On Sunday, we brought you the story of the MS Balmoral, the luxury cruise liner that is retracing the steps of the Titanic in honor of the 100th anniversary of the original voyage. It seemed like a highly questionable idea from the start, but now comes word that it's already run into difficulties. It departed England Sunday, but was scheduled to pick up passengers yesterday in Ireland before setting sail for America—except as it tried to dock in Cobh, Ireland, the ship was delayed for nearly two hours by 45 mph winds and rough seas. Abort! Abort! Granted, it's not even close to being the same level of disaster that the original ship faced, but it still seems like a miracle that every single passenger didn't attempt to flee the boat once it made it to the dock. Then again, you probably have to be made of extra brave stock to even board a Titanic reenactment cruise in the first place. Despite the ominous delay, the ship was able to pick up its passengers, and now it's sailing off toward its final destination in New York where it should, God willing, arrive on April 19th.

Every year, without fail, my mum whips up a batch of the most delicious marmalade. It arrives in January - the only time of year when the bitter Seville oranges are available - and disappears by about February, spread liberally on as much toast as my household can consume.
Now I'm a mum, I feel it's about time I popped my marmalade cherry, and got my hands sticky in the kitchen too. Besides my own mum, help of another kind is on hand in the form of Marmalade: A Bittersweet Cookbook by Sarah Randell, food director of Sainsbury's Magazine, who's written some lip-smacking recipes for marmalade and what you can do with it - marmalade-glazed bacon sandwiches anyone?
"Marmalade is part of our British culinary psyche, it represents us on breakfast tables all over the world and is something we are, justifiably, very proud of," she says. And according to Randell, our love of marmalade dates back to the 18th century, when it was first made commercially by the Keiller family in Scotland.
"Mrs Keiller and her husband, who was a grocer, took stock of a batch of Seville oranges from a Spanish ship that had to dock unexpectedly on the coast of Dundee. Mrs Keiller set about making them into marmalade and Mr Keiller sold it. Around the same time, home cooks were beginning to experiment with recipes for marmalade-type preserves. But the name marmalade stems from the Portuguese word 'marmelada', which refers to quince paste."
Paddington Bear boosted the preserve's profile in the Fifties with his love for marmalade sandwiches - and now the film's doing just that again, with sales of marmalade up 88% at Waitrose.
"We always had marmalade on the breakfast table at home. We were more of a toast and marmalade family than bacon and eggs, so it has always been part of my life," says Randell. "A few years ago, I was asked to join the judges for The World's Original Marmalade Awards. I was fascinated by the range and variety sent in from around the world, hundreds and hundreds of jars and every one was different. I was hooked."
Her idea of a perfect marmalade is "a bright clear jelly with tender peel suspended evenly in it - the peel should be tender but still have a slight bite".
Her recipe for Classic Seville Orange Marmalade begins with the words, "Put the radio on", so that's just what I do...
But sadly, after two days of prep, I over-boil my concoction at the final stage and end up with a fragrant - but very runny - goo.
It's disappointing after the effort, but it tastes amazing, so I pour it out into my jars and slap on labels reading 'Kate's Runny Marmalade'.
Make your own marmalade while Seville oranges are in town - or just try one of Sarah Randell's recipes using it..
:: Wrinkle Test - For anyone who doesn't know what a 'wrinkle test' is, after your saucer's been in the freezer for about 15 minutes, place a spoonful of marmalade on it. Push your finger through the marmalade on the plate - you're looking for it to wrinkle and not flood back in to fill the gap. If it's not ready, turn the pan back on, simmer for five minutes and test again.
Make your own marmalade
(Makes about 7 x 340g jars)
1kg bitter Seville oranges
Juice of 1 fat lemon
2kg granulated sugar
Put the radio on. Halve the oranges and, using the tip of a knife, flick out any obvious pips on to a double-layered square of gauze (or muslin), about 30 x 30cm. Squeeze the juice from the oranges into a very large bowl (or a large lidded plastic box), add any extra pips from the squeezer to the gauze and add any fleshy bits of orange to the bowl.
Now, cut each orange half into quarters and, using a knife, scrape out the membranes inside - put these and any more pips you find on to the gauze square. The next job is to shred the pithy peel as uniformly as possible into thin, medium or chunky shreds, as you wish; discard the buttons from the ends of the fruit as you go. Transfer the shredded peel to the bowl too.
Gather the gauze square together to form a money-bag shape, twist the top and tie it with string - an extra pair of hands comes in useful here. When you tie the string, leave one long end - you can use this to tie the gauze pouch onto the pan handle and immerse it in the liquid when you cook the peel.
Put the pouch into the bowl to join the peel and juice. Add 2.25 litres of cold water, making sure everything is as immersed in the water as it can be, then cover with cling film (or a lid) and leave it overnight. I usually put the bowl in the cellar or garage.
The next day, tip everything from the bowl into a preserving pan and tie the gauze pouch to the pan handle so it sits on the base of the pan. Bring the whole lot to simmering point over a low-medium heat and simmer the peel until it is really soft - you should be able to squish it easily in your fingers; this will take about one-and-a-half hours. The liquid will reduce as the peel simmers, and you will see a tidemark around the inside of the pan.
Once the peel is soft enough, remove the gauze pouch from the pan, pressing it against the side with the back of a wooden spoon as you do so, to extract as much pectin as possible from the pith and pips - put the pouch into a bowl and leave it for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, halve and squeeze the lemon and tip the lemon juice into the pan with the sugar; stir over a low heat. Give the gauze pouch a final squeeze to extract the last of the pectin into the marmalade; wearing clean washing-up gloves makes this easier. You can now discard the pouch, as its work is done.
Preheat the oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Keep stirring the marmalade from time to time to help dissolve the sugar. This is an important stage, so make sure all the sugar has dissolved before you move on to the next; it can take 15 minutes or so. I find that any pips I have missed usually pop to the surface at this point; scoop them out with a teaspoon. Put a few saucers in the freezer for the wrinkle test (see below) and put your jars and lids in the oven for 15-20 minutes to sterilise.
Now, bring the marmalade up to a rolling boil and boil it for 20-25 minutes or until it has reached setting point (use the wrinkle test). When the marmalade is ready, take the pan off the heat. Leave to settle for 15 minutes; this will help to distribute the peel evenly and make it less hazardous to pot. Give it a gentle stir in one direction to disperse any air bubbles.
Using a measuring jug and a funnel, transfer your marmalade into hot sterilised jars. Seal and leave the marmalade to cool completely. Give the jars a second wipe over with a hot cloth and dry them before labelling. Store the jars of golden marmalade in a dry, cool place, where it will keep for at least a year.

