The wettest April on record has brought some relief to wildlife in England and Wales suffering the worst drought in over three decades, ecologists said on Friday.
But while spawning fish and newts have benefited as river flows return largely to normal, in some parts of the country, hundreds of bird nests have been drowned by floods.
"It's a mixed picture, really," said an Environment Agency spokesman. "Where wetlands have not been flooded, where rain has been steady, it has been beneficial for wading birds. Fires on heathlands [vital nesting grounds for some bird species] are also less likely. Ponds have done well from the rain, in particular newts and dragonflies after fears they wouldn't spawn."
An RSPB spokesman said some of its reserves had benefited from the rain. "At Otmoor reserve in Oxfordshire, higher water levels there have allowed the reed bed to become much wetter, which should benefit many birds like bitterns, so if they nest this season they will stand a better chace. In the Somerset levels and moors, according to the warden, ground conditions are much better than if the dry weather had continued. There's no reason now that birds like snipe, redshanks and lapwings there shouldn't have a successful summer."
River flows have also increased and helped clear sediment, which is good news for fish generally, in particular spawning lampreys, an eel-like jawless fish. "At least those rivers where low flows were causing major problems for wildlife through low oxygen levels will be much healthier," said Miles King, director of conservation at wildlife charity the Grasslands Trust.
But in some parts of the country the heavy rains have brought problems for wildlife, with hundreds of bird nests at four RSPB nature reserves drowned by severe flooding. Its Ouse Washes reserve in Cambridgeshire, which is used as a flood relief site by the Environment Agency for the swollen River Great Ouse, is 2 metres under water, with an estimated 600 wading birds' nests drowned. Lowland snipe, a wading bird with a long straight bill, have been particularly badly hit.
Jon Reeves, site manager at the RSPB's Ouse Washes reserve, said: "Following centuries of land drainage across the UK, the Ouse Washes is now the most important stronghold for these birds, after they have been largely forced out of other sites. Literally, we have all our eggs in one basket and we've lost them. It's devastating to watch the nests succumb to the rising waters without being able to do anything to prevent it."
Other RSPB reserves affected include Minsmere, on the Suffolk coast, Fairburn Ings, near Leeds, and Pulborough Brooks, in West Sussex.
"The huge amount of water coming onto the site in the last week has changed things dramatically [with ducks coming in that would normally visit in winter] ... Water levels are now subsiding and we are hoping the weather calms down a bit to give the many ground nesting birds on site another chance," said Pete Hughes, RPSB warden at Pulborough Brooks.
The Environment Agency spokesman added: "Nesting birds have been badly affected [by the rain], particularly in southern England, and it's quite cold at the moment too, which could see chicks die."
While river flows are back to normal levels, groundwater levels have started to move back up but are still low for this time of year, said the agency in an update on Friday. The vast majority of England remains in drought, with many regions in the south and east under hosepipe bans that are forecast to stay in place until the end of the year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the final conference match of the season, the MIT women's tennis team kept its record perfect with a 9-0 victory over Smith College at the DuPont Tennis courts this afternoon. With the win MIT claimed both the regular season conference championship and the No. 1 seed in next week's NEWMAC Women's Tennis Tournament.
MIT (8-1, 7-0 NEWMAC) took a quick 2-0 lead in the match with quick victories at both No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, surrendering just one game combined in the two matches. A battle developed in the No. 3 match, however, as the MIT team of senior Caitlin Pomeroy (Cape Elizabeth, Maine.) and freshman Choah Kim (Belmont, Mass.) battled the Smith team of sophomores Seema Samawi (Damascus, Syria.) and Andrea Tanco (Veracruz, Mexico). After a tight battle the Engineer team finally prevailed by an 8-6 margin to complete the sweep of the doubles matches.
MIT wrapped up the team decision with identical 6-0, 6-0 wins in the first two singles matches decided. Freshman Victoria Tam (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.) picked up the first singles point, defeating Samawi in the No. 3 match before sophomore Vynnie Kong (Cupertino, Calif.) scored the fifth and deciding point with her victory over sophomore Jordan Dubin (Southampton, N.Y.).
Two other matches were also decided by 6-0, 6-0 scores, with junior Lauren Quisenberry (Corpus Christi, Texas) blanking her opponent in the No. 1 match and freshman Alana Peters (Kenilworth, Ill.) doing the same in the No. 5 contest. Freshman Iris Zhuang (Allen, Texas) delivered a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 4 for the Engineers.
Smith (0-7, 0-7 NEWMAC) put up a strong battle in the final match to be decided at No. 6. Pomeroy and freshman Victoria von Saucken (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) wound up going to a tie break in the first set, with Pomeroy persevering, 7-6 (5). Pomeroy then went on to take the final set, 6-3, to complete the MIT sweep.
With the win MIT clinched the No. 1 seed at next week's NEWMAC Women's Tennis Championship that will be hosted by Wheaton College. The Engineers will play the winner of the matchup between the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds on Saturday, October 27 at 12:00 p.m.

