Rangers save 16 from Grand
By Cory Hatch & Angus M. Thuermer Jr., Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Date: July 22, 2010
Grand Teton National Park rangers rescued 16 climbers injured in a lightning storm on the 13,770-foot Grand Teton on Wednesday but had to call off the search for a 17th at dark.
The 17 were caught in the storm, which reached a crescendo between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Jenny Lake climbing rangers used two helicopters to evacuate the 16, all of whom were injured by lightning strikes. All were higher than 13,200 feet.
The event was likely the largest search and rescue operation in Grand Teton since the early 1960s. Rangers accomplished the rescue after being dropped on the mountains summit pyramid from a rope dangling beneath a helicopter, then plucking nine of the injured off the peak using the same dangling short haul technique.
Park officials did not release the name of the missing climber. He was one of a party of eight climbing the peak via the Owen-Spalding route, the easiest on the mountain.
The missing climber had been with seven companions in the area of the Belly Roll when the storm hit, park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said. The feature is so named because climbers must drag their stomachs across the bulging rock as they cling to hand holds and traverse above the precipitous West Face.
He went over a cliff, Skaggs said. I dont know what made him go down, the concussion [from lightning] or a lightning strike. They just lost sight of him.
They will look for him at first light, Skaggs said of the rangers. Given the circumstances, they wouldnt attempt this at night.
In addition to the group at the Belly Roll, another team of five climbers was above that feature on the Owen-Spalding route and a third team of four was 100 feet from the summit on the Exum Ridge.
Skaggs said a lightning map showed at least six or seven strikes in the area. A professional Exum mountain guide aided the party from the Belly Roll down to the 11,650-foot high Lower Saddle.
Multiple patients reported being struck three, four, five times, physician A.J. Wheeler, co-medical advisor for Grand Teton National Park said. We saw a whole range of injuries from bumps and bruises to lightning burns and electrical injuries to secondary trauma from being thrown, by lightning strikes.
Climbers rescued from the summit pyramid were flown, dangling below the rescue airship, to the Lower Saddle. From there many, if not all, of the victims got inside a Yellowstone National Park helicopter and were shuttled to the Lupine Meadows rescue cache at 6,700 feet on the valley floor.
I wouldnt classify anyone as critical, but we did see the whole range of injuries, Wheeler said.
Skaggs said at least one of the groups included Teton area residents. The other parties were made up of climbers who were not permanent denizens of Teton County, she said.
Nine patients arrived at St. Johns Hospital, one of them a woman, spokeswoman Karen Connelly said. One was admitted to the intensive care unit and another flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
Four were expected to be admitted to the primary care unit in fair condition suffering from injuries resulting from lightning strikes. Those amounted to minor trauma and burns.
Three were discharged.
Among those who were unloaded from the helicopter at Lupine Meadows and into ambulances were a man and a woman who were bandaged. The man was carried or limping and had a bandaged foot. The woman had a field dressing on her hand.
Several of those who got off the rescue ship were unsteady. One woman appeared in wide-eyed shock.
Rangers had to help several of the victims. Others walked off without signs of distress.
The rescue got underway at about 2 p.m., but was suspended just after 5 p.m. by another storm that sent still more lightning down on the highest peaks in the Teton Range. Some rescue workers and victims took shelter in the Exum Hut and Park Service ranger hut on the Lower Saddle during the second storm.
At 6:30 p.m., both helicopters again departed from Lupine Meadows in the rain to continue rescue operations. All but the missing climber were on the valley floor by about 9 p.m. At least one helicopter then flew again to see if the missing climber could be found.
It was so dark by then it would be difficult to locate that climber, Skaggs said.
The operation included 18 rescue workers on the mountain, the helicopter crews, and numerous support staff.

College student from Hull missing in Grand Tetons
By Courier Lee News Service and wire reports | Posted: Thursday, July 22, 2010 12:49 pm
HULL --- Rescue workers resumed a high-altitude search Thursday for a climber from Hull, who disappeared during a fierce thunderstorm that forced park officials to remove 16 other hikers from an exposed mountainside.
Dordt College sports information director Mike Byker confirmed the missing hiker is
Brandon Oldenkamp, a Hull, Iowa, resident and member of the Dordt men's basketball team.
Byker said the school was not ready to comment on the ongoing rescue missing.
Three rangers who spent the night on Grand Teton mountain began searching at daybreak and more rangers were to join in the search during the day, park spokeswoman Bobbie Visnovske said. A helicopter was assisting in the effort.
Teams on Wednesday used helicopters to rescue 16 injured climbers in three separate groups from elevations above 13,000 feet on the mountain.
All the climbers suffered injuries from lightning, and included burns and neurological effects such as numbness, park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said.
The groups were climbing the 13,770-foot Grand Teton mountain when severe lightning hit the area.
Suspended from helicopters by rope, rangers plucked the climbers from the mountain and carried them to aid stations at lower elevations. On Wednesday night, the climbers notified emergency officials of a 17th climber who had not been accounted for, Skaggs said.
"He did go over a cliff. His climbing party lost sight of him, which sounds quite serious. But his condition is unknown at this point," Skaggs said late Wednesday evening.
The climber disappeared off the west face of the mountain, she said.
"It's vertical terrain. It's possible that he fell some distance," Skaggs told The Associated Press.
The climbers' identities and hometowns weren't available, Skaggs said.
Nine climbers were taken to St. John's Medical Center in Jackson, said hospital spokeswoman Karen Connelly.
The hospital discharged three of the patients and transported a fourth to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center for treatment of potentially serious injuries. The five others were being evaluated Wednesday night, Connelly said.
"All of the patients that we saw were evaluated and treated for injuries related to lightning strike, and those injuries included minor trauma and burns," Connelly said. "Most of the patients are in fair to good condition."
Connelly said some of the rescued climbers had declined to go to the hospital.

UPDATE: Body of missing climber found, identified
By Kelsey Dayton
Date: July 22, 2010
Grand Teton National Park rangers Thursday morning found the body of an Iowa climber who was knocked off the 13,770-foot high Grand Teton during a lightning storm Wednesday that injured 16 other mountaineers.
Brandon Oldenkamp, 21, of Sanborn, Iowa, was crossing a feature known as the Belly Roll on the Owen-Spalding route of the mountain, when lightning knocked him off the shear rock wall, park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said. Oldenkamp was in a climbing harness, tied into a rope and on belay when the lightning hit and his friends watched him disappear.
He was one of 17 climbers in three parties who were above 13,200 feet on the Grand when the storm rolled over the mountain mid day. Rangers used two helicopters to rescue the other 16 before dark in likely the most complex operation in park history, Skaggs said.
The search for Oldenkamp resumed this morning and rangers spotted his body. It was about 2,000 feet below where he was last seen by companions and near a climb known as the Black Ice Couloir.
Rangers had not reached Oldenkamps body by noon, Skaggs said. When they do, they may be able to learn why normal climbing safety gear did not save him from the deadly fall.
One theory is lightning hit and severed the rope, Skaggs said.
Two of the three parties caught in the storm were on the Owen-Spalding route, while the other group was on the Exum route.
To effect the rescue, rangers flew by helicopter to the Lower Saddle of the Grand Teton and then climbed to the stranded parties. Earlier reports said the rangers were dropped near the top of the mountain by helicopter, but that is apparently not the case.
Several of the injured were taken off the Grands summit pyramid using the short-haul method where they dangle from a cable below the helicopter.
Of the nine patients St. Johns Medical Center received, three were treated and released, four were admitted into primary care unit in fair condition one of whom was released today, one was admitted into the intensive care unit and one with more serious injuries was flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, hospital spokeswoman Karen Connelly said. All were seen for injuries relating to lightning strike, such as trauma and burns.
The rescue mission is believed to be the most difficult conducted by Grand Teton National Park staff. Vertical terrain, the number of climbers and the problematic weather added to the challenge, Skaggs said.
This will be one of, if not, the most complex rescue operations that Grand Teton National Park staff has ever conducted, she said.
Oldenkamp was going to be a senior at Dordt College in Iowa where he played basketball, said John Baas, vice president of college advancement. The college community was contacted and students were asked to join in prayer for Oldenkamp, his family and the rescuers, Baas said. A campus-wide prayer service was planned for later in the day.

