Applesmile 1 contribution
Indianapolis, IN
Jun 20, 2009
The guests traveled from all over, even as far away as Costa Rica! We were coordinating the wedding from a distance. The staff was so helpful and coopertive with all the planning. Once there, they went way beyond the "call of duty" in helping make the wedding a huge success. The setting is tranquil and beautiful. The cabins are quaint, clean, and inviting. If you like fresh air, mountain drives, Jack pines, observing gray squirrels and Stellars Jays plus a super accommodating staff, this is the place for you! Quiet Creek Inn helped make our son's and daughter in law's wedding a most enjoyable and memorable occassion.
Thank you, Quiet Creek!

the charrnock woman
Images I Digital animation artist Steven Aiton works with Narrogin Primary School students to recreate the tale of the Charrnock Woman.
This story begins back in the dreamtime. When the Charrnock woman, an evil spirit, would wander from kallep to kallep (campfires), stealing little koolongurs (children). She was very tall, taller than the jarrah trees, with long white hair to catch the spirit children in … so she could free her arms and gather more spirit children. She then fed the kidnapped spirit children to her 'man' who dwelled in a cave near Wave Rock.
This story was told during one of the Yarns of the Heart doll making workshops produced by CAN WA in 2011 in the Southern Wheatbelt. It inspired the making of a beautiful Charrnock Woman doll by one of the Noongar women, which was exhibited at the WA Museum in the Yarns of the Heart exhibition in 2011- 2012.
The Charrnock Woman tale was then resurrected as a stop-motion sand animation project with artist Steve Aiton, Year 6 students from Narrogin Primary School and digital media students from Narrogin Senior High School in November 2012.
Using the techniques of sand animation, stop motion animation and blue screen technology, the students recreated the tale, incorporating the actual Charrnock woman doll created during the Yarns of the Heart project.
The content created by the students will be incorporated into a sculptural work by Aboriginal artist Sharyn Egan and the Narrogin community and placed at a women's site along Gnarojin Creek. The sculpture will incorporate QR code technology, allowing the viewer to watch the animation clips from their smartphone or tablet.

Former Cornelius commissioner Jim Bensman thinks local officials in the area should do more to address citizens' concerns about the 2011 Mecklenburg County property revaluation. He sends this open letter:
To the Mayors and Commissioners of Cornelius, Davidson and Huntersville:
As you all know, the citizens of Mecklenburg County have been challenging the 2011 Revaluation. The impact on the residents has been clearly stated for over a year, marked by emails, petitions, large turnouts at County Commissioner meetings, the Revaluation Review consulting engagement and high turnouts at the Review Public meetings. The stories are essentially the same: land values massively in error, lack of adequate or accurate availability of information to those appealing, poor and abusive treatment by the Board of Equalization and Review and a record number of appeals to the State Property Tax Commission. (See Aug. 1, 2012, "Property owners give consultants an earful on revaluation.")
So what are you going to do about this? There has been complete public silence from Huntersville and Davidson, a letter and poorly delivered resolution from Cornelius. That's it! Meanwhile, each town is basking in a flood of higher tax revenues mainly due to the invalid increases in property values determined by the County Assessor. We have appeared at Town Board meetings multiple times, talked to many of you individually and pleaded for support for this effort. Instead, almost nothing.
This is plainly unacceptable. You have a duty to stand up for the rights of your residents!
- You could attend these public meetings and see for yourselves what is going on (Mayor Tarte and Mayor Pro Tem Rinker attended last week's meeting in Cornelius).
- You could support Commissioner Karen Bentley and the other Commissioners standing up for your residents.
- You could work with Speaker Tillis, the State Department of Revenue and get other state agencies to engage.
- You could insist that special consideration be given by the county to the elderly and infirm who have not been able to appeal their property values and are being forced out of their homes. You could insist the Board of Equalization and Review grant formal hearings for those residents.
- You could insist that meetings of the Citizen's Revaluation Advisory Committee meetings be scheduled and be open to the public.
- You could monitor the progress of the review to assure that the review is conducted in a fair and open manner.
- You could assess the results of the review and support those recommendations that would provide relief to beleaguered residents.
- You could challenge that review if it is incomplete or inaccurate.
- You could support the adoption of important changes when those changes are considered by the County Commission.
- And much more…
There are 5 citizens carrying this load with the support of almost 1,000 people. This is a heavy burden and patently unfair. So how about pitching in?
You constituents will await your responses.
Jim Bensman
Cornelius Commissioner (Retired)

A NEW form of cholera, which emerged in southern India in 1992 and infected thousands of people across Asia, is a bacterial "wolf in sheep's clothing".
Dutch researchers say the new strain arose when the bacterium that usually causes cholera borrowed genes from a normally harmless strain. The borrowed genes control the production of sugars carried on the surface of the cells. These sugars vary from strain to strain. So people who have built up immunity to cholera could not fight off the new strain because their immune systems were fooled into ignoring the bacterium.
