The Galiani brothers step down. Gene LaMott steps up.
VENICE, Calif. — The brothers behind the 1999 acquisition of Gold's Gym have relinquished their management positions with the company. Kirk and John Galiani — CEO/president and president of corporate development, respectively — will remain on the board of Gold's Gym International (GGI) as the company's largest individual shareholders, but they have given up their executive roles. Instead, they will now concentrate on building and running clubs.
Peter Brockway — managing partner with Brockway Moran & Partners (Boca Raton, Fla.), the investment firm that funded the Gold's Gym acquisition — said that the decision to move out of day-to-day operations was a "mutual agreement" between his firm and the Galianis. He added that the brothers are very good at developing clubs, evidenced by the fact that, prior to the acquisition, they built up the G Group, a successful group of Gold's Gyms in the Washington, D.C. area.
Kirk Galiani told Club Industry that John and he had been thinking about the move for six months. They wanted to give up the demands of executive positions so they could spend more time with their families — and more time working to build and develop clubs.
"When you get home at 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock at night, and you see your kids for half an hour, it's not real good," Kirk said. "And for me, it was always more fun opening up clubs, being with the members — that was what really drove me, made me get up in the morning every day."
With Kirk and John leaving GGI's executive team, COO Gene LaMott has been named president and CEO. LaMott had been a Gold's Gym franchisee in Portland, Ore., before selling his clubs to 24 Hour Fitness and becoming a divisional president of that chain. He returned to Gold's Gym in 2000 when he was hired as chief operating officer, a position that will not be filled now that he has been promoted.
LaMott told Club Industry that he admired the job the Galianis did during their two-year tenure. They educated investors about the Gold's Gym parent company, rolled the G Group into GGI corporate, assembled a professional management team, repositioned the Gold's Gym brand, expanded internationally, and grew the number of franchised and company-owned Gold's Gym locations. Plus GGI put together a number of licensing deals with the likes of ICON, a manufacturer of consumer fitness equipment.
In their new roles, Kirk and John have signed agreements to develop clubs in key areas for GGI. "They are going to use us on helping them with certain core business ventures, as well as I'll be working on some of the acquisitions and some of the greenfields," Kirk said.
"Our hope is that they continue to grow clubs and develop them, so that we can turn around and make them part of the parent company as they mature," LaMott said.
Indeed, growth seems to be a major strategy for GGI. Despite slumping economic conditions, the company remains strong, according to LaMott. He claimed that GGI is forecasting growth of 49 percent for 2001, compared to 2000. This growth includes the company's three sections: corporately owned clubs, franchising and product licensing.
With this type of growth expected for GGI, Brockway Moran remains confident in its investment in the fitness industry. "We are aggressively going forward with plans both on building new clubs and acquiring," Brockway said, "and we are very excited."

The aim of a recent study done in Canada "The Relationship between Minimum Alcohol Prices, Outlet Densities and Alcohol Attributable Deaths in British Columbia, 2002 to 2009" was to investigate relationships between periodic increases in minimum alcohol prices, changing densities of liquor stores and alcohol attributable (AA) deaths in British Columbia, Canada.
The findings of this research show that increases in the minimum price of alcohol in British Columbia, Canada, between 2002 and 2009 were associated with immediate and delayed decreases in alcohol attributable mortality. By contrast, increases in the density of private liquor stores were associated with increases in alcohol attributable mortality.

Folks may remember Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter and his preference for not-gay pink shirts. Well, it seems that going psycho at college basketball games isn't enough juice for Rudy, so he took his act on the road—and recently got himself ejected from the gym at a girl's high school basketball game.
Carpenter was at Marcos de Niza High in Tempe on Tuesday to watch a game featuring his girlfriend's sister, and even though the atmosphere doesn't quite match a Pac-10 football game, he and his friends did the best they could to liven things up with a little playful heckling of the referees. It was all good clean fun, until the lead official stopped the game and asked his whole section to leave.
Except between the ejection and the exit doors, multiple sources say Rudy got a little belligerent, a little salty with his language. The scene prompted school officials to call the police (the situation was resolved before the patrol sergeant arrived), and it left some witnesses shaking their heads.
Carpenter vehemently claimed he was an innocent bystander, but would not comment further for the record. He said he was tired of defending himself.
I can see how that would be exhausting. Do you know how much energy it takes to get yourself thrown out of a girl's basketball game?

Carnesseca Arena was buzzing last Friday night, and it had nothing to do with St. John's.
The New Jersey Nets were in town, hosting the Philadelphia 76ers in Jamaica Queens in a game that had as much to do about courting new fans as it did about basketball.
The Nets, who are planning to move to Brooklyn in two seasons, are watching their fan base erode over in Jersey while the New Yorkers bicker over the fate of the Atlantic yards. In the meantime, the Nets find themselves needing to find new fans elsewhere.
The solution? Queens, a borough so hungry for a second hyper-local sports team that talk of an NHL arena for the sad-sack Islanders is gaining buzz.
Think Queens is a Knicks town? Tell that to the 3,284 people that showed up Friday to watch the Nets destroy the Sixers.
Let me put that attendance figure another way; almost 2,500 more people showed up to the same arena to watch the Nets get their first win of the PRESEASON than they did to watch the St. John's men's basketball destroy NJIT and get off to an impressive 7-1 start last season.
The night was clearly a win-win-win; the Nets picked up a strong victory and made inroads to developing a new following, St. John's picked up nice publicity and showed off its swanky new arena, and fans in Queens got to see pro basketball without having to sit on the E train for an hour and wear paper bags over their heads in Madison Square Garden.
The Nets would be wise to continue to make an effort here. Queens is as basketball crazy a place as they come. Brooklyn may have produced head cases Stephon Marbury and Sebastian Telfair, but Queens gave us Anthony Mason and Ron Artest (see, we can make our own head cases too!)
Lincoln High School may have all the press, but Christ the King, and Archbishop Molloy are no slouches either.
Lance Stephenson? Meet Russ Smith.
So let's hope that even after the move to Brooklyn is completed, the Nets continue to show Queens some love. After all; 2.4 million people have to spend their money on season tickets somewhere, right?

