Mali: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Significant natural resources: agriculture (cotton, rice, maize), mining (gold, bauxite, iron)
- Stabilization of the political situation; drive to restructure the economy
- International aid
- Economy vulnerable to weather and to commodity price fluctuations
- Geographic isolation
- Precarious security situation
- Dependence on international aid
Current Trends
Relatively Dynamic Economy
Despite a difficult security situation, activity in Mali is expected to remain firm in 2018, buoyed by public investment spending, agricultural and gold production, and international aid. Gold output is expected to be particularly dynamic, due to the start of operations at two new mines, and the extension of mine life at two others. The country is Africa's third-leading producer of this mineral and its exports account for almost 70% of GDP. Public investment is expected to continue at a more sustainable pace and will be concentrated mainly on defense equipment and transport infrastructure. Furthermore, the agricultural sector, which contributes over a third of GDP, will continue to be one of the country's main contributors to growth. Food crops (rice, maize) and cotton (second most important export commodity) are performing much better due to an increase in land under cultivation, as well as equipment modernization. However, agricultural potential is largely under-exploited, and the lack of local processing plants for farming products or for the cotton sector is hindering the development of a powerful industrial fabric.
Household consumption is set to remain firm and should only slightly affected by the slight upturn in inflation, as the growth in agricultural revenues – on which almost two-thirds of the workforce depends – will largely offset the higher prices.
Despite favorable prospects, the economic situation will still be exposed to the risks associated with the precarious security situation and agricultural production's vulnerability to weather events. The country is counting on eventually diversifying its economy thanks to its oil potential and reserves of iron ore and bauxite. Progress in this regard could, however, be slow because of infrastructure shortcomings, weak commodity prices, and a difficult business climate.
Vulnerability of the External and Public Accounts
The draft 2018 finance law aims to stabilize the fiscal deficit, with a sharp increase in spending that will be offset by higher revenues. This includes, notably, income tax hikes, higher taxes on goods and services, and better tax collection. Spending will increase substantially on the back of higher security expenditure, the implementation of the peace agreement, and the organization of presidential elections in late 2018. The fiscal deficit is mainly funded through recourse to the internal and regional markets, and an IMF contribution in the form of an Extended Credit Facility. A gradual reduction in the deficit towards the 3% target by 2019 will allow authorities to maintain public debt at a sustainable level, several years after the country benefited from substantial debt relief under the HIPC and MDRI initiatives.
The current account deficit is expected to fall in 2018, but will remain relatively high. Higher imports of capital goods associated with the development and reconstruction projects currently underway – with a slight rise in the oil bill and the bill for foodstuffs – will be offset by export growth. Exports of gold and cotton are set to climb, thanks to higher production and a slight upturn in prices. High levels of public transfers and private remittances (from migrants) will limit the extent of the current account deficit, which is mainly funded by foreign aid, official loans, and – to a lesser extent – foreign direct investments. Nevertheless, changes in the current account balance depend on gold and cotton exports, which are highly exposed to fluctuations in world prices.
Security Environment Still Very Fragile
President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, elected in August 2013 after the recapture of the northern half of the country from Islamist groups thanks to French military intervention and the mobilization of the international community, is expected to remain in power until the next presidential elections scheduled for late 2018. However, the security situation remains very fragile: the Jihadist groups did not sign up to the June 2015 peace agreement, and continue to clash with the United Nations forces (Minusma) and the Malian army, while also carrying out attacks against civilians in the north and center of the country. Moreover, the implementation of the agreement is threatened by quarrels within the member groups of the Coordination of Movements of Azawad (a separatist rebel group fighting for the independence of the northern Mali), as well as by repeated violations of the agreement by these groups and the Self-Defense Group of Imghad Tuaregs and Allies (GATIA). Ongoing insecurity could, over time, hit the confidence of consumers, businesses and financial backers. Meanwhile, the implementation of governance-related reforms is slow, especially as regards the fight against corruption.

The rate of adherence to regular colonoscopy screening (CS) among members of families at increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) is far below recommended levels. Persons who live in rural areas of the United States exhibit lower CRC screening rates than their urban counterparts. Although the detection of familial predisposition to cancer begins with an accurate family medical history, data indicate that many patients do not receive adequate familial cancer risk assessment from their primary care providers. This suggests that familial risk is largely unrecognized which may lead to inadequate risk stratification, lack of risk notification, appropriate risk counseling, suboptimal cancer screening and preventable deaths. Because of geographic and system-level barriers, special efforts are needed to improve access to personalized risk communication and adherence to CRC screening to rural and other geographically underserved populations at increased risk for CRC. In the proposed study, we will evaluate a novel telephone-based, theory-guided personalized risk communication intervention that combines a familial CRC risk assessment and behavioral counseling with tailored messages. The key hypothesis guiding this study is that a multifaceted personalized risk communication intervention will improve CS at a significantly higher rate than a mailed targeted print intervention.
Our integrative study model specifies important theoretical mechanisms that can contribute to increased use of CS among persons at increased risk. We will enroll 438 adult men and women between the ages of 30-74 who are considered at increased risk of familial CRC into this 2-group randomized trial. The primary aim of this study is to compare colonoscopy use among participants in the two groups. Secondary aims are to compare the two groups with regard to cognitive and emotional outcomes and explore the underlying mechanisms through which the interventions have an impact on colonoscopy behavior. Sociodemographic, clinical, behavioral and psychosocial measures will be collected from participants at baseline, and 1 month, 9 months, and 15 months following the intervention. Self-reported colonoscopy is verified with medical records.
The study's findings will have both theoretical, as well as practical significance. Our findings will help to influence the selection and dissemination of effective outreach approaches to improve CRC screening in populations at increased risk for the disease. These results have broad applicability to understanding responses to personalized risk communication interventions for other diseases as well. Findings will also broaden our understanding of the underlying theoretical mechanisms of how remote cancer risk communications lead to improvements in cancer screening among geographically underserved populations if such intervention effects are observed.
In addition to studying the intervention effects in rural areas, we will enroll participants in urban areas. These enhancements to our population-based randomized behavioral trial will provide us with an unprecedented opportunity to assess reach and determine if there are differential intervention effects (i.e., efficacy) with regard to place of residence (rurality vs. urbanicity.)

