Australia's pace bowlers would be pushing the boundaries of acceptable aggression with a barrage of short bowling at South Africa's batsmen in this week's first test against the Proteas, captain Michael Clarke said on Thursday.
South Africa come into the three-match series as the top ranked team in test cricket with four batsmen in the top 10 of the individual standings and looking to win back-to-back series on Australian soil.
Clarke said the likes of Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith and AB De Villiers could expect a hostile reception from his seamers on what is expected to be a bouncy wicket at the Gabba, where the first match starts on Friday.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a lot of short stuff, that's for sure," he told a news conference on Thursday.
"When you've got four guys who can bowl at well over 140 kilometres per hour, they're not shy on bouncers whether it be in the nets or in the centre.
"The young quicks know what they have to do, they know how important it is that they execute their skills. But they know they need to keep the same aggression they had last summer against India.
"They understand there's a line they can't cross but we'll be pushing that line."
Clarke said he had not decided whether to use Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson and Mitchell Starc as a four-pronged pace attack at the Gabba and leave spinner Nathan Lyon to handle the drinks.
"The wicket's changed a bit since yesterday and I need to wait and see if it changes any more come tomorrow morning," he added.
"I guess weather plays a big part, whether it's overcast or the sun's shining, the forecast is okay for the week but I guess we just want to have a good look at it."
The weather on Thursday was overcast with a few scattered showers and intermittent sunshine over the Gabba pitch, which had a green sheen to it.
Australia's plans on how to target individual batsmen - short balls to Amla, Kallis and JP Duminy, for example - were exposed in a supposed leaked "team dossier" published by the Courier Mail newspaper on Thursday.
Clarke said it had made an "interesting read" but said it had not been assembled by the team and he had played no part in it being leaked - if it was indeed intended as a psychological ploy to unsettle the South Africans.
The 31-year-old said he had been telling his players to focus on their own game rather than their much-vaunted opposition.
"You'd be silly not to look at footage of the opposition but the player you're facing is irrelevant.
"We've got as much talent as any team in the world, especially our young fast bowlers, but if you don't execute your plans you won't take wickets in first grade.
"If you do execute your plans, you'll take 20 wickets against India and South Africa is no different. We beat a very good India team 4-0 last summer and our preparation has been the same."
Clarke said former captain Ricky Ponting was "100 percent fit" after a hamstring problem, and he had every faith that Rob Quiney, who will make his test debut in place of the injured Shane Watson on Friday, would prove up to the task.
"I really hope Rob grabs this opportunity with both hands and earns that number three position with Australia," he said of the 30-year-old left-hander.

Tyler, The Creator is not done with his directing career! Tyler did the video for "Sam (Is Dead)," a Tyler/Domo Genesis track from The O.F. Tape Vol. 2, under his Wolf Haley alias, and it's a trip through Deer Hunter-type war-movie iconography. The seven-minute clip has some extra film-score music from Tyler, and it has cameos from O.F. associates like Early Sweatshirt and Trash Talk frontman Lee Spielman, whose band recently signed to Odd Future Records. There's not much in the way of story or anything, and Tyler might think those closing shots are more mind-blowing than they are, but this is still easily the best Tyler-directed video since "Yonkers." Watch it below.

Washington DC -- Women's, international, and human rights groups condemned the atrocities committed against Afghan women by the Taliban at noon-time pickets, sponsored by the Feminist Majority, in front of the Pakistan and Afghanistan embassies on Wednesday, July 30. The demonstration was led by Eleanor Smeal, President of the Feminist Majority, Zieba Shorish-Shamley, chair of the Women's Alliance for Peace and Human Rights in Afghanistan, and Sima Wali from Refugee Women in Development.
"We cannot stand silently by as Afghan women become victims of inhumane gender apartheid," said Feminist Majority President Eleanor Smeal. "A 16-year-old girl was stoned to death last month because she was traveling with a man who was not a family member. If this was happening to any other class of people around the world, there would be tremendous outcry. We must make sure these same standards are applied when it is women and girls who are brutally treated."
"The American government and the United Nations must refuse to recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government in Afghanistan. How can women be safe anywhere if some governments can carry out gender apartheid with impunity? Do not think such fundamentalist terror can only happen in a far off country!" continued Smeal.
On September 27, 1996, the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic militia group, overthrew the government of Afghanistan and unilaterally declared an end to women's basic human rights. Women can now no longer work outside of the home. Girls are prohibited from attending school. In addition, women are required to completely cover their bodies with a burqa including a mesh covering over the eyes. Women have been beaten for appearing in public without being fully veiled.
The Taliban is reported to have received extensive financial support from Saudi Arabia and military aid from Pakistan. Pakistan was the first nation to officially recognize the Taliban as the ruling power in Afghanistan, and was soon followed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
International oil and gas companies are vying for a contract with the Taliban to build a gas pipeline from energy-rich Turkmenistan, through Taliban-controlled western Afghanistan, to Pakistan.

Nokia N-Gage Drops Price, Third Design Imminent
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Cell Phones, Video Games,
Nokia's little "Cellphone That Could" has had its share of trouble. Not sure if a price drop to $99 is a sign of recovery or just a move to clear some stagnant warehouses. Prices on software titles have also been slashed, while a third design is said to be revealed at this year's E3. So far, there are only 2.5 million owners of the device, and that's including both of the previous iterations. In comparison, Sony's PSP is expected to sell 1 million in its first week alone.

