HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (June 25, 2010) – Paced by Urpo Sivula and Matti Hietanen, Finland stunned the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team with a 3-2 (25-22, 14-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-11) victory before 3,500 on Friday at the Sears Centre Arena.
Finland improves to 2-5 in Pool C while Team USA falls to 4-3, but remains in second place behind Russia (7-0). The U.S. Men and Finland will play again on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT at the Sears Centre Arena (BUY TICKETS).
Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) led the U.S. Men's Team with 21 points on 15 kills (0.52 hitting percentage), three blocks and three aces. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) added 15 points on 10 kills (0.5 hitting percentage), four blocks and one ace. U.S. Team Captain Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) scored 13 points on 11 kills (0.3 hitting percentage), one block and one ace.
"Finland outplayed us," Priddy said. "I can't point to one specific phase that they beat us.
"We didn't pass as well as we can and we didn't take care of the ball."
Sivula led all scorers with 31 points on a match-high 28 kills, two blocks and one ace. Hietanen added 17 points on 14 kills, two blocks and one ace. Antti Siltala scored 11 points on 10 kills and one ace.
Team USA finished with eight aces while Finland had seven. The U.S. Men also out-blocked Finland 14-8. Finland got 60 points on attacks (0.4 hitting percentage) while the U.S. Men totaled 53 (0.38 hitting percentage).
"I thought Finland took good swings in transition and we didn't," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "Overall, I don't like the pattern of us coming out without emotion or passion. It's something we need to correct. We need to be prepared to play like we did in Set 2 at the beginning of the match."
Among other U.S. players, Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) scored nine points on five kills and four kills. Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) added six points on five kills and one ace. Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) scored four points on three kills and one ace.

At setter Hansen was credited with 28 running sets and no faults on 91 attempts. At libero, Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with six digs and six faults on 14 attempts. He also had 11 excellent receptions and two faults on 27 attempts. Priddy had 12 excellent receptions and three faults on 21 attempts. Lotman totaled 11 excellent receptions and no faults on 14 attempts.

After the two teams had tied at two sets each, Team USA took a 5-3 lead in the third set. Finland tied it at 5-5 on a U.S. serving error and Sivula kill. The teams traded points until the score was tied at 7-7. Finland took an 8-7 lead on Hietanen's kill. Two straight Matti Oivanen aces gave Finland a 10-7 lead and Team USA couldn't catch up. Finland reached match point at 14-10 on Sivula's kill. A Priddy kill pulled Team USA to 14-11, but Sivula ended the match with a kill off the U.S. block attempt to end the match.
The score stayed close to open the first set with Finland leading 8-7 at the first technical timeout (TTO) and Team USA scoring on aces from Stanley and Rooney, a kill by Priddy and a block from Holmes and Hansen. Finland came out of the break and scored three straight points on a U.S. error, and two kills. The run ended with a Stanley kill, but Finland led 11-8. Team USA tied the score at 14-14 after Finland had a service error and hitting error. After a Rooney spike down the pipe, the U.S. led 16-15 at the second TTO. The teams traded points until the score was tied 20-20. A U.S. serving error, Finland block and Hietanen kill put Finland up by three at 23-20. The U.S. scored on a Rooney kill. But Finland reached set point on a Hietanen kill. Stanley held off the set loss with a spike, but then served long to end the set.
Team USA jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second set, scoring on a kill and block from Stanley, a block by Lee and Finland's error. With the U.S. leading 6-2, Finland scored twice on kills by Oivanen and Sivula to pull to within two at 6-4. But Team USA scored twice on a Stanley kill and ace by Lee to lead 8-4 at the first TTO. Team USA still led by four at 11-7 when Finland had a setting error to make it 12-7 and a Hansen block made it 13-7. The teams traded points until the U.S. lead was 14-9. Priddy got the serve on Lee's kill then scored with an ace to give the U.S. Men a 16-9 lead at the second TTO. Team USA scored two more points before the run ended with a U.S. hitting error. Team USA led 20-11 when Finland called a timeout and the U.S. hit the ball long. Finland scored another point on a U.S. error to make the score 20-13, but a Finland error and Stanley kill kept Team USA well in the lead. Stanley got the serve and Holmes had two straight kills to reach set point. Finland scored on a Hietanen kill before Priddy's kill down the middle gave Team USA the set victory.
Finland led 5-4 to open the third set when a kill and then a block by Priddy followed by a Finland setting error put Team USA up by two. It still led by two at the first TTO, 8-6. Finland tied it with a block and U.S. hitting error. Team USA went up by two at 10-8 on Stanley's block and Finland's hitting error. But Finland's Eemi Tervaportti scored on a kill and Oivanen took the serve and tied the score with an ace. Oivanen served for the next four points, including two Finland kills, to give Finland a 14-10 lead. Team USA pulled to within two at 15-13, but Finland responded with three straight points, including an ace by Hietanen, to extend the lead to 18-13. Finland led 23-18 when the U.S. scored twice on Finland's blocking error and a Holmes block. Finland reached set point on Sivula's kill and won the set with a block by Jukka Lehtonen.
The U.S. Men jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the fourth set, scoring on kills by Priddy, Stanley and Lee. But a U.S. serving error followed by two Sivula kills tied the score at 5-5. The teams traded points until the score was tied 10-10. Two straight attacks from Priddy and Lee gave the United States a two-point edge. The U.S. was leading 13-11 when it allowed Finland to tie on two straight U.S. errors. Holt scored for the U.S. on an attack followed by a Finnish error and Stanley ace to put Team USA up by three, 16-13, at the second TTO. Finland scored once on a Hietanen spike, but the U.S. Men scored twice on a Priddy spike and Finn error to lead 18-14. A spike and block by Hietanen pulled Finland to within two points at 18-16. Team USA responded with a Holt kill and ace to lead 20-16. After yet another Hietanen spike, the U.S. Men scored three straight points on kills from Lee and Priddy and a Patak ace.

