Blessed mission in a bottle for Sierra Nevada
The Brew
Updated 3:19 pm, Saturday, December 22, 2012
Vina, --
Tehama County - At this time of year, it's worth thinking of the Trappists. A strict order of Roman Catholics, they follow the rule of their patron St. Benedict, who believed the cloisters should be self-sufficient through their own industry - which, traditionally, includes making beer and wine.
That's what brought Scott Jennings, head brewer for research and development at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., to venture to Belgium. A trim, redheaded former ski bum who grins easily and thinks a lot of things are "rad," Jennings turns very serious when he talks about this research trip.

"We were at Orval, and we were walking through this monastery. These beautiful springs were coming out of the ground, the monks are there, and you could feel the history. I've never been so inspired in my entire life."
The Orval monastery is one of the six Trappist abbeys in Belgium famous for its beer. Like other Trappist monasteries, they sell beer to a public that can't get enough. Westvleteran XII, for instance, considered by some to be the best beer in the world, was until this December only available for purchase at the St. Sixtus Abbey itself.
Jennings' trip led to one of Sierra Nevada's most unusual projects: the Ovila Abbey beers, an effort to match the free spirit of California craft brewing with the solemnity of the Trappists.
Up the highway from Sierra Nevada's headquarters in Chico is the Abbey of New Clairvaux - a Cistercian, or Trappist, monastery located in the hamlet of Vina. In the 1990s, the abbot approached Sierra Nevada for donations to help rebuild a 16th century monastery on its grounds.
Quirky history
The project had an unusual history. The ruined monastery, called the Santa Maria de Ovila, was a Trappist abbey originally located in Spain and purchased by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst in the 1930s. (The Chronicle is owned by the Hearst Corp.)
Hearst shipped it back in parts to the United States to use in a grand estate that he hoped would rival San Simeon, but the stones were never used. In 1994, the Abbey of New Clairvaux obtained the ruins and began raising money for its restoration.
Sierra Nevada founder and owner Ken Grossman suggested that the monks and the brewery do a beer project together and donate a portion of proceeds to the building project. New Clairvaux already produced well-regarded wines from its vineyards.
To prepare for the project, Jennings and Sierra Nevada's head brewer, Steve Dresler, went to five Belgian monasteries with New Clairvaux's then-abbott, Father Thomas X. Davis. The monk helped secure entry to the monasteries, access that ordinary beer tourists don't get.
"While we're geeking out on beer, taking pictures of the lauter tuns, Father Thomas would go off for meetings and prayer. For him it was a spiritual trip," Dresler says. "But I guess for us it was, too."
When they returned, Jennings and Dresler created four new beers in classic Belgian styles - a dubbel, saison, quad and golden ale. Because of the number of controls and equipment needed for brewing, Sierra Nevada ended up brewing the beer itself, with the monks giving their blessings rather than chipping in. Sierra Nevada called the beers Ovila in homage to the once-ruined monastery.
Sierra Nevada is traditionally known for hop-forward flavor, and these less hoppy, yeast-driven styles proved challenging.
The brewers spent a lot of time on the saison, for instance, a style characterized by aromatic, spicy yeast, trying to find just the right culture. They finally found it in an unlikely spot: a bottle of homebrew from a friend who had cultured his yeast from a small Belgian farmhouse beer whose yeast strain isn't available to commercial brewers.
The Ovila Saison is earthy, spicy and extremely dry. The other beers, too, are rich in body, with layers of aroma and flavor but with a very dry finish that keeps them from being cloying.
"Belgian beers need to be appetizing and really drinkable. They need to not fill you up," Jennings says.
Very small amounts of the quad and the dubbel were aged in brandy and red wine barrels, respectively, producing even richer and more interesting versions of the beers. The barrel-aged versions can be purchased only at the brewery.
At the abbey, the beer is consumed at Sunday dinners and special events.
"The monks love the beer. People are sometimes surprised that monks drink," says Father Paul Mark Schwan, the abbot of New Clairvaux, who succeeded Davis in 2009. "But St. Benedict believed in moderation. There's no sin in alcohol, just its abuse."
The first four Ovila abbey beers were not as successful as either Sierra Nevada or the Abbey of New Clairvaux had hoped. Dresler says that the label, which featured the name "Ovila" in big letters and Sierra Nevada in fine print, may have confused people.
The next beers in the series, due out next year, will be rebranded with a larger Sierra tie-in. They will be a quad made with dried plums, and a saison brewed with mandarin oranges and white pepper. The fruit comes from New Clairvaux's orchards.
A new strategy
These beers are part of a new approach from Sierra Nevada, which has grown into one of the nation's largest craft brewers. Over the past few years, it has moved from being a relatively conservative company that stuck by its flagship brands to now branching out into more - and different - styles and projects. In the summer, it will open a new production brewery in Asheville, N.C., run by Jennings.
Both brewers see the expansion and experimentation as part of a sea change.
"People usually think of us as an American ale brewer with hop-fronted beers," Dresler says. "These beers are so amazingly out of character for us."
Perhaps most amazing of all: After 30 years as head brewer at one of the world's most respected craft breweries, Dresler finally got to go to Belgium.

