The North Denver News - mailed to 14,117 homes in the West Highlands, Highlands, Sloan's Lake, Berkeley - reaching all of North Denver, EVERY MONTH. TO ADVERTISE 303.458.7541 Media Kit/Pricing/Ad Order
Im very happy with seventh position as this was the first time Id been to the Sachsenring. We struggled a bit on Friday and I personally found it a difficult circuit to learn - the track was also perhaps not that well suited to our Suzuki. I had a good start and tried to follow Valentino through the gaps he made round the first few corners we made up a few positions by doing that! After that I passed Sete Gibernau and then I was up behind John. He was going very fast but I managed to get past him at the end of the back straight and from then on I just stuck my head down and chased the front group. Our tyre dropped off a bit because we didnt have as much experience as other teams due to the fact that I had never been here before. I would like to thank the whole team for how hard they worked this weekend as I know it has not been easy to get everything right and the result is as much down to them as it is me!
John Hopkins:
Im not happy with 10th place but what can I say, this track has never been very kind to me before. I actually got a fairly average start but made good use of the first two turns, made up a few places and found myself close to the front group. I struggled to get the bike working well over the first couple of laps but once I got into a rhythm it felt quite comfortable. I was looking to hang on to Shinya and pull myself up to the top six. Unfortunately I wasnt able to do that. No excuses, I would have liked to have done better, but now my mind is firmly focused on Laguna next weekend. Congratulations to Chris on another good ride, great job!
Paul Denning Suzuki Team Manager:
We didnt quite get things nailed down as well as we would have liked to this weekend, but for both the Rizla Suzukis to finish in the top 10 and score valuable points was as good as we could have expected. Chris, on his first visit to Sachsenring, rode a fantastic race and his pace - until he lost a bit of grip - was not so far off the very best riders. I hope the result here today will give him good confidence before he goes to Laguna next weekend a track he has done very well at on a Superbike before.
John is disappointed with 10th but were a lot better off than we were 12 months ago here, when we left with a rake of injuries and no points! So, at least he is going to his home GP in California next weekend fighting fit and on a machine that should be well suited to the Laguna Seca circuit.
Bridgestone again made a fantastic effort this weekend, bringing a massive range of new compound groups. It took us a step closer, it wasnt quite enough, but we have to keep our heads down and focus on improving more over the next few races.
Shinya Nakano: 6th
"I was on the outside going into the first turn, and I could see everyone pushing up the inside, so I decided to stay wide to avoid any chance of a first corner crash. I tried to follow the leading riders through the turn, but I couldn't get back inside and I lost positions. At the start of the race I was having some problems carrying speed through the right-hand corners, which lost me time and meant I wasn't able to match the pace of the leading group. By the middle of the race I could still see the battle for the lead, but they were too far in front for me to close the gap, despite me setting my fastest lap while chasing them. At the end I thought I would be able to catch Loris for fifth place, but by the time I was close enough to think about a pass the race was over. After the problems we had with set-up during free practice I'm pretty happy with today's result, and it's good to be back in the top ten of the championship standings."
Randy de Puniet: DNF
"I lost some places at the start, but a bit of aggressive overtaking during the opening laps put me just behind Sete Gibernau and the battle for seventh place. I felt comfortable on the bike and I was starting to close the gap on the group in front of me, but then the bike just stopped and I had to retire. It's disappointing because I know a top ten finish was a possibility, but on a more positive note, I gained a lot of confidence in the bike today and this will stand me in good stead next week at Laguna Seca. Again, we need to put this behind us now and focus on the next race, which is just seven days away."
Harald Eckl: Team Principal
"We came to Sachsenring expecting better than sixth place in the race, and with conditions better suited to our bike today, and Shinya starting from fourth place on the grid, there was no reason for us to lower our expectations ahead of the race. But then both riders got a bad start, and places lost at the start are difficult to make up at Sachsenring, because there are not so many places to pass at this track. I think this is the main reason why we didn't meet our expectations today."

Video: Suspect in custody after 7 schools placed on lockdown
WASHINGTON, Mo. (KSDK) - Seven schools were on lockdown Tuesday afternoon in Washington, Missouri while police chased a man with a gun.
A deputy was trying to make a routine traffic stop when the driver sped away.
After a short pursuit, the man got out of his vehicle near Pottery and Deiner roads and ran into a wooded area.
The officer who was pursuing the man said the suspect was dressed in military fatigues and was carrying a long gun.
As a precaution, the Washington School District put all of their schools on lockdown around 12:30 p.m.
Two officers were stationed at Washington West Middle School since that was closest to where the suspect was last seen.
All students are safe, and the lockdown was implemented as a precaution.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident and has been identified as 24-year-old Derrick Howard, Jr.
An SKS rifle was found hidden in a tree in the area and was loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition.

