I think its about time to close the party down in Juneau and build a nice building near Anchorage and have it warm and comfy for them and have it made mostly of glass so we can keep our eye on them and when they have a major bill ready to present that pertains to the people's oil, gas, and minerals, and our permanent fund which should be used to build our gas line and be manned by our people. The people must do it now. They can use one of those school's giant auditourims that are hardly used and put on their show.
In the Clarion commentary on April 11, you are right about Love INC benefiting from their capital fund request of $1.75 million in state funds, but you are wrong to paint with broad strokes that it would benefit the community. What would benefit the community is to plan and provide homeless and low income housing that the entire community has the privilege and responsibility for helping to plan and figuring out how to pay for. Love INC should have never been allowed to house the homeless in the Merit Inn and did so without benefit of public involvement and input.
The Kenai River Sportfishing Association's behavior of late is entirely worthy of a "time out" given to an immature child acting inappropriately. KRSA unethically tapped into a private United Fisherman of Alaska (UFA) teleconference with the intent of furthering their unique form of sleazy politics. KRSA then shared the ill-gotten teleconference info with others with the intent to disparage and worse. KRSA viciously spun and twisted facts and then used them to assault and discredit Vince Webster as he was considered for confirmation by the Legislature for a seat on the Board of Fisheries.
I'd like to thank my family and numerous friends who attended the last Soldotna city council meeting. You have shown your support through words, prayers,
phone calls, and emails — for that I am truly blessed. From feelings of humiliation, you gave me back my dignity.
We have seen how the government process works: the city council hires the city manager to do a difficult job of overseeing operations of the city as he sees
best for the community.
Thank you and Rashah McChesney for providing today's (April 12) headline article on the firing of Terri Burdick from her job as the Soldotna librarian after 28 years of dedicated service to the community of Soldotna. In my opinion this action is an outright injustice against Terri Burdick as an outright abuse of power by Mark Dixson and a legal system that is long over due for change.
I started playing basketball 65 years ago in high school. We played a different type of ball.
I am quite sure Rick Pitino is very proud of his coaching prowess. It is not how his players played, it is how they were coached to run over every body else. All season long, referees were non-existent in this tournament.
I have never seen in any of the tournaments I've watched so many players being run into and knocked down and a foul not called.
Peninsula Bishop's Attic Board of directors and employees would like to thank Bailey's furniture for their generous donations. It is through community support like yours that has helped Peninsula Bishop's Attic support other organization on the Kenai Peninsula with quarterly monetary donations from our profits.
The cover story on April's AARP magazine is: "Saving Money by Living Together." Well, I'm the patriarch of a combined 3 generation family here in Nikiski. My children and grandchildren live in my house. The State of Alaska has touted its $300,000 property tax exemption for folks over 65. I qualify, but for the past couple years my exemption has been reduced by thousands of dollars because my children live with me. Don't misunderstand.
I applaud Greg Brush at EZ Limit Guide Service, for the stand he has taking on releasing client caught king salmon. Greg is certainly one of our premier guides. If he can go to catch-and-release only, then perhaps others will follow his lead.
When my summer guests arrive this year, I will send them to Greg if they decide to go out on the river. That is if he has any openings.
Way to go Greg.
Once again we come to the end of a session with school districts still wondering how we will fund our staff and programs.
I believe our legislators care about our children and education. They show that. But there are two areas that do not seem to be understood. One is accountability. We are accountable. Every school district has public data on performance. And this state is showing progress with many districts excelling. That question is asked and answered.

New Vermont distillery to produce vodkaOctober 15,2012New Vt. distillery

WINDSOR Vermonts newest distillery is planning to produce a line of vodka made from locally grown grains from local farms.

