I hope having female and males is okay- I had fun designing these. O v O/
N a m e : Sango
T e r r a i n : Esa
H e i g h t : 1.5-2ft
S k i l l :
Tail Smash- Sango uses the tough spiky coral on it's tail to deliver a hard blow to the opponent. It will usually jump in the air to flip itself onto it's back so the spikes face directly downwards to give an effective hit.
Jaw Crunch- It clamps onto the opponent with it's fierce jaws to 'crunch' the foe.
Toxic Spikes- Its cheek pouch contains small amounts of toxic acid, by biting into something something hard (such as a rock or wood nearby) it coats it in it's mouth. They then become poisoned missiles which can be fired at target.
S t a t s :
Attack: 2
Agility: 2
A d d i t i o n a l I n f o :
> They travel in packs of 10-20. Male to female ratio in the groups is usually 1 : 3 respectively.
> Females are more prone to running away while males are more aggressive.They will not attack unless you do anything to threaten them.
> They enjoy basking in sunlight. If you scratch them around the area under it's chin, it will become friendlier.
> Although they are quite speedy on ground, their speed increases sharply in the water. Their giant tail propels them through the water swiftly.
> From young they snack on hard substances such as rocks, shells and coral. This give their coat a smooth gleam as well as promote the growth/hardening of their jaws/spikes.
> They are quite tough on top, but their soft belly is their weakness point. Any hit there would slow them down considerably.

Jacksonville's historic Reed's Bridge 6th annual Civil War battle re-enactment is set for Saturday and Sunday. The event provides an opportunity to explore the camp and battlefield and will feature games, music and activities for the whole family at no cost.
The battlefield site, located on Highway 161, features a homestead made to look as it would have nearly one hundred and fifty years ago. The Battle of Reed's Bridge occurred on August 27, 1863, when Union soldiers advancing towards Little Rock clashed with Confederate soldiers.
The re-enactment will include a drill, soldier's formation and re-enactments of the Battle of Reed's Bridge along with the Marmaduke and Walker duel. Activities include music by the Conway Women's Chorus and the Salted Dogs Band. The event will also feature kid's games and tours of the three cabins located on the battlefield site. Refreshments and Civil War replica items will be available for purchase.
The Reed's Bridge battlefield has been restored in recent years, with the first phase beginning in 2009, consisting of clearing undergrowth and trees. A new information stand, two Civil War era cannons, and a walking trail have since been added. The most noticeable change is the small 19th century homestead, consisting of a barn, family cabin, and a kitchen cabin and garden. The Reed's Bridge battlefield is on the National Historic Register and is considered to be the most well preserved Civil War site in Arkansas.
Below is the event schedule:
9:30a.m. – Camps open to the public
10 a.m. – Drill by re-enactors
10 a.m.-Noon – Conway Women's Chorus
Noon-2 p.m. – Salted Dogs Band
1p.m. – Soldier's Formation
2 p.m. – Re-enactment of The Battle of Reed's Bridge
5 p.m. – Camps closed to the public
9:30a.m. – Camps open to the public
10a.m. – Church Service
11a.m. – Church Choir
Noon – Drill by re-enactors

Fantastic! This summer I would love to make this again adding some freshly sliced tomatoes and basil.
All I can say is wonderful! Thank you for a quick, rich, and good tasting sandwich.
Although I have not made it this way yet, I certainly will, because I can tell in advance this would taste wonderful. Thanks for the idea. Alan Leonetti

However after resizing pictures to fit these settings the pictures do not show up correctly on my site e.g. image is cropped so only a section is showing.

We used three approaches to assess potential effects of climate change on birds of the Northeast. First, we created distribution and abundance models for common bird species using climate, elevation, and tree species variables and modeled how bird distributions might change as habitats shift. Second, we assessed potential effects on high-elevation birds, especially Bicknell's thrush (Catharus bicknelli), that may be particularly vulnerable to climate change, by using statistical associations between climate, spruce-fir forest vegetation and bird survey data. Last, we complemented these projections with an assessment of how habitat quality of a migratory songbird, the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) might be affected by climate change. Large changes in bird communities of the Northeast are likely to result from climate change, and these changes will be most dramatic under a scenario of continued high emissions. Indeed, high-elevation bird species may currently be at the threshold of critical change with as little as 1°C warming reducing suitable habitat by more than half. Species at mid elevations are likely to experience declines in habitat quality that could affect demography. Although not all species will be affected adversely, some of the Northeast's iconic species, such as common loon and black-capped chickadee, and some of its most abundant species, including several neotropical migrants, are projected to decline significantly in abundance under all climate change scenarios. No clear mitigation strategies are apparent, as shifts in species' abundances and ranges will occur across all habitat types and for species with widely differing ecologies.

