Does using a Mac or PC affect your search results on online travel site Orbitz?
Orbitz revealed it has found consumers who use Apple Mac computers spend as much as 30 percent more a night on hotels, so the online travel agency is starting to recommend sometimes costlier travel options than Windows visitors see, according to a report.
But before you jump to conclusions, know that pricing is always the same. The ability to sort results by price — and other options like hotel name, star rating and point of interest — are still available to all consumers, no matter the computer used for a search.
This revelation simply means consumers need to be smart when searching and know that "recommended" hotels are just that — a suggestion. The power to pick a hotel still rests with the user.
"All consumers see the same prices on hotels on Orbitz," Orbitz CEO Barney Harford said on CNBC's "Closing Bell."
"Fundamentally our recommendation algorithms are just trying to find customers great deals by showing customers hotels that similar customers have booked," Harford said.
In an email to CNBC.com, Orbitz spokesperson Chris Chiames says, "Shoppers are shown identical (hotel) prices. They may see differences in a recommended hotel (PC vs. Mac), primarily in the 'recommended hotels' section (once you click on a property, we will suggest others you might like)."
CEO Harford in May blogged for the USA Today and revealed that Mac users are 40 percent more likely to book a four- or five-star hotel than their Windows-based PC counterparts. As such, Orbitz is able to display these types of hotels as "recommended" for users navigating to their website on a Mac.
Harford chimed in to further explain, "Nonsense that we'd charge Mac users more for the same hotel, which is unfortunately the incorrect impression that many readers seem to be drawing."
He says that the data showing Mac users book more upscale hotels is just one of many factors that determine which hotels to recommend to a given customer. This is part of larger efforts to show customers the most relevant hotels possible.
In the USA Today blog, he points to the fact that 90 percent of customers book a hotel from those listed on the first page of results (typically the first 25 hotels). He says, "If we're not showing relevant options to our customers, they will look elsewhere to make their selection."
Personalized search results are nothing new and will undoubtedly continue as companies become smarter in using deeper data mining techniques to deliver the right results to the right person.
There's no one pointing a gun to your head requiring that you book a certain hotel. Expand your search until you find what you're looking for.

Hood River County Christmas Project coordinator Bruce Holmson has announced registration dates for the upcoming 2013 holiday season. According to Holmson, the sole purpose of the program is to provide assistance with holiday food and children's gifts, during the Christmas holidays, to low-income families living within Hood River County.
The Christmas Project is available to Hood River County families meeting State of Oregon Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) standards (previously known as food stamps), although they do not need to be presently receiving SNAP benefits. Families wishing to apply will need to bring proof of income and residency. Eligible children in the family must be living at home. Christmas Project applications will be taken again this year at the following locations:
In Cascade Locks, applications will be taken at The Cascade Locks City Hall – FISH Food Bank on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 2 to 4 p.m.
In Hood River, applications are being taken at the Oregon Department of Human Services, 1610 Ninth Court on the Heights off of Pacific Avenue, on Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8, 15, 22 and Dec. 6, and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 9, 16, 23 and Dec. 7.
In Odell, applications will be taken at the Odell Food Bank, 3440 Odell Highway, from 4-6 p.m. on Thursdays, Nov. 14 and Dec. 5.
In Parkdale, applications will be taken at the Parkdale Community Church during Food Bank hours (4-6 p.m.) on Mondays, Nov. 11 and 25.
Applicants can sign up at whichever location is most convenient for them.
This year, the Hood River County Fairgrounds has again offered its facilities for distribution of the Christmas baskets to the families. Registered families will need to come to the Community Building this year, on Dec. 20 and 21, from 1-6 p.m. to pick up their baskets. Baskets for seniors and people with disabilities will be delivered to their residences Saturday, Dec. 21.
Holmson said that last year the Christmas Project provided food and toys to approximately 500 families (more than 2,000 men, women and children) within Hood River County.
"We will continue to need the community's help in money donations, toys, and food items, to make another successful year," he said.
The main fundraiser for the Christmas Project this year is the 17th Annual Gala Fashion Show, scheduled for Nov. 15 (Friday) at the Best Western Hood River Inn Gorge Room. Insitu, Dakine and Pistil are helping to sponsor the gala this year.
In addition, a Hood River Lions grant will be used to help purchase new toys and a grant from the United Way of the Columbia Gorge will be used to add a variety of healthy, nutrient-packed food items within each family's food box. Many area churches, civic organizations, local schools, individuals and families participate by sponsoring families, or donating food, toys, and cash.
During mid-November and December, the following businesses will have food and toy collection barrels for folks to drop off items:
Alder Creek Kayak and SUP
CenterPointe Community Bank
The Children's Play Place
Columbia State Bank
Hood River Middle School
Hood River News
Hood River Sports Club
Horizon Christian School
Naked Winery
Orchard Lanes Bowling
Print It/Sign Media
Washington Federal Savings
Westside Elementary School
Wy'east Middle School
To contribute to the Christmas Project, checks may be mailed to P.O. Box 872, Hood River, OR 97031. All donations are tax-deductible [501 (c)(3) organization].
As always, the committee is looking for new people to help with family registration and directing or participating in various aspects of the project.

