MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Taylor Dugas tripled with one away in the top of the ninth to break an 1-all tie to give the Thunder a 2-1 victory over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in front of 2,417 at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium Monday.
Yeral Sanchez singled with one away before Dugas delivered the decisive hit off Richard Bleier (1-2). Taylor Garrison (1-0) got the win even though he couldn't preserve the 1-0 lead he had. It was his first career Double-A victory. Cole Kimball came on and got the final out for his first save.
Trenton (15-9) improved to 3-1 on their road trip while the Fisher Cats dropped to 11-11.
Starter Zach Nuding allowed four hits with a walk and four strikeouts in 5â innings.
Sanchez scored on a strike-three, two-out wild pitch in the top of the seventh inning. New Hampshire got the equalizer in the eighth on Brad Glenn's RBI groundout. The run was unearned due to a fielding error.
• Thunder first baseman Kyle Roller was named Eastern League Player of the Week.
The 26-year old hit .526 (10-for-19) with two doubles, four home runs, eight RBIs, six runs scored, four walks and a 1.263 slugging percentage in five games last week.

Crackdown 2 up for July release
As if the sweltering summer heat won't be risk enough, Microsoft wants to up the chances of melting your Xbox 360 by having you play a new copy of Crackdown 2 this July.
Just two days after celebrating US independence - July 6 - will the Americans get the game, followed by Europe on July 9. While that's slightly later than the pledged first half of 2010 release, we're willing to let it slide.
A demo of the game is expected between now and then, though Microsoft hasn't announced a specific date.
Crackdown 2 will be available exclusively for Xbox 360 on July 6 in the US and July 9 in Europe. We suggest looking into getting an air conditioner in the meantime.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The New York Public Library is cutting hours of operation as a result of a $10 million funding cut by the city, the library announced today.
All sites will continue to offer six-day service however, with four sites, including the Todt Hill-Westerleigh branch on Staten Island, open seven days each week.
On average, library branches will be open 46.6 hours per week -- 11 percent less than the 52.7-hour average in September 2009.
All sites will continue to offer six-day service however, with four sites open seven days.
NYPL offered voluntary separation and early retirement programs to reduce staff, resulting in nearly 100 workers stepping down.
"Access to information is central to the library's mission, so maintaining six-day service was a priority in these difficult economic times," said NYPL President and CEO Paul LeClerc. "The staff worked diligently to find ways to keep library doors open so New Yorkers can continue to utilize the critical services that they depend on now more than ever. Unfortunately, the reality is that difficult choices had to be made, and many branches will operate with very limited staffing. We ask the public - which fought so persistently and passionately earlier this year against even greater budget cuts -- to be patient with us as we work through these issues."
The new hours will go into effect Sept. 7. For a list of the new hours, click here.
The New York Public Library operates branches in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island.


text: As soon as a measurement is performed on electrically conductive objects or the measurement needs to be fast and precise, there is no avoiding eddy current principles. More than 400 sensors in the standard range provide the appropriate solution for most applications. The application areas range from the laboratory to test rigs and mechanical engineering systems through to to highvolume use in the automotive industry. As well as the eddyNCDT standard series, the complete electronics of a measurement channel can be integrated in the cable for small series applications. The costs of a measurement channel in this version are only a fraction of the cost of a conventional measurement channel. eddyNCDT sensors are used for dynamic pressure loads of more than 3,000 bar. Due to their robust construction, the sensors are also used continuously in oil or water. Eliminating the winding core enables the sensor to be used in magnetic fields. The measurement is not influenced even by dirt in the measuring gap so that measurements onto a metal through plastics can be performed. A special adjustment of the electronics to the measuring object results in extremely precise results. The new 3-point software calibration also results in very fast and simple linearization during operation.

Well if your friend is determine to stay here for college, i think the best bet is for her to look for work around where she is staying. Schools can help you look for work. Try to apply for scholarships, it can help lower her tuition, there's also work-study programs, the school she is going to attend should have all this information for her.
If the tuition is too high maybe find a alternative school for her budget at the time being, maybe when her financial situation is more stable and she can plan everything on how she can pay for her tuition for the school she is determine to go to and transfer her credits to that school.
from my personal experience and opinion, stay away from loans, it will hurt you in the long run. I learned the hard way=T
Maybe you can give him/her a hand with a place to stay until she gets on her feet.
Good luck to your friend and i hoped i helped a little=)

what's so hard to decide?
either free tuition or pay for it yourself.

dude MrBklynW, it's illegal for foreigners to work in the US under an F-1 student visa unless it's TA/school related work with special CPT permit. You cannot get loans here bc of your status, no one will give you money and you get 0 financial aid. Unless you are rich or have tons of scholarships, go back home.
kffight3r (rep: 766) posted Oct 14, 2012
lols then work illegally=P
Well i was just giving suggestion, i wasn't going to get into specifics on paper work. I'm sure if one is determine, they'll find a way.....Get married with a U.S citizen, you are set.
I apology if i gave any inaccurate information, was mostly sharing from my own experience in providing for myself and paying for school.
but i guess kffight3r is right. you can't work here, with out special permit or apply for H1-B work visa (which is already capped, from what i research)
Anyone here familiar with foreign policy here?
MrBklynW (rep: 425k) posted Oct 15, 2012
College costs a fortune here, and good paying work for someone fresh out of high school is going to be very hard to find, not to mention the time that work will take away from her studies. Financial aid is almost always going to require a financial statement from the parents, even if they refuse to pay anything. I'm going to assume that she has no credit to speak of just graduating from high school, and student loans are a real bad idea anyway because you generally have no way out other than death or total disability in the event that she can't pay them back, and the penalties for making late payments are absolutely draconian. A borrower can quickly end up owing 3 to 4 times what they borrowed.
I wouldn't think twice about taking the free ride from mom & dad.
fluffy (rep: 2.2k) posted Oct 15, 2012
I say mom and dad... it will only be 4 years then she can move back to the US after she gets her degree.. and if she is really motivated she can do it in less.