Ruff Ruff! My name is Tiger
found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Other Pets at Shelter...
Tiger's Info...
Breed: | Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/Pit Bull Terrier Mix | Color: | Brindle - With White | Age: | Young |
Size: | Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg) | Sex: | Male | ID#: | 17897758 |
Tiger is a 1 y/o brindle terrier mix. With the eyes of a tiger, he will surely melt your heart! Tiger was someone's pet before, but he was surrendered when his humans had to move. He is a super fun and playful guy! He would be great for an active family that loves to take hikes. After a long hike, Tiger is exhausted and would just like to cuddle up and take a nap!
Tiger has shown us that he prefers to go potty outside, which may mean he's housetrained but could use a refresher when he goes to his forever home. He loves having his back scratched and he has shown eagerness to interact with other dogs and politely greets them! Tiger knows some cool tricks already, such as sit and drop-it! He also listens very well to corrections and is super smart, so further obedience training shouldn't be too difficult.
Tiger is part of the Pen Pal program which means he has his own special volunteer that spends time working with him to make him more adoptable! If you're interested in adopting or fostering Tiger or have any other questions, don't hesitate to email his PenPal Becca at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please bring any family dogs and children down to meet Tiger to make sure he'd be the perfect newest member of your family!

A significant return of average investors suggests a possible second leg to the four-year-old bull market – and if so, watch for 2013 to be a breakout year for Canadian IPOs. Of course, the warning would remain the same as it always has for IPO investors: caveat emptor.

at first i was hesitant if i really wanted to order this product on flip kart i took a chance and really happy with the service. hope they be the same in future too as am from Bangalore i got the product in 24 hrs that's nice..:-)
price of the product
price is worth the product. its simply awesome product for the price. felt bad when i saw the cost being reduced from 347 to 305 in just one day.
quality of sound.
great right left balance.
decent and clear base.
volume feel little less but still great.
effect worth it. it was awesome i tried virtual barbershop to test the effects were mind blowing.
comfortable ear cushions.
the person sitting next to u can hear the sound which is lil bad.
over all recommended product if u want to spend ur money on a decent product. its worth it
When I was about buy these headphones the only thing I thought that will they give the sound output I wish.And finally I ordered it.Got these in just 2 days.
- The build quality is good..though the wire is a bit delicate.
- The sound quality is pretty good...it is clear and the has good bass.
-Plus the headphones come from a big brand PHILIPS and that too at this price.
-The best thing about these headphones is that they are very comfortable even if used for long duration of time.
-Also the wire emerges only from one side of the headphones which makes it non-flimsy and easy to wear.
-It works with all kinds of mobiles which have 3.5 mm audio jack,computers,laptops,tablets,mp3 players,televisions etc.
-Its very stylish ,compact in size and can be usd by all age groups.
-Well these headphones will keep you with the trend and give you good sound output and yet not burden your pocket.
-It come with 1 Year warranty.
So I think you should order these headphones because you won't get such good headphones at this price.
Human doesn't satisfies , he want's more and more :)
As usual, Flipkart delivers at rocket speed and I think is the no.1 at that. Secondly, they are masters of packaging and makes sure that your product doesn't even get a scratch. I mean this time I was spellbound with the packaging, awesome.
Coming to the product, well the headsets are superlight and very very comfortable on your ears. I really liked the bass of the speakers. not to forget, they are very stylish and fits really well. Overall, the built quality is very good and as expected from a brand like Philips. Enjoying the music now!
And, price is just perfect. The cheapest deal you can get on this headphone all over the internet is at Flipkart. I could not find any site selling this for even under 400. Flipkart rocks!
Thanks flipkart for wonderful service. I am using flipkart for long and trust it fully. Hope you will keep on treating customer with same attitude and professionalism as you grow bigger and bigger.
About the product what I say .. Just Wow. I have tried lot of headphones/earphones and can tell you this thing matches even with Rs 1000 range products.
Whats Good in it
1) Amazing clarity in sound. You can listen even minute of the frequencies so clearly.
2) Bass is also really good
3) Its super Light
4) Surprisingly it works so well with my mp3 player too. I have this strange observation that PC headphone doesnât give same performance with mp3 players.
5) Only product which in my view could have competed with it is Panasonic RP-HT010, but I can tell you its at least 30% better then Panasonic on in all quality aspect.
What I didnât like
1) I personally donât like head back designs too much.
Overall guys if you are looking for headphone blindly go for it.
First of all Philips headphones are the once whom i'v been using since a long time & i trust Philips only..i have many music accessories of philips only...
now as far as headphones goes, they are jst what i needed.
i wanted good,stylish,affordable headphones. I looked for sennheiser too but the starter was not too good to buy..
These headphones r very comfortable & adequately wired to fit my need for laptop & to my sony walkman... wiring is very good they don't come in between ur work & work becomes very easy to do wearing them...
style's gr8...everyone will luk u when u pass by wearing these headphones(similar to Sony Walkman W series styling)...
Bass is also decent..dont expect boom bass but fits me cus i listen to a lot of metal & hardrock songs..
flipkart's service is as we expect fast & packaging is very nice a lot of bubble wrapping with air pouch for cushioning...
Bottomline: If u r looking for nice,affordable & stylish headphones,don't think twice go for it otherwise price increment will make u regret at d end of the day(i bought for 409 but saw 384 too..)...keep rocking...

