First, let me say that Kerry-Ann is very eloquent and has a wonderful voice for the radio. I listened to her segment on accountability and goal setting. This couldn't have come at a more perfect time; I recently lost my job and felt as if I was accomplishing none of my goals. For the rest of the month, I have a series of goals now that I hold myself accountable to achieve as well as being someone's accountability partner as he makes his way through technical with a few hurdles in the way. I must say I haven't felt this refreshed in a while! This is a great podcast, and my friends think so too!

Saucony Shadow Original Saucony Shadow Original
PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson moved Miguel Montero down to eighth in the lineup, hoping it would give him a spark, playing a hunch that he might come up in a big situation. Mens Saucony Jazz Original Trainers . He was right on both counts. Hitting before the pitcher for the first time in two years, Montero hit a tiebreaking homer off the right foul pole in the eighth inning, helping the Diamondbacks beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Friday night for their fifth straight victory. "One of the things when youre hitting eighth is that you have to tell yourself you might come up in a situation where you can do something good, which he did," Gibson said. "It was huge for us." The Diamondbacks struggled most of the night against Phillies starter Tyler Cloyd, managing two hits off him in 6 2-3 innings. They came through when he went out, though, scoring on a run in the seventh when Martin Prado broke a 29 at-bat hitless streak with runners in scoring position, then taking the lead when Montero hit the first pitch thrown by Mike Adams (1-3) in the eighth that curled toward the foul pole in right and just caught it. Tony Sipp (2-1) got two outs in the eighth inning and David Hernandez worked out of a jam in the ninth for his first save, sending Arizona to its sixth win in seven games. "I knew the ball was gone, but you have so much bad luck that I was running around and was like, wow, I cant believe that ball is going to go foul," Montero said. "I was fortunate enough to hit the pole. It feels great to help the team because Ive been disappointed in myself not being able to the ball the way I wanted." The Phillies jumped on Kennedy early, starting with Rollins 44th career leadoff homer that tied him with Brady Anderson for fourth all-time. They scored another run in the first inning, but struggled the rest of the way against Kennedy and couldnt score against Hernandez with runners on second and third with one out in the ninth. Laynce Nix made the second out in the ninth with a soft infield pop-up and Hernandez ended the game by getting Rollins to ground out to first. "We broke through, but we made some mistakes," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "At the same time, we got four hits in that (first) inning but we didnt capitalize on better opportunity then we didnt add on during the game." Kennedy has laboured since beating St. Louis on Opening Day, allowing four or more runs three times during a six-game winless streak. The right-hander lost to San Diego after allowing four runs in seven innings in his last outing and got off to a rough start against the Phillies. Rollins hit the first pitch of the game out to right for his 44th career leadoff homer, matching Brady Anderson for fourth all-time. Domonic Brown followed a walk and another hit with a run-scoring single that put the Phillies up 2-0. Kennedy found a rhythm after that, allowing a single in the second inning and no other hits until Ben Revere led off the seventh with a single. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom half after allowing two runs on six hits with four strikeouts. "It was his best outing of the season, especially those last two innings," Gibson said. Cloyd was just as good. The right-hander pitched six games for the Phillies in 2012, going 2-2, and opened this season in the minors. He was called up to start against the Diamondbacks after Roy Halladay went out with a shoulder injury. Making his season debut in one of baseballs most hitter-friendly parks didnt seem to bother the 25-year-old. In the first inning, Eric Chavez lined a double to the right field corner off him and Paul Goldschmidt just beat John Mayberrys throw after running through -- almost literally -- third base coach Matt Williams stop sign. Cloyd had the Diamondbacks guessing after that, working around a pair of walks in the fourth inning with a double play and allowing no hits until Cody Ross hit a one-out flare single to left in the seventh. He was lifted after that, but didnt figure into the decision because Ross tagged up on Jason Kubels long flyball to get into scoring position and scored on Prados run-scoring single off Antonio Bastardo. Cloyd allowed two hits and struck out four, but is headed back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Right-hander Justin De Fratus will be called up to take his spot on the roster. "They told me no matter what happened tonight, they were going to end up sending me down," Cloyd said. "I have to go down there and keep going, keep myself in a position to come back up and help them out again." Notes: Rollins leadoff homer gave the Phillies 14 straight solo shots. ... Phillies RHP Roy Halladay, whos out with a shoulder injury, thanked Philadelphias fans for their support before Fridays game and apologized to the ones who were angry that he pitched while hurt. "I just want the fans to know Im thinking about them," he said. "I dont take that for granted. I dont take playing for Philadelphia for granted." ... Arizona right-hander Trevor Cahill, who will start against the Phillies on Saturday, has allowed four runs in 20 innings (1.80) his last three starts. ... Left-hander Cliff Lee will start for the Phillies after allowing two runs in eight innings against the Giants his last start. Saucony Grid 9000 Premium Sale .

Goodson made a brief appearance in court in Morristown on Wednesday. He and his attorney declined to comment afterward. Goodson and a friend were arrested last month after they were found in a car stopped on Interstate 80. The men were charged with marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and weapons offences. Saucony Shadow Original Charcoal Pink. Police say they found a .45-calibre semi-automatic handgun and a hollow-point bullet in the vehicle.

My husband and I were trading words of disappointment and disgust after Lance Armstrong's recent admission to doping when our sports-loving 9-year-old said: "What are you two talking about?"
I told him that a well-known bicyclist had taken performance enhancing drugs to win his races.
"Why would he do that?" asked Sam, prompting a very serious and important discussion about our personal decisions and their potential repercussions. Although these questions can put parents on the spot, they give us the chance to give children tools to deal with difficult situations.
"It's a great way to take a current topic and weave it into your own family value system," says Dr. Laura Saunders, a licensed psychologist at Hartford Hospital who was struck by the atmosphere of peer pressure that Armstrong created amongst his team members. "There are so many opportunities to talk about what it's like when a bully wants you to do something that you don't want to to. Is it OK to be different?"
While we encourage our sons and daughters to be confident and independent, we should also tackle the topic of cheating, often a temptation for a child.
"Sometimes they think about cheating because cheating is a way to make it look like you're doing your best, but cheating really makes you feel worse in the long run," says Saunders. "That's a moral lesson in so many areas, whether it's school, home or a board game, that moral lesson goes across the developmental lifespan."
Moms and dads can explain "roid rage" using age-appropriate language. "Steroids can make you very anxious; steroids can make you gain weight; steroids can make you act funny," says Dr. Kelly Johnson-Arbor, a medical toxicologist at Hartford Hospital. "An older child might think, 'Oh, I saw this on TV. This is going to make me run faster or do better in whatever sport I'm doing, so I'm going to take it'."
They also need to be educated about the dangers of swallowing a medication intended for someone else: "In normal doses, children may take steroids if they have croup or something like that, and that's fine. If it's prescribed for you, it's OK."
For many children and teens, a beloved athlete's fall from grace can be confusing or upsetting, but it can become a teachable moment.
"We're all human, we all make mistakes. It's important once you make some mistakes that you find a way to tell the truth and fix them," says Saunders, who believes our most profound growth comes after our missteps.
Perhaps Armstrong will prove to become a different sort of role model for our kids: no longer a sports hero, but instead a man committed to rebuilding his life by making amends and discovering the virtues of honor.

