Question: In the article Waves of Rural Brides Female Marriage Migration
In the article "Waves of Rural Brides: Female Marriage Migration in China" (Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Vol. 88(2), pp. 227-251), C. Fan and Y. Huang reported on the reasons that women in China migrate within the country to new places of residence. The percentages for reasons given by 15- to 29-year-old women for migrating within the same province are presented in the second column of the following table.

A 2-year-old Syrian boy became the first sea migrant casualty of 2016, while 10 other asylum seekers were injured during their sea crossing, the NGO Migrant Offshore Aid Station said on Saturday.
Khalid, a Syrian boy who was travelling to Greece with his mother, died when the rubber raft he was on was slammed against the rocks on the Aegean island of Nera.
The boy's body was pulled out of the water by fishermen, while the remaining 35 people on board the dinghy made it out alive, some just barely.
MOAS, a Malta-based migrant rescue NGO, which has recently started operating off Greece, said the migrants endured five hours in heavy seas only to end up shipwrecked upon jagged rocks.
A 3-month-old infant boy was severely hypothermic, but was stabilized.
"Nothing can prepare you for the horrific reality of what is going on. Today we came face-to-face with one of the youngest victims of this ongoing refugee crisis. It is a tragic reminder of the thousands of people who have died trying to reach safety in miserable conditions," said MOAS founder Christopher Catrambone.
Some 3,770 migrants died in 2015, making it the deadliest year on record for migrants and refugees crossing the Mediterranean.

I'm a nerd but a freak in the sheets. but I've met women who seems to be turned off by a nerd. They say they want a man. If a nerd is a guy is he not considered a man?
Most Helpful Girl
Is the nerd attractive? If so, the fact that he's a nerd is moot. If his personality meshes with mine and we're both attracted to each other, that's enough.
I don't know why some people think that a person being labeled as a nerd/engineer or something else that is seen as stereotypically unattractive would mean that they are indeed unattractive.00|00|0
I had negative comments towards me about being a nerd by my ex. Told me nerds are not manly... But all her exs were jerks narcissists and ended up screwing her over lol

- CENCOSUD SA's earnings per share declined by 7.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, CENCOSUD SA reported lower earnings of $0.67 versus $0.72 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Food & Staples Retailing industry average. The net income has decreased by 5.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $197.91 million to $187.83 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.04 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.41, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Food & Staples Retailing industry and the overall market, CENCOSUD SA's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for CENCOSUD SA is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 30.30%. Regardless of CNCO's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, CNCO's net profit margin of 3.59% compares favorably to the industry average.

I wanted to find out what everyone uses to share files with their external clients..
We need some sort of secure file sharing application that we can assign accounts to clients to download files including PDF's, PowerPoint Presentations and so on. Also needs to be quick and easy to add content for staff.
We currently either use email or our website CMS system. There are a few issues with this at the moment.
Some staffs mailboxes on exchange are getting very big quickly and I have to either ask them to delete their sent emails with large attachments or do it myself.
The CMS system only allows 10MB max file size, so we are splitting ppts into different parts. This does take a decent amount of time.
What I would like to have is a folder structure on our sever that will replicate to an online ftp site and from that create web pages / links to the files.
If there is an open source product that can do something similar that would be great otherwise fairly cheap software I can buy. Also we would need to be able to edit the template to match our website style.

Blech. Dropbox is horrid for the environment he's after. So is FTP.
Make a VM with ZendTo. Has rights per user, per group, one-time, invite management, pickup tracking, aging, quotas, purging, etc.

We implementd a similar scenario using MoveIT from ipswitch. Have a look to see if it fits your scenario. > http://www.ipswitchft.com/solutions/managecontrol.aspx?ns=1&k_id=ipshome
Aug 26, 2011 at 4:05 UTC
Depending on the secure nature of the files you could look at Dropbox. Super easy to share stuff, you can give different permissions to different sub-directory's. Or you could just go with a standard FTP site.
Aug 26, 2011 at 4:16 UTC
+1 for Dropbox. If security is an issue, encrypt the content.
Aug 28, 2011 at 6:16 UTC
Looks like what we are looking for although it does require a windows server, we would have to host in house and our bandwidth isn't that great. It's the idea I was looking at, we build a web portal and use FTP as the back end.
I don't see Dropbox as a business application as we wouldn't be able to brand it. Also I must add we can't have files hosted out side of Australia.
So there is no web solution I can load on our web servers?
Aug 29, 2011 at 4:55 UTC
I think you should try 4Shared, it is free too.
Aug 29, 2011 at 11:52 UTC
You should take a look at using an outlook plugin to help your endusers send large files (i.e. http://www.globalscape.com/mailexpress/).
Aug 29, 2011 at 12:09 UTC
If you need to host why not just use a FTP, you can secure them fairly well, you host the content, you don't need a windows server, and you can set it up to just be a backend to a website for people to download the content, and/or upload.

That's what I'm looking for smc_, setup and installed already. I would have thought there would be hundreds of these around.
Thanks everyone for all the reply's
Aug 29, 2011 at 6:13 UTC
Cool looking piece of software, will have to check it out in further detail.
Aug 30, 2011 at 4:40 UTC
Oh, branding wasn't in the initial question.
I don't see how zend.to is helpful when OP says:
we would have to host in house and our bandwidth isn't that great.
Aren't those reasons not to use zend.to?
Aug 30, 2011 at 9:53 UTC
I think you have it exactly and completely backwards, John.
Aug 30, 2011 at 3:51 UTC
I think you have it exactly and completely backwards, John.
Oh? Maybe I don't understand zend.to.
OP said he was installing. But he also said he didn't want to host locally and had bad bandwidth.
Is zend.to not a local install/appliance? I mean, I understand I can buy a hosted vm, but that's true of any "local" solution too.
Aug 30, 2011 at 10:45 UTC
I had installed locally for testing and now have it loaded on our web server which is a dedicated server in a data center.
When I said "we would have to host in house and our bandwidth isn't that great." it was in regards to the application that needed a windows server and we don't have any outside of the office.

