Please grab some friends, and join us for the inaugural Kal-Haven Curling Cup on February 19 in South Haven, and on April 13 in Kalamazoo. The idea behind it is pure fun, with the hopes that it generates enthusiasm for the sport in each city, and perhaps gives people in each city a feel for the fun that might be had at a bonspiel. South Haven has an outdoor skating rink, where they have installed some curling sheets. They've shortened the regulation curling sheets to fit on their rink, but it's certainly helping to expand the sport in southwest Michigan.
We're looking for 4 teams from each city for each event. Here's the details:
South Haven – Sunday, February 19
9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
$5 per player / $20 per team
Kalamazoo – Friday, April 13
7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
$25 per player / $80 per team
Yes, you read that correctly. $5 for the curling in South Haven. It's their rink. They get to decide the prices. Don't argue with them. There are still more details to come, but the likely scenario is the chance to play one game in South Haven (they only have stones for two sheets), and play two 5-end matches in Kalamazoo.
If you're interested, download the registration form. We need people to sign up ASAP for the South Haven portion… and spaces will likely fill up quickly for the Kalamazoo portion. If you have questions, contact Jason Hall: firstname.lastname@example.com
Blog posts have been a bit few and far between now that curling season has slipped into history, and the first day of summer has officially arrived… but there are a few things worth letting you all know about.
First, Wings Stadium will be hosting open curling on the LAST Monday in June, July and August. The time and price are the same as always: 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with a cost of $10 per person (12 and under are free). Let us know that you're planning on going by E-mail or on the Facebook event page.
Also, our friends at the Fort Wayne Curling Club, down Indiana way, are hosting a summer bonspiel on the 21st and 22nd of August. We would love to send some ambassadors from the Kalamazoo area down to their first attempt at a bonspiel — it may offer some inspiration and ideas for a future Kalamazoo Curling Club event! If you are interested in helping to form a team, send an E-mail and we'll help get you in touch with other people who express an interest. We have offered to loan them two sets of rocks for their bonspiel (they plan on having 8 sheets available for play), so we really would like to send a group down there to accompany our rocks.
Fall and Winter league information will be available here very soon. We want to get you signed up for 2010-11 curling fun. We have tentative plans for continued curling on Friday nights (broken up into two sessions, as before) and an expanded "Super League" on Monday nights (longer season that covers the entire curling season). Our Beginners' Leagues were very successful, and we are planning on incorporating those into our 2010-11 season as well.
We have officially be designated as a non-profit organization, so we will also be ramping up the fundraising for our coming season. We're hoping to get our rock sponsorship program going very soon, too.
So that's what's going on this summer… we'll keep you posted as we have more developments in the next few weeks.
The day has finally come… it is the end of our tournament here in Kalamazoo… and time to send two teams off to the world championships The women will head off to Swift Current, SK, Canada; The men will head off to Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
It's been a fantastic week, and we can't express enough enthusiasm and appreciation at the VOLUNTEER officials who came from all over the country… the VOLUNTEER ice crew that came from far and near… all the other VOLUNTEERS who made this event possible… and, of course, to all the fantastic, fun, good-spirited athletes that were at the center of this all… We have truly enjoyed hosting you this week, and look forward to seeing you again… on the ice! Thank you! Great curling!
With that, we offer you the final edition of The Early Draw, and a link to the live web stream of the final matches: ladies at 10 AM EST, and men at 3 PM EST.

This study examines the police organization of the Hamilton community and the nature of its relationship with its urban environment during the nineteenth century. The central theme of this thesis states that with increasing urbanization there has been a corresponding increase in society's reliance upon formal mechanisms of control. For the purpose of the study the police organization has been defined as an example of such a mechanism of social control operating within the urban setting and it is argued that the development of this organization has paralleled the growth of the city. The examination of the Hamilton community during the nineteenth century, a period of increasing urbanization and industrialization, provides a means for analysis of the nature of the relationship between this particular police organization and an increasingly urbanizing environment.
Furthermore, it is suggested that since the development and growth of the police organization occurs over time, it must of necessity be studied as an historical process and consideration must be given to the concept of change and to the influence of social, political, and structural variables within the urban community environment.
This analysis of the police within the Hamilton setting is meant to outline one perspective that will aid in the further understanding of the development and use of this particular mechanism of formal control. It is hoped that from this point of departure possible alternatives for additional study will emerge for the further examination and analysis of the nature and process of social order and the utilization of both formal and informal mechanisms of social control in the twentieth century.

Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act

The Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act is modeled on the federal False Claims Act, and cases brought under one statute are often brought in conjunction with claims under the other. Violation of the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act exposes an individual for civil penalties up to three times the total damages to the state. Further, the Act imposes civil penalties ranging between $5,500 – $11,000 for each individual false claim in violation of the Act.
A private individual with direct knowledge of a Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act violation is authorized to file a suit under the Act's qui tam provisions. The qui tam relator, often referred to as a "whistleblower," may proceed with the action regardless of whether the government chooses to intervene.