Active Comparator: Telephone-delivered risk intervention
Participants in this arm receive a personalized telephone-risk assessment intervention provided by a trained cancer risk counselor.
Behavioral: TeleCARE
Personalized telephone-delivered cancer risk assessment.
Active Comparator: Mailed pamphlet intervention group
Participants in this group receive a mailed pamphlet containing information about familial colorectal cancer risk and screening.
Behavioral: Pamphlet intervention
Mailed pamphlet about familial colorectal cancer risk and screening.
- Colonoscopy [ Time Frame: 9 month follow-up ]The primary outcome is colonoscopy. Medical record verification of self-reported colonoscopy is performed.
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)/Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 9 month, and 15 month follow-up ]Fecal occult blood test(FOBT) following the intervention. Medical confirmation of self-reported FOBT/FIT is performed.
- Perceived Control [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month and 9 month follow-up ]The Perceived Personal Control Scale is an integrative outcome that encompasses the broad spectrum of health risk communication and informed decision-making. This validated scale is a 9-item measure representing three dimensions of control participants believe they have regarding family history of colorectal cancer (CRC): cognitive-interpretive, decisional, and behavioral. A 5-point Likert-style response format is used ranging from very little control to very high control. A total scale score is calculated by summing the items.
- Perceived Risk [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month and 9 month follow-up ]A 4-item scale with established construct and predictive validity with regard to cancer screening will assess participants' subjective perceived risk for developing colorectal cancer. Responses are measured on a five-point Likert scale ranging from very small to very large.
- Psychological distress [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month and 9 month follow-up ]Generalized psychological distress will be operationalized as state anxiety and we will use the State Subscale of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. We will also measure cancer-specific distress with the Impact of Event Scale. The stressor in this study is having a family history of colorectal cancer.
- Knowledge [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month and 9 month follow-up ]The Colorectal Cancer Knowledge Survey is a validated 12-item scale that assesses colorectal cancer screening knowledge, colorectal cancer risk factors (including family history) and CRC symptoms. The questionnaire consists of true/false with a possible range of scores of 0-12. FOBT items will be substituted with colonoscopy.
- Decisional Conflict [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month and 9 month follow-up ]Participants are asked to evaluate whether or not they feel confident in their decision to receive or not receive CRC screening. Assessment following the intervention will determine whether the decisional conflict has been resolved and whether or not that resolution results in colonoscopy uptake.

On very rare occassions, as you progress through the levels in the game, you will be thrown into a Rumpus Room rather than the next part of the level you're on. In this small room, you will have to face numerous Pokémon from the level within the close confines of the room. There are two types of Rumpus Room that you can enter.
Rumpus Room Type 1
Rumpus Room Type 2
You have the ability to earn the toys of the Pokémon you face in this mode and the money you receive from the Pokémon is quite high in quantity.

Isn't it sad to see all this cyber vultures who seem to have suddenly popped up with more frequency since our little world music universe seems under threat? It's as if they smell weakness.
Anyway, here's me fighting back with something new to think about.
OK, I know we've done the guilty pleasures thing to death here but those taste crimes that most people own up to always seem to be in the past. It's all very well confesses of lapses of taste or judgement in our callow youth but does anyone feel they have enjoyed any recent music which they suspect might go down like a ton of bricks with the blues aficionados, jazz elitists and world connoisseurs who contributes to this forum? Or to put it another way - what have you liked recently that CG wouldn't be likely to play?
For example, Corinne Bailey Rae. I really love that single about putting your records on, despite its laboured breakbeat and feelgood overkill. There's something about the little Londonisms that crop up in her phrasing and the laid-back delivery which sets her apart from all the other soppy female singer songwriters of the moment. But don't get me wrong here, I wouldn't go all the way with her; I've not downloaded or bought the album! I don't think I could bare to listen to all that half-decent material and delicious voice with off-the-peg beats and too smooth arrangements turning it into Tesco pop. But I do hold out hope for the next album. I suspect that as someone who once sung with a rock band that if she was given more control a more interesting product might immerge.
So anyone else thing the Arctics are hot or 50 Cent is worth more than his name suggests?

Ben Roethlisberger has seemingly been campaigning for the Pittsburgh Steelers to add a big, physical wide receiver ever since Plaxico Burress defected to the New York Giants nearly a decade ago.
Six years removed from draft bust Limas Sweed, the Steelers selected 6-foot-4 Clemson wideout Martavis Bryant with the No. 114 overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Roethlisberger is said to be thrilled with his new weapon, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Don't let Bryant's draft slide fool you. The Steelers believe he could enter the starting lineup as soon as this season.
"We feel like we got a guy to put opposite of Antonio Brown," wide receivers coach Richard Mann said Saturday. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He lasted. We were delighted we were able to get him. Felt like a second-, third-round guy."
Steelers thought of drafting Bryant on the third round, in fact just passed out a bio of him saying they DID draft him on third round.— Ed Bouchette (@EdBouchette)
May 10, 2014
One NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn leading up to the draft that Clemson officials insisted Bryant plays faster than No. 4 overall pick and former teammate Sammy Watkins.
"He has a Randy Moss-type build," another scout said. "Doesn't run as fast as Randy but a notch below. There's some immaturity ... He does some idiotic stuff. But as far as natural ability he's up there."
Bryant has also drawn loose comparisons to the late Bengals size/speed phenom, Chris Henry.
Although the fourth-rounder will be in the mix for playing time as a rookie, he will have his hands full trying to beat out last summer's training camp sensation Markus Wheaton. Coach Mike Tomlin expects Wheaton to take a significant step this year after a pair of broken fingers turned the 2013 third-round pick's rookie season into a washout.
With Wheaton on the outside and former Drew Brees safety blanket Lance Moore in the slot, the Steelers can afford to ease Bryant in as a situational red-zone threat.
The "Around The League Podcast" wrapped up the draft by picking our winners and losers.

Game Overdose: Fallout 3 vs. Fallout: New Vegas DLC face-off PART 2

Apologies for the lateness of this everyone, life got in the way and I got a little bit discouraged by being messed around a bit, but I'm back to finish off what I started, an overall comparison between Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas's DLC.

Given the obnoxiously hot weather out there, the fact that I'm still poor (soon to be addressed, hopefully!) and the fact that the reportedly final DLC came out recently, I've decided to do a Fallout 3 vs Fallout: New Vegas comparison.
What's a better way to enjoy unseasonable sun than sat inside wandering through a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland? DOING IT AGAIN!

Proms Chamber Music 05: Holst & Birtwistle
Live from Cadogan Hall, London
Petroc Trelawny presents the fifth Chamber Music concert of this year's Proms.
Nicholas Kok conducts The Nash Ensemble and the BBC Singers for the UK premiere of Harrison Birtwistle's The Moth Requiem. The piece is an elegy to 12 extinct species of moths and butterflies, which are commemorated in a text setting their Latin names for female voices, three harps and alto flute.
The concert also includes Holst's Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda (Group 3), a setting of Sanskrit words, and extracts from the Tudor Eton Choirbook.

