Points of Interest
- Shelley was captain of the women's soccer team at Roanoke College for two consecutive years.
- She was introduced to cycling by riding on the back of a tandem mountain bike in 2005.
- Shelley's track bike was stolen shortly before the 2008 national championships but then later returned to a neighbor's house a few doors down. According to Shelley, the thief must have decided that her 47cm frame with no brakes, carbon wheels with tubulars, and a 92-inch gear was not ideal for commuting.
Shelley Olds' first challenge in sport was choosing one. A talented runner and soccer player, Shelley left those behind when she fell in love with track racing, a dynamic cycling discipline that offered a variety of Olympic events. She trained resolutely; she pushed herself and excelled at track racing, eventually settling on the points race as her Olympic medal target. Then in a bait-and-switch maneuver by the International Olympic Committee, the points race was removed from the Games and just like that, her motive for medaling vanished. But her goal was to compete in the Olympics, now all she needed was a new sport to excel.
Starting in 2010, Shelley transitioned laterally from a white-hot track racer to one of the world's top sprinters on the road, but she had more to prove. In practically no time, she claimed a respectable handful of podium finishes in prestigious stage races, as well as maintained status as a sprinter by clinching crit wins, including multiple national titles.
Her relatively brief career as a pro cyclist (2007- present) suggests an athlete with a mind trained on success and a body that obeys what the mind wants.

How to change predefile SLD in client side? The reason I want this is I want to turn label on and off on client side.
Easiest way is to have two SLD files and change the style in the WMS request depending on if you want labels on or off.
Alternatively you could have a separate layer with just labels and turn that on/off as needed.
Or you could try to have a local SLD file and upload it with each request but that will be slower and much harder to handle on the client.
you should look Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) example on openlayers here about parsing SLD and applying styles to a vector layer of course you will use in openlayers..
i hope it helps you...
I am trying to do the same. I came across the post.
Unfortunately, I haven't had luck to make it work.

What may be the very first redevelopment project built in Roswell in the newly formed Groveway Community will be up for consideration by city boards and city council beginning next week.
Lennar Multi-Family Investors, a subsidiary of Lennar Homes specializing in leased housing, has plans to replace Frazier Street apartments with a 318-unit, five-building apartment complex tentatively named Canton Street City Walk. "We've been interested in this property for five to eight months, maybe as long as 12 months. We think today is the right time," said Christopher Cassidy, president of Lennar Southeast Division.
"Our hope is the climate of the city has changed for the product we have to offer. It will fill a hole with something that's not been available before." Lennar would demolish the existing low income apartments on Frazier and replace them with one and two bedroom units ranging in size from 650 to 1,200 square feet. Rents at the new complex at 188 Norcross Street would start at $1,100 to $1,200 and go up to $2,500, Cassidy said. The apartments would be high end, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and hard tile in the bathrooms, he said.
"We focus on top 40 markets in the U.S. where there are high demographics and more infill is needed," Cassidy said. "When you think of Roswell, it's one of the top five markets in Georgia. It has a well defined city center that is walkable with restaurants and shopping." Steve Stroud, executive director of the Roswell Business Alliance, said this project was so new that he had just learned of it two weeks ago. "It's a good project. Lennar is a good builder that's got a great reputation," Stroud said. "It's a real shot in the arm for that area. It's exactly what people were thinking of when Groveway was created. But it has to be vetted and go through the system."
A few years ago, plans like this would never have passed muster with elected officials or others in the Roswell community. With the establishment of the Groveway Community district, which puts more emphasis on development aesthetics than land use, there is an opportunity for quality rental housing that wasn't there previously, Stroud said.
"We're in a different age and this is a different scenario. These are high end units, not your typical garden apartments," Stroud said. "In this new generation, not everyone wants to own. And there is so little rental housing inventory in Roswell right now. There's a 92 to 95 percent occupancy rate in existing apartment complexes." Cassidy said his company will offer relocation services to Frazier Street's current tenants. The historic preservation commission will review Lennar's conceptual site plan March 13. There will be a neighborhood meeting for the plan on March 21, and the planning commission will hear the application on April 16.
The application is scheduled to go before the mayor and city council on May 13.

Last year, my daughter Corbin married a woman named Jessica Gelman in a beautiful ceremony in Massachusetts. My wife, Nancy, and I feel blessed to have a new daughter-in-law, and to see Corbin so happy and secure.
Last year, my daughter Corbin married a woman named Jessica Gelman in a beautiful ceremony in Massachusetts. My wife, Nancy, and I feel blessed to have a new daughter-in-law, and to see Corbin so happy and secure. This is what every parent hopes for their children: that they will have the chance to build a life of purpose with someone who loves and supports them.
And what a life they are building together. This year, Nancy and I learned Corbin and Jessica are expecting, and we cannot wait to see our new grandson, and for their family � our daughter, our daughter-in-law and their child � to visit us here in Ohio.
Our grandson will be born in Massachusetts, where there is no question that Corbin and Jessica are the child�s legal parents. For Corbin to have the legal right to care for and best protect our grandson during a visit to Ohio, she must legally adopt her own child and carry the paperwork with her to prove she is a legal guardian here, where same-gender marriages are banned.
Corbin�s happiness throughout the past year has proved to me that marriage equality is a necessity for our society. Our way of life as Americans has not been weakened, but rather strengthened by the increasing support for marriage equality throughout the country. As states have begun to embrace same-sex marriage, we have not lost our commitment to essential family values. Instead, we�ve encouraged a new generation of Americans to prioritize marriage and the family stability it creates.
For these and many other reasons, I�m supporting FreedomOhio, the campaign to bring a Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment to voters. As its name suggests, this initiative is rooted in a central conservative value, namely, freedom � the freedom to love, the freedom of religion and the freedom from big government.
The Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment appeals to my belief in an efficient, limited government. This proposal will ensure that our state government can no longer insert itself into the most personal aspects of a couple�s life together.
Instead, it will enhance individual freedom and responsibility by allowing all Ohioans to marry the person they choose and receive the legal benefits that many are not currently entitled to under the law. By also delegating matters of faith to religious institutions, this ballot initiative empowers these communities to define marriage according to their own beliefs.
I believe that a happy, loving marriage is the foundation of a stable family. Nancy and I have been married for more than 40 years. Together, we�ve raised two remarkable children, written a book and have each been blessed with the happiness and strength that a loving partnership provides.
I am so thankful for the breadth of joy that my marriage has brought to my life, and it seems only right that all individuals should be free to pursue this happiness for themselves, no matter with whom they fall in love. I strive to always treat others the way I would like to be treated, and I believe this policy does just that. By encouraging loving couples to get married, we are building stronger, more-stable families. Our state should make it easier, not harder, for couples to make this commitment to each other.
On a more pragmatic level, this initiative is a common-sense idea that will foster a climate of innovation here in Ohio. As chancellor of the Board of Regents, I worked diligently to strengthen Ohio�s public colleges and universities and build our state�s competitiveness. We face a serious brain-drain threat, particularly among younger generations.
For our state to prosper into the future, it is essential that Ohio is a beacon of economic and cultural opportunity. Passing this amendment sends the message that our state is dynamic and eager to welcome any talented individual.
Finally, this ballot initiative represents one of the major civil-rights struggles of our time. Change is happening around us. When given the opportunity to embrace a more inclusive understanding of love and marriage, our fellow Americans are voting in support of marriage equality. It is time that we join them. It makes political and economic sense, it�s the right thing to do, and it�s the America and world we want for our daughter, our daughter-in-law, our grandson, our family and yours.
Jim Petro has served in a variety of state and local offices, most recently as chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents from 2011-2013.