Whistleblowers involved in successful judgments or settlements may receive up to 25 percent of the civil penalties recovered by the state government. If the state government has chosen not to intervene, the whistleblower may receive up to 30 percent of the available recovery. Further, the Act provides the whistleblower with protection against employer retaliation, offering reinstatement, double back pay with interest, and compensation for any special damages including attorneys' fees if the employee lawfully acted in furtherance of an action under the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act, including investigation of the violation, testimony or assistance in the action, or efforts to stop the violation.
Persons with information about fraud on the state of Delaware are urged to preserve their rights by consulting an attorney and filing a case as soon as possible. A disclosure to the Delaware state government pursuant to 6 Del. C. § 1206 may preserve a person's rights as an original source of the information about fraud.
As of July 2013, the text of the state FCA statute below is believed to be a complete, current version of the statute currently in force. Nonetheless, attorneys and qui tam relators should rely on the most up to date version of the state's laws.
The Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act
6 Del. C. § 1201 et seq.
§ 1201. Liability for certain acts.
(a) Any person who:
(1) Knowingly presents, or causes to be presented to an officer or employee of the Government a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval;
(2) Knowingly makes, uses or causes to be made or used a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the Government;
(3) Conspires to defraud the Government by getting a false or fraudulent claim allowed or paid;
(4) Has possession, custody or control of property or money used or to be used by the Government and, intending to defraud the Government or wilfully to conceal the property, delivers or causes to be delivered, less property than the amount for which the person receives a certificate or receipt;
(5) Is authorized to make or deliver a document certifying receipt of property used or to be used by the Government and, intending to defraud the Government, makes or delivers the receipt without completely knowing that the information on the receipt is true;
(6) Knowingly buys, or receives as a pledge of an obligation or debt, public property from an officer or employee of the Government who may not lawfully sell or pledge the property; or
(7) Knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used a false record or statement to conceal, avoid, or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the Government
shall be liable to the Government for a civil penalty of not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000 for each act constituting a violation of this section, plus 3 times the amount of damages which the Government sustains because of the act of that person.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the court may assess not less than 2 times the amount of damages which the Government sustains because of the act of the person, if:
(1) The person committing the violation of this subsection furnished officials of the Government responsible for investigating false claims violations with all information known to such person about the violation within 30 days after the date on which the defendant first obtained the information;
(2) Such person fully cooperated with any government investigation of such violations; and
(3) At the time such person furnished the Government with the information about the violation, no criminal prosecution, civil action, investigation or administrative action had commenced under this title with respect to such violation, and the person did not have actual knowledge of the existence of an investigation into such violations.
A person violating this subsection shall also be liable for the costs of a civil action brought to recover any such penalty or damages, including payment of reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
(c) The Superior Court shall have jurisdiction of all offenses under this chapter.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, §§ 1-4.;
§ 1202. Definitions.
As used in this chapter
(1) "Claim" includes any request or demand, whether under a contract or otherwise, for money or property which is made to a contractor, grantee or other recipient where the Government provides any portion of the money or property which is requested or demanded, or where the Government will reimburse such contractor, grantee or other recipient for any portion of the money or property which is requested or demanded.
(2) "Government" includes all departments, boards or commissions of the executive branch of the State, all political subdivisions of the State, the Delaware Department of Transportation and all state and municipal authorities, all organizations created by or pursuant to a statute which declares in substance that such organization performs or has for its purpose the performance of an essential governmental function, and all organizations, entities or persons receiving funds of the State where the act complained of pursuant to this chapter relates to the use of such funds of the State.
(3) "Knowing" and "knowingly" mean that a person, with respect to information:
a. Has actual knowledge of the information;
b. Acts in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information; or
c. Acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information, and no proof of specific intent to defraud is required.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, §§ 5, 6.;
§ 1203. Civil actions for false claims.
(a) Responsibilities of the Attorney General. — The Attorney General shall diligently investigate suspected violations under this chapter. If the Attorney General finds that a person has violated or is violating the provisions of this chapter, the Attorney General may bring a civil action under this section against the person.
(b) Private actions. –
(1) A private civil action may be brought by any person or labor organization as defined by § 1107A(d) of Title 19 (hereinafter "private party" or "party") for a violation of this chapter on behalf of the party bringing suit and for the government. The action shall be brought in the name of the government. The action may be dismissed only if the court and the Department of Justice give written consent to the dismissal and their reasons for consenting.
(2) A copy of the complaint and written disclosure of substantially all material evidence and information the private party possesses shall be served on the Department of Justice pursuant to Rules 4 and 5 of the Superior Court Civil Rules. The complaint shall be filed in camera and shall remain under seal for at least 60 days. The complaint shall not be served on the defendant until the expiration of 60 days or any extension approved under paragraph (b)(3) of this section. Within 60 days after receiving a copy of the complaint, the Department of Justice shall conduct an investigation of the factual allegations and legal contentions made in the complaint. The Department of Justice may elect to intervene and proceed with the action within 60 days after it receives the complaint, the material evidence and information.
