text: SUICIDE BOMBERS attack Turkish embassy staff in Somalia. A rocket-propelled grenade slams into the United Arab Emirates's embassy in Libya. Nine people are killed when three men try to storm an Indian consulate in Afghanistan. Those recent incidents didn't make nearly as much news as this weekend's pre-emptive U.S. response to intelligence reports of a planned al-Qaida attack: a wide-ranging travel warning and the closing of 19 U.S. diplomatic facilities through Aug. 10. Yet they still offer a useful lens on the best way to counter a changing terrorist threat. The first thing they tell us is that while the U.S. may be an exceptional, if not 'indispensable,' nation, it has plenty of company as a terrorist target. In Yemen, for instance, France, Germany and Britain also decided to close their embassies. And for diplomats from other nations, the threat of mayhem has become just another day in the office. The second thing these attacks bring to mind is that it's a mistake to define 'al-Qaida' as a single entity directed from above; it's long been a collection of loose networks with a shared ideology and a willingness to exchange 'best practices.' The recent prison breaks that led to the freeing of hundreds of militants in Pakistan, Iraq and Libya are cases in point: They may not have been coordinated, but they did follow similar tactics and have similar goals. Finally, these attacks and prison raids point as much to the weakness of states as the strength of terrorists. Even if countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan and Yemen were more committed to protecting diplomatic facilities and stopping prison raids, in many cases they lack the wherewithal to do so. For the foreseeable future, the West will be dealing with a bloc of weak states. The Long War will slide into the Long Unease. IT'S WORTH remembering that the security of diplomatic facilities ultimately rests with their host countries. If they can't or won't provide it, then curtailing diplomatic representation seems like a prudent option - in the latter case, with the pressure of reciprocal cuts imposed on their own representation. Likewise, outsiders can't do much to prevent prison breaks - especially in the case of U.S. relations with Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. For all the strengths of the U.S.'s Supermax prisons, exporting them probably won't win many hearts and minds. One thing the U.S. can do is continue holding off on sending back to Yemen any of the 56 Yemeni detainees at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay camp who are now eligible for transfer or release. More broadly, al-Qaida's evolution will call for a more discerning effort on the part of the U.S. and its allies. Not every group that claims al-Qaida's mantle is worthy of attention. And very few of the hundreds of prisoners set loose recently from Abu Ghraib (now known as Baghdad Central Prison), or the 1,000-plus from Benghazi's Al-Kufiya prison, will ever directly threaten the U.S. or its allies. ON THE OTHER hand, continued turmoil in Iraq, Syria and Libya, let alone Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, serves no one's interests but the militants'. The challenge ahead is to engage the attention and effort of more countries - an energy- hungry China, for instance - to promote regional stability. The U.S. can't close up diplomatic shop and walk away from the Middle East's trouble spots. But it also can't stay there alone. - Bloomberg News

In the late 1980's and early 1990's I served in the United States Air Force. While I was stationed in England three to four times a year every Special Operations unit in NATO, and other friendly countries would converge on our "not on google maps" base for counter insurgency, and counter terrorism training/operations.

Textures And Technique Showcased In Inuit art Exhibition Open At The WAG
Extraordinary artworks shaped by scarce materials
Textures and technique showcased in Inuit art exhibition open at the WAG
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA – December 19, 2013: The WAG's new exhibition From the Land: Materials & Message in Inuit Art features wall hangings and sculptures that interpret a range of subjects from traditional camp life to arctic animals and the spirit world using a variety of media and artistic techniques. It will run December 14-June 8, 2014.
"This exhibition reveals the innovative use of a wide variety of organic materials, in addition to stone, to give artistic interpretations of subjects from everyday life, the natural and spirit world, and shamanic ritual," says Darlene Wight, Curator of Inuit Art at the WAG.
One of the fascinations of Inuit sculpture is how the often scarce materials available have been shaped into extraordinary artworks. Some communities have only small deposits of stone, a medium commonly used by Inuit artists, and so artists must often resort to the use of organic materials from animals. Netsilingmiut artists from Taloyoak, such as Karoo Ashevak, have become known for their creative use of ancient whalebone left on the tundra by their predecessors. Antlers, shed each autumn by caribou, are a common material for carvers such as Chesley Nibgoarsi in the Kivalliq region.
The artworks on display depict a variety of subjects ranging from narrative traditional camp life scenes to arctic animals and the spirit world. Included is a distinctive wall hanging incorporating antler, beads, and caribou skin by Martha Ikiperiak Eekerkik of Arviat as well as fabric collage hangings by renowned Baker Lake artists Jessie Oonark, Elizabeth Angrnaqquaq, and Marion Tuu'luq.
Looking North Family Sunday Program: Sunday, February 2, 1:30-4:00pm, $10 per family Celebrate the Canadian North at the WAG! Discover and explore the traditions and art practices of artists from Winnipeg to the Arctic. Enjoy inspiring art workshops and games, immerse yourself in a fascinating multi-channeled film presentation from Iceland, and check out an exciting surprise rooftop installation (don't forget your parka!)

The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a cultural advocate for understanding and experiencing art and art-making, and their vital place in our lives, work and society.