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by Dead Air Dave, Jan 23, 2013.
Hahaha 6 hours for this?
What's monday? Jason's clip of the week? Ronnies clip of the week?
It's ridiculous.
Hein's fast food meal deal of the week? Ronnie's driving tip of the week? Ralphie's grooming tip of the week?
These clips used to be fun before the internet.
Anyone who surfs the net on a regular basis hears these clips weeks before they make it on air at thss
I read up the summary on mark's.... holy shit... the show is absofuckinglutely TERRIBLE now! I didn't see one thing in the summary that made me wanna listen to repeat. I'm so glad I quit listening in 2013 so I don't waste more of my life on this shit.
After 6 hours of "writer's meeting", this is the best shit they could come up with? Howard should just fire all of his writing team because they're shit.
They had a new opera song parody as well!
There Israeli a clip of the week?
My biggest problem with this is that he calls it "clip of the week" when they only work three day - MAX!
Lisa G clip of the week
Shuli's clip of the week was a voicemail from Debbie screaming at him.
Fucking riveting radio.
I urge you to do what I did and just stop listening,the show is a shell of it's old self. Howard during his interview with the lady from "Girls" he said he hates that everyone is so PC,yet that's exactly what he has become. He's trying to keep apple pie America interested in AGT. I hope it tanks worse than anything on television.
by bringing in Shuli he can also milk the audio clips for even more airtime
Shuli seems to have stolen the Voice Mail messages bit from Jay Thomas' show. Pretty shitty way to treat Jay after all he did for Shuli.
A tiny portion of it was decent- Jeff the Drunk- don't know why I find him so hilarious, I just do....he rarely gets thru on the phone, so his VM's collected from Shuli are a plus.
They could use a 5 second clip of Debbie to fake all her conversations and I wouldn't notice the difference.

Work in Progress
More than most terms, I noticed some of my students' creativity. For instance, one wrote of a gospel song called "Go Down Mosses". Another wrote that, "Without a patriarchal society, women could have voted from the gecko."
Their creativity, and my brain's fizzlement, seems have had an effect on me. I spent the morning today working on a new short story about a hapless man who gives a lecture about colonial New Hampshire history, a subject about which he knows little. It includes these paragraphs...
The Indians weren't nearly as good at agriculture as the Europeans would eventually prove to be, so they had to move around a lot. One day, while moving around, the Indians saw some strange white-skinned creatures. The white-skinned creatures made weird sounds with their mouths and smelled funny. They seemed pretty helpless, frankly.
Looks can be deceiving, as they say. (The Europeans say. I don't know if Indians ever said, "Looks can be deceiving." The very British W.S. Gilbert once wrote, "Things are seldom what they seem. Skim milk masquerades as cream." I doubt the Indians were very concerned with whether their skim milk was pretending to be cream or not. It was a big deal for the British, who once, in 1859, were on the verge of war because of it, but by that point most of the Indians had been killed, and any Indian you found probably would have been perfectly happy with either skim milk or cream, or anything else with a few calories or a bit of nourishment. It wasn't like the dairy farms of New England were owned by an Indian cartel. It wasn't like anything in New England was owned by Indians. They don't actually believe in owning things, which was very convenient for the Europeans, who did believe in owning things, and so they came here to a place where nothing was owned, and they staked their claim. And so the Indians couldn't own New England. And we see that in the, to descend into academic jargon for a moment, nomenclature. Lakes and mountains and rivers were given Indian names, but New England is New England.)
In the beginning, the British European people were very nice to the people who were already here. They introduced the Indians to tea and cricket and the BBC and other jolly good things. They said "tut tut" and "pip pip" and "cheerio" and the Indians thought they were very funny, even droll. The Indians decided the British European people had been sent as entertainment, and perhaps what they did was float around the world in their giant wooden contraptions and amuse folks who had more difficult lives. The British said things like, "You know, old boy, it's a good thing we're not Flemish. The Flems have gone a bit overboard in some of their encounters with heathens. Take the Congo for instance. Nasty business, that. Chopping off hands. Decapitation. No, it won't do. Very good you got us, I'd say. Oh no no no, old boy -- put the milk into the cup first, then pour the tea."
Most of the Indians couldn't speak English, and so what they heard were just funny noises -- so funny, in fact, that the Indians laughed too hard and spilled their tea and the British were forced to kill them.
Thus, the Indians learned not to laugh. You can see the legacy of this lesson if you visit a cigar store, where the Indian doorman never laughs.

Peanut varieties coming out of the University of Georgia breeding program are focused on increased dollar value, yield, grade, multiple-disease resistance, improved shelling characteristics, longer shelf-life and enhanced flavor, says Bill Branch, peanut breeder.
"Peanut breeding is a long-term commitment which normally takes 10 years to develop a new variety," Branch says. Recently, the University of Georgia Peanut Breeding Program has released seven new varieties.
Released in 1995, Georgia Green has very good resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus. It is highly productive and performs well in many different environments. It has TSWV resistance comparable to Florida MDR 98, C-99R, ViruGard and Southern Runner. Under heavy TSWV pressure in 2002, it had the highest yield, grade and dollar values than all other runner-type peanut varieties.
Georgia Hi-O/L is a large-seeded variety released in 1999 that combines the high-oleic trait with high yield and TSWV resistance. It has high oleic and low linoleic fatty acid ratio for improved oil quality and also has a good level of resistance to TSWV.
Georgia-01R, a multiple pest resistance runner, was released in 2001. It has shown good resistance to TSWV, early and late leafspot, stem rot, Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) and leafhoppers. It is in the late-maturity group of peanut varieties. Under recommended or reduced pesticide scenarios, Georgia-01R had higher yields, grade and dollar value return per acre than C-99R, DP-1 and Hull.
Georgia-02C is a new high-oleic runner released in 2002. It has similar maturity as Georgia Green, with slightly larger seed and pod size. It has the high-oleic characteristic and spreading growth habit similar to the AgraTech 201 variety. Georgia-02C also has excellent resistance to TSWV and CBR.
Georgia Browne was developed for the confectionary market in 1993. It has pod and seed size similar to Spanish types. In test over the past 10 years, the variety has outperformed leading Spanish types in yield, grade and dollar value per acre.
Georgia Valencia and Georgia Red are Valencia-type varieties for the fresh market.
Both varieties offer high yields, large-fruit size and compact bunch growth habit. Over the past seven years, Georgia Valencia and Georgia Red have had higher yields, grades and dollar values compared to Valencia McRan, New Mexico Valencia C and New Mexico Valencia A. Georgia Valencia and Georgia Red also have better disease tolerance than the other Valencia varieties.