|And the current research
And the current research suggests that concussions are only a partial factor in the development of CTE. The research suggests that subconcussive contact (the type of collisions that linemen have when they knock helmets together on virtually every play or that happens to linebackers when they use their helmet in a tackle) is a larger factor.
(Given this research, it will be interesting to see what happens as research is expanded to soccer players, who have the same kinds of impacts when heading the ball, part of the reason that US soccer has now banned headers up to U-12 or U-14).
Anyway, here's the most important summary of relatively recent research.

Not to downplay a really well played defensive game by UM, but Ohio State had one of the two most dynamic offenses in college football (along with Clemson). Florida's offensive coordinator was Doug Nussmeier.
The hope from the Florida game comes from the offense's performance against a strong Florida front. Particularly the progress in the running game.

Both important points. You're seeing exactly the same thing going on in the Big 12 right now, with university presidents driving expansion and also driving it in potentially unexpected directions, like Tulane, as a means to bolster the conference's academic credentials (as opposed particularly to Memphis).
Also, what leverage does UM have to make the switch? Michigan fans are upset, but it's not like the schedule, as is, causes issues for the conference at large. About the only way I could see it happening is if UM gave State two more back to back home games, but that, of course, would be seen, by those inclined, as proof of Manuel's incompetence. But the fact is that UM's got no leverage.

|I don't think it was a price
I don't think it was a price paid to State to stay in the east. I think the Big Ten schedulers sat down and decided, "The three historic powers in the East are UM, OSU, and Penn State. Those teams should have one home and one away game against each other every season." With that the biggest priority, they just scheduled the rest. Obviously, MSU and PSU have swapped places the past few years, and I think it's likely to continue, given the coaching discrepancy. But I think that was the priority.
Brandon could have made it known that alternating OSU and MSU at home was essential to UM, but he didn't, and MSU was happy to accept back to back home games.

|Wore out his welcome...
Just to add to the questioning of the "he wears out his welcome" meme ... Stanford has unique conditions that could tend to lead a hyper-competitive coach to complain, namely, its admission standards that are above and beyond almost any other NCAA program, and yet there are no signs that there was any tension between Harbaugh and admissions or other aspects of the university. The only story that ever came out were complaints about his expensive toilet, and I'm not even sure those came from within Stanford.
And did any of his former players at SF actually complain that his style was wearing them down? I think it's likely the whole idea was cooked up within the toxic atmosphere of the 49er front office.

Is Hinton writing anywhere now?
Grantland had just really started to cover college football extensively when it was killed. It's too bad. Michael Weinreb isn't missed, but both Hinton and Holly Anderson (who seems to be politics editor at MTV News) were good reads.
And UM would seem to get 3 clear checks (First-term coach, DL of Doom, and Elite Secondary). Don't think we'd clear the elite recruiting bar given the two down years under Hoke (players that will be sophomores and juniors this year... apart from Peppers). Might be mitigated, though, by the fact that Hoke's best classes are redshirt seniors and seniors this year.

|I wouldn't be surprised if
I wouldn't be surprised if the night game actually depresses interest in single-game tickets slightly among Iowa fans. If you're an Iowa fan without season tix, chances are decent that you live somewhat far from Iowa City, a night game means getting a hotel (often for two nights) or requires a significant late night drive. You're probably not going to go with young kids. As the poster below suggests, there are a number of other attractive games, in division, to go to. And it's also late in the season with a likelihood to be cold.

|Why let coaches call time out
Why let coaches call time out at all? They're not on the floor playing the game. Let the players make the decisions. If they're well coached, they'll know when to call time out. If they're not, they won't. (This should hold for football too).

The real wrench in this plan is the Rose Bowl, which won't give up the 4:30 PM slot on New Years Day (and to a lesser extent the Sugar, which claims it has a right to the 8 PM slot, but that's a much more recent thing).
Given that, the best solution would be for the Rose and Sugar to always host the semis, giving up a right to host the championship game, which would rotate among the other 4. The second best solution, in the years when the Rose is not hosting, would be a NYD with a 1 PM semi-final, Rose Bowl, 8 PM semi-final.