Chapter 5
As the group finishes their well deserved meal at the barbeque place, they decide they need to get to the Order of the White Lotus hideout and find a way to get to Arlo.
"We have this satomobile, but just driving could be dangerous," stated Jett.
"I agree. Oreon has found us every step of the way thus far, we need to change things up," agreed Damien.
"I haven't been of much help this trip, but I may know a way," said Rose.
Rose's plan was to incorporate others to get Oreon off their trail, because no doubt he was watching them in some way. So as the group gathered their things, they put everything in the Satomobile and just left the barbeque, or so it seemed. They had actually let the owner of the barbeque take the vehicle on a trip just to try to shake Oreon and his minions. He went through the city and did a lot of crazy paths before he brought the vehicle back. When he had returned it, they had been waiting a few hours; Rose and the others decided it was safe to make their way to the Order of the White Lotus hideout. Jett was driving as he knew the place the best. It was about a 45-minute drive until the arrived at the hideout. Jett engaged in a secret knocking pattern to alert the Head of the hideout that he was a member. Once he finished, a slit in the door cracked open, just as all Order of the White Lotus.
"Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel, you can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel."
"But if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place," Jett quotes as he finishes the sentence.
The door opened as a familiar face greeted them; it was Kyou, the great-great-grandson of Zuko. He was now very aged and one of the last of the original Fire Nation heir.
"Come, come, welcome to the southern hideout," greeted Kyou.
"My my, it's been so long since I've seen a different Order of the White Lotus Officer," snickered Jett.
"Well, it isn't my fault we don't have meetings anymore. Since peace has been around, there has never been a need to. Which I guess is a good thing," stated Kyou as he began to brew tea.
"Let me introduce you to a few of my friends and other members of Order of the White Lotus."
"This is Axel, one of the finest earthbenders you've ever seen."
"Nice to meet you all, maybe I'll show you some tricks if my back will allow it," chuckled Axel.
"Next is Taj. He is a world renowned waterbender, who now is a pao show master."
"If you can beat me, I'll teach you any waterbending you need," Taj poked at Theo, as he sensed his bending potential.
"We have a few other members who are not here at the moment but feel free to make yourself at home as me and Jett talk privately for a while," announced Kyou.
Private Conversation
"I'm sure you're aware of what has happened to the Avatar and the current state of Republic City?" questioned Jett.
"Yes, we have known. We've even had a few encounters with these so called 'Ninjas', but they forget us old folk still got it," joked Kyou.
Jett informs Kyou about all that had happened through the time of them returning from Captain Julios' boat and entering Republic City.
"I see, so you need to quickly get to the Capitol without anyone knowing your presence?"
"That's correct."
"Well, I know a way, but it'll require you to stay here for a night or two, for me to prepare it all."
"That is great, I appreciate your hospitality, and I am sure the boys could learn a thing or two from you all," Jett says as he bowed his head to Kyou.
End of private conversation
Jett and Kyou entered the main room once again and announced that they'd be staying there for a few days until they could depart to the Capitol. Theo was talking to Axel and Taj as they had mastered the two elements he was able to bend. Rylan was talking to Damien about a new firebending technique he'd been working on. Rose was reading a novel as was sipping on her tea. They were having a fine time, 3 different eras of time, all together conversating. The night ended in a rather peaceful way, different from the recent events.
The next morning came and Theo was super eager for Axel and Taj to show him some tricks, and Rylan was being sour since he had no master bender to talk to.
"Fine, we will show you some tricks if you'll help us buy food for tonight," Taj said with a slightly irritated voice.
Theo, Taj, and Axel left for the market as the others decided to stay home and just relax; they had been going through a lot lately and were excited for a little time off. Kyou had to leave to make preparations for the group's departure, so the hideout was left to just Rose, Jett, and Damien.
Theo was hopping up and down at the chance to learn bending from 2 masters, as Taj and Axel were just wanting to get food. They stayed at the market for a few hours shopping, making Theo run errands for them. When they were finished, they made their way back when black smoke started covering the area. Taj and Axel quickly told Theo to stay behind them as they were prepared to face whatever was going to emerge. It was a group of ninjas, led by a ninja wearing a solid white suit, who gave off a much more fearsome and powerful aura. Taj and Axel quickly sensed this power coming from the ninja and made sure they were focused.
As the ninjas started springing towards the group, Taj and Axel sprung into action. Bending like Theo had never seen, the most fluent and effective bending ever. Taj was bending water from the leaves on a nearby tree, using it as a melee weapon, while Axel was creating holes in the group by shooting bursts of rock at the enemies. The ninja in full white had disappeared as he wasn't getting taken down as easy as his companions. Out of nowhere, he appeared and struck Axel 3 times with 2 quick jabs and a kick before he disappeared again. Axel fell to the ground as Theo rushed to his side trying his best to support these two. All the sudden, it began to pour down rain. Taj let out a crooked grin as he knew the tides had just changed.
"Hey kid, wanna see some tricks?"
As more ninjas rushed Taj, he seemingly floated through the air as he was manipulating the rain to his advantage. Then he did something Theo had never seen; he made a mix between solidified ice and water and began making it into sharp objects and using it as a tool to take down ninjas. Then the ninja in white reappeared and blew away a chunk of the water with airbending...
To be continued.

The Titan XD is aimed squarely at buyers who tow trailers, and it comes ready for a gooseneck trailer. It takes less than two minutes to plug in the ball and hook in the chain anchors. Then, back up to the gooseneck trailer and a camera shows the way. Pressing a button on the dash switches off all parking alerts.
Towing features the Titan XD offers include an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer sway control, a Tow/Haul mode with downhill speed control, a trailer light check system, and cameras pointed every which way to help with hookups.
The best surprise-and-delight feature for Titan XD owners who tow trailers is the trailer-light check: Walk to the rear of the truck with the remote key fob, press the lock button three times, holding it down on the third press, and the truck walks the owner through a check of all the lighting, flashing each turn signal, the brake lights and the running lights of trailer and truck. This is extremely useful when no one is around to help and beats the various tricks experienced towers use to check brake-light and turn-signal operation. And, of course, it's safer than giving up on the process and hoping all the trailer lights work, since they often do not.
Options include LED headlamps, LED bedrail lighting; a damped tailgate; a bed-mounted power point; a Rockford Fosgate audio system; remote start; and a spray-in bedliner. A navigation system with smartphone connectivity is available. Running boards are available and most will want them to get in and out: As it is, when climbing in and out images of the Hillary Step come to mind.

