Anipang Grabs Time, Hearts of South Koreans
In South Korea, there's a new obsession: a video game on smartphones called Anipang.
The game presents a screen of 49 cartoon animals, in seven vertical columns and seven horizontal rows. The object is to line up three animals, either vertically or horizontally, in one move.
It is similar to a game called Bejeweled in which players line up jewelry on a screen. Anipang is distributed by Kakao, the social messaging service that is very popular in South Korea but trails other services like MSN Messenger and NHN's Line in other countries.
To date, Kakao has only distributed Anipang in South Korea. The company collects revenue from in-game add-ons.
The game lasts just one minute. Then, a player's score is instantly transmitted to everyone on their Kakao contact list who also plays Anipang, triggering competitiveness between friends and colleagues. And every seven days, all existing scores are wiped out, an automatic reset to what has become an almost national competition.
Kakao encouraged the game's spread with a token-like system. To play, a player needs a "heart." Kakao provides five hearts when the game is first installed. Each time the game is played costs one heart. If a player runs out of hearts, he or she can wait eight minutes and Kakao will provide one.
But another way to get a heart is to invite other people to play. That has created a flurry of exchanges between friends inviting people into the game. Indeed, in South Korea's hierarchical society, the exchange of Anipang hearts has created a whole new tension to workplace and school relationships. Some people are resorting to sending messages via Kakao Facebook and other social networks begging for Anipang hearts.
How pervasive has Anipang become? Since its release on July 30, Anipang has been downloaded to 17 million smartphones in South Korea. Each day, about 10 million play it at least once, the game's developer, SundaytoZ, announced last week.
And a market researcher called AppRanker found that Anipang is being played an average of 54 minutes a day.
Of course, South Korea for years has been a videogame-obsessed country. Neighborhoods are dotted with game centers called "PC Rooms" where dozens of personal computers are dedicated to networked PC games. But the rise of smartphones over the past three years opened up new avenues for the country's game developers — and roped many more people into playing games in the open.
In a packed subway car on Saturday night, at least 10 people were spotted playing Anipang, some with a friend to help move the animal faces around more quickly.
Though Anipang is downloaded to a smartphone (Android or iOS), the player must be connected via cellular network or Wi-fi to play. That's because the score is instantly transmitted and scoreboards are updated for a player's Kakao contacts.
A spokeswoman for Kakao said the game is the biggest hit of 21 that it has rolled out for Android phones and eight for iPhones. She declined to provide revenue figures.
Ma Ga-yeong, who lives in Cheonan, got roped into playing when a friend sent her an Anipang heart in a Kakao message. "When I play a little bit, I run out of hearts, so I wait till I get a heart in eight minutes or I send invitations to friends," she said. "Actually people without time can't play this."
Judging from the data, people are making time for it.
A super-successful round of Anipang looks like this:

Dear Abby: This is in response to "Had It in Hartford" (Oct. 6), who has been unhappily married to her husband for 20 years. She said she married him for all the wrong reasons and "has never loved him the way a woman should love a man."
After I had been married for seven years, I went to my pastor concerned that the grass on the other side was looking greener than mine. I began to realize the extent of the investment I had put into my marriage and that I didn't want to start over again on a new one.
My mom always told me, "Marriage is not easy. You will always have to work on it. There will be times when you won't feel that you like him or love him." I have been married for 36 years now. Do I notice handsome men, or appreciate a man who treats me kindly? Of course. I'm not blind or dead.
Love isn't just a feeling, but a choice and a commitment. I'm committed to my husband not because I'm "supposed" to be, but because I CHOOSE to be. It seems to me that "Had It" never made that choice or worked toward it, but expected it to just happen eventually.
She has a foundation of trust and friendship that helps a marriage through the rough times. Many marriages that end in divorce rely on sexual attraction and passion to carry them instead of friendship.
We're told that marriage is 50-50. That's not true. It's 100-100. I'm responsible for my 100 percent, and my spouse is responsible for his.
"Had It" should take another look at what she's about to lose and tally up the costs. Is she really trapped? Or has she just been unwilling to choose to love?
– Barbara in Mount Vernon, Wash.
Dear Barbara: Thank you for writing. I advised "Had It" to think long and hard before leaving her husband, but that if she truly cannot love him the way he deserves, she should move on. My readers' comments:
Dear Abby: I have this message for "Had It": I felt like you and acted on my feelings. Don't do it! Wait until your kids are older. As much as you want a more intimate relationship, you cannot begin to imagine the impact straying will have on your kids.
I deeply regret what I did and I wish someone would have told me what I'm telling you. Pull yourself together. Think about your children, extended family and friends. You are connected to others through your husband, and once you pull your marriage apart, everything else falls away, too.
– Regretting It in New York
Dear Abby: "Had It" is probably suffering from a case of the seven-year itch. She should work through it with a counselor.
There is a lot to be said for being married to your best friend. A wise therapist advised me to compliment my husband at least once a day. ("If you act happy, pretty soon it won't be an act.") It has been working ever since, 29 years!

