Heh, when I dug my running clothes out of the suitcase they were nasty. Phewwww! They hadn't aired out after yesterday's 12-miler and man they stunk so bad I didn't dare take the elevator for fear I'd asphyxiate some poor tourist.
I'll have to pack a different set for each running day from now on.
MTA: Heffa and Trey, how do you feel today?
Ditto on the nice races you guys!
I hadn't run for 3 days and on Sunday I ran about 10.5 with some friends in 9:02s which was incredibly fast for me. I am racing next Saturday and should be able to run the 12.4 miles no problem.

Longtime Petoskey High School soccer coach Scott Batchelor accepts a championship trophy during the Northmen's run to the Division II state championship in 2008. It was one of 42 state-championship trophies that Batchelor's teams won during his tenure at Petoskey. (News-Review file photo) |
EDITOR'S NOTE: Last in a series of profiles on members of the Petoskey High School Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2012. Former coaches Scott Batchelor, Ray Arthur and Don Dickmann will be inducted into the hall at halftime of the Petoskey-Alpena boys basketball game at Petoskey High School on Friday, Feb. 24.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
It was the fall of 1986. Paul Rossi was a member of the Petoskey High School soccer team, and the Northmen had lost a tough game, a game they felt they should have won.
A decade after losing that game, Rossi and his father Rick were discussing it. The father relayed to the son the coach's post-game thoughts. The coach was Scott Batchelor, and the program was still in its infancy.
"Batch was walking by my dad after the game and this was all he said, and this is so Batch, he said, 'We got beat because we weren't in good enough shape. That will never happen again to another Petoskey team,'" Paul Rossi says.
Right after that, the Northmen started each practice with a long run. Sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 15, sometimes longer. A mile, two miles, three. Somewhere in between.
A generation later, Katie Johnson was a four-year letter winner on the Northmen girls soccer team, also coached by Batchelor. A three-time All-Stater, Johnson was a crucial component of those 2003-06 teams, the last of which was perhaps the best Petoskey had ever produced.
She recalled on numerous occasions sitting in class and hearing a public address announcement regarding that day's soccer practice.
"They'd say, 'Girls soccer team members, bring your running shoes to practice,'" Johnson says. "We always knew what to expect.
"We'd go on runs in Bay View. He liked to find the biggest hill in town and make us run up it. He was always big on us being the fittest team out there. He always ran with us too, which was pretty impressive, I thought."
So Batch.
Scott Batchelor never played organized soccer in his life, never coached it until he came to Petoskey High School. In a combined 43 seasons over 31 years between the boys and the girls programs, Batchelor's teams won 609 games, lost 240, and tied 83. They captured 31 district championships, seven regionals, and made it to four state championship games, winning two.
Batchelor was a blank slate when it came to soccer when he started out. He learned as went, borrowing from other coaches at clinics, seeking advice, working by trial and error.
He learned a lesson from a hard-to-swallow loss in Rossi's day, and continually put it into practice throughout the rest of his time in charge of the program.
On Friday, Feb. 24, Batchelor will take a spot alongside the very best in school history when he enters the Petoskey High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
To hear Batchelor tell it, the credit goes to his players, their parents, and a outstanding feeder program that provided him polished talent year in and year out.
"That's how remarkably humble he is," says Rossi, 41, who, nearly 25 years after he took off his Northmen soccer jersey for the final time, chokes back tears as he relays stories of his former coach.
He's not the only one.
Hello, Petoskey
Scott Batchelor is nothing if not flexible.
He had a job lined up as a computer programmer in St. Louis in 1977, just after graduating from Central Michigan University. Then a call came from Petoskey High School. Two days later, he arrived at the school for his 1 p.m. interview. By 4 p.m., he had the job.
Less than a week later, he was in a classroom at Petoskey High School, all of 21 years old.
The computer industry, with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs calling the shots, got along fine without Scott Batchelor.
Petoskey High School? Where would it be without the man they affectionately call 'Batch'?
He led the school's soccer club, the precursor to the Northmen varsity team, beginning in the early 1980s, and was the coach when the boys varsity program began in 1983 until stepping away after the 2009 season. He took over the girls team in '94, one year after it became a varsity sport, and left that in '09 as well.
He says, simply, he was at the right place at the right time.
"I hit it right at the time when it was booming, it was just starting to explode," Batchelor says.
In Petoskey, it started first as a recreation for little kids, then blossomed into the Petoskey Youth Soccer Association, which fed the varsity program with a steady stream of talented and experienced players.
"The big thing is, I can't give enough credit to PYSA," Batchelor says. "I wouldn't have done it for that length of time if we didn't have good players, and good teams, and the reason I had good teams was due to the preparation they got before high school. I wouldn't have had good teams unless all those travel team coaches had put in the time, the effort and the travel to make the kids good.
"A lot of my success is the program. The program made me successful. It's not like I made the program."
So Batch.
Bringing out the best
In the beginning, Batchelor was no soccer coach. He enjoyed the sport, saw the myriad benefits of it, but he knew if he was going to be in charge of the program at its highest level in a town that was budding with enthusiasm for the game, he had something to live up to.
"I didn't feel like I was this great expert at soccer," says Batchelor in his typical deflect-the-credit manner. "So when I wanted to try something with the kids, I talked to them about it. If you let the kids come up with it ... if you tell them to do something that they don't buy into, it's not going to work. I would talk to them and see what they thought."
So Batch.
A novel concept and one that might make an old-timer cringe.
But this was soccer, it was relatively new, and Batchelor didn't have the pressure fans sitting behind him, game in and game out, questioning his every move.
He had a learning curve, and some breathing room.
"It's not like basketball or football, where there's pressure from other people," Batchelor says. "Nobody knew what I was supposed to be doing."
Batchelor educated himself by attending clinics and seeking advice from others in the area who knew the game, he brought in experts to administer clinics. In the early days, he learned as much from those sessions as his players did.
But his style was all his from day one. It was, and remained throughout, marked by a calm, analytical demeanor that almost never varied.
"He had such a natural way of motivating you without ever getting in your face," Rossi says. "He'd do very subtle things.
"I think he would see things in people they didn't see in themselves and he'd find a way to bring it out. It's a steady character. Nothing unpredictable about Scott."
So Batch.
Defining win
The wins piled up, year after year, as the program took steps. First came district titles, then, finally, 10 years after the birth of a boys varsity team, a regional championship. The second regional title for the boys came in 1995. Days later, the Northmen won a state semifinal in a shootout, punching their ticket to the championship game.
It was a snowy November afternoon at Lowell High School, and Petoskey fell into a 1-0 deficit to Macomb Lutheran North.
Panic? Batch? If he was worried, he didn't show it. He never showed it.
"One of the things about Batch is he's even-keeled, whether you're winning big or losing, and that trickles down to the players," says Mark McClutchey, 33, who co-captained that '95 team with Matt VanderNaald. "It was just, 'Let's get it done.'"