Remember Me
Well what can we say about our lovely clients? Well firstly, we wouldn't be anywhere without them! That much is pretty clear. We cover different retail sectors, geographies, sizes and approaches.
One of the things that we try to do with all of our customers is try to recognize what it is that makes them unique, special and successful. In most cases, we contribute methods and ideas that help the retailers further develop the accuracy or sophistication of their operation.
It's also worth knowing at all of our clients run the same version of the application – no-one has any custom code written for them. Simple as that.
Whatever happens, try to make our clients happy.
So cheers to our client partners…

Last weekend's election in Taiwan booted out the ruling Nationalist Party, and sparked new fears that China might invade Taiwan. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge we'll analyze the touchy subject of Taiwan's independence. Also, the legacy of Mao. And a remarkable story of survival during the Cultural Revolution.
Ed Friedman is a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin with special expertise in China. He tells Judith Strasser about the political background of the recent presidential election in Taiwan and speculates on the possible future repercussions. Also, Jim Fleming talks with Philip Short who's written the definitive biography of Mae Zedong. It's called "Mao: A Life." Short says Mao wanted people to be free to think as long as they thought what he wanted them to think, and that Mao was politically adept and completely ruthless.SEGMENT 2:
Da Chen was a child during the Cultural Revolution. He tells Steve Paulson that he was persecuted for coming from a former land-owning family and survived by becoming a tough guy who hung out with hooligans. They became his family and loved the stories he read them. Eventually, Da Chen made it to America. His memoir is called "Colors of the Mountain."SEGMENT 3:
Karl Meyer and Shareen Brysac are the authors of "Tournament of Shadows: The Great Game and the Race for Empire in Central Asia." They tell Steve Paulson about some of the colorful characters - a veterinarian, a surgeon and some spiritualists - who played a role in the area during the 19th century, and describe what it's like to travel there today.Cassette copies are available at 1-800-747-7444.

had her believing it was always something that she'd done.
But I don't wanna live that way, and you shouldn't either. Kimbra is widely known for her American debut in the Gotye song Somebody That I Used To Know. Now, I am not here to debate whether the song is great or not; I personally love it and it has been on my top 25 played since I first saw the music video. I am here to tell you about why Kimbra is amazing and why you should think that, too.
Kimbra (also known as Kimbra Lee Johnson) is a New Zealand singer-songwriter-guitarist-musician. She is pretty great. She is mostly known for her jazzy, soul-filled sound. Now, first reactions to the word jazz are usually negative. Jazz? Nah, not my scene. But, somehow Kimbra transcends her own genre with her unique sounds and beautiful voice. She utilizes voice looping to literally make her voice the instrument in the background. It is absurdly awesome and sounds so much better than I am describing it here. She is fantastic! And honestly, whenever I hear pop-rock or I hear ear-shattering dubstep, I lose faith in music, and then I listen to artists like Kimbra and it comes right back. I feel as though she is ushering in a new era of beautiful music.
Kimbra hasn't been screwed over, but I feel as though her American debut should have been her own solo work. She is talented enough and famous enough to be on the radio just as Gotye was. Perhaps this will push radios to play more of her music more. One can only hope!
Hey Dale, I looked ahead and I saw videos. What is up with that?
Kimbra is amazing in herself, but the videos below are an entirely different tale. I'll let this article speak for itself, but I want to draw attention to some of the film aspects of these videos.
"The trilogy of videos Franklin has created for Kimbra are elaborate vignettes filled with precise choreography and tricky visual elements (burning plastic in Settle Down, confetti canons in Cameo Lover and extensive period costuming and set design in both Good Intent and Settle Down) that many novice directors—and even some with more experience—would try to steer clear of, but Franklin knew they were pivotal for communicating his star's songs.
"I remember, very specifically, that Kimbra had said that, by the [Cameo Lover] clip's end, it needed to feel "joyous". I went away, with this in mind, and came up with a story structure that felt engaging to watch and would allow us to build, bit by bit, to this climactic outro. All I can really say now is thank goodness we used the confetti! I think everyone was a little bit nervous about how the confetti would show up on camera, so we were very hesitant to use it… but, every rehearsal we had, Kimbra would ask, "Have you organised those confetti guns?" She seems to have a sixth sense, that girl…"
Sorry Emily, but these are the new jams of the week.
Comment below on which song is your favorite. Have a great rest of your week!

This is a wonderful comfort food dish. Lots of garlic, no meat for those who are vegetarians, and is simple to prepare.
Probably the best kale recipe I have found to date. But I am always looking. Because it is so good for you.
Recipe for Spaghetti with Braised Kale
Nutritionally, kale is a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties; kale is considered to be anti-inflammatory.
Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. Because of its high vitamin K content, patients taking anti-coagulants such as warfarin are encouraged to avoid this food since it increases the vitamin K concentration in the blood, which is what the drugs are often attempting to lower.
Kale, as with broccoli and other brassicas,(Kale or borecole is a form of cabbage (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group), contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced), a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties.

