Continual coverage of the trial of Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Judge Edward Burmila told jurors they could go home or keep deliberating, and the jury has requested to go home. Burmila will bring them in to remind them to avoid any media coverage and dismiss them for the night.
Judge Edward Burmila said that jurors have asked for dinner.
But Burmila said he is concerned about how long the day has been for the jury, noting a recent conviction in Will County was overturned after an appellate court found they were made to deliberate for an excessive length of time.
The defense suggested that the court simply let them know that they have the option to continue or resume deliberations tomorrow, but prosecutors said the jurors have made their intentions known.
"Clearly they have communicated their desire to continue," Assistant State's Atty. Chris Koch said.
Burmila sent jurors a note asking if they would like to continue deliberating or stop and resume in the morning.
Jurors sent a note back to Burmila asking, "If we want to resume deliberations tomorrow, will we go home or will we stay somewhere?"
Transcripts have been read and jurors have resumed their deliberations.
For the second time, the defense has objected and requested a sidebar during the reading of the Harry Smith transcript.
In both instances, Joel Brodsky complained that the court reporter skipped over a portion of the transcript.
In the second objection, Brodsky objected to court reporter leaving out one of his questions to Smith that the state objected to at the time because it was a compound question. Burmila sustained the objection.
Burmila wondered why a question that was stricken due to a sustained objection should be read again.
"You asked a question. The state objected, and I sustained the objection. Why would we read that to the jury?" Burmila said.
"I'm sorry. I know that question was asked. You just asked me to ask it a different way," Brodsky mumbled
Burmila warned him to approach the court if he felt the court reporter misread something
"Don't say in front of the jury again, 'That's wrong,'" Burmila said. "The proofs are closed. I'm not asking for a response, just don't say that again."
The court reporter read a transcript of the testimony of Harry Smith, who was Savio's divorce attorney and another key hearsay witness who was actually called as a defense witness.
Smith, who was among the last few witnesses called the defense, testified that in the fall of 2007, Stacy Peterson spoke to him on the telephone to say she wanted to divorce the defendant and asked whether she could use her knowledge of how her husband killed Savio as leverage in the divorce.
Smith testified that Stacy Peterson told him she believed the defendant was tracking her movements via her cell phone, and that she got another cell phone that he didn't know about. Smith said she told him Drew Peterson was angry with her because he believed she told told Peterson's son that his father murdered Savio
He also said he warned her to be careful, because she might be breaking the law by concealing a homicide.
Two jurors could be seen taking notes while the testimony was read
The court reporter is now reading a transcript of the testimony of pastor Neil Schori, who told the jury that in August 2007 he met with Stacy Peterson at a Starbucks in Bolingbrook.
Schori was a key hearsay witness for the state, testifying that Stacy Peterson began to cry as she told him how she awoke one night to find her husband was not in bed, that she was unable to find him or reach him by phone, and that she later saw him standing near the washing machine in their home.
Schori said Stacy Peterson told him she saw Drew Peterson placing his clothing and the contents of a bag into the washing machine, and that after he walked away, she looked into the machine and saw women's clothes that were not hers. He said she told him that later the defendant coached her for hours on what to say when the police came to interview her, and that she later lied on his behalf.
As the court reporter read Schori's testimony, a female juror and three male jurors could be seen taking notes.
None of the jurors could be seen taking notes while the court reporter read details of the defense cross-examination of Schori.
The jury is again seated in the courtroom, and a court reporter is reading phone records concerning Drew Peterson's and Kathleen Savio's cell phone records in late February and early March 2004.
Fewer than half the jurors can been seen taking notes as the court reporter reads the telephone records. A Tribune reporter saw only five jurors, all male, taking notes as she spoke.
Judge Edward Burmila is going to have the court reporter read the testimony of pastor Neil Schori and divorce attorney Harry Smith to the jury, as well as a letter written by Kathleen Savio to the Will County state's attorney's office alleging abuse by Drew Peterson.
The jury requested the testimony transcripts, letter and phone records this morning.
The letter, which was read to the jury during the trial by the judge as part of a stipulation between the parties, was heavily redacted.
Defense attorney Steve Greenberg argued that the judge should send back the redacted letter, because he is allowing the jury to receive phone records between Stacy Peterson and Drew Peterson. He argued that the judge is being inconsistent with the exhibits, and Burmila called a brief recess to allow the parties to research case law on the matter.
During the lunch break the jury sent a second note asking for photos of Kathleen Savio in the tub, autopsy photos and photos of bruises and hemorrhaging, and renewed their request for what they termed "the interview on July 5th, exhibit 40."
Judge Edward Burmila said he can only assume that the jurors want Savio's handwritten statement made to Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Teresa Kernc on July 18, 2002, alleging that Drew Peterson forced her down on the stairs of her home and held her for three hours and pulled a knife out before saying he could never hurt her.
Burmila said that he would send the photos the jurors requested, and would send the July 18 statement in a sealed envelope accompanied with a note stating that they should "open the document only if it is responsible to your request for July 5th reports."
Peterson's team is objecting to a number of the photos, saying they are "extremely brutal," but Burmila denied their objection.
Jurors have sent three questions to Judge Edward Burmila.
First, they asked for asked for Drew and Stacy Peterson's phone records the weekend of Kathleen Savio death. Jurors also requested a transcript of testimony from Savio divorce attorney Harry Smith and the Rev. Neil Schori.
Burmila will read transcripts of the testimony, provide the exhibits and read an instruction to the jury.
While Burmila was preparing a response to the first two questions, jurors sent a third, asking for a police report from an alleged attack by Drew Peterson against Savio on her staircase.
Jurors are now eating lunch, so the evidence will be read this afternoon.
The jury has sent a question to the judge after about 90 minutes of deliberations.
Juror questions are common in many trials and are sometimes used to clarify instructions.
After the alternate jurors were taken to a separate jury room, Peterson attorney Steve Greenberg objected to Judge Edward Burmila's decision to hold them in reserve, saying trial rules require that alternates be dismissed once deliberations begin.
"You want me to discharge the alternate jurors, and if we need them I'm just supposed to call them up at home and tell the to come back?" Burmila said. "Are you telling me that Mr. Peterson would accept a verdict from 11 jurors?"
"That it would be a mistrial," Greenberg said.
State's Atty. James Glasgow said he believed Burmila's plan was the correct way to proceed, but the judge said he would revisit the defense request after his normal court call.
Before jurors left the courtroom to begin deliberations, Judge Edward Burmilla reminded them that Drew Peterson did not have to prove his innocence, and they cannot hold it against him that he didn't testify.
Jurors leave courtroom to begin deliberations at Drew Peterson murder trial.
The judge is now instructing the four alternate jurors that they are still part of the case and may be called upon to take part in deliberations if a jury is excused.
Judge Edward Burmila has begun instructing jurors before they begin their deliberations.
A jury of seven men and five women will begin deliberating today after hearing weeks of circumstantial and hearsay evidence against Drew Peterson, accused of killing his third wife.
On Tuesday, attorneys made their final pitches to the jurors during more than 41/2 hours of closing arguments that referenced everything from traumatic head injury to the film "Pulp Fiction."
Prosecutors asked jurors to use their common sense in weighing the testimony. But a defense attorney called the mysterious death of Kathleen Savio an accident and the case itself as "riddled with doubt like a piece of Swiss cheese."
Peterson, 58, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is on trial in the 2004 bathtub drowning of Savio. The death was treated as an accident until Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, vanished in 2007.
Prosecutors took a fairly straightforward approach in their closings, urging jurors to look at the accumulated evidence including hearsay statements from Savio's friends, family and acquaintances that she feared Peterson would kill her as well as expert testimony that her death was a murder.
Defense attorney Joseph Lopez took a more colorful, sometimes rambling approach, larding his closing argument with pop culture references as well as metaphors of pie-eating cats and water balloons and anecdotes about his 4-year-old son.
He relied heavily on a slide presentation that began with a warning to jurors. "This case is about Kathy — not Stacy," the PowerPoint slide read with yellow text on a black background. "Do not forget that."
The courtroom and an overflow room across the hall were packed for the closing arguments. Members of Savio's family, including her sisters Sue and Anna Doman, Stacy Peterson's sister Cassandra Cales and five Illinois State Police officials who helped lead both investigations were in the courtroom.
"I'm going to kill you," Assistant State's Attorney Christopher Koch said, quoting an alleged Peterson hearsay statement as he began his closing argument.
"You are not going to make it to the divorce settlement. You're not going to get the pensions, you're not going to get the kids," Koch said, repeating the hearsay statements jurors heard during the five-week trial. "That is the statement the defendant made to the victim weeks before her death. And you know what, ladies and gentlemen, that threat became reality."
At least seven times during his argument to jurors, Koch turned and jabbed a finger at Peterson. "It is clear that this man murdered Kathleen Savio," he said.
Peterson, who sat expressionless at the defense table, watched jurors closely, took notes and occasionally whispered to his attorneys.
Koch said the defense explanation for Savio's death — that she slipped and fell in her Bolingbrook home's bathtub — is belied by the injuries on her body. He repeatedly asked jurors to use their "common sense and everyday life experience" in judging how Savio died.
"It's not one side (of her body with injuries), it's four sides — how can you get that in one fall?" Koch asked jurors. "You can't do it, it's not possible."
He also said the hearsay statements cannot be discounted.
"This isn't one person. This is multiple people coming in here saying Savio said, 'He told me he would kill me and make it look like an accident,'" Koch said.
Particularly important for prosecutors was the testimony of the Rev. Neil Schori, who told jurors Stacy told him during a counseling session that she saw Peterson come home late dressed in black and carrying a bag of women's clothing.
Schori testified that Stacy told him Peterson coached her for hours on how to lie to state police about his murder of Savio.
Jurors sat up in their seats as Lopez began his 21/2-hour closing argument in which he referred to his client as "Sgt. Peterson." Several smiled or laughed as he compared trials to Monopoly and a Bears-Packers football game, claimed the French philosopher Voltaire once said "Common sense is an uncommon thing" and called the state's case nothing but "spec-u-lation," drawing out the second syllable for effect.
He told jurors they can ignore the hearsay statements if they find them unreliable. Lopez said they don't add up to anything anyway.
"If you can't show it's a homicide, who cares?" Lopez said of the hearsay.
Lopez referenced a number of movies, including "The Big Lebowski" and "Zorba the Greek," but at times he seemed to try jurors' patience. When he strained for several minutes to remember the name of the animated comedy "King of the Hill" to make a point about Savio's neighborhood, one juror sighed and raised his eyebrows.
The defense attorney also tried to hold attention with a variety of metaphors. He described circumstantial evidence with a story about a pie-eating cat and referred to Savio's head injury in the tub as being akin to dropping a water ballon at low speed on concrete.
"Boom! It explodes," said Lopez, calling Savio's death "a weird accident."
"Back of your head — same thing."
He also used his PowerPoint slides to poke fun at prosecution witnesses, putting up a photo of the Hollywood sign to mock Savio's sister Sue Doman, who signed a book and movie deal. Jeff Pachter, who testified that Peterson offered him $25,000 to find a hit man to kill Savio, was illustrated with a photo of Larry the Cable Guy.
And Lopez repeatedly displayed a photo of the Cheshire Cat from the Disney animated film "Alice in Wonderland" in reference to Savio's divorce attorney Harry Smith, whom Lopez dubbed "Smiley" in another slide.
Smith's testimony as a defense witness last week was widely seen as damaging for Peterson. Smith said that Stacy asked him if she could use the fact that Peterson killed Savio as leverage in a possible divorce.
"You don't have to like Sgt. Peterson at all. You know what you have to like? That flag," Lopez said, pointing to an American flag on the dais next to the judge. "You have to like America. You have to like the Constitution. ...You have to like the principles that we live by in this country.
"You're making sure the government ain't going wild in a quest to get somebody," he said.
State's Attorney James Glasgow had the last word, going over what he described as a powerful accumulation of evidence that clearly demonstrated Peterson's guilt. His closing was repeatedly interrupted by defense objections and he struggled to find a rhythm.
"It's solid, it's real, and it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Drew Peterson killed Kathleen Savio in cold blood," Glasgow told jurors.

