TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State head coach Tim Esmay has promoted Sun Devil Hall of Fame member Mike Benjamin to assistant coach. Former Sun Devil student-athlete and graduate manager Greg Bordes will step into the role of volunteer coach.
Benjamin, who has been a volunteer assistant coach at ASU for the past three seasons, will continue his role as infield and third base coach, as well as manager of the team's run game.
"Mike has done an unbelievable job of coaching this program since he joined my staff in 2010," coach Esmay said. "The fact that he will now be able to use that expertise in recruiting and evaluating talent, as well as on the diamond and in practice, is an immeasurable boost for not only the baseball team, but the university as a whole."
Benjamin, who played shortstop for the Sun Devils in 1986 and 1987, was inducted into the Arizona State University Hall of Fame in 2011. During his time at ASU, Benjamin has helped mentor a number of infielders that are now in the professional leagues, including Joey DeMichele, Drew Maggi, Deven Marrero, and Raoul and Riccio Torrez.
Bordes spent six years with the Sun Devil baseball program, including four as a student-athlete and two as a graduate manager, before he became an area scout for the New York Mets last spring. He was a three-year letterwinner for the Sun Devils, and a member of two College World Series teams (2005, 2007) and a pair Pac-10 Championship squads (2007, 2008). Bordes played more than a year of minor league baseball and is the younger brother of former Sun Devil pitcher Brett Bordes.
"Greg's professional baseball experience, both as a player and a scout, will enable him to help our current student-athletes reach their highest potential on the field," coach Esmay said. "However, he knows what it takes to be a Sun Devil and how to do things the Sun Devil way, and that is what will help him teach our guys how to succeed beyond just their playing days."
Coach Esmay and Benjamin were teammates at Arizona State during the 1986 and 1987 seasons under head coach Jim Brock, and both have sons on the current Sun Devil team. Benjamin's son, Michael Jr., is set to be a junior infielder on the 2013 team, while coach Esmay's son, Tucker, will be a redshirt sophomore this coming season.
Benjamin hit .315 in his ASU career, including .327 with 18 homers and 55 RBI during the '87 season in which he earned First Team All-American and First Team All-Pac-10 honors. Benjamin also stole 30 bases, helping lead the Sun Devils to Omaha and the College World Series that year. He was a third round pick of the San Francisco Giants in the 1987 MLB Draft.
Benjamin played 13 seasons of Major League Baseball, the first seven of which he spent with the Giants. He made his Major League debut for the Giants on July 7, 1989 and played there through the 1995 season. He spent 1996 with the Philadelphia Phillies before joining the Boston Red Sox in 1997. He played two seasons in Boston, playing in the 1998 American League Divisional Series, before finishing his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Following his pro career, Benjamin was a coach for the Chandler National Little League team that advanced to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Benjamin replaces former ASU assistant coach Travis Jewett, who left earlier this summer to become an assistant coach at Vanderbilt.

It should have a ring around the stem, just below the cap. It is fairly common in greenhouses, and grows with potted plants as well. Don't kill it! Enjoy it! It won't hurt the plant. PS - Don't eat it either! Cheers - Martha Gottlieb

A Zillow report concluded that rent in Denver is 'very unaffordable'
DENVER - Rents in the Denver market are growing at a staggering rate, according to new research.
Zillow.com found that Denver rents appreciated at an annual rate of 9.4 percent, putting us below only Pittsburgh (12.9 percent), San Francisco (13.5 percent) and San Jose (15.1 percent). The nationwide average year-over-year growth is significantly less, just 2.8 percent.
The expensive rent means the 31.8 percent of the average Denver renter's income is spent on their lease. Comparatively, Zillow found that homeowners are spending 18.9 percent of their income.
Zillow said that the historical rates for both renting and ownership in Denver was 21.6 percent, indicating that the cost of ownership has gone down while renting has gone up in comparison to the median income.
Inventory of homes for sale is tight nationwide, according to the research, and values are on the rise. In fact, the website reported that 34 of 35 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas experienced year-over-year home value increases.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Star battles Through All-New Format Hell's Gate to Finish Second
February 11, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Graham Jarvis has earned a strong second place at the 2018 Hell's Gate extreme enduro. With an all-new format for this year, concluding in a 20-minute sprint race, the event posed a fresh challenge for the five-time winner.
For the first time ever, the event kicked off with a Prologue race on the Friday night. Designed to set the starting order for Saturday's race, the Prologue was an endurocross style event held close to the hosting Il Ciocco Hotel. Although it provided a great spectacle for the fans, the race results were eventually scrapped due to issues with the course.
Saturday's heat race went well for Jarvis. An expert at managing his pace, the Brit did exactly what he had to do over the five-laps, finishing fourth aboard his Husqvarna FE 250 in the cold conditions of the Tuscan hills. The position gave him a good start for the night race, which saw riders set off at 3.30pm for a tough three-hour multi-lap event.
At the conclusion of the night race, the top-10 riders were given a 15-minute break before contesting the new 20-minute endurocross in the arena area of the venue. In freezing conditions, the riders fought bar-to-bar in front of the record-crowd of spectators to decide the overall winner. With the final results calculated on the sum of the previous legs, Jarvis was announced as runner-up, just a few minutes behind eventual winner Mario Roman.
Graham Jarvis: "I really enjoyed the racing today, I always do here at Hell's Gate. It's been a tough couple of days and I'm still getting used to riding the 4-stroke, but the bike has been absolutely faultless over the entire weekend. It has been pretty close between the top-four all day and it's all come down to the final 20-minute race off. It would have been nice to take my sixth win at the event, but I'm happy with second."
Results – Hells Gate 2018
1. Mario Roman (Sherco) 3:06:03
2. Graham Jarvis (Husqvarna) 3:08:57
3. Travis Teasdale (Beta) 3:12:45
4. Diego Nicoletti (Husqvarna) 3:32:14
5. Sonny Goggia (KTM) 3:39:26