So tragic. May he rest in peace.
On the Grand Teton, you can easily see the storm approaching from many many miles away - as far as your eyes can see to be exact. I'm curious how did so many groups got caught exposed like that?

Grand Teton National Park (WY)
Climber Killed, Sixteen Injured During Lightning Storm
Rangers launched a multi-faceted, complex rescue operation to reach numerous climbers who were injured by lightning during the passage of an active and severe thunderstorm in the Teton Range on Wednesday, July 21st. Lightning bolts struck at a number of locations on the 13,770-foot Grand Teton at around noon, and 16 climbers received moderate to severe injuries from indirect electrical charges radiating from the lightning. One climber who was still missing on Wednesday evening was discovered during an aerial search by helicopter yesterday morning. Brandon Oldenkamp, 21, of Sanborn, Iowa, apparently fell about 2,000 feet to his death when he was impacted by a lightning strike. His body was located off the Northwest Face of the Grand Teton below a feature called the Black Ice Couloir. Teton Interagency Dispatch Center received an initial cell phone call at 12:25 p.m. on Wednesday from one of the climbing parties, requesting help for injured persons. Rangers were staging a rescue mission for that climbing party when another cell phone call was received from another climbing party that had also been hit by lightning. Eventually, a third group made contact to summon help and the rescue mission increased in size, scope and complexity. Rangers summoned the Teton interagency contract helicopter and began to fly rescue personnel and equipment to the 11,600-foot Lower Saddle of the Grand Teton. Once equipment and staff were in place there, rangers quickly climbed to various areas on the Grand Teton where the injured people were located. As they reached the separate climbing parties, they provided emergency medical care and prepared the injured people for evacuation from the mountain. The 16 climbers all received lightning-related injuriesburns and varying levels of neurological problemsas they were indirectly affected by an electrical charge from one or more lightning strikes. The rescue mission continued in the midst of rain squalls, thick clouds and additional thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening hours of Wednesday. The rescue operation involved a sequential evacuation of the 16 climbers. Two climbers reached the Lower Saddle on their own, but were flown via helicopter to the Lupine Meadows rescue cache. Seven climbers were able to make their way down from a ledge above the Black Ice Couloir at 13,200 feet with the assistance of professional guides from Exum Mountain Guides. The remaining seven climbers, located between 13,300 and 13,600 feet, were reached by rangers and transported via short-haul to the Lower Saddle, where they were treated by an emergency room doctor from St. Johns Medical Center before being placed in a second helicopter to be flown to the to the Lupine Meadows rescue cache on the valley floor. The passage of a late afternoon thunderstorm temporarily delayed the transport of the climbers from the Lower Saddle. As weather conditions improved, the aerial evacuation continued until all the injured persons were delivered to the valley floor and waiting ambulances that then transported them to St. Johns Medical Center. The rescue is one of the largest missions conducted by Grand Teton National Park staff, given the number of injured people, the vertical terrain of the incident and inclement weather conditions.

I can only speculate based on my very limited alpine experience. Two issues:
1) I've been on a peak where the storm approached from the opposite side, and was in fact difficult to predict until it was right over me.
2) Based on my only GT summit via Upper Exum, it's a committing route (moreso for a relative noob). e.g. the U-E is moderate in difficulty, but bailing from mid-route would require some veeeery exposed raps in unknown territory. e.g. the rap down to Wall Street from the "open book" pitch, would be a serious undertaking unless you know the terrain really well.
Once committed to the routes, I think most folks would try to climb it out and descend via the OS trade-route raps.

Anyone has an update on the cause of the fall? I read somewhere that the victim was roped in and possibly his rope got cut by a lightning...