AMD VP and Japan FTC Voice Opinion on Intel
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop,
According to a press release on AMD's website (www.amd.com), Thomas McCoy, Executive VP of AMD's Legal Affairs, has bluntly stated that "Intel illegally manipulated the market to exclude competition, hurting PC users around the world," not limiting his attacks on the CPU giant. He continued to state that Intel was being unfair to the to CPU user's worldwide by not giving users the freedom of choice. He mentioned that users have specific needs that need to be met. No doubt he was trying to plug the dramatic difference in price between the two brands.
All of these comments come via Japan's new motions in the market. The country's Fair Trade Commission has started a campaign to stop Intel's monopoly of the CPU market. They are the first to do so thus far and are hoping that other technology leading countries follow suit. Japanese Fair Trade Commission has made some interesting discoveries during an 11 month investigation on Intel, one being that Intel is forcing manufactures to buy 100% Intel based PC's.

US Officials Fear Traffic Light Changers In Wrong Hands
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
It looks like the technology used by police and fire officials that makes traffic lights turn green when they are approaching in the case of emergency. Government officials fear that these devices, which can cost as much as $1,000 USD (or $200 for cheap knockoffs), are starting to fall into the hands of your common civilian. There has been a rise in the sale of these devices on the Internet. While the sites claim that they sell them to make it easier for places like volunteer firefighting squads to acquire them, there is no prerequisite anyone needs to meet in order to purchase a traffic light changer. It is illegal for a civilian to use one of these devices, but officials are pushing to make it illegal to even have one in your possession.

Apple Working On A Two Button Mouse
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Peripherals,
In an interesting twist, it appears that Apple is now working on a two buttoned wireless optical mouse. AppleInsider is reporting that because of Apple's slow-but-sure market share increase, it is now essential to provide a two button mouse for those who are used to them. Many a Windows user has made the claim that a one buttoned mouse just doesn't cut it in the world of computing. The thing is, this is going to be an add-on product, probably retailing at $69 USD. For that price, users can purchase an alternative wireless optical mouse for their Mac - but who am I kidding? Mac users will snatch these up in droves.

New Nokia Slider Cell Phone?
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Cell Phones,
I loved the 8860 back when it was released. The slider phone was thin, sexy and attracted a lot of attention. However, the reception was really bad. At least I looked good trying to make a call, right? Looks like Nokia could be releasing another one of those sexy phones with the appearance of some pictures on a Chinese forum site. The phone appears to be a successor of the Nokia 8910 and does not appear to include a camera. Hopefully, a press release will be made in the not so distant future by Nokia to announce the launch and details of this phone.

Feotal Alcohol Syndrome Doll Scares Teens

In an effort to teach teens the effects of alcohol and drugs, Teesside in the United Kingdom is handing out a doll that simulates a baby that is addicted to these substances. The dolls weigh just 3.5 pounds, giving indication to the size of a bay with feotal alcohol syndrome. The normal baby dolls given to teens to care for weigh four pounds more than these dolls. The dolls simulate drug withdrawals, and cannot be turned off - but hey, that is what the bottom dresser drawer is for, right?

October 11, 2016 - Public Citizen Letter on Wal-Mart and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
September 12, 2016 - Why We Oppose the Financial CHOICE Act
September 8, 1016 - Towards a Sustainable Economy
The passage in 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was a tremendous victory for financial reform. However, much more must be done before the fair and stable financial system our communities need is in place. Immense "too big to fail" financial institutions must be broken up. Taxpayer supports must be severed from financial institutions that engage in risky, speculative activity. Computerized high speed trading must be reined in so that risks to our economy are minimized and benefits to our society are maximized.
Public Citizen supports legislation and regulatory action that builds on Dodd-Frank and moves us closer to a fair and stable financial system, one that serves the real economy

Hall notches hat trick as Oilers blank Canucks
Edmonton, AB – Taylor Hall notched a hat trick in the first period and a quick jump to the game led the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Devan Dubnyk notched 23 saves for his sixth career shutout for the Oilers, who have won three straight for the first time this season to get to 35 points and are one point back of St. Louis for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Cory Schneider was quickly yanked from the start as he gave up two goals on two shots for the Canucks, who had a six-game winning streak snapped. Roberto Luongo finished the game in net and gave up two goals on 22 shots.
"You know, two shots, two goals. It's a terrible start to put your team in a hole like that," Schneider said. "We plan on being prepared and it starts with me in net and talk about making a big save or two to get you team in it, settle down a little bit and I didn't do that. It costs us, put us in a hole and we were never able to recover from it."
It was all Edmonton in the first eight minutes of the game and it got started 16 seconds in when Hall flew down the right wing and let fly with a wrister past Schneider.
Edmonton's second shot also bore fruit as a slap shot from Ladislav Smid found the back of the net at the 2:05 mark to chase Schneider.
Hall scored his second of the game 38 seconds later with a wrister from the left circle and capped the hat trick at the 7:53 mark on the power play when he stuffed the puck in from the right side.
It was the fastest hat trick by an Oiler to start a game, surpassing the mark of 12:38 by Wayne Gretzky against Quebec in 1986.
"Any time you can break the Great One's record, it's pretty special. It's just one of those games where everything I shot at the start went in and then you saw at the end of the game everything we shot didn't go in, so it was definitely huge to get a big start like that and after that we played really well," Hall said.
The second period passed without a goal as Luongo made three stops and Dubnyk turned away eight shots.
Dubnyk made five saves in the final period to finish off the shutout.
Game Notes
It was the three fastest goals to start a game in Edmonton history, passing the mark of 3:25 set on Dec. 16, 1981 against the Colorado Rockies ... Edmonton hosts Calgary on Monday ... Vancouver plays in San Jose on Monday ... Edmonton forward Sam Gagner played in his 400th game ... Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two assists for the Oilers.