Not being an English native speaker, I find there are many words I pronounce differently from how an anglophone would (and differently from the phonetics prescribed in typical dictionaries). However, what confuses me is that my anglophone friends cannot understand me at all, even when there is only a slight change in pronunciation; the only solution has been to spell out the word.
Does mispronunciation of a word really make it that unintelligible?

text: Given an arbitrary arc, where you know the following values: start point $(x_0, y_0)$, end point $(x_1, y_1)$, radius ($r$) and arc direction (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise from start to end), how can I calculate the arc's center? I know from this previous post (thanks!) that the center lies on the perpendicular bisector between the two points, but don't know how to calculate it.

Rupert Murdoch, Bill Clinton Attend Steve Jobs Memorial Service
A memorial held for Steve Jobs yesterday at Stanford University attracted a bunch of big names, including News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch, with whom Jobs was slated to unveil the Daily iPad newspaper, before he took his leave of absence.
According to the Times, other guests included:
Larry Ellison, Oracle's chief executive; Bill Gates, Microsoft's co-founder; and Michael Dell, Dell's chief executive, were among the guests who attended a private service at Stanford's Memorial Church, according to a person with knowledge of the event. Bono, the U2 lead singer, and the folk singer Joan Baez, who once dated Mr. Jobs, were also there, as was John Lasseter, who worked with Mr. Jobs at Pixar, the animation studio that Mr. Jobs developed and later sold to Walt Disney.
California has named October 16th Steve Jobs day, so mark your calendars.

text: Roger Schreiver Posted August 24, 2005 As we go through life we come across people who are rich, handsome, intelligent, powerful and successful in every way. And then we see others who are so poor and defenceless that their life is an endless series of failures. What is the reason for such differences in their circumstances? Many people are outraged by what they think of as the injustice of fate. If you ask a scientist to explain these inequalities he will say that it is a question of chance. And if you ask a priest or a pastor he will tell you that it is the will of God. Some might talk about predestination and grace, but that only adds to the injustice! In any case, to say that "it is the will of God" is almost the same thing as saying that "it is a question of chance". If we analyse the priest's answer we are forced to conclude that God gives everything to some and nothing to others. We don't know why; that's just the way it is. But that's not all: it seems that He gets very angry when those to whom He has given nothing good, either in themselves or in their circumstances, turn out to be vicious and stupid and commit crimes. He even punishes them! Since God is almighty He could have made all His creatures magnificent, but He didn't. So not only is it His fault if men commit crimes but He then punishes them for their crimes. No wonder so many people have a horror of religion! The truth is that there is a very good reason for all the apparent injustices of life, and that is the law of reincarnation. The Church has never realized that, by denying this law, it was portraying the Lord as a monster of cruelty. The explanation is simple: at the beginning God gave us everything. But He also gave us freedom, and we have used that freedom to indulge in some very costly experiences. Of course, the Lord sees all this but as He is generous and patient He lets us work things out for ourselves. He says, "My poor children are going to suffer and run into trouble, but that doesn't matter: all my love and wealth is there, waiting for them. They have plenty of reincarnations ahead of them in which to learn wisdom." In other words, God lets us exercise our freedom, and all the bad things that happen to us happen through our own fault: we have deserved them. And we have also deserved all the good things that happen to us: they are the results of our efforts in previous incarnations. Why does the Church put all the blame on God for what happens to us? Perhaps you will object, "The Church doesn't blame God; it has simply suppressed the belief in reincarnation." Yes, but if you think about it, you will see that it amounts to the same thing. And it is very serious, because the knowledge about this law of reincarnation is one of the cornerstones of morality. As long as people are unaware of the law of cause and effect which carries over from one incarnation to the next, no amount of preaching or sermonizing will do any good. They won't change. And not only will they refuse to change but, seeing themselves as the victims of social injustice, they will rebel against their fate and become more and more jealous and full of hate for those who seem to be more privileged, with the result that their situation will be even more complicated. But someone who knows that all the difficulties and hardships of this life are the result of his past transgressions will not only accept them as just but will also make up his mind to work for good so as to enjoy better conditions in his future incarnations.