Climbers endure trial by fire, ice
Rangers, guides, pilots, doctors rescue 16 in largest Teton rescue effort ever.
By Angus M. Thuermer Jr., Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Date: July 28, 2010
Grand Teton National Park rangers are investigating whether 21-year-old Brandon Oldenkamps climbing harness was properly attached to his rope when lightning knocked him off the Grand Teton and to his death July 21.
Oldenkamp was the only fatality from an intense storm of snow, hail and rain that shocked and injured 16 others near the summit of the 13,770-foot peak. The fury developed around noon, grew quickly in its intensity, hit the peak with at least six lightning strikes and lasted for more than an hour, rangers said.
In their largest rescue ever, Jenny Lake climbing rangers used a helicopter to pluck seven victims from about 13,200 feet and flew out nine others. The nine-hour marathon involved climbing through waterfalls and lightning, precision flying, evacuation of patients hanging beneath an airship, plus triage and first aid.
In all, 92 emergency workers collaborated in the effort that extended from the rangers Lupine Meadows rescue cache at 6,700 feet to near the summit, according to a list provided by the park. The success was marred only by the mystery of Oldenkamps disappearance.
Members of his party told rangers he appeared to be securely attached to a rope and on belay when lightning knocked him off the mountain from near the Belly Roll boulder on the Owen-Spalding Route. Rangers are investigating whether the victim might have attached the climbing rope to a gear loop on his harness rather than a point designed to hold body weight.
Ranger Jack McConnell was the first rescuer on scene to hear directly from the party about the fall.
We lost one over the edge, he reported them saying.
McConnell and ranger Helen Bowers had climbed to the distressed mountaineers from the 11,650-foot Lower Saddle, where a helicopter landed them at 1:58 p.m. Exum guide Dan Corn accompanied them from a hut-like tent that serves as guides high camp.
For the next seven and a half hours, they climbed from one cluster of injured mountaineers to another, assessing each and giving first aid. They directed some to descend, anchored others to the mountain and prepared the seriously injured for short haul evacuation beneath a helicopter.
The extent of the carnage wasnt immediately apparent to rescuers. They first encountered two of the least injured descending from the 13,200-foot Upper Saddle.
It was kind of confusing, Bowers said of the initial reports.
Climber Steve Tyler made the first cell phone call at 12:24 p.m., perhaps 15 minutes after whats thought to have been the largest lightning strike.
That call reported a party of five in trouble and injured by lightning. Then came a report of perhaps four more from a different party hurt on the Exum Ridge. Then another seven plus one missing.
There were people all over the mountain, said Jim Springer, rescue coordinator at the Lupine Meadows rescue cache on the valley floor. When the totality of the disaster unfolded, I had to basically stop and take a deep breath.
He summoned all the emergency helpers he could, including a second helicopter from Yellowstone National Park and ambulances from Jackson and Teton County. Finally, there was nobody else to call, he said.
In all, there were 18 climbers in three parties. Two the Greg Sparks and Steve Tyler parties were on the Owen-Spalding Route and had a total of 13 people. The Alan Kline party was on the Exum Ridge and had four.
The effort was dangerous, conducted within safety parameters but worthwhile, rangers said.
We risked a lot to save a lot, head rescue ranger Scott Guenther said.
As McConnell, Bowers and Corn climbed from the Lower Saddle to the Upper Saddle, they found seven members of the Sparks party the group that had lost Oldenkamp going down the wrong way. Two members of the group were rappelling down ropes into a gully known as the Idaho Express.
They had lost one of their climbing members; they were in a confused state, McConnell said. They had been hit by lightning.
All could move, however, and McConnell directed guide Corn to usher the group to the proper descent. The two who had gone down the wrong way climbed back up.
We had priority patients on the upper mountain, McConnell said.
A helicopter reconnaissance had made the grim picture clear.
Up went Corn and McConnell, as Bowers moved the group toward the Black Rock Chimney. She told them to descend to more rangers who were coming up.
She urged them, while in the chimney, to grab a protruding rock sometimes called the worlds best handhold.
I told them, Touch that and its good luck, she said.
McConnell and Corn got to the Upper Saddle to find the Owen-Spalding Route a virtual river.
It was running with water, a gully flusher, McConnell said.
Above were four remaining members of the Tyler party, including Steve Tyler, 67, who made the first call for help.
The largest lightning strike the granddaddy of them all, knocked the group down, Tyler said. He rolled over to see his son-in-law, Troy Smith, seemingly dead.
His eyes were rolled back and he wasnt breathing, Tyler said. Partly paralyzed by the lightning, he said, all I could do was blow into his mouth. It must have been six breaths when he started to breathe on his own.
Tylers son Mike was below with Tylers other son, Dan, who also was injured. Mike Tyler descended for help.
Steve Tyler called with his cell phone three times. Springer, the rescue organizer, recounted one phone conversation with an injured climber.
It was really cold, Springer said. He couldnt move. There was definitely a sense of desperation in his voice. I just had to be encouraging.
Ranger McConnell got to Steve Tylers party and hailed a greeting.
Hows it going? he said he yelled. Jenny Lake rescue. Were going to get you off the mountain. Just sit tight.
McConnell got to one victim.
He was numb, could not feel his legs from the waist down, the ranger said.
He and Corn assessed the four climbers who were spread out above and below the Owen Chimney. Rescuers left the lowest Dan Tyler anchored to the rock to wait for more rangers.
Above the chimney, the two went to work on Steve Tyler, Troy Smith and Henry Appleton, preparing them for evacuation.
They all could tell me their name that, as an emergency provider, puts you at ease, McConnell said.
A helicopter would evacuate them, McConnell told the group, if we get a weather window. He explained how they would put on screamer suits full body harnesses and how the helicopter would hover above, dangling a line to which they would be attached. It would pick them up and fly them down to the Lower Saddle and other rangers.
They said screamer suit? What does that mean? McConnell said.
You will be removed from this site via a long line attached to the helicopter and delivered to the Lower Saddle and received by rangers, he told them using language of the rescuer. Completely secure was another phrase he used, along with the best ride in the Tetons.
There was no resistance, McConnell said. They wanted to press the easy button and get out of there.
At 4:48 p.m., the park rescue ship piloted by Matt Heart plucked Smith and Appleton off the peak and flew them to the Lower Saddle. The airship brought the two harness suits back to the site before weather closed in and flights stopped.
McConnell and Corn tossed one suit down to rangers Marty Vidak and Drew Hardesty, who were with Dan Tyler. The ranger and guide then walked Steve Tyler about 150 feet to the top of the normal Owen-Spalding descent rappel. They lowered him directly to the Upper Saddle and flat ground where Bowers had stopped to collect victims and coordinate movements. They rappelled to that spot to wait out the next storm.
Unfortunately, we had to leave Marty and Drew behind with the other patient, McConnell said. He was as injured as anybody.
The two rangers and Dan Tyler were left exposed on the upper mountain as more lightning and rain hit the peak. Just two rope lengths away, McConnell, Corn, Steve Tyler and Bowers were huddled in a large cave, hoping they wouldnt get shocked.
Meanwhile, Alan Kline, Matt Walker and Elizabeth Smith had made their own way off the Exum Ridge to the Upper Saddle. They had been the highest party on the mountain and were shocked at least four times.
I just remember screaming in pain, Walker said. One of the images burned in my brain is looking at my friends and seeing the anguish in their faces.
Lightning burned Walker in several places, and he couldnt use his right foot. Smith couldnt grip a rope. They sent partner Andrew Larson down for help.
Kline, a certified mountain guide on a busmans holiday, took charge.
He lowered Smith, while Walker hobbled and rappelled. They moved down the summit pyramid and found the anchors for the final rappel to the Upper Saddle and relative safety.
I saw a lot of resilience, Bowers said of the Kline party. They had taken the initiative to get themselves off. They were wet, they were injured and they were tired. They smelled like burned flesh and hair.
One member of the party, Walker said, lost a finger in the incident. When he reached Bowers, he collapsed.
All my emotions washed over me and I broke down, Walker said.
The trial wasnt over, however. At the Upper Saddle, yet another bolt shocked McConnell.
It felt like somebody punched me in my hand, through my arm and out the elbow, he said. The Upper Saddle is not a safe place to be. Theres [historically] a lot of singeing of mittens and raised eyebrows.
Approximately two hours later, the weather cleared enough so the Grand Teton rescue helicopter could return for Dan Tyler at the base of the Owen Chimney. Pilot Heart lifted him off the peak at 6:45 p.m.
Two minutes before 7 p.m., the ship returned for two of Klines Exum Ridge group. At 7:15 p.m., Heart picked up Steve Tyler and the last patient from the Exum Ridge team, landing them at the Lower Saddle.
There, medical doctor A.J. Wheeler had taken over the Exum tent hut as an emergency and triage room. After seeing patients there, he ordered them to one of the airships for the flight to the valley floor rescue cache.
At 7:56 p.m., the last climber landed at the Lupine Meadows cache. One helicopter then searched the bottom of the West Face that evening, but spotters saw no sign of Oldenkamp.
Three rangers stayed on the Lower Saddle that night. They found his body the next day.
All five climbers admitted to St. Johns Medical Center on July 21 were discharged during the weekend, officials there said. One patient flown to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls also has been discharged.
Springer said that while most thunderstorms occur in the afternoon, it is not rare for them to bloom earlier.
Seasoned climbers will retreat at signs of building clouds, he said. All three parties were going up in the face of deteriorating weather, Springer said. Among each, there was talk of sitting the storms out, he said.
Sparks party, of which Oldenkamp was a member, started that morning from the moraine camping zone just below the Lower Saddle; the other two groups had camped at the saddle.
Six Exum Mountain Guides employees climbed to the summit the morning of the storm with 12 clients, most via the Exum Ridge and the latest reaching the top at 9:15 a.m.
One more Exum guide attempting to climb the peak with a client in a day turned back in the face of weather from just above the Lower Saddle at 10:30 a.m., Exum guides said. A Jackson Hole Mountain Guides employee was on the summit pyramid with a client but retreated, saying, If we continue from here, it will be very risky, rangers said.
The storm moved in with wind, rain and snow, to begin with. Climbers said they saw a break and blue skies after an initial pulse. The two groups on the Owen-Spalding Route turned back before they were hit. Walkers party on the Exum Ridge was stalled by the first weather, then hit by the big storm.
We thought it would go south of us, but it kind of crept up on us, Walker said.
He said his partners dont think they would have been any better off if they had tried to retreat earlier, as they would have been caught by the storm at the rappel.
Steve Tyler, a Provo, Utah, resident who first climbed the Grand in 1966, said he remembers that summer not making the summit on his first attempt.
Another party waited it out, he said. They got it and we didnt. They waited it out and we didnt.
He said that has colored his perspective. A lifelong climber, he said he had a rule of thumb to not change plans with forecasts of 20 percent to 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.
I may lower that standard a bit, he said.

Thanks for posting this. Crazy complicated ordeal! Not sure if I would have chosen flying out in the suit - sounds scarier than down climbing. Kudos to the more experienced team for down climbing on their own!