Pokémon Passwords
Like past games, Pokémon Conquest has a password system. Here, when you're in the main overworld map, you can access the password option. This allows you to enter a password which activates a Pokémon within the area for you to befriend and use in your travels. These Pokémon are typically not found in the area or anywhere in the game and so require the password to be obtained
Once the password is entered, you don't necessarily see the Pokémon right away. Sometimes, you will be told that there is an influx of them in a certain area, so you just need to wait for them to appear after the password has been entered

ROCHESTER — As city police work to curb the growing number of shoplifting cases, they are working with local retailers to develop a website containing information on suspected retail thieves.
Police Capt. Paul Toussaint said retailers such as Kohl's, Kmart, Walmart, and Lowe's have shown interest in participating in the new initiative, which would be available to the businesses at no cost.
The website would enable participating retailers to share information on shoplifting incidents at their establishments, including descriptions of suspects and their vehicles, as well as license plate numbers.
Toussaint said a designer for the website project has already been identified, and the next step is deciding the domain name for the site.
This data would enable the retailers to identify potential repeat offenders and organized retail thieves.
Police Chief Mike Allen said organized shoplifting has grown across the country, and Rochester is no exception.
"It's a big business. There is a big black market for the items," he said.
Allen said often-used items, such as clothing, baby formula and small electronics, have generally been targeted the most by organized shoplifters.
So far this year, the number of reported shoplifting cases has increased by 37 percent in the city, but it's difficult to tell what proportion of those cases involved organized retail theft, said Allen.
Many shoplifters commit retail theft more than one time, he said.
While 160 shoplifting cases were reported through November of last year, there have been 219 cases reported through November of this year.
Allen said while the city has seen a significant rise in shoplifting, area retailers are also reporting those instances to police more often, and police are making more arrests.
The number of arrests pertaining to shoplifting have risen by 24 percent — 134 arrests were made through November 2011, compared to 166 arrests for shoplifting through November 2012.
"Stores are reporting shoplifting incidents more, so we're making more apprehensions as a result," said Allen.
He said Rochester police have also been working with local stores to develop theft prevention strategies, such as keeping most-targeted items under surveillance, and having sufficient lighting.
Despite the increase in shoplifting cases, burglary has gone down so far this year.
Through November, there have been 135 reports of burglaries, compared to 157 reports through the same time last year — a decrease of 14 percent.
Allen attributed fewer burglaries to police engaging with local residents through ward meetings and interaction on the street.
On a regular basis, police officers park their vehicles and walk, interacting with people who may appear out of place, or talking to residents about any suspicious activity they may have witnessed, said Toussaint.
Allen said Rochester officers have conducted about 52 percent more field interviews so far this year, compared to last year.
Engaging residents, he said, makes it more likely that crime is reported.
"Police can't reduce and prevent crime alone," said Allen.
Throughout the past year, Rochester police have also been reminding residents to keep their car doors locked. Through November, the number of reported thefts from vehicles went up by 52 percent over last year.
More than 90 percent of those thefts were from unlocked vehicles, said Allen.
"If people locked their cars we would have a lot less thefts from motor vehicles," he said.

After Michael submits to a clumsy insurance sales spiel from guest actor Mike Starr, Andy and Dwight get it in their heads that the salesman is in fact a mafia guy, shaking Michael down.
Naturally, they are able to get that into Michael's head pretty efficiently as well. Dwight overrides Andy and Michael's intention to give in, but only temporarily. After Michael signs up for a policy he can't afford, Dwight comes up with a fix: tell Michael the salesman's not in the mafia after all.
Since we already know that's the case, we're not too worried when Michael calls the salesman back to rudely shoot him down. At least until Michael gets such a big head from his courageous exploit that he's even more obnoxious and self-aggrandizing than ever.

The Amache Japanese-American internment camp
Camp Amache in southeastern Colorado was the smallest of the ten Japanese-American internment camps in the United States.
Two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the evacuation of Japanese and Japanese-Americans from the West coast to government internment camps.
The Amache camp, near Granada, opened on Aug. 24, 1942. It eventually held over 7,000 Japanese-Americans. The camp contained 30 blocks of residential barracks, each with its own mess hall, laundry and shower rooms. Children attended school, and adults worked on farms growing alfalfa, corn, onions, potatoes, sugar beets and wheat.
Camp Amache was named for the wife of John Wesley Prowers, a pioneer cattleman from the lower Arkansas Valley, and the namesake of Prowers County. Amache was the daughter of a Cheyenne Indian chief.
In 2006, then-Interior Secretary Gale Norton designated the Amache site a National Historic Landmark.
Every year near the anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066, there is a Day of Remembrance held at the History Colorado Center. Hosted by the Mile High chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), Japanese-Americans share stories of their World War II internment.