No kidding. What this plan seems ideally suited to do is to create strife in those parties as people are checking their phones during dinner, sneaking away to watch the game and ignoring people who aren't interested in college football. It also sucks for the hosts who have to decide whether to have a tv on or not.

That week is a dumpster fire competitively in the league. Even if Wisconsin comes in with two losses (which is likely since they play LSU @ Lambeau and @ MSU before they play us), the next best game is Northwestern @ Iowa, and that's already scheduled for noon. In fact, it looks like the only other game that doesn't already have a time, according to ESPN, is Minnesota @ PSU. There's virtually no chance that ABC chooses that game for the 3:30 slot.

It's definitely sterile, but their stadium is right across the river from Rutgers main New Brunswick campus and in the middle of a secondary campus that houses the golf course, various athletic stuff, etc. It's really not much farther than the distance between central campus and the stadium at Michigan (or much different than the distinction between central campus and south campus).

I've been down to Rutgers from the city fairly frequently for academic events. Really easy. It's about an hour on either Amtrak and NJ Transit out of Penn Station. Timing seems to be about the same. Obviously a lot more NJ transit trains and it's substantially cheaper. And I don't think all Amtrak trains stop there.
Stations very close to campus. Seems like the stadium's a bit further away. About 2 miles to the station. Obviously, with a night game, the train back is kind of a pain.
All the advice I've ever gotten for going to Rutgers is "don't drive" because the parking's such a pain, but that's on a weekday. Don't know what the gameday situations are like.

|Jack's a great vet to have
Jack's a great vet to have but he's coming off an ACL and there's a team option to void his contract for $500,000 vs paying him $6.2. Hard to see the Nets picking that up when they've got so much dead money
|5 weeks 18 hours ago
|They don't really have
They don't really have anything to lose. They're a terrible team that's guaranteed to be terrible for the next few years, until they get out from under all the dumb trades they made when they were transitioning to Brooklyn. They have to take a gamble that a guy with lottery upside gets over his health issues, even if it's not likely. When you're a bad team picking in the 20s, you might as well go for the 7/1 shot at drafting a guy who can become an all star, because you've already got a whole roster of 1-2 tool journeymen.

|Seriously, Brooklyn has by
Seriously, Brooklyn has by far the most boring roster in the NBA, just totally devoid of exciting players. It's probably the worst roster too. For all the problems of Philly, at least they've got an imagined plan for how they get better. For the Nets, they basically just have to sit and wait until they start to get their draft picks back at the end of the decade.
Caris is exactly the kind of move they have to make, ie, pick a guy with lottery potential but a bad injury history, probably too high, in the hopes that he hits.
|5 weeks 18 hours ago
|Good in terms of playing
Good in terms of playing time, but as we've seen with Nik in Philly, that's not always a good thing. Worry would be that the only guys on the roster that can occupy a leadership role and teach Caris, and the other young players, how to be a pro and to understand how the game is played in the NBA are Brook Lopez, who's on the training block, and Jarrett Jack, who's coming off an ACL, has a hefty contract ($6.3 milliion) and a $500,000 team option buy-out.
Jack is known to be a good, solid, team-oriented vet, so if he's there, it'll be good for Caris, but it's hard to see the Nets paying $5 million+ for leadership.

Caldwell Schools Electronics Recycling Collection
On October 07, 2013 Save to calendar
Posted by Becky
Categories: School Events
?Got Junk?
Caldwell Schools need your broken, old, worn out, or unused electronics. The Caldwell Science Department is is pairing up with Electronics Recycling Services in Bellaire, OH in attempt to recycle as many electronics as possible versus sending hazardous waste into our landfills and surrounding environment. Caldwell Schools will be competing with Shenandoah in hopes of being awarded $650.00 for first place (most electronics recycled by the pound) or $350.00 for second place. An additional $1.00 will be earned for each cell phone recycled as well. Old/unused electronics will be collected in the shop rooms at both CHS & CES during the week of Oct. 7-12 from 7:30-8:15 a.m. and 2:15-3:30 p.m. Please contact Mrs. Hesson at CHS @ 732-5634, with any questions. Go to the school's website, www.caldwell.k12.oh.us to access a flyer with more information.

