Another coach preparing to face Colorado expresses respect for the way CU plays good teams close
Boulder — While it might be tedious for Colorado fans to hear as the losses mount, another opposing coach has expressed respect for the progress CU has made under coach Mike MacIntyre.
"They have a good football team, and I think improving by the year," said Southern Cal interim coach Clay Helton, whose Trojans come to Folsom Field Friday night on a three-game winning streak. "I think coach MacIntyre is doing a terrific job. One, with the personnel he's bringing in, and, two, developing it. This is a different Colorado team than we've faced the last couple of years. I know the wins aren't coming to them like they would like, but if you look at the way they've been competing against some really quality teams, they seem like they're in every game. We'd better take a championship attitude into their place … or you'll get beat."
Southern Cal quarterback Cody Kessler threw for 319 yards and seven touchdowns last year against Colorado.
"I just think it's one of those things, sometimes you have great games and sometimes you have off games," Helton said. "We've been fortunate to play at a very efficient level the last couple times we've played Colorado."

Delaware's Bat Program
Bats are one of the most mysterious and least understood groups of mammals.
Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Some of Delaware's tree bat species migrate long distances from summer roosts to their wintering grounds, while our cave bat species fly to the caves and mines of other states to hibernate. In their travels, they have been known to fly over land, along coastlines and over water much like migrating birds. Each spring, our bats return and grow strong after the long drain of winter by feasting on Delaware's insects.
Bats provide a valuable and naturallyorganic service to people - we do not miss the mosquitoes, beetles, moths, and crop pests that bats eat! In fact, to gain the energy needed to nurse their young, female bats can eat the equivalent of their body weight in insects each night. Having a lifespan of 5 to 20 years and raising only one pup per summer (some species have twins), bats are loyal and will return to the same roost every year.
Discover the bats of Delaware; the species we have, how to attract or safely evict them, get information about White-Nose Syndrome, find out what the state is doing for bats, and how you can help!
White-Nose Syndrome in Delaware
Bats hibernating at Fort Delaware and Fort DuPont State Parks were confirmed to have White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) in 2012.

Reporting Bats
Have bats or know where bats spend their days? Let us know! If you see bats flying through your neighborhood on summer nights, try to find their roost nearby first, then report your find to the Division of Fish & Wildlife.

|What I meant was "a big Piper fan" not Carpenter. Carpenter did direct Roddy in the masterpiece "They Live" my mind farted and stunk up the message board, I am a huge Carpenter fan though. Sorry
|Oct 26th, 2010 03:55 PM
|Oh God, this movie seems like heaven. Atomic explosions, sex crazed nurses, professional wrestlers and mutant frogs! I am a big Carpenter fan, and I have never seen this, I will have to remedy that soon.

|I remember they were showing They Live on TBS one night, and they were interviewing Piper before/after the commercials (I really miss shows doing cool stuff like this). He was asked what the worst movie he's ever made was, and he said Hell Comes to Frogtown. Given his track record, ouch.

|Mar 26th, 2010 06:55 PM
A few years back a co-worker and I were talking about movies when he proclaimed Hell comes to Frogtown to be the worst movie he's ever seen. As soon as I found out the plot, and that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was the the star, I knew I had to see it. Luckily I found a copy on DVD(who would have thought) fairly cheap on amazon. I remember watching for the first time and wondering what amount, of what variety of drugs did the screenplay writer have to ingest to cook up this plot.
Crippling ball pain indeed.

|If you guys are gonna review movies this bad, then you need to review Captain America. It came out in 1990 (I think), looks like it was filmed in the 70's, and may be even worse than 3 Dev Adam. Let me put it this way: it doesn't turn Spider-man into a multipying villian, but it does turn Captain America into a car-jacker and a total pussy. Oh, and it's horrendously stupid.
|Mar 25th, 2010 05:38 PM
|I picked up my copy of the DVD in the Bartel Drugs bargain bin (you can find all sorts of sweet movies in there). It's so cheap that the opening menu screen only has one button to select, and that ones labeled "STRAT".
|Mar 25th, 2010 03:28 AM
|So the postapocalyptic world is not one where you have to avoid a horde of zombies or the chaos of dwindling resources, but rather one where the main objective is to get captured by a bunch of ladies and bang them? I'm in.

|I remember watching the Series of Frog Towns. Each one I kept on waiting, and waiting for Greg the Hammer Valentine, Ricky Steamboat, Ric Flair, Jimmy Snukka, or even the Hulkster who he'd had notable feuds with to be part of one of these films. Unfortunately, IT never happened. It also made me want to grow up to be a rapist like Piper.