Advanced traffic control
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary end
One of the advanced and least known network features from the linux kernel, is the ability to control and shape the traffic. While is common for users know the basic use of iproute2 by using the
ip command, is very common to ignore other powerful features like the ones offered by the
tc command.
The goal of this article is to show how to shape the traffic by using queueing disciplines. For instance, if you ever had to forbid downloads or torrents on a network that you admin, and not because you were against those services, but because users were "abusing" the bandwidth, then you could use queueing disciplines to allow that kind of traffic and, at the same time, be sure that one user can't slowdown the entire network.
This is an advanced article; you are expected to have certain knowledge of network devices, iptables, etc.
Queuing controls how data is sent; we have no way to control how we receive data. However, since TCP/IP packages are sent using a slow start - that is, it starts sending the packages slow and keeps sending them faster and faster, until packages start getting rejected - is therefore possible to control how much traffic is received on a lan by dropping packages that arrive at a router before they get forwarded.
That is, we need to set the queueing disciplines (qdiscs for short) on the router to start dropping packages according to our rules on the network device connected to the lan, NOT on the network device connected to the internet.
And in order to be the ones controlling the shape of the traffic, we need to be the slowest link of the chain; that is, if the connection has a maximum download speed of 500k, is a good idea to set the limit of the output to 450k. Otherwise, is going to be the modem shaping the traffic instead of us.
Each network device has a root where a qdisc can be set. By default, this root has a fifo_fast qdisc. (more info below)
There are two kind of diciplines: classful and classless.
Classful qdiscs allows you to create classes, which work like branches on a tree. You can then set rules to filter packages to each class. Each class can have assigned other classful or classless qdisc.
Classless qdiscs does not allows to add more qdiscs to it.
Before starting to configure qdiscs, first we need to remove any existing qdisc from the root. This will remove any qdisc from the eth0 device:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
Classless Qdiscs
These are queues that do basic manage of traffic by reordering, slowing or dropping packets. This qdiscs don't allow the creation of classes.
This is the default qdisc. In every network device where no custom qdisc configuration has been applied, fifo_fast is the qdisc set on the root. fifo means First In First Out, that is, the first package to get in, is going to be the first to be sent. This way, no package get special treatment.
Token Bucket Filter (TBF)
This qdisc allows bytes to pass, as long certain rate limit is not passed.
It works by creating a virtual bucket and then dropping tokens at certain speed, filling that bucket. Each packages takes a virtual token from the bucket, and use it to get permission to pass. If too many packages arrive, the bucket will have no more tokens left and the remaining packages are going to wait certain time for new tokens. If the tokens don't arrive fast enough, the packages are going to be dropped. On the opposite case (too little packages to be sent), the tokens can be used to allow some burst (uploading pikes) to happen.
That means this qdisc is useful to slow down an interface.
Uploading can fill a modem's queue and as result, while you are uploading a huge file, the interactivity is destroyed.
tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root tbf rate 220kbit latency 50ms burst 1540 # The upload speed should be changed to your upload speed minus a small few percent (to be the slowest link of the chain)
This configuration sets a TBF for the ppp0 device, limiting the upload speed to 220k, setting a latency of 50ms for a package before being dropped, and a burst of 1540. It works by keeping the queueing on the linux machine (where it can be shaped) instead of the modem.
Stochastic Fairness Queueing (SFQ)
This is a round-robin qdisc. Each conversation is set on a fifo queue, and on each round, each conversation has the possibility to send data. Thats why is called "Fairness" Is also called "Stochastic" because it does not really creates a queue for each conversation, instead it uses a hashing algorithm. For the hash, there is the chance for multiple sessions on the same bucket. To solve this, SFQ changes its hashing algorithm often to prevent that this becomes noticeable.
This configuration sets SFQ on the root on the eth0 device, configuring it to perturb (alter) its hashing algorithm every 10 seconds.
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root sfq perturb 10
Classful Qdiscs
Classful qdiscs are very useful if you have different kinds of traffic which should have differing treatment. A classful qdisc allows you to have branches. The branches are called classes.
Setting a classful qdisc requires that you name each class. To name a class, is used the
classid parameter. The
parent parameter, as the name indicates, point to the parent of the class.
All the names should be set as
x:y where
x is the name of the root, and
y is the name of the class. Normally, root is called
1: and their children are things like
Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB)
HTB is well suited for setups where you have a fixed amount of bandwidth which you want to divide for different purposes, giving each purpose a guaranteed bandwidth, with the possibility of specifying how much bandwidth can be borrowed. Here is an example with comments explaining what does each line:
# This line sets a HTB qdisc on the root of eth0, and it specifies that the class 1:30 is used by default. It sets the name of the root as 1:, for future references. tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30 # This creates a class called 1:1, which is direct descendant of root (the parent is 1:), this class gets assigned also an HTB qdisc, and then it sets a max rate of 6mbits, with a burst of 15k tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 6mbit burst 15k # The previous class has this branches: # Class 1:10, which has a rate of 5mbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 5mbit burst 15k # Class 1:20, which has a rate of 3mbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 3mbit ceil 6mbit burst 15k # Class 1:30, which has a rate of 1kbit. This one is the default class. tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate 1kbit ceil 6mbit burst 15k # Martin Devera, author of HTB, then recommends SFQ for beneath these classes: tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:10 handle 10: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:30 handle 30: sfq perturb 10
Once a classful qdisc is set on root (which may contain classes with more classful qdiscs), is necessary to use filters to indicate which package should be processed by which class.
On a classless-only environment, filters are not necessary.
You can filter packages by using tc, or a combination of tc + iptables.
Using tc only
Here is an example explaining a filter:
# This command adds a filter to the qdisc 1: of dev eth0, set the priority of the filter to 1, matches packages with a destination port 22, and make the class 1:10 process the packages that match tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 u32 match ip dport 22 0xffff flowid 1:10 # This filter is attached to the qdisc 1: of dev eth0, has a priority of 2, and matches the ip address 184.108.40.206 exactly, and matches packages with a source port of 80, then makes class 1:11 process the packages that match tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip src 188.8.131.52/32 match ip sport 80 0xffff flowid 1:11
Using tc + iptables
iptables has a method called fwmark, which can be used to add a mark to packages, a mark that can survive routing across interfaces.
First, this makes packages marked with 6, to be processed by the 1:30 class
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 handle 6 fw flowid 1:30
This sets that mark 6, using iptables
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 6
You can then use the regular way of iptables to match packages and then use fwmark to mark them.

Markets continue to look weak, with lower trades across many commodities and equities today. For ag futures, soybeans once again led the way lower, with November beans falling 17½ cents. December corn finished 4¾ cents lower and December wheat 15½ cents lower.
We did, however, see a late-day rally in the Dow Jones futures and may see some strength on the open tonight. FC Stone's latest yield estimates were released today, with corn at 148.7 and beans at 42.8.
With December corn trading $2 off its highs and November soybeans $3 off their highs, we are quite oversold. Between now and the Oct. 11 report, we expect volatility to remain high and outside markets to have an influence. Since we already have higher than expected old crop stocks, the yields are going to be the next major focus for the upcoming report. For this market to gain support, we need to see another major fundamental change such as further yield reductions or increased demand. The stocks report obviously revealed some demand destruction this year when stocks came in higher than expected.
We want to conservatively re-own bushels on this latest break using options. We like the corn option spreads we have laid out if you are well sold and you have run it through AMMO. Buying back bean sales using calls is still ideal, even though we have had higher volatility lately. For wheat, we can re-own bushels by bull spreading December-July contracts as a way to roll forward your hedge. We can also look at call spreads for wheat for a defined risk trade (please call your broker for strikes/prices).