Crazy Taxi Review
- The full 2000 release of Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast, right there in your hands.
- Utterly addictive Arcade gameplay; wild racing through large areas and no consequences - go nuts!
- Input delays make it difficult to feel completely comfortable with the controls; similarly, double-taps are a poor substitution for the game's original inputs.
Crazy Taxi for the iOS platform is a solid step back from the console and yet another step back from the Arcade release of SEGA's classic time-trial 'racer', but even despite this the madcap insanity of its gameplay shines through making it hard not to be washed away in a torrent of nostalgia.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
I feel like a powerful force is trying to show us, the lowly gamer, the stark difference between two driving-based games from 1999 and their subsequent re-release on the iOS platform. Where Re-Volt may be the subject of fond memories, its gameplay (though not its level design) was ultimately average. However, Crazy Taxi by SEGA remains just as balls-to-the-wall madcap as ever, placing you in control of an out-of-control taxi driver around a virtual homage of San Francisco.
Whether you play in the default time-earning mode or take a more relaxed approached in the fixed-time modes, your goal is to find, pick up and deposit customers at their destination as fast as possible. This comes with a few caveats though, notably 'stunts' in the form of slamming in to cars, drifting and high-flying jumps while having a passenger on board will earn you more money, so it's in your interest to take a route that's more 'interesting' than 'direct'.
In order to assist you in your journey the game equips you with a variety of tricks such as bursts of acceleration; shuddering stops; and 180 degree spins (which are ever-so useful to master). Unfortunately unlike the Arcade and Console versions, there's a bit of a problem - there's not enough buttons. Instead of being able to switch gears (forward and reverse) and accelerate or decelerate separately, these maneuvers are condensed down to only two buttons - forward and reverse.
To get around this issue the game implements a 'double tap' system for initiating boosts or drifts, however this is far from optimal as you'll need to let go of buttons you're holding down, making life challenging if you choose to tackle the special missions for their unlockable rewards. On the plus side there is a tilt based option that eliminates the issue from drifting, but boosts still remain problematic.
What's amazing is that even despite the control issues, Crazy Taxi is as fun as ever - whether you play in the smaller 'Arcade' world or the extended 'Original' one, you'll be sliding and colliding without a care in the world aside from the clock that constantly runs down. Whether underwater or sailing through the air, Crazy Taxi is a one of a kind game and definitely worth taking for a spin.

In-residence Treatment Programs
The Raj in-residence programs include all of the components of the personal consultation program as well as 2-3 hours a day of specialized cleansing and rejuvenation treatments.
There are two types of in-residence programs available at The Raj:
Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy Program
Participants attend our Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy program for a minimum of 5 days and up to 21 days. At the core or this program are the daily Maharishi Rejuvenation treatments with our highly trained Ayurveda technicians. (Our female guests have treatments administered by female technicians, and our male guests have treatments administered by male technicians.)
These treatments are gentle, yet powerful, cleansing therapies that remove the toxins and impurities from your tissues and help open the channels of circulation and elimination. Purifying to the body and deeply relaxing to the nervous system, rejuvenation therapy treatments help remove imbalances that are at the basis of your condition. These treatments also strengthen and enliven the main systems the body uses to heal itself.
Scientific research verifies that Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy cleanses the body of toxins. There are also published case studies showing that these treatments have been able to significantly lessen symptoms of long standing chronic conditions.
This authentic and ancient Ayurveda therapy is normally composed of three separate treatments administered in sequence over a two to three hour period each day of your stay:
Treatment 1: Ayurveda herbalized oil application and massage (Abhyanga)
This 55-minute massage uses special herbalized oils picked by your Ayurveda Health Consultant and starts the cleansing and opening process. The heat and friction caused by the motion of the massage improves circulation and starts to loosen the impurities from where they have been lodged in tissues.
The quality of the herbalized oil is also very important, since the entire surface area of the body is absorbing the herbalized oil. These special oils help to nourish and cleanse the tissues and soften the channels of elimination.
Treatment 2: Ayurveda heat treatments
Heat is another gentle but effective way to dissolve impurities, open circulation, and relax the entire physiology. After the massage most people receive one of the following heat treatments:
a) Shirodhara: the pouring of warm herbalized oil back and forth across the forehead while you are comfortably lying down with your eyes closed. This treatment is profoundly relaxing to the mind and nervous system. It is especially helpful in relieving the effects of excess mental stress which often canbe aggravating chronic conditions.
b) Pizzichili: Two technicians pour warm herbalized oil over the entire body. The extensive number of herbs that have been cured into the oil help draw out impurities, while balancing and nourishing the physiology.
c) Swedena: This herbalized steam bath creates a purifying effect by heating the entire physiology, increasing sweating, and opening channels of elimination.
d) Pindaswedana: During this treatment the entire body is massaged by three technicians, using a special mixture of milk, oils, herbs, and rice. This procedure is particularly powerful for reducing excess metabolic activity and eliminating its toxic byproducts.
Treatment 3: Ayurveda herbalized enema treatment
Administration of a mild herbal enema after the massage and heat treatments completes the cleansing process. Ayurveda theory describes how the massage and heat treatments drive many of the impurities into the lower bowel area and, therefore, it is necessary to administer enema as the last step in the purification process.
Your Ayurveda Health Consultant will prescribe herbalized enemas appropriate for your condition. After enema administration you will rest awhile, shower, and then continue to rest in your room or join our educational programs as you choose.
Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy Educational Programs
Each guest in the Maharishi Rejuvenation Program has daytime periods that are used for deeper rest, meditation, and health education classes. The daytime education is provided through live lectures and an extensive tape library that can be viewed in the comfort of your room.
In the evening all guests are invited to attend an educational series of lectures with special guest speakers. Our educational programs include the following topics that help you take home valuable information for helping the body heal itself and maintaining the highest level of overall health:
1. Ayurveda diet and digestion
Topics covered include:
- A system to determine a balanced diet
- Proper use of spices to improve digestion, and balance, nourish and cleanse the physiology
- Matching diet to digestive strengths at different times of the day. Proper foods and quantities for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- How to avoid the eating mistakes that create poor digestion, leading to toxins and blockages in the physiology.
2. Practical tips on how to avert disorders before they arise
3. Daily Yoga asanas and Yoga breathing (pranayama) courses
These daily classes provide expert instruction in Yoga asana postures and breathing techniques that can become valuable rejuvenative regimens when practiced daily at home. Regular practice of Yoga asanas can help stimulate the circulation and elimination of toxins.
4. Introduction to Maharishi Vedic ScienceSM Healing Disciplines
Topics include:
- Vedic architecture: Maharishi Sthapatya Veda® design
Provides information on proper orientation of building and rooms so that homes and offices can have the most healthy influence on their residents
- Maharishi Vedic Astrologysm and Maharishi Yagyasm programs:
Describes how Vedic astrology can help predict the areas of physical balance and imbalance and times of good and poor health. Maharishi Yagya programs provide practical recommendations to help neutralize negative influences predicted by Vedic astrology.
- Veda in Human Physiology:
Describes the discovery of how the vibrations of pure intelligence in the Unified Field of natural law, Vedic vibrations, create and maintain different aspects of physiological functioning.
- Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology:
Describes the application of Vedic vibrations, based on the discovery of Veda in Human Physiology, for the healing of long standing chronic disorders.

