Quarter choose volunteering over donating in credit crunch - and it's the young leading the way
A quarter of British people have chosen to volunteer their time rather than donate money in the current economic climate, a survey conducted for Volunteers Week (1-7 June) has revealed.
The study by Diamond, official volunteer sponsor of Race for Life 2009, revealed that two fifths of people said the credit crunch has stopped them donating money, with 28% choosing to volunteer their time instead.
The poll of more than 3,000 people also revealed that four out of ten of us have volunteered our time more than once in the last year. But giving money is still more popular as 74% of people donated money to a charity or cause more than once in the last 12 months, with one in ten donating £100 or more.
Diamond's Head of Operations, Nic Weng Kan said, "For many people who are struggling financially, volunteering does seem to be an alternative to donating money to charities and causes and there's plenty of opportunities to volunteer out there.
"Interestingly, the results of our survey turned the stereotype that it's only the older generations who volunteer on its head. In fact, we found that it's the under 18s who are the most likely to regularly volunteer their time than any other age group."
Almost 60% of under 18s have volunteered more than once over the last year, and those aged between 50-55 were the least likely to have volunteered in the last year. 54% of people in this age group said they haven't volunteered at all in the last 12 months; more than double the number for under 18s (25%).
Under 18s are the most prolific volunteers with 15% giving their time to a charity or cause every week compared to an average of 9% across all the age groups.
More people would be willing to volunteer their time to animal organisations than any other organisations (36%), followed by young people (32%) and their local community (29%).

For an aspiring college coach hell-bent on networking, Joey Elliott coveted the time he spent as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy earlier this month in Louisiana.
The Boilermaker quarterback was set up with the gig in large part by former offensive coordinator Ed Zaunbrecher and found himself surrounded by some of nation's finest QBs, highlighted of course by Peyton and Eli Manning.
NFL and college coaches and players worked the camp, putting Elliott in the same company as NCAA stars like Sam Bradford, Jevan Snead and Colt McCoy. Bradford, Oklahoma's quarterback, is the reigning Heisman winner; McCoy was a runner-up.
"They try to get as many college quarterbacks as possible, because kids love working with college quarterbacks," Elliott said. "They go home and say, 'Hey, mom, I worked with this guy that I saw on TV.' Peyton and Eli drive around on a golf cart and jump into whatever drill they want. They're very hands-on. I thought they'd be there a lot less than they were."
Elliott and his fellow collegiate QBs were responsible largely for working with groups of young quarterbacks, manning stations during drills. The Purdue QB's responsibility during one set of drills was the five-step drop, something he rarely, if ever, has been asked to do in the Boilermaker offense.
No matter, Elliott said.
"I pride myself on my drops," he said.
The Evansville native received some positive feedback on his performance.
"I thought it was an honor that afterwards," Elliott said, "I had five or six parents come up and say, 'Hey, my son said your station was the most fun.'"
Elliott said he learned from the experience, particularly from a question-and-answer session the college quarterbacks got with Peyton Manning.
"I worked with him quite a bit," Elliott said. "We had a sit-down session where it was just us college quarterbacks and him where we could ask him anything we wanted, about the NFL, combine stuff and what you need to do, what kind of film work he does, just anything. It was a great opportunity to learn."
But in Elliott's situation, it was also an opportunity to get known. The fifth-year senior will tell anyone who'll listen about his aspirations to coach after college, a career path he plans to embark on immediately upon graduation and has already begun working toward.
Developing contacts among coaches has been a priority for Elliott in recent years, the reason he traveled to the NCAA coaches convention last winter.
Needless to say, the opportunity to be around so many coaches and high-profile athletes was not one he wanted to squander.
"I took it as an honor to go down there and I tried to make as many friends as possible," Elliott said. "I wanted to represent Purdue and represent myself well and do a little work. Obviously there are a lot of big-name coaches and big-name guys down there and it's a résumé-builder, any time you say you got to work with Peyton Manning and Sam Bradford and big names like that. It can't hurt you.
"It's like they say, 'Do as much as possible, be well-rounded and be networking all the time.'"