Politics may end up overruling the facts in the brewing multimillion-dollar brawl over northeast Oceanside's decorative, but crumbling, streetlights.
Homeowners in the 1980s-era Villages of Rancho del Oro are vowing revenge at the ballot box if the city's stance sticks that they need to pony up the more than $2.2 million needed to repair or replace their streetlights.
Oceanside City Manager Peter Weiss is usually dead-on with his facts, so in matters such as these, he's one to believe. In an open letter to the Villages' residents, he asserts they and/or their homeowners association are responsible for the 635 lights in question.
Using Weiss' figures, it would cost a bit more than $740 per Villages household to replace the nonconforming metal streetlight poles (Oceanside prefers concrete poles) — a good chunk of change for the residents.
However, in Weiss' letter (posted on Oceanside's website) the city allowed the Villages' developers to install lights that did not conform to city standards provided the residents pay the costs of repairing and replacing them.
Weiss asserts that detail is in the subdivisions' Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that each new homeowner signed when buying into the neighborhood.
Weiss and the city also have the courts on their side (the homeowners already have sued and lost), so the folks in City Hall ought to just stick to their guns.
Despite being on the wrong side of the facts, though, the Villages' homeowners association is preparing to do its venting in the 2014 council elections if the city doesn't relent.
The misnamed Villages of Rancho del Oro spreads north and east of the intersection of Oceanside and College boulevards (its namesake Rancho del Oro Boulevard is a good mile and a half west) and has an estimated 3,000 residential units.
Those units are home to a fair number of voters; more than enough folks to swing a close council election, not including residents of other neighborhoods who might join the Villagers' crusade. And that represents the horn of this dilemma.
At present, power on the Oceanside City Council breaks in favor of a three-man, neoconservative, pro-business majority. The seats of two of those three, Councilmen Jerry Kern and Gary Felien, will be on the 2014 ballot.
Neither of the council's two moderate or liberal (depending on one's view) members are up for re-election in the next cycle. And both Mayor Jim Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez were re-elected by wide margins in 2012 with strong backing from the city's homeowners associations, public employee unions and others.
If the city sticks to the facts and makes residents of the Villages pay for the lights, the homeowners association and its allies could easily topple Kern or Felien next year, which could give Wood and Sanchez an all-important third vote to swing the council's balance of power to their side.
That looming political reality may be enough to get the council's troika to rein in its principles and urge Weiss to reach a compromise, thus letting Villages residents bask in their fancy night lights at a discount.

Why do zoos keep this animal
Two of the Asiatic wild ass subspecies are critically endangered in the wild. With a view of building up an ex situ insurance populations, mainly for the Persian onager at that time, an International Studbook was set up in 1961 under the WAZA umbrella, and zoos maintain now self-sustained populations of Equus hemionus onager and Equus hemionus kulan managed by AZA and EAZA under regional conservation breeding programmes.
Regrettably there is no such programme for the Khur of India, which is equally endangered in the wild.

When 19-year-old Bic Runga released her first single Drive in 1996, New Zealand was introduced to a singular talent - a magnetic songwriter with an evocative, angelic voice that immediately seduced the nation's collective ears. It still stands as one of the most beautifully yearning pop ballads to come out of New Zealand. Sixteen years, four studio albums, two live albums, and one collection of rarities later, Runga is releasing her first Best Of.
The album opens with well-known early hits (Get Some Sleep, Sway, Good Morning Baby, and Listening for the Weather) and a couple of lesser known tracks from Drive. Two beautifully lush tracks from third album Birds stand out for their wonderful arrangements. Say After Me has always been a favourite, its heartbreak pop tinged with the sound of 1930s Paris, and Winning Arrow which rubbed a little alt-country through her classic sensibilities.
The contrast is bright as the album leaps into the effervescent Hello Hello from most recent album Belle. It's a musically eclectic album, but there's a strength, confidence, and sense of humour to it which resonates throughout - perhaps best demonstrated by brilliant, snappy 60s-ish Tiny Little Piece of My Heart. Runga manages to leap between fragile and strident in a chorus, and production from her partner - and ex-Mint Chick - Kody Nielson brings out the different colours in her delivery.
Of the three covers included on the album performed live with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, Brel's Ne Me Quitte Pas is a triumphant standout - a goosebump-inducing rendition which stands tall against the many other well-loved versions, of the original. A cover of Dylan's One More Cup of Coffee is accomplished if not quite upping the game, as is a languorous country-tinged Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart. Placing studio track Everything is Beautiful and New (from Belle) in between the live tracks seems like an odd decision - it feels like an interruption, and a somewhat bizarre place for the Baroque-style lullaby.
The collection finishes up with a live version of Precious Things with Dave Dobbyn and Tim Finn (a great song that sounds better on the studio version), swaying, grooving If You Really Do from Belle, the potent sadness of Birds, and The Be All and End All.
It's a curious 22-track collection - the inclusion of very early songs remind that Runga was once a youthful, idealistic young girl with a guitar sitting in her bedroom, but they don't showcase the best of her talents. The fact that tracks from her first two albums take up more than half the album, while her strongest releases - Birds and Belle - only get seven tracks between them, heightens the sense that though it's certainly reflective of Runga's whole career, Anthology is not truly a "best of".
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: Charts the development of a songstress, without really being a "best of".

