This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Friendly and helpful staff provided great help and assistance during my stay. They are pretty fluent in English too, so communication is not a problem. Well-maintained rooms with adequate toiletries. Definitely worth going back there. First time travellers might more detailed directions to get there.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Really enjoyed our stay here. We found the hostel after arriving in Tokyo, and were hugely impressed by its staff and facilities, considering the low cost to stay there. We arrived and informed them that we found the price cheaper online (Travellers Point!) they were very helpful, and even allowed us to use the free wi-fi in there lobby to book online, saving us some money!
The dorms are clean, as are the toliets/showers. The toilets are even computerised! Each floor has it's own kitchen which is again very clean, tidy and modern.
Although the hostel isn't really located near the main tourist areas, they aren't very difficult to get to.
I would certainly recommend staying here to anyone, and would definitely return again. Hope this helps!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
my 1st time staying in a hostel, felt really pampered with the facilities! cleanliness is top rate. better than many hotels (havent tried japan ones tho). dorm was fairly quiet and it was a short less than 10min walk fr the station. we arrived at 11+ and it was really safe to walk ard (we're 2 20 yr old girls)
would come back for future trips! highly recommended

Myths and Rumors
Here the answers to some frequently asked questions about these policies.
If I get a "D" in a course required for my major, must I repeat the course?
No; however to graduate you must have at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA in the courses required for your major.
I put a course on credit/no credit. Now it looks like I'll get an "A." Can I change it back to a graded course even though the semester is about over?
No; you must make changes in your credit/no credit elections by the end of the eighth week of the semester.
I took four years of Spanish in high school, but placed into Spanish 122. Do I need to take two more Spanish courses to meet the graduation requirement?
No. The language requirement has been met. Four years of one foreign language in high school meets the requirement. The placement score only determines your beginning level if you decide to continue your foreign language study.
Can I find out by phone the results of my petition to drop a course (or change of major, etc)?
Federal law does not permit giving out information about a student's record to anyone but the student.
Even though I made straight As last semester, I didn't make the Dean's List. Why?
You must take at least 14 graded UIUC hours in order to be placed on the Dean's List.

Judge Royce Lamberth's ruling that federally funded human embryonic stem cell research violates the Dickey-Wicker Law has thrown stem cell research in the USA into temporary (though immediate) disarray. According to stem cell researchers, Lamberth's temporary injunction has halted research at dozens of labs. The University of Wisconsin alone has 34 approved stem cell projects -- 21 of which are federally funded and affected by the ruling.
The ruling calls into question not only research done with 75 new stem cell lines approved by the Obama administration since 2009, but even research with previous cell lines considered to be acceptable by the Clinton and Bush administrations could be at risk under this ruling.
The NIH announced that researchers who are currently working on $131 M worth of grants in 2010 can continue their work. However, the NIH has suspended all review of new grant applications. There is currently up to $74 M in new funding requests in 50 grant applications before the NIH - $54 M in renewed funding requests and $20 M in completely new research. All of this is suspended.
Francis Collins, director of the NIH, expressed concern that the suspension of stem cell funding could do great harm to research in the US - "It has the potential to do serious damage just at a time when we were gaining momentum." Tim Kamp says, director of the University of Wisconsin Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center, the ruling "will put us at a huge competitive disadvantage to other countries" including programs in Japan, the UK, Australia and China.
The Justice Department stated on Tuesday that it would appeal the ruling. It has asked the district court to put its ruling on hold while the appeals court considers the case. Beyond that, Democratic Leaders in the Congress are deciding whether to pursue additional legislation to restore stem cell research or to remove Dickey-Wicker from this year's spending bill. Leaders are exploring legal and political ramifications.
Seeking Alpha reports that a basket of stem cell stocks that they follow were down 5.5% in Tuesday's trading following the ruling. Ironically, several of the companies affected do not work with embryonic stem cells and have programs centered on use of adult stem cells from autologous adipose tissue or bone marrow. Cytori Therapeutics, Aastrom Biosciences, StemCell Inc, and International Stem Cell Corp are 4 companies who saw their stock drop more than 5% but DO NOT work with embryonic stem cells. Geron IS a company that works with embryonic stem cells that saw its stock drop. Osiris Therapeutics is a company that works with adult stem cells that actually saw its stock rise.

Animation in Video Games and Movies
Movie Magic: Creating Unreality from Reality
"How'd they do that?" Take a peek at how computer animators make those digital models move in such a realistic fashion.
Animating for Video Games vs. Animating for Movies
Creating animations for video games is much different from creating animations for movies, and can be much more difference; in this article, we'll explore the differences caused by interactivity vs. passivity.
FMVs vs. Playable Models in Video Games
What, you may ask, is an FMV? It's short for "Full Motion Video", and is a term used to refer to the non-interactive, fully-detailed, fully-rendered movie sequences that are often spaced throughout gameplay in many video games, especially those of the roleplaying genre.
Guide Commentary: Animated Effects in Joss Whedon's Serenity
Rather than overwhelm, the talents of Zoic Studios' animation team brought the crew of Firefly from life to larger than life in Serenity's big-screen debut, and provided a positive example of how to use animation as an asset to enhance a film's storyline.
Robots: A Fine Example to Animators....of What Not to Do.
While the animation in Robots is visually stunning and a wonderful example of what attention to detail can do, I think that this film can teach animators a much more important lesson: what not to do when creating an animated film/story.
The Final Days of Final Fantasy
Square's Final Fantasy games have had a long and brilliant run, but things are starting to spiral down towards the end, with a rash of abortive, barely-successful experiments and apathetic sequels and spinoffs. Is it time to throw in the towel?
Filming in the Digital World: Virtual "Cameras"
Ever wondered how those dazzling animated effects got from the computer to the movie screen? Even when working in three-dimensional computer animation, you still need a camera to film your animation.
From 2D to 3D: Using Textures to Create Raised Surfaces
Three-dimensional models can possess amazing levels of detail; not only in sculpted shapes, but also in texture. In truth, what you're looking at isn't clever modeling, but an illusion of texturing.
The Art of Digital Compositing: Blue-Screening
Sometimes we see effects in television and movies that couldn't possibly be real. But if these scenes aren't being shot against real-life backdrops....how are these actors being placed in these fantastic environments, performing these strange and unreal acts?

