Judge tosses out lawsuit against firearms law
HARTFORD -- A federal judge has dismissed a gun industry group lawsuit challenging a wide-ranging firearms law passed by Connecticut in response to the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven ruled Monday that the Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc. does not have legal standing to challenge how the legislature and governor approved the law in April.
The foundation sued Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, legislative leaders and other officials in July, claiming the "emergency" legislation was approved illegally without proper public input, without time for adequate review by lawmakers and without an explanation of why the usual legislative process needed to be bypassed.
The law, which expanded a ban on assault weapons and prohibits large-capacity ammunition magazines, still faces other legal challenges by gun rights advocates.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is considering whether to appeal Hall's ruling to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, said Lawrence Keane, the foundation's senior vice president and general counsel.
"We're obviously disappointed," Keane said Tuesday. "The legislature voted on a 139-page bill that they never read, and we were denied our First Amendment right to advocate for changes in the actual bill that was voted on."
The nonprofit foundation represents the interests of more than 9,500 federally licensed firearms manufacturers, distributors and retailers, as well as companies that manufacture, distribute and sell shooting and hunting-related goods and services. More than 200 of its members are in Connecticut. It also represents sportsmen's associations, gun clubs and shooting ranges.
Hall, citing legal precedent, ruled that although foundation members may have been harmed financially by the law, there is no "logical nexus" between that harm and the lawsuit's allegations.
"That injury, however, does not make NSSF -- or any other member of the public aggrieved only incidentally by procedurally defective legislation -- into a proper party to challenge the defects in legislative process," Hall wrote. "Gun control legislation passed without the alleged procedural defects would result in identical injuries."
The office of state Attorney General George Jepsen released a statement calling the measures "entirely appropriate and lawful -- both procedurally and substantively." The office pledged to continue defending the legislation.
Connecticut's bill originally stemmed from a legislative task force charged with reviewing the state's gun laws, mental health care and school security following the Dec. 14 school shooting that left 20 first graders and six educators dead. Those recommendations were passed onto the top leaders of the General Assembly, both Democrats and Republicans, who ultimately crafted a compromise bill behind closed doors that was approved on bipartisan votes by the House and Senate and signed by Malloy.
The bill was designated as "emergency certified" and therefore bypassed public hearings and committee votes.

Requested by PR#45030. fetchmail-6.3.20 (released 2011-06-06, 26005 LoC): # SECURITY BUG FIXES * CVE-2011-1947: STARTTLS: Fetchmail runs the IMAP STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the set timeout (default five minutes) now. This was reported missing, with observed fetchmail freezes beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch. SSL-wrapped connections were unaffected by this timeout, so users of older versions can force ssl-wrapped connections -- if supported by the server -- with the --ssl command line or ssl rcfile option. See fetchmail-SA-2011-01.txt for further details. # BUG FIXES * IMAP: Do not search for UNSEEN messages in ranges. Usually, there are very few new messages and most of the range searches result in nothing. Instead, split the long response to make the IMAP driver think that there are multiple lines of response. (Sunil Shetye) * Do not print "skipping message" for old messages even in verbose mode. If there are too many old messages, the logs just get filled without any real activity. (Sunil Shetye) (suggested by Yunfan Jiang) * Build: fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation rather than trying to find a system library with matched header. The library and header variants found on systems are too diverse, and the code size saving is not worth any more wasted user or programmer time. # CHANGES * Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line. (Sunil Shetye) * fetchmail sets Internet domain sockets to "keepalive" mode now. Note that there is no portable way to configure actual timeouts for this mode, and some systems only support a system-wide timeout setting. fetchmail does not attempt to tune the time spans of keepalive mode. # TRANSLATION UPDATES [cs] Chech (Petr Pisar) [nl] Dutch (Erwin Poeze) [fr] French (Frédéric Marchal) [de] German (Matthias Andree) [ja] Japanese (Takeshi Hamasaki) [pl] Polish (Jakub Bogusz) [sk] Slovak (Marcel Telka) # KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS (this section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while) * fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well (See sourceforge.net bug #780933) * BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output. * Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in 64-bit mode. Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit fetchmail. Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code, so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties. * fetchmail does not track pending deletes over crashes. * the command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance, fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running. * Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured. (No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.) * Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5 server to test against. Use GSSAPI. fetchmail-6.3.19 (released 2010-12-10, 25945 LoC): # ERRATUM NOTICE ISSUED * fetchmail 6.3.18 contains several bug fixes that were considered sufficiently grave to warrant the issue of an erratum notice, fetchmail-EN-2010-03.txt. # BUG FIXES * When specifying multiple local multidrop lists, do not lose wildcard flag. (Affects "user foo is bar baz * is joe here") * In multidrop configurations, an asterisk can now appear anywhere in the list of local users, not just at the end. * In multidrop mode, header parsing is now more verbose in -vv mode, so that it becomes possible to see which header is used. * Make --antispam work from command line (these used to work in rcfiles). Reported by Kees Bakker, BerliOS Bug #17599. (Sunil Shetye) * Smoke test XHTML 1.1 validation, and if it fails, skip validating HTML documents. Skip validating Mailbox-Names-UTF7.html. Several systems have broken XHTML 1.1 DTD installations that jeopardize the build. Reported by Mihail Nechkin against FreeBSD port. Workaround for 6.3.18: build in a separate directory, i. e: mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --options-go-here * Send a NOOP only after a failed STARTTLS in IMAP. (Sunil Shetye) * Demote GSSAPI verbose/debug syslog to INFO severity. Requested by Carlos E. R. and Derek Simkowiak via the fetchmail-users@ mailing list. * Do STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3 if it is mandatory even if the server capabilities do not show support for upgradation to TLS. To use this, configure --sslproto tls1. (Sunil Shetye) * IMAP: Understand empty strings as FETCH response, seen on Yahoo. Reported by Yasin Malli to fetchmail-users@ 2010-12-10. Note that fetchmail continues to expect literals as FETCH response for now. # DOCUMENTATION * The manual page now links to IANA for GSSAPI service names. # TRANSLATION UPDATES [cs] Czech (Petr Pisar) [fr] French (Frédéric Marchal) [de] German [it] Italian (Vincenzo Campanella) [pl] Polish (Jakub Bogusz) fetchmail-6.3.18 (released 2010-10-09, 25936 LoC): # SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS TO DEFANG X.509 CERTIFICATE ABUSE * Fetchmail now only accepts wildcard certificate common names and subject alternative names if they start with "*.". Previous versions would accept wildcards even if no period followed immediately. * Fetchmail now disallows wildcards in certificates to match domain literals (such as 10.9.8.7), or wildcards in domain literals ("*.168.23.23"). The test is overly picky and triggers if the pattern (after skipping the initial wildcard "*") or domain consists solely of digits and dots, and thus matches more than needed. * Fetchmail now disallows wildcarding top-level domains. # CRITICAL BUG FIXES AND REGRESSION FIXES * Fetchmail 6.3.15, 6.3.16, and 6.3.17 would pick up libmd5 to obtain MD5* functions, as an effect of an undocumented Solaris MD5 fix. This caused all MD5-related functions to malfunction if, for instance, libmd5.so was installed on other operating systems as part of libwww on machines where long isn't 32-bits, i. e. usually on 64-bit computers. Fixes Gentoo Bug #319283, reported, including libwww hint, by Karl Hakimian. Side effect: fetchmail will now use -lmd on Solaris rather than -lmd5. * Fetchmail 6.3.17 warned about insecure SSL/TLS connections even if a matching --sslfingerprint was specified. This is an omission from an SSL usability change made in 6.3.17. Fixes Debian Bug#580796 reported by Roland Stigge. * Fetchmail will now apply timeouts to the authentication stage. This stage encompasses STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3. Reported missing by Thomas Jarosch. * Fetchmail now cancels GSSAPI authentication properly when encountering GSS errors, such as no or unsuitable credentials. It now sends an asterisk on a line by its own, as required in SASL. This fixes protocol synchronization issues that cause Authentication failures, often observed with kerberized MS Exchange servers. Fixes Debian Bug #568455 reported by Patrick Rynhart, and Alan Murrell, to the fetchmail-users list. Fix verified by Thomas Voigtmann and Patrick Rynhart. # BUG FIXES * Fetchmail will no longer print connection attempts and errors for one host in "silent" and "normal" logging modes, unless all connections fail. This should reduce irritation around refused-connection logging if services are only on an IPv4 socket if the host also supports IPv6. Often observed as connections refused to ::1/25 when the subsequent connection to 127.0.0.1/25 then - silently - succeeds. Fetchmail, unless in verbose mode, will collect all connect errors and only report them if all of them fail. * Fetchmail will not try GSSAPI authentication automatically, unless it has GSS credentials. However, if GSSAPI authentication is requested explicitly, fetchmail will always try it. * Fetchmail now parses response to "FETCH n:m RFC822.SIZE" and "FETCH n RFC822.HEADER" in a more flexible manner. (Sunil Shetye) * The manual page clearly states that --principal is for Kerberos 4 only, not for Kerberos 5 or GSSAPI. Found by Thomas Voigtmann. # CHANGES * When encountering incorrect headers, fetchmail will refer to the bad-header option in the manpage. Fixes BerliOS Bug #17272, change suggested by Björn Voigt. * Fetchmail now decodes and reports GSSAPI status codes upon errors. * Fetchmail now autoprobes NTLM also for POP3. * The Fetchmail FAQ has a new item #R15 on authentication failures. # INTERNAL CHANGES * The common NTLM authentication code was factored out from pop3.c and imap.c. # TRANSLATION UPDATES [zh_CN] Chinese/simplified (Ji Zheng-Yu) [cs] Czech (Petr Pisar) [nl] Dutch (Erwin Poeze) [fr] French (Frédéric Marchal) [de] German [it] Italian (Vincenzo Campanella) [ja] Japanese (Takeshi Hamasaki) [pl] Polish (Jakub Bogusz) [sk] Slovak (Marcel Telka) To generate a diff of this commit: cvs rdiff -u -r1.175 -r1.176 pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail/Makefile cvs rdiff -u -r1.43 -r1.44 pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail/distinfo cvs rdiff -u -r1.8 -r0 pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail/patches/patch-aa cvs rdiff -u -r1.79 -r1.80 pkgsrc/mail/fetchmailconf/Makefile Please note that diffs are not public domain; they are subject to the copyright notices on the relevant files.

E-mail archiving applications
Click here for a comparison table about e-mail archiving applications (PDF).
With stricter government regulations and rapidly escalating e-mail stores, storage managers are caught between a rock and a hard place. E-mail archiving tools are designed to automate the process of what to save and what to toss. But to keep costs down, these tools must do more than just move messages from one type of media to another--they must be able to examine, classify and manage the content of the messages so they can satisfy internal business policies and government auditors.
There are more than 30 software tools on the market that enable organizations to manage archived e-mail messages. Finding a product is less of an issue than choosing the right one for your company. High on any e-mail features checklist should be ease of use, comprehensiveness, TCO, scalability, and indexing and search functions.
What regulators look for
Michael Casey, vice president of data policy and ILM services at consulting firm Contoural, offers these tips to organizations that need to create e-mail archiving policies that comply with industry regulations.
Save messages for a defined period. All regulations specify a minimum retention period, usually three years. In the event an investigation occurs, messages will need to be retained longer, so verify that an archiving tool can suppress the deletion of messages if necessary.
Keep records safe and accessible. Regulators expect users to keep records safe from loss, damage or misuse.
Ensure data integrity. Storage administrators must protect records from alteration, damage or deletion while in the archive. Write once, read many (WORM) media or the archiving software's encryption and auditing features may be used.
Maintain confidentiality. An individual's information must be kept secure with administrative safeguards in place.
Availability. Courts and regulators continue to raise the bar in terms of accessing data. Auditors now expect the information in minutes or hours, not days or weeks, as in the past.
Before evaluating e-mail archiving products, Contoural Inc., a Los Altos, CA-based storage consulting company, recommends users first establish corporate policies on who needs to handle e-mail archiving. In many organizations, the management of archived e-mail messages remains a grey area; the responsibility may lie with groups ranging from the e-mail team, document management team, storage team or systems admin to a team cobbled together from all of the separate IT silos.
The next step is to identify the product features your company needs. Key product features include the ability to:
- Set policies and rules to manage the archival and retrieval of e-mail messages.
- Search and classify the content of e-mail messages, including attachments.
- Minimize the e-mail archiving tool's impact on the e-mail server's performance.
- Manage disparate e-mail archive stores, such as on PCs or laptops.
- Produce reports that track capacity growth and satisfy auditors' requests.
Policies that comply
Critical to any e-mail archiving package is its ability to set policies and procedures that meet business and government requirements. Products such as Veritas Software Corp.'s Enterprise Vault (acquired from KVS Inc.) and iLumin Software Services' Assentor Enterprise Suite have wizards to get them up and running quickly.
Mary Kay Roberto, senior vice president and general manager, North America KVS, a business unit of Veritas, notes that Enterprise Vault doesn't offer its users the option to choose a wizard that, if selected, would allow the organization to declare itself compliant with a specific regulation. Rather, users are urged to interpret how specific regulations apply to them and then set policies accordingly. She suggests organizations set up an internal compliance committee to determine what policies should be put into place. She further recommends companies work with an outside counsel specifically trained to set up e-mail rules for their industry. Navigating the regulatory shoals is complicated and expensive because courts interpret and apply existing laws and rules differently. Users may also need to use a specialized appliance to satisfy their e-mail archiving requirements (see E-mail archiving accessories).
For more mature regulations, it's easier to apply specific retention policies to archived e-mail messages. For example, HIPAA regulations are reasonably well defined, but other regulations are not so clear-cut. One e-mail archiving company spokesman has even called Sarbanes-Oxley "a slippery devil" (see "What regulators look for", this page).
It may be tempting to set a policy to delete all e-mail messages after 60 or 90 days, believing the problem solved. Michael Casey, vice president of data policy and ILM services at Contoural, advises clients not to bet on that option. Casey says courts care little about the difficulty and cost of discovery. And if the company policy is to delete all e-mails after a certain time, users will stash the e-mails they want to keep on CDs, local disk drives, USB flash drives, floppy diskettes and even print copies tucked away in file drawers.
The legal murkiness surrounding what to archive, coupled with the potentially unpleasant consequences of deleting everything, push many storage admins toward keeping it all. That's the approach John Hegner, vice president of technology services at Liberty Medical Supply, Port St. Lucie, FL, took. While the firm has content filters to block e-mails, Liberty's Exchange server with its 1,000 mailboxes still processes approximately 50,000 e-mails a day that must be archived.
Michael Sherwood, CIO for the City of Oceanside, CA, archives every e-mail message in a central location, but had a different problem. Oceanside, like many state, city and county government agencies, falls under the Freedom of Information Act. A component of this law allows citizens to request a copy of any sent or received e-mail for the past two years, so all e-mails must be available to be searched and retrieved.
Keeping all of these e-mails creates its own set of problems. While Sherwood has filters to catch spam containing pornography or vulgar language, he finds spammers getting more innovative in their e-mail text and subject lines. As a result, more objectionable spam bypasses his filters and ends up getting archived.
E-mail archiving accessories
For some e-mail archiving applications, you'll need a specialized appliance or software that's specifically tailored to your archiving requirements. Some options to consider include:
Write once, ready many (WORM) media. EMC's Centera, Network Appliance's SnapLock disk systems, Plasmon's UDO and StorageTek's 9840 VolSafe tapes all offer ways to store and protect e-mail messages for years or decades in unalterable formats.
Centralized database. While most e-mail archiving products maintain and manage only their own database, CommVault's QiNetix suite allows users to integrate, catalog and search data across their backup, e-mail, storage management and migration products.
Protecting desktop e-mail. Companies that need to protect .pst files residing on desktops and laptops should consider products such as LinkPro's PowerSync, which lets users sync .pst files between local e-mail files and central stores.
Storage scalability. Administrators can easily underestimate future e-mail growth, both in terms of message volume and the size of attachments. Midrange arrays like Hitachi Data Systems' 9500 or ATA products like Nexsan's ATABeast allow users to scale their back-end storage at price points that meet different e-mail archiving performance and availability requirements.
Data protection. Just because e-mails are archived doesn't mean they're protected. Don't forget to apply an appropriate level of backup and recovery for your e-mail archive application and stored messages.
Features and functions
Most e-mail products give admins the ability to apply policies by message, mailbox, user, group or globally. The law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher in New York, for example, has established that e-mails are the property of its clients--not of the firm. It sets up e-mail archive policies based upon the retention requirements of clients.
The ability to search e-mail archives by key words or phrases is a critical feature in keeping users happy and auditors satisfied. Archiving tools speed and improve the search process because they create their own indexes separate from the e-mail server. Equally important, the archiving software breaks apart e-mail attachments and indexes the content of these documents, allowing searches and discoveries to be done on these as well. For instance, Veritas' Enterprise Vault supports more than 250 types of attachments, and can break open and index documents in a variety of formats, including .pdf, .xls and .ocr.
Users need to be conscious of their search and discovery requirements if they want a single product to search their primary e-mail storage and archived e-mail. Some products index archived messages and messages still on the e-mail server, so all messages across the e-mail infrastructure can be searched. Companies may also find it advantageous to buy backup and e-mail archiving software from the same vendor. But Denise Reier, a vice president at EMC/Legato, was forthright in saying that her firm's EmailXtender and NetWorker software are independent products and that no particular benefits would be derived by purchasing both from EMC/Legato, save holding one vendor accountable for support.
E-mail administrators will also find improved performance on their e-mail server once the appropriate e-mails are archived. Moving this data off the primary e-mail server to an archive improves server efficiency in at least two ways. First, it reduces system overhead by eliminating the need for the e-mail database to store and manage all of the messages. Second, it reduces the backup and recovery window of the e-mail server because fewer messages reside on the server.
Not all archiving features reduce the server load. For users looking to archive all messages in real-time as they enter their system, most e-mail archiving products require users to take advantage of features native to the e-mail server product, such as message journaling on an Exchange server. Enabling this feature causes the message server to capture and send a copy of each e-mail message to the archive server, but it also adds a load of anywhere between 5% to 20% to the e-mail server. In some instances, vendors recommend not using this feature, especially if budgets are tight and you're not in an industry scrutinized by regulators. One e-mail consultancy recommends archiving messages once they're seven days old. Users will have deleted most of the messages they don't want or need by that point, and the number of messages that need to be archived will be reduced.
Another archiving feature detaches e-mail attachments from the primary e-mail store as they come into the system, leaving a link that lets a user open the attachment. This feature is especially appealing to dial-up users who don't want to waste precious time downloading large files. But it should be implemented carefully, as the link may not reveal sufficient information about the contents of the e-mail, possibly causing users to miss important e-mail attachments.
For some businesses, notably financial services, instant messaging (IM) systems may require the same kind of archiving and search-and-retrieval capabilities. While many e-mail archiving applications also support IM, make sure your vendor supports the particular IM product your company uses.
Despite the existence of central mailboxes, some users still elect to keep thousands of e-mails on their PCs, stored in local files such as Exchange .pst files. To address this potential liability, tools such as Legato EmailXtender offer administrators the ability to crawl the LAN and archive older messages from locally stored .pst files.
Implementation and maintenance
Once an e-mail archiving package makes it in the door, administrators begin managing the product. While administrators should always proceed cautiously with any new product install, this is especially true for an e-mail archiving tool because e-mail has become a critical application for many companies.
Nearly every vendor has had some missteps associated with early releases of their products. C2C Systems Ltd., Springfield, MA, for example, reported that early versions of its Archive One product didn't include a throttling feature to regulate archiving activity. Without throttling, archiving a year's worth of old messages could consume so many CPU cycles that e-mail servers would have trouble processing new messages. Archive One now includes a setting that limits the amount of e-mail it can archive at any one time.
Vendors recommend that users take a few preparatory steps when implementing e-mail tools:
- Schedule the initial archiving processes to run during off hours or on weekends when e-mail activity is low.
- Don't archive all old e-mails at once. Rather, use policies within the tool that limit the amount of e-mail that's archived during any period of time. For instance, if your business needs to retain e-mails for five years, set your policy to only archive e-mails up to five years old.
- Start archiving messages within less-visible user folders, such as the sent and deleted folders, rather than immediately archiving in-box messages.
- Begin an e-mail archiving effort with a test involving a small set of users and then gradually add more users.
The reporting capabilities of archiving applications should also be addressed during the implementation period. Reports generally fall into two categories, capacity and compliance. On the capacity side, reports should provide basic information, such as the number of e-mails archived daily, the total number of e-mails archived, the amount of archived storage and the number of e-mails scheduled for deletion. For compliance, auditors tend to be most interested in documentation of user and password management, backups and restores of the e-mail archive, and version management of the e-mail archiving software.
Once an e-mail archiving system is fully implemented, administrators report few, if any, issues other than routinely applying patches and upgrades as they become available. It's important to note that patches or upgrades to e-mail systems may affect e-mail archiving programs. The City of Oceanside's Sherwood found that because of the frequency of security patches coming out of Microsoft, he occasionally had to wait until the patch was certified by the Enterprise Vault software before he could apply it to his Exchange server.
However, the biggest issues surrounding e-mail archiving are ever-evolving governmental regulations. Selecting an e-mail archiving product that's a good fit with your storage environment is the easy part; interpreting and complying with regulations is a lot tougher. In the end, creating an effective and workable e-mail archiving process is a company-wide process.

When it comes to international reputations, Montevideo Wanderers Futbol Club cannot match city rivals Penarol and Nacional. That said, few clubs have contributed quite as much to the development of Uruguayan and South America football as El Bohemio, a driving force in the creation of the continent's football confederation and a prolific nursery for some of the country's most famous footballing sons.
In this the year of its 110th anniversary, FIFA.com pays tribute to a humble institution that has played a big part in football's growth on the banks of the River Plate.
Birth of an institution
The Wanderers story began with an act of rebellion, one triggered by the refusal of the directors of Albion Football Club, who now play in the second division of Uruguay's amateur league, to give their young players a chance to progress. The youngsters promptly broke ranks and formed their own club. The only problem was, they had no money and nowhere to call home.
There are two differing stories as to how the breakaway club came across its name. One theory is that Albion's directors said the upstarts would always be bohemios, Spanish for "wanderers," while another holds that Juan and Enrique Sardeson, two of the new outfit's founders, opted for the name after seeing Wolverhampton Wanderers win the FA Cup on a trip to England. Whatever the truth behind their name, Montevideo Wanderers officially came into being on 15 August 1902.
The making of a legend
The club was never more successful than in its early days. Football was an amateur sport in Uruguay up until 1931, the year in which Los Bohemios won their fourth and last official league title and their second with an unbeaten record, a distinction that only Nacional and Penarol can match.
Nevertheless, Wanderers have made their biggest impact on the Uruguayan game by providing a succession of players for the national side, starting in 1906 when it supplied the entire team that represented the country at the Lipton Cup in Buenos Aires. That tradition has continued right through to the present day, with Wanderers youth products Fernando Muslera and Sebastian Eguren both making valuable contributions to the fourth place La Celeste achieved at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
In between times the club has had a string of legendary players in its ranks, such as the unforgettable Obdulio Varela, aka El Negro Jefe (The Black Chief), who skippered Uruguay to everlasting glory at Brazil 1950. Another well-known FIFA World Cup winner to pull on the black and white jersey is Italy's Mauro Camoranesi, back in 1997.
As far as home-grown talents are concerned, however, there can be no question that Pablo Bengoechea and Enzo Francescoli are the finest two players to roll off the Wanderers production line, El Príncipe honing his dribbling skills with the Montevideo side before crossing the water to make his name with Argentinian giants River Plate.
Current Uruguay coach Oscar El Maestro Tabarez also played for and coached Los Bohemios, while former club president Hector Rivadavia Gomez made his mark on the game by founding the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) in 1916. On top of all that, Wanderers were also behind the national team's adoption of sky blue jerseys, the same colour the club uses in its change strip.
Other Wanderers legends include Cayetano Saporiti, who played a record 342 games for the club, Oscar Chelle, their all-time leading scorer with 104 goals, and Rene Borjas, who holds a very special place in the affections of the fans. A league champion with Wanderers, he also gave his life for them. Defying doctor's orders and a heart condition, he turned up at the stadium to cheer his team-mates on at a crucial league game in 1931. The excitement of the occasion proved too much for him to take, however, and he collapsed and died at the end of the first half. He is now considered one of the club's most representative figures.
The present
Since winning promotion back to the top flight in 2000, Wanderers have sought to regain the status they enjoyed during the amateur era. And while their last championship win remains a very distant memory, El Bohemio have been able to maintain their first-division place without too much trouble, even managing to win Uruguay's Copa Libertadores qualification competition in 2001 with an unbeaten record, since when they have twice played in Latin America's premier club competition. The most notable of those two appearances was the 2002 campaign, when they advanced to the last 16 only to be beaten by compatriots Penarol in a fateful penalty shootout.
The stadium
Wanderers have rarely had it easy, as the story of their early nomadic existence reveals. It was several years before they finally took up residence at the stadium they still call home today, prior to which they played at a makeshift pitch owned by the Asociacion Rural and at the Estadio de Belvedere, now Liverpool Futbol Club's home ground. Their search for a permanent location finally ended on 15 October 1933, the date on which the Estadio Alfredo Victor Viera (then known as Wanderers Park) was officially opened. Wanderers marked the occasion by beating Bella Vista 2-0.
Refurbished on several occasions, the Parque Viera now has a capacity of 8,000, and its stands are named after four of the club's most legendary names: Obdulio Varela, Rene Borjas, Jorge Barrios and Cayetano Saporiti. Situated a mere stone's throw from the home grounds of Bella Vista and arch-rivals River Plate, with whom they contest El Clásico del Prado, the Parque Viera is too small to host Wanderers' international club matches, which are played at Montevideo's Estadio Centenario.

Nothing about the title in any of the article. If it's not for the belt it'll be an absolute farce, no?
Read two articles that mentioned it but I guess they were just trying to get ahead of the official announcement. It really should be. McGregor said he was aiming for September this year (I think thats what he said). that'll be two years without the title in play. Even if he gives it up he will go straight back in as No 1 contender for it if he decides to return

"Now" finishes the triology begun by "Once" and "Then"
This third and final installment concludes a series that began with the story of Felix, a Jewish boy imperiled by antisemitism and the World War II Holocaust.
In "Now," Felix is a grandfather, parsing out his memories to his fond granddaughter, Zelda, named for the Polish girl who saved him as a boy. Granddaughter Zelda is bullied at her school in Australia, but worried about disclosing this to her grandfather.
In a series of Zelda's decisions, all well-meaning, things go terribly wrong until she is confronted with the possibility that she may inadvertently have set a wildland fire burning.
"Now," by Morris Gleitzman (Henry Holt & Co; $16.99), ages 12 and up.

I opted for the route from school down towards the CCT, which takes me down Loughboro Road and then down Glenbrook and Macomb Streets in posh upper Northwest. The homes are, if not palatial, chateau-al, but not in a chintzy McMasion kind of way. I wonder if higher-end burger chains are in some sort of bidding process to for the prefix to be used plus mansion to describe homes like these. Anyway, the houses are veritable ShakeShacks and the kind of places where the kinds of people David Brooks would deign to write about would probably deign to live. I highly encourage DC bike types to ride around here. I even saw someone riding uphill on Macomb, which is a first for me.
The path from the CCT down to Canal Road should be called the "Rocky Crag Path of Doom." [Something about Mordor]. I started wheeling my bike down, but I eventually chose to lift it on account of the various jagged boulders that protruded from the muddy brown sick soil. At least there were some safety logs (my term) turned into something I call "nature's guard rail" to perhaps prevent (or maybe bring about) my tripping head first into the strewn brambles and saplings. If you ever wanted a hint that the NPS doesn't care for bicyclists, look no further.
I was initially fretful that I wouldn't be able to cross Canal Road, but this proved less a challenge than I anticipated.
There's a reason no one bikes over the Chain Bridge. Two reasons, really. The first being: where the fuck are you going? Unless your high stakes bridge club does home and aways (aggregate tricks with away tricks counting double in case of tie?), it's not really close to anything. The other reason, more to my concern, is that horrible hill that awaits you on the other side of the Chain Bridge. I'm not so good at description (proof of that is that I used the word good to describe my ability) so I'll spare you my attempt at elaborating how truly nasty this stretch is. Instead, I'll tell you that it's just the worst feeling in the world when your bike stops moving forward and you're deciding between falling left onto the roadway or right into the branches. I'm not a slouch, but it was touch and go for a bit and I almost didn't make it up. I supposed I could have dismounted and walked the bike up, but what would I blog about? Tales from the sidewalk? Seriously? I just barely made it and that was about enough for me.
The rest of the way through Arlington wasn't especially remarkable. I guess I forgot my Cervelo, because that was the ride of all the other bikers I saw. I'm pretty sure my fork weighs more than their whole bike. I never know how these people are out on the road while I'm still biking home from work. Do they work from home? Do they come home and immediately get into their spandex to hit the road for their training runs? (Also, if you've ever been passed by a super-biker type, remember that they're training on the hills of North Arlington and are subsequently extremely badass) I just don't get it. They're definitely not commuters. Weird.

This week, Papa Kenn reviews one of two must see movies by Joss Whedon this year…THE CABIN IN THE WOODS!
Review Transcript:
First and foremost: if you have not seen The Cabin in the Woods yet and plan to, stop the video right now and go see it. I'm not kidding. I do my best to avoid spoilers like the plague, but almost anything I can say about this movie may be a spoiler to some degree. If you plan to see the movie, avoid trailers, reviews, and jerkface friends that love to spoil perfectly good movies before you get to see them. All you need to know is this: It's good. Really good. If it wasn't worth seeing without spoilers, I wouldn't go through this trouble to remind you to TURN THE VIDEO OFF NOW.
Alright, The Cabin in the Woods. What can I tell you about this movie? Very little actually. The truth is that the movie relies so much on an element of surprise for your first viewing that to discuss it in detail will ruin the movie, especially for those of you that didn't heed my warning to stop the video.
Co-written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, it stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Jesse Williams, and Fran Kranz as five college friends that take a trip to a secluded cabin in the woods where spooooooky stuff starts happening! But wait, there's people at computers in a secluded location? What the –?
Since you've obviously seen this movie already, you already know what happened so let's converse about how it went…
"Ooooh, that one part, you remember that? YES! And then they- and after that- but THEN-! And then those fugly looking- WHOA! Obvious gambling addiction. And then everything just- [screams]! BOOM! Unicoooooorn!"
In all seriousness, Cabin in the Woods is very well done and very much worth your time. It acts as a horror movie with science fiction elements, as well as an homage and parody of the genres all at the same time. It's obvious that Whedon and Goddard had fun with this. Imagine sitting around with your friends, thinking of ideas for a horror movie. Take all those crazy ideas, and put them together in one (mostly) cohesive movie and you have what Cabin in the Woods brings to the table in spades!
The third act is where the movie can fall apart for some people, because there is so much chaos that breaks out, you risk losing track of what is actually happening. The ending itself also runs the risk of being "a little too much", but this will depend entirely on your personal experience. I loved it, my wife liked it.
So yes, go see this movie. It is absolutely worth your money every bit as much as The Avengers apparently is according to my friends in Europe and Australia. What the hell, Hollywood?
I give The Cabin in the Woods 8 out of 10.
I'm Papa Kenn, and I'll see you next review.

N.C. diner offers 15 percent 'prayer discount'
Pious policy at Mary's Gourmet Diner sparks praise, anger
A diner in North Carolina is sparking anger and praise with its 15 percent "prayer discount."
Customer Jordan Smith told HLN she was pleasantly surprised to find the discount on her receipt for breakfast at Mary's Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem while on a business trip recently.
She snapped a photo of the receipt and posted it to her Facebook page.
Not surprisingly, it's gone viral.
Shama Blalock, co-owner of the diner, confirmed to NPR that the discount is "for real," and not another social media hoax.
It's given to customers at the discretion of the wait staff.
Many have praised the restaurant for its pious policy, but others have called it discrimination and questioned whether it would be given to customers who offered prayers of the non-Christian variety.

Just found this earth star beneath a conifer. Don't know which species but I've never found one before. Anyone know the species?
You can grow in light, medium or heavy, clay soil, which is fertile and well-drained.
Abies seed can be sown in autumn or spring (but forms selected for leaf colour do not come true). Evergreen current growth cuttings in autumn to spring. Deciduous softwood cuttings in summer.
Pests, diseases or disorders
Honey fungus may be a problem, although this genus is fairly resistant. Conifer spinning mite may cause defoliation. Prone to adelgids.

The celebrity, the spectacular representation of a living human being, embodies this banality [pseudo-individualism by way of what you want to buy – think of a hippie rebelling by driving a VW] by embodying the image of a possible role. Being a star means specializing in the seemingly lived; the star is the object of identification with the shallow seeming life that has to compensate for the fragmented productive specializations which are actually lived. Celebrities exist to act out various styles of living and viewing society unfettered, free to express themselves globally. They embody the inaccessible result of social labor by dramatizing its by-products magically projected above it as its goal: power and vacations, decision and consumption, which are the beginning and end of an undiscussed process. – Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle #60
I'm always left slightly annoyed every time I hear some star kvetching about how he or she is stalked by the paparazzi. It's as if a piston suddenly started to resent its function within the engine. More often than not, a star is designed, by luck of genetics, familial ties, or modern surgical techniques for fitness to Hollywood's nature – pop culture's own form of eugenics. It's rarely based on a meritocracy. Not that there's no inherent talent, or craft, involved, but similar to choosing a good dentist on a friend's recommendation or insurance coverage, some other beautiful guy would've been People's most eligible bachelor had the astrological rules played out a bit differently. When stars start complaining about being photographed or gossiped about, it's because they've bought into the myth of the spectacle (image as consumable reality), believing that their position in popular culture is one of true individualism, rather than a simulation of individualism. They're assuming control of their image, rather than their image being a mediation between an individual and reality. It's the fallacy of misplaced concreteness, confusing the map with the mapped. Their image is there to be consumed like every other product in the market; the shinier and newer it appears, the more likely it'll be desired. The trick of the publicity machine is to perpetually churn out novel-seeming stories about stars that don't fundamentally alter our desire for the star. Stardom isn't sustained by the films in which the actor is in, but by our interest in the stories being told about that actor that keep us returning to his or her films, regardless of what kind of shit they're getting paid to be in. The star represents who we're supposed to want to be. And with exceeding frequency in our media-saturated culture, we do want to be that star. Hell, even the celebrities desire their star-images. As Debord pointed out, it's a dream of pseudo-power, the ultimate ability to consume without any real control over what the caviling star mistakenly assumes is his or her image of selfhood. Ultimately, the star is nothing but the photograph to the culture industry's camera, a postcard of a place where we're all supposed to want to visit.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
A Life Dedicated to Humanity
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi quietly transformed lives. For more than forty years, she travelled internationally, offering free public lectures and the experience of self-realization to all, regardless of race, religion or circumstance. She not only enabled people to pass this valuable experience on to others, but taught them the meditation technique necessary to sustain it, known as Sahaja Yoga.
Shri Mataji maintained that there is an innate spiritual potential within every human being, and it can be spontaneously awakened. She emphasized that this awakening, described as self-realization, cannot be purchased. Money has never been charged, nor will it be, for the experience of self-realization or for the teaching of Sahaja Yoga meditation.
The inner balance and stress-reduction that accompanies the practice of Sahaja Yoga meditation has already benefited hundreds of thousands worldwide. The ability to quickly and easily activate our innate, spiritual energy - and experience its benefits - differentiates Sahaja Yoga from other forms of meditation. With practice, individuals are able to direct their own energy and redress mental, physical and emotional imbalances to achieve a state of well-being, serenity and fulfillment.
In addition to Sahaja Yoga, which is now established in more than 95 countries, Shri Mataji founded a non-governmental organization for destitute women and children, several international schools teaching a holistic curriculum, health clinics offering treatment through Sahaja Yoga meditation techniques, and an arts academy to revitalize the classical skills of dance, music and painting.
In Her Words
Sydney – 'Now when I'm talking to you, you are all very well-versed and very well-educated people. I have to request you to have an open mind, a scientific outlook to see for yourself if what I say is the truth or not, experience it, and treat all this talk as a hypothesis. And if it turns out to be the truth, then in all honesty we have to accept it.'

Ubaldo to start on Saturday in return from DL
TORONTO -- Ubaldo Jimenez will make his first Major League start since July 5 when the Orioles host the Cardinals at Camden Yards on Saturday.
Manager Buck Showalter told reporters ahead of Thursday's game in Toronto that Jimenez is ready to go for Saturday, but he stopped short of announcing Sunday's starter.
"I've got an idea about where we're going to go there, but I want to see how things go tonight," Showalter said.
Kevin Gausman or Bud Norris will be in line to take the mound for Sunday's series finale. Saturday would be Gausman's turn in the rotation, so his start will pushed back a day at least. Norris, meanwhile, would be pitching on regular rest should he get the ball.
Showalter wouldn't say if a bullpen stint was in store for one of his starters. A corresponding move on the 25-man roster won't have to be made until Jimenez is activated.
"We don't have to make a move for Ubaldo until Saturday," he said. "But if we have issues in our bullpen that we want to cover tomorrow, we'll make it before Saturday."
Jimenez threw a 35-pitch side session prior to Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays and said that it was his "best bullpen of the whole year."
The right-hander has been on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right ankle since July 13. Jimenez signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the O's in February.
The 30-year-old has struggled this season, posting a 3-8 record with a 4.52 ERA in 18 starts.
"He's healthy, he's ready to go, he's physically in good shape and looking forward to getting back in the fight and helping his teammates," Showalter said.

Mike Duggan getting big money from Penske, Karmanos through Super PAC Turnaround Detroit
Detroit mayoral candidates getting donations for campaign, many having to do most of it on their own
DETROIT – When it comes to raising money, Detroit mayoral candidate Mike Duggan is king.
The Super PACs have no limit on contributions and big money supporting Super PAC Turnaround Detroit is huge for Duggan -- more than $1,400,000.
View: Turnaround Detroit donors
Roger Penske gave the most -- $500,000; $250,00 personally and the other 1/2 from his company. Compuware's Peter Karmanos gave $200,000 and Al Taubman gave $25,000.
"I know they are stakeholders. They are people who have businesses here. They are people who have funded different art and cultural organizations. They are people who have gotten volunteers out here," said Betty Brooks, of Turnaround Detroit.
Candidate Benny Napoleon can raise money, too. Detroit Forward, the Super PAC supporting Napoleon, raised $70,000, mostly from unions.
"We're very proud of the people who are pitching in because we're just a baby PAC. We're the people's PAC and we don't have the money that the big guys do down there," said Greg Bowens, of Detroit Forward.
The rest of the mayoral candidates are on their own, raising what they can through their campaigns.
Lisa Howze has a lot of donors, but not a single billionaire. Her top contributor is herself.
"It's very important that people understand where and how campaigns are being financed," said Howze. "And I want to let the city of Detroit know and the voters in this election know that I am my largest contributor. So, you ask how much I've put in ... at least $60,000."

Having been bitten by the lowrider bug before he was old enough to drive, Mario Martinez of Oxnard, California, has had a lifelong love affair with the culture. Lowriding model cars kept the young boy's interest for a while, but unlike his peers who graduated from the model cars to lowriding bicycles, Mario just skipped that step and went straight to the fullsize cars. Cadillacs were Mario's make of choice and it wasn't long before he built a ride that was worthy of a feature in Lowrider magazine in 2005. The Caddy that was featured was built for cruising the streets, but still sported customizations that were worthy of pulling awards at the car shows.
After a few years, friends kept bugging Mario to see what he could do with an older classic ride, like a '63 or '64 Impala. The idea intrigued him, and eventually the opportunity came to give it a shot when a friend offered to sell him a '63 Impala for a mere $2,500. Once the deal was done and the ride was at his house, Mario decided to build it with the goal of it becoming yet another self-proclaimed show-stopping street-cruising machine.
King Midas, popular in Greek mythology, was known to have the golden touch. Apparently, everything he touched turned into gold, hence, the well-known slogan "trust the Midas touch." Mario gave his own touch to the '63, as well, spending over a year-and-a-half building it up and managing the customizations, mostly done through his carefully selected sub-contractors.
Mario's fellow Klique car club member, Peter, is also the owner of Anaheim Plating in Anaheim, California, so Mario kept Peter busy by bringing him countless suspension and engine parts to be chromed-out or gold plated. The outside of the ride was given a new makeover with a fresh paintjob by Sergio, out in Oxnard. The engine was rebuilt and dressed up in chrome thanks to Juan Cuellar, and M&M Hydraulics added a cool three-pump setup, allowing the Impala to lay low, lock up, hop, or be in a three-wheel motion stance.
Mario says his '63, known as the "Midas Touch" was built for the car shows and the streets, making it possible to have the best of both worlds. Mario loves to take it for an oceanside ride or hit the local cruise spots. He gives big thanks to Juan, Augi, Sergio, and Chico for all their help in getting the Impala up to par. Mario also gives special thanks to his wife, Linda, and the couple's two sons for their loving support. Mario may be done with this '63, but he's already working on his next ride. He is returning to Cadillacs and this one will be a green flaked-out big body … stay tuned!
"Midas Touch"
Owner: Mario Ruiz
Vehicle: 1963 Impala
City/State: Oxnard, California
Club: Klique Car Club
Engine: The stock V-8 327-cid engine with Edelbrock carburetor was paired up with a 350 transmission. The Engine builder was Juan Cuellar, of JC Auto in Bakersfield, CA.
Body/Paint: Jesse a.k.a. "Smurf" took on the bodywork before Sergio laid down the intricate paintjob consisting of a Spectrum Blue PPG finish with candy patterns on the roof and multi-colored patterns on the hood and trunk. Renowned pinstriper Mike Lamberson of Riverside, CA, finalized the look with fine lines.
Interior: Antonio over at Roman's in El Monte, CA, took on the interior needs upholstering the OG patterns on the seats and door panels. The interior also features a candy flake painted dashboard with a Dakota digital dash display.
Sound System: Josh over at Breakers Stereo in Oxnard, CA, installed a Sony head unit with JL Audio tweeters, 6×9-inch mid-range speakers, and a pair of W3 woofers.
Setup: Chico at M&M Customs in Ontario, CA, installed the three hydraulic pumps powered by 12 deep cycle batteries and controlled by four dash-mounted switches. Augi at Lugo's in Oxnard, CA, reinforced the X-frame and suspension.
Tires: 155/80/13R Cornell whitewalls
Wheels: Zenith 13-inch spoke

10 former band members remain charged in FAMU case
ORLANDO, Fla. – Ten former band members remain charged in the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major after a new defendant was added by prosecutors late last month.
Jarrod Deas is now charged with manslaughter and felony hazing in the November 2011 death of Robert Champion. He was previously charged only with misdemeanor hazing in a separate case involving another FAMU band member. Those cases have now been consolidated.
Deas and the other nine remaining defendants in Champion's death are set to have a status hearing on their cases next week.
Five other former band members have taken plea agreements and already been sentenced to probation and community service for what prosecutors considered to be minimal roles in Champion's hazing.
They are expected to testify against the remaining defendants.

After an office manager for New Jersey City University admitted embezzling $486,000 in student funds three years ago, the U.S. Department of Education began auditing the use of all federal money by the state college.
It soon discovered that $608,766 in federally subsidized loans and grant money had been improperly awarded by the school — in some cases to students who flunked out or never showed up to class, making them ineligible for financial assistance.
An examination of federal Department of Education records by The Star-Ledger of Newark shows that NJCU was not the only state college in New Jersey cited for giving too much money to students who were either ineligible for the aid or whose financial need was overestimated.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Those records show at least three universities are on the hook for $868,000 in improperly awarded loans or grants — or in some cases, undercutting student wages paid under federally subsidized work-study programs.
The schools — Kean University in Union Township, Rutgers University and New Jersey City University in Jersey City — did not contest the findings and either repaid the financial aid money, or are currently paying it off over time. No students were penalized.
According to the audits, Kean owed $255,920 in aid inappropriately awarded between 2001 and 2003. Unlike the audit at New Jersey City University, the review at Kean was not sparked by any warning bells. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Education said it typically conducts program reviews of schools every five years.
"Most schools do not get cited and have to pay back funds," said the spokeswoman, Jane Glickman.
At Kean, 40 percent of all students receive Pell grants averaging $4,254 and 60 percent receive federal loans. Auditors examined a sample of 30 student files, according to a DOE report. Of those files, it was determined that Kean had awarded too much money to students in eight of the 30 cases investigated — or 27?percent.
In one case, a student who received a Pell grant and a subsidized federal loan, turned out to have never attended most of her classes, making her ineligible for $3,961 in loans and another $425 in Pell grant money.
In another, the university, in determining a student's financial need, failed to include an external scholarship of $1,200. Another student receiving aid left the university, which never reported the withdrawal.
Over the two years examined, DOE auditors said Kean improperly awarded $775,620 just in loans. The actual losses on those loans was less, based on borrowers who defaulted on what they owed.
Matthew Caruso, a Kean spokesman, said the university reached a settlement agreement with the department, paying back $50,000, with the remainder of the $255,920 to be paid in monthly installments of $5,808.61.
The federal student aid system, which includes numerous loan and grant programs, has been criticized for decades for being overly complex.
"The federal loan system in complicated for students and families to figure out when they're borrowing, but even more complicated on the repayment end," said Lauren Asher, president of the Institute for College Access and Success.
The group is among several that have called for an overhaul of the student financial aid system to simplify the process for students and the colleges that oversee the awards.
The Institute for College Access and Success, a California-based nonprofit group, has proposed introducing a single federal student loan program with one interest rate policy, which could eliminate reams of rules and regulations.
"That could reduce the load for colleges," Asher said.
New Jersey City University, which has the lowest enrollment of the three schools targeted by the Department of Education, had to give back the most money to the DOE, although the issues were similar to that of Kean.
Ellen Wayman-Gordon, a spokeswoman for NJCU, said the program review was sparked by the embezzlement case, although the university is subject to periodic audits by the Education Department.
The university's exposure was $608,766 — which included loans or grants given to ineligible students who either failed or did not attend class, miscalculations of financial need, uncashed aid checks that were given to the state as unclaimed funds, and a miscalculation of hours credited to students in work-study programs.
"We had funds that had to be returned either to the department of education, or students or the lenders," said Wayman-Gordon.
About 61 percent of NJCU's 8,500 students receive some form of federal financial aid, she said.
The university, which has repaid the money owed in full, did not contest the audit findings. It also changed internal compliance procedures.
"Some of the points led to the hiring of a new financial aid director and a review of some of the university's business practices — some of which used to be done by hand," Wayman-Gordon said.
She would not say what happened to the former financial aid director, saying only that the individual was no longer employed with the university.
Auditors only found two errors at Rutgers, the state's largest university, one involving a student who had exceeded loan limits, requiring the school to pay back $2,821.
University spokesman E.J. Miranda said the year the audit was conducted, the Office of Financial Aid processed 31,554 individual federal student loans totaling $165 million.
"The Department of Education reviewed several hundred student files," he said. "Though we strive to be error-free — and we take very seriously any error that occurs — the Department of Education review found only two errors and neither was systemic in nature."

App Review: Kitty Kannon by Stix&Stones
by Dorothy on
February 20, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Games
The new app Kitty Kannon delivers exactly what the name promises. It allows you to shoot a kitty from a canon and see how far the kitty goes. You aim your canon by tilting you iPhone/iPod and then fire by swiping a finger across the screen as quickly as possible. The faster you swipe, the faster the kitty shoots out of the canon. Then, you just sit back and watch the kitty's fate unfold. What goes up, must come down, right?
When kitty comes down, he will land either on the grass, a dog, a springboard, yarn and knitting needles, or a mine. If he lands on a mine or springboard, he will be shot back up into the air with increased speed. If he lands on a dog, he gets eaten. If he lands on the yarn and knitting needles, he is impaled. The grass doesn't change anything, he simply bounces like a rubber ball. The kitty often goes so high that he is off the top of the screen. Never fear, the kitty is not lost. There is a sign at the top of the screen that keeps track of how high the kitty is in feet so that you know when he is coming back.
If you get an especially high score, you can upload it and compare scores with others playing in your area. The only thing I objected to was that you had to create an account complete with your email address. There is not much skill to the game. Just launch and watch. It is, however, rather amusing, I must say. That having been said, this game may not be for cat lovers.
Kitty Kannon is $0.99 in the iTunes App Store.

For the last lesson of the day I think I will finally submit the last pony from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, and then I will be done with making the pony lessons. This tutorial is going to show you "how to draw Applejack", step by step. Applejack is a wicked cool earth pony and I love her colors. Applejack is orange with a yellow or blond colored mane and tail. She has a very heavy southern tone to her voice, and like real southern people or girls, she isn't afraid to tell you how it is. I guess that's why Applejack is also considered to be selfish and thick headed. She gets her name from being named after her family's apple orchard business. All of her family members have a apple related name, and she comes from a large family. Anyways, I don't know what else I can really say about her except she is one of the more exciting characters to draw from the My Little Pony franchise. I think you will enjoy learning to draw Applejack even if you are not a big Pony fan. Have fun guys and be sure to meet me back here tomorrow for more drawing fun. Adios mi amigos!

Ulster 29, Northampton Saints 19
Ulster's marquee signing Charles Piutua thrilled home supporters at Kingspan Stadium last night with a breath taking display against English Premiership visitors Northampton Saints.
Piutua powered over for a first half try and then played a major role when turning provider for Louis Ludik and Jacob Stockdale either side of the break as Ulster won 29-19.
The New Zealander - who kept Ulster fans waiting over a year to make his home debut - showed why it was well worth the wait as he was named as the CD Group 'Man of the Match.
Also impressing was the lesser known Hughes Ulster Academy player, Robert Lyttle. He backed up last week's cameo role off the bench by scoring two tries in a quality 40 minutes display as well as showing his place kicking ability was top notch by landing two touchline conversions with ease.
Ulster had come into their final pre-season friendly on the back of two narrow losses away to Exeter Chiefs and Leinster and were keen to put down a marker ahead of next week's Guinness PRO12 League opener at home against NG Dragons.
When Saints named an experienced side including several English internationals, there was a little concern Ulster may struggle, particularly at scrumhalf given they were facing a minor tighthead prop crisis.
Any worries were quickly allayed however and, after soaking up some early Saints pressure, Ulster's domination of the first half was reflected in their 24-0 lead.
The home side raced into a 10-0 lead after 20 minutes - when prop Rodney Ah You was in the sin-bin - and Louis Ludik went over.
Lyttle converted and then added a penalty after Saints number eight Louis Picamoles was also sent to the bin.
Piutau delighted the home support when he forced his way over for a try on 24 minutes, Lyttle landing the touchline conversion.
Captain Rob Herring got in on the act from a line-out and driving maul as Lyttle sent the home side in 24-0 ahead at the break with the conversion.
Piutau's brilliance brightened up a somewhat duller second half for Ulster, his hand-off and then off-load putting Stockdale away.
Saints scored three second half tries, converting two, to leave the scoreline more respectable - albeit somewhat flattering.
Ulster: C Piutau, J Stockdale, L Ludik, S McCloskey, R Lyttle; B Herron, P Marshall; A Warwick, R Herring, R Ah You, P Browne, F van der Merwe, R Diack, C Ross, R Wilson
Replacements: J Andrew, C Black, R Kane, A O'Connor, C Joyce, M Rea, D Shanahan, S Windsor, D Busby.
Northampton Saints: B Foden, K Pisi, L Burrell, H Mallinder, A Tuala, S Myler, L Dickson; A Waller, D Hartley, K Brookes, M Paterson, J Craig, T Wood, J Gibson, L Picamoles
Replacements: C Ma'afu, M Harwood, P Hill, C Lawes, J Onojaife, R Marshall, L Ludlam, S Dickinson, N Groom, JJ Hanrahan, H Packman, G Pisi, J P Estelles, T Collins, G Furbank.
