Join us in the store on Thursday, July 13th at 7:00 PM to hear Jerry Rice read and discuss his new book, "Raven Avenging." Book signing to follow!
Should a citizen ever take the law into his own hands? When Gunnar "Raven" Ravendal's beloved niece Kari is lured into sex slavery and murdered, he must choose between law and order and vigilante justice. As Raven moves across the country's Mafia-controlled terrain, romancing criminal law professor Linda Simone and dodging hot-in-pursuit New York Organized Crime Strike Force detectives Flash Maruska and Henry Grogan, he uses his great strength and hunter's cunning to stay one step ahead. Set in the late 1970s, when the "Minnesota Pipeline" was first exposed, Raven Avenging is a complex and gripping read exploring a subject still relevant today.
Jerry Rice is a Harvard educated trial lawyer at Hellmuth & Johnson who has handled and tried a wide variety of cases in courts at all levels throughout the United States since the early 1960s. He is the author of two law-related books and thousands of briefs and memoranda as well as occasional poetry, short stories and memoirs. Raven Avenging is his first novel. He regards himself as a member of our justice system, rather than a businessman. Vindicating the constitutional rights of his clients has given him great satisfaction throughout his career. He is a native of Roseau, MN in the far northwest corner of the state and is an avid outdoorsman and conservationist. He and his wife Pat love world travel and the cultural life of the Twin Cities of Minnesota and Taos, New Mexico.

2011 年考研英语(二)真题完整版 Section I Use of English Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word (s) for each numbered black and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET
1. (10 points) The Internet affords anonymity to its users, a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web. Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ? Last month, Howard Schmidt, the nation's cyber-czar, offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a "voluntary trusted identity" system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of online services. The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join, and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver's license 10 by the government. Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these"single sign-on" systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services. 12 .the approach would create a "walled garden" n cyberspace, with safe "neighborhoods" and bright "streetlights" to establish a sense of a 13 community. Mr. Schmidt described it as a "voluntary ecosystem" in which "individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 ,trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs"。 Still, the administration's plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet "drive's license" mentality. The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts,who worry that the "voluntary ecosystem" envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.

Section II Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET
1. (40points) Text 1 Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs's board as an outside director in January 20
00: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much eroticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman's compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said. Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased, advisers on a firm's board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive's proposals. If the sky, and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises. The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than
10,000 firms and more than
64,000 different directors between 1989 and 20
04. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those "surprise" disappearances by directors under the age of
70. They fount that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they "trade up." Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms. But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.
21. According to Paragraph
1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for . [A]gaining excessive profits [B]failing to fulfill her duty [C]refusing to make compromises [D]leaving the board in tough times
22. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be . [A]generous investors [B]unbiased executives [C]share price forecasters [D]independent advisers
23. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director's surprise departure, the firm is likely to . [A]become more stable [B]report increased earnings [C]do less well in the stock market [D]perform worse in lawsuits
24. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors . [A]may stay for the attractive offers from the firm
[B]have often had records of wrongdoings in the firm [C]are accustomed to stress-free work in the firm [D]will decline incentives from the firm
25. The author's attitude toward the role of outside directors is . [A]permissive [B]positive [C]scornful [D]critical Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper? A year ago the end seemed near. The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the internet. Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom. America's Federal Trade commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers. Should they become charitable corporations? Should the state subsidize them ? It will hold another meeting soon. But the discussions now seem out of date. In much of the world there is the sign of crisis. German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession. Even American newspapers, which inhabit the most troubled come of the global industry, have not only survived but often returned to profit. Not the 20% profit margins that were routine a few years ago, but profit all the same. It has not been much fun. Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard. The American Society of News Editors reckons that
13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 20
07. Readers are paying more for slimmer products. Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs. Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and, sadly for many journalists, they can be pushed further. Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses, with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 20
08, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD)。 In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable. The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody, but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspaper are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers have gone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off. Newspapers are less complete as a result. But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
26. By saying "Newspapers like … their own doom" (Lines 3-
4, Para.
1), the author indicates that newspaper . [A]neglected the sign of crisis [B]failed to get state subsidies [C]were not charitable corporations [D]were in a desperate situation
27. Some newspapers refused delivery to distant suburbs probably because . [A]readers threatened to pay less [B]newspapers wanted to reduce costs [C]journalists reported little about these areas [D]subscribers complained about slimmer products
28. Compared with their American counterparts, Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they . [A]have more sources of revenue [B]have more balanced newsrooms [C]are less dependent on advertising [D]are less affected by readership
29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?
[A]Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers. [B]Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper. [C]Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business. [D]Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.
30. The most appropriate title for this text would be . [A]American Newspapers: Struggling for Survival [B]American Newspapers: Gone with the Wind [C]American Newspapers: A Thriving Business [D]American Newspapers: A Hopeless Story Text 3 We tend to think of the decades immediately following World War II as a time of prosperity and growth, with soldiers returning home by the millions, going off to college on the G. I. Bill and lining up at the marriage bureaus. But when it came to their houses, it was a time of common sense and a belief that less could truly be more. During the Depression and the war, Americans had learned to live with less, and that restraint, in combination with the postwar confidence in the future, made small, efficient housing positively stylish. Economic condition was only a stimulus for the trend toward efficient living. The phrase "less is more" was actually first popularized by a German, the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who like other people associated with the Bauhaus, a school of design, emigrated to the United States before World War II and took up posts at American architecture schools. These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture, but none more so that Mies. Mies's signature phrase means that less decoration, properly organized, has more impact that a lot. Elegance, he believed, did not derive from abundance. Like other modern architects, he employed metal, glass and laminated wood-materials that we take for granted today buy that in the 1940s symbolized the future. Mies's sophisticated presentation masked the fact that the spaces he designed were small and efficient, rather than big and often empty. The apartments in the elegant towers Mies built on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive, for example, were smaller-two-bedroom units under
1,000 square feet-than those in their older neighbors along the city's Gold Coast. But they were popular because of their airy glass walls, the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings' details and proportions, the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time. The trend toward "less" was not entirely foreign. In the 1930s Frank Lloyd Wright started building more modest and efficient houses-usually around
1,200 square feet-than the spreading two-story ones he had designed in the 1890s and the early 20th century. The "Case Study Houses" commissioned from talented modern architects by California Arts Architecture magazine between 1945 and 1962 were yet another homegrown influence on the "less is more" trend. Aesthetic effect came from the landscape, new materials and forthright detailing. In his Case Study House, Ralph everyday life ? few American families acquired helicopters, though most eventually got clothes dryers ? but his belief that self-sufficiency was both desirable and inevitable was widely shared.
31. The postwar American housing style largely reflected the Americans' . [A]prosperity and growth [B]efficiency and practicality [C]restraint and confidence [D]pride and faithfulness
32. Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3 about Bauhaus? [A]It was founded by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. [B]Its designing concept was affected by World War II. [C]Mos

