March 14 (The Sports Xchange) - Spurs 92, Mavericks 91
Tim Duncan had 28 points and 19 rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 92-91 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night at the AT&T Center.
Duncan was 12 of 20 from the field in recording his 13th double-double of the season.
The Spurs (50-16) have won 50 games in 14 consecutive seasons, an NBA record.
Gary Neal had 16 points coming off the bench, Kawhi Leonard added 12, and Tiago Splitter 10 rebounds as they started the first of a four game homestand.
The Spurs got their first season sweep of the Mavericks in 15 years. They have defeated the Mavs by a margin of 23 points in the three games, but this one was much closer.
They had a 13-point second half lead cut to one when Dirk Nowitzki hit a bucket with 28 seconds left to make it 92-91.
A Ginobili jumper bounced off the rim and gave the Mavericks the ball with eight seconds and one last opportunity to for a victory, but a Vince Carter 3-point attempt with a second to play bounced off the rim.

so i will share my screenshot where problem occurred and how ? How and why ans expecting from you!!!
first i cant start apache option in xampp software. but mySQL is on when i click but not Apache.. please look those screenshot and pleas help me to solved this case.
I cant install xampp software in my laptop win7 32bit
so i will share my screenshot where problem occurred and how ? How and why ans expecting from you!!!
First thing first: temporarily disable your firewall. You can re-enable it later, ensuring you are not blocking ports 80, 443, (Apache web server) or 3306 (MySQL).
You installed XAMPP outside of your Program Files folder, which is good.
Did you run XAMPP as administrator? In the Start Menu or on your desktop icon, right click on Xampp Control Panel and select "Run as administrator". XAMPP prefers to run with administrator privileges.
I am running XAMPP on Windows 7 64-bit. It looks like XAMPP should run fine on 32 bit.
Post your Apache error log. Hit the "logs" button and look at the error log to see if you can find out why Apache will not start. It may be something simple.
I will check back in 8 - 10 hours after I wake up and read the news.
i stopped my firewall but no result . also run as administrator.... please see my attachment and give me instruction ....
Try disabling User Account Control (part of Windows) as it may be interfering with how XAMP loads up
How can i disabling user account control ? How ?
I am not familiar with your drive setup. Do you have a C: drive? If so, is there a reason you installed it on D:? A quick search shows a few complaints of XAMPP not working when installed on a D: partition (and some say it does work). D: partitions are often reserved for backup files. Did you examine the Apache error log as I mentioned last night? Why don't you post the error log here so we can see it. Obscure any sensitive info if you need to.
Take a look at this for disabling User Account Control
Not running as administrator (which you say you are doing now) and having another program listening on port 80 are common causes for XAMPP not loading properly. In your XAMPP control panel on the Apache line, click the "Logs" button and select the error log and post it here. Also, you could try not only disabling your firewall, but your anti-virus software temporarily as well.
We can find out more if you post your error log.
yeah i am trying to folllow your instruction wait, i will known u tomorrow , but it seems too complicated..
suppose i am trying to follow your links its too complicated
and I am using broadband internet , i am not sure about port 80? How can i get it
In your picture:
See the "Logs" button on the right of the Apache row? Click that button, select Apache (error.log), and we can see what kind of errors Apache is throwing. Did you move the htdocs folder or many any other change to the configuration files?
If you think this is complicated try compiling a lamp stack from source on a windows machine then you will know the true struggle :/
You could try reinstalling xampp and see if the problem fixes itself. I ran into issues the last time I installed xampp but a reinstall did the trick.
i have idea ... we can use team viewer then u can solved my problem
its last message after reinstall..Xampp
ITs blank notepad.
I am waiting for your reply ...still its not working ..
I have been busy.
If you type 127.0.0.1 into your browser's address bar, do you get anything or just an error message?
If you installed XAMPP on your main hard drive, disabled your firewall software from interfering with communications (including the built-in Windows Firewall), and allowed XAMPP to run as administrator, it should work unless you made changes to the configuration files. The only other possibility I can think of is that there is another programming listening on port 80 and that is preventing Apache from binding on that port and causing it to shutdown immediately.
Let's look at what programs are listening on your ports and see if anything is listening on port 80. Go to your command line program. In Windows, you can go to Start Menu and in the search box type "cmd". Or you can go to Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. When you get your Command Prompt opened, type this command in it:
netstat -aon
That will list all active programs listening for connections and the ports they are listening on. Near the top of the output, look for something like this in the Local Address column:
If you see that line with the State column showing LISTENING, you already have a program listening on that port. If you do not see it, that is good because that cannot be the cause of your problem.
Other than a program already listening on port 80, I am out of ideas. I think that when XAMPP is setup you can choose to install Apache as a service. If you did that (and I do not know if you did), it would mean that Apache is already running as a service. If Apache is already installed as a service, it would show in the Services section of the Administrative Tools area of the Control Panel.
I am out of ideas. If that doesn't help, then try downloading XAMPP again and reinstalling to another folder on your main hard drive.
Try re-installing it at C:\
why struggling with the XAMP with windiws os. just try WAMP server and get everything fixed. though WAMP server has many relevant features of the XAMP server.