Salt Lake City: Tracking Utah's Pastrami Burger at Crown Burgers
Crown Burgers
Multiple locations in Utah listed at crown-burgers.com
Cooking Method: Charbroiled
Short Order: The Crown Burger features a quarter-pound patty topped with pastrami. Even if the final product tastes more of pastrami than burger and is a little dry, meat-topped-meat is delicious.
Want Fries with That? The fries were just fine, but worth the Utah cultural experience of dipping them in fry sauce.
Price: Crown Burger, $4.95; hamburger, $3.50; cheeseburger, $3.90
Damon referenced Utah's pastrami-topped burgers in his review of The Hat in Los Angeles, and Kenji tried to not-quite-recreate it in The Burger Lab, but until now, this famed burger had yet to be reviewed on AHT. It's time to put the spotlight on this pastrami burger—specifically the one from Crown Burgers.
Pastrami burgers—and Utah fast food hamburgers in general—are inextricably linked with a history of Greek immigrant restaurateurs. You can read more about the story in the New York Times and Salt Lake City Weekly, so I'll simply summarize it as follows: Greek immigrants in a Mormon town take an all-American food and top it with Jewish luncheon meat.
Pastrami burgers are on the menu at a number of local mini-chains, but the originator in Utah was Crown Burgers, which opened its first branch in 1978. There are now seven locations throughout Utah, all owned by members of the Katsanevas family. The places offer a full-on fast food hamburger menu with some Greek touches (the gyro isn't bad), but the pastrami burger—fittingly called the Crown Burger—is the signature.
The Crown Burger comes as a quarter-pound patty topped with at least that much pastrami, along with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, and a bit of onion, all on a lightly toasted sesame seed bun. The ultra-thin patty made of fresh-ground beef is charbroiled—waiting in line at Crown Burgers means occasionally getting to watch flames leap from the grill towards the ceiling. With a patty this thin, cooking it all the way through is the only option. It's not moist, but it sports a caramelized exterior and some healthy grill marks that you can definitely taste.
Then there's the pastrami. It's made in-house and sliced to a medium thickness—these aren't the hearty slices you'd expect at a Jewish deli, nor are they quite paper thin. Crown Burgers' pastrami isn't powerfully spiced, but it's still salty and smoky. Even this somewhat mild pastrami overwhelms the flavor of the burger, which is a shame since there's good beefy flavor there. Nonetheless, the entire concoction is flavorful and pretty satisfying. If there's a major complaint, it's that the whole offering is a bit dry.
There's a solution to that: Add fry sauce. For those who don't know, fry sauce is a mixture of ketchup, mayo, and often relish or some variation of spices. Basically, it's Thousand Island dressing. It was supposedly invented at the Utah-based chain Arctic Circle, and though you'll find it in other states, fry sauce is so firmly linked with Utah food culture that when the Olympics came to town in 2002, one of the available souvenirs was a fry sauce lapel pin (yeah, that's pretty awesome). A little bit of the sauce is already on the bottom bun of the Crown Burger, but a judicious dollop here and there moistens up the whole operation. Just don't go overboard because fry sauce is a tad sweet.
Beyond the main event, Crown Burgers has all the usual trappings of a fast food joint. I found the fries completely unmemorable, except that I got to eat them with the fry sauce. The chocolate shake was pretty standard, though extra-thick—the straw didn't stand a chance.
There's a thriving burger culture in Utah that's just begging to be explored. If you're a burger-phile, Crown Burgers seems like the right first stop. Try some fry sauce and indulge in a pastrami burger. It's not the perfect burger, but it's hard to complain about meat-topped-meat, and I'd peg it as better than your average chain-burger. Start with Crown Burgers, and then there's Astro Burgers, Apollo Burgers, Olympus Burger, Arctic Circle, Hires Big H...
I'm going to need to have AHT send me to Utah again soon.

Irish writers have always shined a bright light into the darkest parts of human nature. In this sense Eugene O'Neill, although born in New York and raised in Connecticut, is an Irish writer of the first order, because literally nothing escapes his lighthouse gaze.
Widely regarded as America's greatest playwright, throughout the last two decades his major works have been brilliantly and even obsessively revived by the Irish Repertory Theatre, with unforgettable drama being the usual result.
In Beyond the Horizon, a deeply moving tale of false starts and might-have-beens that seems to have sprung directly from the global Irish experience, O'Neill is at his best as an excavator of the private and unforeseen costs of making all the wrong decisions for all the right reasons.
First performed in 1920, when it won the young playwright the Pulitzer Prize, the story retains a nursery freshness that arises from its biblical storyline.
The first full-length play O'Neill wrote, right from the start of his career you can hear distinctly that saturnine note that arises from his having the rare courage to look at the world face on, unflinchingly.
The play focuses on two brothers, Andrew and Robert, who enjoy a rare degree of fraternal respect and even friendship. As the play opens Robert, a poetic dreamer, is about to go off to sea, while the homebody Andrew simply looks forward to marrying his childhood sweetheart Ruth and working hard on the family farm for the rest of his days.
But then something unexpected happens. Ruth reveals she really loves Robert, giving him a reason to stay home and shattering Andrew's modest dreams of starting a family on the farm.
The two brothers switch places. Andrew goes to sea and Robert stays home to work the farm. What had looked like the natural order is then overturned with fateful and far-reaching consequences for them all.
So it's a melancholy tale, Beyond the Horizon, but life often is too. What makes O'Neill such a devastatingly effective playwright is his refusal to look away from the every day disasters that can befall any of us all too quickly, even with the best intentions.
It's what's fascinating about O'Neill too. What's distinctive about O'Neill's plays is how spiritually Irish (rather than American) his view of life's real possibilities are.
The Irish can be said to spend their lives anticipating tragedies that have yet to strike, but to Americans the future can be a source of endless optimism. O'Neill stands with his contrary Irish forbearers in this regard, and it's part of the secret of the enduring power of his work.
As Robert, actor Lucas Hall is believably at sea in a life on land he never planned for himself. As his brother Andrew, actor Rod Brogan gives tender expression to the conflicting impulses that have given his life its unexpected character.
But the night belongs to actress Wren Schmidt, who plays Ruth, and whose tragic journey is the heart and soul of this production. Beginning as a bright young thing with her whole life ahead of her, she ends the night cowed and crushed by too much heartache.
Schmidt never misses a note on the long road from love to loathing, but the sheer force of O'Neill's imaginings seem to hit the young actress with the same intensity they hit his creations. By curtain she looked shell-shocked and spent, a sure sign that the emotional wallop this play delivers is more than just skin deep.
Beyond the Horizon is about losing the courage to live the life you've dreamed of – and the steep cost that making safer choices can result in.
Set on an open road, one that cruelly has not been taken, the play is at its best when it focuses on the individual costs that bad decisions (an O'Neill obsession) create in all the years that follow them.
Ciaran O'Reilly directs lucidly throughout and is to be thanked for reviving this absorbing early play.
The production has uneven moments when light comedy involving the old sea dog Captain Dick Scott seems to belabor the play's dual themes of choice and consequences, but the pace revives after the early act one banter and the work turns into something increasingly rich and strange.
O'Reilly has become an ideal interpreter of O'Neill's work because he brings both an Irish and American sensibility to his staging, and in the process he has revealed something arresting about the writer -- O'Neill is an Irish playwright, at least spiritually because he stands at all times with his maimed Irish forbears.
Beyond the Horizon plays at the Irish Repertory Theatre. 132 West 22nd Street, until April 8. For tickets and showtimes visit www.irishrep.org.

