explained that the man, identified as Evergreen student Colleen Francis, age 45, "to be the man in the women's locker room."
"Sources indicate that Francis believes he is a woman, even though he is biologically a man. According to the police report, despite Francis's obvious violation of Washington's indecent exposure statute, Wash. Rev. Code 91.88.010, the local district attorney declined to pursue charges," the letter said.
"We are aware Evergreen intends to allow Francis to continue to use the women's locker room pursuant to its nondiscrimination policy," the letter said.
However, the legal team warns the college that the situation "endangers the young girls who use Evergreen's locker room and pool."
"If harm befalls one of these students, Evergreen and its employees may be held liable for damages. Evergreen has an 'affirmative duty to use ordinary care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition.'"
The lawyers said that letting a grown man use the women's locker room and expose himself "while young girls are changing demonstrates a clear failure to keep Evergreen's premises in a safe condition."
"Placing someone in a known danger with deliberate indifference to her personal, physical safety violates her Fourteenth Amendment rights under the United State Constitution," the letter said.
ADF officials, who had been alerted to the situation by parents concerned for their children's safety, told the school: "Any reasonable person would view this as dangerous to the young girls involved. The fact that this individual was sitting in plain view of young girls changing into their swimsuits puts you and Evergreen on notice of possible future harm."
The alliance said the school's installation of curtains with instructions that girls change behind them "does not solve the problem."
The police report notes that the person was "sitting with her [sic] legs open with her male genitalia showing."
A swim coach who made the report said that girls 6 to 18 years of age were present.
ADF noted that the state's law is clear: "A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm."

Would appreciate advice on a new printer.
I print a mix of one-offs, colour sometimes useful, and occasional longer monochrome documents. Some for long-term use/storage. Scanner would be useful too. Networked too if it doesn't cost (mixed Linux/Windows clients).
Don't have enough space for two printers.
Ages ago, options were:
- Laser: expensive up front, lousy colour, cheap per-page.Over many years, toner sticks to plastic covers, etc.
- Inkjet: photo-real colour, but not waterproof or colour-fast (except Epson), expensive per-page (especially Epson). Canon, HP were the market leaders, Lexmark cheaper but had dodgy drivers.
Has much changed?

Rudi Garcia's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Saint-Etienne which saw their European ambitions crurshed. Elsewhere, Sochaux are safe, as Troyes are demoted to Ligue 2
Nice wrapped up a fairytale season with a victory that saw them pip 2011 champions Lille and Saint-Etienne to a fourth-placed finish to secure Europa League football next term.
Starting the day in sixth, with their Champions League dream over with a draw to Lyon last weekend, Claude Puel's side still harboured slim hopes of European football, which were dependent on results elsewhere.
Nevertheless, Dario Cvitanich put the visitors in front with his 19th league goal of a marvellous debut season early in the second half, before Eric Bautheac wrapped up victory with a fine finish in the 77th minute.
Lille's draw with Saint-Etienne, coupled with Lyon's win over Rennes was enough to catapult the usual relegation strugglers to fourth, as they ended the 2012-13 season on a magnificent high.
Bordeaux ended another disappointing season on a positive note, as they beat Evian 2-1 ahead of next Friday's Coupe de France final between the two sides.
The hosts started positively, showcasing some early intent, and it wasn't long before they were rewarded with a goal inside five minutes as goalkeeper Johann Durand was penalised for bringing down Cheick Diabate, who dusted himself off to open the scoring from the spot.
Diabate made it 2-0 after the half-hour, coolly finishing past an outstretched Durand and into an empty net before Evian pulled one back themselves, from the spot after Cedric Carrasso tripped Cedric Barbosa, this time Yannick Sagbo with the goal.
With both sides having little to play for, Friday's cup final at the Stade de France offers a last chance bid for European football.
Lille ended the season with a 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne, which saw them slip to sixth place and miss out on European football.
A night which promised so much for the 2011 champions, in the end, produced very little, despite a blistering opening from the hosts.
