Cloud Expo New York | Danger Ahead: Why File Sync Is NOT Endpoint Backup
Code 42's Andrew Renz to discuss cloud-based sync and cloud-based endpoint backup
By: Pat Romanski
Apr. 7, 2013 12:00 PM
Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
Some cloud-based file sync vendors tout their solutions as viable alternatives for the online backup of business information stored on laptops and desktops. But existing sync products lack a variety of critical backup capabilities, including those required to secure enterprise data. Understanding the differences between cloud-based sync and cloud-based endpoint backup is critical to properly protecting sensitive business information.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Andrew Renz, Principal Enterprise Engineer at Code 42, will define cloud-based sync and cloud-based endpoint backup, and provide recommendations for which solution type best meets your data needs. He will share wisdom gained from his experience selecting and/or deploying enterprise backup solutions for Apple, Oracle, Expedia and Intuit.

A Timeline Of Threesomes You May Have At Various Points In Life
One thing you may or may not know about me is that I've had a lot of threesomes for a 27-year-old Jewish girl from Connecticut. Or at least…more than average, I think? And unlike my esteemed colleague Amanda Chatel's threesome, mine have mostly been fun! I'm also friends with a lot of harlots. Hence, I feel qualified to create a taxonomy of the threesomes a lady who scores, say, a 1 or 2 on the Kinsey scale might have as she journeys from puberty straight through to her twilight years. Come along with me on a magical journey of self-discovery filled with love, laughs, and lots of extra genitalia.[ITPGallery]

I have just aquired an eee pc 701 running 1.01 software, which is not much use and the sound has disappeared. which is still the case when I boot from a USB stick holding Mint 11, this works reasonably well, if a little slowly.
The 701 only has a 3.6Gb drive and 512 Mb RAM, am I best sticking with this combination or can I safely reinstall some flavour of linux like Ubuntu netbook remix from a USB?

Maintaining the 2,663-mile, world-renowned Pacific Crest Trail isn't as much of a headache as it is a foot, back, leg and arm ache.
A never-ending, colossal amount of physically grueling work goes into keeping the popular path clear for hikers, equestrian riders and other trailgoers, and it takes a like-minded skill set to ensure the job is done right.
"It's hard work," said Lauren Everall, breathing heavily while hand-sawing through a downed log with a 5-foot long, lance-toothed crosscut saw. The retired piece of logging equipment still is an important tool for trail workers on the PCT, about half of which meanders through 47 federally recognized wilderness areas — where power saws are off-limits.
Everall, 29, of British Columbia, was one of about 40 hiking enthusiasts who pitched camp at Hyatt Lake last week for three days of trail building and maintenance workshops organized by the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
The third annual Big Bend Trail Skills College is one of seven similar multi-day workshops the PCTA organizes in Washington, Oregon and California annually to attract volunteers and teach them what it takes to keep the PCT in proper shape.
Friday, before regular classes started, a handful of students completed a basic saw crew course that included chainsaw and crosscut saw demonstrations, and a chance for everyone to hone their skills with the tools.
"This is really stretching it for me ... I'm not use to work like this," said Helene Mussuto, 55, of Klamath Falls, preparing to start a Husqvarna chainsaw.
Mussuto, who started hiking about seven years ago, is a member of the Klamath Trails Alliance and hikes everyday, "so I need to make sure I know how to keep these trails maintained for others." "I use to be afraid of the woods," she said. "But I slowly became comfortable as I built my skills."
Dennis Taugher, 70, of Klamath Falls, and founder of KTA, said he plans to take everything he can from the trail skills college and apply it to maintaining hiking trailing around Klamath Falls.
The KTA is a partner of the Sacramento, Calif.-headquartered PCTA, which partners with an array of and organizations and agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, state forestry and parks departments, and many private nonprofits.
Annually about 88,000 volunteer hours go into maintaining the PCT, said Jennifer Tripp, PCTA trail operations manager.
About 8,000 of those are spent on the about 450-mile "Big Bend" section of the trail, from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in California to just north of Crater Lake National Park, said PCTA regional representative Ian Nelson.
The section of the trail is named after where the PCT bends into the Castle Crags Wilderness south of Mount Shasta before curling back along the Siskiyou Crest and into the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument south of Ashland, Nelson said.
David Greenfield of New York said he is staying on the West Coast through the summer while three of his friends hike the entire PCT, called "through hiking." Attending the trail skills college seemed like the perfect idea, he said.
"I have done some trail maintenance on the East Coast but never taken any classes. I've always loved the outdoors. ... Now that I'm semi-retired, I finally have some time to enjoy things like this," Greenfield said.
The trail skills colleges are no place for back-breaking work, Nelson said. That comes with crew outings and depends on the type of work being done.
"This isn't where your going to spend all weekend digging new trail. It's not about the volume of work we get done. It's about teaching the students quality skills," Nelson said. "Not everyone is going to come back a do serious work on the PCT, and that's OK. We want people to learn and enjoy their time while they're here. ... Of course, we would love it if everyone did come back."
The PCTA has plenty of volunteer opportunities, Tripp said, and volunteers can physically exert themselves to whichever level they'd like.
"We welcome pretty much everyone, no prerequisites," she said. "We couldn't do our work without volunteers, and there are plenty more opportunities for people who do want to volunteer with PCTA."

I guess it was just an illusion.
Walking into Bacchus Nibbles' new space in Lake Zurich, the restaurant certainly seemed bigger.
Bacchus Nibbles800 W. Main St., Lake Zurich
(847) 438-3212; bacchusnibbles.com
Cuisine: Contemporary American
Setting: Casual space rimmed with wine racks
Entrees: $14.50 to $24.75
Hours: 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday and Monday; 11:30 a.m. to midnight Tuesday to Saturday
For 20 years, the restaurant occupied an aging building at Quentin and Rand roads in Kildeer. Late in 2013 the owners moved a few miles west to Route 22 (Main Street) and Rand Road in Lake Zurich. (The land was bought by IDOT and the building will be torn down to make way for intersection improvements, owner Matt Hawes said.)
Anyway, the old building just seemed so awkward -- a cramped entry right next to the kitchen door -- and in need of renovations on my 2007 visit. This new spot at 800 W. Main St., however, blew me away. Yes, it sits in a strip mall, but don't hold that against it. It boasts a visible corner spot and a patio that will make al fresco dining an attractive option when the weather warms.
We walked into a beautiful space rimmed with gently draped floor-to-ceiling windows and a granite-topped bar accented by layered stone walls. There's a flat screen TV, but the game-of-the-night certainly isn't the focus here. Much of the art and the wine racks from the previous outpost were re-purposed so regulars will feel right at home.
Guest can sidle up to the bar (there are more seats here than at the old location) for a cocktail or Sauvignon Blanc, get comfortable at one of several high-topped tables, or settle into a traditional table on the other side of the space.
And believe it or not, there are fewer seats, Hawes assures me, in part because there's no private room which was on the second level of the old building. Who knew?
The menu, however, is no illusion. With chef Leobardo Sevrin still at the helm (he's been with Hawes nearly 20 years), Bacchus Nibbles continues to serve well-crafted, contemporary American fare.
My group of four started our meal with wine -- fairly priced California and French grapes weight the menu -- and the appetizer platter. The phyllo-goat cheese bites were a hit, as were the coconut-battered shrimp, much more so than the fried green beans that we added to the order. The breaded, crisply cooked beans are listed on the "sides" menu, but could do double duty as a nice veggie starter had they been dipped in a light tempura batter instead of cloaked in batter more suited for mozzarella sticks.
Other appetizers include bruschetta, shrimp cocktail and spinach and artichoke dip.
Burgers, sandwiches and salads are available for lunch or lighter dinners. The mango chicken salad was a gem: a brightly flavored shareable plate with a fruity vinaigrette.
I was pleased to see the duck tenderloin didn't get lost in the move. Sevrin slices planks of breast meat and rolls them in an almond and coconut crust before tossing them in the fryer. These are so tasty that even my chicken nugget-loving son munched on the leftovers. The peanut sauce and vegetable and rice pilaf nicely round out the plate.
Schnitzel made with beef tenderloin, portobello ravioli and tilapia baked in phyllo are other solid customer favorites, but we swayed toward the bay scallops. The tender bite-sized scallops come sauteed and tossed in a creamy curry of well-balanced Thai spices.
The waitstaff followed Hawes to the new spot and hasn't lost a beat. Our waiter asked all the right questions and directed us toward enjoyable wines that paired well with our entrees.
We could hardly find a discouraging word about the meal until dessert. We ordered the signature dessert, creme brulee, and the evening's special chocolate creme brulee. While I've been pleased with the creme brulee before, on this visit both versions were disappointingly soupy.
I'll put my faith in Bacchus -- the Roman god of wine -- that the creme brulee will be better next time.