As the world prepares for 'The Hobbit,' New Zealand prepares for the world
It has been nearly a decade since Middle-earth last hit the big screens. This week it returns as the backdrop to the adventures of Bilbo Baggins et al, in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
It evokes not only a huge sigh of anticipatory relief from Tolkien fans around the world, but also kicks off a boom in "Hobbit tourism" to Wellington, which has been renamed "The Middle of Middle-earth" for the three weeks around the premiere (November 28).
So what can the masses of fans who will descend on the capital expect to find?
Hobbit tourism
Following "LOTR: The Return of the King" in 2003, 63,200 visitors participated in Lord of the Rings activities (namely location tours). Since then an average of 47,000 visitors have visited film locations each year.
The Hobbit trilogy is going to see those numbers ramped up, with the New Zealand government fostering a strong relationship with Warner Bros.
Warner Brothers is spending NZ$100 million (US$81.5 million) in marketing "The Hobbit," NZ$12 million of which is being offset by the New Zealand government. As part of the deal, tourism ads will appear in the front of DVD and theater screenings.
Tourism New Zealand recently launched its new campaign "100% Middle-earth, 100% Pure New Zealand," which was allotted NZ$10 million of the department's NZ$65 million annual marketing budget.
"Since the launch of our '100% Middle-earth, 100% Pure New Zealand' campaign, our research has showed that 79 percent of potential travelers who have seen it say it increases their desire to come here," says Catherine Bates, Tourism New Zealand's general manager.
"Two-thirds say they have a better opinion of New Zealand as a holiday destination having seen the advertisement."
More on CNN: Wellington to be renamed for Hobbit premiere
See, do and buy Middle-earth
From the release of "LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring" in 2001, Lord of the Rings-themed movie location tours have sprung up in Wellington, Rotorua and Matamata, Queenstown and Glenorchy (numerous film locations), Christchurch (Rohan) and Tongariro National Park (Mordor).
Film locations around Wellington include Kaitoke Park (Rivendell), Mount Victoria (Hobbits escaping The Shire) and Harcourt Park (The Gardens of Isengard) among many others.
New Zealand's movie-making industry, affectionately known as "Wellywood," is located on Miramar peninsula. It houses a collection of closely associated companies, including Weta Workshop (props and physical effects) and Weta Digital (computer animation and other digital effects), Stone Street Studios and Park Road Post Production.
While the studios are inconspicuous, they are not hidden, and during production it's possible to catch occasional glimpses of filming on outdoor sets, sets under construction, or actors coming in and out of the studios.
Premiere week
For the film's premiere, Wellington has been temporarily renamed "The Middle of Middle-earth."
Banners with a custom logo are prominently displayed around the city, along with characters from the film. Hotels around Courtenay Place are already nearly full for the occasion and the nightlife zone is much livelier than usual.
David Perks, chief executive of Positively Wellington Tourism, is excited about the city's premiere offerings.
"Wellington is a city that loves dressing up for major events and is certainly donning its glad rags for the world premiere of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,'" he says.
"As well as the installations that have been revealed at Wellington Airport, NZ Post and Embassy Theatre, the city is decked out in celebratory street flags, hosting the Hobbit Artisan Market and i-SITE Visitor Centre staff will be fittingly dressed from this Friday (23 November)."
More on CNN: Hanging out in Hobbiton: The Hobbit's stunning movie set
"Local businesses are getting involved there and through a window dressing competition, with entries going up from Wednesday (November 21).
"We know a number of restaurants and hotels are also preparing hearty Middle of Middle-earth menus and specially themed cocktails.
"Warner Bros has been extremely welcoming and accommodating, providing bunting, posters and t-shirts for the window dressing competition, along with a blockbuster prize of two tickets to the world premiere for the winning business."
New Zealand Post has issued a set of official Hobbit stamps commemorating the event featuring Bilbo, Gollum, Elrond, Radagast the Wizard, Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf.
A series of Hobbit coins has also been issued as legal New Zealand tender.
From Saturday, November 24, through the premiere on Wednesday, November 28, Wellington will host The Hobbit Artisan Market, showcasing 30 artists who worked on the films.
Market crafts include everything from glassblowing and leatherwork to make-up and prosthetics. There will also be contests, Hobbit-themed food, and wares for sale from the Weta Cave. The market will run from noon to 6 p.m. daily.
Sunday through Tuesday, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the three films from The Lord of the Rings will be shown in the park on a large screen for free.
Several parties are planned around town this week; most notably the Premiere Costume Party hosted by Red Carpet Tours and TheOneRing.net, at the Amora Hotel on November 26.
A number of notable guests from the films are expected to make appearances.

The world premiere spectacle is expected to run from 3 p.m.-6:30 p.m. on November 28, with a red carpet spanning 500 meters along Courtenay Place, from the Reading Cinema to Embassy Theatre. Both theaters will screen the film for VIPs.
Sir Peter Jackson and collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens will join cast members walking the red carpet to greet fans and sign autographs, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Performers and a show are expected on the carpet, although the details are top-secret. Notably missing from the carpet will be Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf).
The first public showing of "The Hobbit" will be at midnight on the evening of December 12, screening across New Zealand.
The future of Middle-earth tourism
New Zealand's Middle-earth tourism will continue well into the future.
"Our marketing approach aims to show potential travelers that the fantasy of Middle-earth is in fact the reality of New Zealand," says Catherine Bates.
"There is a whole world of experiences to be had and people to meet within the movie-scene style landscapes."
She adds that this "will continue for the foreseeable future across key markets; adopting a heavier Middle-earth tone around key events such as the movie and DVD releases."
With a whole trilogy of movies to be released through 2014, additional filming planned, new movie locations to open as tourist destinations and national treasures like Sir Peter and Weta's Sir Richard Taylor to stoke New Zealand's creativity, New Zealand film tourism appears to be guaranteed.