Dimitri Payet saw an effort cleared off the line by Francois Clerc, with Stephane Ruffier also forced into action, before Lille took the lead through Salomon Kalou, who poked the ball home.
Romain Hamouma equalised, after a fine pass by Faouzi Ghoulam, but even with Joshua Guilavogui - in the France squad to play Uruguay and Brazil - sent off, Lille failed to replicate their initial form, as they end the season in a disappointing sixth.
Marseille ended a positive season with a turgid 0-0 stalemate against Stade de Reims on an otherwise celebratory night at Stade Velodrome.
With OM marking the 20-year anniversary of their victory in the first ever Champions League final against AC Milan in Munich, the pre-match festivities seemed to have an effect on the hosts, who were denied on numerous occasions.
Andre-Pierre Gignac's wonderful effort was denied by Grzegorz Krychowiak, before Andre Ayew fired a decent shot wide of Kossi Agassa's goal.
At the other end, Nicolas de Preville diverted a goal-bound shot over Steve Mandanda's bar as the game ended goalless.
Lyon picked up the victory they required to qualify for the Champions League play-off round with a 2-0 win over a disappointing Stade Rennais at Stade Gerland.
Remi Garde's men required a win to make sure Lille or Saint-Etienne couldn't leapfrog them into third place, and they started the match positively, before being afforded a stroke of luck with Onyekachi Apam penalised for handball.
Up stepped Lisandro Lopez to fire past Benoit Costil for his 59th Ligue 1 goal. The Argentine would later be substituted full of tears, suggesting that his time in the Rhone Valley is at an end.
Clement Grenier, scorer of last week's 'Juninho-esque' goal against Nice, replicated the feat, with a superb strike midway through the second half as OL return to Europe's top table after a one-year absence.
Sochaux escaped relegation on the final day of the season for a second year running as they held mid-table Bastia to a 0-0 draw at Stade Armand Cesari.
The equation was simple for les Lionceaux, who, despite being in 16th place for much of the evening, could still go down if Troyes picked up a win in Valenciennes, and they lost.
They almost did, with Jeremy Choplin having a goal disallowed and Florian Thauvin missing a superb chance. Thierry Doubai spurned the visitors' best chance.
Amid nervy scenes, Sochaux held out, with the result later confirmed, enough to book them a place in next season's Ligue 1.
Nancy ended the season on a minor high, as they won the battle of the already relegated sides 2-1 at Stade Francis Le Ble.
Sebastien Puygrenier put the hosts ahead on 10 minutes, capitalising on poor defending from a corner, before firing in from a free-kick 20 minutes later. The defender ends the season, as the club's top scorer.
Brest, for all of their limitations, failed to impress once more, but a 90th minute consolation from Charlison Benschop brought an end to an unhappy season, as both sides look towards Ligue 2 next year.
Montpellier bid coach Rene Girard farewell with a 2-0 defeat to Toulouse.
Wissam Ben Yedder, who has enjoyed a rollercoaster, but proficient, first full season in Ligue 1, got the opener, latching onto Adrien Rabiot's pass and firing past Geoffrey Jourdren early on.
He doubled his tally inside a quarter of an hour, replicating the same move, with Rabiot showing great vision to create the move.
Marco Estrada hit the post, as Toulouse comfortably saw off the remainder of the match, and finish the season in tenth place.
Troyes were relegated after a season in the top-flight after a 2-1 final day defeat to Valenciennes at Stade du Hainaut.
The visitors were in the midst of a great escape, having won their last three games without conceding, but ultimately, it wasn't to be despite leading early on.
Benjamin Nivet got them to the perfect start, scoring inside 12 minutes before Florian Jarjat's own goal in the second half saw Troyes needing a minor miracle to escape the drop.
But demotion was confirmed a minute before time, with Sochaux drawing against Bastia, Gregory Pujol's second for Valenciennes ensured that Ligue 2 is their destination for the 2013-14 season.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is defending its investigation of alleged abuse at a now-defunct Panhandle reform school.
The agency Wednesday responded to questions about why it listed fewer deaths and gravesites in a 2009 report than cited in a recent University of South Florida study.