Veda Intensive Program
The Veda Intensive Program is a 10 to 21 day program that has the following features that make it even more powerful and comprehensive than our Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy Program.
a) Unique Cleansing Therapies
The Veda Intensive Program includes some of the same treatments in Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy but also contains unique Ayurveda cleansing and rejuvenation therapies that are even more powerful and specific in nature.
b) Maharishi Vedic Sound Therapy:
Participants listen to traditional recitation of selected portions of Veda and Vedic literature. These segments correspond to the parts of the body that contain the participants major imbalances. Vedic recitation aims to enliven the self-repair and balancing processes in these areas.
c) Vedic Astrology and Vedic Yagya:
Maharishi Vedic Astrology programs involve very detailed analysis of the influences on individual health from the cycles and rhythms of the sun, moon, stars and planets. This knowledge includes and expands the modern medical understanding of the effects of chronobiology.
The Maharishi Yagya program involves the use of specific Vedic vibrations to neutralize negative effects predicted by Vedic astrology to be at the basis of long standing chronic health problems. During every day of a guests in-residence stay the Maharishi Yagya program would be applied to help aid the healing process.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's biggest cable and wireless company, Rogers Communications Inc said on Thursday that Guy Laurence will take over as chief executive in December, following the retirement of current CEO Nadir Mohamed.
Laurence, currently CEO of Vodafone Group Plc's British unit, faces declining cable revenue and a challenging wireless landscape at Rogers. But he is seen as an executive who transformed Vodafone UK's corporate culture and competitive prospects via cost-cutting and a management shake-up.
"Laurence clearly has extensive wireless experience in some of the most competitive markets in the world and has obviously dealt with regulatory challenges in the EU, which could be very useful in his new role," Canaccord Genuity analyst Dvai Ghose wrote in a note to clients.
Rogers, along with its biggest rivals BCE Inc and Telus Corp, are locked in combat with the federal government over rules Ottawa has put in place to encourage more wireless competition, but which the established operators say unfairly disadvantage them ahead of a key auction of airwaves.
Before joining Vodafone in 2000, Laurence worked at media companies MGM Studios, United Cinemas and Chrysalis Records.
Mohamed announced his retirement earlier this year.
Rogers shares were down 0.9 percent at C$43.07 by mid-morning on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Madonna and Her Much Younger Boyfriend Call It Quits After Three Years of Dating
Madonna and her boyfriend of three years, Brahim Zaibat, have ended their relationship, her rep confirmed to Gossip Cop.
The 55-year-old singer and the 25-year-old French dancer first met in 2010, when he performed at the launch of her daughter Lourdes' clothing line. Madonna later took him on the road with her as a backup dancer during her 'MDNA' tour.
But recently, the couple seemed to be on the outs.
According to an Us Weekly source, "[The relationship] ran its course. They were dancing and working together all the time and then they barely saw each other," the insider revealed.
But they have seen more of others.
Zaibat has been spending more and more time with his 'Dancing With The Stars' partner, Katrina Patchett, reports the Daily Mail. (The two are on a French version of the show.) And Madonna recently joined ex-husband Sean Penn on a charity trip to Haiti, with her son Rocco.

SAN JOSE — After the "Miracle on Manchester" and "Frenzy on Figueroa," what do we call what the Kings accomplished while improbably rallying from a three-games-to-none deficit to defeat the San Jose Sharks in their first-round playoff series?
Whatever it's ultimately dubbed, it figures to live in the Kings' lore for generations, that much is certain. The Kings etched their names in the NHL history books with a 5-1 victory over the Sharks in Game 7 and a 4-3 series win Wednesday night at the SAP Center.
Drew Doughty (power play), Anze Kopitar, Tyler Toffoli, Dustin Brown and Tanner Pearson scored for the Kings, who advanced to play the Ducks in the second round. Game 1 of the first playoff meeting between the erstwhile rivals is Saturday at the Honda Center.
It figures to take, what, maybe a nanosecond to bring to a boil?
"I think a lot of people were hoping this was going to happen, including the players," Doughty said. "I think we're really looking forward to this opportunity against Anaheim. I think they can't wait to meet us as well.
"It's going to be a hard-fought series. Fans are going to be great in both buildings."
It might be the only way to top the Kings' incredible first-round rally over the Sharks. The Kings joined the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1975 New York Islanders and 2010 Philadelphia Flyers as the only teams to rally from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-7 series.
The Sharks won the first three games, including Game 3 in overtime at Staples Center. The Kings won the next three, including Game 6 on Monday at Staples. All things considered, a Game 7 was to be expected since these teams also went the distance in a series last year.
How they got to this point was a surprise.
Or was it?
"We were down 3-0 in the series, which was obviously not where we wanted to be, but we never thought we were done," Brown said. "I think what happened was that in the first two games we were very uncharacteristic. We gave more odd-man rushes than we did in the last month.
"We cleaned it up. We got better. That was the biggest thing. We got better every game."
After playing the first scoreless first period of the series, the Kings watched as the Sharks took a 1-0 lead only 28 seconds into the second period. Defenseman Matt Irwin, filling in for the injured Marc-Edouard Vlasic, whistled a shot through traffic and into the back of the net past Jonathan Quick.
The Sharks didn't score again and couldn't keep the Kings from scoring. Doughty tied it with a power-play goal, his first of the playoffs. Kopitar put them ahead to stay. Toffoli padded the lead early in the third period and Brown and Pearson sealed it with empty-net goals.
"We were a lot closer last year than this year," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said when asked about losing a second consecutive seven-game series to the Kings. "We're kidding ourselves if we think it was close this year. We had a core group of guys who couldn't get onto the scoresheet."
McLellan didn't name names in his postgame press conference, but Joe Thornton had only two goals and one assist and Logan Couture added one goal and two assists. The Kings shut out the Sharks in Game 5 and held them to a goal in each of the final two games.
The Kings' best players, on the other hand, were their best players.
"We're resilient, we have a lot of heart and it comes right from the top all the way to the bottom," Doughty said. "We played very bad in the first two games of the series. Game 3 could have gone either way.
"Because it did, we took it upon ourselves to make things happen."

Even though I relied heavily on the work done by everyone here, solving the final part of that riddle for myself was highly entertaining. I really did enjoy everything about W&W and I can easily see myself re-reading it several times in the future.
So thank you very much Jan-Poo and everyone involved!

Initial thoughts on converting existing templates to Joomla 3.0
The information in this article has been transcribed from the Joomla! User eXperience (JUX) Webinar. This was a webinar upload in early June of 2012, in which Kyle Ledbetter (lead of the Joomla JUX project) discusses upcoming changes in Joomla 3.0
What about template conversion for existing sites to Joomla 3.0?
We will need to put together some documentation for the list of styles. I mean basically one of the things you can do since we're using most of the markup from bootstrap, is you can see the kind of UI elements that you're going to need to support from your template, so you'll need to do a little bit of conversion. It's basically going to be adding new things like, for example, these thumbnails. These are going to be used now in components in Joomla 3.0. So you can see this very simple markup that you'll need to style. A point that I want to make is, because we're going to ship with some base styles in the core of joomla, if your template doesn't have these styles they're not going to look broken, they'll just look like this.
What about the big template providers like RocketTheme or YOOtheme with their templates? Will using their own template frameworks, like Gantry or Warp, not conflict with the bootstrap framework?
Yeah, that's a big concern, and in this we've already been talking to a lot of the template clubs, and most of them already like/love bootstrap and are using it in some way anyway. I know that Joomlashack is moving their entire framework over to bootstrap. I know RockTheme already uses bootstrap for some versions of the back end of gantry, so they're familiar with it so I'm sure that Andy and his team will get on board with it. Again for them, it's a huge win because all we're doing is unifying all the markup in Joomla for them. Like a template club right now has to make a template specifically for Kunena or a template specifically for redSHOP or whatever. Now they can make a template for all components, so it's just a win for them.