Column: Brewing Debt Ceiling Fight is Comically Tragic
PIERRE - Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner has signaled that he intends to force the President to agree to more spending cuts when next the debt ceiling needs to be raised, which should occur in May.
Never mind that the full brunt of the completely unnecessary sequester has yet to work its destructive magic on the economy; Republicans demand more needless pain. This time they say that they will settle for nothing less than cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. This is in keeping with the budget policy proposals made recently made by Rep. Paul Ryan. As a side note, if you really want to know how honest these guys are, that Ryan proposal eliminates all the benefits of Obamacare, but still keeps the tax portions in force; so there you go.
If the implications of the political game of chicken that Republicans are trying to force the country into weren't so tragic, the farcical nature of the whole charade would be laughable.
First, some basic macroeconomic facts; deficit spending by the government only matters when it takes up so much of the loanable funds that it raises interests rates and pushes private businesses out of borrowing the now costlier money. Deficit spending is a good thing when unemployment is high and interest rates are low, because those funds will either create jobs, or at the very least prevent some job loss.
Recently, the Federal Reserve Bank made clear it has no intention of raising interest rates from the essentially zero level they are currently at until unemployment falls to 6.5% or less, which they do not project to happen until at least 2015. What this means is that there is absolutely no sense in making cuts at this point, and there probably won't be for at least another couple of years, because only then will interest rates start squeaking up above zero. Right now all the cutting that has been happening steadily since 2010 is actually hurting the economy, which is evident in the more than 700,000 government jobs that have been lost during that time.
The worst part is the complete hypocrisy involved in this plan to cripple the economy and hang the blame on Obama. The debt ceiling was raised 18 times under Ronald Reagan with no controversy. The great Republican icon more than tripled the national debt during his tenure with his out of control military spending and voodoo economic policy. Not to be out done George W. Bush, already forgotten by Republicans, had the debt ceiling raised 7 times, again without any showdowns threatening to close down the government or have our national credit rating downgraded. Again, thanks to a fact impervious belief in the trickle-down hoax of tax cutting our way to prosperity, two wars put on the credit card, and the bloated give away to pharmaceutical companies known as Medicare part D, Dubya nearly doubled the national debt. Where was the outrage of all the Republican deficit hawks during those times?
Every time you hear someone going on about the supposed deficit crisis, remember that they are most likely just repeating the talking points they picked up by immersing themselves in the right-wing noise machine. This was never about debt or deficits, it was only ever about preventing Democrats from getting the credit when their policies resuscitated an economy broken by financial deregulation. Laugh at their nonsense and don't let them get away with it.

Housing construction in Stockton may remain nearly nonexistent over the next three years, experts say, even as they predict building activity will fully recover in other San Joaquin County communities.
Housing construction in Stockton may remain nearly nonexistent over the next three years, experts say, even as they predict building activity will fully recover in other San Joaquin County communities.
And while a housing industry executive calls for cuts in Stockton's building fees to stimulate residential building, city officials said a full review of the issue, including how fees could be used to reshape the city, will take place this spring.
John Beckman, executive officer of the Building Industry Association of the Delta, expects fewer than 200 homes a year to be built in Stockton over the next three years, even as the pace of construction rapidly recovers in neighboring cities.
"Stockton's going to get eclipsed," he said.
Beckman, based on conversations with home developers his organization represents, said construction activity will rebound, instead, primarily in Manteca and Lathrop, with strong activity also in Mountain House.
Jeffrey Michael, director of the Business Forecasting Center at University of the Pacific, expects San Joaquin County home construction to begin to rev up next year, forecasting more than 1,900 home and apartment starts, up from 1,100 this year. Housing activity will rise sharply again in 2014 to nearly 2,700 units and 3,600 homes and apartments by 2015, he forecast.
But he agrees that most of that growth will come outside Stockton.
"You're going to see most of that growth down in Mountain House and Manteca, and River Islands (in Lathrop is) coming on line," Michael said. "And maybe Lodi up a little bit from where it's been."
Beckman blames Stockton's high building fee structure for discouraging home building.
While city officials propose the City Council on Tuesday consider extending building fee reductions, first imposed in 2009, through 2013, Beckman wants them to go further.
He said Lodi recently slashed its building fees to about $15,000 per home. Manteca fees run $19,000 to $20,000, while Stockton's charges about $35,000 per house.
"The picture is Stockton is grossly overcharging for their fees if you compare them city by city to the other cities," Beckman said.
But what works for Lodi or Manteca may not work for Stockton, said Steve Chase, Stockton's community development director
"We have prevailing problems, as it relates to growth, of where growth occurs and how growth is paid for across the region," he said. "Each community decides its own fate."
His department is working on an analysis of Stockton building fees, including how they may be applied to reshape the city.
For example, Chase said, "If the policy target for this community is for infill development in the downtown, over the selection of development outside, on the periphery of the community, than one mechanism is to adjust our fees to induce development in the downtown."
But the results of that study, and any policy changes that come out of it, will have to go through a longer process, including a review by the city's Development Oversight Commission, of which Beckman is the chairman, and the City Council.
"It really is a community conversation: where and how we grow and who pays for it," Chase said.

