Version 0.3.0 -------------
- New Front End Interface - Solo Automatic Matchmaking * With one button you can enter the queue for as many different regions as you want and play with random other people automatically. This does not use PSR, it uses SMR (Solo Matchmaking Rating) and everyone starts at 1500. Mode is Banning Pick. * Players tagged as "leavers" can not join Matchmaking * Players who leave a game before it starts (during the 'loading' phase of a game) will automatically be replaced by someone else. * If you leave a Matchmaking game at the hero selection screen, you will get a leave - Tutorial * New ingame interactive Tutorial to help new players learn the basics of the game before diving in. Even experienced players might learn something! - New Player Stats screen * Including your most played heroes! - Hero Compendium * See detailed stats and recommended items about every hero - Ingame Ladder page * Search and filter the ladder to compare yourself to those at the top. Any number of options can be turned on and filtered! - New Game Lobby - New Hero Picking screen * Now with 12 more slots for new heroes! How did we do that?!?
- You can now swap the placement of the minimap from the bottom left to bottom right hand corner - Leaver threshold lowered to 5% - Fix for StatusStealth * This fixed an issue that was causing Witch Slayer and Pollywog Priest's crowd control abilities to dispel all states off the target - Updated br stringtables, thanks to Trilles - Recommended Items Updated - Item cursor now changes to a targeting cursor when hovering over an allied unit - Stacked items (runes of blight, mana potions, health potions) will now sell for their full total value within 15 seconds of purchasing them. (e.g. if you buy two health potions for 200g then sell them within 15sec, you will now correctly gain 200g) - Logger's Hatchet can now be sold within 15 seconds of buying it (but not if you used it) - Added "Host:" and "Version:" to the /gameinfo and /gi commands in game, also added the server version for display in the game lobby screen - Fixed when heroes were 'running in place' after using a Homecoming Stone - Added messages to the game lobby for the following actions: 1) When the host assigns someone as the new host 2) When the host assigns someone as a spectator 3) When the host assigns someone as a referee 4) When the host locks or unlocks a slot - Removed 'remove hero' button in practice mode for now - Tweaked the position of ancients
- Invisible Mode added - Fixed a bug in the game setup interface where referee count was incorrectly being set to the count of spectators chosen - Fixed a bug in the game lobby where the current player count exceeded the max player count in games with spectators(2) and referees(1). e.g. "Players: 13/10". Now shows the correct max player count to match the main lobby game browser numbers. e.g. "Players: 13/13" - Added flood protection to the chat server to protect against invite to clan spam and create clan attempts - Fixed an issue causing the change password functionality in game to not work correctly. - Fixed an issue on the chat server where in certain cases players were not properly being promoted/demoted - Optimized client code so game server refreshes should no longer hang the client or user interface. - Chat channels can now be saved via the interface and will be automatically joined when logging in. - Added new "Ping" filter next to the "Full Games" checkbox. It filters the results on the client so only pings less the chosen number populate the game list - Added a new filter option to the server browser "Game Mode:" section called "Advanced". It allows players to filter multiple game modes (ie. SD, BD, BP) all at once locally in the client. Upon selecting 'Advanced' a small panel pops up and the player can choose the game modes they want to see in the game list just by selecting the appropriate checkbox then clicking OK - Default SFX volume down to 0.6 from 0.7 - Fixed an issue with the chat server where if a user sent a message using /b or /m and someone on one of those lists was in /dnd mode, it wouldn't send the message to all the people on the list. - Overhauled how adding buddies/friends works. You now must request friendship before someone is actually added as your friend. * You can request friends when offline and they will get the notifications upon logging in, and approve at their convenience * We might have to wipe current friends lists at some point in the future for this to work correctly.
- Added new search support for filtering games by name: * Added feature to allow players to type in multiple search phrases. By typing a search phrase and adding a ?|? the client will distinguish one phrase from another. The browser will then search the available games and show any games showing any one of the phrases separated by a "|". * Added feature to allow players to exclude certain games based on the search phrase. By typing in a "-" at the beginning of the search phrase the client will automatically filter any games with "Phrase" to not show up. Note that exclusion of search terms takes precedence over inclusion. (Excluding a term, and then trying to include the same term will cause it not to appear, ie ?noobs|-noobs?) * The "|" and "-" can be escaped with a "\" should the player want to search on a game with the pipe or hyphen in it. * All searches are color and case insensitive, and the order that the search phrases are entered have no effect on how they will display. So "1500|-no ab" is the same as "-no ab|1500".
Some examples: *Search Phrase: "1550|1600|1650|-no ab|-noobs" - This searches on any game with "1550", "1600", and "1650" in the name, and if it has the words "no ab" or "noobs" in it it will not display. *Search Phrase: "-no ab|1500|1550|-countryname|ab" - This searches on any game with "1500", "1550" and "ab" in the name, and if it has the words "no ab" or "countryname" in it it will not display. *Search Phrase: "1500|\-SDEM|pipe\|test" - This searches on any game with "1500", "-sdem" and "pipe|test" in the name.