It's Not White "Privilege"; It's White "Insulation"
...however well-intended its original purpose (and let's assume here that it was well-intended), it has devolved into a tool for delegitimizing people on the basis of their race and/or sex. It doesn't allow for looking people at individuals, but defines them based solely on group characteristics. In that, it perfectly mimics the racism it supposedly targets.
The concept embodied by that use of "privilege" is real, but the actual word "Privilege" is probably the wrong one to use, in part for the reasons he mentions. I prefer the suggestion of another friend of mine, who once said that the word should instead be replaced by "insulation." If your house is insulated, you're not completely protected from temperature extremes, but the more insulation you have, the less likely those extremes are to bother you.
My being white and speaking with what Americans call an educated middle- or upper-middle-class accent doesn't guarantee me immunity from bad cops, for example, but it gives me a lot of insulation compared to any American black person, even with the same or better educational and financial status.
Imagine if you will an upper-class modern black family -- no doubt their wealth in many ways gives them an easier life than I have had, and opportunities I lack. On the other hand: I've never had cops arrest me for trying to enter my own house (or a friend's house in a ritzy neighborhood), whereas Henry Louis Gates did -- even though he was surely dressed better at the time than I usually am. Gates is a Harvard professor who is friends with an ex-president, much richer than me, and has a far better career too -- I am not "privileged" compared to him, but I have a hell of a lot more insulation than he does, against such indignities as "Cops in a rich neighborhood look at my complexion and automatically, wrongly assume I must be up to no good."
The idea "innocent person minding his or her own business is not hassled by the cops" should not be considered a "privilege" in an ostensibly free country. In the country we actually have, unfortunately, even innocent people who mind their own business often find themselves harassed by cops, arrested by cops, even murdered by cops (who rarely face any legal consequences, provided the cop remembers to say "Whoops, I was really totally scared for my life" afterwards). I cannot guarantee nothing like this will ever happen to me -- but so far, my skin tone has provided me excellent insulation against this extreme example of modern American injustice.

Her name was Tiffanie. She wanted to know what I thought of Brandon…. so I told her. Brandon chewed girls up and spit them out, ad if she went out with him she would just be next in line. I thought I was doing the right thing, but the telling paradigm pushed her into his arms. She was so excited he asked her out. She wanted to prove me wrong. So instead of helping her I burned the bridge of relationship we had built together. She was embarrassed, frustrated and ashamed when she did indeed become next in line. I was right, but I had lost so much. We were never close again and I was out of her life…
Coaching changes things. What if I had asked her powerful questions? What if I had listened to her heart?… What if I had even let her make a poor decision but remained her friend and left the bridge intact?
Michael Hyatt, President and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers says, "Everyone talks about leadership. Few talk about coaching. Yet, this is the missing paradigm that makes good leaders great." You might be wondering what the buzz is all about and whether it could help you out in youth ministry. So let's talk about it.
What exactly is coaching? The actual word coaching comes from the old concept of a literal coach taking someone from where they are to where they want to go – like in Cinderella where the pumpkin turned into a coach or the coaches in the Wild West.
Coaching is a conversational leadership model where the person being coached is in the driver's seat. Unlike other leadership models where growth is dependent upon a leader's certain and specific pathway, coaching leans upon the core leading of the person being coached. I don't know about you but when I first heard about it that sounded like scary or at least iffy stuff right? I mean what if Tiffanie choose poorly even after I asked her questions?
It might help to take a look at what coaching is not. Coaching is not a top-down leadership model where the leader decides what the problem is and tells the person what to do about it. While that type of leadership could work for some specific cases, as a norm it has many flaws and at times can even be unbiblical (if a leader takes a pseudo role as mediator.) It sure didn't work with Tiff.
Coaching trusts that the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive and well in all Christians today leading and guiding them toward rightness. We all know that God desires an individual relationship with each of us personally and yet if we are honest, sometimes we doubt that the Holy Spirit is able to "get through" to others. Coaching leans on the truth that even through there will always be stuff in this life, God always offers a plan and we have the option to make good choices. Coaching comes alongside an individual as a thinking partner helping them to choose well and move forward in whatever areas and whatever ways God is leading them. If I had truly coached Tiffanie should may have chosen not to go out with Brandon, but even if she did choose poorly we could have worked through that decision together and we would still be friends.
Where did coaching come from? Coaching starts with one of the first recorded conversations with God and man, so it is safe to say that coaching comes the Biblical model of God's leadership. God could have told Adam what he did wrong and instead He asked powerful questions to help create awareness in Adam of what he had done.
Coaching can be seen all throughout scripture and especially with Jesus as He rarely told people what to do but for the most part just told stories and asked questions. He let the Spirit within them reveal truth to them.
Who could use coaching? Coaching can be used in families, work places, ministries, friendships and so much more. Pretty much if you are not a hermit you could use coaching.
How could it be used in Youth Ministry? Youth Ministers especially can use the coaching paradigm to help their young people grow from being dependents to being confident active followers of the faith. This is so important in current culture where many young people struggle with their faith when they leave home after high school. When people of all ages, but especially youth, grow to a place of making decisions not because they are being watched or being told what to do then their faith becomes their own and it is long lasting.
Where can I get more info on Coaching? There are two best-selling books I would recommend and of course there is my website www.cindyscott.org and other blogs written on this topic – see links below.
How can I get coach training? I thought you would never ask! When I took coach training it was life changing for me and I could see people all around me that would be more effective and less stressed if they could get coach training. I also saw the coach training options available as cost-prohibitive so I wrote my own curriculum with multiple levels of engagement. Here's how you could get involved.
Bridges Coaching offers: (Click links for current info on upcoming events)
- Classes starting at $150 (10 weeks, discussion based, basic coaching paradigm and skills)
- Certification courses from $590 (16 weeks, homework and sessions each week resulting in Bridges Coaching certification)
- Professional Training starting at $1200 (13-14 weeks – 3 separate tracks, homework and sessions each week, offered as a certified trainer for Lifeforming Leadership coaching, results in multiple Lifeforming certifications)
What would coach training give me? Coach training gives you the tools necessary for exponential growth – both for yourself personally, for your leadership team and for your youth. If you complete a certification course or professional training you would even have the tools necessary to open a coaching practice. The coaching paradigm provides a means for people to grow, moving them from where they are Building Bridges To What Could Be!

