BEIRUT (Reuters) - A powerful alliance of Syrian Islamist rebels rejected upcoming peace talks on Sunday, meaning that even if the talks reach an unlikely breakthrough in the three year old civil war, it will be harder to implement it on the ground.
Syria's main political opposition group in exile, the National Coalition, agreed on Saturday to attend the talks beginning on Wednesday in Geneva, setting up the first meeting between President Bashar al-Assad's government and its foes.
But the Islamic Front, an alliance of several Islamist fighting forces that represents a large portion of the rebels on the ground, said on Sunday it rejected the talks.
Syria's future would be "formulated here on the ground of heroism, and signed with blood on the front lines, not in hollow conferences attended by those who don't even represent themselves," Abu Omar, a leading member of the Islamic Front, said on his Twitter account.
Some 130,000 people have been killed and a quarter of Syrians driven from their homes in the civil war, which began with peaceful protests against 40 years of Assad family rule and has descended into a sectarian conflict, with the opposing sides armed and funded by Sunni Arab states and Shi'ite Iran.
In what appeared to be a symbolic conciliatory move ahead of the talks, Syria permitted some aid to reach a besieged suburb of Damascus on Saturday and Sunday, state media said.
Saturday's shipment included only 200 food parcels for Yarmouk, a camp of Palestinian refugees where 15 people have died of malnutrition so far under a seven-month siege. U.N. Relief Works Agency spokesman Chris Gunness said it would feed just 330 of the camp's 18,000 residents for a month. It was not immediately clear how much aid made it through on Sunday.
Cold War foes Moscow and Washington, which have emerged as the leading pro- and anti-Assad powers, have urged both parties to make concessions, including ceasefires, access for aid and prisoner exchanges, to build confidence before the conference.
Russian news agency Itar-Tass cited Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov as saying that the opposition Coalition had made "a correct decision" in agreeing to attend.
"We have been saying the entire time that it is necessary to go to the forum and enter into dialogue with the government."
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem, on a visit to Moscow this month, said he had given Russian officials a plan for a truce in Aleppo, Syria's biggest city, and said the government was ready to swap lists of prisoners to be freed.
But there is little sign of violence abating or of either side winning a final victory on the battlefield.
Activists around the country, from the capital to Aleppo to the eastern province of Deir al-Zor on the border with Iraq, said that the Syrian air force was using jets and helicopters to bomb rebel-held areas.
Rebel fighters from Syria's Qalamoun mountain range, near the border with Lebanon, said more than 60 opposition militants had been killed in an ambush by forces loyal to Assad on Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-Assad monitoring group, said that helicopters over Aleppo were using crudely-made and inaccurate "barrel bombs", which can collapse entire apartment blocks. It said 194 people had been killed on Saturday. Death tolls on such a scale have become almost routine as fighting has intensified in the past year.
After two years when Western countries believed Assad's days were numbered and rebels seized whole swathes of the country, the past year has seen the war largely go the president's way.
Rebels have fought each other, with groups turning against a powerful al Qaeda-linked Islamist faction. Assad's forces have recovered lost ground, and the rise of Islamists among the rebels has cost them Western support.
A last-minute decision by Washington in September to scrap plans for strikes to punish Assad for using chemical arms effectively ended more than two years of speculation that the West might join the war against Assad, as it did in 2011 against Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.
Russia's Interfax news agency reported on Sunday that Assad had told Russian lawmakers he would not yield power. Syrian state media denied the quotes as "not accurate", however.
It was not immediately clear why Damascus would object to a Russian agency reporting the president's defiant line. State media said later on Sunday that Assad had met Russian religious leaders and parliamentarians and called for an international effort to fight "terrorists", the label Damascus uses for the armed opposition.

When you register a domain name, it is administered by a domain name registrar, a company that makes sure your domain name "works" in terms of connecting to your web site and delivering your email. If you change registrars, that change is known as a transfer.
The most common reasons for transferring a domain name are to take advantage of a different registrars products or prices, to consolidate all your domain names with a single registrar, or to pursue a different level or style of customer service.
To see which domain names can be transferred, visit our TLD Overview. To see the TLD Overview, go to the bottom of the page and click "Help". In the "Domain" section click "Extension Details (TLDs)".
Yes. Almost all our services are available if you sign up for DNS Hosting.
Please submit your transfer requests well in advance of the expiration date. We are not responsible for domains that expire prior to a successful transfer. You do not lose any time, or pay for overlapping months. With the exception of .eu domain names, transfer adds a full year to the current expiration date.
Log in, hover on "Domain" and click "Transfer A Domain". Follow the instructions in the interface.
There are also tasks you must complete at your former registrar: make sure the Registrant and Administrative email addresses are correct (unless you are transferring from Go Daddy, in which case you should only make changes to the Administrative contact), unlock the domain name, retrieve the EPP key, and respond to transfer confirmation emails.
Auto Transfer is our paperless transfer system. For each domain on the request, we email the current domain Registrant and Administrative contacts for authorization.
If you plan to transfer domains on a regular basis, or for a large number of domain names with the same Registrant or Administrative contact, Verification by Fax may be easier than replying to multiple emails.
This transfer type requires that you fax us a signed authorization form and reliable evidence regarding your identity. This option is likely to save you time if you expect to transfer large numbers of domain names or if you expect to transfer domains on a regular basis.
Reliable evidence includes: A government-issued identification card (such as a birth certificate, passport, driver's license, or military ID), a notarized statement, or corporation or partnership formation documents.
Transferring .com and .net domain names requires an EPP transfer authorization code, a security code that indicates you have the right to transfer the domain name. Please contact your current registrar to obtain this code prior to submitting your transfer request.
For .eu domains the current registrant contact email address will receive email from the .eu registry (EURid) which needs to be approved within 7 days of the transfer order. The new expiration date of the domain will be 1 year from the completion date of the transfer.
You will be charged only once.
Log in and click "My Accounts". In the "Transfers" section click "Manage". In the "Run A Report" tab, select a report type, set dates, and click "Run Report".
When you register a domain name, you gain exclusive rights to that domain name for a period of time but not forever. It's more like a lease than a purchase. In effect, renewing extends your lease on the domain name.
Log in and click "My Account". Click "Registered Domains". Click the domain name you want to renew. Click "renew". Use the dropdown menu to select the number of years you want to renew, and click "Checkout Now". Agree to the terms and conditions and click "Purchase Items".
You can renew a domain name almost any time, and you can extend the expiration date up to 10 years from today.
Avoid letting your domain expire! The registry allows a short period of time to renew at your normal registration price, but then they raise the price considerably, and if you don't pay the grace period redemption price they delete the name. Once the name enters the deletion queue, we lose the ability to retrieve it for you. You have to compete for it on its deletion date, and if you're able to regain it, it may be expensive. We strongly recommend renewing your domains well in advance of their expiration dates to avoid the frustration and expense of this process.

