Runners Finish on Top at Hobart
Men's and women's teams both win Hobart Invitational
The ESF men's and women's cross-country teams took to the trails at the Hobart Invitational race Sept. 21 where they both finished on top of the seven-school pack.
The women's team was led by Emily Martin with Jenny Frank and Kristen Campbell right behind. Then followed Lauren Lynn, Emma Putman, Danielle Zgardzinski and Allison Cronk. The tight pack of finishers gave the Mighty Oaks a seven-point margin of victory over the rest of the field.
The ESF men were equally impressive, claiming seven of the top eight places. Tom Arcuri took second, with Timmy Callahan, Jon Cleveland, Malcolm Moncheur, Steven Slonosky, Reed Scott and Peter LeDuc finishing right behind him.
The men and women will race Sept. 28 at the Wildcat Classic hosted by SUNY-IT in Utica.

How do we as fast as possible halve carbon emissions from our freight traffic in cities?Publicerad 29 maj 2013 av Lotta Solding
August 26th – 29th some 100 people will gather from around the world in Malmö in order to find solutions to current social challenges. They are coming for Sweden's first ACSI Camp and one of the companies involved is Volvo Trucks. They want to find new ways to accelerate the development of freight traffic in our cities and their goal is to reduce carbon emissions by half.
– In addition to reducing carbon emissions, we want to contri-bute to less noise and less crowded traffic. More and more people are settling into cities and freight transport systems need to be improved quickly. Since this issue is in line with our values, we choose to be part of the ACSI Camp, says Martin Bramsved, CSR Manager at Volvo Trucks.
The values Martin is referring to is partly Volvo Trucks' vision to become the world leader in sustainable transport solutions, and partly about the company's three core values: quality, safety and environmental care.
– Combating global climate change is a major challenge for the transportation industry. Because we are one of the industry players, we want to be involved and help reduce carbon emissions. Enhancing the efficiency of transport in big cities, finding solutions for energy efficiency and finding alternative fuels are questions we have worked with for long. Here we are happy with and contribute to our knowledge, says Martin Bramsved and highlights:
– We simply want to accelerate progress and get more people to realize the urgent need to use the technology and the knowl-edge that actually exists. We know basically what solutions we have to work with, but it is moving too slow.
During the past three years Volvo Trucks has been working on a project in Gothenburg, "Climate Smart City Distribution", and the company hopes that by participating in the ACSI Camp this will become a kind of continuation of this work.
– Within the project we have managed to show that it is possible to dramatically reduce carbon emissions by using alternative fuels and new vehicle technologies. With new, more efficient logistics solutions for freight traffic in cities it is possible to achieve even better results, says Martin Bramsved.
Martin believes that collaboration and cooperation is the best way to address these challenges, to work together towards the future.
– We know that these challenges are difficult and complex and we need innovative approaches to solve them. We hope that experts and innovators at the ACSI Camp will contribute with ideas that we can work with and put into practice, in Sweden and in Europe. If we, through interaction, can find good examples and concepts that work, then we will be happy to recommend this to others, he concludes.
Facts Volvo Trucks
Volvo Trucks is part of the Volvo Group, Sweden's largest corporation and also one of the world's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles. Volvo Trucks are sold in approximately 140 countries and produced in 15 countries, with 2,300 service points. Approximately 20 000 employees per year ensure that more than 100,000 trucks can be delivered annually, worldwide.