You never know when you're going to need your camera to capture memories or a great swimsuit to take a dip in the pool. Today I'm sharing my must-have list for summer vacations and weekend getaways to the cabin with my girlfriends.
Let's start by taking a look at what's in my bag!
I always pack a cute pair of cut-off shorts, swimsuit, notebook and my makeup bag! These items are a must for any weekend trip or vacation! I can't leave my house without them!
Oh and of course I can't go anywhere without my camera. You never know when you're going to want to capture memories!

Alumnus Authors First Book on Economic Turbulence
Stevens alumnus James Owen Weatherall, Ph.D. '09, recently published his first book, "The Physics of Wall Street: A Brief History of Predicting the Unpredictable,'' a study of scientific discovery, economic turbulence, financial innovation, risk, reward, success and failure. Weatherall's Stevens roots run deep: he's the son of James and Maureen Weatherall, both '78, and the brother of Katie Weatherall '08.
Recently, Weatherall, an assistant professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine, discussed his book – and how life in Southern California is different from life in Hoboken.
Why write the book?
The book describes the history of how ideas from physics and mathematics have moved into finance, with a focus on what that history can teach us about modeling today. I am trained as both a physicist and a philosopher scientist. I am very interested in how scientific theories work and how we use them to learn about the world, and so the question of how ideas from physics might be used to understand markets struck a chord for me, especially because this was a case where some of the more philosophical things I am interested in make contact with important political and economic issues.
What interested you about this topic?
I first became interested in financial modeling in 2008, during the heat of the financial collapse. I was in the last year of my Ph.D. at Stevens during that fall and I read a number of fascinating articles claiming that physicists were somehow responsible for the crisis. Ultimately, though, these articles were unsatisfying: they made it seem as though mathematical modeling in finance was pure folly, and that physicists had come to Wall Street and interfered in something they could never understand. I knew there had to be more to the story than that. If physics was so useless for understanding markets, why did so many banks hire physicists in the first place? Where did the physicists on Wall Street come from, and what role did they really play in modern finance? So I started digging.
How long did it take from start to finish, from research to the final edit?
I started researching in fall of 2008, and I submitted the final version of the manuscript in March of 2012. So, about three and a half years all together.
What did you learn that surprised you when writing the book?
Lots of things! For instance, over the last few years, we heard a lot about financial products known as "derivatives," which include things like options and futures, and also more complicated products such as the collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) that became "toxic assets" in 2008. These are often described as though they were a new invention. But derivatives have been around for thousands of years. And modern derivatives markets in the United States go back to the 1970s. I also found that the most successful hedge fund ever -- the Medallion Fund, run by Renaissance Technologies -- was founded by two mathematicians and a mathematical physicist, the last of whom ran it for 20 years. And in 2008, while the traditional banks were hemorrhaging money, the Medallion Fund returned 80 percent!
The buzz on the book seems to be positive. What's next for you?
I am currently working as an assistant professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine, where I teach courses on mathematics and philosophy. Now that this book is published, I look forward to focusing on my research for a little while. But who knows? Maybe someday I will write another popular book.
You live in California now, with your wife Cailin and newborn twin girls, Eve and Vera. What do you miss about life in Hoboken and the Stevens campus?
Most of all, I miss my great friends and collaborators in the physics and math departments. But I also miss walking! Southern California is beautiful and I love living here, but it's much harder to get around on foot. And the Italian food in Irvine can't compete with Hoboken!

West Bank / Cedar Riverside Neighborhood
Council Member Gordon's Cedar Riverside Office Hours:
First Tuesdays 9:30-11:00 a.m.
Hard Times Cafe, 1821 Riverside Ave
The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood is named after the intersection of the two main avenues of the neighborhood, Cedar and Riverside. The neighborhood is triangular-shaped with three definitive boundaries: the Mississippi River on the east side, Interstate 94 on the south side, and Interstate 35W on the west side. Cedar-Riverside's history is nearly as old as Minneapolis'. In the late 1890s, the neighborhood was known as "Snoose Boulevard," with a thriving community of Scandinavian immigrants, many of whom worked in the milling and lumber industries on the Mississippi River. In the 1960s and 1970s, Snoose Boulevard turned from a quaint neighborhood to a beehive of hippies, intellectuals, actors, artists and musicians. Presently, the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood boasts the largest community of immigrants in the Twin Cities, continuing a long history of ethnic and cultural diversity.

Khloe Kardashian Wins Back the Spotlight by Allegedly Attacking Transgender Woman [VIDEO]
The Kardashian family has been in the news a lot this year, but Khloe might take the cake for having the oddest news moment involving her husband Lamar Odom and a transgender woman. The celeb is being sued by the woman who claims the reality star assaulted her outside a Hollywood nightclub two years ago.
Chantal Spears — aka Ronald Spears — says on December 5, 2009, she encountered Khloe and her NBA-playing husband, who'd wed about two months prior. After Spears told Odom he was "too young to be married," Khloe allegedly went berserk and put the smack-down on Spears.
Spears claims to have suffered serious injuries from the attack and is seeking unspecified damages. Fortunately, TMZ's omnipresent cameras were there right after the alleged assault.