Proposed Canon
Hits or hit points are a Unit statistic. The term refers to the amount of damage a Unit can receive before it croaks.
Warlords can see the hit points of units under their command.LIAB Text 52
Known Values
- Bogroll - 12
- Jack Snipe - 6
Falling off the tower killed Ansom, a level 10 Chief Warlord, but not Bogroll, a twoll with 12 hits. Did the fall strike less than 12 hits from Bogroll? If Ansom died first, and the ensuing 2 levels gained to Bogroll by his death, gave Bogroll enough additional hits to survive? Source of defense is also important. Ansom's was derived at least partially by armour, which would be a hindrance on landing, whereas Bogroll seems to not wear armour, suggesting his thick skin is providing the defense value. Bogroll may also have had a soft landing on Ansom's (very recently) croaked corpse. Its also noteworthy that Ansom had already received some considerable damages in the battle thus far, so it is likely his hits were lower then they would be when completely healed. It is possible that since Ansom landed first and Bogroll landed on him Ansom took a larger share of the falling damage. Or, falling damage is not determined by hits at all, instead the life or death of each unit being by random chance.

When I started The Sartorialist it was to capture little images like this that would inspire the way I wanted to dress.
I know Lino is on the blog a lot but I think he really deserves it.

A fine example that being cool has nothing to do with age. Everything is old school, but it comes across very modern.
A lovely jacket-tie combination. I like it very much although I wish I could see what kind of shoes he was wearing…
Truly one the most magnificent portraits I've seen on your fine site. Great clothes, great accessories, the hair Donald Trump wishes he had, and a humorous machismo. Makes me want to start smoking again and lay out by the pool!
Is he wearing two watches and a pocket watch?
Is he wearing a watch on both wrists AND a pocket watch?
in the close-up the patterns of the shirt and tie seem too similar, but in the bottom pic (perhaps because of the grey trousers?) they work fine. it's a great ensemble, rife with terrific little details – understated yet very cool. great eye as usual, scott.
i´ve seen him several times, he uses bracelets but one watch, an he wears double strap monk shoes
he is wearing a leather bracelet,one watch and the chain is a moneyclip.
Great jacket/tie/shirt combo.
I think it is a watch on the right wrist, and a bracelet on the left. My guess is that the chain is ornamental, and that there is no pocketwatch.
The plaid necktie works with the plaid jacket because the jacket pattern is so fine. But, for me, it makes the outfit beg for a bit more color. I'd go with either blue slacks, or else a colorful tie or pocket square.
The star of the outfit is truly the jacket. It's rocking. Ticket pocket, pick stitch lapels, working buttons on the sleeves. To top it all off, I think those are real horn buttons on the jacket. Just super.
dear sartorialist, this tie knot and cut away collar is beautiful, could you do a series on knots and collars, for different tie shirt combinations,
i would so greatly appreciate it
thank you
Looks like a watch, bracelet and a wallet chain to me?
nice work…
style icon. period.
No complaints here! A man who dresses this well deserves to be shown as much as possible. Mr. Cortina falls into that catagory too.
Love the double-breasted jacket!
I am afraid that I always have the feeling that Lino is trying too hard to set a trend. Gianni Agnelli and Diego Della Valle always had/have an effortless style, trying to impress nobody but themselves. Lino (IMHO) always looks as if he is a little too desperate to become a style icon. His habit of only buckling the lower of the two buckles on his shoes just looks too contrived, as if he has practiced for hours before a mirror in an attempt to invent his own Agnelliism that he hopes will catch on amongst the cool Milan set. The guy has a lot of style, I just think that he would look cooler if he didn't try so hard.
Great combinations of grey and pulled off as an entire package.
Lino is pure, unadulterated relaxed elegance epitomized. Even while striking a pose, he never comes off contrived. This is a master veteran here. The monochromatic palette and subtle play on classic patterns is awesome. Striking gentlemanly style. Love.
He always looks great, but I get the impression that he might be alittle insane.
Reminds me of that Purple Label advertisement for Ralph Lauren last year, only with that extra touch of Lino's
I always thought I wanted to be cary Grant. But now I know that I always wanted to be Lino!
this makes me so happy. reminds me of images i formed in my head reading all the British murder mysteries i did growing up. what a great character. i love the swinging look of the suit jacket and the colors and the hanging chain and the buttons
its the little things that count, honestly.
This man is too cool. I dig the palette and the jacket and tie. If his shoes are of suede or are monk straps, he is super-stellar. I cannot resist, Sart–what kind of shoes did he have?–HB
Reminds me of my uncle Louie who used to hang out in front of 'the deli' that had only one rotisserie chicken for sale.
I know personally LINO being his client in his shop "At Bazaar Milan and I must say that like good wine improves ageing a hello to all by Max
no doubt he is a true ambassador of style and cool.
the plaid on plaid works, another general "rule" shown to be untrue.
But shouldn't the tie have a bigger knot with that cutaway/spread collar?
I don't think that there's anything about Lino that says he's trying too hard. In fact, the less buckling and buttoning, the less effort goes into the dressing ;)
Now consider the skirts a few back. Look at all the folding, drawstrings, intricate knots and so forth! Talk about looking in the mirror for hours… ("now…how the f am i supposed to keep this damn thing on?")
These are conscious decisions to be sure. I doubt either Lino or the skirts would say that they "forgot" to buckle their shoes that morning or "forgot" to put on pants instead of a skirt that morning.
Bottom line: Lino may look like a jerk, but he looks like a jerk you want to pound grappa with and then hit the town. All I can think about with the skirts is soy frappuccinos and maybe an early yoga session before bed.
Eh, to each his own! The world would be such a boring place if we were all naked!
I like the spread collar with the double-breasted coat. It's new meets old.
What a hot look.
Most of us look splendid now and then, but looking good every day is not easy. So I feel like there is a lot to learn from seeing someone who always looks great more than once on this blog. It is encouraging
La classe Ă l'italienne !!
Inspiring photograph, I'd say so…
i cant get enough of lino!
if you remember, i'm interested to know what kind of shoes he was wearing…
Wow, is that Valentino Garavani's late twin? Fabulous!
This guy never ceases to amaze me with his classic simplicity. Three watches. Either he needs to know the time in three time zones or he is getting his Flavor Flav on. "Telling us what time it is" (Stylewise)
The way he combines patterns is great!
The Detailed stitching and folding on the lapel.
The fit of jacket On his shirt collar,The length and way at which left lapel crosses Right.
The white in his shirt and pocket square balance the greyness
Not buttoning the the lower button give Just right look to jacket
Look at the Fold on his pants.
and above all Face of a man who has seen Fashion Trends come and go :)
Can't wait to visit AL BAZAR
I dig the arrangement: the impressive combo of tie knot and the cut-away collar; the combined patterns, plus glasses and steve mcqueen expression adds to the "complicated made to look effortless" gesture.
love the double breasted suit jacket- I forgot how, if done well and with proportion, it can be a very good look. What makes it is the way he pairs it with tonal, but not matching, suit pants!
For some reason I strongly dislike his hair and it distracts me from taking the rest of his look seriously. Perhaps Donald Trump is to blame.