Size 14 Is Not Fat Either (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Former pop star Heather Wells has settled nicely into her new life as assistant dorm director at New York College a career that does not require her to drape her size 12 body in embarrassingly skimpy outfits. She can even cope (sort of) with her rocker ex-boyfriend's upcoming nuptials, which the press has dubbed The Celebrity Wedding of the Decade. But she's definitely having a hard time dealing with the situation in the dormitory kitchen where a cheerleader has lost her head on the first day of the semester. (Actually, her head is accounted for it's her torso that's AWOL.)
Surrounded by hysterical students with her ex-con father on her doorstep and her ex-love bombarding her with unwanted phone calls Heather welcomes the opportunity to play detective . . . again. If it gets her mind off her personal problems and teams her up again with the gorgeous P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives it's all good. But the murder trail is leading the average-sized amateur investigator into a shadowy world. And if she doesn't watch her step, Heather will soon be singing her swan song

So I went ahead and removed the solder from the holes, then hard soldered the adapter to the board. The first time I fired it up, I did so in mode 4. The LED flashed red, but not in a set pattern. It would flash evenly, then ...stumble... then flash then ...stumble. Eventually it stopped flashing. Even with restarts it never lit up again. Also, it never was able to take a flash, I tried with Evox after adding the extra lines to the ini.
I switched back to mode 1, no lights.
Also, I've yet to see any type of BIOS boot screen, all I have ever seen thoughout this whole thing is MS or Evox.
So, even with the chip not seeming to work I have done the following.
...Installed EvoX 3935
...Installed 60GB HDD
...Played backup games, original games, and HDD games.
...Installed GentooX 3.2 (still updating itself, been 14 hours)
Should I even bother trying to get the Cham at %100 or just leave it?
Does cromwell 2.27 support HDD's over 137GB? I've searched everywhere and found no answer.

Euro-porn fanciers won\'t be disappointed by this multi-girl, multi-guy fuck fest.
All hail Ira. If Germany is populated by beautiful and sexually talented women like Ira then it's probably time for a mass emigration. This tape begins with a quick walk-on by each of the female performers, which is a great way to do a quick who's who for potential fans. After an extended six-girl scene, a young man takes on Ira and a pal for a fairly tepid scene with a copious facial that includes some swallowing. Ira then shows her friends how sex is done by taking on two young fellows. This is the high point of the video, with both men going down on ther at the same time and eventually wedging themselves side by side in her pussy.

I was wondering if there's an easy way to add a code snippet somewhere that basically redirects people to a specified "thank you" page after they've left a comment, instead of showing them the same one with their comment added?
I've tried two plugins ("Comment Redirect" and "MSMC - Redirect After Comment") that supposedly do the job, but they're outdated and don't do anything.
As I understand it this should be achievable by modifying functions.php or another theme file?

