Estia (Greek: Ἑστία) is a national newspaper published daily in Athens, Greece. It is generally considered a broadsheet of a conservative, right-wing political alignment, and an advocate of free-market policies. It is named after the goddess Hestia.
Estia is the only daily written in katharevousa, a purist and archaic form of modern Greek that was abolished as the official administrative language in 1976. The use of katharevousa was previously favored by the conservative press, as opposed to dimotiki, which was favored by the centrist and leftist press. In recent years, however, Estia has adopted a very moderate form of katharevousa. Estia is also the only daily employing the polytonic system of accentuation, which was officially abandoned following legislation in 1982; Estia, nevertheless, uses a simplified polytonic orthography in which the grave accent is replaced by the acute.
Format and layout[edit]
The paper's very first edition was misprinted, with Page 1 being on the back and Page 2 on the front. Adonis Kyrou I. decided to keep printing the paper the same way, and the tradition continued to 1997, when it was abandoned due to technical difficulties arising from the change from linotype machines to computer-editing.
Estia did not switch to a modern computer system until 1997. At that time Unicode-enabled software had become more widely available and it was possible to continue printing the newspaper in the polytonic system. Until then, the newspaper continued to be set and printed using Linotype machines. Estia is one of the few Greek newspapers printed in broadsheet format. It normally contains only about eight pages a day. There are no pictures on the "front" page, and no colour photographs at all. The Greek typeface used for headlines and most of the texts is Asteria.
The paper's most popular column has always been the feuilleton "Pennies, Eidisoules, Perierga" (Strokes, small news, curiosities), noted for its dry, acerbic wit.
In 1876, Adonis Kyrou I founded a weekly publication named Ἑστία, which was a literary magazine similar to the present-day Nea Estia (Νέα Ἑστία) rather than a news-focused paper. Not until 1894 did the well-known poet and journalist Georgios Drosinis transform it into a daily newspaper about politics, culture and finance. In 1941, during the occupation of Greece by the German army, Estia closed, but soon after the liberation it resumed its publication. Estia has been managed by the Kyrou family for more than 120 years. Adonis Kyrou II was its publisher from 1898 to 1918, Achilleus A. Kyrou from 1918 to 1950, Kyros Kyrou from 1950 to 1974, and Adonis Kyrou III from 1974 until 1997, when the paper was taken over by Kyrou's nephew Alexis Zaousis. The current editor-in-chief is L. Dimakopoulou.

Microsoft is killing off its Points system that's primarily used for its Xbox console. The death of Microsoft Points has been a long time coming, and follows Microsoft's move away from the virtual currency towards cash in Windows 8. Sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans have revealed to The Verge that the software maker plans to replace Points with a new gift card system.
The new gift cards will be offered in a similar way to Apple's iTunes vouchers, allowing Xbox owners to purchase true currency to be used to download content. We're told that normal cash transactions, using credit and debit cards, will also be supported. Microsoft currently offers gift cards in its retail stores, but these can only be used for purchases in brick and mortar stores. The new system will work across Microsoft's various marketplaces, including the Windows Store, Windows Phone Store, and Xbox. We understand that Microsoft is planning to unveil the system as soon as E3, with a planned launch later this year in time for the next-generation Xbox console.

Barry, James Munnik Hamilton (2009) Comparison of A₄ neutrino mass models. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
The present neutrino oscillation data are compatible with tri-bimaximal mixing, to leading order. The addition of an A₄ family symmetry and extended Higgs sector to the Standard Model can generate this mixing pattern, assuming the correct vacuum expectation value alignment of Higgs scalars. The effect of deviating this alignment is studied, for different types of A₄ models, with a phenomenological emphasis: the effect of perturbations on the model predictions for the neutrino oscillation and neutrino mass observables. The standard theoretical description of neutrino oscillations is presented, along with a summary of the past, present and future experimental efforts aimed at measuring the neutrino mixing parameters. Additionally, the current constraints on the sum of absolute neutrino masses and the amplitude for neutrinoless double beta decay, which is yet to be observed, are discussed. These constraints provide a model-independent test of family symmetery models. The Standard Model is reviewed, and extensions to the Standard Model such as the seesaw mechanism(s) are discussed: these are designed to endow neutrinos with mass, and can be incorporated into A₄ symmetry models. Models with different A₄ particle assignments are analysed for deviations from tribimaximal mixing. There are nine models presented in Chapter 5, with lepton doublets transforming as 3 and right-handed charged leptons transforming as 1, 1', 1"; five of these include right-handed neutrinos transforming as 3, and make use of the seesaw mechanism. Chapter 6 contains the analysis of six models that assign all leptons to the 3 representation, with four of these utilising the seesaw mechanism. The models are tested for any degree of fine tuning of the parameters that define the mass matrices. The effect of perturbations on the mixing angle observables, in particular sin² θ[subscript 13] and sin² θ[subscript 23], is studied, as well as the effect on the Jarlskog invariant, J[subscript CP] . Investigations of the <m[subscript ee]> - Σm[subscript v] parameter space allow for comparison with current data, and can lead to the possible exclusion of a particular model by constraints from future data.