Sharks keep hold on TV viewers' attention
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The popularity of "Sharknado" may have had a splash-over effect on Discovery Channel's Shark Week, which the channel said debuted with its highest-rated night ever in 27 years of telecasts.
More than 3.6 million prime-time viewers tuned in Sunday for a line-up that included "Air Jaws: Fins of Fury," according to Nielsen company figures Tuesday.
Viewers' appetites appear to have been whetted by SyFy's July airing of the campy "Sharknado 2: The Second One" — or maybe it's the other way around, Discovery Channel president and general manager Eileen Neill said.
Shark Week has been posting record numbers the last few years, said O'Neill, adding, "it's fair to say that the success of Shark Week may have inspired SyFy to get in on the shark frenzy, and happy to see the shark celebration getting bigger."
Shark Week enjoyed a social media bounce as well, with two of its Sunday shows making Nielsen's top 10 list of the most-tweeted about programs for the week of Aug. 4-10.
Live programming continued to prove a top summer TV attraction, with three episodes of "America's Got Talent" ranking among the most-watched shows, while country music was a draw with the CMA Music Festival
CBS averaged 5.8 million viewers for the week in prime time. NBC averaged 4.7 million, ABC had 4.3 million, Univision had 3.3 million, Fox had 2.3 million, Telemundo had 1.2 million and ION Television had 1.2 million.
Among cable networks, USA averaged 2 million viewers in prime time, followed by TNT with 1.9 million and Disney Channel with 1.8 million. Fox News Channel had 1.8 million and History 1.7 million.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.5 million viewers. ABC's "World News" was second with 7 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6 million viewers.
For the week of Aug. 4-10, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday, 9 p.m.), NBC, 10.1 million; "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 9 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 8.2 million; "NCIS," CBS, 7.9 million; CMA Music Festival, ABC, 7.3 million; "Under the Dome," CBS, 6.8 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 6.5 million; "Big Brother" (Wednesday), CBS, 6.5 million; "Big Brother" (Thursday), CBS, 6.1 million; "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday, 8 p.m.), NBC, 6.1 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

PARIS —France's suddenly single president arrives Monday in the U.S. for a state visit, hoping the glaring absence of his first lady won't steal the limelight from his focus on major policy issues with President Barack Obama.
Francois Hollande, a bespectacled 59-year-old former Socialist party boss, will be highlighting France's shared interests with Washington on issues like Syria's civil war, Iran's nuclear program and terrorism in Africa.
First, he may need to get past the snickers: Hollande drew headlines and ridicule worldwide last month after a gossip magazine reported that he had zipped through Paris in a face-covering helmet on a motor scooter for a tryst with French actress Julie Gayet — unbeknownst to his first lady.
He has since split with Valerie Trierweiler, his partner of several years, who won't be at the state dinner. She's now reportedly vacationing on a balmy Indian Ocean island. The French have largely shrugged off the reported affair as a private matter, even if they too have devoured the story on the airwaves and in print.
But Hollande's political headaches are worse. Polls suggest his popularity is at historic lows. One last week found that fewer than one in five French trust his leadership. His 20-month mantra about job-creation and economic growth has produced few results.
The embattled Socialist leader will be able to bask in some symbolic glow: Obama is still widely liked in France, and Hollande will get the grand reception reserved for America's closest allies.
He and Obama will hold a news conference on Tuesday, and visit Arlington National Cemetery — in this 70th-anniversary year of the Allied landings in Normandy during World War II.
The state dinner not be Obama's first with a dose of drama. One in 2009 was marred by a pair of party crashers. Another was canceled last year when Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff scrapped her trip to Washington to protest the National Security Agency spying.
France may be America's oldest ally, but the relationship has grown complex (remember "Freedom Fries"?). France, a nuclear-armed power with a U.N. Security Council veto, has recently had stronger U.S. ties on defense and diplomacy than on economic and national-security issues.
Hollande showed early pique about spying revelations from Edward Snowden, though he has not dwelled on the controversy. His government wants uniform taxation on Internet companies — many U.S.-based — that skirt high European taxes in places like France, and insists a U.S.-European trade deal in the works must help protect French cultural offerings from Hollywood's behemoth.
Overall, ties are good.
"A decade ago, few would have imagined our two countries working so closely together in so many ways. But in recent years our alliance has transformed," Obama and Hollande wrote in a joint column published Monday in the Washington Post and Le Monde, apparently alluding to trans-Atlantic tensions over the Iraq war.
The two leaders noted that now, after France's return to NATO's military command in 2009, "we have been able to take our alliance to a new level because our interests and values are so closely aligned."
With the United States focusing on pulling combat forces from Afghanistan, a message from France will be: We got your back, such as in Africa — where French troops took the lead in fighting jihadists in Mali and are trying with African partners to end Muslim-Christian violence in Central African Republic. The U.S. has provided airlift, intelligence and other support.
Despite minor disagreements, France is mostly shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. in diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and ending Syria's three-year civil war.
Analyst Laurence Nardon said France felt "quite hurt" when it backed the prospect of U.S.-led air strikes in Syria in September, only to see Obama shelve the idea.
"Now the line from Hollande is going to be: France is doubtlessly the most active ally of the United States these days to try to maintain stability in the world," said Nardon, head of the U.S. program at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris. "I think he's going to talk a lot about that — with the implication of: 'Isn't it about time that you recognize that France is your No. 1 ally right now?'"
Since taking office, Hollande's priority has been to right France's listing economy. He'll look to hold up free-market America as an example of economic recovery, to counter a grumbling leftist political base irked with his business-friendly overtures. Certainly the two countries' unemployment rates are starkly different, with the U.S. reporting 6.6 percent and France staying above 10 percent for two years.
He will travel to San Francisco and meet with chiefs of Silicon Valley giants including Facebook, Twitter, and Google, whose home page in France was required over the weekend to prominently display a notice about the fine it received for violating national privacy laws.
In the meantime, symbolism: a visit to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate in Virginia. The former president, a one-time envoy to France who is honored with a statue on Paris' Seine River, modeled his design for the Virginia Capitol in Richmond after an ancient Roman temple in southeastern Nimes, which he once gazed at "like a lover at his mistress."
Hollande surely isn't looking forward to any allusions to mistresses, but will be prepared.
"President Hollande is super clever in getting out of embarrassing situations with a little joke," said Nardon, who had Hollande as a lecturer at Paris' respected Sciences-Po university years ago. "He has surely got a script ready, when somebody asks him 'Mr. President, I see you're alone …'"
Won't the affair distract from Hollande's real business?
"Bof!" Nardon said, using an interjection that often accompanies a Gallic shrug. "I'm perhaps too French, but I don't think it's too important."

Martin: FCC To Investigate Comcast Data Discrimination
Kevin Martin is raining on Comcast's CES parade.
On the same day Comcast CEO Brian Roberts gave the first ever CES keynote by a cable chief (with the Flight of the Conchords in tow, no less), the FCC chairman said at a separate CES panel that the commission would be investigating whether Comcast was involved in data discrimination.
"Sure, we're going to investigate and make sure that no consumer is going to be blocked," Martin was quoted as saying.
In October, AP conducted a test that it said proved Comcast was blocking access to peer-to-peer networks; an experiment that was later replicated and confirmed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Comcast accused AP and EFF of using too narrow a focus with its tests. The cable provider admitted to "delaying" certain P2P traffic, but denied that it was blocking access to any content.
Two months ago, the SavetheInternet.com coalition and several academics filed a complaint with the FCC calling on the commission to stop Comcast from violating customer rights.
A source within the FCC confirmed that the quote from Martin was accurate, but said that the FCC did not make any official announcement today about its plans regarding the Comcast complaint.
"We believe our practices are in accordance with the FCC's policy statement on the Internet," David L. Cohen, executive vice presiden for Comcast, said in a statement. "Comcast plans to work with the Commission in its desire to bring more transparency for consumers regarding broadband network management."
The interest groups who filed the complaint were predictably pleased.
"We hope the Chairman's statements, made two months after we filed our complaint, will lead to immediate and accelerated action at the FCC on the critical issue of whether Comcast, AT&T and other Internet service providers can block the services people want to use," Marvin Ammori, general counsel of Free Press, said in a statement.
Earlier today, Roberts took to the keynote stage to announced plans for increased HD on-demand channels, increased network speed, and an online video service called Fancast that provides access to Comcast's movie and TV library, but also allows subscribers to program their DVRs and on-demand needs from their computer.
"American Idol" Ryan Seacrest joined Roberts onstage (above) to introduce Fancast, and many a joke about his height and cameo in "Knocked Up" soon followed.
To its credit, Comcast did close the show with a hilarious appearance from Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement of HBO's "Flight of the Conchords," who performed "Business Time" for an amused consumer electronics crowd.