Apple Cider is a refreshing and delicious blend of fresh apple juice mixed with just the right amount of cinnamon and clove.
Size: 1.5 oz
This candle fills your home with memories of hot spiced cider on crisp,chilly Autumn days. Love it!
I loved every candle in the two bulk orders I have placed with you and all the scents are great: Pina Colada, Fall Leaves, Apple Cider, Linen etc. The candles seem to last twice as long as I expected.
Great spicy apple fragrance! Will buy again.
This is my favorite fragrance. Delicious apple with cinnamon and a little spice. I bought this fragrance in every product!
I've been burning this candle off and on for three days now. Not only can NOT smell my dog anymore but my entire first floor smells like delicious warm apple cider. Three guests have already commented on how great my house smells. One of my friends even asked if she could "borrow my candle". I told her to get her own!

25 King StreetPort Ryerse
In May 1814, Amelia Ryerse received unwanted fireside guests when American soldiers arrived with orders to burn. As her mother pleaded with the commanding officer to spare their home, an officer wordlessly gathered coals from the hearth. Every building was set ablaze – except for the homestead.
Just a few yards down the street from this quilt is a loyalist cemetery containing a tombstone for three unknown British Soldiers who died at Fort Norfolk in 1812. The cemetary also includes the burial site and and tombstone of Samuel Ryerse, the first captain of the Norfolk Militia in 1812.

The device is based on an x86 Atom central processing unit and runs Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system. If it had an ARM SoC, Windows RT would have been used and the price might have ended up lower as well.
VivoTab houses an Atom Z2670 dual-core CPU with 1.8 GHz clock speed, the newest Atom chip of Intel, an 11.6 inch IPS+ panel with high brightness and Corning Fit glass protection with anti-fingerprint coating. The multi-touch display has a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. On the bright side, the TruVivid technology maximizes image clarity.
ASUS sells the VivoTab 11.6-inch tablet with or without the Mobile Dock. The benefits of the dock are the physical keyboard and built-in battery (takes the battery life from 10.5 hours to 19 hours).