From Belgium to Chico
The four beers made by Sierra Nevada in Chico (Butte County), in partnership with the Abbey of New Clairvaux, include the following. All come in 25-ounce bottles.
2012 Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey Dubbel ($12; 7.5% alcohol): A mid-strength ale; auburn-colored, with molasses and toasted malt flavor; sweet, but finishes dry.
2012 Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey Saison ($19; 7%): This farmhouse-style ale shows a lemony color, plus grassy earth, citrus and pepper.
2012 Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey Quad ($10; 10.4%): Quads are strong, dark ales; this has sweet, dark caramel malts, raisins and dates; dry finish
2012 Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey Golden Ale ($12; 8.5%): Golden orange, spicy yeast, creamy carbonation, lemon and pear, cider-y finish.

Key resources
The Strong men project aimed to provide training and opportunity for young men from the Wadeye community to explore their cultural and sporting talents in the hope of making a difference.
The young men were relocated to Bright in north eastern Victoria for seven months of the year (football season). They were mentored in education, work part time in the area of tourism and are supported in developing their literacy, life skills, personal health, fitness and strengthening of their cultural identity.
The program worked in conjunction with the Essendon Football Club and the Australian Football League to provide opportunities for the young men to succeed. Under the guidance of the Essendon Football club, the young men visited the club regularly and participated in health and fitness programs, nutrition education and skills training.
The Red Dust Role Model organisation also worked closely with the young men in preparation for their development as Red Dust Role Models assisting in the delivery of the program in Wadeye.
Each participant was required to meet strict criteria (linked to school attendance and cultural knowledge) for entry into the program, as well as maintain high levels of fitness and avoid drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. They were responsible for attending classes, being at work on time, paying rent, meeting fitness requirements, following a health and nutrition plan and meeting all educational and work related expectations. It was also crucial for participants to share their culture within schools in the area.

Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro said today that Siena has agreed on a two-year contract with Navy that completes next season's schedule.
The Midshipmen will face the Saints at Times Union Center on Nov. 16, which could be the opener, Buonaguro said. This will be the first time the programs have met.
"It's a classy school," Buonaguro said. "Playing a service academy for Siena is great. Our school makes a concerted effort in admissions to go down to Maryland (where Navy is located) to get students, so this game gives us some notoriety down there. (New Navy coach) Ed DeChellis is a classy guy."
DeChellis surprised observers by resigning from Penn State, which he guided to the NCAA Tournament, to take the Navy job.
The Midshipmen went 11-20 last season, including 6-8 in the Patriot League.
Siena will return the game to Annapolis during the 2012-13 season.
The Saints now have the maximum 29 opponents for next season – including 18 MAAC contests – although some dates have to be worked out.
Here's the 11-game non-league schedule for next season:
St. Bonaventure
BracketBusters (opponent TBA)
Florida Atlantic
Georgia Tech
Mount St. Mary's
UMass (at MassMutual Center, Springfield, Mass.)
*The UMass game is a four-year contract with the Minutemen coming to Times Union Center in the 2012-13 season.
"I think it's going to be very difficult," Buonaguro said. "Three Atlantic 10 schools (UMass, St. Bonaventure and Fordham), an ACC school (Georgia Tech) and two of the better teams in th America East with Vermont and Albany."

Ameobi thrilled to return
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Shola Ameobi was thrilled to make his Newcastle United comeback against Reading on Monday.
Ameobi had not featured for The Magpies since last November after undergoing surgery on a career-threatening hip injury.
The 25-year-old was naturally delighted to be back on the pitch, but was saddened by Newcastle slipping to another away defeat.
Ameobi is now hoping to help Newcastle claim back-to-back wins from their remaining games against Blackburn and Watford.
"I've managed to play half an hour and it's a mix of emotions," he told The Evening Chronicle.
"To be honest, I'm delighted that I've even managed to get in one appearance in this season. But it's another away loss for us and they've come along far too often this season.
"We've lost many games we should have got something out of, and that's something we're going to have to sort out.
"But for me it's fantastic to be back. It's so difficult when you're on the sidelines. You want to help the team, but you're not physically able to.
"Hopefully, I can now do my bit, even though there's only two games left, and help us get a couple of victories."

It's not the best interpretation of Robin Cook's novel of the same name, and it likely won't be the last, but it's also fair to say that the two-part miniseries Coma, produced by Ridley Scott and the late Tony Scott, is neither the best nor worst of the adaptations. Even though the story shoots itself in the foot by throwing in unnecessary conflicts to keep things "thrilling", it's never short on talent like Richard Dreyfuss, Geena Davis, or James Woods to help pad out a weak leading lady in Lauren Ambrose. If you can overlook a few glaring plotholes and oversights, Coma holds itself together just long enough to make it to the ending, but the twist broadcasts itself far sooner than it needs to (unlike many of its predecessors).
New legacy medical student Susan Wheeler (Ambrose) gets her surgical rotation off to a rough start after being resuscitated by her instructor (Steven Pasquale) in a swimming accident and investigating inexplicable occurrences where anesthetized patients slip into comas after undergoing standard surgical procedures. Her questions begin raising red flags within the faculty, with some (Davis) calling for her expulsion and others (Woods) push her onwards to find the truth. What Susan finds leads her to a special care facility for coma patients, headed by the creepy Mrs. Emerson (Ellen Burstyn), which might have a hidden agenda at its heart.
Amidst all this, Michael Weston plays a crazed psychotic stalking Susan and whose only reason for existence is to add tension to the first two-thirds of the second half of the mini-series so Susan's investigation into the coma clinic's secrets isn't just a girl looking through files. This represents one of the many poor choices made simply to enhance dramatic effect but which ultimately only make the audience shake their head in bafflement. The fate of James Woods's character is a similar example of absurdity for the sake of drama, and, while an interesting concept, it's impossible that so few people would fail to notice the blindingly obvious circumstances that lead up to it and it takes the viewer right out of the story.

