NEWTON, Kan. (AP) _ A set of Prussian Mennonite church records going back to the 16th century that have been kept in Kansas are returning to Germany after more than 60 years.
The Wichita Eagle reported on its Web site Tuesday that Bethel College in Newton will return the four books, among the oldest Mennonite-related volumes known to exist, later this year. The books contain the congregational records of the Danzig Mennonite Church in what is now Gdansk, Poland.
Church members fled with the books at the end of World War II, ahead of the advancing Soviet army. Relief workers brought them to Kansas. The books include births, deaths, marriages and other records between 1598 and 1943.

Today's football riddle: What do Paul Tagliabue and Rick Chryst have in common?
Answer: They are the commissioners of the leagues that played the best football in the country this weekend. Tagliabue, of course, runs the NFL. Chryst is the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference, which had three members defeat ranked teams on Saturday.
The biggest surprise came at No. 6 Kansas State, which lost to Marshall, 27-20. Toledo, which won at Marshall a week ago, beat visiting No. 11 Pittsburgh, 35-31. Northern Illinois, which opened the season by beating then-No. 14 Maryland, 13-10, in overtime, stunned Alabama, No. 21 in the AP poll, 19-16 in Tuscaloosa.
"We had a concentration of those games, and the top end of our league competing in them," Chryst said Sunday night. "It all came together."
The victories are the result that Chryst hoped for several years ago when he urged member schools to play better teams, and to make whatever deals necessary to get those teams to come to MAC campuses. The schools have 10 nonconference home games against I-A schools, seven of them against BCS schools.
The strategy has brought unprecedented success, perhaps too much. The big schools are refusing to schedule any more visits. "The top end of our league, forget it," Chryst said.
"Maryland tried to get out of coming here," Northern Illinois coach Joe Novak said Sunday night. "They tried to buy us out of the contract, but our athletic director (Cary Groth) stayed strong. We played Illinois two years ago, the year they won the Big Ten. We lost by five and were throwing in the end zone at the end of the game. They don't want to play us and I don't blame them. There's nothing to gain, especially in this state."
Northern Illinois agreed to play twice at Alabama, without a return visit. At a point in time when the BCS schools are being charged with squeezing the non-BCS schools out of more lucrative payouts, you would think that the Alabamas and Marylands have a vested interest in keeping the MAC schools healthy. On the other hand, maybe that's naïve.
"It is naïve," Novak said, laughing. "Winning these games is really making it difficult."
Northern Illinois will continue to try to schedule I-A teams to come into DeKalb, whether they are in the BCS or not. Novak said the school is talking to Louisiana Tech right now. In the meantime, the Huskies sold out Huskie Stadium for the Maryland game, all 28,000 seats of it. For the Iowa State game, the school is considering bringing in bleachers that would seat an additional 2,000.
"When I came here seven years ago," Novak said, taking over a team that had signed a long-term lease on the MAC cellar, "you dreamed of playing in a packed stadium against a ranked team. Last night was a little more special. But I was more nervous than our kids, to be honest. Our kids went in there feeling they could win the game."
The Future Is Now
With great fanfare in February 2001, Tennessee signed a cluster of big-name tailback recruits. Not until Saturday in Gainesville, however, did juniors Cedric Houston and
Jabari Davis, the best of that group, fulfill the vision that Volunteer fans had nearly three years ago.
Houston, a 6-foot, 215-pound tailback from Clarendon, Ark., has been the starter, while Davis, a 6-foot, 225-pounder from suburban Atlanta, has spelled him in the second quarter. In Tennessee's 24-10 victory at Florida, however, Houston went to the bench with bruised ribs in the first half, and Davis came in earlier.
"Cedric is the back that can make more happen right now, inside, outside and receiving," running backs coach Woody McCorvey said Sunday. "Jabari gives us a lot in short yardage and goal-line situations. They are a great one-two punch. They work very well together.
Davis finished with 78 yards and two touchdowns. Florida held Tennessee to 39 rushing yards in the first half, but the Vols gained 100 yards in the second half. In the first half, Tennessee gained more than two yards on only three of 14 first downs. The Vols couldn't get out of second-and-long, and didn't help themselves with bad down-and-distance situations, exacerbated by false start penalties on the first two possessions because of the noise generated by Gator fans.
McCorvey said the offensive coaches decided at halftime that if they got rid of the penalties, and used more hand signals, the original game plan would work. "We had to be able to run the ball to keep the defense off the field," he said.
In the fourth quarter, after Florida closed within 17-10, Davis gained 45 yards on the 78-yard drive for the touchdown that put Florida away. Davis closed the drive with runs of 20, six and nine yards. He blew through the middle, and the Gators didn't have enough left to stop him.
Bryan's Song
Virginia Tech junior tailback Kevin Jones deserved the attention he received for shredding Texas A&M for 188 yards and three touchdowns on the ground Thursday night. However, Aggies coach Dennis Franchione sounded as if, had he given out one game ball to the Hokies offense, Jones would have finished second to junior quarterback Bryan Randall.
"Everybody was asking me about the tailback," said Franchione, sitting on a folding chair in a deserted postgame locker room after the 35-19 loss. "He's good, but the quarterback made the difference. The quarterback is mature enough that when they had to have it, he made a play -- pulling it down, passing, the option play for the touchdown."
Franchione's comments are significant because, when he looks at Randall, he sees the learning curve of his own quarterback, sophomore Reggie McNeal. In the first half, McNeal rushed nine times for 65 yards, and completed 8-of-12 passes for 104 yards. In the second half, after the Hokies began sending more pressure at McNeal, he completed 3-of-9 passes for 29 yards. He also carried only twice for a net loss of a yard, and got sacked for a loss of 17.
"I kind of felt like I saw Reggie growing up before my eyes in the first half," Franchione said. "He had a pretty good game. We're all guilty of thinking he has more experience than he does. Sometimes we need to understand how (green) he still is. He's smart. Taking it from the practice field to the game field is different."
There are more parallels between the offenses than that. On each team, what started out as a shared position evolved into starter and backup in the backwash of Hurricane Isabel. Tech freshman Marcus Vick and Aggie sophomore Dustin Long each played one mop-up drive in the final five minutes of the game.
"When the ball is wet," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said, "you want a guy in there who's used to handling it." Vick will get playing time, Beamer said. However, it's clear that Randall is the man.
A Classy Move
LSU fans have earned a reputation throughout the Southeastern Conference for being the rudest, crudest hosts to visiting fans. The custom of yelling, "Tah-ga bait! Tah-ga bait!", when spotting anyone wearing enemy colors is tame compared to other oaths spewed by the locals.
That's why the warm ovation that Georgia athletic director Vince Dooley received when introduced on the field at Tiger Stadium on Saturday afternoon came as such a surprise. Dooley, who is being forced to retire next year by university president Michael Adams, was introduced as an "SEC living legend." More important to LSU fans, the announcer reminded everyone that Dooley had been in charge of the NCAA Football Rules Committee when it passed a rule allowing LSU to wear white uniforms at home.
The announcer reminded Dooley, too.
"I had forgotten that I was chair of the rules committee when we changed the uniform rule," Dooley said Saturday. "It used to be that the visiting team wore white. LSU appealed, and we changed the rule so that the home team has first choice. It was just the right thing to do."
Dooley beamed when asked about the ovation. "Quite a compliment," he said.
Just F.Y.I.
No. 14 Iowa beat visiting Arizona State, 21-2, because the Hawkeyes' defense pitched a shutout, allowing Sun Devil junior quarterback Andrew Walter a paltry 3.6 yards per attempt (23-of-44, 160 yards). Arizona State finished with only 184 total yards.
But the best developments at Iowa occurred on offense. Hawkeyes quarterback Nathan Chandler couldn't rely on his favorite receiver Maurice Brown, who missed the game because of an ankle injury. Instead, kick returner Ramon Ochoa stepped in and caught two touchdown passes and redshirt freshman Calvin Davis, a 6-2 former Iowa prep 200-meter champion, caught the first three balls of his collegiate career for 51 yards. ... Minnesota, the only I-A team to play four exhibition games, outscored Tulsa, Troy State, Ohio and Louisiana-Lafayette by a combined 187-51. Now the Big Ten season begins. ... TCU must be for real. The Horned Frogs, without starting quarterback Tye Gunn, and losing starting tailback Lonta Hobbs in the first quarter, beat Vanderbilt 30-14. Backup quarterback Brandon Hassell threw for 227 yards and a touchdown. ... Stanford, with 47 freshmen or redshirt freshmen, is 2-0 after beating BYU, 18-14.