Zurich turns on to Zoo TV as U2 transmit the greatest show on earth. Report and interview: Bill Graham
For once, the relentless hail of random words and slogans on the television screens pauses for about ten seconds and the maxim appears - *Everything You Know Is Wrong*. It's as good a text as any for an exploration of this latest incarnation of U2.
The band are off, shattering preconceptions again. Sun Studios in Memphis is replaced by Hansa near the Berlin Wall; as backdrop, the vacant desert gives way to the urban hive, and right-on rock is reversed for a cacophonous futurist pop with all the glaring colours of lurid confusion. And so, dear friends, the fairytale concludes, with one transatlantic leap, our four Irish heroes are here.
I confess I flew to Zurich in some trepidation. I'm wary of some of the easy recent praise given U2 since it involves a dualism; an amputation of their past that separates them from the Good U2 of Achtung Baby and the Bad U2 of Rattle And Hum. Whereas I see continuities, this latest conventional line on the band seems to me to create gaping and false discontinuities.
Moreover, I wasn't completely convinced by Achtung Baby - of course it was inevitable this restless band would change. Just as The Unforgettable Fire marked a necessary new departure after War, any follow-up to Rattle And Hum was destined to scuttle off elsewhere.
The clockwork orange rhythms of 'The Fly' flung down the gauntlet and 'One' , 'So Cruel' and 'Love Is Blindness' were all enthralling ballads but otherwise, I wondered if people were being seduced by the surface of the music with both 'Better Than The Real Thing' and 'Acrobat' especially weak tracks. And if Edge and especially Adam and Larry were in stunning form, outside the ballads and 'The Fly', I wasn't always focussing on Bono.
Besides, I disliked all those favourable reviews that couldn't refuse the temptation to damn Rattle And Hum yet again. Against the tide, I still champion that album whose new songs may have been overpowered by their context. Scattered around the album they got lost among the more controversial live material while the film set them up for charges of vainglory which again overwhelmed the songs. Furthermore, U2's determination to mine the more traditional sources of rock and southern music set them apart from the new generation of bands and fans that would lead to the rise of Nirvana.
Just before Christmas, it's early morning in Lillie's Bordello in downtown Dublin, and I'm not entirely lucidly explaining some of these feelings to Bono. As usual, he's fast enough to sense my reservations about Achtung Baby. Well, he said, or words to that effect, I suppose you've earned the right to be wrong.
We were in a group of partying friends so it was neither the time nor the place for more than a brief chat. More pertinently, U2's publicity approach to Achtung Baby was out of character. This time, no post-match talks from U2 and Bono, normally the most voluble of interviewees. Instead co-producer, Brian Eno, volunteered to fill the breach with a lengthy feature in Rolling Stone to flag the album.
Gradually U2 have started to break their vows of media silence. But nothing formal, mind - no marathon summit meetings. Instead a few informal chats, playing their own spin-doctors with a few selected scribes. And this night in Zurich, I learn the reasons for their early reserve.
*The city conducts its own symphony* is an old Bono line but I can't tell you much about Zurich since airport, hotel and venue are all confined to the same peripheral quarter of the city, apparently far from its centre. The Zurichers are Swiss-German, their city seems to shut down implacably after midnight and the guidebook in my hotel room tells me about Zurich's reputation for shopping but nothing about James Joyce's grave or his association with the city.
All this self-discipline must generate a counter-reaction. For a mile along the airport road - and this in an area that shows no other signs of poverty or urban decay - all the buildings are blotted with spray-canned graffiti, as if some rogue group can't abide Swiss social hygiene.
Here in Zurich, the tour becomes a self-sealing capsule. There's no socialising with the polite but distant Swiss. No hordes of fans roam the hotel grounds and business connections with the Swiss promoter and the local record company are reduced to a minimum so the Zoo TV tour falls back on its own company.
Six pm dinner time for the eighty members of the menagerie; green pea soup and lamb chops, trout almondine and beef stew with Guinness or stuffed aubergine for the vegetarians, as a Lou Reed tape hums in the background.
It's far from plush. The Zurich venue is a sports hall with a comfy, lived-in air of slight dilapidation almost as if the National Stadium had been multiplied by six. We're all cramped together round wooden tables as the band slips in for food. Bono sports a royal red velvet ensemble while Larry confirms the tour's isolation by asking me the result of the Ireland/Albania match, a full 24 hours after its end. Then Adam sits opposite me, neatly picking the skin and the almonds off his trout.
As the conversation unwinds, I begin to appreciate the special gamble of this tour. Hitherto, U2 have been spartan about special effects believing style cramps spontaneity. Choreography, tape, lighting and other special effects cues generally enforce a totalitarian discipline on the music, making for a crushingly predictable show. A dozen dates into a global tour, those practices can draw all the enthusiasm from the performers.
Contrast U2 with Michael Jackson. His set is as tightly scheduled as a USAF bombing mission and permits no interference from mere humans. Of course, Jackson's audiences aren't disruptive but ponder his choices if he'd been confronted with the same extreme and potentially horrific scenario that faced Bono at U2's last Croke Park concert when a fan climbed aloft the Cusack Stand. U2 could improvise and Bono talk him down, but not acts like Jackson. Their choice: either shut down the set or ignore him, the next dance routine is timed to start in 24 seconds precisely.
So U2 refused the static spectacle. Instead they preferred to court the danger of emotional overkill exactly because of Bono's determination to connect with even the most remote corner of a 40,000 stadium crowd. Even so, rabble-rousing vs. totalitarian special effects is a false choice and Zoo TV is U2's way of escaping it.
A strange if unacceptable fact: stadium and performance technology is rigid and backward; the flexibility of studio, video and club technology has always outstripped it. But towards the end of last year, U2 and their lighting designer, Pete *Willie* Williams suddenly found a set of genuinely interactive technologies that didn't dehumanise performance. They grabbed it and Zoo TV was born.
It's a key reason why U2 couldn't talk with the release of Achtung Baby. The work was still in progress, this tour was never to be the standard album promo chore. Zoo TV would genuinely add to the mystery and meaning of Achtung Baby, but U2 just didn't know how, or indeed, if their concepts would work. Interviews would have been a blather of promises as yet unfulfilled.
The support policy also changes. Instead of the major-domo of the blues, BB King, U2 now enlist the Pixies in America and the mighty Fatima Mansions in Europe. That last choice might seem perverse but the original Microdisney once backed U2 at the TV club almost twelve years ago, just after the release of Boy, so old paths reunite and backstage in Zurich, Paul McGuinness drifts into the Mansions' dressing room for a cordial chat.
Cathal Coughlan's happy about their sound and general treatment but support bands can't afford all the luxuries; the Mansions must drive through the night to Frankfurt, the next date. More worringly, the American wing of their record company don't empathise with the sound and fury of Valhalla Avenue and Cathal hints there may be some harsh words ahead.
Out front in the Zurich Hallenstadion, I'm wondering how the Swiss will cope with the sulphuric acid of the Mansions. The Swiss aren't peacocks: I lose count of the number of women clad in blue-denim jeans and black sweatshirts. What is this: a revival meeting of the 1979 Board of Works secretarial outing to Lisdoonvarna?
The first forty Mansions seconds are hilarious. They start with the first sleep, dulcet verse of 'Angel's Delight' and the plastic lighters are already winking. Or at least they are until the Mansions switch to vicious grunge gear. Suddenly a Swiss audience thinks: must we suffer for U2's art?
For the next three songs, they just gape at the Mansions' blizzard of sonic punishment until the band land their lethal one-two combination of Scott Walker's 'Beyond The Moon' and 'Only Losers Take The Bus'. The Walker ballad prompts a partial reconciliation and I detect the first signs of movement as two guys near me briefly slam-dance to the psychotic disco robots-on-rockabilly of 'Losers'.
Cathal's piss, bile and vinegar is starting to crack the Swiss reserve and docility. He's completely in charge, ducking, diving and weaving, floating like a butterfly and kicking like a mule on steroids - and the Swiss are starting to realise they're in the ring with a true heavyweight. But somehow, I don't know if they catch the heavy irony when he introduces 'Viva Dead Ponies' with the line *this song could be about supermarkets*.
For them, this could be a culture-specific song about a crumbling, tawdry England but the line *I have turned the fridges off* surely applies to any commercially regimented society and Cathal flings in a jibe about Swiss bank accounts. Then it's 'Blues For Ceaucescu' and the riff that storms forever that nobody can oppose. If it wasn't against the etiquette of these events, Fatima Mansions could easily have won an encore.
There's hardly a pause until Zurich meets BP Fallon. After a mock Las Vegas announcement from the PA, the Beep saunters down the catwalk to a steel-grey Trabant that serves as his disc jockey hutch, enveloped in a boxer's dressing gown with an image of Marilyn Monroe on its back, looking like he's been taken by the spirit of Howard The Duck.
There's much classic funk: Sly Stone, Public Enemy, James Brown's 'Sex Machine' plus Bob Marley. Born in Germany, Beep works on Irish-Swiss relations with his schoolboy Deutsch and plays German versions of both The Beatles and David Bowie's 'Heroes', also recorded in Hansa. There's such a surge of identification that you suddenly learn just how the Bowie song has become a potent symbolic anthem of the newly united Europe.
But all this is just antipasti. The first five songs of the Zoo TV set are truly awesome. U2 dn't so much use every trick in the book as invent a whole new style of rock performance art.
Bono slips on, all in black and those wraparound 'Fly' shades, looking like the ideal Italian Eurovision presenter for, let's see, about 2012. But no Italian Eurovision presenter would start with a minute of sean-nós, let alone one that's been brutalised by backward taping trickery.
So much for any notion of authenticity. U2 are killing naturalism, broadcasting chaos from their Zoo TV station. Through 'Zoo Station', 'The Fly' and 'Even Better Than The Real Thing', the assembled sets on the Philips vidiwall scatter out a jumble of disconnected words and crazy mottos like *Ambition Bites The Nails Of Success*, the quasi-Zoroastrian *The Universe Is Exploding Because Of One Man's Lie* and crucially *Enjoy The Surface*. Bono does a mock goose-step and then at the end of 'The Fly' quips: *Some of this bullshit is real; some of it is expensive.*
This last is definitely true. The tour is budgeted only to break even in its first phase before it goes outdoors in America - and even then, the working personnel may double past 130. Even though Island has been taken over by Polygram and U2 are now Philips-related artists, the company hasn't allowed them free or even cut-price of the Vidiwall, the catalytic converter of this show which was developed by another division of the company. Furthermore, U2 still don't use corporate sponsors.
Like Coca-Cola. That hits me during 'Even Better Than The Real Thing', which suddenly jolts into focus. A throwaway on the album, it's now another zone of turbulence and about three stones heavier than the album version. But then its themes are consonant with Zoo TV's games in multiple perspective and Bono adds another layer of commentary as he stares into his own unsteady cam, projecting the hairs of his nostrils onto the video screens.
Then another coup with 'Mysterious Ways', which Edge opens on piano and their belly-dancer Christine flows down the stage, teasing both Bono and the guitarist. Images from Brian Eno of a blonde goddess (Marilyn Monroe) with taped lips revolve on the screens and Bono ends with a snatch from Donna Summer's 'Love To Love You, Baby', a song he probably abhorred in his earnest youth.
Again, it's interactive; a routine that can be changed every night. Or as Paul McGuinness has earlier told me, explaining U2's previous suspicion about special effects: *We never wanted the script to dictate the music.*
Yet with so much sensory overload, you might start to wonder if U2 have entirely given up on meaning. Or ask the question whether Zoo TV is testimony to little more than the fact that touring rock musicians watch more bad late-night television than people in any other profession?
But then comes 'One'. This is a song about the Irish. Bono announces: *We killed Joyce. You buried him,* and you can take your speculations where you want. A union of peace? Unity after the artistic and verbal disorder of 'Finnegan's Wake'? Or after a show so far dedicated to the temptations of the naked goddess of media chaos, Eris, with her 57 channels and nothing on but an Italian game show g-string, are U2 plunging back to the Godhead of communion?
I now know this much. I mislaid Bono on Achtung Baby. I'm rediscovering him on stage in Zurich tonight through a show that seems to intentionally and erratically bounce off the walls of a triangle whose three points seem to be media chaos, women and masculine belief.
Well, that's my interpretation, what needs no mediation is Bono's performance. Afterwards, one long time Bono-watcher working on the tour will remark: *He's so much more relaxed in these smaller secondary venues when there's no celebrity glad-handling or peer pressure,* and it tallies with my own experience over the years.
Of course, Bono began using props with the original 'Boy' character, feverishly smoking on a cigarette butt but now he's like a kid with a case of dynamite cigars. But on this tour, the years of experience are showing. Like his hyper-sensitivity ability to search out any opportunity. Or his absolute instinct as how far he can bond and trust an audience. Because he's been there so often, there's no contemporary performer who knows so precisely where the edge of the cliff is.
So at one point, tonight, he'll sway off the catwalk to be borne aloft on the arms of the fans. But now it's a party-piece - no longer the frenetic, hungry and over-eager gesture it once could be. Bono's great asset is that he's dared to make more mistakes than 50 other frontmen have had ideas and now he's reaping the harvest.
So after 'One', there's another surprise not on my set list, 'She's A Mystery To Me' changed into 'It's A Mystery'. Then he introduces 'Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World' as *an old Zurich drinking song* and a time-honoured Bono routine - inviting a girl from the audience up on stage with him - gets a new twist. He gives her his own hand-held camera and lets her direct the flow of U2 images onto the video screens while he mischievously sways in and out of the lens. Again Bono as game-show host; the only Irishman who could succeed Gay Byrne.
But now the show switches away from Achtung Baby. The band march down the catwalk for an acoustic busk of 'Angel Of Harlem' that segues into 'Dancing Queen'. For a brief and light intermission, this theatrically thunderous show scales down to the size of a parlour as Bono takes their second cover, 'Satellite Of Love' in a plaintive falsetto and then follows 'Bad' with an acapella sample of 'All I Want Is You'.
U2 relaunch themselves through 'Bullet The Blue Sky' with Bono downing a lip-mike and a cap to look like a grizzled Vietnam vet pilot with sidelines in coke trafficking and Sandinista busting. I don't believe they can renew the song but, here in Zurich, I get an entirely different European meaning to its last line *into the arms of America*.
It's Greatest Hits time but U2 neither reprise them nor reject past meanings. 'Running To Stand Still' ends with Bono righteously howling *Halleluia* and they play the spotlights back on the audience for 'Where The Streets Have No Name', where all the hand-clapping crowd participation is totally dependent on Larry's drums rampant.
Then 'Pride (In The Name Of Love ' confirms the dramatic value of all this interactive technology as a heart-stopping segment of Martin Luther King's epic Washington speech is spliced in. Then 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' and somehow Bono shifts the mood of the song as if it's now relaxed, friendly - perhaps even fatherly - advice...
The encores revert to the chaos comic-strip with Bono donning an absurd gold tinsel outfit for 'Desire'. Above him, the Trabant lighting pods glint like they're auditioning for Dr Who as benign evolutions of the Daleks and the song ends with Bono quoting from the concluding prophecy from the Discordian Gospel According to Bugs Bunny: *That's all folks!*
Well not quite. There's 'With Or Without You' but there's also 'Ultraviolet (Light My Way)' and a hushed 'Love Is Blindness' which really take you to the heart of the Zoo TV experience.
'Ultraviolet...' has the ultimate interactive moment. Here Bono picks up the phone and rings the Swiss speaking clock, letting its tones echo through the song. In America, he's been far more audacious, calling a local sexline and from Florida, the castaway Russian cosmonaut. Four times, his calls got blocked at the White House switchboard and once, he frivolously rang the nearest pizza parlour. The result: an uniformed delivery boy arrived with 100 pizzas and was directed to give them to the front rows.
Zoo TV at its most anarchic. The concept derives not only from the 'Zoo Station' song but also the madcap American morning Zoo radio shows, where anything can happen and usually does. But their fans and most Irish people already know U2's sense of the ridiculous. London, Los Angeles and New York critics usually miss their mischief perhaps because those big city shows are usually the most stressful where U2 have most to prove.
They'll even let others join the wind-up. Half-way through the show, there's a spoof 'commercial' for their Greatest Hits, narrated with a suitably portentous 'March Of Time' newsreel voiceover by their production designer Pete Williams. Zurich is its debut but though the band knew Williams was planning the scam, they didn't see or hear it beforehand.
That's the spontaneous joy of the system, designed by Williams and American Carol Dodds, who oversees the live video mixing and television input. They first collaborated on Bowie's 'Sound And Vision' tour but, later, Williams will admit that the pair tired of its rigid content after a fortnight on tour.
As Paul McGuinness claims, they've got the equivalent of a small TV station on tour and the system can patch into local channels to add more random images to the vidiwall mix. Backstage with Williams and Dodds, their enthusiasm is contagious as they prepare for the American outdoor leg of the tour. They now know the system works and integrates into U2's performance but projecting in stadiums is the next challenge. Still both they and U2 recognise they've found a system with no limits plus a band with the self-confidence not to be intimidated by the pair's ideas.
'Zoo TV' now has taken on a life of its own. Back in January, Dublin artist Cathy Owens got a call at her New York apartment to paint up four Trabants. A month's work to pay her rent, she thought but now in late May, Cathy's back here on the road in Zurich since U2 will not install 16 Trabants for the great American outdoors.
Her's isn't the only input besides Williams and Dodds. Video maker, Mark Pellington provided the opening verbal salvo while Brian Eno has many contributions. So if 'Ultraviolet...' has its silly phone-calls, Eno's visuals provide the counterpoint - a woman desperately trying to communicate in deaf and dumb sign language: Everything You Know Is Wrong: Zoo TV keeps exploding the chaos of communication.
So the closing song, 'Love Is Blindness' swims into view. The black and white images with their pinpoints of light could be the view from a plane, circling a small city at night but instead Williams took them from a star-map. They transmit a mood of forlorn distance and the Bono sings.
For 'Love Is Blindness' finally closes the circle. Between the record of Achtung Baby and this show there's a maze of meanings but now that Zoo TV has played all the angles in the communications game, Bono centres his emotions and U2 make their final equation: love is a trust that must pass beyond all the confusion and misinformation of both perception and reason. All that's left are the three blind virtues of hope, faith and charity.
The theme remains their original one, surrender - but now, at 30, it's ceased to be an easy, lifetime bargain. U2 get caricatured as moralists but few hear how Rattle And Hum was riddled with doubt and contradiction or that its own desert imagery surrounded a protagonist with parched emotions searching for an oasis of love.
But who's now singing 'Love Is Blindness' with such a swell of emotion? The earlier rag'n'bone man and gameshow host of the heart who's also Elvis as the Anti-Christ of Las Vegas? Now U2 know how surrender can be the password for fraud, used by every tempting con-man as Bono plays with our bewilderment - as if the original Fool of 'Boy' has become the charlatan and trickster Zoo TV conducts a battle between relativism and the absolute of love. I suspect U2 don't always know which wins.
Of course, Achtung Baby has been seen as a shift from America to Europe, from the world of Bob Dylan to that of David Bowie. After all, U2 grew up in the Seventies when Dylan and Bowie were supposedly at odds, Dylan apparently representing folkie roots and authenticity while Bowie was deemed the untrustworthy prankster of the pop surface.
Two clans, the orphaned children of Dylan and Bowie, may still so believe but U2 prove it a false antithesis. Bowie conducted his own spiritual struggles while Dylan's songs, after his committed Christian phase, became a religious and mystical puzzle. U2 continue shedding off one more layer of skin but behind Zoo TV may hide its invisible director - who may or may not be pleased to meet you if you guess him - Dylan's Jokerman from Infidels.
And behind him perhaps the original: Herman Melville's Confidence Man. Zoo TV may thrillingly play all the marked cards like a crooked riverboat gambler dealing from the bottom of the deck but the themes of love, belief and surrender remain. Only what was once linear is now a kaleidoscope.
So Bono sings 'Love Is Blindness' and afterwards as the Swiss orderly depart, you can also take it as a final comment on the mutual dependency between band and audience. Has it all been per Dylan *just a series of dreams*?
One answer remains. Over the PA comes Elvis; he's singing 'I Can't Help Falling In Love'.
Lying in a huge sofa in their Zurich hotel, the Edge is weary. Some European bug has taken its toll and he's complaining of stomach cramps. Normally the most measured of U2 spokesmen, his condition hardly makes him animated.
Still, caution is the keynote to U2's approach to Achtung Baby. They put it out and then played possum. Why?
*We'd learned our lesson,* he says. *I think we finally realised that just after finishing an album is completely the wrong time to talk about it. Because you're so close to it and brutalised by the process that you're completely unable to be objective or really discuss what you're trying to do in any intelligent way.
*Looking back at some of the things we did around The Joshua Tree and even Rattle And Hum, they're not really accurate. When you're so close to something that's so important, you very often come across as incredibly self-important and pretentious.*
So neither the Edge nor U2 are giving away any free manifestos with Achtung Baby. *I think it's a great little record,* he says. *It's got some great songs, it's quite original sounding and I don't get embarrassed when I hear it on the radio.
*But it's just a record,* he adds. *It's nice to be able to say that. I happen to think it's a pretty good one but I don't think it's necessary to discuss or dissect albums in a very intellectual way.*
Or as the Rolling Stones once said, *It's only rock'n'roll and I like it.* U2, it seems, have reached that inevitable rock Thirtysomething stage where they resist or deflect (mis)interpretation rather than aid wilder speculations about the significance or otherwise of their work. As against five years ago when they were meditating The Joshua Tree, the Edge now takes refuge in rock's lighter side.
*We're enjoying it more now,* he says as if the band have made a collective decision to shift the burden of expectations placed upon them. *I maybe see the value of rock'n'roll that it's a complete bundle of contradictions. In some ways, it's completely silly and ridiculous but it's also an incredibly powerful medium at its best with the ability to touch people in a very profound way. I don't think it can change the world but I don't think I ever thought it could change the world.*
In the same philosophical spirit, he both defends Rattle And Hum and accepts the shortcomings of the promotional strategy around the film:
*It became a massive project which it really shouldn't have been. The album and the movie was just us, enjoying being in America and exploring American music and messing around with it... but suddenly, it's a big movie deal. Maybe it was ridiculous of us to assume that, at that point in time, we could do something that was less high profile and less of a mega thing.
*We had always thought of the record as a tying-up of loose ends for that Joshua Tree phase. For lyrical reasons as much as anything, since we'd started delving into those idioms. For Bono as a lyricist, it was a very rich heritage to draw from. He was reading a lot of American writers. His imagery was saturated by the south, the New Journalism and Flannery O'Connor so it seemed like a natural thing to take it a little further since we were spending so much time touring there. All the original songs were written on the road in America.*
Crucially, Achtung Baby stands in the same relationship to Rattle And Hum as The Unforgettable Fire to War, an earlier shift which was also hailed as a return to European form. It looks like they've been cast in a Jekyll and Hyde role, the Good U2 and the Bad U2. When can we expect the return of the Bad U2?
*I was just saying now that we've got all these great reviews again, I'm slightly depressed because all I've got to look forward to is the next backlash.*
But if the Edge is low-key about Achtung Baby, the album, he's less so about the live performance. This is a show that works in new principles, ht open u a Pandora's box of fresh possibilities for the band.
*I think when Bono's lyrics were starting to come through,* Edge says, *we started to see we were entering quite different terrain. We were working on 'The Fly', 'Zoo Station' and 'Until The End Of The World' and the possibilities of performing these new songs started occurring to us and how we could push it in an entirely different direction. We touched on it in 'The Fly' video.'
We talk about the show's flexibility. For instance, the songs still don't have to have a predetermined length. *That,* says the Edge, *was one of the more important decisions we made early on, that we wouldn't sacrifice flexibility, so we designed a system that is both extremely complicated and high-tech but also incredibly simple and hands-on, controlled by human beings... in that sense, it's still a live performance.*
Even mistakes can be used. They need not be a blemish; the audience may not even notice. *Yes,* he says, *that's happened a few times and it's not a problem, just a different show.*
He smiles, recalling Bono's calls in vain to the White House: *He actually got to know the girl on the switchboard but after the fourth time, she started to smell a rat. Like the same guy calling about the same time but there was always a big crowd in the room! She wasn't quite sure what was going on but I think she knew she was the butt end of some joke...
*It's fun to play around with these ideas of where we can take a U2 show. It's almost getting into a whole new way of playing concerts. For us, it's thrilling, inspiring. We're only at the beginning of this. I think we can go a lot further.*
U2 won't be playing Ireland this year however. At present, their plans focus on a massive outdoor concert next summer that may well bypass the traditional venues of Slane and Thurles. That's the word from the Edge's mouth which surely should be taken as more reliable than recent Irish media speculation.
He argues the decision is consistent with Zoo TV tour policy. Its first leg has involved playing one or two nights in smaller American and European venues and after their last round of Irish Christmas/New Year dates, they don't believe they can return to The Point.
*If we were to do two Point Depots,* he argues, *there would probably be only enough seats for our friends and family so it has to be a big event next time.
*It really comes down to the fact,* he continues, *that the last time we played the Point we did four nights - but even at that, we just weren't supplying the demand. There was a lot of hassle about the tickets and a lot of people didn't get to see the show and we made a decision then that the next time we played Ireland, we didn't want to do that; we wanted to play a big show that gave everybody the opportunity to see us.*
But why wait to play Ireland next summer? The read from the U2 camp seems to involve two reasons. First, they wanted to keep their options open till they saw how the Zoo TV experiment worked. Even now, they still haven't taken it outdoors...
Secondly, they weren't fully confident about the available Irish outdoor venues. Given the visual spectacle of the Zoo TV experience, Slane presents problems since this can't be a daylight concert. and anyone who attended last year's Féile knows Thurles still has to shape up to meet the standards expected of U2 - though it'll probably come closer this year.
Croke Park or Lansdowne Road might meet their specifications but U2 seem to be probing the possibility of another outdoor site that would require the support of local government, the army and Aer Lingus.
As the Edge says, for U2, Ireland is always going to be *a problem of scale*. And with the Zoo TV show - what scale!
Everything you believe may indeed not be true - but that much is!