Movie Review: Colombiana
Prinz Lee wrote this review 6 years and 4 months ago
Perros and Perras, I'd like to start this review by saying there's no question Zoë Saldana is Hollywood's latest sizzling Latina star! Action-based all the way, flawless in looks and edgy to a core within anyone's comprehension…this woman BURIED J-Lo, Selma Hayek, Judy Reyes etc. Yes, I know, perhaps those I've mentioned weren't intended to be action-based stars, but in a world where half (or most) contemporary moviegoers only care about action, violence and sex-appeal…when it comes to having the kick-ass "it factor," Zoë stands out in every way imaginable!
So with a string of films where she stands out as usual and kicking this in the face, shooting that one in the chest and even going intergalactic as a Na'Vi…do you dare to think Colombiana would have been any different? Hell no! Unrealistic to the max, but it's a film to have fun with and it gives me great pleasure to say this woman provides us with an amazing acrobatic performance that makes this entire overkill action flick watchable, dare I say entirely fun and enjoyable.
Damn! One knows they're in for one hell of a joy-ride when a film's opening scene displays a sweet, little, frail-looking 9-y/o girl jigging a drug lord in the hand with a huge knife, then leaping out the window to execute a series of stunts throughout the cesspools of Bogotá, Colombia until arriving at the U.S. Embassy! And if that shit doesn't get to you, than hold off for the next action-based sequence, where she makes her way to Chicago to find her uncle going medieval on someone, after which he tries to provide her with serious life lessons by firing a Colt .45 at random victims—a la DC Sniper—across the street from an elementary school…
What's that? What? Back story? Ah—screw back story! The origins of this almost would-be perfect X-Men character is meant to define how Cataleya (Saldana) was so traumatized by her parents' deaths at the hands of a Colombian kingpin that, 15 years after, she has become a one chick assassination machine with full intent on taking out the cartel as a whole.
Running somewhat parallel to all the action jammed in this film happens to be the all too familiar sex-appeal that's always displayed. This woman is hot! Whether looking angry or simply charming, one stays focused on this woman's appearance. The aura in which she carries from one scene to the next is simply there and provides the viewer a chance to enjoy her from another angle, rather than your stereotypical "angry Latina bitch."
Colombiana comes with all sorts of goodies, folks! It has all the action anyone seeking a thrill-ride can want, it has interesting and cryptic characters, it has its own charm when exposing Saldana's vulnerable character along side a Chicago FBI Agent and without question, it's not just because of Saldana why this film is the way it is, much credit and respect needs to be given to Writer, Robert Mark Kaman—the brains behind flawless action films like Taken and all those little films which led to a franchise known as Transporter. Mix his talents with another Transporter veteran, Director, Olivier Megaton…and you have a well-crafted piece, spiced up with a little Latin seasoning…And BANG! Colombiana—a silly, overkill, movie that knows its place, but takes you beyond!

Lillis campaign slams trust's care evaluation
Supporters of seriously-ill republican prisoner Brendan Lillis have criticised a medical assessment by the South Eastern Health Trust that he can receive "appropriate" care within Maghaberry jail.
Health Minister Edwin Poots was told by the trust, which is responsible for the provision of healthcare services within all Northern Ireland prisons, it was "confident" about the level of care that the convicted IRA bomber can be provided with inside the high- security prison.
However Lillis's supporters rubbished the assessment, claiming that his healthcare within the jail "consisted of being left lying in a bed in a cell 24 hours a day".
Lillis, a former life sentence prisoner, was returned to jail in 2009 after his release licence was revoked when he was arrested for robbery.
He is suffering from an arthritic condition which causes the bones in the spine to fuse.