FDLE officials attributed the lower number to differing requirements for criminal investigations and academic research.
The agency's investigation was unable to substantiate or refute claims of abuse by former students at the school in Marianna about 60 miles west of Tallahassee.
Criminal investigators identified 85 student deaths and 31 gravesites. The university identified 98 student deaths and 50 gravesites.
FDLE officials said the university study included "probable" and "possible" information that has limited or no value in a criminal investigation.

With so much quality to choose from in deciding the best European XI of the current season, this team is based on reputation and not form in order to separate the plethora of candidates.
Goalkeeper: Iker Casilias | Real Madrid
The Spain and Real Madrid captain is destined to go down in history as one of football's immortals. His career has been characterised by unrivalled excellence and success. He is 32 in 2013, and for a goalkeeper he has another decade to play, which makes his achievements thus far all the more astounding. His cat like reflexes, immaculate positioning and coolness under pressure is a sight to behold for the Los Blancos legend.
Right-back: Philip Lahm | Bayern Munich
The consummate professional who is a perfect role model on and off the field, the Bayern Munich and Germany skipper has been a figure of excellence for the best part of a decade. His game has elevated since taking over the captaincy from Mark van Bommel and Michael Ballack for club and country respectively, with his defensive nous and impressive leadership skills making him a classic 'Mr. Reliable'.
Centre-back: Vincent Kompany | Manchester City
Captain of both Manchester City and Belgium, the former Hamburg star is a colossus in the heart of defence. His technical ability, strength, aerial prowess and athletic ability is world-class and his elevation to captain for club and country has only served to improve his game. He is a fine example of the modern day centre back.
Centre-back: Sergio Ramos | Real Madrid
The right-back come centre-back has taken his game to another level since his move centrally. Utilising his pace, technical excellence and energy as a full-back, he has become one of the finest central defenders in the last two years who has scored some important goals in the process. His aerial threat, coupled with deceptive strength, has served him well to become one of the most complete centre-backs in world football.
Left-back: Ashley Cole | Chelsea
The Chelsea star has been a remarkable model of consistency and excellence during his seven-year stint at Stamford Bridge. The former Arsenal man recently chalked up 100 caps for England and despite being 32, he has not allowed age to catch up with him as he continues to demonstrate the perfect balance of supplementing the attack and defending staunchly.
Centre-midfield: Bastian Schweinsteiger | Bayern Munich
The Bayern Munich star is the fulcrum of the midfield for club and country, and it's easy to see why given the Germany international excels in so many areas. His passing is superb, his vision breathtaking and his ability to score spectacular goals makes him an integral member of any team.
Centre-midfield: Andrea Pirlo | Juventus
The former AC Milan star is one of the world's most creative midfielders, let along Europe. His passing and distribution has been consistently lauded throughout his career where his ability to control the tempo of a game and spray balls all over the park with extraordinary precision making him the perfect withdrawn playmaker.
Right-wing: Cristiano Ronaldo | Real Madrid
The Portuguese superstar is simply unplayable when he gets going, and that is almost all of the time. His career at Manchester United was a smashing success, but what he has achieved at the Bernabeu is truly spectacular for the former Sporting Lisbon teenager. His ability to find the back of the net from seemingly any distance or angle has been astonishing, while his vast array of tricks and flicks that catches the eye of so many makes him a nightmare to face.
Attacking-midfield: Andres Iniesta
Iniesta is perhaps the best midfielder in the world today, as the Spanish World Cup winner possesses creativity and imagination like no other. His ability to get around the tightest of defences with a gracefulness and ease that has to be seen to be believed is a gift from God. His agility, craft and ability to play stunning killer passes makes him the perfect player to link the midfield and attack.
Left-wing: Franck Ribery | Bayern Munich
Labelled as the 'jewel of French football', the Bayern Munich star is a classic example of the modern day winger. Able to operate on either flank, the Les Bleus star's ability to play as a traditional winger who runs directly at defenders and whips in inch perfect crosses, or as an inverted winger who is able to cut in and become a goal threat is an invaluable asset to any team. He has been in outstanding form this season as Bayern Munich look to secure a remarkable treble.