DERBY, Conn. -- The Yale lightweight crew travels down to Princeton, N.J. this weekend to compete in the Princeton Chase. The race marks the first opportunity for the entire squad to compete; at the Chase, they will face competition from across the EARC.
The first event of day is the men's lightweight eight at 10:30 a.m. Yale has four entries: three varsity eights and a freshmen eight. After a second place finish at last year's event, the first varsity will start second behind Harvard. This starting order also applies to subsequent entries, with the Yale 'B' boat starting behind Harvard 'B,' and so on. The first varsity will be looking to improve on its third place finish at the Head of the Charles last Sunday. The athletes in the second varsity-- after strong performances in the fours last weekend-- will also be looking to make their mark.
The next event is the men's lightweight four, in which four Yale crews will compete. The first four will take off second behind Harvard 'A,' with the other crews starting 11th, 19th and 26th. Building on recent success in the event, in addition to strong performances in the fours last weekend, all crews will be working to improve on their seed.
In the final event of the day, senior Matthew Bridgwater will race the men's single in the small boats event at 2:30. The Elis also have an entry in the men's pair.
The Princeton Chase presents an exciting opportunity for the entire lightweight squad to compete before heading indoors for the winter season. After the Charles, this the final chance for the Bulldogs to test their speed before the dual season, which kicks off in late March.
The freshmen, however, will return to action November 2 at the Green Monster, held in Hanover, N.H.

Exquisite Bernini exhibition opens at the National Gallery of Canada
Ottawa (Ontario) - November 26, 2008
Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture
An exhibition that epitomizes the drama
and the dynamism of the Baroque era
November 28, 2008 to March 8, 2009
A story of genius, patronage, power, and rivalry unfolds with the opening of the National Gallery of Canada's (NGC) ground-breaking winter exhibition. On view from November 28, 2008 to March 8, 2009, Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture is the first-ever comprehensive exhibition of portrait busts by one of the greatest sculptors of all time, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This is the first time that all these works are being displayed together in an exhibition and many have never before been seen outside of Italy.
Organized in collaboration with the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the NGC is the sole Canadian venue for this exhibition. Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture features 50 works, including some of Bernini's most celebrated sculptures created in marble, as well as works in bronze and porphyry, paintings and drawings. Also on view are portrait busts by other significant sculptors of 17th century Rome, such as Francesco Mochi, François Duquesnoy, Giuliano Finelli and Alessandro Algardi, all of whom were Bernini's contemporaries and great artists in their own right. A visit to www.gallery.ca/bernini, the website dedicated to this exhibition, provides context and further information.
The NGC's own bust of the Barberini pope Urban VIII is a focal point of the exhibition; it is richly complemented by significant loans from some of the most prestigious arts institutions and private collections in Europe and North America.
"Thanks to the National Gallery's partnership with the J. Paul Getty Museum and the extraordinary generosity of international lenders, we are able to bring an exhibition of exceptional quality and historical significance to the Canadian public and international visitors to Ottawa," said NGC Director, Pierre Théberge. "This is a privilege beyond measure."
Bernini's Genius
Bernini's genius lay in his remarkable ability to create life-like images in the intractable medium of marble. A childhood prodigy, his brilliance was spotted by papal patrons very early in his career. He mastered the art of rendering surfaces and textures such as silk, cotton, lace and fur and made them unique to that piece. His innovative new techniques brought stone to life.
"Bernini's sculptures typify the drama and dynamism of the Baroque era," said NGC Deputy Director and Chief Curator, David Franklin. "His innovative techniques revolutionized the realm of portrait sculpture. He blurred the borders between painting and sculpture, as well sculpture and architecture, which made him one of the most multi-faceted and influential artists of his time."
Hailed as the "new Michelangelo," Bernini, like his predecessor, was a sculptor, painter and an architect. He was also fascinated by the theatre and wrote plays and poems. His name is synonymous with the Baroque period. The portraits in this exhibition show Bernini's evolution as an artist and range from powerful patrons, such as popes, cardinals, rulers and generals, to artists, poets and servants. Three women are included: a mother, a noble wife and Bernini's lover, Costanza Bonarelli, which is arguably one of the most famous works in the exhibition. Together these works reflect the power, motion and a sense of theatricality which exemplify this epoch. They also underscore the role of the Catholic Church and its extraordinary patronage of the arts, albeit largely for culturally political purposes; and how, through this patronage, Bernini was propelled to power and international acclaim.
Exhibition Themes and Organization
Set in the context of Baroque Rome, Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture is chronologically organized and its works are divided into five central themes:
Bernini's Early Career
Born in Naples and son of Pietro Bernini, who was a painter prior to becoming an accomplished sculptor, Gian Lorenzo was a child prodigy who became famous for his skill in carving from an early age and who was soon receiving commissions from influential patrons. This section reveals the exceptional talent he displayed in his late teens and early twenties and is the period when he was the most actively engaged in portrait sculpture. These portraits laid the foundation of an extraordinary career and made Bernini one of the most sought-after sculptors in Europe.
Bernini's Portrait Drawings
This section displays drawings that span the 1620s to the 1640s and show the evolution of Bernini's style over this period. While his early works are precise, his later portraits favour tone and freedom. In contrast to Bernini's sculptures which portray the elite, his drawings were likely of friends, acquaintances or family members. His depictions display engaged and responsive people, aware that they were being observed.
Speaking Likeness: Intimacy and Immediacy in Bernini's Portraits
Important portrait busts shown in this gallery which were commissioned in the 1630s by Cardinal Scipione Borghese and Pope Urban VIII, reveal Bernini's technical virtuosity in capturing not just the physical likeness but also the personality of his sitters. Taking a cue from contemporary painting, these works marked the start of a decisive change in his approach to portraiture which became known as the "speaking likeness." These busts were more intimate and were portrayed as if in action. Capturing a moment in time, they convey the illusion of life and the subject's psychological presence. They invite viewers into their own drama and evoke a response.
New Sensibilities: Bernini's Contemporaries
This part of the exhibition explores works from the 1630's – a period during which portrait sculpture was revolutionized and re-energized. Portrait busts became ambitious and artists constantly searched for new ways of presenting their works. Sculptures by Bernini's contemporaries Francois Duquesnoy, Francesco Mochi, Giuliano Finelli and Alessandro Algardi are displayed in this gallery. At this time, Rome had become a burgeoning centre of the arts, attracting artists from across Italy and other parts of Europe. Together, they worked with Bernini to explore "naturalist" portraiture. While they were profoundly influenced by Bernini, they also became his bitter rivals.
Bernini's Triumph: Art for Rome and the Courts of Europe
The final gallery in the exhibition shows Bernini at the pinnacle of his career. His sculptures were used to glorify the church and papacy. He dominated art in Rome and his portrait busts had become the ultimate in prestige. As his fame spread across Europe to North America, his works were sought after by British and French nobility alike. However, to safeguard the prestige of Rome, Pope Urban VIII and Pope Alexander VII jealously guarded Bernini's talents, selectively allowing him to undertake international commissions.
Exhibition Curators
The exhibition is curated by Catherine Hess, associate curator of sculpture and decorative arts at the J. Paul Getty Museum; Andrea Bacchi, scholar and professor, Università di Trento, Italy; and Jennifer Montagu, Honorary Fellow, Warburg Institute, London. It premiered at the Getty Museum this past summer before being exhibited at the NGC. The partnership with the J. Paul Getty Museum has been spearheaded by the Gallery's Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Dr. David Franklin. This exhibition presented at the NGC has been coordinated by Mayo Graham, Interim Chief Curator and Director, National Outreach and International Relations, and Dr. Christopher Etheridge, Curatorial assistant.
A 336-page catalogue produced by the National Gallery of Canada and the J. Paul Getty Museum accompanies this exhibition. Published in English and French, its 155-colour plates and 114 black and white illustrations reveal the remarkable innovation of Bernini and his contemporaries and the artistic richness of the Baroque period. Edited by Andrea Bacci, Catherine Hess and Jennifer Montagu, it contains contributions by the editors as well as Julian Brooks, Ann-Lise Demars, David Franklin, Jennifer Montagu, Stephen F. Ostrow and Jon L. Seydl. Available at a cost of $44.95 in soft cover and $70.00 in hardcover, it is now on sale at the National Gallery of Canada Bookstore or at www.shopngc.ca, the NGC's online store.
Educational Activities
A full program of educational activities is scheduled throughout the exhibition. These include an opportunity to tour the exhibition with the curator, lectures, films and a play written by Bernini. For more information, visit www.gallery.ca, call 1.800.990.1985 or 1.800.319.ARTS.