For more than 30 years, Marlborough artist Paul Garnett has brought maritime history alive in accurate, gorgeous and dramatic renderings of the great battles, heroic exploits and memorable vessels of the age of sail.
As cannon fire rakes the Bonhomme Richard, Captain John Paul Jones stands tall on the quarterdeck about to shout defiantly, "Sir, I have not yet begun to fight.''
In Paul Garnett's masterful oil painting, the cannonade from HMS Serapis flares like dragon fire into the Continental Navy warship, bursting out its other side. Every splintered spar and tattered sail matches the exact rigging of the two vessels embattled on Sept. 23, 1799, off the English coast. Wearing his tricorner hat, Jones leans over a railing as fires rage below deck, licking from the stern cabin windows.
"When I paint, I feel I owe it to those long dead men to get it right,'' said Garnett in his Marlborough home studio. "The real historical facts are more amazing than fiction.''
For more than 30 years, the entirely self-taught artist has brought maritime history alive in accurate, gorgeous and dramatic renderings of the great battles, heroic exploits and memorable vessels of the age of sail.
"You can't learn this stuff from books,'' Garnett said at his easel beneath a skylight. "I can paint anything I can see.''
Starting with just five colors and a few brushes, Garnett mixes the rich hues and subtle shades he uses to capture white capped waves and scarlet pennants, the blue skies and frothing tempests of the great oceans.
"The easiest way to do something right in this world is to keep it simple,'' he said.
Sir Francis Drake's "Golden Hinde'' cruises beneath billowing sails along the coast of California. Set afire by mutineers, HMS Bounty burns off the coast of Pitcairn Island. The USS Constitution sails Atlantic waters in July 1798, flying the 15-star Old Glory.
A tall, sturdy man, Garnett went to sea for seven years as shipwright of the replica HMS Bounty that was built from scratch in Nova Scotia for the 1962 MGM film "Mutiny on the Bounty,'' starring Marlon Brando.
Several of Garnett's paintings, including the USS Constitution, the frigate Essex and a whaler, are currently exhibited in "The War of 1812 at Sea: Marine Paintings from the J. Russell Jinishian Gallery collection at the Fairfield Museum and History Center in Fairfield, Conn.
Featuring 16 paintings by six of the nation's outstanding maritime artists, the exhibit and two models "capture pivotal moments during the War of 1812, a troubled and dark time for our young nation,'' said museum executive director Michael Jehle.
Garnett's journey as a maritime artist began in landlocked Jamaica Plain as the "oldest of six kids'' of a shipping clerk for a local can company.
Always a good artist, he was the student who was asked to "draw covers for school newsletters and illustrate the yearbook cover.''
Garnett married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Kast, two years after graduation in 1970 and in November they'll celebrate their 42nd anniversary. They have an adult son and daughter and several grandchildren.
Always fascinated by Charles Laughton's portrayal of Captain William Bligh in the 1935 movie version of "Mutiny on the Bounty,'' Garnett fashioned an intricate wooden model of the Bounty. While vacationing in Florida, he carried it in a van to St. Petersburg where MGM Studios was berthing the replica ship as a tourist attraction.
After presenting his model of the square-rigged vessel to MGM Studios staff, Garnett was offered a job as the vessel's shipwright and spent seven years keeping the Bounty shipshape and accompanying it on voyages along the Atlantic coast and to Mexico and the Caribbean.
When that job finished, he spent nine years working for the Catholic Church carving and repairing religious sculptures, liturgical ornaments and statues of religious figures.
Since the 1980s, Garnett has sold maritime paintings on commission and in galleries in Massachusetts, Maine and Connecticut, while also illustrating book covers and the novels of William H. White, CDs, calendars and magazines. Numerous museums display his art, which has been featured on the History Channel's "Histories Mysteries: The True Story of Mutiny on the Bounty.''
As compact as a sea captain's cabin, Garnett's studio is packed with nautical books, maps, logs and studies of ships' rigging and heraldry. One of his most prized possessions is a leatherbound two-volume replica of Captain Bligh's ship's log from before and after the infamous mutiny.
A small placard hangs on his easel, reading: "The beatings will continue until morale improves.''
Several models of famous ships he crafted by hand are displayed in his studio. Scrap metal from the actual HMS Bounty rests on a shelf next near a signed photo of actress Linda Hamilton, a personal friend.
Throughout his house, a visitor can see numerous examples of Garnett's hobby, hand-sculpted models of famous movie monsters and heroes like King Kong and Jason and the Argonauts.
Though friends with legendary maritime painter John Stobart and highly regarded among fellow artists, Garnett sets a solitary course when it comes to his career. "I work alone,'' he said. "I'll paint all day and into the night if I can.''
Despite his years on the Bounty, Garnett, who is a skillful sailor, doesn't currently own a boat.
"If I had a boat,'' he said, "I wouldn't be here painting.''