The state-run exchange says over 150,000 Californians have picked a health plan through Covered California as of last week.
It says November's enrollment was double October's.
Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee says he's expecting a sign-up surge before the December 23rd deadline.
"We're seeing a surge today. I just want to note that on Monday and Tuesday, 15,000 people going end to end [each day] in selecting a plan is a lot of people," says Lee.
Lee says the number of young people who have signed up for a plan is almost proportional to the young population of California as a whole.
Almost 180,000 applicants for insurance through Covered California may instead qualify for the state's Medicaid program.

In a trial conducted last year, consumers were given the option to use their existing phone charger rather than get one with a new HTC phone. In what the companies called the "first ever trial of charger-free phones" 82 per cent of consumers "took the greener option".
The mobile network confirmed that the results pave the way for it to sell all phones charger free by 2015, as it outlined in its environmental impact plans in 2012.
It is estimated that there are currently 100 million unused chargers across the UK, and all major mobile phones, with the exception of Apple, now use the same micro-USB charging connector because of European-led industry initiatives. Chargers themselves offer a standard USB jack which is compatible with all charging cables, including Apple versions.
The wasted chargers are taking up the equivalent volume of four Olympic swimming pools in consumers' drawers and lofts.
The "Charger out of the Box" pilot was launched in October using the HTC One X+ handset. The 82 per cent uptake exceeded O2's target of 70 per cent.
Customers who did want a charger with their new handset were offered one at cost price.
Approximately 30 million new phones are sold in the UK each year. If the results of the trial were reflected nationally that would be cut to just 6million.
Ronan Dunne, chief executive of O2, said "The results of the trial demonstrate a clear willingness among consumers to consider and respond to the environmental argument for taking a phone charger-free. I now hope that as a result of this study the rest of the industry will now consider joining us in our campaign to take chargers out of the box for good."
Phil Roberson, Regional Director of the UK at HTC, said "This pilot demonstrates that, if we inform our customers about the environmental impact of wasted phone chargers and the benefits of using the chargers and mains adapters that they already own, they respond positively to the message."

A-DOR-able! Finding Dory is as extraordinary as its predecessor in terms of drama, CGI and humour. What it also is, like every other movie in the Pixar universe, an edutainment bandwagon that keeps steering towards the thoughtful learning curve.
Even after more than a decade Pixar manages to bring back the panache of the first. The movie has Dory written all over it, with the heart-melting cuteness of young Dory voiced endearingly by Sloane Murray. Pixar does occasional visits to depict glimpses from the past which gives us plenty of baby Dory to enjoy. Also, it is thoroughly entertaining and packs in humour galore.
There is something about the notion of forgetting, which is profusely poetic. Amnesiac Dory's inclusion, that started for mere fun in the Nemo franchise, ended up getting a profound treatment, and Pixar has a knack to identify the fervent. There is no doubt humour lurking in things that grind out from someone's mishap, but to truly live the horror of the fallen is what makes you empathize. Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane milks this very fact with an unrivalled flair as they leave us swimming in the shoes…er…fins of Dory, when her life seems like a lost affair.
Before we even get on the Finding Dory joyride, we are allowed to feast on a beautiful Pixar short called Piper. The short gorgeously helmed by Alan Barillaro is a visual feat that cashes in on a baby Sandpiper's life.
There is so much education holed up in those ephemeral 6 minutes that you cannot thank Alan enough to have thought something so winning. I wouldn't spoil it for ya! Go ahead and watch. You will know!
Finding Dory's most powerful moment is when she realizes that her parents could be dead all this time. Also when she percolates out alone with her thoughts, totally clueless of where should she go. It has an element of dark to it, very shattering as she ends up being masticated by dismay. The music touches the melancholic chords there. But just then the reunion happens, and it will fill you up with tears of joy.
The whole team of Dory, starting with Hank, Bailey (watch him use his echolocation skills) and Destiny voiced brilliantly by Ed O' Neill, Ty Burrell and Kaitlin Olson are all endearing additions to the franchise. They complete the tale helping her out to achieve what she set out for in the first place.
Searching hard for the downside of Finding Dory, we don't get to see both sides of the coin like we did in the previous installment, so it was harder to relate to what her parents were going through all this time.
Au contraire, in Finding Nemo we were constantly grinding in the distress of a father who had just lost his child. It was adventurous as there were unexplored corners of the ocean, and a whole new enclave to look forward to. Sadly, here everything seems convoluted in one place.
Finding Dory is constantly flinging at us the importance of saving the ocean life, rehabilitating the weaker species and helping them out in dire situations. It is a lesson to those who don't care.
A beautiful, beautiful movie!