Mary Carey's newest pit stop on her campaign trail includes a few leisurely scenes with her in all her glory. First, she indulges in an entertaining girl/girl with Tyler Faith on a mini stage complete with some dildo action. She also takes a breather to do an inverted deep throat swallowing act on an appreciative Steven St. Croix who, bending to politically correct actions if not ambitions, keeps his dick shrink-wrapped during their actual sex encounter.
Carey's other friends do less restrained couplings as evidenced by Lee Stone's plungings into Gia Givanna, an anal with Cindy Crawford and Jack Lawrence, and Lauren Kain's reverse cowgirl fun with John West.
Good stuff.

Description: This is a concise review of currently approved chemotherapeutic agents and biologic agents used in the treatment of cancer. It is an update of the 2011 edition, and includes four agents approved by the FDA since then.
Purpose: The purpose is to collect the chemotherapeutic and biologic agents currently used in clinical practice in one concise reference. This book also acts as a guide for practicing oncologists to existing chemotherapeutic agents, with information on toxicities and recommendations for dose modifications.
Audience: It rightly targets practicing oncologists, and is also an excellent resource for hematology/oncology fellows and oncology nurses. The contributors are among the leading experts in medical oncology.
Features: The book highlights the key principles of cancer chemotherapy, different chemotherapeutic regimens, and the settings in which they are used. The agents are covered in alphabetical order, with quick reviews of the mechanism of actions, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, toxicities and special considerations for the agents. There is also a chapter on agents used to manage chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. A shortcoming is the absence of a table/diagram of the different drug classes showing in which group each of the agents belongs.
Assessment: This is an excellent and concise resource for hematologists/oncologists. This edition is justified, especially with the four new agents approved by the FDA in the last year.

Readjust priorities to repair education
The recent News editorial, "Fixing education," noted that China has begun to back away from a system many feel is too intense for the students. But it didn't explain why. China is concerned about losing its competitive edge in the world's economy. Chinese officials have repeatedly told their schools to reduce testing, homework and other academic burdens on young students because they have realized that spectacular international test scores do not lead to invention, creativity or imagination. Impetus to seek these attributes comes from realizing that their skilled employees and managers must be able to think and invent their own products if they want to rise beyond their current economic plateau.
In contrast, U.S. businesses excel at developing innovative products. Our democratic traditions and current management guidance often encourage employees to challenge the status quo, to work around rigid authority or inflexible rules. We undertake joint efforts often without orders from above to get things done in nontraditional ways. Historically, we have patented more inventions than any other country in the world.
Isn't it logical that we would celebrate and reward our children's original thinking, imaginative problem-solving and divergent routes to success? Apparently not, inasmuch as our federal and state policymakers make up cumbersome rules and award massive grants in a crusade to race us to the top of international assessment programs. Truth is, U.S. students achieve differently, often in ways found more in extracurricular activities and clubs than in classrooms where mandated curriculum and written tests must be aligned.
If today's students are to become tomorrow's global business leaders, we should build educationally on what we already do well economically. We need to readjust our priorities and embrace the lessons China is trying so hard to learn.

School Travel Plans - case studies
These case studies showing how School Travel Plans can help reduce congestion outside schools and promote ways to encourage sustainable transport:Case study 1 The Community Partnership Approach
Bellfield Infants School in Northfield decided to write a School Travel Plan to reduce congestion outside the school gate and tap into Safe Routes to School funding to improve the physical environment outside their school. The school often found pupils were not walking to school as a result of the busy roads close by and decided to incorporate this need for Safe Routes to School within their travel plan.
After the school underwent a feasibility study, Birmingham City Council informed the school they had been successful in obtaining Safe Routes to School funding and would see physical alterations to the existing road network. These alterations included new school warning signs, new road markings and sections of road outside the school lined with red anti-skid tarmac. New pedestrian crossings and refuges were installed together with guard rails, speed cushions and double yellow lines.
As well as improving the environment for pupils by making it safer to walk and cycle to school, a Park and Stride site was also launched. The School Travel Plan Advisor for the area contacted the local Sainsbury store, which was situated towards the back of the school, requesting the use of their car park for parents who lived to far away from the school to walk their children in each day. The store agreed and a number of parents now park and stride their children to school.
As a result of this community approach more children are now walking to school. This allows them to walk with friends, improve their fitness levels, reduce congestion outside the school gate and increase parent and child interaction.Case study 2 Ways to Promote Cycling to School
Wyndcliffe Primary School in Small Heath wanted to promote cycling amongst pupils as a way to reducing congestion outside the school gate and to improve pupil fitness levels. In order for the school to do this, their government grant of over ,000 for completing a School Travel Plan helped purchase state of the art cycle lockers and shelters for those children wanting to cycle to school. Older children also took part in cycling training provided by Birmingham City Council and local Street Wardens for Small Heath further helped train the children and offered ways to keep their bikes safe and secure.
Wyndcliffe are also aiming to achieve Birmingham Healthy School Standard, which School Travel Plans links into. Cycling is one part of their target which includes reviving a nature area as an outdoor classroom, getting the children to make healthy food choices and improving their fitness levels. Simon Cotter, teacher at Wyndcliffe Primary and responsible for the Travel Plan says t Wyndcliffe the whole school is working together to become healthier. Cycling is an important part of this. It is an excellent form of exercise, makes children aware of road safety issues and is also great fun./p>