8:06:08 hhdave_ ** NICK hhdave
12:00:39 flip214 is there an HTML or CL-WHO etc. frontend for CLIM already?
12:01:01 flip214 so that the same UI definition can be presented via HTTP and X11 simultaneously?
12:10:27 jackdaniel there is/was this: http://www.ai.sri.com/~pkarp/clim-www/tool.html
12:10:37 jackdaniel never tried it
12:33:55 flip214 thanks for the link
12:36:15 flip214 CWEST is available under the BSD open source license. To download the CWEST software, click here. The file README provides installation instructions.
12:36:47 flip214 how about including that in CLIM (in some separate branch), or at least putting it on github, so that looking/updating becomes easier?
12:38:31 jackdaniel I don't know if it works at all
12:38:41 jackdaniel it was designed for allegro (not only allegro clim, but allegro common lisp)
12:38:48 jackdaniel so it may require some work to be functional at all
12:39:30 beach Sounds like a good project for someone with spare cycles (i.e., not the usual suspects).
12:41:37 flip214 when I thought about that yesterday evening my initial approach would have been to use the layout definition,
12:41:58 flip214 rebuild that via HTML tables and similar, and simply use that.
12:42:14 flip214 but of course that falls short of graphics and similar stuff... still, for the easy things with a few buttons
12:42:18 flip214 it should have been good enough.
12:42:57 jackdaniel "modern" approach would use html5 canvas instead of producing gifs
12:44:29 jackdaniel and it would give you graphics fwiw
12:46:19 jackdaniel https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_canvas.asp
13:10:03 flip214 well, not sure how easy it is to convert all the CLIM graphics operations to canvas calls...
13:10:14 flip214 don't know the function sets good enough
13:40:22 slyrus morning
13:42:26 jackdaniel hey
13:49:19 beach Hello slyrus.
13:56:07 slyrus jackdaniel: did you see my bezier-render branch?
13:58:04 jackdaniel right now I'm going through Alessandro changes
13:58:12 slyrus ok, great.
13:58:29 jackdaniel it's a big pull request, I don't understand most of it, but I can nit-pick on coding style :)
13:58:32 slyrus I'll rebase to that and repush a new branch once that lands
13:58:37 jackdaniel I've tested it locally and works fine
13:58:44 jackdaniel cool, thanks
14:00:51 jackdaniel is (defun foo () (declare (optimize speed)) …) a valid declaration? (that is - without optimization level)
14:01:08 slyrus yes, I think so.
14:01:18 jackdaniel thanks
14:05:00 beach "(quality 3) can be abbreviated to quality."
14:07:10 jackdaniel interesting
15:15:30 slyrus jackdaniel: while we're on the subject, there are two declamations, one in inflate.zip and one in xrender-fonts.lisp that I'd like to remove.
15:15:52 slyrus If we need optimization settings, they should be limited to local declare blocks, IMO.
15:21:03 jackdaniel I agree, we don't want to impose our own "wishes" to clients
15:59:24 fiddlerwoaroof jackdaniel: I hope to get back to that ticket sometime, but I just started a new job, so I'm not really sure how soon I'll find the tiem
16:07:10 jackdaniel fiddlerwoaroof: OK, let me know when you do :-) congrats on a new job!
16:07:16 jackdaniel is it something lispy?
18:33:50 flip214 in sliderdemo.lisp, there's a pushbutton with
18:33:52 flip214 space-requirement (make-space-requirement :width 50 :height 50)
18:34:00 flip214 but that doesn't seem to change anything
18:36:13 jackdaniel https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM/issues/144 - its repaint method who ignores parameters
18:36:37 jackdaniel it takes spacing, text and border to calculate width/height
18:36:58 jackdaniel it's something what would be easy to fix given someone knows, what the exact result should look like
18:39:43 flip214 well, perhaps because all the COMPOSE-SPACE methods have (declare (ignore width height))
18:39:54 flip214 and just ask their children?!
18:40:41 jackdaniel I think that end-gadgets shouldn't ignore them
18:41:00 jackdaniel composite-panes have to adjust (unless they have specific requirements)
18:41:37 flip214 well, the COMPOSE-SPACE methods I looked at _all_ ignore them
18:42:58 flip214 (defmethod compose-space ((gadget push-button-pane) &key width height)
18:42:58 flip214 (declare (ignore width height))
18:43:47 jackdaniel yes, and my point is that gadgets (not composite-panes) *shouldn't*
18:44:01 jackdaniel not that they don't right now :)
18:44:12 flip214 yeah. I just wanted to describe the current state.
18:44:27 jackdaniel right, I can confirm that
18:46:57 flip214 how is CLIM development sponsored? do you have an EU account number?
18:47:19 jackdaniel we have bounties on bountysource.com
18:47:28 jackdaniel which accepts donations
18:48:08 jackdaniel it's on mcclim project page
18:48:31 flip214 well, I was asking you, personally...
18:48:36 jackdaniel I think that donation to CLF with statement, that it's for McCLIM development wouldn't get lost too
18:48:45 flip214 because of other things like ECL, too
18:48:59 jackdaniel ah, I have enough money atm, I'm doing it for free :)
18:49:06 flip214 cool
18:49:12 flip214 when will it work? ;)
18:49:20 jackdaniel ECL or McCLIM?
18:49:27 jackdaniel when it's ready! :D
18:49:33 flip214 McClim
18:49:57 jackdaniel it works pretty well, but there are numerous quirks, as you already know
18:50:36 flip214 well, as I already mentioned... I might want to sell that to a future employer, so it should "just work"
18:51:34 jackdaniel and it just works as far as I'm concerned. X dependency is tough though
18:52:15 flip214 well, I'd like to use it for GUIs on embedded Linux... and there I'd need whitespace between buttons and similar stuff
18:53:46 jackdaniel how fast do you need it? because fixing buttons should take around 2h of work top, but "similar stuff" is a wide range of things
18:53:55 jackdaniel which may take proportionaly more
18:54:48 flip214 regarding #144 and similar stuff, I guess there should be a (defun limit-space-requirement ) or so that overrides calculated with the given values
18:55:12 flip214 well, sliders and other elements could use some space around them, too
18:55:16 flip214 and how fast?
18:55:33 flip214 well, I don't have any production project right now
18:55:47 jackdaniel compose-space method may be specialized on your type of gadget, so I don't think that there is a need for another function
18:55:56 flip214 but if I can rebuild the same look and feel they've got now and show it as a mockup it would certainly help
18:56:15 jackdaniel do you have a screenshot or something?
18:56:33 flip214 well, the :width and :height should work for _most_ things, so I don't believe overriding via a COMPOSE-SPACE for each "user"-class is the right way
18:56:40 jackdaniel look and feel is a tricky thing, it never "feels" right (pun intended)
18:56:43 flip214 no, just some picture in my head
18:56:48 flip214 yeah, I know.
18:57:30 flip214 Basically I need 10 buttons that stay active until another is chosen (select 1 of 10 devices), two sliders, a bit of graphic, and perhaps a few other (non-functional) buttons
18:57:46 flip214 the first part is working... apart from the whitespace
18:57:54 jackdaniel "generic" widgets are just it, generic. We may improve them of course. Specification hints, that adjusting view for particular platform is something what user can do
18:58:28 flip214 I'm just not familiar enough with CLIM to do that quickly, I guess... I might be able to get it working somehow, but it would certainly be a mess.
18:58:46 flip214 and the examples in clim are not that great either ... see my recent fixes, they're not even tested ;/
18:58:54 jackdaniel flip214: could you submit issue with some drawing (in gimp for instance) what you have, and what you want to achieve? I'll look into it during the weekend
18:59:14 flip214 jackdaniel: thank you very much for that offer.

Pivot necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 183 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
Create a logo for an interactive consultancy based in San Francisco.
Pivot is a boutique website analytics and interactive design consultancy based in San Francisco. We specialize in using intelligent insights from behavioral data to create and/or optimize websites. We are cost-effective, professional and data-driven.
We need a brand identity (logo) that can play alongside the logos of our agency counterparts. We don't want to go down the typical 'web agency' logo path, as we are not just a creative company, but also one that deals with data. Our partners and clients can range from brand/advertising agencies, to technology services vendors, to mid-market consumer brands.
We need a logo that represents our creativity AND our data-driven methodology. Two sides of the brain, if you will (but please, no 'brain' graphics!).
- Strong corporate color. We are two female co-founders and would like to be represented by a bold color, staying away from pastels and muted shades.
- A logo that incorporates a brand mark/symbol/icon, not just the word Pivot.
- Pivot can be explored in all caps, sentence-case or lower-case.
- A scalable logo - something that can work on a small business card all the way through to a large-scale presentation book.
- Our URL is pivot-partners.com, but our logo must refer to Pivot, without reference to 'Partners'
- The ability to insert the subtle tagline 'Interactive Services & Performance Measurement' with the logo, in SOME cases. The logo should be able to stand on its own without this tagline as it may be dropped once our company is in business for a while.
- A 'busy' logo - we need something clean and professional.
- Busy font styles - nothing too feminine, curvy, soft or busy.
- More than 2 colors - need to keep the identity to 2 colors for printing purposes.
- Logos that resemble other companies with the same name - for example please note: http://www.pivotinteriors.com