Dachshund 3 years, 2nd litter.
lst litter 1 year ago - one pup by Caesarean section
Now, the breeder had waited over 12 hours after the water bag had burst. "I can hear very faint heart beat," he told me. "Be quick in your Caesarean section to save the puppies!"
He explained: "The dam was running around and was active."
I did not ask why he took such a long time to come for surgery as the best advice is less than 2 hours after the water bag had ruptured.
2 black stained puppies covered by muddy liquid of decomposed placentas.
Both had died a long time ago.

2 dead pups. .
The dam survived the surgery and went home.

Windows 2003 is coming off of life support in the next two years, which puts businesses in an unstable position. Until you update to a newer version of Windows Server, you will experience security, server management and performance issues that will cost you time and money. Switching doesn't have to be painful when you plan ahead for a safe and successful migration and take advantage of utilities designed to help you migrate to the newest Windows Server.
If you're still hanging onto your Windows Server 2003, put it to bed in 2014. The last service pack for Windows Server 2003 was released 6 years ago, and Windows Server 2012 has been on the market for a year already. Switching now means you'll get in on the ground floor of the new Windows Server, while skipping the initial buggy release. Although you are used to your existing Windows Server, the fact that Microsoft will only offer 24 more months of Windows Server support should really have you preparing for a switch in the months ahead.
Windows Server 2012 offers critical support for cloud infrastructure and truly modernizes and transforms the data center for customers. Find more storage for a fraction of the cost, support for hybrid cloud capabilities, software defined networking for increased agility and flexibility, BYOD-support including a device registration process, and Java application monitoring. These are just a few of the exciting features found in the newest release of Windows Server. Windows Server 2012 truly meets the demands of a modern workplace — and if you are still scraping by on an older edition of Windows Server, you are not working at capacity.
If the thought of switching from a tool you may have used for the last 10 years to a new Windows Server brings on a cold sweat, don't worry. There are many tools to help you plan the switch, including:
Chances are the nervousness you are feeling about migrating to Windows Server 2012 is worse than the move itself. For many businesses, winter can be a slow time. Transitioning now ensures that you can acclimate to your new computing power before the demands of the busy season tax capacity.

Jane's Addiction singer and lyricist Perry Farrell directed this surrealistic blend of live footage of the band and fictional vignettes veering from the comic to the nightmarish. An outstanding soundtrack (including not only Jane's Addiction classics like "Been Caught Stealing" but a Sly and the Family Stone cover on which the band is joined by Ice-T) merges with hallucinatory visuals to create a one-of-a-kind cult movie experience. The film garnered an underground reputation on VHS in the '90s before falling out of print - don't miss the chance to see it on the big screen!

TIPPING POINT - Luxury knitwear brand Cruciani has set off the latest accessory craze in Italy, but it's not their Sofia bag or elegant cashmere pullovers, but the unassuming yarn bracelets with their playful pattern and vast range of colours.
Every second person we see walking down the street has got at least one wrapped around their wrists, more than a few have up to 10 lined up to their elbow! The four-leaf clovers, hearts, locks, keys, dragons, butterflies and various other motifs are 'the' thing to gift and the line-up for them at the brand's Milan boutique on Via Verri has become a regular sight to see any day of the week.
The brand has opened one dedicated bracelet shop in Verona and the way things are going, it's safe to say there will msot likely be more to come.