Chris Byrd ... Underrated?
Anyone else think so? His style didn't make him the most appealing boxer to networks like HBO but he was a natural middleweight going up against some of the hardest hitting, most lethal heavyweights in the world.
Nobody wanted to fight him ... he would make guys look completely silly ... it was hard for anyone to each lay a glove on him. His resume is pretty solid as well and his victory against Vitali was huge. There's a reason why he never fought Byrd again in a rematch and let Wlad take care of him. He also fought a great fight against David Tua.
He was definitely among the top 5 heavyweights of the last decade

Byrd really did figure out Vitali around the 6th round +, the myth that Vitali dominated the fight is a joke. Byrd would have won the fight and gotten robbed. It is just a styles nightmare for Vitali.
Ironically Sanders was a styles nightmare for Wlad.... and Vitali ended up fighting Sanders.... just like Wlad fought Byrd lol.
That being said, a Prime Version of Tyson would walk through him and kill Byrd. So we have to put things in perspective. I think of the k2 ERA.
We got
Elite: Wlad
World Class: Byrd
Semi World Class:Povetkin
Semi World Class:Adamek
Wild Card avid Haye (h2h)
These are the six best heavys of the K2 Era. Outside of k2, even a mid 90's version of Tyson would have dominated this crop.
TBH . David Haye is actually the third best heavy of this era.. With a real shot at #2. But he just wasted the first half of his career, hopefully his 2nd half will live up to potential.

To be fair, I'd put guys like Chagaev, ibragimov, Sam Peter over Haye or in the same class
I think the best versions of any of those guys would beat Haye, especially Sam Peter

Sam Peter could have knocked Wlad out in that first fight with an extra 10 seconds towards the end of r9 or r10. So yes. That version could probably have kayoed Haye.

The only reason Byrd rematched wlad instead of vitali was because wlad needed his belt. Byrds only hope of being vitali is hoping he gets injured which isnt much of a game plan.

Vitali was on his way to quitting again against Chisora.
Go read the daily mail uk.
He said if it wasn't for Chisora slapping him, he would have just stop because the pain was too much.

I think so yeah, extremely skilled man, would of made some serious noise if he kept his weight down instead of giving up so much size at heavyweight.

Vits was winning the fight but he definitely wasn't doing it with ease. Most of the rounds were close and Byrd was competitive enough to back Klit up plenty of times and makie him miss more than any fighter before or since. I think Vitaly only landed 8 more punches. That alone says you're wrong considering Byrd gave up 35lbs and 8 inches in height and took the fight on 10 days notice. Vitaly should have redeemed himself by rematching him, belt or no belt. I don't know where the whole "Wlad needed that belt" thing comes from but its irrelevant. I would never pick Byrd to win, but I have no doubt Vits didn't want to look bad again and having his own fans cheering for Byrd again. And given the proper time to train that very well could have happened.

Larry Merchant "WOW THIS IS UNREAL, DAVID BACKING GOLIATH UP"
Vitali pretended he didn't speak English in the post fight interview to dodge Merchant's questions, promised a rematch and never fought Byrd again.
I'm sorry I didn't type out all that. I'm sorry I just decided to use the word 'clown' to describe all of the above.

Jay Holmes knew Chad Ferris before last fall, but when they met at a Citadel tailgate party in November, Holmes had an agenda.
A 1989 graduate of the military college who then spent 15 years in the cotton industry, Holmes had a 21st-century textile idea: using recycled carbon fiber for marine applications.
But he needed some help finding customers, boat builders, and that's where Ferris, a local fishing captain who graduated in 1995, came in.
It turned out Ferris knew just the guy, Mark Castlow of Dragonfly Boatworks in Vero Beach, Fla., and they struck a deal.
On Tuesday morning, the trio gathered at the Isle of Palms Marina to unveil the product of their collaboration: a 15-foot black boat hull they touted as the first ever made of recycled carbon fiber.
"Looks like our dreams are kind of coming to fruition here," said Ferris, who, like Holmes, was wearing a blue checked shirt and sunglasses.
Holmes, 46, said the idea occurred to him after working at a mill in Gastonia, N.C., and then studying textile supply chains around the world.
Using his money and the proceeds of a second mortgage on his Mount Pleasant home, he founded Greentex Solutions, which takes scrap carbon and turns it into usable fabric, like the soft black oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber, or OPF, that made up the middle layer of the hull on display Tuesday.
Castlow said he initially thought Holmes' idea was "pretty crazy" but came to believe in its feasibility as well as appreciate its environmental benefits.
He said the Greentex-supplied hull took less time and less work than the similar boat sitting next to it Tuesday and could be more than 20 percent lighter.
"Your mind starts to spin when you think of the applications for it," Castlow said, naming covers for marine pumps and structural support for houses as examples. Holmes also hopes to sell an OPF foamboard as a replacement for marine plywood.
Ferris, 39, is one of Greentex's two salesmen, and another Citadel classmate is Greentex's chief financial officer and general counsel.
Holmes has outsourced most of the work so far, to places like the United Kingdom and China, and he said some of his suppliers turned out for Tuesday's unveiling. But he aims to do all the recycling work locally, possibly as soon as this year in a building on the old Navy base in North Charleston.
"My goal for the last 20 years has always been to build a textile company in Charleston, where textiles began," Holmes said. "Bring it full circle."
Mark Castlow of Dragonfly Boatworks explains to onlookers at the Isle of Palms Marina how his boat made out of recycled carbon fiber can be more than 20 percent lighter than a similar boat that was sitting nearby.×