There's no denying it: Owning a home is a lot of work.
During the fall, when my to-do list fills up with tasks like gutter cleaning and shutting down my sprinkler system, I always start to feel like I'm being stretched a little thin.
Years ago, I found a great solution to this problem. I let my kids help!
I started with simple things when they were young like helping with the dishes. But as my kids got older they were able to handle more tasks on their own. When all three of them were teenagers — one is off in college now — I had a whole crew to help me out.

|As people gather in Copenhagen for climate change talks, a new project is getting underway to better understand the carbon cycle deep below the Earth's surface. The Deep Carbon Observatory, run by the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory, will try to study the nature and distribution of deep carbon reservoirs, fluxes of carbon within Earth's deep interior and between the interior and surface, deep organic synthesis, and the nature and distribution of life deep beneath the surface of the planet. We'll find out more.

We develop, market and distribute the electromagnetic simulation software suite FEKO.
The purpose of FEKO is to simulate electromagnetic fields in and around structures to analyse and optimise devices and to explore new ideas and designs. FEKO employs state-of-the-art, market-leading mathematical algorithms. A sophisticated GUI is provided for CAD creation and manipulation of the 3D structures to be analysed as well as to visualise the results.
Example applications are the analysis and optimisation of satellite dishes, wire antennas mounted on a ship, antennas for wireless technology/mobile phones, antennas integrated into cars, etc. See our website (http://www.feko.info) for more applications.
FEKO is scientifically sophisticated, precise and accurate. FEKO is very efficient --- it can solve very big problems very quickly. FEKO is reliable, respected and trusted. FEKO plays an important role in the development of important modern day systems. These are the things the developers of FEKO continuously strive for.
The website layout should embody precision, accuracy and an uncluttered, clear way of thinking.
FEKO is used by engineers and scientists. It is used at some of the world's most prestigious universities, as well as in the development of products with internationally recognised brands, e.g. BMW, Daimler, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, European Space Agency, US Military, Motorola, etc. (see http://www.feko.info/customers)
Our market is thus developers of sophisticated cutting-edge electromagnetic technology, as well as researchers in the international educational, commercial as well as military sectors.
FEKO is in the process of refreshing it's image. The product logo and brand identity have been finalized. A crisp, uncluttered layout that builds on these inputs is now required for the product website.
The previous website is located at: http://www.feko.info
* Refer to attachments of the new FEKO logo and brand identity. Use these without modification in your designs.
* Colour specifications: black; Pantone 377c; Pantone 382c.
* Refer to the attachment titled "wireframe". This contains slides depicting the layout of the 4 page types that the new FEKO website will employ.
Design requirements:
* Design a conceptual layout for the FEKO website landing page, using the above inputs.
* Use the exact text as presented in the slides.
* Include ALL of the functional elements as depicted in the slides in your concepts.
* Feel free to move elements around, or change the layout as you see fit!
* The menus and functional elements of the design must fit into a maximum width of 1024 pixels.
* It will be advantageous to your design if the page art can "gracefully" extend to dimensions wider than 1024 pixels, while maintaining 1024 pixel width limit for functional elements.
Judging criteria:
* Evaluation of concepts will concentrate on the landing page.
* No other page designs required. The extra wireframe pages serve as information of where we're going to apply your design.

Special report: iPad 3 / New iPad : What You Need To Know
Hands on: iPad 3 Review
As part of the launch presentation of the new iPad, Apple used several slides to demonstrate the effects of the "Retina Display" style screen. Want to know how much better the new iPad screen is than the iPad 2's? Read on.
The big news about the new iPad screen is that it offers twice the vertical resolution and twice the horizontal resolution of the previous model. The res is 2,048 x 1,536, up from 1,024 x 768. A very big difference.
The result is four times the number of pixels – more than three million – and double the pixel density. It's impressive stuff. While the basic IPS screen tech appears to be the same, Apple has also improved colour performance, by a claimed 44 percent.
New iPad on the right, old iPad on the left
As you can see, the new iPad screen is much sharper and more detailed than that of the iPad 2. Manufacturers can often be accused of bigging-up their product's minor changes more than is strictly necessary, but Apple has reason to brag here.
The iPad 2 screen – while gorgeous in most respects – is very blocky by modern standards. With pixel density of just 131dpi, you don't have to get at all close to the screen to discern single pixels. It's something that has become increasingly apparent now that so many phones offer very high pixel-density screens.
This is good news for all aspects of tablet life. Web browsing will look cleaner, small text will be much more readable, and gaming should benefit massively. The jagged edges you can see in many iPad games at present will soon be a thing of the past – as long as you don't hold onto your old-hat edition, that is. What do you think about the new screen of the iPad? Not bothered or just the ticket?

Russian self-taught photographer Dina Belenko creates alluring still life images which she calls "photoillustrations". Combining creative and well arranged compositions with photography and a little bit of photo manipulation skills, Belenko creates beautiful food photography starring various inanimate objects: food products, utensils and other props.
According to the photographer, "every object around us keeps our emotions, expectations, feelings", thus photographing things and capturing their soul can be equated to making powerful human portraits. To create her daydream-like photographs, Belenko uses simple everyday materials: sugar cubes, coffee, paper cutouts, clay models, etc. To get more exquisite accessories, like dentistry or jewelry tools, she delves into old closets or visits flea markets.
Belenko also feels the need to manifest the possibilities behind still life photography. According to her, it is one of the least popular genres in Russia, mostly pictured as a boring composition of flowers and fruits.
"I prefer still life because the role of chance is incredibly limited here. You may feel as a director <…> Each failure is your own failure, but every victory is also completely yours."
Belenko is participating in an ongoing project called "An Endless Book". Each week, participants have to upload an artwork under a self-selected topic. At the end of 2015, a huge panoramic image will be made featuring all of their works. You can read more about it at the official website.