Hey Y'all!
After I wrote this post about artificial dyes, and their grossness, I realized I need to show you how I've replaced a lot of my niño's favorite snacks with "clean" versions!
Snack Time is the most enthusiastic I ever see my children about eating.
(Except for when I serve up these pancakes!)
So here we go-favorite snacks around these parts, and how I've replaced them with clean options.
This is real life folks. Stuff that I've done with my family!
Fruit Snacks
Ahhh. Fruit Snacks. A DIE HARD favorite of Mr. A & Miss J.
This was the first snack I had to clean up! I looked everywhere for a good replacement. To be clean, I wanted NO added sugar, corn syrup, or chemicals. I wanted it to actually be a fruit snack!
The Archer Farms brand (sold at Super Target) is the ONLY place I could find acceptable "fruit snacks".
Let's compare the ingredient list. Be prepared to CRINGE!
I'm sure you noticed the FIRST ingredients in the Kellog's fruit snacks are corn syrup and sugar, right? And how many artificial dyes do you need in fruit snacks?! The Archer Farms alternative is actually…..just fruit (and even a veggie!) Awesome!
I LOVE the sprouted wheat whole grain pretzels we have switched to. They taste SO good. Unlike any Wal-Mart "pretzel" I've ever had!
Ingredient Comparison:
Not much of a comparison. You can pronounce, and understand what's in the sprouted pretzels!
Goldfish Crackers
I blogged here about the adoration of golfish around here!
This is not one you can buy, but it will take you all of 30 minutes to make a huge batch of clean cheddar crackers!
Not thrilled with the amount of chemicals in those goldfish! So processed!
Fruit Strips
Now, to be fair, we never really ate fruit roll ups. I just wanted to show you how the ingredients differ between them and the Trader Joe's/Stretch Island version.
No artificial dyes, sugar, corn syrup or hydrogenated oils in the "clean" version! You can even buy a large pack of the Stretch Island brand at Costco!
Fruit Juice
I could easily write a whole post about fruit juice. In a nutshell, buy 100% juice, with no sugar added. There are endless brands that are "clean" alternative to Kool-Aid, Capri Sun, etc.
I'm sure you won't be surprised, but the ingredients in Kool-Aid/Capri Sun are about as far from fruit as you get.
I LOVE the Apple & Eve Fruitables. My kiddos are getting fruits and veggies, with no chemicals or sugar! Here is a great article about A&E Juice.
Snack Time around here includes the above "clean" options once or twice a week. It has take some work and adjustment, but the vast majority of our snacks now revolve around fresh fruit/veggies, and hormone free string cheese!
Happy Clean Snacking!

information supplied by the sportsperson#1
LISBON, Portugal -- Cristiano Ronaldo seems certain to be fit to lead Real Madrids attack against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. However, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has lingering fitness doubts about Ronaldos strike partner Karim Benzema and defender Pepe. "Cristiano doesnt have any problems, he has trained well," Ancelotti said Friday about the competitions 16-goal record scorer, who missed Madrids final league match last weekend to rest a leg muscle injury. Benzema and Pepe have not trained this week due to hamstring and calf injuries, respectively. Ancelotti said the teams practice session Friday evening on the Stadium of Light pitch "will be crucial to decide" if they can start. Madrids vaunted forward line -- the so-called BBC of Gareth Bale, Benzema and Cristiano -- have combined to score 26 goals in this Champions League season, plus 63 in La Liga. Benzema has thrived playing between the two speedy wingers, though Ancelotti played down the significance of the France forward, or any one player in a city derby between teams which have met four times already this season. "Benzema has had a great season and I dont know that we are losing him," the coach said, adding "we will use another player who has similar characteristics." "This is not going to be a match where individuals count so much as the two teams," Ancelotti said. Atletico has injury concerns about its own star forward, Brazilian-born Spain international Diego Costa, who had a horse placenta treatment on his right thigh this week. Real defender Sergio Ramos said he hoped all the best players lined up Saturday. "If Diego Costa is there or (Arda) Turan or any other, well, thats no problem as far as I am concerned," the Spain defender said. "What concerns me is Karim, Pepe, Cris who have been injured in these past few days." For Real, attacking midfielder Isco could be asked to replace Benzema, whose France teammate Raphael Varane is a likely deputy for Pepe. Ancelotti is deprived of holding midfielder Xabi Alonso who is suspended, and Germanys Sami Khedira could start just two weeks after returning from a six-month absence due to a knee injury. James Daniels Bears Jersey .S. Olympic hockey management team have been making what he called "ghost rosters" since August.

Pospisil, whose season-ending goal is to improve his ATP Tour ranking enough to qualify for one of the 32 seedings at Januarys Australian Open, dominated Karlovic in 59 minutes. The world No. 40 never faced a break point and limited the big mans threatening ace count to a mere eight, while striking five key aces of his own. Bears Jerseys .

Rinne had surgery on his left hip May 9 and recovered in time to start the season. He then had arthroscopic surgery on Oct. 24 because of a bacterial infection in his hip.Recently-retired Assistant Chief Constable Andy Ward will lead the independent review into UK Anti-Dopings handling of the Dr Mark Bonar affair. Ward, who left his post with Merseyside Police in January, has been appointed by the UKAD Board, with the agreement of Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport John Whittingdale.The inquiry has been set up following allegations in The Sunday Times last weekend that Bonar prescribed performance-enhancing drugs to 150 athletes. Culture, Media and Sport Secretary John Whittingdale has backed Wards appointment The newspaper claimed UKAD was given information about the doctors alleged doping activities two years ago but failed to take action.UKAD chairman David Kenworthy said on the organisations website: Andy Ward is a strong choice to carry out the review into UK Anti-Dopings handling of intelligence in relation to Dr Mark Bonar.He is independent of sport so will bring a fresh and uninfluenced perspective, whilst his extensive experience of intelliigence handling will be critical to the review.ddddddddddddAndys role will be to examine how the information supplied by the sportsperson was handled and whether proper procedures were followed. Andy will also be asked to make any recommendations to improve processes in the future.As a publicly-funded body, it is correct that UKAD be held to account for any actions it takes and the team is very supportive of, and will fully cooperate with, the review process. UKAD chief Nicole Sapstead says the organisation welcome the investigation The storm caused by the allegations has put pressure on UKADs chief executive Nicole Sapstead but she insists her organisation welcomes the investigation.UK Anti-Doping is extremely concerned by the allegations made in the Sunday Times, Sapstead said in an interview with Sky News.We will be investigating fully those allegations but we are now the subject of an independent review and it would be deeply inappropriate for me to say anything further at this time.