Filming 'The Hobbit'
JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit is set approximately 60 years prior to The Lord of The Rings and tell the story of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, his 13 dwarf companions and Gandalf the Grey as they seek to reclaim the lost dwarf kingdom of Erebor from the loathsome dragon, Smaug.
Originally planned as two films, toward the end of principal filming it was announced that The Hobbit would be split in three as: "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (December 12, 2012), "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (December 13, 2013) and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" (July 18, 2014).
Directed once again by New Zealand native Sir Peter, the trilogy has been filmed (although a few scenes yet remain for filming) exclusively in New Zealand, just like "The Lord of the Rings."
The new films break ground in both audio and video. Not only were they shot digitally in 3D, but "The Hobbit" is also the first major motion picture to be shot at 48 frames-per-second, which is double the normal frame rate; allowing for greater clarity and image depth. The film is the second to be mixed in Dolby's cutting-edge new Atmos sound format.
Everyone in New Zealand seems to know someone who worked in the films. The two trilogies have been such a massive effort that craftspeople and extras were recruited from throughout the country.
Although cast and crew sign confidentiality agreements, few can contain their excitement about working on "The Hobbit," nor their admiration for the films' director, Sir Peter.
"[Sir Peter] treated all of us extras, and the animals on set, all very well," said an extra from The Hobbit's Lake-town set. "[He] was very kind; he gave us all respect alike, whether the we were stars, or extras and crew, or even the animals. And I've never eaten so well in all my life!"

Singapore production company Mythopolis Pictures announced the production of Tony Kern's horror film Afterimages at the on-going ScreenSingapore conference.
The film, which won the Network of Asian Fantastic Film (NAFF) Award at this year's PiFan film festival in South Korea, is currently in production and set to complete principal photography by the end of December. A theatrical release in Singapore is scheduled for August 2013.
Written and directed by Kern (A Month Of Hungry Ghosts), Afterimages is about a group of artists who burn cameras as offerings to the dead and in return receive a collection of footages from hell in the form of short horror movies.
The five stories are called Ghost Pool Lef, Xiao Bao Bao, Skin Deep, Rekindling and Burnt Offerings. They all involve local superstitions and urban legends.
"While Afterimages is set in Singapore, the location remains unnamed in the movie. It is simply a modern metropolis city somewhere in Asia," said Kern.
"The protagonists - the film students - are international students from different nationalities. So the backstory of the legends is quickly set-up by the students explaining it at the start of each scene - the taboo, the implied horror, the consequences. And of course, events start to unravel quickly and bad things happen."

Mount Stakes Climber's Log
Diggler - Jun 3, 2015 4:12 pm Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2015Nice night-time stroll
From San Antonio Rd. Took wrong branch of road once, which led me to a long-abandoned homestead. After I found the actual right road, it was a cruise. Nice views of the Central Valley. No signs of any No Trespassing signs, & any gates were open.
mpjones - Dec 30, 2012 4:08 pm Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2012A nice moonlit hike on the 0% route
Pretty cold out there last night. There was snow at the summit, but avoidable. Strangely, I didn't see a single no trespassing sign. I did not find a summit register.
Jonodo - Nov 23, 2010 12:05 pm Date Climbed: Nov 22, 2010San Antonio Road
Hiked in from the gate at San Antonio Road. I didn't see a single "No Tresapssing" sign at the gate or along the road, so I guess we were ok. Did this one as a night hike under a full moon but storm clouds obscured much of the light and views. The only wildlife we saw was a skunk, and way to close! Very fun though. Hiked with Erik.
mrchad9 - Apr 26, 2010 2:25 pm Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2007Backcountry Weekend
Did it over the Coe Backcountry Weekend. Unfortunately it was a dry year and the hills were brown, and over 90 degrees. Had good company though. The ranchowners mid-way through the hike were nice enough give us a ride a couple miles to their property and let up pass through w/o using the trail detour on the way out.
David Naylor - Apr 16, 2010 10:49 pm Date Climbed: Apr 16, 2010San Antonio Road through Gun Club Lands
I parked on the South side of the cattle guard which is approximately one hundred yards south of the gate which leads towards the Hunting Club Lands as well as Shanti Ashrama. There were native Tule Elk in the Valley when I arrived and wildflowers in full bloom so I picked a nice day. I started the hike around 12PM. I used the Mt. Stakes quad as my map and most of the fireroads exist as per the map. Use your intuition and you'll find your way. Heavy rain this year so a lot of stream crossings all the way to the point where the fireroads ascend into the chapparal slopes. I placed a summit register at Mt. Stakes in a cheap tupperware container and put underneath rocks near the USGS marker. Hope it survives a while. Also bagged Black Mtn, which is just .7 miles to the North. Tule Elk were seen again on my exit. No problem with my truck. Stats: 13 Miles, 2200 Feet elevation gain. Took about 4.25 hours. Once you leave the valley the chapparal slopes allow for increasingly expansive views as you ascend to the summit of Mt. Stakes. A highly enjoyable solo journey into a rough gem of the always appealing Diablo Range.
Zinge - Jan 29, 2008 11:17 pm Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2007The easy way
Summited at night, alone, in fear of being attacked by cows. Started to snow on the way down. No ranchers, no guns!
Matt Worster - Mar 28, 2006 9:18 pmBackcountry Weekend
Long way to go, but amazing wildflowers were rewarding. We came through Coe State Park, which necessitates a 22 mile hike followed by a 12 mile walk-out. Phew!
adk46r - Nov 15, 2005 2:46 amRoute Climbed: The Gun Club route Date Climbed: December 30,2000
I remember being half-scared because of the sounds of guns going off. Otherwise, this is probably the easiest route available.
fram - Jul 19, 2005 2:20 amRoute Climbed: From Bell Station entrance Date Climbed: April 2004
Used a bike until the upper Red Creek (beginning of Mt Stakes trail) then hiked to the summit using "almost" legal route. Took 16 hrs total, 65 miles roundtrip. Going through Orestimba and Red Creek canyon is the most beautiful experience
Abraxas - May 23, 2005 10:56 pmRoute Climbed: Gun Club route Date Climbed: May 22, 2005
Most difficult part of the hike was navigating through a massive herd of cows as the sun was setting. They were menacing in their numbers!
The trail is easy to follow, although marking all the listed junctions found on a Topo map (and putting them in a GPS unit) was quite useful. The top ridgeline is like a super-highway of jeep roads--what were they thinking? Whatever the case, the summit is pretty uninspiring, but the hike is quite nice, including the portion through the gun club lands (probably not nice if there are people actually using the land, though).
Went over to nearby Black Mountain (3/4 mile north on the Topo map), but was disappointed to discover there is no USGS marker there (confirmed later when I checked the USGS database). All in all, an unexpectedly enjoyable hike, with a big sigh of relief upon returning to see my car still intact.
blmcclain - Apr 1, 2005 6:10 pmRoute Climbed: HCP via Mt. Stakes trail Date Climbed: 13 March 2005
Summited this peak with rgreene. It was a nice casual walk through the park. Beware, the jeep roads on the TOPO are not maintained with the state park. They're there if you look for them but very overgrown. Nice warm up hike to get some miles on the legs.
Bob Burd - Mar 30, 2005 11:26 pmRoute Climbed: San Antonio Road through the gun club Date Climbed: Jan 13, 2004
A pretty easy hike if you don't get hassled for being on private property. Trip Report
rgreene - Mar 30, 2005 3:01 amRoute Climbed: HCP via Mt. Stakes Trail Date Climbed: 13 March 2005
The dual ridges, bushwhacking, and length of the trip made it an adventure. High points were (several times) stumbling into a clearing while following a non-existant jeep road, and finding a nice "Mt. Stakes Trail" intersection marker for another non-existant trail.