MUNICH — The U.S. secretaries of state and defense on Saturday presented an emotional defense of the Obama administration's engagement in international crises in the face of widespread European and Middle Eastern criticism that the United States was retreating from a leadership role.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, the most important trans-Atlantic security gathering, Secretary of State John Kerry expressed some exasperation with the criticism, rejecting "this narrative which frankly has been pushed by some people who have an interest in trying to suggest that the U.S. is somehow on a different track." He went through a litany of U.S. involvement, saying, "I can't think of a place in the world where we're retreating."
But at the same time, Kerry did not mention the American "pivot to Asia" that has been the source of European concern for several years. Nor did he, at least in prepared remarks and a brief question-and-answer session, have much to say about the turmoil in Ukraine, which Washington is seen to have largely left in the hands of the European Union.
Kerry spoke of Ukraine's importance, saying, "Nowhere is the fight for a democratic, European future more important today than in Ukraine," and he offered general support for the aspirations of Ukrainians to choose their future, saying "the United States and the EU stand with the people of Ukraine in that fight" against coercion.
Kerry and his top aides met separately Saturday with Ukrainian opposition figures Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Vitali Klitschko and Petro Poroshenko. European officials who also met with the Ukrainians said Yatsenyuk, who had turned down an offer to become prime minister, said he might consider the job if he could be given real power.
The officials said European and U.S. officials were beginning to discuss a possible financial package for Ukraine, to give any new government time to pass the difficult legislation required to qualify for a large, delayed loan from the International Monetary Fund.
"These discussions are just at the beginning," one European official said. As for President Viktor Yanukovych, "he's still playing for time," the official said. The president is focused on winning another term in 2015 and fears for his personal safety if he leaves office, the official said.
Kerry urged the Ukrainian government to release prisoners, protect rights and "form a technical government that can address Ukraine's economic problems and meet the European aspirations of its people."
Earlier, Kerry repeated Washington's admonitions to Russia not to interfere in Ukraine, which Moscow has been doing from the start of the crisis. U.S. and European officials here, speaking privately, said they were concerned that after the completion of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, this month, President Vladimir Putin might feel freer to act more openly in Ukraine to restore order there — through the use of riot police officers working alongside the Ukrainians, for instance, possibly in Ukrainian uniforms.
"Russia and other countries should not view the European integration of their neighbors as a zero-sum game," Kerry said.
Kerry also defended his deep involvement in the search for Israeli-Palestinian peace, rejecting remarks by Israel's defense minister, Moshe Yaalon, who characterized Kerry's efforts as "an obsession." The status quo will not hold, Kerry said. "We're working hard, because the consequences of failure are inconceivable."
"We all have a powerful, powerful interest in resolving this conflict," Kerry said. "We think it can be a game changer for the region."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, sitting alongside Kerry, sought to reassure Europeans that the United States was not abandoning the Continent as it rebalances its interests — diplomatic, military and economic — to Asia after more than a decade of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. But
"Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has continuously adjusted its defense posture to new strategic realities around the world," Hagel said.
"As our force structure draws down following the end of our longest war, there will be — there must be — adjustments in our posture to meet new challenges."
He cited his recent visit to Poland, where land-based interceptors for a European missile-defense system are to be put in place by 2018. In addition, four U.S. missile-defense warships will be based in Spain, for service in the Mediterranean Sea — the first is en route now, he said.

Drama Queen - Poem by David Lewis Paget
She sat at the edge of the second floor,
'I'm going to jump! ' she cried,
He stood well back from the balcony,
'You lied, ' she said, 'you lied!
You swore we'd marry before the Spring
That I'd always be with you…'
'I didn't promise you anything,
It's not what I want to do! '
'Well, why did you lead me on, ' she said,
'Did you want to break my heart,
I'll fling myself from this building if
We're going to be apart.'
'I've got a lot of living to do
Before I take a wife,
You said that you'd never tie me down,
That you wanted to live your life.'
'I wanted to live my life with you
Is all that I really meant,
But now you're twisting my words, you want
To set up an argument.'
He said, 'You're getting hysterical,
I think that you ought to jump, '
Took one step back, and lifted his foot,
Then planted it in her rump.
She flew off the top of the doll's house
And sat squat on the gravel drive,
Just as her mother motored up,
'I see that you're still alive! '
His father wandered from out the door
And waved to her mother, Gwen,
'I thought I could trust you two out here,
I see what you're doing, Ben! '
'I think she's been watching the Soaps again,
She's always the drama queen,
What have you said to Ben, ' said Gwen,
'He's just as bad, ' said Deane.
'What have you got to say for yourself,
Apologise to Gwen! '
'She said that she wanted to marry me,
But she knows that I'm only ten! '

Australian G20 Special Representative Daniel Sloper.
Picture: JOVESA NAISUA
FIJI and other countries in the region will soon to feel the effects of the strengthening of the economies of the world superpowers that form the G20 or the Group of Twenty.
Australia's special representative to the G20 Daniel Sloper said the G20 nations wanted to help smaller economies so the world GDP could be increased by 2 per cent.
He said for this to happen, the Pacific through its regional organisation had to establish, economic, trade and policy links.
He said after the 2008/2009 recession, members of G20 started to make progress but the effect of this would trickle to the Pacific in a long-term plan.
He said G20 leaders met annually and in addition, finance ministers and central bank governors met regularly during the year to discuss ways to strengthen the global economy, reform international financial institutions, improve financial regulation and implement the key economic reforms that were needed in each member economy.
Mr Sloper said over the past five years, the G20 had framed the world's efforts to restore growth and build the resilience of financial institutions and national economies.
He added it led the world out of an economic crisis and through the initial stages of the recovery.
According to Mr Sloper, with the world now free from immediate economic crisis, the G20 could increasingly shift its attention to driving practical actions that would lead to sustained global growth.

You want something, they want something. You're the coach.
So...go all Pavlovian on them: allow them to do a certain amount of striking once they've done a certain amount of rolling. The former becomes a reward for doing the latter.
If this is done right, the best among them should get used to--and then begin to realize--the fun and utility of rolling after gaining some time and experience at it, and then you won't need Pavlov any more.

You don't want this stuff to go into the kernel, do you ?There are plenty of complex schedulability tests for complex (and also distributed) RT applications modeled in a more or less complex way, scheduled under a variety of scheduling policies, with models including maximum and stochastic blocking times, task dependencies, offsets, and I don't know whatever else. These tests may be part of a user-space component. I would recommend to keep at the kernel level only a bare minimal set of functionality.Deadlines different from periods are already a first complexity that I'm not sure we want to have in the interface. The easiest thing you can do there is to consider simply the minimum among the relative deadline and the period, but that would be equivalent to having only one parameter. More importantly, realizing complex admission control tests raises the issue of how to represent the "availability of RT CPU power" (as needed by "higher-level" logic/middleware). As far as we keep simple utilization-based admission tests (which might optionally be disabled), we still have some chance of representing such quantity.Apologies for my 2 poor cents.