US sees Ecuador emerging as new cocaine centre
BOGOTA, (Reuters) – Ecuador is becoming a "United Nations" of organized crime with drug traffickers from Albania to China using it as a staging ground to strike deals with freelance Andean cocaine smugglers, a U.S. official said.
Ecuador is sandwiched between the world's top two cocaine producers, Colombia and Peru, helping turn the Andean nation of 14 million into an under-recognized haven for international drug deals, the anti-drugs official said.
"We have cases of Albanian, Ukrainian, Italian, Chinese organized crime all in Ecuador, all getting their product for distribution to their respective countries," Jay Bergman, DEA director for the Andean region of South America, told Reuters.
Colombian cartels controlled global cocaine distribution networks in the 1980s but are now splintered and weakened after a crackdown by the country's security forces, backed by billions of dollars in U.S. aid.
The Colombian gangs now work mainly as suppliers, handing over dangerous trafficking jobs to Mexican cartels — who control access to the world's largest drugs market, the United States — and other international crime groups working in Europe, the No. 2 destination for illegal drugs.
With increased scrutiny in Colombia, traffickers prefer to move drugs quickly across its land borders to Ecuador and Venezuela and hook up with business partners, Bergman said.
"If I'm an Italian organized drug trafficker and I want to meet with my Colombian counterpart … I would probably prefer to meet in Ecuador than to meet in Colombia," Bergman said.
"(It's easier to) have my passport stamped as Ecuador and say, 'Yea, I went to the Galapagos islands for vacation,'" he said of the nature preserve made famous by Charles Darwin.
President Rafael Correa's government insists it is doing all it can to chase and deter traffickers inside Ecuador.
Bergman acknowledged the government was making strides combating smugglers, including significant seizures like a 98-foot (30-meter) drug-toting submarine captured last year.
Ecuadorean police have also arrested top Colombian kingpins and confiscated multi-ton shipments of cocaine.
"They are doing a pretty bang up job in terms of basic interdictions with a fraction of the capabilities and the resources of the Colombians," he said. Ecuadorean officials could not immediately be reached for comment, but this weekend Correa appeared to win a referendum to reform the justice system with measures he says will help fight corruption and crime.
Correa dropped a visa requirement in 2008 so that visitors from any country can stay for up to 90 days, in a move to promote free movement and boost tourism.
But some Ecuadorean analysts say that has led to a spike in the presence of foreign criminals. Ecuador modified the law last year asking for tourist visas from several countries in Africa and Asia.
Powerful Mexican cartels are the largest buyers of Colombian cocaine to supply the massive U.S. market.
They buy mainly from Colombian producers, either leftist guerrillas growing vast coca fields to fund a decades-long insurgency or new criminal gangs that trace their origins back to paramilitary groups, also veterans of Colombia's conflict.

The faithful at Saint Stephanos Church in Istanbul, Turkey are feeling rattled after an attack was carried out there by Muslims. Attackers verbally assaulted and threatened them during a baptismal service. Muslims have also destroyed church property in the last two months.
The attacks reopened psychological wounds in light of fatal attacks on Catholics and other Christians in Turkey. Members of the Christian minority here fear that things will only get worse.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Parishioners said they are waiting to see if hostilities will escalate into violence during what remains of the Holy Month Ramadan. Religious persecution during this period has been known to increase in Muslim-majority areas. Ramadan, an Islamic month of daytime fasting, ends in Turkey on July 28.
The attacks have prevented some congregants from attending religious services. A group of young men under the cover of darkness destroyed audio equipment, stole other items and set a fire in the building in May. Muslim intruders pushed their way into the baptismal service on July 15 to yell obscenities, with one waving a knife and threatening to stab a parishioner.
Help end world hunger -- by going here --
The attacks reopened psychological wounds in light of fatal attacks on Catholics and other Christians in Turkey. Members of the Christian minority here fear that things will only get worse.
"It's not the first, and it won't be the last," on parishioner said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Eight Muslims came onto church grounds and screamed obscenities and anti-Christian epithets at those inside. Some members of the group went into the church building and, as they walked around, shouted at those in attendance. The Muslims told those at the church to "Go away" because "Turkey is Muslim."
Authorities were able to turn the group outside. Within the church courtyard, one of the Muslims pulled out a knife and lunged at him. The Christian managed to avoid injury, and the group fled.
Some of those attending the service called police during the attack, but officers who were in the neighborhood giving out traffic tickets arrived long after the assailants had left, according to church members.
Located in Yesilköy, St. Stephanos Church serves an Istanbul neighborhood where Christians, though still a minority, make up a significant amount of the population. There are two churches in the small coastal neighborhood, and only one mosque. According to residents, Muslims and Christians got along peacefully and cordially until just recently.
In a previous incident, men in their late teens and 20s entered the church building at night, ripped out most of the church's audio equipment and destroyed what they couldn't carry away. They then took some of the ceremonial candles, lit them and started setting items in the rear of the building on fire. They stacked all remaining candles into a pile, lit them and left.

