Ah, so that's what we saw going on.
Coming almost a full week after the events in question, the Conspiraloon in me suspects that the timing and the hyperbole of the piece is more an exercise in speculation limitation than a news story. It also doesn't really explain why the specialist airport fire fighters didn't blanket the car with retardant foam and kill the fire stone dead straight away
In fact, the article claims that the car was drenched in foam...
"The airport's firefighters poured foam on the burning jeep while some of their colleagues joined Strathclyde firefighters in training water jets on the fire which had spread to the terminal building."
and then, two lines later, it says
"Mr Adams said: "It was my risk assessment that by then, the fire would have set off any secondary device (!!?) but the cylinders still posed a danger so I ordered firefighters to drench the jeep with water while their colleagues searched the building."
None of this testimony squares with the endlessly-looped video footage of the firefighting shown that day - no foam - a car packed with gas cylinders left to merrily burn away in a most photogenic manner - a couple of water hoses playing around the scene for effect...

A Los Angeles entrepreneur is capitalizing on divorcing women's desire to rid themselves of their cumbersome marital possessions by hosting a series of divorce sales, where rich ladies sell their fancy things for a low, low price. Also, girl power and stuff.
Jill Alexander, founder of a company called "Divorce Sale" has found great success helping women angrily sell their crap. Reports The Guardian,
"I just knew it would work. Divorce is pretty common these days and people are looking to offload their stuff," Alexander told the Observer. She sees huge potential for the Divorcee Sale across America and the rest of the world. "Divorce doesn't just happen in southern California," she said. "It will be my way of turning a negative into a positive."
It seems a win-win situation. The women get a windfall just when they need it; customers get knock-down prices; and Alexander takes her cut. A percentage of the proceeds goes to various charities.
And where would the world be without various charities?
Divorce Sale operates solely in LA for now, but is planning a big New York divorce sale soon. Alexander expects it to be crazy bananas full of people and awesome stuff. Not everything's gone perfectly for her, though.
So far Alexander's only disappointment is failing to attract any celebrities to the cause. "I thought the celebrities would come but they have not shown up yet," she said. Perhaps image-aware stars are still a little wary of being associated with divorce, despite its prevalence in Hollywood, or more likely they are used to handling such things themselves.
"I thought the celebrities would come but they have not shown up yet" perfectly describes how I felt the first time I tried to set up a lemonade stand at the end of my driveway and the only person who bought from me was my dad who felt bad for me that no cars drove down our dirt road. I think I got like three dollars.
Anyway, divorce sale parties- for the diamond necklace-throwing spurned woman who lives inside all of us.

Hip Hatchet is a country-folk project from singer songwriter Philippe Bronchtein. The tracks on this LP feature some beautifully finger-picked guitar. There's a decent amount of diversity in instrumentation from track to track, helping to keep every song fresh. Bronchtein is a very descriptive songwriter and really excels at making it feel you are there with him in these places and situations he describes. This lyrical ability combined with a vocal delivery that gives him an overwhelming sense of wisdom makes this an album worth checking out.

– The sixth man in the America's Cup World Series will never shoot a three-pointer, make a critical steal or holler support from the stands like a collegiate Sixth Man club. This sixth man ideally stays on the bench and watches silently, like a gagged spectator.
For almost 20 years now, America's Cup races have invited a guest rider to hunker down in the stern of each boat, letting non-competitors experience elite sailing from a seat unlike any other in sports. The invitation list typically includes sponsors, potential sponsors, leaders of local sailing organizations, elected officials, team owners, members of the media, winners of charity auctions and, occasionally, a musical legend or Super Bowl champion.
For those with sailing backgrounds, the trip enhances the connection to the sport. For everyone else, it explains and promotes sailing, which hopes to jettison its stuffy image. Picture Mickey Hart, the Grateful Dead drummer, climbing aboard and then raving about the thrill in front of a video camera. How could the audience not grow?
Even though they do virtually nothing except perhaps shift their weight to accommodate the crew's needs, the guests can expect an adventure, especially in the new wing-sail catamarans.
"I've never worn a helmet while I was sailing before," John Laun said Saturday after exiting the Spanish boat. Laun co-founded SEA San Diego, which works to promote sailing and attract regattas to San Diego. He had been a guest rider in the '90s, when San Diego hosted the America's Cup in traditional, slower mono-hulls and crews of 16.
The danger factor in San Diego is unlikely to match the wildness of the previous leg, off the blustery coast of Plymouth, England. According to multiple witnesses, every one of the nine boats capsized at least once.
"Some of (the guests) probably wanted to scream, but they are not allowed to," said Vasilij Zbogar, skipper of the Spanish team GreenComm, "There was one guy who was with us, he was doing this …" Zbogar bowed his head and muttered furiously, then looked up smiling. "When we looked at him, we thought he was praying."
At the beginning of the day, Laun and the other guest riders attended a safety briefing. They also receive a detailed explanation about the boats, 45-foot versions of the 72-foot catamarans that will ultimately compete in the America's Cup in San Francisco in 2013. No one can say for sure when the guest-racer program began, but the 1992 regatta in San Diego appears to have been the program's birthdate.
"It started really as a way for the owners to ride in their boats," said Bob Fisher, author of the two-volume "An Absorbing Interest: The America's Cup – A History 1851-2003."
Larry Ellison, owner of the Oracle Racing syndicate, rode along with his team in the decisive race of the 2010 America's Cup in Valencia, Spain. Bill Koch, who financed and sailed with the winning boat in '92, doesn't have a team in the game now, but on one of the two Oracle boats Saturday, he was the sixth man – or more formally, the "sixth crew," since women are eligible to ride.
The guest is expected to remain quiet and do nothing but watch for two reasons: No team can use the spot for competitive advantage, and the guest should not be a distraction. On the catamarans, the sixth man generally straddles a post that arcs like a fishtail off the stern, or sits in a small trampoline-like area at the base of the post. Guests are told to grab handles and not let go. They also have to meet a weight limit.
No one can exceed 100 kilos, or 220.4 pounds, and the organizers try to pick guests of similar weight for each race. If there is a difference, the lighter boats carry compensating weight. The honor system generally prevails. A goodwill measure loses a lot of its graciousness if guests have to step on a scale.
"But you can tell they're eyeballing you," Laun said. The safety instruction includes a big caveat, he said: Fall off, and your crew won't be coming back for you. A chase boat will do the pickup, a humiliating proposition. No one in San Diego could remember a guest going into the drink unless the entire boat had capsized. (If they let the media on, how hard can it be to stay aboard?)
Invitations are not easily obtained. The event organizing committee picks 25 percent of the guests, and the teams choose the remaining 75 percent. Money enters into the decision tangentially, through charity auctions and sponsorships.
"No one," said America's Cup communications director Stephanie Martin, "can just buy their way on."
Hart went along for a ride in June when the catamarans did exhibition test runs on San Francisco Bay. Gavin Newsom, the mayor-turned-lieutenant governor, and Coast Guard Commander Cynthia Stowe also joined the crews.
Olympic moguls champ Jonny Moseley and an eager Joe Montana have each been promised a spot when America's Cup teams return to San Francisco. Acknowledging the importance of quarterback bipartisanship in San Francisco, Martin said the organizers would welcome Steve Young as well, and happily find space for Jerry Rice, too.
As usual, linemen can't experience the glory, unless they've dropped a lot of weight from their playing days. The 2013 races will be more football-compatible in one respect: The crews are expected to expand to 11 sailors, making the guest the 12th man.