Lolo Jones: It's Amazing That You Will Get A Shot At An Olympic Medal
I'm so happy that Lolo Jones will be heading to the Olympics after placing third in the 100-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials on Saturday June 23!
Lolo Jones, a form LSU track and field star, placed third in the 100-meter hurdles during the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials on June 23 — guaranteeing her a spot in the summer Olympics!
Lolo, 29, deserves the recognition she's receiving as she's an amazing racer! Lolo finished the hurdles on Saturday in 12.86 seconds!
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lolo, the favorite, tripped on the second-to-last hurdle and finished seventh, but managed to flash a broad smile despite her loss! That takes courage, and shows she's a good sport!
Lolo also deserves this success because she worked her way up from nothing! Lolo attended eight schools in eight years while her single mother, Lori, often held two jobs to support her family of six! And Lolo's father spent most of her childhood in the Air Force, but later landed himself in a state prison!
While Lolo is a favorite in track and field, I also have to applaud her for wanting to maintain her virginity until she gets married! Lolo may have had a tough upbringing, but she certainly ended up on top! I hope to see her take home the gold!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you rooting for Lolo to get a gold medal?

First Look
First Look: Evenno The Fingerist Music Adapter for iPhone + iPod touch
Company: Evenno / Simplism
Website: www.Evenno.com
Model: The Fingerist
Price: $150
Compatible: iPhone 3G/3GS/4, iPod touch 2G/3G
Developed by Trinity, the Japanese company behind the Simplism line of budget cases and iPod/iPhone/iPad accessories, The Fingerist ($150) is pitched as an "adapter for playing musical instrument applications on the iPhone and iPod touch." Combining a three AA battery-powered speaker -- you supply the batteries -- and a plastic shell designed to imitate the general shape of a guitar, the accessory includes three silicone rubber sizing shells designed to hold the iPhone 3G/3GS, iPhone 4, or iPod touch 2G/3G, a guitar strap, and a carrying case. A line-out on the bottom is compatible with guitar amplifiers if you want to skip the integrated speaker. Our gut feeling is that most people will balk at the price, given that even $30 gaming cases for the iPhone and iPod touch have been hard sells, but perhaps the draw of the six-hour speaker will appeal to some people. Note that Trinity has branded The Fingerist under the company name "Evenno," and recommends apps such as iShred and Guitar for use with the unit.