The NSA Has An Internal Office Advice Columnist And Yes, She's An Inconsistent Hypocrite Too
from the spy-versus-spy deptPeter Maass, who I've been fortunate to meet and has had a pretty amazing career as an embedded war journalist, has penned a pretty fantastic read over at Glenn Greenwald's new The Intercept venture. In it, Maass points out that among the ocean of compelling bits buried in the Snowden documents is this strange little fact: the NSA has an advice columnist who routinely provides NSA employees with office politics and interpersonal advice under the pen name "Zelda." Her column, titled "Ask Zelda!," routinely appears for employees with adequate security clearance via the agency's intranet.
Many of the advice columns released via Snowden's document dump deal with perfectly ordinary office politics, like complaints about stealing sodas out of refrigerators, stinky co-workers, or bosses who can't be bothered to respond to e-mails. But Maass points out that one of the more entertaining columns involves complaints by an NSA worker who is concerned about their boss spying on them. In a column signed "Silence in SID," an employee writes in:
"Here's the scenario: when the boss sees co-workers having a quiet conversation, he wants to know what is being said (it's mostly work related). He has his designated "snitches" and expects them to keep him apprised of all the office gossip – even calling them at home and expecting a run-down! This puts the "designees" in a really awkward position; plus, we're all afraid any offhand comment or anything said in confidence might be either repeated or misrepresented."The tension created by having an overly nosy boss has resulted, the employee claims, in workplace efficiency problems and a growing lack of trust in the establishment:
"We used to be able to joke around a little or talk about our favorite "Idol" contestant to break the tension, but now we're getting more and more skittish about even the most mundane general conversations ("Did you have a good weekend?"). This was once a very open, cooperative group who worked well together. Now we're more suspicious of each other and teamwork is becoming harder. Do you think this was the goal?Zelda is quite-amusingly shocked by the boss's behavior inside of an agency of spies:
"Wow, that takes "intelligence collection" in a whole new – and inappropriate – direction. …. We work in an Agency of secrets, but this kind of secrecy begets more secrecy and it becomes a downward spiral that destroys teamwork. What if you put an end to all the secrecy by bringing it out in the open?"So spying over-broadly on people you don't think should be spied upon destroys teamwork, fosters distrust and erodes overall efficiency, huh? Gosh, what if you took that concept and applied it to an entire planet? As Maass notes, at no point while giving advice on spying inside the NSA does Zelda seem to have awareness of the possible lessons that could be applied to spying going on outside the NSA (at least that we get to see):
"Her response to "Silenced in SID" does not acknowledge the irony – or hypocrisy – of an employee at a spy agency complaining about being spied on. But Zelda directly addresses the long-lasting effects of inappropriate surveillance. "Trust is hard to rebuild once it has been broken," she observes. "Your work center may take time to heal after this deplorable practice is discontinued."So remember, dear readers: inappropriate surveillance erodes trust, destroys teamwork, damages the overall community, and creates a general downward spiral that's bad for everybody involved. Unless we're doing it to the general public, in which case -- who cares? Now get back to work!

A lot of people smarter than me keep writing about when you learn Lisp it makes you a better programmer because you "get it".
Maybe all I hear about Lisp(s) changing your life is just a big practical joke on the newbies, but I figure there's no harm in knowing more about the world, even if I find out I've been sent after a snipe or something.
I'd like to follow the SICP book, and or ANSI Common Lisp, but at the same time be studying a dialect and implementation that I could go on to use on personal projects.
SICP is focused on Scheme, so that's one big vote. Paul Graham said that if he were to teach newbies he'd do it in Scheme, but it sounded like Scheme was still inferior to Common Lisp. But then there's Clojure-- which I'm told is limited in ways, but more practical in others (JVM libraries).
It sounds like I could get through Scheme materials easier, achieve "real" enlightenment from CL, or come close enough with Clojure and be able to get more done with it in the long run.
How much of all of that is true? When should I stop thinking about what to learn about and just go and learn about it?

The BBC launched its much anticipated iPlayer yesterday, which it describes like this:
The BBC is launching a new easy-to-use service that lets you access television programmes via your PC. Initially, BBC iPlayer is offering "seven-day catch-up television" – meaning that BBC TV programmes can be downloaded for free up to a week after transmission.It's the kind of thing which I would be very excited about if I were still in the UK. Being in the USA now, however, it feels like a damp squib. It is just the kind of thing that could be very exciting for British expats like us who so miss the ready access to BBC TV we once took for granted. There appear to be no indications, though, of any plans to release the player for expats. On Ask Bruce, they explain:
The programmes will be free for UK licence fee payers, at high quality and with no advertising. Once you have downloaded a programme to your computer you have 30 days within which to start watching and seven days to finish watching it.
Programmes will only be available to users within the UK for two reasons:I think the points are bogus. The first simply begs the question. Many British expats, including me, would happily pay our UK TV licence to get access to the player. There are many online TV streaming set-ups that work on this kind of basis, like Willow TV for the cricket, which simply lock out non-subscribers. This point also covers the copyright issue too -- you simply get the copyright coverage for British subscribers wherever they are based.
* the service is funded by UK TV licence payers
* copyright is only cleared for use within the UK for seven days after the first broadcast
Where there has been upset about the new iPlayer, it has tended to come mainly from those who object to the fact that it only works, at this stage, for PC users. AKMA, a dedicated Mac user, for example, is furious about it and he points to an article called BBC Corrupted. I understand their points but think they are overreacting. The following, for example, misses the point:
But with this decision all these high principles are thrown away. No chance then for the millions of the worlds poorest children who are about to receive the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) computer to be able to view BBC educational programming. The OLPC runs only Free Software and Free Software is, of course, the main competitive threat to Microsoft. I don't expect we will see an iPlayer built to the principles of free software whilst this incompetent BBC governance is maintained.The reason people can't access this content internationally is not because of some deal with Microsoft, but because the decision has been made to block all non-British IP addresses. Moreover, it is clear that the BBC are planning to release the content to Mac users and others in due course, so I wouldn't be inclined to be too concerned. Again, other online TV streaming is often limited to Windows Media Player, and with no plans to make changes.
But one of the frustrating things about the decision not to release the iPlayer to international users is that it only encourages the illicit downloading of materials, which many users would happily pay for if the BBC would give them a chance.

Courtney Love might have put the nail in the coffin of the British report that Robert Pattinson would star as Kurt Cobain in a biopic of the rocker's life.
Using words like "stupid" and "silly" Love made her opinions abundantly clear that the "Twilight" stud was out of the running for the part, according to an interview in the Canadian Press.
"Isn't that so stupid, who would cast him? That's just wrong, no offense (to Pattinson)," Love said.
"I watched the 'Twilight' stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenage girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time."
"But isn't that silly?"
U.S. & World
Instead she wants either Canadian actor Ryan Gosling or Scottish actor James McAvoy. (McAvoy I can visualize, but still having a little trouble with Gosling in the role).
And she wants a hand in casting the film which is in the embryonic stages. Indeed, this is really the only way to go if the film is going to have any credibility with the rock world. While he has the cheekbones, the aversion to hygiene and the musical flare, Pattinson will never be allowed to strut his stuff in this role due to excessive lack of street cred.
At this point, the breathless April 9 British report has been discredited thoroughly. If another nail is needed, a spokesperson for the actual movie tells PopcornBiz the Pattinson rumor was "crap news and there isn't a word of truth in it."