Detroit Lions welcome new faces
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Their new coach has been to Super Bowls and the Detroit Lions how have two new players who have championship rings.
Free-agent acquisitions Golden Tate and James Ihedigbo — who played on the winning side of the last two Super Bowls — finished their second day of minicamp practices with their new team Wednesday. Both are enjoying their new home.
Coach Jim Caldwell, who guided Indianapolis to a Super Bowl and has two championship rings as an assistant, said having players with recent Super Bowl experience only can help.
"It's invaluable. You can't have enough of them," he said. "They know what it takes and that's why it's great to have them around because a coach can only do so much. You need players and guys that have had that kind of experience to also come alongside of you and kind of help things move along in that direction."
Tate fills a glaring need at wideout, where only All-Pro Calvin Johnson returns with significant NFL experience. Tate caught 64 passes for 898 yards and five touchdowns last season with Seattle and ended the run starting in the Super Bowl against Denver.
He said the Lions' offense, which features Johnson and quarterback Matthew Stafford, is a perfect fit.
"I'm coming into a pass-happy offense," Tate said. "As a receiver, it doesn't get any better than that. I have one of the best players in the league lining up opposite me. Your eyes have to light up."
Caldwell said he already could see a bit of chemistry developing between Tate and Stafford.
"We have a lot of talent in this offense and we're trying to make the most of it early," Tate said. "Matt and I and the other receivers are working on our chemistry so when training camp rolls around, we're not starting from scratch."
He also returned kickoffs and punts for the Seahawks and could give Detroit an added weapon after it finished 20th last season in overall return yards.
Ihedigbo arrives after the Lions lost former safety Louis Delmas during free agency. Ihedigbo had 101 tackles and three interceptions, and forced a pair of fumbles last season while starting all 16 games in Baltimore. He was a member of the Ravens' Super Bowl-winning team two years ago.
"I'm not going to bark out too much," he said, "but I definitely will help educate younger guys. It's coming along."
He added the scheme will look familiar to Lions fans, who've grown accustomed to a defense that aggressively goes after opposing passers.
"We will be coming after quarterbacks," he said.
Some of what he and his new teammates are learning should be somewhat familiar to Ihedigbo. New defensive coordinator Teryl Austin spent the last three seasons as Baltimore's defensive backs coach.
The optional minicamp concludes Thursday.