Power / Temps / Noise
To give a complete overview of the 6870 DirectCU we have taken readings from the card when it comes to temperatures, noise and power use.
For power readings the entire use of the system is measured and for noise levels we have the cards in a Corsair 600T case at floor level with our camera positioned by the case. Temperatures were recorded by GPUz and Furmark was used to provide 100% load on the card.
For power use the DirectCU version of the 6870 runs at a level which matches the reference cards. Even when we increase the core and memory speeds to their maximum available level there is only a minor increase in power use and the same can be said of the temperatures. In fact those are particularly impressive, sitting at 33-34°C when the card is idle and never rising above 81c at full load.
For acoustic performance on this card we were hugely impressed. As the video below shows the system is very quiet when in use. In fact the DirectCU is the quietest component in the system, our case fans and CPU cooler which are both running at low RPM are actually louder. This is a near silent GPU cooler.
One of the main features of the 6870 DirectCU is its ability to use the ASUS SmartDoctor software. SmartDoctor allows us to monitor aspects of the card and overclock it to enhance performance. The application also gives us the ability to tweak the GPU voltage which should increase the overclocking potential of the card.
From SmartDoctor version 5.74 onwards the 6870 DirectCU is supported and allows full control of the card provided we tick "Overclocking Range Enhancement" in the program options. From there it is just a case of setting the slider to the setting we want and hitting "Apply". Our only minor issue is that the messages given when changing voltages could be a little more user friendly. For example, trying to set 1.303v gives the following message:
Why not just say "Success" or "Set to 1.303V"?
So with the latest version of SmartDoctor installed and our card left to run at automatic fan speed we began raising the values past the standard Overdrive limit of 1000MHz core and 1250MHz memory. Our final maximum overclock was 1095MHz for the core and 1305MHz for memory with a voltage increase to just over 1.3v.
Here is how the card performed with the enhanced settings.