Hard Charging Spaniard Wins First European Tour Title
That was Rafael Cabrera Bello talking after winning the Austrian Golf Open at Fontana Golf Club on the outskirts of Vienna, his first European Tour title.
And Cabrera Bello was exactly right. Why would he dare entertain any thoughts of winning? The Spaniard was eight shots back going into the final round. Speaking of eight, Cabrera Bello had also missed eight of his last 10 cuts. He wasn't exactly a favorite to win—or even to play on the weekend.
So, what happened?
The 25-year-old shot a 60 in the final round. (He had an eagle putt for 59 on the 18th green.) Cabrera Bello humbled the course, the field—even himself—and was in a state of shock when the tournament ended and he realized he had won the thing.
"It's just amazing—I played the best golf of my life and I can't believe it," he said.
The final-round 60 bested his previous lowest European Tour score of 64.

Wonder if he's Emma's bro? She just made it to the final round of LPGA Q-School when she finished 4th at the CA sectional qualifier.
They are brother and sister. Emma plays on LET. She made the finals of LPGA Q School last year also. She is a powerful ball striker. Their family lives on the Canary Islands

You could I guess look at it this way, if he had played an even-par round, he would not even have finished in the top-20 in the final listings. Surely that has got to be one of the most incredible victories. I wonder what poor Benn Barham must be thinking. He did all the hard work through the week, kept himself in contention and in the end let it slip by. The par-5 18th was a hole most players managed a birdie on, so even though he was a shot back heading into the final hole, it was quite within his grasp to manage that birdie. But then, I guess nothing is guaranteed when you are heading into the final hole of a tournament with everyone else having finished and only you are left. He could not manage to birdie a single par-5 on the final day and a two-under was never going to be good enough, not when a man was intent on charging up the leaderboard like a raging bull. And look at the difference. The next best round on the day was a five-under. Clearly he had performed head and shoulders better than the others. Fantastic win for the Spaniard!

It's February, and that means one thing, CHOCOLATE! These chocolate tartlets have a buttery cocoa fluted shell and rich, decadent dark chocolate truffle filling with milk chocolate, white chocolate and biscotti chunks mixed in. I was excited to use my little fluted tart pans since I purchased them in 2009 for Tuesday with Dorie's poached pear tartlets.
The chocolate truffle tartlet recipe was surprisingly simple though it had several steps and required refrigeration between them but it went fast and I was able to knock these out during my kiddos nap. I took four tarts to a ladies game night, left one for the hubs and the monkey to share on their "daddy/daughter Valentine movie night" and took one to my boss. (I am such a kiss up!)
I had so much fun making these and I kept meaning to take photos, I really did. But, I was in a rush and couldn't find my camera. Then someone at game night promised to send me a photo and yet, I still don't have one. See my best replacement effort below.
Game night ladies, the hubby, the munchkin, and my boss all loved this dessert. I really liked it, too and (don't tell anyone) I'm not a huge chocolate fan.
I have really missed baking and am so thankful to be back in TWD. It feels great to spend some time creating something I can share with others. It is a much more productive activity than watching Real Housewives of Orange County and playing Word with Friends. (I'm tangerinetart on WWF, play me!)
This week's Tuesday's with Dorie - Baking with Julia is hosted by Jessica, Spike, Jaime, and Steph. You can find the recipe and some really impressive photography on their amazing blogs. See you next time as we tackle Rugelach.