The New York Times republished information from the Green Bay Advocate on the Peshtigo Fire as well as other fires in the area. The fires and the absolute devastation made national (and international) news. This article was extremely long. For sanity's sake I will be posting it in three parts. Even doing so the final part will still be incredibly long. It is still a very interesting read, but not for the light hearted.
"In Wisconsin.
Particulars of the Burning of Williamsonville and Peshtigo - Frightful Number of Deaths.
From the Green Bay (Wis.) Advocate
By GUILLAUME DELALUZERNE, from Uniontown, we learn that the entire settlement at WILLIAMSON BROTHERS' mill, five miles from the shore of Little Sturgeon Bay, was burned on Sunday night. The proprietor, JOHN WILLIAMSON, with his wife and two children - his entire family - are burned to death, and about fifty-three other persons in the same settlement perished. Scarcely a soul is left to tell the tale.
There were twelve families about the mill and fifty-two men in and about the mill. Of all these people, but two were saved uninjured, and ten injured persons still living were found, and were sent on Monday by the tug Ozaukee to Big Sturgeon Bay for medical treatment. Every other individual in the settlement is dead. Mr. GARDNER sent twenty-five men to chop through the woods to this settlement, our correspondent being one of the number. They found the remains of six persons in one house, and piled the partly charred remains of fifty-five bodies of men, women and children. Twenty-nine human bodies lay on a spot about ten feet square [sic] - some with arms and legs burned off, and all with clothing gone. A few rods [?roads?] off were others, and a man and child were found dead in a well. They found fifty-five dead bodies, and think the total number must be from sixty to seventy.
The south-easterly gale of Sunday evening reached the proportions of a hurricane at Peshtigo. The woods, which had been alive with slowly-running fires for weeks, were suddenly burned with a whirlwind of fire, and, without any warning, great sheets of flames were carried into the village. Those who escaped describe the scene as awful in the extreme. No attempt could be made to arrest its progress, and the inhabitants ran terror-stricken and screaming into the river, where they plunged headlong, and sought, by dashing water over themselves, to keep off the fire which filled the air. Every building but one - an unfinished dwelling - is reported burned. The great pail factory - one of the monuments of enterprise in this region - the extensive lumber mill and door, sash and blind factory, many expensive dwellings, and scores of smaller houses, tenements, shops, barns, &c., were swept away.
Few names can yet be obtained of those who are probably lost. We get those of JOHN E. BEEBE, wife and two children. Mr. BEEBE was a clerk and book-keeper in the Peshtigo Company's store. W. F. THOMPSON, clerk in the same store, wife and mother; D. McGREGOR, conductor on the Peshtigo Railroad, and sister; JAMES MELLEN, foreman of machine-shops, two daughters; MICHAEL CREAMER'S wife and child; Mrs. DANIEL HUNT and one or two children. One family, consisting of father, mother and three children, were found dead together within thirty feet of the river. Large numbers are reported to have been burned in the Peshtigo Company's boarding-house. CHARLES WOODWARD, who kept the Peshtigo House, estimates the loss of life at nearly 400. The loss in the 'Sugar Bush' was much worse than in the village. They had no means of escape, while at the village the people saved themselves in the river.
The Sugar Bush was a thrifty farming settlement seven or eight miles long by four or five miles wide, and contained about 300 families. It was estimated by competent judges on Tuesday that eight-tenths of its inhabitants were dead. But about eight buildings were left. Twenty teams went up there on Tuesday to bury the dead, and up to 4 P. M. Tuesday they had reported the following dead in the Sugar Bush:
L. H. HILL, wife and boy, and forty-two bodies picked up in front of their house; T. KELLY and one child, (wife and two children saved;) daughter, twelve years old, of FRED BARTEL'S; four families of NEWBERRYS, all gone but one boy; JOHN CHURCH, wife and two grown children; wife and five children of CHAS. LEMBK, JOHN SMITH, wife and five children; JOHN ALSWEIGER, wife and six children; CHAS. LAWRENCE, wife and three children; N. MAY, wife and two children; wife of PETER LEECH, and two hired men; father, mother, wife and child of WM. PENRY; CHAS. CHAPMAN, wife and one child; HENRY HAYS, wife and two children; JOHN PRATT, wife and four children; widow AYMER and two grown-up boys. Mr. WOODWARD gives us the following addition to the list of dead in Peshtigo village: JOHN TANNER, wife and two children; eldest daughter of P. J. MARSHAL; A. A. PRATT, wife and one child; wife and five children of DONALD McDONALD."

Researchers Identify Flaws In Technology Used To Reduce Medication Administration Errors
In the first study of its kind, researchers led by The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine's Ross Koppel, Ph.D. studied how hospital nurses actually use bar-coded technology that matches the right patient with the right dose of the right medication. The surprising result is that the design and implementation of the technology, which is often relied upon as a "cure-all" for medication administration errors, is flawed, and can increase the probabilities of certain errors.
Equally surprising is that the urgencies of care and the ingenuity of nurses to cope with these shortcomings have the unintended consequences of creating other medication errors. These findings appear in the July/August issue of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). The study also illustrates how adjustments to workflow and the technology can dramatically reduce the risk of these errors.
These barcode systems usually consist of handheld devices and computers that match machine-readable barcodes on patients and medications. If they match, and if they are consistent with the ordered medications, the medications are given. If not, usually a signal goes off telling the nurse of a discrepancy.
The study was conducted at 5 hospitals in the Midwest and on the East Coast, but not at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) because it does not yet have medication barcoding. Penn's Ross Koppel, Ph.D. and his colleagues from other healthcare systems examined close to a half-million instances where nurses and other staff scanned patients and medications. The researchers found a remarkably high proportion of scans involved nurses overriding the technology with workarounds to compensate for difficulties with the barcode systems. These researchers found that nurses scanning the barcode on the medication or the patient's ID bracelet overrode the technology for 4.2% of patients charted and for 10.3% of medications charted. In contrast, vendors of barcode medication administration (BCMA) systems report error rates that are a small fraction of this study's numbers; but vendors focus primarily on the ability to physically affix and read barcodes, not on the totality of the many processes in actual use. In addition to examining the ? million scans, Dr. Koppel and colleagues spent years shadowing nurses using the technology, participated in many BCMA implementation meetings, and conducted scores of interviews with pharmacists, nurses, and IT leaders.
Hospital patients, on average, are subject to one medication administration error a day, according to the Institute of Medicine, and in hospitals, medication administration accounts for 26% to 32% of adult patient medication errors. Thus, an automated system using barcodes to reconcile a patient's medications and orders with the patient's identity would be a great advance, helping to ensure the right patient receives the right dose at the right time.
But what Penn's Professor Koppel and his colleagues found in the five study hospitals were 31 "causes" of problems that engendered workarounds by the nurses. These causes included: unreadable medication-barcodes (crinkled, smudged, torn, missing, covered by another label); malfunctioning scanners; unreadable or missing patient-ID-wristbands (chewed, soaked, missing); non-barcoded-medications; medications in distant refrigerators, lost wireless connectivity; problems with patients in contact isolation, and emergencies. In some cases, if the pharmacy sent two 10mg tablets for a 20mg order, the scanners/computers would not accept the medications. Nurses devised workarounds to compensate for the awkward and inconvenient aspects of the barcode technology. These nonstandard procedures consisted of, for example, affixing extra copies of patient ID barcodes on desks, scanning machines, clipboards, supply room, and doorjambs, as well as carrying several pre-scanned patient's medications on one tray. Ross Koppel, Ph.D., Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Sociology Department at the University of Pennsylvania, emphasized that "It's not that staff are lazy or careless, it's that the system does not work as well as it should. If the refrigerated medication is two floors and a long hallway away, you're not going to wheel your 87 year old patient to the fridge. You make a copy of her barcode. And while you do that, you help another two patients who also need refrigerated medications."
"Bar-coding is still under development," says Koppel. "Administrators and vendors may expect it to be fool-proof, but users know it's not. It's a very promising technology that still requires constant refining and careful observation of on-the-floor workflow to get it right."
The researchers found that in the pressurized, "can-do" culture of today's hospital, nurses compensated for the imperfect technology and workflow by devising 15 types of workarounds. The study also presents typologies of workarounds, BCMA "causes," and the kinds of errors associated with each.
Every day BCMAs save lives and stop errors, says Dr. Koppel, and the published study documents thousands of medication errors avoided via these systems. In addition, the article also lists many recommendations for identifying the problems and mitigating workarounds. Four of the study hospitals reduced the number of overrides dramatically by following these recommendations.
"The causes of workarounds are neither rare nor secret," added Koppel. "They are hidden in plain sight, obscured by, among other things, a blind faith in technology and the urgent needs of patient care. Clever as they are, workarounds are the unintended consequence of a technology in need of continuing and in situ evaluation."
Professor Ross Koppel's research on healthcare information technology (HIT) came to national prominence a few years ago with a JAMA article on medication errors associated with computerized physician order entry systems (CPOE). But he has published widely on HIT, noting its many benefits as well as its problems. In the same July/August issue of JAMIA, in fact, he is also the first author on a paper that presents a way of using CPOE to detect and prevent medication errors—a decidedly pro-CPOE piece. Koppel remarked, "Many vendors and their supporters mistakenly believe I'm some sort of Luddite. That's the exact opposite of my position. I view these technologies as vital; that's why we must make them work to help clinicians and patients. Right now, the vendors and true believers focus on marketing HIT, and attack any criticisms as anti-technology. That's the worst way to improve these essential tools."
This study challenges assumptions of how these increasingly popular bar-coded medication administration systems are actually used in hospital practice. "It is not enough to tell the staff to "do it right", concludes Koppel, "rather repeated examinations and corrections of the technologies in actual use will help optimize their roles in preventing medication error and enhancing patient safety."