Checking In On Andy Enfield and USCPosted by Andrew Murawa (@AMurawa) on November 26th, 2013
In all likelihood, the last time you saw USC play, if at all, was on opening night when the Trojans put on a public display of masonry in a 13-point loss at Utah State. Since then the Trojans have taken care of business against four overmatched teams, and were it not for some Lane Kiffin-like quotes from the team's new head coach Andy Enfield, you could say that the team was flying a bit under the radar. But since Enfield was one of the bigger stories in the preseason Pac-12 chatter, it is high time we check in with USC and see what kind of progress his team is making in the first year of Dunk City West.
The biggest news is that leading returning scorer J.T. Terrell has been declared academically ineligible for the fall semester, meaning he's got to take care of business between now and final exams in order to have a chance to get back for the spring semester. Given his shaky history off the court, there's a legitimate possibility that won't happen. In the short term, this obviously hurts the Trojans' chances, especially as they head to the Battle 4 Atlantis later this week. An athletic wing with an affinity for jacking up quick shots, Terrell is one of the few guys on the USC roster who seems to fit snugly into Enfield's system. But as a senior, it wouldn't kill his long-term plans if Terrell never plays another minute in Troy. The big picture view is that Enfield is spending this year playing a lot of guys and seeing who fits in for the future. And if Terrell isn't around to join the team, that's just more minutes to give to younger guys with an opportunity to improve.

For much of the past year, skeptics of the current bull market had a long list of valid arguments, including everything from a dangerous breakup of the eurozone and violence in the Middle East to political gridlock in D.C.
Continue Reading Below
With those aforementioned concerns easing (at least for now) and the Dow Industrials recently recapturing the 14000 threshold, even some longtime bulls now acknowledge a new worry: the atmosphere could quickly become too bullish for stocks.
If investors suddenly become too exuberant for equities, Wall Street could then suffer a steep correction when confronted by the re-emergence of an old problem or signs the Federal Reserve is worried about an asset bubble.
"I'm worried about a melt-up that could propel the S&P 500 to my yearend target of 1665 before the middle of the year," Ed Yardeni, president of investment advisory Yardeni Research, warned clients this week. "That might be too much of a good thing."
A surge to 1665 would represent an impressive 10% leap for the broad index from Wednesday's close at 1512, leaving the market up nearly 17% in 2013 alone.
Such a rally could prompt Fed officials to signal an increased willingness to turn off the lights of the easy-money party that has long been a central pillar of the current bull market.
There have already been signs the markets may have rallied too fast, underscored by a trio of triple-digit retreats this week that have backed the blue chips away from 14000.
2013 Starts With a Bang
Overall, Wall Street veterans and retail investors are impressed with the bullish start to the year, even with the recent pullback.
Kick started by the fiscal-cliff compromise, the current rally has carried the major indexes within striking distance of all-time highs. Market internals have also mostly been very encouraging, highlighted by broad-based gains across the spectrum of market capitalization and sector.
Investors have largely shrugged off bad news, focusing instead on cautious optimism about Europe, a strong first half of earnings season and new evidence suggesting the U.S. private sector is withstanding ongoing fiscal uncertainty.
"It would appear, while the numbers continue to be somewhat volatile, that we are in a more self-sustaining place" in the economic recovery, said Eric Weigand, senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, pointing to "material improvement" in the labor and housing markets.
Encouraged by the recent gains, even retail investors appear to be slowly edging off the sidelines.
According to the Investment Company Institute, U.S. mutual funds in January experienced the first positive month of inflows since April 2011, hauling in $23.73 billion over the past three weeks alone.
"People are fearful of underperforming and are playing catch up. Many people are feeling pressure to join the move," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital Group (NYSE:KCG).
Too Bullish?
Likewise, investor sentiment gauges, which some look at as contrarian indicators, highlight the degree of bullishness in the marketplace now.
The ratio of bulls to bears compiled by Investors Intelligence rallied to nine-month highs of 2.43 last week, a level that Yardeni said "has often been a good sell signal in the past, though mostly just before minor corrections."
The fear among some market bulls is that a so-called "melt up" in equities could trigger concerns inside the Federal Reserve that the central bank's unprecedented easy money policies are fueling another stock bubble.
"The market could then have a nasty correction during the second half of the year if we learn that Fed officials are increasingly alarmed that they are doing it again, i.e., pumping air into another stock market bubble," said Yardeni.
But some doubt the Ben Bernanke-led Fed will take away the punch bowl just yet.
"I think it is a bubble and I think it will collapse but I wouldn't be so sure this is going to correct any time soon because that's the nature of bubbles: they go on a lot longer than expected," said Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars and a partner at hedge fund JAC Capital Advisors.
Weigand said he believes for now the market is "walking that thin line" between growth that still needs help from the Fed and developments that would cause the central bank to hint at higher rates.
"We still think there are opportunities for the market to progress from here," he said. "We do acknowledge we have seen the markets move abruptly higher early this year. It wouldn't change our outlook considerably if we did see a pause in the near term."