Lauren Alaina Goes to Prom
Lauren Alaina may be a country star who is in the studio working on her second album (the follow-up to her 2011 debut 'Wildflower'), but she's still a lot like your average 18-year-old. The singer and runner-up on Season 10 of 'American Idol' went through a teenage rite of passage on Saturday night (March 23), as she attended her senior prom.
"Today is going to be a good day. It's my senior prom (:" Alaina wrote early in the day.
As she got ready throughout the day, the singer and her mother tweeted pictures of all of the essentials -- the shoes, the makeup, the dress and the nails. They were clearly excited about the process and wanted to share it all with the singer's fans. The Twitter photos were like an interactive scrapbook, where followers could accompany Alaina on her journey as she got ready for her big day.
The 'Georgia Peaches' singer was a knockout in her black dress, which was embellished with plenty of sparkle across the front and the back, as were her shoes. Her mother, Kristy Suddeth, likely had it right when she tweeted that Alaina's shoes would probably come off five minutes after prom began, but they were still an integral part of the ensemble.
Suddeth was beaming with pride as she shared pics of Alaina with her father and with her date, who is presumably the boyfriend whom she was recently gushing about.

Police: Kinnelon Couple Died By Suicide
Police say a married couple found dead in their Kinnelon home earlier this week died from gunshot wounds. Investigators say they found no evidence of any outside intruders.
The Morris County prosecutor's office has identified the deceased as 63-year-old Joey Jones and 74-year-old John P. Jones.
Police say the husband and wife were found around 8 a.m. Thursday in their Kinnelon residence.
Acting Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said Friday that a post mortem examination determined that Joey Jones died of a gunshot wound and John Jones, who also died from a gunshot, had committed suicide.

Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of four concentrations: Literature, Language and Theory; Media Writing; Creative Writing; and Secondary Licensure in Communication Arts/Literature.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learners (ELL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab.

African American DNA Research Forum
auDNA Cousins ...... The Numbers Aren't Surprising
I'm amazed that we are amazed with the number of relatives we may find through auDNA testing at the 3rd cousin and greater range. Don't discount them... Here, an example of a testimony for a 4th great-grandmother, Martha (Robinson) Allen, for her 100th birthday in 1905, she died in 1907 at the age of 102. At the time of her death in 1907, 106 years ago, her descendants at that time numbered 16 Children, 30 grandchildren, 7 great-great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.
This 4th great-grandmother is just 1 of the 8 sets of 4th great-grandparents of my tree. So, think of all of the ancestors, the siblings and the possible numbers of descendants there may be that are possible/potential DNA cousins for your "entire" DNA family tree. My 700+ RF, 850+ AncestryDNA & 80+ FF cousins are just the tip of the iceberg.
These photos are taken from an article that appeared in the May 5, 1905 issue of the AA newspaper, The Cleveland Journal. Read photos from top to bottom

Alex Jones Worked With Drudge Contributor To "Crash" Bush Party, Praised Drudge For Mainstreaming Ammo Conspiracy
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
The ties between conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and right-wing megaphone Matt Drudge remain strong, with Jones revealing that he spent time yesterday with one of Drudge's employees and crediting Drudge with pushing one of his conspiracy theories "into the mainstream media."
Matt Drudge, who has described 2013 as the "year of Alex Jones," promoted Jones' website, Infowars, 244 times over the last two years and 50 times since the year began on The Drudge Report. Conservatives have urged Drudge to stop linking to Jones after the latter suggested the Boston Marathon bombings were a "false flag" attack perpetrated by the federal government.
On his radio show today, Jones said he was "hanging out" with The Drudge Report's Joseph Curl at a hotel in Houston, Texas where the pair tried "to crash the private Bush-Cheney party" being held in concert with the dedication ceremony for President George W. Bush's presidential library.
On his Twitter account, Jones posted a picture of Curl along with the caption, "Ran in to Joseph Curl of @drudge in Dallas."
Curl appeared on Jones' radio show in October of 2012 to discuss the presidential election and the "theatrics of U.S. politics. Curl was reportedly hired by Drudge in November of 2010.
Jones also gave credit to Drudge for promoting his conspiracy theory alleging -- based on false premises -- that the Department of Homeland Security is stockpiling ammunition to be used against American citizens.
"We broke that story," said Jones during an interview with former representative Ron Paul. "And Drudge Report forced it into the mainstream media."
On April 25, Congressional Republicans held a hearing based on Jones' work and have introduced legislation in reaction to the story.

Q Like other readers, I find the plans for changing the Golden Gate Bridge toll system to be ridiculous. Although I would not accuse you of flippancy, I would say you clearly don't get it when you say "keeping one booth open for cash payments might make delays worse" — translation: to hell with the needs of the few.
Given your role as a traffic columnist, I think that rather than acting as an apologist for this awful plan you should be acting as an advocate for consumers who will be victimized. The absurdness of your current position is underlined by the number of words you have had to write to explain the new system.
As a frequent reader of your column, I can say I have never disagreed with you more.
Robert Woolard
Yosemite West
A Here's the deal. While removing all toll takers and converting to an all-electronic tolling system is new to us, it's not new in some parts of the U.S. or in other countries. It will be a pain for some drivers initially, and the opening March 27 is sure to invite some chaos. But if you have FasTrak or sign up for a credit-card account, you'll be fine.
But leaving one lane open to cash-only customers could be a disaster, as drivers cut across lanes at the last minute to jockey for position. One thing I've learned in 22 years on this beat is to give this a few weeks before you render judgment. If problems persist into the summer, feel free to call me absurd.
Today, about 70 percent of bridge users use FasTrak and about 30 percent pay in cash.
But I do have sympathy for one group of bridge users — tourists.
Q I cannot find any information on what happens if you cross the bridge in a rental car. My sister is flying into Oakland in April, renting a car, driving to Santa Rosa to visit our mom, and then driving down to visit me in Menlo Park. How does she pay the toll on the Golden Gate?
Peg Austin
Menlo Park
A Make sure she discusses tolling policies and any fees the company may charge with the rental agent at the time of her reservation. Some may allow her to opt out of a tolling program. If not, the rental company will be mailed a toll invoice and she may be hit with some hefty fees.
Go to www.goldengate.org/tolls/tolltipsforvisitors.php for more information.
Q Nineteen states issue only one license plate for the rear. In other words, there is no front plate. I assume the Golden Gate Bridge system will take pictures of the rear plate? Two of those states are Arizona and Michigan. I have visitors from those states and they wanted to know.
Stan Kowalczyk
A Yes. Each toll lane has cameras that read both plates.
Q Since the Golden Gate Bridge is removing toll takers, there is no reason that the FasTrak transponders need to be at the current plaza. If they moved the transponder readers to the north end of the bridge, similar to what is in place on the Martinez Bridge, then removed or minimized the toll booths on the outside of the plaza, the cars with transponders can be directed to those lanes and pass through with little reduction in traffic flow. Why not read the transponders before the plaza and eliminate the need to slow or stop at the plaza?
Bob Meacham
A Not going to happen. Golden Gate officials say the lane configuration is tight and they lack the room to do any special toll reconfiguration. But the speed limit through the toll booths will be raised from 5 mph to probably 25 mph. A meeting will be held Thursday to discuss this.
Q What is going to happen during the carpool hours — $3 per 3+-person carpool rate — when the new tolling plan goes into effect on the Golden Gate?
Stephen Reynolds
Santa Cruz
A During carpool hours from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, lane No. 2 on the right side will be for carpoolers or drivers with white DMV-issued clean air decals. They must also have FasTrak to receive the $3 carpool toll.
Eligible carpool vehicles include motorcycles, buses and two-axle vehicles with three or more persons.
But two-seat vehicles and vehicles with rear-axle dual tires do not qualify on the Golden Gate. Also vehicles bearing the green DMV-issued clean air vehicle decal do not qualify for the discounted toll rate of $3.