Dinara Safina Qualify for Season-Ending Championships0 comments Posted by Just Tennis at 5:48 PM
The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour announced the news on Thursday, just one day before the pair is scheduled to meet in the semifinals of the US Open.
The world's top eight singles players and top four doubles teams from the 2008 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour season will compete for the Championships title and a share of the record prize money of $4.45 million.
Sony Ericsson Championships debutante Safina and 2001 champion Williams join previously qualified Serbs Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic in the singles line-up. Williams earned 3,130 points and Safina earned 3,123 points in the Race to the Sony Ericsson Championships standings.
"I am delighted to have qualified again for the Sony Ericsson Championships," said Serena Williams in a statement released by the Tour. "It's always an honor to play at the year-end Championships, and I'm looking forward to playing in Doha where I can hopefully show my best tennis."
This season, the 26-year-old American claimed three singles titles at the Canara Bank Bangalore Open in Bangalore, the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami and the Family Circle Cup in Charleston. She was runner-up at Wimbledon, where she fell to sister Venus in her 11th career Grand Slam singles final.
"I am really happy about qualifying for the Sony Ericsson Championships," Safina said. "I think this is the goal for every player to reach the Championships at the end of the year and finally my dream has come true."
Safina has played her best season to date, winning Tour singles titles at the Qatar Telecom German Open in Berlin, where she defeated World No. 1 Justine Henin, the East West Bank Classic presented by Herbalife in Los Angeles and at the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Montreal for her sixth, seventh and eighth career titles.
She reached her first Grand Slam singles final at Roland Garros, finished runner-up at the Ordina Open at 's-Hertogenbosch and was the singles silver medalist at the Beijing Olympics.
"I'm delighted that Serena and Dinara have both qualified for this year's Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha," said Larry Scott, CEO of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
"Dinara has had a fantastic run this year and absolutely deserves a spot in her first Sony Ericsson Championships. Serena is without doubt a true global icon and displaying wonderful tennis this season. Having both players showcase their talent in Doha will be great for tennis fans around the world."
"We're very pleased to see that Dinara and Serena have both qualified for the 2008 Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha," said Aldo Liguori, Corporate Vice President and Head of Global Communications & PR at Sony Ericsson.
"They are both top seeds in the game and their considerable talent makes them fantastic ambassadors for women's tennis. We're sure they will make the season finale to the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour one of the most exciting yet."
Sony Ericsson Championships is scheduled to take place at the Khalifa International Tennis Complex in Doha, Qatar, November 4-9, 2008.

A prominent election lawyer has filed a referendum to block SB 202 -- the controversial legislation just enacted to move all initiatives to the November ballot.
But one wonders why. Since the referendum is almost certainly meaningless.
How's that?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Because the referendum can't block the action it wants to block--the move of ballot initiatives off the June 2012 primary ballot and onto the November 2012 general election.
Here's why.
The plain language of the constitution says that initiatives appear on general election and special election ballots.
But, as the Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters recounts in a column on this issue, four decades ago Jerry Brown, as the Secretary of State, had primary elections classified as general elections so that initiatives could be placed upon primary ballots.
This law, signed by Gov. Brown, effectively reversed Secretary of State Brown's decision.
Now typically, a referendum, once it qualified, would suspend the new law. But in this case, that doesn't mean that initiatives would go back on the June ballot.
What it means is that the Secretary of State -- now Debra Bowen, a Democrat -- would get to decide.
For political reasons (Democrats backed SB 202 and Republicans opposed it), practical reasons (reversing this change would create more work for her office) and constitutional ones (the constitution still says initiatives belong on general election ballots), she would have little incentive to put initiatives back on next June's ballot.
So whatever happens with this referendum, voters will only see initiatives on next November ballot.
So what's the point of the referendum?
(A counter view comes from one of the state's leading initiative lawyers, Tom Hiltachk, who argues at Fox & Hounds Daily that the constitutional language doesn't matter as much in this case because election law -- the election law affected by SB 202 and this referendum -- make June a "general election" for legal purposes. We will see who's right -- if the referendum's backers can qualify the measure, which won't be easy).

Written By:
Peter Ghali, iContact Product Manager of Integrations
As you may have noted recently, iContact has been investing in mobile applications to help our customers grow their lists, send messages and track their email marketing.
Understanding Mobile
Before you begin developing your mobile presence, you'll need to decide if you want to build a native application or build a mobile web presence. There are pros and cons of each option, so you'll need to research this carefully.
The mobile world is also evolving at a very fast pace. Having a mobile application will require that you constantly monitor the mobile landscape. For example, as a new mobile OS is launched, you'll need to make sure your application works on it. Otherwise you run the risk of your customers upgrading their phones and then having your application not work.
For our mobile applications, we looked to understand how the mobile user has different needs than our normal web users. The mobile user is not necessarily interested in doing everything they would normally do with their normal web browser in our application. We had to pick and choose what made sense for the mobile experience. For example, we focused on convenience (easy to use search and add contacts from your phone's address book) and sharing (e.g., you can email your tracking results to share with others).
Mobile application development is very challenging. Each platform brings its own set of tools, its own programming language and its own set of capabilities. If you are looking at developing a mobile application, you'll need to make a build vs. outsource decision depending on your capabilities and interest in learning these disparate technologies.
Most mobile applications "connect" via APIs to your core application. This foundation, if you will, is absolutely critical. At iContact, we first invested heavily in launching API 2.0 in 2009. It is on top of that strong foundation that we have built our mobile applications (as well as iContact for Salesforce).
Like web development, you'll need to be mindful of different screen sizes, device capabilities and resolutions. You'll need to test your application across all of these variables in order to make sure it works well and looks good. For example, we initially ran into some image quality problems on certain large/high resolution Android devices that were not present in other devices. We had to adjust the size of the images in order to fix the problem.
I hope you found this helpful!

