Germany have only their superior fitness and world-class goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to thank for scraping past Algeria 2-1 in extra time to move into the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals after doing almost everything wrong over 90 minutes.
Coach Joachim Loew will no doubt be skipping any post-game celebrations as he rushes back to the drawing board to reshuffle his team ahead of their match against France if they are to confirm their status as genuine title contenders.
His experiment of playing with two centerbacks as his fullbacks backfired and made his team slower against Algeria, who pressed high from the start.
Schalke 04's Benedikt Hoewedes and Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng are central defenders for their clubs and — unsurprisingly — did not have the pace to carve out chances from the wings.
Loew's other much-discussed experiment was launched back in March and consists of playing captain Philipp Lahm in a holding midfield position. This gamble may have worked in warmup games against Cameroon and Poland, but it was only after Lahm switched back to his traditional rightback role in the second half against Algeria that the Mannschaft could finally play their quick, flowing game.
"It doesn't matter at all to me how we won," defender Per Mertesacker said, summing up the evening. "The main thing is we won and we're in the final eight and that's what counts. What do you want from me? Do you think that this is a circus band? We fought to the end."
The lack of a clear striker in the starting lineup could have proved costly, with neither Mario Goetze, Mesut Ozil nor Thomas Mueller able to convert any of the chances they carved out in regulation time.
As Lowe's best forward, Miroslav Klose, languished on the bench, the SS Lazio player was no doubt asking himself why he was not on the pitch to add to his 15 World Cup goals.
Lowe can take comfort in France not being the squad that won the World Cup in 1998, nor the strong 2006 finalists, after Les Bleus came close to going home in their last-16 tie against Nigeria. Yet despite an unconvincing win, they should be Germany's toughest test so far.
It would come as no surprise if, among others, Ozil, who has never reclaimed the form for Germany that he showed at the 2010 World Cup, is left on the bench for the quarters clash.
One player that Loew should have no concerns about is Neuer, who delivered a stunning masterclass in modern goalkeeping, cleverly racing out of the box more times than anyone in recent memory and helping launch quick counterattacks against Algeria.
He repeatedly outsprinted and outsmarted speedy Sofiane Feghouli and Islam Slimani when his backline was struggling, providing much needed confidence at the back.
After the loss, M'Bolhi, whose man-of-the-match display repeatedly thwarted the European side in regulation time before Schuerrle and Ozil's extra-time goals, insisted that the loss was not down to his teammates' observance of Ramadan.
Most of the team are reported to be observing the Muslim holy month of fasting, which started on Saturday, and would have only been able to drink water late in the first half.
"No, I don't think [it was a factor], we were ready to play for as long as we need to, nobody believed we were able to put in a performance like that," M'Bolhi said. "It didn't come down to physicality, everyone was fit and ready to play, we just conceded two late goals.

Personal Injury
Personal Injury Attorneys
Let us help you with your personal injury claim. The types of personal injury claims we handle include, but are not limited to, Auto Accidents, Bicycle Accidents, Brain Injury, Car Accidents, Child Injury, Construction Site Injury, Defective Products, Drunk Driving Accidents, Elderly Abuse Claims, Medical Malpractice, Motorcycle Accidents, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Negligent Security Claims, Nursing Home Abuse Claims, Pedestrian Accidents, Premises Liability, Slip and Fall Accidents, Trip and Fall Accidents, Truck Accidents, Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) Claims, Wrongful Death Claims . . . and more.
The Personal Injury Attorney you choose, for prosecution or defense, is a big decision that should not be made by a random selection from the phone book. The attorney section of the phone book is thick enough, and the personal injury attorney section is probably the thickest portion. A lot of attorneys will say that they "practice" personal injury law. However, the most important factor may be what they mean by "practice." Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has handled hundreds, if not thousands, of personal injury cases since 1994 – from whiplash to brain injury to loss of limb to loss of life. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence, actions or inactions of another, or if you are in need of defense for same, please contact us today for a free, no-obligation evaluation and consultation. For those with a potential claim, we can usually accept these types of cases on a contingency fee basis – meaning that you pay nothing unless and until we recover money for you. NO RECOVERY = NO FEE.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents can be more complicated than they seem. There is far more to know and discover than simply who had the right-of-way. Litigating motor vehicle accident cases can involve knowledge of medical treatments and conditions, toxicology, physics, accident reconstruction and biomechanics. Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has prosecuted and defended motor vehicle accident cases involving these issues and many more.
Trucking Accidents
When a motor vehicle accident involves even one vehicle that is a truck, then it can become a special hybrid of litigation all on its own. Not every "auto accident" lawyer has the specific experience to handle a trucking accident claim. Trucks used for intrastate and interstate shipping and transportation are governed by a specific and separate set of rules and regulations that do not apply to the average passenger car. Trucks can be governed by a strict set of rules and standards under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. These regulations and requirements can lead to evidence that a lawyer not familiar with these regulations may miss. Seeking evidence is one thing; however, knowing what to specifically look for is another. If you seek consultation from other lawyers for a trucking accident claim, ask them to explain how the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations may affect the case. If they cannot tell you – run! Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has prosecuted and defended many cases specifically involving the trucking industry and its special set of rules and regulations.
Premises Liability
Premises Liability is simply the duty of a landowner to his or her guests. When someone is invited onto another's property, he or she does not expect to be injured due to the neglect of the landowner. These types of cases can range from slipping in water left on a floor all the way up to being injured by criminal activity. Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has prosecuted and defended premises liability cases ranging from slip and falls to negligent security causing injury and death.
Medical Malpractice
Health care professionals owe their patients a standard of care when rendering medical services and treatment. If a health care professional renders medical care that falls below that standard of care, resulting in injury or death, then medical malpractice has occurred. Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has prosecuted and defended multiple medical malpractice cases.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death is just that – when someone is killed due to the wrongful act of another. It does not matter if the death was intentional or accidental, as both are still wrong. Nearly any type of negligence can result in a wrongful death. Someone can be killed, wrongfully, due to a motor vehicle accident; or an injury on someone's property; or medical malpractice. However, a wrongful death claim also has its own special set of statutory rules as set forth in Florida's Wrongful Death Act. Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has prosecuted and defended multiple wrongful death claims.

July 26, 2017 - Round Lake Police Department Warns Residents of Possible IRS and Police Phone Scam
The Round Lake Police Department would like
to inform our residents about a consumer scam that has been around for a long
time and is becoming even more common. When receiving odd telephone calls
, consumers should be ever vigilant and always question why. Businesses
and law enforcement agencies won't mind and actually appreciate when consumer's
question the legitimacy of correspondence or bills. So for your own
protection consumers should scrutinize anything that is asking for or offering
Several complaints the police department has
received from residents were claiming that law enforcement personnel (calling
from familiar nearby area codes) have contacted them under the ruse of
collecting money for outstanding bills, tickets, IRS debts, bail bonds for
arrested loved ones or loans. In some instances, the suspect has even
represented themselves as a Police Department or as an IRS
In these cases the scammer uses a law
enforcement angle to attempt to add legitimacy and urgency to the hoax by
threatening arrest or prosecution. These scams always ask for money to be
wired via Western Union, MoneyGram, or Greendot "MoneyPaks", or that you
purcahe gifts cards at Walmart or Target and give them the gift card numbers in
order for one to avoid prosecution. Often times they use the actual names
of government or law enforcement personnel to enhance the credibility of the
Scammers are increasingly using "Magic Jack"
or VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Magic Jack and VOIP are simply
making phone calls thru a computer network. With this technology it is
easy to make phone calls or conduct scams that appear to be local but are
not. In these cases, the scammer can obtain a local area code (or any area
code) yet they are physically located overseas. Since the money is almost
always transferred overseas, law enforcement officials are unable to
investigate the crime and the wire service is unable to reimburse the funds.
Law enforcement agencies will not attempt to
collect fines or outstanding debt from citizens. Furthermore, the IRS does not
initiate contact with taxpayers via phone calls or email. Anytime that someone
you don't personally know asks for any type of wire or money transfer, there is
a 99% chance IT IS A SCAM.
There are many scams ongoing today, whether
it is an IRS demand for money, a police department asking for bail money, or
someone claiming that you have won money but you need to send them money first
to get your riches, PLEASE BEWARE and CALL YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Citizens should also be reminded to never
give out their personal information in response to an unsolicited phone call or
email. For additional information, please visit:

June 7, 2017 - Round Lake Police Department Launches New Sex Offender Public Notification Website
Chief Michael Gillette and the Round Lake Police Department launched a new sex offender registration and public notification website called OffenderWatch®. Round Lake Police Department will now be part of a nationwide network of over 5,000 law enforcement agencies. The new service is a citizen-friendly, easy to use website that enables citizens to search for potentially dangerous sex offenders and predators, which may be in close proximity to their homes, places of work, schools, churches and day care centers. The information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is updated in real time by the Round Lake Police Department. As part of this new, innovative service, citizens may enter any address of interest to them, and see a map and listing of all offenders within a user defined radius of that address. Citizens can then register the address to be continuously monitored by the Round Lake Police Department, who will send to them an email alerting them if an offender or predator should register an address within their specified radius of their address. Citizens may confidentially register as many addresses as they like, at no cost to them. Round Lake Police Department and its implementation of OffenderWatch® will help make the village safer and provide the highest level of security to all Round Lake citizens.
Citizens can access the OffenderWatch® registry at the Round Lake Police Department sex offender search page at: http://www.communitynotification.com/cap_main.php?office=56434 or by accessing a link on the Village of Round Lake website: http://www.eroundlake.com
March 2, 2017 - Round Lake Police Department to Participate In National 'Pink Patch Project
The Round Lake Police Department is proud to announce that they will be among the first law enforcement agencies in Illinois to join "The Pink Patch Project", an innovative public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations and care givers in combating the devastating disease.
The Pink Patch Project (PPP) is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association and public safety agencies across the nation, including Carpentersville and Palos Park Police Departments in Illinois. The purposes of the initiative is to both raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection and treatment in addition to raising funds for cancer research, treatment, and education through the sale of commemorative pink patches.
There are nearly 100 agencies participating in the PPP. In 2016, participating Pink Patch agencies raised an estimated $320,000, all of which will be donated to various foundations that support breast cancer research, awareness, or support.
The Pink Patch Project centers on a vibrant pink version of our police uniform patch. All of our police officers may wear these pink patches on their regular police uniforms to stimulate conversation with the community and to encourage discussion with the public about the importance of early detection and treatment in the ongoing fight against the disease.
The Round Lake Police Department is in the process of partnering with a Lake County Breast Cancer Support Foundation in an effort to establish a partner in the Pink Patch Project by the end of March. In the meantime, the Round Lake Police Department will be selling the pink patches for $10/each and $1.00 shipping and handling if mailing is required.
More information regarding the Pink Patch Project or sales of the pink patches is available at: https://www.facebook.com/RoundLakePolice or by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sept. 14, 2008
Head coach Jerry Smith, on the game: "I think that North Carolina is a talented team and played very well against us today. I thought that there were some good moments in today's game, but clearly we are disappointed with the number of goals that went in past us."
Smith, on starting Lindsey Wicher: "Lindsey Johnson is still hurting from the injury she suffered at Notre Dame, we played her in the game, but we wanted to start Lindsey (Wicher) in today's game and I thought that she did okay."
Smith, on the offensive attack: "I think we created a few good chances in the game today. The difference was the quality of finishing. North Carolina had more dangerous chances and did a great job of finishing them, while we did not finish our dangerous chances when we had them.
Smith, on opening up the home schedule Friday: "We just need to get back to work, watch the game film and see where we can improve. After seven games away from home, we are looking forward to playing in our newly remodeled stadium."

Farm Income, Ordinary Gains, and Other Income for a Decedent, Estate, or Trust
When filing Form 1040 or Form 1041, you need to determine if the taxpayer (whether trust, estate or decedent) has earned any farm income, and calculate any gains and losses on the sale of business assets. Use Schedule F to report farm income/losses. Account for property depreciation when calculating ordinary gains and losses. Don't forget to report "other income" that doesn't fall under any of the categories on the returns.
Farm income or loss
If the decedent owned a farm, you'll need to report any farm income or loss. Use Schedule F to determine what to report on line 6 of Form 1041 or line 18 of Form 1040. Form 1041 doesn't have a separate Schedule F, so after you figure out how to prepare one, just transfer those skills from the decedent's Form 1040 to the estate or trust's Form 1041.
Ordinary gains, losses, and depreciation
The sale of any business property the decedent may have owned (from real estate owned as part of a business to any other property that had a business use), should be reported on Form 4797, Sale of Business Property.
Use Part I to report sales of property held long term by the taxpayer and Part II for short-term sales. Property acquired due to the decedent's death constitutes an inheritance. It uses the date-of-death value for its acquisition cost and date of death for its acquisition date, and qualifies as a long-term holding, regardless of when the sale occurs.
Form 4797 needs a property description, acquisition and sale dates, and the taxpayer's cost of acquisition. In addition to this information, if the property depreciated over time (where the property's value is recovered over its useful economic life), you add the total amount of depreciation to the sale price in order to calculate the gain or loss.
Look at the decedent's prior years' income tax return to see what property he or she was depreciating. If there's no sole proprietorship (Schedule C), rental property (Schedule E), or farm (Schedule F), there's no depreciable property. If any of those schedules are attached to a prior return, consult a tax expert for assistance to determine how much, if any, of the depreciation taken must be recaptured.
Carry short-term gains or losses from line 17 of Form 4797 to Form 1041, line 7. If you're filing the decedent's Form 1040, follow the instructions for line 18a and b. Some losses may end up on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Gains and other losses not reported on Schedule A end up on Form 1040, line 14.
Long-term gains or losses take a detour through Schedule D (1041, line 10 or 1040, line 11) so that you can factor these long-term sales into your tax calculations.
On Form 4797, you also report casualty losses (losses from a theft, or a disaster), and gains or losses from installment sales (where proceeds from the sale are received over a period of years) and/or like-kind exchanges (where you exchange one piece of property for another, similar piece). Consult a professional when reporting these transactions.
Reporting other income
Report any income that doesn't seem to fit in any of the other categories on line 8 of Form 1041 or Form 1041, line 21. Popular "other income" items on Form 1040 include fees and honoraria and jury duty pay. On Form 1041, the most common item will be taxable state income tax refunds. If the trust or estate is a party to a lawsuit, place any taxable awards received here.