Summit Up 12-1-12: Where the apocalypse means no breakfast with Santa
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's thinking about how, on this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of a Montgomery, Ala., bus, defying the segregationist laws of the south. How, ignoring risk, one woman stood up against the injustice of an entire people, a solitary voice for what is noble and right in the world.
It's an odd thought in contrast to the things we find ourselves worrying about – like how to tell a good story about holiday revelers dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus racing down the streets of two different towns, or when the snow will fall so we can engage in that much-loved but illogical pursuit that draws so many people here, that infinite loop of ascents and descents that depends on water we don't have that people elsewhere in the world would be so fortunate to drink.
True, Millions of Summit Up Readers, we have heavy thoughts on the mind this morning – of a few local folks found deceased in their apartments, of those who don't have enough to eat this holiday season, and of the ongoing despair of Sandy's survivors.
Estamos pensando en lo dificil de trabajar y vivir aqui, donde tanta gente tiene tanto dinero pero los demas sufren.
How do you make a living and a difference at the same time, we wonder?
But these are dangerous thoughts, best reserved for a different day, when we are not head-deep in our somewhat-less-than-noble work, and certainly not when we have half a day off and can finally test out our new snowboard setup.
With the end of the world coming up on Dec. 21, 2012, there're a lot of things to fit in, and snowboarding is one of them. It's a pity, though, to think of all those breakfasts with Santa we stand to miss if the Mayan apocalypse really does hit. On the bright side, at least we wouldn't have to put out the spring magazine.
We out.

Q & A With Freshman Runner Bre Schofield
Related Links
Freshman runner Bre Schofield has stormed onto the cross country scene at UCSD in 2008, capturing two individual victories in her first three collegiate races to start the season. A native of nearby Carlsbad, Calif., Schofield won her first-ever NCAA cross country race on August 29, completing the 2.5 mile Triton Cross Country Course in a time of 15:17.4 – a full 22 seconds ahead of the second place runner. After finishing seventh overall against a field of mostly Division I schools at the Aztec Invitational September 13, Schofield broke the tape yet again last weekend at the CSUSB Coyote Invitational. The rookie separated herself from the pack again, finishing the 6k course with a time of 22:09, this time besting the competition by a 14-second margin. The Tritons have had an excellent start to the 2008 campaign as a group, sweeping team titles in two races already this season. With an off week on the schedule this week, the reigning back-to-back CCAA Female Runner of the Week took a moment to answer a few questions for UCSDtritons.com.
Q: Youąve had a phenomenal start to your freshman season running cross country at UCSD. What can you attribute your early success to?
SCHOFIELD: I owe all my early success to my teammates. I have been fortunate enough to join a great cross country team here at UCSD. The experience has been so much fun. When you like the team you're on, you really care about them and if you really care about them, then your willing to work hard for them. We have so much fun together, we have each other's backs, and we all work to our maximal potential so we all do well.
Additionally, much off my success has come from my coaches' accurate training plans. The team has a great coaching staff that is very familiar with each athlete individually. They are aware of the great things our bodies can accomplish and they push us to that potential, but they also know when we need a rest.
Q: Did you expect to win two out of your first three races or has that come as a surprise?
SCHOFIELD: The great thing about being in a new sport is that you never know what to expect in races. In general or from the past, there are no personal standards or expectations that I feel I should live up to. In the first three races of the year I have just tried my best given each course and condition. In doing that, it has been awesome, but also surprising to take home first place for my team twice already in my first year of cross country.
Q: The team is also off to a great start in 2008. What are your goals for the rest of the season both individually and as a group? What does the team need to do to achieve them?
SCHOFIELD: This season the goals on the girl's side are to be on the top end of the races at conference, regionals, and nationals. We're going to take it to the house and see what happens. Individually, I'm going to put all my energy into making these goals happen and to represent the Tritons as best I can.
Yes, we are off to a great start and to keep the positive momentum going, we all need to work hard and believe in the cause to fulfill our goals. I stand in the same position as my teammates. No matter how challenging, every long run, workout, and race, we need to battle any negative thoughts that pop up in our minds. We can do anything if we believe it; we rock!
Q: What has impressed you about head coach Nate Garcia and how the team has performed under his guidance?
SCHOFIELD: I am really impressed with how well Nate is in tune with everything. He is very accurate in how he thinks I will perform and as to what I need to do as a racer to accomplish my goals. It's pretty cool to have a coach that takes the time to research and study all aspects of the sport so the team will do well.
Under his direction the team has taken two wins; I'd say we performed pretty well!
Q: What do you usually do to prepare for a race?
SCHOFIELD: Before a race the team does what we call "Warm Up A" which entails a ten minute easy run, 20 minutes of stretching, and the an additional 13 minutes of running with a pick up in the last three minutes. After stretching we do three sets of three different kinds of drills. During this time I stay relaxed, focused, briefly think about what I'm going to do in the race, and give myself positive encouragement and comfort through different outlets I set my mind on.
Q: When youąre not running, what do you like to do in your spare time?
SCHOFIELD: What a typical college local likes to do in San Diego, surf, hang out with friends, and nap. Besides that, I like to do anything active outside, from playing sports to going shopping.
Q: You were one of San Diego Countyąs top female surfers in high school. Do you still have time to get in the water as often as a college student? Has surfing made you a better runner?
SCHOFIELD: There's always time in a day for a surf session, it just usually comes after XC practice. If I ever don't have time to get in the water, I'm not worried because it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
The different sports I have played in the past have built me into the runner I am today; surfing has definitely been a key component. It has taught me the control, consistency, and patience needed to be a successful runner.
Q: What is your favorite part of being a student-athlete at UCSD?
SCHOFIELD: I'd have to say my favorite part is being able to have a family outside home and being associated with so many students that share common interests with me. The support cross country gets from everyone attending UCSD is a plus. I also have to mention the education and coaching I receive.
Q: Who has been your greatest role model and why?
SCHOFIELD: Definitely Nastia Luken, one of the Olympic gymnasts at the 2008 games. Her focus, practice, and drive to achieve greatness amongst talented competitors shows in her performance. You can't fault a person with that kind of ambition.
Q: If you could spend the day with any three people, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
1. Cara Goucher, a personal favorite from the Olympic distance squad. Running with her and listening to advice from her would be so helpful.
2. Jackie Kennedy because she was such a smart, supportive, and beneficial woman. I think meeting her would help me become a better teammate and person.
3. Paul Walker... yeah I know a teen heart throb...just don't ask and don't tell.
Q: If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
SCHOFIELD: Competitive, determined, and considerate
Q: Who would play you in a movie about your life and why?
SCHOFIELD: Probably Reggie Rocket from my favorite cartoon I used to watch when I was younger. She's a little bit too much of a tomboy... but she surfs and is down to do things a lot of people wouldn't and I like that.

There was some fascinating stuff on the menu for the Queen as she visited an Aboriginal college.
On the ninth day of her Australian tour, the monarch watched a student at Clontarf College preparing a special dish of kangaroo stew during a cookery class.
He then presented the VIP visitor with a small container of "roo stew" to take away.
The unusual cooking exhibition came after the Wadumbah troupe performed an energetic traditional dance.
Accompanied by the premier of the State of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, the Queen looked on with intense interest as the didgeridoo music sounded.
Her tour has been a triumph, with observers commenting on how the indefatigable royal has relished long days, criss-crossing the vast realm to meet her subjects.
In Brisbane, alone 45,000 well-wishers waited on the banks of the city's river to watch their 85-year-old sovereign take a boat tour.