Just over two minutes after falling behind by a goal, Corey Cook scored the tying goal on a header off a beautiful cross from Trevor Huffman. The Northmen would add two more goals over the next 18 minutes.
Shortly thereafter, they had the state championship.
Cook "didn't even make the varsity as a junior," Batchelor says. "Trevor served him the ball and he had a perfect header. (Cook) wasn't the greatest player, but he had the biggest goal that we'd had (to that point) in our program."
A kid who was cut as a junior was playing, one year later, in the biggest soccer game in school history. And he took a pass from a kid who would go on to become perhaps the best player in program history, and achieved legendary status on the basketball court both in high school and then college.
Think Scott Batchelor didn't know what he was doing? That's team sports: Everyone pulling together, doing their job. Batch saw it.
So Batch.
A talk with Coach
Travis Groat split time in goal during that '95 season with Grant Berakovich. Groat was in net for the state final at Lowell.
Two weeks before, Groat had made back-to-back point-blank saves in sudden-death overtime in the district final against Roscommon. After the second, Huffman dribbled the length of the field and scored the game-winner.
"We were inches from not even winning a district and we went on and won a state championship," Batchelor says.
That's sports. You win some, you lose some. A play here, a play there, can make all the difference.
Batchelor cared — cared deeply — about winning, but he cared more about his players, cared more about developing young men and woman than he did about their skill level on the field.
During Groat's junior year, his parents were going through a divorce. He took it hard. He missed a few games that year because of it, wasn't sure if he wanted to even continue playing soccer, a game he had played his entire life, a game that had meant so much to him.
Batchelor, Groat says, kept him on the right path.
"He said, 'You can do this, you can succeed on the soccer field and in the classroom,'" Groat says. "Him having the confidence in me ... it was basically, 'Don't doubt it, just do it.'
"I took that to heart and because it was Batch and I respected him so much, I didn't want to let him down. That's who Batch was."
Groat, obviously, stuck with it, and ended up winning a state championship.
And this who Travis Groat is today: A successful attorney in Petoskey who has as much — if not more — respect for his old coach now than he did when he was in high school.
"I see him at least once a year, and every conversation I have with him, I respect him, I trust him," Groat says. "You still have the utmost respect for him. Coaches always teach their players, but Batch took it even further.
"There's no question in my mind if it weren't for Batch, I would not be where I am today. If Batch were not in my life, I probably would not be the person I am today, that's for sure."
He clearly isn't the only one.
So Batch.
Wins and losses
In 31 years — 43 seasons — there were highs and lows. There was an overtime loss in the '97 boys state championship game. Another state title in '08, a loss in the '09 state title game.
"Losing a state-championship game is heartbreaking because you've gotten all that way, and you're not the champions," Batchelor says, recalling the '97 game. "They (the Northmen players) wanted a state championship bad, and you get into overtime and you're one play away from being the state champ, and then you're not the state champ.
"It's so hard to get there, and when you get there, it's a great high when you win it, but if you lose it, and it shouldn't be this way, but it's very depressing."
He surely felt it, but the feelings of euphoria or bitter disappointment were more out of empathy for his players.
His players, particularly those in the later years, felt exactly the opposite.
Joe Keedy was a senior captain of the '09 team that lost the state championship game. It was the last Petoskey soccer game — game No. 932 — Batchelor ever coached.
Keedy said he and his teammates wanted to so badly to send their legendary coach out with a state title.
"That was definitely huge," Keedy says. "He'd put in so much time in the program, both the girls and guys — the program was him. You want to send him out on top and give something back.
"That was rough. The end for us, the end for him. Definitely a tough way to go out."
But Batchelor was the same. Win or lose, first game of the year, or last. First game of his career, or last. Just steady, consistent.
That's what resonates with former players. That's what they took from him more than anything else.
"He was so good at dealing with adversity," Rossi says. "It's the rebound from adversity that's going to define you. I always think about what a calm approach he had to everything. The reality is you're going to have problems, you're going to lose the ball, you're going to get beat. There's no such thing as perfect game. But it's how you rebound from it."
So Batch.
Enemies? Keep lookin'
You'd think that in four-plus decades of coaching, 34 years of teaching, Scott Batchelor would have crossed somebody, rubbed somebody the wrong way.
Surely, there's somebody out there who had a bad experience with the man they call Batch. Surely, in this day and age where it's always the coach's fault when things don't go as planned, where it's clearly the teacher's fault that the student can't succeed, somebody has a negative opinion of the man.
Keep lookin'.
"I can't think of anything negative about the guy, never heard a bad thing," says McClutchey, 33, who works now as a federal agent. "To me what sticks out is he's got this humility and this sense of humor. He's a very humble guy. He's a pretty selfless guy. It's not about him, it's all about the team and trying to teach people things, whether it's in the classroom or in playing soccer.
"They don't come any better."
Just a few words of instruction and/or encouragement, that was enough. He might have occassionally raised his voice — a bit — but there was almost never any yelling, and certainly no ranting and raving.
"He never got worked up about a bad touch or a missed pass, that's going to happen," Keedy says. "It was when we weren't playing to the level we should have been. Not so much our play, but our focus level."
That's a coach. Put them out there, get their minds right, and let it happen.
So Batch.
"As a coach, you get them in shape, you get them the skills, and the kids make the decisions on the field, you don't," Batchelor says. "As a soccer coach you can't take a huge amount of credit for the game as it's played. You prepare them, and then you're playing.
"But if you can get them to play for you, or get them to play for each other — because the game is so much about who wants the ball more, or who plays with more intensity, you can win with shear effort. Formations don't win it, how your kids play wins it. My philosophy was if we play good soccer, we're going to win."
Effort? Are you kidding?.
"Batch is the kind of guy your respect enough that you want to succeed and do well for him," McClutchey says. "He's the kind of coach that makes you want to play for him. Everybody has a tremendous amount of respect for him."
They know
He's 54 now. Years of physical activity, running with his players, cycling, staying active, have taken their toll on his body. He needs hip replacement surgery. Sitting for long periods is difficult.
Yet you see him walk through the halls of Petoskey High School, into the gym for a Friday night basketball game, it's the same look, the same quick smile, the easy chuckle, the same eyes — the friendly welcoming eyes that don't judge, but rather simply take it all in.
If he had been the football or basketball coach at the school — or any other school, for that matter — he'd likely be a household name among high school coaches in the state.
But it was soccer, and it was just a baby when he started out, just a recreation for kids that somebody thought would be a good idea to make a varsity sport. More opportunity for more kids.
He embraced it, learned it, loved it, and passed along the lessons of high school athletics to generations of players who gave them everything they had.
He gave them everything he had too.
But you'd never know that by talking to him. You don't have to. Everybody else does.
"Basically, if he told me to go run hills (now), I'd go run hills," says Groat, 33. "That's the kind of guy he is."
So Batch.