On the Street……. Saint-Honore, Paris

A "going out to buy bread" outfit! I'd like to imagine that there are dreadlocks under the hat.
Nicely done.
Wow. her out to buy bread outfit is more put together then most people's trying as hard as possible outfits.
The hat does nothing for me; worse, it does nothing for her. Somebody tell me what's notable about this one…
That's a great look, especially for the winter season. That coat perfectly compliments all the black. Even the shopping bag looks good with this outfit!
simply lovely. hate to say this, but the ciggy really completes the look.
I love this. Sorry for the cliche, but she looks so French, that you just want to be her — in Paris.
Vintage YSL…the trench coat, the rib knit cap, the cigarette…Rive Gauche on Rive Droite.
Not seeing it here
At first I didn't see anything special about this picture besides her hat. Then I looked closely and noticed the hoodie under the chic trench coat. Punk sophisticate? Very cool.
Ooh, very nice bag and very nice coat. She looks relaxed and cool
Oh….how fab. She looks so effortlessly cool. I love how the chain bag dresses it up just a bit.
Ok, I see what you're going for – the color composition, the Marc jacobs fall 2006-ish hat, a trench with a hoodie. There are a lot of great elements here – but somehow the outfit *still* isn't worthy . . . A better rendered/tailored version of the same concept would be great. But this rendition leaves something to be desired.
I couldn't help but drool over the coordination of it all..the black clothes underneath and the beige coat with that pink shopping bag parked next to her..not to mention the beanie. She couldn't have looked better if she tried.
I'll bet when she puts her black gloves on that she looks pretty sleek.
I've never seen a hat like that. I like it, and appreciate that she hasn't buried her neck in an ultra bulky scarf.
I'm shocked!… and I want to say to her: "What have you done with your bag?"
Sleek? With that crinkled trench? no way. A more fitted cut for the trench would be much better. Love the beige/black combination. The hoodie is un-elegant big time…and the cigarette in the street too…
I love it. It makes me want to be in Paris.
Were you on your way to Colette? I like how relaxed this outfit is, the slouchy pant, the oversized knit hat and the loose trench with her Grand Mer's Chanel purse. It may be a new Chanel bag but it's so much chicer to think it's her Grandmas, n'est pas?
This is very similar to my "running erands here in fashion Siberia" look. Very simple with classic elements, yet very of the moment with nothing overdone. One doesn't have to have to be shouting "look at me I'm unique" with every outfit.
That trench coat makes it work. Great beige color.
She certainly looks warm and comfy. The width of her left leg coming out from under the coat is what makes this outfit not so great for me. If it matched the other leg, she'd look adorable.
i think this is sofia sanchez, a great fashion photographer
and she's argentinian not parisian but she does look very parisian
she looks like Paris to me…especially with the cig and the soft pink shopping bag!
A damsel in distress?
wooow, i really like that…. er, mushroom, on her head. very becoming.. or something.
…and I have that exact hat in two different colours from Printemps. I was wearing it today :)
The pink shopping bag on the ground makes her appear soooo at ease. For me that is the finishing touch here.
A perfect blend.
Like everything but the trousers, they are too wide to be worn with this kind of slouchy outfit, I'd love to see how she would look in a tighter pair.
I think she symbolizes the whole ´i´ve done something to my life and is really accomplished and intellectual and professional and takes great effort in that´ thing. which is a good thing because we need more people like that.

Okay, so the company i bought my 'Tezza from are dragging their heels . - no reason i should.
so this bad boy is mine.
http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/stock/ ... 191?size=m
i can live with a few scratches, because this car is going to get a few more.
it will go on within the hour of getting the keys. the coilovers, and soon aquired strut braces will be 1 week later.
once winter ends, big wheels go on, panels get tweaked to fit. and it will be perfect. (even with "mates rates" this guy costs money, and his work is unparalelled) the appointment has been made.
a new contact can source parts. to get the Turbo aspects rolling.(intercooler,BOV,etc) might go with an S13 intercooler kit from "Blitz" and make it work......or get a similar kit used. with advice from my Guru, i will be doing this on my own. apart from the manifold and welding. it will be as i want. i'm sure you guys understand, it has to be right.
I wanted to do the Greddy kit to get started, but have seen the light , and at game time i will have to shell out for a "Apexi power fc" which my Guru rejects, because they need a MAF sensor. but i can't afford the HKS unit.
it is what it is. building a car on the cheap means you gotta make do.
in the next few days???? pics of all the stuff i got ready, and my basic ride when it finally gets delivered. then the fun starts.