CHICAGO, July 25- U.S. soybean futures fell sharply on Monday, extending the steep declines seen last week on pressure from investment fund selling and favorable extended weather outlooks for the developing crop, traders and analysts said. Wheat and corn futures each were narrowly lower at the Chicago Board of Trade, with wheat reversing from earlier gains that... » Read More
Record high prices of corn and soybean brought on by the worst U.S. drought in 56 years may be triggering a sense of de ja vu for Asia concerned about a repeat of the food scare in 2008, but most economists are downplaying those fears, for now.
A drought-fueled rally in soybeans, corn and wheat is raising fears of another round of food price inflation, posing an unwelcome complication for policymakers, particularly in emerging Asia, where higher consumer prices may hinder their ability to ease monetary policy.
With nearly two-thirds of the US enduring drought conditions, food prices are expected to jump ahead of the November election. That could add to voter anxieties about the economy, the Christian Science Monitor reports.
Both corn and soybean prices have slid from Monday's record highs and should be considered a buying opportunity if this pull-back continues in the short term, Erin FitzPatrick, Commodity Analyst at Rabobank, told CNBC.
The USDA slashed projections of corn production by a larger than expected amount, now predicting an average yield of 146 bushels an acre. "My concern is we're underestimating the scope of the problem," says Gulke, who also advises farmers on risk management tools like futures with The Gulke Group.
CNBC's Rick Santelli discusses the play on the USDA's cut in yield projections for corn, soybeans, and wheat, with Frank Lesh, FuturePath Trading
CNBC's Jane Wells reports on the latest trades in corn and grain after a government report predicts significant cuts in yields.
A look at why commodity prices are skyrocketing as a result of this summer's drought, with Jason Roose, U.S. Commodities analyst.
Soft commodities such as soy and corn should be used by investors to protect against inflation in the same way as gold, according to the founding partner of GAIA Capital, John Coast Sullenger.
Tom Essaye, Editor, Money and Markets says things are improving in corn & soybean markets due to hot weather concerns.
A look at the latest market moves and how to trade them, with Jack Bouroudjian, Bull and Bear Partners CEO.
Greg Smith, Group CEO, Global Commodities Ltd says that speculators are still short commodities and that investors are not picking up on the protein theme yet.
A rising U.S. dollar is exerting major pressure on commodity prices and in turn could be setting up a prime buying opportunity in grains, energy and—yes—even gold.
Syngenta, the world's largest agrochemicals company, is aiming for higher earnings this year as price hikes and cost-cuts are expected to help it offset the impact of the strong Swiss franc and raw material prices.
Food prices and security, threatened by weather-caused production declines and relentless rising demand, will be a key issue at the conference of world business, political and social leaders.
Signs look positive for the agricultural and fertilizer industries in 2012, and U.S. companies would likely benefit the most, investor Dennis Gartman said on "Fast Money."
Dennis Gartman, The Gartman Letter, weighs in on legendary investor, Jim Roger's Ag commodities play, and the outlook for gold.
Gold prices will rally again in 2012 to reach $2,000 to $2,500 per ounce because demand is still strong and the precious metal is still seen as a safe haven, according to Sabine Schels, a commodities strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Despite an unexpected deterioration in macro indicators in developed markets, Goldman Sachs believes commodity prices will hold up over the coming year.
When the Chinese came looking for more soybeans in Uruaçu, Brazil, last year, they inquired about buying land — lots of it. Now some in Brazil are beginning to see those purchases as a problem.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Not only is Hugh Jackman shying away from his Wolverine retirement plan, the actor already has his eye on joining another superhero team.
"I would love to see him as part of the Avengers," he tells IGN. "There's a great dysfunction among that team, and I think Wolverine would fit right into that. He'd like that."
"There's no doubt he'd get in a fight with Hulk at some point," he continued. "Those two bad, rage-filled characters are going to square off at some point. It would be quite fun. I don't know how much fun to shoot it would be because I'm sure I'd be on the worst end of it, but hey, he can heal."
For now, due to the Avengers rights belonging to Marvel Studios and X-Men belonging to Fox, such a crossover event is unlikely. We'll have to be satisfied instead with X-Men: Days of Future Past, in theaters this weekend.

Anyone interested in how big power and big politics intersect should read this book. It is more than a book about a big company, it is essential reading for anyone interested in Canadian energy or the environmental movement. This book is a worthy partner to "A Thousand Barrels a Second" and "The Golden Spruce".