Union complaint means fewer bus monitors
Principal: Union action a personal attack
Union President Kevin Egan informed the school central office that seven teachers watching students get on and off the bus exceeded a contract clause requiring only one teacher for every 125 students.
With 500 students at the school, by contract Walsh should have only four monitors, so the reduction was made, school officials said.
Members of the Walsh School Governance Council -- an advisory panel of teachers, parents and community members -- complained to the Board of Education about the reduction in monitors last Thursday.
Principal Erik Brown said he was baffled by Egan's complaint. He believes it's a personal attack from a union that has acted against him in the past. In 2009, the union filed a flurry of grievances on behalf of various teachers complaining Brown was not disciplining students according to policy.
"Why would a teacher want to be responsible for 125 kids?" Brown asked Monday.
Egan said Walsh teachers had asked him about the numbers required on bus duty. When he discovered that Walsh wasn't living up to limits required under contract, he brought the issue to top administrators. Egan said teachers need that time to prepare lessons and collaborate.
"If you are requiring three additional staff to do bus duty, those three teachers don't have time in the morning or in the afternoon to do what they do best, which is educate the young people of Waterbury," he said.
Generali, Chase and Bucks Hill elementary schools are allowed to exceed the limit under the contract. Egan said he'd be willing to examine the Walsh situation when contract negotiations reopen in two months, but he has not heard of any recorded safety issues. He even visited the school last week and observed no problems, he said.
There seemed to be as many teachers watching students as ever during Monday's dismissal. Six adults -- including Vice Principal Maria Zillo -- watched students lined up by bus in the cafeteria. As buses arrived in front of the school, each line was led out by a teacher.
Two teachers -- who asked that their names not be used for fear of clashing with the union -- said they were volunteering.
"It's too much for four people to handle," said one volunteer teacher, who declined to give her name for fear of running afoul of the union. "They would prefer we not be here, even though we want to keep the kids safe."
Another volunteer noted the irony that they were paid prior to the union complaint.
"For me, it's not about getting paid," the teacher said as she held a door for a line of students. "It's about doing it because it needs to be done."
Compensation for bus duty is nearly negligible. A teacher could earn a $1,000 stipend for doing bus duty before and after school every day of the year. A teacher monitoring before and after school for an entire marking period of 45 days could earn $200.
Frost, on Friday, said the central office had offered to pay additional stipends for extra teacher monitors, but the union declined.
"The issue was never ever about the money," Egan said. "It was about allowing teachers to have time. Unfortunately, many of the schools don't have a (preparation) period every day. That 30 minutes before and after school becomes an incredible opportunity for teacher to prepare their lessons."
It took nearly 30 minutes to empty Walsh School on Monday.
Developmentally and physically disabled students are released first to their buses around 2:40 p.m. Then a crowd of students are allowed out to walk home, many meeting waiting parents outside. Most of the staff is available to help with these phases, as they are on the clock until 2:50 p.m.
At the end of the teacher day, six long buses start arriving. Students who had been lined up in the cafeteria are released by bus, with a teacher walking out each group in turn. Everything went smoothly Monday; the last bus pulled away at 3:08 p.m. without incident.
At the request of school administration, Police Sgt. Dave Knapp watched bus runs Friday and Monday. He plans to be there again today. He told Brown he admired the way dismissal was handled, given the school's limited resources.
"I don't see an issue," Knapp said.
Brown said Dikeman Street -- which runs one-way in front of the school -- can be treacherous, especially in winter and during arrivals. Sometimes sidewalks are blocked, forcing children into the street. People picking up or dropping off students sometimes double park. He recently watched a student walk under the hydraulic lift of a milk delivery truck that was blocking the sidewalk.
"You need people out there to say, 'Don't do that, do this,'" Brown said. "If I don't have people out there to make those calls, anything could happen. They're kids."

@ lairdgrade2 - I am not (nor have I ever been) a Walsh School teacher yet I am very clear from my colleagues that Eric Brown is a pompous principal and absoulutely treats much of his staff like garbage. He double-talks, intimidates, behaves unpredictably and undermines teacher authority. I am surprised but glad to hear that he participates in bus duty.
For those who have opinions but have NEVER done bus duty -- the safety of students is primarily protected by a clear routine and protocol for dismissal and arrival. 7 teachers watching 500 students = 72 students per teacher vs. 125 students. Do you think that the teacher supervising 72 children has any better chance of stopping a child from getting hit by a car or wandering onto the wrong bus or dismissing as a walker with an unidentified adult? Its NOT the teacher:student ratio that is the key to safety - it is the consistent routine and procedure. IF Eric Brown is leading the school correctly, the decrease in teachers at bus duty won't even be a blip on his radar. IF !!!!! "

Let's get something straight. Just because a student is labelled "minority" that does not mean both parents are minorities. In Waterbury we have hundreds if not thousands of mixed ethnic students, but according to the government they are called "minority" . We can not get actual numbers on these mixed children because it would be unethical.
As for Principal Brown I would not rank him in the top 10 in this city but that is my opinion in what I have seen and read. "

You are cordially invited to the 5th Global Forum on Health Promotion
organised by the Alliance for Health Promotion in collaboration with the ITU, WHO and the Global Health Programme at the Graduate Institute, Geneva
Closing the Gap in Health Equity through Technology
The Global Forum on Health Promotion will explore in its 2015 edition how current and emerging technologies can impact on promoting health and well-being of people from all parts of the world, in particular the marginalized and vulnerable. Electronic communication and information technology not only covers technical development but also reflects a state of mind, a way of thinking, and an attitude which closely connects health promotion to behavioral change. Mobile health offers a way to empower citizens to better control their own health while reducing health care costs. Currently more people have access to mobile devices than to clean water, electricity or toothbrushes.
Innovative technologies have enormous potential to improve human well-being and to address health equity. This is particularly relevant in the area of environmental health where major technological advancements are contributing to decreased exposure to environmental risks. Successful examples of technological implementation illustrate the core values of equity. Technological progress, however, does not always guarantee equitable health outcomes.

I am not looking for an IDE suggestion for C++ development. I have found many discussions on that and tried EMACS, GVIM and Code::Blocks. I liked Code::Blocks very much than the other two. But it looks like most of the developer community is using tools like EMACS or GVIM. Is there a reason for this? Why Code::Blocks is less used?
I found EMACS and GVIM is less user friendly. You have to put more effort to get it working, but Code::Blocks take advantage here. It is easy to start and compile. Or do I miss something?

Abstract Objectives: Evaluate aortic root preserving/sparing procedures for various pathologies associated with ascending aortic aneurysms, including aortic valve regurgitation. Methods: From the end of 1990 through end of 2004, 388 patients had aortic root preserving procedures (reimplantation 72, remodeling 77, tailoring 239) ± leaflet repair. Preoperatively, in-house grade aortic regurgitation was 1+ in 58, 2+ in 110, 3+ in 101, and 4+ in 66. Concurrent leaflet repairs were done in 197 (50.8%, Cabrol/Trusler commissure stitch 158, leaflet plication 36, supracommissure stitch 42, leaflet resection and repair 16, perforation repair 18, and debridement 11). Additional procedures included arch repair in 227 (58%), coronary bypass in 83 (21.4%), elephant trunk in 33 (8.5%), and minimally invasive approach in 30 (7.7%). Pathologies included dissection in 140 (36%; 86 acute), Marfan syndrome in 39 (10%), bicuspid valve in 78 (20%), and degenerative aneurysm in 142 (36.6%). The CLASS (Commissure, Leaflet, Annulus, Sinuses, Sinotubular) evaluation schema is described that is used for selecting either reimplantation, remodeling, or tailoring of the aortic root according to underlying pathology. Results: Hospital survival was 97.4% (378/388) and stroke occurred in 4.6% (18/388, four permanent, [1%]). On postoperative echocardiography, patients had either no (0) or 1+ regurgitation (1+= 98);13 (3.4%) had 2+. Three patients (1%) required reoperation for aortic valve failure before discharge (two tailoring, one remodeling). Conclusions: Excellent early results can be achieved by aortic root preserving procedures and concurrent aortic valve leaflet repairs when appropriately selected for a diverse class of pathologies.

Dr. Dan has vision to lead
Published: Friday, April 2, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 4:56 p.m.
To The Editor: Why did your editorial of March 9 not register the full slate of District 11 GOP candidates participating in the ATPAC debate? Why did it ridicule the views of one candidate, Dr. Dan Eichenbaum and praise another's? Perhaps Mr. Newman is a favored son?
Dr. Eichenbaum is a true grassroots candidate. He has no political connections or ties to the state or national GOP as others do in the race. But, as a practicing ophthalmologist and a Constitutional Republican, he knows something about vision, not only regarding human sight, but also of Congress's distorted view of the Constitution.
During the debate, Dr. Eichenbaum voiced his view of the Federal Reserve, which was criticized in the Times-News editorial. His view is aligned with Nobel laureates Milton Friedman and Fredrich Hayek. Both advocated the abolition of the Fed.
While the TN editors don't seem to understand Dr. Dan's message, most of the folks do. Based on ballot and each participant's response to the previously submitted questionnaire, ATPAC endorsed Dr. Dan Eichenbaum's candidacy, which made him the winner of every post-debate straw poll conducted thus far in District 11. Your readers can view the debate at http://ashevilleteapac.com/ and judge for themselves.

What happens to the items in a bag of holding if you slice it open? We had an instance where a player character placed a bag of holding over an enemies head and sliced it open.
Sign up

The rules are silent on this.
There are not (to the best of my knowledge) standard rules for the non-magical destruction of magic items in 4e. Additionally (and unlike D&D 3.5), the Bag of Holding entry says nothing about how to break it, or what happens in that circumstance.
So either magic items are not casually destructible (which is my guess), or this is a gap they left in the rules.
I'd lean toward "magic items aren't easy to break," for two reasons.
First, the previous editions did emphasize the destruction of the Bag of Holding, to the point where it became a common joke/meme. Because of this, 4e's silence on the issue is unlikely to be an oversight.
Second, 4e's ethos does not look kindly of the casual elimination of character power and agency.
So what happens to the objects inside a Bag of Holding if it is somehow broken?
That's up to the individual group to decide; there are no explicit rules to follow.
In a certain campaign, there was a cult dedicated to a chaotic god from the Outer planes. There was a specific ritual that demanded you put 10,000gp worth of treasure inside a bag of holding and then slice it open.
The items stored inside were then lost in a strange dimension as an offering to the god.

The start of it actually sounded like puff the magic dragon to me. (yes, I was 6 years old once.)
"his silver falling apart" comes off as a bit strange... not sure how you'd tweak it.
maybe a simple change, like: "his memories falling apart- his siiiiillllveeer memories."

FAQ: Pharm.D.
How many students are admitted to the Pharm.D. Professional Program?
Enrollment for the professional program is limited to 80 students.
We have no limit for enrollment in the pre-pharmacy program.
How do you select students for the professional program?
These are the areas we look at when choosing successful applicants:
- Grades obtained in the pre-pharmacy courses, especially for the required pre-pharmacy science and math courses
- Communication skills
- Knowledge of the profession
- Critical thinking skills
- Standardized test scores (e.g. ACT or PCAT)
The average GPA of the last few classes admitted to the professional program has been above 3.7 with a range of about 3.4 - 4.0.
How many students apply for the professional program?
As you can imagine, acceptance is competitive. We anticipate receiving approximately 300 applications for the 80 positions available for the Pharm.D. program.
Do you accept out-of-state or transfer students?
Yes. However, even though non-SDSU students are admitted each year to the professional program, most of the students admitted have attended SDSU for at least one semester.
Can I make it?
Our successful students are those who have shown an aptitude in the sciences by obtaining grades of A and B in high school. You can generally maintain those quality grades in college if you commit yourself to good study habits and sufficient study time. We have graduates who were in football, swimming, basketball, music, students' association, or participants in other activities. Successful students were able to manage their time wisely from the start.
What type of courses will I be taking?
Our Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) Degree is a six-year program. The first two years are considered pre-pharmacy and the next four years make up the professional component.
Most of the pre-pharmacy courses are science related, especially chemistry and biological sciences, although some math is required as well.
Examples of courses in the professional program include biomedical science, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, therapeutics, drug distribution systems, biopharmaceutics, and clinical kinetics. These courses focus on the chemistry of the drugs, the effects of drugs, and drug therapy of diseases. In addition, students participate in Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences; these experiential education opportunities allow students to apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of pharmacy practice settings.
What if I'm not admitted or I change my mind about pharmacy?
Since most of our pre-pharmacy courses are required by several other science-related majors on campus, if you are not admitted to the professional program or if you decide pharmacy isn't your interest, you can transfer to other science-related majors with minimal loss of credits or time. These majors include chemistry, biology, microbiology, nutrition & food science, nursing, dairy science, medical lab science, biotechnology, and some pre-professional programs.
Alternatively, if you applied for the professional program and were not admitted and after discussion with a pharmacy advisor, you may decide to strengthen your application and apply the next year.
What is the cost in tuition and fees?
You can check out the latest figures for costs on this chart.
What do I need to do to apply?
Go to How to Apply.
What is your application deadline?
Our application deadline is February 1, and interviews are held October through March. We admit students for each fall semester only. Students are eligible to apply if they will finish the pre-pharmacy required courses before that next fall semester.
What's involved with Shadowing?
Shadowing refers to an experience in which a student observes a pharmacist and/or participates in some tasks related to pharmacy practice. Shadowing helps students observe the day-to-day responsibilities of a pharmacist. We expect at least a minimum of 8 hours devoted to shadowing; more is encouraged.
Do I have to have an internship?
What are internship requirements?
To become a registered pharmacist, a person must not only graduate from an accredited college of pharmacy but also meet the internship requirement of the state in which he or she will initially be licensed.
Almost all of our students complete the internship requirement before they graduate. There are usually sufficient summer internship opportunities nationwide, which also provide our students an opportunity to travel.
Credit for summer internship hours are easily transferred from the state of employment to the state in which a pharmacy license is being sought. Some students obtain internship positions in a community or hospital pharmacy in their hometown.
With this degree, where can I practice pharmacy?
If you graduate from any one of the more than 100 accredited colleges of pharmacy in the U.S, you can practice pharmacy anywhere in the U.S., but first, you must pass the national pharmacy licensure exam and the pharmacy law exam for the state in which you wish to practice.
What are some career options with this degree?
Many graduates pursue careers in community pharmacy positions, but the flexibility of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree also offers our graduates satisfying careers in hospital and clinical pharmacy, in the public health or regulatory arena, in the pharmaceutical industry, in government or professional association positions, and providing pharmacy services in home health care and long-term care settings, conducting clinical and laboratory research, owning an independent pharmacy, and working as a faculty members in a college of pharmacy.
What is the job market and starting salaries?
All of our graduates find jobs either before graduation or soon after. A shortage of pharmacists has caused the salaries for pharmacists to increase. The average starting salaries of our recent graduates is over $100,000 with a range of about $85,000 - $120,000, depending on job location and type of position.