Centre-forward: Zlatan Ibrahimovic | Paris Saint-Germain
The enigmatic Swede has captivated fans for a decade with his brilliance. At 6ft 5", he is a mountain of a man yet possesses jaw-dropping skills that belies his height. A player blessed with a touch of magic, he has scored some memorable goals over the years, but what is apparent as he has matured is that he has become a more complete forward as he is able to bring his teammates into the game like never before. Dominating both in the air and on the deck, Ibrahimovic is a colossal figure upfront.

This is the third time the Lady Bisons have played in the NCAA Tournament in Ohio and the second time they have played a tournament match in Dayton. Last season they played at Ohio State in Columbus against California.
It is the first time the Lady Bisons have been scheduled to play a first round game against a non-seeded opponent.
The winner of the match will advance to play the winner of the match between Butler and No. 14-seeded Dayton.
The Lady Bisons and Ohio State will play at 5 p.m. CT. Butler and Dayton will play at 7. Matches will be played at the Frericks Center at Dayton.
Lipscomb fans filled the Shamblin Theater for the announcement on ESPN News Sunday afternoon.
"I'm excited about playing Ohio State," Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "It's a nice change not to have to play a seeded team."
Earlier this season Ohio State, 22-11, played host Kennesaw State in the Owl Invitational, winning 3-0 (25-16, 25-14, 25-18). That is the only Atlantic Sun opponent Ohio State has faced this season.
The Lady Bisons are 24-6. They have not advanced past the first round in their previous two NCAA Tournaments, but Rosenthal thinks the third time could be the charm.
"With the way these girls work there is no doubt in my mind that this program can advance," Rosenthal said. "We knew coming in that we were going to be facing a good team no matter what the draw was.
"I know Ohio State's coaches. We have a pretty good idea of their style of play. All our hard work has paid off. The committee gave us a very fair draw."
The Lady Bisons will stay with their regular routine. They played Xavier Saturday, a 3-2 match win. They will be off Monday before practicing at Allen Arena Tuesday and Wednesday. They will drive to Dayton later in the day Wednesday.
"Last year we practiced after the selection show and we practiced on Monday," Rosenthal said. "But last year we didn't play a five-set match the day before the selection show.
"I've learned a lot and the players have learned a lot since last year. I was concerned too much last year with who we were going to draw. We decided that we would just wait and see who came up on the screen. It was good to make some adjustments to our approach."
Before the selection show began Philip Hutcheson, Lipscomb's athletic director, praised the team for the quality of its representation of Lipscomb both on and off of the court.
Rosenthal remembers when his journey with the program began eight years ago.
"It is amazing to see where we are now," Rosenthal said. "We have become a legitimate top 50 program.
"I don't think a lot of people thought that was possible at the beginning. But it was not only possible, it is a reality."
Rosenthal praised the work of Sullivan and trainer Regina Hash. He also praised the hard work of his players.
"We ask a lot of our girls both on the court and in the classroom," Rosenthal said. "They have bought into something that will pay off for them throughout their lives.
"This is their team. It is not my team. I give them the reins and and they have run with it."

The Wall Street Journal is out with a story this morning that says investors typically pay twice as much in trading commissions for municipal bonds as they would pay for corporate bonds, a discrepancy that hits individual investors the hardest given their prevalence in the muni market. Matt Wirz reports that the cost difference stems from regulatory shortcomings and market-making inefficiencies in the muni market:
Individual investors trading $100,000 in bonds of a municipality, such as Washington state, in December paid brokers an average "spread" of 1.73%, or $1,730. That compares with 0.87%, or $870, paid on a comparable corporate bond, such as one issued by General Electric Capital Corp., the data show.
Brokers of stocks and corporate bonds must disclose market pricing and give individuals "best execution" on trades, ensuring they receive the best prices possible. In the municipal-bond industry, those protections are absent, allowing brokers to pocket higher spreads by buying the bonds low and selling them high.