Event 4: Checkers
The National Veterans Golden Age Games host will provide standard and adaptive checkerboards and checkers.
Other Equipment: drinking water, tables, chairs, score sheets, and first aid kit.
Any appropriate area designated for the event by the National Veterans Golden Age Games host. Adequate lighting should be a consideration. The host will provide 12 four-foot square tables for this competition. If possible, one table, separate from the competition, should be set up for photographs.
The competition will be set up in a single elimination tournament format. Whenever possible, competitors from the same medical center will not be matched against each other in first round matches. All matches will be played as a best two out of three games. Third place games will match the two losers of the two semi-final games against each other.
Each competitor commences with 12 pieces, which are arranged on the three ranks nearest him/her. All the pieces are alike in physical structure and bestowed powers; they are single pieces.
A competitor wins when his/her opponent can make no move. This can happen in either of two ways:

By Laurel-Lea Shannon
Olga Kotelko is one of a handful of nonagenarians who still competes in master's track events. And wins. The 95-year-old has a horde of gold medals stored in a closet at home, and holds 26 world records. How she defies age and continues to run, high-jump, and hammer throw is a question many scientists, and one journalist, set out to answer in a book titled What Makes Olga Run.
When author Bruce Grierson first met Olga he was on a fast skid towards early aging. Along with his stamina, the once-fit runner had lost his get-up-and-go, fitness and hair—all by the age of 47. Grierson's interest in the nonagenarian track star involved more than just finding a good story; he was on a quest to learn how Olga cheats old age while most of us succumb to it, not only much earlier, but, like him, often with alarming speed. Together they agreed to study Olga to find out how she's slowing down the normal aging trajectory, while maintaining the vitality of a fifty-year-old.
What they found
Although genetics is a piece of the puzzle, it only accounts for 25 to 30% of longevity. And the one gene associated with longevity Olga doesn't have. Could it be her diet? Olga has a healthy appetite and eats red meat, dairy, and fermented foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut. The vegetables she eats are from her own organic garden. She doesn't eat processed foods. She's into water and drinks copious amounts of it. While her diet is healthy, there's nothing extraordinary about it that explains her resilience. Could it be supplements? She doesn't take them. And no, she doesn't take performance-enhancing drugs.
In fact, the various scientific studies she's undergone didn't come up with one specific thing that gives Olga her super-anti-aging advantage. Instead, there are a number of small daily things—more, Olga being Olga—that give her that leverage. At the end of his book Grierson summarizes these findings in nine rules. The author is careful to point out that Olga is special. While most of us cannot become an Olga, we can, by making lifestyle changes now, become more "Olga-like."
Rule One: Keep Moving
As well as doing her workouts, Olga moves continuously. Think crossfit. The more ways you find to move, the better. Walk, garden, ride a bike, swim, jump, throw a ball. Multiple activities and movement are better than a single sport. Having regular workouts alone won't protect you from the ravages of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. Being sedentary throughout the day, as many of us are, is associated with several diseases, and premature aging. Everything works better with movement, including our brains. Activity makes us more alert, we process information better, and we remember more. It even helps us to sleep more deeply, and for longer.
Rule Two: Create Routines (But sometimes break them)
Routines help us accomplish more in life, leading to successfully completing the goals we set. And they develop discipline—to exercise, to learn, and to keep socially engaged. That's especially important as we age. But too much of a good thing can be bad. So don't get in a rut. To adapt and grow, we need to have new experiences and break out of our routine from time to time.
Rule Three: Be Opportunistic
Don't be an energizer bunny. Stay focused on what's important to you, and spend your energy wisely. Tune into your body and learn when it's good to be active and when it's best to lie low and conserve your energy.
Rule Four: Be a Mensch
Thinking of others and finding ways to express kindness and gratitude are not just good for us but benefit everyone we come in contact with. Quality friendships are important too. People with an abundance of good friends tend to thrive more.
Rule Five: Believe in Something
It doesn't really matter what beliefs you hold as long as they provide you with the courage to embrace life's challenges and to help you see that the really hard bits, the steep slopes, are a necessary part of the journey.
Rule Six: Lighten Up
Managing stress is a crucial component for health. Our genes may predispose us towards certain diseases and conditions, but often choices in lifestyle, including how we manage stress, determine how these genes are expressed. While exercise is one way to reduce stress, learning how our minds create it is equally important. Meditation and yoga can help with that. Getting a proper perspective is also important. When we zoom out and take the long perspective, we can see that most of the things we stress about are really quite trivial. Grierson suggests replacing grumbling with gratitude, and to actively acknowledge the power of grace operating in our lives.
Rule Seven: Cultivate a Sense of Progress
Organize your life for "small wins." Find ways to improve at the things you already do. Or start new activities to stretch your capacity to learn. We thrive when we feel that we are progressing. Don't wait for the big stuff. Celebrate small victories.
Rule Eight: Don't Do It If You Don't Love It
When it comes to exercise, it's got to be fun. Whatever "it" is for you—it may be hard, it may make you sweat, it may create some mild pain afterwards—if it's not fun you won't do it. Get rid of "should." Go for "play."
Rule Nine: Begin Now
Olga took up track and field at 77, an age when most athletes have long before hung up their sneakers for good. If there's an activity you want to try and haven't, take small steps towards doing it now. It doesn't matter how old you are. There's never been a better time than now.
A New Perspective On Aging
Grierson's book throws our standard assumptions about growing old out the window. Citing current scientific studies and anecdotes about his travels with Olga, he creates a new perspective on healthy aging. Through the book we get a glimpse of how a few special people, like Olga, have resisted the normal downward end-of-life spiral. What Makes Olga Run is an inspiring story of how one 95-year-old woman continues to blossom and thrive as she tumbles towards 100, and includes useful life-enhancing tips for how we too can age with greater resilience and grace.