Bulldogs Return to the Water Eager to Continue Fall Season
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Last weekend's great results propelled the No. 1 Yale coed sailing team from fifth to first in the national rankings. The Bulldogs will hit the water for the second weekend of the fall season after a week of correcting any issues that appeared in the first weekend of racing. The Bulldogs will travel to Cambridge, Mass., for the Hatch Brown Trophy, King's Point, N.Y., for the Nevins Trophy, and Boston, Mass., for the Boston Harbor Invitational.
The Bulldogs will be sailing in the coed intersectionals in both the New England Region and the Mid-Atlantic region, which means that both teams will face top competition. The Hatch Brown is the New England intersectional. Hosted by MIT and Boston University at the MIT sailing center in Cambridge, Mass., in FJs, the regatta is named for Hatch Brown, who was the third sailing master at MIT and also the winner of A division at the National Championship while a student at Boston University.
Racing will take place on the eternally interesting and surprising Charles River, known throughout college sailing for its shifts and puffs that often seem to appear out of nowhere. MIT will use its own fleet of FJs as well as Harvard's fleet, allowing for two divisions of racing on the water at all times. Unlike most regattas, the Hatch Brown will have three divisions, which means that each school will have three boats rather than the normal two-division, two-boat format.
The Nevins Trophy, which is being hosted by the US Merchant Marine Academy at King's Point, N.Y., will also have three regattas. However, while A and B division will sail doublehanded boats, C division will sail lasers for the regatta. This plays into the Bulldogs' strengths as they are talented in both doublehanded and singlehanded dinghies and have the depth to field a complete team.
A third team of Bulldogs will travel to Boston for the Boston Harbor Invitational hosted by Boston College. While a smaller regatta, this event will give some of the Bulldogs who did not get to sail last weekend an opportunity to put in some time on the water and gain experience at a new venue.
Racing will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Nevins Trophy and 9:30 a.m. at the Hatch Brown Trophy and the Boston Harbor Invitational.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ximen Mining Corp. (TSX-V:XIM) is pleased to announce that it will be the first company in over a decade to begin a major work program on the main shear zone at one of southern BC's first and more significant epithermal gold systems. The breadth of this Epithermal Gold system is significant and covers an area several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide. This is an extremely low sulphide system with exceptional high grade nugget gold. In the previous drill programs conducted over a decade ago, this system produced several bonanza gold grades such as 55 feet of 1 oz and away from the main shear, 4.9 oz over 4.3 feet. There are also several soil anomalies, with results such as 1 oz in soils. These exceptionally high grade targets have had no follow up since their discovery.
Ximen has spent the last several months compiling and researching all the previous data and programs conducted to date spanning a 40 year history of work. The company has retained John May, GIS Geologist, formally of Kinross who has a 30 year professional history in epithermal systems in the region, to work with Linda Caron, M.Sc. P. Eng., who is in charge and leading the exploration program on the Brett project. A GIS model of the previous work is expected imminently and will be announced when completed.
Ximen will be active on the ground next week. The company's four person crew consists of Linda Caron, and two field geologists as well as one field assistant who is specializing in earth sciences. They will be accompanied by a geophysics crew from Scotts Geophysics whom have been retained to conduct a combined ground magnetometer/VLF-EM survey. This survey is aimed at finding important structural controls to mineralization. This will represent the first geophysical survey ever completed on the Brett property. Epithermal gold mineralization on the Brett property is controlled by steep fault zones that are hosted within a sequence of variably magnetic Eocene volcanics. Fault zones can be identified as weak to moderate conductors by VLF-EM geophysics, because of the presence of broken rocks, clay gouge, and water along the faults. Gold mineralization is associated with clay and silica alteration within the volcanic host rocks. These alteration events destroy the primary magnetite in the volcanic rocks, and can be identified by ground geophysics as zones of low magnetic response along fault zones.
The field crew being mobilized will be focused on detailed geological mapping and re-logging select historic drill core to better understand zonation in the mineralizing system. Property-wide prospecting and rock sampling will be done to follow-up multiple high-quality geochemical (soil and rock) anomalies. Once this phase is completed, the company will follow up with a Diamond Drilling program (see news release dated February 27, 2014).
The Brett Gold Project consists of 2700 hectares situated in the North Okanagan region of Southwest British Columbia approximately 29 kilometers West of Vernon.
Key Highlights …
- Surface bulk sample 291 Ton's processed at Trail recov'd avg 27.74 g/t Au & 63.7 g/t Ag
- Approx $750,000 in work conducted on the property in the last 10 years.
- Excellent infrastructure and access along well maintained paved and gravel roads.
- Additional staking has increased the property to 2700 hectares
- Previous work include 10,000 M of Diamond Drilling, 2800 M's of RC Drilling
- 100's of M underground workings and two bulk samples
- Most of the work to-date has been done on the main Shear zone traced over 1300 meters
- Three Gold bearing shear zones, but indications may be 15-20 traced at surface
- Prior to 43-101 several drill indicated resources calculations estimated
- Since custom milling opportunities exist in the district, the Brett property does not necessarily need to support a stand-alone mine/mill operation to be viable.
- Property hosts epithermal style gold mineralization containing coarse gold and has excellent potential of hosting an economically viable gold deposit.
The geology, alteration and mineralization found on the Brett property is very similar to the Republic gold mining camp located just across the US border in upper Washington State, where several 1 million + ounce deposits have been mined or are being developed within that camp.
Exploration work carried out on the Brett Property previous to Ximen's involvement has confirmed the presence of a number of significant gold bearing mineralized zones associated with northerly trending altered shear/fracture zone(s). Previous work, summarized in a 43-101 report dated April 21, 2004, consisted of geochemical surveys, trenching, 10,000 meters (m) (32,900 feet) of diamond drilling, 2,800 meters (9,300 feet) of reverse circulation drilling, and 459 meters (1506 feet) of underground development.
The majority of work has been concentrated in a small area (200 m strike and 76 meters depth) of the property, along what is known as the Main Shear Zone- RW vein. One hole drilled on the property, Hole 93-19, a reverse circulation hole, returned an intersection of 16.76 m grading 35.79 gms Au/tonne (1.045 oz Au/ton) including 3.048 m grading 57.88 grams Au/tonne (1.69 oz Au/ton) and 4.57 m grading 107.88 gms Au/tonne (3.15 oz Au/ton) within the Main Shear Zone.
In 1996 a (291 tonne) bulk sample, from the RW vein and Main Shear Zone, was shipped to Trail and returned an average grade 27.74 gms Au/tonne and 63.7 gms Ag /tonne. Work was stopped in late 1996 and the property was tied up in litigation for several years.
To date, the Main Shear Zone has been traced for a strike length of over 1300 meters and down dip to a depth of 150 meters (possibly as deep as 500 meters, based on a single hole drilled on the neighboring property) and is wide open in all directions. In addition to the Main Shear Zone, the local geology and geochemistry indicates excellent exploration potential for developing other mineralized zones. Gold mineralization on the property appears to be a strongly related to the intersections between flat lying inter unit polymictic tuffaceous horizons and the northerly trending altered shear/fracture zone(s).
Based on the review of all available data, combined with information gained from a property inspection, the Brett property hosts epithermal bonanza style gold mineralization containing coarse gold and has excellent potential of hosting an economically viable gold deposit.
The soil geochemistry, which was a highlight of the 2004 program, consisted of 4,659 soil samples at 25 meter intervals on lines 100 meters apart. The survey totaled 144 line kilometers covering an area of approximately 15 square kilometers. Results indicate extensive gold anomalies cover a central portion of the area to the northeast of the main work area. Five values in excess of 500 ppb Au (0.5 grams) and another 15 were over 100 ppb Au (0.1 gms). These are considered extremely anomalous samples. One chip sample taken in an outcrop two meters away from a 41 ppb soil anomaly assayed 0.288 oz Au/ton indicating a good correlation between soil geochemistry and gold mineralization. Overall the soil geochemistry appears to indicate gold mineralization covering an unexplored area 1 kilometer wide and 2.5 kilometer long, trending northeast.