My top end went on m 98 cr 125, the needle bearing clip came out and broke apart and shrapnel got everywhere and blew it up. I cleaned out the top end and washed out the crank with the bike upside down. the bike starts up great and seems to run fine but im getting a weird di-di-di-di-di-di-di noise coming from the motor. i tried adjust the power valve and tightening everything but the noise is still there. Here is a link to a video where you can hear the sound. It gets louder as rpm's get higher and at really low rpm barely idling it goes away. I am pretty new to bikes and 2 strokes so any help would be appreciated.

All items are sold in working condition. Instruction manuals, guides, downloadable or online accessible content listed on the product, are not guaranteed to be included.
In Terror in Meeple City, you arrive in Meeple City as a gigantic, famished, scaly-skinned monster! Your goal: Dig your claws and dirty paws into the asphalt, destroy buildings, and devour innocent meeples – in short: sow terror while having fun. The monster who has caused the most damage after the carnage finally ends wins the game.
The buildings in Meeple City are comprised of floor tiles and meeples, with the meeples serving as pillars that support the floors. Four wooden vehicles are on the ground in the eight neighborhoods in the city. Each monster, which consists of a wooden paws disc and a wooden body, starts in one corner of the game board. On a turn you take two actions from four possibilities, repeating an action if desired:
Move: Pick up your monster body, flick the paws disc, then place the body back on the disc.
Demolish: If your paws are on the sidewalk surrounding a building, you can pick up your monster body, drop it onto a building, then collect any floors that have no meeples on them.
Toss a vehicle: If you're in a neighborhood with a vehicle, you can pick up the vehicle, place it on your body, then flick the vehicle at a building or another monster.
Breathe: Even while away from sidewalks with no vehicles, you can cause destruction by placing your chin on your monster's body and blowing across the board.
Monsters tend to be messy when obtaining meals, but if you knock meeples off the city board, you might be punished for letting food go to waste, costing you a tooth or letting other players take an additional action. After your two actions, you can eat unprotected meeples on the ground in your neighborhood, but you can eat only as many as the number of teeth you have. If you knock another monster to the ground, you break off one of its teeth, thereby keeping it from stealing your food! Meeples come in six colors, with the colors representing different types of inhabitants: blue (journalists), green (military), yellow (blondes), grey (old people), red (heroes), and black (businessmen). For each set of six you collect in your stomach, you score 10 points at game's end. You score points for collecting floors and teeth, too, and you can also score for achieving the goal on your character card.
In addition to the character card, each player has a power card and a superpower card unique to his monster, with the former lasting the entire game and the latter being a one-shot effect that's revealed only upon use.
Terror in Meeple City includes rules for monsters that evolve over the course of the game, that lose points for meeples not in sets, and that want to combine two game boards to allow for play with up to eight players.

Cattle die in barn fire
Farmers and firefighters saved save most of the milking cows when a Perth County blaze tore through a dairy barn.
The owner of the farm, on Line 61 southwest of Milverton, noticed smoke coming from under the eaves of his older barn at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
The family was milking their dairy heard in a newer, front-open air milking barn, attached to the older barn, and moved the milking cows to a field west of the structure when they realized what was happening. The cattle were later moved off-site by family and neighbours.
About 10 dairy calves died in the rear barn. Firefighters were unable to save the older barn, which had hay stored inside it. Heavy equipment had to be brought in to knock it down.

EditFINAL BOSS - MANA BEAST
This is not a hard final boss at all. It can deal a lot of damage, but only attacks once every minute or so. It then mostly waits for you to attack it. Kind of dissappointing for a final boss, but you must stop it all the same. The Mana Beast will use a pattern of flying away from the fortress, breathing fire at you, flying close and letting you attack it, and then flying away again. It deals damage to everyone with the fire, when it rushes the fortress before you can attack it, and when it goes away. The fire deals the most damage and does around 100 to everyone in your group. Heal after the fire and don't bother about the other attacks dealing much damage. You can't hurt it with any magic since it casts Wall on itself, and no normal attacks will work on it. To kill it, cast Mana Magic when it's slowly coming up from below the platform you're standing on, and Randi will be able to hurt it with the Mana Sword. With Mana Magic from both Primm and Popoi, you'll deal around 450 a hit minimum. If you are higher than level 65 or so, this can get even higher. Crits will always deal 999 as well. You wait for it to get close, cast Mana Magic, and then just use your normal attack. When it runs away, heal, wait for it to get close, and cast it again. After about three or four rounds of this, the Beast will be defeated.