Individual investors, especially retirees, have long been attracted to municipal debt as a relatively safe investment whose interest payments aren't taxed. They own 45% of all municipal bonds directly and another 28% through mutual funds, amounting to a combined $2.7 trillion, according to data from the Federal Reserve.
The market is supervised by several regulators and structured differently than the stock and corporate-debt markets, and regulation of muni-bond trading has been slow to evolve.
The story says brokerages defend the extra costs by saying muni bonds simply cost more to transact, since they trade infrequently and in smaller amounts compared to other securities, and brokers have opposed regulatory changes. The SEC has held hearings on the issue and proposed changes in 2012 that have not been implemented.

GO or Carve? From 129 to 170?
Dear Kevin!
I posted this thread on AskOurTeam forum but looks like not much enthusiasm from pro-surfers to answer simple eternal boring question from beginners
I'm going to make my first StarBoard purchase. After reading a lot of threads in the forum and talking to some surfers around me I still can't make a decision.
Now I have in mind the range to make a choice from: GO 129, 133, 155, 170 and Carve 133, 144, 162 and need your advice badly!
I'm 77 kg =170 lbs progressive beginner, sailing the old style PVC long board with the centerboard for 2 years. Was not easy stuff for the beginner but I managed it. Now I realize that my board limit my days on the water. Since in the area I live most of the days are with light and moderate wind, my board not so fun in the light days and far from planing in the rest of the days.
My wish is to maximize the number of days on the water with the fun. To have a board which is fun to cruise in the light days (2 Bft), will plane early (3 Bft) and still possible to joint pro-surfers in the strong wind (4-5 Bft)
I understand that GO 129 and Carve 133 will be perfect for the stronger wind and GO 170 and Carve 162 will start to plane earlier. But I need to choose one now (for the beginning :-) !
The question is how fun will be to cruise GO 129 and Carve 133 in the light and moderate wind and if it possible to have good ride on GO 170 and Carve 162 in the strong wind (4-5 Bft)?
Since I don't know the "wind thresholds" for the mentioned boards, I have no idea - will I compromise something? Or may be one board from the mentioned range can take all those missions?
The idea for *Board: May be it is possible to create the simple program, where you input initial data like:
Weight = 77kg
Level = progressive
Target Wind = 2 Bft - 30%; 3 Bft - 30%; 4 Bft - 20%; 5 Bft - the Dream to catch this wind
Mission = adrenalin/to have fun/don't sit on the beach
AND.., after computing - the recommendation is?- GO170... or Carve 133... ?
Since it is not available now, please, be so kind to help me with the choice, like you did many times before
If there is no difference in light wind between Carve and GO and 133 or 129 will be quite ok (for my 77kg) for non-planing cruising and probably no big difference with cruising on 162 or 170 l board?
The main question is how early 170 vs. 129 starts planing?
and what will be the high wind limit (usually accompanied by waves and chop) for the 129 vs. 170 board?
Sorry for the bunch of questions, I hope that could help to give one answer

RE: GO or Carve? From 129 to 170?
Thanks to Ian and Roger!

RE: GO or Carve? From 129 to 170?
I would go with the Carve 133 myself. I didnt see what Roger or Ian said!
Hope you enjoy your new Starboard!

Below is his formal statement:
In March 2009, The Kresge Foundation Board of Trustees approved a $35 million grant toward the construction of a 3.4-mile, fixed rail system in the Woodward Avenue Corridor of Detroit to connect people from Detroit's riverfront to the Midtown and New Center districts to the north.
There was clearly risk associated with a project of this scale and scope. We were willing to take the risk because we believed that Detroit needed this catalytic investment to restore its standing as a world-class city.
We expected that this line would stimulate private investment, prompt businesses and jobs to relocate in the heart of Detroit, retain and attract residents seeking an urban lifestyle, strengthen the city and add to its vibrancy and long-term economic prosperity. Those expectations are today being met.
Over the past three years, the mere prospect of a light rail line has:
• Propelled the development of hundreds of millions of dollars in new real estate projects up and down the avenue.