I was sorry to read in David Horsley's Sept. 18 column that his computer had been infected with the Kakworm virus.
WScript.Kakworm.B, as it's known technically, is spread via the Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail program by attaching itself to an e-mail as a signature. Anyone can get this virus by simply reading an infected e-mail message.
The worm takes advantage of a security hole in Outlook Express called Scriptlet.Typelib.
The security hole can be plugged by downloading a tiny patch program from Microsoft at www.microsoft.com/TechNet/tools/scrpteye.asp, free of charge.
If you think you have the Kakworm virus on your system, you can download a free program from Symantec called fixkakb.exe that will repair any damage done by the virus. That program can be found at www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/kak.worm.b.removal.html.
Computer viruses do not happen by accident. Someone intentionally writes them. Practice safe computing by keeping your anti-virus software up to date and never open e-mail attachments unless you know that it was meant to be sent, and then only after you scan it for viruses. Don't let the virus writers make you a victim.
Abortions are worse than gun deaths
I have a question for Wendy Marsh, regarding her plea for more government interference in parenting (Sept. 15 column, "It takes a worldwide village to raise a child").
In her examples of child abuse, why did she ignore the most prevalent and heinous example of child abuse; that is to say, the ultimate child abuse - abortion on demand?
It is just as fatal to children as guns, and far more widespread.
The statistic Ms. Marsh propounds (and which I question), 13 deaths from guns each day, pales into insignificance in comparison with the more than 2,000 deaths daily in the abortuaries of America.
Abortion deaths also are more heinous than death from guns in that nearly every instance of a child dying from a gunshot is accidental, whereas every abortion death is fully intentional.
Also, why does Ms. Marsh think we need to have our rules of child care dictated by a collection of foreign nations wherein child abuse is already so rampant, as she describes in her column?

Narrow down the 833 results:
The Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps… when that list just touches on some of Rome's treasures, is it any wonder that Italy contains the most World Heritage sites of any nation on Earth?
Rome attracts millions of tourists each year, supplementing a growing expat population, people from all over the world, who have dreams of riding scooters, eating gelato and falling in love in one of Europe's most iconic cities. Whether you want to be in the heart of the action or would rather escape to a local neighbourhood, Italy's capital has plenty of places on offer to make your Roman dreams come true.
For first-time visitors to Rome, the Centro Storico – Historic Centre – is a good area to be based. Home to the Pantheon and the splendours of Piazza Navona, this is the Rome of your imaginings. All the major sights, including the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum and the bustling Campo de' Fiori market are within walking distance. It is a veritable warren of streets, filled with baroque and renaissance palaces, churches, antiques shops and cafes. As you might expect, this area is the main draw for tourists, so it can be incredibly crowded and budget hotels are like gold dust. However there are a few cheaper options outside of peak season, and nowhere can match it for historic atmosphere.
Located on the other side of the Tiber River, Trastavere was, for a long time, a simple, working-class district that barely attracted other Romans, let alone visitors. Now though, thanks to an expat population studying at the two American universities and a period of gentrification, it attracts a great deal more tourism. It is still a slightly less frantic experience than the Centro Storico, and it easily has the better restaurants. It boasts plenty of beautiful churches of its own, and accommodation here can be found for a fraction of the price compared to the Centro Storico, with double rooms starting from around €30.
This district, named for two hills, is located to the south of the Colusseum area. Aventino is one of the Seven Hills of Rome, while Testaccio is a man-made hill, formed by piles and piles of discarded Roman terracotta. Nowadays, this is very much a local neighbourhood, with traditional restaurants attracting local clients rather than tourists, so it's a great place to escape the crowds. The hilltop position gives wonderful views across Rome. The Keyhole View, on the Aventine Hill, offers a particularly beautiful view of the Vatican. It's easily accessible: 20 minutes on foot to Campo de' Fiori, or you can hop on the 271 bus from Piramide to get right into the Centro Storico. There is a range of guest houses and hotels to suit different budgets.
While there aren't any places to stay within the Vatican City itself, unless you happen to be a close personal friend of the Pope, the tiny state (it measures just 0.5km square) is surrounded by hotels and B&Bs. Whether you're planning a trip focussed on the Vatican, or you just want a convenient central location, this area fits the bill. The Centro Storico is just across the river, an easy 15-minute walk, and there is plenty of accommodation to suit every budget.
x The average starting price for a place to stay in Rome is £70 per night.
AndyWCole We stayed in this palce in early November 2010. The owner serves croissants, milk, coffee, and juice for breakfast. Housekeeping is very good.The rooms are very nice and clean with free wifi connection. It's in a great location too next to all the important sights. After visiting Florence and Venice, we returned to the place for our last night before flying out. Isa called one of his taxi driver friends and arranged a 6:00AM pickup for our trip to the airport. And got us a reduced fee for the trip. We absolutely loved this place, and it felt like a home away from home with the hosts' warm support and hospitality. Location, quality accommodations, and personalized support are an unbeatable package. All three of us were totally happy with this amazing place. Definitely recommended.