After spending last week enjoying the cuisine, quaint streets, swamps and plantations of New Orleans, researching for a new urban fantasy, I'm back and ready for strong caffeine and another author talk. Please join me in welcoming Paula Benson!
Paula, what may I get you to drink?
PAULA: I love a bold coffee brew in a mug with half as much cream.
Ally: An easy request for my magic pot. :) In the meantime, please introduce yourself to our readers and include something not normally in your bio.
A legislative attorney and former law librarian, Paula Gail Benson's short stories have been published in Kings River Life (http://kingsriverlife.com/), the Bethlehem Writers Roundtable (http://bwgwritersroundtable.com/), Mystery Times Ten 2013 (Buddhapuss Ink), and A Tall Ship, a Star, and Plunder (Dark Oak Press and Media, released January 20, 2014).
She regularly blogs with others about writing mysteries at http://writerswhokill.blogspot.com. Her personal blog is Little Sources of Joy, at http://littlesourcesofjoy.blogspot.com, and her website is http://paulagailbenson.com.
Something not in my bio: I performed in two productions of Noel Coward's Blythe Spirit in two theaters, one time playing the medium Madame Arcati (where I threw a sandwich over my shoulder and the night the reviewer saw the production it landed in the onstage trash can like a slam dunk) and other time playing the Maid (when I had to take on a deep demonic voice during the seance scene—also I broke the tray I threw in rehearsal).
PAULA: When I joined the online Guppy ("Great Unpublished") Chapter of Sisters in Crime in June 2012, I began receiving emails about story calls for anthologies. For a long time, I had told people I was a writer, so I decided I needed to prove it by making submissions. In 2013, I was fortunate to have eight stories accepted and published. This year, I've had one story published and another accepted for publication. Two of my stories are scheduled to be in anthologies released in 2015.
Ally: Describe the differences you have to consider in writing a short story as opposed to a longer manuscript. Which do you think is easier to write - novels or shorts?
PAULA: In a short story, you have fewer words to establish character and setting. Descriptions must be tailored to the bare minimum, particularly if you're limited by word count. Also, many short story calls are for themed anthologies, so you must write to meet the requirements instead of what you might prefer.
Novels allow you more room to explore characters or situations, but also require a more detailed structure to maintain conflict and suspense and keep a tight rein on a longer plot arc.
So far, I've had greater success writing and finishing short stories; however, I'm still trying my hand at novels. What I've learned by writing short stories has helped me to hone my skills for creating longer works. Each story I write seems to grow in word count.
One thing that makes writing short stories easier is that you may learn more quickly if your submission has been accepted or rejected. Writing for a deadline, then getting feedback quickly can be encouraging and help you keep striving to improve your writing.
Whether long or short, actual writing takes discipline and dedication. And, that can be hard work whatever the length of the story.
Ally: How do you find a publisher and audience for short stories? How do you market them?
PAULA: Again, I must give a lot of credit to the Guppies, who are a great source for possible markets. Also, Sandra Seamans has a wonderful blog that publicizes short story and other writing opportunities. (http://sandraseamans.blogspot.com/). In addition, the Short Mystery Fiction Society (http://shortmystery.blogspot.com/) provides lots of support and publicity for its members. There is no cost to join the SMFS and its list serv always offers useful information.
Marketing short stories follows the same path as marketing novels. Once you have a few short stories published, you need to help readers find you, through a website, blogging, and social media networks. The wonderful thing is that short stories appeal to people who have a limited time span for reading. Maybe that's why drabble (100 word stories) and flash fiction (usually 1000 words or less) are getting so much attention and being acquired by so many new markets.
Going to conferences and meetings (for writers as well as social, religious, and community events) where you can tell people about your work, sell books, and hand out bookmarks is important. Keep connecting with other short story writers as well as readers. Word of mouth and networking are crucial. I find listing your online credits on a bookmark to be very beneficial. People may be willing to give your writing a chance if they can read some of it free of charge. Also, most folks can use a bookmark!
Ally: What kind of paranormal did you incorporate in two of your stories?
PAULA: In "Ghost of a Chance," Heck, the pirate hero, discovers that his vessel is being followed by a ghost pirate ship. As he tries to outrun it, he finds himself haunted by the face of a woman who jumped over board to avoid being ravished by the crew.
"Long in the Tooth," the Featured Story in the online Bethlehem Writers Roundtable June 2013 issue and 3rd Place Winner of the Rountable's 2013 Short Story Award, is about an elderly, dying patient, irritably tolerating hospital routines and longing to leave life behind. As she feels herself fading away, she encounters an angel who makes her wait at Heaven's gate, then gives her a reason to linger on earth when she answers his question.
Ally: I love quick answer questions, so here are a few for you:
- Favorite way to eat chocolate: in almost any combination with ice cream
- Last place you went shopping: online
- If you could take anyone with you on your next shopping trip, who would it be? my friend Charlotte
- What book or short story would you like to have written? B.K. Stevens' short story "Thea's First Husband" published in the June 2012 issue of AHMM and nominated for an Agatha and Macavity
- An item on your bucket list: travel to Europe and beyond!
Ally: Thanks so much for being on the Coffee Chat today. I enjoyed hearing about a writing category that I find much harder than novels. Good luck with your future stories!
PAULA: This is my first online interview! Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Work to improve customer relations with people with hearing loss has earned one local authority recognition from a national charity.
Bucks County Council has been congratulated by Action on Hearing Loss (formerly RNID) and its Aylesbury-based contact centre has now been awarded the Louder Than Words charter mark.
The council sent 72 workers on a half-day course to improve techniques when dealing with callers with hearing problems.
Steve Bignell, operations manager for customer contact, is calling on other councils to follow suit.
He said: "Staff felt very engaged. The feedback I received from them was probably the best I have ever had after any outsourced training."