I have enjoyed my work at USC over the past eight years, and my appreciation for USC and the Marshall School of Business keeps growing each and every year. For my research, I have had the opportunity to visit quite a few other institutions in the US and abroad and I have grown to value the quality of the students, the faculty and the staff at the Marshall School. My students are driven, my colleagues inspired and the administration strikingly ambitious at the Marshall School. I believe that one of the essential keys to the school's success is its emphasis on research excellence, where scholars can find an ideal environment and plenty of resources for conducting research. At USC I have always felt that my research activities were recognized, supported and appreciated.
Another important factor to the success of the Marshall School is the emphasis placed on educational programs. Besides the impressive quality of traditional programs at the undergraduate and MBA levels, the advanced graduate programs (Ph.D.) are excellent. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to teach a first year Ph.D. course attended by graduate students from both the Marshall School and the Economics Department. For this opportunity I am especially thankful to Fernando Zapatero who, as FBE Chair, foresaw the relevance of macroeconomics for new finance scholars, especially for those interested in asset prices. This gave me the opportunity to interact more closely with graduate students and has been extremely helpful for my own research, which combines macroeconomics, international economics, and financial economics. Most of my work starting from my Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania is located at the cross section of macroeconomics and finance. For example, in my dissertation I studied how financial market imperfections affect the savings of entrepreneurs. As a macroeconomist, my interest in finance derives from the recognition that the financial sector is important for understanding the macroeconomic performance of an economy. In other words, what happens in the financial sector—for example, to the stock market, to the banking sector and to corporate leverages--could have significant implications for the aggregate dynamics of employment and economic growth. The research question addressed by a financial economist is to some extent inverted. For a financial economist the macro-economy is of interest because it provides insights into the performance of the stock market, the term-structure of the interest rate, and other issues typically studied in finance. In other words, a macroeconomist may look at finance because this helps explain the macroeconomy, whereas a financial economist may look at the macroeconomy because this may help explaining finance issues.
In my own view I believe that there are benefits from a closer interaction between macroeconomists and financial economists and I am fortunate to reside in the Department of Finance and Business Economics where I have had the opportunity to interact with first class financial economists and leading macroeconomists. Over time I have started to focus more on international issues. This came from the realization that economies have become more globalized and there are important limitations in focusing on single countries. My latest work is addressing how liquidity shocks can generate worldwide crises and global macroeconomic contractions, as in the most recent recession. This leads me to another quality of the Marshall School which I have grown to appreciate. The increasing internationalization and the mixture of countries represented in the student body and the faculty, mirror Marshall's commitment to international economics in undergraduate and graduate business education. I feel the school's increasing internationalization helps prepare students for their professional lives in which they will encounter coworkers, collaborators, and clients from many corners of the earth. In the classroom and in faculty seminars, the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds is an important asset at the Marshall School and I hope I can continue to contribute with my own perspective resulting from growing up in Central Italy and studying there until I began my doctoral studies in the US.

Maple Syrup: Beyond the Pancake. It was the phrase, beyond the pancake that spoke to me as I read the various descriptions of cooking classes being offered
at The Different Drummer's Kitchen in Northampton. I wondered is this class for me? Of course, I serve maple syrup with pancakes or French toast. But, is French toast really beyond a pancake? Lately, I'd taken to adding a tablespoon or two of maple syrup to mashed butternut squash or mashed rutabaga. But, how adventurous is that? So, I signed up for the class given by Mary Ellen Warchol and Denise Lemay from the Stockbridge Farm in South Deerfield. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was delighted and I can say with certainty that now I, too, am beyond the pancake.
Mary Ellen and Denise are sisters, cooking sisters, who run a relaxed and comfortable class. Clearly, they know their subject, and they're happy to share.
They served the cocktail mix right as the class began. Mary Ellen pointed out that we could use different kinds of nuts, too, in this very tasty mix. Whatever suits our fancy.
Savory Maple Cocktail Mix
1 ½ cups peeled hazelnuts, unsalted and untoasted
½ cup pumpkin seeds, unsalted and untoasted
1 ½ cups whole cashews, unsalted and untoasted
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, cashews, sage, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper in medium sized bowl. Stir to combine all ingredients. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top and stir until all nuts are coated. Spread the nuts in a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake, stirring every five minutes until nuts are brown and fragrant, about 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. This mix will keep in a tightly sealed container for about one week. However, my prediction is that these nuts won't last one week.
The Ladies' Tartine makes an outstanding appetizer, a tasty snack, or a great sandwich for lunch. We need to mince, mince, mince our rosemary here.
Maple Apple Tartine
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon minced rosemary
pinch of smoked or plain sea salt
6 slices dense country bread
1 tart apple
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1/3 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped
zest of one orange
freshly ground pepper
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, maple syrup, salt, and rosemary. Spread this mixture over one side of each slice of bread. Oven toast the bread on a parchment lined sheet tray, with the maple-rosemary buttered side up until golden and crispy, 5-10 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, cut the apple in half, then into very thin slices.
When the bread is toasted, remove the sheet tray from the oven. Top the toasted bread slices with a layer of the thinly sliced apple. Follow with a layer of cheese on top of the apples. Sprinkle the toasted chopped nuts over the cheese. Return the pan to the oven until the cheese melts.
Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly grated orange peel over the top of each slice. Dust with some freshly ground pepper and a final dash of salt.
Mary Ellen is a strong advocate for making our own salad dressings. Most home made salad dressings are quick and easy to make, economical, taste better, and are healthier than the processed kind.
Mary Ellen added some chopped fennel and endive to her spring greens for this next recipe, and she is very careful not to over-dress the salad. Drizzle really means drizzle.
Spring Greens with Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons shallots, finely minced
salt and pepper to taste
finely chopped chives to be added at the last minute
Whisk the vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice, mustard, shallots, and a pinch each of salt and pepper together until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, mixing constantly until dressing has emulsified. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Mary Ellen was preparing this salad for a crowd, so she used 8 cups of spring greens plus some thinly sliced fennel and endive. She added some finely chopped chives at the very last minute, then, very carefully drizzled 3 tablespoons of her freshly made vinaigrette over the 8 cups of greens, and, then, gave all a final, good toss.
Israeli couscous is really pasta, and once you taste it, you'll agree. Both Mary Ellen and Denise are very respectful of fresh herbs. They appreciate their value, and have learned that to get the best flavor from an herb, it's often best to wait until the last moment to add it to mix.
We should keep this pasta in the hot pot until serving, and we should add the herbs right before we're going to serve this dish.
Herbed Pasta
1 pound orzo or Israeli couscous
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley*
1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion
Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain and add the butter and olive oil. Stir to coat pasta. Just before serving, add the herbs, a light touch with the salt and pepper to taste. Toss well and serve.
*A quote from the Ladies' notes: other herbs may be substituted or added as desired. "Follow your taste buds!"
And, why not one more recipe? For the road, maybe? You'll love it!
Pure, pure, pure, we're talking the syrup. This recipe comes from In a Vermont Kitchen by Amy Lyon and Lynne Andreen, and I have it on good authority that it's better than Irish coffee. Let me know what you think.
Amy's Maple Coffee
8 cups freshly brewed strong coffee
1 cup pure maple syrup
10 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick, 3 inches long, and broken into pieces
10 whole star anise
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Bring the coffee to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the maple syrup, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise. Simmer for 15 minutes.
As the coffee and spices simmer, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
To serve: Strain the coffee through a sieve into a pitcher. Then, pour into mugs or glass mugs for a special presentation. Top with the whipped cream. Enjoy! Makes 6-8 servings.