MIAMI GARDENS (AP) � Throughout training camp, Florida Atlantic coach Carl Pelini tried to avoid any use of the word �Miami� when addressing his team and his staff.
MIAMI GARDENS (AP) � Throughout training camp, Florida Atlantic coach Carl Pelini tried to avoid any use of the word �Miami� when addressing his team and his staff.
His players apparently did not adhere to such a policy.
Having a chance to play the Hurricanes for the first time is clearly a big deal to the Owls, whose home stadium is only about 35 miles north of the venue where they'll meet Miami on Friday night in the season-opener for both teams. The Hurricanes are favored by nearly five touchdowns, which doesn't seem to be deterring the Owls� hopes much.
�Not being from here, I never truly understood it,� said FAU offensive lineman Mustafa Johnson, a native of Corona, Calif. �But to the Florida guys, it means a great deal to them. A lot of these guys are Miami-Dade and things like that, and they have friends over there and guys they played with and grew up with. From being around them, I've learned it's something they're passionate about and excited about.�
Miami will pay tribute to its 1983 national championship team on Friday, the one coached by Howard Schnellenberger, who started the FAU program 15 years later.
�I wouldn't say I'm excited,� Schnellenberger said. �Thrilled would be more appropriate.�
It's not unusual for Miami to be playing in a game that has a rivalry feel, especially since so many college football rosters � not just in the Southeast, but around the country � are filled with guys who grew up playing in the talent-rich Sunshine State. This game is the first of four Miami will play against in-state foes this season, with Florida looming next week as well as later matchups with South Florida and Atlantic Coast Conference rival Florida State.
�There's a lot of people from down here, so they'll put this game high on their list,� Miami quarterback Stephen Morris said. �Our focus is, �So what?� Let's go out there and play our ball. We've got our work laid out, so we'll be ready.�
The Owls have lost 23 of their last 27 games, which might suggest that this is a matchup the Hurricanes could overlook, especially with the long-awaited game against the Gators coming next weekend.
But Miami insists that FAU has its full attention, based in large part around a game the Owls lost by 36 points last year.
Last Sept. 15, FAU went to Georgia and wound up losing 56-20. For the first quarter-and-a-half, though, FAU gave the then-No. 7 Bulldogs all they wanted, with the game tied at 14-14 after the first 23 minutes.
If nothing else, that showed Miami that FAU has some upset potential.
�We're looking at that game a lot,� Miami receiver Allen Hurns said. �We're going to be up for this.�
It's somewhat unusual these days for a college game to be played on Friday night in the Miami area, with so many high schools typically making that their game night. It does give the Hurricanes an extra day to prep for the showdown with Florida, but it also gives FAU a chance to take advantage of a national television audience.
For Pelini, that was enough of a selling point, though he indicated a customary Saturday game would have been preferable.
More importantly to him, he doesn't want the perceived rivalry to overshadow the game plan. He said FAU's most disappointing loss last season came against FIU, another school based in Miami � and because of that proximity, tensions ran high, and Pelini thought that kept his team from executing anywhere near its potential.
He doesn't want to see the same thing happen Friday.
�You don't have to coach the emotion,� Pelini said. �It's going to be there. You've got to coach the focus and the execution. That's what may get lost in the shuffle. Emotion's going to be there. Whether we'll be ready to play or not, our players will be emotionally ready when they take the field.�

Right now, Southwest lets passengers who don't use their ticket apply the price toward a new ticket. Southwest says it can reduce no-shows and generate more revenue by adding the cancellation fee on restricted tickets.
Company officials said the new fee will start next year, but they didn't give an exact date or say how much the fee will be.
Southwest also plans to increase fees it already charges, such as for early check-in and overweight bags. Its AirTran Airways subsidiary will raise bag fees in February.

Other Proposed Uses
Barberry is a bush that grows wild in Europe and North America. It is closely related to Oregon grape ( Berberis aquifolium ). The root, stem, bark, and fruit of barberry are all used medicinally. Barberry was traditionally used as a treatment for digestive problems, including constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia (stomach upset), heartburn, and loss of appetite. It was said to work by increasing the flow of bile, and on this basis it has also been used for liver and gallbladder problems. Topical preparations of barberry have been recommended for the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, and minor wounds.
What is Barberry Used for Today?
There are no medically established uses of barberry. Only double-blind placebo-controlled studies , can establish a treatment effective, and none have been performed on barberry. (For information on why this type of study is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies? )
Very weak evidence (too weak to be relied upon at all) hints that barberry root extracts may have anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing, and analgesic (pain-reducing) effects. 1,2
Similarly weak evidence hints that barberry fruit may have antihypertensive and antihistaminic effects. 3,4
Barberry, like goldenseal and Oregon grape , contains the chemical berberine. There has been some studies of purified berberine that might apply to barberry, as well. Berberine inhibits the growth of many microorganisms, including fungi, protozoa, and bacteria. 5-11,22 In one placebo-controlled study, berberine effectively reduced lung injury among lung cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. 23
On this basis, berberine has been proposed as a topical antiseptic for use in minor wounds and vaginal infections . Berberine has also shown potential as a treatment for various heart-related conditions, including reducing high cholesterol and high blood pressure and preventing heart arrhythmias . 12-14 However, it is not clear that barberry provides enough berberine to produce any of these potential benefits.
Topical formulations of the related plant Oregon grape have shown some promise for psoriasis , 15-17 and barberry has been marketed for this condition as well. However, there is no direct evidence that it works.
Barberry significantly reduced the number of inflamed, noninflamed, and acne facial lesions in a small randomized trial of 49 adolescents aged 12-17 years old with moderate to severe acne. Acne severity (based on a standard scale) was also significantly improved. The trial compared barberry (600 mg per day orally for 4 weeks) to placebo. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any other studies that support or refute these findings and this is a very small study so it is hard to draw any firm conclusions. 24
Barberry is traditionally used at a dose of 2 grams three times daily, or an equivalent amount in extract form. For treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions, barberry is used in the form of a 10% cream, applied to the skin three times daily.
Safety Issues
One study suggests that topical use of berberine could cause photosensitivity (an increased tendency to react to sun exposure. 18 Berberine-containing herbs should not be used by pregnant women because berberine may increase levels of bilirubin, 19 potentially damaging the fetus, and might also cause genetic damage. 20 Individuals who already have elevated levels of bilirubin (jaundice), or any other form of liver disease, should also avoid berberine-containing herbs.
Safety in young children and nursing women has not been established.
One study hints that berberine may decrease the efficacy of the drug tetracycline. 21
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are using antibiotics in the tetracycline family, barberry might decrease their effectiveness.