(3) The Department of Justice may, for good cause shown, move the court for extensions of the time during which the complaint remains under seal under paragraph (b)(2) of this section. Any such motion may be supported by affidavits or other submissions in camera. The defendant shall not be required to respond to any complaint filed under this section until 20 days after the complaint is unsealed and served upon the defendant pursuant to Rule 4 of the Superior Court Civil Rules.
(4) Before the expiration of the 60-day period or any extensions obtained under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, or within 20 days of being notified by the court that the seal has expired, the Department of Justice shall:
a. Proceed with the action, in which case the action shall be conducted by the Department of Justice; or
b. Notify the court that it declines to take over the action, in which case the private party bringing the action shall have the right to conduct the action.
(5) When a party brings an action under this subsection, under the federal False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.), or under any similar provision of the law of any other state, no party other than the Department of Justice may intervene or bring a related action based on the facts underlying the pending action.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, §§ 7-12.;
§ 1204. Rights of the parties to qui tam actions.
(a) If the Department of Justice proceeds with the action, it shall have the primary responsibility for prosecuting the action, and shall not be bound by an act of the party bringing the action. Such party shall have the right to continue as a party to the action, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (e) of this section.
(b) The Department of Justice may dismiss the action notwithstanding the objections of the party initiating the action if the party has been notified by the Department of Justice of the filing of the motion and the court has provided the party with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion.
(c) The Department of Justice may settle the action with the defendant notwithstanding the objections of the party initiating the action if the court determines after a hearing that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate and reasonable under all the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause, such hearing may be held in camera.
(d) If the Department of Justice elects not to proceed with the action, the party who initiated the action shall have the right to conduct the action. If the Department of Justice so requests, it shall be served with copies of the pleadings filed in the action and shall be supplied with copies of all deposition transcripts (at the Department of Justice's expense). When a party proceeds with the action, the court, without limiting the status and rights of the party initiating the action, may nevertheless permit the Department of Justice to intervene at a later date upon a showing of good cause.
(e) Whether or not the Department of Justice proceeds with the action, upon a showing by the Department of Justice that certain actions of discovery by the party initiating the action would interfere with the Department of Justice's investigation or prosecution of a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts, the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera. The court may extend the 60-day period upon a further showing in camera that the Department of Justice has pursued the criminal or civil investigation or proceedings with reasonable diligence and any proposed discovery in the civil action will interfere with the ongoing criminal or civil investigation or proceedings.
(f) Notwithstanding § 1203(b) of this title, the Department of Justice may elect to pursue its claim through any available alternate remedy, including any administrative proceeding to determine a civil money penalty. If any such alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the party initiating the action shall have the same rights in such proceeding as such party would have had if the action had continued under this chapter; provided however, that no insurer subject to the insurance fraud provisions of Chapter 24 of Title 18 shall have a cause of action pursuant to this chapter. Any finding of fact or conclusion of law made in such other proceeding that has become final shall be conclusive on all parties to an action under this chapter. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a finding or conclusion is final if it has been fully determined on appeal to the appropriate court, if all time for filing such appeal with respect to the finding or conclusion has expired, or if the finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, §§ 13-18.;
§ 1205. Award to qui tam plaintiff.
(a) If the Department of Justice proceeds with an action brought by a party under § 1203(b) of this title, such party shall, subject to the second sentence of this subsection, receive at least 15 percent but not more than 25 percent of the proceeds of the action or settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to which the party substantially contributed to the prosecution of the action. Where the action is one which the court finds to be based primarily on disclosures of specific information (other than information provided by the party bringing the action) relating to allegations or transactions in a criminal, civil or administrative hearing, or from the news media, the court may award such sums as it considers appropriate, but in no case more than 10 percent of the proceeds, taking into account the significance of the information and the role of the party bringing the action in advancing the case to litigation. Any payment to a party under the first or second sentence of this paragraph shall be made from the proceeds. Any such party shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. In determining the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, the court shall consider, without limitation, whether such fees and costs were necessary to the prosecution of the action, were incurred for activities which were duplicative of the activities of the Department of Justice in prosecuting the case, or were repetitious, irrelevant or for purposes of harassment, or caused the defendant undue burden or unnecessary expense. All such expenses, fees and costs shall be awarded against the defendant.
(b) If the Department of Justice does not proceed with an action under this chapter, the party bringing the action or settling the claim shall receive an amount which the court decides is reasonable for collecting the civil penalty and damages. The amount shall be not less than 25 percent and not more than 30 percent of the proceeds of the action or settlement and shall be paid out of such proceeds. Such party shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. In determining the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, the court shall consider, without limitation, whether such fees and costs were necessary to the prosecution of the action, were incurred for activities which were repetitious, irrelevant or for purposes of harassment, or caused the defendant undue burden or unnecessary expense. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be awarded against the defendant.
(c) Whether or not the Department of Justice proceeds with the action, if the court finds that the action was brought by a party who planned and initiated the violation upon which the action was brought, then the court may, to the extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share of the proceeds of the action which the party would otherwise receive under subsection (a) or (b) of this section, taking into account the role of that party in advancing the case to litigation and any relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If the party bringing the action is convicted of criminal conduct arising from that party's own role in the violation of this chapter, that party shall be dismissed from the civil action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of the action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right of the Department of Justice to continue the action on behalf of the government.