Heat should be terrified
Philadelphia, PA – Any loss in a seven-game series could doom you.
A humiliating, 36-point blowout loss deepens the concern exponentially.
What happened to the Miami Heat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night should frighten the defending champion Heat to their core.
A lopsided loss, especially when a team comes back home, is common place. The margin of victory is not what the Heat should focus on, it's how they lost Game 3.
To reasonably expect anything from Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade at this point is becoming unrealistic. Both played decently on Tuesday as Wade had 16 points and Bosh added 12 and 10 boards.
But LeBron James was not very good. He had 15 points on 7-for-21 shooting. Of course, he also had 11 rebounds and five assists, but he's averaging just under 17.0 ppg during the Finals.
The Big Three was bad. That itself is alarming, but not jarring. They didn't play great in Game 2 and the Heat won.
And there's no shame losing to the Spurs. Plenty of guys headed to the Hall of Fame have lost to the Spurs. They boast three Hall of Famers and a coach headed to Springfield.
But here's the scariest aspect of the Heat's Game 3 loss - none of those men factored into the setback.
Duncan was solid with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Tony Parker had six points, eight assists and a calf massage while Manu Ginobili is a feeble shell of his daredevil self.
When the second-most successful trio in playoff history struggles, you should win the game.
The Heat got rolled by Danny Green and Gary Neal.
The two combined to shoot 13-for-19 from the 3-point line on Tuesday. These two guys nearly matched the NBA Finals record for 3-pointers made FOR AN ENTIRE TEAM. (Don't worry, Kawhi Leonard's two and Parker's one set a new mark.)
Green had 27 points and is the clubhouse favorite for Finals MVP.
Think about that - with James, Duncan, Wade, Parker, Bosh, Ginobili, Ray Allen, shoot even Tracy McGrady could get into the Hall of Fame, it's Green who is emerging as the MVP.
Green was taken in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was picked up by San Antonio, immediately cut, re-signed and sent to the D-League.
The story goes Gregg Popovich told him he had to mentally get tougher. It worked.
"Luckily, I've been open," said Green, who is a jaw-dropping 16-for-23 from beyond the arc this series. "They trusted in me. I kept running the floor, trying to get open."
Neal scored 24 points off the bench, including 14 in the first half. He set the tone for a Spurs team that took a six-point lead into the locker room.
Neal's story is also far from storybook. He left La Salle University after a rape allegation (he was acquitted), walked on to the Towson team, flourished, but didn't get drafted. Neal played in Turkey, Spain and Italy and eventually found a home in San Antonio.
"He's a professional," said Popovich. "He's a quality individual. He made himself ready. He really helped us tonight, obviously."
It's cause for serious alarm when it's those two destroying your team.
Don't be foolish, the Heat are not done. Yes, in the scenario of a 1-1 series, in this 2-3-2 format, the team that has won Game 3 has won the title 92 percent of the time, but Miami is 5-0 this postseason after a loss. All five wins have come by double-digits.
However, there is no way this Heat team should lose a game this way.
"We've got to regroup, figure out what we did wrong, which was a lot of things," said James. "I have to play better. I can't have a performance like that."
It won't matter if Green and Neal keep firing away.