Since the beginnings of civilization, humans have engaged in conflict with one another. This has been the case since we first coalesced into tribes and began settling in different areas on the planet. As tribes competed for areas where they could thrive and flourish, the concept of warfare developed.
At first warfare was used only as a means of survival as groups vied for sustenance. As warfare evolved, so did the means to implement it. This is probably when the first seeds of conquest were planted.
Someone once said that when man invented the wheel, he probably immediately started trying to figure out how to weaponize it. Whether or not this is true of our early ancestors is not certain, but judging from the track record of modern man with revolutionary inventions and discoveries, it could have very well been the case.
As civilizations developed and populations grew, the need for expansion grew as well. This often led to the eviction or attempted eviction of neighboring groups and the occupation of their land. At this point the defeated were killed and driven off while the victors enjoyed the spoils. Eventually the idea of enslavement would grow from those early seeds of conquest after it was realized that there was benefit in allowing some of the conquered to survive.
One boon to this was that by relegating the menial tasks to slaves, it freed up manpower to engage in more conquest. Thus began the cycle of warfare, conquest and expansion. The time would eventually come when this cycle would give rise to nations.
Let us now move forward to modern times. Humanity has indeed flourished. We have accomplished miraculous things from advancements in medicine to the exploration of outer space and unlocking secrets of the atom. Yet in spite of these achievements, a darkness remains among us that harkens back to a time in our distant past.
When tribes were conquered and assimilated and ultimately melded into nations, it created a problem. Obviously most of the vanquished did not share the aspirations of their conquerors, and even some among the conquerors likely did not share them as well.
In order for a nation to continue to thrive, a common denominator was needed. It was soon discovered that in the absence of a true threat, one of the best ways to incite people to aggression and/or exercise control over them was through fear. Since then, populations of the world have constantly lived in some form of fear.
Fear is a handy tool when in the hands of a capable applicator. Its razor-sharp double edge can be used to incite aggression even as it is simultaneously used to control the masses.
Modern history has shown us what the politics of fear are capable of. From the enslavement of a people to the sanctioned extermination of an entire race, the tool of fear has been used against us. From the stifling of free speech to the abridgment of human rights, fear has dominated the lives of many.
It has spurred us into wars under the guise of pre-emption and tricked us into the oppression of our fellow human beings. It has seeped into every corner of our civilization and many times poisoned our reasoning as well as paralyzed our judgment, as it continues its mission in the service of those who desire to see despair and subjugation. The politics of fear inspires escalation which leads to the proliferation of weapons of warfare to stave off the perceived threat. This has ultimately led to conflict many times.
Even here in America where no foreign army of occupation has ever set foot since its establishment, we are not immune. Here in the US we are certainly familiar with the anomalous specter of the "bogeyman." Although it has taken on many forms, its purpose and premise remains essentially the same.
In a perfect world, people should be able to live and let live without the prospect of conquest or hostility ever coming up. Sadly, this is far from a perfect world, and the threat of oppression is a very real possibility, therefore the need for defense against it is certainly legitimate. So where does the solution lie?
Is it in escalation, where we engage in a race to be the first to procure devastating weapons of mass destruction to discourage belligerence? Does it lie in steadfast resistance to aggression by refusal to be controlled and enslaved? Or does the solution lie somewhere between these two?
So what would happen if that oppressive entity happened to be one's own government? There are many people right here in America who believes our government has turned on us or could possibly do so at some point in the near future. But why would it turn against its own people? It would have to be for the purpose of control over them because it would serve no purpose for a government to kill off its citizens simply for the sake of doing so.
However, it is more likely that a rogue government would target a certain group of people rather than its entire population unless that population has already been subdued. In a country like the US, more surreptitious and insidious means to enslave would have to be used. An outright direct assault on our freedoms would surely be met with stiff resistance... Or would it?
For instance, how many would throw in the towel when the government nationalized the energy and food industries and began rationing these only to "good" citizens? And all those guns would eventually become virtually useless once it took over the arms industry and put a stranglehold on replacement parts and bullets.
When these issues arise, Tiananmen Square and the lone soul facing down that column of tanks comes to mind. He had no weapons or body armor. All he had was his outrage and his courage.
Surely there are some who will say that it was foolhardy or if those people had been armed they would not have been so miserably crushed by government forces. However, had those soldiers not been so overcome by the politics of fear, they would have had the courage not to fire on their unarmed countrymen.
So is armed resistance really the key to preventing oppression from one's own government? Or does the answer lie more with a government that rules by the law and not above it?
Only by respect for others and adherence to the rule of law by all can we ever hope to have peace. And above all, we can never let ourselves fall victim to the politics of fear.

Click on the MP4.
Thanks, Charles. Can't play MP4s here at work since I don't have the codec, but it's nice to know that there is a smaller sized option.
Watching the video now...I think it's great that anyone can make their own diagnostic scripts. Once more Win 7 machines are out there, this will make my sidejob of cleaning up computers very efficient.
The live update is really cool too, as the causes of problems can change as time goes by.
Indeed, very interesting that we can create our own troubleshooting wizards. Now we just need a video with demonstration on how to do it.
EDIT: Looks like a development example is already in the video. Nice job, Charles.