(d) If the Department of Justice does not proceed with the action and the person bringing the action conducts the action, the court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses if the defendant prevails in the action and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing the action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or brought primarily for purposes of harassment.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 70 Del. Laws, c. 186, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, §§ 19-22.;
§ 1206. Certain actions barred.
(a) No court shall have jurisdiction of an action brought pursuant to this chapter against a State Government official if the action is substantially based on evidence or information known to the Government when the action was brought.
(b) In no event may a party bring an action under this chapter which is substantially based upon allegations or transactions which are the subject of a civil suit or an administrative proceeding in which the Government is already a party.
(c) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action under this chapter based upon the public disclosure of allegations or actions in a criminal civil or administrative hearing, or from the news media, unless the action is brought by the Attorney General or the party bringing the action is an original source of this information.
For purposes of this subsection, "original source" means an individual who has direct and independent knowledge of the information on which the allegations are based and has voluntarily provided the information to the Attorney General before filing an action under this chapter that is based on the information.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, § 23.;
§ 1207. Government not liable for certain expenses.
No Government shall be liable for expenses which a party incurs in bringing an action under this chapter.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1.;
§ 1208. Employee protection.
(a) Any employee who is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment by that employee's employer because of lawful acts done by the employee on behalf of the employee or others in furtherance of an action under this chapter, including investigation for, initiation of, testimony for or assistance in an action filed or to be filed under this chapter, shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole. Such relief shall include reinstatement with the same seniority status such employee would have had but for the discrimination, 2 times the amount of back pay, interest on the back pay, and compensation for any special damages sustained as a result of the discrimination, including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. An employee may bring an action in the appropriate court of the State for the relief provided in this subsection.
(b) It shall be the duty of every employer of more than 15 employees to post and maintain in a place accessible to its employees and where they normally pass a summary of this chapter upon request and without charge. Such summaries shall be provided by the Delaware Department of Justice to the Delaware Department of Labor for distribution. As an alternative to posting, such employer may establish written policies for all employees that provide an explanation of state and federal False Claims Act [this chapter and 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.] provisions and a resource for obtaining additional information about the law.
72 Del. Laws, c. 370, § 1; 70 Del. Laws, c. 186, § 1; 77 Del. Laws, c. 166, § 24.;
§ 1209. False claims and reporting procedure.
(a) A civil action under this chapter may not be brought:

Christmas cakes
This Christmas I made two gluten free Christmas cakes: the top one for my family and me and the second as a gift for a very dear friend of mine.
I loved the print on my Cath Kidston Christmas cards of a snowy pastel coloured village and used it as inspiration for my cake. I made the houses out of coloured roll-on icing using square and triangle cutters. The tree was made using star cutters.
Happy Holidays!

Zumba lovers unite to observe National Dance Day
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD - So you think you can get your dance moves on TV?
Owner Hali Panzak and her fellow instructors at Come On Get Happy Zumba Fitness studio in Historic Cocoa Village think they can, which is why they are reaching out to local Zumba enthusiasts to perform a dance routine on Saturday, July 28, which is National Dance Day. They hope the routine will be televised on the hit FOX dance competition show, "So You Think You Can Dance."
Implemented in 2010 by the executive director behind the TV show, National Dance Day promotes healthy lifestyles by encouraging the nation to move, according to www.fox.com/dance. Each year, people around the country have learned choreographed routines released by "So You Think You Can Dance" and have submitted videos of their performances in hopes that their moves will be aired on the show.
Previously, the routines have been too difficult and not Zumba specific, so Ms. Panzak has yet to attempt her Latin-inspired dance style on TV.
"This is the first year they asked Zumba Fitness to create a dance routine," Ms. Panzak said. "I knew I wanted to spearhead a local campaign to get everyone to learn it and perform it on July 28, the third annual National Dance Day."
In order to get the Space Coast involved, Ms. Panzak said local dance lovers should learn the routine, then join the Come On Get Happy crew at the grassy area in front of the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame, 6225 Vectorspace Blvd., in Titusville at 3 p.m.
"Everyone and anyone can learn the routine by viewing the online videos or attending a Zumba class, hopefully anywhere in Brevard," Ms. Panzak said. "I cannot speak for all Zumba instructors, but we will be teaching them seven days a week at Come On Get Happy."
"I showed the moves to our Zumba class for seniors, and they learned it very quickly," she said. "Anyone can do it."
She said Brevard's response to Zumba throughout the years has been amazing, as hundreds of people attend classes at the studio and Zumba events throughout the county.
"People are enjoying exercise for the first time in years," she said. "Dancing fills your heart with joy, plus it is the best form of cardio activity. It is time to show the nation that the Space Coast loves to Zumba."
Come On Get Happy is at 217 King Street in Historic Cocoa Village.
For more information about the local event, or to learn the routine online, visit www.gethappystudio.com or call (321) 636-4277.