While we can all agree that our current health care system is flawed there are many different ideas about how to fix it. Democratic Leaders in Congress have introduced and rushed through committee, the "America's Affordable Health Choices Act". This one-size fits all proposal would steer the country toward a government-run health care system likely marked by little choice and long lines. I oppose this bill and the Democrat Leadership's mad rush to ram the bill through with no opportunity for alternative ideas. Even commonsense amendments to th
Last month the first of two articles concerning benefits available from the Commonwealth of Virginia for veterans and in some cases survivors and dependents was published in this newspaper. This month the second and final chapter on this source of benefits is presented.
The Virginia governor's race (yes, folks, there is another campaign this year) was a rather boring affair until someone discovered the Republican candidate's graduate thesis.
Democrat Creigh Deeds and the GOP's Bob McDonnell were limping along at summer's end, seemingly to very little notice from voters. (Is it just me, or do the two of them even look a little bit alike?).
I have a coffee table book at home that lists, day by day, what was happening in World War II from Hitler's invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, until Japan's surrender on Sept. 2, 1945. It also has lots of photos. The book has its shortcomings. I spotted a few misidentified photos and there are a couple of entries that may not be precisely accurate, but these are minor. The chronology plus the photos makes it valuable to me. One photograph shows an Iowa Class battleship firing a full nine-gun broadside.
When all was said and done, the speech President Barack Obama gave to school children across this country Tuesday proved to be more hype than substance — less political and more traditional.
School systems around the country were faced with the decision of how to handle the speech, which some claimed to be a political ploy to garner the support of this nation's children apart from their parents' input.
Don't tarnish
This morning on C-Span's Washington Journal a man called in identifying himself first as being from Bedford, Va., and secondly as Steve.
As students return to college and community college this fall, many of them and their families have questions about the new American Opportunity Tax Credit and how they can take advantage of this important new tax benefit.
he county's students are back in school and an event last week reminds us of how important it is to take extra care on the roads.
Less than a week into the school year an elementary student was hit crossing the road to get on a bus. On Thursday morning a 17-year-old driver, traveling in the opposite direction of the bus on Route 757 in Goodview, struck the 9-year-old student. There's too much at stake for us not to take the extra precautions that are needed.
Defending Socialism
I am shocked that anyone who grew up in Bedford County or City would publicly defend socialistic ideas in letters to the Bedford Bulletin. If the government owns the healthcare system it is Socialism. If it does not own the healthcare system but controls the healthcare system it is Fascism [Nazism] by definition. Obamacare is Socialism calling itself Universal Healthcare. Just what part of Socialism do the defenders of Socialism not understand?
It's been quite an August. Over the course of the month, I've had the privilege of holding 21 town hall meetings throughout the 5th District – more than any other Member of Congress in the country. In total, nearly 5,000 people participated and the average length of each meeting was three hours. The topic of healthcare was definitely the number one concern, although people also brought up education, jobs, the federal deficit, and our nation's energy policy.
The death of Senator Edward Kennedy, however not unexpected, has nonetheless left many of us with the familiar feeling that all our best heroes are dead or dying.
As one friend of mine put it when we were discussing his death last week, it seems that all of our lives we've been burying Kennedys. It's been possible to feel, sometimes, that with each death we've lost a lot of our hopes for the country and the world. But that's not what any of the Kennedy brothers would have wanted.
Normal people like sports. I, on the other hand, like politics and that makes Virginia a great place to live. We have elections every year!
This is because Virginia does not hold state and local elections in the same year that federal elections take place. Virginia's elections follow a cycle that puts them in odd numbered years. This year, Virginia voters will elect a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Virginia governors cannot succeed themselves, so we always get a new governor every four years.
Virginia is now facing a fourth round of cuts to the state general fund budget in a year. This time the cuts are being estimated at $1.5 billion. It shouldn't have been that much.
Public option
It appears that President Obama and other Democrats may be backing away from the public option health insurance proposal. Hopefully, that is an indication that they are beginning to listen to the citizens opposing this proposal in the town hall meetings and other forums. This is much more productive than calling those citizens "mobs," "unruly," "stooges" and "un-American."
As I continue visiting every county in the 5th District throughout the August recess, I continue to get feedback and questions from constituents about health care reform. Specifically, our neighbors want to know how health insurance reform will help rural America. Our rural areas have almost five percent higher uninsured rate than urban areas, and the current recession means more people are losing access to their employer-based health coverage.
America's veterans have engaged in one of the noblest forms of public service: defending our nation. These brave, patriotic men and women have helped to liberate victims of oppression, spread democracy across the world and preserve the freedoms our nation was built upon. They have served on aircraft carriers in distant oceans, kept the peace on volatile borders, and patrolled the skies of international hot spots. Theirs is a service marked by humility and born of a love of country. For these selfless actions, we in turn have a responsibility to ensure that our
President Barack Obama has bent over backwards to try and be "bipartisan" about health care reform. From the beginning of his administration, and on every single issue, this president has made what most consider a noble effort to get support for his policies from the other party.
President Barack Obama's radical overhaul of America's health care system is running into a serious problem. The problem is that most people don't want it, and most of those who don't want it have made sure that their congressmen and senators know of their opposition.
Reason to be proud
Bedford has reason to be proud! As we watch the disruptive Town Hall meetings across the country, we can point with pride to the recent meeting held at Bedford Elementary School by our representative in the Fifth District, Tom Perriello.
Although he had expected to meet with constitutions on a one-to-one basis, he found over three hundred people waiting at the school to be heard.

April 2, 2011
SMITHFIELD, RI-Some good performances were in evidence when the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's outdoor track and field team participated at the Bryant Invitational at the Bryant Track and Turf Complex Saturday. No team scores were recorded at the meet.
The women's 4 z 100 meter relay team of senior Linee Mello-Frost (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS), sophomore Jillian Van Ness (Agawam, MA/Agawam HS), sophomore Shannon Singletary (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS) and senior Briley Morrill (Whitman, MA/Whitman-Hanson Regional HS) finished second in 51.95 seconds. At 800 meters, junior Meagan Bohigian (Barre, MA/Quabbin Regional HS) finished fifth in 2:22.34. It was the fourth best outdoor mark at UMass Dartmouth, and qualified her for the Division III New England Championships.
In the shot put, freshman Jessica Masse (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) finished ninth at 38 feet, seven inches, qualifying her for the New England Division III Championships. Junior Brittany Cole (Dartmouth, MA/ Dartmouth HS) also qualified when she finished 15th at 34-4, as did junior Emily Migre (Whitman, MA/ Whitman-Hanson HS), who was 12th in the javelin at 109-8. In the high jump, senior Ulrike Schonemund (Langgoon, Germany) was seventh at 4-10.
For the men, senior Nick Santoro (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's HS) finished first in the 3000 meter steeplechase in 10:10.27. In the javelin, freshman Joe Texeira (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS) finished second at 194 feet, nine inches. His mark was the third best ever at UMD, and provisionally qualified him for the NCAA Division III Championships. Freshman Brett Croteau (Rehoboth, MA/Dighton-Rehoboth HS) was seventh in the same event at 179-7.
In the discus, freshman Conway King (Boston, MA/O'Bryant HS) was 10th at 134-10, the seventh best mark at UMD and one that allowed him to qualify for the New England Division III Championships. Freshman Marcus Cusick (Westport, MA/Diman Regional HS) also qualified, finishing 12th at 400 meters in 51.06 in his first meet of the year. Sophomore Kyle Costa (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS/Vermont) qualified by running the 400 meter hurdles in 57.47 seconds. Junior Robert Yarbough (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS) was sixth in the shot put at 44-8 and 11th in the discus at 130-5. Junior Hymlaire Lamisere (Newton, MA/Newton North HS/Iona) ran 100 meters in 11.48 seconds and finished the 200 in 23.67 seconds.
"We're happy with how we're progressing at this point," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "It was nice to see Joe Texeira continue to improve, and to see Conway King getting on to the top 10 list in his first outdoor meet as a freshman. It was good to see Marcus Cusick perform well in his first meet after missing the indoor season. We're looking forward to our home meet next weekend." The Corsairs will return to action when they host the UMass Dartmouth Invitational next Saturday.