There's a beautiful moment in the Coen Brothers' new film 'Inside Llewyn Davis' (actually there are quite a number of beautiful moments, but I'll start here with this one). Llewyn Davis is a folk singer, down and out upon the scene �the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960′s. He's broke, bumming a place to sleep from night to night on the different couches of a small circuit �from patrons of the art to fellow folkies. Still the singer has his dreams of making it in "show business" �as he quaintly tries to appreciate the meaning of the term. His record label has allegedly sent a copy of his solo album 'Inside Llewyn Davis' to a promoter of some accomplishment in Chicago. As his desperate circumstances seem to grow more and more desperate the singer decides to set out for Chicago to take his fate by the horns. It's something of an epic journey getting there (encounters with John Goodman always succeed in bringing that epic dimension to a Coen Brothers' narrative) and at long last when the singer comes face to face with his hope for fame the promoter allows as how he hasn't heard or even seen this record."Play me something from 'Inside Llewyn Davis'," he asks of Davis.
They sit together facing each other out upon the floor in a darkened empty performance space, low light streaming in from a door left open. Davis shares a heart rending version of the traditional ballad 'The Death of Queen Jane'�the moment is a triumph, transcendent (and filmed that way). There's barely a second's pause as the promoter considers what he's heard. "I don't see any money in it," he observes.
The story doesn't end there or resort to some scene of dramatic confrontation. Instead it is just this poetic instance of perfect failure. Quiet Llewyn Davis puts his guitar back in its case, at that moment knowing his dream defeated, over with, that knowledge plain on his face. He doesn't argue his case. His song had done that, stated his best. He'll resolve to resign his dream of fame and set out with the merchant marine, no more a folk singer by trade. (He'll fail at that, too.)
It's a dark scene in a dark and melancholy movie; but somehow it put me in mind of hope.
It's important, I think, to appreciate the historical moment of this dramatic moment. This Greenwich Village, this Chicago and the road between them was in the America of the early 1960′s. Don Draper was sipping highballs, touting 'the new and improved' and screwing secretaries uptown in his high rise, just a few blocks from these cold water flats down in the village with their fire escape sense of address. Madmen advertised and Modern was the mainstream design aesthetic, Kennedy spoke of a 'New Frontier' and MacNamara ran the Pentagon �Mutually Assured Destruction was the very latest in political science.(Kubrick was just started working on 'Dr. Strangelove' about then). The very idea of progress had gone insane. Set against this backdrop, these young aching artists sang the old songs, ballads from Appalachia, blues from The Delta. For all their politics were Leftist and Progressive in name, these young singers and artists and poets were the ones standing astride the tracks of supposed progress and shouting 'Stop!'�or perhaps singing it sweetly.
Did they succeed or fail? That's a question you could answer a number of different ways, considering the movement, the aesthetic, the different artists as individuals. Did they find a receptive audience? Did they change the world at all? Have a lasting impact?
This is where I come around to the idea of hope. The very next day after I saw the Coen Brothers' film, and drove home trying to explain my reactions to it to my son, I came across this article by Rebecca Solnit in Salon.com �about hope of all things, something she describes as "an orientation that has nothing to do with optimism." As Solnit sees it, "[o]ptimism says that everything will be fine no matter what, just as pessimism says that it will be dismal no matter what. Hope is a sense of the grand mystery of it all…" That mystery and its large dimension allow for meaning and purpose even in failure, beautiful failure."[W]e don�t know how it will turn out… anything is possible."
You mightn't save the world with song �or even yourself, but there is something in the trying.
In Solnit's article she maps an aspect of hope that disappoints those who want to consider success or failure in obvious and immediate terms. She points to the example of Thoreau, dying in obscurity, owning more of his own books than he ever sold, yet long after he was dead and gone influencing the minds of men like Gandhi and Martin Luther King, changing the world that way. She shares an anecdote about Charles Black, how as a teenager growing up in Austin, Texas he had a chance encounter with music that changed him �and through him the world.
He was riveted and transformed by the beauty of New Orleans jazzman Louis Armstrong�s music, so much so that he began to reconsider the segregated world he had grown up in. �It is impossible to overstate the significance of a 16-year-old Southern boy�s seeing genius, for the first time, in a black,� he recalled decades later.Charles Black would grow up to be a lawyer, dedicating his life to racial justice and civil rights. He would help reverse segregation nationwide, aiding the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Draw that thread from the mournful horn blowing 'St. James Infirmary.'That notion of the power of music to transform the world subtly and powerfully �even unknowingly, that hope surviving failure �to me that's what that gorgeous moment in the Coen Brothers film was all about. A little later in the film Llewyn Davis goes to visit his father who is failing in health at a nursing home. He wants to say goodbye as he'll soon be off to sea with the merchant marine �or so he thinks. The old man is non responsive, practically catatonic but for how miserable he seems. Yet as his son sings him a few verses of Ewan MacColl's 'Shoals of Herring' �a song 'he always used to like' �a look of sweet ease and peace passes over the old sick man's face �only for a moment time and its weight and worry falls away for a father and his son. There is this tiny instance of timelessness (the same kind of eternity Solnit describes for hope). It's only another moment, gone the next, but that moment as captured in this sad dark movie speaks so eloquently of those songs and that time, the difference they were truly intended to make in this world.Call Llewyn Davis a failure and I can relate to him (though he sings and plays guitar better than I ever dreamed). I, too, have taken my stabs at fame. There's a novel never published somewhere in the house, some poems and songs I've written and recorded. I wrote a speech once for a politician I admired which he never quite gave. (My CD collection is much like Thoreau's library.) I don't know what any of it amounts to at this point, but I think I know what I've tried, what my intentions were. They were stabs at fame, but also statements of belief, prayers of a sort, blind stabs at saving the world. I know that sounds grandiose and silly at the same time, but there is that instinct to save the world �to save ourselves �our each and every lonely soul. We so often fail in the attempt, forgetting ourselves, losing and leaving something behind. Bottled messages to wash ashore somewhere else if ever �or scattered seeds.Solnit offers the notion of seeds to describe the hope in these arts and offerings(Thoreau would be proud of her).I don�t know what�s coming. I do know that, whatever it is, some of it will be terrible, but some of it will be miraculous, that term we reserve for the utterly unanticipated, the seeds we didn�t know the soil held.Somehow those seeds and those songs combine for me. Maybe it's some aspect of them carried on the wind like in Dylan's old song, the one with all those 'how many' questions answered with that resigned kind of refrain: "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind." Something in the asking of those questions manages to matter in the end though �the singing of those songs did, too �all of them, though we might only notice the seeds that flowered, the songs and the singers that became famous.