The Vancouver City Opera staged a workshop of "Fallujah," the first opera about the Iraq War, but the production still needs to find a theater home.
Can the stirring sounds of opera reach out to a young generation of veterans dealing with the pain of post-traumatic stress disorder? That's what Marine and Iraq War vet Christian Ellis and Iraqi American playwright Heather Raffo are hoping.
Along with composer Tobin Stokes, Ellis and Raffo worked to set Ellis' wartime experiences to music, creating "Fallujah," the first-ever opera written about the Iraq War.
But it wasn't easy for Raffo and Ellis to come together to work on the project. Ellis said that while it's hard for him to admit he held prejudice against those of Iraqi descent, those feelings were there.
"It took a lot for me to actually go meet (Raffo), and I'm glad I did," he told NBC News.
And Raffo, whose earlier one-woman play, "9 Parts of Desire" focuses on Iraqi women, had her own worries. After a lifetime of hearing stories from her father's family in Baghdad, she says she wasn't sure she was ready to "fully take on (the U.S. military's) story and to let it live in me as humanly as the Iraqi side."
That all changed within minutes of their meeting. "The moment I walked into (Raffo's) apartment ... she gave me a hug and (our connection) was like -- instant," Ellis said.
Raffo agrees. "I might have been most moved and surprised by the level of clarity, honesty, and ulimately vulnerability with which he spoke," she says. "I mean, Marines are really strong people, but I noticed how emotionally strong and fragile Christian is. He was an absolute open book."
He had some heavy stories to share. A former machine gunner, Ellis was in one of the first units to invade Fallujah in 2004, fighting in two of the bloodiest battles U.S. forces saw there. He's open about the four suicide attempts he made after his return home, and about the 33 friends he lost, some to battle, some to suicide. He's marked himself with intricate arm and chest tattoos that carry 33 drops of red to remember those friends, an idea inspired by the red "blood stripe" Marines wear on the trousers of their dress blues.
Ellis had created a written story outlining some of his experiences in Iraq, and with Raffo's help, the two set about turning that into an opera. "Fallujah" begins with a Marine named Phillip in the suicide ward of a VA hospital, trying to decide if he will allow his mother in to see him.
When the two met, Raffo had just given birth to her second child, so motherly emotions were flowing freely on many levels.
Chad Galloway / Opus 59 Films
Christian Ellis, a Marine veteran of the Iraq War, and Heather Raffo, an Iraqi American playwright, collaborated on "Fallujah," but both admit they had prejudices before meeting.
"Pairing these kind of in-depth conversations with mother-son relationships while I had just given birth to a son was really part of our bonding and coming together," she said. "We were really relating as a mother with a young man."
A duet between two grieving mothers, one American, one Iraqi, is a central part of the production. Ellis is quick to point out that Phillip's mother in the opera is not based on his own mother, and mom Michelle Ellis says she understands.
"He told me, 'Mom, it's not you, it's a character that I've created'," Michelle Ellis said. "He has created a story, and I think that the power of it is real."
Michelle Ellis remembers her son's fascination with operatic music going way back, noting with a laugh that he would sing the famous "Figaro, Figaro" section of "The Barber of Seville" opera in the shower.
"He loved music ever since he was such a little kid," she said. "He's got a real big heart, and I'm hoping that will come out in the opera."
"Fallujah" flashes between a suicidal Marine's struggles in the present day, and his flashbacks to his experiences during the war.
From all accounts, it has. The opera doesn't shy away from the brutality of battle, flashing back between Phillip's present-day struggle and what Raffo calls "daymares," flashbacks to the war. In one scene, Phillip watches his best friend die, and another involves a horrible event involving a young Iraqi boy he's befriended. Both events are drawn from Ellis' own war experiences.
Ellis himself is still living with the traumas he experienced in the war. His transition home was difficult, and it took some time before a friend who worked with veterans helped him realize he was suffering from PTSD. Even now, suicidal thoughts still come and go. And he's struggling to find work in a world that he notes seems unfriendly to all unemployed people, but especially to veterans. He's sent out 200 resumes and received only two calls about work.
"It's hard to put on a resume, I've been a machine gunner, I've been an instructor, I've been a leader," he says. "I know how to manage people, but I really don't have the retail experience you seem to require."
City Opera Vancouver developed "Fallujah" with funds from Explore.org, which is part of the Annenberg Foundation. It's the rare opera that has almost the equivalent of a movie trailer -- clips from a May final workshop are available to watch online.
Artistic director Charles Barber said despite its military theme, the opera is accessible to all. "I've never been on a battlefield in my life," Barber said. "You don't have to have been there with an AK-47 to know what it means."
Composer Tobin Stokes worked to make each character's musical language fit his background and generation, even incorporating the sounds of an oud, a traditional Middle Eastern stringed instrument.
"We have something here that tells a story, yes, but it digs deeper and touches the heart of the problems war leaves behind, and I know it can start dialogues and healing," Stokes said. "I've seen it happening already."
But the opera has yet to find a company and theater willing to produce it. Raffo and Ellis would like to see "Fallujah" land in Washington, D.C., perhaps at the Kennedy Center.
Such a location, Raffo notes, would allow the opera to be seen by employees of the State Department, Pentagon and Iraqi Embassy, as well as regular members of the military and civilians.
"That makes for a conversation, and that is exactly what we want to happen," Raffo said.