Harvard looks to cap a season that already includes Eastern and Harvard/Yale championships with a Henley title Sunday.
Henley Royal Regatta Official Site | Ladies'
Challenge Plate Draw | Temple
Challenge Cup Draw | Prince Albert
Challenge Cup Draw
Day 1 Recap | Day 2 Recap | Day 3 Recap | Sunday Schedule
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England—The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight won for the second straight day Saturday to advance to the Ladies' Challenge Plate final at the Henley Royal Regatta. Harvard's other crews lost their semifinal matchups, but a pair of alumni moved on to Sunday's finals.
The Crimson varsity led Leander Boat Club B throughout the race, winning by a 3.25-length margin and finishing in 6:38. Harvard moves on to face the combined crew from Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University, which includes former Crimson oarsman Simon Gawlik '09. That boat defeated Berliner Ruderclub of Germany and Imperial College, London by three-quarters of a length. Harvard and Oxford/Oxford Brookes will race Sunday at 3:10 p.m. local time, 10:10 a.m. Eastern.
Harvard is making its ninth final appearance in 10 tries in the Ladies' Challenge Plate and seeking its seventh title in the event.
Henrik Rummel '09, who sat two seats away from Gawlik in Harvard's victorious 2007 Ladies' Plate entry, also qualified for a Henley final. He is racing as a part of the Princeton Training Center four without coxswain. That boat topped Canada's Victoria City Rowing Club and Shawnigan Lake School A entry by a length and will face Club France for the Stewards' Challenge Cup.
Harvard's freshman eight fell to Washington by 1.5 lengths in the semifinals of the Temple Challenge Cup. The varsity four, meanwhile, returned to action following a day off Friday. In that Prince Albert Challenge Cup race, the Crimson lost by the slim margin of two-thirds of a length to University College, Dublin.
Malcolm Howard'05 saw his run in the Diamond Challenge Sculls end at the hands of world-champion Mahé Drysdale of New Zealand.

The FabriTRAK® Acoustical System
Wall Substrate
From wall to ceiling, drywall to concrete, even from straight to curved walls…No matter what the Wall Substrate happens to be, FabriTRAK ® is able to be mounted by our network of professional installers.
FabriTRAK® Profiles
FabriTRAK® is available in Square, Bevel and Radius profiles from 3/8" to 2" in depth. There are over 50 types of Trak to suit the need for any installation. Visit the Trak Profile Catalog to see what Trak works best for your project.
Choose between Standard Fiberglass, FabriFILL™ Cotton, FabriTACK™, or TerraCORE™. The infill is installed within the FabriTRAK® framework and can be combined with FabriBLOK™ for the total acoustical solution. Find more information in our Product Literature Library
The fabric is stretched over the FabriTRAK® framework and tucked into FabriTRAK®'s locking jaws without the use of adhesives or mechanical fasteners. This allows for future fabric replacement while not disturbing the other components.
Moldings and Trim
The diverse line of FabriTRAK® profiles enables a smooth, crisp, custom tailored transition into adjacent surfaces.
FabriTRAK® is the Acoustical Solution
FabriTRAK® was invented in 1977 and quickly became the market leader in providing upholstered and acoustical wall treatments and finishes throughout the United States. Today, FabriTRAK® Systems Inc., headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, has an active licensed installation dealer network throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Rim and Asia.
In today's world, acoustics are playing an ever more critical part in the design and construction of interior spaces. FabriTRAK®'s diversity allows it to meet an acoustical consultant's exacting specific demands and criteria for a project.
This can be accomplished by using a variety or combination of available or specified substrate materials and fabrics to achieve the acoustical balance needed – either reflective or absorptive. Furthermore, because FabriTRAK® is assembled on-site, the project's acoustical consultant may "fine tune" the profile design in order to ensure the performance characteristics of the room. These delicate adjustments help make FabriTRAK® the "Sound Solution" in interior finishes.

Linebacker Elliot Coffey
Wide receiver Mark Dell
Wide receiver Cameron Kenney
Tight end Anthony Miller
Defensive end Cyril Obiozor
Running back Xavier Omon
Safety Anthony Perkins
Tackle Mike Remmers
Cornerback Ramzee Robinson
Fullback Austin Sylvester
Guard Austin Wuebbels
There were no real big surprises here. Paxton possibly was one but the writing was on the wall when your coach says this about the other long snapper. "We brought (Brewer) in with the idea that we liked his ability," Head Coach John Fox said. "He's an exceptional athlete." This does mean Brewer will be the team's Long Snapper.
The cut of Fullback Austin Sylvester gives Gronk the inside look at the fullback spot if we intend to carry a true fullback.
Also RB Omon was cut after getting no touches the last two games. He may be seen later in the year depending on injuries. And we lost Cyril Obiozor who only had a cool name.
The final roster move was putting Jason Hunter on to injury reserve. Hopefully we see the same toughness and aggression from him next year.
Broncos Vs Cardinals PreviewThe Broncos hit the road as they head into their final preseason game against the Cards. Since it is the final preseason game of the year the starters are not expected to play much if at all. And with the Broncos needing to cut 20 players by Friday the bottom end of the roster will be fighting hard. Here are a few of those battles to watch:
At quarterback it really depends on Hanie. If he has a poor game and Osweiler and especially Weber have very good games the Broncos may rethink their backup quarterback plan.
Running back, hopefully someone steps up and takes Lance Ball's position. We should see plenty of snaps for Ball, Moreno, Hillman and JJ. Let's see who gets those final spots on the roster.
At Wide Receiver I think we will see a lot from Caldwell, Hill, Robinson, Orton and Willis. Caldwell needs to have a good game and shake off the drops. Same goes for Hill. Personally I want to see Robinson have a big game, though that probably will mean we can't stash him on the practice squad.
Fullback, will Gronk have a big day?
Offensive Line, who of the backups will wade out of the crap.
Defensive End, Ayers, Beal, Blatnick are fighting for the last two spots. Ayers and Beal should have them locked up but they need solid performances.
Defensive Tackle. Unrein, Siliga, Jackson and Garland are fighting for one maybe two positions. This will be one of the hottest battles on game day. At the moment Unrein and Jackson have the inside track on the positions. Garland probably goes to the practice squad leaving Siliga needing a huge game.
In the Linebacker corps the guys to watch are Nate Irving, Mike Mohamed, Steve Johnson, Keith Brooking and Danny Trevathan. The main linebackers fighting for spots are Mohamed, Johnson, Brooking and maybe Trevathan. Mohamed and Brooking may not play so Johnson needs another good outing.
Another tough battle is at Safety. Bruton should have a spot. But Bush, Leonhard and Duke are battling for maybe one spot.
For the Corners I would say Florence, Bolden, Carter and Squid are challenging for the final roster positions. Bolden should be safe but Florence must do something to impress after such a poor game last week. Squid needs to do something on Special Teams to make this team.
Well that is it from me and Go Broncos! ~ Aussie.