"I love to play the game. I love to pitch. It's a shame to get old."
Those were the true and telling words Andy Pettitte told the media after the final out of the game, the final out of his career. It's a somber thing to know that the stars you idolize one day will grow old and will be forced to hang it up due to age, despite the fact that they love playing baseball. Pettitte always was one to dream of going out on top, and although the final start of his career wasn't at Yankee Stadium, it was just as special. In 116 pitches, Andy Pettitte pitched a complete game, giving up one run on five hits, getting his 11th win of the season and ending his career on a high note.
Andy Pettitte looked strong through eight and two-thirds before giving up a single to Chris Carter. Joe Girardi went to the mound and it appeared he was taking out the veteran lefty–until Girardi said some quick words and walked back to the dugout, leaving Pettitte on the mound. The next batter grounded out, ending the game. After the game, Pettitte stood on the mound, overcome with emotion as he let some tears fall from his eyes, waving to the fans of Houston that had supported him during his brief stint with the Houston Astros. His mother, father, wife, kids and half of the town that Andy grew up in showed up for such a marvelous feat, knowing this chapter was about to close and another chapter was about to open: Retirement (Part 2).
It seems fitting Pettitte finished the game on the mound in Houston, a place that's near and dear to his heart, and it's also fitting that he finished his career on a team that he won five World Series Championships with. When Pettitte stepped off the mound after the complete game, everything changed. The Yankees will never have Andy on the mound again, he won't prepare for another start against a team that he knows he has the wits to defeat, he won't be there popping champagne when the Yankees clinch another division, he won't be there on the field running to the middle of the mound when the Yankees win another World Series Championship. Pettitte knows what retirement holds for him, even telling his buddy Mariano Rivera that he was going to love retirement. There's no one that could be a better teammate than #46. He guided the way the month of September, he returned to vintage Pettitte, and as quickly as vintage Pettitte came–he left. And this time, he isn't coming back.

WikiLeaks has said it is planning to release information seven times bigger than its Iraq War Logs.
It told its Twitter followers: "Next release is 7x the size of the Iraq War Logs. Intense pressure over it for months," although it did not detail what these documents would entail.
It updated its feed this morning, claiming: "The coming months will see a new world, where global history is redefined."
It also asked its followers to continue donating to the cause and urged them to "Keep us strong," as it works to put out the new information.
The group made headlines earlier this year when it released classified US war documents about actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Iraq War Logs and Afghan War Diary made people sit up and notice, especially the US government, which WikiLeaks claims has harassed the group.
Julian Assange was last week called back to Sweden by the District Court in Stockholm "on probable cause suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion."
An attorney for Assange said he had been falsely accused and that the original prosecutor, Eva Finne, dismissed the investigation. He said the case was raised again after intervention by a Swedish politician.