Tip 1: Jermaine Defoe anytime scorer @ 8/5 Betfair | Brace @ 14/1 (PP) Defoe has regained his place in the Tottenham starting lineup after injury and bagged a brace midweek against Twente to get his confidence sky high. A decent longshot bet @ 14/1 to do the same against a struggling chelsea side who have lost their fear factor of late. I'm expecting Tottenham v Chelsea to be a cracking London derby
Watch this weekend's football matches online for free in Nic's Picks new live football streaming section
Tip 2: Didier Drogba anytime scorer @ 6/4 Betfair | brace @ 17/2 (pp) Drogba, although out of form of late, loves the big matches and they don't come too much bigger than Tottenham v Chelsea. I fancy Drogba to get in behind the Tottenham defense just as Torres did a few weeks back and a good betting tip to return to goal scoring form tomorrow for Chelsea.

API Monitoring for API Management: The Ins & Outs
During my years at Mashery, an API management provider, I had the privilege of helping customers launch and scale successful API programs. Now that I'm at Runscope, I want to share my knowledge of how API monitoring can help companies using any form of API management (Apigee, MuleSoft, CA, IBM, Azure, AWS API Gateway, etc.).
We often find ourselves discussing the ways in which Runscope can help companies who have deployed API proxies, gateways and ESBs. API management and API monitoring are two different but complementary solutions that support your APIs:
- API management will help you stand up your API, allow the intended audience to procure API keys and help you to manage throttling, access controls and more.
- Once you've stood up your API, API monitoring keeps a constant eye on the API that your developers and company rely on. It does so by running scheduled tests and alerting you to when an API goes down, is slow or is returning incorrect data so you can solve API problems before they impact your customers.
Most of the time, reaping the benefits of API Management requires the insertion of a reverse-proxy or API gateway into your infrastructure and API call flow. Many of these solutions are designed for scale and reliability, but as most of us in the tech industry know, there can always be a time that something fails.
Here are the ways that you can prevent, identify and solve issues with API proxies and gateways a heck of a lot faster by using Runscope.
Monitoring the Ins & Outs
In order to identify the source of an API issue, keeping an eye on all the segments of an API call is critical. Gateways and proxies, whether they're in the cloud or on-premises, introduce another component in your infrastructure, and thus another component that needs monitoring.
If your APIs are responding too slowly and/or are returning unexpected status codes or incorrect data, this could affect your mobile clients and integrations, potentially hurting your business.
Do you currently have the insight needed to identify where the problem is occurring? Are you confident that you'll find the problem before your customers or partners do?
Here's how you can use Runscope to monitor your proxies:
Step 1: Create tests in Runscope that hit the gateway/proxy. Run them on a frequent schedule. I recommend once-a-minute basic tests that assert on latency, response codes, different HTTP verbs and also validate some expected responses.
Step 2: Create another set of tests which mimic the first tests as closely as possible but direct them to your application server instead of your gateway. You may be able to to skip some authorization and authentication since your gateway likely provides these services.
Note: You'll most likely want to use Runscope's global cloud locations as well as the On-Premises Agent in tandem for monitoring both of these scenarios from within and outside of your own network. The On-Premises agent will execute tests against private and/or unprotected APIs and send results to Runscope's cloud-based dashboard.
Alerting the Right Team
Option 1: An automated service tells you that something is wrong.
Option 2: Your customer tells you that something is wrong.
Feel free to vote for Option 2, but be prepared for an influx of support tickets that could have been prevented.
Now that you're running frequent functional tests against different components in your stack, Runscope can notify you and your team when assertions fail before or after hitting your gateway. We'll even let your team know when and where issues arise via Slack, HipChat, PagerDuty and more.
Fix It Faster
Reproducing issues is a pain. Have you ever experienced a production issue, tried to get help, and been told, "I don't see any problems on my side. Can you try reproducing the issue?"
That's why we have sharable links, which let you solve problems faster within your own team, and even with outside groups. If a scheduled test fails when hitting the API gateway but passes when hitting your services directly, why not send a link of both results directly to your vendor? Getting a clear picture of the request and response should cut out some extra steps, shorten incident time and minimize the amount of effort spent by both you and your vendor. Everyone wins!
Recap / TL;DR
API gateways and proxies offered by API Management vendors can save your team a huge amount of time and effort, but they can also create another point of failure in your stack. Runscope can help you prevent, identify and solve API problems faster if you have a gateway or proxy in your infrastructure. How?
Prevent: Run tests on a schedule from multiple locations. Monitor at your gateway as well as at your API source.
Identify: Notifications inform you of problems before your customers find them. Quickly determine where in your stack the problem is getting introduced.
Solve: Inspect the request/response before and after the call hits your gateway. Share the results internally and with your vendors for a faster resolution.