Castile-La Mancha, an adventure for your children
Castile-La Mancha has a multitude of attractions for visitors: its world-class monuments, varied natural landscapes, its festivities, theatre festivals, areas for sport and its traditional arts and crafts.
Toledo landscape
Are you looking for a holiday where you can enjoy your children? What's more, what if it were the type of holiday they dream of? It would be an unforgettable trip for the whole family. Would you like to give it a try? Ask them if they would like to be the characters in the following story...but be careful, because once they hear it, there will be no turning back. You will simply have to make the trip.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved technology, who believed that there was nothing better than spending the day playing video games with his friends. One day, his parents took him on holiday, and he had to leave his friends and his games behind. He thought he would be bored, but he ended up becoming a great explorer. He discovered new territory, saw animals he had never seen before, learnt the art of orienteering in the forests, rode in a 4x4 and took part in adventure sports. He discovered Castile-La Mancha, a region located in central Spain.
This is really a true story, because Castile-La Mancha gives children the opportunity to discover nature. There are all kinds of activities especially designed for them. The traditional routes are complemented by sessions devoted to skills like mushroom gathering, artistic drawing and photography, or spectacular shows put on by nature that they could probably never even imagine, such as the deer rutting season, the arrival of the cranes and the black vultures in the Montes de Toledo Mountains.
Exploring the Cabañeros and Tablas de Daimiel national parks, or nature reserves like Lagunas de Ruidera and Alto Tajo, will let them discover endangered animal species like the brown bear, the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle.
Action-packed fun
You can propose a mission for them, too: they can be field explorers in any of the five provinces of Castile-La Mancha (Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo), because all have orienteering races for children aged 3 to 14. They are a real challenge for children, who will have fun and learn while they feel like true adventurers.
If they want more action, there are many other options: a quad bike circuit in Buendía (Cuenca), another one for go-karting in Cabanillas del Campo (Guadalajara), 4x4 and horse-riding routes, water parks and lakes for scuba diving in the vicinity of the Lagunas de Ruidera nature reserve.
The most entertaining way to learn
Even cultural activities will become a happy memory for your children, because they also afford opportunities for hands-on fun. In Albacete, they can take part in the workshops on energy and work with audiovisual materials and scale models at the wind farms in the Sierra de Higueruela Mountains. In Ciudad Real, they can discover all about the world of private investigation in the Detective Museum, located in Torre de Juan Abad, or the magic of the mills at the Wind Mill Museum, where they can see them in operation on the first Sunday of every month. In Cuenca, they can participate in the International Electrography Museum's creative workshops using new technologies. Finally, they can learn how other children around the world have fun, and how past generations did, through an exhibition of over 5,000 toys at the Castile-La Mancha Toy Museum.
Relaxation is also possible
Do you think you will be able to keep up with the kids in their fast-paced and exciting role as explorers in a new world? Castile-La Mancha can lend a hand with other, more relaxing alternatives that everyone can enjoy. How about a leisurely train ride through the historic quarter of Toledo and along the beautiful banks of the Tagus River? A delightful way to end the day is to take a rest under a blanket of stars. If you would prefer a more professional view of the night sky, make sure to visit the Cuenca Planetarium or the Yebes Astronomy Centre.
Are you still not sure about what destination to choose for your next family holiday? Tell your children this story, and they are sure to make the decision for you. "Mum, we want to be explorers!"
You can organise all of these activities with the help of the tourist offices of Castile-La Mancha.