MIAMI - LeBron James started it 15 months ago at Carmelo Anthony's wedding when he advised the soon-to-be Knick that Anthony and Chris Paul should join forces with Amar'e Stoudemire in New York. That partnership, according to James, would give the trio their best chance of competing for an NBA championship.
So when it came time to pick teams for the South Florida All-Star Classics here on Saturday, James had an easy choice to make.
"Do you think Knick fans liked that?" Anthony asked. "I'm sure they did. I liked it."
James gave Stoudemire, Anthony and Paul the opportunity to be teammates for one night at least. That the game was played at Florida International University and with Isiah Thomas in the building is no coincidence because Thomas, according to sources, helped the Knicks obtain both Stoudemire and Anthony and is working behind the scenes to bring Paul to New York as well.
Thomas, the coach at FIU, was instrumental in bringing Saturday's game to the FIU campus and he seemed to have a hand in every aspect of the event. Proceeds from it were directed to Mary's Court, an educational foundation named after his late mother. Thomas and his wife, Lynn, sat courtside while their son, Joshua, a New York-based disc jockey, provided the music.
The event was important for the Knicks because it marked the first time since April that Stoudemire had played in a competitive game. Stoudemire, who suffered a back injury prior to Game 2 against Boston, is probably a few weeks away from regaining his top form. But the fact that he's playing again is an encouraging development.
"I thought he looked great," Anthony said.
Stoudemire has been a regular on the FIU campus, working out with Thomas' players and even attending classes with them. He even has a new nickname, "Renaissance Man," which is what Thomas called Stoudemire on Saturday.
No one knows what title to give Thomas, who remains close friends with Garden chairman James Dolan and says he'll always root for the Knicks. Thomas is probably something between the de facto general manager and an unpaid adviser.
When asked about the Knicks' chances for the upcoming season, he agreed that Stoudemire and Anthony are the right building blocks.
"I think they have a chance to be extremely successful," Thomas said. "Both of those men, Carmelo and Stoudemire even with Chauncey (Billups), their mentality is they want to win. Carmelo's won in college. He understands how to win. They're tough enough to go out and win and win big and have big moments in playoff situations."
Billups is the one proven winner on the team, but he has an expiring contract, which many teams covet. For the Knicks to have a shot to trade for Paul, they'll likely have to use Billups in a potential deal.
Under that scenario, the Knicks would have exactly what Miami has: three All-Stars and a legitimate chance to make a title run.
"With the talent of (Dwyane) Wade, James and (Chris) Bosh, if that's the model, it's going to be pretty tough for a lot of teams to (deal) with," Thomas said.

Jodi Arias Mistrial Motion Highlighted Stalker Claims
Defense lawyers make repeated calls for a mistrial.
Jan. 18, 2013 -- The murder trial of Jodi Arias has been punctuated with increasingly angry calls for a mistrial and the arguments have cited a woman's claim of being stalked and menaced, suggestions of ethnic bias and personal jibes among the lawyers.
The prosecution rested its case Thursday and the defense will begins its arguments on Jan. 29. In the meantime Judge Sherry Stephens will consider the defense's request to dismiss the case outright as well as the motions to declare a mistrial.
Arias, 32, is charged with killing ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in a jealous rage in June 2008 following a tryst in his Mesa, Ariz., home.
The most recent and most testy mistrial arguments came Wednesday after defense lawyer Kirk Nurmi asked Detective Esteban Flores whether Alexander's roommates "were warned against this so-called stalker?" Nurmi gestured towards the defense table where Arias sat as he spoke.
The objection by prosecutor Juan Martinez was overruled, but it set the stage for an ensuing argument between the lawyers.
The jury left the courtroom moments later and Nurmi resumed his request for a mistrial, arguing that he had not been allowed to vet a potential witness, Lisa Andrews, who was involved in the stalking claim.
In defending himself, Martinez said he has purposefully not introduced the stalking claims to avoid a mistrial or an overturned verdict since Arias is not charged with stalking.
But he went on to state that Andrews was seeing Alexander in 2007 after Alexander and Arias broke up. While Alexander was visiting Andrews, he found his car tires slashed, Martinez told the court with the jury absent. He replaced the tires and visited Andrews again the next evening and found his new tires slashed, the prosecutor said. Martinez never said who was responsible for cutting the tires.
Andrews' tires were also subsequently slashed and she received a "John Doe" letter accusing her of "a number of religiously based sins, you're a whore, things like that," Martinez told the judge.
Martinez recommended that Andrews not be called as a witness to avoid tainting the record.
"I believe the state's so-called concerns to be disingenuous," Nurmi replied. "First of all, I don't need advice from him," he said nodding towards Martinez.
Nurmi added that there was "evidence that Andrews was dating Mr. Alexander while he was sleeping with my client."
"We fully intend to call her as witness," he said. "Let the chips fall where they may."
The most personal comments between the lawyers have included suggestions of an anti-Hispanic bias.
Earlier in the week, Nurmi had suggested during cross examination that Flores and another detective Mike Melendez were not truthful in their testimony. At the time, Martinez pointed out that both officers accused of lying were Hispanic. "Maybe because they're Hispanic, I don't know," Martinez said.
On Wednesday, Nurmi indignantly raised the comments before the judge.
"In terms of misconduct, prosecutor said something about all Hispanic names sounding alike, saying I must be racist or insincere or not smart enough," he said. Nurmi called Martinez's remark "an additional instance of misconduct and was inappropriate on the part of this prosecutor."
Nurmi has also called for a mistrial after the two sides clashed over the speed with which the prosecution has handed over evidence, and interpreting forensic evidence about whether Alexander was shot or stabbed first.

When my son and I do laundry together, he likes to help push the laundry cart. He also likes to climb up on the rack under the laundry bags, a rack made of rather flimsy metal. The cart isn't strong enough to support a bouncing two-year old so his climbing feat isn't all that cool. I've asked him not to stand on the cart many times, but the temptation still arises, especially if I'm busy folding clothes.

According to Dictionary.com, education is the process of acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, generally preparing oneself or others intellectually for life. This education process is built from the ground up and that is just what U.S. Africa Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa and the Tanzania Ministry of Education are providing to the people of Tanzania.
Water is life. A source of clean water is essential to the survival of any community. Clean water is crucial to proper sanitation, hygiene and sustainment of life. Until recently, some communities across Tanzania lacked any reliable source of this essential element.