Behind the Curtain
We go to movies, we attend games at Aloha Stadium, we catch the latest musicals by our local theater groups. Behind each of these experiences are the unsung heroes. The technical directors, the ushers, the costume designers who work long and hard so that the stars shine and we, the audience, are thrilled. Devoted craftspeople behind the curtain make it all happen. Here are their stories.
(page 1 of 6)
Benjamin Mackrell
Manoa Valley Theatre technical director
A few years ago, Benjamin MacKrell saw Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway and realized the impact of a technical director. "When the curtain went up at the beginning of the second act, there was a standing ovation for the set change," says MacKrell, 24. "That was rewarding for me as someone involved in that area of theater."
MacKrell started in September as the technical director at Manoa Valley Theatre, handling everything from lighting to set design. He's even had to build furniture. "Sometimes you have to build pieces that you can't find, that come with special requirements," says MacKrell, who is building a storage box that can also be used as a printing press, a table and a boat in MVT's upcoming production of Gutenberg! The Musical! "You wouldn't necessarily bring these pieces home and throw them around the living room."
Though he enjoys the spotlight, MacKrell prefers his behind-the-scene seat in the theater, where he can create art in a very practical way. He just doesn't want the audience to notice his hard work. "If you're distracted by what we've done, we've failed in a way. [The audience] should see a set and not think of us."
E'Jay Maldonado
stylist/ creative director/ makeup artist
Sometimes being a stylist for a photo shoot means gluing Austrian crystals to a chandelier and carrying a couch through a forest after a night of heavy rains. All for one shot. That's what E'Jay Maldonado did for a recent photo shoot for Valerie Joseph Boutique.
Since he couldn't find the perfect pink crystal chandelier, he created his own, using parts from two different chandeliers and lots of glitter. After scouting locations in St. Louis Heights, he wound up carrying a small decorative sofa to the site. The shot, which took a couple of weeks to plan, wrapped in just 20 minutes. "It's such a rush," says Maldonado, a veteran makeup artist, a stylist for Amy Hanaialii Gilliom and the creative director for Body & Soul Cosmetics. "To me, I see what I do as art. When you see Valerie Joseph ads in the mall and you hear someone say, 'That's cool,' it's so worth it."

WebMynd's interface is smooth, and attractive. But it's usefulness we're really here for, and to that end, I wonder what WebMynd does that a well-seasoned online researcher couldn't do themselves. With services like browser-based bookmarks, delicious, magnolia, even "snip" services like Google Notebook, how hard is it to mark and save something of interest or use online? Not to mention that the those services don't require me to create and send-off complete logs of my online activity... something that may make many users cringe.
To be fair, WebMynd does allow you to stop and start the recording, as noted above. They also allow you to completely block certain sites from being recorded, meaning that recording will automatically cease when you visit any pages under a certain domain. This is all well and good, but I find the online experience to be much more fluid and dynamic than perhaps the WebMynd folks seem to realize. The nature of the internet is flow from one sort of context to another. Always having to remember to stop recording whenever you do anything you don't wish to be tracked can be difficult if not impossible. I'm not even that hyper-vigilant about my online privacy, and WebMynd's collation of my data still makes me worried. And if the visual archive service was all they provided, I honestly wouldn't give WebMynd the time of day.
On the Bright Side
One interesting thing WebMynd does is run Google search terms through your recorded web history and your (and everyone else's) delicious bookmarks, displaying these results on the main Google results page. The delicious bookmarks search is especially useful if you are looking for quality information on a particular subject; chances are someone else has already found and bookmarked it.
When you run a search through Google (this search results function works only in Google search, so if you use another search engine, you're out of luck), WebMynd summarizes the results from the delicious bookmark and web history on your main results page. Two clearly distinguished boxes in the upper-right-hand corner tell you what they've found:
Results also fall along the right-hand side of your regular Google search results. They default to delicious search results:
Clicking on the WebMynd box above the search results will show you results from your web history, including a screenshot of the top site result:
What I like most about this is that it integrates a valuable research resource (delicious) into what amounts to a go-to search engine for most online users. If you're anything like me, when you start thinking "must search for..." your fingers are already taking you to Google to do a search. With WebMynd's integration of delicious bookmarks, a whole peer-reviewed, self-regulated world of germane online information is put into the context of your search. You don't have to remember to try searching delicious for something you are searching for on Google, because WebMynd does it for you.
Now THAT is a useful service.
Suggested/Not Suggested
Suggested for:
- Researchers who are bad about bookmarking items of interest online
- Visually inclined researchers
- People who like a good dose of eye candy in their daily browse
- People who enjoy using delicious as a research resource
- Those not especially touchy about web privacy
Not Suggested for:
- Privacy Fanatics
- People who hate services running in the background sucking up juice
- Anyone using Digg or Magnolia as their preferred bookmarking service
If you have the Google Extra userscript running, your Google Search results pages will be seriously mangled if you run WebMynd search results as well. Best to use one or the other.

Now this is not a rant directed at a particular brand since this is going on everywhere but since I ride mainly North, im looking at the new North bar for 2013 which retails for 443 Euros / 550 USD / 349 GBP.
Is it that much better? Are we that much richer? Is the overall financial climate so good?
Yet, for a bar that is marginally better (arguable) than the previous model, the list price has now gone from 399 to 443 Euros. So next year then will we will finally hit 500 Euros for a bar that lasts a bit longer than 1 kiting season?
If you have been in the industry for a while im sure you can remember what a bar cost a few years back and now we can pretty much compare a bar to the value of a small kite.
Dont get me wrong, I absolutely believe you should pay for your kit a fair price, especially if a company spends time and effort every year to improve it. But do my bars last any longer? Are the materials any better? Not really, and worse, now they leave out features (hey Toby - no more microhook) and use inferior materials which are advertised as "extremely durable plastic" -
Again, this is not unique to North, pick your brand and its the same story. So where does this lead the sport to then?
Is it time for another Best Kiteboarding to come around and shake things up? Are the brands going to introduce normal priced gear and flog it as their "budget line"?
Further more, I believe that as a whole, such pricing hurts the overall interest in the sport and its popularity which in turn makes people not bother with learning it and instead start other, more affordable and accessible sports - read more on that here, "Is kiteboarding a dying sport?"