This study examines the different types, of collaboration used by providers to widen participation in further education and training in England between 2001 and 2003 and explores their effectiveness. The first section, an introduction, sets the scene for the study and definitions are offered for key terms 'collaboration' and 'widening participation.' Using a case-study approach, employing multiple methods of data collection, the researchers conclude that various collaborative approaches can be effectively used to recruit members of ethnic minority communities (as defined by the Learning and Skills Council) and the long-term unemployed into further education and training programmes. The evidence is, however, less conclusive regarding the contribution of collaborative approaches to enabling members of these communities to achieve their learning aims. Finally, a number of recommendations are made for improving collaborative practices.

The approximately 85,000 part-time teaching staff working in further education (FE) and adult and community learning (ACL) are often seen as a 'problem'. The dominant view is that the intrinsic 'part-timeness' of these staff tends to marginalise them, meaning they remain under-recognised and largely unsupported. However, this picture is over-simplified and this article examines how part-time staff in fact make creative use of professional autonomy and agency to mitigate the problems of casual employment conditions, using results gained from Learning and Skills Development Agency-sponsored research (2002-2006) with 700 part-time staff. The question of agency was reported as a key factor in part-time employment. In addition, change was identified as being necessary for the professional agency of part-timers to be harnessed as the sector responds to improvement agendas, following from the Foster Report and FE White Paper. The findings concluded that enhanced professionalism for part-time staff needs greater recognition and inclusion in change agendas.

This report examines the progress made by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (the Department), the then Department for Education and Skills and the Learning and Skills Council in improving adult literacy, numeracy and English language skills since NAO's previous report on Skills for Life (2004) and in particular the progress made in implementing the recommendations set out in the subsequent report by the Committee of Public Accounts, published in January 2006. The strategy to improve basic literacy and numeracy skills has helped over 5.7 million adults achieve a qualification or other specified learning aim at a cost of £5 billion. The Department and the Learning and Skills Council exceeded targets for the number of adults reaching basic literacy and numeracy standards (750,000 by 2004 and 1.5 million by 2007). The Department is also on course to meet the 2010 target of improving the basic skills of 2.25 million adults. The report recommends that the Department undertakes a follow-up to the 2003 Skills for Life survey to discover the impact of the Skills for Life programme on the nation's skills base. Although there has been growth in the number of qualified teaching staff, the overall number of numeracy teachers remains low. The Department will therefore need to consider creative and imaginative approaches to recruitment of numeracy teachers. The report also urges that the voluntary sector could be used more to engage hard-to-reach learners.

Football golf originated in Sweden, where football golf is very popular. The game offers fun and activity and everyone can participate regardless of age and previous knowledge of football or golf.
The rules of football golf are almost as in regular golf. Except that the golf ball and golf club are replaced with a football and a good pair of legs. Each hole has, as in golf, its own par (optimum number of kicks), a Tee-place (start location), a Fairway and Green.
Our courses all have 18 holes and a total length of approx. 1.2 to 1.7 km. The severity varies from hole to hole, and the objective is to use the fewest possible number of kicks to get the ball in the hole on the green from the tee. Whoever comes through the course with the fewest number of kicks is the winner. It takes approx. 1.5 to 2 hours for a group of 6 to complete a round of football golf.

