The state ranked ninth last year in the annual report by Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The study said the state's obesity rate of 30.9 percent is .3 percentage points above last year, and that Arkansas is one of a dozen states where nearly 1 in 3 adults is obese.
Mississippi has the highest adult obesity rate at 34.9 percent, while Colorado has the lowest rate at 20.7 percent. Twenty-six of the 30 states with the highest rates of obesity are in the South and Midwest.
More than two-thirds of adults in the United States, 68 percent, are either overweight or obese, according to the report. Among children ages 2-19, 16.9 percent are obese and 31.7 percent are overweight or obese.

ALBANY — The City Council last week voted 5-0 to repeal its development agreement with the University of California for the proposed University Village development on San Pablo Avenue. However, the repeal — if finalized — will not stop the university from proceeding with its development.
The council will vote again on whether to repeal the agreement at a second reading at its meeting Dec. 3.
The repeal came after a petition for a referendum was filed in August. That petition forced the council to either place the development agreement before voters or repeal it. A special election would have cost $50,000 to $120,000, according to a staff report.
The development agreement was one of several ordinances passed at a special council meeting in July approving the University Village project. The agreement covers ancillary items such as agreements with local labor unions and Albany Little League.
The project, as proposed, would provide assisted living housing for seniors and a grocery store. However, after four years of public meetings, the project was still controversial, and a group circulated petitions calling for a referendum.
At the same time, two lawsuits were filed alleging violations of the California Environmental Quality Act. Those lawsuits are still pending.
One issue cited by the petition gatherers was the future of the Gill Tract, a parcel of land that is not part of the proposed development. That land was occupied in April by a group called "Occupy the Farm."
After being removed from the land in May, protesters have broken into the property several times to tend and harvest crops they planted. Many have claimed that the development will lead to development of the Gill Tract, removing one of the few pieces of farmland in the area.
After enough signatures were verified, the council had two options: It could repeal the ordinance or it could place it on the ballot. UC officials supported repeal and, according to a city staff report, unions and the Little League were in contact with UC and had been reassured that their objectives would be addressed after repeal.
Assuming the council votes again to repeal the agreement, it could then direct staff to enter into negotiations on a new agreement, wait a year to introduce an ordinance approving a similar agreement, or proceed without an agreement. City Clerk Nicole Almaguer said Tuesday that staff has not been directed to negotiate a new agreement.
However, that may not be necessary. According to a staff report written by Community Development Director Jeff Bond, the remaining project approvals are all in place. That report said that, pending market conditions, the project would proceed in phases, with the senior housing likely to be "moving forward in the near term." Because Whole Foods Market, the original proposed tenant, has pulled out of the project, the grocery store portion of the project will have to wait for a new tenant to reach agreement with the university.
Gill Tract dispute
In other news associated with the UC property, College of Natural Resources Dean Keith Gilless sent an open letter Nov. 16 to the Albany community as UC workers dug up crops planted by the occupiers.
The letter said staff was preparing the land for winter and that all land — including that used by the occupiers — would be used for research and teaching. The letter concluded by addressing the work of Occupy the Farm.
"In mid-September we gave them advance notice that all of the growing grounds would need to be planted with a cover crop this winter, yet in recent weeks they have continued with their unauthorized planting," Gilless wrote. "I truly regret that they chose to spend their time and efforts on planting that we have had to disc under, rather than seek ways to work with my college and the community. Their disregard for the rights of our research community and programmatic development activities are a direct threat to both academic freedom and our capacity to fulfill the university's mission."
Occupy the Farm responded with its own open letter Tuesday.
"Over the course of the last month, members of the public sowed edible winter greens together with fava beans, a popular and effective cover crop," the letter stated. "Had the UC left these in place, the Gill Tract would have benefited from the necessary nutrient building over the course of the winter, and would have produced food for the community."

Had I known. I too contacted BMW Customer Service and this info will add credence to my complaint.
Had I known. I too contacted BMW Customer Service and this info will add credence to my complaint.
Is this is their idea of a customer lounge, folding chairs and an empty drink machine? In total, I spent about 12 hours here. I guess you get what you pay for when you decide to purchase a BMW. Are you kidding me?

Anyway, should an authorized BMW Motorrad's service dept. have a sign like this?
Today I left Dodge City and headed out across Kansas. It was cold and gloomy but miles had to be made up since I was held up so long at Pikes Peak Motorsports in Colorado Springs.
39˚ and windy eventually became 52˚ and rain.
I can't say enough about my gear and the BMW's heated grips. They make these conditions so much more than tolerable. Not that it's a pleasure mind you but it makes stopping out of the question.
Into Oklahoma then east into western Arkansas. 450 miles of otherwise "I'll take the car" weather. Hoping for dry roads and warmer temps tomorrow through the Ozarks.
Nothing exciting about today's ride which is a good thing. Ironically, I found it to be a very nice ride. Really no scenery, and no traffic. It's hard to describe but after reflecting on today's miles, I sit here in my hotel with a reserved smile on my face....and the thermostat at 80.
I'm hoping to thrash a bit of the Ozarks tomorrow and the make it into eastern Tennessee. If not, there's a lot of good college football to watch.
In case you didn't know #5 Georgia plays my #6 Gamecocks in Columbia at 7pm.
Tomorrow's ride will be governed accordingly.

Today's ride ended in rain and 48˚ temps. Stay thirsty Ol' Blue.
Like your parking spot.

Have Bike - Will Ride
I left Springdale, Arkansas this morning under partly cloudy skies and 39˚. Heading south on I-540, I exited on AR 180 which turns into AR 16. What a great road. No traffic, no cops and 50-70mph sweepers. Just what an RT likes. Before I knew it I had gobbled up 150 miles of asphalt.
Eventually AR 16 intersects with AR 7, which dumps you off on I-40.
Just before getting on the interstate I noticed ominous clouds to the east southeast. Right where I was heading. I pulled off of AR 7 and donned all of my foul weather gear. A good thing too. As soon as I pulled onto the freeway, the skies opened up. Heavy rain, 42˚ and traffic heading into Little Rock.
About 2 hours later I pulled off for gas. It was around noon and still pouring. Right there next to the gas station were a couple of nice cozy hotels. I was tempted but not deterred. A full tank and onward towards Memphis. The rain would not let up.
After running past Memphis, I called it a day. I was wet, cold and hungry. I had only traveled a total of 350 miles but I feel like they were well earned. And I thought, why kill myself. Put the bike away to ride another day.