Hundreds of mouners gathered Wednesday to pay their respects to Erin Gallagher (13), from Donegal, who committed suicide having been bullied online. The police are now speaking to two schoolgirls who presented themselves for interview, along with their parents.
Accusations against the girls were made online including some vile comments, the Evening Herald reports.
Gallagher committed suicide last weekend. She had been bullied online, on the social networking sites Ask.fm and Facebook. Her family knew she was being bullied and had contacted the police earlier in October. On Saturday members of her family discovered the 13-year-old's body in their home.
A police source said "There is a real concern for their safety. At the end of the day all those involved in this tragic incident are very young people, they are children.
"The facts of the case will be required for an inquest but there is also a welfare aspect to this."
Although police, social workers and parents involved are looking in to Erin Gallagher's case it is unlikely that anyone will be charged over Gallagher's death.
Gallagher's mother, Lorraine, gave the police her cell phone in the hope that they might find some information in it. She believes that her teenage daughter receives malicious text messages before she took her life.
As the police continued their investigation hundreds were packed inside St. Mary's Church, in Stranorlar, County Donegal to say goodbye to the 13-year-old schoolgirl.
Father Joe Duffy told the congregation of the "extremely tragic circumstances" of her death. He also said that society had failed Gallagher and said that cyber bullying needed to be dealt with. Pupil's from Gallagher's school, Finn Valley College, lined the streets outside the church.
In attendance at the service was her mother Lorraine, sister Shannon (15) and her little brother, four-year-old Sean James.

U.S. Men Face World League Rematch with Japan

Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 26, 2006) – The U.S. Men's National Team is back in pool-play action at the 2006 FIVB World League this weekend and it is facing a very familiar foe: Japan.
The two teams played just last weekend in Hiroshima, Japan, and the U.S. Men improved their standings in World League Pool A on July 22-23 from last to second by winning both matches. In fact, the United States swept six straight games from the Japanese, winning by scores of 25-15, 25-22, 25-17on July 22 and 25-12, 25-21, 25-18 on July 23.
It was a far cry from the first weekend of World League, when the U.S. Men dropped two straight matches to Poland at the "E" Center in Salt Lake City, Utah (July 14: 22-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23 and July 15: 26-24, 25-13, 20-25, 25-22).
But the United States knows that Japan is going to come back strong when the two teams meet at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., on July 29-30. The games will start at 7 p.m. CDT each night and will be shown live on CSTV.
"(Japan) clearly didn't play as well as it could have," said U.S. outside hitter Jim Polster (Laguna Niguel, Calif.), who lived in St. Paul, Minn., until he was 17 years old. "They're a much better team than that. They're going to make some adjustments."
"It's always tough playing the same team for four straight matches," U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "There's a possibility that some complacency could come into it.
"I think our guys know that if we don't step on the court and bring our best game, Japan could beat us."
One big change between the first weekend and the second for the United States was its starting lineup. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and Phil Eatherton (Glencoe, Mo.) started at middle blocker and David McKenzie (Littleton, Colo.) joined the starting lineup at opposite. McCutcheon is not planning any changes in the lineup for Minneapolis. The other starters are Polster, Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.), Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) at setter. Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) is the U.S. libero.
Priddy has led the U.S. in kills in every World League match so far. Ryuji Naohiro and Yusuke "Gottsu" Ishijima led Japan in the two matches in Hiroshima.

BAGHDAD (AP) - A suicide bomber detonated explosives at a Baghdad cafe crowded with young people late Thursday, killing at least 26 and wounding dozens ahead of provincial elections scheduled for the weekend.
The rare evening attack, which came at the start of the local weekend, brought to 30 the number of people killed across the country Thursday.
The cafe bomber struck about 9:30 p.m. Police said that two children and a woman who were passing by at the time of the blast were among the dead. More than 50 people were wounded.
The packed cafe is on the third floor of a building in the predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Amiriyah. Police said the cafe was packed with young people enjoying water pipes and playing pool.
Earlier in the day, a car bomb struck an army convoy in Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, killing three soldiers and wounding five others. Hours later, one policeman was killed and three others were wounded when gunmen attacked a security checkpoint in western Baghdad, police said.
Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.
Violence has been on the rise ahead of provincial elections to be held on Saturday. The vote is for local officials in several provinces across the country, including the capital, Baghdad. Authorities have been vowing to bolster security ahead of the elections.
Also on Thursday, Iraq's self-ruled Kurdish region announced that new parliamentary and presidential elections will be held on Sept. 21.
A Kurdish government statement said that Masoud Barzani, the president of the Kurdish region, approved the date for the elections and called for a fair election.
Following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the Kurdish area was recognized as an autonomous region that is in many ways politically independent from Baghdad. Since then, the two main Kurdish parties - the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Democratic Party of Kurdistan - have joined forces to rule the oil-rich region.
Baghdad and the Kurds have been at loggerheads for years over several issues, including oil and control over disputed areas claimed by both sides. The vote for a new 111-seat National Assembly would be the third election in the three-province Kurdish region since 2005.

Victoria County was located in South-Eastern Ontario The County was established in 1851 from Peterborough County and named for Queen Victoria.
The area was first opened for settlement in 1821 and the first settlers arrived in 1825. They were Irish Protestants from County Fermanagh, Ireland. They were soon followed by other Irish & Scottish settlers. As with most counties, the southern part was settled first.
In 1858 twelve new townships were added to Victoria County. In 1868 seven of the townships were removed from Victoria County (and attached to Muskoka District).
In 2001, the county was merged with all of its constituent municipalities to form the City of Kawartha Lakes
Former townships of Victoria County were Bexley, Carden, Dalton, Eldon, Emily, Fenelon, Laxton, Digby and Longford, Manvers, Mariposa, Ops, Somerville, Verulam.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aug 23, 2012 / 04:06 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The official flag of the Olympic Games, on its way from London to Rio de Janeiro's Shrine of Christ the Redeemer, was received by Archbishop Orani Tempesta and World Youth Day volunteers.
The flag was presented during a ceremony on Aug. 19 attended by the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, and the president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, Carlos Arthur Nuzman.
Archbishop Orani said the presence of the flag next to Christ the Redeemer should be a reminder that the preparations for the Summer Games in 2016 should take place in an atmosphere of peace and fraternity.
"We pray for the intercession of Christ the Redeemer so that, not only during the Olympics, the presence of the Olympic flag will lead us to seek after peace, understanding and fraternity," the archbishop said.
After the ceremony to receive the flag, the rector of the Shrine of Christ the Redeemer, Father Omar Raposo, celebrated Mass for the Wolrd Youth Day volunteers. In his homily, he reflected on the mission Christians have in the world.
"Service to God demands of us sacrifice and good will. We do everything for love of God and our Redeemer," he said.
Pope Benedict is slated to attend the global youth event next summer, which will take place from July 23-July 28.