hanley6 We cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough, the facilities and location are excellent, Ivan and Antonella could not have been more helpfull. My family and I loved it and would definatly stay there again if we were in Rome.

Ducati privateer Karel Abraham and his Cardion AB team will switch to MotoGP's CRT class next season and run an Aprilia.
Abraham has used a satellite Ducati since moving up from Moto2 in 2011.
But after an encouraging rookie season, the Czech rider has become frustrated during an injury-blighted 2012 campaign.
Cardion's technical chief Luigi Dall'Igna said the team had rejected a chance to continue with Ducati, which has instead restructured its relationship with fellow satellite squad Pramac for 2013.
"In spite of the fact that we had the option to continue with Ducati in 2013, we decided not to use it, and to give an opportunity to a new partner," said Dall'Igna.
Abraham believes the move to CRT and Aprilia will be good for his career.
"The 2012 season has regrettably been a step backwards," he said.
"It's a pity that we are finishing our co-operation with Ducati in these circumstances, but this year things haven't been working as well as they should.
"We have been in negotiation with Aprilia for quite some time, and I think the partnership's got a good future. I see it as the best possible solution.
"It's going to be a lot of hard work, but we think it's important to be going forward and not just running on the spot."

Another area of British culinary pre-eminence is the steamed pudding, amongst which the Spotted Dick is king. As a pudding-fan, I am deeply saddened that several, rather puerile, reviewers find this name mildly amusing. I doubt they would stoop to such pathetic attempts at humour if they had bothered to taste it first.
Take my word for it: nothing tastes better than a mouthful of dick, especially if it comes with a load of hot custard.
Whose tackle had never been sick
Till he put it somewhere
Many others had dared
Now Mick has a fine spotted... pudding.
Hey, we do what we must to satisfy the censors!
I give this out as a gift for Christmas and birthdays, and almost everyone loves it!!! But don't give it to anyone at work or where there is an HR department - I learned the hard way.
There is nothing more wonderful than Spotted Dick with lashings of custard and a good cup of strong tea with friends. YUM! I keep it in the cupboard and am ready for friends and tea at a moment's notice. This is a rich sponge cake with currents and savory rich tones of brown sugar. The chocolate and sticky Toffee and Treacle are all good too - when you can get them.
I know the name seems a bit naughty--it just adds to the fun of offering some cultural engagement to our wonderful world. I do slip it into gifts and offer to bring dessert to friends. BUT I also love this line of products for the QUALITY!
The Heinz canned version is a very different animal, a member of the sponge pudding race, containing no suet. It is nice enough, and is especially good with English-style custard. It is tasty, filling and easy to prepare, and its name makes it great fun.
But if you are a fan of the Aubrey/Maturin stories and want to eat like them, be warned that this is not the real thing. The genuine Spotted Dick (or Dog), described in O'Brian's books, is the glorious suet pudding of my youth.
She did mention that once you have some Dick, you'll need to wait a few minutes before putting it back in your mouth as it needs time to settle after you mess around with it, otherwise its too soft.
This soggy bread in a can is delightful. Straying from the typical rubbage on British plates, the injection of flavor from Spotted Dick is a welcome taste. A sweet treat with hints of cinnamon, this is perfect for a party filled with Dick hungry guests.
At ten ounces, each can is roughly four servings based upon the nutritional facts. That's roughly 1000 calories with about 360 of them fat calories for a total of 40 grams of fat. To say that this Dick is fat would be an understatement. With trace amounts of calcium and iron - or so the rumors go - there are some healthy benefits to this charming confection.
Highly recommended.