How many 'bars' do you have on your WiFi right now? A strong four or five 'bars' or a weak one or two? Have you ever wondered why moving you device just a few inches can make a world of difference in terms of WiFi signal reception?
Have you ever wanted a more accurate measurement of your WiFi signal, do you want to know what 'channel' your WiFi signal is using, do you want to know your WiFi router's MAC address?
Or maybe you want to find out a little more about the WiFi networks around you or even see 'hidden' networks?
Well all of this and more is possible, but only available through WiFi network analyzer programs or Apps. If you are using a PC/laptop or tablet then head over to the MetaGeek site and download InSSIDer, they have a number of versions available, if you are a wireless radio engineer you will probably already be using one of their paid products. But for the general man in the street the free version will work fine.
Most people will want a more portable version and there are hundreds of Apps which do exactly the same thing. If you are an Android user then Wifi Analyzer will do the job just fine or you can browse the Play Store for another one you like the look of, however most of them perform exactly the same function.
If you are using an Apple device then the Network Analyzer Lite App will give you all the same information.
Now the difference between the information these Apps/programs give you compared to the WiFi settings on your PC/phone is that they are far more detailed and will show almost every WiFi network in range. By default the WiFi settings on your phone/laptop will only show networks where the signal is usually above 30% or 40%, WiFi analyzers will show networks even if the signal strength is just 1%, too weak to connect to but useful to know. You might see a 'StarBucks WiFi' pop up with just a 5% signal strength, this network would not be displayed in your regular WiFi settings, so if you want free WiFi you will now only have to move physically closer to the store.
Another great feature is being able to see which of the 14 'channels' each WiFi network is using, most WiFi routers default to a just a few channels, meaning they all perform poorly, once you can find the least congested channel you can change your router settings and instantly enjoy faster WiFi!
If you are planning on using a WiFi range extender or one of the WiFi hacking apps listed on our site then you will need to know the MAC address of the WiFi router, now this is like a serial number and had nothing to do with Apple Mac computers. The MAC address is a unique identifier, like an address or ZIP/Post code and is usually presented in a format like like 01:D3:45:67:89:AB and will appear close to the WiFi network name in brackets in one of the Apps or programs listed above.
So go out and take a closer look at your wireless environment!