The economy is much worse than Obama would like us to think. While Obama complains that he doesn't get credit for improving the economy, he should check the statistics he's using.
Yes, the "official" unemployment rate has fallen below 5 percent, but a large part of this is due to the fact that many of the unemployed have simply given up looking for work and are no longer counted in the labor force. Additionally, while Obama has made prison reform an issue near the end of his presidency, he's done nothing to prevent the prison population from swelling during his tenure.
The rising prison population in this case doesn't relate to crime, but rather economics. Those who are incarcerated are also classified as out of the labor force, and therefore not "unemployed" (while they might as well be).
But the fact remains that 1 in 6 young men in the United States are either unemployed or in jail. Wow. That's quite an accomplishment.
As Breitbart reports: According to the Congressional Budget Office, out of the 38 million young men in the U.S. in 2014, 16 percent were jobless (5 million or 13 percent) or incarcerated (1 million or 3 percent). The share of young men without a job or in prison has increased substantially since 1980, when just 11 percent of young men fit into either category.
Economic, policy, and skill-set changes contributed to the the large increase in joblessness and incarceration from 1980 to 2014, CBO said.
On the economic side in particular, CBO pointed to the recent recession, technological advances, more women entering the workforce and such debate-inspiring issues as outsourcing and low-skilled immigration.
The especially large increase in joblessness among less educated young men may be partly attributable to changes in technology that have reduced demand for the labor of those young men. Some research suggests that a subset of that group—less educated young men who are native born—may have seen increased joblessness because of an influx of young immigrant men with little education and high rates of employment, but the evidence is mixed.
The CBO noted that federal policy has also added to the employment plight of young men, namely a drop in military employment, crack downs on the earnings of deadbeat dads, increased spending on welfare programs, and the minimum wage.
As you probably noticed, the vast majority of these problems have liberal origins. They should remember that next time they try to portray themselves as champions of the underprivileged — well I guess they are, in that they're champions at making more people underprivileged.

A group of trucking companies wants to move ahead with lawsuits against the truck-stop chain owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
Attorney John Walker told a panel of federal judges meeting Thursday in Portland that last week's class-action settlement with Pilot Flying J over fuel rebate fraud claims was a surprise for the companies that weren't involved in the negotiations.
"Only nine plaintiffs were involved in the settlement out of 18 plaintiffs," Walker told the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation.
Walker said there was no discovery and no testimony before the agreement. He also said the settlement doesn't stipulate how much money the companies will get. It simply states that trucking companies will be paid what they are owed with interest.
The nine companies that aren't interested in the settlement want to consolidate their cases instead, Walker said, preferably in Mississippi.
Pilot and the trucking companies that negotiated the settlement have asked the panel to put the other lawsuits on hold.
Attorney Don Barrett represents one of the companies that negotiated the settlement. He argued that consolidation in Mississippi could delay payments to the companies that want to take the settlement, which was given preliminary approval last week by a federal judge in Arkansas.
And he said he doesn't understand criticisms about the terms of the settlement.
"It's like some kid writing home from camp saying the food is terrible and we don't get enough of it," he told the judges. "The fact is this is a very good settlement."
The settlement came just three months after federal agents raided the Knoxville headquarters of Pilot Flying J. The FBI began investigating the company after an employee claimed the nation's largest diesel retailer, with annual revenues of around $30 billion, was systematically cheating its clients. Five employees have since pleaded guilty to federal charges.

Spinal Cord Injury Challenge Adventure
It is not uncommon for people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) to feel that the challenging activities they engaged in prior to injury, such as skiing, scuba diving and sky-diving, are now beyond their limit. However, Mount Sinai's Life Challenge can teach them that this isn't the case.
In high-level adventure trips, participants with SCI, along with family members and friends, face obstacles together. Through problem solving and teamwork comes a realization: "If I can do this, I can do anything".
Since its inception in 2003, 36 Life Challenge Trips have taken place, involving 246 people with SCI. Life Challenge has received generous support from the Ethan Ruby Foundation, the New York Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, helping to off-set the costs for participants. The program is coordinated by Jim Cesario, MA.

View Thread: What can we ask from Windows "Longhorn Server" 2006
Manip wrote:<Directory C:\Windows>
Order deny, allow
Deny from all
That is all you have to write to block access to windows with apache. No XML, nice simple... I can explain that to anyone in 1min and can write it in even less time. XML == Evil!
Before you all come back at me about how IIS can use NTFS to secure its files.. so can apache for windows and Apache for Linux if you decide to install ACL.
Can you not see that what you wrote is XML?
From where I stand, XML makes it easy to configure files. I personally like it better than INI files. Besdies if the config file is in XML it's easier to write your own tools to manipulate those configurations than if it was a proprietary binary file, or a text file with no real organization. Also when migrating to a new server, you don't need to export registry settings and then import them, you just copy the XML files. Now if only IIS had an install methodology like Tomcat with its WAR files.
As for what I'd like to see in the next server version, well I like the path that 2003 took with fewer applications installed by default maybe there are more services and such that don't need to be started by default.
Also a host firewall turned on by default, or even better an initial install mode where no ports are open to incoming traffic while you patch your system. Today when you install 2000 or 2003 there are dozens of QFE's that you have to install immediately, but because of the way that some worms spread, you don't have time to download the patches before the worm hits you.
Also, I understand the need to test the Service Packs completely, but they need to happen more frequently. Or at least have rollups more often where you take all the current patches and roll them up into one 36MB download (or whatever it turns out to be). Do this once a quarter, and make these easy to slipstream into the OS install disk.