Collectors and potential collectors of modern and contemporary art should mark their calendars for a sale May 5.
That afternoon, approximately 400 original prints from the David Anderson Charitable Trust Collection will go on sale to the public, with proceeds to benefit 13 local community organizations.
The sale, which is being presented by art dealer Dean Brownrout, offers not only a windfall for the charities involved, but a rare opportunity for the public to acquire artworks whose value has been vouched for by experts.
The late David K. Anderson inherited the art acumen of his mother, internationally renowned art collector and Buffalo native Martha Jackson. Her influential Manhattan gallery, which he moved to Buffalo after her death, helped establish abstract expressionism as an international art movement in the 1950s.
"The market for the fine art prints was created in the late '50s," Brownrout said. "Anderson was a pioneer in that department."
Brownrout said he is honored to be handling the sale.
"I'd be hard-pressed to describe an event anything like this in the country," he said. "David Anderson's mother was one of the most important art dealers of the 20th century. This is part of the legacy."
The prints for sale all come from Anderson's private collection. None comes from the Anderson Gallery, which is located in Buffalo's University Heights District and is now part of the University at Buffalo, or from any public museum collection.
They are of a wide variety of styles.Some are as small as a loose-leaf sheet. Others are several feet wide.
Many prints are by artists whose work is displayed in renowned galleries. With prices ranging from $50 to several thousands of dollars, the art is relatively affordable.
"People will be able to purchase with confidence," Brownrout said. "These are museum-quality works, with an impeccable provenance."
Brownrout expects the sale, which will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. May 5 in the Center for the Arts on UB's North Campus in Amherst, to draw a crowd.
"We're trying to make this as accessible as possible, to demystify the process," he said. "I think by offering artworks that can be found in other collections, that can be found in artists' biographies, in museum catalogs – I think that a relatively new buyer can come in and be able to buy with confidence. And at the same time, because of the magnitude of this event, we're going to be looking at dealers and collectors from Toronto, New York City and Chicago."
The egalitarian nature of the event would have pleased Anderson, who was 74 when he died in 2009.
"He specifically designated that he wanted to get these on the walls of Western New York homes," Brownrout said. "Aside from benefiting the many organizations, he wanted to see these on the walls."
Artists represented in the sale include Karel Appel, Norman Bluhm, James Brooks, Christo, Jim Dine, Claire Falkenstein, Sam Francis, Michael Goldberg, David Hayes, John Hultberg, Paul Jenkins, Lester Johnson, Jules Olitski, Gio Pomodoro, Clayton Pond, Ludwig Sander, George Segal, Julian Stanczak, Antoni Tapies, Walasse Ting and Mark Tobey, among many others.
The 13 organizations benefiting from the proceeds are Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens, Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo Prep, Buffalo Zoo, Burchfield Penney Art Center, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Nichols School, Park School of Buffalo, SPCA, University at Buffalo Foundation to benefit the Anderson Gallery, and Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Admission to the sale is free.

The first of this season's three monthly mondo's was held between rounds one and two of the February monthly today. We had 27 discs in the air at one time from the 65 foot line after the call of "ready two…one…throw!" Each of the three rounds had one clear cut winner. Josh Egbert, Mike Tyberg and Adam Colt divvied up the goodies donated for the CTP. A choice of sweatshirts from Discraft plus a hat, a collared T and a regular T plus a star disc from Innova and a month pass from the shop were offered as prizes this month. In the Open division 10 time course champion Micah Dorius broke the course record for a single round in tournament play firing a -18 in the first round. He followed that up by shattering his own 2 round record by 5 strokes with a -34. The one round record is about the only tournament record here at Morley that Micah didn't own until now.

Dear Bay Weekly:
My Sunday reading routine always begins with The Washington Post Magazine. I go straight to Date Lab and wonder if anyone will find love this week. Or even just give their date a second chance?
Now I have a new reading routine. It's on Thursday, and it's Bay Weekly. I go straight to Diana Beechener's movie reviews and wonder if Diana has seen any movies this week that she likes.
She makes the reviews fun, and she's made me want to go to the movies again.
Thank you.

"Alison, I was deeply moved by the Thursday night call and am still trying to collect myself. It felt like the profound and lengthy gift you gave everyone was just for me. It was powerfully clear that your focused energy was coming from a true desire to help, heal, and liberate. I am still at a loss for words. My intent now is to listen as often as I feel guided and absorb as much as I possibly can."
"I'm happy for the work and the session notes, especially about the throat chakra. Yay !! Because my understanding is that something is shifting within. Indeed, this week I had a awareness of countless situations of my past where I did not feel safe to use my voice to express anything important to me. Not speaking (loud) was a way of hiding as well. I'm on my (high)way to freedom thanks to you. Thanks. Thanks. By the way I want to let you know that my kids told me that I was happy, laughing like never before. What else is possible?"

I never try to intentionally make my books more or less anything...what books get called or how they get reviewed or classified or sold in bookstores is entirely out of the author's hands and has more to do with the cover, the publicity pitch, the marketing team and the booksellers...I just try to write the best books I can.

Ooh la la! Joe Jonas, previously chaste member of the purity ring-wearing boy group The Jonas Brothers, has gone and Timberlaked — striking it out on his own as a singer and releasing a sexxxy, sex-filled new sex video. Or music video, whatever.
Observe (at bottom) as he cavorts around gay Paris with his lovely lady by his side. And then look as the middle Jonas (older brother Kevin is hitched, younger brother Nick is likely locked somewhere in John Travolta's basement) gets all freaky-like with the girl back at their sun-splashed flat. There's even a sorta naked scene! Joe says neither he nor the
beard model were actually naked, but pish! And the tub scene isn't even the sexiest; there's lots of leg groping and tumbling around in bed and oh my stars, what would Walt Disney say? ("Fuck on, children!" is my guess, actually.)
Anyway, this is all to say that it seems that lil' Joe J. has thrown his purity ring into the Seine because who the hell cares. The only way for an ex-boy bander white boy to make a go of a solo career is to sex and R&B it up, so here's Joe Jonas, taking a stab. And a stab. And another stab. Just in and out, in and out, 'til he arrives.

Latest News
Gulf oil spill leak now pegged at 95,000 barrels a day
WASHINGTON — The latest video footage of the leaking Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico show that oil is escaping at the rate of 95,000 barrels — 4 million gallons — a day, nearly 20 times greater than the 5,000 barrel a day estimate BP and government scientists have been citing for nearly three weeks, an engineering professor told a congressional hearing Wednesday.
The figure of 5,000 barrels a day or 210,000 gallons that BP and the federal government have been using for weeks is based on satellite observations of the surface. But NASA's best satellite-based instruments can't see deep into the waters of the Gulf, where much of the oil from the gusher 5,000 feet below the surface seems to be floating.
Federal officials testified in hearings on Tuesday that they were putting together a crack team to get to the bottom of big the spill really is. That effort comes a month after the April 20 explosion that triggered the unprecedented oil spill in deep waters of the United States. Experts say knowing that amount is crucial for efforts to cap the broken wellhead and to monitor and clean up the oil.
Steve Wereley, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, earlier this month made simple calculations from a video BP released on May 12 and came up with a flow of 70,000 barrels a day, NPR reported last week. Werely on Wednesday told a House Commerce and Energy Committee subcommittee that his calculations of two leaks that show up on videos BP released on Tuesday showed 70,000 barrels from one leak and 25,000 from the other.
He said the calculation could be off by 20 percent — meaning the spill could range from between 76,000 to 104,000 barrels a day. But Wereley said he would need to see videos that were not compressed and showed the flow over a longer period so that it would be possible to get a better calculation of the mix of oil and gas from the wellhead.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who chaired the hearing, promised to get that information from BP and make it possible for other scientists to use other methods to get a more accurate calculation of the size of the spill.
"The true extent of this spill remains a mystery," Markey said. He said the BP had said that the flow rate was not relevant to the cleanup effort. "This faulty logic that BP is using is raising concerns that they are h iding the full extent of the damage of this leak."