"Home of the Brave"
I wanted to invite your attention to a video series on AOL called "Home of the Brave" that has been filmed and prodeced by Sean Efran. This is a link to the episode on David Bellavia, an Infantryman who won the Silver Star during action in Iraq. http://on.aol.com/playlist/home-of-the-brave—full-series-144845?icid=bottom_related_thumb_1#_videoid=517410330 (may have to cut and paste if doesn't come through as a hotlink).

Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Love love love August and September.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013We'll be top after them first 6 games and stay there all season, deluded? I think not!!
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Will need to gain momentum from the early fixtures as Novemberr through to Christmas is not very pleasant!
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Reading will send us down.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Nice start to the season!
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013My dearest wish is to be safe by the final day and then beat Reading to send those slags down.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Great opportunity for a solid start!
End of November into December should be fun..
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013
Nope, we're going to send them down
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013We might need a few points on the board before the run from 3/11 until 8/12. Man City Stoke Chelsea Liverpool at home and Newcastle Spurs Man U away.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013
Where's your optimism?! 21 points definitely in the bag there!
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Well I've just done the old BBC predictor thing and have us winning the league by a considerable margin. Hooray
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Someone do one of them desktop background things
Quickly as well so i can look at them on my spare screen rather than be blatantly on the internet Cheers
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013August and September look good - chance for some decent points there, but this little lot worries me:
November 3 Man City (H) 10 Newcastle (A) 17 Stoke (H) 24 Tottenham (A) 27 Man Utd (A) December 1 Chelsea (H) 8 Liverpool (H) In all honesty, can we really only expect a result against Stoke in that list? Maybe a point from the Newcastle game?
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Fantastic start, I think it's vitally important that the first six games are all winnable. Gets us mentally going for the campaign ahead instead of thinking, well we may well pick up points in game 3, 6, 8 and so on. Competing from the start, love it!
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013On a side note, Blackpool away to Millwall on the opening day of the Championship.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013The first 9 are fairly close to ideal in terms of giving us a good chance of a solid start.
Newcastle and Spurs away plus Liverpool at home will probably be moved to Sundays due to their Europa league commitments - so I'd think Man Utd away will be moved to a Wednesday night.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013
You can expect what you like. I'll expect us to try and win every game. We are a different West Ham now. Away from home we will cause problems, at home teams will attack us...We are going to be a horrible side to play against this season. Enjoy it. We are going to kick some deluded established backsides.
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013Decent start and end to the season, big sam will need to create some proper tough discipline over the winter though. Very excited, we owe villa after the match that ultimately sent us down...
Re: Fixtures 2012 - 2013
We beat Liverpool and Stoke and drew with Spurs last time around. A lot of those are going to be tied up with midweek fixtures in Europe at that time too.

A day after being a healthy scratch against the Ottawa Senators, Capitals defenceman Roman Hamrlik had some choice words about head coach Dale Hunter on a Washington radio station on Thursday.
Hunter elected to keep Hamrlik out of the lineup because he felt that the 37-year-old defenceman 'took a bad penalty last game'. That game was Monday against the Hurricanes, where Hamrlik took an elbowing minor early in the first period that led to the first goal of the game. The goal eventually stood as the game-winner.
"You should ask him [Hunter] about penalties," Hamrlik told 106.7 The Fan Radio in Washington. "When he played I think he made lots of penalties himself, so he should know better."
Hamrlik, according to reports from RDS and from Washington media, is available with the NHL trade deadline looming on Monday. He is set to make $3.5 million next season.

is there any around??!!
Would you like to get all the new info from

Want to learn more about the team keeping you up to date with the latest scene news?
Read about them now! Check out our Developer bios, too! | ||
is there any around??!!
I know I try to give people information whenever I can, but I really don't appreciate receiving personal messages about something people have posted a thread about.
If you have made a thread asking a question, it's going to be answered eventually. No need to ask people individually.
Again, as dlanor said and as I replied to your PM.
By the way, this in no way means I discourage people from PMing me. It just means don't PM if you've started a thread since I tend to check new posts.
The PlayStation 2 is much more powerful than an N64. However, it is not powerful enough to emulator the N64 without really efficient coding. And even if somewhat is able to create an N64 emulator, the ps2 will most likely not be capale to run at native speed.
Agreed. The PS2 surely can run easily any N64 game, if they are converted, but running an emulator is a complete different history.
Maybe someday somebody will be able to find a way to "recompile" (much like dynamic recompiler in emulators) the whole game. But this would be a HUGE achievement, that I doubt it is even possible
on the bright side there is always project 64 and 1964 and others for the pc... or you could go out and buy a n64 and a few games for just a few bucks.
But there is an emulator for psp. I don't think that psp has more power than ps2.
If we're talking about pure mhz then propably yes but in a fact N64 never used more than half of its hardware resources so creating emulator should be possible with some programming. Just look how N64 games look compared to PSX ( which was much weaker when it comes to terms of hardware ) they can't be compared, unless we're talking about first PSX games.