Bowlers who are throwing the ball with a hook need to worry about more than just the front part of the lane. Targeting for these bowlers used to be called 'area' bowling, but now it could be called 'window' bowling. Every lane condition has a 'window' that you want to get to down-lane in order to hit the pocket consistently. Depending on the condition, this window is usually a few boards wide, and a couple feet long on the lane, anywhere between 35' and 45' down the lane. You can still look at arrows, but the goal is to base your targeting on getting the ball to pass over the arrow and through the window. Finding that window is the goal of every bowler that wants to strike.
Ten Pin Corner
Targeting for Intermediate Bowlers
Bowlers who have already developed a solid base of fundamentals are most likely looking at either the dots or the arrows. These are by far the two most effective areas to target. If you look at the foul line, it is likely causing some problems with your delivery of the bowling ball, and should be changed.
Targeting for Beginners
On a bowling lane, there are lots of things to 'look at'. There are dots at the foul line, a different set of dots 8' past the foul line, a set of arrows 15' away, and sometimes a set of 4 dark boards well down the lane. There are also the pins. Most beginners tend to look at the pins because they're the most obvious visual cue. They're also the thing you're trying to knock down so it makes sense. Unfortunately, an object that is 60' from you is not the easiest to hit.

I can't believe it's going to be so cold tomorrow. I thought it was Spring – not winter. We might even get some snow! Isn't that terrible. We're near the end of April – after a beautiful warm winter and decent spring and we might get snow after two seasons that barely had any snow? Odd! LOL
No no … it's time for us to be outside wearing light jackets or not coats at all .. perhaps even shorts and tank tops! Sandals!
One great thing about my neighborhood is that once the weather is nice and even when it isn't – people are outside visiting each other, working on their houses and their yards, walking or biking everywhere. Parents are walking their kids to the school just down the street, pregnant women are walking around in hip maternity clothes and almost everyone is friendly. Perhaps not friendly enough to stop and talk but at least to wave hello or to smile or nod your head at – make eye contact and so on.
I've been in this neighborhood now for 11 years and I know pretty much everyone nearby. I know people in part because it's a friendly neighborhood and in part because until I became ill and had to take some time off work I was a nurse in the Emergency ward at the hospital down the street from my house and eventually a lot of neighbors end up coming through the emerg either as patients themselves or with friends and relatives so it's not hard to get to know them a little bit that way.
The only time I've ever found this neighborhood quite or "dead" was this past Christmas. I was alone myself and there just seemed to be no one around. Everyone was away.
Hopefully the weather warms up soon and it doesn't snow tomorrow. I'd really hate to have to pull out the shovel again! Just when my garden is really starting to do fanatically!