Okay, it's officially fall. In Canada we've had our Thanksgiving dinners, and according to the weather man, the rain is on its way 🙁 It's been a good ride, though, hasn't it?
But, all good rides must come to an end, so today I'm going to announce the winner of the sweet pea challenge between my Dad and me. Remember my cheeky post way back in May?
Here's the photograph I totally photoshopped to suggest this is how my sweet peas were going to grow!
After all, aren't we supposed to 'vision' our desired outcome? 😉
So, I got the seeds going… set them in a container, covered them with water, and put paper towel on top. Then they went into a dark closet, and were left for about a week, but I made sure the paper towel remained moist.
This is what they looked like on planting day!
I had already planted about half of them before I remembered to take this photo!
I ended up with waaaay more than I needed…
So the rest were planted in these round pots.
My Dad is such a good sport. He didn't think my idea to let the sweet peas climb up the lattice of the heat pump surround was such a great idea. So, he helped me out by building a proper trellis.
Complete with perfectly placed netting!
And then we sat back to see whose sweet peas were going to grow!
In no time at all mine were off to the races, looking pretty good!
Dad's, on the other hand, weren't doing so hot. I don't have any photos of his progress at this point, but he was pretty sure they weren't going to make it.
So I passed these pots of extras on to him!
One good turn deserves another, right?
While Dad's were busy rerouting themselves (or is that re-'rooting'? 😉 ), and trying to play catch-up…
Mine were thriving!
And then I got to make the first phone call. You know the one!
Oh yah, uh-huh…
Flowers on the vine!
Pretty, pretty flowers!
And enough to pick my first bouquet!
Oh, how beautiful they smelled! Picture a happy dance, and a little side-line gloating 😉
But then the unthinkable happened!
Look closely at the stems at the end of each arrow…
That's right. My beloved sweet peas were grazed by the neighbourhood deer! Can I just say, they ARE. NOT. CUTE!!!
So in an effort to keep the deer out, every night hubs would lean an extra piece of lattice over the whole sweet pea patch.
And we even tried this.
Bobbex is an environmentally friendly, chemical-free, all natural repellent that is smell-y!
But by now Dad's sweet peas were well on their way and catching up! And mine, well… I was able to squeeze another teeny, tiny bouquet from them. So, I took this as a sign they were on the mend.
Only now, the tables were turned. Dad's sweet peas were totally flourishing.
And he was only too happy to send this bouquet my way… can you tell?
It's killing me to point this out, but his bouquet was about twice the size of my first pride and joy bunch! And he was picking multiple bouquets at once 😐
While Dad continued to 'harvest' his crop…
Mine continued to wither away 🙁
That's right. Wither and die! So sad 🙁 🙁 🙁
Now it's my turn to be a good sport, and announce Dad as the winner of the sweet pea challenge! {cringe, wince, choke}
Yah, that's right. Dad totally swept this one away! I mean, look at how high his sweet peas grew! Even if mine survived, they wouldn't have reached this height, because my trellis wasn't even close in size! What was I thinking?
So, the wine was on me… but we shared it over a BBQ dinner at Dad's house. That was the deal. Wine was consumed at the winner's house, and we all pitched in on dinner 🙂
Of course, when I was leaving, Dad couldn't resist but to send me on my way with one last bouquet!
And you know what? He's still picking the last of his sweet peas before putting the garden to bed for the winter!
Congratulations, Dad!
And what about next year? Um, don't even go there. Didn't I mention, all good rides must come to an end?!
How did your garden grow this year? Do you have any stories to share… do you battle the deer where you live?
Thanks for stopping by!

Visit : Official Band Site
Come and Get It in stores now! Order online from the Epitaph Store, iTunes, Amazon or Interpunk.
If the classic soul, smooth reggae, upbeat ska and distinctive storytelling found all over Westbound Train's new album, Come and Get It, has you stepping into your neighborhood record shop in search of Otis Redding, the Wailers, or The Specials, nobody would be more stoked than the members of Boston's best modern reggae/soul outfit.
...Westbound Train wants to be your gateway drug.
Shattering musical boundaries while embracing the best of several genres, the septet has fully come into their own with Come and Get It, their second Hellcat release. The new album invites listeners on a journey, traveling through all of the band's previous influences while creating an exciting new sound that they are eager to reveal to the world in 2009.
"We are a band that isn't afraid to take risks. We take what we do seriously," explains lead vocalist/trombone player and band co-founder Obi Fernandez. "I hope that we can be a band that makes people want to trace our music back to its sources - Sam Cooke, the Four Tops, The Maytals, or whomever. The farther you go back, the more you realize that all of these styles that sound a lot different today have a whole lot in common."
After years of nonstop touring in support of their Hellcat debut, Transitions, the band's members took some time off from touring to refocus and further improve the cohesion of the group. They soon enlisted new members Eric Novod (drums) and Luke Penella (tenor sax), whose shared love of soul and jazz greatly contributed to the new sounds found on Come and Get It.
Compared to the band's three previous albums, Come and Get It is the best representation of Westbound Train to be captured on record thus far. Two stand-out tracks include "So Many Things a Man Can Say," an old-school ballad that captures Fernandez's love of the Motown sound, and the highly orchestrated second track, "Ain't Gonna Be Easy," written about Fernandez's father. "In addition to the song being about my father, a lot of stuff was going on that was making life a little more complicated," Fernandez says.
"Check Your Time," is a reggae track near and dear to Fernandez's heart that features the band's infectious groove and a sing-along chorus that is sure to become a new fan favorite.
The album's hard-hitting title track, co-written by bassist Thaddeus Merritt, mixes two different points-of-view with dazzling effect. "I wrote it with Thad, so you get his perspective and my perspective in the same song," Obi explains. "The song is really a conversation revolving around what I've been through along with what I've seen Thad go through. It makes it a really fun one to perform every night."
Additionally, the ska tune "Cheers The World's Almost Over" serves as a mission statement for what Westbound Train has always dreamed to be as a band. "I just love the groove of the song," Fernandez says. "As a songwriter, I really enjoyed sharing the chorus of that tune with the band. Everything about that song encompasses our sound, our vibe, what we're about."
When the time came to capture this newfound Westbound sound on tape, the band brought in the legendary Dave Hillyard (Slackers, Rocksteady 7) to produce Come and Get It. "Dave had great ideas about everything," Obi explains. "He's all about the music and really knows how to get performances out of people. He definitely brought the jazz mentality to the table - and it's definitely helped us in the way we think about playing our new tunes - and our old tunes as well. It's not so much about the execution as it is about what we're trying to say. He is really talented. I loved working with him."
The release of Come and Get It has offered Westbound Train a unique moment to think about their legacy, and how they ultimately want to be perceived as they move forward.
"We want to make music for everyone. I want to be known as being in a band with great musicians who want to have a great time and can take people somewhere regardless of where they're at, or what they're into," Obi says thoughtfully. "By the end of the show, we'll have you smiling and dancing and hopefully during our time together the world seemed to be a much better place. I hope we can be that band for people."