One of the architects of Mac OS X -- and a top Steve Jobs lieutenant -- is out
"I've worked with Steve [Jobs] for 22 years and have had an incredible time developing products at both NeXT and Apple, but at this point, I want to focus less on products and more on science."
Spending more time with science, rather than one's family, is not the usual reason given for leaving a company where you spent the better part of your career. But that's what Bertrand Serlet says in the (aapl) press release Wednesday that announced his departure.
Serlet also took the opportunity to praise Craig Federighi, who will be taking over as vice president of Mac software engineering.
But what does it mean? Early speculation among the writers who follow Apple like Kremlinologists studying the Politburo centers on the diminishing role of Mac OS X within Apple, its transformation (with Lion) into something more iOS-like, and the rising fortunes of Scott Forstall, senior VP of iOS software, who used to work for Serlet but is now perceived as outshining him.
Below: The paragraph we wrote about Serlet in June 2008, when he was considered a candidate -- albeit a long-shot -- to replace Steve Jobs. And below that, some Hacker News commentary on Serlet's contribution from two former Apple software engineers.
<!-- more -->
One of only two members of Apple's executive team for whom English is a second language -- Fake Steve Jobs calls him a "friendly cyborg" from another planet, but he's actually from France -- Serlet came to Apple from Xerox PARC and NeXT, where he developed the workspace manager in NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP. Having help port the NeXT operating system to Mac OS X, he took over Avie Tevanian's software engineering post in 2003. Serlet is credited with leading development of 10.4 and 10.5 versions of OS X, but he's most famous among Apple fans for his "Redmond, start your copiers" performance at WWDC 2006 -- available on YouTube -- pointing out similarities between OS X and Windows Vista.