Will Casey Anthony — cleared by a jury of killing her daughter — appeal her conviction on charges she lied to deputies who were trying to find her child?
There certainly are grounds, said Florida attorneys who have followed the case.
Nancy McClintic, an Orlando defense attorney, pointed to the numerous in-court disputes between lawyers that ended up in private discussions with the judge.
"When you have that many sidebars, that means you have that many issues that are possible appellate issues," McClintic said.
Anthony's conviction on four counts of providing false information to deputies stems from lies she told when questioned about her daughter, Caylee Marie, who had been missing for more than a month.
She insisted the toddler was with a nanny who did not exist and lied about working at a job she never had.
Circuit Judge Belvin Perry Jr. let jurors hear those lies, even though Anthony had not been advised at the time that she had a right to remain silent or that she had a right to an attorney.
Courts have long held that a suspect's statements can be used against her at trial, even if she has not been read her rights, so long as she made them before she was arrested or taken into custody.
According to testimony, Anthony was not officially in custody, even though a deputy put her in handcuffs and later removed them.
"I don't think his ruling on the Miranda warnings was a surprise, but I think most observers thought it was a very close call," said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in South Florida now in private practice.
Defense attorneys also could ask for the conviction to be overturned because Perry let jurors hear a good deal of evidence that portrayed Anthony as a party girl who went out dancing while her daughter was missing and got a tattoo that says "Bella Vita."
The state was trying to show, said South Florida attorney Dan Lurvey, that her behavior was inconsistent with a mother who is covering up the accidental drowning of her child — a defense claim.
It was "more of a character assassination than evidence of commitment of a crime," he said.
Had Anthony been found guilty of killing her daughter, attorneys predicted a slew of challenges: on never-before-admitted scientific odor evidence; on the testimony of an FBI expert who said a single strand of hair found in Anthony's car trunk belonged to Caylee; and on the judge's decision not to end the trial once prosecutors had finished their case, said Bill Scheaffer, case analyst for WFTV-Channel 9.
In his 22 years on the bench, Perry has been reversed or overruled 34 times by the 5th District Court of Appeal or Florida Supreme Court, according to an appeals review by the Orlando Sentinel.

Lightning coach Cooper took winding road to dreamby Lonnie Herman
There are some people in the hockey world who think Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper came to his position from out of nowhere.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact Cooper, 45, has been almost everywhere chasing his hockey dream.
"Let me just think here," Cooper said as he tried to impose order on the last 14 years. "Texarkana. No wait -- it was Detroit, Texarkana, St. Louis, Green Bay, Norfolk, Syracuse."
That's not the plan for an offseason road trip. That's his coaching resume and it's sprinkled with initials that the average fan could never decipher. NAHL. USHL. Add in the Metro Jets, a Junior B team from Waterford Township, Mich., and Honeybaked, a midget-major team in Oak Park, Mich., and the whole long odyssey comes into focus.
It's no wonder he has trouble recalling them all; if you moved 10 times in 12 years you might get a bit confused too.
What's amazing is how Cooper has won at each stop and his teams have exceeded expectations. Almost every stop involved turning around a moribund program.
Still, he is the mystery man of the NHL coaching ranks. He never played the game beyond some junior hockey and is an unknown to most of the coaching fraternity.
But don't call him a rookie coach because he'll correct you promptly. He's been a coach for 12 years. He's just a rookie coach in the NHL.
When Ken Hitchcock brought the St. Louis Blues to the Tampa Bay Times Forum, the veteran coach told the media he had to review film so he would recognize the opposing coach.
Will the Mystery Guest sign in, please?
After attending Hofstra University on Long Island on a lacrosse scholarship, the Prince George, British Columbia native began his career in the real world working in the research department of a Wall Street firm and commuting on the Long Island Railroad to his home in Rockville Centre, N.Y.
"It was a different person," Cooper said. "If I look then to see where I am now, it's two opposite ends of the world. It took me some time to figure myself out."
He headed to Lansing, Mich., to attend the Cooley Law School at Michigan State University, but a career as a public defender wasn't working any magic on him either.
"The part of practicing law that didn't quite grab me was the fact that after a year or two years or four years, I'm sitting there doing the same thing," Cooper said. "For me personally, there was never a light at the end of the tunnel. And money was not a light at the end of the tunnel for me."
A confirmed hockey junkie, Cooper found his way inside a rink when a judge he knew asked him to take the reins of his son's high school hockey team.
"When he asked me to coach the team so many different things went through my mind," Cooper said. "Can I do this time-wise?"
He never had coached a hockey team before, though he did sit in the stands and watch the Michigan State team practice on many occasions and played on a men's league team of lawyers called the Legal Eagles, but a lack of technical knowledge was not a concern for Cooper.
"I don't think I ever had a question of whether I could do it, period," he said. "I was smart about this because I went and got Pat Murray, who is part of the Murray boy clan and had played a bit in the NHL. He was going to grad school at Michigan State at the time and I went right to him and asked, 'Hey, you want to jump on this little coaching thing with me?'"
It was little more than a lark, really, a favor to an influential acquaintance, to work with a bunch of kids who were going nowhere in the world of hockey but just enjoyed playing.
But in short order Cooper led the Lansing Central Catholic High School team to its first regional hockey title in 25 years.
Soon Cooper shuttered his law practice and took off to pursue his coaching dream. Along the trail he collected a slew of championship rings and trophies.
He led the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League to a historic 50-point turnaround in his first season and won the Clark Cup in 2009-10 as the league champion. That summer he had a new agreement with the Gamblers in his pocket and was looking forward to a long stay in a town he and his wife Jessie enjoyed.
And then Julian BriseBois called.
BriseBois had just been hired by the Tampa Bay Lightning as assistant general manager and his duties included supervising the Lightning's American Hockey League affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. The Admirals hadn't had a winning season in the past three and BriseBois set off on a search for a new coach.
"These are the three things that I thought we needed," BriseBois said. "We needed someone who had leadership and good communication skills, someone who was a teacher and someone who builds good relationships with his players over and above the traditional player-coach relationship."
Conspicuously absent from the list was any mention of technical skills.
"At a certain level you know enough about X's and O's, and if you're a good leader and you know that that is not your biggest strength, you can surround yourself with people who can complement you."
When a conversation with an agent led to a recital of the qualification list, BriseBois heard the agent say he knew the exact guy. Up until then BriseBois hadn't considered the USHL as a likely source for a new coach. He had looked at the three Canadian junior leagues, the NHL assistant coaching ranks and in the ECHL.
"I don't think that BriseBois even knew what the USHL was," Cooper said.
Once the Lightning brain trust reviewed Cooper's resume, they called him in for an interview.
"He was exactly who we were looking for," BriseBois said. "He had those special qualities and that's why he had success wherever he had been. He'd figure the rest out and he did."
It was a gutsy hire. No other coach had gone from the USHL to become an AHL coach.
As he had everywhere else he had been, Cooper turned the program at Norfolk around quickly and hoisted the Calder Cup in his second season.
Along the way he molded a young team into a unit that at one point put together a professional hockey-record 28 consecutive wins.
And now, with eight members of his AHL team joining him on the Lighting, he has the team off to a fast start this season, his first full season in Tampa Bay.
What is the secret of his success? What inspires the sincere loyalty and affection his players display toward him?
"He's been great," said defenseman Radko Gudas, who is in his fourth season playing for Cooper. "He is a player's coach. He knows what the guys want. He wants this team to be great on the ice but he also wants the team to be great off the ice."
Off the ice? He's talking about having fun in the NHL?
"He's a very approachable coach," Mark Barberio, another AHL alum, said. "I guess you can call him a player's coach. He walks that fine line between being respectful with the players and easy to talk to, but at the same time he has the guys' respect. Guys play really hard for him. He's a winner. He loves to win and it rubs off on the guys."
So it's not the technical aspects his players talk about, although Cooper does stress taking care of the defensive end of the ice first. Apparently his success is rooted in something else, something much less tangible.
"I think I'm a good communicator and a good motivator," Cooper said. "I have this ability to be able to make a bunch of moving parts all move in the right direction."
Whatever Cooper is selling, he has Rick Bowness, his assistant and a 22-year veteran of the NHL coaching wars, moving in lock-step.
"It's easy to work with him because he's such a great guy," Bowness said. "He's a sociable guy and a fun-loving guy. You come to the rink and you work together, but you have a little fun doing it. He enjoys that. From our first meeting there was good chemistry. We want to work, we want to have fun and we want to enjoy each other."
But above all, there is an incredibly strong sense his force of determination will prevail.
"I don't doubt myself," Cooper said. "That can be a hard thing to do in the sense that you have to get to the point in life where you have to believe in yourself, and for whatever reason, I'm going to do it my way. It's just that I'm confident in my abilities.
"I've never been one to have insecurity inside me. I jump in with my two feet and say, 'This is the way it's going to go.' I gather information and think it through, but once I make my decision that's it.
"To be honest, the only difference in the coach that coached that boys' high school team and the one coaching today is that I'm much more schooled at the game. Other than that I don't think there is an ounce that has changed in me. I treat Steven Stamkos the exact same way I would treat one of the kids on the team in high school."
Cooper's drive is to succeed is motivated by a desire not to have his family have to pack and move again for a while.
"To be afforded the ability to stay in a city for some time and allow our three kids to go to the same school and grow up with some friends, that would mean a lot to me," he said
But in the next minute, the hockey outsider is back.
"You know who I'd really like to meet?" Cooper said. "Wayne Gretzky. Now that I'm in the business we have a lot of mutual friends but I've never gotten to meet him, so one day I'd like to sit down and have a beer with Wayne Gretzky."