The author that introduced me to an ongoing love of fantasy books, David Eddings, passed away on Tuesday 2 June 2009, at the age of 77. Eddings' two most popular series, the Belgariad and the Malloreon, are still two of the most popular bildungsroman series written, and haven't been out of print since they were first published back in the early 1980s. The series is still one of my favorites, and holds a very special place in my heart.
[David's publisher, Jane] Johnson said he would be missed "tremendously" at HarperCollins, which published his last title, The Elder Gods, in 2006. "He was a towering force of modern commercial fiction, a master of the epic, and a delight to work with," she said. "The Voyager team and I were immensely sad to hear the news."
My condolences to David's family. The world of literature is far, far poorer for the loss.

Vasiliki "Vaso" Kazakos, 56, of Clemmons, fell asleep Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013, at her home after a courageous battle with cancer.
Vasiliki "Vaso" Kazakos, 56, of Clemmons, fell asleep Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013, at her home after a courageous battle with cancer.
A funeral will be conducted at noon Tuesday at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church by Fr. Demetri Kangelaris. Burial will follow in Forsyth Memorial Park.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at the church with a Trisagion service at 7:30 p.m.
She was the beloved wife of Andreas Kazakos of Clemmons. Vaso was born Oct. 12, 1956, in the small village of Prodromos in Voiotia, Greece. She was the daughter of the late Ioannis and Zoe Kalpouzos. Ioannis was a carpenter, and Zoe ran the village's only market. Vaso was raised in Prodromos and Athens, Greece, and spent every summer swimming and sun bathing in Sarandi Paralia (beach). Sarandi was her most cherished destination, and she and Andreas built a mediterranean villa there in 1990. The entire Kazakos family spent almost every summer there and grew to love Sarandi as their second home. Vaso attended a private boarding school in Thiva, and post graduation, she moved to Athens. There she attended a travel academy to become a flight attendant. She also worked as the executive secretary to the director of a tutoring institution.
While residing and going to school in Athens, she met Andreas Kazakos on a blind date in May of 1977. It was love at first sight as they were married two months later on July 3, 1977. The couple moved to Winston-Salem on Aug. 17, 1977, the day after Elvis Presley died, as she so vividly remembered. Vaso's contagious smile infected so many with happiness and joy. Her vibrant and vivacious personality animated even the walls surrounding her; as she spoke the floors would tremble. For the entirety of her life, Vaso's focus was her husband and her children. She ardently loved and cared for her family. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, the light of her life.
Her many other interests included baking, cooking, reading and teaching Sunday school. Vaso delightedly volunteered for her church, the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, in Winston-Salem. She was a staple at the Greek Festival for the last 15 years as her effervescent personality couldn't be missed at the loukamades stand.
Vaso is survived by her husband, Andreas Kazakos; brother George Kalpouzos; daughter Elizabeth Siokis and husband Gus, and their two children, Dafi and Vaso; son Teddy Kazakos and wife Frances, and their three children, Andreas, Zoe and Maximus; son John Kazakos and wife Nia, and their daughter, Lillian Grace; and son Alexander Kazakos.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Annunciation Christian Academy, 435 Keating Drive, Winston-Salem, NC 27104. May her memory be eternal. www.hayworth-miller.com (Hayworth-Miller Kinderton Chapel).

Okay, I admit, I didn't eat these but they are morels. There were only two so I figured it would be better if they produced some spores so many there'll be more in the future and because I'm a novice muchroom hunter.
These are yellow/pale morels I think.
On the other hand, there were a fair number of false morels in the conifer forest.
Here is a classic looking false morel with its more disordered cap. Not edible
I think it is very easy to tell the difference. Beyond looking like melting brains, false morels are also chambered in cross section rather than hollow.
Found this huge false morel in the conifer forest.
By the way, what every novice mushroom hunter is wearing this season:
It's also giant black mosquito season.

Cool morels! Is there a reason you don't eat them? Not that I've ever eaten them, just curious.

You showed great restraint leaving them to set spores and hopefully propogate more for the coming year. Nice hat too! Just the thing that all chic gardeners should be sporting this season.

Aaarrrrgh. I'm so jealous. I'd dearly love to have morels growing but unless Nature put them there, as I understand it, they're virtually impossible to introduce.

Love your head gear! I have never hunted for mushrooms.