The Joyful Professor
You can shift from surviving the life of a faculty member to thriving as one, writes Barbara Spang Minsker.
If anyone had told me four years ago that I would be publishing a book called The Joyful Professor: How to Shift from Surviving to Thriving in the Faculty Life, I would have had a great laugh. At that time, I was in full survival mode and hadn't a clue how to succeed in academia any other way, although I certainly longed for a saner lifestyle.
On the surface, I had all the trappings of academic and personal success: full professor at a top research university, lots of awards, millions of dollars in external funding, increasing leadership responsibilities in exciting national and campus initiatives, a strong marriage of nearly 20 years, and two sons with whom I was deeply connected. Despite these outer measures of success, I had many internal signs that gave me strong doubts as to my ability to sustainably continue what I was doing.
I loved the challenges and possibilities I could create in large interdisciplinary projects, but the interpersonal issues that came up and work overload were building symptoms of chronic stress. I had debilitating migraines that sent me to bed for a day every few months and had regular bouts with allergies and colds. I worried a lot and regularly had "transportation nightmares" in which I dreamed that I couldn't get my act together to catch my next vital plane, train, or bus.
Fortunately I had a highly supportive provost at the time (thank you, Linda Katehi) who encouraged me to find a leadership training course that would fit my needs. After checking out available options and gathering recommendations, I chose one at the Center for Authentic Leadership. Although it wasn't geared towards academics specifically, I liked the way it was focused solely on the communication aspects of leadership, which was where I needed help.
To say that CAL's programs were mind-blowing and life-changing would be an understatement. After completing CAL's 2.5-year Future Thinking advanced leadership program this April, which involved quarterly workshops and weekly conference calls to learn and practice more effective communication approaches and try them out in our lives, my stress levels have dramatically declined and my joy has increased exponentially, yet I'm still just as productive in my work (if not more so). Allergies and migraines are pretty much gone.
All this came from a lot of hard development work, understanding my own strengths and weaknesses, my fundamental needs that I've often ignored in taking care of others and the things I "should" be doing, and how to better handle conflicts and connect with others. For example, I learned how many people view the uncertainty of conversations as downright scary, and in fact I used battle language to describe my interactions with colleagues (e.g., "he hit me with that"). By the end of a day of meetings, I would invariably have a headache (I called it that "head in a blender feeling") and be exhausted. Once CAL helped me to see this mindset and learn how to bring a healthier mindset and techniques into conversations (conversations as an adventure to find creative solutions that are workable for all parties), my headaches disappeared, I spend less time and energy dealing with conflicts, and I have new energy to bring to all aspects of my life.
I've also focused on simplifying all aspects of my life (e.g., I gave up the gardening and recreational shopping, which I enjoy but are "pebbles," to make more room for the "rocks" that I really love -- more on that distinction later) and finding better integration of work and home life (e.g., maintaining more flexible working times and working at home frequently so that I can be more available for my family).
I'm still learning and growing in a lifelong development journey, but wanted to see if I could help the many other over-stressed faculty by publishing The Joyful Professor guide and developing an accompanying workshop with help from the Center for Training and Professional Development at the University of Illinois. Our first workshops filled within 30 minutes of their announcement, so I know there is a lot of need out there.
How can you bring more joy into your life and reduce stress? There is a story circulating on the internet that sums it up nicely:
A philosophy professor picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about 2″ in diameter. He then asked the students in his class if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks.He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous — yes.
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar — effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your spouse, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your husband or wife out dancing.
"Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for 2 cups of coffee with a friend."
While the message of this story is intuitive and simple, implementing it in your life is not straightforward. I have no trouble identifying and minimizing the sand.
But differentiating the rocks from the pebbles and minimizing the pebbles is much harder. A key element of this process is identifying what your top soulful values are. There CAL programs suggest that there are nine basic soulful values that all of us strive to fulfill. Most people have three or four of the nine that are their "to die for" needs, and if they are not met it can lead to health problems and even addictions. I won't list all of the soulful values here, but my top soulful values are workability and feasibility, learning and adventure, and making a difference and contributing.
Once you know what your top soulful values are, you can ensure that your "rocks" meet your needs and avoid wasting time on less important pebbles and sand. The Joyful Professor approach involves listing some near-term professional and personal projects and goals that you're interested in pursuing. The most critical step for bringing joy to your life is in making the connection from your goals back to your soulful values. This will ensure that your goals will bring you true passion and joy, rather than the endless list of "shoulds" that offer little inspiration. Once your goals are clarified, you can then work on simplifying your life to give you time to focus on these essentials, weeding out or delegating the rest.
This kind of thinking is essential for all career stages, from assistant professor to emeritus professor. At the assistant professor level, it's essential to figure out the most critical needs to make tenure and to maintain a healthy home life, particularly for those with young children (my younger son was born in my second year at Illinois, so I know how challenging those early years can be). Post-tenure, the menu of exciting opportunities expands dramatically and selecting wisely among them is critical to promotion to full professor and beyond, not to mention maintaining a healthy personal life. I've also had new retirees in my workshops who are trying to figure out what to do with all their newfound free time, something the rest of us can only dream about.
Going through this process of goal-setting and focusing requires some upfront time investment, but will pay back huge returns in freeing up your creativity and energy to meet the goals that you care about. In fact, I'm working fewer hours now than I have in the past, but accomplishing more because I'm focusing on the most critical aspects. Just keep in mind that simplifying and focusing your life is an ongoing journey that will evolve over time, but I can tell you from personal experience that it is well worth the effort.

We celebrated Earth Day on Tuesday by enjoying a great bike ride to picnic and climb (hug) trees by our local pond, then to the library to borrow books. We've been making some earthy-crunchy snacks lately, full of veggies, fruits and other nutritious ingredients. I love packing up our vintage picnic basket for impromptu meals, as it lends to eating fresh, easy, clean food. My daughter found some logs to sit on and as she walked toward a tree at the park, she said, "I'll give you hugs tree, so you'll grow leaves!", then proceeded to hug and sing a song about it to the tree ~ I have a genuine tree-hugger on my hands folks! It's fun watching kids express their oneness with nature.
Our food growing has been a challenge so far this year, with quite erratic weather patterns here, from very warm to snowing in April, but we press on and are seeing our sprouts and seedlings display a strong will to survive, despite a few casualties. The living planet has so much to teach us, and nurturing tiny seeds that grow into strong plants providing real, pure, whole, nutrient-rich food has been such a privilege and educational journey for me. It teaches patience, acceptance of uncontrollable circumstances, and perseverance when things seem difficult or impossible. So much growth may come about from waiting and watching, allowing life to unfold in its' own time and way. Taking time with my family to breathe it all in and enjoy the moments, each one a new joy to be had, has been a calming and satisfying personal shift for me recently.
For the picnic, we packed up some mason jars with two different salads to share, along with a banana, raisins, almonds and Purity Organic Coconut Water.

Michael Jordan's Steak House
505 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago
Who eats: Business folks, Intercontinental Hotel guests
Why eat: Hearty food in servings fit for a six-time NBA champ.
Ambience: MJ's has been reincarnated on Michigan Avenue. Dinner is served on the mezzanine, up a sweeping staircase; lunch in the street-level bar. Not as grand but cozy and comfortable, with dark wood, white tablecloths and plenty of atmosphere. A mix of traditional tables, settees and large booths. Food also is served at the bar. Our table was right off the Intercontinental lobby, but rather than being a distraction, it was fascinating to watch changing views of the Boul Mich on the webcam behind the front desk.