'Napoleon Dynamite" is a full-on geek show, a dense fog of caged awkwardness and nerdy absurdity. Every waking moment of this movie, every character who walks in and out of this dorked-out universe, is drenched in geekiness.
Just look at the title character -- he is named after a song by geek-rock lord Elvis Costello. With his lanky frame, bugged-out, red mini-'fro and his tendency to breathe through his mouth, he looks and sounds like Beck's little brother. Jon Heder plays Dynamite, putting so much conviction in his spazzy portrayal that you don't know whether to feel awe or pity. Set in present-day Preston, Idaho, a suburb that apparently hasn't moved on culturally since 1985, the movie has Dynamite -- a name everyone in this flick buys -- going through the motions at the local high school, a place that's festering with more geeks than even he realizes. Even the school's resident BMOC is a tool you'd avoid at all costs if he were at your school.
The truth of the matter is, everyone in this movie is a loser. Dynamite's big brother (Aaron Ruell) is a meek fella who spends his time chatting online, claiming he has an Internet sweetheart named LaFawnduh. Their uncle, Rico (Jon Gries), who stays with them after their grandmother cracks her coccyx in an ATV accident, is a macho heel who sells Tupperware so he can -- I kid you not! -- buy a time machine off eBay and go back to 1982, when he was a high-school football star.
Back at school, Dynamite immediately clings himself to new kid Pedro (Efren Ramirez), whose sleepy-eyed demeanor (he looks just as out of it as the persistently stoned-looking Dynamite) and lack of self-awareness about his social status (he does such un-nerdly things as asking the popular girl to the prom and running for student body president) makes him the perfect best friend for Dynamite. Along with the painfully shy Deb (Tina Majorino, the little girl from "Corrina, Corrina" all grown up), whom Dynamite has some sort of unresolved sexual tension with, they form a teenage-outcast triumvirate.
You're certain to have a lot of giggles watching "Dynamite." The cast's dedication to keeping everything outrageously goofy, not to mention Hess' eccentrically vague direction, will ultimately make you succumb to hysterics. (At times, the movie feels like the longest Dead Milkmen video ever made.) But you may find yourself asking, am I laughing at these people -- or laughing with them? Since nobody in this movie actually laughs, the question grows more intense with each embarrassing moment.
Thankfully, Hess (who wrote the script with his wife, Jerusha) has enough respect for these characters not to turn them into grotesque caricatures. You're more beguiled by these mopes than disgusted by them. Dynamite's defiant persistence alone, keeping his head up even when he has plenty of reasons to keep it down, easily earns him a place in the Movie Geek Hall of Fame, right next to Max Fischer ("Rushmore"), Ted the Geek ("Sixteen Candles") and everyone from "Revenge of the Nerds."
While comparisons to "Rushmore" and other Wes Anderson flicks have been made in regards to "Dynamite," the movie is more reminiscent of the work of Mike Judge. It exhibits the same small-town quirkiness and teenage monotony Judge used in old episodes of "Beavis & Butthead." (If anything, "Dynamite" looks more like what would happen if Judge remade fellow Texas pal Richard Linklater's "Slacker.")
If this movie becomes the cult hit it's so destined to be, expect kids -- and many young adults -- to start impersonating its characters, especially the full-of-future-catchphrases Dynamite. America, meet your new Austin Powers: His name is Napoleon Dynamite.

Monsters University Movie TrailerMPAA Rating: G
Genre: Animated/comedy
Runtime: 102 minutes
Starring: Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Dave Foley, Julia Sweeney
Studio: Disney/Pixar
Director: Dan Scanlon
Release Date: June 21, 2013 (2D/3D)
Monsters University - Official Synopsis
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. Monsters University unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.*For more information, read our Monsters University - Review for Parents
Monsters University - Fun for Kids
Monsters University his theaters nearly 12 years after the Monsters, Inc. theatrical debut. Gearing up for the new prequel, the original will enjoy a 3D theatrical re-release, and the movie is available on Blu-ray.
If you have a monster fan in your house, here are a few fun monster-themed activities to get creative juices going. You can even capitalize on the monster theme to come up with a few fun educational activities for kids to do:
- Rock Monster: These little monsters aren't too cuddly, but they sure are cute! You help your kiddos recreate the monsters from the Pixar movies or come up with a little monster all their own.
- Oriental trading has craft kits to make adorable Paper Sack Monster Puppets. But of course, you could easily make these with your own paper bags, some googly eyes and construction paper. Paint the bag green and add a large eye to make Mike. And for Sulley, paint the bag teal with purple polka dots, and add some horns, eyes and teeth. Bonus: make a few puppets and put on a monster play. Kids can help write the lines, make props and put on a show.
- Create some Monster Masks using paper plates or construction paper. Staple elastic or yarn to the sides to keep them on. Any game, from hide-and-seek to tag, is more fun if you play it as monsters. Or, put on the masks and have "monster school."
- Did you know that a fear of monsters is called Tetraphobia? Hopefully, the Monsters, Inc., movie will help your child by showing monsters that are funny and friendly. But, if your little one is still afraid of what might be lurking under the bed or in the closet, here are some ways to deal with night fears.