WinRAR 4
WinRAR est un utilitaire de compression et de décompression de données capable de créer des archives avec l'extension RAR et ZIP et d'extraire des archives aux formats CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z et Z. Il créé constamment de plus petites archives plus rapidement que le programme du concours ce qui économise l'espace disque et les coűts de transmission.
WinRAR offre une interface graphique interactive en utilisant la souris et des menus ainsi que l'interface ligne de commande. WinRAR est plus facile ŕ utiliser que de nombreux autres gestionnaires d'archives grâce ŕ l'intégration d'une commande "Assistant" qui permet d'accéder instantanément aux fonctions d'archivage basiques ŕ travers une simple procédure de questions et de réponses.
WinRAR vous offre la puissance du nouvel algorythme de cryptage des archives utilisant AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) avec une clé de 128 bits. Il prend en charge des fichiers et des archives dont la taille peut atteindre jusqu'ŕ 8589 milliards de giga-octets. Il offre également la possibilité de créer des archives multi-volumes et auto-extractibles. Grâce ŕ la restauration de registre et de volumes, vous pouvez reconstituer les archives, męme celles physiquement endommagées.
* RAR decompression speed is improved. Depending on data type, decompression can be up to 30% faster than in previous versions.
Both the general RAR algorithm and most of special RAR multimedia methods benefit from this improvement. The only module of RAR algorithm, which is not affected, is "Text compression" method.
* Changes in ISO support:
- UDF support is upgraded to UDF 2.50 revision. It makes possible to unpack most of Blu-ray ISO files;
- when browsing UDF ISO file, UDF revision number is displayed after the "UDF" format name in WinRAR address bar and in archive information dialog;
- WinRAR sets the folder modification date when unpacking folders stored in UDF and ISO9660 files.
* Changes in password dialog:
- WinRAR uses the same format of password dialog both when archiving and extracting, so "Show password" option is available also when extracting;
- "Organize passwords..." button in password dialog provides access to password organizer interface, where you can specify your frequently used passwords. You will be able to access these saved passwords using the drop down list or autocomplete feature in password dialog.
It is important to know that saved passwords are not encrypted and anybody having access to your computer can view them. Use "Organize passwords" feature only if your computer is protected from unauthorized access;
- "Use for all archives" option is available in password dialog when unpacking several archives at once. You can utilize it to apply an entered password to all archives.
If you use this option with an empty password, WinRAR will skip all encrypted archives;
- Unlike previous versions, the password from default compression profile is not used for extraction.
If you wish to use the same password for all extracting archives, press "Organize passwords..." button in the password dialog and define a new password entry, specifying "*" file mask in "Select for archives" field.
* In Windows 7 WinRAR will display the total operation progress also on WinRAR icon on Windows taskbar. You can disable it using "Taskbar progress bar" option on "General" page of WinRAR settings.
* Numerous Unicode support improvements allow to process non-English file names more smoothly. These improvements include:
- better Unicode handling in WinRAR in "Rename", "Convert", "Find" and other commands, in folder tree panel, in password request dialog and in many other parts of WinRAR interface;
- correctly displayed Unicode names in WinRAR items in Explorer context menus;
- Unicode support in .lng files, making WinRAR localization possible for Unicode only languages.
* Changes in -x switch syntax. Now you can specify a wildcard exclusion mask for folders. Such mask must have the trailing '\' character, like -x*tmp*\ or -x*\temp\
* New "Extract relative paths" option in "Advanced" part of extraction dialog. If you browse some archive subfolder in WinRAR shell and enable "Extract relative paths" option, the path part up to and including the current subfolder will be removed from extracted file paths.
For example, if you are inside of "Backup\MyData" archive folder and extract "Images" folder, it will be extracted as "Images", not as "Backup\MyData\Images".
This option is the new default extraction mode, but you can change the default back to WinRAR 3.x style. Just select "Extract full paths" and then press "Save settings" in "General" part of extraction dialog.
* Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows NT are not supported by WinRAR and WinRAR self-extracting modules anymore. Minimum Windows version required for WinRAR 4.0 is Windows 2000.
If you need to run WinRAR on older Windows, you can download previous WinRAR versions from ftp://ftp.rarlab.com/rar
* If TAR, TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 archive contains symbolic or hard links and if destination file system is NTFS, WinRAR will create these links when unpacking such archive. WinRAR will create symbolic links as symbolic and hard links as hard in Windows Vista and newer and it will create all links as hard in older Windows.
If destination file system is FAT32 or any other not supporting file links, WinRAR will skip links when unpacking TAR, TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 archives.
* Recovery volume processing involves less disk seek operations resulting in higher performance.
* You can select Windows 7 library in tree panel in extraction dialog and WinRAR will use its default save location as the destination path.
* "Report" command allows to select HTML, Unicode text and usual text as output format for report file. Unlike previous WinRAR versions, now WinRAR preservers Unicode characters in reports when using HTML or Unicode text format. So non-English characters in file names will be displayed properly in such reports.
* Message list in GUI SFX archives displays only operation status and error messages. It does not contain names of all extracted files anymore. This change improves the speed and reduces memory requirements for SFX archives containing a large number of files. Also it makes easier to locate error messages, because they are not hidden among extracted file names.
* GUI SFX archives display "Extract" button instead of "Install" if no "Setup" or "Presetup" commands are present in the archive comment. If you prefer "Install" button, but do not need to execute any setup programs, you can add "Setup=<>" command.
* WinRAR displays the current percent above the operation progress bar when repairing an archive containing the recovery record and when processing recovery volumes.
* WinRAR limits the maximum possible volume size to 4 GB minus 1 byte when creating RAR volumes on a disk with FAT or FAT32 file system in volume size autodetecting mode. These file systems do not support 4 GB and larger files.
* If "Wait if other WinRAR copies are active" option is enabled and WinRAR waits for another copy, you can press "Continue" button in command progress window to force WinRAR to stop waiting. So now "Continue" button allows to override the state of "Wait if other WinRAR copies are active" option for current operation.
* WinRAR displays one password request instead of two, when saving an encrypted file back to RAR or ZIP archive after modifying it in some external editor. Previous WinRAR versions usually requested the password twice, both when extracting the original file and archiving its modified copy. Only RAR archives with encrypted file names were processed with the single password prompt.
* New error code 10 ("no files") is added to list of error codes returned in command line mode by RAR and WinRAR. This new code can be returned by archive, extract, delete and repair commands. It means that RAR did not find any files matched the specified file or archive mask.
* File name area in file overwrite dialog occupies several lines now. It makes possible to display much longer names.
* Now switch -ep3 converts not only disk letters, but also UNC paths. So \\server\share will be converted to __server\share when archiving and restored to the original \\server\share when extracting with -ep3.
* New "Background extraction" option in "Advanced" part of extraction dialog places WinRAR into background, when extracting files. You can save its default state with "Save settings" button in "General" part of extraction dialog, just like for other extraction options.
"Background archiving" option from the default compression profile does not affect the extraction behavior anymore.
* "Mode..." button in operation progress window is enabled also when extracting or testing archives. It provides access to "Command parameters" dialog, where you can set "Turn PC off when done" option for extraction and test operations.
Previously this dialog was accessible only when archiving.
* Bugs fixed:
- renaming a file in archive could also rename all other files with the same name in other folders of the same archive;
- previous versions displayed the wrong total packed size in "Info" command for multivolume CAB archives;
- in ZIP archives 'U' (update) and 'F' (fresh) commands could erroneously update even files not specified in the command line. It happened only for files in current folder which names matched files in ZIP archive. This bug was not present in usual 'A' (add) archiving mode.

The United Mexican States (Yes, that is it's real name, not Republic of Mexico, etc.) has a very strict voter identification system. There is one and only one voter identification card. There is no voting without it. And it is used as the defacto national identification card. And if a person fails to renew or obtain a card, there is no "amnesty" for the lazy and indolent. (h/t Stein Report)
USA Today by David Agren January 29, 2012MEXICO CITY – Office worker Ana Martínez lined up at 7 a.m. on a recent Sunday to renew her voter credential, a document required at a polling station to vote.But voting was not the main reason she was getting it. The free photo ID issued by the Federal Electoral Institute had become the accepted way to prove one's identity — and is a one-card way to open a bank account, board an airplane and buy beer.Voting was almost an afterthought to Martínez."They ask for it everywhere," she said. "It's very difficult to live without it."
But the Mexican government demands personal responsiblity from its citizens as well:
Though some U.S. states allow people to vote without IDs, Mexico makes no exceptions for individuals lacking the proper documents. The Federal Electoral Institute also refused to extend the registration period or grant an amnesty for those applying late, leaving more than a million people ineligible to vote.
"It is a matter that has to do with a culture of respect for the law," Francisco Guerrero, one of the nine commissioners on the institute, told the newspaper Reforma.The agency makes no apologies for the tough rules or requiring photo identifications, given Mexico's history of troubled elections. "We started from such a point of distrust, especially in the electoral system," institute commissioner María Marván said."In order to strengthen democracy, we have to start believing in our own institutions. That's a big challenge in Mexico."
Personal responsibility, mandatory identification, and, more importantly, no amnesty. No amnesty for its citizens at home, but the government of Mexico demands it of us?