OverviewWhile Mitchell Peak doesn't attract the same attention or unconsciously draw the eye in the same way as the jagged peaks of the Cirque of the Towers, its immensity dominates the eastern end of the Cirque above Jackass Pass, and it's probably the most popular "walk-up" summit in the area. Its South Slopes, according to Finis Mitchell himself, "a ten year old kid could walk up". Mitchell Peak, along with Dogtooth Mountain and Big Sandy Mountain form a high northwest-southeast ridge on the Continental Divide. The distinction between these points on the ridge is probably more apparent from the north, where enormous rock faces drop to the North Fork of the Popo Agie River. From Lonesome Lake, the 1000 ft North Face of Mitchell Peak gives this mountain a more inspiring appearance. This face had its first ascent in 1960 by a group including Yvon Chouinard and the amazing Fred Beckey, and this III 5.7 route is the easiest on this aspect of the mountain. From the summit one can see most of the major peaks in the range, including a great perspective on the Cirque of the Towers peaks and Lizard Head, and if you have good eyes as far as Fremont and Gannett Peak 30 miles to the north. The first recorded ascent in 1923 was via the South Slopes by mountains' namesake, Finis Mitchell (1901-1995).
Finis MitchellA mountain is the best medicine for a troubled mind. Seldom does man ponder his own insignificance. He thinks he is master of all things. He thinks the world is his without bonds. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Only when he tramps the mountains alone, communing with nature, observing other insignificant creatures about him, to come and go as he will, does he awaken to his own short-lived presence on earth.
- Finis Mitchell, from Wind River Trails
Finis Mitchell's wandering, climbing, and popularization of the Wind River Range contributed significantly to the history of the range. A list of his accomplishments and contributions to the Wind River Range include hiking and climbing in these mountains in each of 9 decades during the 20th century. He climbed 'his' mountain (Mitchell Peak) at least 11 times, in addition to climbing hundreds of other mountains in the Wind River Range (apparently all but about 40 summits) making dozens of first ascents throughout the range, and experiencing the very rare privilege of having a mountain named for him while he was still alive. The naming of this mountain actually required an act of Congress. The mountain is visible from Big Sandy Opening where he started a fishing camp in 1929 that evolved into the current Big Sandy Lodge. There is a bronze commemorative plaque on the summit (the only such plaque in the range) dedicated to him.
Finis (rhymes with 'highness') came over South Pass with his family in a horse-drawn carriage to homestead. They homesteaded at Big Sandy opening. Finis moved to Rock Springs as an adult to work for the Union Pacific railroad. He stocked over a thousand lakes in the range by hand before state game and fish existed and before it was done by plane. If you catch a fish in the Winds, it's because Finis put it there. While hunting with his dad he climbed his first mountain and was hooked. Most of the walk-ups in the southern end and several in the northern are first ascents of his. He was the friendliest guy when you ran into him - and in his later years stood out because you don't usually see guys of that age in the deep mountains. The day I climbed 'his' peak I ran into him. He asked where we going and it was strange to say 'Mitchell Peak'! He absolutely loved to share the Winds with everyone and was an avid photographer (some say there are 70,000 photos). He would often travel around the state showing slides at student functions at the University, at regional Elks Clubs, etc. and could answer any question about every photo. That was his big deal, showing those slides to goups and politicians from Cheyenne. On the trail he would point out your rope and want to make sure you were being safe. Apparently, he prefered the walk-ups (the few that exist in the Winds) but jumped at the chance to go up peaks such as Gannett when a knowledgeable partner was present. His book has thankfully remained in print, is still the preferred trail guide, and is an entertaining read. (contributed by jimmyjay)
Wind River RangeWyoming's Wind River Range runs southeast from its intersection with the Absaroka Mountains at Togwotee Pass to South Pass, where the Continental Divide yields to the rolling hills and sagebrush desert of the Great Divide Basin. Nearly the entire range is wilderness totaling roughly 1 million acres, without a single road crossing or even entering the entire range. This necessitates multi-day approaches for most peaks or climbs. The range contains 43 of Wyoming's 50 highest peaks, including most of its thirteen thousand foot peaks. The range was deeply chiseled by glaciers during the Ice Ages, resulting in many steep-walled cirques and river valleys, as well as massive lakes such as Green River Lakes, Fremont Lake, and New Fork Lake where the glaciers pushed out of the high country into the surrounding plains. The glaciers still linger primarily on the leeward side of the divide in the northern part of the range, and are some of the largest remaining in the U.S. Rockies. Much of the rock in the range is solid granite and metamorphic providing abundant opportunities for rock climbing if you're willing to undertake the approaches.
Getting ThereBig Sandy Opening Trailhead:
This trailhead is on the western side of the range and provides the shortest approach to Mitchell Peak. Reaching this trailhead requires negotiating nearly 40 miles of washboard dirt roads before you even begin hiking. A good description for reaching this trailhead can be found on Alan Ellis' Cirque of the Towers Page. This is a very popular trailhead in the summer, and it's common to see more than 50 cars here. Using this trailhead, the total distance to the mountain is about 8 miles.