Begin reading now.
I do, however, want to highlight a couple very poignant posts from yesterday's offerings. First, the post made by the King of the Geneabloggers, Thomas MacEntee, on Destination Austin Family, in which he lists what he is thankful for. If I were anywhere near as eloquent as Thomas, that is what I would say. Randy Seaver's post on Genea-Musings also deserves top billing alongside Thomas' for what he is thankful for. Thank you, gentlemen! You both inspire me to be a better blogger, a better genealogist and a better person.
The other blog posts I enjoyed reading this week . . .
I Won NaNoWriMo from GenWest UK - about a limited time, self directed novel writing project. What a novel idea! Write a novel in 30 days! Maybe that's what I need to jump start my long held but never fulfilled dream of writing a book. Truly an inspirational challenge for writers and wannabe writers. Apparently there is also a challenge to do a 100 page screenplay.

Bringing a smile to my face this week was Nancy's Addendum from Dad on the Family Tree University blog. Dad sounds like he's a lot of fun! I definitely related to his comment about the greatest human drive is the urge to edit other people's copy. Dad had to have been a newspaperman; am I right?
Lisa Wallen Logsdon of Old Stones Deciphered wrote a piece for "There's One in Every Family" Carnival of Genealogy called Boy Hero Saves Life of Abraham Lincoln. She relates a wonderful journey about taking a piece of family lore and proving that the incident really happened - and a historical marker as evidence to boot!

On July 30 Darryl and Darvel Lloyd sat at the summit of Mt. Adams, on a large buildup of snow in front of the summit lookout. They posed for a picture, exactly as they had 50 years ago.
The Lloyd brothers' first excursion up Mt. Adams was, as Darryl says, "a misadventure at best." The 10-year-old twins set foot for the summit with their father, Les Lloyd, outfitted in denim pants and coats, cotton gloves and flimsy boots. The less-than-optimal mountain gear was selected due to the sheer toughness of their father, who Darryl refers to as, "a real forester."
"He was a seat-of-the-pants climber," said Darryl.
At the summit, the brothers posed for the picture that would later inspire the 50th anniversary climb.
"We were sick from the altitude, we were tired from the climb and the wind almost blew us off the mountain," said Darryl, "but we were smiling for that picture. Typical 10 year-olds."
The anniversary climb was a "day of history" according to Darryl. "I'm not saying that we set history, because we didn't," said Darryl, "We weren't the youngest to climb Adams in 1953 and we aren't the oldest to climb it now. But the idea that we came full circle with the first climb is something really historic for me in the sense that I have watched the mountain for 50 years."
The most recent climb began on July 29 with HC Tupper, who was celebrating another 50 — his birthday — and HC's son, Evan. The group camped at 8,000 feet and reached the summit after six hours of climbing early Wednesday. This climb was more of a "prepared" journey, according to Darryl. However, it was not without its minor mishaps.
"It was the hottest day of the year and we left our crampons at home," said Darryl, "That was a mistake, we could have used the crampons. Regardless, we were forced over onto Suksdorf Ridge to continue our ascent. That is where we found the highest plant on Mt. Adams. It was a 'shortfruited smelowskia' or the more common name 'alpine smelowskia' at 11,000 feet."
"Also, I got a bit dizzy from the altitude," said Darryl, "I usually don't notice it. Maybe it was just another memory from 50 years ago."
Darryl Lloyd, owner and photographer of Long Shadow Photography, has explored the land on Mt. Adams over 100 times in his life, "I never really counted," said Darryl, "and I haven't summited every climb. That isn't what it's about for me. I just really like being up on the mountain. I like taking pictures, documenting the mountain. It's the monarch of Washington's South Cascades."

Difference between revisions of "Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Rambler Rock"
Revision as of 09:11, 4 April 2011
The dive site Rambler Rock is an offshore rocky reef in the Simon's Town area on the Cape Peninsula side of False Bay, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
A reef south east of the Roman Rock lighthouse off Simon's Town Harbour. It is marked on the SAN charts which show two major groups of rocks at this site: the north group and the south group.
This site is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). A permit is required.
The reef is marked on the SA Navy charts as "Rambler Rock".
Maximum depth about 22m on the sand at the West pinnacle. Top of the pinnacle is about 10m. Maximum depth at the eastern reefs is about 27m on the sand. The top of this section is estimated at 12m
Visibility is difficult to predict, and may differ from sites further inshore (usually better) and further south (may be better or worse). When conditions are generally good for this area it may be in excess of 10m, more commonly a bit less.
North West pinnacle
Very large boulders and outcrops over a fairly small area (About 75m East to West, 35m North to South), coarse sand bottom, a few outlying outcrops of smaller size.
North East reefs
Extensive fairly low profile reef with areas of moderately high profile boulders. Not very well known, but pleasantly varied.
South pinnacle
(description needed, please help)
Geology: Granite of the late Pre-Cambrian Peninsula pluton
This site can be dived at any time of the year that has low or short period swell. Poor visibility at the surface does not necessarily extend to the bottom. The site is exposed to winds from all directions, which can produce an unpleasant choppy sea, and make it difficult for the boat crew to see a diver on the surface. The site is usually at it's best in winter and spring.
Get in
This site is only accessible by boat. It is about 3.9 km from Simon's Town or 5.4km from Miller's Point.
Marine life
The rocks are encrusted with a variety of organisms depending on depth and orientation. There is kelp and sea urchins on the tops of the pinnacles, and Red-bait and other large solitary ascidians scattered around. The steeper sides are largely covered by common feather stars, There are also occasional sea fans, some quite large. The sand is coarse and shelly near the rocks, and there are sand stars, brittle stars, sand slugs, burrowing anemones and purple sea pens on the sand.
This is a good photographic site. (photographic equipment suggestions)
Stay safe
A Great White shark has been seen at this site.
No special skills required, though the ability to deploy a DSMB is useful as most dives are from a live boat.
A light is useful to restore colour at depth, a compass to keep track of your movements, a DSMB to let the boat know where you are surfacing, and Nitrox can extend no-decompression time significantly in this depth range.

NORTON, Mass. – An 8-1 run that spanned the second and third quarters propelled Wheaton College to a 10-5 win over MIT in a Pilgrim Lacrosse League game on Wednesday afternoon. Senior Ernie Park (Plainsboro, N.J.) earned four assists with three coming on goals by freshman Bill Kelleher (Pittsburgh, Pa.).
Park set up junior Sean Burke (Centennial, Colo.) for the first goal of the game just two minutes in but the Lyons tallied the equalizer on an extra-man opportunity shortly thereafter. The deadlock would hold until the 13:56 mark in the second quarter when Wheaton recorded the first of four straight goals to claim a 5-1 lead. The Engineers ended their scoring drought with 29 seconds remaining before the intermission courtesy of a solo strike by sophomore Ben Hessels (Laytonsville, Md.).
The first six minutes of the third stanza were a defensive battle before Wheaton generated another four-goal spurt that increased its margin to 9-2. MIT's offense found its rhythm early in the fourth quarter when the Kelleher-Park tandem registered back-to-back goals two minutes apart. The hosts capped their scoring midway through the frame while Park and Kelleher collaborated for the final marker of the game.
Senior Bryan Beller (Dix Hills, N.Y.) posted four groundballs and three caused turnovers while sophomore Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.) notched three groundballs and two caused turnovers. Park bolstered the defense with four groundballs as junior Christopher Rullan (Wexford, Pa.) totaled eight saves and five groundballs.
MIT (6-7, 2-3 Pilgrim) concludes the regular season by hosting conference foe Clark University on Saturday, April 28.

Next week�s Burlington City Council meeting will be packed with planning and zoning matters, namely two public hearings on rezoning requests, and a third on restructuring the city�s board of adjustment.
The city council began looking at reorganizing the board of adjustment in early April, when Zoning Administrator Joey Lea brought up the idea at a work session. He and Amy Nelson, director of planning and economic development, asked to reduce the 12-member board to five members, and change the board�s voting policy.
Currently, the board is to consist of six residents of Burlington, appointed by the council, and six living in the city�s extraterritorial jurisdiction and appointed by the Alamance County Board of Commissioners. Lea said this structure means there are essentially two boards since extraterritorial jurisdiction members vote only on extraterritorial matters � and not those within city limits.
The proposed five-member board would consist of four Burlington residents and one representing the extraterritorial jurisdiction � and all five would vote on all cases, said Lea. There would be two alternate members for the city and two alternates for Burlington�s extraterritorial jurisdiction, for a total of nine members.
The city council will also hold separate public hearings on two rezoning requests � one for a new apartment complex on Kirkwood Drive and the other for a tractor dealership.
Summerfield-based Stewart Wimberley Enterprises, LLC, is asking to rezone 3.16 acres along Kirkwood Drive from a planned industrial district and multifamily district to conditional residential district, so the company can build Kirkwood Place Apartments at the location.
The proposed apartment complex, which would sit next to Bible Baptist Church at 2733 Kirkwood Drive, would consist of two buildings, each three stories tall and 14,400 square feet, with a total of 53 apartment units if the rezoning request is approved.
A second rezoning request before the council is for approximately six acres on the north side of Whites Kennel Road, about 550 feet from the intersection of Anthony Road and Whites Kennel Road.
A public hearing will be held to consider the request to rezone the area from planned industrial residential district to conditional industrial district, so a John Deere tractor dealership can relocate from its current location off Maple Avenue, said C.G. Byrd, whose family owns the dealership.
�Our family�s been a John Deere dealer since 1951,� Byrd said.
In 1970 the family businesses � then called Byrd Tractor and Equipment and Byrd Lawn and Garden � built a new building at 2115 Stanley Drive, nestled between Bradley Street and Peace Lane in Burlington.
The Byrd family businesses merged with Quality Equipment in 2008 and, �We are a 12-store group now,� Byrd said. He wants more exposure and a more modern building for the Burlington location, hence the move to Whites Kennel Road.
�Some people have a little trouble finding the dealership,� said Byrd. �The building has aged.�
If the rezoning request is approved, Quality Equipment LLC will relocate to the new location, where Byrd will continue to sell agricultural, lawn and garden products, and small construction equipment, and sell and repair John Deere tractors.
The city council will hold public hearings and vote on each request at a meeting May 7 in council chambers, beginning at 7 p.m.

Really good article. I have to really underscore the comments on price negotiation—thinking about this before the pitch is critical. Don't try to bluff why the site could cost 'n-x' if you can't answer why you added 'x' in the first place!
This is why taking a modular approach to your pricing is useful—and it helps potential clients who, with all the will in the world, can't come up with the funds for the all-singing, all-dancing site initially requested. We've had lots of clients for whom we've developed extensive sites based upon this approach.

By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans
Shaer gas field, three words that must strike fear into the head of any National Defence Force (NDF) member without any active assignment in Syria. Being stationed at Shaer guarantees heavy action, frequent Islamic State attacks and unfortunately for many drafted recruits, death. The capture of Shaer by the Islamic State on the 5th of May 2016 is the third time that its fighters gained control of the gas field. Shaer and its surrounding checkpoints were under heavy attack since the first of May, and its defenders were ultimately defeated on the 5th of May. The ghaneema (spoils of war) is said to have amounted to no less than twenty T-55s and T-62s, nine howitzers and field guns, ATGMs and a large number of small arms and associated ammunition.
The capture of Shaer stands symbol for a situation that so often happens throughout regime-controlled Syria: Opposing forces overrun poorly trained conscripts defending a location which is massively overstocked with arms, forcing a well-trained and motivated Syrian Arab Army (SyAA) formation to abandon its current offensive in order to recapture the important location that has just been lost, resulting in another stalled offensive or even further terrain loss due to the mass departure of troops. This task is often given to Suheil 'The Tiger' al-Hassan along with his Tiger Force, which was behind the previous two offensives to retake Shaer gas field and will undoubtedly be tasked with recapturing it for a third time again.
While it is not uncommon for places to switch hands several times during the course of the war, losing such an important location three times in just over two years is shocking to say the least. The concentration of armour and artillery both in Shaer and the surrounding checkpoints have always been massive, and should in theory be more than capable of handling the infantry focused tactics empoyed by the Islamic State. A total of thirteen checkpoints were believed to have been set up around Shaer, most with its own armour support or even artillery support. While a suprise Islamic State attack on either one of these checkpoints is incredibly likely to succeed, this puts its fighters within firing range of tanks and artillery stationed at other checkpoints nearby. Indeed, artillery could play a decisive role in keeping fighters of the Islamic State at bay and denying large troop concentrations, especially when assisted by UAVs.
While the concentration of artillery this time around was inferior to the previous defenders, which could call on 122mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers and 122mm BM-21 Grad MRLs, it still boosted up to nine 122mm D-30 howitzers and 130mm M-46 field guns, two of which have been visually confirmed by footage of Shaer. While these howitzers and field guns thus could prove a valuable asset in the hands of the defenders, one of the two 122mm D-30 howitzers seen in Islamic State released footage was simply dumped into a corner of its base. In fact, both howitzers were in travel mode, and for one gun this likely indicates that is was left untouched after its arrival at Shaer. The same applied for the single 57mm AZP S-60, also in travel position with its associated ammuntion neatly packed behind the anti-aircraft gun.
While the situation is certainly better with self-propelled artillery and armoured fighting vehicles, as these always come with their own crew, these create another major problem however. As the SyAA was deprived of most of its combat power, its tanks stopped operating in pre-exisiting units (or what was left of them after years of fighting and defections) and were instead individually attached to various NDF units or worse, attached to defend locations such as Shaer. As a result, NDF detachments often consist of 'a tank from this brigade, an artillery gun from this regiment, a conscript from Damascus, a conscript from Aleppo and so on'. This results in units which in fact consist of several individual components, which all received their training elsewhere, rather than a well-oiled machine. This is then further worsened by the composition of personnel in many of these units. While some NDF units consist of conscripts and volunteers from the same town or neighbourhood, most units are made up by personnel with other religions and personal motivations, resulting in distrust among its members. Personal motivations for joining the NDF can range to anything from defending one's town to the need to earn money for one's family to having been drafted after walking by a regime checkpoint at the wrong time, put onto a bus and sent to a military base nearby for training.
The fact that such poorly trained, yet overstocked with arms, units remain responsible for protecting highly important locations highlights the chronic shortage of (well trained and motivated) manpower on the side of the regime. A larger influx of Shiite fighters deployed by Iran can only partially solve this issue, which is unlikely to be ever completely resolved.
While the Islamic State was quick to claim that it had captured twenty T-55s and T-62s, nine howitzers and field guns, ATGMs and a large number of small arms and associated ammunition, images and footage of Shaer and its surrounding checkpoints have so far shown the capture of far less equipment. As the previous NDF detachments defending Shaer could also count on around twenty armoured fighting vehicles, the lack of footage could be due to the large amounts of checkpoints captured on the vast size of the terrain that is Shaer.
The heavy armament seen in footage and images included one T-62 Model 1972, two T-55As (one of which upgraded with the addition of a North Korean laser rangefinder) and one BMP-1. All tanks were captured intact, with the image of the first T-55A indicating this tank took part in defending Shaer but was later abandoned by its operators.
The amount of vehicles found left behind at Shaer was substantial, and included at least twelve technicals and four trucks. All 14.5mm KPV guns, at least six of which found, were removed from the technicals by the fighters of the Islamic State however, likely indicating that not all technicals are to be taken with them. The ZPU-4 armed Isuzu gun truck lost all of its 14.5mm barrels in a similar fashion.
captured by fighters of the Islamic State at Ayyash on the 20th of January 2016.