Well, let me take a few steps back to explain how I stumbled upon this savings program. My wardrobe surprisingly lacks a very important category of clothing - Comfy Clothes. I know, strange right? I am sure most people do not have this problem, but way back when I started working and money was tight, I swore only to buy clothes I could wear to work. Fast forward to today, when I was shopping at Target this morning, trying to buy some "comfy clothes." I had picked out a number of selections and proceeded to the fitting room. Upon leaving the fitting area, I had selected 2 pairs of C9 by Champion pants and a Liz Lange long-sleeved shirt (Let us ignore that I am still purchasing maternity wear brands post-baby. I must say though that they are super comfy and flattering). I had given the fitting room employee 3 C9 brand shirts that had not worked out.
As I was walking away, the fitting room employee called out to me, "Do you have an iPhone?" I looked around. Was she talking to me? She was. What a weird question. I was slightly intrigued and slightly skeptical. What was this about? She said "C9 is 40% off on Cartwheel today." It meant nothing to me. What was she talking about? She proceeded to pull out her iPhone and that is when my mind exploded. Just kidding, but seriously, I was in awe. In a nutshell, Target has an app called Cartwheel that apparently has secret coupons and savings that I had no idea existed.
The app kind of reminds me of Foursquare and Facebook combined. It has an activity tab where I can see what deals my friends have added. You can earn badges and browse deals by searching collections or scanning barcodes in store. It is like an electronic coupon book, and at the end, all you have to do is show your phone to the checker to get your hidden discounts.
Fast forward to checkout. My total came out to $102.57. I showed the checker my Cartwheel app barcode, and she scanned it. It seemed too easy. I asked about coupons, because I assumed if you used Cartwheel, then it must exclude the use of other discounting deals. Surprise! Coupons can be used IN ADDITION to CARTWHEEL. I was excited because I also had a Target coupon for $8 off and was able to use my Target Visa for an additional 5%. The grand total after everything was $56.40! For a TOTAL SAVINGS of $46.17! I am still trying to figure out what Cartwheel is all about, but bottom line is it has already saved me a bunch of money. I signed up using my Facebook and was surprised to find 30 of my friends already on it. Why had no one told me about it? Well, I am not going to be one of those friends. I plan to share the news! Hence this blog post.
So, have you heard about Target Cartwheel? Have you used it? Do you know of any other secret coupon apps or programs that are not highly advertised? Please do share.

TCSAR participated in rescuing and transporting an injured snowmobiler from the Togwotee pass area today (1/2/12).
TCSAR received several fragmented 911 calls but were unable to locate or confirm that an incident was in progress until a notification made by a SPOT personal locator sent a text message to the dispatch center. The information from the SPOT provided an accurate location near Togwotee pass and information on the injured snowmobiler.
Members of TCSAR flew in the contracted helicopter to the area and found Togwotee guides on scene with the man, who was injured when his machine flipped while trying to climb a steep incline. The guides had properly insulated the man from the cold ground and covered him in blankets. The SAR members packaged the man into the helicopter and provided him with pain medications before transporting him back to the the TCSAR base and transferring him to a Jackson Hole Fire/EMS ambulance crew.
This marks the first rescue of 2012 for the members of TCSAR.

THIS SATURDAY, June 21, from 10-1, will be a work day at the venue. Things needed:
Detroit Mower Gang - style mowing of the path. Push mowers at this
point are best, as some of the lumps are large and in charge. Four push
mowers would probably necessitate only two laps of the course for a
complete cutting. Please bring gas, but I'll have a few gallons on
Following behind the mowers, the course should be raked to be free from debris. If you want to rake please bring a rake!
One of the old compost mulch piles needs to be cut down from scratch;
two others need to be cut down a bit more than they already are. If you
want to dig, please bring a spade and or a hard metal rake if you have
one to help grade the ramps.
Random dirt-filling of old ruts
from when this was an active compost area - these are hit and miss; some
are worse than others but there are five or six that at this point
would cause more than just an annoyance to your front wheel...
If you want to bring a bike to ride afterwards, I'd recommend 29'ers at this point, as the course is rough.
Plan on 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. (ish) on Saturday! If you are interested
and available please either e-mail me (racepromoter at gmail dot com) or
post up on Facebook in the comments!
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP! The next work day will be towards the end of July.

Tagline: They're Gonna Love You … 'Til You're Dead!
Director: Tim Kincaid
Writer: Tim Kincaid
Starring: Teresa Farley, Lance Lewman, France Raines, Natalie O'Connell, Amy Bretano, LeeAnne Baker, Matt Mitler
18 1hr 17mins Horror/Sci-Fi
Budget: Unknown
Breeders is like one of those old monster movies with a giant erection.
Another in a long line of exploitation flicks given the Blu-ray treatment, it is the story of a giant fly who sets about raping a cast of air-headed delectables with the intention of expanding its species. Able to take the form of any human it comes into contact with, it seeks out virgin victims and impregnates them with a black, gooey substance, while using acid to burn them for reasons which are never quite explained.
As it happens, much of what transpires in Breeders is never explained. Where did this giant fly come from? What is its purpose once it breeds and how exactly are its offspring born? All of this is sacrificed for unrelenting and brainless nudity, nudity so excessive that women walk around hospitals and underground caves in the buff, while models skip lunch invitations to snort cocaine and dance around naked for no apparent reason. When virgins are not being raped by our resident insect miscreant, they are attacked by random strangers instead. When there are no random strangers with an itch for molestation, the void is instead filled by tales of women who were raped years earlier in completely unrelated incidents, and before long you find yourself subliminally thinking about rape in a way that is grossly unhealthy.
If you are hopelessly perverse with absolutely no sexual outlet, then you will probably enjoy Breeders; in fact, you will probably get quite the perverse kick out of it. But there are other reasons to like the movie, all of which falling under the 'so dire it's hilarious' category. The fly itself is quite ridiculous, a cross between a xenomorph and the bug-eyed creature from 1958's ludicrous sci-fi effort The Fly. Of course, without Hollywood's millions to fall back on, our antagonist is nothing more than a man in a black bodysuit with a goofy looking head, and it is impossible not to laugh as you watch the poor fellow they hired theatrically creeping around like a swag-sporting crook in a silent movie, albeit a sexually deranged one.
This is acting at its most abortive, with the most unconvincing female doctor you are ever likely to find and a grossly inept detective leading the aimless, yet ultimately successful investigations. Detective Dale Andriotti's dialogue is so clumsy and offensive that you feel yourself cringing every time he opens his mouth, while love interest Dr Gamble Pace spends most of her time looking as if she is reading lines off cue cards which have been taped to cinematic blind spots.
After being subjected to the harsh breeding process of their insect tormentor, our sexy victims experience a brief moment of recollection before succumbing to self-induced amnesia and slipping into a catatonic state. Upon waking, they become rather murderous and seek out the underground cave where they converge for some kind of ludicrous nest-bound orgy, lathering themselves with insect goo for reasons that, once again, are never really explained.
From the highly dubious and confusing reveal (one of Gamble's medical colleagues is in cahoots with the fly, presumably after meeting him at a single's bar) events in the cave threaten to result in the rebirth of a dying alien species, or something along those lines.
If anyone is able to explain things further please feel free to contact me.
Best Kill
Stumbling upon a human rapist who just happens to be in the neighbourhood, our acid-spewing creature turns slasher by procuring a knife and slicing the virile intruder's eyeball before claiming his prize.
Most Absurd Moment
Questioned about his personal interest in the series of rapes besieging the city, Detective Dale Andriotti explains to Doctor Gamble Pace that his sister was also raped when he was a small boy, and how he watched her 'go from a happy teenager to a closed-up old lady in one day'. Obviously seeing an opening, he then asks her out to dinner in the very next breath. Not finding anything strange or inappropriate about the detective's timing, Doctor Pace readily accepts his invitation.
Most Absurd Dialogue
Investigating one of an overabundance of rapes, Detective Andriotti is led to believe that photography assistant Ted is responsible. However, his female colleague Gail seems unconvinced.
Gail: Detective, Ted couldn't have done it. He lives with his mother. Detective!
Detective Andriotti: Yeah?
Gail: I guess I'm not making myself clear. Ted is gay.
Detective Andriotti: Maybe. Or maybe just real clever.
Shot back-to-back with the similarly barmy Mutant Hunt, Breeders is a pornographic Alien rip-off dripping with stilted perversion, one so ridiculous it is hard to get offended by its sleazy degradation. If you are the type of person who finds a peculiar artistry in hokey special effects and absurd plotting, you may want to take a look. If, on the other hand, you have a tendency to stalk strangers and are unusually intrigued by the nature of serial killers, I suggest you stay away. For your own sake.