Pygmies Win Arizona 10s Tourney
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., October 9, 2012 – New Mexico Tech's rugby clubs visited Flagstaff, Ariz., over the weekend for the 32nd annual Northern Arizona Tens tournament, returning with contrasting records. Traveling as a full team for the first time since the re-emergence of women's rugby at Tech a year ago, the Queens showed improvement and commitment while dropping decisions in all three of their collegiate women's division matches. After an off-year in the 2011 tournament the Pygmies returned to their accustomed dominance in 10-a-side by winning all three games to claim the championship of a depleted four-team men's college field.
The Pygmies led off with an easy 66-7 win over Northern Arizona University's second team. Senior fullback Isaiah Sanchez once again displayed his mastery of open field running by scoring two five-point tries and serving up two more with perfectly-timed passes for teammate Ben Long to touch down. In addition to Long's hat trick of three, tries were scored by Jerod Aragon, James Chavez, Jordan Fastle, and rookies Even Elizondo and Darien Williams. Fastle connected on a remarkable seven of his eight conversion kick attempts, all via the drop kick method.
In the eight-team women's field, the Queens found themselves facing Pacific Rugby Union open division contenders Las Vegas Slots in their first match. Overmatched in experience and size, the Queens went down battling 40-0.
On an adjacent field the Pygmies kicked off to NAU's first team and quickly gained control, sweeping to an 18-0 halftime lead on two tries by Sanchez, a penalty kick by Fastle, and a try just before the half by Enrique Koerdell, who was returning from an injury after two weeks. Sanchez completed his hat trick in the second half, joined by Jerod Aragon's second of the day. James Chavez led the forwards with sure tackling, hard runs, and forceful clearing of the rucks and first-year man Darien Williams also proved his mettle. With a 28-0 lead Tech took the foot off the gas and NAU responded well by taking two late tries for a more respectable 28-12 final score.
The Queens played another, slightly less accomplished Las Vegas team in their second match but the Lady Black Jacks had the firepower to pull away in the second half for a 29-5 victory. First-season wing/fullback Cassidy Coleman touched down her first try for an early Queens lead before the much larger Lady Black Jacks wore the Queens down.
The men's collegiate final featured a surprisingly strong Thunderbird Global School of Management team and New Mexico Tech. The New Mexicans picked up where they'd left off, playing a wide-open attacking game to race to a 12-0 halftime lead. Fly half Brock Romero ran diagonally across the defense before threading a perfect pop pass to Sanchez, who streaked through untouched for Tech's first try. Enrique Koerdell then scored after a prolonged phase of ball control, including some well-timed charges by hooker Ryan Johnson, forced a crack in Thunderbird's defense pattern. Jordan Fastle was good on one of the conversion kicks.
Koerdell scored again early in the second half after another prolonged Tech attack and Romero added the two-pointer for a seemingly unassailable 19-0 lead. But Thunderbird had other ideas and put over their first try to pull within 19-5. The Phoenix club had discovered Tech's weakness in covering the width of the field and they took advantage to rapidly score two more tries to pull even at 19-all with little time remaining. But their hopes were dashed after the Pygmies carried play into Thunderbird's end of the field and, following a tackle Darien Williams, flipped a quick pass to Sanchez, who got around the defense to seal the deal for Tech. Fastle's conversion was a formality and brought Tech's margin of victory to 26-19.
The Queens finished with their best showing, although co-hosts NAU Timberdoodles came away with a 17-5 win. Again Tech faded slightly in the second half, allowing NAU to run in the decisive scores. Captain and club president Lynnae Logan scored the try for Tech.
Following an open date October 13 the men's team will host the Tech alumni rugby squad, the Ancestors, in the annual 49ers Black and Blue match. Play will kick off at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19 at the Tech Athletic Field. The Queens return to action November 3 as hosts to Northern Arizona University Timberdoodles.

UNITED NATIONS—Iran's new president, Hasan Rouhani, is scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly this month in his debut on the world stage.
The United Nations has his speech scheduled for Sept. 24, hours after President Barack Obama addresses the annual General Assembly.
Rouhani, elected in June, is widely viewed as more moderate than his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, who used speeches at the General Assembly to question the Holocaust and the official explanation that the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks were caused by hijacked planes.
Iran is the subject of U.N. Security Council sanctions over its ballistic missile program and its suspected development of nuclear weapons, which its government denies. Iran says it only seeks reactors for energy and medical research.
The committee on Iran sanctions was meeting Thursday afternoon, but it is deadlocked between the West, which wants to tighten sanctions, and Russia, which contends that Rouhani should be given a chance to prove Iran can be a trustworthy negotiating party. The committee consists of all 15 Security Council members.
Australia's Ambassador Gary Quinlan, who chairs the committee, told reporters Wednesday that the council members cannot even agree to endorse their own panel of experts' report that Iran violated U.N. sanctions when it launched several ballistic missiles a year ago.
"We're not making as much progress as we should," Quinlan said.
The panel of experts concluded that Iran's launch of Shahab-1 and Shahab-3 missiles in a war-game exercise in July 2012 "constituted a clear violation" of sanctions, and therefore all U.N. member states "should redouble efforts to implement ballistic missile-related sanctions on Iran." The experts are appointed by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and approved by the council to investigate reports of violations.
Quinlan told reporters that the sanctions committee had written to Tehran in April asking for clarification on the missile launches but has not received any response.
On Thursday, Rouhani confirmed that Iran's Foreign Ministry will lead nuclear talks with world powers, a shift away from security officials setting Tehran's strategies for the critical negotiations. The talks have been on hold for months after deadlocks over Western efforts to rein in Iran's nuclear program.

Becoming a Christian is the most incredible event that will ever take place in your life. You have found peace with your Creator. You have found everlasting life! Be assured--God will never leave you nor forsake you. He has brought you this far and He will complete the wonderful work He has begun in you. God knows your every thought, your every care and your deepest concerns.
Let's now look at some of those possible concerns. First, and of primary concern -- do you have "assurance" of your salvation? The Bible says to "make your calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10), so, let's go through a short "checklist" to make sure that you are truly saved:
God acquits us from the Courtroom of Eternal Justice on the grounds that Jesus Christ paid our fine. We are "justified" (made right with God) by His suffering death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was God's seal of approval of the fact that His precious blood was sufficient to pay the fine.
Think of it this way... You have violated the law and face a $50,000 fine. You tell the judge that you are truly sorry for your crime, but he answers, "So you should be -- you have broken the law! Now, can you pay this fine?" He can only acquit you if the fine is paid. If someone else pays your fine, then he can let you go, but he must have "grounds" on which to release you.
The reason we need a substitute (a savior) to pay our moral "fine," is because we have broken God's Law. To see how much we have transgressed this Law (the Ten Commandments), we will go through some of them -- Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something? Have you ever lusted after another person? If you answered "Yes" to these questions, you admit that you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart, and you have to face God on Judgment Day! If you have used His name in vain, then you are guilty of "blasphemy" -- you've substituted God's holy Name for a curse word. Perhaps you've hated someone, then the Bible says that you are a murderer. You have violated God's holy Law, and you're in BIG trouble. On Judgment Day, you will be found guilty and end up in Hell. That's why you need the Savior. Merely being sorry for your sins, or confessing them to God won't help you. You must turn from sin (repent), and your faith must be in Jesus Christ alone. He is the only "grounds" for God to grant mercy towards you. If you're not sure of your salvation, make Psalm 51 your own prayer.
Let's now look at some more important principles that can save you a great deal of pain...

Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup
Posted on 2:31 AM by Jacquelin Estrela
Just before Christmas I made slow cooker ham in Cherry Coke which was delicious. I deliberately cooked too much ham so I would have some left for another recipe the next day; if you have leftover ham from Christmas this is a great way to use it up (and any leftover potato and veg you have as well).
The quantities are easily adjusted depending on how much leftovers you have to use and how many people you are serving so my recipe is more of a rough guide.
I used:
2 cups leftover cooked ham, chopped
1 pork stock cube (you could also use chicken or vegetable)
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped (I used a raw carrot but you could use leftover cooked veg)
1 cup leftover mashed potato, cooked (you could also use leftover boiled or roast potatoes, or raw potatoes cut into small cubes)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream (you could also use leftover single or double cream)
Place all the ingredients in your slow cooker apart from the milk and cream, and add enough water to cover the veg.
Cook on high for 3 hours or medium for 5-6 hours.
When ready, take about half the soup out of the slow cooker and blend until smooth in a food processor.
Return to the soup and mix in so it still has some chunks of meat and veg. Add the milk and cream and serve. You can add more water if you want the soup to be thinner but I liked it as it was.
I'm sharing this with the Slow Cooker Challenge, hosted by Lucy aka Baking Queen 74 as the theme is Christmas.
I'm also sending this to the No Waste Food Challenge hosted by Jen's Food as this recipe uses all sorts of leftovers.

A memorial service will be held this weekend for a former Newport Beach city councilman.
Ray Williams, an early advocate of the Upper Newport Bay ecological preserve, died of natural causes at his home in Lake Arrowhead Aug. 15. He was 79.
Williams "stood in the front lines" with others during the efforts in the 1970s to protect the bay area from development, according to his wife, Tatyana "Mary" Melnikoff.
The nature-enthusiast lived in Newport Beach for 12 years, beginning in 1969, she said. During that time, he served as a Newport Beach planning commissioner and as a city council member.
From 1978 to 1980, Williams assumed the role of mayor pro tem during the second half of his four-year council term.
"He really had a very strong passion for environmental issues, especially in the upper Newport Bay," said Jack Keating, who became involved with the preserve in the 1990s.
Even after moving out of Newport, Williams remained active in the Friends of Newport Bay community group, which was founded to advocate for the area, Keating said.
For a time, Williams traveled in order to continue attending board meetings.
A long-time science teacher, Williams was born with his passion for nature, Melnikoff said.
Williams, raised in Whittier, earned an undergraduate degree in biology from San Jose State University and two master's degrees, in education and in environmental sciences, respectively, from Whittier College.
Throughout his teaching career, he contributed to several nature sanctuaries. At Whittier's California High School, where he taught in the biology department and led the science club, he developed the school's botanical gardens.
In 1968, when he joined Rio Hondo College, Williams started the Rio Hondo College Wildlife sanctuary, developed courses in ecology and launched the biology department's natural history museum.
Ray lived by the motto, "Make it worthwhile, in a positive way, that you existed," Melnikoff recalled.
He believed that one should live for a cause in order to be assured of contributing something meaningful to the world.
"You try to leave it a better place," she explained, "and he did."
Williams enjoyed traveling on natural history and cultural study expeditions in Hawaii with family, friends and students. He also loved camping, playing the banjo and driving his '57 Chevy.
A memorial service in his honor will at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, 2301 University Drive, Newport Beach.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be sent to the Newport Back Bay Conservancy. They also hope that books by his favorite writer, Edward Abbey, will be read in his memory.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The Minnesota Timberwolves have made their position clear. They want restricted free-agent center Nikola Pekovic wearing "Wolves" across his chest for years to come. And they are willing to pay handsomely to make that happen.
It's that price, however, that is holding up the process.
While the Timberwolves have reportedly slotted Pekovic for a deal in the four-year, $48 million range, the 7-footer's agent, Jeff Schwartz, is reportedly looking for something in the $15 million a year range, according to 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.
That's a significant gap and one that will require some adept maneuvering from Timberwolves' boss Flip Saunders, who not only has to work with Schwartz on a deal for Pekovic but also has to keep in mind that they'll do this dance again when Kevin Love is in the midst of free-agent negotiations before the 2015-16 season. Love can opt out of his current deal then and become a free agent.
It's a delicate balance for Saunders, crafting a roster capable of competing for a playoff spot now while also maintaining flexibility and fiscal responsibility for the future. It's a balance that wasn't managed well by his predecessor, David Kahn. In fact, these sorts of offseason hiccups were supposed to be history in Minneapolis, along with Kahn.
And make no mistake, this is a management issue. Pekovic's camp has every right to push for the max. In a league where a talented big man always has value even if there is little production to warrant it (Andrew Bynum and Greg Oden come to mind), Schwartz knows that he's working from high ground with a player like Pekovic.
He averaged 16.8 points and 8.8 rebounds and was a consistent inside force for the team while Love was out of the mix for all but 18 games with an injury.
What the Timberwolves have to guard against is allowing this situation with Pekovic to put them in any sort of compromising position down the road with Love, who will indeed command max money of his own if and when he does opt out of his current deal. Love and Ricky Rubio are the current and future cornerstones of the playoff outfit Saunders is trying to build, and that has to be on the minds of everyone within the franchise as they move forward.
Outbidding themselves for Pekovic wouldn't make a ton of sense at this juncture. But any damage done to the relationship with Schwartz right now could have lasting ramifications down the road, potentially producing consequences the Timberwolves absolutely cannot afford if they are serious about turning their playoff fortunes around.

Research Highlights
November 2009
Building Better Biofuels
Expert describes research at DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center
Making biofuels from plants brings opportunities and challenges, according to Dr. Tim Donohue, Director of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, one of three U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers. The opportunity lies in the availability. Donohue gave a talk at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Frontiers in Biological Sciences Seminar Series. The series features academic government and industrial leaders who discuss novel ideas and scientific advances in biological sciences.
"We're trying to replace fossil fuels in the liquid transportation fuels sector, so we have to use a readily available feedstock. Cellulose is the most abundant organic material on the planet," said Donohue. It consists largely of sugar polymers (glucose plus others) that can be converted to other fuels by catalytic or microbial chemistries. And these sugars come from the non-edible parts of the plants, rather than from food sources.
The challenges include getting at the sugars trapped in insoluble fibers of the cellulose wall, and the variety of cellulosics. "Plants being considered are hardwood, softwood, corn, and switchgrass. However, there's likely no one magic solution," said Donohue. One of the Center's roles is to come up with the varying solutions needed.
One of these solutions is to improve plants as bioenergy feedstocks, which is an achievable goal, according to Donohue. For example, only five genetic changes were needed to develop modern maize, or sweet corn, from the grasslike perennial teosinte.
A plant improvement under way at the GLBRC is development of a "zipper" that causes the lignin in the cellulose to break apart and release the sugars. "Lignin blocks access to cell wall polysaccharides," said Donohue. "Removing lignin requires expensive and chemically harsh pretreatments. So we are redesigning the lignin for improved deconstruction."
For the GLBRC, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are providing high-throughput analysis of bioenergy proteins and are modeling alternative biofuel scenarios from the field to the globe.
About the speaker: Dr. Donohue has been part of the UW-Madison Bacteriology Department for more than 20 years. He has been a member of various federal research panels, served on several editorial boards and advisory committees in microbiology, and helped author reports for DOE on solar energy generation and the conversion of plant biomass into biofuels.