TM1, and TI in particular has quite a lot of inbuilt functions but occasionally they miss a few (ELISANC in Excel for one). Although TI has DIMSIZ to count the number of elements in a dimension, there is nothing to count the number of dims in a cube. When trying to recreate a cube via TI, thats a pain because you need to know how many dims to create it with to be able to write a "CubeCreate" statement.
Below is a short piece of code that works that out for you;
Code: Select all
DimMax = 16;
DimLast = TabDim ( CubeName , DimMax );
While ( DimLast @= '' );
DimMax = DimMax - 1;
DimLast = TabDim ( CubeName , DimMax );
- DimMax is set to 16 because i know we don't have any cubes bigger than that. If you do, then just set that higher.
- CubeName is a variable within the TI, in my case it's from a dimension subset that's the datasource for the TI.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a potentially fatal
respiratory illness caused by a virus found in the saliva, urine, and droppings
of some rodents. People can become infected with the virus by breathing
contaminated dust, touching an infected rodent or rodent urine or droppings, or
being bitten by an infected rodent.
Fever, fatigue, and muscle aches develop about 2 to 3 weeks after
being exposed to the virus. A few days later, coughing and shortness of breath
become severe as fluid builds up in the lungs (pulmonary edema). HPS is
diagnosed with laboratory tests.
Early treatment for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is important for
survival. Treatment includes supportive care for breathing and prevention of
shock. HPS can be prevented by avoiding contact with rodents and their

You may place pendant signals in order that they provide a immediate source of glowing brightness to deliberate areas like a corner of an area, ceiling, decorative thing, and photographs. These light casting constructions look good in hallways, bathing rooms, bedrooms, plus more. Wherever light is necessary, a pendant can support. You might have a dark area in your workplace that you want to light up somewhat. A pendant can deliver figure, contrast, and today's touch to your space. If you're sick and tired of using traditional method of light resources and want to something more attractive and unique, you can do this with pendant designs because they're flexible. Generally, you will see this design of light in work areas or attractive spaces. That is due to designs capability to provide regular downward lighting. If you'd like centered light over your workspace in a build room, reading nook, or visitor bedroom, consider by using a pendant light for a far more focused option. Did you know many people are in fact replacing vanity light in their bathing rooms with pendants? When put strategically, these kind of lights give a more even splash of brightness across a location. For instance, when found in the bathroom, you won't have to battle to see what you are doing when shaving or making use of makeup. Pendant signals work well over the dining room desk or higher the range in your kitchen. You don't simply use one pendant light, but may use many strung up in a row for a remarkable result. Kitchen islands look good with this framework placed into place, not forgetting highly aesthetic. If you're really feeling daring, add different patterns, designs, and colors of the signals to the string for an individual touch of personality. Try inserting them at different levels and angles. Do you feel that an area at home or office must be organised and little more? Perhaps you desire a method for the clutter nevertheless, you haven't any space to place your products. Pendant lights can provide the illusion that your space is much less cluttered as it looks. Remove large floor or lamps with smaller pendant styles to check out how amazing your space appears. Take into account that these kind of signals do come in a number of sizes and shapes so make certain to find the version that a lot of appropriately suits your space. You might like to gauge the area first before purchasing the pendant. You don't want to adhere a huge light that is too large in a tiny space or this will beat the goal of what you want to accomplish. Take heed position your pendant light in the best position for your office or home environment. Casting downward or upwards light is important and established after how your light is put. There are lots of ways to start this, but seeking the advice of a specialist designer or light specialist is a superb way to start out. Finally, ensure that the pendants you select compliment your home or business's d?cor and style. You wouldn't put pendants designed like hearts within an African safari themed room. Overall, the decision is yours where lights you select, and with pendants, you are available to many options.