People are often advised they should love a piece of furniture because they're going to have to "see it every day," but nowhere is this truer than when standing in the bathroom, gazing blearily into the mirror. Bathroom mirrors should be beautiful if only because it's so easy to hate them, especially in the morning.
A bathroom mirror is made by adding a reflective coating to glass, and its quality will be determined by the glass's purity, thickness, flatness and the type of coating used to turn it into a mirror.
High-quality bathroom mirrors are generally made of thicker glass. Bathroom mirrors come in 1/8-, 3/16- and ¼-in. thicknesses, and the thickest glass will produce the least amount of distortion, even if the wall is not truly flat (which is often the case). That said, beautiful and reliable bathroom mirrors come in slimmer models and have the added benefit of being easier to hang.
There is no real rule as to how big or small a bathroom mirror should be. Some people like the mirror to be wide enough to align with the vanity; others prefer smaller pieces. Similarly, there are no rules as to whether a bathroom should have a vertically or horizontally oriented mirror. If the frame design does not dictate position, a mirror may be hung either way. It's a matter of taste and what best complements the available space.

A rectangle – whether horizontal or vertical – is by far the most popular shape for a bathroom mirror, but it is by no means the only one. Circles, squares, ovals, arches and mirrors with beveled edges are also available. (Keep in mind, though, that most cabinet mirrors come in the vertical variety.)
Of course, the shape of the mirror is only the beginning. Mirrors can be purchased unadorned, but a lot of people like them seated in jazzy frames cast in all manner of materials. There are iron art-deco frames, modern oak frames, traditional chestnut frames … whatever will best soothe the nerves when morning hair makes its first appearance.