With "Friends" like these MS has started you career on a HIGH note!,
This review is from: Bridges (Audio CD)
Bette Midler sang "You've gotta have friends……………….." But when this 19 year old country singer who honestly – I have never heard of before this CD arrived for review – say shehas "friends", she means it. This are country music legends who don't even need last names (though, unlike some hip-hop performers, they do have them). When I say Loretta, Willie, Tanya, Merle, Lynn, Ronnie, Vince and Ray, you know who I mean. The only "friend" you might have a problem with is "Neil". No it's not McCoy (he spells his name Neal) and this Neil is not country. It's Neil Sedaka, who joins Mary Sarah on the only non-country song among the 10 tracks that form the "core album". When did "Where The Boys Are" become country? There are really 13 tracks on the 44-minute album with the last three (including one with Big & Rich, One with the album's Executive Producer and a solo on Brenda Lee's hit, "I'm Sorry"
Mary Sarah has some voice and she replicates the legendary ladies of classic country nearly note for note. Whether it's Patsy, Dolly, Loretta, Tanya or Tammy (again, you know who I'm referring to). What'll be really interesting is to watch for her follow-up album with songs we can't all sing by heart. The voice is there; the future will be in her not being a "cover act" for female classic country singers. I'm pulling for her.
The six-page color foldout inside the jewel box has photos of MS with her friends , a track list, the musicians on each of the three sessions (where groups of three or four of the tracks were laid down) and TWO pages of "thank you"'s in minuscule type face. The one thing that is missing – in my opinion – is a bio of MS. Honestly I still don't know much about her (I guess I could co to her website) but I do like what I'm hearing here.
One last comment. If Top40 country radio hooks on to Mary Sarah it may mean that they will actually put Willie, Merle and Dolly back on the radio. These days they only get played on "Americana" (usually non-commercial radio stations. That would be a bonus, in my opinion.
I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.

July 30, 2013
The Truckload Carriers Association has named Albert Wallace of Hartsville, N.C., a Highway Angel. Wallace drives for Epes Transport System Inc., of Greensboro, N.C..
On May 10, 2013, at about 4:30 p.m., Wallace was driving on I-26 near Columbia, S.C., on his way home from making a delivery. He saw a car on the side of the road with its flashers on and a flat tire. He stopped to help the young female driver and discovered that her spare tire was also flat. Since he had an air pump on the truck, Wallace inflated the spare and changed her tire. He cautioned her not to drive over 55 mph and to get another tire as soon as possible. Then he sent her on her way.
She later wrote to Epes Transport System, praising Wallace for his help. "I am incredibly grateful for [Wallace's] kindness and generosity," she wrote. "I am so thankful that God put [him] there, and that [he is] so selfless and helpful. There are not enough words for me to describe how much I appreciate [his] assistance."
Wallace, who has been driving professionally since 1995, says he has stopped many times over the years to help stranded motorists. "I recommend checking the tire pressure on your spare at least twice a year. Otherwise, your spare will be of no use to you when you need it," he says.
For stopping to help the woman, Wallace has received a Highway Angel lapel pin, certificate, and patch. Epes Transport System Inc., also received a certificate acknowledging that one of its drivers is a Highway Angel.