Adsense Tips, Layout Optimization Tricks for Higher CTR
Google Adsense is perhaps the easiest way to attract advertisers from across the globe to your blog. Just submit your blog to Google for approval. If Google likes what it sees, it will place contextual ads linking to products likely to appeal to the readers. Each time a reader clicks a link, the advertiser pays Google a small fee, and Google splits that with you.
The next interesting question - How to Make Money with Google Adsense ? Here are The best Google Adsense Tips and Tricks for making more money (profit) from Google adsense program.
a. Strictly follow the rules mentioned in Adsense policies. You will always earn more revenue from Adsense by playing it clean.
b. Never modify the Google Adsense HTML code.
c. Don't ask your friends or visitors to click on your Google ads. Do not include incentives of any kind for users to click on ads. Don't label the Google ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements.".
d. Don't click on your own ads - Google is much smarter than you think. You should not reload your pages excessively. If you are testing your website layout with Google adsense, follow some precautions. Or you can use the unofficial Google Adsense Sandbox Tool that is accessible from Firefox, IE and other browsers to see what kind of Google ads will be served based on content (website address URL) or keywords.
e. Don't place ads in pop-up windows, error pages or even empty pages.
f. Don't start a "adsense asbestos" or "home equity loan rates" website merely to make money from accidental clicks (accidence). You will never make money out these "made-for-adsense-only" websites. Instead, write on topics what you are passionate about. Don't waste your money on high-paying adsense keywords lists.
g. For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content.
h. For long articles, CTR improves if ads are placed somewhere in middle of the content - visitors read the long content and then they are looking for more resources.
i. Use Text Ads instead of Image Ads as users get more options. If you still want to display image ads, consider ad formats that support image ads - Choose either the 300x250 medium rectangle or the 160x600 wide skyscraper - or both, if you display multiple ad units on a page.
j. Google Ads without background color and borders always perform better. Make the border color and background color same as your page background color.
k. Always put ads above the main fold. Make sure that the ad unit with the highest clickthrough rate is the first instance of the ad code that appears in the HTML. Since the first ad unit is always filled before the rest, you want to make sure that ad unit is located in the best placement on your page.
l. Try setting the ad link URL color to a lighter shade. If your text is black, you may make the adlink as light gray.
m. Go Wide - The large rectangle is the best paying adsense format (336x280) - The Google Adsense Publisher team also feels that the best formats are the wider ones - the ad formats that contain the widest individual ads. Try using the 336x280 large rectangle, 300x250 medium rectangle, or 160x600 wide skyscraper.
n. Placing images next to ads or above ads does help in attracting user attention.
o. Blend AdLinks with other navigation links or place horizontal adlinks at the top of your webpage. AdSense publishers are permitted to click on link unit topics on their web pages, provided that they do not click on any Google ads on the resulting page.
p. Organize an Adsense Party for your friends and colleagues - Request them to navigate your website, watch their activity - it will provide vital clues about which regions on your website draw more user attention. Try putting ads near those areas. (Thanks Darren)
q. You can put upto 3 adsense units on a page. Try putting a large skyscraper on the right navigation sidebar of your website. That area is close to the browser scrollbar. You can also add 2 AdSense for search boxes, 1 adlink unit and 1 referral button per product (i.e., 1 AdSense referral button and 1 Firefox plus Google Toolbar referral button).
r. The first few lines of your content are an important factor for determining what Ads are served on your webpage. That's the right place to put keywords in bold (strong or <b> tags) or header tags (h1, h2, etc).
s. Always select the setting to open Google Adsense search box results in a new browser window, so you won't lose your visitors. Click the Open search results in a new browser window checkbox and this add target="google_window" to your form tag.
t. Maximum people think the search box is on the top right corner. So you know where to put it.
u. Don't syndicate full content. If people can read everything from the newsreader window itself, why would they visit your website where your ads are.
v. Use URL channels to determine performance of individual pages. I track my most popular pages with Google Analytics, Statcounter and create a channel for each of the URL. You can even track Adsense Clicks with Analytics.
w. For low CTR pages, try changing titles or adding more content to get better focused ads.
x. Block low paying advertisers with Filters. Why to loose a visitor for 0.01 cents. Use Overture or Google Adwords Keywords tool to discover keywords that are less popular with advertisers.
y. The AdSense for search Top Queries report shows you what your users are looking for, by listing the 25 most common searches conducted through your AdSense for search boxes. Use this report to identify additional topics to add to your site, or to keep track of your most sought-after information. Focus and improve that content.
z. Not everyone has a RSS reader. Use RSS to Email services like FeedBlitz, Bloglet or Rmail to let users subscribe to your blog by email.
Remember, you are the best judge when it comes to choosing ad formats. Even Google doesn't offer the best advise always. For instance, in the visual heat map, Google suggests that webmasters are best served by positioning ads on the upper left-hand side of a Web page. But on the Google homepage, you will find ads on the far right.

Should You Buy a Car Online Or Not?
Online car buying has many advantages over the old fashion way of buying cars. However, the number of disadvantages is just as numerous. Web or the internet is the most useful resource for planning and researching car prices and deals.
From the comfort of your own home, you can compare models and makes and decide what type of a car you want to buy, much before you even go to the dealership.
This is a huge advantage when buying a car, because car dealers will very often try to steer you towards buying a car that they want you to buy instead of the car you want. This can be especially important if you plan on buying a used car, have your mind firmly set and do not rush in to any decisions.
If the used car dealer does not have the car you wanted and you stumble on to a car you did not really want, but it looks like a good deal just go home and think about it and the return tomorrow.
Many people do not like the hassle of regular car buying and for them buying a car on the internet is God given gift. However, internet car shopping makes several very important steps in car buying very hard or even impossible.
It can prove very difficult to inspect the car you are interested in visually, and there is just no way for a test drive. Because of that, it is essential that you buy only from reputable dealers.
Check the internet for forums and groups about cars and ask around, read what other people are saying.
Especially useful information is from the people who have already bought cars online, try to talk with them, compare the car models, dealers and experiences they had.
Main advantages of buying a car online:
1. Choice in makes and model.
2. Choice of color.
3. Easy price comparison.
4. Easy deals comparison.
5. You are not limited to your local dealers.
However, do not forget that even on the web, car dealers are still dealers. Dealing over the webcam does not mean you cannot ask the same questions you would have asked in car dealership.
Ask whatever questions you want, do a thorough research, check for any car weaknesses and ask if there are any on the car you are interested in.
Check if you can return the car, even if the car has already been shipped. In some cases if the car must be returned you could end up paying for transportation costs.
Include this in your car buying calculation, because you could get reluctant returning the car not right for you, damaged or with some other mistakes just because transportation cost.
Thousands of people have already sold and bought cars on the web. If you decide that this is the right way for you to buy a car, be careful, do your research and buy only from the reputable dealers with thousands happy costumers to vouch for them.