Congratulations to Intel ISEF 2018 Winners!
At this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), Oliver Nicholls, 19, of Sydney, Australia, was awarded first place for designing and building a prototype of an autonomous robotic window cleaner for commercial buildings. In essence, a flying dronelike device is tethered to the roof of a building and equipped with a powerful spray nozzle and rotating scrubbers. The $2,300 device can withstand 28-mile-per-hour winds and could replace traditional methods that can exceed $11,000 per cleaning, as well as reduce injuries in this high-risk occupation. Nicholls received the Gordon E. Moore Award of $75,000, named in honor of the Intel cofounder and fellow scientist.
Meghana Bollimpalli, 17, of Little Rock, Ark., received one of two Intel Foundation Young Scientist Awards of $50,000 for her novel, low-cost approach for synthesizing materials that could greatly cut the production and energy costs of making electrodes for devices like supercapacitors. She found that combining common substances like tea and molasses with nitrogen and phosphorus in a commercial microwave formed a powder that could be used as a coating for electrode-like materials, giving the materials properties similar to more expensive metals like platinum.
Dhruvik Parikh, 18, of Bothell, Wash., received the other Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for his development of less expensive yet more robust ion exchange membranes for use in large, industrial-scale batteries for storing solar- or wind-generated electricity for later distribution. His composite membrane has 10 times the proton conductivity of the industry's standard membrane, while reducing production costs by about 30 percent.
Intel ISEF is a program of Society for Science & the Public and is the world's largest international pre-college science competition. This year's competition featured nearly 1,800 young scientists selected from 420 affiliate fairs in 81 countries, regions and territories. In addition to the top winners, approximately 600 finalists received awards and prizes for their innovative research, including 22 "Best of Category" winners, who each received a $5,000 prize in addition to a $3,000 first-place award. The Intel Foundation also awarded a $1,000 grant to each winner's school and to the affiliated fair that the winner represented.

The army council has announced its fourth Communiqué from few moments ago on air.
These are the most important points the generals have agreed on :
- The army is obliged to what was said in the previous communiqués.
- The government and the people to return back to their responsibilities toward the country
- The current government and governors will continue performing its duties till we have a new elected government.
- The council is looking forward to guarantee the peaceful transitional of power in a democratic system that allows civil state.
- Egypt respects its international treaties
- The army calls the people of Egypt to cooperate with the police.
Ok the world especially Israel and the U.S only care for the assurance that Egypt still respects its international treaties or to be accurate Camp David treaty but yet what we care about in Egypt here in this very important time :
The assurance that the the army council will guarantee the peaceful transitional of rule in a democratic system that allows civil state , yes a civil state not a military state , this is a very important thing.
People are speaking about a Turkish scenario taking place in Egypt , we do not know that yet and I think we must know that Egypt is not Turkey , Egypt is not Tunisia despite all similarities. We can learn from the Turkey and Tunisia though.
Another important point in this communiqué is that we are going to have a new government instead of Ahmed Shafik's cahinet. " By the way minister of information Anas El-Fiky was arrested in his attempt to get away from the country to London"
Regarding the police , well we are ready to open an page with them but they have to be there , in the past 48 hours there was not a single officer or solider protecting the streets at night , some will say that there is a curfew but let's be frank there was not a real curfew in Egypt. Already today the curfew has become from 12 AM to 6 AM.

Views of Venice by Canaletto and His Rivals in Landmark Exhibition at the National Gallery of Art