I certainly understand your concern with roundabouts. They can be a little confusing initially but they do seem to work. I spent three years driving one in Europe that was three lanes deep and hand seven(7) streets attached to it for entering or leaving it. First time I used it I was somewhat baffled but after that it just seemed natural and traffic flew around it, to paraphrase George C Scott, like "crap thru a goose." I only saw one accident in it during those three years, a minor one at that and I used it nearly every day. Of course they didn't have logging trucks with dual trailers going thru them, either.
Good luck in telling Madison you don't want it. Bet that'll fly like a helium balloon from Ft Collins and crash a lot harder. Ya gotta try, though.

Oracle bought a hard-to-miss piece of the front page of the Wall Street Journal Thursday to run an ad apparently in hopes of arresting the increasing erosion in Sun's server business.
The bulleted ad is addressed to Sun customers and says Oracle "plans to spend more money developing Sparc than Sun does now; spend more money developing Solaris than Sun does now; have more than twice as many hardware specialists selling and servicing Sparc/Solaris systems than Sun does now; [and] dramatically improve Sun's hardware performance by tightly integrating Oracle software with Sun hardware."
Then, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison tells IBM, which claims to be running off leery Sun customers, that "We're in it to win it. IBM, we're looking forward to competing with you in the hardware business."
Presumably this manifesto is Larry's way of saying he meant what he said when Oracle's proposed takeover of Sun was announced in April: he's keeping Sun's hardware business despite the ensuing speculation that he would sell the widgetry off like maybe to HP, which is also supposed to be poaching Sun accounts. And of course it reiterates his idea about using Sun for Oracle appliances.
The June quarter was horrible for all of the server makers, but it was particularly hard on Sun whose worldwide revenues were down 37.2%, according to IDC's numbers, in part because IBM and HP have been rustling its customers. It's a situation that could get worse since the European Commission has delayed the deal's consummation while it investigates Oracle's intentions with respect to the MySQL open source database, a probe that could take until January 19.
The ad says nothing about Java, which is what Oracle is supposed to be mainly interested in. And it certainly says nothing about the trouble-making MySQL.

Comments about Equilibrium Base LS:
This was a Christmas present from my husband and sons. Living in the South, the need for a base layer is pretty rare so I thought it was a pretty extravagant gift. Then came the recent "polar vortex" that put me on the road in 12 degree weather. (I know, balmy for much of the country but REALLY cold for the South).
Paired with a long sleeved top and windbreaker, my run was comfortable the entire time. Not too hot, not too cold.... even on the half mile cool down walk home after my run.
The wicking was fantastic!

I love this shirt! When I first got it I wasn't sure how well it would work, but after trying it out I now want to wear it for every run I do. I've worn it both as a base layer and with a tank under. I've worn it on bike rides, training runs, and a couple races. I always end up the perfect temperature.

From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Pei's Media Lab, from "satisficing" to "form follows funding," from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory.
More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time—if they're allowed to. How Buildings Learn shows how to work with time rather than against it.
—Mixed Media
"A stunning exploration of the design of design … How Buildings Learn will irrevocably alter yor sense of place, space, and the artifacts that shape them."
—Michael Shrage, Wired
"Penetratingly original."
—Philip Morrison, Scientific American
"An extremely attractive volume that will forever alter the way we respond to the buildings around us. We may also hope it will alter the way architects design buildings."
—Harold Gilliam, San Francisco Chronicle
"A fascinating and indefinable book … How Buildings Learn is a hymn to entropy, a witty, heterodox book dedicated to kicking the stuffing out of the proposition that architecture is permanent and that buildings cannot adapt."
—Stephen Bayley, The Times (London)
"The book's diagnosis is clear and to the poiny, and its illustrations of how buildings change are both fascinating and instructive. This is, in short, one of the rare books that every architect should read."
—Thomas Fisher, editor, Progressive Architecture
"A book of good sound-bites and laser-sharp insight … No architecture students should complete their preliminary studies without reading it from cover to cover."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - As the front page story indicated in last week's Bonanza (Nov. 1), a proposal for a NV-sponsored K-12 public charter school to be located in Incline Village was denied approval on Oct. 21. This proposal was first discussed in public at the Oct. 19 WCSD School Board candidates forum (though no members of the charter development team were present).
People have expressed concerns about not being aware of the proposal earlier and about its potential negative impacts to the WCSD public schools. As I understand, the charter proposal development team (mostly eLearning Cafe board members) plans to resubmit the proposal.
On Oct. 24, the WCSD Data Summit for Incline took place which I began to review in last week's column. I especially appreciated the well-orchestrated opportunity for community members to study the extensive performance data provided and to discuss and provide input to school development directions.
I encourage all readers to embrace these two developments as opportunities to engage more fully in education advancement for students and adults of all ages in our community. What do I mean by this? And what kind of positive engagement is possible?
Having studied the charter proposal and spoken with Kathryn Kelly and other supporters about it, I observe that the charter proposal has arisen out of a sincere perception that the public schools aren't meeting all of our students' needs and an alternative, blended learning public program will fill in the gaps and become an asset to the community by attracting new students and families who wouldn't otherwise come to live here.
This perception is supported by the current NV Governor (Sandoval) and Superintendent (Guthrie), who both believe that school choice and competition for students is one of the best ways to compel improvement of existing schools - or the closing of those that fall too far behind.
Though a few of us are working to create an executive summary of the performance data provided by WCSD at the Incline Schools Data Summit, I can point to a couple summary measures that we should probably focus on: WCSD's new assessment approach tracks individual students on their "pathway" to success - which means graduating and doing so with enough credits and skills for college and good careers.
At the moment, only 49 percent of Incline 2nd graders are currently considered "On Pathway" to reading success - compared to 64 percent of 2nd graders across the district. Similarly, the district's "Early Warning System" assesses graduation risk based on factors including state test proficiency, attendance, mobility, credit attainment, and retention.
In Incline, nearly 64 percent of middle school students (6 to 8th grades) appear to be at some risk of not graduating - with 35 percent considered at high to moderate risk of not graduating.
Unfortunately, the overall trends in student achievement growth rates and graduation likelihood do not appear to be going in a positive direction in our schools.
Could this correlate with Student Climate Survey data indicating that only 50 percent of high school students say they are academically engaged in their coursework?
Are these performance and engagement levels acceptable? What happens if the NV charter gets approved and WCSD students are attracted to the innovative and more engaging blended-learning ways of learning? Do we want and expect Incline Schools to become the flagship K-12 system in the district? If so, what can parents and community members do about it?
Come explore these important questions on Nov. 13 at the Vision 2020 Education Working Group official kick-off, taking place at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Non-Profit Center, 4-6 p.m. Objective: to brainstorm, discuss, define and align around a shared vision for education in Incline Village going forward. Come with an open mind to share and explore potential initiatives.
As always, I encourage your participation in these forums so that we might bring together and "synergize" this community's unique abundance of creativity, talent, time, and resources.