Post subject: Random Notes from the Editor
Guys, in planning next year's issues, I've been jotting down some notes. Since I'm a big-fan of open-source anything, I'm tossing 'em out there for your entertainment, perusal, comment, or ignore-this-thread-and-go-argue-about-wearing-seat-harnesses-to-guarantee
Also, for slightly OT, but something I think we should all keep in mind when reading and posting on this forum: Humor is the language of intelligence.
Anyways, what's below is some quickly jotted down notes (pls forgive errors of type and syntax.)
seeks to both discover and define the culture of a sport that has become an integral part of the lives of its participants. As windsurfing and its participants mature, it becomes increasingly difficult to create a magazine that offers reader service to both new participants learning the sport and veteran readers who have seen 25 years of jibe instruction and board tests. And we don't just have to satisfy beginners and vets - we have to accomodate raceheads and waveheads, freestylers and Formula sailors.
The way to bridge that gap is by creating a magazine about windsurfing culture seeking the common threads that bind us together as windsurfers, and finding unique ways to present that it in print. Magazines are no longer only about service much of service has moved to the web.
Out with the now, in with the then -
In the era of hyper-communication, meta-reference, iPods and blogs, its easy to forget the value and mass appeal - of nostalgia. In 1994, windsurfing didnt have 30+ years of history to draw on. Evolution of gear was happening at an astronomical pace. Every other issue had the next big thing. 15 years later, weve got the gear thing down pretty good. Improvements come in increments, not leaps and bounds. So lets stop making gear our focus. Very little of it is changing in drastic enough measures to warrant cover blurbs and feature stories. What we DO have now is nearly 4 decades of history to draw on. Windsurfers love to say, I remember when, lets indulge them.
The Story of Board #8
10 Best Boards Ever
Big Picture Pieces
Readers remember pieces that make them think. The best cover blurb of all time on a surf mag had nothing to do with Teahupoo, Kelly Slater, or Mavericks. It was this: IS SURFING RELIGION? Pretentious, but profound. And memorable. We dont need to go that far...but its good to include pieces that attempt to place our sport in the larger zeitgeist of work, play, family, and life in general.
Would you windsurf every day for the rest of your life?
Do you spend more time working or windsurfing?
Travel Pieces
The world is smaller than ever, and good rental gear is popping up in places never before seen. As windsurfers kids grow up and head off to college, theyre more and more likely to hit the road. Travel pieces have always been a staple of the magazine providing both information and inspiration.
Personality Pieces
Well done, personality pieces resonate with almost every level of reader no matter whether the subject is a pro (Kauli Seadi) or a regular Joe (Bill Heise). Every issue should include a profile piece along one of those two lines. Often, it can be blended in with a location/style/event that the person is intricately tied to. Interestingly, articles about regular joes have seemed be a bigger hit Bill Heise, Joe Dihl, Buffalo Bill Keitel) than the pro stuff.
Hot Shots
Gotta have em. Art wants em cleaner looking with less words, Edit says we gotta keep all the stats (locale, wind, sail size...) and at least 75 word anecdotes. We get so many great shots that have a great short story, but not enough to make a feature those are hot shots.
Board Tests
- Is it time for them to go entirely to the web? How about a single extra issue per year, dedicated solely to board tests?[/i]

Hi Josh,
I am most interested in your travel pieces. I am least interested in Eric Sanford's Cutbacks feature. It is the lamest humor I have ever read.
On the other hand, Eric has written some very entertaining and funny travelogues to faraway places that only appear on your website.
Why not have Eric be converted to a full time travel editor?
I loved the last issue on Baja.