Five Things You Have To Do Before Snowmobiling In Avalanche Country
1. Get training– Without training you can't read nature's warning signs. Would it be rational to drive on a busy city street and not know what a red octagon means? Blowing through (not stopping at) a stop sign doesn't guarantee an accident, but it certainly increases your chances of a serious collision. Common sense isn't common … it is learned. We simply don't know what we don't know.
There are combinations of snowpack, terrain and travel habits that can get us into trouble. How can you know when you are in danger without training? How can you come up with solutions if you don't even know what the problem is? The best safety tool is sitting on your shoulders. Use it.
2. Practice with your gear– Most sledders realize they should carry a beacon, probe and shovel. Great. But these are rescue tools, they are not safety equipment. This gear does not generate a force field to deflect avalanches.
Can you imagine standing in the debris field of an avalanche with multiple people buried and looking to your buddy and saying "Now what?" The goal is not to find targets. The goal is to save as many lives as possible. Without hesitation you need to draw on the right skills and the right tools for the greatest chance of success. This isn't a movie. There are no re-takes or do-overs.
3. Check the avalanche conditions
Many untrained snowmobilers get caught in avalanches because they don't realize conditions are constantly changing. Free avalanche reports are available online and highlight issues in the current snowpack. This is priceless information. Get the report. It's like having a mountain guide in your pocket. Avalanches are about timing. The message is not "don't go," it is about learning when and where to go.
www.avalanche.org or www.avalanche.ca
4. Select riders equipped for the trip: Attitude, Education and Gear - Some days, some people will need to be left at home. You have complete control over who you ride with. Riding buddies can be assets or liabilities. Liabilities are untrained or unwilling to alter their riding styles to suit the current conditions and consequences. Gather a group of assets: cohesive riders with great gear, great skills and a team approach to enjoy many years of rewarding mountain sledding.
5. Agree on a Plan A & B- Considering all of the above: training, gear, conditions and the strengths of your group members, what expectations should your group set for the day? Get full agreement before you get in the truck. At the staging area or at the bottom of a big hill is not the time to say, "Today is not a good day to climb." Say what? Some of us drive hours for a great day's sledding. For an aggressive rider, the pressure to push forward is strong. However, if the group agreed to a Plan B in the pre-trip stage, it is more likely that the riders will choose a riding day with a wider safety margin.
You can always have a great day in the mountains no matter the avalanche conditions. Training and gear can give riders new options to draw from when nature is telling us to take it easy. We all have the same goals: the best riding day possible and returning home to our family and friends with a big grin pasted on our faces as we walk in the door.
Every trip should be a return trip.

Sherman Alexie
Grove Press
Once upon a time, fairy tales were your favorite reading matter.
You were thrilled with stories of nasty gnomes, ogres, and dragon-slaying heroes. There were princesses, castles, and white horses in those tales, as well as magic, witches, and mayhem. Some of those stories from your childhood had happy endings, but just as many finished in gleeful darkness.
And then you grew up. Princesses got divorced, ogres were in the next lane on the highway, and your stories became much, much more real. So maybe it's time to read "Blasphemy," an anthology of short stories by Sherman Alexie.
Cousins, it's been said, are friends we happen to be related to, and with a relationship like that, it's natural to want to do everything for a cousin who needs us. But in "Cry Cry Cry," a cousin from the Rez asks for love, support, and secrecy.
He only gets two of the above.
In "The Toughest Indian in the World," the narrator of the story says he always helps Indian hitchhikers. When he picks up one scarred money-fighter standing on the side of the road, he learns that even tough guys have vulnerable sides and picking up hitchhikers isn't such a good thing sometimes.
Becoming a parent to your parent is something many of us face, but it's particularly hard when Dad is an alcoholic, diabetic Indian with kidney damage. Add to that, old head trauma from babyhood, and one man is overwhelmed in "War Dances."
Everyone agrees that getting an education is important to one's future success. In "Indian Education," going to school is a struggle for one young Indian boy – not because of what's taught in the classroom, but because of what happens in it.
And in "The Approximate Size of My Favorite Tumor," a man and his estranged wife learn that keeping one another laughing may put life back into their marriage, even as one of them is dying.
I've often said that author Sherman Alexie's writing is an acquired taste. His stories aren't always easy to digest, but "Blasphemy" is a chance to sample Alexie, small bite by small bite, until you've got a good appetite built up.
What's unusual about these short works is that they don't begin or end as do most tales. Stories sometimes start in the middle of a thought, and they often exit that way. In between, there's melancholy and sadness, wry observations and get-you-thinking commentary – sentiments that make you feel as though you've secretly been run over by a steamroller.
The stories here – some new, some classic – also include humor that pounces on its readers without warning, and some sudden, brief lightheartedness amid pathos. Then, as if to reassure us that it's only fiction, this book ends with a sad smile.
If you're an Alexie fan already, here's something you'll be proud to put on your bookshelf. If you're new to this author, take your time with it, savor each story, and let them hit you slowly. Like life in general, "Blasphemy" isn't always happily ever after.

What started as a small business hobbled together by a group of Cistercian monks has turned into a $10 million ebusiness. How they did it is instructive for both nonprofits and businesses.
First, the monks enlisted the help of a two-woman marketing group (Sarah Caniglia and Cindy Griffith) that studied the monks' culture and beliefs and then developed a business plan around them. (Caniglia and Griffith run MonkHelper Marketing, Inc., the company that manages LaserMonks.com on the monks' behalf.)
That business plan has as its core two principles: giving all of the profits generated from the business back to the community through various kinds of charity; and customer service based on the tradition of hospitality the Cistercians have provided to strangers for nine hundred years.
LaserMonks, which sells ink and toner cartridges, keeps expenses low by avoiding traditional marketing and advertising and using drop shippers for distributing the products it sells. This enables the business to provide, after expenses, all of its profits to charity, thus effectively differentiating itself from the competition
The marketing component is filled by letting customers know that they are helping the community through their purchases which results in wonderful word-of-mouth marketing and unusual customer loyalty over the long term.
Caniglia and Griffith, authors of the book about LaserMonks, explain how they sell a concept to their customers of "purchasing with a purpose." The website and all customer contact help involve customers in the process of giving. Adding this "emotional" appeal to the otherwise hard-edged business of printer supplies makes all the difference for a sizable group of consumers.
Here are the attributes that make LaserMonks successful:
- A unique business model and message. No other ink and toner retailer donates its profits to people in need. Customers get the products they need and feel good about helping others,
- Quality product. The good feelings would soon go away if LaserMonks did not provide the best quality product. They do, both in the brand name area and in remanufactured and refilled cartridges.
- Superior customer service. LaserMonks goes way beyond the standards of good service. Their customers are often amazed at what the company will do from replacing products to refunds to enclosing freebies as a thank you in orders. They also train their workers, who also feel that they are a part of the LaserMonks ethos and participate actively in the charitable activities.
- Competitive pricing. LaserMonks does not aim to be the lowest-cost provider but it does stay competitive within the industry. LaserMonks does not engage in pricing wars.
- Change as the market changes. The organization takes planning and research very seriously. They are on top of new products, new web enhancements and new approaches to inventory management.
- Creative approaches to marketing. From the beginning LaserMonks has engaged in grassroots marketing approaches and handle it all in house.
- Honesty and integrity. By always acting in line with the Cistercian code of open dealings, customers, suppliers and partners not only know that they will be handled well but they also reciprocate in their own actions.
LaserMonks demonstrates that "business" can transcend our stereotypes of commercialism and still be successful. In fact, such transcendence actually aids profitability.
What a terrific example and case study for a nonprofit that runs subsidiary businesses; and for businesses that want to distinguish themselves through good works.
LaserMonks: The Business Story Nine Hundred Years in the Making, Sarah Caniglia and Cindy Griffith, McGraw Hill, 2008.