Kurt Balderston asked this past summer. Cheryl Bernard said yes, quickly.
The Calgary resident indicated that she would love to participate in the Canadian mixed curling championship — and play third — for Grande Prairie's Balderston, who'd won the provincial title by beating Bernard.
"I was really happy and surprised (by the invitation) because there's a lot of players in Alberta to ask," Bernard said Monday. "They gave me a call and I didn't hesitate for a second. Any chance you can get to play in a Canadian championship, I can't imagine you'd ever turn it down.
"It's a really good opportunity with a really good team."
With Balderston's regular third, Desiree Owen expecting and unavailable for nationals, the battle-savvy Bernard had been the ideal fill-in candidate. Rounding out the Alberta quartet are second Del Shaughnessy and lead Stephanie Malekoff.
"Mostly it's the people — they are three of the nicest people," Bernard said about the upside of the trip east. "I have a lot of respect for Kurt and his curling abilities. Del and Steph are just amazing people and talented players. It's a neat opportunity. There's not many times in your curling career that you can do something different. So for me to go play third and sweep, it's a new challenge and I'm always up for that kind of thing.
"It's a different thing — not skipping — so you get a bit of a mental break. It's a change of scenery. And it's exciting to try something new."
With her highly touted women's team off for a week — the foursome took a pass on the upcoming Grand Slam stop, The Masters in Brantford, Ont. — Bernard leaves Friday morning for Montreal. The Albertans open Sunday — and, as third, she knows she'll be broom-busy.
"Yeah," Bernard said, chuckling. "I'm laughing because it's two games a day, 10-end games, and sweeping for a week, so it should be interesting. I'm going to be looking for a masseuse in Montreal."
She's looking forward to getting to Montreal, period.
It's her first visit.
"I've heard so many good things about it," said Bernard. "For the girls, we're excited to shop a little."
But this isn't Bernard's first trip to Canada's mixed showcase.
In 1993, with Terry Meek skipping and the rink capturing provincials, they'd competed for national bragging rights. The Albertans finished second, losing the final to Saskatchewan.
Getting another crack at it — 20 years later — comes at a cost.
"It does make a long haul for me," said Bernard. "Our (women's) team had just done seven events in a row, took one weekend off, then did two more. So that's nine events, but now the girls get a couple weekends off. But I'm doing 10, 11, then we go to Lloydminster — so 12 weekends, gone. So that's the only (bad) thing about it — a lot of time away."

Rep. Anthony Weiner asserts that his Twitter account was hacked to send a lewd picture to a young Seattle undergraduate. The New York Post arrives today with a story that provides the salient details in mercifully abbreviated form in its "Weiner roast" cover story.
Glenn Reynolds has provided so many Weinergate updates that I'm beginning to suspect he enjoys the story, as I do, although it's a guilty pleasure, at least in my case. One of Glenn's Weinergate updates brings a scandalmeister's Occam's razor to the case: Lee Stranahan proposes the "Would your spouse buy it?" test. He thinks Weiner's explanation fails the test rather dramatically.
Stranahan's is not a bad test, but I have one of my own that runs slightly counter to it, if only superficially. My own interpretive key to these scandals is whether the politician has appeared in public with the demonstrative support of his wife. Weiner also fails my test. In another of Glenn's Weinergate updates, the New York Daily News publishes a photograph of Weiner out for a walk, holding hands with his wife, Huma Abedin.
I don't want to be rash, but that photograph is a dead giveaway. In terms of persevering in the face of the scandal, however, Weiner has something important going for him. He's a Democrat.