The International Handbook of Gender and Poverty

Edited by Sylvia Chant
Chapter 6: Advancing the Scope of Gender and Poverty Indices: An Agenda and Work in Progress
Thomas Pogge
Thomas Pogge The World Bank's International Poverty Line (IPL) and the Human and Gender-Related Development Indices of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) guide – and often misguide – the efforts of policymakers in governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and international agencies. Political actors use such indices as proxies for the values they purport to measure: devoting certain resources toward effecting the largest achievable reduction in the poverty index, for example, on the assumption that they will thereby have brought about – or be perceived to have brought about – the largest achievable reduction in what makes poverty objectionable. Insofar as an index fails to track, money and human effort go to waste. This chapter marks the beginning of a major research effort, funded by, among others, the Australian Research Council, Oxfam, and the International Women's Development Agency. Our objective is to reflect critically on how gender equity, development, and poverty have been – and on how they ought to be – measured and tracked across a plurality of diverse natural and social environments. The immediate motivation for this project is dissatisfaction with current ways of measuring poverty, development, and gender equity. Tracking poverty as the number or proportion of people living below some IPL The best-known poverty index is a crude headcount index pioneered by the World Bank (hereafter, the Bank), which reports simply, for any population, the percentage of persons living below some international poverty line. This IPL is defined in US dollars of a certain base year – currently US$1.25 per person per day...

Rome, Georgia to Host First Domestic UCI Handcycling Race, April 22-24, 2009ROME, Ga. - The City of Rome, the Greater Rome Convention & Visitors Bureau and U.S. Handcycling will host the 4th Annual Clocktower Classic, April 22-24 in the Rome and Floyd County area. The event will again be a major component of the prestigious U.S. Handcycling Series, but will carry a new honor in 2009, as the only race in the series with the additional status of being a part of the UCI Calendar. The UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) is based in Aigle, Switzerland and is recognized by the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees as the global governing body for competitive cycling. The organization assumed responsibility and management of Paralympic Cycling (which includes handcycling) in 2008, and has included the Georgia race as a P1-level race for the first-ever international Para-Cycling Calendar, which offers all participants an opportunity to earn points toward international ranking.
The inclusion of the Clocktower Classic is a natural one, according to U.S. Handcycling Executive Director, Ian Lawless: "When we found out about the new UCI International calendar, the Clocktower Classic was an easy choice for us to put forward as our recommendation for an American race...it's incredibly popular among the athletes, the Local Organizing Committee is top-notch, and Rome is close to Atlanta which will attract a lot of top European racers."
Now in its fourth year, the Clocktower Classic is widely recognized as the premier handcycling race in the Eastern United States, and is one of only a few events in the U.S. Handcycling Series that includes all three road disciplines: Time Trial, Road Race, and Criteirum. Although the Clocktower Classic grew out of the Tour de Georgia, with the handcycling criterium first appearing at the end of Stage 2 in 2005, the event now stands on its own as a world-class bike race.
"Cycling as a sport has been embraced by the community of Rome. The relationships that we have built with the athletes while coordinating this race, has made this event one that both athletes and organizers look forward to each year. How often do you see an Gold medalist racing with an athlete who is participating in their first competition? The encouragement and camaraderie is infectious." saide Ann Hortman, the director of the Clocktower Classic.

|Re: [TowerTalk] The Most Lethal Job in America

I think they are blowing a bit of it out of proportion though. In my mid 60s, climbing 100 to 200'' was no big deal, nor is staying up there for 5 hours or more and I'm not sore the next day. Yes, the danger is there, you need the proper equipment, be safety conscious, and you do need to be in shape which I'm working at getting back into. Unfortunately, mother nature threw me a curve last April, but I'm up to 280# on a leg press, and have a heavy work out three times a week so I plan on getting back to climbing soon. I've been up as long as 10 hours and that was only 3 or 4 years back. I have no doubt I could go the 100 to 200 feet with harness and tools, but I'm not ready to stay up there and work for a few hours yet. I've been climbing nearly half way up just for exercise, but I'm headed for the top in the next few days, barring surprises. 73 Roger (K8RI) > > A column in the Tampa Tribune of interest. -Mike > > > http://www2.tbo.com/content/2007/sep/19/most-lethal-job-america/?news-breaki > ng > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > _______________________________________________ > TowerTalk mailing list > email@example.com > http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

A new student organization in the SBA will help students sharpen their communication, persuasion, critical thinking and decision making skills. The Mock Trial Organization (MTO), launched last fall, gives aspiring business leaders an opportunity to learn what it takes to try a case in court -- while having fun and exploring career options.
"It's a great idea for students to enhance critical-thinking skills," says Frederick Hoffman, special instructor, management, who serves as club advisor with the help of Assistant Professor of Management Jennifer Thor.
OU junior Jonathan Huynh was preparing for law school with public speaking and acting courses, when he developed the idea for a mock trial club.
"I wanted to develop my educational experiences outside of the classroom," says Huynh. "I picked mock trials because I enjoy a competitive setting and learning about the legal profession."
Comprised of four students this year, the club plans to expand next year.
"Students learn to think on their feet," Hoffman says. "They must master their ability to react. It also enhances their oral presentation skills and even fosters acting skills. And, for those interested in going to law school, it will acquaint them with significant details of the courtroom process."
The mock trial experience can prove invaluable to prospective law students, adds attorney Kevin Gleeson, SBA '73.
"Interacting with opposing counsel, the court and witnesses is an experience available only in this setting and not in a classroom," he says. "The court room is a very dynamic environment, constantly changing. If you asked a combat general, they would tell you the best laid plans cannot always prepare you for what occurs when battle begins. This scenario is applicable to the events which surface when trial commences. Being able to change direction and make sound strategic decisions during the engagement is critical."
With more members next year, the MTO hopes to compete in the regional mock trial competitions sanctioned by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA). The AMTA presents member organizations a new trial case every August, alternating between criminal and civil cases. During competition, students argue both sides of the case.
This year's plan is to present the AMTA's mock trial for the SBA this spring and continue recruiting members. Mock trial participants can portray attorneys or witnesses. Thor, who also is an attorney, helps with preparations.
Huynh is enjoying himself. "It's fun and educational," he says. "You can meet a lot of people with similar interests." He's also impressed with the group's mock trial case from AMTA. "It's a very long case. I've enjoyed reading through it and formulating questions."
Now he's looking forward to delving into real trial competitions. "When you go to a tournament, you don't know what role you'll play, which forces you to think objectively."