Hot tub
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Hot tub folliculitis is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This form of bacteria survives in hot tubs, especially tubs made of wood. Controlling the acid and chlorine level in the water can limit the growth of the bacteria.
The first symptom of hot tub folliculitis is an itchy, bumpy, red rash. Symptoms can appear from several hours to 2 days after contact with the bacteria.
- Turn into dark red, tender
- Have bumps that fill with pus
- Look like acne
- Be thicker under swimsuit areas where the water has been in contact with the skin longer
People who shared the hot tub may have the same rash.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider canoften make this diagnosis based on looking at the rash and knowing that youve been in a hot tub. Testing is usually not needed.
Treatment may not be needed. Themild form of the disease often clears on its own. Anti-itch medicines may be used to ease discomfort.
In severe cases, your health care provider may prescribe an antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin.
Expectations (prognosis)
This condition usually clears without scarring. The problem may come back if you use the hot tub again before it has been cleaned.
Abscessformation (rare)
- Discomfort
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of hot tub folliculitis.
Controlling the acid levels and chlorine content of the hot tub may help prevent the problem.

Jing Herbs, which has its headquarters in Los Angeles, California, is a formulator and manufacturer of the finest and most authentic tonic herb formulas available in the world. "Jing" was chosen as the company name from ancient Taoist text simply because it means the source, the foundation, the primal "essence" of human beings.
The company was founded and incorporated by George J. Lamoureux on 02-02-2002. With a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture from the prestigious Yo San University and an extensive background in clinical and tonic herbalism, George Lamoureux is considered one of the world's top authorities of Taoist tonic herbalism, health, longevity, and nutrition.
Quality Assurance
In the face of domestic concerns over the adulteration of foods and botanical materials coming from China, Jing Herbs continues to raise the bar on quality, purity, and safety.
At Jing Herbs, we sincerely want consumers to be able to experience and benefit from the vast bounty of the herbs that grow in China, and the 5,000 years of traditional wisdom that has brought the herbal industry to its current position of prominence there. In every way possible, we strive to produce products that achieve that goal, while working to dispel the myth that herbal ingredients from processors in China are of unknown quality. We at Jing Herbs are proud to stand 100% behind the quality, purity, and safety of our products.
- 50 grams per packet
- 25 servings per packet
- Concentrated extract powder
George Lamoureaux (founder of Jing Herbs) says, " (Herbalism) has become much too serious for a lot of people, that's not what it's meant to be. Herbalism can be a lot of fun, and it can really bring joy to your life. Don't get so stuck on dosages - play with it, experiment with it, see where it takes you. Sometimes you will make mistakes, it's not a bad thing. Lighten up a bit about it..'

You need three elements – Vitalized Energy, Reduced Stress, and Increased Adaptability.
You're probably already familiar with the word "Qi," that loosely translates as "Energy." Qi is also known as the second Treasure in the "Three Treasures" of Traditional Chinese Medicine and philosophy. The first Treasure is known as "Jing" or "Essence," and the third Treasure is known as "Shen" or "Spirit." Together, these Three Treasures form the foundation of health and longevity. Jing is a deep source of energy is meant to last us a lifetime and forms our basic constitution. Qi is the day-to-day energy we derive from the foods we eat and the air we breathe. Shen is our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being; it is our connection to our higher selves, and that which makes us fully realized human beings. To be truly successful, you must have all Three Treasures protected, nourished, and balanced.
The only true state of health is perfect adaptability and capacity to manage the unrelenting physical, biological, emotional, and environmental stressors that we have to endure. This kind of stress requires assistance. The ancient sages and herbalist long ago discovered the power of herbs for maintaining homeostasis, and science is now backing that up. Assure your success in the face of life's challenges with Jing Herbs.

Wish Riders needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 369 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
WIsh Riders coming soon to ABC
A one-hour television special is being taped for the ABC Network in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. WISH RIDERS, features an eclectic group of bikers who embark on an amazing journey to grant the wishes of some very special children facing life threatening illness.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation started 30 years ago when a group of people gathered together to grant the wish of 7-year old Chris Greicius as he gallantly fought leukemia. His wish was to be a Motorcycle Highway Patrolman, and that experience would become the inspiration for the largest wish-granting organization in the world. These wishes give hope to the children and their families, and with hope and the will to fight, anything is possible.
The merchandise for Wish Riders should appeal to traditional motorcycle enthusiasts (Harley Davidson) as well as those consumers who have enjoyed apparel from clothing lines such as Affliction and Ed Hardy. The merchandise will be featured on the cast of the Wish Riders TV show, also available for purchase online and at participating Harley Davidson dealers.
We're looking for some great T-Shirt designs (either short sleeve or long).