I really like the stuff about gear and technique, and I'm not just saying that because I'm participating in the board test this year. I liked the tech talk before, too. I wouldn't be as interested in the magazine if it was ONLY bios and essays and travelogues.
I don't think I'm alone in that opinion. A lot of windsurfers are techy, engineering types, for whom tinkering, tuning, and upgrading gear consititute ~50% of their enjoyment of the sport. Most of the search-hits to my windsurfing-related blog have to do with gear and technique questions.
But there are more ways to do gear talk besides just rating and comparing within a group of new boards. Some things I think might be interesting, which would also combine a "personal" or "historical" angle in with the techy stuff...
A piece on tuning and tweaking a freeride or freestyle-wave board for different conditions and uses, using different fins, footstrap positions, sails, and riding styles. Maybe a real-world example with what worked, what didn't work, etc.
More new-versus-old comparisions. The tests of a certain class of new board could always include a few older reference boards to be rated alongside them. Like, for the maui board test, maybe have a classic, popular wave board from 5 and/or 10 years ago alongside the new ones. Or in the lightwind freeride board test, include an original bic techno and F2 Xantos.
Some kind of "pimp my ride" feature, following the experience of someone who gets a gear upgrade / advanced lessons. Kinda like the Baja wavesailing newbie article, but maybe with a different genre of windsurfing, like freestyle, speed, slalom, formula, or longboard racing. Something about going to the next level with gear and skills, even if it's in the same local, inland spot.
On the same "follow someone's experiences" theme, you could chronicle the adventures of someone who gets instructor training and then teaches for a month or something.
PS- I agree that Eric Sanford's regular articles are good, but "Cutbacks" is almost never funny. Not even a little bit. It's just goofy and pointless, like a clown hitting himself in the face with a pie.

Kyle here....
I'm thinking you probably know my style, but I will chime in so the collective can badger.
The Baja issue was one that I found myself reading several times just to try and imagine myself experiencing it. In my opinion, it was MONEY. I was a particularly hugo fan of the peninsula map that laid out the majority of the towns and sailing spots. This kind gives things a nice intro, and I'd like to see more of this for several regions around the country (South Texas, Hawaii, Hatteras, and any other state or region in the world). Yes, it's been done before for many of these spots, but things change and so do opinions.
I would like to see more about worldly destinations and out of the box travel. Jeri and Baja are great examples, but it leaves me wanting more of this cuz it's so damn interesting.
As always, I dig the real world content about real world sailors making every day life work in their locale. The spots they sail, their crews, all of it thrills me visually and intellectually.
I like board tests, no doubt. You guys do a nice job with this in my opinion. I always find myself trying to translate what's said about each board into my world. E.g. How things play in the waves in Maui won't be how things play in the waves on my spot, so I "guess" what Maui might be like and adjust for the non perfectness of home. I have always had a dream (not MLK dream, but...) that we would have one board that we shipped around the country, then everyone that had it wrote a review......but we know that's not practical. So someone in Hatteras has it, writes a review and sends it to Maine....and so on. This is where online forums / tests could be super handy.
Just some thoughts.

Is that Kyle Rubin?
I like the ship one board around the country idea... but logistically, it would be difficult. It's been very difficult, for instance, to move the Serenity... but perhaps a 100-liter board would be better. That can be shipped for a reasonable fee.. and if 'testers' could help bear the job of packing it up and shipping it, I could find a brand willing to try that out.
(sticks idea in the idea box for next year)

PS, next issue: LOTS of women. In bikinis and out of them. (Get your minds out of the gutter, kids, they'll still be clothed.)
Also: editorial apology to ex-girlfriend for revealing personal (but humorous) anecdotes from our break-up.

I too Loved the Baja issue. Maybe because I've never gone, but thought about it endless times. It was similar to the old Gorge issues that, even if you weren't going, made for interesting perusing. Also liked the overall map.
I also think more interviews with folks important in the development of our sport would be good. I would be very interested in sessions with Randy French, Spanier, Ezzy, Robbie or even Randy Naish, Trev Bayless, JP, Goya. All outspoken with strong opinions and would make interesting reads.
Finally, yes I think Eric is funny.

Now this might get at least 1 issue selling hard. Eric can be a very
polarizing guy. How about a poll (not to be announced until the issue comes out) and article about whether Eric Sanford is funny or not and why,
made up of submissions from the fans or anti fans. A little like the
Brian Cunningham article only broader range. Just don't tell Eric I suggested it. ;*)

dont ditch the board tests, I think most beginer and intermediate sailors like them. maybe advanced and expert sailors have made up their own opinions through years of sailing and dont need any advice. Im a person that bought a board pretty much soley on the reviews from the mag, and its great. thanks for the help. get rid of the spider charts though, not a big fan, and bring back the GPS I think it adds alot of weight when you say a board is fast or slow.