I rarely have the occasion to ride public transportation, other than airlines, and so it was revealing to board a clean, smooth-riding Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Co. bus last week for transportation to Hyannis from Logan Airport -- then a discomfiting ride home in a taxi stinking of stale cigarette smoke.
I rarely have the occasion to ride public transportation, other than airlines, and so it was revealing to board a clean, smooth-riding Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Co. bus last week for transportation to Hyannis from Logan Airport -- then a discomfiting ride home in a taxi stinking of stale cigarette smoke.The American Airlines flight from Mexico to Miami was fine and timely, allowing nearly three hours to connect with the Boston leg. But, three hours is not enough time in these days of universal fear. Two more minutes and the Hub flight would have gone wheels up without me.In Miami, you are processed with the huddled masses via a maze of chutes with signs and arrows pointing every which way. With but little imagination, you could conjure up the image of Chicago's infamous turn-of-the-century stockyards where cattle were mercilessly shaken from the tree of life and, in the process, the abused labor pool dehumanized.The only thing missing at Miami International Airport on this day was the bellowing. I wondered how many anxious souls would join in a chorus if I began to "moo " in mournful complaint as we were herded through passport scrutiny, then to customs, then to baggage claim, then dragging the baggage to x-ray beds, kids crying, old folks limping and wheezing, then shuffling off with the carry-ons to the longest, most humiliating exercise of all -- the dread security check.Its hard for you to keep a straight face when, already shoeless, a comely young African-American woman in a well-fitting uniform smiles at you after you've beeped in the security portal and orders you to remove the belt from your pants -- meaning of course that you have to extend your tucked in midsection to its normal expansion lest your pants fall down - thus revealing your true physique. Hoo boy!For mechanical reasons, the Miami to Boston flight was nearly an hour delayed and the idea of catching the 7:45 bus to Hyannis was abandoned. But baggage claim went swiftly and by 7:44 a chance look outside revealed, to my gleeful surprise. a nearby bus with its sign proclaiming "Hyannis. " I frantically waved it down.At the first stop at South Station, I knew this was my kind of driver. After assorted passengers boarded, he laid down the law, explaining that some people like to sleep or read on the ride home and that he wouldn't tolerate long cell-phone conversations by people making "big stock deals, " etc., or loud music.There followed a few good-natured threats about evicting scofflaws and a smattering of playful banter and repartee between himself and the passengers, some of whom, I deduced, were "regulars. " He took care of them, stopping a few times in the Sagamore park-and-drive to let passengers off near their cars parked in the snow.Surprisingly, some seven or eight passengers boarded at the Route 132 parking lot in West Barnstable for the short ride to Hyannis. One was a Portuguese speaking young man with a cell phone, the modern mixed-blessing tech toy, while another was a cantankerous old coot, the mix, as it turned out, producing the charged aura of incompatibility.The young man used the phone as he sat down and began speaking excitedly and loudly into it as though he were alone at home, provoking the Honorable Mr. Coot to begin voicing loud and snide remarks about cell phone use in general, particularly by "illegal aliens, " a totally uncalled for addendum.Thus alerted, the driver repeated the cell phone rule and the young man quickly hung up. There was peace in the Plymouth and Brockton Valley again.Then came the taxi ride home. Pathetic. An overpowering odor of stale tobacco hung in it like a Cape Cod fog, causing an urge to gag and leaving the impression that the vehicle was somehow dirty.The cabbie managed to stretch a 3-minute ride into more than double the time by using various and obvious devices, such as choosing the way with the most stop lights, thus feeding the meter to more than $7 for a mile-long fare.I'll happily ride Plymouth and Brockton again. But next time I'll accept the offers from friends to collect me at the bus station before I ride another taxi in Hyannis.

text: Hi, I'm the creator of ClusterNFS. Yes, it does have a memory leak. In the enviroement where I was using it, the leak was slow enough that I didn't realize that it was occuring for some time. Restarting ClusterNFS once a day was enough to resolve our problem. ClusterNFS hasn't seen any changes in the last few months because I was busy trying to complete my PhD. Now that I've graduated, I'm in a new job where I don't (yet?) have time to do anything with ClusterNFS (or anything else beowulfish, either). At least in the short term, ClusterNFS needs a new maintainter. Anyone care to volonteer? I'll be happy to explain how ClusterNFS differs from the standard NFS server (it's just a small patch to the standard NFS sources), or to answer other questions. -Greg > -----Original Message----- > From: Bjoern Rabenstein [mailto:rabe at chemie.fu-berlin.de] > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 9:30 AM > To: Beowulf Mailinglist > Subject: Memory leak in cluster NFS > > > We just have tried ClusterNFS (http://ClusterNFS.sourceforge.net ). > We observe a significant memory leakage.

But I am wondering why the memory leak was discovered so late. (The current release of ClusterNFS is from November last year.)

|Frequently Asked Questions
We answer e-mails almost every day, and answer many questions time and time again. Please see most of the common questions that we answer in the faq. If your question is not answered here, please contact us!
Is the green life juicer good at juicing fruits? If Im juicing fruits and veggies in the green life juicer, do I need the fruit attachment?
We don't recommend the green life for juicing mostly fruits. Its designed to juice mostly leafy vegetables. While it will juice hard apples, (we recommend hard Fuji apples), most other soft fruits will back up the machine... Fruits have a real SOFT consistency, and will back up the machine. REASON: the green life unit REQUIRES hard fiber to push the pulp through the machine, without it, it will back up. When juicing apples, we recommend a hard apple, such as a Fuji.