The score was locked at 1-1 and the match looked to be headed towards extra time before a certain Ravi Rana decided to take matters into his own hands, or rather feet. Sensing an opening, he sent down a thunderous effort from 30 yards that rifled into the top corner – ensuring that India clinched the match and as a result, their first-ever SAFF U18 title as well in the process.
"There was a lot of emotion involved in the final. We were disappointed after drawing against Bangladesh and were determined to make things right in the final. I saw the angle was open for the shot and I'm glad the ball sailed in. It was a really special moment for me and I'm glad I could contribute to the victory," the youngster said while recalling his heroics from September this year.
Born in Jammu, a young Ravi followed his brothers and developed a love for the beautiful game at a very young age. He recalled, "I have three elder brothers and I started playing football seeing them. We used to play on the roof our house all the time and when I turned nine, I joined a local club named Shaheen."
He moved to Jamshedpur in 2016 to pursue his footballing dream and just a year later, he broke into the junior national team set-up and made an explosive debut in Indian colours in the SAFF U15 Championship, scoring a hattrick in a 9-0 win against the Maldives.
Rana was also a vital part of the side that reached the quarterfinals of the AFC U16 Championships last year - starting in all four matches for coach Bibiano Fernandes' team.

Your analysis of your local problem should give you a better understanding of the factors contributing to it. Once you have analyzed your local problem and established a baseline for measuring effectiveness, you should consider possible responses to address the problem.
The following response strategies provide a foundation of ideas for addressing your particular motel-disorder problem. These strategies are drawn from a variety of research studies and police reports. Several of these strategies may apply to your community's problem. It is critical that you tailor responses to local circumstances, and that you can justify each response based on reliable analysis. In most cases, an effective strategy will involve implementing several different responses. Law enforcement responses alone are seldom effective in reducing or solving the problem. Do not limit yourself to considering what police can do: give careful consideration to who else in your community shares responsibility for the problem and can help police better respond to it.
Taking elected officials and local business leaders on tours of problem motels can be an effective way of alerting them to specific issues.
At least 35 percent of Chula Vista motel managers indicated they had experienced the following problems in the prior month: theft, guest's refusal to leave, loud party, suspected drug dealing, and vandalism/graffiti (Bichler, Christie, and McCord 2003). Improved management practices can reduce the likelihood such problems will occur.
Motel managers in Sandy City, Utah, were convinced that it was in their interest to prevent drug dealers from setting up methamphetamine labs in their motel rooms when informed that the cost of cleaning up and rebuilding a motel room after a drug lab explosion could be as high as $25,000 (Thompson 1999).
The city of Tukwila, Washington, requires motels to implement specific responses based on their yearly CFS/room ratios. All motels fall in one of three tiers established by the city: (1) less than or equal to 0.25 CFS/room/year; (2) 0.26 CFS/room/year to 1.0 CFS/room/year; and (3) more than 1.0 CFS/room/year. Motels and hotels in the tier with the fewest service calls do not have to make any changes. Motels in the middle tier must have a staff member on the property 24 hours a day, maintain a surveillance camera in the lobby at all times, and participate in a crime prevention assessment. Motels in the highest service-call tier must implement the middle-tier requirements, as well as submit employee names to the police department for background checks, train employees in proper management practices, install cameras in parking lots, implement crime-prevention-through- environmental-design recommendations, and make a number of other changes. Since being passed in the summer of 2000, police there report the initiative has reduced service calls by approximately 60 percent at motels with annual CFS/room ratios of more than 1.0.
All agree that deadbolts, peepholes, door chains, solid doors and frames, and room telephones constitute basic security measures that all motels should have in place. As far as liability goes, the absence of these measures is considered evidence of unsafe lodging. Motels with established crime problems have also been expected to employ adequate numbers of security guards, install closed-circuit television (CCTV) in problem areas, and secure sliding-glass doors with bars (Slepian 2002).
In some communities, a ratio of 0.5 may be excessive, however, compared to other motels in the area.
Performance standards are not intended to discourage motel staff or others from calling the police in an emergency. Police should conduct a quick door-to-door tenant survey if they suspect a manager is training tenants not to call them. Motel managers facing a performance standard may argue that it is their right to call the police, and they should not be penalized for being proactive. However, if a motel chooses to cater to a high-risk clientele and has a high number of calls for service, the management should completely control access to the property. The management may also need to hire adequate security, both to handle repeat nuisance calls that should not require a police response, and to prevent more-serious incidents from occurring. If a motel cannot afford access-control measures and private security (if necessary), it should stop catering to a high-risk clientele.
Like guests, visitors should be directed to the front desk by the security staff or the property design (e.g., fencing that prohibits unimpeded motel access, walkways that lead directly to the front office).
Desk clerks at motels with high CFS/room ratios should also collect the following from registered guests:
Clerks should complete the guests' registration cards according to information verbally provided by the guests, then ensure the photo IDs contain the same information. Clerks should also visually verify and record guests' and visitors' license plate numbers, and issue corresponding parking permits that limit stays.22 Staff should record all guest and visitor information on a government-approved registration form readily accessible to police and other city officials who need to review occupancy levels, such as finance department personnel.

Prostitutes are often well-known to motel clerks, gang members may have gang-related tattoos, and drug dealers may have previously raised suspicion by making numerous brief phone calls from their rooms during prior motel stays. Based on a review of motel arrests, Sandy City officers developed a profile of people buying and selling drugs at the properties. The typical arrestee used methamphetamine, was between the ages of 18 and 35, provided a local address, and paid in cash at low-priced motels or used a fraudulent credit card at moderately priced motels. The arrestees also generally checked into motels in pairs and without luggage, and made and received numerous local phone calls (Thompson 1999).
Approximately 20 states do not require vehicles to display a front license plate.

The two most frequent problems experienced by Chula Vista motel managers were (1) too many people in a room (65 percent of managers reported experiencing this problem in the previous month), and (2) unauthorized guests/visitors in rooms (57 percent of managers) (Bichler, Christie, and McCord 2003). Controlling direct access to rooms can substantially reduce both problems.
A foot-candle is a unit of measurement of light per square foot of surface space. Inexpensive light meters can be used to determine the lighting level at a specific location.
For more information on CPTED principles, see the International CPTED Association's website, at www.cpted.net/default.html.
It is important to inform and work with problem-motel owners as well as managers, because managers may not have the authority to make changes that could result in a loss of rental revenue (Clarke and Bichler-Robinson 1998).
In a number of states and municipalities, properties where drug dealing or other nuisance behavior, such as prostitution (laws vary), occurs can be closed or otherwise ordered to cease operation.
An evaluation of a San Diego effort to reduce drug dealing by contacting property owners found that those who both received a letter from the police about the illegal activity and participated in a follow-up meeting experienced a 60 percent reduction in reported crime (Eck 1998).
Problem motels may more frequently require information on arrests, crimes, and service calls. As part of an intensive effort to reduce problems at a Fresno, California, property, an officer personally contacted the owner and manager each time police made an arrest or executed a search warrant at the property ( Fresno 1998 [Full text ]).
Some courts have held that the burden is on motel management to assess the need for security measures, based on the foreseeability of crime problems at the property. Aspects of foreseeability include the nature and volume of previous crimes at the property, the crime rate of the surrounding neighborhood, guests who commit crime(s), a property design that facilitates crime, the number of calls about suspicious people, and a high visitor-to-guest ratio (Slepian 2002).
In justifying its 30-day stay limit at motels, Buena Park, California, indicated that the lack of ongoing maintenance and maid service at long-stay motels rapidly creates substandard conditions in most, if not all, of the rooms.
For further information about effective rental-property management, see Campbell (2000) [Full text ].
An evaluation of effective drug abatement efforts found that problem-tenant eviction enabled a large majority of properties to essentially eliminate drug problems and avoid abatement (Davis and Lurigio 1998)
Because many independent motels were built more than 50 years ago and owners tend to limit investment in the properties, a number will exhibit moderate to severe code violations. Credit: Adele Sidock
In California, the Franchise Tax Board can eliminate tax deductions if a property does not comply with housing codes.
The CSUSB study of Chula Vista motels found that only 19 percent of motels that were not family-owned conducted criminal records checks on motel employees.
For a copy of the Stockton ordinance, see www.stocktongov.com/SMC/Chapter07/Ch07_PartIV_Div02.cfm.
Sugarland, Texas, has defined adult motels as those that (1) offer public accommodations with CCTV, films, videos, slides, or photos characterized by an emphasis on specified sexual activities; (2) and post a sign visible from the street advertising such material; (3) or offer a sleeping room for rent for less than 10 hours; (4) or allow a tenant or occupant of a sleeping room to sub-rent the room for less than 10 hours.
A performance bond guarantees that the terms of an agreement will be met or the injured party will be financially compensated.
This call reduction was achieved with virtually no police enforcement action. Just one search warrant was served, and several arrests made.
To prove that the motel was violating the penal code, National City officers paid an hourly rate for rooms and then brought known street prostitutes to the motel, making it clear that they were doing so to have sex in exchange for money. Violation of the penal code provisions enabled officers to obtain a search warrant for the property, which revealed separate bookkeeping practices and tax violations (National City Police Department 2002 [Full text ]).
In 1999, the University of California, Berkeley, estimated it would cost the city of Oakland approximately $18,000 in legal and administrative costs to close a motel under the state drug nuisance-abatement statute, but only an estimated $1,300 to close the motel if it constituted a public nuisance under the same statute (Amato et al. 1999).
Amortization is a means of terminating a nonconforming use by allowing investors to recoup their investment over a reasonable period, which may range from a few months to several years.
Eminent domain is the government's ability to take possession of private property for the public good, usually by providing fair compensation to the owner.
An imminent hazard is a structure that is at risk of causing immediate or impending harm to the occupants or their property.
In weak real-estate markets, for example, a property that is closed or acquired through abatement may have significant tear-down or conversion costs that could inhibit future property development.
In Mesa, Arizona, where the CFHM concept was developed and implemented in 1997, the majority of motels did not participate in the CFHM program as of July 2001.