Wolves' Saunders Reportedly Turns Down Swap For Love
Flip Saunders was reportedly offered the #1 pick in the NBA Draft along with Deion Waiters and Tristan Thompson from the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kevin Love. Saunders did not accept the offer.
Waiters, a rookie in 2012-13 out of Syracuse, averaged 14.7 PPG for the Cavaliers on 41% shooting.
Thompson was a second-year player last season who averaged 11.7 PPG and over nine rebounds per game. The 6'9", 227 lb forward attended college at Texas.

The Quail is a gathering of not only wonderful, rare and exotic cars but also the biggest and sometimes the most famous car enthusiasts. Expect to see Jay Leno roaming the field and don't be surprised if you run into other automotive T.V. or racing celebrities.
But no one can quite compare to one special guest who was at the center of Alain de Cadenet's automotive interview series that takes place at Quail each year. This year we had the privilege and honor to see and speak with the seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher.
After over 20 minutes of questions from de Cadenet we were next in line. We asked what advice he would give to young aspiring drivers. He responded:
"Explore the world of motorsport and go with go-karts first. Then you see if the boy, or girl, there is no reason why a girl can't also drive, is motivated and has a passion for it. That is most important, because whatever you do in life you've got to have passion for it."
We then asked if he had an idol in motor racing, which he responded with: "No, actually. When I was young my idol was actually a soccer player. At that point I wasn't so focused on becoming a Formula 1 driver. Soccer and Judo was what I was into."
I always doubt myself. Because as soon as you start to think you are better than everyone else is the moment you lose.
Although our time was up we did take special note of a question he was asked. Asking the reasoning behind his first retirement, either from lack of speed or self-doubt, Michael replied, "I always doubt myself. Because as soon as you start to think you are better than everyone else is the moment you lose."
Being able to be as close as we were to the seven-time world champion was an experience in itself. And when we had the opportunity to ask him questions we thought how anything could be better. Well, better it got, because Michael Schumacher himself autographed a slip of paper out of your author's notebook.
Life goal fulfilled. Check.

Difference between revisions of "Birth Control and Contraception"
m (→Hormonal Contraceptives)
(→Bibliography: added book and comments)
(No difference)
Revision as of 01:45, January 4, 2006
Contraception is the term used to describe an intentional prevention of the conception of a child. This term may also be used to describe the intentional prevention of pregnancy, which may be defined differently from conception.
Until about 1970, Orthodox churches generally opposed the use of contraception. Since that time a "new consensus" has emerged, not just in America. This new view basically holds that contraception is acceptable within a Christian marriage if:
- 1) the means of contraception is not abortifacient,
- 2) if it is used with the blessing of one's spiritual father, and
- 3) if children are not completely excluded from the marriage.
The statement on marriage and family from the 10th All-American Council of the Orthodox Church in America follows along these lines:
This "new consensus" has not gone unchallenged. Some teach that intercourse within marriage should be for procreation only. Others hold a view somewhat similar to the Roman Catholic position, which would allow family planning in principle, i.e., Natural Family Planning, while at the same time opposing contraception—many Orthodox hierarchs and theologians from around the world lauded Humanae Vitae when it was issued. A few think the "new consensus" position is too conservative and more freely allow contraception.
Many people, on all sides, believe that this change in thinking on this issue of contraception has not received adequate examination. Too often it has become tied up in identity politics, with various groups accusing the other of western influence. It is true that this discussion is closely related to a number of complex issues that have not fully been addressed in Orthodox theology. Roman Catholics are sometimes bewildered by how the Orthodox Church could allow such a change in teaching. One might respond by saying that the dynamics of the Orthodox tradition function much differently than Rome's, and that this issue must be worked through in a manner quite different from a magisterial decree.
Methods of family planning can be broken down into five categories: Natural Family Planning, withdrawal, barrier contraceptives, hormonal contraceptives, and sterilization. A distinction is implicit here between birth control or family planning and contraception. Whereas the former terms may include all five categories, "contraception" is usually reserved for those methods which more directly inhibit or act against conception.
Natural Family Planning
Even many people who accept the "new consensus" position as outlines above think that Natural Family Planning (NFP) is superior to contraception. It is often said that the dynamics of NFP (similar to the fasts of the Church) serve as a kind of catechesis for marital sexuality, emphasizing the need for self-control and honoring God-given fertility while at the same time recognizing the need for intimacy and allowing for a responsible family planning. NFP is also useful for couples having difficulty conceiving. Additionally, because of the awareness of the woman's cycle that it brings it can also help a woman spot health risks manifested through irregularities in the cycle.
Modern methods of Natural Family Planning differ greatly from the old "rhythm" method, which worked by marking days on a calendar and required a regular cycle length to be effective. NFP can be used by women with irregular cycles, as well as by women who are breastfeeding or pre-menopausal. With proper use, NFP is as effective as the Pill.
Besides being ineffective, methods of withdrawl have traditionally been opposed by the Church as over-indulgence of the flesh.