New legislation went into effect Tuesday in Florida that prohibits texting while driving.
The Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law mandates that a person "may not operate a motor vehicle while manually typing or entering multiple letters, numbers, symbols, or other characters into a wireless communications device or while sending or reading data on such a device for the purpose of non-voice interpersonal communication," which includes texting, e-mailing and instant messaging.
"It specifically prohibits texting and driving," Sgt. Dana Coston, spokesman for the Cape Coral Police Department, said. "But, it also provides for several instances where a person can use their device."
Some exemptions to the law include emergency personnel who are on duty, when reporting an emergency or criminal activity, to receive texts for emergency related information, like traffic and weather updates and using the device as a mapping system or GPS system, among other things.
"They're trying to be a little more forward thinking," he said.
A secondary violation, motorists cannot be stopped solely for texting and driving.
"For many years, our seat belt law was a secondary offense," Coston said.
For example, if a police officer observed a motorist weaving or operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner, it would be probable cause to conduct a traffic stop. If the motorist is also observed texting while driving, the officer can cite the driver for the primary violation and texting while driving.
It is a $30 fine for a first offense.
On Tuesday, the Cape police reminded people of the new law via social media Web sites.
The department will conduct an educational enforcement of the new law - handing out verbal and written warnings to motorists caught in violation instead of tickets - for at least the next month.
"It's just going to be a matter of slowly educating the public," he said.
The CCPD also recently received a $5,000 grant from the Florida Department of Health's Injury Prevention Program to conduct an informational campaign for the public on the new law.
"Distracted driving is bad, so we're happy that there's something on the books," Coston said.
The openness of the law, however, leaves some gray area.
"It's going to be interesting to see how these cases play out in court," he said.
The new law's effect on future injuries and fatalities due to distracted driving is also unclear.
"I'd love to say this is going to have an immediate measurable impact," Coston said. "I think this is going to be one of those things where we'll have to wait and see."
Some, however, were already predicting Tuesday that the law will have little effect.
"It's the issue of enforceability," Jay Anderson, executive director of Stay Alive ... Just Drive!, said.
"I think law enforcement officers are going to be hesitant to write the citations based on the burden of proof," he said, noting that officers have to make the determination whether drivers were texting. "All I have to do is say I was dialing a phone number."
"I think law enforcement officers are going to be hesitant to write the citations based on the burden of proof," he said, noting that the officer has to make the determination whether the driver was texting or not. "Unfortunately, there's no way to prove it - all I have to do is say I was dialing a phone number."
A non-moving violation with a small fine, Anderson said most people will likely just pay the fine.
"My advice to law enforcement right now is issue them the citation," he said.
Anderson explained that for drivers wanting to contest the citation in court, they should be required to bring in proof via cell phone records or such that they were not on the phone or texting at the time.
About 10 states have banned the use of cell phones all together, unless used with a hands-free device.
"This thing has no teeth," he said of the new Florida law.
"It's taken six years to get this watered down legislation," Anderson added.
He, however, referred to the legislation as "baby steps."
"I think the thing most disappointing is it doesn't allow law enforcement to do their job," Anderson said.
Stay Alive ... Just Drive! is a crash prevention, education and awareness program aimed at promoting safe driving and curbing distracted driving. For more information, visit online at: www.sajd.org.

Last week one of Ireland's Rio 2016 campaigns, Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern launched their 2013 sailing season with style winning Gold at the Sail for Gold Regatta in Weymouth, UK. This week, with no time to relish the glory, the duo will once again face off against some of the finest 49er class sailors as they compete at Kiel Week in Germany.
Racing will begin on Saturday (22nd June) with organisers aiming for a total of 19 races over the five days. The Northern Irish pair will have gained confidence from their recent victory but bigger prizes are on the horizon. Seaton and McGovern will use Kiel Week predominately as a training regatta, honing their skills, because immediately afterwards they will travel to Aarhus in Denmark for the 49er European Championships. There they will, for the first time since the 2012 Games, compete against some of their fiercest adversaries from Australia and New Zealand.
Joining his fellow ISA Olympic teammates at Kiel Week will be Laser sailor James Espey. This will be the final regatta of the season for the 29 year old who has already competed at events in Spain, France and the UK this spring / summer. Meanwhile in the new Olympic 49er FX female class, newcomers to the Olympic campaign trail Tiffany Brien and Saskia Tidey will also compete in Kiel ahead of their European Championship debut in Denmark next week.
Irish Sailing Association (ISA) Performance Director James O'Callaghan commented "The teams are primarily focused on preparing for the Europeans. If we get a result it is a bonus but it is of secondary importance this week".