Welcome to the Big Bear Sportsman's Club 4th annual "Big Bear Butt Cruise" taking place on Saturday, August 27th, 2016. This cruise is composed of four different rides:
The 2016 cruise is once again scheduled to take ALL riders across Tippy Dam! Here are the 2016 rides... we plan to keep the majority of the rides the same pending any construction or other great opportunities (such as a Dam crossing!)
- "60k" - View "www.mapmyride.com" route
- "120k" - View "www.mapmyride.com" route
- "170k" (107 miles) - View "www.mapmyride.com" route *
- "210k" - View "www.mapmyride.com" route *
*Routes may change as construct updates are presented to the BBBC.
DOWNLOAD THE 2015 ROUTE MAP - Thanks to all of the input from our past riders, the route for 2016 is unchanged as of right now, however, spring/summer road work may alter the route slightly. Here is last years route so you can get a feel of what to expect this upcoming year!
Our picturesque SAG stations
Our SAG stations are not just a place to stop and refuel. They are a place to stop and enjoy the picturesque landscape that makes our county Pure Michigan. Here is a list of our current SAG stations that are a MUST stop when you are out riding in the inaugural cruise.
|Tippy Dam
(Consumers Power)
Once again the Cruise will make its way across Tippy Dam. This amazing opportunity cannot be found on any other route in Michigan. Take in the sights from this wonderful SAG stop early into your ride. All routes will cross Tippy Dam!
|The Arcadia Ovelrook (Inspiration Point - M22)
The Arcadia Overlook was an obvious choice as a SAG stop on the inaugural BBBC. Just look at the beautiful landscape high atop this natural dune. The 100k, 160k and 200k rides will pass by this beautiful rest stop that you are sure to want to relax at for longer than just a few minutes.
|Whitefence/Bear Creek River Access (River Road)
Bear Creek is part of the Manistee County Explore the Shores program. This universally accessible fishing/sightseeing platform overlooks the Big Manistee River just off of River Road. This is a great spot to stop and admire the beauty and power of the Big Manistee River. All rides will pass by this beautiful location.
|Red Bridge (Coates Hwy)
Red Bridge is an anchor point to the famous Manistee River Trail and North County Trail hiking loop. This hiking trail is traveled by thousands each year from around the country looking for a picturesque hike with views overlooking the Udell Hills as well as the Big Manistee River. This trail is also famous for the "Little Mac" suspension bridge to the north and the Hodenpyl Hydroelectric Dam. The 160k and 200k Rides will pass by this location.
|Onekama Village Park (Main Street - Downtown Onekama)
The Onekama Village Park is a great spot to stop and enjoy Portage Lake. Famous for its sailing regattas as well as the historic Portage Point Inn, the Lake is a frequent vacation spot for those from across the midwest looking to retreat to Pure Michigan charm. All rides will pass by this location.
|Downtown Frankfort (Main Street - Downtown Frankfort)
Downtown Frankfort is a hot spot in the summer with travelers and locals alike. The little coastal community is home to many boutiques as well as great dining locations. Be sure to check out the beach on your way through and on your way out you will ride down Forest Avenue, famous for Victorian homes and beautiful decor. The 200k ride is the only ride that will take riders into Frankfort.
|Beulah Pavilion on Crystal Lake
The two long haul, 160k and 200k riders will enjoy the beautiful ride around Crystal Lake. This flat ride, with great roads, will be scenic and peaceful with a SAG stop in the heart of Beulah right on Crystal Lake.
|Crystal Mountain
Nestled just outside the Northern edge of Manistee County you will find the Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa. 100k, 160k and 200k riders will all pass by this beautiful area that is a four seasons playground for any outdoor enthusiast.
The two long haul rides take you over some fairly difficult terrain, but the challenge is worth the reward as the views are amazing. We recommend that you be an experienced rider for either of these two rides. For the two shorter rides (50k and 100k) riders can be newer to the biking world and will find a lot of enjoyment out of this ride. There are plenty of refueling stations along the way and great places to stop, so don't feel intimidated.