Gov Mead Signs Human Trafficking Prevention Proclamation
Governor Matt Mead has declared January as slavery and human trafficking prevention month in the state. Last year Wyoming became the last state to pass a human trafficking law. Governor Mead says the law now gives the state a new tool to fight these types of crimes in Wyoming. He says Wyoming officials can now respond directly to local instances of human trafficking instead of relying solely on the federal government to identify and prosecute such cases, decreasing instances of both labor and sex trafficking falling through the gaps.
Cara Chambers, Director of the Division of Victims Services in the Wyoming Attorney General's office says the law is also one of the few in the country to provide strong legal protections and support for survivors of human trafficking. Two cases of human trafficking have been prosecuted in Wyoming by federal prosecutors in the last five years, and Victim Services providers have reported working with human trafficking victims across the state.

Pirates post late rally to get Liriano off hook
PITTSBURGH -- Jordy Mercer was in a major funk. His batting average was .151. His slugging percentage was only a few points higher. Some people wanted to see him batting ninth, under normal circumstances. Others wanted him out of the lineup in favor of a DH, in Interleague road games.
In the seventh inning Saturday night at PNC Park, Mercer was also in the batter's box, sent up in a pinch to face Toronto reliever Aaron Loup with the Pirates on the fight back from an early deficit but still down by two runs.View Full Game Coverage
PITTSBURGH -- Jordy Mercer was in a major funk. His batting average was .151. His slugging percentage was only a few points higher. Some people wanted to see him batting ninth, under normal circumstances. Others wanted him out of the lineup in favor of a DH, in Interleague road games.
In the seventh inning Saturday night at PNC Park, Mercer was also in the batter's box, sent up in a pinch to face Toronto reliever Aaron Loup with the Pirates on the fight back from an early deficit but still down by two runs.View Full Game Coverage
Mercer had spent the first month of the season collecting chits from teammates and coaches who "always have my back." It was time for payback.
And pay back the confidence he did, drilling a two-run double to deep center that tied the game at 6 an inning before his double-play partner, Neil Walker, untied it with his own two-run double for an 8-6 triumph in front of a PNC Park house of 31,439.
"Oh, what a great hit," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Those are the moments … why you play the game. A big hit from Jordy. Nice swing of the bat."
Mercer was the unrivaled toast of the winners' locker room, although it obviously housed many contributors.
Newly recalled Jared Hughes and Vin Mazzaro picked up a short-term Francisco Liriano (3 2/3 innings) with 2 1/3 effective innings between them. Jeanmar Gomez and Bryan Morris each put up a zero -- the latter to earn his third win, or as many as the combined total of the Pirates' starting rotation. Mark Melancon converted a save opportunity -- the team's first in two weeks.
"Lot of meaningful things done tonight," Hurdle said.
None more so than Mercer's blow.
"Neil's was pretty big, too," Mercer said.
But Mercer's hit "was probably more key than any of the other hits," Walker said. "I was really happy for him. He's been grinding hard out there, and has been doing a real good job of not panicking -- and not listening to what everybody's been telling him. He's doing just fine, and tonight was his justice, coming off the bench and getting an absolutely huge hit."
The hit was a centerpiece of another comeback against the porous Toronto bullpen, which seems to match up well with the Pirates' rope-a-dope tendencies. The Bucs hung with perplexing knuckleballer R.A. Dickey close enough to roar back against Toronto relievers to post wins on consecutive days for the first time this season. Twice earlier they had won consecutive games, but with an off-day between them each time.
Next time Blue Jays manager John Gibbons needs a relief pitcher, the guys in his bullpen may be drawing straws, to see who gets the short one.
"I'm sure they don't want to hear that phone ring, I'll tell you that," Gibbons said. "It's kind of the way it's been going. But it's a long season, there's a lot left, we have to regroup."
Icing the comeback from deficits of 5-0 and 6-2, Walker hit the go-ahead double in the eighth off Todd Redmond, cashing in Ike Davis' infield single with one away and Josh Harrison's outfield single.
Dickey was still on the mound when the seventh inning began, but he took his leave following Clint Barmes' leadoff double. At least mentally, the Pirates may have been applauding Dickey's departure.
"[Dickey] is a quality pitcher, an All-Star, won 20 games in the big leagues -- and he was on tonight," Hurdle said. "So as soon as he's out, it's just better. It's no knock on anybody else, but it's going to be different. Anything else, we felt like we had a better chance with."
The Pirates' respite came against the lefty Loup, who entered to retire Davis but stayed in to give up an RBI double to Harrison, a single to Walker and a walk to Andrew McCutchen that loaded the bases. Pedro Alvarez grounded out to bring in another run -- and to bring up Mercer for the dramatic knock that was only his second extra-base hit this year and doubled his previous RBI output.
Liriano could not make it through the fourth as he remained without a win for a 10th straight regular-season start going back to last year. Even more remarkable is that his record does not stick out on a rotation going through an amazing dry spell. Charlie Morton has 11 consecutive starts without a win, and, if rightfully considered the fifth member of the current rotation, injured lefty Wandy Rodriguez has not won since late last May.
Run support has been an issue for Pittsburgh's starters. Liriano, for instance, has received five runs in the 37 2/3 innings he has been on the mound. Saturday night, he didn't get defensive support, either.
Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the third, after Steve Tolleson had begun the inning by striking out on a breaking pitch in the dirt, yet reached when catcher Tony Sanchez's toss for the putout at first base sailed into foul territory. Tolleson eventually got thrown out at home trying to score on a hit to Starling Marte by Josh Thole -- who was soon scoring on a Jose Reyes double.
The Blue Jays' four-run fourth unfolded like something imagined by Andy Warhol. Marte got turned the wrong way on a Brett Lawrie liner that did not even reach the warning track but found grass for an RBI double, then Colby Rasmus dropped an RBI single into right. Tolleson's double-play grounder brought in a run to make it 4-0, clearing the bases.
And the Blue Jays reloaded: Thole beat out a grounder deep into the second-base hole for an infield single -- the Pirates challenged the call, which stood -- and shortstop Barmes' boot of Dickey's grounder kept the inning alive for consecutive walks of Reyes and Melky Cabrera to force in another run to make it 5-0.
The Bucs answered in the bottom of that inning, loading the bases with one out on singles by Alvarez and Sanchez around a Gaby Sanchez walk. Two runs scored during Barmes' at-bat: One on a wild pitch, another on Barmes' groundout to third.
Mazzaro's season debut with the Bucs had been marred only by Jose Bautista's solo home run in the sixth. That long ball came with a neat subplot, of course. It was Bautista's 23rd home run at PNC Park -- and the first struck in a visitor's uniform. The former Pirates player hit 176 home runs between trots on the bank of the Allegheny.

Sept. 8, 2008
Cambridge, Mass. - The MIT water polo team had a disappointing start to its 2008 campaign, dropping all four of its contests at the Navy Open in Annapolis over the weekend. The Engineers fell to the Naval Academy's "B" squad, 14-6, and Mercyhurst, 11-9, on Saturday, before losing to Johns Hopkins, 10-7, and George Washington, 7-5, on Sunday. Mike Smith-Bronstein led all MIT (0-4) scorers, with seven goals in the four games.
The Midshipmen's "B" team got off to a quick start on Saturday morning, opening up a 9-4 lead after two quarters, before going on to win by the final, eight-goal margin. Mark Artz had a pair of goals for MIT, which got one goal contributions from four other scorers, including Smith-Bronstein, Matt Perkins, John Preis, and Matt Chapa. The Engineers were only able to take advantage of two of their nine man-up opportunities, while Navy converted all three such chances.
In their second game on Saturday, MIT spotted Mercyhurst a 6-2 halftime advantage and were unable to battle back despite five goals in the final period. Smith-Bronstein and Palmer Rosemond recorded hat tricks for the Engineers, while Artz, Brian Gardiner and Devin Lewis also found the back of the net.
MIT looked to bounce back on Sunday versus Johns Hopkins but were unable to get a win, despite a pair of tallies each from Smith-Bronstein, Lewis and Preis. Junior goalkeeper Nick Souza had six saves in the losing effort.
In their final contest of the weekend, the Engineers matched George Washington with three goals in the first-half, before finally falling 7-5 to end the tournament with their fourth loss. Perkins had a pair of goals and Smith-Bronstein, Souza and Chapa rounded out the scoring for Tech. Freshman goalkeeper Columbus Leonard had nine saves in the contest, but was bested by his Colonials' counterpart Craig Merlin, who recorded 14 stops.
MIT will be back in action this weekend, as they host their own Invitational, starting Friday, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. against Washington & Jefferson. The Engineers will also host Boston College, Cal Baptist and Boston University in the tournament.