Imagine a man. He's been health-conscious his whole life. One day his doctor informs him things have begun to go downhill. His cholesterol–fine mere months before–has gone crazy.
"Why is this happening?" he asks.
"Life," the doctor says. "You're forty-five years old. Your bad genes are starting to flip on and your good genes are shutting down."
The man remembers how his grandfather died as a result of heart surgery and how he's been fighting to avoid that same fate. All his efforts–the countless hours in the gym, the runs in the morning, the small portion sizes at family dinners–begins to feel like they were for naught. What does he do?

I have a very special treat for you, my friends.
A wonderful writer, musician and authority on Orthodox Judaism is going to be joining Wedding Style File to give us a tour of the remarkable, beautiful and incredibly complex world of Orthodox Jewish weddings, from the plate breaking to the glass stomping, and everything in between.
Her name is Andrea Grinberg and she is the author of a fantastic website andreagrinberg.com. She is also a personal friend and one I am so thrilled to introduce to you.
I first met Andrea at the wedding of a mutual friend at the Jerusalem Gate Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel. It was about as strange and exotic as you'd expect a wedding in Jerusalem to be; at least to me, a secular Jewish kid from Toronto with an interfaith upbringing. We did (and still do) Christmas, Chanukah, the whole shebang. One thing we didn't do, however, was Orthodox Jewish weddings.
For starters, we didn't know any Orthodox Jews. My dad had some buddies from high school or camp or whatever who went to Shaarei Shomayim, but that was more or less the full extent of my relationship to Orthodox Judaism until I reached university (after graduating from an all-girls Catholic high school, no less). From there, a lot happened, in a relatively short period of time. I became riveted by the vibrant Jewish scene on campus and wanted as much of it as I could fit on my plate. I attended classes and workshops, joined a Jewish sorority and went on multiple trips to Israel. I also did a lot of soul searching, got into a lot of debates, and met a lot of interesting people, including the friend whose wedding I would eventually attend in Jerusalem.
I suddenly had friends who couldn't get together on Friday nights or Saturdays, who wore long skirts by choice and abstained from any physical contact with the opposite sex. The trail which began at a random Chanukah gelt stand on campus led me to an entirely new form of Judaism that seemed so alien from anything I had ever seen before that it was hard to believe some of these people lived just a few bus stops away from me. I was fascinated. Unfortunately, the more I learned about Orthodox Judaism, the less I wanted to have anything to do with it. Although I recognized it was an incredibly rich, complex and diverse body of Judaism, I was turned off by "kiruvnicks", people determined to enforce their Orthodox Jewish lifestyle on secular Jews like myself. It took a really long time for me to have any interest in Orthodox Judaism again. After essentially writing off the entire thing as "meshuggah" (crazy), I somehow began crossing paths with people who would slowly renew my awe and respect for Orthodox Judaism: people of strong faith who lived with such purpose and conviction, yet never, ever imposed their beliefs on anyone else. Andrea was one of them. Although our encounter was brief, we hit it off after sitting at the same table and kept in touch via Facebook after the wedding. From there, she basically became my spiritual guru. I'm not even kidding.
Her blog, AndreaGrinberg.com, started as a place to share her insights and experiences as a young Orthodox Jewish woman, but quickly evolved to include hair-wrapping tutorials (Orthodox Jewish women cover their hair after marriage), kosher recipes and other goodies. In addition to being a phenomenal writer, Andrea proceeded to explain some dizzying thoughts for anyone — religious or secular — to process (such as the purpose of life, reason for suffering, etc.) What made her writing stand out, however, was the way she melded her faith and pride in her Orthodox Jewish lifestyle with messages of tolerance, kindness and togetherness. Looking back, I really think Andrea's blog was what finally caused me — a begrudged secular who would far rather spend the weekend in Tel Aviv than go anywhere near Jerusalem — make amends with Orthodox Judaism and come to appreciate the richness of its traditions and practices, even if I could never envision myself following them.