The Hebrew word translated "red" in some 23 Old Testament verses dealing with the Exodus is the Hebrew word suph whose root is thought to be of Egyptian origin and meant a reed, especially the papyrus. So while it is true that the Hebrew words yam suph can be translated "Sea of Reeds" or "Reed Sea" the question that must be asked is which is the best translation of the passage to correctly convey the meaning of the Hebrew passages? Also we must take into consideration whether these passages most commonly translated "Red Sea" are in fact referring to what today is known as the Red Sea or are they, as some liberal scholars try to assert, really referring to a marshy area by the Rea Sea or possibly some smaller, shallower lake nearby. This is crucial because if it was not the Red Sea, this would have allowed the Israelites to cross without God's miraculous intervention of parting the Sea, while stopping the heavier Egyptian chariots causing them to become stuck. This is really the crux of the debate: did God miraculously intervene, as the Bible says He did, or was the crossing by the Israelites simply a natural event?
When we look at the many different passages in the Scripture where the term yam suph or Red Sea is used, it becomes very clear that it is correctly translated as the Red Sea and is indeed referring to the large body of water commonly called the Red Sea or Gulf of Suez. The only way that one could look at these verses and believe they are speaking of some shallow lake or marshy area is if one has a preconceived bias towards that translation, ignoring not only the historical evidence but most importantly the scriptural context. The Scriptures give us a pretty clear understanding that the body of water the Israelites crossed was a large and deep body of water, and the only one in that area fitting that description is the Red Sea.
One evidence that Red Sea is the correct translation and the correct body of water is found in the Greek Septuagint from 200 B.C. This is the earliest translation of the Hebrew Bible known and the words yam suph are consistently translated with the Greek words eruthros thalassa or Red Sea (see also Acts 7:36; Hebrews 11:29). Therefore the historical evidence is that these words in the Bible do refer to the actual Red Sea and not some lesser body of water. Further evidence comes from the context of the passages themselves. First, the sea had to be deep enough to drown the Egyptian army and destroy their chariots. Those liberal scholars who want to say this is referring to some shallow, marshy area have to throw out the context of the passages or believe that a whole Egyptian army can be drowned in a couple of feet of water. Also, in 1 Kings 9:26 we see King Solomon building a fleet of ships on the shore of the Rea Sea in the land of Edom, hardly practical if the body of water known as the Red Sea is merely a marshy area or small shallow lake. Clearly, the body of water yam suph refers to can be none other than the Red Sea.
The context of the passages and the way the words yam suph have been translated throughout history make it clear that the Israelites did indeed cross the Red Sea, a 1,350 mile long body of water extending from the Indian Ocean. In some places, the Red Sea is more than 7,200 feet deep and more than 100 miles wide. While the Israelites would have crossed the Red Sea in what is now known as the Gulf of Suez, this is the large body of water God supernaturally parted, and He used it to destroy the Egyptian army and allow the Israelites to pass safely through, just as the Scriptures describe.[1]

Irene Rosales '04, BSN
Director of Student Health
United Independent School District
Watching the nurse who made monthly visits to her childhood home was what inspired Irene Rosales to make it her life's mission to become a registered nurse and be able to help others feel better. This was a lofty goal for this first-grade girl who grew up in the barrio where the odds of success were against her.
Rosales was taunted by those around her for being poor, for the way her family lived, and for having a stuttering speech impediment. Little emphasis was paid to her education and she frequently missed school to care for her younger siblings, sometimes for months at a time. A teacher once told her to go home because she would never be able to learn. In high school, a counselor advised her to change her career plans because she did not have what it took to be nurse. So she did, and for 14 years worked as a laboratory technician.
The encouragement from her mother-in-law finally motivated her to work towards her nursing degree. Support from her family and husband provided the moral support to seek a BSN, which she completed in 2004.

Guatemala has been hit by severe food shortages recently, worsening what were already dangerous levels of malnutrition. Fresh from a visit to the worst affected areas in the east of the country, WFP field monitor Lida Escobar describes what she saw.
GUATEMALA CITY -- In the eastern city of Jalapa, there were many, many children with severe malnutrition problems. We found 22 children with marasmus and kwashiorkor [two nutrient deficiency diseases] in the hospital.
Kwashiorkor is a type of malnutrition in which the children swell because they retain liquids because of protein deficiency. Their hair can also become discoloured and they develop some skin lesions. Marasmus is another form of malnutrition in which the skin barely covers the bones because of a protein and calories deficiency. The children become very thin, lose hair and can become very irritable.
In Jalapa, the children are not only suffering from malnutrition but they also have to fight other diseases like bronchial pneumonia, gastrointestinal problems and diarrhoea.
Body defences low
They lose their appetites and their bodies don't absorb the nutrients when they eat. As their body defences are low, they get sick very easily.
I also went to Chiquimula, in the town of Jocotan. I visited two nutritional treatment centres which have been treating children from the indigenous area known as Chorti. We found eight children recuperating there, most of them with Marasmus and Kwashiorkor.
The crisis has very complex causes. Some children have developed these conditions because of the lack of food, but some because they have related diseases and are weak. The mothers say the children have fever and nausea and that, since they are not hungry, they don't give them anything to eat.
Don't seek help
The Chorti community has access to medical services through NGOs contracted to the ministry of health. To reach them, you have to walk for two hours through a mountainous area. In some cases there is help available, but there are problems with education.
We found one girl that was very cold and about to die. We asked the mother why she hadn't taken her to the centre and she replied that they only take their children to the centre when the local shaman cannot do anything else to help.
In the most vulnerable areas, the WFP helps with food for assets programmes. We also provide young children, lactating mothers and pregnant women with Vitacereal, which is a mixture of corn with fortified soy, micronutrients and fortified biscuits.
It's very sad to see the children with marasmus and kwashiorkor. They just stare into space and it makes you wonder what they are looking at. What is their future? What are they thinking about?