In Memoriam of Satoshi Kon
R.I.P. Satoshi Kon-san
Poor guy! He is in a better life.
I was talking to some friends that take granted for shit. or demand people to make more. Anime or Manag or video games.
They are like us.
Boku No Hero Academia is Here!
Frankly I didn't know the guy. Nor have I seen anything he made. But since this is dedicated to his death. I guess I'll take the chance to check out his work. Sounds like people really enjoyed them.
I have returned!
Rest in peace, Satoshi Kon. May God thank you for your existence; and may the humans on this planet acknowledge your efforts.
moving~ 29/08/14
Rest in Peace, Satoshi Kon x
drawing so may not reply
Wow, I didn't know til now. Makes me step back and grip my hands.
I cannot change my picture unless I prefer to have small,small ones!
Paranoia Agent was a mind blowing piece. Thank You for all of the great work, you're legendary because of it! Rest In Peace, we'll never forget ya!
Its seems like its been a long time, since I first said hello
R.I.P Satoshi Kon <333
that days is was my birthday *sorry i did make party* forgisnese please RIP with all my respect
<------------------------ my pervert side :DDDDD
Great. When it rains, it pours, apparently.
I lost my step-father (for all intents and purposes, he was the man that acted as my father) on October 19th of this year, to cancer of indeterminate origin, though the doctors suspect it was pancreatic cancer which metastasized aggressively. He was diagnosed in late July, when the cancer was at Stage 4 and untreatable with anything other than pain medication. We thought we'd have about 6-9 months with him. It turned out that we had less than three. That the anime world has also lost such a great director (I've seen most of his works and loved each of them - I own several outright and was thankful to see Tokyo Godfathers on the Auraria Campus Theater when it rolled through Denver) to the same fate is tragic. Pancreatic cancer is brutal and has less than a 5% survival rate, due to how it presents itself and how slowly it progresses, up until the point where it becomes untreatable. By the time a victim finds out they have it, it's usually at too late a stage to do anything about it. More research into this killer might yield better tests for it at an early stage, when treatment options are more likely to have a positive outcome for the patient. As it is, because it is a 'non-sexy' form of cancer and because its survival rate is so low, it does not have the advocacy that, say, breast cancer has. Advocacy = research dollars and for too long, investigation into this form of cancer has taken a back seat, even though the death rate from pancreatic cancer is much higher in proportion to the number of cases of the illness than other forms of cancer. My heart goes out to Satoshi Kon's family for their loss and I would encourage Crunchyroll's members to follow #3 on keikawa's list: donate to pancreatic cancer research in the name of this wonderful director. Or my father, as he also was a good man taken from his family too soon.
Nice try, you little shits. Start paying for your anime like the rest of us.
Awww thats sad.
Takeshi Shudo, creator of Pokemon died today. =[
RIP Satoshi Kon.
Also Takeshi Shudo, who died of a brain hemorrhage.
No...I am so sad. I just watched Tokyo Godfathers for the very first time yesterday, and I have loved Paprika since it came out. Millenium Actress? Cried so much, and watched multiple times. I am so sad, and he was too young to die! I bought Tokyo Godfathers, I hope his family will get over this loss the best they can, and will be able to enjoy his last movie.
Loving 30 Day Free Trial ;)
Thank You for the amazing work and RIP.
Paprika is one of the most amazing anime movies I have ever watched.

Ross Pruden points us to a neat little graphic that Mediaweek put together, highlighting all of News Corps.' internet failures over the years (pdf) as it gets ready to launch its iPad only publication called The Daily. If you look at the image (or click it to go to the original Mediaweek pdf), you begin to sense a pattern:
The downfall in almost every case is about Murdoch focusing on using the internet as mainly a broadcast medium, rather than a communications medium. Delphi was all about community... and then News Corp. tried to turn it into a place to sell his magazines and newspapers. Fox Interactive was all about pushing content, and had little community. MySpace, of all things, which was really about community from the beginning, has completely faltered under News Corps' control, because they tried to focus on using it to sell music and stopped investing in any sort of real community features -- as services like Facebook and Twitter totally leapfrogged them on that front. It's the same story over and over again, and given that The Daily is so focused on platform, rather than users, it seems likely to be a repeat of the same mistake all over again.

Re:So, the size of the man's fortune - largely made before the internet and the failures that are being criticised - should shield him from all criticism? We shouldn't comment on his modern-day failures because he has a large bank account? Sycophants like you are the reason that many a tycoon's fortune has been lost.

You would love to fail like him, huh? Will you still feel that way in 20 years when his empire has crumbled around him and his failures have bankrupted his family? Would you love to be remembered as a dinosaur of a previous age who utterly failed to respond to the world changing around him? Would you love to be the 'riches to rags' failure story of the 21st century?
All of these things will happen, and Rupert Murdoch will be viewed as a total, complete failure. History will not be kind to him, not would it be to you, if you were worth remembering.

blah blah blahI love how the first commenter cannot refute anything in the PDF. 'Well he is richer than you so Nah nah nah.' Truth be told this will become a classic case study on how his empire was slowly eroded away by a huge uncontrollable information distribution medium called the internet. How misstep after misstep lead to there current position.
Mr. Murdoch kicked a lot of people's asses in business to get where he is today and there is a real story there. Unfortunately for him the world that he thrived in went digital, unless something drastically, I don't think news corp will ever reach the level of readership and influence it had previously enjoyed.

Running a biased news organization you can not allow community. Community is about communication, his news organization is about spoon feeding information and not allowing any discenting voices to prove the opinions expressed as fact as wrong.

Aren't all news organizations like this?
Hephaestus (profile), 21 Dec 2010 @ 10:54am
Re: Re:"Aren't all news organizations like this?"
Yes they are, and they just don't get the community piece. Which is why the 14-28 year olds are all getting their news from face book, news reader, and the like and ignoring newspapers and old school news.
In two years the 14-28 year old crowd will be the 14-32 crowd, the age range is expanding faster than people age, and it is accelerating. So unless the old school news organizations adapt they will fail in the next 10 years.
Re: Re: Re:I'm 35 and I can't remember the last time I bought a newspaper for any other reason than to get the free DVD/CD/book that's packaged with it on occasion. I probably wouldn't even bother with TV or radio news if they didn't make a handy thing to put on in the background while driving or doing housework. Even then, I wouldn't bother if Murdoch's brand of "news" was the only thing out there...