The National Gallery of Art
, Washington, presents 20 of Canaletto's finest paintings of Venice with 33 by his most important contemporaries, including Gaspar Vanvitelli, Luca Carlevarijs, Michele Marieschi, Bernardo Bellotto, and Francesco Guardi, in Venice: Canaletto and His Rivals, on view from February 20 through May 30, 2011, in the East Building. These dazzling cityscapes represent the best view painters of Veniceeach responding to the city in his own way, and each competing in a market driven largely by the British Grand Tour, at its height during the 18th century.
"Unlike previous exhibitions on Venice or Canaletto, this one focuses on rivalries that pitted the artist against his fellow painters. Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to compare their differing portrayals of the same or similar sites or monuments. We are deeply grateful to our supporters for making this landmark show possible," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art.
The entrance to the exhibition features a 35-foot-long gondola that once belonged to the American painter Thomas Moran and is now in the collection of the Mariners' Museum, Newport News, VA. One of the world's oldest gondolas, it visually "transports" visitors to the lagoon city celebrated in the views of Canaletto and his rivals.
The convergence of art and science is represented in a monumental first edition of Iconografica Rappresentatione della Inclita Città di Venezia (1729), one of the greatest printed maps of cities, and two 18th-century examples of the camera obscura, an optical device likely to have been used by the view painters.
Celebrating Italy
The exhibition is part of ITALY@150, a series of activities in Washington, DC, and throughout the United States, that celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and the long-lasting friendship between the two countries.
From March 1 to May 30, Washington DC will honor Italian culture with La Dolce DC, a citywide celebration of all things Italian, timed to coincide with the opening of Venice: Canaletto and His Rivals. In addition to this landmark exhibition and the outstanding Italian masterpieces in the permanent collection, the Gallery will present an array of offerings celebrating Italian culture, including lectures, film programs, concerts, Gallery Talks, and Garden Café Italia.
The Exhibition
Europe has many beautiful cities, but only Venice inspired a school of view painters who depicted the city, stone by stone and canal by canal, capturing views that are still recognizable today. The genre of vedute (view paintings) culminated in Venice in the 18th century with Giovanni Antonio Canal (16971768), known as Canaletto.
In 1719 Canaletto, who was trained as a painter of theatrical scenery, visited Rome where he was inspired to begin view painting. In the late 1720s, in response to market demand, he began to replace the somberness of his earlier works with views drenched in sunlight. Within a decade, Canaletto dominated the genre and the exhibition includes many of his greatest masterpieces, from such prestigious collections as that of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and National Gallery London.
Throughout the exhibition Canaletto's major works are juxtaposed with those of his rivals to illuminate their complex relationships. Organized chronologically, the exhibition includes a pivotal work by Gaspar Vanvitelli (16531736), Canaletto's precursor and the founding father of Italian view painting, titled The Molo from the Bacino di San Marco (1697). Trained in the Netherlands and based mostly in Rome, Vanvitelli depicted a Venice distinctly calm in comparison to the work of Canaletto and his contemporaries who followed.
One of Vanvitelli's successors and the first view painter in Venice to depend on foreign patronage was Luca Carlevarijs (16631729), an artist Canaletto soon eclipsed. Visitors to the Gallery can see important early works by Canaletto, such as The Piazza San Marco, Looking East (1723), on view next to similar subjects by Carlevarijs.
The festivals, regattas, and ceremonies of Venice are showcased in the exhibition through several important works, including Canaletto's The Molo from the Bacino di San Marco on Ascension Day (c. 17331734). Historical events of the city were also recorded by the view painters, such as in Carlevarijs' pioneering composition The Reception of the British Ambassador Charles Montagu, 4th Earl of Manchester, at the Doge's Palace, 22 September 1707 (c. 17071708).
Canaletto's closest competitor was the short-lived but highly original Michele Marieschi (17101743), the most spontaneous of the view painters. Marieschi employed characteristically broad brushstrokes that come to light in The Bacino di San Marco (about 1739-1740).
At the height of Canaletto's fame, his workshop offered the finest training a view painter could receive. He taught his nephew Bernardo Bellotto (17211780), whose views are sometimes confused with those of his uncle. A unique characteristic of Bellotto's style is his vibrant blue sky, seen most dramatically in The Piazzetta, Looking North (c. 1743).
The development of Venetian view painting culminated with Francesco Guardi (17121793), whose works close the exhibition. A rival who appeared during the final decade of Canaletto's life, Guardi anticipated the rise of romanticism in the 19th century, and emphasized the fragility of Venice rather than its permanence. In San Giorgio Maggiore and the Giudecca (about 1780), Guardi depicts a gentle, poetic impression of the city.
View painters prized topographical accuracy in their work. A tool they may have used to construct their views is the camera obscuraan optical device that helped painters project, invert, and trace the buildings and vistas of Venice. Two 18th-century examples of the camera obscura will be on view, providing an opportunity for visitors to learn more about this scientific tool.
The map entitled Iconografica Rappresentatione della Inclita Città di Venezia (1729), a recent acquisition of the National Gallery of Art, combines the talents of the leading Venetian figure painter of the decade, Sebastiano Ricci (16591734), and the leading Venetian printmaker in the 1720s and early 1730s, Giovanni Antonio Faldoni (c. 1690c. 1770), with views by Francesco Zucchi (16921764), mostly after Luca Carlevarijs. Using groundbreaking surveying tools and mathematics of the day, Lodovico Ughi (active 17101730) prepared precise measurements of buildings, streets, canals, and gardens, making this mapmeasuring approximately 60 x 72 inchesauthoritative for more than a century.

Topic: Why did Boba's dart miss so badly in Rotj?
Ok this haunts me: why did Boba miss so badly in Rotj? Ok you know when he shoots a dart 3 feet above Luke's head and Han hits hit jetpack? Why did he miss so badly? I always tell myself he missed because Han hit him at the exact same time but it still haunts me.....any help out there?

The hot topic these days is the bugout bag. You know, a bag of important stuff you think you will need when the excrement hits the oscillating blades. What do you need really depends on what you expect. I have one kit made just in case I have an active shooter situation in my jurisdiction. It is a Level III plate carrier with extra soft armor, four magazines for the AR-15, a Tops Pry Knife to help open doors and a trauma kit on the back. I can put the plate carrier right over my uniform, thus giving me added ballistic protection and the tools I need to stop the threat and render aid.
Tell what is in your bug-out-bag and win a prize!
I also have various other kits in various locations that will provide me things like extra ammo for my duty sidearm, a multi-tool, first-aid gear, flex cuffs. There is another kit in which I keep a spare sidearm, ammo, a trauma pack (are you noticing a trend on the trauma kit theme here?) flashlight, knife, multi-tool and more. And I have one of the Mossberg JIC shotguns in a tube, loaded up with extra ammo, first-aid gear, a knife or three, a water filter and sheet of heavy plastic for a basic tent. I think I'm ready.
For me, the bug-out kit requires some sort of firearm or spare ammo. When things are very bad, people might want to fight. They might want to take what is yours. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. So… Rule #1: Have a gun. Be trained in its use. Be familiar with its operation. Know its capabilities and, perhaps most importantly, be mentally ready to use it.
Rule #2: Have a trauma kit. An exchange of gunfire usually means someone is going to need medical help. If that someone is someone you want to save you will likely need, at the bare minimum a tourniquet, a compress dressing, first aid tape or wrap, bandage material or surgical sponges and gloves.
Beyond that, your bug out kit is yours to develop as you wish… And we here at Gun Digest would like to know how you are preparing for an unhealthy turn of events.
So… tell us what is in your go-bag; your bug-out kit, your emergency escape pod. If you do, you will be put into a drawing for a cool knife and you might just help others on the road to being prepared. Click here for the link, check it out. Win the knife. https://gundigest.com/tell-us-whats-in-your-bug-out-bag