Craftivity Corner
I learned this past weekend that despite my pep talks to myself (written and otherwise) I still do not feel particularly good about turning forty. I had a strong urge, all weekend long, to head to some solitary retreat and wrestle, alone, with these turning-forty demons. I'm certain that in some culture, somewhere, turning a landmark birthday involves that type of retreat--maybe to experience some solitary and pivotal rite of passage (through fire? wandering alone in the woods?) after which the person returns to their family, whole and happy again, and ready to seize the new decade by storm.
Or, maybe, they go to their favorite thrift store and engage in some shopping therapy.
Either way, I was kind of an emotional roller coaster this past weekend--snappish with Scott, prone to over-dramatizing minor events (I have TWO STACKS of papers to grade on the weekend before my birthday! WAH!), and even almost shedding tears over the fact that you can not, in the entire state of North Carolina, apparently, buy a bottle of pisco; a fact that is sad when you got it into your head a long time ago that you would celebrate your 40th by drinking a one of these because you'd seen it made on this show and just felt, well, intrigued by it all, superficial though that may seem.
When I turned thirty Scott and I were trying to get pregnant with our first child. We had a quiet celebration in our apartment, and talked about what the new decade would bring: hopefully a child, a relocation, new roads to follow. Turning thirty felt easy for me, somehow, even though I had friends who mourned that milestone birthday. I couldn't wait to cross over into that new decade, to roll up my sleeves and embrace it all. It was the last birthday, I think, that I remember being completely impatient for the new year, for launching myself, arms outstretched in a swan dive into it. Less than two months after that birthday I found out I was pregnant with L. and, while I could easily have sat back and thought to myself, by the end of this decade my baby, this new little person, will be nearly ten years old, I don't remember ever thinking about it in those terms. Yet now I keep thinking about the ending point of this decade, that 49th birthday far ahead. I see today and that year in the future as two bookends and the years in between? I don't know--it's the uncertainty of those years that weighs on me--years when anything is possible, wonderful and otherwise; years in which my own parents will grow older, my children will slowly morph into teenagers, and we'll find new rhythms to fit the life around us.
So I haven't quite found peace with my new forty-year old self, yet. I think this is going to take time--more time than I thought it would. I'm grateful for this birthday, don't get me wrong, but forty doesn't fit right yet; it hangs awkwardly around my shoulders, and trips me up still when I walk. I can't see all its beauty yet, only the heavy, plain sides of it. Forty I think is like a gift you're given by some older, wiser-than-you person; someone who sees more in it than you do, someone who understands you'll come to value it more than you really know, someone who believes heart and soul in what you'll learn to do with it.
Happy birthday!
I'm sure this decade will bring all sorts of amazing new things.
And on a Monday...
So I always hear women saying how much calmer, happier, smarter they become, the older they get. My mom always says that each decade is better than the last. During her fifties, she said she was as happy as she had ever been. She turned 60 last year with complete grace. I think you'll get there...you've just had so much else going on right now, it's probably hard to digest it all at once!
Make sure to do one special thing for yourself (might I suggest a special purchase, to you from you) that will always mark what could become a lovely memory. When T is turning forty, you will laugh about this time and what will have become another chapter in your autobiography. :-)
When I earned my master's, I bought myself a silver bracelet that is Lucky brand, so it's sort of a reminder for me. It's still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry and it's a good reminder of that point in my life. So for $25, I bought something that my children will probably ask me about some day. :-)
Have a terrific day.

My fiance and I stayed here recently just to get away and there is much to say about this location. The two-rooms suites are spacious with flat screen tvs in both rooms. The staff was friendly and informative. The hot breakfast is complimentary and eggs can be made to order, and every evening they have free drinks at the atrium bar. We will definitely be staying here again, though beware of large functions being held (especially involving children). The staff couldn't seem to quite keep up with the full capacity, mainly in the pool area. The pool is beatiful but small and the children were filling it way over capacity with only one man on hand to try to tame them. We did not stay long which was very regretable. I wish they would have come up with some sort of half hour pass system for those situations so that overcrowding wouldn't have been such a concern for both safety and comfort.
Overall great hotel though. Definitely recommended.