Biologists believe that similar transfers of genes could explain many epidemics that seem to come from nowhere. It is, however, unusual to be able to prove that a bacterium has recently acquired genes which allowed it to form an epidemic. While the new discovery confirms scientists' ideas about the evolution of disease, the worrying implication ...

More Cuts Could Change Pentagon View on Mergers
September 5, 2012
Senior Pentagon officials told industry last year that mounting budget pressures could result in increased mergers, spinoffs and market departures among weapons makers, although they said they did not believe consolidation was needed among the very largest companies in the sector.
But $500 billion in automatic across-the-board reductions that are due to start taking effect on January 2, on top of $487 billion already planned for the next decade, could change the department's thinking on mergers and many other issues, according to industry executives and military officials.
Brett Lambert, deputy assistant secretary of defense for manufacturing and industrial base policy, said the department's position -- first announced in February 2011 -- had not factored in the additional budget cuts known as sequestration.
"If sequestration is not averted, we would have to go back and re-examine everything, including fundamental strategic tenets," Lambert told Reuters.
The department's current policy does not forbid mergers among big weapons makers, but says the government is "comfortable" that the current number of prime contractors in the sector would ensure continued competition.

China offers "a new choice for African nations," says Mr Kagame. "The Chinese certainly have a different view than the West. They are what they are. They have clear objectives; they do not export their values together with assistance. They make decisions faster."
Appearing in the latest issue of the magazine, the President's comments come on the heels of a new investment deal with China and the establishment of sovereign fund that has raised some Rwf 15billion in two weeks. A visit to China this week by the President has yielded a $25m grant and numerous incentives for Rwandan exports to Chinese markets.
Answering in usually strong comments, the President says in comparison the west pretend to care more for Africans than the Africans themselves. "Some in the West think we are being fooled and they claim they are there to look after us, to warn us about the Chinese. I think they are more concerned with themselves," said Kagame.
But even with Chinese cash and investments pouring into Rwanda, Mr Kagame says the ultimate decision about the development of Africa remains with the Africans. With particular reference to Rwanda, Kagame said: "No nation, even the ones who supported the genocide, owes us a favor."
"I have said many times to our people, "Why should the taxpayers of another nation put food in our mouths and for how long?"..." said Kagame, also giving a rare insight into how his background has shaped his politics.
At the moment in Rwanda, Parliament has 56 percent female representation. Is that accidental, deliberate or politicking? President Kagame says women have always played a bigger role in Rwandan society.
"During the struggle to return to our country and to stop the genocide, women took very responsible positions in collecting information, fundraising, and even fighting," said the president.
"But we don't do these things because the world appreciates our gender equality policies. We do them because we could hardly fight for our freedom, and have women fight just as hard, and then deny them the rights to govern. We do it because we are working for development and prosperity, and leaving half our population out of this task just doesn't make sense."
On DRC Congo, where there is an ongoing international uproar over alleged Rwanda support to rebellions in the east of the country, President Kagame said "soon we will have long-lasting stability in our region."
"You know, the violent history of Congo began long before I was born," said Kagame. "It is a matter of public record that the royalty of Europe and the colonial powers decimated the people and stole their vast underground wealth for a century."
However, the President said Rwanda was committed to being part of the solution to pacify DRC.
"However, we are working closely with the government of DRC to ensure that this threat is removed completely. We have also noticed a fresh spirit of cooperation from the international community to focus on the root cause of conflict in the DRC, and I am confident that soon we will have long-lasting stability in our region. This will allow us to focus on economic development, which is what our people want."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1986 Mustang GT Hatch - Rage In The Machine - True Street Four-Eye
Phil Delaney Uses His '86 GT Hatch For Business Purposes
Horse Sense:
In addition to building and campaigning this car, and maintaining his business, Phil Delaney also heads-up the IMSM Racing Series. The IMSM features a host of index classes aimed at creating an even playing field for a variety of cars and combinations. Races are held during the summer months in the Midwest from Byron and Cordova, Illinois, to Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove, Wisconsin. Besides racing his '86 GT in the NMRA's True Street class, Phil races in the IMSM's 9.50 Pro Tree index class.
Rage Against the Machine is one of my favorite bands thanks to a unique, hard-hitting, soul-stirring sound. However, lost in the band's riff-heavy tunes and anger-spawned lyrics that made you want to kick someone's teeth in, Rage's message was to fight against "The Man," or "The Machine." Rage was one of the few rap-metal bands attempting to inform people about the injustices of this world. Rage encouraged us to not become part of the machine, but to help us think for ourselves and not simply conform to what big government wanted us to be.
As part of this magazine and enthusiast base, we're a part of a different machine, but one aimed at doing well. We try to keep the cogs of this machine going in the right direction, and one person helping to keep it going is Bartlett, Illinois' Philip Delaney. Instead of writing about cars all day long like we do, Phil uses his creativity to give cars a new exterior identity by way of his company, Rage Wraps. "I have always loved art and cars," Phil says. Starting Rage helped Phil to combine his loves.