For example, the National Archives (NARA) is a huge repository of stuff, but is it accessible? Footnote.com has digitized over 69,000,000 documents, most from the National Archives, but how does this compare to what is there? The archival holdings of the NARA number more than 10 billion pages of unique documents. Many of the documents are handwritten, and include formats such as maps, charts, aerial and still photographs, artifacts, and motion picture, sound, and video recordings. Footnote has yet to reach 1% of the records and Footnote.com (now owned by Ancestry.com) is a subscription website. About half of the documents in the National Archives are described in its online catalog, the Archival Research Catalog. but only about 126,000 documents are online through the catalog. Quoting from the NARA website, the Archival Research Catalog (ARC) is the online catalog of NARA's nationwide holdings in the Washington, DC, area; Regional Archives; and Presidential Libraries. ARC is a work in progress; currently over 63% of the records are described in ARC at the series level.
ARC contains many descriptions of records of interest to genealogists and family historians, including:
- applications for enrollment in Native American tribes
- court records
- fugitive slave cases
- land records
- military personnel records
- naturalization records
Likewise on a very small percentage of either the Library of Congress or the Family History Library are yet available online. The other libraries would have similar percentages of online materials. So what is the conclusion?
1. Despite the impression of many would-be genealogists, only a very small percentage of the holdings of the larger libraries has been digitized online so far. You still have to go to the libraries to use their books and other materials.
2. The larger libraries are very large, with many times the holdings of the smaller libraries, even those still in the top ten. For example Number ten, the Sutro Library has 150,000 books. The Library of Congress, on the other hand, is the largest library in the world, with nearly 145 million items on approximately 745 miles of bookshelves. The collections include more than 33 million books and other print materials, 3 million recordings, 12.5 million photographs, 5.3 million maps, 6 million pieces of sheet music and 63 million manuscripts.
Here's how it stacks up.
NARA 10,000,000,000 pages of documents (probably less than 1% online)
Library of Congress 145,000,000 items (including all the different kinds mentioned above and way less than 1% online)
Sutro Library 150,000 books not pages or documents (does not advertise an online collection)
Not an exact comparison, books do not necessarily equal documents, but the numbers give you a rough idea of the scope of the issue of availability and the difference between number one on the list and number ten. It should, of course, be noted that the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah has committed to digitizing its entire collection of 2.4 or 2.5 million rolls of microfilm. It is already well into the project which can be viewed online at Beta.FamilySearch.org.

Missouri Professor Pleads Not Guilty to Casino Cheating
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) _ A Southeast Missouri State University
professor pleaded not guilty to charges that he cheated at Cape
Girardeau's casino.
Sixty-six-year-old Roger C. Arpin, a longtime literature
professor, entered the plea Monday. He was arrested Friday at the
Isle Casino Cape Girardeau.
He is charged with "capping" his bets at a blackjack table,
meaning he allegedly added to a bet after the cards were dealt.
The Southeast Missourian reports (http://bit.ly/R3gmFN ) Arpin
is the first person arrested for cheating at the Cape Girardeau
casino since it opened Oct. 30. State gaming officials say 44
others were charged with cheating-related offenses in Missouri so
far this year.
The charge carries a possible punishment of up to four years in
prison. Anyone convicted of cheating is banned for life from the
state's 13 casinos.

How to Reformat an iPad
If you recently upgraded to a new iPad and you're either selling or passing along your old iPad, you'll want to reformat the iPad before sending it off to live with it's new owner. There are two ways to do this, one from iTunes and one from the iPad directly using iOS settings, and both methods remove all of your personal data, songs, media, content, and settings from the iPad.
Reformat & Erase the iPad Using iTunes
This will remove all of your apps, data, and settings from the iPad so that it is ready to be set up as a new device:
- Launch iTunes and plug your iPad into your computer
- Select the iPad from the list on the left side of iTunes
- Look under the "Summary" tab (it's the default tab), and click on "Restore" as shown below
- If you don't want to maintain a backup of the iPad, click on "Don't Back Up"
- The restore process will take a few minutes as it clears out your iPad data and then restores the iOS system software to the device
- The device has been reformatted and restored to its original state when you see the 'Connect to iTunes' screen
Now if you plan on selling the iPad or giving it to someone else, this is a good place to stop. If you just want to reformat the iPad so you can set it up again yourself from a clean start, connect the iPad to iTunes and choose "Set Up As New" to claim the device again.
The other method to format the iPads data is through the iPad itself, although I would recommend the iTunes way if you plan on passing the hardware onto someone else.
Reformat & Erase Content Using the iPad
You can also erase all the iPad data directly from iOS:
- Tap on the "Settings" app to open it
- Tap to "General"
- Tap on "Reset" and scroll to the bottom
- Tap on "Erase All Content and Settings", then tap to confirm you wish to erase the everything, this can't be undone
This works on all versions of iOS for iPad, but keep in mind the appearance of the settings may look slightly different depending on your version of system software.
If you have a passcode set, you will be required to enter it before proceeding. Enter the passcode and then confirm that you want to erase all the data.
Going through iOS is generally a faster method and it will clear out all the settings and data, but it's not considered as secure because it does not restore the iPad system software. Again once you are finished you can give the iPad to it's new owner and connect it to iTunes to start anew.

Previous: HTML CSS, Up: Generating HTML [Contents][Index]
Cross-references between Texinfo manuals in HTML format become, in the
end, a standard HTML
<a> link, but the details are
unfortunately complex. This section describes the algorithm used in
detail, so that Texinfo can cooperate with other programs, such as
texi2html, by writing mutually compatible HTML files.
This algorithm may or may not be used for links within HTML output for a Texinfo file. Since no issues of compatibility arise in such cases, we do not need to specify this.
We try to support references to such "external" manuals in both monolithic and split forms. A monolithic (mono) manual is entirely contained in one file, and a split manual has a file for each node. (See HTML Splitting.)
The algorithm was primarily devised by Patrice Dumas in 2003–04.