Lancaster Cops Still Unclear On Public's Right To Record; Harass Same Citizen Who Recorded Them Last Week
from the there's-a-culture-problem-here dept
Apparently, the statement from a Lancaster, PA police spokesman that citizens are allowed to film on-duty police officers hasn't made its way to the entire staff yet. Carlos Miller at PINAC reports that Paul Dejesus, the same man who had an officer walk away from taking an accident report because he was being filmed, was again approached by a police officer who demanded he stop filming because recording his voice "violated" Pennsylvania's wiretapping laws.
Less than a week after a Pennsylvania man posted a video showing a Lancaster cop refusing to take an accident report because the man insisted on his nephew recording the interaction, a story that was picked up by a national technology site as well as the local newspaper, another Lancaster police officer threatened to arrest the man on wiretapping charges, indicating a clear pattern of abuse of authority when it comes to the Constitutionally protected act of recording cops in public.The officer tries a little ad hoc prior restraint by shining his flashlight at Dejesus' camera, a tactic that's deployed frequently by cops wishing to stay unrecorded.
Fortunately, Paul Dejesus knew his rights and was not afraid to assert them, even after the cop gave up on the wiretapping threat and began threatening him with disorderly conduct, which is the usual catch-all charge for contempt of cop.
But Dejesus slapped that threat down by pointing out he was recording from his own yard.
But if he was recording from a public sidewalk, he still wouldn't have been guilty of disorderly conduct in that state.
These actions directly contradict the statement given by police spokeman Sgt. William Hickey.
"It is not illegal to film police in the course of their duties, as long as you are not interfering with them doing their job..."Hickey's not lying about the surveillance. Lancaster is somewhat infamous for the number of surveillance cameras it has installed, which surpasses the number installed by many larger cities like San Francisco and Boston. Not only that, but the system is manned by volunteers including, at one point, someone who had been convicted of stalking, harassment and impersonating a public official.
City officers are instructed during ongoing in-service sessions that citizens are allowed to film them doing their jobs, Hickey says.
Case law has established that right, and officers should not inform a citizen otherwise, Hickey says.
"It's reasonable to expect, at any given time, anybody could be filmed," Hickey says. "There are traffic cameras, cameras at ATMs, even most of our patrol vehicles are equipped with dash cams.
"You are under surveillance no matter where you go."
The fact that everyone in Lancaster is "under surveillance" (from the mouth of the PD PR himself) means that the police, who "benefit" from this camera system, are the last people who should be granting themselves an "expectation of privacy" in order to wave off pesky citizens and their recording devices.
These cops backed off when the usual stuff didn't work, but there's obviously still a disconnect between the PD spokesman's calming statements and the actual attitude of the rank-and-file.

It is divided politically into 12 independent countries— Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela—and the overseas department of French Guiana. The continent extends c.4,750 mi (7,640 km) from Punta Gallinas, Colombia, in the north to Cape Horn, Chile, in the south. At its broadest point, near where it is crossed by the equator, the continent extends c.3,300 mi (5,300 km) from east to west. South America is connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama; it is washed on the N by the Caribbean Sea, on the E by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean.