After a long Christmas holiday break I am back online and ready with the first of this year's WOW- Website Of the Week. Australian teachers will be starting (however reluctantly) to get back into school mode now and this week's website is an excellent resource to kick start your new class' spelling program- www.spellingcity.com This website is simple to use and has huge benefits for students.
Teachers can set up weekly word lists (or students can add their own) and the students can then either press 'teach me,' 'test me' or a 'play a game.' The website actually creates games such as hangman using the word list entered. It even tests the words using an audio version of your word (and even puts the word in a sentence) – AMAZING! This site allows you to have multiple levels of lists happening in your class without the need to spend hours testing all the different groups. Once the students complete the test they can print off a full report on how they went.
Here's the WOW poster for this week: spellingcity

If you're looking for one of the most affordable hotels within walking distance to all the main Santa Fe sights and attractions, look no farther than the Santa Fe Sage Inn. The Santa Fe Sage Inn is located directly across the street to the newly developed Railyard Park, which has an array of shops, restaurants, art galleries and events…everything is so close that you'll never have to get in your car to explore. At the Sage Inn, they like to say, "we connect you to the heart of Santa Fe." As you watch the video below you'll see just how true their slogan is.
The Santa Fe Sage Inn has 155 rooms, with two accommodation levels to choose from, standard and superior—each has two configurations available, king, or double queen. There isn't a lot of difference between the standard and superior, but the superior rooms do have a mini fridge and full length mirror, along with some decorative trim that sets them apart.
There are a number of free amenities included in your room stay…for starters, there is a free shuttle to downtown (six blocks away) that runs each hour on the hour. Additionally, there is a 24-hour fitness room, laundry facility, pool, free wi-fi and a free "sunshine" breakfast each morning. I was particularly impressed with how friendly and accommodating the staff was…they really go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable and make sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. They even organize a "City Different" walking tour, which will educate you on the history and culture of Santa Fe. The tours run three days a week from May to October and cost just $12. Click here for more information.
Santa Fe is one of my favorite places to visit, during my recent stay I checked out some new places, as well as some of the classics. Santa Fe was the winner of the 2012 Rand McNally and USA Today's "Best of the Road" for best food in small town America—one of the reasons was surely its unique identity and distinct culinary flavors. One place you can learn about the "New Mexico" style of cooking is at the Santa Fe School of Cooking…I participated in a taco cooking demonstration one day. We learned the history behind the taco, some of the various ingredients that can be used…then, we got our hands into the process of preparing a feast for all to enjoy.
While in Santa Fe you may want to look the part, so two places to check out are, Kowboyz for vintage western wear, and Sissel's for authentic Indian jewelry and accessories. If a game of 9-ball, live music and libations are for you, head over to Cowgirl. Speaking of places to eat, a nearby Santa Fe staple is Tomasitas…a family-run Mexican food restaurant that features a world-class mariachi band on Tuesday nights—this all-female mariachi performed at the 2012 Olympics in London.
On Tuesday and Saturdays, directly across the street from the Santa Fe Sage Inn, the Railyard has a farmer's market and art show. You'll often see some amazing musicians and performers in the area entertaining passersby. For the best selection of locally produced goods, get there early as many of the vendors sell out. After perusing the market, you may want to check out some of the nearby world-class art studios and galleries.
Next time you're in New Mexico and you want to stay in the heart of Santa Fe, consider the Santa Fe Sage Inn for your lodging needs. If you've ever stayed at the Sage Inn, please leave a comment below and share your experience with my readers and me.

Ebay and Amazon ordered to hand over names of biggest traders in HMRC tax crackdown
Ebay and Amazon have been ordered to surrender tens of thousands of members' details to the taxman as part of a crackdown on online trading.
HM Revenue and Customs has issued legal notices asking for the data, including names and email addresses.
Companies that do not comply promptly could be fined £300, with an additional £60 per day if they fail to respond by the end of the month.
Nowhere to hide: HMRC has issued legal notices asking for the details of thousands of Amazon and Ebay sellers (posed by model)
HMRC has already written to thousands of people who may not have declared all the tax they owe relating to internet sales. It hopes to raise millions of pounds by targeting online traders, who have until June 14 to come forward and benefit from a reduced penalty of 20 per cent of the tax owed. The penalty will then rise to 100 per cent, but in the worst cases traders could face prosecution.
Last year Greg Allnutt, 40, an eBay user from Croydon, was jailed for 20 months for evading £430,000 of tax while selling electrical goods on eBay between 2007 and 2010.
Guy Smith, of tax consultancy firm Abbey Tax, said HMRC's campaign would be 'a hammer blow to those who have traded without detection so far'. Previous targets of HMRC crackdowns include Avon ladies, Ann Summers party hosts, doctors, dentists, plumbers and those with off-shore bank accounts.
The initiatives are said to have helped the taxman claw back £500million so far.
A spokesman for HMRC said: 'If you are an online seller with undeclared income, you should come forward and put your tax affairs in order before HMRC catches up with you.'
They stressed that the focus would be the sites' 32,500 biggest traders.
Ebay said it works 'hard to ensure that businesses that trade on the platform are aware of their tax obligations'.
It added: 'We do not hesitate to share information with government agencies should there be evidence of wrongdoing. We require all sellers trading as a business on eBay to register for a business account.'
Launched in the UK in October 1999, eBay is the country's largest online marketplace, with more than 14million active users – although only around 178,000 of these run a business or use eBay as their primary or secondary source of income.
Its rival Amazon Marketplace was launched in 2000, and allows individuals and other businesses to sell items through the main Amazon website. Amazon did not respond for comment.