What started out as a has since been reduced to a $195,000 shortfall as the Hatboro governing body seeks other options to balance its 2012 budget.
And officials, on Monday after introducing an ordinance that would raise taxes $52 per every $100,000 of assessed property, said those options are, essentially, making additional to the roughly $4 million spending plan.
"Right now everything's on the table," Councilman Vincent LaSorsa said afterward, noting that the council is not looking at any one area in particular. To date, cuts have been made to the borough's streep sweeping, night-time lights on York Road and the elimination of the D.A.R.E. program taught in .
Borough Manager Steven Plaugher said the budget subcommittee would meet again prior to Dec. 19, when final budget adoption is planned. By combing through the budget further, he said the planned tax increase may be able to be reduced more.
"We still have the ability to tweak it and we still are," Plaugher said.
In terms of the proposed 2012 budget line items to date, resident John Farnen, a long-time volunteer with Hatboro's , questioned why the Hatboro Main Street program had not been allotted the increase as had been requested and asked who would "replace the service" provided by .
"I'm sure there's somebody in this area who's going to pick up his talent," Farnen said, referring to a that Main Street President Bob Johnston had requested for Barth, a borough contractor, who is budgeted to earn $37,500 in 2012. "It's going to be a very big hole once he's gone."
Councilwoman Nancy Guenst, who had urged the rest of council to approve the increase, said she was "anxious to see what the does with that."
The council also discussed taking out a tax anticipation note - also called a bridge loan - to provide a "cushion" from February until tax revenues are paid in April and the general fund reflects an anticipated $1.8 million. The tax anticipation note, estimated to be about $400,000, would be repaid in less than a year, officials said.
"We're not desolate, or destitute by any means," Council President Marianne Reymer said.
Councilman Bill Tompkins said the loan could help in covering "a potential cash flow problem" for borough monies paid for the $1 million until the state doles out its reimbursements.

This presentation describes the Veterans Affairs' (VA) development of staffing evidence.
1C: Evidence Reviews: Assessing Their Quality and Usefulness (Expert) — Interactive Session
Considering the challenges in finding, critically appraising, and synthesizing information, review articles may provide the most feasible resource for clinicians searching for solutions to health problems. Yet, reviews vary considerably in quality and breadth. This presentation examines the type of evidence reviews, the hallmarks of a quality review, and the challenges in conducting such reviews.

2C: How to Convert Evidence into Practice: The Case of Nurse Staffing and Patient Outcomes (Expert)
This session will focus on the evidence we have on nurse staffing and outcomes for hospitalized patients. After a brief review of the current evidence, we will discuss approaches to putting this evidence into practice, considering the nature of the evidence and the realities of practice situations. This session will appeal mostly to nurse managers and researchers interested in the relationship between nursing and patient outcomes.
|2:45 - 3:45 p.m.
DISTINGUISHED LECTURE (All)
Patient-centered medical homes hold great promise for improving the quality, costs, and experiences of care. The VA health care system has launched its own brand of medical homes—Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACTs)—in the largest implementation of its kind in the nation. This talk will describe the emergence of the PACT model and the role of evidence-based quality improvement and interprofessional practice to accelerating the effect of PACT innovations.

Sorry, but Hillary Likes Crosses
Hats off to Hillary tracker Gregg Birnbaum and his site JustHillary.com for digging around to see if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has just found religion, as displayed by that little cross some have seen around her neck. The story seemed too good to be true, and it was. What Birnbaumwho went into the Hillary-online business after working for the New York Postdid was find pictures dating to 2001 of the New York senator wearing crosses to snuff out this little scandal. Dang those cameras.

If you're the one who will organize a scavenger hunt, the preparation process will be the hardest yet thrilling part for you. Of course, you have to make coolest ways to give clues and keep it a top-secret from the participants. Well, your kids looked like they really had fun! You must be an expert when it comes to this game, eh? :)

Work to replace grids at Catshill flooding hotspot underway
5:00pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in Local
WORK to replace grids at a flooding hotspot in Catshill has started this week.
Contractors began preliminary works at the site in Green Lane with a view to installing new grids there over the next fortnight.
The Bromsgrove District Council project includes three additional grids in the village on Wildmoor Lane and Golden Cross Lane. These will be completed before April.
Once in place, the risk of blockages will be reduced with more water being allowed to pass unimpeded through the culverts, reducing the risk of flooding to a number of homes.
The work is part of an overall project to replace 13 grids across the district, costing £54,000.
The replacing of the five grids in Catshill is costing £18,000.
The remaining grids will be replaced at various locations across the district including the town's bus station, All Saints Church, Little Heath Lane and The Strand. In Rubery they will be put in at New Road, St Chads and Beacon Close.
Conservate councillor for Catshill, Helen Jones, said: "Every time it rains residents are fearful that their homes will flood.
"I am pleased the works were passed by the council and it's great to see them underway as it will mean peace of mind for so many people."

Which streets in Northridge and Chatsworth need sprucing up? The city of Los Angeles wants to fix more than 8,700 miles of roadway after decades of wear and tear, but the repairs could come at a cost of $3 billion in assessments if approved by voters.
L.A. City Councilman Mitch Englander wants to gather feedback from local residents Tuesday at 6 p.m. about the potential ballot measure during an informational meeting of the Los Angeles Public Works Committee at Van Nuys City Hall.
"It is vital that we take action to update our City's infrastructure and actively seek funding options to improve our streets," Englander said. "I am excited to hear the input of the community residents and stakeholders on solving this problem and moving toward a better transportation future."
He proposed the potential ballot measure with fellow L.A. City Councilman Joe Buscaino.
The council would have the approve the measure for it to be placed on a ballot for voters in a future election.
NBC4 reports that if passed, homeowners would average an annual payment of $121 over 29 years to fund the repairs.
Van Nuys City Hall is located at 14410 Sylvan Street, Van Nuys, CA 91401.

East Carter's football team made a trip to Louisa to face off with the Lawrence County Bulldogs, a team that has surprised most people in the state with their 3-1 record.
The Bulldogs used a powerful running attack to defeat the Raiders 66-33.
Head Coach Zack Moore said Lawrence gave his team trouble on defense.
"We didn't execute really well on defense at all and a lot of that has to do with them," Moore said. "I give them a lot of credit. Our effort is always there but sometimes our execution is lacking."
While Lawrence was able to run the ball effectively against East, Moore wanted to see more consistency on the defensive side of the ball.
"We didn't tackle very well," Moore said. "We didn't improve defensively Friday and that's a true to test to see how much you have improved against upper echelon teams. We've got some work to do."
One bright spot for the Raiders was their own ground attack. East Carter rushed for 296 yards, led by Jordan Ratcliff's 116 yards and one score.
"I wasn't happy with what we did offensively but we're putting points on the board," Moore said. "We had a big play on special teams but we gave up a big play in that area too. It's a work on progress."
Lawrence quarterback A.J. Cyrus made more outstanding plays Friday night but Moore was more concerned with the way their other running backs ran all over his defense.
"They didn't hurt us as much with the triple option as much as they did with some other plays. But that's a part of it. It was our failure to fit up against those different run plays that played a big part in our demise."
Moore takes the blame for the loss, saying he did not prepare his kids well enough against the Bulldogs.
"I'm responsible for that W or that L," Moore said. "If our guys don't perform well, I'm not going to pass the blame on to them. I did something along the way where I didn't have us prepared. I think our scheme was sound but we didn't execute well. It comes back on me."
But the silver lining, if any, from last week is the start of district play this week when East Carter hosts Mason County.
"We're still all in," Moore said. "We're not going to hit the panic button. We've got to learn from our mistakes and build on our success. Every week from here on out, we're fighting for our lives. We want to play in the postseason and every week is going to be a fight and we have to win those fights."

For a brief second, Marblehead High School field hockey coach Linda Collins and her players thought they were heading for overtime in their postseason opener in Wilmington.
Wildcat goalie Casey Herra, however, had other ideas.
Herra used the front of her mask to knock wide a desperation shot by Hannah Fobert as time expired in the second half, sealing a 1-0 victory for Wilmington and eliminating the Magicians at Alumni Stadium for a second straight year.
"We all thought it had gone in," said Collins. "That had been a planned play. I had taken some kids out of the game and we talked about it on the sidelines and knew what we were going to do. They pulled it off flawlessly. I thought it was going to go in. It was a valiant effort."
Marblehead played the Wildcats scoreless almost into the half, but Wilmington cracked the scoreboard with less than a minute to play until the intermission on what would turn out to be the only tally of the game.
The Magicians put together a few strong scoring chances, but were turned away each time by Herra and the Wildcat defense.
On the final play of the game, however, Herra said it wasn't skill she necessarily had to thank for saving the game.
"I didn't really know what to think," said Herra. "It kind of bounced off my foot and into my face. I think we got a little lucky. But I think our hard work paid off that whole game."
Despite the loss, Collins was impressed with the season her team put together.
"I thought they had an extremely good season," said the Marblehead mentor. "We hit a bump in the raod in the middle. But we regrouped, refocused and they came out strong the rest of the way."

The Watertown Industrial Center Local Development Corp. has found someone to complete a report that would comply with requirements intended to shed more light on its operations.
The WIC board agreed Wednesday to pay $500 to Peggy S. Sampson, an executive assistant with the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, to submit the information for the report to the state Authorities Budget Office. The report was due to the state agency Sept. 30.
Local development corporations must file the information within 90 days after the fiscal year ends. WIC runs a business incubator in a series of former New York Air Brake buildings at 800 Starbuck Ave.
The threat frustrated board members because the board has been working since last summer almost solely on a reorganization plan as a result of state comptrollers ruling pertaining to its employees no longer being enrolled in the state pension system.
On Wednesday, the board continued to work on its reorganization plan.

After Colorado State hurricane experts decided to stick with their forecast for this season, the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration today did the same.
NOAA predicts eight to 12 hurricanes and four to six becoming major storms.
That would make this the busiest hurricane season since 2005, not good news for those who went through the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005. Folks like those on the Treasure Coast.
The forecasts, which pretty much agree with one another, blame the busy season on warm ocean temperatures and La Nina.
Not good. Let's hope all of them are wrong. Very wrong and nothing much happens at all.