An under-appreciated aspect of racing is adopting the proper pace strategy. Swimming Science has posted a series of articles, Pacing 101 for Swimmers, that present the optimal pace strategy and the physiological reasoning behind it.
"Masters swimming keeps you younger." Most of us don't need to be convinced, but it is nice to have expert confirmation. Dr. Joel Stager of the Counsilman Center for the Science of Swimming (Indiana University) has released some data from a study using masters swimmers: Biological Markers of Aging in Highly Active Adults.

Safer Neighbourhoods Team
Suffolk is one of the safest places in the country, where people enjoy a consistently high quality of life. Although crime is falling, people are still of the opinion that it is on the increase. Suffolk Police want to try and change this, by building neighbourhoods that not only are safe but feel safe.
To do this, the police will be working with councils and other organisations to deliver a service that is visible, accessible and responsive to what local people need. This new way of working is called 'Safer Neighbourhoods'.
The aims of Safer Neighbourhoods are:
• listening to you and identifying your concerns
• working together to tackle the issues you have identified
• keeping you informed of our progress
• setting up a network of teams across Suffolk as the foundation of Safer Neighbourhoods, which will cover neighbourhoods that vary in size
In urban areas, a neighbourhood may be a small area of a town. In rural areas, a neighbourhood may cover a number of parishes.
Who is in the teams?
An Inspector or Sergeant will oversee the policing element of the team and they will report to the local District Commander.
Each team will be made up of:
• police officers
• Police Community Support Officers
• special constables
• community wardens
• volunteers
People from councils and other organisations may be involved too. Community wardens are front line council staff who spend most of their day out and about working with the public.
They will also work with the police to make sure that things such as environmental issues or anti-social behaviour are reported to the right people so they can be dealt with swiftly.
The Safer Neighbourhood Team will listen and talk to you. They will want to find out what most affects your quality of life - whether that is anti-social behaviour, graffiti, noisy neighbours or crime. They want to try and solve these problems, to create neighbourhoods that are safe and feel safe. The teams will work from premises based in each neighbourhood they serve.
Working together
For the first time, a variety of staff will combine their skills to solve local problems more efficiently and effectively than before.
Each team will have a regular tasking meeting where problems and issues identified by the local community will be prioritised for action.
Contact your local Safer Neighbourhoods team online or call 01473 613500.

Cedar Grove camping ground is a great place to stay and see lots of birds, 54 species over 2 days in September.We had Green Catbird and Wompoo Fruit-Dove in the trees near our camp site. Other birds of note were Paradise Riflebird,Bassian Thrush, Noisy Pitta and a Powerful Owl calling in the early morning.
Click on photos to enlarge
Golden Whistler (Pachycephala pectoralis) (Male)
Fan-tailed Cuckoo (Cacomantis flabelliformis) (Juvenile)
Bassian Thrush (Zoothera lunulata)
As we were walking along the rainforest track I heard a rustle in the leaf litter. Upon further inspection found this pair of Bassian Thrush, (Adult with Juvenile). They kept moving along the track in front of us. After a little way they moved down to the edge of the creek out in the open. A lot easier to photograph them there than in the rainforest.
Australian Brush-turkey (Alectura lathami)
Wompoo Fruit-Dove (Ptilinopus magnificus)
Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis)
Flood damage from earlier in the year.
The force of Mother Nature.
Buttress root of a large fig tree snapped off.