• Fueled decisions by large employers to move to or expand their investment and footprint in the city.
• Given rise to midtown and downtown housing incentive programs.
• Attracted in excess of $100 million in new grant and loan commitments by national foundations and financial institutions.
• And stoked excitement and hope among Detroit residents for a different future in neighborhoods long passed over by market forces.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and Detroit Mayor Dave Bing shared with residents of the region their plan to create a Regional Transit Authority for southeast Michigan and establish a Bus Rapid Transit system on major corridors in metropolitan Detroit's tri-county area.
That vision assumed the community needed to abandon the light rail project that has been years in the making.
We share the desire of our elected leaders to create new funding mechanisms for transportation and improve transportation options for Detroiters and their suburban neighbors through an interconnecting web of bus rapid transit routes. We believe firmly, however, that light rail, through Detroit's premier commercial, medical, educational and cultural corridor from the riverfront to city's New Center district, should still stand as the heart of that system.
This is not about either bus rapid transit or light rail, but instead about how one can nest within the other. The Woodward light rail project was designed to complement a regional Bus Rapid Transit by supporting a revitalized, livable, walkable, vibrant downtown. The question is whether we can build, operate and financially support a light rail system in a way that strengthens the regional system envisioned by the governor.
The foundation says the members of the M1 Rail board, which has overseen the private sector's efforts to bring light rail to Woodward Avenue, do not share that view.
Whether or not we are correct, we owe it to the residents of Detroit, and the region, to explore the question of feasibility and affordability with discipline and thoroughness.

Crystal Space Contest 7
Anonymous Chris writes: "I was reading up at LinuxArtist.org and saw mention that Crystal Space is running a contest, with first, second, and third prizes of $500, $250, and $200. This is how the developers decided to distribute a $1000 grant from the Linux Fund. The deadline for your game/demo/tool is August 2002. At least there's still good news in some parts of the Linux Gaming front."

FOOD; Poached Peaches, No Cream
By FLORENCE FABRICANT
Published: July 4, 1993
POACHED peaches make a superb low-calorie summer dessert -- provided you leave off the ice cream. Since France produces some of the best peaches in the world, it is hardly surprising that French chefs have come up with some of the best ways to cook them: in wine.
Georges Blanc of La Mere Blanc in France poaches white peaches in cabernet sauvignon and serves them with a syrup thickened with raspberry puree. Raymond Blanc (no relation) of Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons at Great Milton near Oxford, England, cooks peaches in white wine with slices of orange and lemon.
Roger Verge, owner of Moulin de Mougins in the South of France, uses a heady mixture of red wine and port, flavored with black pepper and bay leaves. All these desserts can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.
The actual time for cooking peaches depends on their ripeness and size. You can tell if a peach is cooked by looking at the stem end. If it is not cooked, air from inside the stem will bubble out.
Once the bubbles cease, the peach is cooked. It is very important not to boil peaches; they should be gently simmered so their flesh is not damaged and their syrup is clear.
When Mr. Verge was a child, his aunt used to poach peaches in red wine and just before serving she added a generous glass of cassis to the syrup. He wasn't permitted to eat the fruit, but he was allowed to taste the syrup, into which he dipped a great many ladyfingers. Peaches Poached In Red Wine With Pepper Total time: 30 minutes 1tablespoon black peppercorns 1 cup port Peel of 1/2 lemon 1 vanilla bean 6 bay leaves 1/2 bottle red wine such as Cote du Rhone or pinot noir 2 to 3 tablespoons honey 6 ripe peaches.
1. Place the peppercorns in a square of cheesecloth and tie securely with string. In a large saucepan, combine the port, lemon peel, vanilla bean, bay leaves, wine, pepper sachet and bring to boil. Stir in the honey and remove the saucepan from the heat. Add more honey if necessary. Cover the saucepan and set aside.
2. Half fill large saucepan with water and bring to boil. Plunge peaches into boiling water and let them sit there for one to two minutes, then rinse them under cold water and peel them. Place them in the warm wine over medium high heat and bring to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and cool.