Cub Scouting is a year-round family-oriented part of the BSA program designed for boys who are in first through fifth grades.
Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting:
1. Character Development
2. Spiritual Growth
3. Good Citizenship
4. Sportsmanship and Fitness
5. Family Understanding
6. Respectful Relationships
7. Personal Achievement
8. Friendly Service
9. Fun and Adventure
10. Preparation for Boy Scouts
All the activities leaders plan and boys enjoy should relate to one or more of these purposes. These purposes help us achieve the overall aims of the BSA of character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.
Cub Scouting uses seven specific methods to achieve Scouting's aims of helping boys and young adults build character, train in the responsibilities of citizenship, and develop personal fitness. These methods are incorporated into all aspects of the program. Through these methods, Cub Scouting happens in the lives of boys and their families.
1. The Ideals
The Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Tiger Cub motto and Promise, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.
2. The Den
Boys like to belong to a group. The den is the place where boys learn new skills and develop interests in new things. They have fun in den meetings, during indoor and outdoor activities, and on field trips. As part of a small group of six to eight boys, they are able to learn sportsmanship and good citizenship. They learn how to get along with others. They learn how to do their best, not just for themselves but also for the den.
3. Advancement
Recognition is important to boys. The advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.
4. Family Involvement
Family involvement is an essential part of Cub Scouting. When we speak of parents or families, we are not referring to any particular family structure. Some boys live with two parents, some live with one parent, some have foster parents, and some live with other relatives or guardians. Whoever a boy calls his family is his family in Cub Scouting.
5. Activities
In Cub Scouting, boys participate in a wide variety of den and pack activities, such as games, projects, skits, stunts, songs, outdoor activities, and trips. Also, the Cub Scout Academics and Sports program and Cub Scouting's BSA Family program include activities that encourage personal achievement and family involvement.
6. Home and Neighborhood Centered
Cub Scouting meetings and activities happen in urban areas, in rural communities, in large cities, in small towns—wherever boys live.
7. The Uniform
The Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scout uniforms help build pride, loyalty, and self-respect. Wearing the uniform to all den and pack meetings and activities also encourages a neat appearance, a sense of belonging, and good behavior.

Can't get enough of Minecraft? Curious how to take your gaming skills to the next level? Minecraft Club is the place to be!
The nature and popularity of Minecraft encourages teamwork and real-time collaboration. In these sessions, young designers will work together to build a Minecraft city that demonstrates principles of urban sustainability, a crucial issue for the next generation. At present, 54% of the people on earth live in cities, but by 2050, that number will rise to 67%, meaning that we need to design cities thoughtfully.
Members of MODA's Minecraft Club will have an opportunity to attend 10 meetings at MODA in which they'll participate in the guided building of a green city. Attend all the meetings or just those that fit into your schedule!
Participating young designers will:
Learn about and build homes, civic, industrial and commercial structures
Learn about and discuss "green" concepts, sustainability in urban environments, transportation systems, and built alternative energy infrastructure
Develop vocabulary necessary to discuss urban environments, including design vocabulary ('scale', 'rhythm,' 'walkability,' 'density') and social vocabulary ('mobility,' 'sense of place,' 'community values,' 'housing equity' )
Refine their understanding of architecture and the built environment and its impact on individuals and communities
Learn to use Minecraft as a design tool for exploring and addressing real-world problems
Use the design thinking process as a means of addressing the challenges they face in this course
Refine the human interaction skills used in design thinking, including empathy, teamwork, brainstorming, prototyping, and testing and refining ideas
Improve their coding skills as they learn more refined ways to interact with Minecraft
This "green city" will be built on the MODA Minecraft server, meaning that participants will be able to continue to access their work and keep collaborating with one another and with others once the sessions end.