Re: Re: Re: Re:"I'm 35 and I can't remember the last time I bought a newspaper for any other reason than to get the free DVD/CD/book that's packaged with it on occasion."
Whats really neat is the fact that the content industries (record labels, studios, newspapers, etc) state that the 14-28 years old crowd don't buy their stuff any more. The true story is that it is a set of curves where the majority in the 14-28 yr olds don't. Techdirt had a great chart showing the trend for cellphones.
Personally I have bought 4 newspapers in the past 5 years. I used them as drop cloths when painting. The only part I read were the comics ...

Murdoch can't blow through his money fast enough.If only he'd go bankrupt already, so FoxNews (and every single one of its "unbiased" news facilities) would shut down forever and give people who view this trash an attempt at re-wiring their brain's ability to think, rather than grumble.
Dear Rupert (and all the sons), if you're *really* interested in just throwing your money away, I've about 10,000 ideas (costing $100 million each) which is sure to please and boost those magazine and newspaper circulars (outdated in the 80s...1880s).

rosspruden (profile), 21 Dec 2010 @ 11:13am
Countless failure? Or multi-step success?It feels... well, petty to criticize Murdoch for all his failures because the road to success is often derived from constant experimentation and failure. Someone once asked a scientist how they handled the 400+ failures they'd had before they created a vaccine that finally worked. Their response? "I don't see them as 400+ failures�I see it all as one success with 400+ steps."
This is the right lens to look at failure�a lesson from which we can make a critical course correction. Obviously, new business ventures must always mitigate failure, but if it happens, a thorough post mortem is often more informative than an outrageous success story. The difference between Murdoch and the people behind Yipit is a low cost investment to determine if the idea will be a success or a failure. Murdoch lays a lot on the line before the venture is adequately judged in the marketplace. Yipit knew in three days if their business was viable with users. Murdoch has had the luxury to spend millions of dollars before he can determine failure, but few people have such a luxury.
Having said that, there does seem to be a significant pattern to the kind of failures of Murdoch's endeavors, and Mike has pinpointed it. This is no longer a Read-Only world as Murdoch would like it to be, but a Read-Write world. Why did the powerhouse Myspace social network suddenly wither while newcomer Facebook explode?
Let's look more closely at Myspace vs. Facebook. Myspace had ads galore. Myspace had horrendous programming glitches. Myspace was slow. Myspace let users add so much junk (big images, sound files, horrible page and text coloring) to their personal pages that it often became a illegible mish-mash.
Facebook, though it has repeatedly invoked the wrath of its users for revamping its overall design too quickly, the end result is a cleaner and more stable platform. Ads are fewer and less egregious, but also more customized to the user�I have many times clicked on Facebook's ads because they offer something of interest to me; I never clicked once on any ostentatious Myspace ads.
My decision to jump from Myspace to Facebook was not taken lightly: I had invested time in acquiring over 300 "friends" so I had no desire to see all that time as a sunk cost. But the Myspace platform had been offering less value to me as a user... and the Facebook platform has only been offering more value to me as a user. Myspace was trending downward, Facebook upward.
So there is indeed a pattern to Murdoch's failure, as Mike suggests. Murdoch, a fine representative of the broadcast-only Old Guard, should swallow the pill and hand the reins over to his daughter who seems to have a more adaptive understanding of how social networks have introduced an irreversible interactive element to all media. Murdoch has had success from his previous ventures, but if he continues to ignore what the users now value (i.e., interactivity, quality web coding, targeted ads, sharabiility), we will continue to see his business ventures be outfoxed by faster and more insightful competitors like Mark Zuckerberg.

Couple huge problems ...
Bureaucracy at a corporation like news corp is very slow to change and will fight tooth and nail to prevent it.
Web based organizations are highly efficient, news corp isn't, translating to the web would require the loss of 90% of the staff. A perfect example is Craiglist where less than 100 people handle the classified for an entire nation, where 10,000 (no citiation just a vague memory of the #) people used to be employed doing the same job.
Generic papers and news organizations are being replaced by person specific and targeted news. News that interests the individual without all the crap that doesn't interest them. I have 400 RSS feeds I follow all on very specific topics.
All in all it doesn't bode well for NewCorp. Its a long term short in my book.

The project researches the issues for allowing Australian Road Traffic Authorities to automatically capture road
traffic data, forecast traffic flows and smartly route traffic flows to avoid congestion on road networks. This will lead
to several benefits, such as (a) reducing traffic congestion, shorten travel time and lower pollution, (b) better
utilization of existing road infrastructure by diffusing traffic to alternate routes, (c) provide economic benefit by
allowing one to delay infrastructure expansion, (d) monitoring of aberrant behaviour by road users to ensure a safer
road environment, and (e) improved flexibility in deployment of the Wireless Sensor Network to meet the needs of
the road authorities and community.