2.2 Valve Cover Gasket
Posted 21 September 2009 - 08:30 AM
1. The book shows six bolts, but the picture doesn't match with what I see. I see three bolts kind of in the middle where it's stamped "16 Valve". The book shows three on the top, and three on the bottom - maybe their picture is for the 2.5? Anyway, am I right that I'll just need to remove the three 10mm bolts in the middle?
2. Given that lots of oil is leaking now, should I expect oil to come pouring out when I open these things up? I use a "Fumoto Valve" for draining the oil, so I suppose I could drain some (or all) of the oil if I need to.
3. Is it as straightforward as the book says? Are removing the battery holder and air intake things more difficult than the one line in the book? Do I have to do something special to put in a gasket - I've never done this before. I've done tons of oil changes and replaced a couple of alternators, but not much more than that. Any special rookie mistakes to look out for?
Posted 21 September 2009 - 08:39 AM
I don't remember removing the airbox, but I did remove the batter for better access. Also remember to change the grommets around those three bolts on either side as they can leak too.
Oil won't come pouring out, but you will get some drizzle so a pan or piece of cardboard or something underneath would be a good idea.
Posted 21 September 2009 - 08:42 AM
I just did this on my daughters Legacy L wagon. There are only 3 10mm bolts to take off.
The passenger side was easiest, no clutter. The drivers side has the windshield washer bottle there, plus the A/C hoses. So it takes longer.
No oil came running out. Make sure you put the new O rings on the bolts.

valve covers are really easy, just start removing the 10mm bolts you see holding them on. remove whatever is in the way to get to them. very simple.
draining the oil is pointless as the oil level isn't that high in the pan anyway. they only leak when the car is running and oil is being supplied to the covers, so not much is going to come out, a teaspoon maybe.
if you were really worried about it you could jack that side of the car up so the oil runs towards the center of the car, not out. i never do that though.

Also, ironically enough, the day after my order shipped from subarugenuineparts.com, the ABS relay motor on my wife's legacy started buzzing. Nobody locally carries it. A gentle tap seems to have made the problem go away (for now). I'll clean the contacts, and according to other posts that may take care of it for a while.

The only one I have on the shelf is from a 99 OBW.

P.S.: Any difference between a Beck/Arnley gasket and a Fel-Pro one?

it was obvous on my 2.5. keep a clean rag handy to cover the valve area since it is easy to have dirt fall in there as you wrangle out the cover. be careful not to overtorque the bolts as you reinstall. 3 ftlbs?

Hey guys, I'm needing to do VC gaskets on my 93 Legacy L (2.2)... do you need to use the black silicone gasket sealer on these? Because every bit of info I have found never mentions it, so I'm assuming no?
P.S.: Any difference between a Beck/Arnley gasket and a Fel-Pro one?
No gasket sealer on my 2.5 per Cityside Subaru in MA.

Sorry, I'm not a mechanic and my experience is limited. Just wanted to make sure I don't do this wrong.
Better question is why suggest using rubber sealant on a rubber gasket?! Hate it when people do that. I didn't use oem seals, I bought mine from autopartsway, and didn't use sealant, i just wiped the block surface with a cloth, and cleaned the valve covers with a scrub brush. Year later still no leaks! The kit included the grommets too.

Of course, when I noticed something weird on the test drive my wife (it was her car) informed me that the transmission had been acting weird lately. That led to me to change the transmission fluids (another first for me), and then to have our mechanic put in a used transmission.
Happiness after successfully doing valve cover gaskets. Tempered happiness after doing transmission fluid. Unhappiness after paying for used transmission. Real unhappiness with the loud clicking sound it makes now. No leaks from the VCG though!

lol I mean't other people on the forum suggesting to use sealant
Good to hear, and sucks to hear.