Teens With Earbuds
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011When most adults see a teenager with earbuds in her ears, we assume she's bopping to a band with a name like Pink War Machine or Artichoke Not Be.
A chance conversation with a high school counselor offered a different view. Students turn out to be regular listeners to literary audiobooks, particularly "secondary writings of authors they encounter in English lit. classes."
After a midterm book report on Moby Dick, a kid might download Typee from the iTunes Store. After The Great Gatsby, maybe Tender Is The Night. Not for class credit, just for entertainment or enlightenment.
Why doesn't she buy or borrow a print copy or an e-book? Because she has to sit to read, but she can listen on-the-go. Other than pale, pudgy videogame addicts, American teens run, walk, ride and otherwise move around a lot.
The gender of our subject noun of isn't arbitrary. Our counselor friend sees iPod literature is mostly "a girl thing" in high school, but believes it becomes more gender-balanced in college.
Is there a useful marketing insight somewhere in this? We think so.
In our experience, more than a few advertising and marketing people see the teen audience as brain-dead zombies who require a loud noise and flash of light to get them to notice the dancing acne medicine package on the screen. If you watch a reel of teen-focused ads, this "Hey dummy!" tone often comes through. We think a lot of the kids are smart enough to be offended. Smarter than the marketers perhaps…

Sorry if this has come up before, I have trawled through many pages and can't seem to find the answer.
My sniper hits a unit in cover and declares the attached character as the target. Now, I know the character is part of a unit but since he has been targeted by the sniper (picked out) does he get the cover save (considering characters do not get them unless sharing it with a unit)?
Or, in other words, can characters ever get a cover save against the targeting skills/ability of the sniper?
Thanks in advance.

A hero (or character as you call them) attached to a squad gets a cover roll like any other trooper. It doesn't matter that it's a sniper singling him out, he's still attached to the squad.
Suck my Mickey
Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. That was the simplest way to look at it (which is more often the correct way of playing DUST) and the way I was leaning, but it was worth checking. Still hanging onto old habits from other systems where the rules are not so clear or 'water tight'. Like calling heroes characters for example…
Thanks once again.
Something disturbs me…
Does the Spotter ability can be use on the Sniper ability ?
So attack a squad, declare a miniature as target of a sniper, roll a dice and kill it on a "MISS" result ?
For Angela, does Frenzy works on the Sniper ability ?
(So it could be impressive to cumulate Frenzy + Spotter + Sniper on a hero enemy or any target in a squad that get a hard cover…)
Without Signature
The spotter is there to aid the sniper which is why they are a team and it works with Angela to.
Just to be sure, if, I well understand :
- With the Sniper ability, a HIT give directly one damage (and it can't be save by a cover save, only a damage resilient).
- With Spotter, Sniper give straight away one damage with a MISS.
- Angela with Frenzy + Sniper + Spotter can make many damages immediately with the reroll of the MISS values…
Without Signature
Not quite:
- The Sniper ability DOES NOT ignore cover. All it does is allow you to chose where to apply the damage that the target unit ends up taking.
- As above, Spotter is not a guaranteed damage, the target still gets to roll cover and damage resilient. Spotter considers blanks as hits, and hits as blanks.
- Correct, but the target still gets all of its save rolls, and she can't reroll against walkers.
And remember that this doesn't just work with Angela. You could pair the Chef with the Crack Shots' Spotter and be rolling 12 dice that hit on blanks (and do ignore cover).
Suck my Mickey
Thanks !
The ambiguity came from the description of the Sniper ability where it was said that Sniper inflict one damage on a HIT result.
So even that's not a direct damage, it's very powerful.

What about: 1. Breakfast at Elk Grove if you're not staying there? 2. Parking at Elk Grove if you're not staying there?
I emailed Ingy and he said he wasn't sure about the former (but was checking into it) and that there's plenty of free parking for those not staying there.

IMO if you aren't staying there you would probably prefer to spend your $20 elsewhere. It will be crowded with nowhere to sit and not a bargain, put it that way. There is a lot of parking at this hotel and since most folks will have arrived without cars, I don't think there will be a problem. Call the hotel if you have any concerns.
We have filled our contracted room blocks at both the main hotel and the overflow hotel. YOU CAN STILL BOOK ROOMS. It just means that since the overflow hotel is booking other guests (non-Seminar attendees), we have no way to be sure that it won't fill up. You can still book using the codes in post #2 and the terms are the same. Between the 2 hotels, there are about 458 rooms, but we don't have access to the booking data. We don't want people to wait too long without warning and be disappointed. Transportation to/from other area hotels may be difficult/expensive/slow if you don't have a car. 324 registrants now, and space for another 226.
355 registrants now, 195 to go to max capacity. 18 in the last 4 days, so the pace is picking up. gleff's Award Bookings seminar at 10 am Saturday has 278, so only 22 spots left. This one will be filled in a week or less I predict. Lucky's 1 pm Saturday SPG/UA session with Captain Denny is at 238 attendees, max 300. ORD has been seeing some good airfares of late. Don't wait too long!
Recent registrant! Super excited! Can't wait to meet others like me. Well, hopefully not exactly like me because then the world would be a scary place. As someone who is local, if you guys need help/volunteers, let me know. More than happy to pitch in.
I can't remember what seminars I signed up for. I found my email receipt for payment but I can't find the itinerary. Any ideas?
Login here: https://www.eventbrite.com/login Click Manage Order under Chicago Seminar and scroll down.. should be listed all there!
I'm told my award booking session is full. Highly suggest anyone on the fence sign up to get your choice of remaining sessions. Eg I'd imagine Captain Denny will be popular and a foreclosed option shortly.
Is there a current report of how full things are...and how firm is full, what if people don't show? Not booked yet and wondering if I waited too long to get into the sessions I might want.
Realized I was being silly...I have been wanting to go to this and have been finding excuses not to. Reservations made, flight booked. See you all there!
404 registrants now! We continue to get 2+ more a day, so with about 55 days remaining we have a shot at a sellout. Last year we sold all 550 spots, but about 70 failed to show. If you decide for sure that you cannot come, please let me know. This will affect our planning a bit. Thanks. Some stats: 2010 attendee?