AR 7. This says it all.
....as does this.
After a rainy night, sitting in my hotel room watching the Gamecocks destroy Georgia, I woke up to dry pavement. There still was a thin layer of clouds that indicated rain was possible. My plan was to get 300 miles under my belt no matter what the weather. As it turned out, leaving Memphis and heading east, the skies started to clear. Not cloudless but bits of pure sunshine. It's amazing how a small ray of sunshine can stir my soul. I had a friend who taught me the true meaning of life. Some of her wisdom was the feeling of warm sunshine bathing your skin on a cold day. Check. Another was a hot shower after being soaked by a cold rain. Double check. The point is the simplest things are the most treasured. She passed away in 2000.
So here I was on I-40, heading east trying to accumulate some miles. Just after Nashville, I needed a change and exited onto Hwy 70. A nice change of pace, some small towns, a few twisties and about 80 miles.
From there back on I-40 to 321 looking for a dragon. After gassing up, I made my way over to 129. Sunday afternoon and Deal's Gap was virtually empty, nobody ahead of me and nobody behind me for the entire session. Beautiful.
At the south end of the Dragon there is a left turn onto NC 28. Wow! What a great road. Less technical and much faster than the Dragon. It runs along side a river for quite a distance and provides few surprises. The RT just ate it up.
It eventually straightens out and I went looking for 441 to lead me to the southern beginning of the Blue Ridge Parkway, hoping to ride the part I missed by starting it in Asheville at the beginning of my trip.
It's amazing how different it looked from a month ago. It had transformed from the effects of Autumn. No more green canopy. Now the roads were sprinkled with the colorful leaves of fall. Really a pretty time to be here.
As I got higher on the mountains, the vistas revealed some remarkable cloud cover from below. It felt heavenly not unlike the summit of Pike's Peak.
I road the Blue Ridge into the night, looking down on the faint lights of the small towns below. I felt as if I was the only person on the entire parkway. A combination of solitude and terror.
Ended the day in Asheville.
Tomorrow I hope to catch some more of "28" and eventually make it to Tallahassee and to hug my daughter.
I can't believe it's almost the end of the road.
Rainy in Memphis
Gear drying and thawing
Break time on the Dragon

NC 28, a great road. The road is on the right side of the photo and shows from where I came.

White Spaces Require Heavy Lifting
4 comments post a comment
Neul's goal of building an IoT network around white-space spectrum makes sense, but it will take major investments from heavy hitters to pull it off.
Last week I went to my first Meetup event in Silicon Valley, one located in the Hacker Dojo and focused on the Internet of Things. The location alone deserves another visit because I saw lots of groups working on interesting hardware projects.
For as little as $100 a month you can use the space to meet, solder, code, and work on your nerd passion. If there is a version of this in your town, and you need space to work, then go check it out.
This meetup was hosted by Luke D'Arcy of Neul Ltd., a Cambridge, UK, company promoting the use for IoT of white spaces, the radio spectrum between broadcast TV bands. EE Times has covered Neul and its initiative for a while, including a recent interview by Peter Clarke with Neul's new CEO.
When I first started writing about the Internet of Things, I broke down what it will take for market success into eight factors including two major barriers around communications and data ownership. Neul is trying to address the communications issue, and I wish them well, but as Luke pointed out in his talk it's a Gargantuan task to build a new nationwide white-space network.
Building a new white-space network for IoT could be the spark that gets us to billions of connected devices. It makes a lot of sense for the major players (Cisco, AT&T, Verizon, Qualcomm, ARM, Google, IBM, etc.) to get it done. Existing cellular networks are optimized now for high bandwidth data like video, and WiFi uses the wrong frequencies for good propagation. UHF TV bands are perfect for the low-data-rate but reliable wide-area network that IoT needs.
There is an industry group in place to promote the white-space initiative called the Weightless SIG. It has 700 members already, so there is momentum, but it's going to take a massive investment by a few key leaders to make this happen. What do you think the odds are?