I...want... to be wrong.
This is only going to get worse in the next few days. No doubt her supporters, understandably, will want revenge....major trouble which will definitely spill into other parts of the region thus pulling in India, Iran, China and Russia. The U.S. won't be able to stand on the sidelines on this one.
I don't know if the Islamists did this or not. I think it as likely that Musharraf could have ordered this or worked through secondary channels to have this done.
Whoever is responsible, Pakistan is headed for some major trouble which will definitely spill into other parts of the region thus pulling in India, Iran, China and Russia. The U.S. won't be able to stand on the sidelines on this one.
When Pakistan becomes an completely failed state, in whose hands will the nuclear arms land?
And I certainly hope we don't put any more "pressure" on him. Forcing democracy on other countries too rapidly...
What I meant by 'pressure' is that Prez Musharraf needs to be more pro-active in reigning in those who will not abide by his country's laws. Since the entire world will be affected by a nuclear detonation, it is the entire world's responsibility to put more pressure on him to act like a leader and take care of his country. No more playing General soldier boy. Prez Bush told him to take off his uniform and relinquish that post. Now he either acts to bring justice to Pakistan or something else will have to be done. The world cannot sit by and hope he'll do the right thing. And this isn't the same thing as 'forcing' democracy.
This is about as no-win as it gets.

Everyone's busy, so I think what's needed is a reminder that 1) voting is possible and 2) voting helps prioritize commits. Is it possible to change the format/template of outgoing email when a new issue is created? If so, would it be possible to add a sentence about voting for issues to it? Perhaps something as simple as: If you want this issue committed, vote for it: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewVoters!default.jspa?id=XXXXX Otis ----- Original Message ---- From: Grant Ingersoll <email@example.com> Also, I wonder if there is a way to get people to vote more on issues that are important.

As someone who lives 20 miles from 7 Springs and has skied there since 1968, I'd like to address the differences of opinion among the other reviewers. Unfortunately, the critics are right. Yes, 7 Springs can do nothing about the short hills and adverse weather of southwestern Pennsylvania. And 7 Springs is the best ski resort in the region, but only because it has so little competition. The area is a pale shadow of what it once was. The original owners, the Dupre family, ran it right. Under the Nuttings since 2007, the ski experience at 7 Springs has deteriorated drastically. The management will do anything to save a buck regardless of the impact on the skiing or the views of its customers. Fewer lifts operate. Slopes with plenty of snow are inexplicably closed. There are long lines in the cafeteria because most of the checkout counters are closed. Cars get stuck in the snow in the inadequately plowed parking lots. You must now go to an inconveniently located office to buy your ticket rather than buy a ticket at the front gate as in the past. From 2012-13 to 2013-14, a weekday lift ticket rose 12 percent in price, and you now pay weekend rates ($75!!!) on Fridays. The management has received a torrent of complaints about these matters, but they just don't care. As other reviewers have written here, developments since 2007 at 7 Springs are indeed "sad." To submit this review, I must choose whether to recommend 7 Springs for either single/newlyweds, families, or empty nesters. The truth is I recommend it for no one.

Nike Set To Release Its Priciest Shoe
The latest Lebron James-branded basketball shoe — the Lebron X Nike Plus — is expected to retail for $315, according to The Wall Street Journal. That apparently includes some motion sensing technology that can record how high players jump while wearing them.
And our last word in business today is: pumped up kicks.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Nike will soon release its priciest shoe.
The latest Lebron James-branded basketball shoe, known as - the Lebron X Nike Plus - is expected to retail for $315. I'm hoping that's for a pair, David, and not per shoe.
Anyway, it apparently includes some motion sensing technology - motion sensing technology that can record how high players jump when wearing them.
Back in 1985, by the way, a pair of original Air Jordans was not $315. It went for 65 bucks.
GREENE: A lot less. Well, the Journal says that the company is raising prices between 5 to 10 percent on all of its shoes and clothing, accounting for higher labor costs in China, and an increase in material costs.
Nike, by the way, is not the only company changing price tags. Adidas is doing the same thing.
INSKEEP: Hopefully, that motion sensing technology can sense how high the prices will jump.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene.

Congress Reaches Deal to End FAA Shutdown
The short-term extension will put 74,000 back to work.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced a bi-partisan compromise today to end the thirteen-day shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration that has furloughed 74,000 transportation and construction workers. "This agreement does not resolve the important differences that still remain. But I believe we should keep Americans working while Congress settles its differences and this agreement will do exactly that," Reid said in a statement. The Senate will formalize the deal on Friday by approving a previously stalled short-term extension passed by the House of Representatives. [AP]

Hello everyone. I have an old Nokia 3410 (WAP 1.1) and I'd use it to publish short posts on my blog. I wrote about many Italian forums but have not found a practical solution.
I thought of three different solutions.
1) Create a backdoor in WAP 1.1, where I publish my articles by placing them "brutally" in the database
2) Using Query String on Worpress and then develop an application in Java to publish
3) Change the interface of T WP-Wap from WAP 2.0 to WAP 1.1
What is the best solution? How can I achieve it? Thank you and sorry for my english!