Entertainment Weekly
The full trailer for World War Z is expected to drop in a few hours, and in the meantime we have a new still featuring Brad Pitt along with a few comments from visual effects supervisor John Nelson about the type of zombies we'll see in the film.
EW provided the still and the following info:
Pitt plays Gerald Lane, a United Nations researcher watching civilization teeter on collapse in the face of a rapacious army of rasping death. How can the relentless hordes be stopped? To answer that question, Lane accepts a mission that pulls him away from his wife (Mireille Enos) and family and sends him on a global search for the plague's dark origins — and, yes, that fact-finding odyssey just might take three PG-13 films to complete, if World War Z gets a lively response at the box office.
After various re-writes and re-shoots, insiders promise the new ending was worth the cost and say the film still has plenty of the inventive spirit of the source material, the 2006 bestseller World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks… But World War Z will also feel the hot Internet wrath of purist fans who are offended that the film's zombies might be better described as the running dead. That's because World War Z follows in the fleet footsteps of Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake in 2005 with its flouting of the shambling zombie tradition set down by George A. Romero's genre-sparking films, beginning with Night of the Living Dead in 1968.
Visual effects supervisor John Nelson (Iron Man) said World War Z's zombies lean more toward sci-fi transformation victims rather than supernatural resurrection subjects. That led to a lot of research into animal behavior, especially for creatures under the amok-time sway of predator appetite or spawning urge. "They are like predatory animals that can't control themselves," Nelson said. "I worked with tigers [while shooting Gladiator], and if you watch them when a horse goes by, they go batty, even if they know they can't reach it. When Zs see humans, they do [the] same thing – they activate. They launch themselves."
He went on to add: "There are a lot of things in nature we're mining as references. They move like birds or school of fish, too, in reactive formations, and it's not because they have a higher level of [shared] thinking or communication – it's about their nature and the fact that their instinct to infect is so basic, efficient, and overpowering. They will go through anything. If they lose both legs, they will walk on their hands. They lock in, and they're like salmon going upstream or sperm swimming to be the first to egg."
Paramount is releasing the Marc Forster-directed adaptation of the Max Brooks zombie infestation novel World War Z on June 21, 2013.

A data processor is an entry-level administrative professional who utilizes a word or number processing device (e.g. computer or typewriter) to input statistics, documentation, lists or any other information into a filing system. She has in-depth knowledge of her firm's record-keeping systems and procedures. She is an independent contributor, not managing anyone.
A data entry processor collects and organizes information prior to entering it into a database. He verifies the accuracy of data, proofreading it for errors. He enters all data into the system he is using. He is proficient on a variety of data processing software including Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and any propriety software his company uses. In certain environments, he may take on other basic administrative duties, including filing, faxing and photocopying.
Data processors are employed in all industries including financial services, media, and retail. A candidate seeking this type of role would find the most success using a staffing agency that specializes in placing professional administrative workers.
To be a successful data processor, a candidate should be comfortable with repetition. She must also be motivated because data processors typically must enter an abundance of data on a strict deadline.
The role of data processor does not require a college degree. The ideal candidate should possess a high school diploma and exceptional typing skills. A diploma in administration from a proprietary school is a plus.
According to Salary.com, in 2009 the average data entry clerk working in the United States earned an annual base salary of $26,631.

Ray Tanner will remain South Carolina's athletics director for the next five years.
Hired two years ago when Eric Hyman left for Texas A&M, Tanner was awarded a two-year extension to his current five-year contract on Friday by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees along with a 7.4 percent raise.
Tanner's new deal, which expires June 30, 2019, pays him $725,000 per year, an increase of $50,000 over the sum he earned in the first two years at the USC helm following his promotion from Gamecock baseball coach.
"I'm extremely grateful for the support, the faith and the confidence from Dr. (Harris) Pastides and the Board of Trustees," Tanner told a small group of reporters shortly after the unanimous vote. "I love being at this university. I had the greatest job in all of college baseball for many years and now I have the greatest athletics director job in the country. So, I'm very humbled and very appreciative of the opportunity to get an extension."