LOS ANGELES, CA - The men's tennis team dropped a tough 4-3 match to Loyola Marymount today in Los Angeles to open up a week-and-a-half-long west coast swing. No. 1 Brandon Wai, No. 5 Rowan Reynolds and No. 6 Josh Lederman all came up with wins in excruciatingly close matches for Yale (4-3), but it wasn't enough to get past the Lions (4-6).
The Bulldogs, currently ranked No. 66 in the country, opened play with three close doubles matches. No. 2 Wai and Lederman downed Carlos Malet and Matt Phillips 8-6, but No. 3 Milosz Gudzowski and Jeff Dawson lost a hard-fought match to Michael Chan and Nicolas Terrien, 8-6, and No. 1 Reynolds and Rory Green dropped their match 8-3 to Michael Wojnarowicz and Linas Cicenas.
In singles, Wai, currently No. 55 in the nation, nipped Terrien 7-6, 7-6 to pick up a win in the No. 1 slot. No. 5 Reynolds got by Chan in a tough three-set match, 5-7, 7-6, 6-2, and No. 6 Lederman took a close first set against Malet, 7-5, before blowing him away, 6-0, in the second set for Yale's third win. The Bulldogs, however, could get no closer, losing three other close singles matches.
"If the team can learn from this loss, it will definitely help us come Ivy League play," Cary Leeds Head Coach Alex Dorato said.
The Bulldogs continue their play out west on Fri., Mar. 10, when they tangle with UC Irvine at 1:30 p.m.
No. 1 Brandon Wai (Y) def. Nicolas Terrrien (LM), 7-6, 7-6
No. 2 Michael Wojnarowicz (LM) def. Milosz Gudzowski (Y), 7-6, 6-2
No. 3 Reyniere Roxas (LM) def. Michael Caldwell (Y), 6-2, 6-4
No. 4 Linas Cicenas (LM) def. Jeff Dawson (Y), 4-6, 6-3, 6-4
No. 5 Rowan Reynolds (Y) def. Michael Chan (LM), 5-7, 7-6, 6-2
No. 6 Josh Lederman (Y) def. Carlos Malet (LM), 7-5, 6-0
No. 1 Wojnarowicz and Cicenas (LM) def. Reynolds and Rory Green (Y), 8-3
No. 2 Wai and Lederman (Y) def. Malet and Phillips (LM), 8-6
No. 3 Chan and Terrien (LM) def. Gudzowski and Dawson (Y), 8-6

It was all eyes on Leonardo DiCaprio at the Governors Ball--but not for long. The actor, clutching his Oscar statue, left the pink-filled space where revelers were snacking on mini pizza slices and deviled eggs shortly after 10:30 p.m.
The actor, who won for his performance in "The Revenant," filed out, flanked by security. And it's no surprise he needed the help. A swarm of well-wishers and celeb gazers wanted their peek at the man of the hour.
"Mad Max" director George Miller left the Governors Ball at a similarly early hour. An entourage followed him, though it wasn't as large as the number of wins his film "Mad Max: Fury Road" had nabbed earlier in the evening. (Six.)
Check out the intimate moments on the 2016 Academy Awards red carpet.
When comedian Chris Rock took to the Dolby Theatre stage to start the Oscars telecast Sunday night, the track "Fight the Power" by rap group Public Enemy played in the background. That same song, used by Spike Lee to cap his seminal film "Do the Right Thing," also played at the end of the show as the credits rolled. Both instances were a reminder, comedic or otherwise, to keep pushing for greater diversity prompted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' mostly white list of nominees for a second year in a row. And fighting the power is what the #OscarsSoWhite movement plans to continue doing.
Here are the ways some proponents of increased diversity believe the conversation can continue now that awards season is over.
April Reign, creator of #OscarsSoWhite:
Girl Scouts, giggles and little gold men set the tone in the wings of the Dolby Theatre stage at the Oscars, where presenters and performers settled their nerves and celebrated their victories.
During a comedy bit on the 88th Academy Awards Sunday night, Chris Rock said he trekked to a Compton movie theater to interview black moviegoers about largely white Oscar contenders.
The resulting segment got big laughs as Rock asked cinema fans if they had seen, or even heard of, movies like "The Big Short," "Brooklyn" and "Bridge of Spies."
But there was one problem with the routine — that theater isn't in Compton. Rock's video, filmed about a week before the ceremony, actually took place in front of the Rave Cinema 15 (formerly Magic Johnson Theatres) at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.
Patricia Clarkson, sitting on a couch bleary-eyed at the late hour, seemed amused by the gaggle of tall, pretty girls. Less concerned was "Love" star Gillian Jacobs, who was hanging out with "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke.
Jacobs was more interested in getting some beignets. While waiting for her ride, she grabbed a bag of the Bouchon donuts — guests were given to-go packets upon exiting — and tossed a few in her mouth. And that's how you end an award season right.
No real surprise here, the most popular Instagram videos to be created on Oscars night include a celebrity puppy, Cate Blanchett and her diamonds, Reese Witherspoon doing shots, and Diddy instructing his followers on how to keep their "glows."
Let's shine together.
As established over the last few months of #OscarsSoWhite coverage and controversy, Hollywood diversity is an issue that inspires much passion within the entertainment industry and beyond.
But matters of diversity aren't a trending topic, they're a conversation that's been going on for decades. Even in Hollywood. Even at the Oscars.
At the 49th Academy Awards held in 1977, 39 years ago, Richard Pryor (after a seven-minute interpretive song-and-dance number by Ann-Margret) opened the Oscars with a searing monologue that lampooned the lack of African American representation at the awards while a primarily white audience nervously tittered.
Despite an Academy Awards ceremony focused on addressing issues of diversity in Hollywood, Asian Americans expressed outrage on social media after two jokes that poked at stereotypes. The comments, one by host Chris Rock during a skit and another by comedic actor Sacha Baron Cohen under his Ali G persona, were particularly notable due to the controversy surrounding the #OscarsSoWhite theme.
Rock's skit drew the most ire. In a rehearsed bit involving the tabulation of Academy Awards votes, he introduced the would-be PriceWaterhouseCoopers representatives overseeing the count. "They sent us their most dedicated, accurate and hard-working representatives," he said. "Please welcome Ming Zhu, Bao Ling and David Moskowitz."
Three kids of Asian descent, dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, walked toward center stage. Following a muted response from the crowd, Rock added: "If anybody's upset about that joke, just tweet about it on your phone that was also made by these kids."
For as much was written speculating about what this year's Chris Rock-hosted Oscars might look like, it's doubtful many prognosticators predicted an appearance of Black History Month's sworn enemy Stacey Dash.
Dash, best known for her work in 1995's "Clueless," now spends her days as a cultural contributor for Fox News, where she was suspended in December 2015 for using profanity in reference to President Obama while on the air. More recently, Dash stoked the flames of controversy with statements in response to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy that suggested that BET and Black History Month should be done away with in the interest of equality.
So when Dash took the stage at Sunday's Oscars, under the guise of "director of minority outreach," the joke didn't just flail, it sank like a stone.