We had no way of knowing that Kentucky's loss to Kansas in the 2007 NCAA Tournament would be Tubby Smith's last game as the UK head coach. What has to be a bigger shock is just the suggestion that a loss to Creighton Monday night in the National Invitation Tournament could mark the end of the Billy Gillispie era as well.
How did we get here? How did it happen?
There are as many opinions as there are portals to the internet. And nobody has all the facts. We just know what we know.
Farewell, Tubby
Tubby Smith began thinking about an exit strategy long before that spring day, when he bolted for Minnesota. In fact, he himself told me Lou Holtz had advised him to get out, back when Smith was sending top-seeded teams to the NCAA tourney, in the early 2000's. Holtz had learned first-hand, at Notre Dame, what it was like when the cheering ebbs. Get out while you're ahead, he counseled Tubby.
What made Smith think about a change of address in earnest was his desire to have his son, Saul, join his coaching staff. Everybody knows what kind of pressure he was under to make changes among his assistants, even after the 2004-05 season that saw him a rebound or two away from that elusive second trip to the Final Four.
Call it loyalty, call it stubbornness, Tubby dug in. But toward the end, sources tell me, he agreed to clean house (with the exception of Dave Hobbs) if he could bring Saul on board.
Trouble was, UK has an anti-nepotism policy, the same one of which former Athletics Director Larry Ivy ran afoul when his step-son, Rob Manchester, landed a graduate assistant's job with the football team.
It's understandable as to why Smith would want to hire his own son, who eventually did join him at Minnesota. I can relate; my own son, Jack, sometimes travels with me to sporting events to lend a hand. My daughter Kate often pitches in on the UK broadcasts at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena. I enjoy having them around, seeing as how just last week they were toddlers.
And if you read Gene Wojciechowski's excellent piece in ESPN The Magazine a few years ago, you'd understand the special bond between Tubby and Saul. Tubby and Donna nearly lost Saul when he was very young to a medical condition requiring extensive surgery, instilling within them the fear no parent should have to experience.
Tubby also told the administration he would shake things up if he could get a contract extension (either one or two years, depending on whom you believe). With 25 losses in the past two seasons, he didn't really have much of a chance there.
So upon hearing "No, thank you," he became a Gopher, leaving behind a body of work that was far more impressive in the first eight than it was in the last two.
And that's where I part company with Tubby Bashers.
Disguised Racism
They embrace the notion that the 1998 NCAA Championship was somehow tainted, or worthless, because Rick Pitino recruited most of the players. Funny, nobody ripped Roy Williams for winning a title with kids recruited by Matt Doherty.
And those same malcontents will tell you that the program has been going downhill from the day Smith was hired.
That's where the racism buzzer goes off in my head.
And don't kid yourself, it was there. From the season ticket cancellations the day Smith was hired to the cowardly, anonymous phone calls to the talk shows – a faction of UK "fans" made themselves clear.
That, to me, was far more disappointing than the events that led to the infamous Sports Illustrated cover, which included the headline, "Kentucky's Shame."
Even if you didn't like his style of play (understandable, after the way Pitino's teams got up and down the floor) you couldn't argue with the results: five SEC championships, five SEC tournament titles, a single season that saw his team race undefeated through both the league and tournament (only to be done in by Dwyane Wade) and three trips to the Elite Eight.
It was the lack of another trip to the Final Four that was conspicuous by its absence. But had it happened, in '99, '03 or '95, the haters would have found a way to dis that, too.
So Tubby left. And Mitch Barnhart had to find a new coach.
The Search Was On
Timing was everything in the spring of 2007. Kentucky needed a new head coach; everybody's favorite former Wildcat assistant was busy winning a second straight national championship at Florida.
It wasn't a poorly-kept secret; in fact, it was no secret at all: UK coveted Billy Donovan. It would have been front-page story if it hadn't. As we all know by now, Donovan said "No, thanks" to Kentucky and settled into Gainesville. For about 15 minutes. Then he trundled off to the NBA's Orlando Magic.
But before anyone could say "Tim Floyd," Donovan headed back to UF, realizing college hoops really was the place for him.
Barnhart was ripped almost immediately, and in some circles has been ever since, for fumbling the negotiations with Donovan. Only here's the rub: There never were any.
Barnhart had exactly one ( 1 ) conversation with Billy D; that was to offer him the job. It came two days after the championship game.
There had been, indeed, negotiations – informal ones, by people flying below both the UK and UF official channels. And they had agreed in principle. Both sides thought the deal was done. In fact, if you recall, the Cats' Pause posted on the front page of its web site what turned out to be speculation on the situation, likening it to the Kentucky Derby, with the blanket of roses ready for draping.
Only, Billy D wanted The League. And Pitino had recommended he make that move. The UK AD heard Donovan's refusal when Florida issued a statement, saying its coach was staying put.
Barnhart had to turn to column "B."
Who Next?
Rick Barnes was on that list. Trouble was, he needed more time. His superstar freshman, Kevin Durant, had not yet informed him as to whether or not he was ready to jump to the NBA. Barnes, understandably, wanted to coach Durant again, if he had the opportunity.
But Barnhart knew there were recruits at stake, and that any delay could cost the program. According to sources, Patrick Patterson and Jai Lucas were going to announce their respective college choices together, at an all-star game. And the winner was to be Kentucky. But when Tubby left, Lucas headed for Gainesville and Patterson re-opened his recruitment.
Barnhart turned to the man who'd forged a reputation on quick-turnarounds and 24/7 recruiting – two job skills UK basketball sorely needed. He put in the call to Gillispie.
After a whirlwind courtship, Billy Clyde arrived in Lexington, to thousands of screaming fans in Memorial Coliseum. Barnhart was hailed the hero, both locally and by the national media, who proclaimed the hire a slam dunk.
This was the same Mitch Barnhart who'd been so reviled by UK fans almost since the day he stepped on campus. It seemed nothing he had done was right.
Fumbling Football
Barnhart was vilified for not "keeping" Guy Morriss as head football coach – even though he had turned Morriss's series of one-year contracts (which he was basically force-fed by Larry Ivy and Lee Todd) into a four-year deal. Morriss tearfully told the UK Athletics Board that no one had ever shown that kind of faith in him. And Barnhart eventually provided Morriss with a schedule of raises for his assistant coaches (I actually saw a copy of it).
But for whatever reason, their relationship went sour, and GuyMo headed for Waco, getting out as overwhelming NCAA sanctions were moving in.
Barnhart set about looking for a new head football coach, a guy with a household name, and n imaginative offense – someone who could help Big Blue fans look beyond the lean years that were on the way, to a brighter day, when recruits would flock to Lexington, the footballs would be flying and the bowl bids would arrive.
That man was Norm Chow.
The hottest assistant coach in the country, Chow had been busy helping Southern California become relevant again, working with Pete Carroll, who had rejuvenated Trojan football.
Barnhart believed Chow was the answer and the two came to terms. Only, the night before Chow was to fly to Lexington, a family matter arose, forcing him to call Barnhart and back away from their agreement. He had to stay on the west coast, Chow explained.
So Barnhart was back at square one, and he set about trying to convince a coach of substance to take the what might have been the worst job in Division I football.
Every college football coach in America new the NCAA had drilled Kentucky, that a program that struggled just to be mediocre had been buried by sanctions. In the 1990's, Texas Christian was nailed with sanctions not nearly as stringent, and it took TCU 10 years to dig out – in a state crawling with homegrown football talent.
Chow was one of five to say "no," leaving Barnhart searching for answers. For help he turned to an old friend, Rich Brooks.
Barnhart had spent a year at the University of Oregon early in his career, and prior to coming to Kentucky, four years at Oregon State as the athletics director. He knew that in the Pacific Northwest, Brooks was revered for the job he did building the Ducks' into a consistent Top 25 power. Back in the day, Oregon and Oregon State were to the Pacific 10 what Kentucky and Vanderbilt had been to the SEC.
You probably know by now that when Barnhart asked Brooks for suggestions, the coach said, essentially, "How about me?"
It was a decision that did not play well to a fan base that had some members convinced Steve Spurrier would come here for the right amount of money.
And then Barnhart did what his detractors will never forgive: He raised ticket prices.
Barnhart recognized the fact that the UK budget lagged woefully behind most other SEC schools – the same schools pounding Kentucky in practically every sport but basketball.
During the search for a new AD, countless callers to my radio show allowed as how the Wildcats should be able to at least compete in EVERY sport. They didn't know, nor did I, how terribly underfunded the "minor" sports were. Some teams had only part-time assistant coaches; one team's coach also doubled as the laundry manager.
There would be no new money coming from TV and radio, conference contracts or any other conventional sources. Ticket prices HAD to go up, whether it was Mitch Barnhart raising them, or Dan Issel, or whoever else had been in the running for the job.
Brooks' success on the football field helped ease at least some of the criticism of Barnhart. The hiring of Gillispie looked as though it could bring actual long-term sunshine. But it hasn't quite turned out that way.
The Tubby haters still blame the former coach, conveniently forgetting that A.) he left behind the point guard this team lacks (Derrick Jasper) and B.) Gillispie, the recruiting specialist, usually starts four players signed by Smith (plus Patterson, who was recruited by Tubby).
Gillispie did a marvelous job last year – again, with a roster full of players primarily recruited by Smith. Patterson went down with an injury, Jodie Meeks and Jasper were playing on one leg and still, the Cats won 12 of 16 SEC games in a season when the conference was much tougher than it is now. He shared Coach of the Year honors with Bruce Pearl – the fourth consecutive season he'd been named COY in one league or another.
And yet, he has banked virtually no good will from his efforts. The season has been bizarre, with the Cats tumbling from a hammerhold on the league (at 16-4, 5-0) to a berth in the lowly NIT. And Gillispie hasn't helped himself by treating Jeannine Edwards so disrespectfully (separately, they were mild incidents. Together, a disturbing pattern). His steadfast refusal to play zone even out of a time out hasn't won him many fans, either.
Did Barnhart move too quickly with the hire? Perhaps. Did he get bad "intelligence" on BCG? Definitely. Nobody warned him that Gillispie's personality could set the entire athletics department on edge. Or that his negative, sarcastic tone in practice would make at least some of his players miserable.
At Texas-El Paso, as well as Texas A&M, Gillispie was a salvation. Their players were faced with the prospects of being parts of programs that had little or no hope of succeeding. And within two seasons, they both knew the joy of post-season play. His last A&M team was a dark horse for the Final Four.
At Kentucky, the Wildcats knew they were close. The NCAA Tournament was a given; they just needed a little more of what Gillispie figured to have and they would be ready to make a fun for the Final Four.
Instead, they found themselves in Omaha. Who knows what happens next.