A bill that would allow religious and political student organizations in public institutions to choose their own standards for membership continues to make its way through the Virginia Legislature.
Known as Senate Bill 1074, the proposed legislation would bar public educational institutions from determining the membership rules for religious and political student groups.
"Permits, to the extent allowed by law, religious or political student organizations at public institutions of higher education to determine that only persons committed to the organization's mission may conduct certain activities," reads the official summary of SB 1074.
"The bill also prohibits, to the extent allowed by law, public institutions of higher education from discriminating against a student organization that makes such a determination."
Robert L. Shibley, senior vice president for the student rights watchdog the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, told The Christian Post that his organization supports the legislation.
"FIRE wrote a letter to legislators in support of SB 1074 and generally supports state laws that guarantee belief-based student groups at public universities the right to make belief-based decisions about their membership and leadership," said Shibley.
"The lack of this right harms the ability of groups to express their views effectively on campus. For instance, Vanderbilt's 'all-comers' policy actually restricts religious student groups from requiring leaders to lead Bible studies or worship. This is absurd and serves students very poorly."
Shibley was referring to Vanderbilt University of Nashville, Tenn., which in 2010 opted to implement a controversial "all-comers" policy for its religious student organizations. The policy stated that all religious student groups had to accept as members any registered student at Vanderbilt, even if they did not subscribe to their beliefs.
In a statement given to The Christian Post last year by Vanderbilt Senior Public Affairs Officer Amy Wolf, campus officials maintained that the "all-comers" policy respects religious organizations.
"We believe all members of a registered student organization should be eligible to compete for leadership positions, but it is up to each student organization to select its own leaders," read the statement in part.
Sponsored by Va. State Senator Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg), SB 1074 passed the State Senate last week with a vote of 22 yeas to 18 nays. From there it went to the House of Delegates where it was referred to the House Committee on Education on Monday.
SB 1074 is not without its critics, as some progressive organizations have denounced the bill as advancing discrimination against the LGBT community.
Kevin Clay, spokesman for the pro-gay organization Equality Virginia, told the site Campus Progress that "excluding students from joining an organization is discrimination plain and simple, and the true impact is to be seen here."
Shibley of FIRE told CP that the issue over student organizations being allowed to determine who can and cannot join is a growing debate at the legislative and academic levels.
"We are aware of efforts in similar states to pass similar legislation. Ohio successfully passed such a law," said Shibley, "I believe efforts are also underway in Tennessee, where the governor vetoed such a bill last year."
"It is not yet common for colleges to adopt all-comers policies, but the numbers are growing. The entire California State University system has adopted such a policy. Tufts has adopted a modified version of such a policy, and SUNY Buffalo has adopted all-comers. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill considered such a policy, but ultimately rejected it."

Microsoft aims management bundle at midsized users
System Center Essentials 2007 is a Windows manageability package ready for public beta this fall. The features are targeted at midsized companies, but how about the price?
Microsoft is readying a security software and management package aimed directly at IT managers in midsized companies who are constantly stretched thin on time and staff. But whether these busy managers can take advantage of Microsoft's targeted offering will largely depend on its price.
The Microsoft package, called System Center Essentials 2007, will go into public beta this fall and is expected to be available in mid-2007. Introduced last November, the software includes in one package the capabilities of System Center Operations Manager, Reporting Server and Windows Server Update Services -- or WSUS -- with a single console for viewing and unified reporting that checks the status of the IT environment.
The company designed the package to complement the previously announced Centro that offers technology built on Windows Longhorn Server, Exchange Server 2007 and security technologies. Centro ships sometime after Windows Longhorn becomes available in late 2007.
Both of these packages target IT departments of midsized companies where managers often need to be jacks-of-all-trade, handling security, applications, email and more. In midsized companies, which have between 50 and 500 networked computers, computing resources scattered throughout headquarters and branch offices raise a number of management challenges. Those include troubleshooting throughout the network and keeping everything secure -- from servers to desktops. Staying within budget is also a challenge.
Rick Vadgama, director of IT at software company eCopy Inc., in Nashua, N.H., knows those challenges all too well. He arrived at the document-management software company a year ago when there were five IT employees. "It was a company of $50 million to $60 million in revenues, but it had the IT staff of a company that was doing $5 million or $6 million," Vadgama said.
After successfully pitching a plan for more people and better infrastructure based on estimated downtime and outages, Vadgama now has 10 employees and several contractors, freeing two of his workers to concentrate mostly on the network. He shifted other work like the phones and help desk work to some of the newer members of his IT staff.
Instead of paring down an existing enterprise tool to suit a company like eCopy, Microsoft combined existing products in a bundle aimed specifically at midsized companies. Microsoft studied midmarket sized companies for up to two years before developing System Center Essentials, said Eric Berg, director of product management in the company's Windows Enterprise division. He said the ability to monitor everything from one console was an attractive feature to IT managers in companies of this size.
The IT department at eCopy is a subscriber to MSDN, a service provided by Microsoft in which its products can be tested out temporarily before purchasing them, so Vadgama said he will likely check out the package once the public beta is available.
But within small IT departments, sometimes there is no leader to advocate for better tools and make the necessary financial pitch to senior executives, who would approve such purchases, said Jon Collins, a principal IT analyst with Macehiter Ward-Dutton, a Cambridge, U.K.-based consulting firm. The idea behind System Center Essentials is good, but its price will ultimately determine whether it will sell well to this audience, he said.
IT managers agree it boils down to economics.
"[Windows manageability] isn't as much of an issue for us today because we are so small, but it's potentially something we can look at depending on the cost [of the bundle]," said Jason Bordun, an IT manager at Cape Cod Cooperative Bank in Yarmouthport, Mass.
For many midsized companies, the complexity of running a Windows Server and Active Directory environment is too much. Another IT administrator added that it's not possible anymore simply to deploy servers and then forget about them.
"It makes sense from a management standpoint, so as it rolls out maybe we should consider embracing the bundled product," said Greg August, director of management information systems at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Bethesda, Md., which has 78 offices nationwide and 650 employees. The foundation runs Microsoft's System Management Server. "It will be interesting to see how they price it."