10 Minute Holiday Cookie Recipe
A few weeks ago I was able to visit with Jenny Harper, the Chief Cookie Officer for Nestle Kitchens for a story I was working on. Does that sound like a dream job or what? Jenny is the one who comes up with the recipes on the back of Nestle Toll House morsels and other Nestle baking products.
So when I needed to make a quick treat for an event I was going to I thought of Jenny and turned to the back of a bag of Nestle's Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels for inspiration. The recipe for "Magic Mint Chocolate Bark" was simple and fun to make with my kids. I doubled the recipe to make sure we had extras. (Use a 11 x 9″ brownie pan and half of the morsels to make the standard batch.)
Mint Chocolate Bark
Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 18
2 10-ounce bags Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels (I did one bag of the mint morsels and another bag of dark chocolate)
3/4 cup chopped roasted almonds
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a 9×13″ cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Dump the chocolate chips onto the lined pan. Spread out the chips so they fill the pan.
- Bake the chips for 4 minutes; they'll be shiny when you remove them from the oven and won't appear to be melted.
- Use a kitchen knife to swirl the chocolate together (you won't see any more of the green color).
- Top with chopped almonds, or pretzels, potato chip pieces, or dried fruit.
- Here's the fun part: to help the toppings sink into the chocolate hold that pan about 3 inches above the counter (I put a large cutting board down for this) and then drop the pan.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for an hour and then break apart the pieces.

Just a few ideas:
1) Try putting him down a little earlier at night. It seems counter-intuitive, but sometimes babies sleep better/longer when they are not over-tired. At 3 months, many babies prefer an earlier bedtime. Try 9, then the next night try 8. See what happens.
2)For the startle reflex - consider "Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit." Around 4 months, my DD outgrew her swaddles and just hated to be swaddled. BUT she still had a TERRIBLE startle reflex and needed to be contained somehow. I stumbled across the sleepsuit and it has worked really well. It allows her to stretch her arms and legs (like she wanted) but it's so thick that it muffles her startle reflex and little jerky movements so she doesn't wake herself up. She's still in it now at almost 6 months. She's not big on rolling from back to tummy (awake or asleep), so I don't know how it would work for a baby who regularly rolls over, but it might be worth a shot. They're not cheap, but maybe you could find a used one on ebay or something?

Chem Club Hosts First Titration Tournament• October 29, 2010 Share:
Chemistry Professor Lon Porter - The Titration "Sudden Death" Tournament is a new annual event hosted by the Chemistry Club each fall. It puts a uniquely competitive, Wabash spin on one of the central analytical techniques explored by students in their chemistry laboratory classes.
This technique is known as the acid-base titration. While titration analysis was first performed in 18th century France, it was not until the mid- to late-1800's (when atomic weights and stoichiometry were more firmly understood) that titration became a standard method of chemical analysis. Titration still plays a very prominent role in modern analytical chemistry and is one of the more memorable Wabash chemistry lab traditions.
In Thursday's exciting event, students were nominated by each campus living unit to compete in titration duels, where accuracy under pressure is put to the test. Two students face off in each round and are given samples of acidic compounds dissolved in water, however the concentration of these substances is not revealed to the contestants. When the duel begins, students use a buret (a long, graduated glass tube with a precision tap for liquid delivery) to carefully add an alkaline solution of known concentration until they observe a very faint color change (colorless to faint pink) due to the presence of an acid/base indicator. This color change typically indicates that the added base has neutralized the acid in their sample.

10 Classic Bathrooms
Hex tile, clawfoot tubs, porcelain pedestal sinks. These are few of the elements that make up our idea of a "classic" bathroom—the kind you might find in a pre-war apartment or a New England farmhouse.
The nice thing about a classic bathroom is that it's not going to go out of style anytime soon. Materials like subway tile and marble counters are long-lasting and tend to survive the cycle of trends.
If you're looking for a way to add some kick to a timeless space, try brightly painted accent walls, a splash of wallpaper, or a few trendy accessories. A little goes along way. To inspire you, we've rounded up some of our favorite examples from Apartment Therapy house tours. Click through the links below to see the whole house.

Windsor lost three starters from its 25-2 team. But coach Ken Smith doesn't want to hear about whether his team will be a serious concern for every one of its opponents this season.
"Apprehensive" typically is an apt word for teams that play Windsor. Its assorted defensive traps and transition game are among the premier ones in the state.
"I want our players to be angry if teams don't feel that way about playing us," Smith said. "I want our players to be honored by how we play."
In the past four years, Windsor reached the Class LL quarterfinal round twice, the second round once, won the title in 2009 and had an overall record of 93-11.
Guard Jared Wilson-Frame leads the Warriors, who open this season at home Wednesday night against E.O. Smith-Storrs. He averaged 14.5 points, but is renowned for his three-point shooting prowess with exceptional range.
He had nine threes in a 74-66 CCC semifinal win over Northwest Catholic-West Hartford last season. "The kid [Wilson-Frame] just went wild. He was the huge difference, and you have to tip your hat to him," Northwest Catholic coach John Mirabello said after that game.
Smith wants Wilson-Frame, a sturdy 6-foot-4 guard, to be a more complete player, able to score off the bounce, defend and make better decisions with the ball. "He can play all five positions," Smith said.
Wilson-Frame, senior center Jaquan Harrison (11 points, seven rebounds, two blocks) and 6-3 guard Chaunce Dunbar appear to give Windsor a productive core to have another impressive season.
Capital Prep Back And Strong
Last season Capital Prep-Hartford advanced to its first state title game, which it lost to Immaculate-Danbury in Class S.
Capital Prep is a strong favorite to make a return trip to the Mohegan Sun Arena in March.
It returns three starters in forward Brandon Marshall and guards Kahlil Dukes and Levy Gillespie Jr. Marshall is a strong rebounder, who averaged 7.3 last season. And Dukes (22 points), who's going to USC, and Gillespie Jr. (13.2 and 6.5 assists) form one of the top backcourts in the state.
"I think it will be really tough for teams to defend Kahlil and Levy in that they have both improved during the offseason," coach Levy Gillespie Sr. said. "Kahlil has worked on his quickness and shooting. Levy has become stronger and worked on his ability to score from different angles."
The Trailblazers, who open the season against last season's Class L champion Career Magnet-New Haven in the Doc Hurley Scholarship Classic at Weaver-Hartford on Saturday, have able players to fill out the starting roster. "Blair Howard and Elijah Robinson are candidates as well as AJ Hart and Hugh McCalla, who are seniors and played on the football team," Gillespie Jr. said.
Luster Makes Point For Valley
Valley Regional-Deep River coach Kevin Woods says that point guard Jonathan Luster is one of the most underrated players in Connecticut. "If I had a chance to choose any point guard in the state this year, I would choose Jonathan Luster," Woods said.
Luster, a 5-10 senior, averaged17.8 points and 4.6 assists last season. "He is one of those players that makes everyone on the team better, and with the talent on our team this year, that could be a scary thing," Woods said of the Warriors, the 2011 Class S champions.
Senior guard Mason King is a lock-down defender, and senior forward Chris Connor (16.5 points) can score for Valley Regional, which is a Class M team this season.
Depth In New Britain
With strength inside and outside along with a deep, youthful bench, New Britain should be a power in the CCC West.
Inside, the Golden Hurricanes, who were 14-10 and reached the Class LL quarterfinal round last season, feature forward Craven Johnson (13.0 points, 8.0 rebounds) and 6-5 Curtis Hyman. Outside they have guard Sheveran Williams-Hardy (15 points, 3.5 assists) and swingman Daequone Clark (9 points, 7 rebounds).
Coach Todd Stigliano said the 20-0 junior varsity team of last season infuses the varsity team with "a whole crop of hungry, ready players."
The goals for New Britain are high after it knocked off No. 3 Hartford Public in the second round of the Class LL tournament last season. New Britain's season ended with a 59-48 quarterfinal loss to Fairfield Prep.
"We set the bar decently high and got to the quarters," Stigliano said. "We want to move forward and make a significant run in the tournament this year."
Manchester Looks To Take Step
Manchester will spread the court and use its quickness in transition. If the Indians can rebound, they could be better than last season, when they went 20-7 and played in a Class LL quarterfinal.
Guard Chris Walker (14 points) leads the offense. Eddie Mack, Tyrone Davis and Devin Johnson supply more speed and points from the perimeter. Courtney DeBerry, a 6-2 center, and 6-3 forward Boise Murphy need to be sturdy on the boards to initiate fast breaks.

Dicor's Fore 'Wins' in Charitable Kilt Campaign
October 30, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg Comments Off on Dicor's Fore 'Wins' in Charitable Kilt Campaign
When Dicor Corp. President Gregg Fore gets involved in something, it's never halfway. And so it was that Fore, an RV industry supplier and immediate past chairman of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), dove head first this summer and fall into a unique "Men in Kilts" charity fund drive on behalf of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Michiana.
The inevitable result was that Fore last week (Oct. 24) took the stage with the other nine participants in the 5th Annual Men in Kilts campaign at a 400-person benefit dinner at South Bend's Hilton Garden Inn as the top fund-raiser.
For his efforts in traipsing around Elkhart dressed fashionably in a kilt visiting health clubs, jewelry stores and sedate business offices in an effort to attract attention to the plight of the Ronald McDonald House, Fore succeeded in raising $67,000 dollars from about 160 donors as part of a campaign that ended up netting a total of $270,000. The Ronald McDonald House oversees "Family Room" operations at nearby South Bend Memorial Childrens Hospital,
In the process, Fore and his campaign's "Gforce" staff, led by Larry Lebryk, Dicor's director of marketing, Tina Sharkey, sales manager for affiliated United Shade, and friend Becci Zook, smashed the five-year-old Men in Kilts fund-drive record of $22,000,
"We took two or three days during the process – and then some later as well – where we toured the county, stopping at customers and some other suppliers," said Fore. "We stopped at specific areas, some potential donors and took photos. We posted them on Facebook (see link below) and put them on our website (www.greggsleggs). We had some videos made and put on our website that poked even more fun at who we were and what we were doing in a self-effacing way – always bringing it back to the seriousness of the cause."
Fore's campaign staff also hosted a special Aug. 27 benefit at Elkhart's 523 Tap & Grill, with proprietor George Anagnos donating a percent of his proceeds.
"Our goal was to go out and be the leading fundraiser, not because winning the fundraising contest was all that important in itself," Fore said of the campaign, which injects a little fun and levity into a charity that serves as many as 9,000 families a year for the South Bend Memorial Childrens Hospital. "What's important is the number of people that those dollars help. We were able to reach out and touch a large segment of Elkhart County and across the country in some cases. So, yeah, it was a lot of fun and it turned out great."

Floral Affair Bodysuit is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gk101 from Lovely Material Looks awesome with a high waisted skirt as worn by the model. As mentioned before the material is lovely and it is lined. The material is not stretchy. The only thing is, I highly reccomend going a size down especially if you have a smaller bust. I weigh 120lbs and am 5'4" and my bra size is 32B. I normally wear a size S in bebe however I should have ordered a size XS as it is really baggy at the top. The length was good in the S though. I have not tried the XS.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TinyMK1 from A MUST HAVE PURCHASE There's no doubt about it that bodysuits are one of the hottest trends going right now. I've ordered several, but this one is by far my favorite. It is very versatile, in that you can wear it to work with a skirt like the model is wearing, or add an edge to it with some colored jeans. A short black skirt makes it perfect for a night out. I may exchange it for an XXS instead of an XS. As the other reviewer said, it does seem to run a little big. And if I wear a push-up bra with it, it fits fine. But I can't go braless or it's too big. If you only order one bodysuit, make it this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Thequeengets from The feel is classy, edgy, romantic. I love this top, the floral print, fabric, color(s) black and white contrast, shape, design and fit. It is lined so it's ok without a bra if you want to. It's comfy and witha silky appearance. I went a size down because fits better. Price I think is more like $69 but that's bebe. The dress and skirt version of this print are not as nice as this one, it's because the fabric on those, it's the effect of how the finished print looks... but that's just me. This bodysuit looks very elegant and it's so versatile! Looks great with the leatherette long skirt shown here, as well with leggings, skinny jeans etc. It's very classy, I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe this fall.

PALO ALTO — The last time UCLA played in the Rose Bowl game, Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley was 5 years old.
"I was a little boy," Hundley said. "A very little boy."
It has been a long time. A very long time.
The Bruins' last bowl trip to Pasadena was after the 1998 season, making this the longest Rose Bowl drought in UCLA history. That can end Friday night.
All the Bruins have to do is beat Stanford, a team they lost to last Saturday. If the Bruins have adjusted enough to turn the tables, they will be off to the Rose Bowl. If not, either the Holiday Bowl or Alamo Bowl awaits and Stanford — along with either Nebraska or Wisconsin — will paint Pasadena red.
This season has been a quick turnaround for the Bruins, who had a record of 6-8 a year ago. But it has also been a long journey. Nine players remain from the 2008 recruiting class, which came to Westwood vowing to change the culture.

Great article Paul,
I think you have really made a good point about calls to action and understanding the goals of the website.
I my experience I do ask the clients why they need a website and what they expect from the website but in most cases I do not go into to much detail at the start, most people are really confused about websites.
All clients seem to want a all singing all dancing solution but what they need is a smaller more simple site to start off with, once they have this and start to generate leads and interest they are more inclined to want to sit down and dedicate some time to the future of the site.

Grad Student Adventure: Russians, Permafrost, Hitching a Military Ride
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Chris Johnson had never been out of the US. In fact, he'd never been on a plane until last winter. But he made up for it big time—by flying to Antarctica to conduct research.
Johnson is working on a master's degree in forest ecology and management at Michigan Technological University. His advisors are Tom Pypker and Rod Chimner, assistant professors in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science.
Johnson left Houghton for Punta Arenas, Chile, on a blustery January morning. Five flights and 52 hours later, the Michigan Tech graduate student landed on King George Island just off the Antarctic Peninsula.
Traveling to King George Island is not exactly a trip to the beach. The offshore island, which scientists believe drifted from the South American continent about 450 miles south to its present location, doesn't have scheduled airline service. Military cargo planes from the nine countries that have scientists there drop off supplies and the occasional passenger—when the unpredictable weather permits them to land.
Johnson's original flight from Chile to Antarctica was cancelled. He tried to book passage on a Uruguayan military plane chartered by a shipping company. "The price went up three times in four days," he says. "We ended up paying $1,400."
Riding a bulky, thunderous military cargo plane is an experience everyone should have, adds. "There are no safety videos, seatbelt checks or even bathrooms. This plane is all business."
A cramped, two-and-a-half hour flight crossed the Drake Passage, known for some of the worst weather in the world. But they made it, landing on a short gravel runway maintained by the Chilean military.
They were billeted at the Russian base, "where nothing was written in English," Johnson recalls. Loaded down with three backpacks, he began slogging through deep, wet snow and up a rocky, muddy slope to their quarters, which the visiting researchers soon dubbed "the Mountain Lodge." Out of breath and struggling to remain upright in the blustery winds, Johnson took a 360-degree look around.
"I found myself absolutely awestruck," he says. "Vast snow fields covered the dark raw earth and mountains; mosses and lichens struggled for life atop rocks and bare soil; the wind blew whitecaps across the turquoise sea, and cold saturated air blew through fog, creating a chill different from anything I had ever experienced."
They spent eight days in Antarctica studying the carbon dynamics of recently exposed permafrost. Analyzing the carbon dioxide leaving and entering the soil, he and his colleagues from the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists were looking for lichen, small plants, microbial communities—signs of life.
The barren land was forested 50 million years ago, Johnsone explains, and soil can be found in the permafrost when the summertime temperature rises to a relatively warm 3 or 4 degrees Celsius (37 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit). January, of course, is mid-summer in Antarctica, south of the Equator.
Johnson 's "carry-on luggage" consisted of $11,000 worth of heavy equipment, a jumble of wires and machinery stuffed into two large carry-on bags. "Mostly, the airport security people just laughed," he recalls.
But the trip back was considerably more challenging. Snagging a ride on a Chilean military plane—this time at a cost of only $450—Johnson and his colleagues were the last ones out. Then the weather closed in, and a group of 20 Chinese scientists right behind them was unable to leave the island.
Also, the research team was taking soil samples for analysis back in the US. "I think you might be better off trying to carry radioactive materials through security," Johnson says with a smile. They wound up having to ship the frozen soil samples home to their lab, which the US Department of Agriculture had already inspected to make sure the facility was equipped to hold and handle the soils safely.
Johnson's entire time in Antarctica wasn't spent digging in permafrost. "We heard lectures from Antarctic scientists, trekked along a glacier, counted elephant seals, rode across Maxwell Bay in a Zodiac inflatable military boat," he reports.
"One of the highlights for me was hiking along the moraine—the earth and stones deposited by a glacier—laden with clay, loose stones and ice," Johnson says. "Its steep and fragile peaks gave way underfoot, making it challenging to keep balanced while soaking in the magnificent sights offered by this high point. Along the base of the glacier, we were able to see piles of 30,000-year-old marine shells and thick deposits of pure volcanic ash."
Every day of the trip was an adventure entirely outside his previous experience. "Antarctica is a land of pure earth," he says. "It is the only continent where Homo sapiens have not settled in large numbers to alter the ecosystems. Problems do exist, though. Glaciers and sea ice are melting at record speeds. There is no denying that northern Antarctica is experiencing extreme climate shifts. It is vital for scientists to continue traveling to Antarctica to study these changes. The climate of the entire earth is regulated in part by Antarctica."
Most of the funding for Johnson's Antarctic expedition came from his own pocket. He has applied for a new grant for students to participate in "outside educational experiences," so he hopes there may be another, equally exciting excursion in his future.

Versace at Home I: Casa Casuarina
"Casa Casuarina was originally built in 1930 by Alden Freeman, an eccentric philanthropist, as an homage to the Alcázar de Colón, a mansion built in 1510 in Santo Domingo that was home to Christopher Columbus's son Diego. (Freeman named the house after the casuarina tree, an Australian breed that was standing on the site when Freeman began building.) Diego had been viceroy of the Indies, and his wife was related to the Spanish monarchs, so the original Alcázar de Colón had Moorish, Spanish, and Byzantine influences. Freeman transposed many of those themes to Casa Casuarina, making for a gaudy confection of a residence.
By the time Gianni found Casa Casuarina, the building was a shadow of its former self. Previous owners had broken it up into thirty tiny apartments, and rented them out to a mix of down-and-out drug addicts, moribund old people, and edgy, penniless artists. Although developers had revived scores of Art Deco buildings, they were daunted by the cost of redoing Casa Casuarina." [1]

"In 1992, Gianni spent nearly $8 million to buy both Casa Casurina and a run-down hotel next door, which he razed to make space for a pool, guest wing, and garage. The entire compound covered halfthe block, and Casa Casuarina became the only private residence on Ocean Drive. It was an unusual choice for Gianni, given that his celebrity friends, such as Madonna and Sylvester Stallone, were buying homes—set far behind guarded gates—in mainland Miami on Brickell Avenue, known as Millionaire's Row. But Gianni loved the idea of remaking the eccentric mansion. The house, with its Moorish tiles, white stucco façade, slate roof, and wrought-iron balconies, was a complete break with the house's Art Deco neighbors. The main three-story building centers around an open-air courtyard enclosed on all four sides by balconies with wooden railings. On the roof is a large L-shaped terrace, covered in brightly colored Moroccan-style tiles." [1]

"Gianni poured millions into renovating the furnishing Casa Casuarina, creating a flashy, mesmerizing style once described as 'gay baroque.' He built two concentric walls to close the compound off from the street. The ironwork on the walls and balconies—even the drains—were dotted with golden medusa heads. He spent ten thousand dollars apiece to ship in a certain type of palm tree from California because the ones native to Florida didn't have the right look." [1]
Baroque Room, Casa Casuarina, Miami
"His pool became legendary for its extravagance. He hired a Milanese craftsman, handed him one of his elaborate multicolored print scarves, and said, 'Here, I want you to copy this.' Fifty craftsmen worked for a year to create images of entwined dolphins, tridents, shells, and geometric designs, all in a blaze of red, blue, and gold. Working in Milan, they had to break slabs of marble by hand into hundreds of thousands of tiny tines—and because he didn't want to wait months to receive them by boat, Gianni had them shipped by air, at an extra cost of $200,000. Between the pool area and the mosaic floors, ceilings, and walls inside the main house, they laid more than 21,500 square feet of tiles in all. The cost: $1.5 million." [1]
A Suite of Italian Neoclassical Brass-mounted Mahogany and Parcel-Gilt Seat Furniture, First Quarter 19th Century, upholstered in Gianni Versace designed cotton velvet 'Chinese Gardener' and 'Chinese Flora' pattern
"All printed fabrics used for the upholstery are original patterns created by Gianni Versace especially for Casa Casuarina. Using these fabrics, he crafted numerous throws, pillows and seat furniture, with each item uniquely styled to help fulfill his design scheme. No detail was too small to escape his notice, from the quality of the fabrics on the outside to the quality of the linings and fillings, from the exact size and shape of a piece to the addition of decorative trimmings and embroidery, resulting in a collection perfectly suited to his tastes. These one of a kind custom designs and details often later served as prototypes, and many simpler variations were successfully introduced into the Home Collection, though never with the same amount of individualized attention." [2]

"Inside the mansion, Gianni was no more restrained. Carved wood panels, tiles, frescoes, and stained glass windows embellished the thirty-five rooms. In one room, a chandelier made of iron palm fronds hung from a ceiling that was, in turn, painted with trompe l'oeil palm fronds. in one bathroom, a golden seat sat on a marble toilet. Gianni's own suite, which looked out onto the ocean, covered eight hundred square feet and featured stained glass windows, beamed ceilings, and frescos of puffy clouds against a deep blue sky. He stuffed the house with a madcap array of furnishings—six hundred items in all. He had mahogany and gilt chairs reupholstered in red, blue or gold Versace prints, creating a riot of colors and styles. He had silk lampshades made up in purple leopard print, and he covered plush sofas in deep yellow leopard-skin patterns." [1]

Daylight saving time ends this weekend, and while most of us welcome the extra hour of sleep, for some people the time change literally causes headaches. The end of daylight saving time is typically a trigger for what doctors called cluster headaches.
"These attacks, which occur every day, occur for six to eight weeks and then go away in a cluster cycle," said Dr. Stewart Tepper who treats headache pain at Cleveland Clinic. "They cluster, that's why it's called cluster, and it looks like you can actually trigger a cycle by switching the time with daylight saving time."
The cluster of headaches typically starts a couple of days after the time change. The attacks can last anywhere from six weeks to three months and can be debilitating. This phenomenon is seen much more in men than women and experts say it's caused by circadian rhythms in the brain, said Tepper.
"The portion of the brain that is also the generator for cluster is also the portion of the brain that manages rhythms through the day and through the year - the circadian rhythms and the circannual rhythms in the hypothalamus," said Tepper. "It's not just daylight saving that can trigger these attacks. Even changing time zones can trigger cluster headaches."
There are a variety of medications that work for cluster headaches and some headache specialists will even use melatonin to try to knock them down, or even prevent their onset. Oxygen also helps a lot, so many times cluster headache patients are given an oxygen tank and a mask to help relieve pain.
If you always seem to get headaches this time of year, pay attention to your symptoms and talk to your doctor, said Tepper.
"If you're a guy who gets, once a year, a couple of months worth of severe headaches at the same time of day with runny nose, stuffy nose, tearing eye, red eye, on one side only - I would get to a headache specialist," said Tepper.

Did you do the pigeon task? They didn't show you doing it.Cathi: We got there and it was so dark that they didn't release the pigeons. They just gave us a card of the address of where the pigeon would be. That was just [more confirmation] that we were last.Do you know how much time you lost trying to find the pigeons?Bill: Probably an hour. We got there very late. The signage near the town — I don't know if someone turned the sign slightly or what — but that took us nearly half an hour, running back and forth. We went to the wrong spot on the wall, so some nice young kids directed us to the right end of the wall. It was so dark that we ended up going around the wall and finally we found the clues down below, which some of the teams drove up and spotted immediately. It helped to have a little sunlight. It took us quite awhile. Once we had that, we were able to head back to Brussels pretty fast. We lost enough time. We hadn't seen any other team. We figured it was about the end.Why was it so hard to find the place?Cathi: It was a very small place, but the actual wall is a fence kind of thing that goes around a small peak. It just meanders and it's clear on the back of the town. People would say, "You go here, you go here, you go here," but really, you had to be at exactly the right spot.Bill: Also the roads don't go straight, so pretty soon you're headed back the way you just came and you're in more trouble. The people are nice and know the terrain pretty well, but they don't understand that when they say this, it doesn't make sense to you. You're taking the first street that turns off and they mean the main street that turns off way up the hill.You seemed to have trouble with self-navigation. You lost time heading to Legoland last week and now this.Cathi: I wouldn't say that we were bad at navigation in that we never went the wrong way on the freeway ever. We were very cautious, maybe too cautious. We stopped and asked probably more often than maybe some of the other teams. The other thing is, looking back, we weren't as aggressive in our driving as we probably should've been. In other words, we really did take them at their word when they said to go the speed limit. I think some of the other teams were more aggressive in their driving and could make up any error time. We just kind of kept it at the speed limit the whole time. Maybe if we had driven faster, we could've caught up with someone. We had great luck in Copenhagen with the directions and the driving, but no such luck here.Why weren't you more aggressive?Cathi: We're pretty rule-bound. When they say "go the speed limit," we go the speed limit. If we were to do it again, we wouldn't go the speed limit. [Laughs] We'd speed and if we get a 10-minute penalty, whoopee! Because you've made up those 10 minutes.Bill: In total, it was almost 1,000 kilometers of driving. We'd been in Europe a number of times, but we always used mass transit, so as far as the driving goes, I wasn't accustomed to it, so I didn't push it. We could've made up a lot of time in that manner. We got directions that weren't easily understood, so when you ran out of what you understood, you stopped and asked again. After being almost goners the first leg, how did it feel to make the final five? Cathi: We were grateful for every moment. To have [been saved by] two non-elimination legs? We were extremely grateful for the first non-elimination because we had such a difficult time finding the board. So after that, it was like, "Do the best you can, enjoy every minute" and we did. Before the race began, the philosophy was "most of you will be eliminated," so you go in knowing that and knowing you're taking a huge risk exposing yourself. But it was definitely worth it.How do you keep in such great shape? I think everyone wants to look as good as you guys do in their 60s.Cathi: [Laughs] Did you like how the bodybuilder noticed that?They paid you more compliments than they did any other team.Cathi: I know! We work out, probably four to six times a week. We've done it for years and years. It's not something we did two or three months [before the race]. It's a lifestyle for us. We do it because we want to live as long and as happily and as healthy as we can.Cathi, you kept falling down. How many bruises did you get? Cathi: I was covered with bruises after the rice patty. There were no real injuries at all. My balance isn't very good to begin with and we neglected to take our backpacks off, so the weight would shift and I would fall.Bill: She also managed to get some beauties hanging onto the elephant. You kept going up and down on that, and she got her arms bruised up trying to hang on.Cathi: Afterward, I asked the cameraman if he would put the falls together [in a montage] for me because it was just hilarious!What are you up to now?Cathi: We are going to New Zealand in two and a half weeks. Our daughter's husband is from New Zealand, so our whole family is going there for Christmas. It's summer there, so to leave Oregon and to go to New Zealand will be great.
"With great sadness, I am sharing that Amazing Racer Bill (Season 19) has died from pancreatic cancer. He was an incredible man - full of adventure, humor, love and advice!The week before he died, we watched our season and shared, once again, the surreal feeling of being on that extraordinary journey. It was magical for us. As we watched each season, we actually felt a part of the competition and bet on the outcome of each episode.You have all played a part in our lives so we feel a bit connected. Our wish is that you continue to fill your lives with purpose and passion.Life is short - live with vibrance."

In line 107, nb is set to 32. In line 108, s is set to 32. Then, in line 219, we have
- Code: Select all
lapackf77_zgetrf( &rows, &nb0, work, &lddwork, ipiv+s*nb, &iinfo);
The magma_int_t array "ipiv" is supposed to be length n. The above code segment will reference ipiv out of bounds.
P.S. This is in magma_1.1. So, if it is fixed in magma_1.2, I apologize!

DailyDirt: Red, Red Wine...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- A group of Japanese physicists discovered that red wine could induce superconductivity in an iron telluride -- so they tried a bunch of other alcoholic beverages like sake, beer and white wine to try to figure out what was going on. The researchers found that more tartaric acid in red wine correlated well with the superconductive state, but the alcohol also played some role. With just a bit more study, red wine will solve all of our energy problems and allow us to live forever.... [url]
- University of Connecticut wine researcher Dr. Dipak K. Das published fake data on the benefits of resveratrol, so there's some doubt that this component of red wine has as many magical health benefits as some have reported. Still, the anecdotal evidence behind the "French Paradox" makes people think red wine has more than a correlation with a lower incidence of heart disease (even if there's no causal relationship). [url]
- The 'drunken monkey hypothesis' proposes that humans like alcohol because our primate ancestors were highly dependent on fruits in their diet... and ethanol can be found in overripe fruits. But did those drunken monkeys exhibit superior Kung Fu skills? [url]
- You might think that wine experts can tell the difference between an expensive French wine and a much cheaper wine from New Jersey, but you'd be mostly wrong. Wine tasting is hard. Sometimes experts can't even tell the difference between red and white wines -- and the perception of wine can be influenced significantly by the label on the bottle. [url]

The Seam, an electronic trading company out of Memphis, Tenn., hopes to do for the peanut industry what it has accomplished for cotton over the past four years: improve marketing options for both buyers and sellers through Internet trading.
"The Internet is an effective but challenging marketing tool," says Phil Burnett, president and CEO of The Seam. Burnett, speaking to the recent Southern Peanut Farmers Federation annual meeting in Panama City, Fla., said electronic trade offers the peanut industry an opportunity to "expand markets, improve relationships between customers and suppliers, and improve the flow of information, including price discovery, within the industry."
Burnett said many businesses will see decreased costs, fewer problems and fewer mistakes because of less paper in electronic trading. "Buyers and sellers also get access to information faster and they get better data," he says.
Information is in real time. "We see fewer trade distortions," Burnett says, "so we get accurate market and price information. It's a faster, more informed marketing option for buyers and sellers."
Burnett says Internet trading improves global marketing for peanuts. "The industry has new markets to reach," he says, "and an electronic marketing system brings in customers."
Aids small firms
He says the service allows even small businesses to reach new prospects with less capital outlay than they face with traditional market expansion activities.
"We proved the concept with cotton over the last four years," he says. "The Seam is the first on-line, real-time trade service for cotton. It's modeled after Telcot, which has a 25-year history. We turned that regional concept into an international system."
Four-year record
Burnett says in four years The Seam marketed more than 10 million bales of cotton, representing $2.5 billion."
The process operates on an offer and bid system. Sellers put products up for sale and buyers either accept posted prices or make counter offers. The Seam maintains a neutral position throughout the process. "We don't have a market position," Burnett says. "We don't own the commodity. It's a transparent transaction and we guarantee the trade is good."
Users include growers, merchants, cooperatives, mills, ginners (for cotton), warehouses and crushers.
"We use technology to make information available to buyers and sellers and improve the flow of goods and services."
The system works in domestic and international markets with grower-to-business as well as business-to-business opportunities. He says the cotton industry has saved billions of dollars through the system.
"Electronic warehouse receipts are the key to making the system work," Burnett says. "This year, about 85 percent of the U. S. peanut crop is in the electronic warehouse system through a pilot project."
Security, he says, is a top priority with firewalls and data encryption in place.
More competitive
"The peanut industry must be more competitive," says Kevin Brinkley, The Seam vice president. "This service offers the industry an edge in the world market. We're creating a new trading exchange for peanuts."
Brinkley says a contract with USDA to move program peanuts helps launch the new tool. "We'll help sell USDA peanut stocks and add value to those peanuts. That will reduce government budget outlays. We'll also improve price discovery in the peanut market. We hope to replicate the success we've had with cotton."
The Seam moved 156,000 bales of CCC cotton since 2003.
Brinkley says the Farm Service Agency and other entities will list peanut stocks available for sale. "Anyone who wants to sell in the system, including producers, can use The Seam," he says. "Buyers and sellers negotiate a price on a bid/ask system. Trades are cleared electronically and the transaction is guaranteed. The Seam takes a lot of risk out of transactions."
Brinkley says the service encourages consolidating inventories to attract buyers. "It provides a lot of liquidity in one location. Web information delivery permits equal access to price information, which comes through in strict trade terms in real time."
The process:
A seller creates an offer and uploads that information to The Seam.
A buyer sees the offer and can either accept the offer or make a bid.
Acceptance of a price equals a sale.
An electronic or paper warehouse receipt goes to The Seam.
The Seam holds that receipt until the seller gets paid.
The Seam gets 75 cents per ton commission from both buyer and seller. "We have no subscription fees," Brinkley says.
The process may be in place for new-crop 2005 peanuts.
Using the Internet's market potential makes sense, Burnett says. "Companies without an on-line marketing strategy will struggle."
For more information, he encourages growers, shellers and others in the peanut industry to check www.theSeam.com.

Cordoba (city, Spain)
Cordoba (province) : Cordoba (city, Spain)
Cordoba is the capital of the province of Cordoba in the region of Andalucia in Spain. A medium sized city with 350,000 inhabitants.
Situated in the center of the Andalusian Autonomous Region, Cordoba is a great cultural reference point in Europe. This ancient city, which has been declared a World Heritage Site, is a mixture of the diverse cultures that settled it throughout history.
Very few places in the world can boast of having been the capital of a Roman province (Hispania Ulterior), the capital of an Arab State (Al-Andalus, a highly civilized state in Southern Europe) and a Caliphate. Such splendour is palpable in the intellectual wealth of this centre of wisdom and knowledge, that has seen the birth of figures like Seneca, Averroes, and Maimonides.
The historic quarter of Cordoba is a beautiful network of small streets, alleys, squares and whitewashed courtyards arranged around the Mosque-Cathedral, which reflects the city's prominent place in the Islamic world during medieval times.
Córdoba is also a modern city, well connected to other Andalusian cities by the high speed train (AVE) and a very extensive rail network linking it to the major Spanish cities such as Madrid and Seville. Inside the city, it is very easy and fast to reach your destination due to an efficient public transport system.
Cordoba is also synonymous with art, culture and leisure, thanks to a myriad of cultural events that are organised here throughout the year: Flamenco festivals, concerts, ballet and other activities. These events are complemented by a number of museums and an exciting nightlife.
Outside the city are very beautiful villages like Priego de Córdoba, an example of Spanish baroque; Zuheros, the typical white Andalusian village with an impressive castle built on a rock; and Montilla. 'Parque Nacional de la Sierra de Hornachuelos' in Hornachuelos and 'Parque Natural de las Sierras Subbéticas' in Cardeña are interesting nature reserves.
Get in
By train
Ave, which stands for Spanish Hi Speed trains, are very fast and comfortable trains, but a bit more expensive compared to Bus servicies or to other trains. AVE trains run hourly from Madrid (1 hour 45 minutes, Seville (45 minutes) and Malaga (50 mins). There are also two daily Ave services to Barcelona (about five hours. Additionally, there is a very cheap sleeping train option from Cordoba to Barcelona(Andalucía express).
Alternatively to Ave there is also cheaper trains, such us the Lanzaderas to Seville and Malaga (for around 15 to 20 €) or the Altaria and the Alivia trains going to Granada (2 hours 30 minutes) and Madrid ( 2hours 30 minutes). For train schedules, prices and on-line reservations check on Renfe website.[2]
By bus
Cordoba Central Bus Station is just next to the train station. Regular buses from almost every town in Andalucia. Also regular bus services from Madrid departing from "Estación Sur" (around 6 buses per day). For bus schedule and price check the website: [3].
By plane
Fly to Sevilla, Málaga or Madrid and to Córdoba by train or bus in a few hours.
Get around
The area with the most to see is around the Old City. Everything is in walking distance, (train station, bus station, shopping area, tourist sites, restaurants, bars, etc). The typical tourist can do with the standard tourist map which can be obtained from the tourist offices (one on the east side of the Mezquita-Cathedral and the other between the Alcázar and the city walls). Orientation is provided by the river, Plaza de las Tendillas and Passeo de la Victoria. The area around the Mezquita-Cathedral is crammed with places to stay, eat and buy souvenirs.However, many visitors find it a bit too touristy, with more interesting things found wandering to the east of the Mezquita-Cathedral. On Sunday mornings you can watch a procession after the Catholic mass. Exercise caution when walking around the area near the Mezquita: beggers will try to sucker you for some money and they often work in teams. You may find yourself being charged 40 Euro for a palm reading, or having your money snatched by a little kid working together with the supposed palm reader. Just keep an eye on your things and don't get caught up with their scams.
May - ¡Mayo!. The best time to visit the city. 'The Month of Córdoba'.
During the year
The main shopping area is around the Plaza de las Tendillas: Concepción street, Cruz Conde street, Gran Capitán boulevard, Ronda de los Tejares avenue...
One of the traditional craftwork in Cordoba is jewellery. Good value jewels, specially gold, can be found around the city. However, it is advisable to buy far from touristic sites as they are the most expensive places to buy that. One place to check it is around Jesus Rescatado avenue.
Cerveceria La Peseta[11] C/ La Radio. Vial Norte, near to Hotel AC cordoba Center. Free tapas with each drink!! Beer 1.5€ Glass of local white wine 1€. Homemade traditional tapas, including local delicacies, such as salmorejo,pisto, croquetas or patatas bravas. Very busy during breakfast and lunch time.