Well...I can't say I didn't see it coming (recent ex-Apple engineer here), and I'm happy for Bertrand, but Apple is loosing an extremely valuable asset. Bertrand is a truly amazing and, I feel, wholly under-appreciated engineer and manager. He knew the technology better than pretty much anyone at Apple, and he stayed involved in all of the nitty-gritty details including participating in some of the internal engineer mailing list discussions.
One story I can relate that I think illustrates the point: Inside Apple there is a system to search the source code for every product they ship. The idea is that when you need to track down the definition of that primitive method that keeps crashing on you, you just go to this site, type in the function name, and get the source laid out in front of you (nicely syntax highlighted, of course). Well, one day I got the idea to use this tool to search for people, instead of functions. For a while now the policy at Apple has been that engineer's names don't go in the public headers that ship...but there's no rule about internal code that the outside world will never see. So I typed in "Bertrand Serlet" into the search, and the first thing that popped up?
Seriously! The rest of the list was equally impressive including the original implementation of NSObject, a bunch of CoreFoundation, and on, and on. Avi Tevanian often gets credit for the work that he did on Mach, but Bertrand was most of the brains behind Cocoa.
Anyway, I could go on, but I'll just say that if I could have one wish as a programmer it would be to get to work with Bertrand Serlet again.
43 points by nupark 3 hours ago | link
Speaking as a former Apple engineer in Core OS, this is a bit too glowing. Serlet wrote quite a bit of code in the NeXT days, much of which does not meet what you would call modern best practices, and even when written was fairly unusual. However, Serlet, despite no longer writing code, was incredibly stubborn about any changes to his pet implementations, even 10-20 years later. This included large changes, such as updating malloc to a more modern implementation (see Jason Evan's later work on jemalloc), and small changes, such as updating top(1) to better match its Linux and BSD counterparts and implement a standardized library (libtop) for accessing process/host statistics (he wrote top, too).
Serlet was like many technical individuals that graduated into fulltime management; stuck with the last technology they'd worked on, as it was when they last worked on it. Avie was the same with his fixation on Mach, and Mac OS X was honestly poorer for it.