Big Sandy Trail:
Follow the Big Sandy Trail about 7 easy miles to Big Sandy Lake. This lake is VERY popular, so don't come here if you're looking for solitude. The Lonesome Lake and Deep Lake areas also make popular base camps.
Dickinson Park Trailhead:
This trailhead is on the eastern side of the range. In the past 30 years, WR Reservation policy for the Dickinson Park Road has varied from a)open to the public b)open to the publc carrying a tribal fishing permit or c)closed to the public. It is currently (Sept., 2005) open without permit requirement. There is also a tribal outfitter working out of Mocassin Lake. If outfitted, you can use the Mocassin Lake trailhead which is the most direct access to Grave Lake and saves going over Bear Ears Pass. (contributed by jimmyjay)
To reach this trailhead, follow the unmarked but only paved road heading west from Fort Washakie. The road turns to dirt after a few miles and is rough, which makes for very slow driving, but it is still passable in 2WD vehicles. Follow this for about 20 miles to the trailhead at end of the road. Using this trailhead, the total distance to mountain is about 15 miles.
North Fork Trail: Follow the North Fork Trail for 13 miles as it drops into the deep valley of the North Popo Agie River and follows this valley until Lonesome Lake. This trail crosses the river 4 times, although only the third crossing is tricky (waist-deep with a fast current) in early summer.
Routes OverviewThere are several routes available on Mitchell Peak, ranging in difficulty from class 2+ to difficult aid climbing.
South Slopes
This is the easiest route on the mountain and is rated class 2+.
See the Route Page for details.
West Slopes
With careful routefinding, a class 3 route can be found accessing the northwest shoulder from Jackass Pass.
Northeast Slopes
This is a good snow climb early season and is also a good summer route. It is rated class 3 and follows the steep grass slopes above Lizard Head Meadows.
North Face Standard Route
This was the original route up the north face and is rated 5.7. See the route diagram for details.
Other routes on the mountain are the North Ledge (Class 3-class 5), North Face Center-Ecclesiastes (5.9), North Face Right (5.8 A2), and the Northwest Face (5.10).
Red TapeMitchell Peak is located on the junction of the Bridger Wilderness in Bridger-Teton National Forest, the Popo Agie Wilderness in Shoshone National Forest. Standard wilderness regulations apply, i.e. no motorized vehicles, bicycles, etc. Camping is free anywhere in the backcountry, although camping within 100 yards of streams and lakes is prohibited and open fires are prohibited above treeline. The practice of low-impact camping techniques is critical in this extremely popular area. Water should be filtered or sterilized before drinking as some of these lakes have been found to be contaminated with human fecal matter. While there are no grizzlies in this part of the range (yet?), precautions should be taken to minimize encounters with black bears such as hanging food and cooking away from the area where you sleep. There have been recent maulings by black bears in this area due to poor camp hygiene.
CampingVehicle Access Campsites
There is a nice campground near the trailhead that usually has space on most summer weekends. The fees as of 2013 are $7 per night.
There are also many informal campgrounds within the national forest lands en-route to the trailhead.
Backcountry Campsites
There are many campsites between Big Sandy Entrance and Big Sandy Lake.
The most popular campsites along the approach are Big Sandy Lake and Cirque of the Towers. Because you must camp 200 feet from the lakes and 200 feet from the trails, campsites can be at a premium during holiday weekends.
Make sure to take proper bear precautions in all of these areas. Make sure to use low impact techniques, especially near or above timberline as the alpine areas are fragile.
When To ClimbSummer is the most common season for hiking, mountaineering, and climbing. While mountaineering and ski touring are possible in the winter and spring, the multi-day approaches and wilderness flavor make this a pursuit of only a hardy few. Expect plenty of other backpackers, horsepackers, and climbers in this very popular area. Summer also brings hordes of mosquitoes that will drive you crazy. They're not as bad when you're moving, but can make cooking and pumping water miserable. Mosquito repellant containing DEET is partially effective. By September the mosquitoes are mostly gone for the year. There is still a lot of snow in the high meadows in late June and early July, and this is the worst time for mosquitoes.

Below is the National Weather Service Climate Summary of South Pass City. The data is from 1915-2012. This is the closest long term weather station, but be aware that higher elevations will be much wetter and colder. South Pass City is at 7850 feet elevation, so expect the temperatures on the higher elevations of East Temple Peak to be 15-20 degrees colder than in South Pass City (except for cold winter nights).

Toward A Mission Statement For Academic Advising
Wichita State University faculty and staff advisors work to promote progressive student responsibility, commitment to the pursuit of intellectual foundations, major clarification, disciplinary competence, academic success and preparation for career advancement. A major intent of academic advising is to challenge and encourage our students to participate in Wichita State's Metropolitan Advantage and to THRIVE in the WSU campus and Wichita communities and beyond.
This Handbook has been prepared specifically to assist you with your work in academic advising. Several biases influenced the preparation of this handbook:
We trust that you will find this Handbook to be a valuable resource. You may want to photocopy or print a page to give to a student. Comments and suggestions to improve its usefulness are encouraged and should be sent to Bob Rozzelle, I.T. Director, LAS Advising Center, Box 6, WSU-3700.