Privatizing Unemployment: Bank of America's Sacramento Coup
In a letter dated August 9, California's Employment Development Department (EDD) announced it was discontinuing the practice of mailing unemployment claim checks to EDD recipients. Instead, the letter explained, the EDD was introducing "electronic benefit payments" that could be tapped via an EDD Debit Card.
EDD cited only one argument for the change: "You will no longer be waiting for checks in the mail."
What the EDD's letter did not fully explain was that, under the new system, in order for the state's 2.2 million unemployed to retain access their all-important EDD checks, they must first agree to become customers of Bank of America.
Many people take pride in not entrusting their money to corporate financial behemoths like Bank of America (BofA), preferring to store their savings in local banks and federally protected credit unions. The reasons have everything to do with BofA's history and practices. BofA currently is the subject of a class-action lawsuit stemming from its alleged mishandling of home foreclosures and separate lawsuits claiming predatory lending practices.
The Bank of America is emblematic of the reigning kleptocracy that has come to define the prevailing domestic and global financial model. In 2010, the Charlotte-based BofA reported $10.4 billion in revenues and (for the second year in a row) paid no taxes. By claiming $2.2 billion in losses and invoking a $12.4 billion "goodwill impairment," BofA actually qualified for a $1 billion "tax benefit" payment from the IRS. (BofA might not have run up such huge losses if it hadn't doled out $2.2 million in campaign contributions to politicians and their PACs. But, in fairness, if it hadn't been for those political payoffs, BofA might not have received a $45 billion government bailout, courtesy of the US taxpayers.)
"Bank of America takes its role as a corporate citizen very seriously, and pays taxes in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations," BofA's Jerry Dubrowski maintains. But the DC-based activist group US Uncut calls BofA an "aggressive tax dodger" and raises the obvious question: "We pay our taxes. Why don't they?" One answer to this question is strategic: Unlike the average taxpayer, BofA maintains 115 offshore tax havens around the world in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Singapore, the US Virgin Islands and elsewhere.)
Invasion of Privacy: Your Money or Your Meds
Activating the new EDD/BofA Debit Card requires that users establish a new account with BofA and, in the process, provide the bank with a host of personal information items not required by EDD. According to an enclosed US Consumer Privacy Notice, before EDD clients can claim their benefits, they must first provide BofA with "Social Security number and employment information," "credit information," and "medical information."
"We collect your personal information… when you open an account or perform transactions," BofA states. "We also collect your personal information from others."
If you don't want BofA to be calling you at home with commercial offers, you have to take the proactive step of asking to be placed on the bank's Do Not Call list. Even that may not fully protect you since, as BofA notes: "We do not solicit via phone numbers listed on the state of federal Do Not Call lists, unless the law permits." [Emphasis added.] Residents of California are specifically assured: "We will limit sharing among our companies to the extent required by California law." [Again, emphasis added.] And, if you call BofA to complain, bear in mind that "If you communicate with us by telephone, we may monitor or record the call." And you better remember this because, as the Agreement, notes "We need not remind you of our recording or monitoring before each call."
BofA lists eight "reasons we can share your personal information." These include: "For marketing purposes," "For joint marketing," "For our affiliates' everyday business purposes — information about your transactions and experiences."
Can you limit this "sharing" of personal information? In a word, "No."
Thanks to the EDD deal, BofA promises to "begin sharing your information 45 days from the date we sent this notice." And even when "you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice."
The EDD's New 'Agreement': User Fees for BofA
EDD Debit Card users must agree to allow BofA and other "financial companies" to "share customers' personal information." BofA's "financial affiliates" include: Merrill Lynch, Fleet Credit Card Services, US Trust and General Fidelity Life Insurance Company. BofA's contract also requires that customers' personal information can be shared with a host of "nonaffiliates," broadly defined as including "retailers, travel companies and membership organizations [and] other companies such as nonprofit organizations."
Although unemployment claims in California max out at 99 weeks (less two years), the EDD mailing instructs the out-of-work that: "You should keep you card for the three-year period for which it is valid."
The EDD letter that accompanies the unsolicited BofA Visa Debit Card instructs recipients to "Activate Your Card Immediately" and recommends that desperate job seekers "Read your California Employment Development Department Debit Card Deposit Agreement." On closer inspection, however, it turns out that this document was not written or printed by the EDD. It was written and printed by BofA ["Effective Date November 1, 2010"].
The eight-page Agreement spells out (in a blur of small, narrow type) further BofA "benefits" — including a section on "Bank Fees." Yep, under the EDD-BofA deal, the unemployed are now liable to paying "user fees" to the BofA. "Bank fees associated with your Card are listed in the Fee Schedule. These fees are imposed by us and retained by us," BofA stipulates. "Fees will be taken from the balance of your [EDD] Account as they apply."
The Agreement gives the BofA the right to "cancel your right to use your Card at any time." So dismiss any thoughts that the Debit Card is a device designed to further the social support mission of the EDD. The BofA Agreement is very clear: "Your card remains our property."
Most people already have an account at a preferred bank, savings and loan or Federal Credit Union. Most people will be out-of-luck.
Not only has the EDD decreed that job-seekers must sign up with the BofA, the Agreement specifies that any attempt to use the new EDD card at any non-BofA ATM will soon be costing you $1 per transaction. And BofA will be collecting those fees directly from the money set aside for your EDD claim.
Although the Debit Card arrives in an envelope bearing the name of the EDD, the enclosed cover letter bears a discrete BofA logo. The letter makes it clear that the overall goal is not to assist the unemployed so much as to promote consumerism.
"Your unemployment and state disability insurance benefit payments will be faster, easier and more secure," the BofA cover letter begins. But the very next sentence commands: "Make purchases everywhere Visa® debit cards are accepted" including "grocery stores, gas stations, medical offices, utility payments, restaurants, retail stores, phone payments, online payments."
The cover letter contains only seven sentences devoted to "Important Information from the California EDD." The last sentence reads: "It is advisable to keep your card for at least three years after it has been issued." There is no explanation why this is advisable.
From Sacramento to Possum Hollow, Tennessee
How did it come to pass that a State agency entrusted with assisting the unemployed has struck a deal that would force millions of desperate Californians into the arms of a private bank? Staff at the Berkeley Cooperative Federal Credit Union at the corner of Shattuck and Ashby were caught by surprise when shown the EDD/BofA documents. "Can they do that?" one accounting officer asked in disbelief before rushing off to photocopy the letters.
The firewall that is supposed to separate Bank and State has clearly been breached in this instance, allowing a widely distrusted and criticized banking monolith to force California's unemployed into becoming corporate vassals in exchange for access to benefits that previously came from Sacramento—without fees or invasions of privacy.
It is especially vexing that Sacramento has allowed BofA to parade its wares under the banner of the EDD. This indignity is underscored by a comparison between two return addresses. The August 9 letter advising of the coming change arrived in an envelope mailed from EDD's Sacramento address. However, the return address on the envelope containing the bank's Visa Debit Card and Agreement reads: "EDD, State of California, PO Box 8488, Gray, TN 37615-8488."
The Planet could find no listings for a Bank of America facility in Gray, Tennessee. Phone calls to EDD's Sacramento office went unanswered. A Google search for the Tennessee address does pinpoint a specific site. On Google Earth, it appears as a pinpoint in a stretch of woods off Possum Hollow Road that is identified as the home of the "US Army National Guard Recruiting." At this point the trail runs cold.
It's time to put some heat on Sacramento and demand to know who is responsible for creating the EDD's ghost operations in Gray, Tennessee. And who decided the State should act as a business partner and recruiting agent for a profiteering, private, commercial bank.