Discussion in 'Star Trek - The Original & Animated Series' started by T'Girl, Nov 26, 2012.
I'm thinking the Vol set/prop in the "Apple" was fairly large as well.
The Galileo shuttlecraft was a pretty good sized prop too. Regarding the Paradise Syndrome Obelisk, I was convinced it must have been something redressed from another production, until I saw Jefferies' sketches a few years ago.
Methinks Mike misremembered. It seems unlikely that a show that budget conscious would have thrown a half an episode's worth of budget at optical effects.
By the way, hi!
The difference being that it was intended for ongoing use so the cost was amortized across the full series. Also, didn't they contract the construction out to AMT in exchange for the model-kit rights, or something?
These are all excellent points, Chris. And, thanks for putting it in context w/ the village set etc.
Could be true. I've always heard the cause was Gene Roddenberry taking more of a backseat role, and new writers being brought on board (for less pay, no doubt). A look at the writers for each season shows quite a few new ones (and Gene L. Coon using a Lee Cronin as a pen name).
Though before giving Roddenberry too much credit, if you notice his two third season contributions in clue such gems as "The Savage Curtain" and "Turnabout Intruder".
Yup. Which has been giving us model-builders a for decades, because the AMT model is horribly, horribly inaccurate to both the prop AND the filming miniature.
Yes. For some reason I blanked on the thread title specifying "one-time prop" and didn't notice until after making the post. One of my disappointments with the AMT model was it didn't have an interior, and I couldn't find any 1/25 or 1/32 scale figures that seemed to match its size.
They probably saved some money on costume design for the episode. Must have been plenty of Amerindian getup lying around from old Westerns.
Mine did, sort of. There were seven seats (but no platform floor), an front control panel and a interior bulkhead that gave the model a bluge 3/4 of the way back from the bow.
My astronauts made of lego blocks fit the seat nicely. Plus it floated in the tub.
Maybe I'm misremembering in my old age. The last time I had the model was during the 70s. I know the door and windows were molded into the body and didn't open.
Wisely and very well stated, Christopher!
Both of you are correct. The "hatch" was merely indented seams in the two hull pieces and (in the initial release) the viewports were just indented sections in the hull. (The 80s re-release had the viewports empty and a clear piece of styrene fitted into the holes.)
But it did have a control console, a rear bulkhead (with the scribed seams of a pocket door) and 7 bucket seats (that mounted upon stems molded into the bottom hull piece rather than the "brackets" depicted in the series).
As designed, the kit instructions suggested one NOT glue the hull sections together so that the top half could be removed to see the interior.
The kit's biggest "flaw" was the elimination of the staggered "step stair" arrangement at the stern. Instead, it was simply "squared" off. The other inaccuracies didn't detract too badly, but the bottom stern element was nothing like the miniature or the full size set piece.
Fortunately, that will be corrected with the totally new 1/32 scale kit Round2 is currently designing.
The kit was doubtless simplified to make the tooling cheaper and make fewer parts. To do the hull properly would require a minimum or four to six parts.
I think I stopped buying the model kits when they got over $10. Now I have a low priced modeling/animation program and video editor, which I collectively describe as having a movie studio in a box.
I doubt the writers were paid less for their work in the third season than in the previous two years; union rules tend to keep those costs pretty stable, do they not?
A lot of writers who had previously written for the show were retained, too. D.C. Fontana, Gene Coon, Gene Roddenberry, John Meredyth Lucas, Oliver Crawford, Margaret Armen, Jerry Sohl, and Jerome Bixby had all written for the show at least once during the first two seasons. All but Sohl have multiple writing credits during the third year.
What did change was the show's production staff. Gene Coon was no longer producer (he left near the end of season two) and his late season replacement, John Meredyth Lucas, was not asked to continue in the role during season three. D.C. Fontana left her role as script consultant. Gene Roddenberry was executive producer, but in name only. Although all four of these people were still around as writers, none of them were around to re-write material to bring it in line with the series format and characters, and the show suffered for it.
^"Retained" isn't really the right word there, since many of the writers you list were freelancers, certainly during the third season. They would've been hired on an episode-by-episode basis. They would've simply been rehired. And I think the episodes credited to Fontana (or "Michael Richards") and Coon were ones left over from season 2's script development anyway.
"Retained" was clumsy; "rehired" would be better. All of the writers I listed were working as freelancers (except, perhaps, Roddenberry), which the series relied on heavily for stories.
Fontana signed a contract in February of 1968 to write three scripts for the third season (with an option for three additional scripts). "The Enterprise Incident," "Joanna," and "Survival" were all written for the third season as part of that contract. She hated the way all three were re-written and she declined to write further for the series.
Writing as Lee Cronin, for legal reasons outlined in the Solow/Justman book, Coon continued to work as a freelancer for the third season. Story outlines were turned in for "The Last Gunfight" and "Wink of an Eye" in March of 1968, and "Spock's Brain" in April of 1968. "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" was a second try at a story that had been junked in the first season ("A Portrait in Black and White"), but Coon wrote a new story outline in March of 1968.
So, no, those weren't leftovers from season two's script development.
Desilu covered more of the overhead. Paramount made the show pay for all of it. So it ended up as a smaller amount of money to spend on actual production during the Paramount episodes. This is detailed somewhere in the Inside Star Trek book but I don't have it anymore to give a page number.
The cost per script is exactly the same. But there is usually a fund for 4 or 5 extra scripts that might not work out, because you still have to pay the writer even if you don't produce the episode due to the WGA agreement. Without that fund in the third season, they just had to produce any script commissioned.
Oh, I understand the concept. During the first season, at least thirteen stories were bought and then junked (although one, "Rock-A-Bye-Baby, or Die," was bought back by George Clayton Johnson).
What I doubt is the claim that the staff was unable to junk a single story during the third season. Looking at the writers report from the production week ending 3-29-68, in fact, I know this isn't true. The document lists three teleplays that were finished and turned in, but not produced:
"Shol" (Darlene Hartman)
"The Joy Machine" (Theodore Sturgeon)
"He Walks Among Us" (Norman Spinrad)
It lists several story outlines that were turned in, but not produced:
"Bem" (David Gerrold)
"Down from Heaven"* (Lee Cronin)
"The Godhead" (John M. Lucas)
It also lists several story outlines that were assigned at that point, but not produced (this is the last writers report in the Roddenberry papers at UCLA):
"Van Voyt's Robots" (D.C. Fontana)
"Ears" (D.C. Fontana)
"Japan Triumphant" (Lee Cronin)
"One Million, B.C." (Lee Cronin)
"Shore Leave II" (Theodore Sturgeon)
*Might this be "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"?
Separate names with a comma.