A product of inner city Chicago, Darius Day has a gift and wants to use that gift to get his family out of the city someday. Day is off to a great start, being selected to play in the 2013 Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings in San Diego.
Recognized as the 35th best prospect in the nation for the class of 2014 and the top prospect in the state of Illinois, Day uses his time out of school to someday land out of Chicago, spending most of his time improving his baseball game.
His hard work has paid off in big ways. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound outfielder has worked his way to a baseball commitment with the University of Arizona, nearly 2,000 miles away from the city.
"I really wanted to get away from Chicago. I feel like in Chicago there's not really a lot here if you wanna pursue baseball as a career," Day said. "It's not really the safest place in the world and I'm gonna try and get my family out."
Day found himself in Minneapolis in mid-June for the Perfect Game National Showcase, where he stood out to scouts and made an impact on those making the All-American Classic selection.
One scout at the National Showcase wrote:
"…he runs a 6.5, throws 94 from the outfield and has a quick and balanced left-handed swing. I'm sure Chicago natives are going to see some Curtis Granderson in him as he gets stronger."
"Being at the National Showcase was a great opportunity to show people that I can compete with everybody else and show baseball what Darius Day has to offer," said Day. "I didn't even know that they use the Perfect Game National (Showcase) for the All-American Classic. I was just out there playing baseball and having fun."
That's what Day is all about when he steps on the diamond. He enjoys the game day in and day out. He also takes the game very seriously and knows it could be his ticket to big things in the future, a life many inner city kids dream of. Day is within reach of those dreams.
"He knows that he's close to reaching his goal of possibly being drafted and he knows that playing in the Classic puts him in that position to be drafted," said Kevin Coe, one of Day's coaches for his summer team, the Chicago White Sox ACE.
"As long as he keeps doing what he's doing, which he will, he's gonna be okay," said Simeon Career Academy coach Leroy Franklin. "The thing about Darius is he's gonna be very successful."
Coming from inner city Chicago, kids like Day immediately start off with a disadvantage compared to prep school kids from the South. The baseball season is shorter and so is the money. That is the reason why the Chicago White Sox created the Chicago White Sox Amateur City Elite in 2007, a program that gives kids 13-years and older the opportunity to play travel baseball and receive top-notch instruction while not having to suffer the financial burden.
Robert Fletcher, one of Day's ACE coaches who has been coaching Day since he was 10 years old, has been with the ACE program since its creation and is amazed by what the program has been able to accomplish.
"This program has helped the kids baseball-wise as well as character-wise and teaching them how to play the game the right way. We teach them a lot character-wise, which is gonna help them after baseball in the game of life," Fletcher said. "These kids, a lot of them come from rough areas, but our program keeps them busy. They aren't gang affiliated, they are ballplayers, and those who are gang affiliated respect that."
Crime in Chicago has been a problem for a long time now. Business Insider cited that Chicago had 59 gangs and up to 125,000 members as of 2012. Last year was considered the deadliest year Chicago has ever had. The ACE program is just one of a list of efforts in the community meant to deter gang involvement.
Coe explained the ACE program is there to help kids at a young age, teach them the fundamentals of the game, and stress the importance of performance in the classroom.
Day has been a part of the ACE program since he was 13 years old. It has given him the opportunity to play competitive baseball on an equal playing field that the rest of the All-Americans have.
"It's really a blessing," Day said. "They've helped me out so much in the past few years. It's just a bunch of good guys trying to get black athletes from Chicago out and into college."
Since the program first began, Fletcher and Coe have seen tremendous progress with inner city baseball.
"We had 12 guys that signed Division I scholarships out of the class of 2013, and that's a direct reflection of the White Sox ACE program," Fletcher said.
"A lot of our kids go to the public schools in Chicago and the quality of baseball in the public schools has increased and it has allowed me to reach out to the public school coaches," Coe said. "The most we had had at our tryout was 100 and last year we had 190 kids come to our tryout."
"It's what I look forward to. It's the highlight of the summer," Day said about playing with the White Sox ACE. I wouldn't rather be doing anything else. I can't wait to get out of school just so I can travel and play ball."
Day has traveled well this summer, attending the National Showcase in Minnesota, a tournament in Texas, and won the RBI Central Regional that was held at Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. The RBI program is Major League Baseball's Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities.
The highlight of Day's summer will be when he plays in the PG All-American Classic at Petco Park in San Diego on August 11th.
"I feel like it's a blessing," said Day on being selected. "It just proves that all that work that you put in finally pays off."
Coaches continuously praise the hard work that Day puts in, whether it's on the baseball field or in the classroom.
"He's a student of the game. He's always bugging me about practice or extra hitting or extra defense. He's always asking questions about his at-bats," Coe said. "He's one of the smartest players I've ever coached in my life, maybe the smartest."
"Darius is a passionate baseball player. I've had the pleasure of coaching Darius since he was 10 years old, before the White Sox ACE program," Fletcher said. "He's always had a knack for baseball and always has a smile on his face when he's playing. (He's) one of the best kids I've ever coached as far as attitude-wise."
"He's a great student-athlete," added Franklin. "We instill in our ballplayers that you have to do your schoolwork first."
One thing Coe said Darius has that many players don't is the combination of athleticism with an extremely high baseball IQ.
"You would be hard-pressed to find a better talent with as high of an IQ as Darius," Coe said.
Leroy Franklin, a baseball legend in the state of Illinois who has amassed over 700 wins and sent over a hundred players on to the collegiate baseball level in three decades of coaching at Simeon Career Academy, had plenty to say about Day.
"I've had two or three first round picks. I've had a National Player of the Year. I've had some great kids in the past, but he's one of the best student-athletes to come through Simeon," Franklin said. "He's a very good kid, very coachable kid, tremendous player, good character – he's an overall great kid."
Day has had the privilege of receiving some of the best coaching in the state, playing high school baseball with Franklin and summer ball with a coaching staff that all have collegiate or professional experience. Day knows how fortunate he is to have a high school coach with so much knowledge and experience.
"They say he's changed a lot over the past few years. They say he's gotten soft on us," Day laughed. "Coach Franklin's a great coach. He knows a lot about the game and you wanna soak it in and use it to your advantage. He's been winning a lot in his three decades. He's had a lot of draft picks. We won state championships this year and last year."
Perhaps more impressive than Day's game on the field is the type of person day is. Coaches have emphasized that his character speaks louder than his game.
"He knows that he has a special ability and doesn't take anything for granted and he's about as humble as they get," Coe said. "He's an even better person than he is a baseball player. He's one of those kids that I would trust with my last dollar. He's a great kid and I don't mind helping him out anytime he calls or asks."
"The thing about Darius is he's a leader," said Fletcher. "Darius is a hard working kid. Both his parents have sacrificed a lot to allow him to play baseball. He comes from a hard working family. They did a fine job raising that boy."
"The kids just love being around him," added Franklin. "They, more or less, look up to him. The thing about Darius is he wants to be the best. He works hard to be the best."
Inner city kids of Chicago will have Day to look up to when he represents inner city baseball and the Chicago White Sox ACE at the All-American Classic.
"Being invited to participate in the Classic hasn't changed him at all, it's actually made him a lot hungrier," said Coe. "He's the first kid out of our program to play in the Classic. He works harder than anybody else and he's definitely a true inner city kid."
Coaches and teammates of Day will tune in to watch Day play baseball on the biggest amateur stage there is, chasing his dream of playing professional baseball and giving back to his family. Day's long time coach, Robert Fletcher will surely be watching the kid he's seen grow from his youth.
"It's been a pleasure seeing him grow into the player he's become."