A sad duty falls on me after two weeks of sight-seeing in the foreign nation nearest to Jackson.
It is my obligation to report on the trouble with Canada.
The trouble began at a currency-exchange booth after we landed at the Halifax, Nova Scotia, airport.
My confused face produced the first of many blank stares when the lady in the booth traded me $95.27 in Canadian money for $100 U.S.
If God intended Canadian currency to be worth more than U.S. money, he would have made the bills green.
Five years ago, $100 was worth $161 in Canadian cash. On average, over 10 years, $100 U.S. was worth $138 Canadian, according to the Bank of Canada.
U.S. dollars began plummeting in 2005 and hit a low last month. This is information I neglected to look up before flying into the jaws of "Canada's Ocean Playground."
At the current exchange rate, $1 is about $1.06 in Canadian cash. Six pennies is bad enough but my deal at the currency exchange booth, which catered to dumb travelers, was loaded with enough fees to net less than an even swap.
Lousy exchange rates are difficult to swallow because almost everything in Canada costs at least 20 percent more than here.
Canadians in border towns stream into the United States to buy things at cheap prices. A New Brunswick trucker told me to expect a 90-minute wait to get across the border into the U.S. "We do a lot of shopping in your country now," he said.
Taxes make the trouble with Canada even worse. It is a great nation for anyone who enjoys high taxes. On Prince Edward Island, for example, everything you buy comes with a spectacular 16 percent tax.
Add it all together and you understand why my face wore a blank stare. The sight of a typical restaurant bill was enough to send a grown man into stunned silence.
Maritime Canada offers much scenic beauty and many strange potato chips. I tried chips flavored like lobster and roasted chicken but I skipped the fries-and-gravy flavor.
But scenery and chips can be found in many places that do not demand dollars on such a brutal scale. Few spots on earth can be more expensive for American travelers.
This is sad to report because I visited and enjoyed Canada dozens of times before the trouble started.
Until it is fixed, all but the richest Americans should stay out of Canada.
Take it from a man terrified of his next credit-card bill: Lobster-flavored potato chips are not worth $5.87 a bag.

The V Side offers these offbeat entertainment options for the weekend, from NolaVie.
Saturday / Fun on the bayou: It's challenging, decidedly offbeat and probably won't happen again any time soon. So scoop up a paddle or two and head for a Kayak Scavenger Hunt organized by Bayou St. John kayak tour company Kayak-iti-Yat. The fun takes place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting at Bayou St. John between Dumaine and Orleans avenues, with clues geared toward the history and ecology of the city's favorite bayou. Cost is $100 per four-man team, but hey, it's for a good cause. Proceeds go to Re-Bridge, which is trying to rehabilitate the Magnolia (aka Cabrini footbridge) and Dumaine bridges. You can arrive by boat or bike; for details click here.
Saturday / And the fun continues in Treme: Speaking of offbeat tours, here's one through New Orleans' newest TV-starring neighborhood. Architect Alan Eskew leads a Portage Through Treme by bicycle, in the second of a series of AIA-sponsored monthly tours of the city by bike, bus and foot. Bikers will take in St. Augustine Church, the African-American Museum, Degas House, the House on Bayou Road and Pitot House in a tour that begins at 2 p.m. Saturday at French Market Place at Gov. Nicholls Street in the French Quarter, and ends two hours later at Bayou St. John. Cost is $35 ($25 for AIA members). To register, clickhere.
Saturday / Casino couture: Continue partying for a cause at the Hi-Speed Fashion Show, 8 p.m. to midnight at Harrah's Casino. Fashions from Saks, music by DJ Spin, hair by H2O and cocktails and local cuisine round out the runway doings, with proceeds going to the Al Copeland Foundation to benefit cancer research. Tickets start at $25 per, with a patron party from 6 to 8 p.m. starting at $50. It's an adults-only shindig; given the location, you have to be 21 to attend.
Saturday-Sunday / It's a first: Words take center stage at the first ever Write, NOLA! Poetry Festival, sponsored by the local literary group WordPlay. Events include workshops, presentations, an exhibit on the history of the spoken word in New Orleans and a showcase of spoken word artists, and takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday at Gallier Hall, 545 St. Charles Ave, with a final showcase at 7 p.m. Sunday at Howlin' Wolf. You can register for the entire festival ($42) or selected events here. Who else would alert you to these things?

Energy saving tips and advice
Saving energy can save you money, as well as helping the environment. It doesn't take long to do it either – there are lots of easy ways to make your home more energy efficient. Our energy saving tips and ideas can help you on your energy saving journey.
First, find out how much energy you're using
You can't see where you're going unless you know where you started from. So take a look at how much electricity and gas you use at the moment. Read your meters regularly and keep a note of the readings so you know how you're doing. Don't forget to give them to us too! You can give us your readings whenever you like through your online account. If you don't have one yet, you can register using the link at the bottom of the page – it only takes a couple of minutes.
Smart meters make it even easier to keep on top of what you're using with a handy in-home monitor. We'll contact you when we're fitting them in your area, but you can register your interest now. Find out more using the 'About smart meters' link at the bottom of the page.
Time for a quick survey
Let's kick things off with our energy efficiency survey. Just answer some questions about your home and we'll give you a personalised checklist of changes that could save energy. You can find the link at the bottom of the page.
Now, try some small ways to save
Did you know turning your heating down by just one degree can save you around £60 a year? Or that having a full freezer can save you 40% on the energy it uses? Our guide "Helping you save energy and money" has over 50 great energy saving tips you can start using today. There are ideas for every part of your home so you can save on lighting, heating, cooking and more. There's even a guide to how much energy the items in your home actually use. You'll find a link to the booklet at the bottom of the page.
Think about bigger changes
All the little savings add up, but bigger changes can bump your energy saving into high gear. And you might be able to get help to make them.
You've probably heard how improving the insulation in your home can save you money. As up to 60% of your homes' heat is lost through your roof and walls, it's easy to see why! Double glazing and draught exclusion are also great ways to save.
If you're thinking of getting a new boiler or appliance, go for ones with an A+ rating. These are the most energy efficient. We offer great deals on A+ rated boilers and a free, no-obligation quote. And our online shop has lots A+ rated items like fridges and washing machines, all with free delivery.
Have you ever thought of making your own energy? Solar panels, air-source and ground-source heat pumps are all options to think about. You could even make enough energy to sell what you don't use back to a supplier via a Feed-in Tariff.
And if you need a hand, there's plenty of help
There are lots of organisations that can help you on your energy saving journey. The Energy Saving Trust and National Action Energy offer free, independent energy saving advice. You'll find links to their websites below.