I used to have to fight the mosquitoes at my last house. Weirdly this house seems pretty mosquito free. I've seen exactly one so far.

Conscious Note:
'B SIDES collect 60s and 70s vintage denim stock from the American East and West, handworking them in our New York studio. Working with a collective of local tailors and sewers in Brooklyn and Long Island, each piece is hand-sewn with 100% repurposed material. In keeping with our sustainable ethos, all denim scraps and excess fabrics are reprised for donations to manufacture housing insulation. The mark of the brand is made from a piece of repurposed, natural vachetta leather strapping; shop scraps recovered from our apron and bag-maker friends in The Springs on Long Island. Each piece is hand-tooled and hand-stitched into the back waistband with natural cotton yarn. Both the jean and the mark are meant to patina with wear over time.' --Claire Lampert and Stacy Daily
Founded by Claire Lampert and Stacey Daily, B SIDES is a re-purposed and hand-worked denim brand based in New York. Sourcing high-quality denims from the American West and East, they are then reworked into classic and contemporary unisex silhouettes with unique and playful patchwork designs. Focusing on fit, colour and caste, B SIDES carefully consider the denim's original character being carefully not to disrupt it; repairing breaks whilst maintaining shredded pockets and hand-repaired hems. Making adjustments according to the quality of the denim, B SIDES reinterpret pieces by constructing unique patches resulting in a new, imperfect and individual look.

My Room: Chloe
Chloe's nursery all began with her birch tree niche. We opened up the wall containing a 30" wide closet door to allow for her changing table/closet/dresser niche. And what a niche it is! Kristin tells us more about this lovely room&hellip
After painting out & changing the hardware on her dresser, that was from her paternal grandmother, we installed a laminate countertop from IKEA. This has been an ideal surface for changing diapers, having conversations and getting dressed. Not to mention it's easy to wipe down. As little clothes hang on little hangers, small closet rods were attached to the underside of the counter on either side of the dresser. And once the over scaled butterflies were hung from the ceiling, Chloe's favorite spot in her room was complete.
Her classic Jenny Lind crib was made modern by the use of the graphic Oilo Studio bedding and the large scale mirror that we attached the silver butterflies to. All of the higher ticket items in her room are things that can easily transition to other areas of the house. There are not many "Baby" specific items that she will grow out of in the next year or two. This gives her room the sense of sophistication with little pops of whimsy thrown in.
Thanks Kristin!