Microarray Analysis of Scalp Biopsies After Minoxidil Treatment

|Condition or disease
|Androgenetic Alopecia
|Drug: Minoxidil Other: Placebo
|Not Applicable
The most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia (AGA), also known as male pattern balding, or hereditary thinning. In AGA, there is a gradual transformation of large terminal hair follicles to miniaturized ones under the influence of circulating androgens that produce smaller and finer hairs with a shorter anagen cycle. This transformation, which can be seen as early as the prepubescent years, occurs only in certain regions of the scalp: the frontal hairline, top and vertex scalp. The temporo-occipital region is largely unaffected even in those with extensive balding.
The first drug to be approved for the FDA for the treatment of AGA was topical minoxidil solution (TMS). Despite its successful use, the mechanism of action of TMS is not well understood. Minoxidil is a potent vasodilator and potassium channel opener, but its mechanism of action in promoting hair regrowth appears to be independent of its vasodilation properties. Improved knowledge of the changes in gene expression associated with AGA before and after treatment with TMS and compared to placebo may lead to a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action of TMS. Furthermore, there is potential for identification of those patients who would best respond to or benefit from treatment.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (12-11, 8-8 PBC) came up short against Columbus State University (15-9, 11-6 PBC) Saturday afternoon, 70-60. After trailing big early, the Bobcats would outscore the Cougars 42-33 in the second half.
The Bobcats fell behind early 21-7 in the first 10 minutes and then trailing 37-18 at the half. The offense would come alive in the second half as Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) scored 16 of her 20 points in that frame. She also pulled down 10 rebounds, giving the sophomore her first double-double as a Bobcat.
Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) finished the game with 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting. Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.) had a season-high eight points off the bench, also adding five rebounds and two assists.
The Cougars were led by Kiersten Reid with 17 points. Reid was 5-of-13 from the field, with all her baskets coming from behind the arc. Asha Alexander led the team in rebounds with eight and also added six assists. Marina DeFoor had an economical 12 points, coming on 4-of-5 shooting, all from downtown.
The Bobcats continued to struggle from behind the arc, as they shot 2-of-8 and have not bested their season average of 5.2 since Feb. 2 when they played the Cougars at the Centennial Center. Overall the Bobcats shot 22-of-52 from the field compared to the 23-of-59 for the Cougars, but the Cougars shot 11-of-23 from downtown.
The Bobcats out-rebounded the Cougars 40-34 but Georgia College only had nine assists, the first time they didn't finish in double digits since Jan. 24 against USC Aiken.
Georgia College returns to the court Saturday, Feb. 23 at 3:30 p.m. when they welcome the University of Montevallo to the Homecoming matchup at the Centennial Center.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

The usual argument is that so what if the computational efficiency is lower, Moore's law means that raw computing horsepower gets cheaper so fast, it's better to be able to code "something" that works quickly, saving money on expensive software weenies... (You can buy a lot of computers for the $250K/yr a body costs you) And this works if you are only going to run that task once. Once you start doing it over, and over, and over again, (or the task gets *very* large, computationally), then more efficient languages start to be more important. Compare the Matlab/FORTRAN dichotomy... Matlab: interactive, easy to develop numerical algorithms, not a ball of fire speed wise, but typically you spend more thinking time than cpu time. FORTRAN: batchey, constrained syntax and programming model, real fast on numerical problems. >And then, as you note, there are really different languages -- APL, >LISP, TCL, mathematica, python, perl -- languages where one "can" often >program anything you like, but where the language itself is very, very >far from the machine code produced and very, very difficult to optimize.

Pointers? Anathema! I'll bet you even do things like topological sorts and other stuff out of Knuth, instead of nice clean matrix math. If you don't know how big your arrays are and how many you need before you start, then you don't understand your problem well enough. Dynamic allocation is a sign of weak will, or worse.

Water/oil mixture on Earth and in microgravity
In September 2006, school pupils will have the opportunity to conduct scientific research with ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter. Reiter is carrying out the same experiment in space as pupils are performing in class. DLR's Space Agency developed a special instrument for this educational experience as part of ESA's Astrolab mission.
The experiment centres around a double-walled Plexiglass cube containing a water/oil mixture (emulsion) and is easy to reproduce in the classroom. After the emulsion has been shaken up, the children can observe how the water and oil first mix together and then separate again. They then have to formulate a hypothesis as to how the emulsion would behave in zero gravity and give a reason for their theory.
The Plexiglass cube was transported to the International Space Station on 24 June 2006 by the Russian cargo ship Progress M-57, along with other supplies. The US Space Shuttle Discovery, which carried Thomas Reiter to the ISS to take up his role as the third permanent crew member, docked yesterday at 16:52 CEST, barely two days after launching, bringing the experimenter safely to the experiment.
During September 2006, the 'Oil Emulsion' experiment will be carried out in schools throughout Germany. ZDF tivi, a show for kids and teenagers broadcast by German channel and official media partner Zweite Deutsche Fernsehen, will broadcast coverage of the experiment. ZDF tivi will report on programmes like the kids' news programme logo! Viewers can watch the result of the experiment, including Thomas Reiter's own video recordings in space, on ZDF tivi on 23 September 2006. Then all the school pupils involved can see whether their hypothesis was right.
If you would like to take part in the experiment, you can find more information at http://www.school-in-space.de/. Back in June, teachers at all secondary schools in Germany received the necessary material for carrying out the experiment in class and a unique code for each school to access the teachers' pages at http://www.school-in-space.de/.