It hasn't escaped my notice that the amount of covers of Chills songs is beginning to increase rather quickly! I thought that, before it got to a point where it might become difficult to keep track of, that I could ask you all to help us begin a file (which we'll keep available through the web site) of all the known covers - past, present and future.
So - I imagine there would be three categories initially:
Recorded covers of Chills songs - or anything you might consider relevant (like songs which mention us or refer to other Chills' songs). Like this:
Known live versions of Chills' songs - and, again, anything otherwise relevant.
This could also include prominent public use of actual Chills' recordings of our songs; e.g. I heard some years ago that our recording of 'I Love My Leather Jacket' was used by the Ramones, somewhere, over the P.A. just before they took to the stage.
I was also told that a friend had seen the Rolling Stones, somewhere, and 'The Oncoming Day' was one of the songs played over the P.A. sometime before they performed.
These things intrigue me - although real proof can be hard to come by.
The other aspect of this is the actual use of our songs in movies or behind news events, mime theatre etc.
For example, I remember when George Bush visited New Zealand (I think) he had somehow been given a brown leather jacket so, somewhere in my old video collection, there is footage of the President descending the steps from an aircraft wearing a leather jacket with 'I Love My Leather Jacket' playing in the back-ground! This kind of thing is fun, great for the archives and possible future projects.
Please make contact with any suggestions or observations. Your help would be much appreciated.
Martin Phillipps.

CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts made timely and acrobatic saves to shutout his former teammates and help expansion Montreal Impact beat the LA Galaxy 3-0 at The Home Depot Center on Tuesday. The loss was Galaxy's third straight loss of the preseason.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
An unlucky deflection on a shot by Sanna Nyassi led to the Impact's first goal of the game in the 37th minute.
The Galaxy's best chance in the first half came from David Beckham, who hit the crossbar on a free kick late in the 41st minute.
At halftime, Bruce Arena made three changes to his starting lineup— this was a departure from the coach's subbing strategy the first three games of preseason in which he would play the second half with an entirely different team.
Six minutes into the second half, former Chivas USA defender Zarek Valentin double Montreal's lead with right-footed shot from outside the box. The score stunned everyone, even Valentin, who promptly put his hands over his mouth as teammates celebrated around him.
Jack McBean and Pat Noonan came close to scoring for the Galaxy from separate corner kicks in the second half, but were thwarted by Ricketts each time, who made quick and timely reaction saves to keep the clean sheet.
In the final minutes of the game, Evan James, who came on for Davy Around in the 74th minute, put away a cross from Miguel Montano to add the third and final score of the game.
The Galaxy will be back in action on Thursday, February 16 when they host rival Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center. This game will be played behind closed doors.

Data Compass
Data Compass is a hardware and software data recovery tool produced by SalvationDATA.
According to our 3+1 Data Recovery process, the stage following the drive restoration will be data recovery using Data Compass.
After bringing the failed drive back to life, as a data recovery professional, you know now you need to recover the damaged file system by using file system recovery software; and maybe you know also you need to do a disk imaging in order to work from an accurate, stable hard drive image.
Unfortunately, traditional disk imaging tools and methods are designed for and work on good HDDs only, not the patient HDDs that are unstable or inaccessible because of media defects and instable head, which are common challenges of Stage 2 in practice. Even more, with those traditional imaging tools, the time involved and the ordinary user-level repeated-read access to the media bring a risk of damaging the disk and head, making data lost irretrievable.
But now there's a better way: The disk probing equipment included in the Data Compass suite bypassing the disk-level problems such as multiple bad sectors, damaged surfaces, malfunctioning head assembly, or corrupted servo info, In the meantime you can use the default software or any other defined software you have been familiar with (R-studio, Winhex, any) to perform file recovery. Through the Data Compass, problem drives will become intact hard drives and ready for file recovery attempts..
What can Data Compass do?
Data recovery from physically damaged HDDs is what Data Compass designed for.
' Data recovery from HDDs with severe multiple BAD sectors, which appear because of platter surface scratch or malfunction or instability of the magnetic head assembly (MHA).
' Data recovery from HDDs that start to produce "clicking" sounds, which may be caused by corruption of sector servo labels or a MHA malfunction. If some heads or surfaces are damaged it is possible (before installation of MHA replacement) to create a copy of data using the remaining good surfaces or drive heads.
' Availability of tools for logical analysis of FAT and NTFS file systems in the software complex allows data recovery in cases, when a drive is functional and only logical data structure is corrupted.
'When used with malfunctioning drives, Data Compass complex often allows selective extraction of data necessary to your customers without reading all data from a drive ("recover data by file" without creating a complete disk image) saving a lot of time. In some cases, when drive malfunctions cause constant self-damage (like scratches on disks or instable MHA) these are the only means to accomplish this task. With the ShadowDisk technology adopted, users need not to worry about the drive degradation problem.
Some technologies of the Data Compass
SA Emulation™ Technology: Feel that too difficult to conduct firmware repair? Or you have come across media defects in the SA (so far no tool in the world can fix this kind of problem)? AnalogT enables us to directly generate key information for booting drive in RAM; therefore, users can initialize the drive and access data area independent of the drive SA. We can disable the read attempt to the damaged SA and access the data directly, no need to try hard to find suitable firmware donor. DBER Dynamic Balancing Enhanced Reading Technology: This easily helps you to extract data from partially damaged bad sectors which can't be copied/ imaged by other tools. Experiments have proved that you will have 30% more data recovery and file opening success rate using DC, compared with other image devices. ShadowDisk™ Technology: It images every sector of the source drive you read to an external shadow disk, any following read request towards those "read" sectors will be directly transferred to the corresponding sectors on the shadow disk; which means each sector of the source drive will experience one read operation during the whole process. ShadowDiskT technology ensures the minimum read towards the source drive; therefore effectively avoid further damage to the media and head, helps you to get rid of the situation before ShadowDiskT Technology: that's the head stack collapses halfway of the disk image and gives clicking sound.

Feeling stressed?! You are not alone, according to a recent survey, 47% of Marquette students report that stress and anxiety have been so severe in the last year, that it has affected their individual academic performance. (American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II Spring 2012)
Smaller amounts of stress can be helpful. For instance, it can help you develop and use skills needed to manage threatening situations or help you get many things done in a short amount of time. However, stress can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed and out of control or when it becomes chronic. At that point stress can interfere with being able to learn and retain information, making it a roadblock to academic success.
Stress can hit you when you expect it — before a test, after leaving home, or during conflict in a relationship. Stress can also build up gradually during a busy semester when papers, tests, and other commitments pile up on your calendar. While everyone experiences stress at times, a prolonged bout of it can affect your health and ability to cope with life. That's why social support and self-care are important. They can help you see your problems in perspective… and the stressful feelings ease up.
Five Stress Busters
1. Sleep
2. Exercise
3. Healthy meals and snacks
4. Relaxation techniques
5. Self-care tips
Nothing helping?

When the value of the U.S. dollar is strong relative to other currencies, it becomes attractive to investors and allows Americans to buy foreign goods and services cheaply. But in times of recession, are we better off with a weak dollar that stimulates U.S. manufacturing by making our goods cheaper and more competitive? Or will the loss of purchasing power and currency manipulation abroad, offset the potential gains?

Overview of eSATA
Initially, SATA was designed as an internal or inside-the-box interface technology, bringing improved performance and new features to internal PC storage. Designers quickly realized the innovative interface could reliably be expanded outside the PC, bringing the same performance and features to external storage needs instead of relying on USB or 1394 interfaces.
Called "external SATA" or "eSATA," it is possible to use shielded cable lengths up to 2 meters outside the PC to take advantage of the benefits the SATA interface brings to storage. SATA is now out of the box as an external standard, with specifically defined cables, connectors, and signal requirements released as new standards in mid-2004. eSATA provides more performance than existing solutions and is hot pluggable.
|Although eSATA is hot pluggable, if data transfers are still in progress when the hard drive is disconnected from the system, data loss may occur.
Below are a few key benefits of eSATA technology:
|It is possible to configure RAID 0 and/or 1 on select Dell systems, though Dell does not support RAID technology with eSATA.
The information contained above consists of excerpts from the SATA-IO Web site. The technical information described herein is for informational purposes only. For additional information or the complete article, please refer the SATA-IO Web site for eSATA.
Enable eSATA
eSATA is enabled in the BIOS by default on Optiplex 960 computers.
Power up the system, or if the system is already turned on, shut it down and then power it up.
Press the <F2> key once every three seconds while the initial Dell logo is on the screen to enter the BIOS.
In the BIOS, Press the <Down-Arrow> key to highlight Drives and press the <Enter> key.
Under the Drives branch, press the <Down-Arrow> key to highlight External SATA and press the <Enter> key.
Press the <Right-Arrow> key to highlight On and press the <Enter> key.
Press the <Esc> key.
On the Exit screen, press the <Right-Arrow> key to highlight Save/Exit and press the <Enter> key to restart the system with eSATA enabled.
For more information about entering the BIOS, the BIOS configuration, or restoring the system setup defaults, refer to the Online User's Guide.
Potential System Issues with eSATA Enclosures on Dell Systems
Some eSATA enclosures may cause minor issues, resulting in the eSATA not working correctly, in these given scenarios:
With an eSATA drive attached, AHCI mode enabled, and eSATA disabled in BIOS, eSATA must be enabled in the BIOS.
With an eSATA drive attached, ATA mode enabled, and eSATA enabled in BIOS, AHCI/RAID mode must be enabled as eSATA is not supported in ATA mode.
For more information about entering the BIOS, the BIOS configuration, or restoring the system setup defaults, refer to the User's Guide.
Internal and External Locations of eSATA Connections
The Dell eSATA implementation could consist of either a built in jack (Figure 1) or may require an adapter that connects to an expansion bay in the chassis. (Figure 2)
Figure 1: Location of Built-In eSATA Port on the Optiplex 960
The attached SATA cable then connects to a port on the system board. (Figure 3)
Figure 3: eSATA Adapter Mounted in a Dell™ OptiPlex™ 755 Chassis
When connecting a drive to the eSATA adapter port, the drive requires external power. Power is not provided by the port itself. The eSATA port on system boards is designated with eSATA silkscreened next to the port. (Figure 4)

ROCHESTER, N.Y.—"Star Wars" action figures are joining centuries-old dominoes in the U.S. National Toy Hall of Fame's class of 2012, announced Thursday.
"Star Wars" action figures went on the market after the 1977 release of the classic movie. The figures of Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and others were sold until 1985 and again from the mid-1990s to today.
Museum officials said their phenomenal popularity inspired other toy makers to tie their products to movies and television series, and they noted the toys' appeal extends to adults, who continue to collect them.
Dominoes originated in China in the 1300s and appeared later in Europe in a slightly different form.
The two toys beat out plastic green army men, the board game Clue, the Fisher-Price Corn Popper, Lite-Brite, the Magic 8 Ball, the pogo stick, sidewalk chalk, the electronic game Simon, the tea set and Twister.
To date, 49 toys have been chosen for the hall of fame. They range from classics, like Play-Doh and Slinky, to the less obvious, like the stick and cardboard box.
Officials at the Toy Hall of Fame say anyone can nominate a toy, and thousands of suggestions come in every year. An internal committee of curators, educators and historians chooses the finalists, and then a national selection committee votes for the winners.
Longevity is a key criterion for getting into the 14-year-old hall.

Romania upstart Larisa Iordache led Romania to first place over Germany and Great Britain at a tri-meet held Saturday in Ulm, southwest Germany.
Clad in new black and cyan leotards; the Romanians trounced their hosts by nearly 12 points, scoring 174.25 to Germany's 162.75. Great Britain was third with 160.45.
Romania had the top mark on all but uneven bars, where host Germany outscored the field. The Romanians were most impressive on beam, averaging 14.983 with 15.30 from Iordache ((ff, tucked full; double turn; switch-half; front aerial, ff layout; front kickover, back tuck; switch leap, back pike; side somi; ro, ff, triple twist; 6.8 Difficulty), 15.10 from Catalina Ponor (switch ring; double turn; Onodi, ff, two-foot layout; side aerial with leg held into front aerial, ff, layout; switch leap; Kochetkova; double pike), and 14.55 each from Diana Bulimar and Amelia Racea.
Olympic floor exercise champion Sandra Izbasa (Romania) scratched after warmups due to her nagging foot injury.
Iordache notched another first place in the all-around, scoring 59.75. Kim Bui took second over Romanian Diana Chelaru, 55.00-54.75. Iordache, a first-year senior, scored 60.15 as Romania topped France one week ago in Cholet.
Niamh Rippin, fourth, was the top gymnast for Great Britain, which also sent Ruby Harold, Jocelyn Hunt, Charlotte Lindsley and Kelly Simm
2011 European all-around bronze medalist Elisabeth Seitz, suffering from a foot injury, was fifth (11.95 on floor exercise). Bui, Oksana Chusovitina (who competed vault and beam in Ulm), Nadine Jarosch (bars only) and Seitz are all scheduled for the upcoming European championships, May 9-13 in Brussels.
"It was an uneven performance for us, as we certainly had mistakes," German head coach Ulla Koch said. "The team was probably still a little insecure due to the many recent injuries. Nevertheless, there were some very good performances."

April 11, 2007
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Last Tuesday the Yale women's swimming and diving team held its annual awards dinner. At the end of the 2006-07 season there was a lot to celebrate, including a slew of new school records and a third place finish at Ivies. But with a look ahead to next season, the team also elected its captain for 2007-08, Caroline Dowd.
Dowd, a junior history major from Weston, Mass, will take over from outgoing captain Meg Gill. Elected by her teammates, Dowd has become a crucial member of the squad competing in freestyle and breaststroke events. At this year's' Ivy League Championships, she was a finalist in the 500 yard freestyle, the 100 yard breaststroke and the 200 yard breaststroke.
"I think it will be a challenge to lead the team to an even higher level after such a successful season," Dowd said. "But Meg has taught me how much of an influence the captain can be in leading the team to success."
The dinner also featured the handing out of the team's annual awards. Among the award winners, two names stand out: Gill and fellow senior Moira McCloskey.
McCloskey's four years at Yale may be up, but she will no doubt leave behind a legacy that will remain for some time. During her Yale career she has become Yale's backstroke specialist and has set a number of school records both in individual backstroke events and as a crucial part of Yale's relay teams.
While Yale may have relied on McCloskey to perform in backstroke events, it is Gill who has emerged as Yale's outstanding freestyle swimmer. She will graduate as the Ivy League 50 yard freestyle champion and has made a similarly impressive mark on Yale's record books in both individual and relay events. As the team's captain for the 2006-07 season, Gill lead the Bulldogs to an 8-2 dual meet record and a third place finish at Ivy League Championships.
For the second year in a row McCloskey was awarded the Heaton High Point Award for the member of the team who scored the highest possible number of points for the team in dual meet competition this past season. She also won the S. Livingston Mather Swimming Award for the second year in a row. This prize is donated by the late S. Livingston Mather, class of 1905, and is awarded for outstanding performance in backstroke swimming.
McCloskey's other two awards were shared with other team members. She shared the Tim Jecko Award with Brenna Davis. This trophy is given annually for outstanding performances in individual medley. Tim Jecko was a member of the 1956 United States Olympic Team. He won many national championships and held many records at Yale in freestyle, butterfly and individual medley. The award was established in 2004 by Tim' s classmates of the Yale Class of 1959.
McCloskey and Gill shared the Eleanor "Bobbie" Dawson Award. This award goes to "that upper-class member on the women's team who has contributed immeasurably to the Yale swimming tradition by her dedication and personal achievements". The award honors the former secretary to Robert Kiphuth and Phil Moriarty, a national official, and supporter of Yale Swimming, Eleanor "Bobbie" Dawson.
Gill also won the William Leeming Jelliffe Award. This award is given annually to "that senior who has shown the greatest progress and development in swimming ability and outstanding leadership during his college years." The prize is given in memory of William Leeming Jelliffe by his father, the late Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe.
A third member of the senior class was also recognized at the dinner. Chase Butler won the MacLeish Memorial Swimming Trophy. Established in 1936 by Hassted R. Vanderpoel '35S, in memory of Kenneth MacLeish,1918 who was killed in World War I, this trophy is awarded to "that member of the Yale Swimming Team, who through his or her efforts and high ideals in sportsmanship and loyalty, best exemplifies the spirit of Kenneth MacLeish."
Finally, it was time to look to the future, as Yale's two outstanding freshmen both won awards. Jane Kim received the Harry Burke Award. Established in 1966 by the Yale Swimming Association, this award honors Yale's retired former freshman swim coach Harry Burke and is "awarded for outstanding contribution to Yale Swimming by an underclassman." Jane's performance in freestyle events this season has marked her out as a rising star in Ivy League swimming.
Susan Kim won the M.Davies Award. This prize was donated by the family of Melindi Davies, class of 1998. It is awarded each year for outstanding performance in breaststroke swimming. Susan had a great rookie season in both individual breaststroke events and relay events.
Finally, the Robert J.H. Kiphuth Award was presented to Phil Prince. This award honors the former Yale Varsity Swim Coach and United States Olympic Coach, Robert J.H. Kiphuth. It was established in 2003 by the Yale Swimming Association and is "awarded to that individual who has shown outstanding service, dedication and loyalty to Yale University and the Yale Swimming Program."