yesterday's volley of news about The Beatles' rhythm game, Variety has a few new details. According to the publication, who spoke with Apple Corps CEO Jeff Jones, Harmonix can select 45 songs from The Beatles' 1962 to 1969 EMI catalog. Apologies to all who were dying for a cameo from The Quarrymen. Ladies and gentlemen, you now have a number. It's time to start making those "confirmed track lists" you all are so fond of sending us.
Giles Martin, who served as music director to Cirque du Soleil's Beatles Love alongside father and Beatles producer George Martin, will oversee the game's music. Still no word on whether the original recordings will be remastered or not. Additionally, Sony/ATV Music Publishing CEO Martin Brandier told Variety that the deal was -- shocker -- unprecedentedly expensive. "We signed a deal that would be considered very rich by the videogame company but fair for the artists," he said. "It will have online implications that will be enormous."

The actions of Corporation Sole in the reappointment of the First Citizens board could only be commended. It could be said it acted in the best interest of the country.
One could look at the actions with regard to the Caribbean Airlines board and this incident to recogŁnise proper governance is high on the agenda with this GovernŁment.
People may criticise, but they have to be cognisant of the fact you can appoint people but you cannot micromanage their every move.
What is refreshing about this Government is it is willing to own up to its mistakes and make attempts to remedy them immediately.
That is in stark contrast with what maintained before, where people like Calder Hart were ensconced in their positions no matter what they did. It is a challenge, but they are living the mantra ōdo the right thing because it is the right thing to do!ö

Using flavored butter can add a little gourmet touch to any meal. Did you know it takes 21 pounds of fresh, wholesome cow's milk to make each pound of butter?
Melting at just below body temperature, butter has a luscious mouth feel that imparts a rich, creamy taste to everything it touches.
Just imagine warm bread spread with butter, velvety mashed potatoes, or rich butter cookies. Just a little butter adds flavor to everything from pancakes, vegetables, and sauces to even a great grilled steak.
Butter is the perfect vehicle for spreading flavor around, which is why flavored butter (also known as compound butters) are popular.
Flavored Butter – The Margarine Substitution
Starting with butter that's at room temperature, it's pretty easy to mix in any flavorful herbs, spices, cheeses, wine reductions, and stocks…just put the butter in a bowl with the flavorings, and mix it together with a wooden spoon.
The resulting compound butter can be used to spread on bread, as a topping on a dish, or to place over meats and vegetables.
I know when you see or eat a flavored butter, it's usually melting over the top of a filet mignon. Seriously, it's a tasty "secret sauce" type of partner to potatoes or vegetables or warm rolls from the oven. I'm willing to venture a guess that a lot of you may not have thought of using it for side dishes.
I played around with it on a number of recipes and decided it's a little extra something that makes people think you're some sort of gourmet chef. The recipes I'm providing below can be made by using butter or margarine.
Mustard Flavored Butter
- 3 tablespoons Parsley chopped
- 3 teaspoons prepared Mustard
- 2/3 teaspoon Oregano
- 1/2 cup softened Butter
French Seasoned Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Chives, snipped
- 1/2 teaspoon Tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon minced Shallot
- 1/2 cup softened Butter
Italian Flavored Butter
- 1 tablespoon Basil
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1 tablespoon Thyme
- 1/2 cup softened Butter
Corn or Potato Butter Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon Marjoram
- 1/2 cup softened Butter
How Long Can I Keep Flavored Butter?
Since you've gone through the extra effort to make it, here are some tips for keeping it:
- Store it in a covered plastic container in your refrigerator for a couple of days after making it to give your seasoning time to develop
- If you use UNSALTED butter, it won't keep as long as the SALTED version
- The flavored butter will last about a MONTH in your refrigerator and will get more flavorful over time
- It will last up to 3 months in your freezer
- Use them in side dishes, on vegetables, when you saute or on bread

My Mom Is DyingMy mom had breast cancer 5 years ago, had a mesecotmy and they took out her glands under her arm as it was in a couple of them, Now last year around Thanksgiving they told her it was back and she had stage 4. It went into her breastbone tissue so they gave her Chemo to shut it down, Well its not working it came back harder and now its on the outside and going into her lung and the lymps in her chest. They are now giving her 3 to 6 months to live. I am doing all I can to help but its hard when you have a family and live 3 hours away. I do have my dad but he is having a hard time as he is 76. I love her and hate seeing her in pain. I talk to her everyday and will go over towards the end.
My story is quite similar to yours.

My Mum first had breast cancer many years ago when she was 29. She had a mastectomy and lymph nodes removed. She got cancer in her other breast a few years ago, she's now 49. Mum was told in January of 2010 that she would not survive the rest of the month, but it's been over a year and she's still alive.

I'm grateful for the extra time I've had with her, but at the same time I'm saddened because for a whole year the cancer has spread and gotten worse and now she is incredible pain. She is on morphine but it doesn't always help the pain of the cancer in her bones.

It's such a horrid thing to have to watch - your Mum go through so much pain and suffering. I think it makes us stronger, though. That is good that you speak with your Mum every day. How is she doing now? I wish you all the best.