Andy Turner, myself, Paul Diffley, Ed Drummond and Oilver Hill at the Long Hope premiere, KMF. Photo: Henryiddon.com
It was a nice atmosphere at the premiere of the film about the Longhope Route in Kendal on Friday night. Ed Drummond was on good form to say a few words after the film and it was cool to have 5 of the 6 people who have climbed that route in our various different styles in one place. Thanks to folks who voted for it and gave it the people's choice award of the Kendal festival. DVD's are still being made but will be with us soon. Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered so far.
It's a strange experience presenting a film of a climb like this. For the audience, it's the first time they've been able to see the story really get a feel for this climb. For me, it's really the end of the process. I was sitting watching it with everyone else, feeling happy with my memories of that cliff. But they are just that - memories. The only meaning it has for me is contained within the film; that watching it will motivate others to have good adventures of their own.
Since climbing the route in June, I've been doing some basic training, and doing a lot of work (as in bill paying work) to set myself up for next years adventures. I have the restlessness to find new things again! Some projects, like those around my home area of Glen Nevis will come down to training and dedication. There are also some fantastic onsight climbs I'd like to try this winter. After last winter's time out with an impending new baby I'm looking forward to learning to use the ice axe again. I'll need to start from a low base, which is always great fun to just enjoy repeating others routes for a little bit.
First though, I have one more week of work, coaching abroad, exploring some untouched limestone. I'll post up some pictures...

BAFTA for The Great Climb
The Great Climb programme just won a Scottish BAFTA for live event coverage last night. I'm well chuffed that the effort that went into the programme from a lot of people was obviously appreciated and it's nice to see it have recognition. It was a fine effort from Triple Echo Productions to attempt another live climbing broadcast, and pull it off after the frustrations of previous attempts.
Folk were asking on my lecture tour last week if there is still anywhere you can get hold of a copy of the programme. The DVD is right here.
I've also been asked loads if there are any more televised climbing programmes in the pipeline. I mentioned the other week about the Stac of Handa re-enactment that is showing on Nov 22nd (7pm BBC2 Scotland, iPlayer). There is a wee trailer up on the BBC site for this here.

Long Hope DVD available for pre-order
The Long Hope DVD is now up in the shop for pre-order.
The master disc is off to the DVD manufacturers and DVD stock usually takes a couple of weeks or so to be manufactured. If you did manage to get tickets to the premiere in Kendal before it sold out, we are hoping to have a handful of advance copies there but if you don't make it to that, pre-ordering it now will mean you'll get it the fastest way possible. We'll dispatch orders for it as soon as we get hold of the stock.
A lot of folk ask for their DVD signed, which is no problem of course! Just ask in the 'special instructions' field of the checkout form.
The running time of the film is 60 minutes and there are lots of extra films on the DVD: My ascent of Indian Face, Mucklehouse Wall on Hoy and naturally, The Old Man of Hoy.
It's in the shop here.

Tip Juice in the shop
I've just added the new Tip Juice balm to the webshop. Most keen climbers these days doing a lot of sport climbing or bouldering are using a skin balm to help speed the recovery of fingertip skin for the next session. In the damp climate of western Scotland I don't find I need to use it every session to keep my finger creases from cracking. But on a trip to somewhere with a dry climate such as sport climbing in Spain I'll use it every day. It goes without saying that if you have a split tip or a cut from a sharp hold on your fingers you'll need to use a balm like this daily to help it heal in the quickest possible time and prevent it going to a deep crack that will bother you for ages.
Tip Juice is a new balm developed by an Aberdeen team of boulderers. They took a long time to perfect it and I think they've done a nice job. You can find it in the shop here together with the ingredients list.

Longhope DVD is not far away
We've just finished arranging the DVD artwork for the Long Hope film which may be finished by the time you read this and off to the DVD manufacturers. Paul Diffley has been doing sterling work editing it and must have earned a beer or three at Kendal after the premiere. Speaking of the premiere at Kendal - it's already sold out! So if you want to be there, your only chance now is to enter the Mountain Equipment competition to win tickets for it. All you have to do is leave a comment here.
For those of you who don't get tickets, the DVD will be out when it comes back from the manufacturers and we'll put it up for pre-order in the shop soon so watch this space.
The film is looking really great, although I would say that. I reckon it almost makes you want to go and climb a fulmar infested loose big wall sea cliff in the middle of nowhere. Extras on the DVD include the film of my ascent of The Indian Face (E9), Mucklehouse Wall (E5 5c, 5c, 6a) on Hoy and of course our ascent of the Old Man of Hoy.
Other things coming up - The Stac of Handa re-enactment I shot the other week with the BBC has a provisional slot on BBC2 Scotland/iPlayer as an Adventure Show special on Nov 22nd at 19.00.

Perfect day in Torridon
After coming home from my lecture tour I've had a familiar feeling of being a little burnt out. This happens to me every year really, I cram as much work as I can into the west highland monsoon season - lectures, writing, coaching, events, film work etc. By the end of it, I'm always rather impatient for the calmness of just going to an empty highland glen and climbing some nice rock on my own.
I'm not naturally cut out for being on stage every night, and much as enjoy sharing the stories and meeting great people, I need some balance after many weeks of it.
So after a week of sorting out so many loose ends at home, the autumn monsoon finally broke to sunny gold coloured mountains, and I got to enjoy two great bouldering sessions. I can't tell you how much of a lift it is to spend time on real rock in a nice place after so much time indoors.
First off I found some killer new beta on a tough project in Glen Nevis. One that will take a while, even with a clever trick of the foot on the crux. Today, the north west seemed to be the place to be and I scooted up for an afternoon on the simply superb boulders in Glen Torridon. I noticed that visiting Sheffield bouldering specialist Dan Varian, one of the strongest men in our isles at present, had added a few hard problems here in the spring that sounded great.
I went up to check out a lovely arete called Stokes Croft, given about 8A. I enjoyed it a lot. Perfect holds, perfect conditions. The only thing not in perfect condition was me, still feeling decidedly sluggish from one of those nagging colds that seems to keep coming back. But as soon as I arrived at the problem, the sniffles and sighs melted away and I had the moves worked out in twenty minutes and then climbed it first redpoint. It's probably more like 7C+ but it was still a lovely change to just go and repeat something that was all cleaned up and ready. I've spent a lot of time cleaning dirty rock this year!
Wee clip of this above. These last two sessions have fully redoubled keenness for the bouldering season, and for training training TRAINING!!!