Welcome to The Tiger Den...
Our motto, " REUNITING THE PAST; SUPPORTING THE FUTURE ", describes our mission to provide service to and promote fellowship among all Malakoff HS exes.
A high school alumni association is a rarity, especially among small high schools.
MHS graduating classes have been from 60 - 80 seniors every year for the past 50 years.
Organizing a class reunion is timely & costly. Typical class reunions only garner about 20% of the class. A class of 65 may have 13 to 14 show up. We can help with your reunion by providing all that is necessary to have one, the space, the food, the events & the fun!
We provide ways & means to reunite classmates and friends through a weekend of activities during Homecoming. We host a variety of events to provide scholarships & support of other local non-profits.

- assigned_to: nobody --> kshawkin
- status: open --> pending
Per discussion at TEI Council meeting in Paris in November 2011, we agreed that uses of @key can all be handled by @ref, using ref="urn:<NID>:<NSS>". See RFC 2141 for the syntax of a URN and RFC 3406 for how a project might register a NID and thereby avoid collisions with other URNs.
Council's vision is that we would like to deprecate @key some day but that it's too widely used today to do so. As an interim measure, we will modify the Guidelines to make the point that people should switch to @ref wherever @key is mentioned.
As an alternative to using a URN with a non-registered NID, you could use ref="<scheme>:<hierarchicalpart>", which would effectively be identical to what's in the original ticket except without "urn:". Need to find someone who better understands these things to know which is better.
Note that if we decide that URN with a non-registered NID, we should consider revising att.readFrom and section 22.5 (#TDbuild) to recommend inserting "urn:" in front of "tei:" to make it a URN.
Previous comment should read:
Note that if we decide to recommend a URN with a non-registered NID as an alternative to a URI with an unregistered scheme (ref="<scheme>:<hierarchicalpart>"), we should consider revising att.readFrom and section 22.5 (#TDbuild) to recommend inserting "urn:" in front of "tei:" to make it a URN.
Sebastian reported on tei-council on 2011-11-13 that "computer sciency types" at Oxford felt that a URI with a non-registered scheme was slightly less abusive.
For URI vs. URN, also see FR 2919640.
Kevin asked Michael Sperberg-McQueen to weigh in, and he wrote by email:
The people I know who have spoken most eloquently on this topic
(namely former colleagues at W3C) would all say "Why on earth
not an http URL, so people who need to find out what the thing
is can dereference the URI and find some useful information? If
you are concerned about permanence, why not make it a PURL?"
I'm not sure if they would have a preference as between the two options
you mention.
He also suggested contacting Eric Miller (formerly of OCLC and now of Zepheira).
I suggest that this get folded into the subcommittee proposed by Martin Holmes at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&group_id=106328&atid=644065&aid=2493417 and on tei-council.
I agree with the original ticket, for soft deprecation of @key.
I'm less certain about whether we should be recommending URIs vs URNs but lean towards unregulated URIs at the moment.
Per discussion in Ann Arbor, Kevin will choose URI or URN and carry out this ticket now (because it is going to happen regardless of the outcome of Martin's group) and then send my revision number to Lou for review the changes. But keep in mind that <country key="FR"/> should be left as key because it's not an internal scheme.
I have done further reading on URIs and URNs.
We could propose use of a URI, either with a registered or unregistered scheme. RFC 4395 describes the procedure for registering schemes with the IANA. However, the bar for registration is fairly high: among other things, "New URI schemes SHOULD have clear utility to the broad Internet community" and "a URI scheme definition SHOULD define the applicable set of operations that may be performed on a resource using the URI as its identifier". It seems to me that most uses of @key would not satisfy these. While there are many unregistered (de facto) URI schemes in use today, but I don't think it's a good idea for the Guidelines to prescribe such practice since the point of registering schemes is to avoid collisions.
As for URNs, I realize now that they aren't a good choice since RFC 2141 never advanced beyond being a proposed standard.
However, the solution Syd proposed on http://purl.org/TEI/fr/2919640 -- for use of the IANA-registered "tag" URI scheme (as described in RFC 4151) -- appears to be exactly what we need as a replacement for a deprecated @key. This scheme explicitly does not require any registration of the name of the taggingEntity beyond what is already done through DNS registration (or having an email address).