You can also email me: email@example.com
Wichita State University is the academic home for approximately 15,000 students each semester. Each of these students brings unique potentials which can be enhanced through relationship with an academic advisor. Each also bring s family and community responsibilities, careers and academic expectations which usually add up to more than 100% of available time, energy and resources.
Because of this we, in our role as faculty advisors, have unique opportunities to assist students in meeting these demands, challenges, stresses and opportunities constructively and creatively.
The academic advising relationship is a vehicle we can use to share ourselves, our knowledge and our experience in a more personal way than is possible in the more formal class atmosphere. Good academic advising can help the student bridge the gaps between personal, academic and career requirements. Supported by good advising, students will clarify, plan, implement and monitor a program of study consistent with their values, goals, interests and abilities. This will lead to success and satisfaction in their personal, academic and career lives.
When students meet with their advisors, they come with varying needs and expectations. Generally WSU students want the following in advising:
Effective advising will enhance the likelihood of the following:
The elemental core of good academic advising, as in good classroom teaching, is the care and competence that you, as advisor, bring to the relationship with students to help them develop their unique potentials.
The Advising Process
Academic success and persistence are enhanced by an academic advising process which includes:
Academic advising is more than class schedule building. The shared relationship between student and advisor is an essential part of the University experience. As with any good relationship, each must contribute to make it work effectively.
Students can expect their advisors to listen and respond to their interests and concerns, to accept them as unique persons, to be reasonably accessible, to know policies, procedures and where to find information, and to be a personal resource for academic, career and life goals.
In turn, students are expected to initiate and maintain contact with their advisors; to discuss information that may affect academic performance (such as work and family commitments); to learn basic University, college and departmental requirements and to accept responsibility for meeting them; and to seek assistance when needed. A good academic advising relationship promotes academic excellence, success and achievement of educational goals.
Advisor Assignment
Students will be assigned an academic advisor from the department in which they major. If they are undecided about a major, an academic advisor from the LAS Advising Center will advise them. If students need to talk with an advisor before the start of the semester, they may contact the LAS Advising Center or the department or college office that houses that major.
Academic Advising at Wichita State
Wichita State University believes in the importance of quality academic advising. This includes the development of an ongoing relationship between a student and a knowledgeable advisor who cares about students' personal and intellectual development and their academic and career success. Students are challenged and encouraged to develop academic and career plans that uniquely fit their abilities, goals and aspirations. Academic advising is available through individual department offices and through the offices listed below.

Shout! The Mod Musical has landed in Chicago after having critical and box office success in both London and New York. With some of the most recognizable and well loved songs ever written, Shout! is a fun-filled journey though a decade that shaped what music has become. The show, which is light on plot, features, five girls, each with their own color (blue, red, green, yellow and orange), revealing their individual life journeys through the advice columnist of Shout! magazine and singing the melodies made famous by Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, LuLu and Mary Hopkins to name a few. With songs such as "Downtown", "Don't Sleep In The Subway", "To Sir With Love", "Son of A Preacher Man", this musical, which fits perfectly into the Drury Lane Theatre at Water Tower Place, certainly leaves the audience feeling uplifted.
Shout! works best when the music is center stage and showcases the 60's greatest hits. The sub plots of the girls' personal life tends to take the show off course as there is not enough time for character development to allow the audience to take a vested interested in caring about the ladies. As the woman's movement is the undercurrent of Shout!, issues of abuse, abortion and gay rights become almost a distraction to the fun loving melodies the ladies are singing.
Bradley Vieth's musical direction is spot on and his band of three certainly fools the ears into thinking there is a full orchestra with the full out music arrangements of the original songs. David Gallo creates the perfect psychedelic mood with plush pink carpeting and bright bold colors for the girls to emote, and Philip Heckman's Crayola costumes give the girls their unique charm.
Shout! The Mod Musical is the perfect summer production and is in the perfect location to attract both residents and tourists alike.
Shout! The Mod Musical plays through June 22, 2008 at the Drury Lane Theatre Water Tower Place, 175 E. Chestnut St., Chicago, Illinois. For ticket information and show times, please call the Broadway In Chicago Ticket Line at (312) 904- 1400 or visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com or www.ShoutTheModMusical.com

On Batting Kosuke 5th: Nice Job, Lou
There's only so many things a manager has control over.
He's gotta keep an eye on his starting pitcher, and he's gotta know which reliever to go to when it's time to make a change. He's the one that pulls the trigger on pinch hitters, and he'd better know the lefty/righty splits when he makes the change.
And every day, he sets the lineup for his team's offensive attack.
The Cubs have always had a few quirks regarding their approach to the lineup. Most notably, the "leadoff hitter" debate had (until very recently) gone on and on among Cub fans (e.g., "Drop Soriano!", or, "We need Brian Roberts!").
The Cubs have also struggled, for a few years now, to find a left-handed hitting RBI producer for the middle of their order. To that end, you know you have a problem when you allow a 36-year old Jermoy Burnitz to play right field for your major league team.