FALUN, Sweden (March 18) – The U.S. Women's Cross Country Ski Team wrapped up the season with a strong pursuit finale in Falun. Kikkan Randall (Anchorage), who started seventh, dropped one spot to eighth. Both Jessie Diggins (Afton, MN) and Liz Stephen (E. Montpelier, VT) moved up, with Diggins taking 15th and Stephen 18th. World Cup champions Marit Bjoergen and Dario Cologna won the Falun mini-tour – each by large margins. Randall, who won the season sprint title, wound up fifth in the overall standings.
Kikkan Randall
I feel like it's just right. It's been an incredible season. It has been really really fun and challenging. I feel like this is the perfect cap to end it. I'm looking forward to taking a little break and letting it all sink in.
The sprint globe was my big goal all season but to finish in the top 5th overall is an incredible step forward from where I've been. It's a huge accomplishment. It's what I've wanted all along- to be a contender in everydiscipline. So it's been really fun and I hope I can continue to make jumpsforward.
I knew it was going to be a challenging race today. I felt like I had a good chance to catch number six right in front of me. And I knew the two right behind me were coming on strong so I tried to put a good effort out there and make them work hard to catch me and then I was trying to latch on and ride them for the rest of the race. I was able to hang on a little bit but they put a strong move on leaving the stadium and I couldn't quite hang on there. It definitely was ahard race but that's how you want to finish the season.
Jessie Diggins
I had really fast skis. My strength is transitions spots. I would lead the flats and downs and others would lead the up hills and gradual ups. We worked together and reeled in the group. On the final hill I was gliding past one of the down hills. I hammered the hill and was skating the flats. I wasn't able to open up a gap and I was doing all the work and then they all passed me at the end and I was like "shoot". But I had to give it a try. I had nothing left for the sprint at the end but it was totally worth the try. I'm so happy. It was a great race to end the season on. It felt like a good hard effort. It was great to be able to end the year with a race where I felt like I hung in there.
Andy Newell
It was a hard skate race. Right out of the gate I started with some pretty fast skaters. I thought about trying to hang with them but it was a little too fast.
Sometimes by the final I'm pretty burnt out. Even on some of my best seasons where I've had podiums I'm pretty blown out. Right now I'm just tired because of all of the racingwe've been doing. It was a week ago that we did the 50k and we've done fourraces since then. I'm pretty tired but I'm not burnt out or anything.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Troubleshooting When You Cannot Outdial on IP Ports
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 > Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server > Configuring > Troubleshooting the System Configuration
Note: If you have never been able to outdial on an IP port from your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, contact the technician who installed your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server so that they can correct the problem.
If you have previously been able to outdial on an IP port from your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system but are unable to outdial now, do the steps in the following sections:
- Checking the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server
- Checking the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway
- Checking Cisco Unified CallManager
- Checking the IP Phone
Checking the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server
- Is this a general call problem? Verify that incoming calls to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system are connecting. If they are not, follow the procedure in the About Troubleshooting IP Ports That Do Not Answer.
- Are there any failure indications? Note the error message you get when you attempt to outdial.
- If you use the activity command, note the text message that is displayed after the failure.
- If you join a meeting and use #3 to outdial, note the audio message you hear when the outdial fails.
Note: If you use the activity command and see the message "Placing call... Call was unsuccessful: General outdial error, check the exlog," then enter errorlog -s info -l to see what error information was written to the exlog. Scroll through the log by entering f and check for warnings and alarms, especially those that happen in the cpiphandler.cc and cpplacecall.cc files. To exit this command, enter q . You may see the following:
- 08/18 12:57:46 WARN 0x300d9 0/8, "vuiactgen.cc", 1706 (0xc23, 0x3, 0xfff0020, 0x9a)
- Place Call Failed. Erc 3107, App 3, App Data 268369952, Expected App 154
In this case, contact Cisco TAC and include this error information in the problem description.
- Is this a port group configuration problem? Use the port command to verify that the port group is enabled for outgoing calls.
- Does the call even make it out of the system? The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace translation table may be wrong. In this case, the call might not have been placed or the call was placed but the network rejected it. To check for these possibilities do the following:
- Access the CLI. If you do not already have terminal logging turned on, turn it on. For information, see Logging Your HyperTerminal Session.
- At the tech$ prompt, enter cptrace -T 5 .
- Recreate the outdial issue by either using the #3 option (if you are already in a meeting) or by opening a new CLI and running the activity command.
- Look at the information displayed on the CLI that is running the cptrace command. If a specific port number is given (anything of the form "P nnn") then the call actually went out. You should see something similar to the following:
- 08/18 13:36:05.31 P 298 Outdial : UserID 3 RetCode 0
- Dest 1019R Trans Dest 1019R
- The preceding example shows a successful attempt to outdial to the number 1019.
- At the tech$ prompt, enter cptrace -t -v . If you see nothing, try the same call again but enter cptrace -T 5 . If you see an example similar to the following, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace placed the call:
- 08/18 13:43:44.62 P 299 Cmd: PRE-OPEN ChanHndl: 0x000b
- Near End: IP Addr 172.27.6.128 RTP Port 16110
- If the output from running both the cptrace -t -v and cptrace -t -T 5 commands shows examples similar to the preceding ones, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace placed the call and the call was placed to an IP port. Any network audio messages you hear from doing a #3 outdial from a meeting may explain why the network did not accept the call.
- If you see only one or neither of the two preceding examples, the problem is within Cisco Unified MeetingPlace and most likely within the outcall translation table. Contact Cisco TAC so they can modify the translation table.
- For outcalls not being placed by Cisco Unified MeetingPlace attempt a number of outdials to internal extensions, local numbers, long distance numbers (with both 11 digits [1 + area code + number] and 10 digits [area code + number] dialing), and international numbers (011 + international number dialing). Try to determine if all outcalls fail or just some. The specific number patterns that fail will help Cisco TAC determine what is wrong with the translation table.
- For outcalls placed by Cisco Unified MeetingPlace but rejected by the network, assuming that IP outcalls were recently working, check the following:
- Have Cisco Unified CallManager routing tables been changed recently?
- Has any aspect of your network changed recently, such as new switches, routers, hubs, or changes to the existing infrastructure?
- Have the PSTN settings for the IP to PSTN gateway changed recently?
- Have you recently changed your PSTN provider or the plan under your original provider? If so, for T1 PRI and E1 connections, the NSF, numbering plan identifier, or type of number codes may need to change or for T1 CAS connections, the type of signaling may have changed. For example, the old service may have used loop start but the new service uses E&M wink start.
Checking the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway
To Check the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway
- Open the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Gateway SIM event log and verify that the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway receives the outdial command from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.
- Still looking at the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Gateway SIM event log, verify that the H.323/SIP Gateway received the correct phone number.
- MeetingPlace IP outdial. Phone=651515 IRC=0 PSTN=46 Unit=0
- In the H.323/SIP Gateway configuration, verify that the outdial is sent using the appropriate protocol.
- In the H.323/SIP Gateway configuration, verify that the gateway, gatekeeper, and proxy server addresses and ports are correct according to the desired protocol.
- In the H.323/SIP Gateway configuration, verify that the E.164 address and H.323 ID fields are correct for H.323 outdials. Verify that the display name, user name, and session name are correct for SIP outdials.
Checking Cisco Unified CallManager
To Check Cisco Unified CallManager
- If the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway resides on a gateway with multiple IP addresses, verify that Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager) has an H.323 gateway configuration for each IP address.
- Verify that the gateway settings created for the H.323/SIP Gateway allow outdials.
Checking the IP Phone
Verify that the IP phone can place a direct call to the requested outdialed number.