LOCKPORT – During her 20-year career as a volunteer for Niagara Hospice, Barbara Reed's interest in people and an affinity for euchre have been as important as her nursing degree.
"My first love is patient care at home. That's where everybody wants to be when they don't feel good," she said. "I do everything, from something as simple as sitting at a bedside holding somebody's hand to maybe doing dressing changes or medication."
Hospice services – from pain management, care at home, respite for caregivers and stays at Hospice House on Sunset Drive – are usually for people projected to have six months left to live. Sometimes the care is so good that people get better and live longer than expected, like one memorable client who loved to play cards.
"He was an end-stage cardiac. When I went to his home, he was in a recliner watching the soaps and waiting to die," said Reed, who visited him for three years. "And it got to the point where I would get him dressed and take him to a friend's house, and the three of us played euchre."
Reed's nursing career included being medical department supervisor at Harrison Radiator when the car parts company employed 13,000 employees and had three medical departments spread throughout the Lockport complex. Her experience with hospice is more intimate, and its services are not as well understood as she would like.
"Hospice does so much to improve the quality of life for a hospice patient that people, I think, people last longer because they feel better and they want to live," she said. "So often the families will say after they got somebody in hospice, they say, 'Oh, we should have gotten there sooner. If we only would have known, we would have gotten there sooner.' "
How did your friendship with the euchre player develop?
When his condition really started to deteriorate and he couldn't come out any more, I picked his friend up, and I would take him to my patient's house and we would play cards in the kitchen, and then as he deteriorated, he was in the recliner in the living room, his friend was on one side and I was on the other side, and we would play cards there.
Then after that when he got really bad, he was in bed, and we played cards with him in bed. We played cards on a Monday, and he died on Thursday.
The other team members on hospice were the ones who got him going so he was in shape to do that.
It was really so cute, so cute.
Why euchre?
It was a game that all three of us knew. I think it was just camaraderie between the three of us.
What was he like?
He was kind of quiet and laid back, and he had a sense of humor.
His friend was a little more sedate. He could make wine out of anything, even potatoes, and he was a good cook. He made lunch for us every time. He was in his 80s. My patient was in his 70s.
Did you try the wine?
I didn't drink the wine. I couldn't do that when I was working. None of us really drank the wine while we played cards. He took me down to the basement to show me all the bottles he had there. He was just so proud of his wine collection and all the wines that he made.
Hospice took a picture of the three of us playing cards, and it was put on a poster as kind of a recruitment thing.
Is there something people don't understand about hospice that you would like to explain?
I think a lot of people are afraid of hospice. I've had people say that hospice makes you die faster. But that isn't true. We have patients who improve so much once they're hospice patients that they have to be discharged. The patients have to be discharged because the insurance won't pay the hospice benefit anymore. But then when their condition deteriorates again, they can come back to hospice.
Hospice does so much to improve the quality of life for a hospice patient that people, I think, people last longer because they feel better and they want to live.
I'm looking at a brochure right now of a young woman who got married. It's a picture of her and her husband and the people in her wedding party. Hospice organized it in two days, I think. I know of another hospice patient who went to the casino. When she came back she was so excited. She lost her money, but she made sure she had enough left for dinner for her family. There was another patient that used to go to Kleinhans Music Hall.
People just don't lay around waiting for death. Whatever they want to do that can be done, hospice works to make that possible.
I think a lot of people believe if they go to hospice that means they're giving up. And they really aren't giving up. What they're doing is accepting: There isn't any more treatment that can help, but they're improving the quality of the patient's life.
Any other stories?
I was sitting doing a vigil with the wife of the patient. It was an elderly couple, the husband was dying. She said, "Isn't it a depressing job? Why are you doing this?'"
I said, "I don't want you to be alone." She just had a little smile on her face. I can't remember if she did say anything. I just took away a good feeling that she had someone who wanted to be there who didn't have to be there.
It just seems so terrible to be alone, especially in a situation like that. I think it helps them with their grieving if they know someone who was there who cared.
I run into these people occasionally when it's all over. Maybe months later. They get a smile on their face. They're so happy to see me. It seems like it brings comfort to them.
How does the vigil team work?
We provide support for the family when death is imminent within 48 hours. That support is around the clock. It's been going on for years. It's stressful for the family. If somebody from hospice is there, they feel better because the person from hospice knows what to do.
I went into a house for a vigil. There were 15 people in the house, family and friends; the patient was off to the side, in the bedroom. During the evening people were in and out of the room to touch or hold the person who was dying. And someone said, "We look so strong all of us out there. If you weren't here, we'd be a mess."