Oh My! A Lib blog thanks and apologizes to Bush and Chaney?
Obviously, the President has lost his invincible, I'll solve it all, image, and many people are quietly changing their minds about him. But rarely do we see a turn around such as this one from a Pro-Hillary Clinton blog written by some gay guys in Chicago!*
Read this amazing post from their HillBuzz blog. Thank you former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush Here are some highlights:
"If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of 'Dubya' [Bush] nearly every day…
"Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.""We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did..."
"Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia [Obama], made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11. He would have not gone there with a bullhorn and struck that right tone. More likely than not, he would have been his usual fey, apologetic self and waxed professorially about how evil America is and how justified Muslims are for attacking us, with a sidebar on how good the attacks were because they would humble us. ...The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indomitable spirit that day…and we will forever be grateful to this man for that."
"As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack."
The post brings up how the Obamas should have gone to Ft. Hood, but didn't. It took President Obama 5 days to go visit the victims, and it seems to me, that was only prompted because he was speaking at the memorial service.
"Thank goodness George W. is still on his watch, with wonderful Laura at his side."
"We are blessed as a nation to have these two out there…"
"And we are blessed to have Dick Cheney, wherever he is, keeping tabs on all that's going on and speaking out when the current administration does anything too reckless and dangerous."
"Cheney's someone else we villainized and maligned in the past who we were also wrong about....There has never been a Vice President more spot-on right about the dangers facing this country from Islamic terrorism."
"Thank you for your service, Mr. President. We're sorry we didn't appreciate you while you were in office, but we thank Heaven we've wised up and can see the good you are out there doing, under the radar, today."
Others are realizing You don't know what you've got 'till its gone! From the UK Telegraph, Bloodless President Barack Obama makes Americans wistful for George W Bush:
"In a sign that the Obama honeymoon truly is over, I began to hear this week the first stirrings of a wistfulness about Mr Bush. "I never thought I'd hear myself say it," one Democrat told me. 'But Obama makes you feel that at least with Bush you knew where he was on something.'"If I have learned one thing blogging, it is that if you wait long enough, you will find common ground with those on the opposite side of the political spectrum. I just never expected I would find so much common ground on a Hillary blog. I think HillBuzz has found a new reader!
Other HillBuzz posts I found of interest: Thursday Open Thread, advocates lower taxes, smaller govt. and abolishing ACORN, among other things.
The latest ridiculous attack on Sarah Palin in Chicago: Oprah's audience complains they didn't get any free books
Why can't Jill Biden take Mrs. Utopia [Obama] shopping sometime? "...one of the biggest breaks Mrs. Utopia caught in 2008 is when Mr. Blackwell died. That man could have filled one of his Worst Ever lists with things the current First Lady has worn this week, alone. "
Republicans would be smart to blame Dr. Utopia on the media - and in particular, Oprah

Paula's Volcano Cake
By avaspapa
- Cream mixture:
- 1 8-ounce softened cream cheese
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 2 cups 4X or 10X sugar
- Cake:
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box German chocolate cake mix, prepare by following directions on box
- 10 bite-sized almond and chocolate covered candy or any candy of choice
- Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Step 1
Cream mixture:
Beat ingredients together with an electric mixer. Set aside until ready to use
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2 inch cake pan. Line bottom of greased pan with coconut flakes. Sprinkle pecans on top of coconut. Set aside. Follow directions on back of box to prepare cake. Beat for approximately 2 minutes, using an electric mixer. Fold in bite-sized candy. Pour into cake pan. Evenly space dollops of cream mixture on top of the cake. When the cake cooks, the cream will sink down to the bottom. This will be your "volcano" of flavor. Place in oven for 40 to 45 minutes. While cake is still hot spread the glaze evenly over the cake.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in cocoa powder and add milk until you get a thin consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk. While bringing the butter and milk mixture to a boil, whisk in confectioners' sugar and almond extract. Glaze should be thin. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before using.

February 10: Film Screening of Every War Has Two Losers and meet the Director, Haydn Reiss
Monday, February 10, 7:00 pm at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S State Street. Since 1994, Haydn Reiss has been making a series of documentaries on poets. These include William Stafford & Robert Bly: A Literary Friendship and the award-winning Rumi: Poet of the Heart. Reiss' film, Every War Has Two Losers, was a winner at the 2011 Canadian International Film Festival and an official selection of the 2011 United National Film Festival. His films have aired on PBS and in festivals around the world. In a previous life he worked as the director's assistant on the psychological thriller Jacob's Ladder and on Oliver Stone's JFK. He is currently completing Robert Bly: A Thousand Years of Joy.
William Stafford spent four years during World War II in public service camps as a conscientious objector and started a daily journal that was continued throughout his life. Reiss' film, based on these journals, confronts collective beliefs surrounding war: Why do we believe war is inevitable? Why do we believe it is necessary? Joining Stafford (as voiced by Peter Coyote) are noted activists and literary voices Alice Walker, W.S. Merwin, Maxine Hong Kingston, and others. Together they embark on a search for a wiser and less violent world.

You shouldn't be able to change the theme. The old theme will soon be removed from the board and if anyone is on it when it is removed, that could be a real problem! If anyone is still seeing their name up on the top left of the board with, "Hello, <your board name here>," then let us know IMMEDIATELY so we can correct the problem! Your name should be on the upper RIGHT hand side of the board in the menu.
Is our profile pic and signature, with a lot of white space around and below it, supposed to be centered and at the top of the comment box?

Minutes after Williams spoke, a source confirmed that all of the coaches that had contracts up after this season — specifically hitting coach Greg Walker, pitching coach Don Cooper, bench coach Joey Cora and first base coach Harold Baines — had or were in the process of signing extensions thought to take the staff through 2011.
There were whispers that Williams recently signed an extension that will keep him the Sox GM through 2012 — the same length of Ozzie Guillen's deal — but Williams replied in a text that he would not comment on that.
September 23, 2009
All Sox coaches sign extensions to 2011?