Sam a/k/a "Ladies' Man"
Sam is the self-proclaimed ladies' man on the Genius' team. The other biological sciences and chemistry major on the team, Sam upped his genius level by adding a major in economics with finance application.
This genius/ladies' man comes with a big heart. His main motivation to winning on the show is to open a college fund for his best friend's newborn son. He hopes to one day become a doctor and open a free geriatric clinic– what a guy!
Since the show comes from the producers of "The Da Vinci Code," adapted from the book by Dan Brown, perhaps Sam will be able to pull knowledge from his favorite book, Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Also, since contestants will be tested on their wits and strength, we may see Sam's love of mountain biking and scuba diving put to good use.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — I think it is admirable that Cherryland Electric is working with TCL&P to launch a solar project that could benefit the area. General Manager Tony Anderson states that a goal is to offer solar without subsidies. I have to ask myself, why not subsidize solar? Every other form of energy we use is heavily subsidized. Why should solar have to stand alone? In fact, solar is a great investment. If you build a coal plant, which must be heavily subsidized, you still have to buy the coal. After you invest in solar, you get energy free. You don't make the air filthy with carbon either. I hope Great Lakes Energy follows suit.

Tools for teaching the Gospel
Music for kids
"Peace" on To Be Like Jesus gets me everytime. Want to fill your home with the Gospel? Here's a good place to start.
Bible verses set to music for kids
"The word is the lamp to my feet and the light to my path, by the word of the Lord were the Heavens made ... "
These were the words I heard my daughter singing to herself the other day while she worked on homework. What joy it brings me to hear my little one singing Bible verses!
She's learning these songs from the Seeds Family Worship CDs. Her favorite is Seeds of Courage. I especially like that when you order the CD, they give you a second copy. If you want to arm your kids with God's word, I strongly recommend checking out this music.

I always pull for both teams throughout the year except on this day. When I first moved here, I rooted so hard for Ark to win (being a die hard razorback) that my husbands family and friends would razz me terribly. But over the past 11 1/2 years I have become a true TIGER fan. So now my family and friends back home razz me - I just can't win.
I used to say oh well either way it's a SEC win but that doesn't work anymore :(
So all that being said. I am going to 1st wish for a great game with no injuries and 2nd root for an LSU WIN! Will they cover the -12.5 Lordy who knows I sure hope so. Personally I'd love to see LSU win by 20 or more just so I can say NANA NANA BOO BOO! but for some reason I just doubt that will happen. My husband says LSU will win in a high scoring game. I am not sure I agree with latter but I sure hope he's right about LSU.
No matter what you guys play - I wish you luck but I'd sure be grateful if you'd all pull for an LSU WIN!
Barb aka: Bob, Robert, babs, bobs, Bobalou and any other name that insures an LSU win
And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...
Usually on a broomstick but we're flexible like that

The Story of OpenAL
Loki and Creative announced their initiative during GDC, and we published the initial specification draft written by Michael Vance. Since then, the scope and requirements have changed quite a bit, and a lot of additional work was done during the last half-year. While our original focus was solely on 3-D spatialized sound, we now have to support stereo and multichannel formats, some of which (like MP3) are quite proprietary. Compression and streaming proved to be difficult issues. More than one solution was implemented, and it was a suggestion from Ian Ollman on the OpenAL mailing list which led to the adoption of buffer queueing to handle streaming audio. The more actual and potential features we had to account for, the more paranoia had to be applied to the API. Backward compatibility was broken not once, not twice, but several times, with extensions added to keep deprecated features available for the games we had already shipped: Soldier of Fortune followed Heavy Gear 2 and was followed by SimCity 3000 Unlimited. By now, Unreal Tournament uses OpenAL as well, and upcoming ports of games based on the UT license will inherit this feature. Cognitoy's Mindrover uses OpenAL under Linux, and they, as well as a few other Windows developers, await the release of Win32 OpenAL drivers with hardware support. At the moment, practically all games that use OpenAL do so under Linux, but other platforms will hopefully follow soon.
Between three of us at Loki, and Jean-Marc Jot, Garin Hiebert, Carlo Vogelsang and others from Creative Labs, the OpenAL specification has progressed to a final draft of the version 1.0—a reasonably complete, solid foundation that covers the DirectSound3D feature set, at the same time deviating from it in many details. For example, buffers are strictly separate from sources and are shared among them. Some of the differences are rather subtle, like the distinction between clamping and reference distances, or the explicit definition of the reference velocity used in Doppler calculations. In some cases, like the handling of multichannel data, we still strive to get away with a minimal extension to the API.
To a degree, the biggest accomplishment at this stage is not so much the Specification Draft itself, but what we have learned in the process. While we are still far from finished, we have established a work flow and a reference for RFC's, proposals, discussions and revisions. We borrowed a little from the IETF and quite a lot from the way OpenGL is extended and modified. The toolchain we currently rely on—the SGML version of the DocBook DTD, and the respective Linux parser and formatting tools—comes with a couple of loose ends, and while the document has become more modular, the layout and rendering leaves a lot to be desired. Extensions have been proposed for various features, but implementations have not yet been provided. Our decision to follow the example SGI set with OpenGL—in several senses—has preserved the initial momentum that vanished from the earlier OpenAL efforts. In a way, choosing the name "OpenAL" has to be understood as a clear commitment to a vendor-neutral, open solution, and I think we have kept the promise.
The next milestone will be the official closure on the final draft of the 1.0 specification, followed by releases of hardware OpenAL drivers for Windows, Linux and other platforms. To fulfill its promise, OpenAL will depend on efficient driver support, a task that has to be addressed by Creative and other IHVs. Loki encourages IHVs to try open-source solutions, but the ultimate decision is theirs. This is a necessary side effect of an open standard—just as every free software project has the right to implement the OpenAL API, companies can choose to implement proprietary versions. Given the relative importance of optimized implementations and improved algorithms for audio SDKs and drivers, it will take time to make a case for shared infrastructure and open source.
Beyond the current specification, we have now a much clearer roadmap for the OpenAL 1.1 revision. The feature set defined by the IASIG I3DL2 guidelines, which are largely based on submissions by Creative, will be added as a vendor-specific extension, aiming for a vendor neutral solution in 1.1. A lot of feature requests and additions have to be reviewed, as issues we set aside for OpenAL 1.0 have to be resolved. Given the small amount of users at this time, we have already gotten some rather unexpected and quite surprising inquiries. The context handling API, ALC, will have to prove itself on several platforms before we can confidently expect that, unlike OpenGL, we will have a portable solution at the context/device level as well. The API, currently minimizing entry points at the expense of tokens, might find a different balance once the semantics are found stable. Meanwhile, we continue to port new games, and while each one has its own different idea about resource and state management, we find the existing API to be quite sufficient. Aside from new, orthogonal features like microphone capture, the majority of the work required is related to streaming and additional codecs. Ironically, the API road map does not aim for handling reflection and occlusion geometry at this point. While it still might make sense to explicitly support large reflectors, the game engines are usually much better equipped to determine obstruction and occlusion, and our objective for OpenAL has shifted to allow the application coder to express the consequences of such conditions. The battlefield has shifted to questions about use of OpenAL for composition instead of straightforward spatialization, generalization of vendor-specific features or abstraction of proprietary solutions. HRTFs, initially considered to be outside the scope of AL and better left to device configuration and driver implementation, have emerged as a possible addition, based on Sensaura's work in this area. Support for Dolby, which was on Aureal's road map, would probably be desirable as well. The implications of the Khronos Initiative for streaming multimedia, spearheaded by SGI, with respect to OpenAL has to be clarified—like OpenGL, extensions for interoperability might be added to OpenAL in the future.
Beyond the design and coding work, OpenAL's organization will have to evolve. What is currently a loose cooperation between volunteers, with a few companies thrown into the mix, will have to be established as a nonprofit organization. Again borrowing from OpenGL's example, there will be an architecture review board, a voting process and all the other structures that come with incorporating open standards. Unlike OpenGL, the sample implementation and the eventually written conformance test suite will be open source. Much like OpenGL, the use of the trademark will be restricted to those who passed the conformance test in some authorized, official way.
The importance of all this is exemplified by Brian Paul's Mesa: like no other free software project I can think of, his clean room implementation of the OpenGL API has, over more than five years, led to the hardware accelerated, 3-D-graphics-capable Linux machines we have today. It was Mesa that provided the framework, and 3dfx's Linux Glide that provided the driver, which brought hardware rendering to Linux (Quake) gaming in the first place. Without SGI's diligent work on their OpenGL specification, and their support for Brian Paul, we might not have the DRI open-source solutions for Linux and probably would not have the proprietary NVidia drivers either. If anything, we want OpenAL to match what OpenGL accomplished for Linux and other non-Windows platforms. For Loki, the most important goal now is to get hardware support on Linux—and Windows: ultimately, we want our fellow game developers to choose open standards over closed ones.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Believe it or not, there were crazier things in Alabama than Melanie Griffith's over-the-top acting in this 1999 film directed by her husband, Antonio Banderas. There was the craziness of putting two perfectly decent stories into one movie, combining flat-out comedy with drama. An experienced director would have realized the impossible task of mixing the brutal reality of 1965 Alabama racism with the wacky would-be actress life of Lucille (Griffith). The flipping back and forth between the two stories seems completely contrived. It appears to be an attempt to use comedic moments to wipe up any sad feelings the audience may have concerning the racism story line. Griffith has given wonderful performances in Cecil B. Demented, Paradise, and Something Wild, but her light did not shine as brightly in this film. Banderas does his best to make the camera linger longingly on her during her grand entrances and exits, however this can't overcome 111 minutes of bad acting. The film's one redeeming quality is Slingblade's Lucas Black, in another standout performance.

How to Retire a Millionaire
These steps will help you enter retirement with $1 million or more in the bank.
I'm going to share a little secret with you. I know how to become a millionaire. I'm not talking about the next big stock tip, winning the lottery, or signing a million dollar sports contract. I'm talking about how you can become a millionaire. In principle, it's easy. Here is how anyone can become a millionaire.
[See America's Best Affordable Places to Retire.]
Don't be a slave to a lender. No one ever borrowed their way to wealth. If you want to become a millionaire you need to kick debt to the curb like it's a bad habit —because it is. Compound interest is an amazing force when it is working for you. But when debt works against you, look out.
Make it a point to pay off your debt as quickly as you can. Pay your credit cards in full each month, refinance your mortgage to a lower rate if you can, and pay extra on car payments or other bills. If you have a good credit score you can transfer your credit card balance to a 0 percent interest credit card and save hundreds on interest payments. The money you save by repaying your debt early can then be used toward a greater purpose—financial freedom.
[See How to Play Defense with Retirement Savings.]
Think like a millionaire. It's common to try to spend less than you earn. But if you want to become a millionaire, you need to think like a millionaire. Try this phrase instead: earn more than you spend. The difference is subtle, but powerful. Earning more than you spend makes this statement proactive. To become a millionaire you need to be proactive.
Invest for growth. Investing is the premier method for building wealth. The eventual goal is to reach the point where your investments earn more money for you than your day job. But until you get there, you need to feed your investments. Take advantage of any tax breaks you can find, especially your employer sponsored retirement plan, Roth IRAs, and other retirement accounts with tax advantages. If you are maxing out your retirement plans, begin making contributions to other investments. Here are some beginner investment strategies.
[See A Simple Way to Become Wealthy.]
Add time. You're unlikely to become a millionaire overnight. Becoming a millionaire is a process that takes years and maybe even decades to achieve. But it is a dream well worth chasing.

After nearly a decade at the helm, Squalicums Reed Richardson will not be coaching the Storm football team next season.
Richardson and Squalicum Athletic Director Patrick Brown confirmed by phone that Richardsons year-to-year contract will not be renewed for 2014. The decision was made Wednesday, Jan. 22.
In eight seasons (2006-13), Richardson compiled a 39-43 record and reached the Class 2A district playoffs four times. The Storm advanced to districts each year from 2008-10 and are coming off a 4-6 record last season.
Brown, in a phone interview, declined to comment when asked why Squalicum decided to move on but did give a statement about Richardsons eight seasons as the Squalicum head football coach.
First and foremost, Mr. Richardson is very passionate about football and our kids, Brown said. He put in a lot of time and effort into our program. I thank him for that and all the energy he put in to help our program grow.
Brown declined to comment on all further questions, including how he would describe Squalicums 2013 performance, what affect a possible student petition to bring Richardson back may have and when the Storm will hire a new coach.
Richardson also declined to comment on the contract-renewal process but made it clear there were absolutely no allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct.
Richardson said he was informed of the news the Wednesday before winter break, but the decision didnt become official until Wednesday, Jan. 22.
Im not excited about their decision, Richardson said.
The longtime coach is still very active at Squalicum. He teaches advanced placement classes and helped construct an AP human geography program. Richardson said his absence from football wont affect his teaching career.
They said it had nothing to do with my teaching, Richardson said. My principal told me, Youre a great teacher. Ill absolutely still teach.
Richardson had a career .475 winning percentage, but he put together three winning seasons. His best record was 6-4, which he had in both 2006 and 2012. The Storm won six of its first seven games in 2012, but lost its final three, including a 44-16 defeat to Archbishop Murphy during the Class 2A Northwest District Playoffs.
Last year followed a similar pattern, as Squalicum began 3-1 then lost its last five games of the regular season before beating Cedarcrest 64-36 during a crossover game.
You always want to win more games, Richardson said. That would have been nice. I look at last year; we started two freshmen both ways. We had a few seniors, but we also had two or three different sophomores start both ways. I dont see it as a horrible year.
What Richardson considers success goes beyond on-field production.
He said he wanted honesty, integrity, pride and family to be the foundation of his program.
I think weve done that, he said. I think thats exactly what weve done. I think the kids that came through would say that they were treated like family. We were honest and showed integrity with each of them. I think all of them would say that.
Part of the reason Richardson didnt consider 2013 a down year was because of those intangible qualities he said he prides his team in having.
Richardson said his team had fun, and he was extremely proud of the groups 3.2 grade-point average. He said there were very few discipline problems and added that it showed character of the kids we had.
At least a few in the Squalicum community have expressed dismay with the decision to cut ties with Richardson. A Facebook page entitled Keep Richie as Our Football Coach was created Wednesday, Jan. 22, and it had 322 likes as of late Friday, Jan. 24.
I appreciate the support from the kids, from staff members at Squalicum, from the community, Richardson said. It feels good to know they have your back.
Brown would not comment on what effect the Facebook page or a petition may have on Richardsons coaching future.
The longtime coach said he plans to take some time off before getting back on the football field.
Ive gotten a couple of calls asking, To come coach with me as kind of a dry run, Richardson said. I think at this point I want to take a little more time. I have a 7-year-old daughter who means the world to me. Richardson also wanted to thank his wife, Lisa Richardson.
She has been a wonderful coachs wife through eight years of watching film, he said. She has been absolutely incredible.

From staff reports
BRETHREN — The St. Francis girls set two school records, won 10 events and qualified 10 to the state meet en route to capturing the 17-team Division 4 regional track title Saturday at Brethren.
The Gladiators finished with 147 points. Onekama was second with 90.
"We scored in every event," St. Francis coach Julie Duffing said. "Isn't that amazing? It was a great day.
"This is just an amazing group of athletes. It's the hardest working team I've ever coached."
Senior Lauren Buckel and freshman Holly Bullough led the charge. Buckel won the 400 in a school record 59.27. She also took the 200 (26.32) and was part of two winning relays. Madeline Zamarron, Grace Meachum, Kaitlyn Hegewald and Buckel set a school record in taking the 800 relay (1:47.83). Hegewald, Maddy Danz, Erin McDonnell and Buckel claimed the 1600 relay (4:17.4).
Bullough was unbeatable, too. She cruised in the 800 (2:18.2), 1600 (5:09) and 3200 (11:43.5). She teamed with Danz, Krissi Dressler and McDonnell to capture the 3200 relay (10:04.4).
Meachum won the 100 (13.0) and Chandler Tarrant the pole vault (8'). Meachum added a second in the long jump (15'8.5").
"We won every running event with the exception of the two hurdles and the 400 relay," Duffing said.
The Gladiators were third in the 400 relay while Tarrant placed fifth in the two hurdles. Hegewald added a third in the 400.
Evart ran away with the boys title with 158.5 points. St. Francis was second with 67 and Suttons Bay third with 58.
The Gladiators had nine boys qualify for the state meet in six events.
"Huge difference from a year ago," St. Francis coach Jolie King said.
Damon Sheehy paced St. Francis. He won the 200 (23.14) and tied a school record that dated back to 1983 in finishing second in the 100 (11.0). Sheehy also anchored the 400 relay that took second (45.32). He teamed with Dan Connolly, Wes Nelson and Adam Armour.
Connor Archer placed second in the high jump (6'1") and joined Nelson, Pat Lewis and Sheehy in finishing third in the 800 relay (1:35.17).

The opportunity to combine his passions of art and psychology in a project that will benefit a population about which he cares deeply—GLBT elders—is almost a dream come true for Clinical Counseling student Gregg (Cal) Calvird. But it is a vision that he will soon transform into reality.
As one of Chicago's 33 recently named Albert Schweitzer Fellows, Calvird will spend the coming year using the concept of "value-neutral art" to decrease social isolation and increase self-esteem in an older-adult population served by Center on Halsted's SAGE (Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders) program. The project's purpose will be to tap into each individual's creativity and focus on the artistic process rather than the end product.
"Value-neutral art allows people to stay with their own intuition and their own energy, rather that reacting to what others might think about what they're creating," he says. "It's all about the kind of art you did when you were younger without worrying about making a mess. It isn't important that it's 'good art.' What's important is that it's your art."
Calvird's fellowship will enable him to use the activity—one that he has spent seven years facilitating with a diverse population at Evanston's Open Studio Project—to engage and motivate the center's GLBT clients who are 45 and older. A critical aspect of the project is that, in addition to taking part in the activities, these clients will help develop it.
"While I have my ideas about how a program like this should look, I am very open to having the participants help define it," he says, adding that if their ideas differ dramatically from his, he is prepared to find a way to balance the two ways of thinking.
"There's a difference between the healthy resistance of people who want to define their own goals and those of people who don't want to engage in new activities that can be scary—like artmaking or sharing their own writing," he explains. "It may become a question of where do I let go of my ideas, or where do I draw a boundary and say that I think this is an essential part of the program and we need to at least try it my way."
However the program development process goes, Calvird is committed to its culmination in an activity that engages SAGE clients on a new level and encourages their interaction. The plan he envisions is a 12-week series of workshops in which participants will create art, write about it, and share their written thoughts with others in the group. A key aspect of the group process—and what makes it value-neutral art—is that clients will neither criticize nor compliment one another's work.
"I'm always amazed at the inner wisdom and creative intuition that comes out during this process," Calvird says.
Serena Worthington, who directs the SAGE program, is anticipating the benefits that the project will bring to her clients.
"It's a powerful model and unlike any other programs that we offer the center," she says. "While we do have clients who participate in an open-art studio here, Cal's project is designed as a very nonjudgmental model that encourages people to work as individuals but establishes intimacy through the shared-group process. It can help people overcome anxieties about their artwork and to make it possible for them to delve deeper into the process."
Although she and Calvird have been talking about starting a program of this type since Center on Halsted opened two years ago, it came down to a matter of resources.
"Cal went out and found his own funding so that we could do it," she says.
The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship proved a perfect fit for the project. Awarded annually to graduate students in 11 selected cities, the fellowships enable recipients to launch health-related service projects that benefit underserved communities. Recipients are also expected to remain "Fellows for Life" who continue to take an active role in community service and to live Dr. Schweitzer's reverence-for-life philosophy.
A former glassblower and clinical massage therapist who decided on a career in psychology after turning 40, Calvird is the second TCS student to be chosen as a Schweitzer Fellow. In 2008, School Psychology student Laura Granros received a fellowship to develop Storyworks, an after-school reading program for disadvantaged children. Click here to read her interview.
Calvird's fellowship requires him to devote a minimum of 200 hours of service and to create a program that can be sustained after funding ends.
"We are so excited to have this program at Center on Halsted," Worthington said. "It will provide a wonderful option for clients who are interested in a high-quality program based on art and writing."

Editor's note: On Saturday we linked to a Pasadena Star News article about a chicken-killing bear in Altadena: it appears the bear was actually in La Cañada Flintridge. La Cañada Flintridge Patch Editor Donna Evans filed this report.
When the squawking startled her awake, La Cañada Flintridge resident Wendy Blair expected to see raccoons digging into her chicken coop again.
Instead, she saw a hulking California black bear and a lot of chicken feathers.
"It was horrifying. My children are still frightened,'' she said Monday, three days after a bear wandered onto her property in the 1700 block of Bonita Vista Drive and ate four of her nine chickens. The bear ripped the wire off the coop, snatched the birds and left remnants of their carcasses strewn about her back yard.
Blair's five children, mother and dog were safely asleep in the house during the 2:30 a.m. incident. The shrieking chickens awoke the family and prompted Blair to investigate. And when she saw a large, furry arm, it just didn't register, she said.
Blair called 911, but by the time deputies from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department's arrived, the bear had lumbered off. Lt. Angela Shepherd said Monday while authorities responded to Blair's 911 call, they did not see a bear on the property. She added that it is not unusual for bears to wander into yards at the base of the mountain.
Andrew Hughan, public information officer for California Department of Fish and Game said a warden for the department verified a bear was involved, based on tracks in the dirt and the deceased chickens, but it is not the agency's policy to search for the bear, he said. Unless the bear is harming a human, there's nothing Fish and Game can do, he said.
This left Blair feeling helpless - especially when the bear came back.
"I banged my pots and pans and the bear took off, but I keep thinking it'll come back again,'' she said, noting she's not slept very well since the incident.
For now, the remaining hens are secured at nighttime - during the day they roam the sizable back yard - in the plywood and wire coop. Blair considers the hens pets, and said her children play with them. Even her Boxer, Bruiser, runs around with the chickens.
According to Blair, her neighbor, John Peterson, last spotted the bear about 6:30 a.m. Thursday, as he left his home en route to the gym. He took pictures of a large bear on a nearby lawn - a picture she first spotted on another neighbor's Facebook page. So for all that's negative about the situation, she said, one positive is she's gotten to meet more of her neighbors.
Another negative was that Blair's husband was out of town when the bear attack happened. Fortunately, though, her mother, Marilyn Salinas, was visiting from Phoenix, so the two comforted Blair's children, ages 19 months to 12 years.
"I'm glad I was here. But I'm ready to go home,'' Salinas said Monday.