One crown was easily defended, another champion was dethroned in dramatic fashion.
Lake Shore throttled Kenmore East for its second straight Class B title while No. 1 Orchard Park earned a hard-fought, come-from-behind win over third-seeded Frontier to end the Falcons' two-year run atop Class A. The Section VI boys volleyball championships were played at Lake Shore High School on Wednesday night.
With their season on the line, down two sets to one, the Quakers stormed from behind to claim the fourth and fifth sets. They earned the school's first boys volleyball championship since 2008.
Orchard Park led early on and appeared to be the far superior squad, cruising through the first set, 25-17, behind the imposing play of senior Graham Patterson. The air was completely different in the hyper-competitive second and third sets, as the teams exchanged points until the Falcons pulled away for two victories by the same score: 25-22.
Down two sets to one, Orchard Park co-head coach Matt Lexner had faith in his team.
"I told them they needed to be more intense," said Lexner, who has coached Orchard Park for 34 years. "The thrill is always there. It's the energy that they bring that keeps me coming back all the time. Those kids just work their rear ends off all year to come here, and I'm so happy for them right now."
The crowd got behind the Quakers boisterously as the squad rallied to win the fourth set, 25-21, and fifth, 25-17, for a 3-2 match victory.
Kevin Donahue had 25 kills and Graham Patterson had 24 for Orchard Park.
The first game of the doubleheader was not nearly as tense. Kenmore East jumped to a 10-6 lead, but Lake Shore head coach John Coyle called a timeout and told his team to "loosen up."
"They were tight," Coyle said. "They were nervous. We were playing on our home court and there was more pressure as the higher seed. I told them: 'Relax and things will settle, things will happen.' "
It worked. The No. 3 Eagles went on a 19-6 run to close the set with a 25-16 victory over the No. 4 Bulldogs. Lake Shore was in control throughout the next two sets, claiming the second, 25-19, and the third, 25-20.
Senior Ryan Joslyn's 6-foot-4 frame and springy legs made things tough on the Bulldogs at the net. He dominated for Lake Shore, though Coyle said Joslyn – who made second-team all-conference last season – has been sick this week.
"He may not have been on his 'A game' tonight, but it was still enough to get us over the hump," Coyle said. "He comes through in the clutch."
The winners will play the Section V (Rochester area) champs Saturday in the Western Regionals at Orchard Park High School. Lake Shore will face Brighton at noon and Orchard Park will take on McQuaid at 2:30.

Delian Schneider has high expectations for this season.
Schneider, a 125-pound senior and Columbian graduate, opened the Student Princes' match with Ohio Athletic Conference rival John Carroll by recording a 19-4 technical fall over the Blue Streaks Michael Buckiso.
It was just the beginning of a Heidelberg romp, as it buried John Carroll, 34-9. For Schneider, he improved to 14-8.
"I have one simple goal, and that's to be a national champ," Schneider said. "I'm working out multiple times a day, working on technique in the morning and then our regular practices in the evening. I'm doing everything I can to be a national champ.
Second-year Heidelberg coach Ned Shuck said he likes coaching a wrestler with those types of expectations - expectations he shares.
"Del's one of those kids you like to see; always thinks about getting to the next level, always thinking about a national title," Shuck said. "He's got some work to do to make that happen, and he knows that, but it is easy to coach him."
Shuck said his wrestlers focus on gaining "bonus" points, and the Student Princes got plenty of them Tuesday night. In addition to picking up a pair of forfeits, 141-pounder Chris Osborne scored a 20-3 technical fall on JCU's Doug Hays, then 149-pound senior Andrew John made quick work of the Streaks' Daniel Mirman, pinning him in 1:08.
"I just had to stay with my technique, and what I've learned," Johnson said after improving to 26-10 and scoring his 13th fall of the year. "I've been working on this leg cradle where I step hard to the side, catch his leg, and work into the cradle. That was something I've been working on."
"We know A.J. is a dangerous wrestler, and when he brings it, he can make some things happen." Shuck said. "That kid he just stuck (Mirman) is ranked 10th in the country right now and had a great year."
Heidelberg's other wins were decisions. Damon Cheek, a 149-pound Bellevue graduate, notched a 4-2 win over John Connick in a 165-pound match.
"He did a great job," Shuck said. "Didn't sit around and wait; he got to what he does best and it paid off for him in the end."
In the 174-pound match, Heidelberg's Jeremy Stepp nipped Vinny Jiovenetta, 4-3.
"(Stepp) is one of those kids we're looking to open up more," Shuck said. "He did a little bit more of that tonight, hitting more shots and being more aggressive. He's gonna win those close ones when he continues to wrestle that style."
Heidelberg's final contested win came from freshman heavyweight Nino Majoy, who upended John Carroll's Will Porter, 8-1.
"He (wrestled) really disciplined, smart," Shuck said.
John Carroll won a pair of matches. Terner Gott (157 pounds), ranked No. 4 in Division III, pinned HU's Aaron Banko in 3:36. JCU 184-pounder Bryan Steinmetz scored a 9-4 win over Richard Dowdley.
Heidelberg improved to 10-6, 3-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference. JCU fell to 4-6, 0-3.