Monad transformer for multi-prompt delimited control
It implements the superset of the interface described in
- "A Monadic Framework for Delimited Continuations", R. Kent Dybvig, Simon Peyton Jones, and Amr Sabry JFP, v17, N6, pp. 687--730, 2007. http://www.cs.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/techreports/TRNNN.cgi?trnum=TR615
The first main difference is the use of generalized prompts, which do not have to be created with new_prompt and therefore can be defined at top level. That removes one of the main practical drawbacks of Dybvig et al implementations: the necessity to carry around the prompts throughout all the code.
The delimited continuation monad is parameterized by the flavor of generalized prompts. The end of this code defines several flavors; the library users may define their own. User-defined flavors are especially useful when user's code uses a small closed set of answer-types. Flavors PP and PD below are more general, assuming the set of possible answer-types is open and Typeable. If the user wishes to create several distinct prompts with the same answer-types, the user should use the flavor of prompts accepting an integral prompt identifier, such as PD. Prompts of the flavor PD correspond to the prompts in Dybvig, Peyton Jones, Sabry framework. If the user wishes to generate unique prompts, the user should arrange himself for the generation of unique integers (using a state monad, for example). On the other hand, the user can differentiate answer-types using `newtype.' The latter can only produce the set of distinct prompts that is fixed at run-time. Sometimes that is sufficient. There is not need to create a gensym monad then.
The second feature of our implementation is the use of the bubble-up semantics: See page 57 of http://okmij.org/ftp/gengo/CAG-talk.pdf This present code implements, for the first time, the delimited continuation monad CC *without* the use of the continuation monad. This code implements CC in direct-style, so to speak. Instead of continuations, we rely on exceptions. Our code has a lot in common with the Error monad. In fact, our code implements an Error monad for resumable exceptions.

Pre-defined prompt flavors
The extreme case: prompts for the single answer-type w. The monad (CC PS) then is the monad for regular (single-prompt) delimited continuations
There is only one generalized prompt of the flavor PS for a given answer-type w. It is defined below
Prompts for the closed set of answer-types The following prompt flavor P2, for two answer-types w1 and w2, is given as an example. Typically, a programmer would define their own variant data type with variants for the answer-types that occur in their program.
The same as PP but with the phantom parameter c
The parameter is useful to statically enforce various constrains
(statically pass some information between shift and reset)
The prompt PP is too
dynamic: all errors are detected dynamically

I guess it was a wrong choice to visit Phuket city as there wasn't much to explore within city and considering the fact the places that we wanted to visit were situated far away from our hotel and taxi fares were too expensive.
We visited Tiger Kingdom, Trick Eye Museum, Phi Phi Island, a bit of shopping at City Centre, Thalang, etc. May be next time if I come to visit Phuket, I'd prefer to stay at Patong beach instead.
Truth be known even though both of the hotels I stayed at were clean and comfortable, I doubt I will ever return to Phuket.
The beaches are amazing, but there is garbage everywhere, and with the exeption of a few taxis, Tuk Tuks and restaraunts, the shopping and taxis at the Airport is way over-priced. It is more expensive than just about everywhere else I visited, although the soup I got from the vendor stand across the alley from the family mart (accross the street and to the left from the airport) was some of the best soup I had in Thailand.
Phuket is blessed with many beautiful beaches and islands nearby. It also have good facilities and amenities.
Very attractive to visitors.
Phuket is land of excellent beaches.There are lots of activities to be done like elephant trekking,go-karting,bunjee jumping.
Phuket Town just barely functions....Traffic on the whole island is a nightmare...very crowded place.
..here twice..getting worse..?Won't be back...Think they may be killing the goose that laid the golden egg !!!
Phuket is blessed by serene ambience & sunny beaches. Attractions like Krebi, Phang na Phi Phi etc keep you spell bound!
Beautiful city with lovely and much needed cleaning beaches.Have lovely bars and seafood restaurants.
quite commercialise but that is why is more happening place compare to other stand alone islands. price getting higher compare to smaller town in thailand.
People visit Phuket because of beaches. Not much comment at Phuket city as only spend short period of time there.
We've stayed at 2 hotels in Phuket one is in Patong and the other one is in Laguna. The difference about the two is that Patong would cater more from the young adults to a more mature crowd, who wanted to party and experience the local food.
As for Laguna this would cater to families and business men as this is more laid back and more on the upper class as it's a little bit more expensive than the usual hotels in Patong.
You love it or not. You can go for partying or with your family and enjoy a calm stay with enjoying the Thai kindness.
Phuket has many amusement parks and natural surrounding with a lot of cultural history and backgrounds connected with it.
Phuket, the city for everybody. Beach, Jungle, Town, all in one. You can go for day trip to the beach and sea for snorkling or scuba.
Very nice clear water during high season. U can also see the jungle within, via elephant or atv or flying fox. There's even bungee jumping. The town have lots of shop for shoping and restaurant is on every street. Thailand Food is just to die for! Complete package for a place to go. And the price is also cheap, below average i might say. When u interact with the people here, u dont want togo home. Thai people is the soft type. Enjoy phukett!!~
Phuket is full of fun, Atv, flying hanuman, water park, spas, restaurants, water sports, shopping, beaches.
Place for party oriented people or for people planning to spend time only on the beach. For family vacation, I preferred Ao Nang and Phi Phi.
I did not had the opportunity to visit Ko Lanta but have heard that it is a very peaceful place as well. Again, this is all based on my preference for a quitter vacation place. Phuket is way too commercial for my taste
A great place to stay, excellent food, beautiful beaches and water activities. A bit on the primitive side so this may not be for everyone and could be challenging for young families - although many Europeans were there with their families.
It's a long trip for Americans so not worth it unless you can stay for 1-2 weeks. I hope to come back soon :)
There are many places to visit for shopping, eating and sight seeing. It is best to rent a car so that you can travel to any place you like.
Phuket is expensive for Malaysian as most of the things there are expensive. The food is extremely expensive coz they treat us like we are from UK or US.
So try to reduce food intake but everything else in Phuket is good.
Small and easy to travel around without fear of getting too lost! Worth a visit for a relaxing, short trip (:
Phuket is a nice place with nice beaches. Lots of shopping can be done here and lots of eating places to from.
But it is way too crowded. I prefer Krabi then Phuket.
The food and shopping at Patong Beach area is too pricey. I was surprised to find the price of food is equivalent or more expensive than Singapore.
Rolled ice-cream cost S$4 and is not value for money. The cornetto ice cream I bought from the numerous convenience stores were more tasty and cheaper.
If we talk about Phuket town only i reccomend to stay in town for a few days. Old centre is unic, so narrow and cute streets, many cute restorans with a delicios food and special atmosphere.
Its very far from the beaches. If you want to swim you need take some trips to the islands, but in other places of Phuket you cant see the history
bangla road is interesting but not for young nor older children but makes for a fun night out with friends.
just don't get so inebriated that you forget where you are like everywhere else in the world. one should not go to parks where tigers and elephants (and other wild animals) are exploited. Shopping is good for half a day and the massages are so cheap. Thai people are really lovely and the whole destination is tourism-centric. Phuket airport is a bit un-cordinated but its still a comfortable airport even though it is old
an excellent holiday destination with something for everyone.. by far the biggest drawback on phuket is the extortionate price of taxis and tuk-tuks.
. even grabtaxi is relatively expensive but by far the safest and easiest way to travel around..
it's a great place for a holiday.. don't use taxis without meters or tuk-tuks.. grabtaxi now available- use instead
Staying mainly in the Patong district, would recommend for the nightlife and eating. Transport to the tourist areas ie.
elephant farms, snake show and monkey school requires tuk tuk or taxi hire but the prices are still reasonable after the obligatory haggling. Travelling there in May the conditions were very hot and steamy, temps around 32 - 34 degrees.
Get the wifi sim card at the airport to give you a sense of security when traveling Get a hotel near patong beach, theres where all the best attractions and activities are Those packages that you sign up for to visit the islands, you can bargain for cheaper rates, but as you are there to relax and enjoy the nightlife, don't sign up.
bus leave at 7.30am, lots of waiting time. Too commercialised. Gotta visit bangla road, every night while you are there. Visit No. 6 Restaurant for the best thai food. I had all my meals there. Fast food is expensive over there Massage is damn cheap. Do it everyday
Very commercial. Pleople are not so friendly when you try to bargain to have the price you know you should have - some of them seem to think that you've never lived or travelled before and they are quite condescending and laugh in your face.
Weird for such a touristy place. I couldnt wait to get out of phuket. Hopefully Thailand has much more to offer than that!
A more culturally diverse group is now visiting Phuket, since the Ruble has declined significantly in value.
The taxi drivers seem to be more friendly also. Lots of Burmese now man the market stores, and come across a less friendly than the Thais. There are still not beach chairs for hire on the beaches since the government clamped down on corruption with regard to licensing of operators. Some beach mattresses are available however in some limited areas. good to use Phuket as a base to visit outer islands like Raya, Phi Phi, Bamboo, Koh Phang Nga and Koh Kai.
Great Hospitality, Great Preservation of Culture, Hot bodies at Patong Beach :), Great Foods, Cheaper Stuff, Great Entertainment.