March 27, 2013 —
Dustin Sexton isn't a perfectionist, although that's almost what it takes to be successful in competitive archery.
Sexton, a junior at East Carter High School, placed fourth individually at the state tournament earlier this week and the Raiders were 10th overall.
Not bad for a second-year team.
Sexton scored 296 out of possible 300 to force a shootoff for third place with four other archers. Two others scored 297 and shot it out for the state title.
During Sexton's shootoff, he and another archer shot 49 of 50 and were forced to another shootout, this time to see who can get closer to the bull's-eye.
"I was about 3 millimeters off from him," Sexton said.
That was the difference between third and fourth. Of course, he was only one point off from being in a playoff for the state championship.
That's how demanding competitive archery can be.
"Archery is very competitive in its own way," Sexton said. "It's not a physical sport, more of a skill-wise competition. I love competing and I take it serious."
But when it comes to the one-on-one competing, Sexton said it's a sport that's much more friendly than the typical sports competition.
"Almost all the people I've ever met at meets around the state are always friendly," he said. "You can walk up to somebody and talk to them. You're happy when it's over and congratulate them if they did better. That's how it is."
Sexton doesn't shy away from physical sports. He's also a member of East Carter's district champion soccer team. The Raiders play a physical style of soccer. Sexton is also a member of East Carter's track team, including the 4x800 relay that was fourth in the state last spring. With everybody returning, they hope to contend for the Class AA championship this spring, he said.
"We think we have a chance," Sexton said. "I'm competitive in everything I do and so are my teammates."
That goes for soccer, track and, yes, archery.
"Last year we did well for the first year (competing) in high school," he said. "This year we improved 100-plus points. That's a big jump. We plan on improving more."
Sexton was the 14th Region medal winner for his class and also the top medal shooter overall. He said he'll take aim on the state championship next year.
But even as into sports as he seems to be, Sexton said his main priority is "getting an academic scholarship. I want to study engineering at UK."
Sexton has been used to a bow since he was very young while hunting with his father, Darren. Competitive archery started when he was in the eighth grade at East Carter Middle. He has been honing those skills ever since.
He said East Carter archery coaches Glen Bellew and Marc Dingee have been friends and mentors to him and anybody else on the Raiders team.
"As coaches they're phenomenal and as people they're phenomenal," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're the top shooter or the worst shooter, they'll take the time to make you better. They do it because they love it."
Bellew said Dingee "coaches just as much as I do" and that much of the credit should be shared with Mark Hall, the coach of the middle school team. "They have a good program there and we get the kids already prepared," Bellew said. "He does a great job."
Bellew said the 10th-place finish was a nice surprise. The Raiders shot 3,353 in the state competition, a slightly better score than when they won the region with 3,340.
"Most of the schools down state are a lot bigger than us, like Trigg County and Henderson County," he said. "We were happy with how we finished. We will be better next year; we only lose two seniors."
The appeal for the sport, Bellew said, is that "anybody can do it. A kid who can't do other sports can do this. They really start to like it and if they fall behind in school work, then they can't compete. They work to get the grades up so they can get back with us. It's like any other sport in that regard."
While archery is very much an individual sport, it is also becoming one of the most popular sports around. A record number of 4,093 competed in the tournament earlier this week at the Louisville Convention Center.
Elementary, middle and high school students competed for individual and team awards. It was the 12th NASP state tournament held in Kentucky since the program began in 2001.
Archery is now a Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) sport activity so the top five high school boys and girls and top three teams received KHSAA state championship awards.
"This is the first year we've sanctioned archery as a sport activity," said Mike Barren, KHSAA assistant commissioner. "We didn't want these kids to miss out on a part of the school community."
After practice rounds, each competitor shot 15 arrows from 10 meters and 15 arrows from 15 meters, for a total possible score of 300 points. Competitors shot additional rounds to break any ties.
The top finishers in the team and individual standings qualify for the 2013 NASP Nationals, to be held in Louisville May 10-11.
Sexton is very much a team player. One his best friends, Ryan Walker, shot a 294 at the state competition. His relay buddies are brothers Alex and Ben Napier and Kerrick Burchett. He wanted to make sure everybody got credit.
Archery, he said, is something anybody can do.
"You don't have to be a skilled runner or super strong," he said. "You just have to be willing to practice and get better. It's starting to gain popularity and I think every school should do it."
Sexton's family is a large support system for him — father Darren, mother Cindy Sexton and grandparents Charles and Saba McGuire and Floyd and Mary Sexton, all from Grayson.