Summit County under warning as winter storm descends
summit daily news
Summit County may get one more late-season blast before the ski areas close with a powerful low-pressure system promising several inches of snow across Colorado.
Varying forecasts called for Summit County to get somewhere between 3 inches and more than a foot of new snow by Wednesday morning. A winter storm warning remains in effect for the county until 6 tonight.
At press time, the storm was expected to move into the High Country Monday night bringing heavy snow, wind and difficult driving conditions. Snow accumulation was expected to be heaviest at the higher elevations and on eastern slopes. As of Monday night, lower elevations in the county are expected to get 3-6 inches of new snow, although there was still some uncertainty of the exact track of the storm and weather watchers said variations were possible.
Snowfall is expected to continue throughout the day today, slowing down this evening.
"There's a ton of moisture and storm energy and cold air with this storm, and that leads to pretty high confidence that most areas will see good snow through the day on Tuesday," weather blogger and meteorologist Joel Gratz posted Monday.
Accumulation projections vary, however. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center Monday expected as much as 7 inches of new snow to collect in the Summit and Vail zone Monday night and called for 2-4 additional inches today. At press time the National Weather Service forecasts projected up to 4 inches Monday night and an additional 2-4 inches of accumulation throughout the day today.
Sources agree, however, the warm temperatures sustained through the weekend will plummet today, with highs only expected to climb into the 20s. The mercury is expected to sink into the single digits tonight and Wednesday night.
Wednesday's high is projected to be in the mid-20s for Summit County.
Forecasters warned of heavy snowfall and poor driving conditions Tuesday as the storm shifts to the north-central mountains.
"Travel will be dangerous as roads will be icy and snowpacked, and visibilities will be poor," a NWS winter storm warning states.
The storm is expected to dump as much as a foot of snow on metro Denver by Wednesday.
Breckenridge Ski Resort and Copper Mountain both wind down their seasons this weekend, with Closing Day festivities set for Sunday. Arapahoe Basin representatives said the ski area will remain open through June 2 if conditions permit.

The American Jewish Mosaic
Like the tiles in a mosaic, Jewish identity is multicolored and multicultural. Differing communities contribute their own experiences, practices, and perceptions, shifting and enriching Jewish life. Driving a discussion on this important topic, Emily Soloff brought together rabbis from communities that illustrate aspects of Jewish diversity – African American Jews of Chicago's South Side, and anusim, the secret Jews of Latin America and Europe - to explore the multifaceted and shifting parameters of Jewish identity.

Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it. Following the spread of gonococcal fluoroquinolone resistance, the cephalosporin antibiotics have been the foundation of recommended treatment for gonorrhea. The emergence of cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea would significantly complicate the ability of providers to treat gonorrhea successfully, since we have few antibiotic options left that are simple, well-studied, well-tolerated and highly effective. It is critical to continuously monitor antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and encourage research and development of new treatment regimens.

BALTIMORE- For the second consecutive game, UMBC senior forward Pete Caringi (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall) scored a pair of goals, leading the Retrievers to identical 3-1 victories. After netting a pair vs. Seattle on Friday evening, he scored two second half goals in sweltering conditions to give the hosts a 3-1 victory over UNLV in the Springhill Suites Arundel Mills BWI Kick-Off Classic at Retriever Soccer Park.
UMBC (2-0-0) takes the classic title with a +4 goal differential, compared to +3 from Delaware, which also posted victories over UNLV (0-2-0) and Seattle (0- 2-0).
Caringi scored career goals 29 and 30 in the game and has moved into a tie for ninth place on UMBC's all-time goal-scoring list.
Both team struggled with the conditions in the opening stage of play, but each side found the net in the final five minutes of the first half. UMBC midfielder Geaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mt. St. Joseph) was awarded a free kick after a Rebel handball just ouside the box in the 41st minute. He expertly hooked his shot around the UNLV wall and the effort eluded Rebel keeper Joe Vitale and tucked inside the left post.
But the visitors replied with just 1:20 to play in the stanza. Junior Salvadore Bernal beat his UMBC mark down the left goal line and his centering pass was redirected by sophomore back Corey Ackley past UMBC goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) from close range.
The game was knotted at 1-1 at the break, but it took the Retrievers just 23 seconds to take the lead for good. Junior midfielder Stephen Ho (North Potomac, Md./Wooton) hit a routine serve into the box, but Vitale mishandled it and Caringi pounced on the loose ball, tapping home the game-winning goal.
The 2012 America East Striker of the Year scored an insurance goal in the 67th minute. Once again, Ho created danger and he was loose on the right flank and crossed a ball into the box. Caringi was taken down in his effort to get to the ball and was awarded a penalty kick. Vitale went to his right, but Caringi's shot to the keeper's left along the ground found the goal.
Dating back to 2012, the Retrievers extended their unbeaten streak to 11 (8-0-3), which is the longest since a 21-game streak (19-0-2) in 1999.
UNLV outshot UMBC, 12-9, but there was only one save (Vitale) recorded in the contest.
Caringi recorded his sixth career multiple-goal effort as UMBC improved to 4-0-0 in career meetings with UNLV.
The Retrievers have now compiled a record of 22-4-6 in their kick-off classics since 1997.
UMBC gets back to action on Thursday, Sept. 5 when they host Central Connecticut State in the Hampton Inn BWI Classic opener. Kick-off time is 7:00 p.m.
Notes: Caringi was named the classic's Most Valuable Player, while Caltabiano, senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y.) and junior back Oumar Ballo (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley/CCBC-Essex) also earned All-Tournament team honors.