Fall is back in town, amazingly it has a nicer face than the summer had this year in the northern part of Europe. The days are shorter, but the sun is shinning a bit more than it did it for the past months. Well, I am not trying to write a weather report, but just to get into an autumn atmosphere. But despite its pitfalls, the autumn is a great season in terms of food and of flavour richness. It is a bit like an old wise person – saw it all and now is ready to share the knowledge. The fall produce is usually a bit more heavy, it takes a bit longer to understand its "wise-ness", just think about pumpkins, apples, pears, quince, figs, beetroot. You don't get that jumping for joy taste, but a bit more down to earth aromas and flavours.
And to celebrate the beginning of fall, I made some apple pie – thus filling the house with rich cinnamon, vanilla and fresh pastry flavours .
apple pie
serves 4
350 grams flour
225 cold butter
30 grams sugar
60 ml ice water
1 pinch of salt, vanilla
Cut the butter in small cubes. Combine the flour, salt, sugar and vanilla. Add the butter and water and mix until the dough comes together. Do not over mix the dough, otherwise the pastry will become hard, rather than nice and crispy. Cover it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes – 1 hour.
Apple filling
5 apples
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
30 grams butter
2 tablespoons cognac
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 vanilla beans
Peel the apples and cut them in cubes. Melt the butter over low heat, in a medium saucepan. Add the apples, the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla. Cook until the sugar is melted, for about 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch and mix well. When the apples are cooked (do not overcook), sprinkle the cognac over the apples and flambe it. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
To assemble the pies, roll out the pastry (3 mm thick) and fit it in tart tins. Fill up the tarts with the apple mixture and seal them with another sheath of rolled out dough, closing the edgesproperly. Brush the top of the tarts with egg wash.
Bake the pies in a preheated oven at 180C for 40 minutes or until they become golden and the pastry is cooked through. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
placinta de mere
- 350 grame faina
- 225 grame unt rece
- 30 grame zahar
- 60 ml apa rece
- un praf sare
- vanilie
Umplutura de mere
- 5 mere
- 4 linguri zahar
- jumatate lingurita scortisoara
- 30 grame unt
- 2 linguri cognac
- 1 lingura amidon
- vanilie
Se taie untul in cuburi mici. Intr-un vas se combina faina, sarea, zaharul si vanilia. Se adauda untul si se amesteca pana cand untul se amesteca relativ omogen cu faina. se adauga apa rece, astfel incat aluatul sa devina compact si relativ omogen. Nu framantati aluatul foarte mult, astfel baza tartei devine ff tare. Acoperiti cu folie de plastic si lasati aluatul sa se odihneasca la frigider o ora.
Curatati merele si taiati-le in cubulete. Topiti untul pe foc mic, intr-o tigaie de marime medie.Adaugati merele, zaharul, scortisoara si vanilia. Gatiti pana cand zaharul se topeste, apoi adaugati amidonul. Adaugati cognacul peste mere si flambati-l pana alcoolul se dizolva. Lasati merele sa se raceasca.
Asamblati prin a intinde aluatul pana ajunge la o grosime de 3 mm. Se aseaza in formele de tarta, se umple tarta cu umplutura de mere. Deasupra se aseaza o foaie de aluat , ca un capac.
Coaceti la 180 de grade pentru 30 de minute sau pana cand tarta capata o culoare aramie.

Katrina Johnson From 'All That' is Totally All That Now
Born in San Diego, California, you probably know Katrina Ann Johnson from the cast of Nickelodeon's 'All That' sketch comedy, which she was on from 1994 to 1997.
For a kid, she did some pretty amazing impressions of Roseanne Barr and Ross Perot, plus she was super cute. We have fond memories of her, but she had moved to the recesses of our dude-brains until we recently found her on Twitter, and realized she's spent the past 15 years becoming a mega babe. We think this calls for an 'All That' reunion, ASAP.

Collin Klein, the Kansas State quarterback who was a star in a spread-option offense in college but whose abilities as a passer leave much to be desired in the eyes of NFL scouts, remains committed to playing quarterback at the next level. And he thinks NFL teams are starting to come around to the idea that he can do it.
Klein told the Topeka Capital-Journal that he believes he has impressed scouts at the Combine and at Kansas State's Pro Day.
"I felt like I had two good days," Klein said. "I made progress and really improved, before the Combine first and then in the time between the Combine and Pro Day we made some strides, too. We're moving in the right direction. It's different not being in school, but it gives me a little extra time to focus and work on little things here and there. It's a pretty all-inclusive process, but we're enjoying it. I just love the game. We're getting better and having fun with it."
Klein said his workouts with former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer have helped get him ready to play the game at the next level.
"We did everything," Klein said. "We worked on footwork, core strength, flexibility with the shoulder . . . lots of different things. It was pretty all-inclusive and he taught me a lot. He gave great insight from him having been there [the NFL] and doing that for a very long time. I really appreciated his time and his effort working with me."
Although Klein still believes he is going to get drafted, he acknowledged that it's possible he'll have to settle for being an undrafted free agent.
"I think we'll definitely get a chance and it's just being ready and making the most of it," Klein said. "We'll see where the best fit is going to be. Teams are out there trying to figure out who's the best fit for them, too. It will all settle out. If that doesn't happen, we'll try to get picked up as a free agent on some level. We'll cross that bridge when we get there."
So just a few months after the Heisman Trophy voters considered Klein the third-best player in college football, Klein is just hoping NFL teams consider him one of the 254 best players available in the draft.