It's been a bad week in the Beastie Boys' corner of the universe.
A day before founding member Adam Yauch's death, the band was hit with a lawsuit over the use of samples on two of their best-regarded albums, Paul's Boutique and Licensed to Ill.
The suit, filed by the label Tuf America, alleges that the two albums illegally sample the band Trouble Funk's 1982 songs "Drop the Bomb" and "Say What." Both the Beasties and Capitol Records were named in the suit, some of which is available on All Hip-Hop for your viewing displeasure.
So what are the offending Beastie songs? The suit name checks Licensed to Ill's "Hold It Now Hit It" and "The New Style" and Paul's Boutique's "Car Thief" for cribbing from "Drop the Bomb," as well as that album's "Shadrach" for stealing elements from "Say What."
Tuf America wants the matter to go to trial, but in the meantime, let's give the songs in question a listen to see (slash hear) what all the hubbub's about:

The Minnesota Wild Need Martin Havlat to Improve
In the 2008-2009 season, Martin Havlat notched 77 points with the Chicago Blackhawks. After Marian Gaborik left via free agency after that season, the Wild signed Havlat to a 6 year deal worth $30 million to try to replace the void Gaborik left. In his first season with the Minnesota Wild, Havlat scored 18 goals and 36 assists for 54 points. If the Minnesota Wild want to get back into the playoffs and become an elite team in the NHL, they will need Havlat to contribute more than his 54 point campaign. Can he breakout this season? Can he match his 77 point season with Chicago? We will see.

I'll sleep when I'm dead!
It was nice hanging out with my mom and dad, they helped me out big time. My mom was the dishwasher/grandma and my dad was the chauffeur/grampy, they leave tomorrow morning on an 8 hour flight across the country. I won't see them again for another 6 months:( xo
The crafters market was super fun, and with the help from my daughter Ocean, it made our very first market something special. (selling out, was pretty awesome too!) I couldn't of done it without her!
I had a little time to browse around the market. I took a picture of my cool finds, the beautiful pottery bowl is my friends work...check it out www.annepryde.ca.
wanderlust .The little plant sign says "sunlight tastes like mmm", I couldn't resist. and the flower pin, well it just rocks. The Russian doll is a lavender sachet, that I got from louloubell , a gift for my mom, a little something something for all the help.

|Lake Lucerne
Visiting Lucerne was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Alf and I had been through Lucerne to go to the top of Pilatus last summer but we hadn't seen anything of the old town. Back at the end of October when a friend came to visit from Glasgow, I decided to brave going on the train with Baby Suisse and the pram to go and spend a day there. Baby Suisse is quite a chilled baby and usually content to be out and about so I wasn't overly anxious about the journey and being away for the day.
And what a great decision this was! It had snowed a few days before hand but we enjoyed the most magnificent blue skies. The view of the white-capped mountains from Lucerne was rather spectacular!
We picked up a map from the Tourism Office and decided to do the recommended walk in order to see most of the important sights in the old town in as short a time as possible (I didn't want to push my luck with Baby Suisse's patience...). As soon as we left the station, we hit the world-famous Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke):
Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, and was originally built in 1333 as part of Lucerne's fortifications. The Kapellbrücke includes a Wasserturm (water tower) which was used as a prison, torture chamber, and later a municipal archive.
From the bridge, we could also spot the impressive Jesuit church:
Lucerne's old city centre makes for a very pleasant stroll and is full of nice shops (shops aren't so pram-friendly so we didn't manage to indulge in some shopping...probably best that way!). Everywhere you look, you can spot lovely painted facades, water fountains and charming old buildings:
After a spot of lunch (which included Chügelipastete, a Lucerne's speciality), we set off to gaze at the Lion Monument:
This giant lion hewn in the rock commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution. 10m long and 6m high, it is a truly impressive and solemn sight.
Although we couldn't go on the walls because of the pram, we walked alongside the old city fortifications (Musegg Wall) dating from the late 14th century.
The view from the top of the hill were worth the struggle of pushing a pram up a snowy road!
On our way back to the railway station, we walked past Lucerne's second famous bridge, the Mill bridge (Spreuerbrücke). Dating from the beginning of the 15th century, it zigzags across the Reuss river.
After a quick look around in a fabric shop, we decided to head back to the station to start the 90 minutes journey back home.