Elizabeth Hurley and Kate Hudson were among the glamorous guests at the annual Breast Cancer Research Foundation gala featuring Elton John in New York City on Wednesday.
The pair walked the fuschia-colored carpet for the Hot Pink Party at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan, where British actress/model Hurley acted as the evening's emcee.
Hudson was on hand to present the Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award to Kay Krill, who heads retail company ANN INC., which is renowned for helping fund breast cancer research.
Sir Elton then thrilled revellers by performing some of his classic tracks at the charity bash, which was also attended by Hudson's Muse rocker boyfriend Matt Bellamy.

Notepads are also commonly referred to as notebooks. They are undeniably one of the most useful little things that you can carry around with you! That is why we have decided to offer you a large selection of notepads here on the iconsume website.
Notebooks aka notepads are so useful because they come in a variety of different sizes ranging from ones you can put in your pocket to ones that are more appropriate for larger scale drawings and give you more room to write. You can use a notepad for whatever you desire – be it taking notes, writing down things you don't want to forget or even sketching and drawing.
Notepads have been used for hundreds of years. However, it wasn't until the late 19th century that binder notebooks came to be. Before this they were made with loose leaf paper, but the biggest problem was that there was nothing to keep the pages in order! The first notebooks were originally covered in a cardboard-like material to keep the paper inside protected.
Over the last century there have been huge improvements in technology meaning that notebooks can be made with high quality lined or plain paper. Today they are protected by plastic-like material instead of cardboard, and come in a wide range of different qualities, sizes and weights.
Leuchtturm has been producing excellent stationery for over 95 years. It is a German company. As the name suggests, it was founded in 1917. In 1948 the company moved to Hamburg, and since the 1960's Leuchtturm stationery has become popular in many different countries across the world. In fact, today it is widely regarded as a worldwide brand. Quality has always been something that is very important to Leuchtturm, and that is still true to this day. Placing so much importance on quality has obviously paid off, as today these notepads are available in over fifty different countries!

What have been stipulating gold prices in recent decades?
Gold trading in the global market is considered one of the best types of trade. Yellow metal remains at the top of precious metals, for instance one troy ounce of gold now 70 times more expensive than silver.
Financial experts always state in their forecasts how changeable is gold market, and therefore, it is nearly impossible to forecast the movement of prices with one hundred percent reliability. Experts now expect a new stage of development by the end of 2015. The factors which bring about changes in the gold market include those of geopolitical situation, and global crisis.
If one looks at the changes which occurred in the world of gold years before, it becomes noticeable that between 2010 and 2013 gold price grew by double, exactly 61%. During the last 45 years, every year May becomes the second most profitable month. For instance, in May 2010, due to Greece's financial difficulties, the troy ounce grew by 11%. Earlier, in May 1973, when the US canceled the gold standard and the world faced an energy crisis, gold prices soared.
If one looks at the chart recently published by the news portal King World News, which shows changes in gold prices since 2012 up to the present, one will see that gold prices reached their bottom in September 2012 while the maximum peaks were the summer of 2013 and the winter of 2014. In general, according to the chart, the tendency is quite positive, which gives gold investors grounds for receiving returns from their investments in gold.

Portion control and counting calories are two things that make a diet become a real challenge. How many times did you walk away from the table after a savory meal and still felt hungry? Studies have shown that refined carbohydrates and foods with high sugar and fat content are not just addictive, but they also make you feel hungrier. Still, there are also foods that have the opposite effect like those rich in fiber, protein and vegetables. Besides, even water helps you stay satisfied longer.Oatmeal Start off your day with a bowl of ... Read More