It's been nearly three decades since a ski resort operated on Pikes Peak, the iconic mountain that sits west of Colorado Springs.
In recent years, through, efforts were made to resurrect skiing on the 14er that served as the inspiration for "America the Beautiful."
At the center of those plans were Harvey T. Carter, a climbing legend who owned 320 acres on the west side of the peak, and John C. Ball, a Boulder County telecommunications executive and avid skier. After the two struck up conversations about partnering on a ski resort development, Ball established a limited liability company in 2007 and pulled together a business plan to draw the interest of investors in hopes of raising $50 million.
Yet in the five years since the founding of The Resort at Pikes Peak LLC, those development dreams have not had the smoothest of runs.
"It's two steps forward, one step back," said Scott V. Brown, a longtime Telluride businessman and director of The Resort at Pikes Peak.
In addition to the broader financial crisis, which limited investment options, The Resort at Pikes Peak received — and eventually settled — a cease-and-desist order from Colorado's securities division, and the 320 acres became the subject of legal disputes and foreclosure after Carter's death this past spring.
And last month, The Resort at Pikes Peak filed for Chapter 11 protection.
Despite the obstacles, Brown and Ball said they believe The Resort at Pikes Peak has its best opportunity yet to succeed.
"(The Chapter 11) gives us the timeout we need to sort everything out," said Ball, The Resort at Pikes Peak's CEO, in a recent interview with the Camera.
Following a dream
If the ski resort is to move forward as envisioned, Ball said, it will serve as a more affordable option for locals and a place where children could learn to ski.
"We will be the farm team, if you will, for the Summit County resorts," he said.
Ball said the resort would be small in comparison to its larger brethren to the northwest and be built in harmony with nature and operated in an eco-friendly manner. Ball, who is of Native American descent, said he also has the backing of Kenny Frost, a Southern Ute elder, who blessed the land.
"We want to appreciate the land," Ball said. "We don't want to pave over it."
Most importantly, he added, the resort would realize the dreams of Carter, who passed away March 13 at the age of 81 after a battle with cancer.
Ball became inspired after seeing that Carter hand-cut six runs on his property.
"I realized this was like mountain climbing for him," Ball said of Carter, who founded Climbing magazine and is rumored to have made 5,000 first ascents.
When Ball and Carter proposed the idea of a ski resort on Pikes Peak, it stirred concern among some, including members of the Pikes Peak Sierra Club.
The primary concerns from the Sierra Club's standpoint came in the areas of water and road access.
"Pikes Peak's a dry mountain by Colorado standards," said Jim Lockhart, the conservation chair of the Pikes Peak chapter. "Right now, it's de facto wilderness back there. It would make a big change and we'd be concerned about that."
Bumpy road
In early 2008, Ball and Carter reached a $4 million sale agreement for the 320 acres, but the contract eventually expired.
State securities regulators later alleged that the contract was extended and subsequently terminated after Ball failed to make the $2,500 monthly payments to Carter as part of the extension's requirements.
Those claims came as part of a cease-and-desist order filed in 2010 by the state against Ball. Regulators alleged his company violated state law by offering securities via the skipikespeak.com website and for failing to disclose the risks associated with such an investment.
The website has been inactive since the cease-and-desist order was filed.
A consent agreement was reached later that year. Ball declined to comment on the case, citing stipulations in that order.
Gerald Rome, Colorado's deputy securities commissioner, said an investigation remains "ongoing" in regards to the Resort at Pikes Peak. He declined to comment further.
Late last year, Carter and Ball resumed discussions. Carter wanted to move forward on the sale because of his health, Ball said.
In November 2011, the two commenced a quiet title action in which Carter transferred the 320 acres — consisting of 300 acres in Cripple Creek and a 20-acre parcel of vacant land in neighboring Divide — to The Resort of Pikes Peak for a 44 percent stake in the LLC, according to Teller County property and court records.
A second quitclaim deed was signed and eventually notarized because of an incorrect legal description, according to Teller County court records.
Just weeks after the sale went through, Ball and the Resort at Pikes Peak found themselves defendants in a civil case in Teller County District Court.
The plaintiff: Harvey T. Carter.
Legal woes
A month after Carter's passing, the complaint was amended to include allegations from Carter's son, Scott, who — acting in the interest of his father's estate — claimed that the property sale took place because of "deception," according to court records.
Harvey Carter was "in the final stages of cancer on the dates the two quitclaim deeds were allegedly executed," his estate claimed in the filing. "As such, pain medication was being administered. Upon information and belief, the pain medication affected his cognitive ability such that he was not capable of understanding the nature of the transaction at the time he allegedly signed the deeds."
Additionally, the elder Carter's longtime attorney was not present during these discussions, the estate alleged.
Ball and The Resort at Pikes Peak denied the allegations and filed a counterclaim against the estate alleging breach of contract.
The legal fray grew even more tangled when RWBB LLC, an entity of a former lender of Harvey Carter's, filed a complaint against the estate seeking repayment of the more than $969,000 outstanding on a promissory note. RWBB LLC, an entity of Buck Blessing, also sought to foreclose on the properties.
A day before the foreclosure sale was set to take place last month, The Resort at Pikes Peak LLC filed for Chapter 11.
"That by itself is fairly common (to stop a foreclosure)," said Bradford E. Dempsey, a partner with Faegre Baker Daniels' office in Denver. "It gives the debtor some breathing room to reorganize."
The Chapter 11 proceedings put a halt to the other civil proceedings, but creditors could choose to file a motion for relief from the stay or to dismiss the proceedings entirely, he said.
Generally, the debtor will have 180 days to file its plan of reorganization; however, the timing could be dependent on a variety of factors including whether the firm lands some debtor-in-possession financing.
"Since this was filed on the eve of foreclosure, I would suspect their current lender is not a viable resource for debtor-in-possession funding," Dempsey said after reviewing the bankruptcy court documents. "If they're out there in the market looking around, I would say it's a very tough market right now for that type (of financing)."
Ball and Brown said they remain optimistic that the Resort at Pikes Peak will be able come out of Chapter 11 reorganized and in receipt of investment to bring the resort — which they claim could be an economic boon for Colorado Springs and neighboring mountain towns — to life.
"This deal should happen," Brown said. "Colorado Springs deserves to have a ski resort."

Firebrand's accelerated CCNA training course offers you access to more equipment.
Typically, CCNA training providers and the equipment made available can vary greatly. Often, you'll only be given access to remote labs and never see the actual equipment, only doing exercises based on a connection to a rack of equipment "somewhere"…
At Firebrand we do things differently. We believe that in your first exposure to Cisco you should see, feel, and touch the kit. You need to get hands on practitcal experience to know about interfaces and ports, but not by seeing a PowerPoint slide or a diagram, rather by actually connecting cables to the router or switch.
You'll work in pairs and share a "pod" of equipment located in a rack. You have your own 2811 router and 2960 switch, access to additional equipment such as a Frame-Relay switch, along with additional routers and switches should you wish to tinker.
The equipment we supply, alongside 24 hour lab access, gives you the tools to prepare you both for the CCNA exams, and more importantly, the real world.
CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE Routing and Switching certifications have received Gold certification from the IPv6 Forum's Education Certification Program. This means that students who gain these certifications can display the IPv6 logo, demonstrating that they have attained IPv6 knowledge and skills. The IPv6 Forum is a worldwide consortium of leading Internet vendors, Industry Subject Matter Experts, Research & Education Networks, with the mission to advocate the adoption of IPv6 technology.
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a Certification Guarantee.

"Staff at the training center are really helpful, attentive and polite. If there is any assistance you need, they'll be there for you.
My instructor, was exceptionally knowledgeable and I felt really comfortable that he was teaching the course.
Normally, I like using practice exams to make sure the knowledge is sticking in my brain. On this course, however, I didn't feel the need to use practice exams.
It was the way the instructor taught the class (recapping throughout the course) that made me feel like my brain will retain the information better.
There was a lot of information being pushed into my head though, that I became really nervous before the exam and one of the staff member's reassured me that there was nothing to worry about and that I would do well. He calmed me down and I was ready to take the exam.
I passed and felt over the mooon!
Also, the new parasols that are up at the front of the training center makes the area much more colourful. I'm loving the red!"

N.M, Greenlight Computers. - Cisco ICND1 (CCENT) (4 days) (7/3/2016 to 9/3/2016)
"The instructor was very knowledgeable and covered the course content fully, showing good examples to ensure we understood. The course material was very in-depth and difficult to retain if you don't already have some basic knowledge and understanding. Cramming this course into two days with training running through until late evening meant you concentrated solely on the course. Don't come to this course thinking you will have time in the evenings to relax, you wont have the time. "

"The 3 days were very intensive, and require full attention and focus to benefit the most. Personally I would advise, particularly for this course, to already have Cisco experience, as the content you cover in the 3 days is extensive and if you do not have good basic networking understanding, with some Cisco knowledge, you will fall behind.