Today I got most of file moving working in nautilus-gio, so that means that most functionality is there, even if its quite raw and not very tested. Its time to get more people involved in testing and working on the new codebase.
So, I just merged the nautilus gio-branch to HEAD.
WARNING: Its still far from done, and it might eat your files. Don't use in anger! If it breaks you get to keep both pieces.
There is a list of things left todo on the wiki. But even after that is finished there is bound to be a bunch of stuf to be fixed.
So, use with caution, and give feedback.
UPDATE: Please file bugs against the GIO component of nautilus in bugzilla, so we can track this

Rotherham Titans v Bedford Blues
Bedford Blues fell foul of a second half Boxing Day rampage at Rotherham, a victory which lifted the home side into the number two spot on the Championship table. The Titans notched up four unanswered tries in the second period and ran out deserving winners 35-6, confirming their credentials as play-off challengers. Bedford seemed to confirm little other than their season continues to be as consistent as badly made Christmas gravy.
From the off, Rotherham's intensity and appetite was obvious but Bedford played well with the fading December sun at their backs. They contested the set pieces and breakdowns admirably in the first forty, and repelled everything that the hosts could offer. Just three penalties from the boot of Argentinian Juan Pablo Socino was all the Titans could muster and the Blues could well have been ahead at half time, with Pritchard uncharacteristically missing two out of four from the tee and Jake Sharp's drop goal drifting just wide. The teams headed in to the mid-game break with the match quite evenly poised; the hosts ahead 9-6.
But the second half was a different kettle of fish. Rotherham seemed to have found the key to Bedford's defensive door and started to use it at will.
Joel Hodgson, the fly half previously of Newcastle Falcons, began to pull all the right strings and the previous composure of Bedford defence wilted like a chocolate fireguard. With barely five minutes on the second half clock, the fair-haired standoff played in winger Curtis Wilson with a neat inside ball after making the initial break between the Blues' centres.
The Blues tried desperately to regain momentum but it wasn't long before Rotherham were again asking questions of the visitors' defensive line. After a few phases, it was Hodgson himself who skated in relatively untouched, as the Blues found themselves at sixes and sevens. Socino again converted to make the score 23-6.
The crowd were now very much behind the home side and they sensed that more could be scored. The Blues managed to hold out the next few attacks but then the try of the game came from deep in the Rotherham half. After a snatched turn-over, the ball was worked right and following some sublime handling from the Titans' centre Jack Roberts, Michael Keating plunged over in the corner. The conversion kick was unsuccessful, Socino's only blemish all afternoon, but with 80 minutes approaching on the clock the Yorkshiremen were desperate for the bonus point try.
The game restarted and under tremendous Titan pressure the Blues knocked the ball on in their own 22 and then infringed giving the home side the option to scrummage just yards from Blues try line. With the roar of the home crowd behind them, the Rotherham pack bent the Blues' scrum double and the referee ran underneath the posts, indicating a penalty try and sending the Clifton Lane faithful delirious.
The Blues will need to regather their thoughts ahead of next week's New Year's Day visit of high-flying London Scottish.

FORMER Essendon forward Kyle Reimers, struggling with the rigours of the game, has turned his back on the opportunity to play for Carlton and a continued career in the AFL.
Carlton had sought and received permission for Reimers to train with the club, but the erratic and talented forward, who was delisted by Essendon, did not take up training with the Blues and has indicated that he does not wish to be picked up by them in the rookie draft.
Reimers, 23, a high-level talent, has struggled with the grind of AFL football and the high level of commitment demanded of players in today's game and is instead looking at a return to the WAFL.
Reimers' manager, Alex McDonald, confirmed he was interested in playing for his old WAFL club Peel Thunder in preference to playing for one of the AFL's most famous clubs.
McDonald said he hoped Reimers could ''re-ignite'' his career in Western Australia and perhaps return to the AFL.
Carlton had earmarked a pick in the rookie draft for Reimers, who met with new coach Mick Malthouse some weeks ago.
''Carlton were good enough to ask whether Kyle would commit to train up until the draft, with the possibility of finding a home there,'' McDonald said.
''Kyle, at this point in his career, can't make the commitment to the level of an AFL career.
''It looks like he will hopefully re-ignite his career with Peel with a view to making his way back to the AFL.''
Reimers showed considerable raw talent with Essendon in his 60 games but fell out of the side this year.
The Blues will look at other options for the rookie draft spot they had planned to use on Reimers, who did not make the trip on the club's altitude camp in Arizona.
The Blues were somewhat surprised by Reimers' decision, given that most players in his position would be desperate to continue in the AFL, but his decision underscores how even elite talents can struggle with the demands placed on AFL footballers.
Reimers managed only six games in 2012 and was among a host of fringe players who were not offered contracts by Essendon, as the club made a significant cull of its list, taking a harder line on several players who had played a fair amount of senior football, including Ricky Dyson, Brent Prismall, Sam Lonergan, Henry Slattery and Reimers, with Angus Monfries traded to Port Adelaide.
Reimers, drafted by the Bombers in 2007 when he was just 17, booted 27 goals in 15 games in 2011, including hauls of eight and six against Gold Coast and Richmond, but he regressed this season.
Carlton's tight salary cap meant the Blues were quiet during the month-long free agency and trade period, when they resolved to keep the first-round draft pick, No. 11, which was eventually used on the highly talented Troy Menzel.

MOOC copyright issues to be discussed Dec. 6
MOOC copyright issues to be discussed Dec. 6
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Acknowledging the importance of the topic, the University Libraries will host "MOOCs and Copyright Management for Online Courses," a webcast, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6 in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. As the popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs) grow, their integration into curricula necessitates careful consideration of copyright issues, such as ownership of content, fair use of third-party materials and the TEACH Act (Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act of 2002).
The program, which is free and open to the public, is of special interest to faculty, academic administrators and librarians, who are facilitating the transition from traditional classrooms to online courses in an arena where definitions of the law may not have caught up with technology. The Webcast will address major copyright issues that arise from institutional creation of or participation in MOOCs and will provide a broad understanding of key copyright issues, including work for hire, fair use, and third party provider and permission seeking.
The program is from Academic Impressions, and the instructor is Kevin L. Smith, director of copyright and scholarly communications, Perkins Library, Duke University. No registration is required, although due to limited space, seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more information or if you anticipate needing accessibility accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact Martha Ney at firstname.lastname@example.com or 814-863-5447 during normal business hours.

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A (HAV) is a highly contagious disease that attacks the liver. It is the most common type of hepatitis reported in the US. Hepatitis A is spread by the fecal-oral route by:
- putting something in the mouth, even though it may look clean, that has been contaminated with the stool of a person with hepatitis A,
- through close person-to-person contact,
- or by eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
Symptoms include:
- fever,
- jaundice (yellowing of skin),
- fatigue,
- loss of appetite,
- nausea,
- abdominal discomfort and
- dark urine.
There is no specific treatment for HAV and most recover without complications. Once you get hepatitis A you cannot be re-infected; you are protected for life. Fortunately, there is an effective vaccine to protect against hepatitis A.

I like the idea of what I have started, but am interested in variations or updates to it - I am not married to the font or the exact design.