Soil conservation: Contour ploughing, Grenada
Natural disasters in particular the recurrent hurricane seasons seriously impact its agricultural sector, to which the island's economic fortunes are historically linked. The island's vulnerability is further aggravated by its mountainous terrain: over 50 percent of the lands are over 20 degrees, and only 6 percent of the lands are considered flat. One of the local agricultural practices to mitigate the negative consequences of hazards is contour ploughing. Crop row ridges are built by tilling and/or planting on the contour creating hundreds of small dams. These ridges or dams slow water flow, increase infiltration and reduce erosion. Contour ploughing is a highly cost effective and sustainable practice.

Key elements - CanNET
CanNET is a health services model that ensures better access to quality cancer care, and improves cancer outcomes, particularly for people in regional and rural areas.
CanNET involves the development of processes and systems to effectively link health care providers in different regions and organisations into single cancer service networks, enabling them to work in a coordinated manner to deliver evidence-based cancer care. It will improve cancer outcomes by ensuring that care is focused on the needs of people affected by cancer, and by enabling more people affected by cancer to access evidence-based treatment and support services closer to home.
Key elements
The CanNET model (PDF 263KB) is based on several key elements:
- active consumer engagement;
- agreed referral pathways, multidisciplinary care and primary care involvement;
- clinical leadership;
- continuing professional development;
- quality assurance; and
- role redesign.
Improved cancer outcomes occur when these key elements are combined with person-centred care, equitable access, better coordinated cancer services and the best available evidence for practice.
A cancer service network provides a platform for consumers and clinicians to work in partnership to narrow the gap between current evidence and practice.
Needs-based approach
People with cancer and their families want the best possible care as close to home as practicable. In recognition of this, CanNET is underpinned by a 'needs-based approach to the delivery of services' (PDF 36KB), as illustrated in this diagram. This approach identifies three distinct groups of people affected by cancer, based on their treatment and care needs:
1. People who can be diagnosed, assessed and treated locally.
2. People who require assessment elsewhere but who may be able to receive part or all of their ongoing treatment locally.
3. People who need to be diagnosed elsewhere and whose complex care needs and/or multi-modal treatment requirements necessitate ongoing treatment provided by a major cancer service, away from where they live.
Services need to be designed to respond appropriately to the needs of each of these groups. CanNET will support state and territory governments to undertake the service reforms necessary to ensure the most efficient use of current services, and to plan appropriately for increasing demand.
Evidence for the CanNET model
The CanNET program was developed through extensive consultation and careful examination of overseas models and experience. A cancer service network has the potential to provide accessible, coordinated and responsive cancer services to all Australians wherever they live.

Adventure loving Alice to travel India in a 'glorified lawnmower'
It will be crazy, sometimes dangerous, often uncomfortable, but also a whole lot of fun.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Never one to shy away from an adventure, former ABC Rural Reporter Alice Plate is about to embark on her next challenge.
Alice and partner Alistair Stewart will drive a 145cc, seven horsepower, three-wheeled, giraffe-print Rickshaw named Felix, 2500 kilometres from the north to the south of India, taking part in the infamous Rickshaw Run.
"We're basically jumping in a glorified lawnmower," Alice said.
"It's going to be chaotic, smelly and busy so I think the traffic will be one of the biggest challenges, the potholes and things like that."
While it probably seems like a mad idea to most, it ticks a lot of boxes for the adventure-loving couple.
"I think we just want to mix it up a bit - challenge life, it gets a bit boring sometimes and we get stuck in ruts," Alice said.
"On a personal note, my Dad died last year and he was pretty unorthodox and very adventurous and loved cars so this is really a tribute to him, doing something a bit silly - he'd probably call it stupid."
Alistair says he had little choice but to come along for the ride.
"I got dragged into it by Alice - she said, I'm going and you have to fix the car as it breaks down... which it will," he said.
"I'm expecting an uncomfortable ride, a poky little vehicle that's not weather-proof at all and a whole lot of other fun stuff around us."
The 70-odd participants in the Rickshaw Run will start in freezing conditions south west of Delhi at Jaisalmer on new year's day and end at tropical Cochin in the south about two weeks later.
Alice says she's not expecting it to be easy.
"They're meant to be these rickshaws designed to go around town but we're taking them 2500km so I'm pretty sure we're going to get some pretty shabby looking ones that haven't been treated very well in the past," she said.
"I've talked to people who have taken part in this in the past and they said their muffler fell off twice, their roof rack fell off and their stereo stopped working on the second day."
There's no doubt their mechanical knowledge will be put to the test and they've been advised to prepare a few things before they leave.
"We've got a big long list of things to take, we've got a tow rope, a carburettor, spark plugs - apparently we run through them, there's dirty fuel," Alice said.
"We don't have any roadside assistance, there's no planned route, there's no accommodation organised and we've got no food that guarantees we're not going to get sick.
"Basically, you're on your own, good luck and see you at the finish line in two weeks."
While the trip will be about personal discovery and adventure, they also want to make a difference to the world.
Alistair and Alice are aiming to raise about $10,000 and are already halfway to their target.
The money will cover their costs to enter the challenge, raise money for the Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin and also an Indian conservation charity.