At The Quadrangle in Shoreham, Kent
October 1st to 7th and October 30th to 4th
Permaculture is concerned with what truly matters, our most basic human needs, from clean water and healthy food to companionship and belonging, purpose and self-actualisation. It is a design approach that uses patterns and principles from natural ecosystems to help us meet our needs in cooperation with people and planet.
"It has completely changed my perspective towards every aspect of my life: my health, my relationship with family and friends, my relationship to the planet."
– Joao Paulo, previous PDC participant
Permaculture Design asks us to look past the social and economic status quo to broaden our perspective and come up with new solutions and different ways of living.
The Permaculture Design Course is a 72-hour, often life-changing experience, accredited by the UK Permaculture Association.
Livelihood (noun):
1. A person's liveliness, or aliveness; appearance of life.
2. Alteration from old english līflād, meaning way of life/manner of living; conduct, behaviour.
3. A person's subsistence or living; means of supporting themself.
4. The course of someone's life; a person's lifetime.
The 'Make a Life, Make a Livelihood' course with Social Landscapes puts special emphasis on empowering you to integrate the subjects directly into your lives and projects, whether that is your work, household, relationships or community.
"The course gave me direction and the opportunity of transforming a passion into a job"
– Previous Social Landscapes PDC participant
The course is engaging and practical, inclusive of all learning styles, integrating and drawing on your experiences and knowledge while challenging your assumptions about the world and society.
Although it is not a prerequisite, we're encouraging you to join the course with a specific project in mind that you would like to work on and develop. If you don't have a project, we have a few suggestions for you to choose from or you can work together with another participant on their ideas.
During the first week of the course we will explore the basic principles and applications of permaculture, first in general and then zooming in on the example of the Quadrangle Trust's forest garden. We will engage in group work to create a design and get involved in the practical creation/maintenance of the food forest garden at hand, applying directly what we learn during the week.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Origins, ethics and principles of permaculture
- Systems thinking and pattern language
- Permaculture design process and methodology
- Mapping, observation and site surveys
- Ecology: soil life, water in the landscape and land regeneration
- Cultivated ecology: food production in gardens, on farms and agroforestry
During the second week we delve into more group work and deeper into the design process to support you to realise your ideas and projects and take permaculture back with you into your life.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Living environment, energy, urban permaculture
- Real wealth, money and sustainable exchange
- Personal wellbeing and healthy societies
- Group work and collaboration
- Project development and design
- Presentation
There will be plenty of design time for each participant's personal design work, which will be presented on the last two days of the course. During the design sessions you will have the opportunity to integrate the things you learn during the course with additional support from the tutors.
"I feel like I know a secret and want to share it with the world"
– Natasha, previous PDC participant
Prices include food and shared accommodation in a large dorm at the Quadrangle Trust.
- Participants earning less than 25k/annum pay £650.
- Participants earning more than 25k/annum pay £800.
- We have four concessionary places available at a price of £500 for unemployed participants.

In this week's "Filling the Frame" Free Press photographer Sara Pezzoni captures an image of a turtle being walked down US 70.
Motorists along US in Kinston Monday afternoon may have been a little distracted by the sight of a 200-pound, 60-year-old tortoise named Franklin grazing on the grass just off the busy highway. Franklin belongs to Randy Gallagher, a resident of Sunset Beach, NC, who has had Franklin for roughly 45 years-- nearly all his life. Gallagher encouraged bystanders to give the African Sulcata tortoise a friendly smooch. Gallagher operates a turtle rescue in Sunset Beach and takes his tortoises out for public viewings across the nation to raise money for their care.

The irony is that people not only know their rulers and society overall are two-faced, they expect it. Whether consciously or subconsciously we all know lying and deception are inherent to the matrix that's been foisted upon us.
Another irony is that even in the definition of Janus there are two very different versions as to whom this mythological character really was.
…the Illuminati secret formula for world revolution and deceit. This is how and why Satan is making such incredible progress. The Janus Factor is Satan's hidden method. The two-faced Roman god Janus was known as "Keeper of the Keys" and as "Interpreter of the Mysteries." Throughout history, Janus operatives—Darwin, Hegel, Freud, Marx, Lenin, Obama, and others—have successfully employed the Janus method to psychically and culturally churn global events and overturn all standards of morality and human dignity.
An Initial View of the Nature of Interpretation: Conservation and Creativity
As might be expected, as a result of these different (although often intertwining) intellectual backgrounds and sources of interest in interpretation, legal theorists approach this subject with very different questions and concerns to which they give concomitantly different answers. For all this, however, a surprising number of legal theorists agree—at least at an abstract level—about one central characteristic of interpretation, namely that interpretation is a Janus-faced concept, encompassing both a backward-looking conserving component, and a forward-looking creative one. In other words, an interpretation of something is an interpretation of something—it presupposes that there is a something, or an original, there to be interpreted, and to which any valid interpretation must be faithful to some extent, thus differentiating interpretation from pure invention—but it is also an interpretation of something, i.e. an attempt not merely to reproduce but to make something of or bring something out of an original.
Dualism at its finest.

If you are traveling to Dublin on Ryanair, the stupidest idea to come along in ages looks to have gone down the drain, literally. Last week Michael O'Leary, ceo of the Irish budget carrier Ryanair, said he would install pay toilets for use on short-haul European flights, but the cockamamie scheme turned out to have been more than a piddling matter. A stream of invective followed the announcement in the press.
The latest news: Boeing, which built Ryanair's fleet of 737-800s, has put the kibosh on the plan for safety reasons, leaving O'Leary up a yellow river without a paddle. In addition to charging one euro to use the facilities, O'Leary had planned to remove some of the existing toilets and replace them with additional seats. But the airline's planes already are configured for 189 passengers, the most that can be carried safely. Because the planes were made in America, any reconfiguration by Boeing to increase the number of passengers would be subject to FAA approval, which would be unlikely.