Heh, ok…I'll take that. I find your perspective a bit entertaining coming from Core OS (I was on Server, as it so happens). At least, when I was there Core OS had a reputation as being the more "academic" and "by the book" group. That's compared to Frameworks, which was much more pragmatic than dogmatic. One of the things I admired was how Bertrand managed those conflicting viewpoints with some grace. Of course, things being what they were, I'd expect someone from Core OS to blame Bertrand for being too "old fashioned". At the same time I know plenty of people from Frameworks who were upset that he "adopted new technology too soon"…there was especially a lot of that with respect to libdispatch. As for malloc, I find it hard to believe that he was stubborn about changes. The one chance I had to sit and have coffee with Bertrand, we discussed what API's we'd most like to rewrite given infinite time/resources. His answer was "malloc". I think rather than being stuck with the last technology, he had a difficult time balancing the pressures of change with the need for consistence, and did so admirably.
Oh, and as for top…when they did change it in early SnowLeopard builds, it broke a whole host of tooling, etc., and they had to revert some changes...

Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SGMS's net profit margin of -5.98% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation.

BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School boys' soccer team snapped a three-game losing skid in convincing fashion on Monday, scoring five unanswered second-half goals to defeat visiting Windsor, 7-1.
Winless Windsor cut into the Otters' 2-0 lead in the second half's first minute, when striker Brandon Tillman's hard shot from the right side bounced in off OV senior goalie Shane Quenneville.

FERRISBURGH — An $18,000 federal grant awarded to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will allow museum staff to offer the region's teachers free hands-on, on-the-water training, and the materials they need to in turn offer that same outdoor ecology education to their students over the next two years.
MIDDLEBURY — The man accused in a string of burglaries committed in Addison County earlier this year faced additional charges this past Wednesday in Vermont Superior Court's Criminal Division in Middlebury — and was again denied bail.
According to court documents, Raymond Ritchie, 37, of Addison was arraigned Sept. 25 for four more felony counts of burglary, each of which carry a potential life sentence because of his seven prior felony convictions, one from 2005 and six from 2001.
NEW HAVEN — Vermont State Police are inviting any Addison County resident who has been the victim of a burglary or theft since 2010 to come to VSP's Route 7 barracks in New Haven on Oct. 7 to view a cache of stolen property recovered from an Addison home.
Full story: New burglary charges brought against Addison man
The viewing hours next Monday are set for 10 a.m. until noon and from 5 to 7 p.m.
MIDDLEBURY — The Champlain Valley football team came to Middlebury Union High School on Friday night with the same 4-0 Division I record as the Tigers. At least for that evening, any further resemblance between the two teams was limited to the number of players each put on the field and to the fact that all wore helmets and cleats.
BRISTOL — Friday's 2-1 setback to visiting Division I Essex dropped the Division II Mount Abraham Union High School field hockey team to 5-3, but even though it represented the Eagles' third loss in four games, Coach Mary Stetson was not upset afterward.
To start with, the 5-1-2 Hornets are playing like D-I title favorites. Friday's win was their fifth straight and the first in that stretch in which Essex has even allowed a goal.
MIDDLEBURY — The man accused in a string of burglaries committed in Addison County earlier this year faced additional charges in Vermont Superior Court's Criminal Division in Middlebury on Wednesday and was denied bail.
VERGENNES — Vergennes Union High School students this past Friday dedicated their ninth annual Peace One Day rally to the late Rep. Greg Clark, a city resident and teacher at Mount Abraham who they said was a strong backer of their annual rally for harmony at school, in homes and in the community as well as around the world.
ADDISON — The Addison Planning Commission on Sept. 16 formally adopted its new proposed update to zoning regulations and agreed to forward the laws to the town selectboard.
Chairman Frank Galgano said planners opted to make only minor changes to the document after the formal public hearing they held the week before.
"Essentially it's the same proposal we presented on that evening," Galgano said.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women's soccer team opened its season with two disappointments, an overtime loss at Amherst when the Panthers were missing their entire freshman class due to a scheduling conflict, and a weather-shortened tie at Keene State, a game they were dominating.
But since then, the Panthers have looked like the team that played well enough in 2012 to host an NCAA Division III regional, the program's seventh NCAA appearance.