3. Remove fruit from syrup and place it in shallow bowl. Pick out bay leaves and stick them in fruit at stem where leaves would be. Cut the vanilla bean into six segments and place one in each peach to make a stem. Set aside in a cool place, outside the refrigerator, until ready to serve.
Yield: 6 servings.
Note: This is adapted from Roger Verge's "Entertaining in the French Style" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). Peaches Poached In White Wine Total time: 30 minutes hands on, 6 hours to marinate 1 orange 1/2 lemon 8 ripe peaches (white if possible) 2 cups water 2 cups dry white wine 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla pod.
1. Cut orange and lemon half into thin slices and remove the pits.
2. Place the peaches in a single layer in a casserole. Add the water, wine, sugar and vanilla pod and cover with the orange and lemon slices. The liquid should barely cover the fruit.
3. Cut a round of wax paper the same size as the casserole and make a small hole in the middle. Bring the fruit to a boil, then skim any foam that rises to the surface.
4. Lower the heat so one single bubble breaks at the top, then place the wax paper over the top and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup.
5. Remove the peaches from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Slip off their skins. Place the peaches in a glass bowl and top with the orange and lemon slices. Strain the syrup over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours.
Yield: 4 servings.
Note: This is adapted from Raymond Blanc's "Cooking for Friends," (Headline Book Publishing). White Peaches in Cabernet And Raspberry Syrup Total time: 20 minutes 1 1/2 cups cabernet sauvignon wine 1 1/2 cups seltzer 1/2 cup sugar 2 strips lemon peel 3 strips orange peel 4 black peppercorns Pinch of ground cinnamon 3/4 pint fresh raspberries 8 ripe white peaches Lemon juice to taste (optional).
1. Combine wine and seltzer in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan. Add sugar, lemon and orange peels, peppercorns and cinnamon and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain the syrup and then refrigerate until chilled.
2. Puree the raspberries in a food processor. Strain the puree into a bowl and set aside. When the cabernet syrup is cold, stir into the raspberry puree.
3. Peel and pit the peaches. If they are very ripe, they should peel easily without blanching; otherwise blanch them and remove their skins. Cut the peaches into even slices and divide them among four large round wine glasses. Taste the wine syrup and add more sugar, lemon juice or seltzer to taste. The syrup should be quite thin. Pour the syrup over the peaches and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.
Note: This is adapted from "The Natural Cuisine of Georges Blanc" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). The original version of the recipe calls for fresh black currants, which are often difficult to find in the United States. If you can obtain them, add two-thirds pound to the wine syrup to infuse for five minutes before straining. Press hard on berries when you strain them to extract as much juice as possible.

Juwan cuts onions ~30 seconds into the video
Juwan cuts onions ~30 seconds into the video
That's awesome to see...very cool moment!
That's great.
Finally got their championship, great moment...
Who is hugging Jalen towards the end of that clip? Is that Bron Bron?
That would be King James to you good Sir
Crying? No I'm not crying. I just got something in my eye.
In all seriousness. I could not be happier for these guys...and the fact that Juwan is yelling "FAB FIVE!!!" just tops it off.
F*** the banners. The Fab Five were here, they did exist. They changed the game, they changed the world. It's great --- to be --- a Michigan...Woooolverine.
MVP MVP MVP.. you mean they gave that to LeBron?.. dang
Too lazy to fetch statistics, but someone posted on twitter that Howard was the first of the Fab Five to win a championship in college or pro sports.
So Congrats to Howard.
The title page of the link article might help. Just sayin... and good effort.
You probably didn't have to put the college part in there, right?
is up with pouring beer on Jalen's head?
Pretty sure it was champagne. And that's what teams do when they win championships.
So if you look at 1:04 in the video, there is clearly a bottle of Budwiser placed over the head of Mr. Rose
Unless Budweiser started making champagne in red metallic bottles, you are correct.
That's Miller High Life. Although it's stil <<<<<< Budweiser, I can actually handle High Life. Plus I like that dude on their commercials.