HoopsHype Joel Anthony rumors
Boston Celtics forward/center Joel Anthony will exercise his player option for the 2014-15 season and return to the C's, a league source informed CSNNW.com. CSNNW.com
Celtics center Joel Anthony has a $3.8 million player option this summer that he is expected to exercise, but he told the Globe he was unsure of his decision. "When the season's over, I'll talk with my agent and look to see what we're going to do," he said. Anthony has played little with the Celtics, primarily because he is new to the system and the club wanted to play Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk in the frontcourt. But Anthony could be a more useful asset next season when the Celtics move forward from rebuilding mode. He is the team's lone legitimate center. "The team, obviously we haven't had the success that we wanted on the court but off the court it's been a great situation," Anthony said. "You don't always have that when teams are in this type of situation. That's made it a lot easier being in a good locker room with a good group of guys." Boston Globe
"On top of getting the assets, we like Joel Anthony's defense, and we like getting the draft picks and all that. But there are so many more things that go on top of it — getting opportunities for development. When we started the season, we just had logjams everywhere." Boston Herald
With Oden looking like he can be a contributor, the Heat sent veteran center Joel Anthony to Boston last week as part of a three-team deal that brought guard Toney Douglas to Miami. But people around the league think the Heat are still looking to make another deal, for a wing, before the trade deadline. NBA.com
When the Celtics traded Brooks and Crawford in a three-team deal, they received two draft picks — one a conditional first-rounder, the other a second-rounder — and center Joel Anthony from Miami. Ainge described the deal as a "building block." "They are not the deals that are going to turn the franchise around," Ainge said. "I think this is just one of those. It opens up opportunities for other guys to play and it gives us some assets to draft players, such as Big Baby [Glen Davis] or Leon Powe that we've gotten with second-round picks in the past, or second-round picks that we've traded to unload contracts, as we've done recently or move up in the draft. Draft picks are very important assets and they are always tradeable, no matter how well they play." Boston Globe
Joseph Goodman: Dwyane Wade called the Joel Anthony trade "unfortunate." Twitter @JoeGoodmanJr
The Boston Celtics announced today that they have completed a three-team deal with Golden State and Miami. The Celtics have acquired center Joel Anthony, a conditional future Philadelphia first round draft pick, Miami's 2016 second round draft pick and cash considerations; Miami acquires guard Toney Douglas and Golden State acquires guard Jordan Crawford and guard/forward MarShon Brooks. NBA.com
Zach Lowe: Boston will also be receiving cash in the this deal, sources say. Twitter @ZachLowe_NBA
Q: Why didn't Miami just take Crawford and Brooks? Was this mainly a salary move for the Heat? Still a great deal for them just by getting Anthony off the books this year and next. Could this possibly lead to a Bynum signing? Chad Ford: So many things that can happen this summer if LeBron James opts out of his contract. Heat knew Anthony would be picking up his $3.8 million option next year and wanted that contract off the books to help with their flexibility. They know that LeBron will leave if he finds a better situation elsewhere. They want to make sure they have the cap flexibility to bring in the players they need to next year. And as far as this year goes, this move is probably a forerunner to them signing Andrew Bynum. ESPN.com
Ira Winderman: With Joel Anthony out, have to wonder if this means Oden is closer (he's traveling) or if Bynum next domino. Either way, Heat save on tax. Twitter @IraHeatBeat
The trade will save the Heat about $7.7 million in salary and luxury taxes this season and frees them on the $3.8 million they owed Anthony for next season. Depending on the Heat's salary-situation for next season, this is a deal that could end up saving them more than $15 million in salary and luxury taxes for a player who played just 37 minutes this season. ESPN.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Miami's second rounder to Boston is a 2016 pick, league source tells Yahoo. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
The Warriors will send guard Toney Douglas to the Miami Heat, and Miami sends center Joel Anthony and a future first-round pick and second-round pick to the Celtics, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sports
Brian Windhorst: Can confirm Heat have traded Joel Anthony and 2 future draft picks for Toney Douglas in three-team trade. Move likely saves Heat 10M+ Twitter @WindhorstESPN
The Heat (14-5) have a glut of big men and have been looking into trading one for a guard, or to clear a roster spot so they can sign a player later. Center-forward Joel Anthony, who has played in just five games this season, is one of the players who may be available. ESPN.com
Q: With the Grizzlies waiving Fab Melo, should the Heat consider giving him a chance to earn a roster spot? I read reports last year that he would have been Miami's pick in the draft had he not been selected by the Celtics. -- Rudy, Miami. A: If most-recent impressions factor in, then I would consider it a longshot, based on how the former Sagemont standout looked in front of the Heat staff at the Orlando summer league while playing for the Celtics. The Syracuse product remains a raw presence likely destined for more time in the D-League. If the Heat are able to offload Joel Anthony's contract, then it might be possible Melo could be brought in to compete with Jarvis Varnado, but such a spot might not even exist with Greg Oden essentially a developmental project, as well.

November 6th, 2012
The Wall Street Journal labeled it a "Halloween horror story." The Internet called it something else: a "pumpkin panic."
During the first week of October, the Journal reported that Starbucks stores around the country were running out of the syrup used to make its Pumpkin Spice Latte — one of several fall drinks the chain releases seasonally, for a limited time.
Customers, like those who frequent StarbucksGossip.com, were shocked.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" wrote one user.
The answer is simple.
November 6th, 2012
On a normal Tuesday, Summer Pendle takes orders of duck fat fries, bluefish rillettes and roasted chicken from guests at the dining room tables made from salvaged bowling alley lanes at Northern Spy Food Co. in New York City's East Village.
On Tuesday, October 30, Pendle found herself nowhere near normal: stranded in California due to airport closures and out of work for the unforeseen future.
"It is hard being stranded in California and watching your city crumble," she said.
That day after Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast, an estimated 7.9 million businesses and households up and down the East Coast – including Northern Spy Food Co. – were left without power. As of November 6, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said approximately 400,000 New Yorkers were similarly still without power.
As electricity returned this weekend and local businesses began to regain their footing, Sandy's impact had a serious ripple effect - especially for hourly wage earners in the restaurant industry, like Pendle, who lost up to an entire week of pay.

While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
This is nacho average Tuesday - November 6 is, more importantly, Election Day, but it's also National Nachos Day!
Nachos originated in the Mexican border town of Piedras Negras. In the 1940s, legend has it that military wives from the nearby Fort Duncan went to a small hotel restaurant for a bite to eat. Even though the place had closed for the day, maitre d' Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya took pity on the women's hunger pangs and made them a snack. Not being a cook, all he could come up with was tortilla chips topped with cheese and jalapeño slices.
November 6th, 2012
Incredible architecture and art are splendid and interesting enough but when I go to Italy, I want to eat.
Which is why, after a dozen trips to the country, I decided to settle into the city of Bologna for a few weeks and consume as much as I possibly could.
Now, every Italian will tell you that their region makes the best food. But for many, the best Italian food comes from the region of Emilia-Romagna, of which Bologna is the capital. Meat ragu, tortellini, lasagna, parmigiano cheese, mortadella, coppa and balsamic vinegar - all have roots here and the resulting regional dishes are truly sublime.