Image Titles are missing. There's an element.style that says display: none but I can't find how to counteract it or turn it off.
Apparently 3.5 turned off using Titles as tooltips.
The titles are there in the images though and should be available.
There ought to be be a Title before the Caption. The source says:

Firebug tells me:
element.style {
display: none;
I keep looking at this bit of code, line 438 in galleria-galleria.php but don't know what to do with it.
data_config: function(img) {
// will extract and return image captions and titles from the source:
return {
title: $(img).attr('title'),
description: $(img).parents('.gallery-item').find('.gallery-caption').text()
I'm using galleria-1.2.8.js. It worked fine until WP 3.5
Thanks for any suggestions!

This question already has an answer here:
- PHP - Redirect and send data via POST 13 answers
I currently have a custom shopping cart which sends straight to 2Checkout and need to use the same form for different payment methods.
To do this I need to get the form to submit to my own server first, then the server to redirect to the chosen payment gateway OR a page on my site detailing other payment options.
How would I go about redirecting the user with the variables as a post method in PHP (not javascript)?
My current code doesn't work as the user doesn't leave the page and they need to...
//$url = 'https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/spurchase';
$url = 'getpost.php';
//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string, '&');
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERS

Does anyone know of way to get the double click to work better without sacrificing the pointer speed?

Momentum celebrates 10 years in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, and also in honor of Momentum's 10th season, three up-and-coming Twin Cities-based choreographers -- Kenna Cottman, Chris Schlichting, and Kaleena Miller -- will be presenting new works in the garden as part of August's Free First Saturday. While past anniversaries of the Sculpture Garden have included commissioned work from internationally acclaimed choreographers such as Merce Cunningham and Bill T. Jones, for this occasion the Walker chose to highlight the growth of the Twin Cities dance scene.

"Momentum is part of that landscape," she says. Steinwald implemented program peer group showings of the works into Momentum a couple of months before being presented to the public. This is a way for participants to give non-critical feedback, offering their fellow artists observations about what images resonate. They don't try to shape the pieces, but rather articulate what is rising to the top as they are watching.

"We could have invited an internationally acclaimed choreographer, but we felt we wanted to highlight the growth of the Twin Cities dance scene," says Bithers. "Many of our artists are touring regularly nationally, and getting awards and recognition more than any other time in the history of Minnesota. We felt it was the appropriate and right thing to do to spend the commissioning money on artists who have graduated out of Momentum, but who we don't have space for in the season."

Deutsche Telekom CEO Hasn't Been Incriminated in Probe So Far
The Bonn prosecutor's office has so far found nothing incriminating against Deutsche Telekom AG's Chief Executive Officer Rene Obermann in an investigation into alleged bribery in Hungary and Macedonia.
"The investigation continues, but we haven't found any incriminating evidence against Obermann so far," Friedrich Apostel, spokesman for the Bonn prosecutors, said in a telephone interview today. He declined to comment on a report by Rheinische Post that the probe will be closed soon.
The case, which is also being investigated by U.S. securities regulators and the U.S. Department of Justice, concerns Deutsche Telekom units in Hungary and Macedonia. The prosecutors are investigating whether bribes were used to prevent Macedonia from opening the nation's telecommunications to competition and raided the private homes of Obermann and other people in late August.
There are claims Obermann told the CEO of the Makedonski Telekom unit he would only approve dividend payments if the nation's telecom market remained closed, Manfred Balz, Deutsche Telekom's management board member for legal affairs, told reporters in September.
Balz said at the time that the allegations against Obermann are false and that he expected the probe against him to be closed "swiftly."
Obermann is one of eight suspects in the investigation. Deutsche Telekom spokesman Mark Nierwetberg declined to comment on the probe via phone today.