Phylodendron is an application for drawing phylogenetic trees, used in evolutionary
biology. It will read tree data in New Hampshire (Newick) format, then display
graphical views of the phylogenetic tree. Various options allow you to modify,
adorn and edit the tree. Standard application functions to save, print, edit and
manage preferences are included. This program will not estimate nor produce the
tree data. For that, software such as Phylip, Clustal W, and others may be used.
Phylodendron is available at
Phylodendron is written as a Java application. This means that it will run on most personal computers and workstations as a standard program. This application is an enhancement of the Mac Hypercard program "Tree Draw Deck" released by the author in 1990.
One problem in using this program is that Java is still in preliminary stages. You
currently must fetch and install a Java runtime system to use it. This can be obtained
freely on the Internet. See for example
Developers will find the source code in the iubio:/molbio/java/source folders. These files are not needed for running the program. Phylodendron is built on the beginnings of an application framework for Java, which may make it easier to develop new applications.
Phylodendron is available over the Internet at
Macintosh users will find these files in the archive file phylodendron.hqx. MSWindows users will find program files in the archive file phylodendron.zip. Unix and others will find just the program files in the archive file phylodendron.tar.gz. You likely will need to fetch (see below) and install the Java runtime for your system. Newer operating systems (MacOS 8, Warp, Solaris 2.6) include java runtime systems; though you may want to update them to current versions.
As I've learned with other multi-platform applications that I make available to the bioscience community, there are difficulties involved in the time it takes me to update multiple archives for different computer systesm. The simplest way for me to distribute and update this software is to provide it as separate files, e.g., the pictures and documents and p-code files, and to update each one individually as needed. For example, I update this document after I've already produced some of the archive files. So I will also provide the most current version of this software in its un-archived form. You may find the most current versions by looking in the all systems/ folder. Within that, the folder called local/ has those items specific to each computer system. With a bit more programming effort, I hope to have the application do some of its own updating as needed (see below Updates).
This current release is based on the Java Developer Kit 1.0.2. To run it, you should
have installed the runtime compatible with JKD1.0.2. This can be found through
Javasoft, and at various mirror sites around the world.
For Java runtimes for various operating systems, see
A newer Java version, 1.1, became available in 1997. I will provide an update to this program with this new Java version, perhaps by the start of 1998. For now, Java version 1.0.2/1.0.3 runtimes are needed to run the application.
1. Keep in the same folder whereever you prefer, the application Phylodendron, the TreeApp.jcode Java class archive, and the data folder.
2. Use the MRJ installer from Apple Computer to install this Java runtime software. If you have MacOS 8, this is included as part of the OS. However, at the first release of MacOS 8, the MRJ included is an early, slower version. You should upgrade to the MRJ 1.5 release.
3. Put the contents of "->System/Extensions" into System Folder:Extensions:
4.Install the Internet Config application, if you don't have it. MacOS 8 includes this program. This free, widely used program enables links among Internet aware applications. This application uses it to call others like Netscape to open network links and the help document.
1. Keep in the same folder whereever you prefer, the program batch file TREEAPP.BAT, the Phylodendron.jcode Java class archive, and the data folder.
2. Install a Java Runtime system for MS Windows. Install it in a standard location,
which will be entered in the TREEAPP.BAT file. A recommended Java runtime is
found at http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.0.2/installation-win32-x86.html
You may want to install this in the same folder as you store SeqPup (and other java
applications). Or you may want to install this in a general MSWindows folder,
perhaps C:\WINDOWS\JAVA. I don't know of a prefered location yet on MS
Window systems for Java runtime files. You will need to edit the batch file (step 3)
to account for this location.
3. Edit the TREEAPP.BAT file to make the path names match the file locations on your computer.
set base=\temp\java
set appclass=%BASE%\treeapp\TreeApp.jcode
set java=%BASE%\java
The distribution zip archive containes application files in the path \TEMP\JAVA\treeapp\ and Java runtime files in the path \TEMP\JAVA\java\. If you unzip it with those names preserved, then you shoud be able to run the program from the batch file TREEAPP.BAT.
For the application to link properly to Netscape or other Internet browser, you may
need to edit the preferences file. You can do this from within the application; see the
Options/Edit Framework ... Menu. Or you can edit the file dclap.ini which will be
created in the \java\ folder. In either case, you want to enter the variable name
user.openurl= then the full path to your browser to be sure that it works properly.
This path may well be the same on your system as mine, which is as follows. Note the
quote marks (due to space in name) and the double backslashes \\ which are required
to insert one \.
user.openurl="C:\\Program Files\\Netscape\\Navigator\\Program\\netscape.exe"
If you use the Edit prefs menu, after editing close the window. You should be prompted to save changes; do so.
For Sun Solaris computers (SPARC and Intel):
For IBM Warp on Intel, IBM AIX, and MS Windows 3.1 computers:
For DEC Digital Unix computers:
For various Linux on Intel systems:
For Silicon Graphics IRIX computers:
SGI has hidden their Java runtime version 1.0.2. Sorry.
contact SGI for more details at http://www.sgi.com/
Whatever runtime system you install, it must be called with the TreeApp.jcode file. See the file treeapp which is a small shell script to do this on Unix. Edit that to suit your system needs.
You need to define the user.openurl= variable to find your Netscape or equivalent. You can do this from within the application; see the Options/Edit basic prefs... Menu. Or edit the file ~/.dclaprc directly to enter such a line. The variable line for my unix system is
Also, you might instead use a shell script (like the "netscape.sh" included). If you rename that to netscape, edit it to suit, and put in the folder with TreeApp.jcode file, it may take the place of editing the preference file.
Currently Java 1.0.3 does not understand printing (a slight oversight due to the Xwindow history of Java). The current Print command just sends postscript of a drawing to the user.print file.
Joe Felsenstein has provided for many years the excellent phylogenetic analysis package PHYLIP that most of you are likely familiar with. While most of the applications in this package don't require any fancy user-interface, the drawing programs DRAWTREE and DRAWGRAM were, to my mind, just begging for a better user interface for Macintosh users to see and print trees. In 1990, I took Joe's code and stuffed it into a Mac Hypercard application within a few weekends, producing Tree Draw Deck.
This Hypercard version proved useful to people, but wasn't a complete drawing application. It had shortcomings in saving and editing files. An attempt of mine to overcome this a few years later wasn't successful. With enough time..., but I was fighting Hypercard's limitations then.
One of the very nice features of Hypercard is that one can put easy-to-use faces onto programs quickly. Since the decline of Hypercard and Macintoshes, I've missed this form of rapid application development, and haven't yet found an equivalent. With some more work, I hope that Java can take its place. Those of you who have seen Tree Draw Deck should note similarities with the "About Phylodendron" window.
I do have high hopes now for Java as an Internet Hypercard. Phylodendron, and its companion test app LoopDloop [java], gave me a feeling that Java is ready for complex application development, and it has the potential for rapid application development with a good app framework. The two programs I have now in it are both small, MacDraw style scientific drawing apps. They share about 60 - 70% of their code. Improvements in one will lead to improvements in the other in many cases, and that also will hold for future applications written to this framework. I hope to provide at least one application for the FlyBase drosophila database and at some point a version of the sequence analysis application SeqPup in this Java framework.
This framework,dubiously named DCLAP, was started with the NCBI toolkit, a cross
platform C toolkit on which Entrez, Sequin and other apps from NCBI are written (thank
you Jonathan Kans and colleages at NCBI for this wonderful, free toolkit). On top of this
toolkit I wrote a C++ framework which is meant to handle much of the basic application
chores such as document opening, saving, doc and window management, menu and
command management, etc. With the advent of Java as a C++-like language that has
broad support and funding of tools from the commercial sector, but which also is available in
free form at its basics, it looked like a good underpining for rapid, cross-platform app
development. However, neither NCBI toolkit nor Java nor other sources provide the kind of
application framework freely that makes it quick and easy to produce robust, easy to use,
full featured applications for the biosciences. As I write new applications, I aim at
improving such a framework so that the next application can be written more quickly than
the last. The source code for this framework, in C++ and now its beginnings in Java, is
available freely to others for scientific application development. The current Java version
of DCLAP is preliminary, and will change significantly when converted to JDK version 1.1,
and has a ways to go for being a good app framework. However I find it now very helpful in
producing new applications, and hope that other programmers may also find it useful.
Developers will find the source code for this application and others in the iubio:/molbio/java/source folders.
Searching for a name for an application is always a chore for programmers. A memorable name and cute icons are de rigueur for successful software these days; functionality can be secondary. I didn't want another variation on treedraw, drawtree, treetool, etc. Phylodendron just struck me as a natural for this sort of software. The cute icon was modelled by a pretty Philodendron plant here. The working name has been TreeApp; you will find that name used some places (e.g., the TreeApp.zip file).
Both of these options, and the help command, link through an accessory program for opening URLs (Internet universal resource locators). Typically this accessory will be Netscape or the like software. In order to use this accessory program properly, it must be configured on your computer.
For Macintosh users, this involves installing Internet Config, a small free program used
by many other Internet applications. Internet Config must be installed on your system,
and you need to configure it to specify Helpers for at least the following protocols: ftp, file,
http, mailto.
These helpers may all be Netscape.
For Unix users, this involves setting the preference called "user.openurl" to the proper path to reach Netscape or other Internet applications. See also the small shell script that can be used to customize this function.
For MsWindows users, this also involves setting the preference called "user.openurl" to the proper path to reach Netscape or other Internet applications.
shift a node within a tree. This tool lets you change node positions at the same branching level. This changes the overall format of the tree without affecting the meaning of the dendrogram. When you select this tool, use the mouse to select a node first, then drag that node toward other nodes. While you drag, a rectangle will hilight to show which other nodes are at the same level and capable of interchange with the selected node. Node shifting for unrooted trees uses a smaller highlit box than for rooted. For rooted trees, you may use a shift-key plus this tool to have the smaller highlit box and avoid some node conflicts.
resize an object. Use the mouse cursor after selecting this tool to frame the rectangle which will contain the tree. The tree will be drawn to fit that rectangle.
Tree diagram -- draws an unrooted tree diagram.
Cladogram -- nodes are connected to other nodes and to tips by straight lines going directly from one to the other. This gives a V-shaped appearance.
Phenogram -- nodes are connected to other nodes and to other tips by a horizontal and then a vertical line. This gives a particularly precise idea of horizontal levels.
Curvogram -- nodes are connected to other nodes and to tips by a curve which is one fourth of an ellipse, starting out horizontally and then curving upwards to become vertical. This pattern was suggested by Joan Rudd.
Eurogram -- so-called because it is a version of cladogram diagram popular in Europe (name courtesy of David Maddison). Nodes are connected to other nodes and to tips by a diagonal line that goes outward and goes at most one-third of the way up to the next node, then turns sharply straight upwards and is vertical. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to guarantee, when branch lengths are used, that the angles of divergence of lines are the same.
Swoopogram -- this option (suggested by James Archie), connects two nodes or a node and a tip using two curves that are actually each one-quarter of an ellipse. The first part starts out vertical and then bends over to become horizontal. The second part, which is at least two-thirds of the total, starts out horizontal and then bends up to become vertical. The effect is that two lineages split apart gradually, then more rapidly, then both turn upwards.
Regular - will make an unrooted tree have regular angles. This will make the lines vertical if they are close to vertical, horizontal if they are close to horizontal, 45 degrees if they are close to that, and so on.
Use node lengths - if a tree has branch lengths, these may be use to specify the length of each node, or not.
Intermediate places a node halfway between its immediate descendants.
Weighted places it closer to that descendant who is closer vertically as well.
Centered centers the node below the horizontal positions of the tips that are descended from that node.
V-shaped is designed to yield a v-shaped tree of regular appearance,, if there are no branch lengths being used. With branch lengths it will not necessarily do so.
Innermost chooses a center for the tree, and always places interior nodes below the innermost of their immediate descendants. This leads to a tree that has vertical lines in the center, like a tree with a trunk.
Adornments -
Circle - append a circle to the node.
Box - append a box to the node.
Hide - make invisible the node, and all descendant nodes.
Fill symbol - fill the circle or box
No label - don't draw a label for this node.
Future releases may offer more node adornment symbols.
Font style - choose the font, font size, font face, and color for selected nodes. Currently the color also is applied to branch lines and adornments as well as font [future releases may separate this].
Show node comments - display any comment field associated with a node. Comments are entered in a tree file in [brackets].
Number inner nodes - put a number beside each inner node.
The New Hampshire Standard for representing trees in computer-readable form makes use of the correspondence between trees and nested parentheses, noticed in 1857 by the famous English mathematician Arthur Cayley. If we have this rooted tree:
A D \ E / \ C / / \ ! / / \ ! / / B \ ! / / \ o / \ ! / \ ! / \ ! / \ ! / \! / o ! !
The tree ends with a semicolon. Everything after the semicolon in the input file is ignored, including any other trees. The bottommost node in the tree is an interior node, not a tip. Interior nodes are represented by a pair of matched parentheses. Between them are representations of the nodes that are immediately descended from that node, separated by commas. In the above tree, the immediate descendants are B, another interior node, and D. The other interior node is represented by a pair of parentheses, enclosing representations of its immediate descendants, A, C, and E.
Tips are represented by their names. A name can be any string of printable characters except blanks, colons, semicolons, parentheses, and square brackets. In the programs a maximum of 30 characters are allowed for names: this limit can easily be increased by recompiling the program and changing the CONSTant declaration for "nch" at the beginning of the program. Trees can have 300 nodes (including tips), this is controlled by the CONSTant "maxnodes" and can also be changed.
Because you may want to include a blank in a name, it is assumed that an underscore character ("_") stands for a blank; any of these in a name will be converted to a blank when it is read in. Any name may also be empty: a tree like
is allowed. Trees can be multifurcating at any level (while in many of the programs multifurcations of user-defined trees are not allowed or restricted to a trifurcation at the bottommost level, these programs do make any such restriction).
Branch lengths can be incorporated into a tree by putting a real number, with or without
decimal point, after a node and preceded by a comma. This represents the length of the
branch immediately below that node. Thus the above tree might have lengths represented
These programs will be able to make use of this information only if lengths exist for every branch, except the one at the bottom of the tree.
The tree starts on the first line of the file, and can continue to subsequent lines. It is best to proceed to a new line, if at all, immediately after a comma. Blanks can be inserted at any point except in the middle of a species name or a branch length.
The above description is of a subset of the New Hampshire Standard. For example, interior nodes can have names in that standard, but if any are included the present programs will omit them.
To help you understand this tree representation, here are some trees in the above form:
The New Hampshire Standard was adopted June 26, 1986 by an informal committee meeting during the Society for the Study of Evolution meetings in Durham, New Hampshire and consisting of James Archie, William H.E. Day, Wayne Maddison, Christopher Meacham, F. James Rohlf, David Swofford, and myself.
DRAWTREE and DRAWGRAM are interactive tree-plotting programs that take a tree description and read it. DRAWTREE plots unrooted trees and DRAWGRAM plots rooted cladograms and phenograms. These programs are descended from PLOTGRAM and PLOTREE written by Christopher Meacham. I have incorporated his code for fonts and his plotter drivers, and in DRAWTREE have used some of his code for drawing unrooted trees. In both programs I have also included some plotter driver code by David Swofford, Julian Humphries and George D.F. "Buz" Wilson, to all of whom I am very grateful. Mostly, however, they consist of my own code.

You're replying to a comment by chad.
The code was just a snippet of some other code I have, but in regards to your points:
1. There are only 3 points where errors can creep in that I see:
1- if the urlopen fails or
2- during the htmlparser() if the html is super-malformed (same w/ BeautifulSoup).
3- if google changes their html format(but that will screw up almost any scraper)
The xpath and rest of the code will be work without problem since xpath will return '[]' if the xpath fails.
4. If you change the line:
then lxml handles malformed html almost as well as BeautifulSoup.
Anyways, I enjoy your blog, and just thought that I'd throw that out there.

Top Gun (US - HD)
Scott McKenzie suddenly has the urge to take off his shirt and play volleyball...
This is where I usually kick off a review with a paragraph about the plot of the movie, but come on, you've all seen Top Gun already, haven't you? If not, why not? I realise my analysis of this movie could very easily have been written up as a guilty pleasures article rather than a proper review, but I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of in admitting my appreciation of this movie. So why is Top Gun still well-loved more than twenty years on, especially when mentioned in the same breath as other testosterone-fuelled action movies of the 80s like Die Hard and Predator?
Before the Cruiser appears on screen, it's clear that this movie has a purpose to serve other than making him look good. In order to get the aircraft footage they needed, the producers made sure the Navy was portrayed favourably and the opening credits sequence is spent making the staff working on an aircraft carrier look very cool at sunset (this is a Jerry Bruckheimer movie after all). You don't have to be an eagle-eyed viewer either to catch the posters dotted throughout the movie encouraging American viewers to join the Navy. According to IMDb, the US Navy even set up recruiting booths at cinemas that were showing the movie and significantly increased their volume of applications.
This is the movie that turned Tom Cruise from the promising young actor in Risky Business and All The Right Moves into the ultra-megastar he is today. It's no surprise either, because his performance as Maverick is larger than life and Goose's death (don't complain about the spoiler, I already told you that you should have seen it!) gives him the chance to do some proper acting. Of course, we still have the Cruiser grin to deal with but that's the price you have to pay. It's also no surprise that other members of the cast went on to bigger and better things, with welcome early appearances from Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan. Tim Robbins is listed on the credits, but blink and you'll miss him at the end of the movie.
The actors aside, the main reason to watch Top Gun is for the well-filmed and still-exciting flying sequences, especially the final showdown between the graduates of the Top Gun academy and those damn Russkies in their MiGs. If Top Gun was made now, it's more than likely that the filmmakers would have decided to go for CGI to save them time and effort on the dogfight sequences, so it's all the more impressive to see this action without any digital 'enhancements'. It's also good to go back to one of Tony Scott's early movies to see him developing his signatures that we've become used to in his movies, with slow motion, sunsets and blue love scenes to name a few.
I can't review Top Gun without addressing the subject of homoeroticism, which has gained more weight since Quentin Tarantino's speech in Sleep with Me. Watching Top Gun with this in mind does make the viewer analyse the on-screen action, especially the toing and froing between Maverick and Val Kilmer's Iceman. Even though 'wingman' has become a term related to male bonding as a result of this movie, here is could be construed as something different. Whether this is a genuine intended subtext or just the result of looking for something that isn't there, it makes Top Gun all the more interesting to watch, especially if there's a group of you looking out for these moments.
Top Gun is presented in 1080p at 2.35:1 and unless you caught it at the cinema in 1986, you won't have seen the movie looking this good. There is great detail and predictably the flying sequences are the most impressive and nothing is lost in the fast camera movements. Colours are very strong, with the bright blue of the sea and sky filling up most of the screen at times and you should definitely try to watch this movie on the biggest screen you can find. However, the picture isn't quite perfect, with occasional patches of grain but nothing so bad that it would ruin what is otherwise an excellent picture.
There are three English audio options available here: 5.1 TrueHD, 6.1 DTS-ES and 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus. I went for the TrueHD option and was very impressed. With a movie over twenty years old, there's always a danger that the print has been left to rot and revisiting it for high definition may be a bit of a letdown ( Wall Street is a prime example), but the transfer seems to have come from the master used for Paramount's cleaned-up 2005 special edition DVD. If I have any complaints, it's that the dialogue is a little quiet compared with the rest of the soundtrack, but this is a very minor nitpick. This is a loud movie and there's great use of directional sound to complement the action. Planes and missiles will be flying round the speakers in your living room, but your neighbours might just complain about the volume of Kenny Loggins blasting through your surround system.
Move along, no extras to see here.
Top Gun may be a product of its time, but it's still an entertaining and exciting movie that should be part of any action fan's movie collection. The movie looks and sounds amazing in this release, but the lack of any extras, even the contents of the 2005 special edition, makes me suspect the team at Paramount knew they'd have to put another release together somewhere down the line. If you can't wait for the eventual Blu-ray release, you should be able to pick up this HD DVD release on the cheap now that the format is on its way out.

Ike Azotam scored 21 points, Jamee Jackson and Zaid Hearst each added 17 and Quinnipiac survived a dominant performance by Lamont "Momo" Jones to beat Iona 98-92 in overtime in the Paradise Jam on Friday night.
Jones, who matched a career high for the Gaels (1-1) with 40 points, hit a 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 79. Hearst missed an 18-footer, sending the game to overtime.
But Quinnipiac (2-1) scored the first six points in the extra session and never again trailed.
The Bobcats' win sets up an all-Connecticut winner's bracket semifinals on Sunday night, when Quinnipiac will face No. 23 Connecticut. The Huskies beat Wake Forest 77-71 earlier on Friday.
Quinnipiac coach Tom Moore was an assistant for 13 years at UConn under former coach Jim Calhoun before taking over the Bobcats in 2007.

Google is a treasure trove full of important information, especially for the underground world. This Potential fact can also be utilized in the data for the username and password stored on a server.
If the administrator save important data not in the complete system authentifikasi folder, then most likely be reached by the google search engine. If data is successfully steal in by the unauthorized person, then the will be in misuse.
Here, some google search syntax to crawl the password:
1. "Login: *" "password =*" filetype: xls (searching data command to the system files that are stored in Microsoft Excel)
2. allinurl: auth_user_file.txt (to find files auth_user_file.txt containing password on server).
3. filetype: xls inurl: "password.xls" (looking for username and password in ms excel format). This command can change with admin.xls)
4. intitle: login password (get link to the login page with the login words on the title and password words anywhere. If you want to the query index more pages, type allintitle)
5. intitle: "Index of" master.passwd (index the master password page)
6. index of / backup (will search the index backup file on server)
7. intitle: index.of people.lst (will find web pages that contain user list).
8. intitle: index.of passwd.bak ( will search the index backup password files)
9. intitle: "Index of" pwd.db (searching database password files).
10. intitle: "Index of .. etc" passwd (this command will index the password sequence page).
11. index.of passlist.txt (will load the page containing password list in the clear text format).
12. index.of.secret (google will bring on the page contains confidential document). This syntax also changed with government query site: gov to search for government secret files, including password data) or use syntax: index.of.private
13. filetype: xls username password email (will find spreadsheets filese containing a list of username and password).
14. "# PhpMyAdmin MySQL-Dump" filetype: txt (will index the page containing sensitive data administration that build with php)
15. inurl: ipsec.secrets-history-bugs (contains confidential data that have only by the super user). or order with inurl: ipsec.secrets "holds shared secrets"
16. inurl: ipsec.conf-intitle: manpage (useful to find files containing important data for hacking)
17. inurl: "wvdial.conf" intext: "password" (display the dialup connection that contain phone number, username and password)
18. inurl: "user.xls" intext: "password" (showing url that save username and passwords in spread sheet files)
19. filetype: ldb admin (web server will look for the store password in a database that dos not delete by googledork)
20.inurl: search / admin.php (will look for php web page for admin login). If you are lucky, you will find admin configuration page to create a new user.
21. inurl: password.log filetype:log (this keyword is to search for log files in a specific url)
22. filetype: reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER username (this keyword used to look for reg files (registyry) to the path HCU (Hkey_Current_User))
In fact, there are many more commands that google can crawl in use in the password. One who has the ability google reveals in this case is http://johnny.ihackstuff.com. For that, visit the web to add insight about the google ability.
Here, some of the other syntax google that we need to look for confidential data :
"Http://username: password @ www ..." filetype: bak inurl: "htaccess | passwd | shadow | ht users"
(this command is to take the user names and passwords for backup files)
filetype:mdb inurl:"account|users|admin|administrators|passwd|password" mdb files (this command is to take the password information)
filetype:ini ws_ftp pwd (searching admin password with ws_ftp.ini file)
intitle: "Index of" pwd.db (searching the encrypted usernames and passwords)
inurl:admin inurl:backup intitle:index.of (searching directories whose names contain the words admin and backup)
"Index of/" "Parent Directory" "WS _ FTP.ini" filetype:ini WS _ FTP PWD(WS_FTP configuration files is to take FTP server access passwords)

Rollin around town
Dig the rack? It's a chrome-plated mini front rack with struts that attach at the axle (drilled for track axles, too). I like that there isn't a need for any mid-fork mounts or eyelets; I was able to take a classy looking rack and install it on a track fork in five minutes. The box was installed with a box cutter and two bungee cords. Made my Saturday morning grocery run bag free. It is really pleasant, especially when it is warmer, to not have a bag on your back.
I thought this was a cool angle. The angular buildings in the foreground are a nice contrast to the big square buildings in the background (I guess the roof of the car is actually the foreground, but I am no student of photography. Just a camera-phoneographer.)
Out enjoying the pretty weather on my Double-Cross, fresh from the powdercoaters. Come cross season it will get some white striated tape, making the bike that much faster.

Love her or hate her, you've got to hand it to Kris Jenner for being one heck of a dynamic and hot-looking 57-year-old. The matriarch of the Kardashian clan, as you probably have heard, is about to launch her own talk show, Kris, with a test run on Fox stations in key markets beginning Monday, July 15. She tells AARP that one thing she'd really like to do with her show is give a boost to women who are upwards of 40. It makes her sad to see women "kind of give up on life" after a certain age.
"There's a lot of women that I know, once they hit 40 or 50, they start to get a little bit lazy about the way they take care of themselves. Some don't think that they're entitled to still have it all goin' on," she declared. And that, in Kris' world, is not cool. "When we let it go and we don't care about our appearance anymore, we don't care to look good for someone else, it definitely shows in our whole personality." On the other hand, "When you look good, you feel good about yourself and you present yourself to the world a different way … If my hair looks good one day, and I feel good about myself, it gives me a little extra spring in my step … It's empowering for women to feel their best."
Frankly, I was feeling more empowered by the minute. Such is the magnetism and uplifting quality of Jenner, the larger-than-life, much-derided Hollywood "momager" of the hour. The tyrannical diva of reputation was nowhere around when we spoke. Jenner came off down-to-earth and fun, and media savvy enough to tailor some remarks to fit a more mature audience. If her talk show persona is the same as she presented during our conversation, she just might have one of the rare winners in this perpetually overcrowded, high-casualty field.
And as for spring in her step, well, she obviously has tons. Right now, her new baby granddaughter, Nori, (better known as North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) has her in a state of bliss, because it's heaven when your baby has a baby, as she likes to say. Jenner is also deep into prepping for "Kris" – on which she'll feature a blend of pop culture and celebrity topics, health and fitness and other lifestyle matters – with visits by her famous family (excluding North) a certainty. The show premieres the 15th in New York, L.A., Minneapolis, Phoenix, Dallas and Charlotte, and on YouTube for everyone else. At the same time, she is filming next season's Keeping Up With the Kardashians. There's so much to do, she often gets up at 3 or 4 a.m. to get in a workout before starting her workday.
"I get excited to get up and get going in the morning and I have a lot going on and I'm lucky and blessed, but you know, I have a little help with the makeup team," she pointed out.

Johnathan Joseph is in denial.
That's the only logical explanation for his comments in the wake of his Texans falling to the Patriots in the AFC divisional round on Sunday. The cornerback not only can't believe his team lost, but he also thinks the Texans are still better than the Patriots, who earned themselves a date with the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game with Sunday's victory.
"Obviously we had the right guys in here to win 13 ballgames to get up to that point," Joseph told reporters Monday. "For whatever reason, we didn't advance. I still can't put that over because I think we were a better team. I think we just didn't make the plays at the right time."
Joseph, who joined Houston after spending his first five seasons in Cincinnati, is going to his second straight Pro Bowl. Yet despite the talent level of he and the rest of the Texans' secondary, Tom Brady and the potent New England offense torched Houston both during the regular season and during Sunday's playoff clash.
Regardless of the Patriots' dominance, though, Joseph can't come to grips with the notion that there's a big gap between the two teams.
"Just four or five plays. You take a few of those plays that they made and go the other way, it's a different ballgame," Joseph said.
Joseph acknowledged that the Texans had a special season, but you can bet Houston fans are no longer satisfied with simply making the playoffs. Neither is Joseph, and he referred to the Texans' inability to win the Super Bowl as "disappointing."

In 1985, Miles Davis shocked the music world by moving from Columbia to Warner Bros.. He immediately started working on an album called Perfect Way after a tune by Scritti Politti, later renamed Tutu by producer Tommy LiPuma. When Tutu (a tribute to Desmond Tutu) was released in 1986, it re-ignited Miles Davis' career, crossing over into the rock and pop markets and winning Davis two Grammy Awards - the album was a key factor in raising Davis' status to an international superstar. This deluxe edition includes: • The remastered album • A whole night's performance of the Miles Davis Octet of Nice's Jazz Festival of 1986 never available before • Liner notes by leading jazz writer Ashley Kahn, who interviewed Marcus Miller and Tommy LiPuma especially. • A lavish packaging in double digipack.