I'm in, but too late for gleff's presentation on award bookings, it appears . It's OK, though, since I think I work just down the street from him and can drop by and pester him with questions without notice . Now just debating whether to stay with family or at the Sheraton across the street from the overflow hotel. Can someone comment on whether I'd be able to use the shuttle from the overflow to get to the host hotel if I stay at the Sheraton? Thanks! Also, in case anyone's interested, AA and B6 have $120 r/t ai flights available from NYC and BOS. Can't imagine these will last very long. Of course, nothing from WAS .
I'm not sure about the shuttle from overflow.. hopefully? I'm thinking of doing a little SPG hotel hopping for the two nights since I need the stays. I might just rent a car. We'll see!
Since the overflow hotel has met it's allotted block are we still obliged to book the hotel at the negotiated rate?
422 registrants now. Been getting about 5 more per day this week, so with about 50 days to go before the event, I surmise we will fill up. AA has some specials to/from Chicago, expiring midnight Sep. 8.

County considers $60 million in Mitchell International Airport improvements
Mitchell International Airport is planning a $41 million makeover of its aging and increasingly decrepit baggage claim area that would be financed with bonds issued by Milwaukee County and paid for with fees that airlines pay to use the airport.
The makeover would be included as part of an overall $60 million bond issue to pay for the improvements at Mitchell, which is owned and operated by Milwaukee County.
The County Board Finance, Personnel and Audit Committee has scheduled a public hearing, which is part of the approval process for issuing the bonds, at 9 a.m. Thursday. »Read Full Article(19)

Thread: Youth Rules for 2013
Hey thanks for that baseball link. Great illustration that change (evolution) starts with responsible adults
"It's not all about who is right, but what is right"
Coming from a u13 player. Why do you people feel that the heads need to be wider? I feel that the game right now is at its prime. I don't play with tons of hold and my head isn't pinched to where it's illegal. I think one of the best part of the sport is the customizability. Now you guys are trying to take it away? And some of the not as good players need hold and the head pinched to catch a pass and have ball handling to score and keep playing the game. And most kids will quit if they can't catch a pass or be able to cradle. If they don't like it they're going tell people that don't play it's not a fun sport and people won't play. And I know I want the sport to grow. So just leave the rules alone. They are fine how they are.
When I coached little kids, I allowed my players to use whatever length they could handle.
What they could handle was defined as the length they could extend beyond their hand and hold at arms length straight and steady for 30 seconds.
So a little pischer shows up at practice with a 72 inch longpole, and we'd have him hold the butt end and extend his arm and stick on a flat plane parallel to the ground. If he could hold the stick head steady at that plane for 30, he had the right stick. If it sagged or swung around, the stick was uncontrolable.
He could choke up as much as necessary, but we'd put a wrap of tape where his hand was when he could hold the stick steady and his dad would have to cut it at that point.
This is far from draconian. Kids with shafts longer than they can handle are lousy defensemen and worse stickhandlers. All they do is make accommodations that are actually bad habits that subsequent coaches have to deal with.
Nick, I appreciate the input. As an over 50 player, I agree that the game is just fine as it is, except my conclusion was drawn back in 1980.
Keep in mind that heads without a keyhole shape are easier to catch with, and those without loads of offset are easier to throw with. The keyhole shape and offset geometry are only popular because the ball rattles back into the pocket when a legal check is delivered to the stick.
All we are asking for is a stick geometry that does not encourage ball carriers to try to squirm through triple teams because the ball can't get checked out, and then we (as refs) can call illegal checks as the rule book defines them and thereby make the game (once again) one of poetic ball movement and easily policed checking.
Believe me, you'll love the game even more once the hair raising checks that are required of a contemporary defender striving to be a 'take away defender' are no more.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Online Interactivity for Educators: A Teacher's Tour of YouTube
September 25, 2006 | Chris O'NealAs computers and Internet access have become more ubiquitous, and the tech savviness of our nation's youth continues to rise, it only stands to reason that the online experience has begun to evolve drastically in the last few years. The Web is rapidly changing from being simply interactive to becoming more of a user-centric and user-guided experience. Web 2.0 technologies, open source software, and the tech expertise of our nation's youth have opened up a new world of online interactivity.
One exciting layer is the proliferation of video on the Internet. In a matter of minutes, anyone with a basic video camera and a high-speed connection can create, edit, upload, and share video with ease. This is a powerful tool, and to harness what it holds and turn it into something educational can be a thrill and a challenge.
The number of video-sharing sites is growing, and well-recognized names such as Google and Yahoo offer up video content and encourage viewers to upload their own. However, the hugely popular YouTube probably has the most videos (and buzz) to date. Ask any teenager, and you're sure to find that YouTube is one of his or her favorite destinations. One can find music videos, self-created talent auditions, vacation videos, vintage footage of sports events, and a smorgasbord of the odd and unpredictable. According to YouTube, each day, visitors view more than seventy million videos on the site.
So, what do these sites mean for educators? What might it offer classrooms? I spent several days browsing YouTube, and I found tons of fun things and lots of potentially beneficial classroom video clips, as well as the usual eye-opening experience when dealing with the world's population and the things people want to share.
If you're new to the site, search for a favorite musician, or a specific date, or even an old movie. There's everything from video footage of a 1940s school picnic to a frightening (and controversial) look at Hurricane Katrina issues. The most subscribed channel at YouTube is that of an English widower who muses on everything from growing up during World War II to his experiences during college.
One critical issue to keep in mind when sharing and discussing these videos with your students is media literacy, including general Internet reliability. Are the videos truly what they say they are? Might some of these clips violate copyright? What constitutes a "good" video?
My main concern in using any of these video-sharing sites is that what makes it so powerful is also what makes it a tricky tool to use with ease. There are great discussions and commentary on many of the video clips, but those discussions are, for the most part, completely unfiltered and only mildly moderated. However, using and showing YouTube clips, then having your own classroom discussion about the clips, is an incredibly robust classroom approach. Working with students to create and upload their own videos is an even more powerful application.
I think that taking advantage of the excitement this kind of technology brings to our children is a worthwhile endeavor. Children love to produce, and teaching them the skills to make good productions takes advantage of their interest and provides them with a wealth of skills. See the Edutopia article "Film School: Making Movies from Storyboard to Screen" for a look at the use of video in the classroom. In addition, weaving in good media literacy and skills for navigating the new waters of the Web helps us all.
One last note: To learn more about video sharing on the Web, see the USA Today article "Video websites pop up, invite postings," the Digital Video Guru site's comparison of ten video-sharing services, and RateItAll.com's Video Sharing and Download Sites page.
Share your thoughts on video sharing sites and the potential they hold for classrooms.