Big changes are coming from Saucony. Over the last few seasons, Saucony has introduced new shoe models or updates with a 4mm heel-toe drop (see: Kinvara, Kinvara 2, Mirage, Type A4, Fastwitch 5). The thinking is a 4mm heel-to-toe offset puts the foot in a more natural position and better enables a midfoot strike compared to the traditional 12mm differential. By providing shoes with a 4mm offset, Saucony has sufficiently answered the call for "natural running" footwear. Taking the movement one step further, Saucony introduced the zero drop Hattori in May 2011. This thin, level shoe provides essentially no cushioning, but protects the skin of the foot to allow for running on man-made surfaces.
While the 4mm and 0mm selection of Saucony shoes has provided solutions for some, many runners still seek a traditional feel or want to move toward a more natural platform, but find a 4mm offset to be too drastic a change. The Saucony solution, as evidenced by several updates for Spring 2012, is to provide runners with shoes built on a platform with an 8mm heel-toe offset. This platform will work for heel-strikers, and at the same time it won't interfere with a midfoot strike. Another debatable benefit is, as the midfoot-striking runner fatigues the foot-strike will move toward the heel, thus the platform will provide better function at the end of long runs.
Leading the way in the 8mm revolution is the Saucony Triumph 9, and the 8mm heel-toe drop is not the only change with this dramatic update. In addition to the 8mm platform differential, the Triumph 9 swaps out ProGrid cushioning in favor of PowerGrid with PowerFoam, which is being introduced in the new Saucony Cortana (July 2011). The advantages of the technology shift are reduced weight and a softer yet responsive feel. Furthermore, the Triumph 9 moves to an injected molded foam construction that further reduces weight and increase softness. While these changes may alienate some of the current Triumph loyalists, this is not the first time the Triumph has undergone radical changes. Saucony reinvented themselves with a very fresh and polarizing Triumph 4, that was lighter, softer and more colorful than previous models. The change resulted in a hugely popular shoe that changed the look of future Saucony shoes. Over the years, the Triumph has crept up in weight and firmness and thus has had hard time competing in the premium neutral-cushion category. With the Triumph 9, Saucony becomes relevant again.
The Saucony Triumph 9 has an MSRP of $130 and the weight specifications indicate 10.9 ounces for a men's size 9 and 9.6 ounces for a women's size 8, which is over an ounce lighter than the Triumph 8. However, and this has happened before with Saucony, the production weight will probably come in a tad lighter. The Triumph 9 has a projected release date of November 2011 and will be available online from Running Warehouse.

Eight young Jewish Montrealers were transported out of their comfort zones into the harsh reality of poverty and disease in rural Ethiopia last month.
The group, aged 18 to 25, spent their winter break volunteering on non-sectarian humanitarian projects of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), joining 12 Israeli peers from Be'er Sheva/Bnei Shimon in the Negev.
"As we drove to the hotel [from the airport] and gazed out the windows, we all realized that this experience was going to be like no other," said Tamar Medalssy.
"Poverty struck you in the face," added Cedric Kessous. "I… wondered how one could live like that… All I could think to myself was 'where the hell am I?' But from that, I began to understand real poverty."
All of the participants describe the trip as having been life-changing.
During the mission, they assisted in the construction of a new schoolhouse, distributed nutritional bars to pregnant women, and helped hand out de-worming medication to children. They also spent time leading sports and educational activities with kids, who were delighted with the school supplies, toys and colouring items they brought along.
"Looking back, my most memorable experiences were the first few days of our trip when we visited the JDC Israel Transit House in Addis [Ababa, the capital], as well as our days in Gondar when we spent time with students at a school built by the JDC, as well as the following day when we helped build another school," wrote David Toledano, on the blog participants kept on the website of Federation CJA, which organized the trip with the JDC and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
The Transit House is where the Falash Mora, Ethiopian Jews who have converted to Christianity or their descendants, are provided with basic care such as clothing and showers, while they await immigration to Israel.
"It was such a nice experience to be with them, interact with them (with Sedaka by my side to translate, of course), play and take pictures of them," wrote Toledano, an adult volunteer who accompanied the group. "Most of the Ethiopians have never seen a digital camera before so they were so excited and found it amusing to see themselves on the camera's screen."
In the villages, the visitors were besieged by children asking for handouts. Toledano was struck, however, by how happy they and the adults seemed despite how little they have.
Another revelation for Toledano was their patience – everyone waited in line calmly for their medication.
The visitors pitched in alongside Ethiopian workers in the job of bricklaying for the new school. The new building will be a vast improvement over the current one, made of wood beams and mud, with no desks or chairs, just the floor to sit on and stones to work on.
The young people were also delighted to meet JDC medical director Dr. Rick Hodes, who has devoted more than 20 years to the care of Ethiopians.
"Now that we are home… it is up to us to follow up our experience with significant efforts to fundraise and to educate our communities on what we have witnessed," said Toledano.
For Karine Arzoine, an unforgettable moment was attending a coffee ceremony in the village of Lalibela one starlit night around a campfire in the mountains. It was a welcome respite from the five days of working in Gondar and had a magical quality.
Arzoine left Ethiopia inspired by how hard women there must continue to struggle for their rights.
"This trip put a lot of things in perspective for me," she blogged. "I realize that the life we lead in Canada is not the same for the rest of the world.
"After the poverty and misery of the Ethiopians and having discussions with the Israelis [who were mostly about to enter the army], I realize that it is important to give back to others as much as we receive."

David Fierro: Jason Caron looks for another run at Connecticut Open title
There's certainly no shortage of golf trophies in the Caron household.
Liz Caron (formerly Janangelo) won the Connecticut Women's Open four straight years from 2003-2006 and captured the CSGA Women's Amateur Championship five times. Jason Caron claimed the Connecticut Open title in 2012 after spending several years on the PGA Tour.
Two weeks from now, Jason Caron will try to add another trophy to the family's Stamford residence. Caron, a PGA assistant teaching professional at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y., hopes to make another run at the Connecticut Open Championship when the event celebrates its 80th anniversary July 28-30 at Rolling Hills Country Club in Wilton.
"I've only played three events here at Rolling Hills and they have been awesome each time," Caron said at the CSGA's Media Day at the club two weeks ago. "They have done a great job with the setup each time I was here and the course played tough. I look forward to the challenge."
I saw Caron make a serious bid for a repeat when he shot a 6-under-par 210 (71-66-73) at last year's Connecticut Open at Torrington Country Club. He missed heading into a playoff with eventual champion Jeff Curl (Cedar Knob Golf Course), Ben Conroy (Country Club of Woodbridge), William Downes (Longmeadow, Mass.) and Eric Steger (TPC of River Highlands) by just one stroke.
Two years ago at Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, Caron carded a 2-under-par 214 over 54 holes to capture the Connecticut Open. He said he'll take the experience he gained from competing at the past two events into this year's Open.
"Wee Burn was a very championship style venue," Caron said. "You had to drive the ball straight, the rough was really deep and you had to be patient. I expect this venue (Rolling Hills) to be the same. I don't know if you'll see a lot of low scores. I think you'll see a couple of scores in the 60's, but I don't know if you will see every day rounds in the 60's from one player."
Caron is one of those players who prefers to not keep looking at the scoreboard during a tournament's final round. I remember him being quite surprised when he returned to the clubhouse after playing his final round at Wee Burn in 2012.
"I don't pay much attention to the board, I'm still kind of shocked that my score was good enough to win," Caron told me that championship day. "I knew I was really close, but when I came in and they said you won, I said, "no really?" That sounds good."
A competitor on the PGA Tour in 2002 and 2003 and the Nationwide/Web.com Tour (2004-2007), patience and consistency are two of Caron's strengths on the course.
"I'm not a guy that shoots super low," Caron said. "I've had a couple of tournaments where I've done that and I usually play better at most of the tougher courses. I know if I could stay patient I have a decent chance."
I witnessed Caron's consistency at the 2012 Connecticut Open, as his third and final round included 15 pars, two birdies and only one bogey. His peformance in the final round at Torrington a year ago, featured 13 pars and two birdies.
While at this year's Connecticut Open, Caron said he may seek some helpful hints from his wife Liz, a teaching professional at the Golf Club of Purchase, who was formerly an instructor at Rockrimmon Country Club in Stamford.
"If I had to guess, Liz will sneak up here," Caron said. "Liz is an amazing golfer, she's very talented and has been winning golf tournaments since she was a kid. I'll try to get a few things out of her. Now that we have a baby and Liz works at the club, golf is kind of third for her right now. She doesn't practice that much anymore and kind of wings it out there. But she is still right there in the tournaments she plays in every week."
Indeed, Liz Caron showcased her impressive skills at the Lincoln Women's Met Open Championship two weeks ago, shooting an even-par 142. She carded a sizzling 6-under-par 65 in the opening round.
"We've had a nice career playing the game of golf," Jason Caron said. "It's been good to me and my family."
Greenwich resident Reid Robbins, a rising Brunswick School sophomore, won the 13-15 year-old division at the Fairview Farm Junior Classic Golf Tournament last week.
The 15-year-old Robbins shot a 1-under-par 71 at Fairview Farm Golf Course in Harwinton.
Robbins finished first among the field of 51 competitors by posting 16 pars and one eagle at the event, coordinated by the Connecticut PGA Junior Golf Association.
Rahul Sriram of New Canaan tied for medalist honors at a qualifier for th 80th Connecticut Open, shooting a 4-under-par 67 at Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Kensington on Monday. Nathan Pereira of New Haven Country Club also carded a 4-under 67.
Evan Beirne (New Haven Country Club) shot a 3-under 68, while Andrew Gai (Longshore Golf Club) finished with a 69.
Michael Martin (Tashua Knolls) was among the 17 players that qualified for the Connecticut Open, carding a 2-over 73.
At the most recent Connecticut Open qualifier on Tuesday, Geoff Gelderman representing Tashua Knolls, was the medalist (2-under-par 68) at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in Bloomfield.
Patrick Hallisey (TPC River Highlands), Bobby Gage (Candlewood Valley Country Club) and Christ DeJohn (TPC River Highlands) each shot a 1-under-par 69 at the qualifier. TJ Trimboli of Shorehaven Golf Club was one of the 16 players qualifying for the Connecticut Open at Rolling Hills (July 28-30), shooting a 2-over 72.
Brothers David and Paul Pastore of Greenwich each qualified for the Open on June 26 at Mohegan Sun Country Club. Paul was the medalist at the qualifier (even-par 72). David, who has already won the Ike Stroke Play Championship and WGA Open this summer, shot a 2-over 74. Tony Frabizzio of Fairfield also shot a 74.
Norwalk native Jacob Henny (Oak Hills Golf Club) was the low qualifier for the Open at Hartford Golf Club on July 3, carding a 5-under 66. Cory Muller (Country Club of Darien) and Max Theodorakis (Ridgewood Country Club) each shot a 68, while Anthony Casalino (Innis Arden Golf Club) posted a 69 to qualify.