Richard 'Sam' Barlow
Title: Irrigation technician
First day: May 11, 1970, as one of three Arvida Corp. landscape workers
• Richard "Sam" Barlow is on the golf course most days by 5 a.m.
• He's been showing up for work there every day since May 11, 1970 — back when the Islandside Golf Course was the Longboat Key Golf Club, and Harbourside wasn't even a sketch on a developer's pad.
• But, after 42 years around the golf course, Barlow has only played the game twice: Once he played the course with six balls and 154 strokes; the second time, he played nine holes in 93 strokes. "That's absolutely lousy," Barlow said. Although Barlow's golf game isn't up to par, he's a pro when it comes to fixing anything and everything; he makes replacement parts for a complicated four-pipe system himself whenever they break because many are no longer available. In fact, his supervisor, John Reilly, director of agronomy at the Key Club, describes him as "a modern-day MacGyver."
• Reilly enjoys watching people play on the golf course and has seen many of the resort's prominent guests over the years.
• Although, usually he has seen celebrity visitors from a distance, he had one VIP encounter that he'll always remember. "On the morning of Sept. 11, George Bush jogged right past while I was out here working on a sprinkler," Barlow said. "He said, 'Good morning,' and I said, 'Hello.' I thought that was pretty cool."
• With a 42-tenure at a 30-year-old resort, Barlow is the Key Club's longest-serving employee. And two years ago, in honor of his 40th anniversary, he got something that showed his VIP status.
• The Key Club marked a service road in the maintenance area with a sign that reads "Barlow Boulevard." "That's something really neat," Barlow said. "Someday I will leave, and when I do leave, I will take the sign with me."
John Woods
Title: Director of tennis
First day: July 1976
• John Woods has held the same title since he was hired by the Longboat Key Club in July 1976: director of tennis. "I can't get ahead," he jokes.
• His title may not have changed, but the facilities that he oversees have transformed during his 36 years of service.
• Woods was working in the 1970s at the Westside Tennis Club in Houston, but after a long, rainy season, he began sending resumes out to facilities in California and Florida. He got hired by the Country Club of Sarasota, which he helped to open. But the opening got off to a slow start, so Woods took the Key Club up on the job offer it had made to him.
• When Woods got started, the Key Club was just beginning its tennis programs. It didn't have membership. It was a semi-private club where the public could pay to play tennis and golf.
• The early days were slow. Woods oversaw the set-up of the pro shop and start up tennis programs; he made lots of phone calls to get people to check out the tennis facilities. "I loved the late '70s and early '80s," Woods said. "We got a great number of members at the time, and (the Key Club) put a lot into allowing me to grow the tennis."
• In recent years, the tennis facilities have seen new developments, such as the opening of the $4.2 million Tennis Gardens facility and hosting the Sarasota Open each spring. "We've gotten some really great players," Woods said.
Ruth Rogers
Title: Lead accounts payable clerk
First day: July 11, 1980, with Arvida Corp., as a landscaping accounting clerk
• As the Key Club's development sprouted up, Ruth Rogers saw it from behind the scenes. She started the job as a landscaping accounting clerk with Arvida Corp. two years before what is now the Longboat Key Club and Resort opened. The company she had worked for previously out of Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport had closed, and her friend saw the accounting clerk position in a newspaper advertisement. Rogers was happy to find a job in accounting, a field she enjoyed. "The only thing that was here was the Islandside golf and tennis facilities," Rogers said. "The main office was at 301 Gulf of Mexico Drive, and there was no hotel, and nothing at Harbourside was developed yet. It was very exciting to see the hotel being built. Things just grew from there as far as the development."
• Rogers said that the best part of her job is "working in paradise." "It is a very beautiful and inclusive property," Rogers said. "It was exciting to see the growth of the company from the time I started to the present day. A lot has changed."
Sally Krause
Title: Server
First day: Summer 1982
• Sally Krause was one of the many staffers hired to work at the Key Club's Islandside facilities as it neared completion in 1982.
• In April, as Krause prepared to celebrate 30 years with the Key Club, she shared some of her favorite memories with the Longboat Observer.
• She recalled a circus wedding reception at the Island House, in which one of the decorations was a trapeze, and another circus party held in the present location of L'Ambiance in which some guests arrived by helicopter and servers wore black and white and were made up with clown faces.
• Krause said that she enjoys the many weddings she has worked and meeting different people. "Being here for so many years, the children I once served are grown, and now I am serving their children," she said in April.
Mary Kay Ryan
Title: Director of marketing
First day: Dec. 8, 1982, as a clerk/typist
• Mary Kay Ryan was a recent college graduate working at a Sarasota accounting office in 1982 when her dad mentioned a big hotel being built on Longboat Key. She applied for a job and got hired two months after its opening. "We had our Christmas party on my first day of work," Ryan said.
• Like Sally Krause, Ryan remembers the giant circus party in the late 1980s where L'Ambiance is located today. According to Ryan, it was thrown by the Cigar Association of America and was the biggest event the Key Club had ever put on at that point, complete with lions, tigers and elephants.
• Another of Ryan's fondest memories dates back to 1994 when the Key Club hosted its first Florida Winefest & Auction, which included a black-tie dinner for 900 people. "We had never undertaken anything of that magnitude where every single person on staff had to work," Ryan said. "All of us managers were wine runners. We had never taken on something of that scope. I was just so wowed and amazed that not only did we accomplish that, we accomplished it beautifully."
• The Key Club has hosted scores of prominent guests over the past 30 years. Ryan said that many staffers were especially excited when Aerosmith was based at the Key Club for four or five weeks of its 1993-94 "Get a Grip" tour. They spent lots of time around the resort and were often spotted with their families by the pool. According to Ryan, the staff knew whenever the band was getting ready to leave the property in its five separate limos. And quite a few of them would back into spots under the parking lot trellis to watch, swooping down low in their cars when necessary so that they wouldn't be spotted.
Anna Brookshire
Title: Revenue manager
First day of work: July 1990
• Anna Brookshire came to Key Club in 1990 as the accommodations manager, in which she was responsible for front-desk reservations and the switchboard. "Thanks for calling the Longboat Key Club and Resort, how can I help you?" she used to answer the phone. Though it's not much different these days.
• In those early days, the front desk was outside of the building at 301 Gulf of Mexico. Eight years ago, the club moved the front desk to the resort center for the guests' convenience.
• There have been many famous people who have stayed at the Key Club over the years, but Brookshire won't divulge whom. But, what she can say is, "We manage to satisfy everyone who stays here. If we have specific requests, we try to take care of them."
• Her responsibilities these days aren't interacting with guests, but she does work closely with her staff and other department managers. She doesn't have a specific favorite moment over the years, but her favorite memories are the people with whom she works daily. "Every day is a good day," she says of the past few decades.

The contract is part of an option agreed to by the parties in June 2012, Bombardier noted, and brings the number of cars being built to 775, worth about $1.5 billion.
"BART is very pleased to be partnered with Bombardier for this important project to bring a new and improved fleet to the Bay Area," said BART General Manager Grace Crunican. "We look forward to the successful delivery of 775 innovative, reliable, safe and comfortable rail cars."
Said Bombardier Transportation President, Region Americas, Raymond Bachant, "This new order is indicative of BART's satisfaction with our partnership and progress in the design of this new generation of metro cars. The cars will incorporate state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly technologies and include input from Bay Area citizens who had the opportunity this summer to tour a mock-up of the car and learn about proposed improvements to the interior."
Bombardier said such improvements include: a reconfigured interior layout designed to maximize seating, openness, and comfort; more priority seating for seniors and people with disabilities; wheelchair areas at the end of each car; and bicycle racks in every car.
Other new features include: more comfortable seats; interior and exterior digital displays showing passenger information; a better quality public address system, including automated announcements; more doors to make boarding faster and easier; energy saving lighting; and energy-efficient propulsion and regenerative braking.
Bombardier will assemble the cars at its manufacturing plant in Plattsburgh, N.Y. Ten pilot cars are scheduled for delivery in the spring of 2015, followed by comprehensive testing of the pilot cars on the BART system. The delivery of the 765 remaining production series cars is expected to follow between early 2017 and 2021, Bombardier said.

Marlins not mandated to make moves
Club could be within payroll limit without trading more players
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
Team president David Samson on Monday night dismissed speculation that Florida is looking to unload salary. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has signed off on a roughly $35 million payroll, and the club conceivably could approach that total without shipping off any more players.
Already this offseason, the Marlins have completed three trades where four impact players from this past season were dealt. Mike Jacobs went to the Royals, while Scott Olsen and Josh Willingham were moved to the Nationals. Kevin Gregg also was sent to the Cubs.
All four of those players are eligible for arbitration, and the price tag to retain them would have been around $13 million.
So any moves the Marlins make at the Meetings or before Spring Training will be, in the team's eyes, to upgrade the squad.
Florida has 11 players eligible for arbitration, and by Friday, the team has to decide if it will offer tenders to them.
"We'd be making necessary baseball trades that would make our team better," Samson said. "There are always rumors about trades that have to happen, but that's not the case. The economy is something that to me, personally, should concern everybody at these Meetings. If there are any agents out there who do not believe the economy is a factor in how teams do business, they are in for a major surprise."
The Marlins are considering some possible trades, like whether to deal Jorge Cantu, Jeremy Hermida and Matt Treanor.
If necessary, the team could sign all its arbitration-eligible players and be within budget.
"We're comfortable with the team," president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. "You'd like to upgrade any way that you can. That's why you come here, and you have discussions and you look around. Not only for the '09 team, but into the future, if something makes sense."

Piniella calls Steinbrenner 'father figure'
Cubs manager, a former Yankee, and Ricketts speak of Boss
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
"George was like a father figure to me," Piniella said in a statement issued by the Cubs. "He treated me well, he treated me fair and he gave me a wonderful opportunity to play and manage the game we all love."
Piniella played for Steinbrenner and the Yankees from 1974-84, winning World Series rings in 1977 and '78, and managed the team in 1986, '87 and '88, although not without some interruptions. Steinbrenner dismissed him twice, replacing Piniella with Billy Martin, then rehired "Sweet Lou."
Piniella guided the Cincinnati Reds to the World Series championship in 1990, sweeping the Oakland Athletics. Piniella reportedly said after the triumph: "See, George, I can manage."
Despite their run-ins, Steinbrenner respected Piniella as well.
"I don't know if I've had another player who cared so much," Steinbrenner said in a 2001 Sports Illustrated article by Frank Deford about Piniella. "Such instinct and desire."
"George will be remembered as one of the most influential and renowned owners of a franchise in sports history," Piniella said in the statement released Tuesday. "He leaves a legacy of winning and an unwavering passion for success.
"My wife Anita and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Steinbrenner family and the Yankees organization," Piniella said. "George was very special to me and I loved him."
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts also issued a statement upon the passing of Steinbrenner, who celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4.
"My family and I are sad to learn of the passing of George Steinbrenner early this morning," Ricketts said. "He will be truly missed by players, fans and all of Major League Baseball.
"George will be remembered for the leader he was, the championships he brought into being and his many contributions to America's pastime," Ricketts said. "My family and all of Cubs Nation send our condolences to the Steinbrenner family, the Yankees and their fans."

safe_cast allows you to change the type of an expression and generate verifiable MSIL code.
The expression safe_cast<type-id>(expression) converts the operand expression to an object of type type-id.
The compiler will accept a static_cast in most places that it will accept a safe_cast. However, safe_cast is guaranteed to produce verifiable MSIL, where as a static_cast could produce unverifiable MSIL. See Pure and Verifiable Code (C++/CLI) and PEVerify Tool (Peverify.exe) for more information on verifiable code.
Like static_cast, safe_cast invokes user-defined conversions.
For more information about casts, see Casting Operators.
safe_cast does not apply a const_cast (cast away const).
safe_cast is in the cli namespace. See cli Namespace for more information.
For more information on safe_cast, see:
One example of where the compiler will not accept a static_cast but will accept a safe_cast is for casts between unrelated interface types. With safe_cast, the compiler will not issue a conversion error and will perform a check at runtime to see if the cast is possible
// safe_cast.cpp // compile with: /clr using namespace System; interface class I1 {}; interface class I2 {}; interface class I3 {}; ref class X : public I1, public I2 {}; int main() { I1^ i1 = gcnew X; I2^ i2 = safe_cast<I2^>(i1); // OK, I1 and I2 have common type: X // I2^ i3 = static_cast<I2^>(i1); C2440 use safe_cast instead try { I3^ i4 = safe_cast<I3^>(i1); // fail at runtime, no common type } catch(InvalidCastException^) { Console::WriteLine("Caught expected exception"); } }

Axiom Global Inc. is kicking off the new year with a sizeable amount of funding.
The Wall Street Journal Law Blog reported yesterday that the legal services company, which is celebrating its 13th year, will receive $28 million in funding from growth-equity firm Carrick Capital Partners. The company will use the money to expand its customer base—which already includes big names such as Hewlett-Packard Co., American Express Co. and Morgan Stanley—and to launch new offerings.
According to Axiom, lawyers at the New York-based company perform legal services—including M&A, technology licensing, investment advisement, contracting and more—for clients at lower prices than traditional law firms. Many of the company's 550 lawyers come from Big Law firms. Axiom's goal, according to CEO Mark Harris, is to perform tasks that will free up in-house clients' time and allow them to focus on bigger-picture issues. The company also offers software products that help streamline operations.
Watch for more about Axiom and other alternative legal service providers in the April issue of InsideCounsel.

WWE Smackdown
-The "entire roster" is out on the ramp for an address from Triple H, who is in the ring with Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox. He says that he didn't want to fire Cody Rhodes on Raw, and gave him every opportunity to fight for his job. Triple H claims he doesn't want anyone to fear for their job, which is why he wants anyone with something to say to speak their mind. Kofi Kingston was the first to step up, and said the whole roster is scared and living in fear, and that's not what is best for business. Heath Slater is next, and complains about Big Show not doing what's right. RVD tells Hunter that what he's doing "isn't cool, dude."
-Triple H makes fun of Slater, saying that he probably just emptied the whole content of his brain, and says he's been waiting since 2000 to be called "dude" by Rob Van Dam. He say Daniel Bryan isn't on stage because his ego is out of control, but says he can pick any member of The Shield to face tonight. He also gives Kofi a non-title match against Curtis Axel, books RVD against WWE Champion Randy Orton, and just for fun, gives Ryback another match against Dolph Ziggler.
(1) Randy Orton def. Rob Van Dam. Alberto del Rio got involved, and beat down RVD after the match.
-Backstage, Daniel Bryan says The Shield can decide for themselves who will face him, since it won't be a fair fight anyways.

I´m waiting since month, but JKay didn`t manage it to correct the Problem that the CRT Effect dosn`t work.
Only if Wifi is on it works. Mostly I have Wifi off an the CRT Effect (the first reason why I install JKay Deluxe) dosn`t work any more.
JKay works hard, but ignores the Problem with the CRT Effect.
Is there another possibility to have CRT (off) effect on Galaxy S3 together with JKax Framework ?

Advance Funeral Planning for Baby Boomers: Personalization Considerations
Most people can recognize the benefit of advance funeral planning when it comes to sparing loved ones the burden of making difficult decisions at an already difficult time. But many may not realize that advance planning also allows you to personalize your funeral and cemetery services in ways that reflect your specific wishes. And as more and more Baby Boomers plan their own final arrangements, traditional funeral services are being enhanced with highly personalized life celebrations.
Decoration of the visitation room is one way to personalize your service. Items related to your work or favorite hobbies, such as fishing, hunting, sewing, gardening or photography, can be displayed to reflect your interests or personality. Personal photographs of important events or people in your life also can create a very personal environment for the visitation or funeral service.
In addition to decorations and displays of personal items, many people choose to personalize various elements of the service itself with significant music and readings. Increasingly, Baby Boomers have begun leaving their creative mark on these elements as well by sometimes departing from the traditional in favor of selections more in keeping with the spirit of individuality that swept their generation.
The procession from chapel to cemetery also can reflect your individuality. An avid cyclist, for example, might like riding club friends to escort the procession, while a musician might choose a band to lead the way. Consider also the flowers ordered or sent for the service. Do you have a favorite flower? Would you prefer charitable gifts in your honor in lieu of flowers? Are there other requests of your guests, such as attire or activity, you want to include in your plans?
After the service, receptions are more the norm than the exception these days. The reception might be held at the funeral home, a relative's home or other venue. Again, as Baby Boomers increasingly plan their final arrangements in advance, many ask friends and family to gather in a place of significance, such as a beloved restaurant or lake house, to share memories and celebrate a life lived.
By arranging their funeral and cemetery services in advance, Baby Boomers not only can help relieve family and friends of the stress of planning their funeral but also can create a highly personalized service unique to the spirit and passions with which they lived their life.

HARRISON, N.J. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena discussed the LA Galaxy's disappointing 1-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls.
Arena's quotes are below…
(On the goal by Tim Cahill…)
ARENA: "That's not good. That play tonight shouldn't happen. That's 90% goalkeeper ball there."
(On what is happening late in the game…)
ARENA: "You saw that goal; we had plays the other way to get a goal too…You have to make a play; they made a play, we didn't; that's the difference in the game. That game should be one point. That's a real good effort; we played pretty well for the third game in a week traveling all over the country. I'm disappointed for our players because we certainly played well enough to get out of here with a point."
(On Rafael Garcia's performance…)
ARENA: "Solid job. He did a good job for his game with extended minutes."
(On the foul by Gyasi Zardes that set up the free kick being a "rookie mistake"…)
ARENA: "Well, the referee didn't have to call it either. It was maybe not a foul, but we just have to make the play on the restart. That ball was headed in from four or five yards out. That's our goalkeeper's ball."
(On the road trip…)
ARENA: "I'm very disappointed not having a minimum of four points in the road trip even though it was a good effort from our guys. Our guys played pretty well (today) given the fact that most of them were pushed for the third game in a week. I can't argue with their effort."

Halloween time machine
October 4, 2011 by Patrick Madrid
Filed under Patrick's Blog
The other day, I was telling one of my teenage sons about what it was like when I was a kid and went out trick-or-treating, back in the 1960s and early 1970s. For one thing, Halloween was always observed on October 31st. None of this modern-day social engineering stuff where the local municipality "transfers" Halloween to a different day. Also, back in those days, it was pretty uncommon for parents to be out walking the streets as chaperons for their kids, unless, of course, they were little kids. But pretty much, if you were 7 or 8 and up, you'd be out trick-or-treating sans parents and with your neighborhood pals. Boy, have times changed. It's the foolish parent who'd let his grammar school aged child go out unattended these days. As for hauling candy, I learned early on (like this comedian mentions) that a pillow case is a much better, more effective confectionary repository than a paper bag, and for the very reasons he talks about.

State Law Kills Amazon Associates Program
Date: Thursday, June 30th, 2011, 08:28
Category: Announcement, Legal, News, Services
As the result of a new bill passed by Governor Jerry Brown in California, Amazon will be terminating its service contracts for all Amazon Associates members residing in California. The new bill, which requires that taxes be collected on all sales by online retailers, extends its reach to "California-based marketing affiliates" which includes the referral status from residents participating in the Amazon Associates program. All current participants should have received an email covering the details from Amazon.com in the last few days, as the termination went into effect as of June 29, 2011. Here are some excerpts from the emails that were sent out:
Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned before today will be processed and paid in full in accordance with the regular payment schedule.
We oppose this bill because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive. It is supported by big-box retailers, most of which are based outside California, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue. We deeply regret that we must take this action.
[…] we are continuing to work on alternative ways to help California residents monetize their websites and we will be sure to contact you when these become available.
The change does not affect any participants who reside outside of California, and those services will continue as normal. If a participant has or is planning to move to another state, they can contact Amazon to be reinstated into the program here.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling, who colonized Nova Scotia, in Antigonish, Pictou, the Carolinas, Virginia and Upper Canada. Richard H. Alexander, traveled from Ontario in a group called the "Overlanders" in 1862 and became one of Vancouver's most prominent businessmen and civic officials. Hugh Alexander and his family were among those passengers who arrived in New York from Newry in 1803..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Per mare, per terras
Motto Translation: By sea, by land.

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies: Kelvin Universe' started by Gojira, Jul 13, 2012.
And oh baby it's sooooo good.
The TOS Blu-Rays had the trailer for the new movie in front of them. CBS and Paramount may be separate entities, but they're both invested in having the franchise succeed.
I wonder whether there will be anything with the theatrical showings of remastered TNG episodes. You'd think we'd have heard if there were, but given the lack of information that's been released so far, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
I wouldn't hold my breath about the theatrical screenings of the TNG episodes. We most certainly would have heard about something by now, such a fact would likely be used to try and draw people in.
Indeed, I suspect that when the trailer is finally released we're likely going to have trailers for the trailer during the preceding week, just like Prometheus and Spider-Man.
The days of surprise are behind us. Trailers don't come out of the blue anymore, they are announced prior to the audience seeing them. Even Abrams and his Cohorts follow this. Hell, one of the Cohorts worked on Prometheus, which had trailers for the trailer.
I hope a trailer for star trek 2013 comes out soon....I saw the recent Man of Steel trailer and I was bored to tears. Maybe I am just superhero fatigue (watching Avengers, Dark knight rises and Amazing Spiderman in the space of 2 months was great but exhausting) I want my science fiction films back in cinema.
I know JJ will deliver
I know, but when Orci says "soon", it doesn't mean anything.
I think at least two of the three films you list above would qualify as science-fiction.
I would like to know how soon "very soon" is. Actually, since the time of the OP, the teaser must be coming very, very soon.
I guess so since peter parker/spiderman is a science geek and tony stark and bruce banner from avengers are both scientists.
However I am talking about science fiction films that NASA actually respects and like to reference a lot ....in other words STAR TREK.
So yeah bring on the trailer for Star Trek 2013.
Still doesn't mean he has a "major time management problem".
He gets pressed for an answer, so he tries to give an answer we'd like to hear, and that he's allowed to give. Imagine the furor if he simply answered "No comment" to every request.
And why are you worried? IIRC, you disliked the last film and hold little/no hope for the next one?
Bored by a 30-second trailer? You must bore easily.
Yeah. What does he do with all of his time? He seems to be accomplishing nothing in life.
If you can cry while your head explodes, teacake, I can't wait to see what you're capable of when the film releases!
^ You know, I'm kind of expecting Teacake to give off so much energy upon the film release that we no longer have to worry about our natural resources...we will simply harness her "emissions" :-)
The teaser for Trek 09 was cool - showing a little moment not in the actual movie is the way to go
I said before that we would definitely see a teaser by the end of July (July being the ComicCon month).
Abrams has until the end of today to make me an honest man, although I'm not holding my breath.
I wouldn't expect much from a teaser... When 09's teaser came out, it was entirely custom made and contained nothing from or about the movie.
Well, it didn't have any footage from the movie, but it did have brief footage of the new Enterprise.
Teaser trailers often do differ from other movie trailers in that respect -- i.e., teasers often don't contain any film footage, usually because teaser trailers sometimes come out even one year prior to the film's release, and hence, there is no footage to include. Teasers also may contain next-to-nothing about the film's plot.
In the case of this film, there probably is some footage that has already gone through editing that may be included in a teaser -- but I wouldn't be surprised if it is very little to none...
...that's why "Teaser Trailers" are their own separate thing.
Where is the FUCKING TRAILER!!!!
That is all..
Were almost still a year away from release. Very few films get a teaser that far in advance. A few films that are expected to be monsters will get an a very early teaser (see Dark Knight or The Hobbit), but while Trek did very well, its still not a to that level even in the US, let alone globally.
For the 2009 the only reason we got a teaser so early is because it was released before Paramount decided that the film should be shown in the Summer and not Christmas break. Otherwise we would have had to wait another 6 months for that teaser.

Orioles purchase Trachsel's contract
Right-hander expected to play veteran role in young rotation
By Spencer Fordin / MLB.com
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Orioles purchased Steve Trachsel's contract on Thursday, ensuring a veteran hand in the rotation. Trachsel went 6-8 with a 4.48 ERA in 25 starts for Baltimore last season before a late August trade to the Cubs that netted Scott Moore and Rocky Cherry.
Trachsel is expected to join Jeremy Guthrie, Adam Loewen, Daniel Cabrera and either Brian Burres or Matt Albers on Baltimore's starting staff, and he'll start the season with more career wins (141) and losses (154) than the rest of the starters combined. Last year, Trachsel allowed three earned runs or less 17 times for the Orioles.
Baltimore also optioned Jim Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk and announced that Jon Leicester has accepted an assignment to Norfolk. Leicester had been outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier in the week.

... or at least give me all MY data in a SQLite database or something, so I can migrate it?
(Assuming the site goes away, of course)
I dunno about migrating, but, yes, it is in my head that somehow I will make available the important data so people could import it elsewhere.
Maybe a mysqldump of all the stories, journals, discussions, comments, topics, sections, and the users (just the UID and nickname, maybe). Maybe also the friends/foes stuff.
Hi, Pudge. Thanks for running use.perl.org for all these years; it was one of my first introductions to the Perl community.
I'm one of the blogs.perl.org admins, and we'd be very happy to import the existing u.p.o content into b.p.o as a way of keeping it available indefinitely. A dump of the data you mention sounds to me like a good way for us to get started on the import.

AT&T is making some big changes to
the way it charges for data usage with its smartphones. Verizon
CEO Lowell McAdam gave
us a hint of these upcoming changes for its own 4G service last
week (and AT&T has mentioned
it before), but AT&T
is now implementing them across the board on its current 3G network.
AT&T is replacing its current
$30/month unlimited data plan with DataPlus and DataPro. DataPlus
will give users access to 200MB of data a month for only $15/month.
If customers go over the 200MB cap, they will be charged $15 for
another 200MB of data instead of the currently outrageous per/MB
overage charges.
The new top-ranging data plan is called
DataPro and gives users a monthly cap of 2GB for $25/month. Once
customers fly past their monthly cap, AT&T will charge an
additional $10 for another gigabyte of data. For example, if a
customer uses 2.01GB of data, you'll be charged $35.
For those that only use relatively
small amounts of data, but see a spike in usage for some reason, AT&T
makes it easy to switch between the DataPlus and DataPro plans. If
you start off with the DataPlus plan during the month and see that
you are starting to exceed your monthly allotment, you can switch to
DataPro at any time and have the charge pro-rated or have it apply
retroactively to start of your currently active billing cycle.
As for you future iPad owners out
there, the $30 unlimited data plan is also getting axed and replaced
with the $25 DataPro package.
Now before all of AT&T's current
customers start panicking, AT&T is grandfathering in customers
already on the current $30 unlimited data plan. If you would like to
keep using as much data as you want, don't change a thing and go
about your business as usual. You can switch to the DataPlus or
DataPro at any time, but you'll likely lose the ability to ever go
back to the unlimited data plan.
For its part, AT&T feels that these
new plans are better for customers because 65 percent use less than
200MB/month and 98 percent use less than 2GB/month making the lower
pricing more palatable.
"AT&T helps mobilize everything
on the Internet – your favorite web sites, TV shows, music, games
and social networks. Virtually everything previously done while
sitting at a computer can now be done on the go," said Ralph de la
Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "To
give more people the opportunity to experience these benefits, we're
breaking free from the traditional 'one-size-fits-all' pricing
model and making the mobile Internet more affordable to a greater
number of people."
All of the new changes go into effect
June 7.
On a final note, AT&T has also
announced that iPhone users will gain access to tethering with the
release of iPhone OS 4.0. It will be available to DataPro subscribers
for an additional $20/month. In a cruel twist, it appears that the
only way to legally obtain tethering is to go with the DataPro plan –
so if you're currently on an unlimited plan (which lends itself
nicely to tethering) you'll have to switch to the inferior DataPro
plan and never look back.

|North Route
Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2005
|Two months earlier my roommate Gabe and I attempted to go up the north ridge trail, but instead got sidetracked (we followed a cow trail from the paved parking lot instead of driving a bit farther on the dirt road to the north where the trailhead is, and after several hours of bushwhacking were too tired to attempt the summit). I tried finding others to try it again with me, but after 2 months I decided to just do it on my own. I didn't have any snow gear on this solo-hike (a bad idea to be alone in the first place), but everything turned out okay. The views along the north ridge were nice (town of Nephi is 7,500 ft. below), but very different compared to other places in the Wasatch since there are no other mountains of comparable size nearby.
I came back to do the north route again on 9/26/09. See "Last Hike of the Season" trip report for details.

|This is the climb that got me addicted to mountaineering. It's a long climb to the South Summit, but a wicked glissade down is well worth the effort.

|One of the toughest hikes I've ever done. Endless pounding of the legs. I'll take the North route the next time and save 2,000 feet of pounding. Awesome views - a must do for all local peak baggers.

|I know there are a lot of people in Utah who are in awesome shape because of all the outdoor recreation available, but I again have to question their judgment about routes-- how is this a Class 3 route? It's not even 2+ unless you TRY to make it so. Still, good hike with some stunning ridgetop views.

|One of the most beautiful climbs of my life summited in crazy weather after a late (10:00am) start summited in 3 hours with very worrisome clouds through out the day. Allot more people out climbing then I was expecting. All and all super fun route.

|Route Climbed: North Route - Summit Traverse - Andrews Ridge Date Climbed: July 17, 2005, September 10, 2005
|This was a great day. The weather was warm but the wind kept us cool during most of the hike. There was still quite a bit of snow on the ridge but nothing that impeded our progress. The scrambling involved in the traverse of the three summits was very fun. The rock wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

|Fun climb. Beatiful weather and good snow until about 11am - it is definitely spring snowclimbing season!
While the massif ridgeline was really fun, Cedar Ridge was a pain. It was nice to revisit the site of my cornice accident - it was strangely therapeutic.

|Route Climbed: Nebo Loop/ North ridge Date Climbed: September 7, 2003
|I had read a description of the northern ridge route from Gerry Roach, so with a map in hand, I made the easy hike up to the northernmost summit of Mt. Nebo. The trail goes through a shaded forest for a bit before skirting the west slopes of North Peak (not Mt. Nebo) on the way to Wolf Pass. At Wolf Pass, it acends a subpeak and skirts to the West a little more. I found some sharp crappy rock near the top where it was better to avoid backtracking on the trail a little instead of trying to grab anything. The register is a very heavy duty steel box that looks like it can resist the inevitable lightning strike. Some spots immediately below the summit on the North side were a little sloppy because of loose rock, but it wasn't much.

|This is a butt-kickin' hike! Probably didn't help summiting in the middle of the freakin' summer! Awesome views though and well worth the sweat and burning legs!

|Steep trail. Follow knife-edge ridge to summit. Beautiful views the entire way of fall colors. A must do fall hike.

|The weather had been nasty until that morning, so the air was very clear and the views were fantastic. Very enjoyable climb, with cool breezes. It was the second of eight consecutive days climbing 5000-foot+ prominence peaks in Utah and Nevada.

|Had the mountain all to myself on a fine sept day. Saw a badger on the way up, a first for me. The views were outstanding and the north peak is the highest point in Utah county. Elevation gain counting the ups and the downs of both ways is more like 3600 feet.

|Route Climbed: North Route - Andrew's Ridge Date Climbed: July 18th, 2004
|Climbed all three summits from the north and descended Andrew's ridge. The weather was cool, there were high winds, and we had to watch out for thunderstorms, which hit us just as we finished the hike.
The trail was nice and easy - fairly well maintained. The rock was loose, but the views were excellent! I've gotta come back and do this in the winter!

|Route Climbed: South summit Date Climbed: 8/97
|This is a tough day hike. We saw a bald eagle on the south summit and it floated straight up and out of sight. We did not see another soul on the trail all day. Perfect solitude, great friends and a fantastic mountain.