SCHURTER AG - Committed to sustainability
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), founded in 1997, developed globally-applicable quality criteria for sustainability reporting in order to make sustainability reports comparable around the world. The present Sustainability Report is based on GRI G3 guidelines and aims to document the current state of SCHURTER AG (SAG) in terms of sustainability. As SAG's first Sustainability Report in this form, it relates to the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Report is designed to serve as the basis for decisions relating to sustainability goals. At the same time, it represents a benchmark against which future data can be compared. This will make it possible to ascertain whether measures that have been taken are having the desired effect, whether defined targets are on track, as well as the extent to which further adjustments are necessary. To map these developments, a report cycle of three years is planned. The key parameters will, however, be recorded and evaluated annually. The Report focuses not on the SCHURTER Group, it – when not otherwise specified – documents the situation at SCHURTER AG.

America's Cup : America's Cup Team Representatives Welcomed to San Francisco
by Stephanie Martin
On Wednesday the field of international competitors for the 34th America's Cup revealed their game plans for winning the trophy and bringing the honor of hosting the Cup to their home country.
Teams representing China, France (with two teams), Italy, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Sweden and USA made their first appearance together in the host city of the 2013 America's Cup at a press conference where organizers introduced the line-up. The ninth team will be announced at a press conference on June 23rd in Europe.
"This field of competitors is truly global, representing a mix of established teams as well as new ones in sailing's top event," said Iain Murray, Regatta Director for the 34th America's Cup and CEO, America's Cup Race Management. "The new vision for the America's Cup has created the opportunity for teams from Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America to enter the Cup and compete in dynamic, new, wing-sailed catamarans, in an exciting race format."
Among the challenging nations, Republic of Korea is new to the America's Cup, while China is entering for just the second time.

San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee welcomed the teams to San Francisco, home of two 2012 America's Cup World Series events, and the Louis Vuitton Cup, America's Cup Challenger Series July 13 – September 1 and the America's Cup Finals September 7-22, both in 2013.
"San Francisco welcomes the nine international sailing teams who will take to San Francisco Bay to compete for the America's Cup trophy," said San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee. "They will be joined by hundreds of thousands of spectators from around the world for an unparalleled dramatic sailing event. The America's Cup is an extraordinary opportunity to leverage our region's resources to generate much needed revenue for our City and create jobs. We are moving rapidly to meet our commitments to host a spectacular 34th America's Cup in 2013."
The nine competitors will face-off for the first time in August at the inaugural America's Cup World Series event in Cascais, Portugal where a fleet of ten AC45s will do battle in both fleet and match racing. ORACLE Racing will enter two teams in the 2011 AC World Series.
"In only 11 months since the inception of the AC45, we designed, built and tested this fleet of ten race-ready boats for our first season," Murray said. "The America's Cup World Series is now. The fleet is on its way to Portugal and ORACLE Racing is here on the Bay giving San Francisco a sneak preview of the dramatic racing to come in August. Thanks to the teams for stepping up to this new challenge – the fun is about to begin."
The inaugural AC World Series competition will be held August 6 – 14 in Cascais, Portugal. The second stop on the circuit will be Plymouth, England on September 10-18, followed by the final stop in 2011 in San Diego.
In addition to the unveiling of the official slate of competitors, event organizers also introduced the new brand expression for both the 34th America's Cup and the 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup, the America's Cup Challenger Series.
"In every sense of the word, the America's Cup is reinventing itself, from our cutting-edge boats to breakthrough sporting technology to our visual identity," said Richard Worth, Chairman, America's Cup Event Authority. "Everything about this new America's Cup is designed around transforming the sport."
Talking about the new logo of the Louis Vuitton Cup, Pietro Beccari, Executive Vice-President of Louis Vuitton, said "When we started to work on the new logo for the Louis Vuitton Cup, we wanted to give it a modern and dynamic design which reflects the spirit of the competition. We began by playing with the sails and the hulls of these huge boats, from which we found the inspiration for the logo of next Louis Vuitton Cup."