When the sun is shining, the Labrador coast is really beautiful, full of islands, rocks and snow or tree-covered hills. Here we are sailing into a cove to anchor to wait out a coming gale.
Monthly Archives: July 2010
Cartwright Ferry
Cartwright, Labrador, Canada
One of the Cartwright ferries. Cartwright used to be at the end of the road (which went to a ferry that went to the island of Newfoundland), and from here, one needed to take a ferry to Goose Bay to get to the rest of Canada. Recently, a new road was opened between Cartwright and Goose Bay. We have been sitting out a gale in Cartwright. A noticeable thing in this pleasant town of 600 is that the phrase "Beautiful Day" is used like "Hello". The weather doesn't seem to have any effect on whether or not one should say "hello" or "beautiful day". Yesterday, in the driving wind and rain of the gale, walking past a person on the muddy road, our conversation went: "Beautiful Day?" "Beautiful Day"
The Repair
Cartwright, Labrador, Canada
We asked around about lifting equipment in Cartwright. People here are quite helpful, and, being a long way from cities, were used to making do with what is available. There were no cranes in the area, but the town council owned a small excavator. We had a look at the excavator, and it looked capable of lifting the mast, but, before we found the operator, Yann said he could do the repair with just hydraulic jacks. I borrowed a couple of screw jacks from the local service station and we tied the bottom of the mast to several winches to control its movement. Then, as seen in the picture, Yann raised the mast with the jack and cut the bottom 5cm off. The mast was then lowered into its step, and I started work on replacing the broken shrouds and checkstays and tightening/shortening the other wires.
The Damage
Cartwright, Labrador, Canada
The picture shows the bottom of the mainmast, where the aluminum has been bent when the mast moved out of the mast step. The mast has three pairs of shrouds holding it in place against side-to-side motion, the lowers, the intermediates and the uppers. The lower shroud, made of wire, broke. The intermediate and upper shrouds, were made of a synthetic rope rigging material called Dynex Dux that I'd installed in Argentina and Uruguay. Almost immediately after the lower shroud broke (we only heard one bang), the mast bent under the pressure of the sails and the checkstay, which was made of another synthetic rope called Spectra, bent the bolt it attached to the mast with and broke. The pressure of the sails also came on the intermediate and upper shrouds, however, they stretched, and did not break. The stretching of the intermediate and upper shrouds, meant that the lower shroud, which was wire, and, to a lesser extent, the Spectra checkstay, took more of the load of the sails and broke. The mast is stepped on deck. I had not unstepped the masts before, so did not know that the mast step is only a 1cm high aluminum plate that fits the bottom of the mast tightly. That small a surface for the step works fine, as long as the mast is held tightly in place by the shrouds and stays. The shroud breaking and the other shrouds stretching allowed the mast to move more than the step could handle, so the mast moved out of the step and got bent while moving.
Labrador Sea, Canada
On a pleasant day in the Labrador Sea, we were sailing along in a fresh, following breeze, about 40 miles offshore. The sudden noise sounded like a gunshot. It took a few seconds to realize that two of the wires/ropes holding the mainmast up had snapped. The mainmast was wobbling, and very close to crashing down. We got the mainsail and the main staysail down. Yann climbed the mast and tied the remains of the checkstay in place around the lower spreaders and we tightened it with a winch to stop the mast from wiggling. With a SE wind, we were able to change course and sail northwest along the coast using sails on the foremast alone. We set course for Cartwright, a major town of 600 people, about 65 miles away. As night fell, we sailed more slowly, for much of the night under storm jib alone, just poking along at 2.5 knots–a slow enough speed that if we ran into any ice in the darkness and fog, it would not damage the boat. The fog lifted with the dawn, the wind died, and we motored into Cartwright harbor and tied up at the dock.

Wetsuit Test
While approaching an anchorage in Labrador, a rope went over the side and got caught underneath the boat. The next morning, I dug up my wetsuit and went in to free the rope and scrub the keel–a job I'd been wanting to do for a while but hadn't gotten around to yet. In the picture, Ted has just passed me down the regulator, and I'm putting it on. The boat has a diving compressor (narghile), which pumps air down a hose to the regulator. This is the first time I tried using the system, and it takes a while to get used to breathing thru the regulator. A heated swimming pool would be an easier place to learn to breathe thru a regulator than a Labrador harbor with icebergs outside, but nothing is perfect :). I used several big shackles as diving weights and was in the water about half an hour (the wetsuit is thicker than most), getting one side of the keel scrubbed. The other side of the keel will wait until next time.
We sailed by a lot of icebergs, whales and dolphins along the coast of Labrador.
Abandoned buildings at Hill Harbor, Labrador. This is a very small harbor nestled in the rocky coast–easy to enter with GPS and clear, calm weather. I don't know the history of this particular place at all, and haven't gone ashore yet. I suspect it was one of the many places that were abandoned after seal hunting (for fur) was ended and the numbers of cod fish collapsed. No road, transportation only by boat or across the ice when it freezes over.
Yann Back Onboard
Yann, who built Issuma in France and sailed her 48,000 miles before selling her to me, joined the the boat in St John's for the summer. Picture was taken along the Labrador coast.

The Perfect Gift For People Who Love Sailing!
We have created a beautiful and unique J/Sailing Calendar for J/Boat owners and sailors who love the joys of sailing a J in some of the most spectacular harbors and waters of the world. Whether you are a cruising, racing or armchair sailor, these stunning sailboat photographs will transport you to wonderful sailing experiences in far away places.
Whether you are a cruising, racing or armchair sailor, these stunning sailboat photographs will transport you to wonderful sailing experiences in far away places. Enjoy the color and excitement of J sailing with these gorgeous photos. The J/Sailing Calendar features photos of flying J/70s and J/80s, J/111s starting off the famous Chicago waterfront, a serene sail off the Spanish Cantabrian coast, J/120s dueling upwind off Alcatraz Island at Rolex Big Boat Series and tranquil shots off the world's most beautiful harbors and coasts on J/22s, J/24s, J/109s and more.
The size of the J/Sailing Calendar is perfect for home, school or office, not too wide and unwieldy and not too small so that it doesn't work as a wall calendar. The 18.5" high (open) and 13.25" wide format provides you lots of room to write your appointments and schedules. More importantly, the "matte" finish makes it easy-to-write on with pencil, pen or marker and each day can accommodate lots of information. The beautiful photos are all "gloss varnished", so they simply "pop" off the page-- gorgeous enough to frame afterwards to grace any wall for years of enjoyment.
For those who love the sailing lifestyle, it's the perfect gift for friends and family.
Cost: $15.00 USD Each
To order the J/Sailing Calendar 2014 for your home, office or as a gift, please go to this link

Next three years of my work will be partly related with European IST 7th Framework Project IntelLEO. IntelLEO is an acronym for extended intelligent learning organization model – a hybrid knowledge-management model between two institutions.
I will be responsible of the Pedagogical tasks of IntelLEO.
In IntelLEO three business cases will be tested:
– Collaborative learning and knowledge-building strategy within large industrial enterprise (Volkswagen – Strak – the Computer Aided Styling of automobiles) and university
– Harmonising organisational objectives with learning and knowledge-buiding activities between business network (INI d.o.o.), university and customers
– Harmonisation of individual & organisational objectives within in-service teachers and university
In one of the conference talks i have already presented the model:
The objective of the project is to explore how the responsiveness of the learning and knowledge-building environments in an IntelLEO can be radically enhanced by advanced technology, exploiting, in an innovative way, a synergy between:
(a) services for efficient management of collaborative learning and knowledge-building activities and access to and supply of shared content, and
(b) services for harmonisation of individual and organisational objectives.
Three hypotheses of the research are:
The responsiveness of an IntelLEO is corporate performance in which individuals are motivated to proactively learn and construct knowledge.
This responsiveness can be increased:
– if individuals are technologically supported to participate in collaborative learning and knowledge-building activities across vertical and horizontal boundaries of the IntelLEO, and
– if their personal objectives of learning and creativity are dynamically harmonized with the organisational learning and knowledge-building objectives of different IntelLEO counterparts.
2. The effectiveness of the technological support that will be developed in the project to increase the responsiveness of an IntelLEO is achieved by the synergy of the two kinds of services mentioned above ((a) and (b)).
3. Learning and harmonisation of individual and organisational objectives happen at different temporal collaborative knowledge-building and learning groups of an IntelLEO.
Partners in IntelLEO project:
Institut fuer angewandte Systemtechnik Bremen GmbH
Volkswagen AG, Strak
Tallinn University, Centre of Educational Technology
Estonian Teachers' Association
Zentrum fuer Soziale Innovation, Austria
ATOS Origin
University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organisational Sciences
INI d.o.o.
Athabasca University – School of Computing and Information SystemsAU CA
The launch of the project takes place in Bremen this week.