Specifically, Phil's more into Mustangs, but that shouldn't be a big surprise since you're reading about him here. Phil had a 10-second '89 GT with a ProCharger, but when that car was damaged in an accident, he was back to square one. The '89 was Phil's second Mustang, and he learned a lot from owning that car. Starting over lead Phil to a clean '86 GT roller with a lot of potential. After looking at the car on several occasions, Phil brought it home and got to work.
"The car was special to me. I have always been a four-eyed fan, considering my first Mustang was an '82 Mustang GT that I bought when I was 13," Phil says. Phil knew the '86 was his chance at doing something big, so he called his buddy Rich Groh at Rich Groh Racing Engines. Phil had a 351 Lightning block and asked Rich what could be done. Of course, as with anything to do with making power, Rich had the answer, but more on that later.
In the meantime, Phil, his brother Dustin, and dad Robert, had plenty of work to do on the car to get it ready for Phil's goal of single-digit quarter-mile timeslips. A lot of work was needed to bolster the car and Phil's knowledge of drag racing. "Everything on the car other than the cage was done by our hands," Phil says. Dustin is the wiring guru of the family so he was enlisted to wire the car. That and Phil hates wiring so it's a good thing Dustin can make magic with a spool and wire strippers.
Throwing a wrench into the car's build was Phil's sudden desire to start Rage Wraps. "Starting my own business was important to me," Phil says. He couldn't have picked a more inopportune time to start Rage Wraps, but why make it easy! "Rage Wraps was an idea I had where I can combine my love for vehicle art and apply it to help racers become a marketable entity," Phil says. That statement has us convinced. However, taking time to build the business took time away from building the '86, but he had the chance to travel with the NHRA, NMRA, IHRA, and other sanctioning bodies to help spread the word. These travels gave him even more desire to get the '86 done so he could become a part of the performance machine.
During this time Rich Groh had plenty of time to work with the Lightning block Phil had supplied. Rich turned the 351 into a 383ci thanks to a 3.75-inch stroker crank, and a 0.030-inch overbore. Making the most of the cubic inches, Phil returned to ProCharger for one of its D-1SC superchargers. DynotuneMP's Mike Post provided a base tune, and on the dyno the combo made an easy 715 hp at the feet.
Speaking of feet, building the car and getting the business on its feet, Phil had tremendous help from his family to get the car done, but the graphics were up to him. He wanted a simple look for his car, but one with high contrast at the same time. In the end, this simple flat-black-over-silver scheme gets the job done.

Chargers embrace their underdog label
A year ago, Norv Turner hoped city would appreciate work required for playoff berth this soon
The gray, long-sleeve shirt Philip Rivers wore to work Monday was fitting for reasons unrelated to its size or fabric. The shirt referenced a location thousands of miles away, where a film was shot decades ago, happening to capture where this San Diego team, at this moment, stands.
At the chest of the quarterback's XL, a yellow letter 'H' floated inside a red circle.
An arena name, Hoosier Gym, arched over the logo. A town name, Knightstown, Indiana, swung below.
Underdogs. All year and now further.
The Chargers are in the postseason, nine lives spent on an improbable sixth seed seized Sunday that will keep them on the road this winter for as long as they win. The people of San Diego seem surprised. Before leaving for Cleveland, a man hoped they'd be, a message delivered exactly one year ago that explains what makes Rivers' attire an apt choice.
Cincinnati, a third seed, awaits Sunday in the Wild Card Round. No NFL team, in eight games, has won there this year.
AFC Wild Card playoff game
Chargers beat Bengals 27-10
- Chargers heading for Denver after win
- Chargers report card: Bengals tamed
- These Chargers not lucky, they're good
- Chargers continue to defy odds
- The Chargers' defense won this game
- Ryan Mathews exits Chargers win early
- Hardwick injured, another OL steps in
- Mathews, Pagano and 'Whiz' deliver
- Chargers' 2013 season, game-by-game snapshots
"It's still a game. It's the same deal. It's like, and I didn't intend for it to head this way," said Rivers, glancing down at his H. "But it's like the Hickory (Huskers). In the movie ('Hoosiers'), they go measure the gym: the goal and the free-throw line. Ten feet. Fifteen feet.
"It's the same deal. It's football. We go play the way we can play, and we'll have a chance."
To Ohio, the Chargers wear the underdog label without complaint.
They have all season.
It's printed on them, in part, because of a notion Norv Turner, former Chargers coach now working for the other Ohio team, expressed about the roster's condition shortly after his firing. Turner had been in San Diego six seasons, the expectations high, even when the talent descended to Earth.
Rivers said he believes Turner's comments, made in his final press conference, were sincere.
"Someone wrote a few weeks ago that this team is not that far away from the playoffs," Turner said on Dec. 31, 2012. "I would disagree. I know the things that would have to get done for that to happen. If this team comes next year and they get some things done to help them get better and are able to make the playoffs, I would hope it would be a surprise to all the Chargers fans, and they would be excited about it.