Latin ūniōn- meant "oneness, unity" - understandably, since it's derived from ūnus "one". But it also meant "a single large pearl", and "a kind of single onion". Onion is from Anglo-Norman vngeon, oignon, oinion etc, in the 12th-13th centuries, while union is borrowed from French union in the 15th century.
So what's the connection between "oneness" and "onion" and "pearl"? The OED says
According to the classical Latin agricultural writer Columella, the peasants used ūniō for a certain variety of onion because it put forth no shoots, i.e. it represented a single entity. The application of the word to a pearl may represent an independent derivation from ūnus one, alluding to the fact that it was worn alone, or it may be a transfer from the sense 'onion', with reference to the similarity in shape.

The partnership between Barnard College and Columbia University is unique in American higher education. It dates back to Barnard's founding in 1889 and the conviction of Columbia's 10th president, Frederick A. P. Barnard, that women deserved an education in New York City comparable to that received by men. Since that time, both institutions have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, and have reaffirmed and expanded the tenets of the original agreement that bound Barnard and Columbia together.
The University and the College are intertwined in countless ways: Students at each institution can take courses at the other, live in the same residence halls, share access to twenty-two libraries, and compete together in the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium. Barnard students receive the diploma of the University signed by the presidents of both institutions, and the College is represented in the University Senate. At the same time, Barnard is legally separate and financially independent from the University; sets its own student fees; has a separate endowment, administration and faculty, and admissions office; and undertakes its own fund-raising. Barnard provides education to all university undergraduates in architecture, dance, education, theater, and urban studies, while programs in computer science, statistics, and engineering are centered at Columbia. Barnard women also take leadership positions in many Columbia-sponsored organizations, from the Spectator, the nation's second-oldest student daily, to spearheading Community Impact, an umbrella volunteer action group.
Both Barnard College and Columbia University benefit from their historic relationship, which allows each to leverage the assets and experience of the other—in classrooms, on the athletic fields, in extracurricular activities and community service organizations, with expanded curricular offerings, and shared faculty resources—and to claim a collective advantage unique among their peers.

The walls of Eurotechnik reveal its owner's love for racing. The foyer is filled with trophies, ribbons and plaques from the many races that Joe Crowell has won. Those awards include two National Championship trophies in the 944 Super Cup and 944 Cup series.
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. – The walls of Eurotechnik reveal its owner's love for racing. The foyer is filled with trophies, ribbons and plaques from the many races that Joe Crowell has won. Those awards include two National Championship trophies in the 944 Super Cup and 944 Cup series.
None of that, however, can top what the Hendersonville resident has embarked on in the past year. Crowell, 30, was selected to be a contestant on a new Speed Channel television show called "R U Faster Than a Redneck?" which will air at 9 p.m. on Mondays.
Crowell's episode will be on Speed on March 18.
The premise of the show pits foreign street cars against supercharged muscle cars driven by "rednecks." Contestants could drive in at least three races per episode, depending on how much they win. There's a qualifying race and a race against a car that the contestant chooses. If the contestant wins that race, the show's producers put them up against a car of their choosing. If they win that race, the driver wins $10,000.
The cars weren't just your average muscle cars that Crowell and others were going up against, he said. They were enhanced, muscle cars worth $100,000 or more.
"They didn't just want a bunch of rookies going out and smashing up these cars," he said. That's how they found Crowell.
Crowell bought Eurotechnik three years ago. The company's expertise is repair and maintenance of German cars. Crowell graduated from Western Carolina in 2007 with a degree in construction management and business. His dad owns Joe Crowell Construction in Hendersonville.
His plan was to follow in his father's footsteps, and he did, sort of.
"I grew up with a hammer in this hand and wrench in this hand," Crowell said with both hands in the air.
While his dad worked in the construction world, he left the sawdust behind when he got home. That's when he would work on cars. The elder Crowell raced in the late 1970s and in the early 1980s. He finished runner-up for two national championships. He gave it up once he started a family. He took a 15-year hiatus then started to return to racing.
That's when his oldest son got the racing bug. At age 17, the younger Joe Crowell got behind the wheel of a car. Crowell and his three sons — Joe, Brent and Case — began bonding within the confines of racing. They built a Porche 944 when Crowell was 17 years old, and they were going to split the driving duties in racing.
It turned out that the car moved a little faster with youth behind the wheel, the younger Joe Crowell joked. For his dad, it didn't matter as much because it was about spending time with his sons.
"My wife (Denise) has always encouraged it because she sees it's the bond between a father and his sons," Crowell said. "That's something we love to do together. It's been a great father-son activity."
The racing gene is strong in the Crowell family.
T heyoungerJoeCrowell, however, has made a living out of his greatest passion. The business, behind Fresh Market on Spartanburg Highway, gives Crowell ample opportunity to live his dream.
That dream took a step forward when a call came in last spring with more potential exposure. On the other end was the producer of a new television show inquiring whether or not Joe Crowell knew anyone who raced foreign cars who would be interested in racing on a television show.
The producer said the show would set up "young guys in import cars to race muscle cars," Crowell said. The producer added that it would be road course racing, not drag racing, which took Crowell's interest to another level.
"I said, 'OK, now you've got my attention,'" he said.
Crowell was sold on it when the producers divulged the location of the filming. The races would be filmed just down the road at the Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C. — a track that Crowell was familiar with.
They sent an application and asked Crowell to do a video. In the video, he had to talk a little trash. He sent both back in, but his original video didn't have enough trash talk in it. Producers asked him to do another video. A week later, he got the call and was asked to be a part of the show. The time frame, however, was still up in the air.
He was excited, but at the same time had just sold the Porsche 968 he was driving, so he began to search for a car. He and his father talked about building a Porsche 944 similar to the ones he races. That idea failed to come to fruition because of the time frame.
Once he realized that shooting was going to start in May, he began looking for a car. His friend Jake Burns, who owns Carolina Autohouse, mentioned that Crowell should take a look at Audis. Burns even found one for sale in Houston that could've been the solution.
"The second I saw the thing, I fell in love with it," Crowell said. The car was a pearl white Audi S4 Avant.
He bought a plane ticket to Houston, looked over the car and bought it. Crowell drove the car 1,000 miles back home. Once he got it home, Crowell did a closer inspection at his garage. He had to repair the suspension, fix the shocks and fix an oil leak. With some minor tuning, the car was ready to go.
A week later, he was pulling into the track at Kershaw and was a little intimidated by the speed of a certain high-end import car that passed him.
"When a Lamborghini passed me going a buck-40 (140 mph), it was a little unnerving," he said. There was a wide array of cars ready to qualify for the show that included Audis, Porsches and other import cars.
After some early troubles in practice laps, Crowell successfully qualified for the show. Legally, however, he can't talk about the results until his episode airs.
"The competition was extremely, extremely fierce," he said. "The whole experience was surreal."