PROS / This software takes excellent screenshots and has some good tools for editing them.
CONS / It lacks editing tools, and the recording settings are very limited.
VERDICT / Voila does a great job recording videos and screen activity and taking screenshots, but you'll need other software if you want to edit your captured videos.
Voila video capture software for Mac offers a fair number of recording tools, but it falls short of other products on our lineup. This Mac video capture software records video, screen activity and screenshots – and it does screenshots particularly well. Voila's biggest weakness is its almost complete lack of editing tools.
The user interface for recording is modern and intuitive. It's easy to use and uncluttered, with simple tools and a built-in search feature that references an online guide.
You have several video recording options. You can select full-screen recording or just select sections of your monitor to capture. You can record browsers and video feeds from an iSight camera or other USB-connected cameras. Voila captures video well. Its video quality is very good, and editing the footage in another application produces great visual results. The timed capture option sets a specific recording duration via the software's preferences menu and the capture settings submenu.
There are no video editing tools in Voila. This video recording software does offer many useful tools to keep things organized, such as the organizer in the capture tray at the bottom of the user interface. If you need to edit any of your captured videos, you may want to use video editing software such as iMovie or a professional application such as Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro.
This Mac video capture software lets you take quality screenshots. There's a selection of shapes for recording onscreen content, including a rectangle, circle, polygon and freehand. The user interface has a toolbar across the top that offers an easy-to-access assortment of recording options, including options to take still-image screen captures. These options are for full screen, selection (in which you set the capture shape you want), object (to capture anything on the screen, such as a finder window) and menu, which captures menus of other software.
This video grabber for Mac does have some nice screenshot-editing tools, such as vector annotations, marquee, resize, rotate and crop. Sharing options in the toolbar include exporting to iPhoto and email, as well as printing and publishing. You can configure the project to share it on your Flickr account or upload directly to YouTube, or use FTP and SFTP to send your screencasts to a website.
Voila isn't the best video capture software for Mac because it lacks video editing tools. However, it is great for taking screenshots. You can edit screenshots within the application, but you'll need separate software if you want to alter your videos.

When I play a video I've embedded (via YouTube) on my blog the video (not audio) is very choppy for the first 20 seconds and sometimes the video never catches up to the audio. When I play it on the YouTube website, it's smooth.
Factors to help diagnose the problem:
* To get the video to play well, I need to let it play for 20 seconds or more (while it's choppy) and then pull the dial back to the beginning to restart the video. After two or three times of restarting like that, it's smooth.
* I use: HostGater shared server for hosting and Chrome for my browser. (I emailed HostGater and they said it's not a problem on their end since the video is linked to YouTube. Although wouldn't it still need to run through HostGater? )
* My embed code looks like this:

Suggestions? Thanks,

The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts likely will review whether a Manhattan doctor will lose his license over an aggravated battery conviction.
A jury found 46-year old Russell Reitz guilty last week for an altercation at the home of his ex-wife that left a K-State business professor injured.
Reitz is a radiation oncologist and the son of state senator Roger Reitz.
Kansas State Board of Healing Arts spokesperson Kristi Pankratz says state statute says anyone convicted of a felony will have their license revoked. However, a two-thirds majority of the Board can vote to find the licensee will not pose a threat to the public.
Pankratz would not comment whether anything was pending against Reitz, citing confidentiality.