Silent Moons Camp
Silent Moons Camp is a ruin located in Central Skyrim. This is a Bandit camp located on a straight line drawn from Whiterun to Morthal.
If you go up the stairs, you will find the lunar forge along with a workbench and two books titled "Notes on the Lunar Forge" and "Light Armour Forging." The Notes give only some clue as to how one would create a Lunar Weapon as well as the effects of said weapons. The book on Light Armour, however, will increase your smithing skill by one if you have yet to read it for the first time. You will also find some iron ingots lying around the forge.
Once you go into the entrance at the bottom of the stairs, you will find a fire with some sleeping bags around it. There are shelves and barrels with loot, and down a tunnel you will find some bandits. This camp is relatively small, and there are more bandits outside than inside. You will find a door that is adept locked, behind which there are lots of potions and a ladder to a room outside that is unreachable from the outside because there is a metal grate that you can lift by operating a chain switch. You will find some various mushrooms and flowers and some lunar weapons which do extra fire damage when it's nighttime.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
|Device: Sustained-Release Intraocular Drug Delivery System
|Phase 3
CMV retinitis occurs in 20 to 30 percent of patients with AIDS and is the leading cause of visual loss in these patients. At present, ganciclovir and foscarnet are the only drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of CMV retinitis. The therapeutic regimen for each drug consists of a 2-week induction period followed by daily maintenance intravenous infusions. Unfortunately, CMV retinitis usually progresses despite daily maintenance therapy, and both drugs are associated with significant systemic toxicity that often limits their therapeutic usefulness. As an alternative to intravenous administration, direct intravitreal injections of ganciclovir have been studied and have been shown to be effective in delaying the progression of CMV retinitis. The short half-life of the drug, however, necessitates one to two intraocular injections a week to maintain therapeutic levels. Widespread adoption of this technique has been limited because of the logistical difficulties and inherent risks associated with numerous intravitreal injections.
A drug delivery system capable of continuous delivery of ganciclovir into the vitreous cavity has been developed. The device consists of a 6-mg pellet of ganciclovir that is coated with a series of polymers with variable permeability to ganciclovir. The device is surgically implanted through the pars plana.
Thirty eyes of 26 patients with unilateral non-sight-threatening CMV retinitis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) immediate therapy with a device designed to release ganciclovir into the vitreous cavity a over approximately a 4-month period or (2) deferred treatment. In patients with bilateral non-sight-threatening CMV retinitis, one eye was randomly assigned to receive a ganciclovir implant with the other eye assigned to deferred treatment. (Note: The original trial design included a third randomized arm using a 2 ug/hour device. This arm was dropped for logistical reasons after enrolling two patients.)
Patients assigned to immediate treatment underwent surgery to implant the ganciclovir device within 48 hours of enrollment and baseline photographs. Postoperatively, patients were evaluated the next day, weekly for 2 weeks, and then every 2 weeks until progression of CMV retinitis occurred. At each examination, in both eyes, visual acuity with current correction and best correction was determined using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study eye charts; intraocular pressure was determined; evidence of inflammation or cataract was evaluated; and all retinal findings were documented. Any adverse event considered even possibly related to the device or to the implantation procedure was documented. Standardized nine-field fundus photographs were taken at each 2-week visit. The ganciclovir implant was exchanged at 32 weeks or earlier if progression of CMV retinitis occurred.
The primary end point was time to CMV retinitis progression, defined as the time (days) from initiating therapy until the advancement of 750-um over a 750 um front of any border of any lesion was observed. Standardized nine-field photographs were taken at 2-week intervals and analyzed in a masked fashion by the Fundus Photograph Reading Center to determine evidence of CMV retinitis progression.
Secondary end points included time to development of CMV retinitis in the contralateral eye, time to development of visceral CMV, and time to death.

"I only realized I loved my face, after it had been burned with acid." Wait, what? In this trailer, Wrong appears to be a simple movie about a lost dog — but once Rubber director Quentin Dupieux is through, we imagine you'll lie huddled in the corner rocking yourself to sleep with either laughter or sobs. The reinging champ of "no really, what the fuck is this" is back with a very promising trailer for Wrong. In this madcap clip-show of lunacy, you can see telepathic connections to puppies, puppy shit and the vague fumes of David Lynch brilliance.
Here's the official synopsis:
WRONG / France (Director and screenwriter: Quentin Dupieux) - Dolph searches for his lost dog, but through encounters with a nympho pizza-delivery girl, a jogging neighbor seeking the absolute, and a mysterious righter of wrongs, he may eventually lose his mind… and his identity. Cast: Jack Plotnick, Eric Judor, Alexis Dziena, Steve Little, William Fichtner.
We'll be sure to keep tabs on Wrong as it makes its way through the Sundance Film Festival.

Floating Fountains
Swimming pool fountains are available in a large variety of different types. Find anything from simple styles to fancier multiple-tier pool fountains; and from rock fountains to fountains that light up and create a light show. Pool Center offers a large selection that will fit any budget and style.
A swimming pool fountain creates a beautiful and eye catching focal point for your swimming pool and enhances its surroundings. Swimming pool fountains come in two basic types-built-in and installation-free floating fountains. The built-in pool fountains are, of course, expensive and require installation; the floating fountains on the other hand, require no installation and are easily added to your pool by plugging them into your pool's return line. This comes with the added benefit that you can change your swimming pool fountain as often as you like and you are not stuck with the same fountain forever.
The question comes what type of a pool fountain should you invest in? This really depends on your individual taste, style and of course the amount of money you are willing to spend. There is a variety of options available that will fit into a price range between $25 and $100, and even an inexpensive, simple pool fountains will provide a stunning complement to your pool, and will add pizzazz and uniqueness to your pool. You may choose to go with a basic floating fountain or add a multi-tier version for a fancier look. You may also consider installing a lighted swimming pool fountain that will add a soothing ambience to your pool. A lighted pool fountain also gives you an option of creating your own light show you can also adjust the light patterns and colors depending on your mood and the atmosphere you wish to create. You will also need to consider the size of your swimming pool before investing in a pool fountain; a small floating fountain will work best in a small to medium size pool and a multi-tier, lighted pool fountain will make a great addition to a large size pool. So no matter what kind of a pool fountain you wish to install in your pool, Pool Center has something to cater to every taste, style, and budget.