YouTube in the Classroom
This is a very good and valid point that I never considered until now! As a future teacher, I instinctively would be hesitant to use clips from sites such as YouTube because of the possibility of inappropriate material. But yes, students are viewing this stuff everyday on their own on TV, in the news, and over the internet. This is not to say, however, that I would promote the use of such material without first viewing it for appropriate content.
I really enjoy using SchoolTube.com, a moderated video sharing site for K-12 students, teachers, and parents. They are a little more student friendly, but they've got lots of resources for teachers too.
What's neat about SchoolTube is that no videos are viewable on the site until they are approved by a teacher or SchoolTube staff.
I would do a few things to
I would do a few things to verify...
1. There are lots of videos on YouTube that do violate copyright laws, and I'd steer completely clear of those, of course.
2. If it appears that the video in question is an original video, you might just email the person who uploaded it, asking them for permission.
3. Unless the uploader is an actual company which you can clearly determine holds the copyright and can grant you permission, I would certainly not do anymore with it than show it during a lesson. Don't distribute it, copy it, keep it beyond the lesson, show it outside the classroom, or show it in any event/surrounding in which a cost is associated, and I think you at least are attempting to not blatantly violate copyright laws.
I have emailed several individual users who have uploaded their own content (home movies, vacation footage of national or historic places, etc.) and just asked them if I could show their video to students, and so far have gotten all positive responses.
I'm not a lawyer, by any stretch, so best to read up on the latest. Here are a few sources of information:
Youtube and copyright laws
My concern is copyright laws. If we show a Youtube video for a valid content-based lesson, could we be sued?
A good concern
There have been reports of viruses attached to videos, but generally speaking they seem to have been mainly social engineering type hacks ( "Watch this video then download the software seen in the video"). However, that seems to be changing. Here's a relevant article:
YouTube Question
Are the videos on YouTube safe to view? What are the possibilities that viruses are attached the the videos?