Occasional contributor Bill Katz holds down the fort at Urgent Agenda. Today he continues his series of reminiscences about Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show:
Ed McMahon died in 2009. His death attracted maybe five percent of the attention given to Michael Jackson's. The reason was clear: It had been 17 years since Ed had last introduced Johnny Carson with "Heeere's Johnny!" As Johnny himself used to say, "How quickly they forget." Many kids in college today have probably never heard of Johnny Carson.
But for those of us who were part of Carson's Tonight Show, Ed's passing was a time to remember, and to wonder: What made that show so great?
The year 2009, aside from marking Ed's passing, saw another milestone in the history of "Tonight." Jay Leno left the show, succeeded by Conan O'Brien.
Not to disparage Jay in any way – he's a gifted comic and a very nice guy – but Jay's departure had nowhere near the impact of Johnny's. Johnny Carson's Tonight Show was a national institution and Jay's was not, and it's as simple as that.
But why was it a national institution? Maybe I can suggest some answers:
First, broad appeal. I was at many meetings with Johnny Carson, and not once, not once, did I hear him speak the word "demographics." Carson was a showman. He knew what business he was in, and it wasn't "targeted demographics." He was there to entertain any member of the public who wanted to tune in, and viewers across the generations did. In his farewell show in 1992, Carson said, "I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you…" That was the theme of his career. When he heard the applause he didn't ask how old the applauding hands were.
Leno's "Tonight" was entirely different. It was so clearly aimed at the "young demographic" that I sometimes felt like an intruder, a parent peeking in on the children. Yes, Jay was funny, and his political jokes were the equal of Carson's. But there was a part of America that was missing, which is the central reason why Leno's Tonight Show could never be the institution that Carson's was. No one ever said that Jay put America to bed at night. Johnny did that.
The second reason that Johnny's show was great was the concept of "star." My, how that idea is diminished today, when wannabes waltz across the screen and are called stars if they speak more than five words. Johnny benefited from having on his roster an army of stars who'd been built and trained by major studios. They knew how to be movie stars.
The "targeted demographic" crowd informs us that only the young are acceptable stars. But I recall the great Tonight Show broadcasts with Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Bette Davis, Jane Wyman, and Rita Hayworth. Now those were stars, dammit. They didn't talk about their latest experience with Botox. And, like the show itself, they spoke across the generations, and the generations, including the "young demographic," listened. They entertained a nation.
The third reason for Carson's greatness was stability. Carson took over "Tonight" from Jack Paar in 1962. He continued for 30 years, through eight presidents, starting with Jack Kennedy and ending with Bill Clinton, a man who, as a teenager, had shaken Kennedy's hand. Johnny was there through the greatest period of social change in modern American history. And yet, he never seemed to change.
He was our island, our reminder that the nation went on, despite the turmoil and the predictions that the sky was about to fall. He would've loved to take down the "global warming" crowd. After all, it was Johnny who'd mention that it was cold outside. Ed would reply, "How cold is it?" Johnny would answer, "It's so cold that…" Fill it in. Johnny would have had Al Gore in his sights.
And so in 2009 we remembered an institution, now gone, called The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. They don't do shows like that anymore because the "suits" who took over the business, with their flow charts and bar graphs, don't understand showmanship, and never will.
Oh, let me close with a Tonight Show story. I see there's a new film out about Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the great Baker Street sleuth. It reminded me of one of my favorite nights as a Tonight Show pre-interviewer. At my request (I begged, I begged) the show flew over from England one Robert Fabian, the legendary "Fabian of Scotland Yard," one of England's most famous detectives. He was retired by then, and I was sure he'd have great stories to tell.
Well, Fabian turned out to be some detective. Sure, he did have some stories to tell. And the best was about the period in 1930 when, as a young cop, he'd patrolled outside the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, as Doyle lay dying. Fabian's job was to make sure no one made any loud noises along the gravel road.
But Inspector Fabian also had some quirks. He was the only guest in the entire history of the Tonight Show who, when he was introduced, walked in the wrong direction – toward the band, not toward Johnny. (I wondered at the time how many clues he might have missed doing that as a detective.)
And, after his stint on the show was done, he made a panicked call from his hotel, telling me he'd lost his trench coat. A detective without a trench coat is like Barack Obama without a teleprompter. We found the coat draped over a chair in our office.
And Fabian's cure for the crime wave then gripping America? "The cat," he said, meaning the whip. I'd have liked to see him go after Al Qaeda.
Another evening on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, a national institution.

World Series Game 1: Umpires reverse call, Red Sox take advantage
The 2013 World Series has its first controversy, one that had a huge effect on Game 1.
Umpires reversed a call in the bottom of the first that changed the entire character of the inning. The Boston Red Sox, who benefited from the call, capitalized and went on to score three runs against St. Louis Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright. They went on to win, 8-1.

The play in question: With runners on first and second base and one out, Boston DH David Ortiz hit a potential inning-ending double play grounder to second baseman Matt Carpenter. Shortstop Pete Kozma dropped Carpenter's relay throw, but second base umpire Dana DeMuth rulled Kozma had the ball long enough in his glove and was transferring to his hand. DeMuth called baserunner Dustin Pedroia out.
Boston manager John Farrell argued the call and asked the six-man umpiring crew to confer.
"I think we're fully accepting of the neighborhood play, but my view is that it wasn't even that," Farrell told reporters. "There was really no entry into the glove with the ball."
PARTNER COVERAGE: Boston Globe | Boston Herald | St. Louis Post-Dispatch
After a brief discussion, plate umpire/crew chief John Hischbeck ruled Pedroia safe, which loaded the bases with just one out. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny came out to argue the reversal, to no avail.
The next batter, Mike Napoli, hit a bases-clearing double that gave Boston a 3-0 lead.
DeMuth said he never saw Kozma drop the ball.
"My vision was on (Kozma's) foot (touching the bag). And when I was coming up, all I could see was a hand coming out and the ball on the ground. All right? So I was assuming," DeMuth told a pool reporter.
Fox played audio of Hirschbeck, who was wearing a microphone, explaining the reversal to Matheny on the field:

"There's five of us out here, OK? And all five of us agreed 100 percent that it wasn't a catch," Hirschbeck said. "Our job is to get it right."
Matheny still wasn't happy about it after the game.
"That's not a play I've ever seen before," Matheny told reporters. "And I'm pretty sure there were six umpires on the field that had never seen that play before either. It's a pretty tough time to debut that overruled call in the World Series. Now, I get that trying to get the right call. I get that. Tough one to swallow."
SN AWARDS: Sox's Farrell top manager in AL
Major League Baseball executive vice president Joe Torre said in an interview on TV that it's common for the umpires to meet on the field when they have something to say.
"When they huddle, you've got more eyes on the play," he said.
LOOKING AHEAD: Game 2 preview | TV schedule
MLB started using video review to assist umpires in 2008, but only to decide whether potential home runs went over fences or were fair balls.
Under rules changes likely to be approved for next season, video will be used for virtually every call other than balls and strikes. Managers would be allowed one challenge over the first six innings and two from the seventh inning on. Officials in New York City would make the final ruling.

Tossed 11 Shutout Innings In Two Games
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Junior David Hickey, who pitched 11 scoreless innings last week and earned a pair of victories, was named the Ivy League Pitcher of the Week.
Hickey's top performance came in a 1-0 victory over Penn. He pitched all nine innings, struck out a career-high 11 and limited the Quakers to just four hits. Earlier in the week, Hickey was the starting pitcher against UConn, tossed two scoreless innings and struck out three on a "staff day." The Bulldogs went on to a 15-5 victory over the Huskies.
On the season, Hickey is striking out nearly eight hitters per nine innings, and opponents are batting just .235 against him.
Hickey is a Darien, Conn., native and earned All-FCIAC honors in 2010 at Darien High School.
In addition, sophomore Green Campbell was named to the Honor Roll. In four games last week, Campbell batted .500 (6-of-12) with a double and four RBI.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday when they play at Fairfield at 3:30 p.m.