United States – ORACLE Racing, Golden Gate Yacht Club, (Defender)
* The Ninth confirmed Team will be announced at a press conference June 23 in Europe
As they said it, quotes from the teams:
China Team, Wang Chaoyong, Team Principal: "China Team is a true Chinese challenger as it will be powered by mainly Chinese sailors on a China-built boat. We are currently actively recruiting the Chinese sailors through a series of training camps all over China, and at the same time, our existing team is training with Olympic multihull medalists on the China Team AC45 boat to ensure that we are ready to compete in the first World Series in August. China Team truly represents the spirit of sports in China; while sailing is still a relatively new sport in China, we will be ready to compete against the best sailing teams in the world for the most prestigious sailing sports trophy."
ALEPH – Équipe De France, Philippe Ligot, CEO: "Aleph is proud to continue France's heritage in sailing's pinnacle event the America's Cup. The America's Cup is a great contest of design and sailing skill. The new boats and format promise to transform a magnificent event into an even more exciting competition. Aleph looks forward to racing here in San Francisco."
Energy Team, Bruno Peyron, General Manager: "Energy Team comes to the America's Cup with great experience in world-class multihull racing. With this new format, we see an exciting opportunity to excel in the America's Cup. The French public are huge fans of multihull racing so this move to new, dynamic boats will be great for the French sailing audience. And I have no doubt that the passion the French have for fast multihulls will be shared globally once people see these teams racing."
Venezia Challenge, Dario Valenza, Operations Manager: "This new formula is very exciting, it is a great format able to attract sponsors and audience. Venezia Challenge will plan mobile campaigns using TV and radio in Italy and organize a Village in the most important cities to involve the mass market not just sailing fans. Technically it is a new level playing field, the boats are exciting, the format ensures close racing and expenditure is kept under control by limiting the available design led performance advantage and putting the emphasis on the sailing. Our team is coming together well and is looking like a formidable lineup, an exciting mix of people who are a pleasure to work with."
Emirates Team New Zealand, Kevin Shoebridge, COO: "Emirates Team New Zealand, twice winner of the America's Cup, is working through the multiple challenges presented by the radical changes in boat and format. The team is happy with the venue but recognizes that translating the vision to reality will require a massive effort by all involved."
Team Korea, Kim Dong-Young, Team Principal: "We are very proud to represent the Republic of Korea's first-ever Challenge for the America's Cup. With a new boat and new format, Korea can enter the America's Cup for the first time with a better chance of success. We look forward to building our team and racing the AC45s starting in Portugal."
Artemis Racing, Terry Hutchinson, Helmsman: "The AC45 is a high performance, powerful boat which also maneuvers well in close situations. The wing definitely adds to the performance of the AC45 and when combined with the rest of the technology onboard, it's certainly a step ahead in multihull sailing. The racing promises to be close and action-packed, as well as demanding for the five crew on board. Likewise, as sailors, we need to be flexible, agile and physically fit, ready for just about anything that the short courses will present."
ORACLE Racing, Russell Coutts, CEO: "These boats, and the bigger AC72s, aim to test the best sailors in the world. It's about pushing boundaries and gaining confidence so that your team is sharper than the next. It could be the difference between winning and losing."

The Science of Sleep is the most fun I had watching a movie in 2007. Written and directed by Michel Gondry, it's a trip to just sit back and watch the stuff that pours out of this guy's head. The same goes for the main character of the movie. About half the movie consists of his dream life where everything is created from clay, yarn, cardboard, cellophane, dried macaroni — the kind of things kids create in art class, but fully animated and interactive. An accurate subtitle for the movie would be When Imagination Runs Wild.
The movie shares some of the same look and feel of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (which Gondry co-wrote and directed). It has some sadness underlying it, too, but leans more towards the comedic side due in large part to the likeable, childish performance of Gael Garica Bernal. The movie is full of an unusual, infectious, innocent energy. Some might think of The Science of Sleep as a love story, but it's more about the exploration of the inner world of a guy who has a lot of growing up to do. Sort of. (The DVD commentary is strange and funny, too.)

From Jessie Jensen of the blog Bloggity Blog:
A few months ago I sat in front of an older woman on a flight who was cheerfully explaining to her seatmate that she was on her way to visit her new grandson. When the lady asked what the sweet little dear's name was, the grandma clammed up and replied reservedly, "Slate". To some degree, his name diminished her joy. (It came out later that Slate was the younger sibling of Crimson, Indigo, and Sage.)
From a Daily Mail article about life in ancient Rome:
In fact, one of the major sources of [Roman] slaves was probably these thrown-away babies. You can tell that from the names people gave them. One common name was Copreus — it translates as 'found on the dung-heap'. This probably happened more to baby girls than to baby boys.
From John Hewitt of the site PoeWar:
Because my wife is less concerned about a boy being taken "seriously", most of our girl choices so far are conservative, while the boy names are a little more adventurous.
Interesting; the opposite of what parents typically do.
From a Forbes article about the Social Security crisis:
Less than 2 percent of Social Security's budget is spent on administration, most of which goes toward producing the list of most popular baby names.
From Greg Ross of the blog Futility Closet:
But my favourite example is a story told by the American linguist Charles Hockett, who reports that at least one Filipino father, during the American occupation of the Philippines, named his son Ababís — after the patron saint of the United States. But no such saint exists. So what happened?
Well, before the Americans arrived, the Philippines were a Spanish colony, and Spanish was widely spoken. In Spanish, the word for 'saint', when it occurs in a male saint's name, is San — hence all those California place names like San Francisco, San José and San Diego. The Filipino father had noticed that American soldiers, in moments of stress, tended to call upon their saint by exclaiming San Ababís! — or something like that.
– Robert Lawrence Trask, Language: The Basics, 1999
Another from Greg Ross of Futility Closet:
"I once had a student named Usmail, which I at first thought was some Hispanic version of Ishmael," writes CUNY linguist Leonard R.N. Ashley. "It transpired that he had been named for the only contact his family in a remote Puerto Rican village enjoyed with the outside world, the red-white-and-blue truck that came frequently and had painted on its side US Mail."
Here are more names like Usmail.
And here's the first Name Quotes for the Weekend post, from a few weeks ago.