While All My Children's Krystal Carey always seems to have her hands full — whether it's juggling men or juggling secrets — her portrayer, Bobbie Eakes, is a pretty busy woman herself. Only Bobbie isn't up to no good — she's making beautiful music.
Since June of last year, Bobbie and fellow soap stars Kassie DePaiva (Blair, One Life to Live) and Kathy Brier (ex-Marcie, OLTL) have been performing to packed audiences as the Divas of Daytime. This year, the Divas will also be featured performers at the Country Music Association's Music Festival the weekend of June 12.
Bobbie explains how the Divas came about: "I had been wanting to put a group together for a long time. My first idea was a group where I'd be the only girl and have a couple of soap hunks, where it would be a girl and a couple of guys. At the time, Vincent Irizarry was one of the guys I was talking to, and he was in L.A. doing The Young and the Restless. It was logistically hard to get everyone together, because the people I wanted to use were spread out. Then I thought, 'Why not three girls? It would be cool to have a trio.'"
Bobbie didn't have to look far to find her musical accomplices. "I immediately thought of Kassie and Kathy, because I had done duets with both of them. They were excited about the idea — the enthusiasm was there, the availability was there, and we were all on the same page about it."
Performing with the Divas is, as Bobbie says, "an absolutely a joy. We just laugh all the time. We laugh at what we say, and we also get a kick out of our songs. Singing together in the three-part harmonies that we've put together just really seems to work. It's very rewarding."
Fans who want to catch the Divas in concert can expect one main thing: fun. "The show is mostly music — with songs most people recognize from the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s — with between-song banter. We also do some current stuff with maybe a few original songs tossed in there. It's the kind of show that you can sing along to. You come away feeling that you've been to a party."
Meanwhile, Bobbie has been very busy on AMC with her firecracker alter ego, Krystal. "When I was Macy on The Bold and the Beautiful, I didn't work near as much as I've been working since coming to AMC. Immediately I was so fulfilled with the character. In the beginning, Krystal came in swinging pretty hard. Now she's pretty much woven into the Pine Valley scene, and she's a little bit subdued. She's definitely very layered, and they continue to write very interesting stories for her."
Krystal presently has her hands full with two big stories: the discovery of a long-lost daughter, Babe's fraternal twin, Marissa, and the murder of Stuart Chandler. Bobbie explains: "The murder story line is a big story line, but it is also happening at the same time that Krystal is having her daughter story line with Marissa. Krystal is implicated in the murder; a lot of people are implicated. There is a lot of action, and the show is moving really really fast, so hold on!"
The Divas will be performing at the CMA Music Festival with a Divas of Daytime breakfast/concert at the Nashville BB King's Blues Club on Saturday, June 13, as well as a few acoustic sets throughout the weekend. Fans can find event information at www.kassiedepaiva.com/divabreakfast.html.

As the USA Network remains uncertain as to whether it will rescue Happy Endings—probably depending, as always, on whether you love it enough—the basic-cable channel has committed to a couple other comedies that aren't Happy Endings. The first, Playing House, reunites Best Friends Forever best friends forever Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair to play longtime pals who are reunited after one of them gets pregnant and she convinces the other one to set aside her own life to help her, like all good friends would do. The other, Sirens, is the previously reported show from Denis Leary that finds him moving from cops to firefighters to paramedics in his quest to mine the humor from all the city's emergency services. The Chicago-set series also joins Chicago Fire and the upcoming Chicago PD in ensuring every angle of bad things happening in Chicago is covered on TV next year.
Also still in contention: Love Is Dead, a pilot set inside a company that handles romantic breakups for cowards; Paging Dr. Freed, a comedy set inside a gynecologist's office (which seems to be a very popular sitcom milieu these days); and, again, Happy Endings, a pick-up of which Deadline cautions is "unlikely," depending on whether you stop thinking about it for even a second.

Tagged: Digital Commonwealth
An exciting project for the next two weeks…
Not that what I do isn't normally exciting (it is!) but I am particularly excited to be part of a collaborative pop up media centre called Citizen 2014 over the next few weeks.
As you can see from the Citizen2014 website, a number of partners (Digital Commonwealth, University of the West of Scotland, Somewhereto_, Beyond the Finish Line, Mind Waves, The Media Trust, Third Sector Lab and the Big Lottery Fund) are all working together on this project to encourage citizen journalism during the two weeks of the Commonwealth Games activities. It's brilliant to be able to be part of a team of enthusiastic digital media ambassadors who want to bring out the stories of all the cultural and community activities around Glasgow 2014 and share their skills and show other people how to do this.
As well as my usual role as educational coordinator for Digital Commonwealth (where for the next few weeks I will be working with the Citizen 2014 team, where will all be planning and running our citizen reporting activities) I will also be running a series of free digital workshops (bookable online, or in person at Beyond the Finish Line) as part of the project:
- Love postcards- make an animated postcard to send to someone you love, or tell the world what you love about Glasgow (using Mozilla Thimble)
- Newspaper remix- find out about all the events 'on this day in history' in the Commonwealth, and tell people your news of what you have been up to by creating a digital newspaper using Mozilla Thimble
- Commonwealth building sketching- Try your hand at some sketching of Glasgow architecture on paper, then experiment with making your sketches digital (using paper, pens and some apps)
I am so happy to be involved in all of these activities and hope to see you at 7 Trongate and taking part in the #citizen2014 conversations. Perhaps I am being a bit 'cheesy' in my closing statement, but, to use the statement which I have seen all over the city recently, 'Bring it On'!

It's two days to my presentation.
The version on my flash was totally corrupted, but fortunately most of it was backed up. I'm meeting with EEbEE and maybe some other people early on Monday to do a run-through.
Trevor's back, but he's starting a new job on Monday so I don't know if I'll be seeing him again in a while. It was nice to have someone to talk to in the lab!
I got an email from my supervisor saying the usual 'wow you're calm!' and good luck type stuff. Plus to try and avoid making last-minute changes. Last-minute is all relative. Isn't it? I really don't care anymore, I just want to get away from wits. The idea of spending another 2 months there before I get a break is HIDEOUS!
I made almost all my graphs today, just a representative colour one and another set of weights graphs to go. I am now a official expert at Statistica graphs. and I found where they'd hidden the post-hoc tests, but I don't understand the printout, but it looks like I may have a significant result in behaviours! Lets hope the people I practised on don't think I'm lying when they see a different set of results in the trial run and the final!
I think I'll also feed the roof lizards tomorrow instead of on monday (so they get their 'weekend' 2 days off a bit later) because I won't have time on Monday and I don't want to have to feed them in the dark. Plus I have to move a couple more up there so I might as well.
In other news I had a huge fight with my friend James. He's become very much a high-school girl type guy at the moment. It's hard to explain. I also had a long talk with Justin and I think we'll be shoe-shopping again soon. I also worked the other night, which was really cool because I got to work with my boss for a bit (she's a really good friend as well as my boss) and then with Matt, who's one of the nicer kids. He spent the shift showing me all the life-lessons to be learned from 'The O.C.' and an eight-year old girl told me all about how she watched Dr Phil every day.
My parents are being all supportive, which is strange. They;re watching Inspector Morse, so I'm safe for another hour...
This is from Ireland. I'm thinking of sending it to my boss as a suggestion for expansion. DVD's, videos, sunbeds, manicures, squash courts...