You create and modify specialized password policies in the same way that you create and modify any other directory entry. The following procedure demonstrates use of a text editor to write the password policy entry in LDIF. Then you use the ldapmodify command with the -a option to add the password policy entry to the directory.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Example data as shown here is from Example.ldif unless stated otherwise.
Complete a password policy worksheet for the policy you want to create.
See Worksheet for Defining Password Policy for a sample.
Write a password policy entry, in LDIF, that is based on the worksheet.
For example, the following policy entry specifies a password policy for temporary employees at Example.com, whose subtree root is dc=example,dc=com:
dn: cn=TempPolicy,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: pwdPolicy objectClass: sunPwdPolicy objectClass: LDAPsubentry cn: TempPolicy pwdAttribute: userPassword pwdCheckQuality: 2 pwdLockout: TRUE pwdLockoutDuration: 300 pwdMaxFailure: 3 pwdMustChange: TRUE
In addition to the default password policy settings, the policy as shown here specifies additional behaviors. Password quality checks are enforced. Accounts are locked for five minutes, 300 seconds, after three consecutive bind failures. Passwords must be changed after the passwords are reset. After the policy is assigned to user accounts, the settings explicitly specified here override the default password policy.
Add the password policy entry to the directory.
For example, the following command adds the password policy for temporary employees at Example.com under dc=example,dc=com. The password policy has been saved in a file named pwp.ldif.
$ ldapmodify -a -D uid=kvaughan,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com -w - -f pwp.ldif Enter bind password: adding new entry cn=TempPolicy,dc=example,dc=com $ ldapsearch -D uid=kvaughan,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com -w --b dc=example,dc=com \ "(&(objectclass=ldapsubentry)(cn=temppolicy))" Enter bind password: version: 1 dn: cn=TempPolicy,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: pwdPolicy objectClass: LDAPsubentry cn: TempPolicy pwdCheckQuality: 2 pwdLockout: TRUE pwdLockoutDuration: 300 pwdMaxFailure: 3 pwdMustChange: TRUE $
As shown in Example.ldif, kvaughan is an Human Resources manager who has access to modify dc=example,dc=com entries. Vaughan's bind password, as shown in Example.ldif, is bribery.
To define which user accounts are governed by the policies you define, see To Assign a Password Policy to an Individual Account or To Assign a Password Policy Using Roles and CoS.

LAS VEGAS — In the final fight on the prelims card at UFC 170, Alexis Davis and Jessica Eye battled to claim their place in the UFC women's bantamweight division.
In the end, the judges awarded Davis a split-decision victory much to the crowd's dismay Saturday at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
As the crowd booed the decision, Eye stormed out of the ring. The judges scored it 28-29, 29-28, 29-28.
Some thought Eye was better trading punches in the first and third rounds. Davis, however, was in complete control in the second round, taking Eye down in the first minute and keeping her on the mat for the rest of the round.
Davis (16-5) has now won all three of her UFC fights in the past eight months and must be considered a contender for the title.
Eye (10-2, 1 no contest) defeated Sarah Kaufman in her UFC debut in October only to have it declared a no contest because she tested positive for cannabinoids.

Aunt Joy
Mattie Joy Campbell Moore, 2 August 1914 – 24 December 2008
Last week I received a letter from my Cousin Joan on the death of her mother, Mattie Joy Campbell Moore – my Aunt Joy. We Moore cousins have known for some time that this would not be too far off, as Aunt Joy was 94 years old and getting progressively weaker. But this did not make it easier for us to hear the news.
When my family was going through difficult times, Aunt Joy and Uncle Howard took me into their home, gave me stability, and helped to raise me – providing not only the physical necessities but also a positive influence on essential aspects of character formation. And Aunt Joy was actually responsible for my choice of profession.
I don't know what inspired her to do it, but somewhere she got the idea of taking me (14 years old at the time) and her 10-year-old grandson Allen, who was staying with us at the time, to see Sergey Bondarchuk's 1967 movie version of Tolstoy's War and Peace. The movie was in Russian with subtitles, about seven hours long and divided into two parts shown a week apart, and it had long battle sequences and intellectual conversations. Allen and I were absolutely entranced by it. We spoke of little else during the week in between the two installments. Would Pierre and Natasha get together? What would happen to Prince Andrey? (Obviously, we had not read the book and did not know the ending.) Soon after this I did read the book, and four years later I went off to study Russian at Georgetown, where I met my husband; and a few years after that I became a translator. Thank you, Aunt Joy.
Aunt Joy was married to my Uncle Howard Moore, my mother's oldest brother. Uncle Howard was known among local music circles as a highly talented maker of violins (even though he was technically an amateur, as it was not his main profession), and he and Aunt Joy would take me to old-time fiddling festivals and meetings of the Southern California Old-Time Fiddlers' Association, where they served as officers. That left its mark on me, too – I have an awesome collection of fiddling music from around the world.
Some of the best times I remember with Aunt Joy involved making our favorite dessert, "Boozy Fruit Salad" (fruit, whipped cream, coconut, and a liberal splashing of Amaretto). From her I learned one of the most enjoyable treatments for a really bad cold – a hot toddy.
Aunt Joy was a petite woman, but she could be intimidating and ferocious. She could also laugh uproariously at anything and everything, including herself. She taught me good manners, self-reliance, a little bit of humility, and frugal and industrious habits (or tried to, at any rate). I admit at times I must have seemed a hopeless case. But I couldn't help but be influenced by her philosophy of life: be strong and don't let life get you down. This helped her rise to the top professional ranks during years she worked for the telephone company. She was one of those people who was meant to lead.

At that time there were not any social service agencies. People took care of relatives and perhaps others because it was the "right" thing to do. I found that in my research of my own family, if someone needed a home my greatgrandmother would take them in. Probably the others would too, I just have not hear ab out it, yet.ReplyDelete
Aunt Joy sounds like she was a true treasure!ReplyDelete
Claudia and Tipper,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments. You are right, she really was a treasure; I just hope I can even have half her gumption!
A hot toddy- I remember that from my grandmother. I think it burned the germs out. Your aunt Joy sounds like she was a lovely person. I'm sorry for your family's loss.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Colleen. I can definitely remember the "burning" part, but it seemed to do the job!ReplyDelete
What a lovely tribute to a special person. One thing that I have found in my own research to my family is that at one time, people were truly raised by a "village" with extended family nearby. When people got older, they helped each other out. Very different from today where we are all like little "islands"! I am sorry for you loss but happy to hear that you had an opportunity to learn so much from her!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Andrea. As much as I miss her, I can still conjure up some of Aunt Joy's funnier comments in my mind and they still make me laugh.ReplyDelete