In first statement since their release, 5 Taliban say they'll adhere to conditions
Five Taliban leaders freed from Guantanamo Bay under a prisoner swap deal with the United States said Friday in their first statement since arriving in Qatar that they would remain "loyal" to the conditions Qatar has set for their release.
But the statement gave no information on what those conditions were or whether there are any limitations on their freedom of movement inside Qatar. U.S. officials have said they include a one-year ban on their travel from Qatar.
"We want to assure all stakeholders that we are steadfast and loyal to the agreement between the Islamic Emirate and State of Qatar that was made specifically for our release (from Guantanamo Bay)," they said. The Islamic Emirate is what the Taliban call their government.
"We are grateful to the State of Qatar, which made sincere efforts for our release and hosted us," said the statement, which was released just after the Friday prayers in Qatar.
The message was released in Urdu, a language most Taliban leaders speak well for having studied in religious schools in Pakistan.
The statement closely tracked the contents of a Pashto-language video that the Taliban released Wednesday providing details of the exchange for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. The five thanked God, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban's advisory council and the Taliban political office in Doha for working for their freedom. Three of the men had been incarcerated at Guantanamo since the detention center opened Jan. 11, 2002. The other two arrived later that year.
"Also, we want to thank the people and all Muslims, especially those who tried to get us released or prayed for our release or expressed happiness at our release. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts," the statement said.
The five released Taliban leaders are: Mohamed Fazl Akhund, the former chief of staff of the Taliban army; Noorulallah Noori, who was head of the Taliban administration of Afghanistan's northern zone and the governor of Balkh province; Khairullah Khairkhuwa, former minister of interior and said to be a founding member of the Taliban; Abdul Haq Wasiq, former deputy chief of the Taliban intelligence agency; and Maulvi Mohamed Nabi Omari, who was a commander of a border patrol unit during the years the Taliban ruled Afghanistan.
Their release set off a storm of protest in the United States from some members of Congress, angry that the Obama administration did not follow U.S. law and provide 30 days notice of its plans to transfer them from Guantanamo.

Let's take a look at the seats you might want to take a look at tomorrow night
It's MMP and it's all about the party vote, of course. But this election a bunch of electorate seats actually look really interesting. And it's not just the obvious ones.
The stand-out two are Epsom and Ohariu because entire parties - and coalition partners for National - depend on them. Can ACT and United Future, respectively, stay alive?
Five of the seven Maori seats have some uncertainty about them. Harawira's probably safe in Tai Tokerau, but you can't be 100% sure. Morgan's outlined his thoughts here, and he knows better than me.
Hamilton West used to be the great weather vane seat - and it may still be, inasmuch as Tim McIndoe should hold off Sue Moroney.
Can Andrew Little win New Plymouth against Mr Invisible, Jonathan Young? If he can't he becomes another able List MP, but hardly a leader-in-waiting. He'd have to start again.
Clayton Cosgrove is at real risk in Waimakariri. He's high enough on Labour's list, at eight, to get back regardless. But then so's Kate Wilkinson. A blow to Labour if he can't hold it, it's a tale of two towns - quake-ravaged Kaiapoi and the un-hit refugee haven of Rangiora.
And what about Palmerston North? Can Labour hold it's one remaining seat outside the four main centres? It used to be Steve Maharey's and Trevor de Cleene's before that, so should be safe. But the provinces have turned to the right. Can the Massey University vote stop that?
And while we're in the lower North Island, there's Otaki. Nathan Guy beat Darren Hughes by a little over 1,000 votes last time. Hughes is gone and Peter Foster is now running. I'm not sure of local issues, but given that National has the swing, Guy has a future and National won the party vote by over 3,000 last time, you'd assume it would be a hold.
Auckland Central will get a lot of attention. Two young women who have worked their socks off. Nikki Kaye has the swing to National at her back, but how big was the anti-Judith Tizard vote last time? If it swung in behind Jacinda Ardern...
The West Coast sees Damien O'Connor fighting for his life. Chris Auchinvole should be safe on National's list, whereas O'Connor rejected a list spot, saying 'electorate MP or die'. His work in the community post-Pike River will give him a boost, but is it enough when pitted against such a popular National party?
Chris Hipkins has impressed as an MP, but faces a battle in Rimutaka given his majority of only 753. National's Jonathan Fletcher is running hard, but the promise of public sector cuts in a commuter seat full of public servants could keep Hipkins happy.
If the tide's really going out for Labour, check out Te Atatu. Phil Twyford should win it, but he needs to given his low list ranking. That may actually help him, because he's up against National's Tau Henare, so I'm sure Twyford is telling everyone Henare will get in anyway. But if the electorate reallyturns on Labour, Twyford could be washed away.
The same might be said of Mana. The seat, that is. Kris Faafoi should be sweet in a safe Labour seat. But the Energiser bunny that is Hekia Parata really wants to win and has the wind behind her.
There's Waitakere of course. A minister such as Paula Bennett should be honky dory, but she's not as popular as her image suggests. Her cutting the TIA that allowed her to climb the ladder of success plays terribly with women voters, especially in the middle class. She should do the business, especially with Sue Bradford stealing a portion of the left-wing vote. But Carmel Sepuloni is only 24th on Labour's list and could be a goner if she can't take the seat, so will presumably have given it her all.
Rodney will be interesting. Colin Craig won't win, but will be build enough support to earn a cup of tea from John Key in three years?