I recently moved to Sherwood Oregon (close to the Portland metro area), and I'm looking for a good public land spot to shoot at.
Grateful for your suggestions.

The closest public land to Sherwood will be Tillamook State Forest, about a 1-hour drive to the northwest. Take HWY 217 North to HWY 26 West to HWY 6 West. Brown's Camp is a huge area just off HWY 6 on the way to Tillamook, with mixed use of horse trails, Jeep trails, dirt bike/atv trails, camping, and informal gravel shooting pits. Right across the highway from Brown's Camp is Storeyburn Road, a much less populated area with almost 100% of the use being target shooting (and logging, of course). Storeyburn gets much less attention, and therefore can be snowed in and inaccessible for a couple of months during the winter. But if it's clear, you're almost guaranteed a private shooting spot with a suitable backstop. Just be sure not to shoot at any live trees, or from or across a road, or across a canyon or ravine. And please, please, please clean up after yourself. These areas are littered with junk and trash, and probably won't remain open to target shooting forever if people keep treating them like garbage dumps.

NEW PARIS - Wearing a first-place medal around his neck and a smile, Chestnut Ridge senior Dan Albright was savoring the moment.
"I could woo[hoo] right now," Albright said, "I'm so excited."
There was a good reason for his joy. Albright's 6-4 decision over Bedford's Michael Brett at 195 and Brad Winegardner's 2-1 win over Chance Williams were key for the Lions in their 34-30 win over the Bisons in the District 5 Duals championship Saturday afternoon at Fisher Gymnasium.

Bedford's Caleb Grimes (top) tangles with Chestnut Ridge's Conner Buttry.
"It makes me feel great, actually," Albright said. "I knew I had a tough kid coming into it, but I knew all I had to do was wrestle tough, use my stuff and I'd come out on top. Brad wrestled really tough. His kid was decent, and he battled. Everyone did well."
"We needed a couple more bonus points or one more win," Bedford coach Brian Creps said. "We had our chances at 195 and 220. Whenever they flipped the disk, we knew that's where the chances were to get one extra win. They were great matches, and they came down right to the end."
The win halted the Bisons' five-year run as district champions, and it was the first Ridge title in seven appearances in the championship. Ridge, which beat Berlin Brothersvalley, 45-20, in the semifinals, will open the PIAA Duals on Thursday in Hershey against the District 7 runner-up.
"This has been something we have been thinking about for about 364 days," Ridge coach Greg Lazor said as helped hoist the trophy. "We've always been so close, and Bedford has always been so strong, and they're strong again. It feels really nice to finally win one."
The match actually came down to the last bout. With Bedford, which beat Northern Bedford, 49-27, in the semis, holding a 30-28 lead, Lazor chose top sophomore Trent Crouse over veteran Colby Hillegass to face Kyle Swindell instead of another Crouse-Garrett Thomas matchup.
"Crouse is a boy who won't get rattled," Lazor said. "We felt comfortable with Hillegass in that match, but when you have one of your marquee guys that can go up against one of their guys who has been filling in and out, we just took all of the chance out of it and put in someone we had a lot of faith in."
The move paid off as Crouse built a 5-0 lead, took Swindell down to his back in the second and got the fall in 2:39, sending the Ridge side into celebration mode.
"It would have been great to see Crouse and Thomas one more time," Creps said, "but that's what had to happen in the match."
The interesting part of the move was Crouse didn't know he was going to wrestle until late in the match.
"I had no idea I was going to be the last match," Crouse said. "I thought I was going out against Thomas. I didn't know until Coach came back and told me while Claar and Easter were wrestling. I know Colby is a little bummed out, but I think Coach wanted better for the team."
Bedford (16-3) built a 12-4 lead through the first four weights as Toby Brett pinned Dustin Bence at 145, Tanner Williams beat Kyle Winegardner, 5-0, at 152 and Caleb Grimes scored five third-period points to beat Conner Buttry, 9-4, at 160. Ridge's Jerimiah Zimmerman majored Kenny Collins, 13-1, at 138 to open the meet.
But, then Ridge (20-1) went on a roll. Bradie Bollman (170) pinned Cameron Sheeder, and Tyler Dibert (182) won by forfeit, setting the stage for Albright and Winegardner.
The first period at 195 was filled with flurries, but Albright finally got a takedown with 16 seconds left in the period. Albright added a reversal and takedown in the second for a 6-2 lead.
Brett reversed in the third, and, amid 'Let's go Dan' chants, tried hard to get back points, but Albright avoided danger to win.
"He's a boy you can count on that's going to go hard," Lazor said. "To pick up a big win against Brett, who is also a quality wrestler in the area, that was huge for him."
Winegardner reversed in the second of a scoreless bout, but Williams was given a caution point with 26 seconds left in the period. Winegardner rode him the entire third to earn the win.
"He's the little engine that could," Lazor said. "He's weighing at about 186 pounds wrestling 220, and he battles for us. He's been a great addition. He's been a real pleasant surprise."
Austin Buttry pinned Justin Easter in 2:18 at 285 to give the Lions a 28-12 lead, but the Bisons began another run.