When people say "Anything could happen on any given sunday", It never really seems to apply to us. For 3 years now I, and i'm sure all of us, have been getting our hearts broken watching our Chiefs lose game after game and season after season. I always thought that until we got a new coach or GM, then nothing would change because it always seemed like we were just putting players in, no matter who they were, just so we would have a full roster. But now that we are heading in the right direction the football gods are noticing. Lol. Here are some stats on Sundays game.
Heath Miller- 7 Rec, 95 Yrds, 1 TD
Santonio Holmes- 7 Rec, 86 Yrds
Now those are the top recievers for Pits and by the numbers, they had pretty a good game. Now, here are ours..
Chris Chambers- 4 Rec, 119 yards
Lance Long- 2 Rec, 37 yards
Leonard Pope-2 Rec, 26 yards, 1 TD.
Those, IMO, are some Shi**y numbers. Except for Chambers of course :)
Now on to the RBs...
Rashard Mendenhall- 21 touches, 80 yards (Who had 165 yards at SD ;-)
Willie Parker- 6 touches, 24 yards.
And for KCs RB..
Larry Johnson...Jamaal Charles- 17 touches, 58 yards.
Now I think we did decent against the #1 rushing D in the NFL.
By the stats we got our butts kicked, but if you saw the game, you saw something else. HOPE.
Our Defense stepped up and made some big plays. 2 of those big plays were because of the first year Andy Studabaker. Because of those we got to score points, whether it be a FG or a TD we still scored. We forced Big Ben to make mistakes and our ST play was incredible.
Now if we do this against the #1 Defense in yards and rushing then why cant we do this against the Chargers that rank 14th in total D and 21st in Rushing D? Just because a QB has a huge day like Big Ben did doesnt mean that they will win. Im sure Rivers will have a good day when he plays us, usually every QB does. But just because 3 WR on your team either got over or near the 100 yard mark doesnt mean that that team will win. KC has heart, and IMHO, the Chargers don't. This sunday will be no 30 point victory for either side, it will be a grudge match and i think the Chiefs could come out on top and have another huge upset.
This will be my last game i see this year and, ironically, it's against the team whos city i live in. One christmas present i would want in Bootcamp is a Chiefs win on Sunday. The best of luck to my Chiefs and kick ass!
ps- Sorry if this is kind of long and pointless, just bored and i have never done a fanpost like this before :)

BIG NEWS HERE... RIM has OFFICIALLY announced the name of their upcoming application storefront and they've gone with... BlackBerry App World!
The site for developers will be updated tonight and should be live again by 10pm (Eastern Time). In other words...the following link below won't work until tonight! At the same time, they will launch a sign up page for users who want to be alerted when BlackBerry App World goes live. They should go register at www.blackberry.com/appworld.
As for the rollout of BlackBerry App World, back at the Developer's Conference RIM promised we'd see something by the end of March, which will come up quick. I won't be too surprised if we see it get pushed back a bit, but at least this is a sign that it's coming sooner than later. So how do you like the name?! I wonder what other surprises RIM has in store for us on the app world front... I bet we'll find out more tonight when the new site goes live! ;-)

The name is ok at best. However if the store lives up to the potential it has it wont matter what they call it.
paulanthonyc Mar 4, 2009 at 2:24 pm
It's better than Blackberry App "Store", but maybe RIM Apps, or just BlackBerry World woulda been nicer. Either way, I can't wait...especially since I'm PRAYING that VZW finally releases a new Storm OS around the same time.
ShogunOfDenver Mar 4, 2009 at 2:43 pm
cant believe that the creative minds at RIM could only come up with BlackBerry App World.... too many nouns
bobaloo Mar 4, 2009 at 2:57 pm
It's actually one noun, one adjective, and one adverb.
A little bit of everything for everyone. I like it.
stormaddict13 Mar 4, 2009 at 6:08 pm
stormaddict13 Mar 4, 2009 at 6:06 pm
No it's actually two adjectives and one noun, but nice try.
zackz115 Mar 4, 2009 at 7:44 pm
It is to nouns acting as adjectives+ world. They are nouns that describe world.

Blackberry App World
Well, if we all really care, which I doubt anyone really does:
"World" is the noun. "App" modifies "world." For "blackberry" to be an adjective, it would also have to modify "world." However, in this case, "blackberry" modifies "app."
examples of what I'm talking about
1) the big, green car. two adjectives, one noun
2) the dark green car. One noun, one adjective, one adverb.
Adverbs modify adjectives. Sure, all three words in "blackberry app world" can be nouns, and I can see how people would think that "blackberry" and "app" are both adjectives, but they are not. Just like the word "dark" in the second example is not an adjective in that case. The car is not dark. "dark" modifies the meaning of the word "green," making "dark" and adverb.
I suppose the argument then would be that "blackberry" can be describing the word "world." I don't think that's the case. The world/store is specifically for apps, not for blackberries. and more specifically they are for blackberry apps.
Yesterdays Shoveler Mar 4, 2009 at 2:54 pm
They should have named it Ted's App Emporium.
(ling long)
Ted himself Mar 4, 2009 at 4:12 pm
You are incorrect Gregory, it was called Ted's Blackberry and App Emporium. We only sold one app, it was the Robert Reed Cup O Broth app. It was a good seller then abruptly died off.