Former Village Trustee Tom Livingston is ready to hit the ground running as the next village president of La Grange.
Livingston, who previously served on the board from 2003-2011, is running unopposed in the April 9 municipal election. Despite a lack of opposition, Livingston is still engaging in retail politics, walking door-to-door and listening to the concerns of village residents. He recently earned the endorsement of the Citizens Council of La Grange, a residential activist group.
When he takes over for Elizabeth Asperger, the current village president, Livingston said the board of trustees will continue to build on the village's strengths, "in terms of public safety and fiscal stability."
"One of the hallmarks of village government is it's productive and stable … it's allowed for long range planning and thoughtful debate," he said.
In addition to public safety and finances, Livingston said the board will continue to address stormwater and sewer concerns around town.
"These are multi-year projects that we will continue to monitor and make affordable," Livingston said. "We've tried to comprehensively address infrastructure and the needs of the village."
Livingston said he also wants to continue to encourage new businesses to come to La Grange in empty areas such as the old Rich Port YMCA building.
"We continue to have discussions of what could be developed on that site and what that opportunity brings," he said. "I believe we have a lot of talent in this community … We can reach out beyond our borders and attract investments."
When he left the village board in 2011 Livingston said he thought he might return to that body one day, but wanted to focus on his family and career with CFX Railroad. Two years later, he is the sole candidate on the ballot for village president. Although he was quick to say after making up his mind about running again that he would have mounted a campaign if he had no opponents or 10 opponents.
"This is a wonderful way to serve your community," he said. "There are a lot of ways to serve, but this is the best way I believe I can serve. I believe in local government."
Livingston said he limited himself to two terms as a trustee and speculated he would not serve more than two terms as village president, if he were to win a second term.
With only weeks left before voters head to the polls, Livingston said he will be proactive in meeting with residents and community organizations. Livingston said he also plans to maintain a policy of being responsive to citizens' concerns and questions.
"It's an honor to be on the ballot in La Grange. It's not something I take lightly and I look forward to serving and working with the residents and business," he said.

Isilon flashes up NAS clusters
Metadata in SSD
Isilon, which makes scale-out NAS clusters up to 10PB in size, is turbo-charging them by adding NAND flash to speed metadata operations.
The company's S-Series and X-Series product lines will have STEC flash drives added to hold file metadata, with user data files stored on hard disk drives as before. This will enable Isilon to process data read and write operations faster. More specifically Isilon says the SSDs will speed up metadata-intensive namespace operations such as those found in server virtualisation, electronic design automation (EDA) and financial quantitative analysis, as well as traditional NAS applications such as home directories and replication.
There are three new products; the 5000S-SSD, 10000X-SSD and 32000X-SSD. Isilon says they deliver an 8X improvement in latency and, on the X-Series, twice the IOPS performance of its non-SSD products. The 10000X-SSD has two 100GB STEC SSDs alongside its ten 1TB SATA drives. Four are used in the 32000X-SSD with its 32 1TB SATA drives, but just one is used in the 5000S-SSD with its 11 450GB 15K SAS drives.
For the X-Series, the SATA drives and SSD are optimised for concurrent and sequential throughput workflows; on the S-Series the SAS and SSD drives are optimised for random read/write IOPS.
How does the flash-enabled Isilon kit compare to NetApp filers with the PAM (Performance Acceleration Module) added? Isilon marketing VP Sam Grocott said: "It's brute force. They're storing all data at the block level on SSD, a very expensive approach. We split the metadata from the file data. The bulk data goes on SATA or SAS [hard drives] and the metadata goes on SSD."
Asked to position the new Isilon product with Avere's DRAM, NV-RAM and SSD-enhanced FTX filer accelerators, Grocott said: "Avere is doing some really cool things, very intelligent caching. It's complementary to Isilon's scale-out NAS. Frankly it can run with us."
Isilon is pushing the cost advantages of using less-expensive hard drives for bulk data storage with the costly SSDs just used for the metadata storage. Grocott said: "Over time SSD economics will come down. Will Isilon do SSD cluster nodes? Absolutely."
Isilon reported a profitable last quarter for 2009, a watershed in the company's recovery from previous mis-steps. It has also won microprocessor designer ARM as a customer. ARM makes processor chips used in millions of mobile phones and mobile Internet devices and is deploying an Isilon IQ 10000X-SSD cluster to accelerate the replication of hundreds of millions of files.
It uses Isilon's asynchronous data replication software SyncIQ to send files to a secondary Isilon IQ 12000X cluster. With this set-up, ARM says it can identify and replicate changed files in six hours, compared to 45 hours with traditional NAS.
With Dell buying Exanet on Tuesday and IBM introducing SONAS on Thursday, the scale-out NAS cluster product area is getting businer by the day.
The IQ 5000S, 10000X-SSD and 32000X-SSD products are immediately available. List pricing is $59,000 per node for the 5000S-SSD, $65,000/node for the 10000X-SSD and $125,000/node for the 32000X-SSD. ®

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Lexington Police need your help finding a woman they say is stealing things from cars at parks.
Police say they've received multiple reports of thefts from cars at Masterson Station, Jacobson, and Coldstream parks.
Police released some surveillance pictures of the suspect taken from a bank. They say the woman has cashed multiple forged checks in Lexington and Louisville.
They've posted the pictures to the website idthisperson.com.
"The suspect basically entered vehicles to retreive the wallets from the victims," said Sgt. Eric Hobson with Lexington Police. "So far, we have at least $10,000 in forged checks negotiated here in Lexington and actually one check was attempted to be negotiated up in Louisville, however was denied."
If you have any information about the woman, you're asked to call Bluegrass Crimestoppers at 859-253-2020, your call can stay anonymous.

(MCT) — At one time, it made sense to encourage the growth of infant online companies by not requiring them to collect sales taxes.
That time has long since passed.
Internet sales last year in the U.S. totaled a whopping $226 billion, according to government estimates.
Internet-based companies have become brawny competitors to local stores. The fact that shoppers are not required to pay sales taxes at the same time they pay for online purchases means the online companies have a decided advantage.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., introduced the Marketplace Fairness Act last year. The bill is designed to level the sales tax playing field by requiring online businesses with more than $1 million in annual sales to step up to the plate, collect taxes on those sales, and remit those tax receipts to states where the shoppers live.
We believe online businesses have reached the point where they should shoulder the responsibility of collecting sales taxes, just as their brick-and-mortar counterparts have always done.
Durbin's bill passed the U.S. Senate last week, 69-27. Its fate is now up to the House.
Taxing bodies, including state government, could use the lost money. The state of Illinois estimated it loses about $153 million a year in uncollected sales taxes from online sales.
Online commerce is well past its infancy. It's a big boy now and should be treated as such.
We urge the House to pass the Marketplace Fairness Act and the president to sign it.
This editorial appeared in the Daily Gazette, Sterling, Ill.

Rafael Nadal secured the year-end world number one spot - and booked his place in the last four of the ATP World Tour Finals - with a straight sets victory over Stanislas Wawrinka at the O2 Arena in London.
The Spaniard was forced to work hard for his victory against the in-form Swiss star however, with a 7-6, 7-6 win taking over two hours in-front of a packed crowd in London.
It's a result that means Novak Djokovic can't overtake his rival at the top of the rankings, although the pair remain on a collision course for the final on Monday night.
Nadal has been in imperious form since returning from injury in February, claiming two Grand Slam titles, and is now in prime position to lift another title before the end of the year.
The 27-year-old has claimed consecutive straight sets victories in less than 24 hours, emphatically beating David Ferrer (6-3, 6-2) before a much tougher battler earlier today (Wednesday).
Nadal won a tight tie-break in the opening set, as Wawrinka boiled over following yet more disappointment against a player he's now lost to on 12 consecutive occasions.
A warning for racquet abuse didn't help matters, before a complaint was made against noise coming from Nadal's camp at the side of the camp.
No action was taken, Nadal secured the break and everything appeared to be going to plan. However, Wawrinka called upon his recent fine form to break back, and send the game to a second tie-break.
And, he had his chance when, at 6-5 up, his defensive return was seized upon by Nadal. The Spaniard didn't give his opponent another sniff, and is now in the final four ahead of his final Group A match against Tomas Berdych.
With the world number one spot already in the bag, the only thing that appears likely to stop Nadal from lifting the trophy this week is complacency.

Was he possibly also being jokey? Otherwise his status doesn't even make sense, since lots of celebrities do ask for fame and fortune.
Some people have no sense of humour, and it sounds like he's one.
Just got his response. "Don't be sarcastic that is unlike you. By the way, I am glad you and your DH are still together '' Congrats '' on my behalf. Oh,I saw you at Popular Restaurant today. Have a good evening."That's it. What do you think? Time to defriend him? lol.

This isn't the first time it's happened, but it's kind of bothering me. Mya has always been a little shy. I mean, she's fine around my family, my grandparents but when we have company, the problem starts. Mya has her way of greeting everyone, and its the same every time. When she meets someone new, she rolls over on her belly. For example today, She rolled over for a friend of ours, he rubbed her belly and she yelped! There can't be something wrong, i rub her belly everyday. This has happened several times. Then she'll be a little timid but still fine. She will lick their hand, etc. But is this just a phase? Is it cause she's shy? is there something wrong? Basic summary, she yelps when strangers rub her belly, and not with my family, and/or people she knows well.

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan - The last time the 25th Naval Construction Regiment had a mission even remotely approaching the scope of its task in Afghanistan, was during its last deployment, preparing for the D-Day invasion in Normandy, France.
So 65 years later, Navy Capt. Jeff Borowy recognizes the symbolism as he borrows words from Army Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to tell the Seabees he commands, "The eyes of the world are upon you."
The unit, decommissioned after World War II and re-commissioned just last year in Gulfport, Miss., is part of the massive buildup under way in Afghanistan to accommodate incoming U.S. forces. One testament to their efforts is Camp Leatherneck, a facility that is springing up in record time alongside the British Camp Bastion in Helmand province.
Camp Leatherneck — a reference to the high leather neck collars Marines once wore to protect themselves from sword blows -- will serve as the base for about 6,000 Marines, most of whom already have arrived.
Leatherneck is one of nine bases Borowy's team has been working on, alongside their other service counterparts, contract employees and Afghan workers as they expand existing outposts and build new ones in the sand.
"This place was desert at the end of January. I mean nothing," Borowy told reporters accompanying Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates last month as he visited Camp Leatherneck. "And now you have got a 443-acre secure facility with four miles of berm."
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Ryan Mason, a Seabee supporting the construction effort, gave a big thumbs-up to the facilities being assembled: Force Provider tents with latrines and shower facilities. "I've had worse conditions on field exercises," he said.
For now, Borowy said, the big challenge is "trying to get the job done in time for the warfighters coming in," particularly in light of the logistical challenges associated with getting equipment and supplies to the desolate plain.
Amid hundreds of tents that dot Camp Leatherneck rises a massive wooden building that will serve as its centerpiece. "Noah's Ark," as the 12,000-square-foot headquarters and operations center is affectionately called, consists of 129 trusses, each requiring 1,300 nails.
"We don't all come into theater with a box of nails in our back pocket, and even if we did, it would be gone in a day,' Borowy said. "So the logistics chain has been really challenging, but it is working."
Camp Leatherneck also will include a massive airfield able to accommodate up to 55 helicopters and other aircraft. Marine Corps Col. David Jones, who is leading that construction effort, called it the largest project of its scope to be conducted in a combat setting.
Jones' Marines are working from sunup to sundown to level and compact the ground before laying matting for the new runway. The metal alloy pieces lock together like a jigsaw puzzle, and will serve as a temporary surface until it is replaced with asphalt.
All told, the amount of matting being laid to accommodate the troop buildup boggles the mind. "When you consider all the matting we are putting in, you could go two football fields wide from the steps of the [U.S.] Capitol down to the Lincoln Memorial," Borowy said. "That's how much matting is going into this whole [area of operations]."
Despite the workload and the searing heat, Borowy said, he has no problem challenging his crews, and said he rarely hears complaining.
"They have to be dragged off the site," he said. "They just keep swinging their hammers when the crew leader says it's time to go."
The engineers and construction crews "know the importance of this," he said. "They are doing what they signed up to do, ... building things that the Marines and Airmen and Soldiers appreciate."

Skip to comments.Retired Los Alamos lab deputy director dead from gunshot
Posted on 01/24/2003 9:02:47 PM PST by Sweet_Sunflower29
A retired Los Alamos National Laboratory deputy director, Richard Burick, has died from what police say is an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police say Burick, 63, died Thursday in the parking lot of the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.
Los Alamos Police Chief Richard Melton says Burick had been suffering from prostate cancer.
Burick was deputy director for lab operations when he retired last year.
Melton says Burick co-wrote a book with Los Alamos Fire Chief Doug MacDonald about the Cerro Grande Fire, which burned nearly 43,000 acres in the Jemez Mountains in May 2000.
Melton says the book's proceeds were donated to the victims of the fire.
Maybe he was just upset that the lift lines were too long.
All the talk about "doctor assisted suicide" tends to distract people from the fact that most of the folks who are looking at an endless slide into terminal illness, failing health, failing finances, failing mental conditions, etc., are able to get the job done themselves without a doctor's help. After a long successful life, many people would rather choose a quick finish than whatever unpleasant end they've been dealt. Actor Brian Keith, for example, chose to shoot himself rather than letting his cancer play itself out.
A large fraction of the teen suicides are connected with terminal or chronic illnesses as well.
I think in the "old" days of journalism school, it was a required course on how to plant "evidence" in order to keep
the story going in the paper for a few more days or weeks.
So, if the story was some murder in an uptight community, a reporter would "drop" a matchbook from a gay bar near the
body. Or in a mostly black one, a KKK hood (with or w/o the initials "RB"). Hint of a sex and murder? Drop a bra. On the grave of the victim.
Like Admiral Boorda?

The British and Irish lions beat Australia 41-16 to win the series 2-1 and put 16 years of hurt behind them.
The Lions came out raring to go scoring within the first 90 seconds and going on to lead 19-3. However, a last minute first half try by James O'Connor brought the Wallabies to 10 and two penalty goals from Christian Lealiifano brought the score to 19-16.
The Lions soon put an end to the contest with tries from Jonny Sexton, George North and Jamie Roberts. Here we rate each Lion out of ten after arguably their finest and final performance of the tour.
1. Alex Corbisiero - 9
The young prop was brought in to steady the scrum and ended up obliterating his opposite number. Of the first four scrums the Lions won two penalties and a further two free kicks prompting head coach Warren Gatland to single out Corbisiero as his man of the match.
2. Richard Hibbard - 8
Looked as if he would run through a brick wall for the red shirt in the opening exchanges throwing himself into rucks and tackles, epitomised by his thunderous clash with George Smith. Furthermore Hibbard was accurate at the lineout allowing the Lions to dominate the set piece.
3. Adam Jones - 8
The Welsh prop has been the fulcrum of the Lions front row. Jones will have been the first name on Gatland's team sheet throughout with a brutal display in the scrum as well as helping around the park in the loose.
4. Alun Wyn Jones - 9
The captain led by example chasing down every kick and carrying the ball more than any other player. As well as this he made 12 tackles and provided most of the grunt work that usually goes unnoticed in test matches of this calibre.
5. Geoff Parling - 8
Often criticised for lacking physicality, Parling silenced his doubters. He had six carries and 12 tackles including a incredible tap tackle on Jesse Mogg who was breaking through the heart of the Lions defence. As well as this Parling led the lineout as he does week in week out for club and country.
6. Dan Lydiate - 8
The Welsh flanker didn't make as many tackles as last week, but kept Will Genia quiet for the most part which deserves enormous credit.
7. Sean O'Brien - 9
O'Brien was prepared to risk injury for the Lions making 15 tackles throughout and wanting to play on despite limping heavily. Completely ran the breakdown and filled the gap left by Warburton after his fine performance last week.
8. Toby Faletau - 8
Stepped up from the midweek team and performed to the highest level. Carried like a bulldozer and turned over one vital ball when the Wallabies were on the attack deep in Lion territory.
9. Mike Phillips - 7
Started the game well marshalling the forwards but seemed to tire towards the end. Once again the scrum half seemed to take the ball on himself to often and got caught in heavy traffic.
10. Jonny Sexton - 8
Had a quiet first half but came to life in the second. His exquisite kick over the top for North to chase eventually turned into him scoring in the corner. As well as this seemed to be a key leader within the squad despite his young age.
11. George North - 8
Once again lifted Isreal Folau off the ground and that show of physicality set the tone for the rest of the match. Was safe under the high ball and once again showed his finishing prowess scoring well in the corner.
12. Jamie Roberts - 7
Roberts was brought in to crash the ball up over the gainline, and did so admirably. The player of the series from last time out signed off with a brilliant try to see the game off but would have liked to have the ball more in the first half.
13. Jonathon Davies - 8
Had huge expectations to live up to after the decision to drop Brian O'Driscoll, Davies quickly wronged his doubters. Showed his physicality, not missing a single tackle, as well as his skill set with a delightful chip to the corner in the first half.
14. Tommy Bowe - 7
Bowe had another quite match by his standards. Tried hard to get involved but often the ball didn't make it wide enough, he will be dissapointed with his knock on early in the match but will be relieved to leave Australia as a winner.
15. Leigh Halfpenny - 10
Showed why he deserved to be player of the series and firmly put his name in the hat for IRB player of the year. Played a role in both Sexton's and North's try as well as kicking 21 points with his boot. Arguably the best XV in world rugby.
It is rare that there is not a single player rated under a seven, but the Lions came out roaring and delivered the best performance by a Lions side in recent history.

Pests of Honey Bees
Damaged combs showing silken galleries
Wax moth larvae damage or destroy the combs by chewing through the beeswax cells as they feed on cocoons, cast skins, and pollen. They spin silken galleries for protection from bees that will remove the wax moth larvae if they get the chance. Beeswax combs are often reduced to a mass of webs and debris. Wax moth larvae seldom attack new beeswax combs or foundation and they will not feed on blocks of pure beeswax or candles or such items made from beeswax.

SSC Napoli face struggling Genoa away in a bid to reclaim top spot in Italy's Serie A today, when AC Milan host UC Sampdoria in the hope of finally kickstarting their disastrous season.
Napoli, believed to be the biggest threat to champions Juventus, dropped two precious points in a surprising 1-1 draw at home against basement side US Sassuolo on Wednesday.
It came days after the league new boys were thrashed 7-0 at home by Inter and allowed AS Roma to stretch their lead at the top of the table to two points following their 2-0 away win at Sampdoria.
Despite claiming Napoli did not underestimate a determined Sassuolo side, coach Rafael Benitez was coy after the game.
"We have to learn from this match," the Spaniard said.
The slip means the Azzurri will head to Genoa — who by today's game will have met five of the top six teams from last season — extra determined to secure all three points.
Slovakian forward Marek Hamsik, who has scored four goals in five games, said: "It wasn't a satisfying result for us, but now we have to look ahead to Genoa and make amends."
Having just scraped into the top three at the end of last season, a raft of injuries and some poor displays have seen AC Milan drop to 12th.
Massimiliano Allegri's side are already 10 points behind Roma and are missing recently signed playmaker Kaka, who is sidelined with injury, as well as other key players including striker Mario Balotelli.
Serving a three-game ban for being sent off in last week's 2-1 home defeat to Napoli, Balotelli was conspicuous by his absence when Milan scraped a 3-3 draw away to Bologna on Wednesday.
Balotelli on Thursday apologized to his fellow players and the fans for his costly outburst.
"Firstly, I am sorry for my teammates," Balotelli said in excerpts of an interview which was to be published in yesterday's Gazzetta dello Sport. "They train and work hard with me. What I did hasn't helped our cause. I also feel guilty for the fans, who care so much for the team."
However, the former Manchester City striker suggested there was a limit to just how far his apologies would go.
"I made a mistake when I was provoked ... but I'm not going to apologize to everyone. It's not as if I killed someone," added Balotelli, whose absence has heaped the pressure on misfiring fellow striker Alessandro Matri.
Although Napoli can go top of the pile today, a draw at Genoa would boost Juventus' hopes of taking the lead for the first time this season when they face Torino away in the city derby.
Juventus were lucky to come away from AC Chievo Verona with a 2-1 win on Wednesday thanks to an own-goal by Alessandro Bernardini in the 65th minute.
However, by Juve's standards, it was a poor overall performance and 'keeper and captain Gianluigi Buffon — who was at fault prior to Chievo's early opener — says it is time to roll up the sleeves.
"We all could have played better, me included," the Italy international said.
Striker Carlos Tevez, who played only the last 15 minutes against Chievo, is expected to start, as well as midfield star Arturo Vidal, who was given a cameo role at the end of the midweek game.
It means Fernando Llorente, who scored on his debut last week, should return to the bench — a sign that Juve coach Antonio Conte may be preparing the Spanish striker for the Champions League clash against Galatasaray next week.
If both Napoli and Juventus slip up, it would pave the way for Inter, who are away to Cagliari, to go top, having moved up to second with a 2-1 win over ACF Fiorentina on Thursday.
Leaders Roma host Bologna in tomorrow's late game while Parma, who claimed their first win of the campaign in midweek, are away to Fiorentina.

text: Attalla Acquitted Former Senator Makes Political Comeback By The Associated Press • Aug 29, 2012 A former state senator acquitted in Alabama's gambling corruption trial has made an overwhelming political comeback. Former state Sen. Larry Means got elected mayor of Attalla on Tuesday night. He pulled in 69 percent of the vote in a four-way race. Means got defeated in his Senate re-election bid in 2010 after getting indicted in Alabama's gambling corruption case. He was accused of voting for pro-gambling legislation in return for campaign contributions. He was cleared of all charges in two trials in 2011 and 2012.

BARRINGTON HILLS – As the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District is finalizing its plans for independent operations, members are reaching out to those whose lives will be most affected – the district's residents.
The village of Barrington Hills' board of trustees and several members of the public heard a presentation from district officials Monday evening. The meeting was intended to be an open forum between the district and residents who wanted more information about the district's split from the village of Barrington's fire department beginning Jan. 1.
In September 2012, the district gave notice to the village of Barrington that it no longer wished to purchase emergency medical and fire services from it through its current intergovernmental agreement, set to expire Dec. 31.
Initiating public conversation Monday evening, fire district trustee Paul Heinze stressed that emergency response times will be a crucial piece of next year's operational plans.
"We need to get to you for every emergency in six minutes or less," Heinze said.
District Chief Jeff Swanson said that in an EMS situation, brain damage occurs in four to six minutes. Swanson added that it takes six to 10 minutes for a fire to spiral out of control before firefighters arrive on the scene.
Since the district serves a total of 46 square miles within the areas of North Barrington, Barrington Hills, South Barrington, Lake Barrington, Inverness, and portions of unincorporated Cook, Lake and McHenry counties, an automatic aid agreement with the Barrington Fire Department was one of the residents' most pressing concerns addressed during Monday's question-and-answer session.
Heinze said that, in short, there will be an automatic aid agreement with the Barrington Fire Department, but added that the scope of that agreement has not yet been defined.
Beginning in January 2014, Swanson said the district will have two full crews of firefighters/paramedics – 11 people minimum and 13 maximum – able to respond to four simultaneous EMS calls from its Barrington Hills and Lake Barrington fire stations, and additional part-time employees will be staffed in conjunction with Fox River Grove.
"Time, water and manpower are really the three ingredients of success," Heinze said.
All district firefighter/paramedics will be employed by Schiller Park-based Paramedic Services of Illinois, but report directly to Swanson at the district's Lake Barrington Headquarters/Fire Station 3. PSI has agreed to hire Barrington firefighters who wish to continue their careers within the area after they lose their jobs through the village in December.
District board President Tom Rowan said PSI will be hiring 17 of the 19 employees furrowed by the village.
Additionally, district trustees have been discussing a possible third station and crew. Barrington Hills president Martin McLaughlin asked what sort of taxes his residents can expect to see with these new services.
"Our projections for personnel cost will actually be less than what we were paying the village" through the intergovernmental agreement, Heinze said. "Plus, we won't be saddled with future pension costs since we are going through PSI."
Heinze said district trustees are paying close attention to costs to keep them down.
The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District is holding a special public board meeting at Station 3, 22222 North Pepper Road, Lake Barrington at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, to further discuss pending automatic aid agreements.