I can't start my own post, but this I'd awesome. Kid songs his way into uofm. http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/teen-sings-way-off-university-michi...
Good thing you don't have enough points to start a thread. Rule 1 before making thread use the site search function,
Damn, that guy can HUG.
Now I want one.
Great story on Juwan from before the game yesterday.
That was really cool. And emotional. Thanks for posting that. Too bad Chris, Jimmy and Ray couldn't be there to share that with Juwan too.
Better than cutting the cheese....
amirite? AMIRITE?
So can we at least put up a Miami Heat Championship banner in Crisler?
Miami Heat Fab Five NBA Champions 2012.
It didn't even strike just how emotional on multiple levels this is for them until the article mentioned that Howard is the only remaining member of the Fab Five in the NBA yet is the first among them to be on a team that won a ring. That had to make this moment that much more moving for them.
Thanks for sharing this.
This was surprisingly moving. I'm delighted to see that bond still so strong.
Great to see him get a ring. Best Juwan moment: graduates with his class at UM, even though he went to NBA after his junior year.
True that may have been his "best" moment...but this was certainly my favorite.
I hate the NBA - but I made it a point to watch the game last night because I wanted to see Juwan get his ring.
The onions are strong in that video. Love those guys, Fab Five Forever!
Clearly, Juwan Howard was a huge contributor to this team's success on the court
Don't pee in our cheerios.
Shut up.
very solid... go blue!!
Look familiar?

Microsoft's OneNote has made the move to the mobile and cloud space in a big way over the past year. There are now versions for Android, iPad, iPhone, and, of course, Microsoft's own Windows Phone. All of these OneNote mobile versions can sync to Microsoft's free cloud storage service SkyDrive, where there is a Web version of the application. Here's a quick look at these OneNote mobile versions and the hints that Microsoft might be giving us about Microsoft Office for iPad and Windows On Arm (WOA).
OneNote Mobile for Android is capable of retaining header and hyperlink formatting, unlike OneNote for iOS.
OneNote was originally designed back in 2001 for tablets with styluses. After tablet PCs became vertical-market products OneNote's appeal quickly became limited. When cloud-based products such as Evernote appeared, OneNote lost a potential new customer base. Now, however, OneNote is available as a Web product that can sync with its desktop version and the current generation of touch-based mobile products.
All of the OneNote mobile apps require a Microsoft Live ID. This is used to sync notes with OneNote Web App, which is a part of Microsoft's SkyDrive cloud storage service. Each SkyDrive account offers 25GB of storage. However, the free versions of the OneNote app are limited to 500 notes. You can eliminate this limit by upgrading the app. Until as recently as December 2011, the upgrade price for the Android and iOS apps was the same: $4.99. Now the iOS upgrade costs $14.99. This price increase might be an indication of what Microsoft plans to price other Microsoft Office components for iOS when and if they become available. It might also give us an idea of what Microsoft Office for WOA will cost.
OneNote Mobile for Android
You'll need a newer Android device to install OneNote Mobile for Android. It will work only on devices running Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread) or newer. Based on Google's data for Android Market access, this means OneNote Mobile for Android won't work with nearly one-third of active Android phones and tablets.
OneNote Mobile for Android can't format text with boldface, italics, or header styles. However, it will display formatted text that was created with OneNote for the desktop, OneNote Web App, or OneNote for Windows Phone. One of the advantages of OneNote over EverNote is that OneNote documents with rich text can be edited by all the mobile app versions. (EverNote can append to a note with rich text, but it can't edit rich text.)
OneNote Mobile for Android might present a challenge for older devices with limited system memory. Installed on a Nexus One (circa January 2010), for example, it takes up the relatively huge amount of 19MB of system memory. Unfortunately, OneNote Mobile for Android can't be moved to a flash storage card.
OneNote for the iPhone and iPad
There are separate versions of OneNote Mobile for iPhone and iPad. However, except for different layouts for the two screen sizes, the apps are identical.
OneNote Mobile for iPhone