When I returned from Israel, I did the unthinkable, at least for me: I went to a Jewish class again. I still wear pants every single day, I don't keep kosher, I don't observe the Sabbath, and I don't know if I ever will. The difference is, I've come to embrace the differences which make Jews such a diverse people, including the more traditional among us, no matter what our disagreements (ideological, theological or otherwise) may be. This post was intended to be a quick introduction to Andrea, whose guest post I am deeply honoured to be sharing with you shortly, but turned into a far bigger story. To this day, I'm not sure if Andrea has any idea how much she has affected me and my "Jewish journey" (which is probably the reason for my prattling on like this!), even though I'm still in the dark as to where it will ultimately take me. One thing is certain, I never thought I would be posting about Orthodox Jewish weddings on Wedding Style File or that I would find meaning in lighting a Sabbath candle, even if I go back to phone or computer immediately after. I've come to realize, however, that intolerance will get us nowhere, and we shouldn't let our differences prevent us from rejoicing in what's beautiful: two soul mates coming together. Whether it's a secular same-sex interracial rooftop wedding in Brooklyn or an Orthodox Jewish wedding extravaganza in Jerusalem — or something in between — weddings should be a cause for everyone to celebrate.
Without any further ado, I am delighted to share Andrea's phenomenal guide to the wild, wacky, wonderful world of Orthodox Jewish weddings. Check back soon!

I'm one of the tcphp "old-timers" and am responsible for many of the long-winded posts on the mailing list. I try to stay active in the group and the Twin Cities technical community at large. I believe there is a huge amount of untapped talent around here that can come together and help build something unique. To that end, everything I do professionally is based on trying to facilitate good developers with a stable infrastructure and free education.
I've been using PHP since 1999, when I set out to build an online resource for animation and short film production. The sad reality is that the resource never came to fruition, but I have learned a TON along the way. I hope that by sharing what I've learned with people, I can save others from my "fate".
I also had a two-year stint as a senior web developer at an online brokerage, working mainly with Java and ColdFusion. I have to admit that this experience is what turned me into the great big open source advocate that I am today!

I founded pajunas interactive as a means to continue working with and helping local developers while earning a living. We work with local vendors and local developers because I firmly believe in the benefits of supporting the Twin Cities technical community. The pajunas network is fully redundant, fully scalable and hosted out of a state-of-the-art datacenter in Downtown Minneapolis. We have architected a stable network based on current best practices, and are the only host in the industry that provides many-to-many user-to-site access with single sign-on.
Long-term objectives include establishing an international, load-balanced network using entirely free software, and offering this massive scalability at rates that any user or organization can afford. This business model perpetuates free speech by lowering barriers without reliance on donations or supporters.
But at the present time, pajunas does need supporters. This is largely a volunteer effort, and we need support and feedback! Most importantly, please consider using and recommending pajunas for even your basic hosting needs. If you believe in our business model, have ever found value in one of the groups we sponsor, or just want to support a local company; you're just the kind of person we want to work with!

I don't have a lot of time for contract work, but can bring a high level of expertise into the right project. I've got a flair for the pragmatic and an extremely good grasp on scalable architectures. I would like to lend my expertise on the early stages of large scale projects, consulting on the feasibility of proposed solutions and recommending open-source and proprietary solutions to interesting problems.

Next up, a short USA tour with God Lives Underwater coinciding with US release of the New EP and Sucked A Lot Of Cock To Get Where I Am on 7" vinyl through SubPop. Tours in Japan & Australia in late 96 with CIV from NYC. Tu Plang released in Thailand, Japan & Europe. Chalked up 2 ARIA Awards in Nov 96... Early 97 back to the USA for SXSW, Austin, Texas and a few extra dates in LA & San Francisco. Tu Plang is released in the USA. Then following up with a tour of Australia with The Fauves & Tomorrow People, before heading back to the USA to do 20 dates with Helmet & The Melvins. Upon return set up the Dirty Room to write/record Unit. First single Everyday Formula released mid 97. Quickly followed up with an attempt to combine theatre with popular music via Handspan & Melbourne Arts Festival performance Raised By Wolves.
Album #2 Unit leaves production line late 97, accompanied by rigorous live presentations of the new product - a large scale Australian tour with Screamfeeder in tow. Black Bugs, single #2 comes out late 97. Jan 98 sees another successful Australian run together with The Prodigy, followed by a string of benefits and media performances in April. The highlight being a 5.00am performance with Midnight Oil in protest at the Jabiluka Uranium mine blockade in the Kakadu. The next single Polyester Girl gets extremely well received going on to sell in excess of 50,000 copies (first Australian gold single). A third tour to Japan where a video for the fourth single! was filmed & the Japanese release of Unit. Followed by the biggest Australian tour yet - The Caveat Emptour with partners in farce TISM & The Fauves. A brief visit to the UK to play the 98 Reading Festival and a couple of sold out London shows coinciding with the UK release of Unit.