"I would hope it would not be the expectation starting in August because I think you need to give whoever the guy who comes in here and the group he brings in some time to get back this thing back to where it was."
It felt back Sunday.
On fourth-and-15, team President Dean Spanos stood on the sideline with other front-office members and clapped to himself, a heave from Chiefs quarterback Chase Daniels the last overtime obstacle between the Chargers and the postseason. The pass fell incomplete.
Last December, Spanos parted with the previous regime, citing the need to right the franchise's backward direction. In January, he hired General Manager Tom Telesco and helped hire coach Mike McCoy. After that play, he celebrated.

Minister of Health and Community Services Jerome Kennedy was in Baie Verte on Monday, August 9, to announce significant funding for the Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre. (BVPHC)Joined by area MHA Kevin Pollard, Central Health CEO Karen McGrath, as well as municipal and hospital administrators, Mr. Kennedy announced that government is providing $319,000 in funding for the hospital to be used in various capacities.
"The Williams' government is investing in key community healthcare centres throughout the province," the minister said in a press release issued prior to the announcement. "The Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre delivers essential services to this region. Through vital long-term care beds, outpatient and primary healthcare services, residents can avail of healthcare services close to their homes and communities."
A break-down of the $319,000 funding goes like this: $195,000 towards the creation of a Therapeutic Wander Garden Project; $71,000 for the replacement of kitchen steamers, drug carts, IV pumps and audiology equipment; and, $53,000 for laboratory equipment including centrifuges.
It was excitement all around when the announcement came down on Monday, with applause coming from the crowd of area mayors and councillors, in particular, when funding for the Wander Garden was announced - a project that has been three years in the making said Tracey Comeau, director of health services.
Mr. Pollard said he is "delighted that our government is making significant investments in health care infrastructure - especially in rural, remote areas of our province. It's reflective of our government's commitment to providing quality accessible health care to everyone in the province."
In addition to Mr. Pollard's comments, Baie Verte deputy mayor Gerry Burke said the funding announcement "will enhance our health care infrastructure and ensure our peninsula will continue to receive the care which we are accustomed to."
The director of health services, Ms. Comeau, said the idea for a wander garden was a product of teamwork between the staff of the Long Term Care Facility after realizing more and more patients were being admitted with varying forms of dementia, along with some challenging behaviour such as wandering and exit seeking.
"The problem here," said Ms. Comeau "is that we have a huge property, so if a resident gets out who can't be out by themselves, then staff are forced to go outside and try to bring them back in. When in reality what they often want to do is to just go sit by themselves and get out of the environment they're in."
This is where the plan and idea for the wander garden was conceived. The goal is to develop an area directly adjacent to the long-term care facility which will allow residents to venture outside to a safe, enclosed area that will allow them to enjoy fresh air and all the amenities which come with the garden.
The hospital is breaking new ground with this project both in a literal and metaphorical sense. The health minister noted that he has yet to see a project or facility like this anywhere else in the province.
"This wander garden is quite an amazing concept and I haven't seen one before in terms of delivery of long term care services, so I think it's going to be very exciting. I'm really excited to see this concept and it's certainly something I'm going to be very interested in, how it develops and how it works."
Ms. Comeau said the funding received from government will be able to aid in the completion of the first two phases of the project, which is scheduled to begin in spring of 2011, with only phase three left to complete after that.
In addition to money from government, funds have been raised over the past three years through various community support ventures.
"Staff has done various fundraisers," she said. "We've also had great support from the community, various businesses have made donations, and people are contributing memorials, along with a recent $10,000 grant from United Way."
The announcement, however, was not met without some criticism from some peninsula political leaders.
Burlington mayor George Kelly said while the wander garden will be a great addition to the BVPHC, the substantial funding could have been used in other areas.
"Baie Verte hospital needs many things, and this money could have helped in providing more services to the area. No doubt the garden will be great, but what about something like more beds, or a dialysis unit?," he questioned.
Ms. Comeau, however, stated that the wander garden meets the hospital's greatest need as of right now because of the numbers of dementia patients.
The hospital has a total of 11 patients in long-term care who suffer from some form of dementia.
She added that according to the Alzheimer's Association of Canada, people are suffering from that disease and other dementia at a younger age than ever.
"Currently there are around 570,000 Canadians with some form of dementia," she said. "Of those, 75,000 are under the age of 65. Looking at the demographic of the Baie Verte Peninsula from the last census in 2006, there were 5,200 people living here and 790 of those are already over the age of 65, and that's probably increased over the last four years. So that tells us there are going to be more and more dementias."
Given these statistics, Ms. Comeau said there is currently no future plans to expand the capacity of the long-term care facility at the BVPHC. The facility has seven acute care and 19 long-term care beds.
While there are challenges, and definitely more room for improvements, said Mr. Pollard, he is still confident in what government is doing in terms of providing health care on the Baie Verte Peninsula.
Minister Kennedy reiterated similar sentiments.
"The healthcare system is one we are extremely proud of but we realize there are still areas we have to work on."

DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team placed four players in double figures as the Wildcats fell to the University of Massachusetts 70-50 Saturday afternoon at Lundholm Gymnasium. The Wildcats now stand at 2-3 on the season while the Minutewomen improve to 5-1.
Aubrey Danen (Oconomowoc, Wis.) and Maren Matthias (Guilford, Conn.) paced UNH with 11 points apiece, while Lindsay Adams (Theresa, N.Y.) and Colleen Mullen (Chelmsford, Mass.) each finished with 10. Matthias also grabbed eight rebounds, while Danen hauled down six. Jennifer Butler led all scorers with 19 points for UMass, while Nekole Smith and Ebony Pegues each added 18.
After trailing 34-26 at the break, UNH went on a 7-0 run capped by a Danen three-pointer to pull within one, 34-33, with 18:11 to play. The Minutewomen responded with a 10-0 run of their own capped by a Butler layup to go up 44-33 with just under 15 minutes remaining. UNH cut the gap to six, 46-40, with 12:40 left, on a Geneva Livingston (Red Bank, N.J.) basket, but would get no closer the rest of the way.
The two teams traded baskets at the start of the game, but UMass would gradually pull away, taking a 30-18 lead with 4:48 remaining in the opening stanza on an Amber Sneed basket. The Wildcats would outscore their guests 8-4 over the remainder of the half to slash the deficit to eight.
New Hampshire outrebounded the Minutwomen 33-28 on the afternoon, holding a 24-20 edge on the defensive boards.
UNH plays the second of back-to-back home games Tuesday (Dec. 10) when the 'Cats entertain St. Francis (N.Y.). Tipoff at Lundholm is set for 7 p.m.

Farm animals can provide companionship, fertiliser, and a substantial ego boost when playing board games. Make furry friends with today's Groupon: £6 for a family ticket for four people at Cobble Hey Farm & Gardens.
A colourful gem in rural Claughton, this farm is home to charming animals and enchanting gardens, and boasts a shiny gold medal from the Green Tourism scheme and recognition as a finalist for a Small Visitor Attraction award. The gardens perch 600 feet above sea level and peer into the Forest of Bowland, showing of their vibrancy with ponds, streams, rockeries, and a Japanese-style area. The establishment is a firm believer in conversation and provides a home for rare breeds of cattle, such as Highland, longhorn, and beef shorthorn. An on-site cafe and quant tearoom reflect the environmentally protective ethos, serving up a menu of home-grown and freshly prepared ingredients wherever possible.
Families of two adults and two children can discover the abundant offerings of the countryside haven. All features of Cobble Hey Farm bear open invitations, so the eye-widening gardens and surrounding areas may be strolled through and enjoyed, and the resident creatures seen and appreciated. Occasional events add to the experience, with seasonal activities throughout the year and frequent opportunities to see the animals fed and watered.

In my way of thinking dealing with the mechanical aspect is the FIRST thing done, then once that is all sorted and correct you move on to addressing the cosmetic concerns.
Forgive me for asking, but after all these pages all I've really seen mentioned is looks, coolness, and other purely cosmetic considerations. Perhaps I'm wrong but I just haven't read much about what was done to get the bike mechanically sound.
Perhaps it didn't get all that hot. Maybe it didn't get hot enough to actually damage any of the major metal components like the frame, etc. But, it obviously did get hot enough to do a real number on all of the plastic/rubber parts, and seeing as how the BMW is a very high tech machine that relies heavily on electronics for almost everything, and electronics rely heavily on plastics for insulators, etc. Well, let's just say that electrical gremlins could be an ongoing issue with a bike that suffered that sort of damage and I personally would want that all sorted before worrying about making the bike

Starting in 6th grade, my friends and I have engaged in our country's most popular hobby. No, not NASCAR, not fishing, not baseball, not even political partisanship. A pastime that captures the minds, hearts, and productive work times of millions of Americans today. The one and only fantasy football.
Having maintained a relatively stable and functioning league for a number of years, I can say that fantasy has strengthened relationships, created everlasting memories, and produced innumerable taunts, rifts, and controversies. Our group has fluctuated slightly, and the eight-team league consisting of teams of two has seen dropouts, new additions, and internal movements among teams. However, a core membership has persisting throughout it all, and I am pleased to say that our league is currently stronger than ever (a certain Mathewsgate nonwithstanding).
Sustaining a well-running league for a good period of time has resulted in certain traditions that are very dear to our league. We always have a live, in-person draft with an actual draft board, and preparation for the draft ranges from obsessive studying of preseason magazines and articles to simply showing up the day of the draft and going based on instinct. There have been modifications to the type of draft, the manner in which drafting positions are assigned, and length of the draft, but the basic structure has been relatively preserved. After we graduated from high school, the last two drafts have been held in the basement of Cheyenne Arapaho residence hall at CU and in my house on the Hill this past year, with out of town participants weighing in through Skype. Needless to say, both college drafts involved intense gamesmanship and passion. However, new traditions have been implemented in recent years, including the newest addition to the league: this season, the prize for losing the last-place game was the wearing of a Winnie the Pooh costume around campus for a day, which is scheduled to take place at the beginning of the coming semester in January. This year, Griffin and my dear cousin Joseph managed to win, despite the best efforts of many, and they are sure to come up with some new additions to the league during their time as reigning champs. We are constantly looking for ways to liven up and enhance our beloved league.
From the start of the NFL season in August to the the beginning of the playoffs in January, fantasy has taken up a large chunk of my time the past seven or eight years. Pre-draft preparation followed by the weekly setting of lineups and constant trade negotiation and banter almost always takes priority to schoolwork (don't tell my parents). Football Sundays during the fall are unlike anything else, and bolstered by the Broncos, have been a staple of my life for many years. I wouldn't trade them for anything, and I look forward to many, many fantasy seasons to come in the future. It may be called fantasy football, but there is definitely nothing fake about it.

Abuja — The new Chinese ambassador to Nigeria His Excellency, Mr. Deng Boqing in his first media engagement spoke exclusively to LEADERSHIP foreign Editor, Mr. Charles Onunaiju on a number of issues including economic and trade relations with Nigeria, the China-Africa cooperation forum etc. Excerpts
On arriving to Nigeria to take up the post, what is your impression and understanding of our job's challenge?
Nigeria is important and big developing country. The Nigerian people are wise and intelligent. Although I arrived in Nigeria not long ago, I have truly felt the friendship and sincerity of Nigeria people towards Chinese people, and enjoyed the support of the Nigerian government, the understanding and help from many Nigerian friends, all of which are so impressive.
With the largest population in Africa, Nigeria has a huge domestic market and is rich in natural resources, which Nigeria enormous potentials. It is good to see that Nigerian people have made great efforts to achieve social stability and economic development. I am fully confident of the future of Nigeria.
I feel honored to have the opportunity to walk in this beautiful country, at the same time I am aware of the great responsibility ahead of me for promoting the cordial bilateral relations between China and Nigeria.
Nigeria and China currently enjoy robust bilateral relations, courtesy of your predecessors. What areas of the relationship do you envisage the greatest challenge?
Well, I quite agree with your comments on Sino-Nigeria relations. Thanks to the great efforts made by both Chinese and Nigerian governments and the peoples as well as my hard-working predecessors, the cordial bilateral relations has been undergoing rapid, comprehensive and stable growth in recent years. The strategic partnership has been further strengthened, with mutual political trust particularly deepened, cooperation in international affairs continuously enhanced, and exchanges in culture, education and sports fields more and more frequent. Cooperation in the fields of in infrastructure, agriculture, communications and energy has been continuously pushed forward. The bilateral trade volume has increased from US $0.86 billion in to US $6.37 billion in 2009, up 744%, and will hopefully hit the record of US $7.5 billion at the end of year 2010. The accumulated Chinese actual investment in Nigeria reached US $4.14 billion in December 2006 and jumped to US $7.55 billion in June 2010, up 82%.
During my tenure, I would try all my efforts to maintain the sound momentum of such dynamic cooperative relations and eventually enhance the strategic partnership between China and Nigeria. I wish that with the support of Nigerian friends in all circles, the exchanges and mutual understanding would be broadened and the cooperation achivements would be ensured to benefit our two peoples.
China's intention and involvement in Africa is still a matter of curiosity because some section of the media, especially those influenced by the west still believe that china is in Africa to satisfy its natural resource appetite.
There has long been the argument that china is plundering Africa's resource. Obviously, it is a bias against the mutual beneficial cooperation between china and Africa. Anyone who is familiar with the history would know that the friendly relations and cooperation between china Africa did not start just yesterday, but as early as half a century ago. In those years, china firmly supported many African countries in archieving national independence, assisted the African people in building a large number of infrastructure projects including the TAZARA railway and sent over 10,000 doctors to Africa.
But China did not take away a single drop of oil or a single drop of oil or a single ton of mineral ores from Africa within the same period.
In recent years, China has increased its aids to African countries without any political strings. It is particularly noteworthy that in spite of the global financial crisis, which has led to a downturn in the world economy and reduction in development aid to Africa, the Chinese government has continued to honour its commitments to increasing aids and investment to Africa under the forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
On the other hand, China firmly, sticks to the principle of mutual benefit, win-win progress, equality and self-willingness in promoting the economic and trade cooperation with Africa. Essentially speaking, the economies of China and Africa are highly complementary to each other, as China enjoys sound processing capacity while Africa is rich in natural resources.
As to ithe exploitation of African resources, the Chinese enterprises'taking part on the activities on the African continent has been welcome by the ;African people, as it enabled them to have had more favorable capacity. In terms of energy cooperation, China is not the largest importer of energy from Africa but a smaller one, comparing with USA and Europe. Taking Nigeria's crude oil export as an example. In the year 2009, 40% of Nigeria's oil was exported to the US and 25% to Europe, however China's percentage is not more than 1% of the total.
At last, I would like to emphasize that the economic and trade which are essentially different from what it had with the western countries during the colonial period.
China's actual investment in Nigeria has reached 7 billion US dollars, What do you hope to add up during your tenure?
The economic interaction between China and Nigeria is rich in content and mutual investment is one of the key important cooperation. It is true that in recent years china's investment in Nigeria is increasing, and it covers a vast variety of fields, such as the exploitation of oil and gas resources, infrastructure construction, agriculture, trade, power and communications, etc.which has created many local job opportunities and improved the local productive capacity. The number of local employees of Chinese enterprises in Nigeria, such as CCECC, WEMPCO, the Lee Group etc., have all surpassed 10,000. It is particularly noteworthy that the Chinese enterprise have set up two Economic and Trade Cooperation Zones jointly with local governments. It is estimated that the Lekki Free Trade Zone, one of the two zones, is supposed to attract investment of 5 billion US dollars in the future.
The Chinese government will, as always, take more favourable measures to encourage the Chinese companies to invest in Nigeria. Meanwhile, I have two suggestions to attract more Chinese companies' investment in Nigeria. Firstly, both governments shall cooperate and set up platform for enterprises to meet regularly and seek cooperation opportunities. Secondly, both sides shall provide more incentives as well as preferential policies for enterprises. I am convinced that the Chinese investment volume will keep on rising in the coming years with the joint efforts by both sides.
Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has just clocked ten years, since it was inaugurated in Beijing in 2000. What in your view are challenges and prospects of FOCAC in the years ahead?
The founding of FOCAC was an important event in the history of Sino-African cordial relationship. As a creative move of developing countries to reinforce their solidarity and cooperation and join hands to cope with challenges under new circumstances, the establishment of FOCAC draws wide attention from the international community. Since the establishment of FOCAC, China-Africa relations have entered into a new phase of rapid, comprehensive and stable growth.
The world today is undergoing profound and complex changes. Imbalance in global development, widening gap between the North and the south, the combination of traditional non-traditional security threats as well as increasing factors of instability and uncertainty stand in the way of global peace and developmet . All these pose a daunting challenge to China and Africa nations in their pursuit of sustainable development. In order to deal with the challenges, both China and Africa have agreed to strengthen the cooperation under FOCAC to realize common developmet.
Reviewing the past, we are glad to see that FOCAC, with the high attention and joint effort of both sides, has become an important platform of collective dialogue and effective mechanism of pragmatic cooperation between China and Africa, and achieved major progress of lifting up China-Africa relations, increasing political mutual trust, boosting pragmatic cooperation and promoting the democratization of international relations. Taking the trade area as example, in the year of 2009, China-Africa trade volume exceeded US$91 billion compared with US$10.6 billion in 2000.
China results in economic reforms were quite different from the outcome of many African countries who introduced economic reforms at the hehest of the World Bank and the IMF and whose outcomes is not quite impressive. What are peculiar elements of China's reforms, she would share with Africa?
It was not until 1978 that China entered a new era of reform and opening-up to the outside world, a road charted by Mr. Deng Xiaoping . Since then China has come a long way. Over the past three decades, China has been transformed and tremendous changes have taken place.
Firstly, China's economy has changed from a highly centralized planned economy to a socialist market economy;
Secondly, China has changed from a relatively closed economy to a completely open economy;
Thirdly, China has changed from an economy of shortage to one in most area of which supply can meet or even surpass a little over the demand. Shortage of consumer goods is a thing of the past;
Fourthly, China's infrastructure has made tremendous progress;
Fifthly, the structure of the economy has also undergone dramatic changes;
Last but not the least, the well-being of the Chinese people has improved dramatically with over two hundred million people getting rid of poverty.
Maybe it is most noteworthy that China's economy has been enjoying fast growth with average growth rates of 10%. In the second quarter of 2010, China's GDP overtook Japan and became the world's second largest economy behind the United States.
As Mr. Deng Xiaoping said many years ago, China is both big and small, strong and weak. It's easy for people outside China to see the growth, it's big and strong side, while people inside China to see the difficulties, the small and weak side.
Although China's achievement in the past 30 years is amazing, China remains the largest developing country in the world, and the overall national strength of China should not be overestimated. Because of its huge population of 1.3 billion, its backward economic foundation to start with, despite the considerable size of its GDP, China's per capita GDP today still trail behind over one hundred countries in the world. China is still faced with many challenges, such as the remaining poverty, uneven development and the expanding gap between rural and urban areas, between the West and East, and the enormous resources and environmental costs of economic growth, etc.
For example, at present, there are still more that 130 million Chinese people living under poverty line, the number is almost equal to Nigeria's population.
Therefore, the development of China is a long and arduous process. If there are any experiences from China's reforms in the past 30 years, the greatest experience I can tell is that China has exploited its development road step by step with efforts of generations, which has eventually found a development mode suitable to its own situation.
There exist several similarities between China and Nigeria: a large population, intelligent and hard working people, a huge domestic market, strong entrepreneur spirit and a rapidly growing economy.