Exciting sprinter Emerald Hill stretched his unbeaten run to four wins with yet another impressive galloping display on Friday night.
Untried beyond 1100m at his previous three wins, the US-bred four-year-old by Sharp Humor took the hefty impost of 59.5kg and the step-up to 1200m of the $75,000 Kranji Stakes C-2 race all in his stride with a comprehensive two-length win over Davide (Zawari Razali) with Rush (Stephen Baster) running on late for third another 2 ½ lengths away.
The winning time was 1min 11.52secs.
Emerald Hill (Saifudin Ismail) makes it four on the trot on Friday night.
Backed down to solid $8 favouritism, the highly-strung Emerald Hill was as usual a bundle of nerves before the start, bathing in a lather of sweat while milling around behind the gates, but was the complete professional once he was sent on his way.
Jumping on terms with the 10 other runners, the John O'Hara-trained gelding used his early toe to easily slot into the fence while the equally speedy Super Jetset (Ivaldo Santana) momentarily took the lead as he speared over from his outside gate.
Without being bustled up by regular partner Saifudin Ismail, Emerald Hill eventually landed in front as Super Jetset dropped off a notch while Davide continued to surge forth to take up second spot on his outside.
Regular partner Saifudin Ismail had Emerald Hill well kept together until the 300m mark when Davide loomed up threateningly on his outside. But the Malaysian jockey still had a lapful under him, and once he pulled the whip, the race was all over in the blink of an eye.
The flashy chestnut responded with a strong burst inside the last 200m to dash clear for a fourth win that is however still not getting O'Hara pencilling grandiose plans for his precious charge.
"It was by far his toughest test tonight. The weight was a big concern, but he won well in the end," said the Singaporean handler who wasat a training double having earlier saddled $65 outsider Theology (Santana) to victory in the $65,000 Restricted Maiden-1 (2 & 3YO) race over 1200m six races earlier.
"Saifudin only pulled the stick a few times in the home straight. I think he should be able to get further, probably 1400m at some stage.
"I don't have any ambitious plans for him at the moment. Just take him through his grades and try and keep his unbeaten record intact."
Saifudin said the Saratoga Stable-owned galloper has proven on Friday night he could shoulder big weights and had finally turned into a more seasoned racehorse.
"What I really liked about him was how he was so much more relaxed tonight," he said.
"When Super Jetset came on his outside at the start, I thought he would be really keen, but he just took a sit and settled really well.
"In the straight, I knew he would be hard to beat as I still had plenty of horse under me. He's really improved a lot."
That fourth success has now brought Emerald Hill's earnings past the $130,000 mark, a more than handy return on his US$23,000 price tag as a two-year-old.

Despite budget issues, book festival still makes a good read |
It's been through rocky years of state budget cuts and uncertainty, but the Louisiana Book Festival keeps bouncing back. The one-day event was canceled in 2010 when state funding dwindled to nearly nothing, but rallied last year, drawing thousands to the state capitol for author talks, a book market, exhibitions and more. Chalk it up to talented writers and booklovers who call the Pelican State home, private partners like Barnes & Noble, but also the dedicated folks at the State Library and the lieutenant governor's office who have sought out federal grants and local support to keep it going.
"Louisiana is very often at the bottom of the list [in many categories]," says State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton. "But Louisiana is at the top of the list for Louisiana authors and artists who really contribute to our cultural economy. Having such fantastic authors writing about our beautiful, unique state—it's promoting that idea of how important it is to have a culture of literacy."
Hamilton also touts the festival's boost to tourism, bringing $2 million in revenue to the city, she says. The ninth such event, the festival takes over downtown in front of the state capitol and Fourth Street Oct. 27. louisianabookfestival.org
We asked State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton to highlight some of her favorite books set in the South and by Louisiana authors (pictured above), all of which can be found, of course, at your local library.
The Missing by Tim Gautreaux
Working in a New Orleans Department store after World War I, Sam Simoneaux is haunted by the kidnapping of a young girl from the store and sets out to find her. The plot is rich with folklore and descriptions of the past.
Mariana Titus is one of my best friends. I met her when I worked in the St. Mary Parish Library System. Her books reflect her love and devotion to the Bayou Teche area of Louisiana. This one is full of graveyard epitaphs, photographs and short narratives that connect past and present souls in a thoughtful, humorous, often wistful oral history of Franklin and St. Mary Parish.
Summers Full of Porch Bull by Mariana Titus
Many stories have been shared and lessons learned on the front porch. I spent several summers on Mama T's front porch with Mariana waving to those that passed by and meeting new friends to stopped by to chat. This is an enchanting foray into the hearts and minds of South Louisiana folk.
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: A Novel by Rebecca Wells
I think we all know some Ya Ya's. Sometimes considered a Southern book, it will resonate with anyone who knows that special bond between life-long friends, of accepting the good with bad, the achievements and embarrassments that arise between friends.
This Louisiana Thing that Drives Me: The Legacy of Ernest J. Gaines by Reggie Scott Young, Marcia Gaudet and Wiley Cash
Ernest Gaines is one of my absolute favorite authors. I grew up in West Baton Rouge Parish right on the border of Point Coupee Parish, and Gaines' books refer to areas I know very well. His life, legacy and inspiration are brought to life in photographs, letters, essays and quotations.

Bad Guys, Good Eats! Pop-Up Dinner at Restaurant IPO
Chef and 225 contributor Jay D. Ducote and Chef Chris Wadsworth hosted the Bad Guys, Good Eats! dinner at Restaurant IPO Wednesday night. The dinner was themed around famous movie villains, pairing cocktails and ales with plates of food resembling famous baddies like The Joker, Lord Voldemort, Hannibal Lector, and many others.