Dr. William Petit, the sole survivor of the home invasion in Cheshire, Connecticut, opened up during an exclusive interview with NBC's "Today" show about the decision to run for the state House of Representatives and about moving forward after the tragedy that took his family nine years ago.
Petit's wife, Jennifer Hawke Petit, and their two daughters, Hayley and Michaela, were killed during a night of horrors in their home in July 2007. Dealing with the survivor's guilt will be part of Petit's life forever, he said when asked.
"It's packaged up and compartmentalized a little bit," he said. "It's sort of like on the top shelf in the closet in a small box and occasionally it comes out and you open the box and have a terrible night or a couple of terrible hours, or a terrible weekend, or whatever the case might be."
"And then you come to grips and talk to your wife, and you talk to your son, and you talk to your family and your friends and you wrap it up again and you put it back in the closet knowing it's probably never going to be gone," Petit said.
He said the time after the murders was difficult. He was made president of the Petit Family Foundation, which was set up to honor the memory of Jennifer, Hayley and Michaela, but getting out of bed was difficult.
"I would basically would be in bed the entire day, then get up, come to the meeting and then, you know, go back to bed," he said.
It was through that foundation that he met Christine Paluf and they married in 2012. Their little boy, William, will be 3 in November.
Petit, who now lives in Plainville, is running as a Republican.
He has been an outspoken supporter of the death penalty and was critical of the state Supreme Court's decision to abolish it. But he said his personal tragedy was not the impetus for running.
"You know, some people still stop and say, 'I know where you stand. You're for the death penalty.' And I say, 'Well, you know, I'm not really running on the death penalty," he said. "So what's important to people is the quality of life, the economy, their jobs, their children's futures."
During an interview with NBC Connecticut last month, the retired endocrinologist said he wants to see state spending reined in. He said he agrees with the layoffs issued by Gov. Dannel Malloy because benefits like health insurance and pensions have gotten out of control.
The seat Petit is running for is now held by Betty Boukus, a Democrat, who has been in office for more than 20 years.

COLUMBUS, OHIO—Luke Moore assisted on what he hoped would be the winning goal by Jonathan Osorio. But, after the Columbus Crew tied the match in the 81st minute he had to do a little extra.
Moore headed in a corner kick by Collen Warner in the 84th minute to give Toronto FC a 3-2 win against Columbus on Saturday. Moore's goal was the last of three scores in the final 31 minutes and gives Toronto a sweep of the three-game season series against the Crew.
"They defend well in the box. They counter well and (have) set pieces," Columbus coach Gregg Berhalter said. "Those three components gave us trouble in all three games."
It was the latter that proved to be the difference.
Moore's fifth goal of the season came under duress. He was blanketed by Crew forward Aaron Schoenfeld but still managed to direct the ball past goalkeeper Steve Clark.
"It happened quickly," Moore said. "It was a great ball by Collen. It had enough pace on it. I think the keeper misread it."
Gilberto gave Toronto (9-7-5) a 1-0 lead in the 43rd minute off a pass from Moore, but the Crew got the equalizer in the second minute of first-half stoppage time on a penalty kick by Federico Higuain.
"The first half we created so many chances to put the game to bed," Toronto coach Ryan Nelsen said. "We just didn't take them and then the penalty gave them a big boost, especially the timing of it. We knew they were going to come out invigorated by that."
Toronto took a 2-1 lead in the 59th minute with Moore the catalyst. He challenged Clark in the box but was denied. The ball bounced off Moore to an unmarked Osorio for the easy goal, his second of the season.
Columbus (6-8-9) made it 2-2 when Justin Meram's long cross ended up skipping past goalkeeper Joe Bendik as he was distracted in front by Schoenfeld's try for the ball.
Toronto was undeterred and Moore's score gave the Reds five goals in the past two games despite the absence of leading scorer Jermain Defoe (11 goals), who is expected to miss two to three more weeks because of a groin injury.
"The mentality of this team is strong," Toronto midfielder Michael Bradley said. "We need to be a little more consistent. To do that we need to be a little more ruthless and determined to walk off fields every week with points."
Nelsen is encouraged by the play of Gilberto, the designated player from Brazil in his first MLS season. On his goal, Moore found Gilberto drifting wide on the left flank.
Gilberto had the angle on Crew defender Giancarlo Gonzalez, a starter for Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup, and beat Clark with pin-point accuracy for his fourth goal.
"Every game Gilberto is getting better," Nelsen said. "We knew Gilberto was finding out the league. It takes the foreign guys a wee bit of a while. He was injured all pre-season so he kind of started a few yards back of everybody else. He's catching up."
The Crew were able to tie the score 1-1 when Justin Morrow was called for a handball, but TFC battled back.
"It shows we can win at any place, including Columbus, which is a very difficult place to play," Nelsen said. "We haven't had much success here ever so to win here twice (this season) is obviously very big."
Toronto next plays at Sporting Kansas City on Aug. 16.