However, after two and a half years of unrest among the Wrigley Faithful, I think it's safe to say that Lou has settled upon the Absolutely, Positively Correct Lineup against right handed hitters.
If there's one thing about lineups that every baseball fan can agree on, it's this: when you set your lineup correctly, your 1 and 2 hitters will get on base in front of your 3-through-6 guys, who will slug in some RBIs for your team. On that note, here are the slugging percentages for the Cubs' three bona fide RBI guys (A-Ram, Lee and Soriano), in order, with a fourth mystery hitter included in the rankings.
- A. Ramirez, .543
- D. Lee, .539
- Player X, .461
- A. Soriano, .443
Player X is Kosuke Fukudome, and for the foreseeable future, the Cubs' left-handed RBI producer. On Sunday, Lou made the last needed change to improve an otherwise optimal Cub lineup by moving Kosuke into the 5th spot, and pushing Milton Bradley up to the 2-hole.
Fuk hasn't always been the clear choice for the 5-hole on this team. He started well in 2009, posting solid numbers in April and May, before seriously slumping in June (his slash line for that month was .169/.266/.241). At that point, the question was whether Kosuke should pay at all, not where he should hit.
Since then, however, the Fukster has been on fire. As proof of his deserving a regular spot in the Cub lineup, he recently broke his habit of posting declining numbers in each subsequent month of the season.
Furthermore, he did so in glorious fashion. His July slash: .307/.392/.534. Wonderful.
Kosuke's .461 slugging percentage is roughly 60 points higher than that of the man he's replacing, the famously infamous Milton Bradley. But Bradley isn't beat in every category; despite a .230 average against righties, as of today MB is sporting an overall on-base percentage of .401, which is very nice (and 53 points higher than Ryan "Sluggo" Theriot's).
Rest assured, Cubdom. Even as the team struggles through a stretch of tough games, made more painful by the Cardinals' feasting on weak opponents, at least we've got the right lineup in place. Finally.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
Hello Group,
I was hoping that I can get some help with making a recommendation to the agency I currently work for in regards to a
Host Based Intrusion Detection System. I was asked to make some recommendations, but it must be inexpensive. The HIDS
would be mainly used to set off alerts on unauthorized access to certain resources on sensitive information stored on a
Windows 2008 Enterprise Server edition. It will also be used to monitor access to the resources as well.
Does anybody know of any economical ones? I would also like to know what is being used out their even if they are in
the high end pricing just to provide options.
Thank you in advance
Fili Moreno

Google gives more than what you want. Have you come across any bizarre searches? Let us know
BANGALORE, INDIA: "How to cook a girl" and "Human meat recipes" were some of the things the cannibal cop, Gilberto Valle, 28, Googled on his laptop. Unsurprisingly, he got some answers too.
So, Google has results for everything under the sun. One cannibalism website allegedly visited by Valle promised customers they would "only receive the highest quality human beef."
Valle faces life in prison if convicted on the kidnap conspiracy charge. His lawyers, according a news agency, say Valle is nothing more than a sexual fantasist with bizarre, even horrible, but harmless proclivities shared by many men on specialist websites.
No women were harmed by Valle, who used the websites to discuss cannibalism of young women, including his now estranged wife, with other men.
That is weird for anyone. In fact, Google does have bizarre stuff and throws up much more than what you expect. Here are a few auto searches of Google-- some expected, some weird, but they are all there.
1. So, do people eat babies?
2. What happens....

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 15 (HealthDay News) -- A ban on drop-side cribs
announced Wednesday by the U.S. government comes after millions of
recalls and the deaths of more than 30 infants and toddlers in the
past decade.
The unanimous vote by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission forbids the manufacture, sale and resale of the cribs,
which feature a side rail that moves up and down. The requirement
that all cribs have fixed sides takes effect next June, the
Associated Press reported.
The use of drop-side cribs by hotels and childcare centers will
be prohibited but those businesses will be given a year to buy new
Since 2000, drop-side cribs have been blamed in the deaths of at
least 32 infants and toddlers, and are suspected in another 14
deaths. In the past five years, more than 9 million drop-side cribs
have been recalled in the United States, the
AP reported.
Drop-side cribs have been popular for decades but have become a
serious safety issue in recent years due to assembly problems and
malfunctioning hardware that can cause the drop-side rail to
partially detach from the crib. This can create a "V"-like gap
between the side rail and mattress where an infant can get trapped
and suffocate or strangle.
The CPSC also ordered tougher safety testing for cribs and
improved labeling on crib pieces in order to reduce assembly
mistakes that could put children at risk, the
AP reported.
The new crib standard is one of the strongest in the world and
will greatly reduce crib-related hazards, according to CPSC
Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.
Parents of children who died due to problems with drop-side
cribs welcomed the ban, even if it didn't come soon enough.
"Yes, it's a long time coming," Chad Johns of Roseville, Calif., told the AP. "But the fact that it is happening -- that's what is important."
Johns' 9-month-old son Liam died in a drop-side crib in