Besides this, Nigeria is rich in recourses and great prospect of oil, gas and solid minerals. As a true friend of Nigeria, China is ready to share experience and to learn from each other on addressing the social and economic challenges in the pursuit of sustainable development. I am glad to see that Nigeria has made great achievements in the process of seeking a suitable reform mode meeting its own needs.

Good value
Heavy duty holder, but won't attach to other stands...I had to improvise and used it on a mike stand.
Comments about Quik-Lok QLX-5 Adjustable Sheet Music Holder:
Quik-Lok QLX-5 Adjustable Sheet Music Holder: I purchased this sheet music stand thinking it would save real estate on stage. However, be aware that the "display" size is slightly larger than a standard stand, meaning it really blocks you from the audience! It's very sturdy etc but I will probably only use this at home because of the size. Also note that it does NOT fit all Quik-Lok stand models.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, Patrick Crispen teaches the ins and outs of Blackboard 9 so that educators and trainers can get up to speed in the system quickly—even if they've never used Blackboard before. The course explores customizing a course site, managing users, and adding and organizing content, including multimedia. It also shows how to perform student assessments in the Grade Center, as well as how to communicate with students and encourage participation and collaboration.
In this movie, we're going to take a quick look at three things in Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack 8 and 9 that could trip you up; things that still remain in Blackboard's needs to be fixed list at the time of this recording. The first obstacle you may run into is that older versions of Internet Explorer do not play well with the new Blackboard user interface. For example, in Internet Explorer 7, you can't actually see Blackboard's top frame or tabs. You can tell what version of Internet Explorer you have by going to About Internet Explorer.
In this case, I am running Internet Explorer 9 which is perfectly fine. Even worse, if you've got an older version of Internet Explorer when you try to download a package of assignments for grading, for example, I've got my Week 2 Assignment, I'm going to Assignment File Download. I'm just going to create a zip file. That zip file won't open on your computer. From what I've seen, these problems really only impact you if you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7 in combination with Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8.
The solution is actually really simple; don't use Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8. Update your browser or use Firefox, Chrome or Safari, and you shouldn't run into this issue. The second obstacle you may run into and I've got to be honest, this is rare. Is that you may receive a 404 error when viewing files with special characters that students upload to group assignments. I've got one here with a pound sign and ampersand and exclamation point. I don't think there's a fix for this yet but if are going to do group assignments, just let your students know ahead of time that their file name should only include letters, numbers, and underscores. That should take care of it.
The final obstacle is that in Blackboard 9.1 Service Packs 7, 8 and 9, when you go to Tools from the Course menu, and you hide a particular tool, for example, Announcements, that tool is no longer available to the students throughout the entire course. You're not just hiding the tool, you're turning the tool off course-wide. I click on Hide Link, it's hidden here, I can still see it. I can get into this, but let me logout, and I'll log into this class as a student.
Notice on the homepage I've got announcements, I log out, log in as Jayden Brown, go into the course. There are no announcements. When you turn off a tool on the Tools area, you're turning the tool off course-wide. These are just three things to keep it mind, and I'm sure that Blackboard will be fixing all of these soon.

• Switch-hitting shortstop Zach Walters (USD), playing for Syracuse in the Nationals' organization, has 18 home runs, tied for fourth in all of Triple-A.
• Quintin Berry (San Diego State/Morse) was designated for assignment by the Royals after hitting .194 in nine games with Triple-A Omaha. He then accepted a minor league assignment and signed a free-agent contract. Berry hit .258 with 29 RBIs and 21 steals in 94 games with the Tigers last season. He didn't make the club out of spring training, hit .168 in 49 games with Triple-A Toledo, was released and picked up by Kansas City.
• Veteran pitcher Mark Prior (USC/USDHS) was released by the Reds after pitching 9 2/3 innings in seven games at Triple-A Louisville. But he hadn't pitched since suffering a right shoulder strain on April 21. Prior, who was 18-6 with the Cubs in 2003, hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2006, suffering a string of injuries.
• Pitcher/outfielder Billy Roth (Vista), a 16th-round pick of the Pirates, signed for a reported $190,000, nearly double what was allotted to his pick and more than what Pittsburgh gave to its ninth and 10th selections. An Arizona commit, Roth was bothered by shoulder problems. He hit .337 and was 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings.
• Right-hander Michael Wagner (USD), a 15th-round pick of the Cubs, has signed.
• Infielder Hector Montes (Southwestern College/Bonita Vista), a 33rd-round pick, signed with Tampa Bay.
• Pitcher Ryan Doran (San Diego State) signed as a free agent with the Diamondbacks, shortstop Parker Hipp (New Mexico State/Cathedral Catholic) signed with the Astros, and shortstop Kyle Attl (Cal State Northridge/Rancho Bernardo) signed with the Nationals.
The minor league report will run weekly through the end of the minor league regular season. If you have information on a San Diego-area player who is doing well, please contact John Maffei at firstname.lastname@example.com