"Dr. Sulton is a highly dynamic individual who brings the right skills for the job," said Alfred J. Cade, chair of the Commission. "He is a natural leader who will ably guide the work of the Commission and collaborate closely with the administration, the Presidents' Council, and the higher education community."
The Commission's four-member search committee, chaired by Mr. Cade, selected Dr. Sulton from a pool of 49 candidates competing in a national search.
As a member of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's senior executive group, Dr. Sulton participates in state-level planning and policy development, oversees the review of new and existing academic programs, and works closely with institutional academic officers and the statewide faculty council. His wide-ranging responsibilities include institutional accountability, quality assessment, student transfer policy, postsecondary accreditation, and strategic planning for teacher education.
Prior to joining the Colorado Commission in 1992, Dr. Sulton served the University of Wisconsin System for seven years as assistant to the president and as a senior academic planner. As a member of the management team for the 26-campus system, he participated in long-range planning and the state budget development process. Dr. Sulton was also responsible for evaluating programs for minority and disadvantaged students throughout the state system, and provided leadership to campuses in the recruitment and retention of minority faculty and academic staff.
Dr. Sulton holds a Ph.D. and a master's degree in international relations from The Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor's degree in political science from Howard University. He served as a faculty member at Howard University and as an adjunct faculty member in the African studies program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has extensive consulting experience in higher education and in international politics and development, and has written on issues in both fields.
As executive director of the Commission on Higher Education, Dr. Sulton will provide leadership to the 14-member Commission and its staff of 21 in fulfilling its responsibilities for statewide policy, planning, coordination, and advocacy for higher education. He will oversee research, data analysis, and statewide accountability efforts, and will coordinate the Commission's work with the Presidents' Council, the newly merged Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, the Legislature, the Governor's Office, and the K-12 community.
"The Commission on Higher Education has accomplished many important goals since it was established by the Higher Education Restructuring Act of 1994, but significant challenges remain. I feel confident that Jim Sulton will provide the leadership New Jersey needs in striving towards its vision of a higher education system that is among the best in the world, embracing excellence, access, and affordability," Mr. Cade said.
Dr. Peter Burnham, the president of Brookdale Community College, who serves as chair of the Presidents' Council and as a member of the Commission's search committee, also expressed his strong support for the new executive director. "Dr. Sulton's leadership qualities and his policy experience at both the state and system levels will be a strong asset to New Jersey. The Presidents' Council looks forward to a collegial and productive working relationship with him."
Dr. Sulton is married and the father of three children; he currently resides in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

- If you were looking for the area in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, see Cavern Zone.
A cave is an underground area. They tend to have Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon, although Pokémon based on cave-dwelling animals such as Zubat may also be found. In total there are 186 caves known to be in the Pokémon world.
General description
Caves can be found in every region of the Pokémon world. They serve as roadblocks: travelers cannot reach their destination without passing through. Often, these caves are dark and it is impossible to see even a few feet ahead; this problem can be remedied through use of the move Flash. They are almost always winding and maze-like, making it easy to get lost. Villainous teams such as Team Magma and Team Aqua make their hideouts in isolated caves.
In the games, the encounter rate is typically quite high. All caves contain cave tiles, and often water tiles; caves also contain ice tiles, sand tiles, cracked tiles, holes, ledges and puddles. Often, rare Pokémon can be found in caves. Items can also be found within the depths of caves, presumably dropped in the darkness by other travelers. Many caves contain legendary Pokémon at their deepest point.
In battle
In Generation III, cave terrain gives Secret Power a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch and gives it the appearance of Bite; it causes Nature Power to become Shadow Ball.
In Generation IV and Generation V, cave terrain gives Secret Power a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch and gives it the appearance of Rock Throw; it causes Nature Power to become Rock Slide.
Camouflage makes the user Rock-type when used in a cave.

Thank you for the nice comments on the Easter egg. Love trying these types of designs even though they are really time consuming!
Thank you for your kind comments on my tree skirt picture!
Glad you're all set to sew! Be sure to post a picture of yours. I'm now in the process of making one for me.
Cathy, I could not unzip my files to get the instructions. Kate, from Big Dreams, has already sent me the instructions, so I'll make mine tomorrow. Thank you for the tip about double stabilizer. I will do that. So, guess you did not put batting in yours? I was looking at the web site and there are some awesome banners. They have one for embroidery thread, too. I am also a machine embroidery fan so I'll probably do that one. Thanks again.
PS, forgot to say I used a double layer of cutaway stabilizer in my hoop so it has enough weight to hang well.

cv quilter thanked for this post
Got it!
Cathy, thank you. I absolutely love this design and will go online right after this to see if I can find it and order it. I really enjoy the In The Hoop designs and love to do them. I'm hoping it's a downloadable, and suppose it is. Thanks again. Sharon

Bread & Broth seeks volunteers
Bread & Broth is looking for volunteers to help prepare and serve food on Mondays and Fridays.Bread & Broth is a nonprofit, non-denominational, all-volunteer program whose goal is to feed the neediest members of the South Lake Tahoe community. The preparation needed to feed more than 100 hot, nutritious meals every Monday evening at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall and 30-35 suppers at the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church on Friday evenings requires a committed group of men and women willing to give their time and energy.Volunteer opportunities include food and supply pickups from contributing stores, farmers markets and regional food banks. There are five Monday and Friday evening food service teams, each of which serves a specific week of the month. The food service team members who serve from 3-6 p.m. are responsible for setting up, serving the meals and dishwashing duty. In addition, every Monday has a cleanup crew that helps from 5:15-6:30 p.m. and stacks chairs, cleans and takes down tables, vacuums and mops the kitchen floor. Bread & Broth also needs substitute volunteers to fill in for regular crew member vacancies. A deep-cleaning crew comes in every three months and gives the kitchen a through degreasing and cleaning. Volunteers on this team can come in one Monday a month as a food service team member or a cleanup crew member. Food collection occurs on a weekly basis.A food safety class is required for food service and substitute food service team volunteering. The next food safety training class is scheduled for Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall. Attendees will learn more about the program, opportunities to serve and the safety issues associated with serving meals to guests.Bread & Broth is also in need of a communications chairperson, who is responsible for updating the organization's website and communicating information to the community. Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to plan to attend the food safety training class. For class enrollment or information, contact Dave Carneggie at 530-577-7762 or email@example.com.

KILLER Ian Simms could be back on the streets by the spring, his victim's devastated mother discovered today.
Marie McCourt said the phone call she had always dreaded came on Wednesday afternoon as she drove alone near her home town of Billinge near to where her daughter Helen was last seen alive 28 years ago this month.
The parole board has recommended that Simms be moved to an open prison within weeks, which could in turn lead to him being allowed out on escorted day release three months later and full release on licence thereafter.
The Ministry of Justice stresses it has yet to approve the move although the victim's mother says it is unusual for MOJ officials to block the recommendations. However, Mrs McCourt was hoping to get Home Secretary Theresa May to intervene.
Mrs McCourt was informed by probation that it was possible that former pub landlord Simms, 59, could be a free man within months.
It means 72-year-old Mrs McCourt's worst nightmare could come true - that the man convicted for her daughter's murder without revealing the whereabouts of her body would walk free without disclosing his secret.
I am heartbroken and devastated. How can this man be safe to release?Marie McCourt
And Mrs McCourt today voiced fears for all those who have spoken against Simms who could soon be in danger, including herself.
She said: "I am heartbroken and devastated.
"How can this man be safe to release? He sent me a threatening letter from prison, he has never admitted his crime, shown remorse or disclosed where Helen's body is."