Magnum Showcase in association with IdeasTap
December 31, 2013
Corinna Kern is the latest photographer to win our Magnum Showcase competition, in association with IdeasTap.
Kern's work explores the concept of home within London's squatting scene. She says "What might commonly be perceived as a shelter for the homeless or poor is often a conscious choice – an alternative and communal way of living, especially desired by young generations. By becoming part of the squatting community, I embarked on a personal journey through which I discovered homes that extend far beyond a physical existence. From derelict warehouses to design studios, from garden centres to fabric storehouses, each place has gained its own vibe of the people and their lifestyle – and with them a sense of home."
Kern's work was chosen by Tim Paton, Magnum London's Advertising and Corporate Manager. He said of her work; "Corinna has photographed a subject that has been done many times before…London's Squatting Scene. But instead of making it look miserable there is a real sense of fun and creative energy about her pictures. She has connected really well with her subjects. I get the feeling that she really understands these people and their community.
Photographically these pictures are great. Corinna has a good sense of using daylight and not over thinking the composition. It all feels very natural which is hard to achieve.
It's great that all the images have the same look and feel and are also the same format. Its also interesting to note that each image works well as a single image. This is important in the commercial world as most advertising relies on getting the message over in a single image, the photographer very rarely has the luxury of telling a full story."

Hi Everyone,
I am facing some issues with GZIPInputStream. I am trying to connect a FileInputStream thru it, but some weird exception is coming my way... Posting the code below,
import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream; public class GZipTester { public static void main(String args[]) { try { String file = "C://Testing.tar.gz"; GZIPInputStream gzip = new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream(file)); System.out.println("Success..."); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
The tar.gz file exists at it's place, so no issue with that. When I try to run this, I get a big exception,
java.io.IOException: Not in GZIP format at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.readHeader(GZIPInputStream.java:131) at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.<init>(GZIPInputStream.java:58) at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.<init>(GZIPInputStream.java:68) at GZipTester.main(GZipTester.java:10)
Can someone please help me out in this? I have spent almost all my day digging into this issue. But no success.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks much,

Top of the world returns to Berlin's 'Mitte' for the FIVB smart Grand Slam
In between the central station, the chancellery and the Reichstag (the parliament building) a 4.000-seat arena has arisen. The $800.000 Berlin smart Grand Slam will also set up courts at Germany's largest beach volleyball club Beach Mitte, 15 minutes down the road. Tournament director Siegbert Brutschin counts on a fantastic atmosphere.
"We have the best beach volleyball players in the world coming here, in one of the most beautiful cities, and an amazing venue. This will be a world class event for both players and spectators", he said at Monday's press conference.
Special experience
Especially the German national players are looking forward to the event. "Our sport becomes more and more popular and has the attention of a lot of people", said Matisik, who won bronze at the World Championships with Jonathan Erdmann last year. "Playing beach volleyball in the heart of Berlin and near the government quarters will be a special experience for all of us athletes."
Last year's silver medallist Katrin Holtwick: "I wouldn't say no to first place this time. Supported by our home crowd we will try to deliver a similar performance. Holtwick and her partner Ilka Semmler lost the final last year to Brazil's Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima.
The Berlin smart Grand Slam starts with the women's qualification on Tuesday, with Brazil's Maria Antonelli and Juliana Felisberta de Silva leading the field. A total of 21 teams are competing for 8 spots in main draw. The men will take to the sand on Wednesday. Both finals will be played on Sunday.
Top of the world
Among the teams that travelled to Berlin are the European champions Madelein Meppelink and Marleen van Iersel (NED) and Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo (ITA) and the Moscow champions April Ross and Kerri Walsh (USA) and Konstantin Semenov and Viacheslav Krasilnikov (RUS).
Also competing in Berlin are world champions Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen (NED) and last year's gold medallists Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima (BRA) and Vitor Felipe and Evandro Goncalves (BRA).
Germany's top team Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst had to forfeit due to injury. Walkenhorst has an inflammation of the shoulder.
The FIVB World Tour is in Germany for the 15th time for men and the ninth time for a women's tournament. All of the FIVB World Tour events have been held in Berlin and this will be the third straight year Berlin has hosted an FIVB World Tour stop. Berlin also hosted the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in 2005.