TUPPER LAKE - A retired teacher advocated for the public to vote in favor of the school budget after the school board approved it at a Friday meeting.
Darlene Donnelly, who has been retired for about five years, said the local media has been focusing too much on the possible 9.91-percent tax levy increase and argued that a recent Enterprise editorial suggesting Tupper Lake teachers consider taking a pay cut like Saranac Lake and Lake Placid's did made it sound like the teachers are not making any sacrifices.
"We need both presses to make it really, really clear that Tupper Lake has already made huge sacrifices, and we need this budget to pass," Donnelly said.
She said Tupper Lake's teachers are making a huge sacrifice by losing a quarter of the district's instructional positions, and that teachers have been working with the school board in making cuts and getting the word out about the budget crisis. If teachers were to renegotiate their contracts, it wouldn't be enough savings to make a meaningful difference, she said.
"Even pay cuts wouldn't have been able to fix how unjust it was," Donnelly said. "Our situation is different from in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid."
Donnelly said retired teachers would be willing to make phone calls to voters and help advocate for passing the budget.
Potential cuts in the state budget have led the district to pass a spending plan with a 9.91-percent increase in the amount of the budget coming from taxes. Total spending only grew by 1.37 percent over the current year, to a total of $16.4 million. That's after the elimination of 32 instructional positions and various other cuts.
District Superintendent Seth McGowan said he made some room in the budget in case the final state budget, which was due April 1 but is historically often late, includes more money for the district.
"Any additional revenue that comes in or any savings that come in between now and when the tax bills go out could reduce that," McGowan said.
School board Vice President Dan Mansfield made the motion to approve the budget, board member Dawn Hughes seconded it, and it passed unanimously. Board member Mark Yamrick was not at the meeting.
Public vote
McGowan said after the meeting that if the budget doesn't pass the May 18 public vote, the board could either decide to go straight to a contingency budget or put it up for a second vote, with either a second try at the same budget or one with additional cuts.
"I would not put up the same budget for a second vote," McGowan said. "However, we have cut so much already that what's left to cut is limited."
If it failed a second vote, the district would have to go to a contingency budget, which is essentially a budget that allows no additional spending over the current year's, with a few exemptions for things that would violate laws or contracts.

Folks got a whiff of what maintenance and industrial supply specialist Grainger (NYSE: GWW ) was cooking up in the second quarter, and they didn't like it one bit. Worried about the company's performance and the overall prospect of slowing growth in certain key markets, investors dropped the stock about 14% last Monday, and it hasn't yet recovered.
I've had lukewarm feelings about Grainger for a while now; I own MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM ) myself and generally like other businesses like Applied Industrial (NYSE: AIT ) and Fastenal (Nasdaq: FAST ) better. Based on this quarter's report, I see no reason to change that view, and now Grainger's performance may even have led to bargains among some of these other companies.
Sales were up about 8% this quarter, and operating income once again rose by a double-digit percentage. Unfortunately, the company lowered its sales growth guidance for the balance of the year -- not by a lot, mind you, but still down. When you factor in the fact that people had gotten pretty optimistic about this space in general, Grainger in particular, and are worriedly looking for any hints of economic slowdown, that was all it took to hammer the stock.
It's worth noting that Fastenal also failed to meet its guidance a couple weeks back. Throw in well-known problems with Ford (NYSE: F ) and General Motors (NYSE: GM ) , and lower organic growth and/or bookings at industrial companies as diverse as Eaton and Joy Global (Nasdaq: JOYG ) , and you've got a lot of itchy trigger fingers.
Personally, I still think this is a more company-specific situation. Fastenal also had a sticky quarter back in January, and Grainger's exposure to residential construction (roughly 10%, depending upon how you view the numbers) makes it perhaps a little less of a tell on the wider manufacturing sector.
Even though I'm not happy with the swoon in the price, I'm hanging on to my MSC Industrial shares, and I'd still consider Applied Industrial or Fastenal at the right price. Of course the economy will slow at some point and that will be bad for both growth and valuation multiples, but I'm not in this game to play a single cycle. I still believe that selecting good companies will pay off down the road -- despite the bumps and bruises along the way.

The 1986 Swan Valley High School graduate will make his fourth Olympics appearance this year in London and will compete for a gold medal in the 10-meter air pistol and 50-meter free pistol.
Opening ceremonies are Friday, July 27, with the 10m air pistol competition July 28. Szarenski will compete in the 50m free pistol on Aug. 5, with closing ceremonies Aug. 12.This is Szarenski's fourth Olympic games, having competed in Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008. His highest finish has been 13th.
He expects to change that this year.
"I'm shooting well ... I have different expectations this time," Szarenski said. "I used to go in and hope to win. I never expected to win. Now I expect to win.
"I was ranked No. 1 in the world in 2010. I finished fourth in the 2011 World Cup finals. I won the Pan Am Games. I've been No. 1, so I feel I'm at the top. I'm in position to win. I've just got to do it, that's all."
The difference, however, between gold and 13th place is literally a breath.
So Szarenski intends to stop breathing.
"The goal is to eliminate as much movement as possible," Szarenski said. "Breathing is movement. I do a lot of cardio to keep a high level of oxygen in my bloodstream. My heartbeat has to be low. I'm in the low 40s, but I've been down to 39 or 38 a minute.
"You have to hold your breath when you're shooting."
According to Szarenski, competitors first must shoot to qualify, and each Olympian gets 60 shots. In free pistol, shooters have two hours to complete the 60 shots. In air pistol, shooters have one hour, 45 minutes.
The top eight reach the finals.
"It's pretty tense," Szarenski said. "You get 75 seconds to shoot, and you do that 10 times. After each shot, they read out the scores."Szarenski feels his best event is the 50m free pistol.
"The 10-meter air pistol is basically the Daisy air pistol you grew up with, but on steroids," Szarenski said. "The pistols cost about $2,000 and use compressed air instead of gunpowder.
"But my favorite is the free pistol. It should be called open pistol because just about everything is optional except it has to be 22 caliber. You can use whatever sight you want. The trigger can be as light as you want. The barrel can be as long as you want.
"I shoot a Toz made in Russia. The trigger is so light it almost fires itself. In the 2004 Olympics, I shot a Morini, made in Switzerland. But I was having shoulder problems, and the Toz weighs half the amount, so it saves my shoulder."

President Barack Obama has weathered many political storms with varying degrees of success, but the snowstorm of the century that walloped Washington this week proved he was the luckiest man on the planet. That's according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, still sore from endlessly shoveling snow at his own home.
Tales from the Trail
Obama aide backhands Palin over crib notes
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocked former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for writing notes on her hand at last weekend's Tea Party convention.
Unemployment falls, what's the proper political response?
The unemployment rate fell in January to 9.7 percent, the lowest in five months and below that dreaded 10 percent in December. It also foiled analyst expectations for an increase to 10.1 percent.
Gingrich once again at head of Republican pack
Once, a first-term Democratic president failed to deliver on healthcare reform and found his party swept from office by a wave of voter anger that brought Republican Newt Gingrich to the forefront of American politics. Could this history lesson from the Clinton era be repeated?
Obama eyes a new job: sportscaster
Sportscasters, beware. In a few years – three or seven, to be exact – President Barack Obama may want your job.
Now a U.S. senator, Scott Brown is ready to take on Obama
Fresh from a stunning election victory that shook the confidence of the national Democratic Party, Scott Brown says he's ready for a showdown with President Barack Obama — on the basketball court.
Brown, known only a few weeks ago as a dude with a truck, says he challenged Obama to hoops when the two spoke by telephone on the night the Massachusetts Republican won Teddy Kennedy's dyed-in-the-wool-Democratic-blue seat in the U.S. Senate.
"The only time I spoke to him was election night and I did challenge him to pick his best, and I'll take my daughter Ayla who plays for Boston College, and we'd challenge him to a little 2-on-2. I think we'd have the upper hand," Brown said in an interview with TV comedian Jay Leno.
"He looks like he's in great shape. It'd certainly be a tough game," he said.
Brown didn't mention how the president responded.
Obama, a hard-core hoophead, has shot baskets on the campaign trail, with U.S. troops in the field and with kids on the South Lawn of the White House. At 48, he would have a two-year advantage over the 50-year-old Brown. But as Sports Illustrated magazine notes, the president can't dunk and doesn't have a hoopster nickname.
Brown does have a nickname. At Tufts University, he was known as "Downtown Scotty Brown," possibly for his long-distance jumpshots. And that's not all. In a given week, Brown told Leno, he swims close to 2 miles, bikes about 95 and runs 15 or 20 miles.
Dylan at the White House: how much have the times changed?
The announcement that music icon Bob Dylan was coming to the White House next month for "A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement" sent us scrambling to listen to his famous song "The Times They Are A-Changin'."
Chatty White House party crashers turn mum on Capitol Hill
The most famous party crashers (hint red sari and tux) who so gaily chatted with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden at a swank White House state dinner in November (photos still proudly displayed on Facebook), clammed up when they attended a different event on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
Obama talks race on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Barack Obama, marking his first Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as president of the United States, urged Americans on Monday to remember that the civil rights era is not ancient history.
Laughter, emotion and presidents at funeral of Biden's mother

This depends largely on the QTH. Everglades water tends to be brackish, while water in the Louisiana swamps more fresh. My experience with a HyGain 14AVQ in Miami in the 70s was very good, no matter how many radials (or none). The water table (very brackish) was just three feet down, the QTH two miles from the Atlantic. I saw no difference in signal strength/quality from the northeast or EU whether it had radials or not. On the other hand, moving the exact same antenna to Southwest Louisiana (Lake Charles) made the antenna somewhat useless. The QTH was at 14 ft elevation, and the antenna performed equally poorly whether it had 16 or 60 radials. A long (200 ft) open-wire fed dipole at 30 feet was the big winner there. I came to the conclusion that vertical antennas close to the beach with lots of salt water between the station and the "other" guy meant far more than having lots of radials. Of course this was in the 70s and physics may have changed since then... ;-) On May 13, 2008, at 12:46 PM, Jim Lux wrote: > Carrington, Walter wrote: >> Is swamp water conductive? >> Fresh water swamps have a lot of stuff suspended or dissolved in >> the water.

Adobe published two advisories today:
(Correction: APSB13-25 was released last month, and I have removed it from this diary. Instead, APSB13-27 was added below)
APSB13-26: Security Updates for Flash Player
This update affects the Windows, OS X as well as the Linux version of Adobe Flash Player 11.9 (11.2 for Linux) , as well as Adobe Air 3.9. The Flashplayer vulnerability is assigned a priority of "1" on Windows and OS X which indicates an exploit has been sighted in the wild and Adobe recommends patch "as soon as possible" (72 hrs).
Vulnerabilities that are covered by this patch: CVE-2013-5329, CVE-2013-5330.
APSB13-27: Hotfix for Coldfusion
This hotfix affects Coldfusion 9 as well as 10. Adobe assigned it a priority of 1 for Coldfusion 10 and 2 for Coldfusion 9.x . The hotfix patches two vulnerabilities:
1 - A reflective XSS vulnerability in Coldfusion 9/10 (CVE-2013-5326)
The second vulnerability which allows unauthorized remote read access is probably the reason this hotfix is rated "1" for Coldfusion 10.
Google released a new version of Chrome today: Chrome 31. The update includes 25 security fixes. Not exactly a security fix, but still interesting: Chrome 31 improves the SSL ciphers by adding support for the AES-GCM ciphers.

I'm confused...
ASPB13-25 was released last month and Reader 11.0.05 was released on Oct 8th

Thanks. I fixed the diary. I think this may have happened because APSB13-27 isn't live yet, but listed on the security summary page.

Just something I noticed:
I went to :https://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-26.html
clicked on the top link and I get: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
looking in Flagfox I see it is a Ukraine IP: 126.96.36.199
I then went to the top Domain in Adobe then to the downloads page and I get the same thing.
openDNS is my DNS resolver
Since when did Adobe start hosting the Flash downloads in the Ukraine? I'm thinking it could be bogus.
I just refreshed it twice now it shows as USA based Apache NOT JRun in Ukraine....odd stuff

126.96.36.199/24 seems to be some kind of anycast-announced netblock. So depending where I traceroute from, it would appear to be hosted in Dallas, or Dublin, or ...

> looking in Flagfox I see it is a Ukraine IP: 188.8.131.52
I looked at www.arin.net/whois -- that /24 is allocated to ADOBE, as is 18.104.22.168/24 and 188.8.131.52/24
Using NSLOOKUP with the '-debug' option shows a TTL of about 30 seconds for the result, either:
Name: get.wip4.adobe.com
Address: 188.8.131.52
Aliases: get.adobe.com
Name: get.wip4.adobe.com
Address: 22.214.171.124
Aliases: get.adobe.com
i.e., somewhere in Texas or somewhere in Europe.
Round-robin load-balancing by Adobe's DNS-servers ?
nameserver = adobe-dns-03.adobe.com
ttl = 1955 (32 mins 35 secs)
nameserver = adobe-dns-05.adobe.com
ttl = 1955 (32 mins 35 secs)
nameserver = adobe-dns-04.adobe.com
ttl = 1955 (32 mins 35 secs)
nameserver = adobe-dns-02.adobe.com
ttl = 1955 (32 mins 35 secs)
nameserver = adobe-dns-01.adobe.com
ttl = 1955 (32 mins 35 secs)

Artists respond to Detroit bankruptcy with mural
Tuesday, July 23, 2013 2:19 PM
Detroit street artists Ayem and Melo created a new mural on Grand River and Henry just north of Downtown with large stylistic letters reading, B-A-N-K-R-U-P-T-C-Y. The colorful piece is a statement on Detroit's recent cash flow problems. The artists used 8 different overlapping colors to create a 3-D effect. The mural was approved by the property owner at 2481 Grand River, currently a vacant building.

DVD columnist
Directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon make a solid, if unexceptional, debut with "Blades of Glory," a Will Ferrell comedy to be released Tuesday on DVD.
In the film, Ferrell and rival Jon Heder, after being banned from figure skating for fighting, discover that a loophole will allow them to return to the ice -- as a pair.
Ferrell ("Stranger Than Fiction") and Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite") work well together, but the movie doesn't have the manic energy of Ferrell's better comedies.
There's something subdued about "Blades of Glory," perhaps because so much of the skating obviously had to be left to stunt doubles. What is left are a lot of close-ups with wind machines blowing the actors' hair as they pantomime gliding across the ice. Slightly more convincing is the wire work used to pull off the lifts.
The DVD includes deleted scenes, interviews, a gag reel and production documentaries.
2½ stars
Starring: Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. Directors: Will Speck and Josh Gordon. Rating: PG-13, for crude and sexual humor, language, a comic violent image and some drug references. Running time: 1 hour 33 minutes.
Also arriving this week
Release dates are subject to change.
(N) denotes a Newhouse review.
Year of the Dog 2 stars (PG-13, 2007) Sweet, sheltered Molly Shannon struggles to get over the death of her beloved dog and resorts to fraud, breaking and entering, and attempted murder in her misguided attempts to cope. Peter Sarsgaard, Regina King, John C. Reilly and Laura Dern co-star in a comedy written and directed by Mike White. The cast is fine, but the director's point is vague and his characters are close to caricatures. DVD includes audio commentary, deleted scenes, bloopers and a look at the making of the film. Suggestive references and alcohol abuse. 1 hour 37 minutes. (N)
Kickin' It Old Skool ½ star (PG-13, 2007) Breakdancer Jamie Kennedy hits his head during a 1986 talent show and slips into a coma for 20 years. When he wakes up, he enlists his girlfriend and his parents in an effort to resurrect his dance team. Maria Menounos, Miguel A. Nunez Jr., Bobby Lee and Aris Alvarado co-star in Harvey Glazer's comedy. This lead-footed attempt to put a breakdance spin on the story of Rip Van Winkle offers few laughs and unimpressive footwork. DVD includes deleted scenes. Crude and sexual content, and language. 1 hour 49 minutes. (N)
Offside 3 stars (PG, 2006) A group of soccer fans without tickets try to get into a game. Complicating things are the facts that they're women and this is Iran, where women are "protected" from such rough, rude male gatherings. Director Jafar Panahi lets the women, once apprehended by soldiers, convincingly make their case -- but it's clear he's talking about more than soccer here, or even the rights of men and women to mix freely. In Farsi with subtitles. Mild violence and strong language. 88 minutes. (N)