Following this the album Unit hit triple platinum in Australia (selling in excess of 240,000 copies). Aside from the Livid Festival in Oct 98, followed up with the BIG DAY OUT Australia/NZ tour in Jan 99 (during which Unit went gold in NZ). Since this time the band have made a rare live appearance while working on the third album. Relocating to a house at Watego's Bay in NSW to track the bulk during March & April 99. We now have the album 'Art'.
A departure by drummer Martin during the onslaught of ...art leaves a big aching hole in the group which is later filled by Peter Kostic.

20 MAR 2012 - Maggs Racing and Speedflow join forces
Maggs Racing and Speedflow join forces.
Speedflow – Manufacturer of the only Australian made performance hoses and fittings are proud to announce an alliance with MAGGS Racing.
Speedflow are very excited about forming this alliance with the countries quickest and fastest Small Block Slammer. "This is a great opportunity to perform even more R&D with a car that is as quick as this. Not only is it the front runner in its class here in the country, but it is a front runner for its kind the world over." Replied Shaun from Speedflow.
The Maggs Family Corvette will now be seen with the Speedflow logo stretched along it's side, promoting their high quality, Australian made products.
"We are very proud to support an Australian product that is a world leader in quality" explained Jason. Robert continued, "We have always strived to support Australian manufacturers wherever possible, whether it is with our cars or with the building products we use on day to day basis throughout our business." "Speedflow Performance Fittings are the perfect fit for our operation, as we are both continuously searching for the next performance advantage over our competition – something that never ends" continues Jason.
After what has been a long break between events, the entire Maggs Racing Team are hungry to get back down to business at the upcoming RARS Round to be held at Sydney Dragway and try to regain sole leadership of the heavily contested points battle in Competition Eliminator.
"We went testing a few weeks ago down here at Victoria where things didn't go quite as planned" explained Jason. "We had a number of little things go wrong on our first pass, which in turn lead to our weekend being ended early." After spending week's fine tuning the team's new Racer Pro cylinder heads, they produced a lot more airflow than had been anticipated. Robert concluded "The new heads performed so well, with what used to be a really safe tune, saw the exhaust temperatures soar too high, and we ended up putting a hole in one of them. Nothing wrong with the heads themselves, it's just that they performed way better than we had even hoped for, which is great news for us". The cylinder heads have been repaired and are now ready for battle this coming weekend.
Even with the problems encountered on the engine side of things, testing wasn't a complete loss. "We made a bunch of changes to the chassis set up which seemed to work quite well. The car reacted exactly how we had hoped. I guess Sydney will be the real test" replied Jason.
Maggs Racing will next be seen at Sydney Dragway March 24 & 25 for the next RARS round. Feel welcome to come by the sportsman pit area and meet Jason, Robert and the rest of the Maggs Racing Team. See www.sydneydragway.com.aufor more details.

PS3 must stay focused on games, says Sony
Blu-ray and movies just extras?
The PS3 and Xbox 360 are worlds apart in terms of pricing, but Sony and Microsoft do have at least one thing in common: a belief that games must always be the core focus for both consoles.
Kaz Hirai, head of Sony Computer Entertainment, told Japanese newspaper Nikkei Business this week that "the main premise of the PS3 is videogames" and something that Sony "cannot lose sight of".
Earlier this year, Microsoft hinted at a similar point of view, when it said that "games are what drive consumers to purchase game consoles".
Sony, for one, has been keen to promote its console as much as a movie-playback device - thanks to its Blu-ray drive - as a games machine.
Both firms have already faced increasingly strong sales opposition from Nintendo's Wii. So it's no surprise that Hirai added that games must remain Sony's primary focus in order to prevent Nintendo running away with sales.
Recent UK figures reveal that between September 2007 and September 2008, Wii sales jumped from a total of 1.1m units to 3.6m units. During the same period, the PS3 installed base rose from 400,000 units to 1.4m units, while Xbox 360 sales went from a total of 1.3m units to 2.3m units.
So both Sony and Microsoft each sold 1m of their latest consoles in that period.
Sony has already announced plans to sell 10m PS3s by the end of its current financial year, which ends 31 March 2009.
Just to clarify further...
"Sony has already announced plans to sell 10m PS3s by the end of its current financial year, which ends 31 March 2009."
But probably wont
No, they probably shouldn't...
When you focus purely on the core ability to play games, the 360 and PS3 are roughly equal. Sure, you can make arguments about "teh power of CELL!!!oenone" vs. "Gears of War isn't a testosterone loaded pile of tedium, honest", but they're both about the same for most things.
But Sony want you to hand over £130 extra (assuming you're looking at the 360 Premium, instead of the basic Arcade model) for their machine. That value almost entirely consists of their non-game abilities like the Blu-ray player.
Now, as a Development focus games are obviously where it's at; Blu-ray is quite capably in the hands of the studios, and yet more messing about with Profiles and standards changes is hurting the format, not helping. But as far as marketing goes, it's that "you can't watch Wall-E at 1080p on a 360" message they need to push.
Just to clarify...
"Sony has already announced plans to sell 10m PS3s by the end of its current financial year, which ends 31 March 2009."
That is 10m units for 2008/2009 fiscal year, making a installed base of 21m units worldwide.. (not 10m install base as implied).
Yep. I know what you mean. My Wii hardly ever gets switched on now, yet both my PS3 and Xbox360 were used last night. I watched 'Jumper' on blu-ray, and then played Half Life 2 on my Xbox.
Steve - cos I'm slowing getting off the Apple bandwagon. I've seen the light and realised it's not rose tinted...