Bowel Obstructions
A mechanical bowel obstruction can develop in either the small intestine or the large intestine (also called the colon). The condition partially or completely prevents the contents of the intestine from flowing normally through the bowels.
The picture on the left shows a blockage in the small intestine that might develop, for example, as a result of scar tissue formation (adhesions).
The picture on the right shows a partial blockage in the colon caused by a tumor (cancer).

Protesters from across U.S. arrested at Utah tar sands mine
Geoff Liesik, Deseret News
VERNAL — Twenty-one people from 10 states were arrested Monday during a protest that "became physical" at a controversial tar sands mine in northeastern Utah, according to the Uintah County Sheriff's Office.
Those arrested listed addresses in Utah, Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Oregon and Wisconsin, Uintah County Undersheriff John Laursen said Tuesday.
They were booked for investigation of offenses that ranged from trespassing on state School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration land and stopping mining operations to felony riot and conspiracy to commit escape, the undersheriff said.
The first arrests were made about 10:30 a.m. Monday, more than four hours after 12 protesters climbed an 8-foot-tall, chain-link fence topped with barbed wire and entered land leased to U.S. Oil Sands by SITLA, authorities said. Five of those individuals chained themselves to heavy equipment inside the fenced area, deputies said.
Uintah County Sheriff Jeff Merrell said deputies used a pair of bolt cutters, a wrench, pliers and a pocket knife to remove the chains and arrested the 12 protesters, including one who had secured himself to a gate in the fence.
"It became physical," Merrell acknowledged, noting that about 30 protesters outside the fenced area were told to leave the mine site or face arrest as well. All but one of followed that order, the sheriff said, and was arrested.
When deputies tried to leave the site with those who had been taken into custody, six protesters sat down on Seep Ridge Road to block their way and "started to physically resist the officers," Laursen said.
One deputy pulled his Taser after he was punched in the head, Laursen said. The Taser did not have a projectile cartridge attached, the undersheriff said. It remained unclear Tuesday whether anyone received a "dry stun" when the deputy cycled the weapon while holding it above his head, Laursen said.
The six protesters blocking the road were arrested. Two other protesters were arrested outside the Uintah County Jail after they were identified as suspects in the effort to block Seep Ridge Road, authorities said.
Jessica Lee, spokeswoman for Utah Tar Sands Resistance, said deputies treated protesters so roughly during the arrests that it amounted to police brutality.
"This is a clear example of the Uintah County sheriff escalating things," Lee said, noting that protesters were "grabbed in an aggressive manner" and some were "thrown to the ground."
Lee also criticized the frequent presence of police K-9s at the mine site as people began to gather there over the past week for a peaceful protest. She said at least one K-9 handler let his dog off the leash during Monday's arrests.
"Having a dog off-leash is a blatant threat against protesters," Lee said.
When asked Tuesday if a police K-9 had been deployed against any of the protestors, Sheriff Merrell replied: "Absolutely not."
One protester was taken to Ashley Regional Medical Center in Vernal before being booked into jail. The man was treated for a severely sprained ankle that he suffered when he tripped over sagebrush while running from a sheriff's sergeant, Laursen said. Any other arrestees who may have had medical issues were allowed see a registered nurse at the jail, the undersheriff said.
Laursen identified the arrestees as: Elizabeth Arce, Jesse Jordan Fruhwirth, Laura Gottesdiener, Daniel Joseph Gruppo, Melinda Hatch, Eliana Correa-Hernandez, Camila Allison Ibanez, Anna Dorothy Leopold, Melody Brianna Leppard, Valerie Montana Love, Damien Thomas Luzzo, Maribel Alejandra Mercado, Samuel Ralph Neubauer, Belmont T. Pinger, Victor Enrique Puertas, Eric Michael Recchia, Ashlyn Danielle Ruga, Lorenzo Daniel Serna, Tabitha Skervin, Cynthia Francis Spoon and Lionel P. Trepanier.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Quintiles is teaming up with the investment organization Russian Venture Company (RVC) Biofund to support expansion of clinical development services within the Russian Federation. The partners say they expect to announce plans for specific joint ventures in the near future, but the overall aim will be to address Russia's healthcare initiatives as laid out in its government's Healthcare Development Concept to 2020, which it drafted in 2009.
"This partnership will help create high-technology services companies within the Russian Federation to advance biopharma, using RVC Biofund venture capital investments," explains Egor Beketov, RVC Biofund CEO.
Quintiles has been carrying out clinical trials in Russia since 1996. "With a population of almost 140 million, Russia is under-represented in terms of clinical development activity and over-represented in terms of unmet medical needs," comments Ben Cons, global vp for corporate development at Quintiles. "Quintiles' goal is to address both of these issues in partnership with RVC Biofund, which has experience in starting businesses in Russia and capital to invest in the biopharma sector."
RVC is a Russian government-established fund that invests government capital through VC funds created in partnership with private investors. RVC Biofund was established in early 2011, to focus specifically on innovative biopharma and related service companies operating in the biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical fields.

'Saveur 100:' Favorites From the World of Food
The Saveur 100 includes Istanbul chef Musa Dagdeviren. See his recipe for a Turkish wedding dish below the list.
In many ways the people who work for the food and travel magazine Saveur are like culinary detectives — always on the hunt for new edible delights.
Since they can't include every treasure they find in the magazine, they save the best of the rest for the Saveur 100 — an annual list of "favorite restaurants, food, drink, people, places and things." Michele Norris speaks with Colman Andrews, the magazine's editor-in-chief about the list.
The Saveur 100
Saveur magazine's eighth annual list of favorite restaurants, food, drink, people, places and things:
Recipe: Perde Pilavi
Michele Norris and Saveur's Colman Andrews discuss chef Musa Dagdeviren's Perde Pilavi recipe.
Istanbul chef Musa Dagdeviren makes this Turkish wedding dish in both large and individual sizes. According to lore, the crust symbolizes a new couple's house; the nuts, the couple themselves; and the currants, all their future babies.

Focusing on both the visual and performing arts, Watteau, Music, and Theater explores the rich connections between painting and theater at a time when Louis XIV had reigned in France for some six decades. Jean-Antoine Watteau (French, 1684�1721) and other early eighteenth-century French artists are central to this time of lush artistry. This volume delves into the fascinating developments in music and theater that took place in Paris after the young Watteau arrived in the vibrant French capital. Framed by an introduction by Pierre Rosenberg de l'Acad�mie fran�aise, Honorary President- Director of the Mus�e du Louvre, Paris, and a companion essay by Georgia J. Cowart, Watteau's influence on culture and art during this time period is unquestionable. Fifteen major paintings by Watteau and a number of his drawings demonstrate the ways in which the painter's vision reflects his involvement with actors, musicians, and the stage. The works discussed range from enchanting single figures to animated assemblages of players from the French and Italian theatrical tradition. You will meet Mezzetin, a stock character of the commedia dell'arte; Harlequin, garbed in the traditional black mask and a diamond-patterned costume; the cheerless and egotistical manservant Crispin, a leading stock comic character of the French stage; and Pierrot, a French charmer in his loose "clown" costume and pointed hat. Admirers of Watteau and other artists of this time period will rejoice in the depth of details and analysis this book presents.

Electric Lady
Amazing - Poem by Electric Lady
I do not know if I will ever get over you
You are like a drug
A disease I am immune to
The roses are slowly dying
And so am I
But I am like a dying rose
That has not lost its conscience
Be with me forevermore
Until the pain goes away
Then my heart shall beat its last tune
For you and only you
I can cry an endless river
As the mountains move heaven and earth
And the angels will appear
And at last they will rise
Love captures it beautifully
A glorious tragedy
It is fate, it is fate I say
For fate is everywhere
It is in the stars
It is in the mind
It is even in the heart
This is my gift
This is my calling
To wither away in tears
Behold what shall be left of me
A conscience that is clear.

New Music From The Black Keys, Jónsi, Drake And More
Sinners repent, for the end of the year is nigh. Starting soon, NPR Music will begin looking back on the best music of 2011 — but this week's All Songs sneaks a few new releases under the wire before all the counting down begins. Perhaps the biggest surprise is a new record from Jónsi, the Sigur Rós frontman who released his dazzling solo debut last year, and has been mostly quiet since then. Jonsi is behind the original soundtrack for the upcoming Cameron Crowe film We Bought a Zoo; this week's show has a premiere of the song "Gathering Stories."
Also on this episode: a straight-ahead rocker from The Black Keys, a slow jam with an engaging backstory from Drake, some nostalgic emoting from Real Estate and Future Islands, and cover tunes from The Antlers and Ólöf Arnalds.

That is hard to say. I think he does need to put on a great run at 154. He can't do it beating any one at 147 and below. Maybe 1 or 2 catchweight fight vs 160 champs also.
I really don't make ATG lists any more but if push comes to shove I have him top 30, maybe top 25 in a good day. A lot of incredible performances but never had his signature win vs a future HoF, let alone vs an ATG. Fight with ODLH, Castillo and Corales are awesome but not quite the same caliber of victory you expect from a top 10 ATG like Ali, Duran, SRR, and SRL had. Hagler has Duran and Mugabi and that is far better wins than any of PBF's wins. And Hagler is not top 10 ATG (at least by most boxing followers. Though he is in my top 5 fav of all time.).