Furthermore, you have to take into account another additional problem when you mount a remote directory through Samba. If the connection between the server and the client is cut off (this one is restarted, any kind of network problem turns up, etc.), Samba does not automatically reconnect it and the mount point will remain in an unstable state, with which any sort of existing synchronization would be lost.
In this way, it is very important to always mount remote directories by using automount.
Automount automatically mounts a filesystem when you use it, and unmounts it later when you are not working on it, based on a timeout. When the timeout (600 seconds by default) is used up, the filesystem is automatically dismounted. Thus, you can achieve a decrease in network traffic (there may be long periods of time that you are not accessing the filesystem) and avoid lack of synchronization. Also point out that automount is managed by the autofs daemon.
Then let's put forward our work infrastructure. It will be made up for three Linux servers (all of them running CentOS 6.2). The main server, centos01, will mount a filesystem from centos02 via NFS, and another one from centos03 via Samba.
First of all, we have to install autofs and create a directory which will be used to mount the file systems. Afterwards, we have to edit the auto.master file in order to define the mount point handled by autofs.
[root@centos01 ~]# yum install autofs
[root@centos01 ~]# mkdir /mnt/tmp
[root@centos01 ~]# cat /etc/auto.master
/mnt/tmp /etc/auto.centos -g,--timeout=300
The above line means that all available mount points for the tmp directory will be set inside the auto.centos file. With "-g" option, autofs shows the content of the directory without mounting it, that is to say, if you run for example "ls /mnt/tmp", you will see those directories which will be able to be mounted through automount. Otherwise, no directory will be output.
This last option is really useful if you want to serve a filesystem by means of Apache and import it via automount, since Apache will be able to list the content of the directory without previously mounting it.

WASHINGTON -- Air Force leaders will cut flying hours by nearly 20 percent and prepare for a possible end to all noncombat or noncritical flights from late July through September if Congress can't agree on a budget and billions of dollars in automatic cuts are triggered.
In an Air Force internal memo obtained by The Associated Press, Air Force Secretary Michael Donley laid out broad but grim steps the service will be taking in coming days and weeks to enforce a civilian hiring freeze, cancel air show appearances and flyovers, and slash base improvements and repairs by about 50 percent.
Beyond those immediate actions, Donley and Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said in the memo that the service will make plans to chop aircraft and depot maintenance by about 17 percent and initiate widespread civilian furloughs if there is no resolution to the budget issue by March. The cut in flights would reduce flying hours by more than 200,000, the memo said.
In a similar memo, the Navy said it faces a $4 billion shortfall in its operations and maintenance accounts and called for "stringent belt-tightening measures" if a new budget is not passed and the military has to operate with the same funding it got for the previous fiscal year.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, in the memo obtained by The Associated Press, said a number of actions must be considered to seek cost savings, including postponing the decommissioning of ships, if necessary. Other possible steps included a civilian hiring freeze, termination of temporary employees, cuts to base improvements or repairs and reductions in travel, information technology and administrative spending.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other military leaders have been predicting dire consequences if Congress fails to pass a new budget and automatic cuts take place. The Pentagon is facing a spending reduction of nearly $500 billion over a decade. An additional $110 billion in automatic spending cuts to military and domestic programs will take effect in early March if no agreement is reached.
In a briefing with Pentagon reporters, Donley said the Air Force is not targeting a particular amount in savings to achieve, but is taking steps to curtail spending where possible at this point without having an irreversible effect on the service and not impacting the nation's ability to wage war.
The Air Force accounts, Donley said, will bear about up to 20 percent of the Defense Department reductions
Asked about Panetta's directive to possibly cancel ship, aircraft and depot maintenance in the third and fourth quarters of this fiscal year if there is no budget solution, Donley said the Air Force will review each type of aircraft and its requirements.
"We're trying to take prudent actions now that are as reversible, recoverable as possible," Donley said. "We're trying to protect maintenance for aircraft and weapons systems sustainability as long as we can into the fiscal year."
Welsh said commanders will make decisions on how best to curtail flying and that the Air Force will try to protect training flights as long into the year as it can.
But, he noted, "if sequestration hits and the multibillion-dollars reductions fall on the last two quarters of the fiscal year, there is no way not to impact training, flying hours and maintenance, which are things, right now, we are trying to protect as long as we can."
Officials said that civilian pay is about 40 percent of the Air Force's operations and maintenance budget. Panetta has made it clear that if there is no budget agreement, the civilian workforce will face sweeping cuts and unpaid furloughs.
There are about 800,000 civilians across the Defense Department, and nearly 1.4 million in the active-duty military. The Air Force numbers about 330,000 active-duty servicemembers and about 143,000 fulltime civilians.

26" Model Delivers Reference Quality Images and Unmatched Versatility
|SECAUCUS, NJ (February 16, 2006) Building on the remarkable popularity of its 17" BT-LH1700W production monitor, Panasonic will unveil at NAB 2006 a 26" production quality LCD monitor, the BT-LH2600W, with unmatched versatility and reference video quality. Innovations that differentiate the versatile 26" display from others in its size category include a true widescreen panel, one-piece design, higher resolution, the industry's lowest delay, and standard HD-SDI/SDI with embedded audio.
Combining low weight, a small, space-saving footprint, and affordability, the BT-LH2600W will serve as the essential main monitor in production environments such as studios, edit rooms, newsrooms, NLE suites, and master control.
Incorporating the superb performance characteristics introduced in the 17" model, the BT-LH2600W features two auto switching SDI/HD-SDI inputs, a high-speed response with no blurring; the industry's lowest delay realized by an image processing circuit that converts interlaced into progressive signals with no visible delays; a Waveform Monitor that graphically displays luminance levels from zero to 108 IRE in any of the monitor's four corners; and a Split Screen/Freeze Frame function for scene comparison and critical color matching (live input vs. freeze frame).
Functionality new to the BT-LH2600W include increased resolution (1366x768), pixel mapping of any of five areas of the screen for superior camera focusing, audio level meters superimposed and translucent (up to eight channels), and an 80% (of 4:3) "safe-area" frame marker in 16:9 mode. Also, the 26" diagonal screen yields four 13" pictures when used with a quad splitter.
The monitor offers a 700:1 contrast ratio (panel's spec) and is compatible with multiple HD/SD formats including 1080/24PsF, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i. Closely matching the chromatic ranges of CRT monitors, the BT-LH2600W faithfully reproduces up to 16.7 million colors. With selectable Color Temperature, the monitor makes it easy to match the user's standard. Gamma is likewise adjustable and Cine Gamma (Film-Rec) compensation is included, expressly for monitoring with Panasonic's VariCam HD Cinema™ Camera.
The monitor's all-in-one design eliminates the need for an umbilical cord or separate AC power supply.
The model is equipped with intuitive, broadcast-grade controls, including a menu that can be positioned in five different screen locations; five user-defined buttons that can be set to Waveform Monitor, Blue Only, H, V, H/V Delay, Monochrome, Aspect, Gamma and more; and preset/manual picture adjustments with indicator lights. Frame marker lines (including 4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1), or background shading at 0%, 50% or 100% can be displayed.
In addition to its dual SDI inputs, the BT-LH2600W is equipped with one SDI output and component (Y/Pb/Pr), PC RGB, Y/C and composite inputs/outputs. It has a wide vertical and horizontal viewing angle of 176 degrees. Diagonal Line Compensation reduces the occurrence of jagged noise in the diagonal direction for improved SD response.
Other valuable features include GPI and RS-232C ports for external control of many functions; built-in, amplified stereo speakers; and a red/green/amber tally lamp. The BT-LH2600W comes complete with a desk stand, and an optional wall mount (TY-WK32LR1S) is available.
The BT-LH2600W will be available in June at a suggested list price of $4,950.

With no playoffs of their own, Nuggets root on Avs in Game 1
The Nuggets don't get a postseason this year, but that didn't keep a couple of them from staying at the Pepsi Center late on Thursday for the playoffs — the NHL playoffs, that is. Ty Lawson and Danilo Gallinari got front-row seats to the Avalanche's thrilling Game 1 victory against the Wild, becoming, for a night, one of the thousands of screaming hockey fans in Denver. And there's video and photo evidence:
