Swims like a butterfly, stings like a bee
THE INTERNATIONAL pool at Leeds has seen better days and the cafe needs a facelift, but this is home for James Hickman, Commonwealth gold medallist, world record holder and, by common consent, Britain's best hope for swimming gold at Sydney next year.
THE INTERNATIONAL pool at Leeds has seen better days and the cafe needs a facelift, but this is home for James Hickman, Commonwealth gold medallist, world record holder and, by common consent, Britain's best hope for swimming gold at Sydney next year.
Hickman is 23 and swims butterfly, 100m and 200m. In Kuala Lumpur at the last Commonwealth Games, he was controversially disqualified for a false start in the 100m, then went out and won the 200 gold by a street. "A point to prove," he laughs. "I was under world record time for 150 metres, then hung on for grim death." Others discerned the mentality of a champion.
The build-up to the Olympics started soon after Atlanta, but the laying down of markers will begin in earnest at the European
Championships in Istanbul this week. Butterfly swimmers are an exclusive community; they know their enemy. Hickman reckons he could name most of the finalists in Sydney already: Dennis Pankratov, the 200m world record holder, in the longer distance, Franck Esposito, the Ukrainian Denis Sylantyev and the Japanese guy called Yamamoto, whose first name he has temporarily forgotten (it is Takashi). There is an American, a young Russian too and, inevitably, a couple of Australians, including the world record holder,
Michael Klim. "I know those are the ones who will be strong in Sydney, just as they know I will be strong," he says.
Hickman logs into the SwimNews.Com Internet site to check on their progress. They will do the same, noting with interest Hickman's two British records in the national championships last weekend. The rivalry is personal, intense and, mostly, long-distance. Their faces peer at Hickman every morning as he contemplates another 7am training session. "That's not bad," he says. "At school, it was 5.30, on winter mornings. I still wake up some times and think, 'Do I really have to do this?' But I know that somewhere in the world there is a Russian and an Australian getting up and doing it. So I'm not going to stay in bed while some geezer tries to beat me. There's not that much between us so maybe that one training session will make the difference."
Hickman's life is spent in constant dialogue with the clock. The world record for the 100m long course - 50m pool as opposed to the 25m pool for the short course - is 52.1 seconds. Hickman's personal best is 52.8. For the 200m, he has swum one minute 57.1, 1.9 seconds outside Pankratov's world record. Four years devoted to a beat over two seconds. He clicks his fingers. "Yeah, that's all you're looking for. Why would someone want to do that? I don't know, but I have this stupid conception that I'm the best butterfly swimmer in the world and because I want to prove that to everyone, that means I have to become the Olympic champion. I don't know where that drive came from. I just think I can be the best at what I want to do."
Becoming European champion is important to Hickman, not in itself, but because of what it means for his progress towards Sydney. He wants to swim the Olympic qualifying time first and, beyond that, put himself within realistic distance of an Olympic winning time so that he has a sharper sense of purpose on those winter mornings. Beating his main European rivals will do no harm to his self-confidence in the delicate game of pre- Olympic charades.
Not that confidence has ever been a problem for Hickman. From the day he won four national titles at the age of 14, then defended them all successfully the following year, he has marked himself out as different. One of the crowd, yet, as he says himself, above it, a child who seemed to have his eyes fixed on more distant horizons than the rest.
"I do like the limelight," he admits. "So I've always wanted to do a bit better so that I can have more of it. Even when I was younger I still wanted to excel. It's not arrogance perhaps as much as a selfish need for attention." He is the only boy in his family; he has two elder half- sisters and a younger full sister. "It's odd, I've always had a lot of attention, so maybe I'm scared of the lack of attention."
There is a neat fit between Hickman's natural flamboyance and the most arduous and intense of swimming disciplines. All strokes require commitment, but only butterfly reveals the full expression of it. As anyone who has emptied the local pool after a length will testify, butterfly is the extrovert's stroke, a thrashing melee of arms, legs and water up the nose which demands an elastic flexibility and boxer's shoulders. At six feet and 74 kilos, Hickman is small for the modern generation of leviathan swimmers, but butterfly is as much about fluency as power. His manoeuvrability and speed on the turn is a particular attribute in short course where he lopped nearly a second off the 200m world record in Paris last year.
When he gets the timing right, the subtle co-ordination of arm swing and leg kick, Hickman says the 70 or so strokes of a 100m race can feel effortless. "You get days when you are just hauling yourself through the water, but when you get it right, that sort of Dolphin movement up and down, it flows. I don't get the same feeling from any other stroke."
Victory in the European Championships would heighten the celebrity status of Hickman, a Mancunian in exile in Leeds. Never one to underact, his mock horror at learning that his world records had been nullified earned him an award for "wind-up of the month" on a local radio station. He writes a column in the Manchester Evening News and is full value for his lucrative sponsorship deal with Speedo.
Only in Sydney, though, will Hickman measure his true worth. "One person on the blocks for the final will know he is going to win," he says. "The others will think they can win." Encouragingly for British medal prospects, Hickman genuinely believes the odd one out will be him.

NOBLE — More than a hundred people crowded into the small, steamy room where the Noble Board of Education held a special meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the actions of their school superintendent, which left many parents in town angry and some students embarrassed.
Noble Board of Education keeps superintendent accused of sexually harassing students
The Noble board decided to keep public schools Superintendent Ronda Bass on staff and create a development plan for her, after behavior that some say was inappropriate.
Bass came under fire last month when some female students say she embarrassed them in front of their peers for the way they were dressed.
Bass allegedly went to some classrooms at Noble High School on the second day of school and asked several of those students to stand up and proceeded to point out how she felt they were inappropriately dressed. Some of those students say Bass also asked them to come into the hallway, where she had them bend over, and she inspected their buttocks. They also say the day before, she called some of them into her office and asked them if they had seen any "skanks" around school.
Jennifer Fourcade, a librarian at a local elementary school and the parent of one of the students Bass allegedly disciplined, said she was shocked when her daughter described the events.
"I was blindsided," Fourcade said. "I could not believe that someone I worked for, who is my boss, is capable of such an action of discriminating upon our children on the basis of their gender, intimidating them, using abusive language, sexually harassing them."
Fourcade said she and other parents are calling for Bass' dismissal from the Noble school system. She also took issue with Bass referring to herself as the 'mama bear' of Noble Public Schools.

Larry Bird To Leave Indiana Pacers
Indiana Pacers President of Basketball Operations and state legend Larry Bird will meet with team owner Herb Simon Tuesday morning to discuss his departure from the club.
Bird has stated he is positive he will not return to the team next season and there appears to be nothing that will change his mind. He always wanted the flexibility of being able to leave the team at the end of any given season, which is why he never signed a long-term contract.
It seems every year there are rumors Bird will be leaving the team, yet he always decides to come back. This year was not any different with the exception that Bird indicated last month at a news conference that he would remain with the team next season.
"(I want to talk to Simon about) the direction of the team, what kind of job he thinks we're doing, if there's anything he sees that we should be doing better," Bird said May 30. "Just a number of questions. I've got a lot of them written down to ask him, and hopefully we can get the answers we like and move on."
That certainly does not sound like a team president ready to call it quits. It is still unknown exactly why Bird is leaving the team but it appears he feels he has accomplished what he set out to do. Not to mention, his rising health issues in which he has long suffered from a cardiac condition.
Bird has been the team president since 2003 and has turned the franchise around by building a competitive team and putting fans in the stands. He was named NBA Executive of the Year this past season, which makes him the first person to with Executive of the Year, Coach of the Year (Pacers), and Most Valuable Player (Boston Celtics). He helped the Pacers reach the postseason six times since 2003, including a division title in 2004.
It is unknown what NBA position Bird will take next but one thing is for sure, he is certainly proud of the team he helped build.
"This is one of the best locker rooms we've had," Bird said. "The attitude has changed in the last few years, and it's been a breath of fresh air. These kids have come in here. They were dedicated. We didn't have any problems."
Now we will have to wait and see what new frontier Bird will set out to accomplish after he most likely takes a year off from basketball.

And even if I could get to work on it, it would be quite an undertaking to basically do it within a month, wouldn't it? Oh well, they're just achievements right..? *cough
What I remember it doesn't take long if you can manage to get some net sorted.
...there are 2 other comments
Here's hoping, then, on both accounts. Although if there's any achievements needing multiple players, obviously that could still be difficult to arrange. We'll see.
There's atleast 1 for 8 players but right now I guess alot of people will be doing it so should be easy enough to get a session.
Dude, can you not run an ethernet cable to your consoles?
I can but as there's kids around including a toddler the plan is to run one through the roof when my aerial also gets done.
That way no one trips over or messes with it, and no one will complain about seeing it. I would use wireless but ours is shit for some reason.
I probably would have had them reconnected by now (we've been here 6 weeks already) but there's been other stuff going on as well. :(
Lol, I was never going to hit this. Not with a bean dive and the move in December. At least I managed to reach 100k last year, finally.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. The nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?' He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

New Zealand Union of Students' Associations
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013) |
Motto | Supporting Students Nationally Since 1929 |
Location | Wellington, New Zealand |
Established | 1929 |
President | Daniel Haines |
Website | students |
The New Zealand Union of Students' Associations (NZUSA) is a representative body that advocates for the interests of tertiary students in New Zealand. It has 14 member students' associations, with a combined membership of over 180,000 students.[citation needed] Between 1935 and 2006, it was known as the New Zealand University Students' Association.
The organisation was founded in 1929 as the New Zealand National Union of Students, and initially focussed its activities on sporting and social concerns. It changed its name to the New Zealand University Students' Association in 1935, and over time gave greater focus to issues concerning student welfare, such as student access to healthcare. It developed a strong involvement in social issues during the 1960s and 1970s, opposing the Vietnam War, apartheid, and racial immigration policies, as well as supporting homosexual law reform.[citation needed]
The association has a long history of advocating for its members by opposing NZ Government policies it viewed as not in the interests of students. During the 1990s and 2000s the New Zealand government and New Zealand universities made large increases in fees for students, and limited access to allowances for study. These changes attracted much criticism from the NZUSA. In the 2005 New Zealand general election the organisation strongly advocated in favour of policies it long held. These include reduction of student debt, and universal access to student allowances for full-time students. Such policy was supported by many minor parties, including the Greens, New Zealand First and United Future.[citation needed] The Fifth Labour Government introduced 0% interest on student loans policy, but the organisation continues to campaign against decreasing access to student allowances and systemic fee increases.
NZUSA campaigned against the introduction of voluntary student membership (VSM), arguing that students did support compulsory membership of students' associations. NZUSA proposed a policy compromise, suggesting a "KiwiSaver style" opt-out arrangement where students would be members unless they explicitly said they did not want to be.[1] However, the campaign against VSM was not successful, and by 2012 all students' associations were required to be voluntary.
NZUSA after Voluntary Student Membership[edit]
Since the introduction of voluntary student membership (VSM) in 2012, NZUSA has faced significant challenges. VSM led to the organisation no longer being guaranteed a revenue stream from member associations, and by 2012 it's funding had decreased by a third as members cut their contributions due to financial hardship.[2]
Withdrawal of association memberships[edit]
In August 2013, Waikato Students' Union announced that it would "temporarily withdraw" from NZUSA.[3] In response, Auckland University Students' Association (AUSA), Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association (VUWSA) Otago University Students' Association (OUSA) put out a press release calling for significant reforms of NZUSA.[4]
Subsequently referendums were held at OUSA and VUWSA as to whether they should stay members of the national union.[5] The membership of both unions voted to stay part of the organisation, but the presidents at the respective organisations have promised substantial reforms.
In September 2014, VUWSA President Sonya Clark announced that after a unanimous vote by the executive, VUWSA would be withdrawing from the organisation (and had given its obligatory one-year notice of withdrawal).[6] President Clark said:
"Students gave us the mandate to stay if there were significant reforms. There haven't been. Now what's important is having the conversation to make sure there's a strong national voice on student issues, in a more effective use of $45,000 student dollars. We take our fiduciary responsibility with students' money seriously."[2]
In response, NZUSA President Daniel Haines said he was
"disappointed but not surprised ... I think it reflects the extreme financial hardship that students' associations are now facing. I also think it's important that organisations review themselves and are critical of their performance, and that's what this is....VUWSA is one of our founding members, and hopefully we can continue to work with them going forward."[2]
In November 2014, OUSA announced that it would also be withdrawing from NZUSA. Postgraduate Officer Kurt Purdon said NZUSA missed the opportunity to prove themselves in 2014, but instead of proving themselves, OUSA President Ruby Sycamore-Smith had single handily done more for Otago students than NZUSA. He further said: "We lose credibility by being a part of them. Even if membership were free, I'd have serious questions about being a member."[7]
NZUSA President Daniel Haines criticised OUSA for a lack of communication over their concerns, and responded to the withdrawal by saying:
"it concerns me that this decision will diminish the collective power of NZUSA ... It will be harder to do things without a united front. I am concerned how we will look to politicians if we approach them as separate parties. No one wants to talk to twelve different people when they could talk to one."[7]

It's Time for Israel to Fight Evil
No country would allow their citizens to live under a constant barrage of missile attacks and bombs and danger — and the State of Israel will not allow Arab terror to continue.: : The people of Israel — from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem are united that Israel must stop these attacks and act in self-defense against the Palestinian Arab terrorists.
The terrorists in the Mideast are the enemy of the entire West, and it's time that Israel takes action.: : Peace is something everyone wants — but stopping the enemy so all people can have peace is necessary.
Some quotes which speak to these unique times:
- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burk
- "The: goal of war is peace, of business, leisure" Aristotle
- "The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war." Benjamin Netanyahu, 2006
- "Human society is based on reciprocity. If you remove reciprocity, justice becomes a lie. A person walking somewhere on a street has the right to live only because and only to the extent that he acknowledges my right to live. But, if he wishes to kill me, to my mind he forfeits his right to exist — and this also applies to nations. Otherwise, the world would become a racing area for vicious predators, where not only the weakest would be devoured, but the best." Ze'ev Jabotinsky
- Ecclesiastes 3:1,3,8b: "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven… A time of war, and a time of peace."
- King: Solomon: writes, "Everything has its season: A time to be born, a time to die; a time for war, a time for peace."
The time is now to wipe out the terrorists, and to protect innocent people. Humanity has no choice but to destroy evil, whatever it takes. It is no longer a dream, but a necessity. The Arabs don't desire so called "occupied territories"— it's about a desire to eradicate the Jewish people.
Decent, peace-seeking people everywhere will stand with the State of Israel and decency.

The following editorial appeared recently in the Seattle Times:
Congress squandered a year of potential progress on student-loan interest rates. The result of its inaction was a sharp rise in rates on Monday.
Rates on federally subsidized Stafford loans jumped from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, essentially slapping a $1,000 tax hike on students, according to U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
The average student-loan debt is around $25,000, which can include other types of loans.
A financial hit to 7 million undergraduates can be reversed. If Congress passes a temporary extension to the lower rate by the end of July, the rate hike would be reversed.
Just do it, Congress. Strong options include a proposal by Murray to freeze rates for one year and a bill by U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., to hold it at 3.4 percent for two years.
DelBene deserves support from her colleagues as she tries to get 218 members to sign a discharge petition, allowing an immediate up-or-down vote on her bill, which has been blocked by House Republicans.
Families do not need interest rates that rise and fall from year to year. They need affordability and consistency. President Obama proposed annually setting rates to the Treasury's cost of borrowing and fixing rates for the life of the loan. Obama's proposal would also expand the "Pay as You Earn" repayment option so no borrower ends up paying more than 10 percent of his or her discretionary income for student loans.
Congress needs to fix this.

Early bird? Night Owl? Beth Israel says there's a gene for that
- Julie Donnelly, Boston Business Journals
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center say they have found the gene that determines who will be an early bird and who will be a night owl. Much creepier, researchers say this gene can also predict what time of day a person is most likely to die.
In the past, researchers have found rare gene mutations responsible, say, for whole families that wake up at 3 in the morning and go to sleep at 8 p.m. But now the Beth Israel researchers say they have found a common gene variant that controls the so-called circadian clock, determining when a person is most alert.
"The internal 'biological clock' regulates many aspects of human biology and behavior, such as preferred sleep times, times of peak cognitive performance, and the timing of many physiological processes," lead author Dr. Andrew Lim said in a statement. "It also influences the timing of acute medical events like stroke and heart attack."
The study appears in the November 2012 issue of the Annals of Neurology.
The work came about when Lim and other neurologists were studying why older people have trouble sleeping. The original goal of the research was to identify precursors to the development of Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. The research subjects underwent sleep-wake analyses and agreed to donate their brains after they died. They also had their DNA genotyped, and it was this information that Lim's team, in cooperation with a team from Brigham and Women's Hospital, used to find a genetic difference between early birds and night owls.
Those with one gene variation, A-A, woke up about an hour earlier than those with another variation, G-G. Those with one A and one G, woke up in the middle.

Sole bidder in the frame as decision on HMV's fate draws near
Thursday 21 March 2013
The future of HMV, the failed entertainment chain, is likely to be decided over the coming days.
The retail restructuring specialist Hilco is now the sole bidder seeking to acquire HMV, its brand and about 130 of the chain's original 220 stores in a deal worth more than £50m. But there is no guarantee a sale will happen.
Hilco, which bought HMV Canada in 2011, has been in the driving seat to acquire the UK retailer since it bought its debt at a hefty discount in January, following Deloitte's appointment as administrator.
There has been speculation that the accountancy firm has to sell HMV before midnight on Sunday ahead of the second-quarter rent bill falling due on 25 March. But this deadline is understood not to be critical. This is partly because many of HMV's stores are now on monthly rents, and also because whenever a retailer's stores remain open after rent day – as they will at HMV next week – its rental payments have to be met. All parties declined to comment.

Uh-uh, what do y'all want to hear?
How about a little Nat King Cole?
Y'all like Nat King Cole?
? If you ever plan to travel west ?
'Bama ain't bad.
Yeah, I'd say he saved our asses.
What the hell is Ray doin' up there?
Auditioning for you, Gossie.
He ain't no good without me.
How'd you and the 'Bama like to do a week here at the Chair?
I know a good bass player.
A nice jazz trio could score big with the right manager.
Come on now, Gossie, don't be so small-minded.
You know you've got to give to get.
Now what exactly do I have to give?
25 percent.
But I'll be gettin' you other gigs.
All right, next question: What do I get?
What do you need?
Double scale as leader, plus 10 percent.
What about the 'Bama?
He's about as green as a blade of grass.
I can handle him.
? Flagstaff, Arizona ?
Yeah, he's green.
? Kingman, Barstow ?
So, Gossie, you don't need to worry about a hotel room for the 'Bama.
He can flop at my place.
Hey, y'all never change.
? Get your kicks on Route sixty-six ??
Ray, you coming back to bed?

President Barack Obama's got his head in the clouds and no weight on his shoulders. Taking on Ariana Grande's smash ear-worm "Problem," the latest video in the baracksdubs series has the POTUS "singing" I got one less problem without you to his adoring public. There's been versions of the Prez doing "Call Me Maybe," "Fancy," and "Get Lucky," but we think our fave so far is this little number, which you can watch above. He got one less, one less problem.

It's no secret that lots of dancers have day jobs, which can involve long stretches of sitting and not much moving. And if you're balancing dance with school, studying for that tough exam means hunching over books late into the night.
If you find yourself slumped in a chair for hours at a time, whether at work or at school, it's important to stretch your chest and shoulders to maintain your barre-ready posture. This simple stretch can help: Sitting in your chair, slide forward and place your hands flat behind you, fingers pointing away from your body. Press your shoulders back and palms down so that your shoulder blades come together. Slowly look up to the ceiling, breathing deeply and evenly. After a few breaths, move back to a regular sitting position, maintaining that more upright posture. Your body will feel better, and so will your mind.

You Could Have at Least Given Them Some Lobster
by Mike Stanz
posted Jul 31 2014 5:00AM
A three-hour whale watch tour off the coast of Massachusetts turned into an overnight ordeal for 157 passengers the other night.
The whale-watching boat failed to spot some lobster traps about 16 miles out, and got caught up in their lines.
It took until morning to free the boat. The Coast Guard had two ships stationed near the marooned vessel, providing food, water and blankets to the passengers, so except for being at sea a lot longer than they expected, everything ended up okay.
But here's a lesson for you: whenever something's labelled a "three-hour tour" and it involves the ocean, you might invoke the Gilligan Rule and stay on dry land.

Jon Wiener on Eric Hobsbawm
Jon Wiener teaches U.S. history at UC Irvine. His most recent book is Historians in Trouble: Plagiarism, Fraud, and Politics in the Ivory Tower. He is a contributing editor to The Nation and hosts a weekly afternoon drive-time interview show on KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles.
ERIC HOBSBAWM, WHO DIED OCTOBER 1 at age 95, was one of the world's greatest historians, and also a Marxist. He was not just an academic — he was also a lifelong Communist with a capital "C," a full-fledged member of the Party since his teenage years. Unlike most of his comrades, he didn't leave the Party in 1956 after Khrushchev's revelations about Stalin's crimes, or after the Soviets' repression of the Hungarian uprising; he didn't leave in 1968 when the Soviets crushed the Prague Spring; he stayed until the end. Hobsbawm mentioned his long Party membership in his final book, How to Change the World, but didn't really answer one of the big questions about his life: "Why the CP?"
For that you need to go to his wonderful memoir, Interesting Times, published in 2002. As a teenager, Hobsbawm lived in Berlin for two terrifying years, 1932–33, when Hitler seized power. It was there that young Eric joined a Communist youth group, campaigned for the CP candidates in what would be the last elections of the Weimar Republic, and marched in the Communists' final anti-Nazi demonstration in 1933 before the Party was banned and its members sent to concentration camps. That time in Berlin, he would write, "made me a lifelong communist … even though that project has demonstrably failed, and as I now know, was bound to fail." His family sent him to live with relatives in London, and, from 1933-39, the relatives sent him to Paris to spend the summers. In 1936 he witnessed firsthand the electoral victory of the Popular Front, which the Communists supported, and then took part in the last great mass demonstration of the interwar European left, Bastille Day in 1936, when all of popular Paris took to the streets.
If Hobsbawm got an early start at left-wing politics, he was a late bloomer as a historian. He started publishing books only in his forties, and, as he wrote in his memoir, "By the time I could actually call myself 'professor' in Britain, I was in my middle fifties […] At that stage for most of us the promise is in the past, and so is such achievement as it has produced." But not for Hobsbawm. The most successful, and probably the best, of his 16 books — The Age of Extremes 1914-1991, the final volume in his ambitious three-part history of the world since the French Revolution — wasn't published until 1994, when he was 77. Young historians, take note: your best work lies in your future!...

We're planning a two week vacation to PEI in early July with a four and two year old. We'd like a place with a kitchen and two bedrooms. I've seen some of the cottages on the web, and they look pretty basic. I was hoping for a bed and breakfast that had a cottage too, so we could have breakfast. I also thought it might be more quaint than basic/rustic. I also don't know what area of the island to stay on. Would love to be near a good swimming beach. How warm is the water in mid July?