"We need to urgently transform the global energy system:" Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (Video)
On Wednesday, I mentioned a new report from a UN advisory group that called for access to modern energy services for the developing world, combined with an increased focus on energy efficiency. The group released an exhaustive report on the some of the public policy options and private entrepreneurship investments that may help acheive those dual goals. I just noticed that the UN YouTube people posted some clips from the press conference that introduced the report. Enjoy,
Rape as a Weapon of War
Michel Martin of National Public Radio spotlights UN efforts to combat rape as a tactic of warfare. She interviews Margot Wallstrom, the Special Representative for Sexual Violence in Conflict–the first person to hold the position. "If we can ban cluster bombs, we can ban rape as a weapon of conflict." For more information, check out the UN's
Global Health Watch 3 Call for Contributors
The World Health Organizations publishes a report every year on global health. Called, as you might expect, the World Health Report, it provides an "expert assessment of global health, including statistics relating to all countries, with a focus on a specific subject." The World Health Report is a great resource – it tracks global health trends and offers useful background on its theme of the year. But no report can include anything, and a document produced by a major bureaucracy is bound to focus on mainstream ideas.
Evacuating Haiti's IDPs From Flood Plains (Video)
After the earthquake, parks, lawns and vacant lots became tent cities for people who lost their dwellings. Of course, it's not as if people had time to conduct a geographic analysis of where they staked a tarp. And as it turns out, many of these open spaces are prone to flooding. That includes a golf course in Port au Prince, where some 5o,000 people staked tents or tarps. Once the rainy season hits in earnest, parts f the golf course turn into a mud bath.

CD/LP/Track Review
Agrazing Maze: At The End Of The Day (2005)
At The End Of The Day is a very fine effort by a core trio of piano, bass, and drums, augmented by trumpet on some tracks. What is immediately clear is that the trio is very tight and has developed a high degree of communication. Technically, pianist Enrique Haneine and drummer Allison Miller are first-rate, to say the least. I would include Carlo DeRosa also, but he is recorded a bit back in the mix and hence his contributions are not as obvious (but such is a bassist's lot in life, I suppose).
The tracks are all originals, except Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti, and the connections between original and "cover are far from obvious. Stylistically, the group presents many faces, from the driving swing of "5 am Stroll to very free playing in "Gerber Blender.
A lot of the tunes involve constantly changing meters, which, unless you are a drummer, can be easy to miss. The only reason I can say this is that I asked for and got a lot of detail about the tracks from DeRosa. Much of the music has an unsettled quality whereby you can feel a pulse which is not really there, and where phrases are of odd lengths that make sense in an unusual way, a feeling of flux and change that makes for good listening.
This is not to say that this is "intellectual jazz, but there is a lot of complexity going on underneath that is hidden, but still present to add in a specific way to the mood of a particular track. The thinking isn't supposed to show, and only a group that has worked together closely can create this level of Art as artifice that is nonetheless emotionally accessible.
Hearing Agrazing Maze in a club would be an exciting experience, even if the group was doing a tour promoting At The End Of The Day, because there would be a good chance that not much would be played anything close to what is laid down here. The charts have been internalized and the group members have the real freedom to explore themselves within the framework they have erected. Their music, although fitting into today's esthetic, sounds entirely unique, and as such, is an achievement. This is album continues to reward the sensitive listener even after many listens, and it's easily recommended.
Track Listing: We Apologize For The Inconvenience; HB; Pent-Up House; Gerber Blender; At The End Of The Day; 5 AM Stroll; Nefertiti; Forotto; A Phrase.
Personnel: Enrique Haneine: piano; Shane Endsley: trumpet; Carlo DeRosa: bass; Allison Miller: drums and toys.

Marie Gay '09

"We have a responsibility to demonstrate to our students and athletes the importance of getting involved in the community and how the action of one person can lead to change."
Women's Basketball Coach Tony Price understands the value of teamwork and setting a good example. That's why he developed the idea of "Passionate Purple" week, a fundraiser for the Lupus Foundation of America.

"It's been exciting for me to be able to contribute to the 'greening' of Simmons and I look forward to working more with students on various green chemistry projects."
Club Develops Financial Savvy
Seniors Golda Ofori, Nancy Fernandes, and Morgan Guerin love Krispy Kreme doughnuts, but it's not because of their delectable taste. As members of the Margaret Yates Gerwin '62 Investments Club, the young women have purchased stock in the pastry company, and their hard work is paying off with rising stock prices.
The Experience of a Lifetime
For the past 14 years, Professor David Gullete has worked with others in his hometown of Newton, MA on a Sister City Project with San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Davis and his wife Margaret travel to Nicaragua every January to renew old friendships and begin school construction projects financed by the project members in Newton. Connecting Simmons students with public health colleagues in San Juan was a natural. Their mission was to spend two weeks volunteering in public health clinics and immersing themselves in the life of a vibrant, struggling community.

While it may sound like a week-long party in Seattle grooving to the sounds of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is something quite different, offering college students the opportunity to spend their break helping others.
Independence Day
After five gainfully employed years in Boston, Rebecca Bennett '95 traded in her business cards for backpack and spent nine months traveling independently in Asia with Karen Boss '95.
Technology is for Girls
Amy Turcotte '02 says technology isn't just for buttoned-down nerds or the Bill Gateses of the world. Technology is not a scary abyss of abstract formulas and boring software coding. Rather, Turcotte thinks of technology as something flashy, and even fun.
Enlightening Science
The chemistry and physics departments are the proud owners of some new, state-of-the-art equipment that may one day change the way we watch TV or use a computer. The new mass spectrometer and atomic force microscope — funded by the National Science Foundation and the George I. Alden Trust, respectively — will allow students and faculty to study molecules in close detail.
Soaking Up the Art World in NYC
For many art students and job seekers, New York may seem overpowering — simultaneously daunting and alluring. Through Simmons's first New York Institute, 12 students were given the opportunity to explore the city and experience its cultural facets through an exhilarating but focused program.
Student Artwork Gains Attention
As far as Tana Ford '02 was concerned, it was just another assignment for an English class she took last fall. But the pen and ink drawings Ford created to illustrate Philip Pullman's book, The Golden Compass, have evoked quite a buzz from her classmates, her professor, and even the author himself.

Ranking Tiger Woods' best rounds ever
Getty Images
Ranking the best rounds of golf that Tiger Woods has ever played is no easy task -- there are just so many of them to choose from.
However, that didn't deter BleacherReport.com featured columnist Mike Dudurich from taking a crack at it.
Here's how Dudurich opened the piece:
Tiger Woods has put together a lengthy list of spectacular performances in his PGA Tour, which is what might be expected considering how he dominated the game for a dozen years.
Some have been in majors, some in regular Tour events.
The common thread in his best performances has always been his ability to muster his best on the biggest stages in the game.
Here's a list of, what I believe to be, his best rounds ever.
You may agree or disagree, but it's a list of unbelievable rounds.
The fact is, there are a bunch of others that could have made this list too. Woods has had that incredible a career.

So you're saying that free software license incompatibility does not exist, at least as far as the US legal system goes?
License incompatibility
Posted Jul 3, 2008 20:23 UTC (Thu) by bcantrill (guest, #31087) [Link]
In terms of the law, I think that the GPL is in a dimly lit area to begin with -- and the issue of free software license incompatibility extinguishes whatever light remains. So strictly in terms of case law, no, it doesn't exist. Not that this is desirable, of course; I think software desperately needs legal precedent on the linking issue in particular. If (as I personally believe) dynamic linking does not create a derived work, there is no real "incompatibility" issue to speak of, and we can stop wasting our collective time huffing and puffing about it. Unfortunately, it is in nearly everyone's best interests (FSF, companies, lawyers) for this issue to stay murky -- and I expect it to remain so for the foreseeable future...

Headboard & Rivets Aluminum 3-1/2″ x 4-7/8″ x 1/16″ are placed at the head of mainsails and provide support for additional roach area and a purchase point for the halyard. Most sails are built with external boards. There are two boards that sandwich the cloth on each side of the sail and are riveted in place. Seldom is the rope run around the board. Note that this makes possible the insertion of the rope in a tunnel along the mast or boom.
Small boats can make good use of nylon external boards because they are light and inexpensive. Boats over 20 feet should use aluminum boards. These aluminum boards should be fastened in place with soft aluminum rivets. These can be installed with a couple of blows of a hammer. Each headboard set includes proper rivets.
Most racing rules measure only the width of the board, not the boltrope in front of it. In the case of the IMS rule, this is limited to 4 percent of the E dimension or 6 inches whichever is greater. MORC permits the same percentage with a 4-1/2" minimum headboard width. These limits can be exceeded, but there is a rating penalty.

So, my 75-year-old MIL just got her bodyfat tested. At 5'2" and 125 lbs, it's 44%. Her doctor's recommendation is to get her weight between 106-118 lbs; her set-point for many years was about 110 lbs, but she now has osteopenia and almost no muscle mass. I don't think losing pounds is going to help her health.
I'm at a bit of a loss of what to tell her to do (considering the below info).
She lost 45 lbs in 9 months three years ago, after being diagnosed with diabetes and going low-carb, and she's kept it off since - maintained her current weight all this time. She's very good at complying with her diet, her blood sugar is great. She eats until she's full, but doesn't eat much food, and mainly for this reason her diet could surely be more nutrient-dense; but she eats mostly meat and veggies, snacks on nuts and some fruit, doesn't eat low-fat. More 'paleo' than almost anyone else I know.
I can't believe her BF is so high still. She does a lot right. If anyone has an explanation for why this would happen, I'd be curious to know.
She works retail (constant movement) 3-4 days per week and does all her own housework (lives alone in a large 3-bedroom house and cooks every night), so she's pretty active for her age, but I think more structured exercise could help a lot; at least it would build her a little more muscle, even if there was no fat loss. I might try to get her lifting weights/doing bodyweight stuff a couple times per week.
I don't think she'd be down with the 'leptin reset'; she just doesn't eat that much food! I'd be surprised if she got anywhere near 50g protein in an entire day.
If anyone has any other suggestions on how to help her, I'd much appreciate it.