• Mother 3
developed by HAL, BrownieBrown/published by Nintendo
1 player/2 save slots/GameBoy Advance/2006.04.26
Each year dozens of Japanese games are passed over for release outside of the land of the rising sun, much to the chagrin of gamers around the world. One of the most egregious cases is that of Mother 3, the third game in a series created by acclaimed writer Shigesato Itoi with Nintendo. The first game had been created for the original 8-bit Nintendo Famicom, the sequel (known as Earthbound in the West) was released on the Super Nintendo, and the third game was due to be released on the Nintendo64. However, due to the game being designed specifically for the ill-fated 64DD drive, the development was eventually scrapped. It wasn't until years later, and after much encouragement, that Itoi decided to try to tell the story again; it would have to built from scratch for the GameBoy Advance.
The Mother series (which owes its name to the John Lennon song) is a role-playing game that is essentially a copy of Dragon Quest, which inspired Itoi to create the games. However, instead of taking place in a medieval fantasy setting, Itoi decided to set the game in semi-modern times based on his unique perception of 1950s America. The games are known for their humor, unusually good characterization, and moving story as well as for their distinct, simplistic art style and quirky soundtracks.
Fandom & English Translation
Due to the popularity of Earthbound a rabid fan base was soon clamoring for Mother 3 to receive its rightful English translation. A large petition was organized, including mail and phone-in campaigns. A book collecting fan artwork, a cd with music remixes, and stories was professionally assembled and sent to Nintendo and the press in an attempt to garner some attention to the plight of the fans. Despite their best efforts Nintendo of America had clearly passed on it, and when another publisher (Atlus) tried to license it, Nintendo wouldn't let them.
That was the final straw, and the fans decided they would have to take matters into their own hands and translate the game themselves. Two years later, a 100% English translation patch was made available through the Earthbound fan site Starmen.net, which sought to translate the game as authentically and professionally as possible. Having played through their translation, I can assure you the project was a complete success.
The peaceful lives of Nowhere Island's inhabitants is soon disrupted by an army of pig-masked soldiers who delight in setting fires and blowing things up in the first phase of an outright invasion. While most of the locals get taken in by the army's clever deceptions, a small group of heroes fight to uncover what the army is up to. Peaceful animals are becoming aggressive and some of them have been modified into semi-mechanical Chimeras, and homes are being destroyed by repeated lightning strikes. There's much more to the story than that, and going into detail (even as much I as already have) would only ruin the many surprises that lie in store. The game presents a thought-provoking message in how the world is visibly transformed, and despite its humor there is an ever-present sadness that pervades throughout.
BrownieBrown, a talented group of ex-Squaresoft employees, did all of the game's artwork in a style similar to (but more refined than) Earthbound. It has a very simplistic cartoony style, but is so consistent and is so well animated that its detail will surprise you. Unfortunately, the monsters aren't animated during battle scenes, but they at least feature the same sort of trippy psychedelic backgrounds that subtly match the creatures you're fighting. Thankfully, like Dragon Quest the monsters are well designed and comical enough to be entertaining even as still images.
The music is also very good, especially for a GameBoy Advance title. The GameBoy Advance has an inferior soundchip to the Super Nintendo, but you wouldn't know it from listening to this game's many songs. The many battle theme songs keep things fresh, and the overall mood of the game is enhanced by the happy and sorrowful compositions that accompany each area and scene.
Battle System
One of the pleasures of Mother 3 is its battle system, which owes much to the Dragon Quest formula, but some key innovations help to smooth out some of the wrinkles. To begin with there are no random encounters: you can see enemies on the field and you can avoid them by running around them. If you connect with an enemy from behind, you will gain a slight advantage by surprising them (and vice-versa). And when you are much stronger than an enemy, you don't have to fight them at all by simply steamrolling right through them.
Another nice feature of battles is the rolling life meter, which drains slowly as opposed to instantly when a character is attacked. Even if a character has been dealt a mortal blow, if you manage to heal them before their life is completely drained they'll stay in the fight. These are details that have rolled over from the previous games.
New to Mother 3 is a rhythm combo system which gives the game some added interactivity. There are several battle theme songs, and each one has its own rhythm. When attacking you can press the "A" button in time with the music to string together up to 16 hit combos for added damage. If you manage to put an enemy to sleep, you'll be able to hear its heartbeat which amplifies the beat, making it easier to keep the rhythm. It can be surprisingly tricky to pull off, as sometimes the beat changes mid-song, but it's a fun diversion during battles.
From the development hell experienced on the N64 to the astoundingly stupid decision to not release it outside of Japan, Mother 3 has seen more than its fair share of problems. Thanks to the determination and hard work of its fans, it finally has the English translation that it deserves. Put simply, this game is a masterpiece of storytelling. It sucked me in completely for all of its 20 or so hours, constantly surprising me with its originality, its humor, and its humanity. I had to stop myself from playing for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time. While Shigesato Itoi has said he has no plans of making another game in the series, one can only hope his boundless creativity betrays him. You can find the translation patch for the game here, but due to the illegality of ROMs I am unable to point you in its direction. I recommend playing it on the VisualBoy Advance emulator.
Quick Run Down
- Spellbinding story & characters
- Excellent presentation
- Unique rhythm combo battle system
- Not too short or too long (20~25 hours)
- Balanced difficulty
- Limited inventory space is annoying
- Game play could be considered "too traditional"
One Sentence Review: An excellent fan translation gives English gamers the chance to experience the closing chapter on one of Japan's most beloved video games.
One Word Review: Bittersweet.
Points of Interest: Lucas, one of the game's characters, appears in the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

This is very interesting. I played around with it and learned some things. Basically, you are trying to kill or replace the function by altering the HTML tags that defined it. This doesn't work, unless you change the src property to something different (I think) Look at this code and play with the buttons and you will see what I mean. The javascript functions defined within the script tags persist even when the code in the script tags which defined them are purged from the document.