GameStop expects only one new console launch in 2013
The boss of global games retailer GameStop doesn't believe that both the Xbox 720 and PS4 will launch in 2013.
"The Wii U, we expect it at holiday," CEO Paul Raines told Polygon. "This week, I'm getting a lot of rumours that are very interesting about 2013.
We have not been expecting two more consoles in 2013. We're expecting Wii U this holiday, another one next year, and another one in '14. These rumours change every week, but we're hearing more about next year."
Of course, it should be reiterated that no one knows precisely when the next-gen machines will arrive.
What we do know is that Xbox 720 is further along the production line than PS4. However, we also know that elements within the Sony hierarchy are determined not to allow the Next Xbox to enjoy the same sort of head start on the market that 360 had over PS3.
MCV is of the understanding that both companies plan to launch their new hardware by the end of 2013. But, as we've learned, plans are always subject to change.
Raines also claimed that his company has a direct line with platform holders and is actively advising them on how best to deal with the current generation of machines which, in light of their impending successors, should in theory be in line for a price drop.
"We're constantly in dialog with them, we're certainly going to offer opinions about what we think is the right thing to do," executive marketing VP Mike Hogan added.
"We're not opposed to price cuts. There's a point in time where you'd look at a console and say, 'We support the idea of you taking a price cut, because we'll sell a lot more units.' You have to look at the whole thing as an ecosystem. You might be selling the console for less money, but you're putting it in the hands of more people, and will sell more games. I would say actually, our interests are pretty well aligned with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo when it comes to that.
"The main thing is just communication. What we want to know is when it's going to happen and let people know so they can get the right value. Obviously the person who may have paid full price two weeks ago doesn't feel good if the price cut comes right after."
Of course, don't forget that Sony currently plans to launch a second revision of its PS3 console before Christmas that will retail for less than the current machine.

East Texas Offers Wine Sampling Festival
Texans love a good festival, and especially one that might offer a little buzz!
In ten days, we'll have the chance to see what the fuss is all about over East Texas wines, and do a little shopping and sampling too.
The Pineywoods Wine Festival is set for May 19th, and if you go, you'll not only be able to sample some East Texas wines, you'll also get some pointers on putting together a road trip to all of the best East Texas wineries. How fun would that be? You might need a designated driver if you're going to make an entire road trip of the wine sampling. But it would be a great way to see how Texans get creative with grapes.
The Pineywoods Wine Festival is right off I-30 in Mount Vernon, and they'll be open from 10am to 7pm on the 19th with vendors on hand like Scentsy, The Spicewood Food Company, and Silverleaf Resorts – Texas Travel and Tyler indoor park.
The Festival says The Piney Woods Wine Trail is the second largest in Texas and growing.
We're happy to provide ideas for day-long dates. A good one!

Public Hearing and Public Auditing helps minimize corruption
CARE Nepal and FECOFUN, consortium partners of the Hariyo Ban Program, are very active in strengthening governance of natural resource management (NRM) groups through Participatory Governance Assessment (PGA), Community Learning and Action Centers (CLACs), Participatory Well Being Ranking (PWBR), and PHPA. So far the Hariyo Ban Program has supported 147 NRM groups to conduct PHPAs.
PHPA is a recognized tool that promotes participation to strengthen transparency and accountability in institutions. The public hearing part of PHPA involves a participatory discussion session between a community forest users group's members and its executive committee. Here, information is shared and assessed on managerial activities and outcomes. In the public auditing part, financial transactions and group funds are reviewed.
"PHPA helps to sensitize both general members and the executive committee to fulfill their roles, rights and responsibilities by acting on provisions laid down in their constitution and operation plan. Several issues have been raised during PHPA such as inclusive representation in executive committees, transparency in decision making and financial transactions, allocation of group resources for pro-poor activities and recovery of misappropriated funds in the NRM groups," says Madhav Dhakal, Governance Specialist, Hariyo Ban Program, CARE Nepal. PHPA has acted as an expanded and inclusive negotiated space between empowered citizens and service providers.
Hariyo Ban trains local resource persons to facilitate the PHPA process in community forests. Local resource persons also capacitate NRM groups to conduct PHPA in a strategic manner. One of Hariyo Ban's important cross-cutting themes strengthening internal governance of NRM groups and their networks, is critically important to enhance the role of these groups as custodians of natural resources and ensure equitable benefit sharing amongst the group members, particularly the poorest and most marginalized.

Proposition 37, the ballot measure mandating the labeling of genetically modified food that is also known as the "right to know" initiative, is narrowly running ahead of the opposition, according to the latest opinion polls.
But even if the measure goes down — and it's the target of a $35-million publicity attack by agricultural and food industry interests — the campaign behind it will mark an important milestone in politics: the deployment of weapons-grade junk science.
Of course, ignorance and anti-intellectualism are not new phenomena in our elections, nor in the political processes of other lands, dictatorships and democracies alike. Pseudoscience is part and parcel of corporate advertising in every medium. ("I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.")
But where science is at the heart of a campaign, as it is for Proposition 37, the promotion of manifestly shoddy research is especially shameful. That goes double where multibillion-dollar industries, tens of thousands of jobs, and the health and well-being of millions of consumers are at stake.