"?Mountain Biking for Softies? Tribuvan Raj Path" Top 5 Page for this destination Nepal Travelogue by into-thin-air
Nepal Travel Guide: 4,251 reviews and 11,969 photos
The First time I visited Nepal was back in 1994, This trip I drove from England and entered Nepal at Birganj and then drove over the Tribuvan Raj Path into Kathmandu.
Since then I have always had a hankering to go back and have a look at places like Daman which is one of the beautiful villages on the Tribuvan Raj Path and this trip I finally got around to doing this ? But this time not in an old Land-Rover but on a Mountain Bike !!
So now I had decided that I wanted to do this little trip, the next question was how was I got to sort out the logistics of doing it.
As usual my first call was to my old friend Nirmal at HMA, he said that he would be happy to help me put the trip together.
So ? the first thing to do was to find a Good Mountain Bike for hire in Kathmandu ? That might Sound Easy but the reality is somewhat different ? There are Plenty of Mountain Bike Hire Shops but they are usually hiring out Utter Crap where as I needed something at least half Decent as the route was some 2.000 meters downhill ? So things like brakes were essential. But as usual Nirmal came up with the goods and at a fair price too, Less than $20 for the two day hire and that included a tool-kit, pump and spare inner-tube.
Then next thing was how to transport myself, my two friends who were accompanying me and the three Mountain Bikes to Simbanjyang, The highest point on the Tribuvan Raj Path and the starting point of our little trip.
After making Numerous telephone calls Nirmal discovered that there is still one bus a day that plies the route from Kathmandu to Hetauda over the Tribuvan Raj Path. The trouble was that it didn't actually start off from Kathmandu but from one of the obscure suburbs on the way to the Rim. As I wasn't confident of being able to find this bus Nirmal again stepped forward and kindly offered to escort us to the bus and make sure that we were on the right one and heading in the right direction !!
So, at 05.30 on Friday March 19th we met Nirmal, picked up our Mountain Bikes from the Hire Shop (They had kindly agreed to open early to facilitate this) and cycled through the early Kathmandu Traffic through Durbar Square and then through Patan to an obscure little back street where the bus departed from. We loaded the Mountain Bikes onto the roof of the bus, Nirmal negotiated the fare, 180NPR each including the bikes and we were on our way !!
Four hours later we were at Simbanjyang (2488m) and ready to begin our 50k, 2.000m downhill ride.
We had decided to split the trip into two days so only rode about 15k the first day. Accommodation isn't over abundant on the Tribuvan Raj Path and what there is falls into two distinct categorises ? Either Very Expensive in one of the ?Himalayan View? type resorts or Very Simple in one of the local hotels.
We opted for the latter but did take a look into ?Everest Panorama Resort? as we passed, I had also looked in here on my 1994 overland trip and then it was a Swish resort, Sadly now it is run down shabby and neglected But still Very Expensive, so I am sure we made the right choice with our simple hotel near the village of Palung.
The ride it's self was Thrilling, The Views were Awesome and you could see the Himalayan Chain in front of us. The road condition was much better than I remembered it from 16 years before, but best of all was the lack of traffic on the route.
Our accommodation was indeed simple, But at 200NPR a night it was also cheap, The other great thing was that this area isn't used to seeing many tourists so we created quite a bit of interest with all the local children coming out and taking a look at us. These children proved to be our main entertainment for the evening as they were keen on finding out where we came from, what we were doing and then practising their English on us !!
Early the next morning we were off again, Continuing downhill at first then the only uphill section of our route, This was only just over 100m on a well graded road to Tistung La, 2030m
Then after that it was All downhill to Naubise here the Tribuvan Raj path joins the main Kathmandu highway.
Again the road was Excellent and hardly any traffic to spoil our enjoyment, hairpin bends followed hairpin bend, Awesome Views and again glimpses of the Himalayan Chain ahead.
On reaching Naubise we simply flagged down a mini-bus, secured our bikes on the roof and drove back to Kathmandu. OK ? Some of you might want to ride this section, But for me as we were back in traffic and the road is uphill the mini-bus seemed the much more sensible option.
We decided to call our trip ?Mountain Biking for Softies? - can you see why ;-)