|HIV Infections
|Drug: Emtricitabine Drug: Nevirapine Drug: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
|Not Applicable
Limited access to HIV treatment is a major problem in many parts of the world. If a well tolerated anti-HIV regimen with convenient once-daily dosing is effective in reducing viral load in people with recent or early HIV infection, this regimen could be used globally for controlling HIV. This study will determine the effectiveness of a three-month antiretroviral regimen in reducing viral load in HIV infected adults who were recently infected or have recently seroconverted. This study will recruit participants from Alabama and Tennessee in the United States and in Lusaka, Zambia.
Participants in this study must also be enrolled in the AIEDRP CORE01 study. Participants in this study will be divided into Early and Acute groups. Participants in the Early group will be people who have recently seroconverted; participants in the Acute group will be people with primary HIV infection. All participants will choose to receive the once-daily dosing regimen of emtricitabine, nevirapine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Didanosine, efavirenz, and stavudine may be substituted for other drugs in the regimen at the investigator's discretion. Participants will take the three-drug regimen for 90 days. If a participant's CD4 count is higher than 350 cells/mm3 at Day 90, the participant will stop therapy. If a participant's CD4 count is 350 cells/mm3 or lower at Day 90, or if the participant's CD4 count drops to 350 cells/mm3 or lower while therapy is stopped, the participant will receive an additional 30 days of therapy. This therapy strategy may be repeated as necessary up to Day 180. All participants taking the three-drug regimen will be followed, regardless of whether or not they have taken the regimen beyond Day 90.
In addition to AIEDRP CORE01's study visits, 7 additional study visits will occur at pretreatment, on Day 3, and at Weeks 1, 3, 8, 16, and 20. Blood collection will occur at all study visits. Data from study participants will be compared with data from a historical cohort of previously identified HIV infected adults with acute or early infection who did not receive treatment but were followed prospectively.

Data Sheets
Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Unfortunately no, this device has an intended source and an intended destination. Refer to the title of the webpage for this order.
The DisplayPort to VGA adapter only converts from DisplayPort to VGA, which means that the DisplayPort connection must be the source and the VGA connection must be the destination.
Note: DisplayPort to VGA adapters are active, and can be used with any version of DisplayPort.
When you convert video from a source that uses DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI (for example, a computer to a monitor), you will need to consider the difference between passive and active adapters.
If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion. If the source does not support DP++, then you need to use an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion.
Thunderbolt ports support DP++ natively. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, refer to the Active Adapters section below.
Passive Adapters
Passive adapters are less expensive since they do not need to include additional chips. A quick way to check whether you can use a passive adapter is to see if the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it. The symbol is a D with a P inside of it, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other.
Active Adapters
Active adapters use additional chips to make the conversion inside the adapter, regardless of whether the source supports DP++. This means that active adapters are more expensive than passive adapters.
If you want to use multiple monitors with the same computer, you should use an active adapter because some video cards cannot run the maximum number of monitors while using DP++. This is especially true if the computer has more than one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. Check with your video card manufacturer to confirm which type of adapter you need for the setup that you would like to run.
Note: You should use passive adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, except when you are converting from DisplayPort to VGA, since that type of conversion requires active adapters. For more information on using adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/mst_hubs_passive_vs_active_adapters.
Surface Dock
If you experience issues when you connect passive video signal adapters to the Surface Dock, Microsoft recommends that you use active video signal converters instead. StarTech.com offers an active video signal converter for DVI monitors (MDP2DVIS) and for HDMI monitors (MDP2HD4KS).
Note: This issue does not apply to the Surface Pro 3 Docking Station.
This device is plug and play. It does not use any drivers, and does not require any setup tasks other than plugging in the source (for example, a computer) and the destination (for example, a monitor).

- If using a display with VGA input, use the On-Screen Display menu to perform an auto-adjust of the image.
- Adjust the resolution to be the exact resolution and refresh rate recommended by the display manufacturer.
Check that the device is not being used in reverse.
The display does not support the resolution set within Display Settings. Adjust the resolution to be the exact resolution and refresh rate recommended by the display manufacturer.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video adapter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video adapter
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video adapter from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video adapter.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, adapter, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Try the following:
- Check that the monitor's video port works with another source.
- Check that the cables between the source and the destination work with other equipment.
- Check whether the video adapter works with another source and another destination.
The error "Out of Range" normally means that the resolution being output by the computer is not compatible with the display. Try lowering the resolution to see if that helps resolve the issue. You may need to connect another monitor or restart the computer or source to accomplish this.
This is likely a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) issue. If you are converting a video signal from a device that can play copyright-protected content, HDCP will block the conversion to an analog signal (for example, VGA) or to any video capture cards.
You will likely run into this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles. For more information on HDCP and gaming consoles, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/video_capture_cards_video_game_console_compatibility.
Some video cards also output an HDCP signal full time. In this case there should be an option for your video card to disable this feature. You might need to contact the manufacturer of your video card for more information.
Adhering to HDCP is required for converting all digital signals to analog signals or to video capture cards. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do in these situations other than convert to a digital display.

Do Wealthy Kids Live at Home Longer?
The trend toward more adults living with their parents is usually framed as a problem of the middle class. With little money or job prospects, and lots of student loans, today's working-class kids have little choice but to move back in with mom and dad.
But a new study in Australia suggests that wealthy kids may actually be living at home longer than their non-wealthy and even poor counterparts.
According to the study, young adults from privileged backgrounds are more likely to live at home than their less privileged peers. The study found that 75% of 20-year-olds from privileged backgrounds still lived at home. By contrast, more than a third of 20-year-olds from welfare families no longer depended on their parents.
It all boils down to whether the family can provide support or not, according to the study, by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research.
"Some families lack the necessary resources," said Deborah Cobb-Clark, the director of the Institute and co-author of the study, "while others may simply be unwilling to continue to support their children after they reach adulthood."
This makes sense, of course. You're more likely to move back home to the McMansion if mom and dad also give you use of the AmEx and Mercedes. Add to that the problem of the age gap in wealth and issues of motivation for kids who've had everything growing up, and you've got a recipe for lots of affluent kids seeking refuge back home rather than being unemployed on their own.
This is probably not as true for the super-rich, of course. They can afford to buy their kids $88 million dorm rooms. (Though the kids are still "financially dependent" even if they live apart).
Do you think wealthy kids are more likely to live at home than non-wealthy kids?