New route in Peak Cavern
Pitch 1 (wet 7c+) of Ring of Fire during the first ascent in Peak Cavern. All pics Triple Echo Productions.
The other shoot I just finished with Triple Echo for the BBC was even weirder than the Handa adventure! The director Richard Else managed to get special permission to climb in the show cave Peak Cavern near Castleton right in the middle of the Peak District. The idea was for myself and Alan Cassidy to see if we could find a route out of it!
The other shoot I just finished with Triple Echo for the BBC was even weirder than the Handa adventure! The director Richard Else managed to get special permission to climb in the show cave Peak Cavern near Castleton right in the middle of the Peak District. The idea was for myself and Alan Cassidy to see if we could find a route out of it!
Peak Cavern, otherwise known as 'The Devil's Arse' is one of the biggest and most impressive limestone crags in the Peak. In a region where every other inch of rock has a route on it, it's pretty amazing that there are no free routes on this crag at all. It comes down to access. The crag has been banned for climbing forever as it's a tourist attraction on private land - paying public walking around below climbs etc. Of course it's a massive shame since I'm certain a way round it could be found with the help of the BMC. The cave is only open to the public until 5pm and then it's locked. Climber's lock-in? Sadly I don't think a change is likely any time soon. We appealed as best we could.
Anyway, we enjoyed our special permission while we had it, in the name of making BBC television. But first we spent two days a bit further north climbing an even sillier cave. The team wanted to see if we could climb our way out of a proper Yorkshire Pot Hole - Jingling Pot. A 60m tubular soaking wet pitch black slimy hole in the ground. Alan and myself didn't have the faintest idea how to tackle it. I started off climbing in winter boots and gloves which was a mistake and I quickly switched to rockboots even through the water was running down it, over the green slime. I thought back to a day last year climbing Pleasure Done (E3) in Pembroke with Tim Emmett in the rain. That was surprisingly amenable and the limestone had a weird friction even though it was soaking. Jingling might be just like that, but with a headtorch on?! It turned out to be a wee bit harder than that, but we had a great time and emerged squinting in the daylight after one of our stranger days out climbing.
After that we headed to the main event at Peak Cavern. Where Jingling Pot felt about E3 in the wet, Peak Cavern looked about 9c! The cave went in for over 100 metres. It also looked like any route there would take a lot of cleaning since the cave roof had hundreds of years worth of soot from the troglodytes who used to live there. With 4 days to do a route, we opted for a nice looking line going up a 45 degree wall then crossing the full length of the side wall and some roofs to gain a crack system in the headwall. It looked like it would go in about 4 pitches!
Back on dry rock on the superb pitch 3 (7b+)
After a hardcore couple of days with the hilti and wire brush, It looked amazing: 7c+, 7a, 7b+, 7b. Only one problem, the first pitch would be 7c+ if it was dry. But it was completely soaking and all the holds were full of slimy wet mud - proper caving style! At least Keith's floodlights made it feel slightly more like a crag than a hole in the ground. I had a couple of tries, sliding about all over the place. It was actually better not to use chalk for most of the first pitch, it only made your hands feel slimier.

Alan cruising pitch 2 (7a)
Next morning I set off again. I could see that slipping off could happen on any move, so why worry about any of them? I just kept creeping across the traverse, unexpectedly scrapping my way through to the stance, and we could enjoy the remaining spectacular pitches through the roofs and headwall. What shall we call it? Has to be 'Ring of Fire'! My first new routes in Yorkshire and the Peak -what a weird week!

Alan enjoying the fantastic headwall on pitch 4 (7b). The programme will be coming to a TV screen near you sometime next year. I'll let you know when it's scheduled.

Many Facebook users received an email notice last night about a pending settlement in a class action lawsuit against the company.
This is the same email that went out to some Facebook users last week, but we wanted to mention it again in case there was any confusion.
The suit says Facebook used users' photos and other information without their permission to display sponsored stories, a form of advertising in your News Feed. That's a big no-no, according to the suit.
Here's an excerpt of the email some Facebook users got last night:
The Action claims that Facebook unlawfully used the names, profile pictures, photographs, likenesses, and identities of Facebook users in the United States to advertise or sell products and services through Sponsored Stories without obtaining those users' consent. Facebook denies any wrongdoing and any liability whatsoever. No court or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any liability.
If you got the email, it's likely your profile information was used in sponsored story.
So here's what you can do to get your payday. Go to the Facebook settlement page and fill out a claim form. If the suit is successful, you can get as much as $10, which is enough to buy you a Starbucks latte and half a muffin.
Filling out the form is no guarantee you'll see the cash. The entire settlement is for $20 million, and if too many people file a claim, all that money will go to charity instead. Don't get greedy.