Michael Douglas was initially confused when he was told that he was being honored with a career achievement honor by the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards.
The star of such films as "Wall Street" and "Fatal Attraction" told the crowd at Monday's glitzy ceremony that his assistant mistakenly informed him that he was receiving an award for his work in adult films.
"I remember all my films," joked Douglas after receiving a standing ovation. "I don't remember any adult films."
The newspaper drama "Spotlight" was selected as best picture at the 15th annual ceremony presented by the advocacy group AARP to stars over the age of 50 and the films that speak to that demographic.
"I think when we set out to make this movie, we weren't thinking about whether it was for kids or for grownups," said "Spotlight" filmmaker Tom McCarthy. "Collectively, we understood that it was a story we had to tell. It was that important. We hoped it would reach everybody who needed to hear it."
Mark Rylance was chosen as best supporting actor for "Bridge of Spies," while Bryan Cranston won the best actor trophy for "Trumbo."
"I'm delighted to be here tonight — and not just because my AARP card gives me a deep discount on the parking," said Cranston.
Lily Tomlin was honored as best actress for "Grandma," while Diane Ladd was awarded the best supporting actress for "Joy." In her acceptance speech, Ladd took issue with the competitive race for supporting actress at this year's Academy Awards, which she is not among.
"I'm a little ticked off that the studios with greed put stars in films in the best supporting Oscar category," said Ladd. "That's not right. Rooney Mara won the best actress category at Cannes (for "Carol"). Why is she in my supporting category?"
At the beginning of night, show host Kathy Griffin joked that #OscarsSoYoung should be trending on Twitter and that she felt comfortable mocking youngsters at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel ceremony.
"As a comic, there's only so many groups I can make fun of anymore because everyone is so sensitive, but in this room, I can really talk (expletive) about millennials," said Griffin.
Other winners Monday included "The Intern" as best comedy, "Love & Mercy" as best time capsule, "The Last Man on the Moon" as best documentary, "Learning to Drive" as best buddy picture, "5 Flights Up" as best grownup love story, "Rams" as best foreign film, "Inside Out" for best movie for grownups who refuse to grow up and "Creed" as best intergenerational film.
"I'm one of those weird millennials," said "Creed" director Ryan Coogler during his acceptance speech, which he joking left Sylvester Stallone out of in a nod to the "Rocky" star not thanking him at the Golden Globes.
Other attendees at Monday's star-studded ceremony included Morgan Freeman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bette Midler, Patricia Clarkson, June Squibb, Phylicia Rashad, Elizabeth Banks, Mark Ruffalo and Dick Van Dyke.
"I expected to see a lot of old people here," joked Van Dyke. "I'm 90. I'm probably like the oldest person in this room!"

Chain and Gemstone Necklace: Creating a Personalized Gift
Creating a Personalized Gift
One of the best things about being able to design jewelry is to be able to create a personalized, unique gift especially for a specific person. When a good friend of mine adopted her second child from China, I created a pair of earrings for her that combined mahogany obsidian from Colorado and jade from China to symbolize her new family. She loved the simple earrings and so did I–it was probably one of the best gifts I've ever given.
I was reminded of that experience recently when I received a necklace design from Jennifer Judd. Her chain and gemstone necklace was beautiful, but I'll admit it was the story behind it that got me hooked.
Jennifer's Story
"I happen to be an Air Force Officer for my 'real job' when I'm not sitting at my beading table, so I spend a lot of time with other military folks. One of my friends, who is currently dating an Army Officer, approached me about getting her a unique gift before her upcoming six month assignment in Baghdad. She is partly Cherokee Indian and relies heavily on her spiritual beliefs and the meaning of gemstones.
Since I'm not an expert on gemstones, I spent a little time researching gemstones and colors that symbolized protection and bravery. After much reading, I focused on a combination of orange and green: Canadian jade, ocean jasper, cherry agate, and carnelian. I added red seed beads as accents to each beaded section because the color red symbolizes success and triumph. It's also a typical component of Native American beadwork. To keep the necklace lighter, I divided it into seven sections of beads (seven is a powerful Cherokee number) connected with seven links of silver chain. To help the necklace drape properly, I added a simple pendant of coordinating stones in the center section.
Because she won't be able to wear the necklace while in uniform, I also made single-stone pendants that she can string on her dog tag chain that she'll have on all the time. It's not exactly regulation, but will give her some comfort and remind her of the man who gave them to her."

I've been using Mac for years, but sometimes there are apps that everybody else swears by that I've never used. One of those apps is Yojimbo, which has a long history on the platform and is something many popular bloggers completely swear by.
Recently, Yojimbo was upgraded to version 4.0, which brings with it a new syncing option and — well, not much else. But in today's day and age, is a service like Yojimbo still relevant when our Macs aren't our sole tool anymore and we're all using iPads and smartphones everywhere we go? Read on to find out what my thoughts are on the state of Yojimbo in 2013.

Mansfield, Conn.--Kaitlyn Kennedy's first-half goal held up for over 85 minutes as the host Eastern Connecticut State University Warriors handed UMass Boston women's soccer their first loss of the conference season 1-0 Saturday afternoon at Nevers Field.
Kennedy's strike three minutes and 20 seconds into the contest proved to be the difference, as Eastern Connecticut improved to 6-4 and 1-2 in Little East play. The loss snapped UMass Boston's four-game winning streak and sent the Beacons to 6-4 and 2-1 in LEC play.
Saturday's contest marked the first time UMass Boston was shutout in 31 contests, dating back to a 1-0 loss at Worcester State University in the ECAC New England Tournament Semifinals on November 12 of 2011.
Freshman Chelsea Santos earned the victory in net by making eight saves on eight shots for Eastern Connecticut. Kristen Spain (Quincy, Mass.) fell to 5-4 on the year, after having her 270 minute shutout streak come to an end. The Beacons keeper made one stop on the day.
UMass Boston held an 11-6 shot advantage on the day and 5-4 edge on corner kicks, but couldn't find a way to beat the Warriors freshman keeper.
Kennedy found the back of the net on the first shot of the day, as the senior picked up a loose ball in the box off a corner and slid it home, for the Warriors first lead in conference play this season.
Senior Tayla Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) had the best chance of the day for the Beacons, when she sent a shot just wide from in close with Santos out of her box. Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.) drew Santos out of her line to the right corner, only to slide a pass to Andrews in front, but Andrews' rushed shot went wide as two defenders converged.
UMass Boston will return to action Tuesday night when they travel to Wentworth Institute of Technology for a 7 p.m. start.

The DFL will contribute to several events again this year.
The DFL students and staff will attend, panel, and report at greater Seattle-area events this year.
First up is PAX Dev, the Penny Arcade Expo conference for game development. It takes place on August 27th and 28th, and is jam-packed with panels and workshops for designers, artists, programmers, and more. The Next staff will be attending both days.
PAX Prime picks up immediately after PAX Dev, and runs from August 29th to September 1st. Prime is the ultimate convention for game lovers, and is expected to showcase a wealth of upcoming indie and big industry titles. We're hosting two panels at Prime: "Game Changer: Game Design and Development in Higher Education" and "Loving What You Hate: How to Engage with Problematic Media". Additionally, we'll be guests on a third panel—"Gatekeeping In Our Digital Fantasies"—presented by Pixelkin, a website for gamer families. All three panels are tentatively scheduled for Sunday.
On September 20th, the second annual Gay Romance Northwest kicks off at the Seattle Public Library. This is a small, passionate gathering to celebrate diversity in romance writing, and features panels for writers and readers alike, plus dozens of attending authors.
We're finishing up the year at GeekGirlCon, a convention dedicated to recognizing and celebrating geeky women and pop culture. Our staff will be presenting a panel on media representation alongside our friends from Pixelkin. Next editor Emmett Scout will also be part of a panel on diversity in YA fiction. We'll have updates on these panels and their times and locations as the information becomes available. GeekGirlCon runs October 11th and 12th.
Microsoft developer evangelist Jeremy Foster visited the Digital Future Lab in early April for UW Bothell's first Appathon event. Students from CSS, Biology, Interactive Media Design and Business Administration joined together to learn the process of developing applications-and designed their own applications within the same day.
Jeremy gave a tutorial on Visual Studio 2012, the development software that allows students to create and package apps. To wrap it up the presentation, there was a quick tutorial on how to design simple games through the use of a program called Construct 2. Participating students were given $100 for each app created and certified by the end of the promotion!
It was a great experience that provided UWB students with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with creating apps. With the rise of mobile devices, the creation of apps to connect users to your products is an increasingly important job skill, making workshops like the Appathon challenge a valuable training opportunity. If you missed it, don't worry! The Microsoft team is coming again in May to talk about app development and provide more opportunities for student prizes.
Our Fiasco Night featured a collaborative storytelling game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control.
Inspired by films like Blood Simple, Fargo, Burn After Reading, and True Grit, Fiasco helped students worked together to create similar cinematic tales of hair-brained schemes gone horribly wrong. In about as long as it took to watch a movie, students made a complete imaginary movie of their own.
In the words of media icon Wil Wheaton, "Fiasco is a game that is fun; it helps you to imagine. I hope you have fun while everything goes wrong."
Into game design? A fan of Shadowrun? Learn from one of the original game designers of Shadowrun and get an insider view on the Kickstarter campaign and the Shadowrun Universe.
Mike Mulvihill has worked in the game industry for nearly 25 years – designing everything from early tabletop role-playing games to the latest app-based and social-media electronic games. He has created games for many well-known and beloved properties, including Marvel Comics, Major League Baseball, Disney Pirates, NASCAR, Halo, DC Comics, Star Wars and, of course, Shadowrun.
Fresh off a very successful Kickstarter campaign that rekindled the world of Shadowrun, a game universe with 25 years of history, Mike talked about crowd-source funding and its role in the future of game design.
In addition, Mike discussed Shadowrun-from its humble origins, its history as a tabletop RPG, its Sega Genesis and SNES incarnations and even a few versions no one knew about.
As a grizzled vet of the gaming wars, Mike addressed staying alive in the current market, the importance of fans, the gaming nostalgia that brings properties back and, of course, why anyone would pay $10,000 to play a game with him.
What started as a student project soon became a finalist in several international contests, including being a 2012 IGF Student Showcase Winner and the 2012 Indie Game Challenge winner of Gameplay Design and Art Direction.
Game designer Ty Taylor, creator of award-winning game "The Bridge", shared the steps he took from the beginning and throughout the process to create a game with only a team size of two people. He also reflected on the many failures he had throughout his years of making video games, giving advice that he wished he would have received as a student.
For more information on The Bridge, please visit http://thebridge.hypercubegames.net/
During this workshop we took an introductory look at Adobe's Flash, with an emphasis on producing animation for games. Over the course of this intensive workshop, we covered a broad range of topics including tips for using Flash's tools effectively, understanding Flash's timeline, and using symbols to speed up workflow.
By the end of the workshop, students had the skill set necessary to create multiple character animations as well as effects and interface animations for inclusion in a game.
The Digital Future Lab, in partnership with the Student Veterans Association at UW Bothell, threw a little celebration for students, staff, faculty, and their families in honor of the culmination of Fall Quarter 2011.
This was our way of acknowledging your academic accomplishments and your families' support and understanding. Please come and have a fun night with us... no strings attached.
The Digital Future Lab co-sponsored a conference on technology and social justice.
An intensive three-week course in the fundamentals of modern game design taught by industry professionals at UW Bothell's Digital Future Lab.
Microsoft provided lunch at the appathon event!
Appathon attendees with different levels of experience worked together to design some awesome apps!
Fiasco Night was a great opportunity for students to apply their creativity to storytelling games.

First, I really like the spiffy Belgian Beer bottles that come wrapped in paper. They are just fun. Second, I am very fond of Maredsous' Blonde Beer.
That said, Maredsous Brown was very good, but didn't stick out in any particular way to me. There was no really interesting or unusual thing about it. Just a very good, well made beer. And that is fine, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.

I am looking for a way to start an application with an alternate system time than that which is set. Basically one of the beta programs I use has a bug (it really is a bug) that no longer lets it work past January 29th. Setting my system time to a few day prior fixed the issue and the app works fine now. However some of my other applications are not working properly anymore.
As a general question (I could see my self using this for other things), is it possible to launch an application and make it think there is an alternate system time?
Specifically though, I am running Mac OS 10.7.2 and I'm trying to launch MouseShare with an alternate system time than that which is set.

Manchester City 5 CSKA Moscow 2
Alvaro Negredo grabbed a hat-trick and Sergio Aguero struck twice as Manchester City powered into the Champions League knockout stages with a convincing 5-2 defeat of CSKA Moscow.
The result never seemed in doubt after Aguero hit his first from the penalty in the third minute at the Etihad Stadium and the in-form hosts were 3-0 up after an hour.
Seydou Doumbia twice disrupted City's flow with a goal on the stroke of half-time and a 71st-minute penalty but Manuel Pellegrini's men were not threatened and secured qualification for the first time with two games to spare.
Aguero's second after 20 minutes was his 13th of the season and Negredo then put City in complete control.
He added his second soon after the break and completed his treble in the last minute. After exits at the group stages in each of the past two seasons the result represented the next major step forward in City's development.
After the meeting between the two clubs in the Russian capital a fortnight ago was soured by racist chanting aimed at Yaya Toure, there was also focus on the crowd.
City fans were quick to burst into a chant of support for Toure and followed by informing their CSKA counterparts, in crude terms, that they regarded them as racists.
Stewards also acted quickly to remove a banner unfurled by City fans reading, 'Free Pussy Riot', referring to the members of the imprisoned members of the Russian protest band.
Midway through the first half police and stewards also moved in among the CSKA supporters after what may have been a minor disturance and a smoke bomb was later let off.
On the field City were quickly into their stride as the same side that started Saturday's 7-0 win over Norwich picked up where they left off.
That meant England goalkeeper Joe Hart was again on the bench as manager Pellegrini opted to continue with Costel Pantilimon.
Less than two minutes had gone when David Silva tricked his way into the CSKA box and was brought down by former Manchester United player Zoran Tosic.
Aguero clinically dispatched the penalty to move clear of Francis Lee as City's record goalscorer in Europe.
CSKA capitalised on the vulnerability that remains in the City defence in the contiunued absence of Vincent Kompany to carve out a chance for Doumbia but he blazed over.
City began to assert themselves more as Toure shot over from a free-kick and Silva combined with Samir Nasri before lashing into the side-netting.
Aguero's second came as he took a Nasri pass and brilliantly turned Aleksei Berezutski with a deft touch before guiding a shot past Igor Akinfeev.
Negredo volleyed over from a poor clearance and Toure curled a long-range effort just wide as the pressure continued.
Negredo claimed the third on the half-hour as he found Aguero wide and then received a perfect return pass into his path from the Argentinian to tap in from six yards.
An Aguero overhead kick was blocked and Negredo narrowly failed to turn in another good cross from his strike partner.
CSKA broke the procession on the stroke of half-time as Pontus Wernbloom split the City defence with a superb through-ball and Doumbia glided around Pantilimon to pull one back.
It may have raised more questions over the defence but they could wait for another day as City resumed normal service in the second half.
Nasri met a Toure long ball with a superb first-time pass that gifted Negredo another tap-in.
As Bayern Munich took the lead in the other game in the group, City were cruising to the next stage but they had a jolt as Gael Clichy tripped Doumbia.
Toure's Ivory Coast team-mate got up to send Pantilimon the wrong way from the spot and reduce the arrears.
It was almost immediately cancelled out as Negredo narrowly failed to claim his hat-trick with a shot that flew inches over the bar.
The Spaniard went close again after substitute Jesus Navas caused more defensive uncertainty but his close-range effort was deflected wide.
City grabbed the fifth goal their superiority deserved as Negredo wrapped up the scoring in injury time by heading home a cross from James Milner to complete his hat-trick.