USC's massive decade-long campaign to upgrade its athletic facilities has continued under Tanner's leadership for the past two years. Over the coming months - or next couple of years - new football practice fields, a football indoor facility, the Williams-Brice Stadium plaza, a much-needed track complex, improved Field House (will feature a new six-lane 200-meter fixed bank track with seating), and a state-of-the-art soccer building adjacent to Stone Stadium are all scheduled for construction.
"Every day, it's a responsibility and certainly a challenge," Tanner said. "It's invigorating that we're trying to enhance the opportunities for our student athletes and coaches to compete at the highest level while never compromising integrity from a compliance or academic perspective.
"We want to enhance facilities as we move forward. Our brand as an athletics department is greater than it ever has been. But we're challenged to continue moving forward. I feel that's a major responsibility of mine. We have wonderful coaches here because it's a destination, not a stepping stone. That's great for us."
USC ranks at or near the top of the SEC for some athletic facilities (baseball, basketball, softball, tennis), in the middle tier for others (football, soccer, volleyball) and near the bottom for some (track and field).
One of Tanner's chief objectives for USC over the next few years is lift every Gamecock sport into the upper quadrant in terms of facilities.
"We have numerous facilities right now that are in the top three or four of the SEC," Tanner said. "We're not there for every spot. I would hope by 2019 we feel we are there."
A new structure featuring offices, locker rooms and practice facility for the men's and women's basketball programs could be on the horizon as long as sufficient funding is secured.
"We're continuing to make improvements for men's and women's basketball as far as their practice facilities," Tanner said. "We're enhancing their situation as we speak. But I would like to have a stand-alone facility in years to come."
Where that new basketball building will be located is the key question. Will it be part of a refurbished Carolina Coliseum or located in the Athletics Village?
"I'm not sure where it will be," Tanner said. "We're having ongoing discussions and Coach (Dawn) Staley and Coach (Frank) Martin are involved in those. I love the Village. We have a great opportunity there. But there are a lot of financial challenges. We have to raise a lot of funds to get into that position.
"Those are just part of the projects we're looking at in the future and hope they become reality."
USC has undertaken a feasibility study for a new basketball building in the Athletics Village, Tanner said.
All 19 of USC's athletic teams posted a multi-year score of 950 or better for the third-consecutive year, according to Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics released five weeks ago.
"We're achieving academic success at a high level with Maria Hickman and her staff," Tanner said.
Like the rest of his AD brethren in the SEC and the Big 5 conferences, Tanner faces a seismic shift in how the NCAA operates in the future. The NCAA's vote to bestow autonomy to the Big 5 schools on certain 'athlete welfare' issues looms in August, while the ongoing trial in the potentially landmark 'O'Bannon' case could produce significant changes in the right of athletes to be compensated beyond a scholarship.
"We're going to go through a governance change here shortly and we need to be out front on that as a university," Tanner said. "There will be financial strain, without question, for SEC schools, ACC schools and all the others, especially some of the smaller Division I schools. There is going to be more of a money demand if you go cost of education versus cost of scholarship.
"I support the student-athletes and I think it's time for a change. But there will be financial pressure and we have to be ready to meet those changes."
-- The Executive Committee approved an agreement with Delta Airlines for charter flights for the USC football team to four road games in 2014 - Vanderbilt (Sept. 20), Kentucky (Oct. 4), Auburn (Oct. 25) and Florida (Nov. 15). The Gamecocks will bus to Clemson for the Nov. 29 Palmetto Bowl.
-- Tanner reiterated his desire to build more premium seats at Williams-Brice Stadium since USC is next-to-last in the SEC in that category. "That's an area I would love to change the structure at Williams-Brice," Tanner said.
-- While discussed in the past, Tanner said he would like to see the situation at Williams-Brice changed where the coaches' office are situated at one end of the stadium (north) with the team meeting space at the other (south). "They work tremendously in that environment and never complain," Tanner said. "But that needs to be enhanced with possibly an opportunity to create a different structure in the vicinity. There is going to be other challenges.'