Skip to comments.Obama 'chronically incapable' of military strategy & 'clueless about what he wants to do'
Posted on 01/16/2014 3:08:09 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
President Obama has been judged to be 'chronically incapable' of conducting a coherent military strategy and 'has no sense of what he wants to do in the world', according to Oxford University professor, Sir Hew Strachan - one of the UK's most respected and senior military advisers.
The damning verdict from a governmental insider of the United States' closest military ally comes days after the president was heavily criticized by his own former Defense Secretary Robert Gates who said that Obama was indecisive and lacked any passion for his nation's armed forces.
Claiming that America and Britain had committed total strategic failure in their near decade-long Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns, Strachan said that the recent failed attempts to intervene militarily on behalf of Syrian rebels 'has left them in a far worse position than they were before.'
Strachan is currently a member of the United Kingdom's Chief of Defence Staff's Strategic Advisory Panel and claims that the 'crazy' mismanagement of the Syrian crisis at the end of the summer was the worst example of the military planning in evidence since 9/11 and that at least President George W. Bush had a plan and stuck to it....
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
The fact that it has taken five years for some folks to figure this out says a lot about cluelessness elsewhere.
You beat me to it; GMTA!
Frankly, I also have been unable to discern clear strategic goals in Administration policy. I am releived that I wasn't just imagining it.
So Odumbo doesn't know what he is doing? I never knew this...
The only reason to believe this is if you believe Obama has US interests as a goal. He does not.
Capable, competent, and having a clue....is racist, sexist, and homophobic. Elderly lesbians hurt the most.
But he had a beer summit! That policeman has not harassed another educator (as far as I know).
I think we all already knew this on day one.
Once you admit that he sides with the enemy, it becomes much easier to understand.
In an incident that may deepen strains between the two governments, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon was quoted in the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot as saying that Kerry is inexplicably obsessive and messianic. He added that the only thing that may save us is if Kerry wins the Nobel Prize and leave us, the article said. up
Anytime I hear anyone in Europe complain about Obama, my blood pressure skyrockets. Those dingbats all but begged for us to coronate him, and we handed them exactly what they said they wanted: a non-cowboy, anti-capitalist, multicultural sponge. Live with it, jackasses.
Has it ever occurred to you that this incompetence is just a case of smoke and mirrors to hide his real intent — the destruction of this country?
In that respect, he is very capable.
Yeah, but Obama is real good at discussing European philosophers. And that crease in his pants....why, you just can't beat it.
Precisely. It is folly to believe that Obama's actions are the result of ineptitude or stupidity. The man has an agenda to form his new America that requires him to destroy traditional America. With that as his goal I would say his actions have been extremely capable, focused, and effective.
Obama Policy: 'Skilled high-income groups are bad.'
Motivational speaker? NOT
Not to split hairs, but I think we all knew this WAY before his day one in office.
Watching "Restaurant Impossible" last night I realized that Obama was the ignorant businessman that had to be told he was living in the past, not making any money and not trying to make improvements — out of pride.
"President Obama has been judged to be 'chronically incapable'
I just LOVE that Headline....:-)
In all fairness, it's not just Obama. His non-experience renders him simply a puppet. His cabinet, "advisors" and czars are all players in the takeover of the economy, the educational and the social structure of the United States since the seventies. The famed "Fundamental transformation of the United States of America."
That, somehow, the citizens of the U.S. have meekly accepted five years of that type of continuing abuse is mind-boggling. Doesn't bode well for the next three years, since things that "couldn't get any worse" have indeed gotten worse with no end in sight.
I guess we shall see the limits of the U.S. citizenry's toleration for predatory totalitarianism. I hope it's just a matter of time.
Obama wants to be the president for life and rule by monarchical fiat. And play golf when he tires of ruling over the peasants.
...and he's not very good at either one.
I have said since the beginning that he's nuts and is and has been on meds since before becoming president.
Indecisive, yes. And definitely lacks passion for but possesses great passion against our armed forces!
obama is an evil incompetent, capable only of destructive actions.
...Yes Sir! Put another way, I seriously dis-agree with Strachan because I totally believe this man knows exactly what he wants in this world founded upon his hate for America. Everything in his background screams that hate. To name just a few: ...his love affair with Jeremiah Wright of "God Damn America Fame", his bowing to those vermin Saudi Arabian Leaders that funded 911, his upbringing by admitted and proud communists, Obamacare, Eric Holder, his dis-respect for the flag, his dis-respect for the military, his wifes statements about hating American, and his daily assault on the constitution. The list is endless.
So, what does he want? He wants a World Government with him it's initial head communist/socialist dictator..........pure and simple. And, destroying the US in the process is no big deal to him.
I wish there were a way to post Free Republic threads from 2007 when Obama was an unknown, with no executive experience in government or executive experience in any real business not related to political pork.
Freepers had him pegged from the start, unhampered by political correctness or the fear of the accusation of racism.
We all saw him as the incompetent he was then. Arrogance, later, only exacerbated an already hopeless leadership case. Most here today would be surprised how accurately he was perceived at this site.
I hope this new rhetoric is not too little too late. We are a very distressed nation; government= silent coup.
There are indeed clear strategic goals and they've been announced: "Reward our friends, and punish our enemies."

The authors present a study of the performance achieved by user processes when using the IPC mechanisms as implemented in Berkeley Unix 4.2BSD in Ethernet based environments. The authors assess not only the impact that different processors, network hardware interfaces, and Ethernets have on the communication across machines, but also the effect of the loading of the hosts and communication media that participate in the interprocess communication mechanism. The measurements highlight the ultimate bounds on performance that may be achieved by user process applications communicating across machines, and serve as a guide in designing performance-critical applications. A detailed timing analysis is presented of the dynamic behavior of the TCP/IP and the UDP/IP network communication protocols' implementation in Berkeley Unix 4.2BSD