Bernard Jenkins, 19, of Hardeeville was indicted on two counts of murder Thursday by a Jasper County Grand Jury.
A bond hearing is set for Friday at the Beaufort County Courthouse.
Jenkins was charged in October with the murder of Desmond Brown, 25, of Hardeeville, and Octavia Scott, 26, of Bluffton. The bodies of Brown and Scott were found May 11 in a ditch on a dirt portion of Purrysburg Road beside a borrowed car that had struck a large pine tree. The car was described by police as a 2007 Infiniti four-door sedan. Emergency personnel were initially called to the scene for a car wreck with bodies on the ground.
During Jenkins' December preliminary hearing, evidence was presented by SLED Lt. Shawn Harley who said Jenkins' blood was found on the car and on one of the victims' clothing.
Harley, testifying at the preliminary hearing, said Jenkins was the last person seen with Brown and Scott. Law enforcement argued Jenkins killed Brown and Scott over a $10,000 check.
Jasper County Coroner Martin Sauls said in May both deaths were caused by gunshot wounds to the head and the victims' deaths were instantaneous.
Jenkins was arrested in June on a bench warrant for failing to appear in court for burglary charges.
Jenkins was booked at the Jasper County Detention Center. Since his October arrest, he has been transferred to the Beaufort County Detention Center.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tennessee Tech senior guard Tacarra Hayes has been selected as one of only 50 participants nationwide to attend the "So You Want to be a Coach Program" at the NCAA Final Four in Denver.
"I'm really excited about attending this event," Hayes said. "I've always wanted to move on to coaching and this will definitely help me get there."
"This will be a great opportunity for Tacarra to get some hands on experience," Tennessee Tech head coach Sytia Messer said. "This is such a beneficial program and it will give Tacarra the opportunity to explore her future coaching options."
The mission of the WBCA's "So You Want To Be A Coach" program is to assist female collegiate basketball players who are interested in pursuing a career in coaching women's basketball. It focuses on professional development and career advancement through education, skills enhancement, networking and exposure opportunities while increasing awareness regarding the availability of talented female basketball players who want to coach.
After a distinguished four-year career at TTU that saw Hayes rewrite the record books, she is now looking to her future where coaching figures to be a prominent fixture.
"The thing I'm looking forward to is all the behind-the-scenes," Hayes said. "I hope to get a good feel for recruiting and to learn everything I can while I'm there."
The three-day program will feature a wide range of sessions including interview preparation, work/life balance, youth clinics, recruiting and on the court demonstrations.
Hayes finished her career ninth in scoring with 1,786 points at TTU, and is one of just two players in Tech history to finish in the Top 11 in points, rebounds, assists and steals.

Building waze for iPhone
From waze
Revision as of 19:07, 6 September 2010 by Larrygilbert (Talk | contribs)
IMPORTANT NOTE for community developers: There is required data missing from waze's source code release, including but not limited to images, sounds, and web service URLs. It's unclear whether this conforms or does not conform to the GNU GPL under which waze is published, but it does make it impossible to build a working app from the published source code.
As data becomes available to make a working build from the source code, it will be noted here. In the meantime, more experimentation is needed. The instructions given here are not enough to build a working app.
Required items
- Apple iOS SDK (no charge to register and download)
- waze source code (naturally!)—be sure to get a copy of version 1.9.0 as it includes some images not in the 2.0 sources
- A couple of TrueType fonts (maybe Liberation Sans and Sans Bold from the Fedora Project?)
- (other data not in the waze source code zip file; see important note above)
Optional items
- Apple iOS Developer Program (paid membership; necessary to build for an actual iOS device instead of just the simulator)
First build
- Make a working directory for the waze source code. It will need to be somewhere where you can add a symlink to its parent directory. For these examples, we'll say the directory is /Users/Me/iOS/waze, but it could be under any path you like.
- Unzip the source code into /Users/Me/iOS/waze. You'll end up with the source code under something like /Users/Me/iOS/waze/waze_src_2.0. Just rename it so it becomes /Users/Me/iOS/waze/src.
- Change to the parent directory (/Users/Me/iOS) and make a symlink: ln -s waze/src/iphone
- Change to the waze/src/iphone directory and make another symlink: ln -s .. src
- Fire up Xcode.
- Within Xcode, open: waze/src/iPhone/Xcode/waze.xcodeproj
- Now you can try your first build. If you go to the Build menu and choose one of the "Build and Debug" or "Build and Run" options, Xcode will automatically install the built app into the iPhone Simulator and run it there.

Nestled between the rugged Shawangunk Ridge and the Hudson River, a trail of 12 wineries weaves from New Paltz to Warwick. The Shawangunk Wine Trail is composed of independent, family-owned vineyards and wineries that collectively participate in four events each year.
Nestled between the rugged Shawangunk Ridge and the Hudson River, a trail of 12 wineries weaves from New Paltz to Warwick. The Shawangunk Wine Trail is composed of independent, family-owned vineyards and wineries that collectively participate in four events each year.
"We joined together," says Shawangunk Wine Trail Executive Director Randy Maduras, "to promote the Hudson Valley region and the wine trail itself."
Wreath Fineries at the Wineries, the final 2012 event of the Shawangunk Wine Trail, will be celebrated Saturday and Sunday, and on the first two weekends of December.
"You can choose your own starting point on the trail," says Maduras. At the first stop, ticketholders will receive a souvenir wine glass, a grapevine wreath, an ornament from the starting winery and a commemorative ornament from the Shawangunk Wine Trail. With each successive stop on the trail, Maduras says, participants receive a unique holiday ornament to add to the wreath.
The 12 wineries featured on the trail offer a variety of red and white wines, fruit and sparkling wines, vinifera and French/American varietals and blends. Four tastings will be offered at each venue, along with a finger-food sampling.
One-day and two-day tickets are available for the Wreath Fineries event so that wine tasters have the option of completing the trail over a weekend. In addition, says Maduras, "We strongly encourage the designated driver." A reduced ticket price is available for those not participating in wine tasting. The driver, she says, will receive a wreath, ornament, and food samplings. Some wineries offer the designated driver coffee or bottled water.
The Shawangunk Wine Trail hosts Pasta Primo Vino each April to kick off the season, showcasing new wine releases and pasta dishes. In June, the wineries each represent a different country, featuring its culture and cuisine. Bounty of the Hudson is an August food and wine festival. Wreath Fineries at the Wineries is perhaps the trail's most popular event, says Maduras.
"It's a chance to sample some great wines and do some holiday shopping."
Participating wineries are Adair Vineyards and Robibero Family Vineyards in New Paltz; Applewood Winery and Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery in Warwick; Baldwin Vineyards and Brimstone Hill Winery in Pine Bush; Benmarl Winery, Glorie Farm Winery and Stoutridge Vineyard in Marlboro; Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville; Palaia Vineyards in Highland Mills; and Whitecliff Vineyard in Gardiner.

If you've got a 3DS, a love for strategy games, and a home in Canada, then today is your lucky day, as Fire Emblem: Awakening is available for purchase right now at an EB Games near you.
The retailer made the announcement on Twitter, confirming that they've received the game early and that every store should be stocked with copies today.
Lucky man I wish they would do this for U.S. retailers. Gamestop usually has most games a week or more in advance an I would love to pick up my copy right now. Fire Emblem is almost the my sole reason for picking up a 3DS XL.