UriParser Class
Parses a new URI scheme. This is an abstract class.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The UriParser type exposes the following members.
|Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
|Gets the components from a URI.
|Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
|Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
|Initialize the state of the parser and validate the URI.
|Determines whether baseUri is a base URI for relativeUri.
|Indicates whether the parser for a scheme is registered.
|Indicates whether a URI is well-formed.
|Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Invoked by a Uri constructor to get a UriParser instance
|Invoked by the Framework when a UriParser method is registered.
|Associates a scheme and port number with a UriParser.
|Called by Uri constructors and Uri.TryCreate() to resolve a relative URI.
|Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
The UriParser class enables you to create parsers for new URI schemes. You can write these parsers in their entirety, or the parsers can be derived from well-known schemes (HTTP, FTP, and other schemes based on network protocols). If you want to create a completely new parser, inherit from GenericUriParser. If you want to create a parser that extends a well-known URI scheme, inherit from FtpStyleUriParser, HttpStyleUriParser, FileStyleUriParser, GopherStyleUriParser, or LdapStyleUriParser.
Microsoft strongly recommends that you use a parser shipped with the .NET Framework. Building your own parser increases the complexity of your application, and will not perform as well as the shipped parsers.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Crispy Fried Chicken — almost unreasonably cheap
Vietnamese-owned Louisiana style
Ian Anderson 12:48 p.m., Sept. 26
Hey, Matt, Whazzup:
What is the deal with castrati singers? I first thought this only happened back in the baroque period, but recently I was listening to an actual recording of one in a history of music CD. So it was happening at least as late as the 19th Century, when they were able to record them. Would any modern singer actually consider this procedure to maintain a youthful singing voice for the rest of his life?
-- Herman the German, the net
I gotta figure the answer to that one is no, but not for the obvious reasons. First of all, the procedure is illegal in some countries. Even where it's not illegal, good luck finding a competent surgeon willing to do the work. Second of all, it was not a choice made by the singer. If the surgery wasn't done before a boy was 11 or 12, he wouldn't retain his youthful pipes. By the time he's old enough to decide independently that castrato is a promising career choice, it's too late.
Most histories trace the popularity of castrati back to the Roman Church's very strict interpretation of scripture, banning women from taking part in services and in the theater. Little boys sang any high parts until music composition and vocal parts got too athletic and complicated for them, after the medieval period. Then Italy imported falsetti from Spain, adult men with trained high voices or maybe the first castrati, nobody's sure about that. (Spain probably got the idea from the Middle East, where some eunuchs were trained to sing.) By the turn of the 16th Century, Italian castrati were warbling the high notes in the Sistine choir.
Removal of the testes before puberty kept a boy's voice from deepening but didn't stop other growth. The best of the castrati had the volume and agility of an adult voice, but with a high, sweet tone, apparently in the soprano or alto range. The altered gentlemen were trained by special voice teachers to strengthen their breath control and singing muscles and were all the rage in operas. Unfortunately, because there were a few very rich and famous castrati in the 17th and 18th Centuries, poor families who saw no future for their sons often had them castrated with the hope of turning them into matinee idols. But if you had a lousy voice to begin with, castration wouldn't change that. Nobody wanted a castrato who sang off key. Eventually castrati were passé on the stage but continued in choirs into the mid-1800s.
The only existing recording of a castrato comes from the first decade of the 1900s. Alessandro Moreschi, director of the Sistine Chapel choir from 1883 to '98, had his surgery in the 1860s. According to reviewers of the CDs that preserve his voice, aside from the crappy recording quality, his voice was long past its prime and sounds kinda spooky. Today the vocal parts written for the castrati are sung by countertenors or sopranos.

An appeals court cited the "atrocity" of his June 2010 crime in rejecting Trevor Reese's argument that a sentence of life in prison without parole was too harsh a penalty for the throat-slashing death of an 8-year-old boy on a recreation trail in The Bluffs on Thompson Creek in St. Francisville.
Reese was a 16-year-old Baton Rouge Magnet High School student at the time of the vicious fatal attack on Jackson "Jack" Attuso, of Clinton. He cut the boy's throat with a box cutter.
Reese, 20, dropped his insanity defense and pleaded guilty in March 2013 to a second-degree murder charge. Twentieth Judicial District Judge William Carmichael sentenced him in August to life behind bars without the benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence.
A three-judge panel of the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal in Baton Rouge affirmed Reese's conviction and sentence Wednesday, dismissing his arguments that the sentence is unconstitutionally excessive and that Carmichael erred in imposing the harshest punishment available.
"We find the murder of a small child to be the worst crime and the defendant to be the worst offender," Circuit Judge Ernest Drake wrote for the panel. "The defendant laid in wait, grabbed the boy and relentlessly attacked him as the boy struggled for his life. The defendant cut his neck, then chased his victim and cut his neck again."
Twentieth Judicial District Attorney Sam D'Aquilla applauded the appellate court's ruling.
"We're really glad that justice prevailed," he said. "Everybody's relieved that the court of appeal ruled like that."
Lance Unglesby, one of Reese's attorneys, said the Louisiana Supreme Court will be asked to review the matter.
D'Aquilla said he's confident Reese's conviction and sentence will withstand further court scrutiny.
Reese, who was originally charged with first-degree murder, was not eligible for the death penalty because he was a juvenile when he killed Attuso. He was sentenced to life without parole following an August sentencing hearing.
Carmichael was obligated by law to conduct the hearing to consider whether Reese should be eligible for parole at some time in the future because of his youthful age at the time of the crime.
The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled in June 2012 that states, including Louisiana, can no longer automatically sentence juveniles to life in prison without parole in murder cases without first holding a sentencing hearing to consider the defendant's youth, upbringing, circumstances of the crime and other factors.
In direct response to that ruling, the Louisiana Legislature approved a measure during the 2013 regular session requiring a sentencing judge to hold a hearing to determine whether the sentence should be imposed with or without parole eligibility. If a sentence is imposed with eligibility for parole, the legislation gives incarcerated offenders a shot at freedom after serving 35 years for first- or second-degree murder, according to the legislation that the governor signed into law.
"We respect the decision of the First Circuit. It is based on the law enacted by the Legislature," Unglesby said. "But nationwide the treatment of juveniles is becoming more humane, and I am confident that our current law will be found unconstitutional by the United State Supreme Court."
Unglesby described Louisiana's law as "draconian" and said it "lacks the foresight of a society that has evolved in its thinking about how to handle juveniles."
In its 10-page decision, the 1st Circuit panel said Reese left the scene as Attuso lay dying in his blood June 10, 2010.
"Given the violence and brutality of the crime, the maximum sentence was justified in this case. The fact the defendant was a first-time offender does little to mitigate the atrocity of the crime," Drake wrote.
Reese also contended Carmichael failed to take into account his youth when sentencing him, gave no weight to evidence of his potential for growth and rehabilitation, and allowed improper victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing.
The appellate court concluded Carmichael did consider Reese's age and the possibility of rehabilitation.
"The trial court learned the defendant came from a good, solid family, was highly intelligent and attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School," Drake noted. "The trial court also learned the defendant showed no remorse after stabbing J.A., and the defendant wanted to be a serial killer."
Reese testified at his sentencing hearing that he attacked the boy "because he was weaker than me. I'm a weak person. I was too scared to attack anyone stronger. OK? I'm terrible, I'm a monster, it was evil. I know that," according to the appeals court decision.
Several medical professionals also testified at Reese's sentencing hearing that he had a fascination with the protagonist in the television series "Dexter" and saw the serial killer presented as a hero and Robin Hood figure.
Attuso's father asked for the maximum sentence at the hearing, and the boy's grandfather described his hatred toward Reese and said if he ever left prison he hoped it would "be feet first in a pine box."
"It must be noted that surely the trial court regarded the testimony of these victim impact witnesses as normal human reactions to the death of a loved one," Drake wrote for the panel that included fellow Circuit Judges Randolph Parro and John Michael Guidry. "That the victim's survivors might have little or no sympathy for the defendant certainly would come as no surprise to the trial court."
