text: Although vast and sprawling, the Western U.S. is one of the most popular skiing regions in the world. Famous for the Rocky Mountains, which stretch from New Mexico into British Columbia and run through Colorado, the rugged Tetons in Wyoming, Utah's snow-blessed Wasatch Range, Idaho's Sawtooth Range and Montana, the ol' Wild West is still alive in many of these ski towns. Further west and separate from the Rocky Mountains sits California's beautiful, sun-basked Sierra Nevada mountains. The Western U.S. mountains offers skiers and snowboarders an overwhelming number of world-class ski resorts to choose from and these resorts offer a glimpse into the American West's incredible scenery and culture.

National Party reshuffle - why Hekia Parata is safe and why Nick Smith is back
When Key had his out of body experience at an Italian restaurant last week where he heard voices but couldn't move, he must have thought his Cabinet meetings had started early. The dull boredom of running the country and the headache of implementing policy that only works for rich people is taking its toll on a greying John Key and 2013 doesn't look like it's going to get much easier for our money trader turned Prime Minister turned juggling Gangnam styles dancing jester.
His first set of problems is the Cabinet reshuffle. Hekia Parata is safe but not for the ridiculous reasons Key has claimed. Key tried telling us all last week that Hekia was safe in Education because she is one of National's best communicators. When you consider the larger class room fiasco, the school closures in Christchurch clusterfuck and the Novopay scandal, if Hekia Parata is National's best communicator, I'm John Key's secret gay criminal lover.
Hekia's decision to try and merge a special needs girls school with a special needs boys school was overturned by the courts because of the higher risk of sexual molestation. This is surely a new low point for any Education Minister in NZ. Education policy can't end in the sexual assault of female students, who does Hekia Parata think she's the Eduction Minister for? The Taliban?
Hekia is staying because National are quietly plotting a vast privatization of education via Charter Schools in Christchurch using the Naomi Klein 'Disaster Capitalism' tactic. National intend to use the shock of the Christchurch earthquake and deep poverty in South Auckland to implement Charter Schools as a means to drive teachers wages down in education and thus lower the cost to the State. Replacing Hekia at this crucial lynchpin moment for the destruction of public education could derail the entire plan so Hekia would need to get caught selling meth to school students before Key would replace her.
As for Nick Smith, his return is crucial to Key. The reality is that the National Caucus aren't that bright and Smith is one of the few heavy weight intellectuals National has. Key intends to ram through massive amounts of legislation this year and Smith is the best drafter of complex legislation, National need Smith and he will be brought back.
Smith's affair with Pullar was an open secret in Parliament, someone from Labour would always yell her name during question time when Smith was pissing them off so the only surprise about it coming out was that it came out from National's own side. Smith was friendly fire in a fight between Judith Collins and Michelle Boag, so National need to clean up this home goal ASAP.
The real problem confronting Smith will be to start working on the vast legislation changes Key intends to ram through Parliament if NZ signs up to the TPPA in October. What most of the sleepy hobbits of NZ don't yet appreciate about the TPPA is that it's not a bloody free trade deal at all, it's a paranoid leash for American corporations to deregulate the entire NZ economy to that of Pike River Mine levels. It's been elevated by National Security neurosis because of China's growing influence in the Pacific.
Smith will have to organize the vast deregulation of the entire economy shortly after the TPPA is signed because the domestic realignment with America has to be passed shortly afterwards. This means the legislation will have to pass in the 2014 election year. IF (and it's a big IF) the NZ public realize what the TPPA actually means and what Key is actually signing us up for there will be outrage, luckily for National, current affairs and news has been so ground down to Seven Sharp levels, it is highly unlikely the news media will even be aware of the ramifications of the TPPA.
Claiming the reshuffle is because Lockwood is leaving are just busy words to keep the mainstream corporate news pacified.

12 Ways to Make Good Friends
I was really sad to read that so many Beyond Blue readers don't have four friends whom they could ask to compile lists of positive qualities in order to start a self-esteem file. It seemed that almost one-fourth of the comments on the message board of my "Video: My Self-Esteem file" pointed to the sad reality that many people are without a large group of friends.

Known for wearing white, the Sun City Croquet Club members offer camaraderie through the prestigious game. Comprised of about 110 people, the club meets once a month, but plays on a daily basis.
In the 19th century, the sport of croquet spread as backyard game in America. Croquet thrived in the 1920s through the 1940s, being played at social events, outdoor fundraisers and family gatherings.
In September 1997, Del Webb allotted two large croquet courts for the Sun City Croquet Club. With the two courts, three different croquet games can be played.
Six-wicket croquet is the strategic game for more experienced players. The course is to be 105 feet by 84 feet with the flattest land possible.
Stan Abrahamson, 2013 club president, said six-wicket is like chess on grass.
"It is very strategic and if you make one wrong move in the beginning, it will cause you to lose the game," Abrahamson said.
During a round of golf, Abrahamson's curiosity for croquet grew as he walked by a group at Port Royal Plantation, wearing white.
The custom of wearing white is just a way of showing one is a member in the club.
In every United States Croquet Association event, it is required to wear all white.
Each year, the Sun City club takes a vote whether to continue the tradition of wearing white or not. Each year, it's unanimous.
"When the Sun City sales team is showing people around the community, the croquet club is one of the things shown off on the tour," Abrahamson said. "Wearing all white is a symbol of the game. When people pass by the courts, the elegance of the game is shown through our attire."
Before moving to Sun City, Abrahamson joined the Port Royal Croquet Club, developing his skills.
With more than 10 years of experience, Abrahamson enjoys the sport that is closely tied to golf. He plays three or four days a week.
As the new club president, he will take on a new role managing the club.
"Croquet players are the nicest people because there are no refs, so its an honesty game much like golf - although sometimes in golf, refs are called in," Abrahamson said.
Croquet is a game that involves all different levels of players. Nine-wicket croquet, commonly known as backyard croquet, is the most familiar form played.
The standard court is 100 feet by 50 feet with nine wickets and two stakes. Players move in the traditional double-diamond configuration.
Abrahamson said this form of croquet can become harder by adding numerous challenging options.
While the popularity of backyard croquet is large, a new form of the sport is growing. Golf croquet is the simplest form, allowing beginners to play with ease. The object of this game is to score six points through the six hoops.
"Anyone can pick up this form of croquet, it really is the novice's game," Abrahamson said.
The Sun City Croquet Club is part of a the Coastal Croquet Clubs, which include Dataw, Wexford, Spring Island and Palmetto Bluff. Sun City hosted the Coastal Croquet Club invitational at the end of November, involving all local clubs.
Sun City also has monthly tournaments for its own members. For 2012 club president Henry Vaughn, the club is a way to make new friends and get exercise.
After meeting a woman who played croquet in Maine, Vaughn started playing and joined the club when he moved to Sun City in 2002.
"I enjoy the camaraderie of the club, but croquet is a sport that develops your mental and physical capabilities," Vaughn said. "After playing for two or three hours, you've probably walked two miles."
Vaughn said he is probably among the top five or six club members who play six-wicket croquet.
Whether a novice or experienced player, the club invites anyone who is interested in croquet.
The club follows a handicap system: The lower the handicap, the more efficient the player is.
A high-low tournament joins lower handicaps with higher handicaps, which can help the novices improve their games, Abrahamson said.
"The unique thing about our club is the diversity of the players," Abrahamson said. "We have two oversized courts that can have several different games going on with all different experienced players. We have the best courts here in Sun City."

Pool Salt systems, what they are and how they work
"Hi, I'm changing from a chlorine, to a salt water pool, what do I need to do" This is a question I get a lot these days from folks trying to figure out exactly what they need for this technology to work. A common misconception is that when switching to a salt generator, your pool will become a "salt water pool" or in other words would be like the ocean and kill bacteria based on the salinity instead of a sanitizer like chlorine.
This simply isn't the case, in simple terms yes the pool will have a concentration of salt water just like the ocean, but it couldn't be any more different from our blue seas. The concentration of salt in the ocean can be as high as 35,000-40,000 Parts Per Million or PPM. In comparison our body is about 4,000 PPM and fresh water is considered anything below 1000 PPM salinity concentrations. The salt water pool's "sweet spot" for salinity is between 2700 and 3400 PPM. This level is usually below what most swimmers can even taste. So if the salinity in the pool doesn't do the sanitizing, exactly what does?
The simple answer would be chlorine! Yes that's right, salt water pools still use chlorine to kill bacteria in the water. The difference is now your pool makes chlorine from breaking the salt in to its two main parts; Sodium and chloride. How does it do this, you ask? This is where the salt generator system comes into play. Each salt pool system consists of 2 separate pieces of equipment, the salt generator cell and the salt control system and power supply. Inside the salt cell are many plates all stacked and charged opposite of the neigboring stack, so one salt cell plate would have a negative the next cell is a positive charge and so on. The number of plates in a salt cell is determined by the size of pool or how many gallons of water the unit can chlorinate effectively.
As the salty water passes through the cell a process known as electrolysis breaks the salt down into chlorine on one side of the plates and caustic soda and hydrogen at the other. The chlorine effectively super chlorinates or shocks the water as it is created and kills off any bacteria, while a residual amount is retained to continue to sanitize. After the sanitized water passes though the salt cell , we realize the real beauty of the salt pool system. The chemical components come back together to once again form salt and the process starts all over again. So what that means is - once pool's salt level is brought up to a proper PPM, no additional salt will need to be added, only what is either evaporated or splashed out of the pool.
This brings me to the next question I typically get, which is "how do I determine how much salt to put in and what kind?" well the first part of the question isn't too easy as each pool will have a different amount of salt already in it. A 30,000 gallon pool would take about 800 pounds of salt be added into the water to bring it to 3200PPM. There are several different ways to see how much salt is actually in the water. The most simple and least accurate is to use a salt test strip test to determine salinity. The best option would be an electronic device that is dipped into the water to determine how much salt content is present - these work by simply measuring resistance of the water or how well it passes electricity.
The second part of the question, what kind of salt, is much easier to answer. You want to get as pure salt as can be found, as impurities will cause scale buildup on the cell. At least 99% pure salt is recommended by most salt generator system manufacturers, and there are now companies that are producing salt specifically branded as "pool salt" which is very pure. The pools chlorine is checked just like any other pool, with the appropriate test kit. Basically the only difference between a normal pool and a salt water pool is how the chlorine is introduced; all other aspects of maintenance are the same. Although a closer eye should be kept on water balance as an imbalance can cause scaling or corrosion or a host of other problems.
The chlorine generator salt cell may be the business end of the system, but the heart and soul would be the salt controller and power supply. This piece of electronics is the most expensive component in the system and it is also the most technically advanced. Most systems on the market now will tell you when you have a low/high salt condition, and will have a few different settings for chlorine output. The more advanced systems can be as sophisticated as to tell you the exact salt PPM and even how much chlorine is in the pool. They can also let the user know of any problems with the cell and clean the cell automatically when needed or alert the user to the need to clean scale from the salt cell.
Most salt water systems can be hooked up to a total pool controller system which monitors every aspect of the pools chemistry and can control all systems for a completely hands off approach to pool maintenance. Most control units also have a super chlorinate or "shock" function when needed to get rid of any chloramines that may be present or after a high bather load is experienced. During warm summer months the system may need a longer run time to fully sanitize the pool water and to prevent algae growth. The control system also converts the 110 volt household current to 12 volt or 24 dc power for the cells electrolysis plates.
All in all there are a lot of benefits to going to a salt system, the major one being that chlorine tablets will never need to be purchased again as the pool makes its own. Most swimmers in a salt pool report that the water feels softer and their skin felt smoother and softer after a swim as well. Also a homeowner will not have to touch chlorine which can be dangerous to your health and skin. There are however other maintenance that needs to be performed, such as making sure a stabilizer is used and enough present ( CYA levels between 60-80PPM like any other pool) so the chlorine doesn't simply bleach out in the sun. Also a close eye on water balance, especially PH and Calcium Hardness levels, should be kept to avoid any scaling or corrosive conditions.
Another benefit is that most swimmers won't feel the effects of the chlorine as much because most chloramines, the used up chlorine that typically causes most eye/skin irritation, is burned up when electrolysis happens. A salt water pool has many benefits that most homeowners will enjoy, so what are you waiting for? Stop buying chlorine! Buy a salt water chlorinator instead!
If you have a salt pool system already - tell us by commenting below how you like using a saltwater generator for your pool!

What club owner wouldn't invest in a program that brings in 350 to 375 physician-referred participants each month, 43 percent of whom translate into members? It's a program that has served ACAC Fitness & Wellness Centers well. The chain of six regional health clubs based in Charlottesville, VA, has offered its Physician Referred Exercise Program (PREP) since 2004. During that time, the program has brought in more than$14 million in membership dues, ancillary sales and other upgrades.
PREP is a low-cost program that helps patients take small steps toward creating a regular exercise habit. Physicians write a fitness prescription to refer patients to the PREP program. Participants pay $60 for a 60-day introduction to exercise at ACAC, which is "significantly lower than our market rate," says Phil Wendel, owner of ACAC clubs.
In July 2010 alone, the PREP program brought in 350 participants for the company. Since its start, PREP has gained referrals from nearly 1,600 doctors. Plus, 43 percent of PREP participants purchase an annual membership once the initial program is complete. Conversions from the PREP program account for 20 percent to 25 percent of new membership sales at the ACAC facilities, Wendel says.
"We feel it's a membership economic engine of our club growth," says Wendel. "If people enroll in PREP, at the end of the 60-day period, we want them to purchase a full membership."
The average PREP program conversion member stays at the club for more than two years, he says.
Once enrolled, PREP patients attend two 30-minute small group training sessions per week. They are supervised by medical fitness professionals, including a registered nurse, exercise physiologists and degreed, certified medical fitness staff. The staff tracks their vital signs at each visit and reports participants' progress to the referring physicians at regular intervals. Participants have unlimited access to the club during their 60-day memberships.
"There's one nurse on staff at each club," says Wendel. "We need someone who is qualified to meet the needs of people not accustomed to exercise. A lot of club owners, when I give presentations about this, are scared by it and think they can't afford a nurse, but it could be an LPN. It just has to be someone who understands the health benefits of exercise as well as prescriptions."
This medically supervised exercise program is key to earning the trust of medical professionals who refer their patients, Wendel says. In addition, the PREP program delivers measurable results after the first 60 days by incorporating exercise prescriptions, personalized attention from staff and accountability from peers in the small group training sessions.
"You're not going to gain the confidence of physicians unless they feel very strongly that their patient will have good results with you," Wendel says. "Don't take physician referrals unless you have the infrastructure in place to be sure individuals have success in the first 60 days at your club."
To get a foot in the door with local medical professionals, ACAC started a medical advisory board about five years ago composed of several doctors who already were members of the club.
"We would take them to dinner two or three times a year and pick their brains," Wendel says of the advisory board. "They were members already and already committed to the club. The medical board helped us refine it, but at the end of the day, we do the heavy lifting work."
In addition, the club markets the PREP program through TV, radio and print ads, informational brochures, health fairs, physician office calls and other medical outreach events. Physicians recognize the need for exercise as part of the solution for the nation's obesity epidemic, Wendel says.
"I think most doctors recognize that four out of five people that sit across from them in the exam room are inactive," he says. "And more often today, they recognize that what we do for a living is part of a good health continuum."

Its certainly cutely drawn.... and quite silly (kind of a Gilligan-baka + a pile of Mary Anns/Gingers?). We'll certainly give it a few episodes...

OK just got done watching the first eps and yeah
This is to much like Girls Bravo. Im a huge harem fan and yeah this one i think ill pass. I can already pretty much tell what every eps is gona be about. They gona have the random girl of the day. Fallowed with almost every girl trying 2 "steel him" Its already clear he is gona end up with the brown haired girl.
All the other girls are already showed as "Evil" He was founded and saved by the same girl. It would of been so much better if the grandma would of found it and led to the girls warming up to him. So much potienal wasted.
Hell i can already predict the ending they are all gona find a way out of the island right after iko and the brown haired girl become "offical" ala girls bravo, but hey aleast girls bravo gave 1 other girl a chance wich was his long time friend. This one looks so cut and dry its just gona get stale real fast.
Ill give this show a couple more eps maybe ill get shocked and they do reset what just happened. Then at the end when a girl is picked its a real question and not just ok he is ending up with the brown hair girl we already know it.

I just watched the Ayako release, and while the show itself is as good as expected, the fansub was awful. I have limited understanding of japanese and even i could spot the mistakes. Not to mention the bad editing of the english.
That alone wouldnt cause me to gripe, since groups usually get better as a show progresses, but what was with the encoding? Right off the bat it starts hogging 50% of the processor and at several times during the ep it became laggy because it was taking 100%, and i have an AMD 4800.
Hopefully they improve their encoding aswell as their editing >.<
As for the ep, depending on how they follow the manga it could be a great show. However after been let down so much recently by failed manage conversion *cough*D.Gray-Man*cough* im not sure im going to put any faith in them following the manga for long
The art style is great and the girls are just to damned cute for their own good. Cant wait to see future episodes.

I am doing it myself :P After talking it over with the group i work with they picked it up as one of the shows they're doing this season.
Also, please read the FULL post i made before commenting. I didnt really have a issue with the bad translation or editing, since if you'd read the full thing, you'd of noticed i'd said those usually improve as they go.
As for the encoding, frankly as both a lover of subs and a subber i like to here if there's problems with an encode. When AA started our encodes were terrible, we learnt as we went and had the errors pointed out by those that DLed and watched the releases.
Also, i only commented on the bad encoding because Ayako's releases are usually okay, this is the first one ive had trouble with.
Finally, its RAW not rar :P

No offence to Ayako cause i think they do a great job as i can pretty much understand most of the subtitle and some of the mistakes made aren't that bad and you can basically guess what they are trying to say. I watch their subs cause it's fast for people who don't want to wait too long for quality subs...
When watching speed subs you must jump into it knowing that you won't get the best quality, just the fastest release... That way you won't be dissapointed with preconceived notions of what you expected from subbing groups.

An okay episode really good animation the characters all seem to be likeable. But I felt like the comedy/jokes went by too fast for it to sink in like they move on to the next joke as quickly as possible. I'll continue watching this eventhough I'll be typical harem series but as long the characters stay likeable I'll keep watching. Oh and I loved the animatin very slick hope they keep this up.

To me, it just seems like to much work to make 2 versions for speed subs.
I still love the begining of the anime, im glad they kept it the same as the manga. Fished out of the sea, beaten up, kissed and blew up >.< funny as hell.
Suzu is as cute as i imagine her to be and her voice is just goregeous. I'm looking forward to the next ep cause:

It was nice watching this episode. On a sidenote about errors and stuff, why not post the errors in the "new" Ayako forums at http://ayako.desudesu.net/forum where the staff participate in? I'm sure if you point out where the errors are at least one of them will note it.
I'm a regular in Ayako channel because they're subbing many series that I like and they've recently been producing better quality releases every time, especially in this Spring season. It's obvious that they are trying to bridge the gap between speedsubs and quality.

TBH the episode does rate as a mistake. Bad editing, bad english and encoding. All three make for a bad release.
That aside, if you read the forum you posted, you'd see a post admiting the encode wasnt done right because it was a rush job:
But since they've already admited the encode was a rush job, and that future ones are going to be better, i dont see the point to run it into the ground anymore.
@Jerseykid lol but where would the fun in that be Having the hero as a sexual wimp gives us something to complain about :P Besides, you cant have a harem show without the wimpy guy, its like a jam sandwich without the jam
That said, if they follow the manga it should prove to be an interesting show, and they're giving a full 26 eps, so it has a lot of breathing room. If they were going to cram it into 13 id of been disapointed.

I haven't seen the subbed episode yet, but surely it can't be that bad? As someone said before though, don't bitch. If you don't fansub you just shouldn't bitch at all, and if you bitch, and you're going to fansub the series as well, then that's just bad sportsmanship and frankly, a little sad on your part.
Anyways, for the people who didn't like it, the piki or whatever it's called says 2 more groups will be doing it. I havn't heard of either though ~_~. But since the latter of the 2 groups updated the piki no more than a week ago, I suppose they're really intending on doing it.
About the episode itself, I liked it High Definition for the win I completely hated the OP and ED, but that might just be me and my ability to not like voices like hers.
The animation was okay, nothing outstanding, nothing really bad either. Thank god it's not another Girls Bravo, animation-wise. ~_~.
Yeah, looking forward to episode 2

Girls Bravo wouldnt have been so bad if it hadn't been so badly censored, and the second season was mostly just seeing how they could push the border between anime and hentai >.<
I didnt bother listening to the OP or ED to be honest, its very rare that i ever listen to them. Much rather just get right into the show lol.
The only OP and ED i listen through fully Saiunkoku Monogatari and Utawarerumono, both had something that grabed me from the outset and i couldnt fast forward through >.<

Late yesterday,Dearborn's biggest employer announced its second-quarter loss was a bit more than the numbers CFO Don LeClair and CWFO (Chief Way Forward Officer) Mark Fields reported earlier this month. Thus, it's now necessary to file a new earnings report with the SEC. And by "a bit more" we mean it went from a loss of $131 million to a loss of $254 million. How do you miss that one? Wait...there's an explanation here somewhere...ah, here it is. FoMoCo said the reason behind the shift from not profitable to even less profitable was due to "higher than expected estimates for pension curtailment loss." Basically, pensions cost the company more than they thought from all of those early retirements. You know, that's kinda like the one thing they should have known...
...was going to be an issue. We mean, come on, they only had published charts lining up the benefit/payout to years of service. Why wouldn't that be difficult to discern, right?
But what's really weird is Bill Fords baby initially showed a loss due to "fewer sales of large sport utility vehicles coupled with one-time employee buyout costs." Why do wethinks maybe the first loss was just the "fewer sales" part? Just a guess.

Turns out the iPad Mini isn't quite so mini after all.
The new Mini, unveiled today during a media event in San Jose, is a bit larger and more expensive than some of its key competitors, particularly the Google Nexus 7, which starts at $199.
Apple's Mini retails for $329 to start, and its 7.9 inch screen is slightly larger than the 7-inch tablets coming from Google and Amazon ($160).
Read Caleb Garling's hands-on with the iPad mini
Apple-watchers had predicted for some time that the company would release a device to compete with such smaller tablets as the Nexus 7 and Samsung's Galaxy Note. Cupertino didn't disappoint. Amid an applauding crowd, Phil Schiller, Apple's vice president of international marketing, unveiled the new device.
"What else can we do to help customers find more ways to use iPad?" he rhetorically teased the crowd. He went on, "This isn't just a shrunken down iPad."
But, judging by the specs, it does seem to be. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. The iPad is unwieldy in a single hand for most people. I own the Nexus 7 and can attest that it's wonderful to read while doing things with the other hand like eating or even flipping through TV channels.
Despite listing impressive, though uncited statistics — CEO Tim Cook said iPads account for 91% of tablet web traffic — Apple seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Google's tablet was a competitor. Schiller made numerous comparison's between the two devices, noting the iPad has a bigger and better screen (though the device is bigger all together). While the iPad is the unquestioned tablet leader, the Android operating system — what Google, Samsung and numerous other devices run on — recently surpassed iOS in a survey by comScore.
Other highlights from today's announcement:
- A new 13-inch Macbook Pro with high-resolution display that weighs less than 3.5 pounds.
- A new iMac, 80 percent thinner and eight pounds lighter, starting at $1,299.It will be built with 'friction stir welding' and 'plasma deposition,' both of which are actual techniques not developed by Apple
- An update to the current iPad, giving it a faster chip.
I am heading upstairs shortly and will update after a hands on with the iPad Mini.
Read all the new specs on the Apple products here.

Sometimes, traditional funding sources are not available to certain individuals or for certain types of projects.
Sometimes, traditional funding sources are not available to certain individuals or for certain types of projects.
Crowdfunding can help these individuals, companies or organizations raise funds with smaller contributions, loans or offers of equity from a large pool of participants, lenders or investors.
The methodology employed is referred to as crowdsourcing, and the solicitations are typically referred to as campaigns. There is indeed safety in numbers, and it is easier to get "investors" to risk or donate $10 than $100,000. What they expect in return is a function of the methodology employed by the website chosen for the campaign.
There are four major types of crowdsourcing: equity-based, where participants receive ownership (typically stock) in exchange for their investment; lender-based, where participants lend money with an expectation of being paid back with a reasonable rate of return; reward-based, where participants receive incentives based on their level of giving; and donation-based, where there is no expected financial or tangible return.
According to a 2012 report published by Crowdsourcing.org, the group had 450-plus crowdfunding sites worldwide as members in its directory, and those sites collectively raised almost $1.5 billion in more than a million campaigns. Given the wide scope of crowdfunding sites, it is best to do thorough research to find the one that best matches your project and fundraising needs.
One of the most familiar incentive-based websites is Kickstarter (kickstarter.com). Kickstarter campaigns have stated goals that must be attained before any funds are disbursed. Kickstarter receives a 5 percent fee for funds collected in a successful campaign. Typical projects are related to creative arts or technology.
Another well-known site is Indiegogo (indiegogo.com). It is a little broader in the scope of the projects it supports, and on its site you can keep whatever funds you raise. You pay 9 percent of funds below your goal and 4 percent if you attain your goal.
An example of a lending/philanthropic site is Kiva (kiva.org). Kiva has a worldwide mission to help alleviate poverty by offering small loans to entrepreneurs throughout the developing world. Funds are lent out, repaid and lent out again.
An example of an equity-based crowdfunding site is StartUpValley (startupvalley.com). Currently the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority are ironing out regulations regarding equity-based crowdfunding. Sites like these typically target early-stage tech companies.
Keep in mind that any funding raised through these means may be taxable. It's best to consult your accountant to make sure you set aside the necessary funds for taxes before spending it on your project. If your credit is marginal and the banks have said no, if your needs are relatively modest and your goals are realistic, if your artistic vision needs funding to be expressed "� Don't be afraid to say 'please.'

TRACY - Normally, big plays help win big games. That did not happen Friday night.
TRACY - Normally, big plays help win big games. That did not happen Friday night.
Tracy started off each half with a big play but despite three touchdowns from Nate Jones, Carmichael-Jesuit's balanced attack allowed the Marauders to pull away with a 49-28 win in quarterfinal action of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs at Wayne Schneider Stadium.
After holding Jesuit (9-3) to three and out on the game's first series, Brandon Russell busted through from the right side of the Tracy line and blocked a punt, giving the Bulldogs (10-2) the ball at the Marauders 6-yard line.
Three plays later Jones scored and Tracy was up 6-0.
"It was open right from the start," Russell said of the punt block. "I knew I had to put my body on the line for the team and that is what I did."
The Marauders brought a 21-6 lead into the second half, and that lasted all of 12seconds.
Jones returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards to draw the Bulldogs within 21-14, but Jesuit scored the game's next 21 points and was never threatened again.
Jones led all rushers with 120 yards on 19 carries and added another score on a 26-yard pass from Damon Stroup. Chaz Briggs touched the ball once for Tracy and scored on a 21-yard run.
"On that kickoff return I just grabbed it, saw daylight and followed my blockers," Jones said. "The blockers did their job and it opened up like the Red Sea."
After a slow start Jesuit quarterback Jason Elenberger settled into a rhythm, completing 7 of 11 passes for 181 yards with touchdown throws of 25 and 76 yards and one interception.
The Marauders running game gave the Bulldogs fits. Elenberger scrambled around and picked up 94 yards on 15 carries with a 19-yard touchdown run.
Ben Parietti scored on runs of 7 an 25 yards and led Jesuit with 111 yards on 17 carries and teammate Beau Bisharat had 115 yards on just nine carries with a 58-yard touchdown run and scored on an 85-yard kickoff return.
"We just didn't tackle very well," Tracy coach Matt Shrout said.
"We didn't do the little things. What we did all week long in practice we just couldn't do tonight. They were just a good team. They come right at you and hit you in the mouth.
"I never thought we would finish the regular season at 9-1. If we played real well, maybe 8-2, but 7-3 was probably a better guess. I think our boys played real well this year."

I dont see why we cant at least do the same or even win. Only 1 and a half out could go down to 1 if we win tonight. Lets go!

So, show me the facts then. That one is "popular word-wide," beyond the fraternity, as Rob claims, an the other is "just a footnote in art history," as Russ claims.
Game, set and match.
If you were to ask the guy in the street who the best snapper is, hell invariably reply David Bailey.
Henri was one of the finest artists of the twentieth century, and certainly the most influential photographer of the century. Ansel did some good work, but as far as the history of the art is concerned, next to Henri Ansel's a footnote.
Judge, jury and executioner?
If you were to ask the guy of a certain age... he'll invariably reply...
Im sorry, but American awards to American artists is a pretty meaningless concept outwith the American circus, be it Hollywood or the galleries. Its like Nashville and Grand Ole Oprey who knows any of them or gives a shit?
If you go to the better bookshops in Britain, it aint Adams books you find folks looking at if there are any - its the Boys of Paris. And that includes old Helmut too, because thats where he made himself.
OK, smarty-pantses. Somebody somewhere (and some time ago for most of us) some single photographer inspired you to either pick up a camera or learn to use the one you had.Who was that photographer?
Henri's pictures enlighten us.
Clearly you don't. But somehow I think the international reputation of the American art community will survive, despite your summary judgement.Frankly your account of what's going on in art book stores sounds 20 years out of date. Helmut Newton? Really? His popularity peaked circa 1992. While it's true that you won't find much of Ansel's work on the shelves today, many American photographers are quite well represented at UK art book dealers. More so, in fact, than the "Boys of Paris". THE premiere retailer of photography monographs in the UK is photobookstore.co.uk. You'll find no shortage of Americans there--but not a single monograph of HCB's work, or Helmut's for that matter. Frank, Eggleston, Hido, Winogrand, Misrach, Meyrowitz, Klein, Friedlander (to name a few)--yes. Japanese photographers, like Moriyama and Nishimura, are also quite popular. These are the photographers whose books the serious collectors are buying in the UK and around the world today, not the old French guard. It would seem there are a few people left in the world who don't share your contempt for American artists.
Francisco mentioned Ernst Haas. Undoubtedly one of the true stars of modern photographyu, and also a maker of seminal books, but an American? From Vienna?Rob C
Scientific proof that AA is twice as popular as HCB:I rest my case

Reviewed by Jack S. (age 8)
At the end of the school year, Wesley's dad gave Wesley an idea. Wesley used the stuff he learned from school to make a project. He turned over soil and that night the west wind blew over his garden. Wesley's plants got really big and he couldn't find them in any plant book. A lot of animals came and stayed on his plants.
My favorite parts are when he is playing the game with his schoolmates and when he is building his platform for the hot weather. They are my favorite parts because they are exciting and interesting.
In Weslandia, Wesley changes in the end. At first, he has no friends. Then they all want to be like him. They dress like him and they like him.
I think the book was a good book. I really liked the book because it is really exciting and has a lot of details. A message in this book is never be mean to a person just because he is not like you.
I recommend this book to a second or third grader because it is an exciting book. If you like plants or like interesting books you will like this book. A kid that likes inventions would like this book too.

Much will go to middle and high school Bio teachers
New York state is setting aside $14 million to promote stem cell research and education.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the program on Wednesday. It will fund short-term stem cell research opportunities for middle- and high-school biology teachers.
Cuomo says giving teachers the opportunity to conduct stem-cell research is a good way of spurring student interest in the cutting-edge research. He says the initiative is intended to encourage more students to consider careers in the biomedical research field.
The money will also support direct research as well as efforts to encourage science museums to host lectures and exhibits detailing the importance and the challenges of stem cell research.

It's a Trend! 3 Dirt Cheap DIY Electric Cars
December 2nd, 2008 by Benjamin Jones
So you want a 100% electric car for commuting or running errands in your town or small city.
Maybe you've dreamt of whipsering down the road in a clean, quiet Tesla roadster … and then you woke up screaming at the thought of the $109,000 U.S. price tag.
In that case, may we present the other end of the EV spectrum: a trio of street legal electric cars converted from gasoline to battery power for an average price of $1450 each. (No, that's not a typo.)
We have written previously about Project ForkenSwift, the electric Geo Metro made from forklift and golf cart parts for the princely sum of $672 (its build cost has since crept up to $955 - details in part 3). At that time, it might have been easy to dismiss that low-cost grocery getter as an unrealistic one-off, assembled by obsessively cost-conscious builders.
But since then, two more affordable, electric runabouts (their motors also sourced from used forklifts) have hit the streets. Which lends proof to the idea that electric drive does not have to be prohibitively expensive for the motivated tinkerer (note that we specifically didn't say "experienced" or "skilled" tinkerer).
To be clear, nobody is pretending for a moment that these cars can go even remotely as fast or as far as a Tesla. But compare on "cost per range" or "cost per MPH", and they've got the roadster beat!

OK, OK, so the average motorist won't be lusting after these cars for their range & performance specs (or their looks, for that matter). They probably wouldn't even meet the current daily needs of the motoring majority. But that doesn't mean "medium speed", relatively short-range EV's can't be practical for some drivers. Used in the context they were designed for, the owners of these cars each report that they are useful and fun vehicles.
In this 5 part series, we'll find out how they did it, what lessons they learned along the way, and what advice they have for others thinking about inexpensive EV conversions.
Next, the three EV amigos:

A Veteran, Writer, and Mom
By Nate Stout
Chelsea Carter is no stranger to challenge. As an alumnus of the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Science, Carter majored in media & communications and is now in her first year in UW Bothell's new Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program. Carter reflects on the hard won path that brought her to UW Bothell.
Before pursuing academic and creative development, Carter began her career in the U.S. Marine Corp, an experience which she credits for her work ethic, perseverance, and grit.
But it also took its toll on her physically. "During boot camp I marched on broken feet for weeks and didn't know it. The pain was unreal, but I was determined to finish, and I did."
Beyond the Marine Corps, Carter found herself raising two kids on her own while facing economic instability. The experience brought her into contact with Hopelink, a local non-profit that provides services to families in need. Hopelink made it possible for Carter to finish her associate degree and move on to UW Bothell.
"I was in community college and felt pretty set on going into journalism. I researched different BA programs in the area, came across the media & communications program, and was intrigued by the range of possible directions I could go. I've been pleasantly surprised by the depth and complexity of the challenges I've faced here at UW Bothell."
Taking advantage of the program's flexible path toward her BA, Carter's journalistic interests shifted toward more generative and expressive forms of writing. Experimenting with memoir, poetry, research-based historical fiction, and getting exposure to unorthodox styles in the Masters in Fine Arts program Carter's voice has begun to emerge.
"In my mind, writing is at the center of everything," Carter says. "I can find a parallel in the writing process with any form of creativity, and as I gain exposure to different forms of writing I acquire new methods of recognizing and expressing life experience."
Carter recently joined Hopelink's board of directors, an opportunity she views as a way of giving back to the people that made it possible for her to find her voice. Carter brings experience and creativity to this year's first Masters of Fine Arts cohort at UW Bothell. She is sure to bring recognition to the program on the road ahead.
Carter is dedicated to the continued development of her voice and helping others find their own. "I'd like to travel and teach, and continue to study writing across cultures. There will always be new forms and new approaches to learn. I hope to continue to grow and be able to help others grow through my writing."
Volunteering for Childhood Development
By Marlene Manzo
Trained and registered "Rover" team member takes a break. Photo used with permission by Reading with Rover.
Literacy skills are essential for childhood development, and Katie Divito makes it easier for struggling students to improve their reading skills. Divito is a second grade teacher at Odyssey Elementary School in Everett and a student in the Masters of Education Program at UW Bothell.
Divito understands the importance of literacy in the life of a child and participates in a non-traditional method of teaching literacy. The Reading with Rover program is a community- based literacy program volunteering in schools, bookstores and libraries in the Puget Sound area.
In the "Rover" program service dogs like Ava, Divito's boxer, serve as an unbiased mentor for students. The students read to the dogs without fear of judgment or stress from their peers. Divito says, "The students don't feel the pressure that they do when they read to their teacher; they're not worried that they will make a mistake. They know the dog won't judge them."
She has noticed the students find comfort in holding or petting Ava. Katie says "it was surreal" to see Ava and the student interact and understand one another.
Divito created a video on her work with Reading with Rover for her Stories as Teachers class. "I thought I would share it with my immediate class," she says, never imaging it would receive much attention.
In a matter of 12 hours, Divito was offered a scholarship for her work. Her scholarship was awarded through the Reading with Rover program. This scholarship will allow both Katie and Ava to do an extensive training session where Ava will officially become a certified Reading with Rover dog.
Divito is thrilled to embark on this new journey and continue to change the lives of her students. She will graduate in fall 2013. To view her video and read more about the program, visit: www.uwb.edu/education/programnews

Using Performance Theater to Convey a Message
By Andrew Nguyen
After retiring from a career in law enforcement, Omer Terrason stepped back in to the academic realm in spring 2011 to pursue his passion for performing arts and social justice at The School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Science.
A year later Terrason produced and directed The Zoo Story, a theater play written in 1958 by American playwright Edward Albee. The play focuses on isolation and social stratification, an image of how society has become disconnected.
The Zoo Story tells the story of Jerry, an isolated and disheartened man who is desperate to have a meaningful conversation with another human being. Jerry meets Peter, a middle-class publishing executive and family man. The entire play is set at a park bench in New York Central Park where the two meet.
Terrason says, "We live in isolation, and in proverbial cages, where our lives and our actions are being watched but not understood. In the play, the characters acknowledge each other's existence, but they are unable to communicate because of the social constructs regarding socio-economic dichotomies. In my opinion, these parables are more relevant today than they were sixty years ago, when Albee wrote the play."
Terrason is guided by his experience witnessing a homeless man in clear need of medical attention being ignored by bystanders in downtown Seattle. While in the culture, literature, and the arts degree program at the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, Terrason wanted to understand the origins of such social behavior, intolerance, and violence.
In addition to other coursework, he took every performing arts course including acting, script-writing, directing, and film analysis. Terrason had a message to communicate.
It took the culmination of everything he had learned to produce and hone his vision for the play. "A director must communicate effectively bring a vision to life for the actors, creative team, investors, theater operators, and the most important group of all - the audience," he says.
The play was showcased in spring 2012 at UW Bothelland was well received by faculty members and students.
Terrason is now a first year student in the Masters of Arts in Policy Studies (MAPS) program at UW Bothell. Theater still holds relevance to Terrason's work, saying, "Theater and the performing arts are part of our culture, they stipulate our identity. When our identities are compromised, the fabric that holds our society together weakens.
Terrason will use his time in the MAPS program to, "learn the ways to develop policies that enhance general human condition, and thereby, preserve our culture and our society."

Meeting Student Organization Officers at the UW Bothell Involvement Fair 2012
On September 26 student leaders gathered the codex d promenade to represent their organizations at the Involvement Fair. Whether it is a particular social issue or the desire to form new connections, the Involvement Fair makes it easy to find like-minded peers.
UW Bothell boasts not only a diverse student body but a diverse range of student organizations focusing on topics from Latin American peer mentorship to community-based radio broadcasting. There are more than over 93 registered clubs and organizations and hundreds more club officers.
Below, we spotlight just a few of the many club officers making a difference in the local community.
Global Women's and Girls Empowerment
Alyssa Nevala and Kimmy Blume represent the UW Bothell Chapter of Stirring the Fire.
The mission of Stirring the Fire is spreading awareness of gender-based issues around the world, and acting as a connecting point for UW Bothell students to become involved in meaningful ways. Stirring the Fire is a Seattle based nonprofit focusing on global gender equality.
"Many of us became involved after founder Phil Borges gave a presentation in Professor Ashbaugh's Women Across Cultures course. More personally, I am involved because my academic work highlighted the continuing significance of gender-based issues and STF provides a way to take action," says Nevala.
This autumn the UW Bothell chapter will focus on women's participation in politics around the world.
Spearheading UW Bothell's Development of Sustainable Practices
Aaron Huston and Liliana Olivella are leaders of the Sustainability Organization of UW Bothell and Cascadia Community College.
On October 24 UW Bothell celebrates Campus Sustainability Day. Members of the Sustainability Organization will promote recycling and composting, as well as the use of reusable water bottles and water fountains provided on campus.
Huston, "We promote practices such as decreasing the use of plastic bottles that are sold because of the toxins in the bottles and the negative environmental impact."
Stay tuned for information on Earth Day 2013, an annual sustainability event that happens each April.
Tomorrow's Doctors and Dentists
Christopher Chin, Co-President, says, "Through volunteering in the community we can become better healthcare providers. We also want members to be competitive when they apply to medical school and we support this by volunteering, gaining opportunities to observe professional practices, and undergraduate research."
The Future Healthcare Professionals Society (FHPS) at the University of Washington Bothell was created to advocate for dedicated pre-medical, dental and pharmacy students who exhibit passion to be competitive applicants to the professional school in which they apply. The FHPS hosts volunteer and learning opportunities in partnership with pre-med honor societies, Seattle Children's Hospital, and the Washington Academy of Family Physicians.
"We are inspired to redefine what it means to be a pre-medical, dental or pharmacy student. Traditionally the notion of competitive tactics has fueled students towards success. We encourage a new school of thought that re-roots to the ideas of inspiring change and making a difference in the lives of the underserved and those in need," Chin says.

The world can be a scary place. Anxious adults want children to be aware of dangers, but shouldn't kids be aware of kindness too?
Michael Leannah wrote Most People as an antidote to the scary words and images kids hear and see every day. Jennifer Morris's emotive, diverting characters provide the perfect complement to Leannah's words, leading us through the crowded streets of an urban day in the company of two pairs of siblings (one of color). We see what they see: the hulking dude with tattoos and chains assisting an elderly lady onto the bus; the Goth teenager with piercings and purple Mohawk returning a lost wallet to its owner; and the myriad interactions of daily existence, most of them well intended. Most People is a courageous, constructive response to the dystopian world of the news media. Color throughout

Information for Patients
Back Injuries
Your back is made of bones, muscles, and other tissues extending from your neck to your pelvis. Back injuries can result from sports injuries, work around the house or in the garden, or a sudden jolt such as a car accident. The lower back is the most common site of back injuries and back pain. Common back injuries include
- Sprains and strains
- Herniated disks
- Fractured vertebrae
These injuries can cause pain and limit your movement. Treatments vary but might include medicines, icing, bed rest, physical therapy, or surgery. You might be able to prevent some back injuries by maintaining a healthy weight, lifting objects with your legs, and using lower-back support when you sit.

Foreign Bodies
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
Some foreign bodies, like a small splinter, do not cause serious harm. Inhaled or swallowed foreign bodies may cause choking or bowel obstruction and may require medical care.

Wounds and Injuries
Also called: Traumatic injuries
An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more. In the U.S., millions of people injure themselves every year. These injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, or walking across the street.
Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They often happen because of an accident, but surgery, sutures, and stitches also cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren't serious, but it is important to clean them. Serious and infected wounds may require first aid followed by a visit to your doctor. You should also seek attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get the dirt out, or it does not heal.
Other common types of injuries include
- Animal bites
- Bruises
- Burns
- Dislocations
- Electrical injuries

I've been listening to the radio about this tragic killing in Arizona.
From what I'm hearing, there was a rush to assign blame.
First it was Sarah Palin and the Tea Party to blame.
But wait, the (suspect) did not have any connection with Palin or the Tea Party.
In fact, to the best of my knowledge, the (alleged) killer was not a fan or supporter of any elected official. Come to think about it, why kill a 9-year-old if it was a political statement of some kind?
Then from what I heard on the radio, I guess somebody wants to blame the gun.

This section discusses how to install MySQL from the latest development source code.
To obtain the source tree, you must have Bazaar installed. The Bazaar VCS Web site has instructions for downloading and installing Bazaar on different platforms. Bazaar is supported on any platform that supports Python, and is therefore compatible with any Linux, Unix, Windows, or OS X host.
MySQL development projects are hosted on Launchpad. MySQL projects, including MySQL Server, MySQL Workbench, and others are available from the Oracle/MySQL Engineering page. For the repositories related only to MySQL Server, see the MySQL Server page.
To build under Unix/Linux, you must have the following tools installed:
A good make program. Although some platforms come with their own make implementations, it is highly recommended that you use GNU make 3.75 or newer. It may already be available on your system as gmake. GNU make is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/make/.
autoconf 2.58 (or newer), available from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/.
automake 1.8.1, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/.
libtool 1.5, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/. 1.5.24 or later is recommended.
m4, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/.
bison 2.1 or newer, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/. (Version 1 is no longer supported.) Use the latest version of bison where possible; if you experience problems, upgrade to a later version, rather than revert to an earlier one.
To build under Windows you must have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, Visual Studio .Net 2003 (7.1), or Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) compiler system.
Once the necessary tools are installed, create a local branch of the MySQL development tree on your machine using this procedure:
To obtain a copy of the MySQL source code, you must create a new Bazaar branch. If you do not already have a Bazaar repository directory set up, you must initialize a new directory:
mkdir mysql-servershell>
bzr init-repo --trees mysql-server
This is a one-time operation.
Assuming that you have an initialized repository directory, you can branch from the public MySQL server repositories to create a local source tree. To create a branch of a specific version:
cd mysql-servershell>
bzr branch lp:mysql-server/5.1 mysql-5.1
This is a one-time operation per source tree. You can branch
the source trees for several versions of MySQL under the
mysql-server directory.
The initial download will take some time to complete, depending on the speed of your connection. Please be patient. Once you have downloaded the first tree, additional trees should take significantly less time to download.
When building from the Bazaar branch, you may want to create a copy of your active branch so that you can make configuration and other changes without affecting the original branch contents. You can achieve this by branching from the original branch:
bzr branch mysql-5.1 mysql-5.1-build
To obtain changes made after you have set up the branch
initially, update it using the
pull option
periodically. Use this command in the top-level directory of
the local copy:
bzr pull
To examine the changeset comments for the tree, use the
log option to bzr:
shell> bzr log
You can also browse changesets, comments, and source code online at the Launchpad MySQL Server page.
If you see diffs (changes) or code that you have a question
about, do not hesitate to send email to the MySQL
internals mailing list. See
Section 1.6.1, "MySQL Mailing Lists". If you think you have a
better idea on how to do something, send an email message to
the list with a patch.
After you have the local branch, you can build MySQL server from the source code. On Windows, the build process is different from Unix/Linux: see Section 2.11.7, "Installing MySQL from Source on Windows".
On Unix/Linux, use the autoconf system to create the configure script so that you can configure the build environment before building. The following example shows the typical commands required to build MySQL from a source tree.
Change location to the top-level directory of the source tree;
mysql-5.1 with the
appropriate directory name.
cd mysql-5.1
Prepare the source tree for configuration.
Prior to MySQL 5.1.12, you must separately configure the
InnoDB storage engine. Run the following
command from the main source directory:
(cd storage/innobase; autoreconf --force --install)
You can omit the previous command for MySQL 5.1.12 and later,
or if you do not require
InnoDB support.
Prepare the remainder of the source tree:
autoreconf --force --install
As an alternative to the preceding autoreconf command, you can use BUILD/autorun.sh, which acts as a shortcut for the following sequence of commands:
aclocal; autoheadershell>
libtoolize --automake --forceshell>
automake --force --add-missing; autoconf
If you get some strange errors during this stage, verify that you have the correct version of libtool installed.
Configure the source tree and compile MySQL:
./configure # Add your favorite options hereshell>
For a description of some configure options, see Section 2.11.4, "MySQL Source-Configuration Options".
A collection of configuration scripts is located in the
BUILD/ subdirectory. For example, you may
find it more convenient to use the
BUILD/compile-pentium-debug script than
the preceding set of shell commands. To compile on a different
architecture, modify the script by removing flags that are
Pentium-specific, or use another script that may be more
appropriate. These scripts are provided on an
"as-is" basis. They are not supported and their
contents may change from release to release.
When the build is done, run make install.
Be careful with this on a production machine; the installation
command may overwrite your live release installation. If you
already have MySQL installed and do not want to overwrite it,
run ./configure with values for the
--with-tcp-port, and
options different from those used by your production server.
For additional information about preventing multiple servers
from interfering with each other, see
Section 5.5, "Running Multiple MySQL Instances on One Machine".
Play hard with your new installation. For example, try to make new features crash. Start by running make test. See Section 22.1.2, "The MySQL Test Suite".
If you have gotten to the make stage, but
the distribution does not compile, please enter the problem
into our bugs database using the instructions given in
Section 1.7, "How to Report Bugs or Problems". If you have installed the
latest versions of the required tools, and they crash trying
to process our configuration files, please report that also.
However, if you get a
command not found
error or a similar problem for required tools, do not report
it. Instead, make sure that all the required tools are
installed and that your
PATH variable is
set correctly so that your shell can find them.

Model Bar Refaeli is demanding Pink Floyd lead singer Roger Waters stop using her image at his concerts after he called for a cultural boycott against native Israel.
Waters, who is reportedly a supporter of a campaign called Boycott Divestment and Sanctions against Israel, has written an open letter to his fellow musicians, urging them to stop performing in the country because of what he calls "apartheid" and "ethnic cleansing" in ongoing disputes with neighboring Palestine.
The letter, written on August 18, reads, "Join with me, and thousands of other artists around the world, to declare a cultural boycott on Israel. To shed light on these problems and also to support all our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Israel who are struggling to end all forms of Israeli oppression."
Initially the Sports Illustrated model was thrilled that her picture was used in a 2011 Waters concert, but after reading the letter Refaeli has decided she no longer wants to be linked to the rock legend.
In a tweet she posted in Hebrew on Wednesday, she wrote, "Roger Waters, you better take my picture off of the video art at your shows. If you're boycotting – go all the way."

Woloson a champ
Travis Woloson, a 2010 graduate of Laguna Beach High and now a sophomore outside hitter at UC Irvine, was part of the Anteaters squad that won the 2013 NCAA men's volleyball national title Saturday.
UCI, the tournament's at-large team, swept top-seeded BYU, 25-23, 25-22, 26-24, before 6,295 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. The Anteaters also won the 2012 national title with a sweep of USC, and Saturday's win gave the program back-to-back championships, a first in the sport since UCLA accomplished the feat in 1995-96.
It is the fourth national title in men's volleyball for UCI, which won its first two championships in 2007 and 2009.
A campus celebration was held Tuesday to honor the team.