Last week city councilmemeber Pedro Gonzalez was appointed mayor of South San Francisco for the third time, and he is half-way through his 13th year on the council. He told Patch that he never expected to stay on the council for this long, but he had a lot of people rooting for him. Gonzalez already gets calls from people urging him to run again when this term ends in Nov. 2013.
In 2000, when a city councilmember vacated a seat mid-term, Gonzalez's phone started ringing.
"'Did you apply yet?' people kept asking me," he said from his office in City Hall on Tuesday. Gonzalez was hesitant to apply because at the time he was settled into a position as president of the Historic Old Town Homeowners and Renters Association. But at the very last minute, within the hour before the deadline, he applied; and later on, he was appointed.
Gonzalez had run unsuccessfully for city council the year prior when a colleague at the homeowners association told him that the growing Latino community in South City needed someone to represent them.
"They need a bridge between government and the police department and the community," Gonzalez said. "So I saw a need and jumped in."
Building that bridge has been a key component of how he has viewed his role on the council over the past decade.
"I've been trying to get the Hispanic community involved and to speak up so they can be part of the game," he said, "part of the system."
In addition to giving a voice to a key South City demographic, there are plenty of pressing issues on Gonzalez's desk. Though he's more optimistic about the economic health of the city than he was four years ago, right after the US economy had crashed.
At the top of the mayor's mind is how to make up for the funds the city no longer has at its disposal to provide affordable housing, now that the state dissolved all redevelopment agencies. That agency allowed South City to use a portion of property taxes for affordable and market-price housing. Now, Gonzalez said, the state is requesting the city actually give back certain properties that had been purchased with redevelopment agency funds.
"We're still fighting to [retain] some of those properties," he said. "Our challenge is to see what other programs can work [in place of the redevelopment agency] to create that housing."
Other items at the top of the Gonzalez's to-do list are: addressing homelessness; continuing to foster revitalization of the local economy since the national downturn in recent years; and continuing to improve safety in partnership with the South San Francisco Community Coalition for Safe Neighborhoods, which was created in response to street violence in 2010.
Gonzalez served as mayor in 2004 and in 2008. The role of mayor is not dramatically different from that of other city councilmembers. It's a lot of signing documents, running the meetings, and "you get all the complaints and suggestions from people," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez, originally from Mexico, lived in Los Angeles before moving to South San Francsico 45 years ago. He worked as a butcher in Mexico, Los Angeles and South City. He also was a music store manager and helped his brother to open one of three music stores in San Francisco in the 1990's. Gonzalez retired in 1996.
He has been a public servant in South City for many years. For a detailed biography, see the city website here.

The Battle for Hermès

I second your notion about the saddles being the best item in the world of Hermes. I spent much time visiting the single Hermes saddle on display in Toronto in the Bloor St. store. Probably a bit too luxurious for my current equine mount though...

I read this article last weekend and it was fascinating! The best part was however seeing the private offices -so beautiful. I loved the rooftop garden off the main office with grass and trees!!

- Christina said...
Heather, designer question: Just looking at this last photo of the office painted in dark green. The office in my new house is a similar colour, but it makes the room look like a tomb. What is it about this room and ones similar to it that makes them look good rather than just plain dark? I'm wondering whether the problem in mine is lack of natural lighting and zero architectural interest?

I've thought this was an interesting situation for a while too; I love the traditions of Hermès and LVMH is so huge I can't help but think it'll get 'glitzified' if they end up in charge... The saddles are so beautiful, however if I spent that much money on a gorgeous saddle there would be no way it would be put on a horse :) Too nice to get dirty!

I am a huge fan of Dana Thomas simply for the fact that she had the guts to write what she wrote. Luxury rarely exits any more except for the uber-rich. Gone are the days where you would accompany your mother downtown to purchase a special object that you would cherish for a long time to come. Now, everything seems to be made (or partially made) in China so it loses its cache.

Good for Dana. I have always loved the fact that she actually bit the hand that fed her by exposing the shoddy and ridiculous tactics of the "luxury" goods market. Gone are the days where going downtown to choose a special object that would be cherished forever and passed through the family.

Carrie Goldman, author of "Bullied," visited Saint Stephen's recently and spoke to The Gauntlet staff about the issue of bullying in today's society.
She said bullying has evolved, whether it takes place on the playground or in the virtual world on Facebook.
"It's not that there is more bullying; it's that bullying is more visible," Goldman said.
However, Goldman said she believes the old-fashioned form of bullying is worse that cyber bullying.
"You can't turn off the fact that when you walk into a classroom no one wants you to sit next to them," she said.
Goldman said victims have two ways to respond to bullying: passive or aggressive.
"You either shut down, meaning you just want it to stop, so you stop doing whatever is drawing the attention. The other response is to lash out and fight back," she said.
In her book, Goldman gives advice to parents of the victims. A parent herself, Goldman said the best way to deal with bullying is to refrain from forming judgments about the kids who were the perpetrators.
Goldman also said it is important for parents and
teachers to get involved when dealing with bullying. In fact, Goldman said schools with the least bullying are the schools with active and involved teachers.
"Schools that have respected adults engaged with the kids in cafeteria and hallways have less bullying," she said.
Goldman said other factors, such as a lack of uniforms, can contribute to bullying because students who show their own style, in particular the brand of clothes they wear, open themselves up to criticism from their peers.
In the end, Goldman advised Upper School students to be themselves.
"It's OK to be yourself. You don't have to conform to these expectations with every last person in your life," she said.

Caught between state funding cuts and rowdy student protests, a key committee of the University of California's Board of Regents on Wednesday reluctantly approved a two-step student fee increase that would raise undergraduate education costs more than $2,500, or 32%, by next fall.
If the action is endorsed as expected by the full board today, the annual cost of a UC education, not including campus-based fees, would rise to $10,302 -- about triple the UC costs of a decade ago. Room, board and books often add an additional $16,000.

Personnel from the South East Regional Emergency Services Authority were recently recognized at the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) annual awards banquet.
Dispatcher James Brinich received the Dispatcher of the Year Award for the State of Michigan from the association. Brinich was an original member of SERESA consolidation of the dispatch centers for St. Calir Shores, Roseville and Eastpointe which took place in December 2010. He previously was a dispatcher for St. Clair Shores Police Department. He was described in his award as a "consummate Professional," according to a release.
The entire SERESA team received the TEAM of the Year award for the State of Michigan for assisting the Eastpointe Police Department in locating the victim of an abduction. The victim had dialed 911 ,and without speaking to the dispatchers, the SERESA team was able to locate her and lead police to her, according to a release.