5-Year B.A./M.A. Program
The 5-Year B.A./M.A. program is designed for students who wish to enhance their undergraduate major in Chinese or Japanese with graduate training at the M.A. level in the department. Students concurrently pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese or Japanese and a Master of Arts in Asian Studies. These degrees already exist as separate entities, the B.A. normally requiring four years and the M.A. normally requiring two years. Students pursuing this dual degree should plan on taking one year of study abroad during their junior year in their country of specialization. While on the study abroad program students will need to apply to the graduate program, following the same procedures as students not currently enrolled in the University.
Applicants must submit an online application along with the $60 application fee and deliver hard copies of these documents to the department:
- 2 official transcripts
- 3 letters of recommendation
- GRE scores (taken while on EAP or immediately upon return)
- Statement of purpose
- Writing sample
The application is the only document that must be submitted while overseas; the rest should be submitted as soon as possible after the student returns to the States. A consultation with the undergraduate advisor is advised before starting this program so that class planning can be coordinated to meet the 5 year goal. Students can apply for graduate fellowships and teaching assistant positions after B.A. course work has been completed in their 4th year.
All majors include coursework in East Asian cultural studies (involving one or more East Asian countries). For courses associated with each major, see the Course Catalog.

If she moves, will the British Government forget her? Of course it will. She no longer exists. She may still get the Winter Fuel Allowance, but the British Government only grants it because the Euro Commission told it that it should. She is therefore fortunate. But she is still subject to the variations in the value of the £, and any other financial restriction that the British Government could place on her.
She is better off than a friend I know – Rosemary. She retired to France 20 years ago and is now in her late eighties. She came because her daughter lives in France. Her daughter is middle aged, without any income. Now they live together on the reduced pensions Rosemary has from a shortened teaching career (as do many women who have been mothers) and the reduced old age pension. She does not get the Winter Fuel Allowance because she left England more than fifteen years ago.
Why oh why does the British Government treat Europe as some distant alien land? The ladies above are doing what their predecessors would have done in the 1930's, Then they would have moved to Cornwall, the Dorset Coast or indeed Ramsgate from where the first lady is migrating.
The British Government should treat its pensioners identically wherever they live in Europe. This age group of more than 75 years old was born in the depression, suffered the bombing of War, served in the services or National Service, suffered the austerity of post war England, were teenagers before teenager culture existed, and now just because they choose to take the opportunity to spend their last years in the culture of Europe, their Government in Britain treats them as second class citizens.
Then because they either cannot exercise a vote or if they can the voting system offered is a useless sop to democracy, they are ignored, and dare one say despised.

The City of Portland will soon operate day shelter services at the Oxford Street Shelter on a temporary basis until the planning for a new one-story shelter with on-site services is approved and the new shelter is operational. This means that the shelter will now remain open 24/7 so that clients do not have to leave during the day. The City will purchase lockers for clients and add additional portable bathrooms next to the shelter in order to operate a day shelter program.
"The staff at the Oxford Street Shelter go above and beyond in providing emergency shelter services. We're changing our operations to address a critical need in our city. For too long, clients have had to leave each morning," said City Manager Jon Jennings. "Our goal is to provide our most vulnerable citizens with the option to remain in a safe place during the day with their belongings, which will improve their quality of life as well as the downtown area and surrounding community."
"I'm extremely grateful to the City Manager and his staff for their hard work on this as we knew we couldn't wait for the new facility to be constructed to begin providing shelter guests respite during daytime hours," said Councilor Belinda Ray, Chair of the Health & Human Services Committee. "We know this isn't a perfect solution, but it will go a long way toward improving the quality of life for our shelter guests and the surrounding community."
Operating a day shelter at Oxford Street will not replace the need for a new shelter. The current facility on Oxford Street is leased, poorly configured, and expensive to staff given its layout. A new one-story shelter would allow the City to reduce staffing costs and provide meals on-site as well as a wide range of mental and health services to assist clients in getting back on a path to self-sufficiency. The City Council's Health & Human Services Committee is in the process of evaluating the plans and location for a new shelter and shelter services. The Committee next meets on Tuesday, October 24 where it will discuss an update on the shelter planning process.
Operating the day shelter for the remainder of the fiscal year will cost the City roughly $340,000 in staffing and operating expenditures. The City is able to undertake the operation of a day shelter at this time because of salary savings over the last year. Future funding will be incorporated into the City Manager's recommended FY19 budget and reviewed by the Council for approval.
Included in the staffing costs of a day shelter program is the funding for an additional outreach worker to be hired to assist clients with housing resources and to encourage vulnerable and hard-to-reach people to utilize shelter services.

Fishing boats in Gaza
Fishermen around the Gaza City Wharf area.
Since January 2009, the government of Israel has restricted Palestinian fishing boats to three nautical miles from Gaza's coast, blocking access to around 85 percent of Palestinian fishing water.
For the enterprising fisherman, venturing further out in search of bigger fish is a risky business: the fishing limit is enforced by live fire.
Now fishermen have been allowed to fish up to six nautical miles from Gaza's coastline after a cease-fire deal was reached between Israel and Hamas on 21 November. A relief for many – but with no formal agreement to increase the limit, those who rely on the income they earn from a daily catch are worried about how long the new limit will last.