Ki77erB Mar 4, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Dont get me wrong, I love everything Blackberry, but they could have spent a few more minutes and came up with something better than that. Sounds like a cheap cell phone booth at the mall. COME ON RIM!
vlkers7171 Mar 4, 2009 at 3:21 pm
its not a great name...but like the post says, its atleast a sign that its coming. So as long as it works, it could be called anything.
winnersmw Mar 4, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Im not worried if it will get bumped back a month or so, we should all learn the lesson the bb Storm taught us. RIM was pushed by Verizon and its customers cuz the Storm was'nt done in time. The result was it came out faster, but it has a lot of bugs and general issues. Yea yea, all phones have bugs at first, but if they would have waited an extra month or two they might have been able to work out the kinks, and it would have come out with a bang and killed the iPhone. But we pushed `em and they sent it out too early. Same with this app store. I really hope that RIM takes ALL the time they need to really get this thing going. We should'nt push RIM at all, they need their time to get it worked out completely, so that when it comes out its as good, if not better than the iPhone app store.

This is all pointless until we can save apps to the SD card. RIM are you listening. You have a built in cap in how much people can spend. Don't screw up like Nintendo.
Here's to hoping that isnt just a software stack limitation that theyll never fix.
wasanarpon Mar 4, 2009 at 4:44 pm
OMG, It truly is pointless if we can't get these apps on the SD card. Totally agree with you. Having to delete apps to add new apps is very frustrating.
palmberry Mar 4, 2009 at 4:23 pm
anon is right. I have to delete apps so I can add new ones already. This is BS. Way to have more onboard storage RIM

simek20 Mar 4, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Would someone like to point out the reason for all this HYPE? I have many apps on my storm just by downloading them from ota links or whatever....what is the huge deal about having them all put into one place when it is reasonably easy to get them from the internet?
chuckh0308 Mar 4, 2009 at 6:38 pm
The name is cheesy, but I'm glad it's coming. I agree with others that RIM needs to change the OS so we aren't limited so much on the memory. I only have one app now that I know is coming and I really want, but if I see others I want I'll be out of luck on space.
inspector_yoo Mar 4, 2009 at 7:06 pm
This is not big news. Maybe for developers. All they did was announce a name, but it's not like it's super creative either. Not really a big deal. Maybe the future announcement tonight will be bigger but for now this is barely news, so definitely not big news.
Hopefully, they will be talking about the new official OS. But if all they do is announce the name of what version it's going to be and not give any other information like they did today that will be disappointing as well. Even so, that is much bigger news then the announcement of "Blackberry App World."

Sutter was speaking about the Kings and Anaheim, and specifically, the Ducks' incomparable Teemu Selanne. The pause was a creative way of throwing puck proceedings forward to the playoffs, going beyond the finale of this regular-season series between the Kings and Ducks.

A Superior Court judge has handed down a sentence for a former school official accused of committing fraudulent loan practices while employed by the Woodside Elementary School District, and embezzling more than $100,000 while employed by the Portola Valley School District.
Timothy Hanretty, 55, of Woodside, was sentenced to two years in prison by the San Mateo County Superior Court on Monday for financial misconduct, according to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Hanretty was charged with falsifying loan documents while employed as a chief business official for the Woodside school district. Though the school district board had only agreed to apply for a loan of $632,000 for improvements to school facilities, Hanretty applied for a $2.6-million loan and used the extra $2 million for other school improvement projects.
The school was so pleased with the work that was done on the school, that the board awarded Hanretty a $5,000 bonus when all was said and done - not knowing at the time that the school was deeply in debt, thanks to Hanretty's misconduct.
It was not until some time later that his deeds were discovered, when a financial audit revealed the school district was millions more in debt than it should have been - to the tune of Hanretty's extra $2 million in loans, plus $1.5 million in interest payments due on the loan.
By that time, Hanretty had left the Woodside district to accept a job as the superintendent of the Portola Valley School District.
While employed there, Hanretty was found guilty of embezzling more than $100,000 for improvements to his Woodside home.
Though Hanretty originally pleaded not guilty to the charges, he later changed his mind and accepted a plea deal.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that "Hanretty told the court that he was sorry for what he did and that he was aware he had betrayed the public's trust," according to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Though Hanretty has reportedly already paid $120,000 in restitution to the Portola Valley district, he is contesting the $3.6 million the Woodside Elementary School District is suing him for in restitution, which includes the fraudulently-obtained $2-million loan, the $1.5 million in interest the district has been charged on the loan, plus attorney fees and money paid to a forensic accountant to uncover all of Hanretty's financial misconduct.
Hanretty has reportedly said he doesn't feel he should have to pay $3.6 million, since the school district benefitted from the work the loan paid for.
Wagstaffe said a restitution hearing will be held at a later date.
Ironically, Hanretty told The San Francisco Chronicle he plans to find work doing home repair and construction after his incarceration is over.

Adding line number by applying an external filter
There are occasions I want to add line numbers to my files inside vim (certainly you can turn on numbers by vim with set number, but that does not write to the file), below is a filter script to do the trick.
%cat add_number.pl #! /usr/bin/perl my $i = 1; while (<>) { printf "%3d: %s", $i++, $_; }
Enable in vim
set equalprg=add_number.pl
Select the block of code or the entire piece of Code (gg=G) then press = to apply the filter. You can come up with any filter per your desire to do all kinds of crazy things. Handy!