Tip: Bulk updates to a table
Here's a nice trick: bulk update of a table in place.
Say you have a table for data that is updated regularly. You don't want to add or edit data row by row! You'd like to keep the same table, but include the updates. Here are two tips, depending on what form the updates take: a bunch of new rows, or updates scattered throughout the rows.
Add new rows to a table
It's easy to bring additional rows into an existing Fusion Table using File > Import more rows.
Try it yourself!
Imagine you are tracking all vacant or abandoned buildings in Chicago, each of which was identified by a service request on a specific date. The table has data through March of 2011 and now you want to add in April's data.We've created some sample data for you and put April's new rows in a Google Spreadsheet.
- Download the sample file to your computer: Chicago's vacant buildings
- Create a new table with the example dataset:
- Go to Google Drive and click New > More > Google Fusion Tables.
- Click Browse to find the file on your computer.
- Click Next, Next, and Finish to create your table. It should look like this:
- Now bring in April's rows:
- Choose File > Import more rows
- Select the file with the new rows.
- Choose Google Spreadsheet from the left bar, and paste the URL to this spreadsheet with April's rows.
- Or, download this CSV and click Browse to find the file on your computer.
- Click Select and Finish to bring the rows into your table.
- Confirm the new rows are in your table.
- Click Req Date
- Select "Sort Dec 31, 2012 to Jan 1 2012" to sort the recent dates to the top.
Bulk replace all rows in a table
What if any row might have updates, or even some rows have been deleted? You have a file with the latest version, and now you want to update the Fusion Table too.
The best way to do this is a quick 2-step: delete all rows, then import the new file with all the changes back into the table. This way, you aren't creating a new table, just updating an existing one.
- Since deleting all rows can't be undone, you may wish to File > Download a copy of your current table as a precaution.
- Delete all the rows:
- In the new look, use Edit > Delete all rows.
- In classic, use File > Delete all rows.
- Click OK when prompted.
Here's your empty table once you've deleted the rows:
- Now use File > Import more rows to bring the new version of the data into your table.
Your original table is updated with the latest information.

Rockies Recap: Stewart in the zone
Rockies 6, Angels 4
At Tempe, March 12
At the plate: Ian Stewart found his zone today, proving his left biceps injury is fully healed. He launched a three-run homer off Angels starter John Lackey in the first and added a run-scoring single in the seventh, increasing his spring RBI total to five. Utility candidate Daniel Ortmeier hit a solo homer to right in the fifth, his second homer this spring. Clint Barmes went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, boosting his average to .375.
On the mound: Though not as sharp as his last outing, lefty Franklin Morales pitched a workmanlike four innings, allowing two runs on two hits. He also walked two. One area of concern is Morale's continued discomfort when men get on base. That led to a first-inning balk, though the Rockies protested the call.
"I tried to throw my fastball inside early and I used my curveball pretty good later on," Morales said.
Closer candidate Huston Street, his quadriceps 100 percent healthy, threw and aggressive, efficient fifth, setting the Angels down in order.
In the field: Stewart, getting the start at third base, flagged down a hot shot down the line by Torri Hunter in the third inning and fired a perfect throw to first nip Hunter. Earlier in the inning, Stewart barehanded a slow roller by Chone Figgins, easily throwing him out at first.
Center fielder Scott Podsednik went full throttle in the sixth, tracking down a deep fly by Mike Napoli to save a run.
Pitcher Jason Hirsh made an ugly error in the sixth. Hirsh got Kendry Morales to hit a chopper back to the mound, catching Erick Aybar between third and home. But Hirsh tossed the ball over the head of catcher Paul Phillips, allowing Aybar to score.
Footnotes: After a seven-game losing streak to open spring training, the Rockies have won six straight Cactus League games. … Podsednik (three walks) — counting on his speed to help him earn a spot on the roster — stole his third base of the spring in the first. He was thrown out trying to steal in the fifth.
Up next: The Rockies host National League West rival San Francisco at Hi Corbett Field.
Scheduled Rockies pitchers: Greg Reynolds, Josh Fogg, Glendon Rusch and Randy Flores.

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson told reporters in Auckland on Monday that team officials had lost confidence in the pair and they would not be considered for the Wellington match, although Bracewell was already ruled out with a broken foot.
"We need to make sure that all our players prepare themselves accordingly for test cricket, and at the moment we don't have confidence that that's the case," Hesson said of the visit to an Auckland bar until the early hours of Thursday.
"Both Jesse and Doug did not prepare themselves well for the test match and we're certainly very disappointed about that.
"We're dealing with grown men. If a player was to have a beer with their meal before a game, we don't have an issue with that at all.
"But there's a big difference between that and what occurred the night before the test match."
New Zealand won the first match of the two-test series by 40 runs late on the fourth day on Sunday and Hesson was annoyed that Ryder and Bracewell's behaviour was still detracting from that performance.
"The fact that we've won a test match yesterday and the fact the first few questions are based around off-field incidents is clearly an extreme disappointment for the team," Hesson said.
"It takes away from a superb effort over the last four days."
Batsman Ryder and bowling all-rounder Bracewell had not been in the starting team for the clash at Eden Park but had been expected to be ready to play last Thursday.
Bracewell was on standby in case one of the bowlers got injured in the final warm-ups while Ryder had to be ready to come into the team for Ross Taylor, whose wife is expected to give birth to their second child this week.
Until last week's indiscretion, Ryder had been expected to be included in the starting side at the Basin Reserve for the February 14-18 clash as Taylor can not be replaced once the game started.
Hesson added that Bracewell's broken foot had meant he would not have been available for the second test anyway. New Zealand are due to announce the side on Tuesday.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) is still investigating how the 23-year-old suffered the injury after he had taken a full part in training last Wednesday.
The duo have had a chequered past with cricket officials.
They were both disciplined for going to a bar on the eve of a one-day international in Napier in February 2012 and getting involved in a verbal altercation with a member of the public.
While both were injured at the time and not expected to play, the team said they had breached strict rules around recovery from injury.
Ryder went into self-imposed exile after that incident and spent almost two years away from the international game as he attempted to put his life back together off the field.
He returned to the national side last December for the limited-overs series against West Indies, having served a six-month doping ban and survived an assault that left him in a coma with serious head injuries.
Hesson said Ryder had not breached team protocols since his return to the national side until last week.
The incident was still under investigation by NZC and a decision then will be made on whether they face a code of conduct charge.