Artists Believe in Yamaha: Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Artists Believe in Yamaha
Next to the world renowned products, Yamaha say their most important assets are their artists, and it's really not hard to see why. With endorsements from Elton John and Michael Buble to Sheryl Crow, the artists are the people who make the two-dimensional products come alive.They boast a roster of over 3500 artists, demonstrating a spectrum of genres with musical flair and quality as superb and immense as the instruments themselves.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Rodrigo Y Gabriela are a unique guitar duo who went from playing in a Thrash Metal band to being a world-famous musical fusion duo. The two talented musicians met in Mexico City whilst playing in the band, Tierra Acida (Acidic Soil), but became increasingly frustrated with the limited scope of the domestic music scene. Deciding to move to Europe was possibly the best decision of their careers, as it was in Dublin, Ireland that their unique "rhythmic-fusion" style was welcomed with open arms.
The duo took to busking on the streets on the capital city, and by the turn of the millennium had become regulars on the vast and busy Grafton Street, along with fellow busker Damien Rice. Specialising in fast, rhythmic acoustic guitar playing, the duo gained a reputation performing in the bars and pubs of Dublin, gaining a large fan base from their interesting style. Their big break came in the form of Damien offering them the chance to provide the support for the Irish Musical Festival, Oxegen, and in 2005 the two toured extensively in festivals around the UK and beyond. By this time, they had developed a large repertoire of original material in a variety of styles, and released their debut album, Re-Foc in 2002. "Theirs is a union where mutual understanding goes beyond intuitive and straight into the realms of Zen. Rhythmic Yin to melodic Yang."
Since coming into their own, Rodrigo and Gabriela have produced 6 albums, one of which, the self-titled album Rodrigo Y Gabriela (2006) went on to sell over 600'000 copies worldwide, reaching No1 in the national charts and beating other musicians like the Arctic Monkeys to the top spot. The two slowly began gaining popularity and recognition in more and more countries, and it didn't take long for the nation to succumb to the unique charms of the record leading to the two touring for more over two and a half years in support of the release.
More Recently...
Rodrigo Y Gabriela have featured on MTV, Jools Holland, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Glastonbury, T in the Park and even performed for President Obama in May 2010. Other ventures include the duo featuring in the 2011 DreamWorks Film, Puss in Boots, and in 2011 they collaborated with film composer Hanz Zimmer on the score for Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides.

The Rod Y Gab Guitars
Gabriela - Yamaha NCX200R
The NCX2000R is a top-of-the-line, handcrafted, all solid, classical electro-acoustic masterpiece. The instrument was built from the expertise acquired from over 40 years of handcrafting classical Spanish guitars.
This guitar features A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. It is through precise control of humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure that the molecular properties of the wood are able to be manipulated, to create a more acoustically ideal condition. This process results in the instruments sound being close to that of a vintage guitar that had been used for years. Instruments that have undergone this treatment have received high praises from a number of musicians, with comments such as "well settled", "mature" and "clear".
The NCX line is designed to provide nylon-string guitarists a versatile instrument that can cover a wide array of styles such Classical, Flamenco, Latin, Pop, and much more… which explains why this fusion duo can really make them sing.
Rodrigo - Yamaha NTX1200R
in addition to being a simply stunning instrument, the NTX1200R is designed to offer the playability and feel of a steel stringed acoustic. This professional level model is the perfect choice for adding the warm tone of a nylon string acoustic guitar to your music. The Yamaha NTX1200R Classical Electro-Acoustic Guitar offers an extended performance tine, making the NTX1200R perfect use with a wide range of styles. The Yamaha NTX 1200R is a capable instrument, making everything you play sound impeccable, from subtle fingerpicking to flatpick solos.
Also featuring A.R.E., the versatile, contemporary styled NTX1200R is designed with thinner a body, narrow neck and cutaway designs to provide greater comfort and playability for today's steel-string acoustic and electric players.