Arias returns to witness stand in murder trial
Testimony in the case of a woman accused of killing her lover turned into a one-sided shouting match Tuesday between Jodi Arias and a prosecutor grilling her over memory problems, with Arias saying his aggressive demeanor and posture was causing her to forget crucial details or provide concise answers.
"I'm not having a problem telling the truth," Arias softly told prosecutor Juan Martinez, who stammered with his response, his voice growing louder.
"But you are having a problem answering my questions, right?" Martinez snapped back.
In stark contrast to her testimony under questioning by her own lawyers, during which she alternated between poise and tears and recalled precise details of practically her entire life dating back years, Arias recalls virtually nothing under questioning by Martinez.
She often responds to his questions by saying, "Sure," to which Martinez loudly snaps backs that he is merely looking for a yes or no answer.
The barbs have led to numerous private conferences between attorneys and the judge as defense lawyers repeatedly object to Martinez's aggressiveness, accusing him of badgering the witness.
Later Tuesday, Martinez focused on how Arias had broken up with previous boyfriends who she learned had cheated on her, as she says she did with Travis Alexander, yet has testified during the trial how Alexander had complete control over her.
"So when you decide something, you can do it right?" Martinez asked.
"Yes," Arias replied.
Arias is charged in the June 2008 death of her lover in his suburban Phoenix home. She says she dated Alexander for about five months before breaking up with him but continued to see him for sex up until the day she killed him. She says she was forced to fight for her life after Alexander attacked her, but police say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Testimony began in early January.
Arias spent Monday calmly trying to explain away her lies as the prosecutor hammered her about not being honest with authorities, friends or family, even sending the victim's grandmother flowers after she killed him, all in an attempt to throw off suspicion and avoid being charged.
Arias says she was scared and ashamed when she initially told authorities and others that she had nothing to do with the killing, then later blamed it on masked intruders before eventually settling on self-defense.
Arias has said Alexander invited her to his Mesa home on the day of the killing for sex. His body was found about five days later. He had been shot in the head, suffered 27 stab and slash wounds and his throat was slit.
Of the day of Alexander's death, Arias says he was in a rage, body slamming her and chasing her around his home. She said she grabbed a gun from his closet, and fired it as they tussled, but doesn't recall stabbing him. She says she then remembers putting a knife in the dishwasher and disposing of the gun in the desert as she drove from Arizona to see a man in Utah, where she spent the night in his bed kissing and cuddling as she worked to create an alibi and avoid suspicion in the killing.
Arias' grandparents reported a .25 caliber handgun stolen from their Northern California house about a week before the killing - the same caliber used to shoot Alexander - but Arias says she knows nothing about the burglary. She says she brought no weapons to Alexander's home on the day she killed him, undercutting the prosecution's theory of premeditation.

(source: Iceberg Slim- Pimp, The story of my life)
The section of the novel that contains the expression:
That cocaine had her speed rapping. I couldn't cop her tonight unless I croaked Scarface. My plans had to change. I had to unhook her from Leroy soon. She'd make bales of scratch. Maybe I could work an angle to get her and a slice of that settlement. Of course, I couldn't wait forever. If I had to, I'd cop without a slice of the settlement.
I knew Leroy was going to blow her. He didn't have a chance to hold much longer with that ugly face and that jealous bit. I had to find out if she would level with me all the way. Silas had told me she was an ex-whore.
Slim tries to convince an ex-prostitue to get back in the business and be his whore. He gives her cocaine and amkes her telling him her whole life. Slim realizes as the main problem that the girl is married, however his husband has a distorted face due to an accident and a jealousy mania. He considers also important if the girl would level with him all the way
Could someone explain me what Slim does mean by that?
If she levels with him all the way, she is completely honest and open, hiding nothing.

Borana Lodge
Unique Experiences in the Land of the Endangered
In the Laikipia region the diversity of large mammals is higher than in any other part of Kenya. Laikipia hosts the highest populations of endangered species: black rhino (half of Kenya's total population), Grevy's zebra (70% of the world's population), reticulated giraffe, the only viable population of Lelwel hartebeest in the country and Africa's only expanding population of wild dog. Borana Lodge is set on a hillside overlooking panoramic views over the Samangua Valley and the Lewa Plains to the Ngare Ndare Forest and Mount Kenya beyond, along with a lake which attracts herds of elephants, buffalo and often prides of lion. Borana Lodge offers eight romantic and unique cottages, each with an open fireplace and private veranda. Each cottage is entirely secluded with private views from bedroom and bathroom. The rooms all have their own fireplace, which are lit every evening. The lodge is designed to work in harmony with the landscape and is created from local, sustainable building materials. All food is freshly prepared in the kitchen. Borana sources as many ingredients as possible from their farm produce and kitchen garden. Communal dining is encouraged, however private dinners can be arranged on request. The Lodge has a fleet of radio-linked, custom-built, four-wheel-drive, open-sided vehicles that are driven by knowledgeable driver/guides. Since Borana is private property, there are no game park rules and no one else will ever obscure your view of the big game that lives here. Night game drives - when most animals are active - are very popular, allowing guests an insight into the nocturnal life of the bush that is denied them in most of the parks. Other activities on offer include guided wildlife, birdlife and scenic walks, horse riding, mountain biking, sundowners, picnics, bush dinners, ranch days and use of the swimming pool. Optional activities at an extra charge include visits to local villages, certain riding & fishing excursions, scenic helicopter flights, and massage treatments by advance request.