Fifth Annual AILA New England Immigration Law Symposium
Sponsored with the New England Chapter of American Immigration Lawyers Association
Date: Friday, April 11, 2008 Location: Suffolk University Law School, 120 Tremont St., Boston, MA Time: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Follow your case from the Service Center to the National Visa Center to the Consulate and the Border Post to the U.S. First Circuit. This conference offers you solutions to the practical and strategic obstacles all immigration lawyers confront. Featuring national experts, as well as both current and former government officials, you will hear insights on how to navigate both agency matters and case problems. You will learn about the latest issues facing the immigration practitioner today, including the most recent agency policy guidance, worksite enforcement matters, and other changes affecting your practice. Find out about immigrant visa processing from the inside of the Vermont Service Center and the National Visa Center. Discover what steps you can take to move your more difficult cases forward. Receive updates on Service Center and National Visa Center policies and practices which shape the adjudication of cases. You can develop your own expertise for consular processing from national experts. Then discover solutions to problems that arise at the border direct from the Port Director. Find out what to do from key government officials and renowned national AILA experts. The conference concludes with insights from a U.S. District Court Judge, the Honorable Nancy Gertner.
Our experts will share their knowledge and experiences - what has worked and what has failed. Ample time for questions and answers will be provided. While novice practitioners are certainly welcome and indeed encouraged to attend, this program will not focus on the basic "how-to's" of immigration filings.

Included here is a photo of my studios at My Treehouse and The Beauty Shop while I was making this collection, a photo of me in my booth at the fest in the last day, and a photo of the shop currently in shambles as it always is between shows. The shop will be open to the public this Friday (if you purchased artwork, feel free to come pick up that day if you can) but it will be closed on Saturday while I attend Jazz Fest I think. ;)

While we crawled on our bellies and searched along the ground.

Our team was full of characters, jokes and giggles were galore
We laughed until our sides hurt as we continued to explore.

Made us always feel protected even when we took a rest.
An intense educational experience that made science more real than not
And helped us to understand that this research will never be forgot.
The connection among climate, trees, and global warming is now visible & true

4'33 for orchestra, John Cage. wiki
On January 16, 2004, at the Barbican in London, the BBC Symphony Orchestra gave the UK's first orchestral performance of this work. The performance was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, and one of the main challenges was that the station's emergency backup systems are designed to switch on whenever apparent silence (dead air) is detected. They had to be switched off for the sole purpose of this performance.

On May 3, the Utah Wildlife Board gave the answer: 86,500.
The board divided the 86,500 permits as follows:
Hunt Number of permits
Archery 17,300
Rifle 51,900
Muzzleloader 17,300
The 86,500 permits the board approved are 500 fewer than the 87,000 permits available in 2011.
Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says the number of permits dropped slightly because some of the 30 units will be managed for a higher buck-to-doe ratio than biologists have managed them for in the past.
(A buck-to-doe ratio is the number of bucks per 100 does that biologists find after the hunting seasons are over in the fall.)
"The best way to increase the number of bucks per 100 does is to reduce the number of bucks that are taken during the hunting season," Aoude says.
Starting this year, biologists will manage 14 of Utah's 30 general deer hunting units for 15 to 17 bucks per 100 does.
The remaining 16 units will be managed for 18 to 20 bucks per 100 does.
Aoude says the 14 units that will be managed for a lower buck-to-doe ratio are units that provide good access to lots of public land. "Units that are mostly private land, or units that have public land that's difficult to access," he says, "are the units that we'll manage for 18 to 20 bucks per 100 does."
In addition to approving general buck deer hunting permits at their May 3 meeting, members of the board also approved permits for Utah's remaining big game animals.
The following are the number of big game permits available in 2011 and the number the board approved for 2012:
Hunt 2011 2012
Premium limited entry deer 179 183
Management buck deer 105 80
Limited entry deer 986 967
Doe deer 560 290
General any bull elk 14,615 14,620
Spike bull elk 15,000 15,000
Limited entry bull elk 2,989 2,956
Cow elk 12,174 12,967
Buck pronghorn 658 665
Doe pronghorn 467 527
Bull moose 93 76
Cow moose 0 0
Bison 20 60
Desert bighorn sheep 44 41
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep 30 34
Mountain goat 133 165
How and when you can obtain a permit varies according to which big game animal you want to hunt:
• With the exception of Utah's general bull elk hunt, applications for all of the state's hunts that involve male animals were accepted in February.
• Results of the 2012 big game draw will be available by May 31.
• You can apply for a doe deer, cow elk or doe pronghorn permit starting June 1.
• Results of the 2012 antlerless draw will be available by July 11.
• Permits to hunt during the state's general bull elk hunt will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting July 17.
• Hunters have already applied for general buck deer hunting permits. If any general archery or muzzleloader buck deer permits are available after this year's big game draw, the permits will be available—on a first-come, first-served basis—starting July 19.
• Any general buck deer rifle permits that are still available after the draw will go on sale—on a first-come, first-served basis—starting July 31.
• If the general archery season ends—but all the archery permits haven't been sold—the archery permits will be converted to muzzleloader permits.
These muzzleloader permits would be available—on a first-come, first-served basis—starting Sept. 17.
• Any muzzleloader permits that are still available after the muzzleloader hunt ends would be converted to general rifle permits.
These rifle permits would be available—on a first-come, first-served basis—starting Oct. 9.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.
Utah is one of 19 states that are holding a "Wanna' Go Fishing for Millions?" contest this year.
The contest is sponsored by Cabela's.
If you catch a fish that has a tag on it, you'll be eligible for some big prizes.
(You can learn more about the prizes at www.cabelas.com/fishformillions.)
The following are the Utah lakes and reservoirs that have fish with tags, the species of fish that have been tagged and the number of tagged fish:
Northern Utah
Water Species Number of tagged fish
Bear Lake Cutthroat trout 17
East Canyon Rainbow trout 8
Mantua Largemouth bass 8
Willard Bay Walleye, wiper 12
North-central and Central Utah
Water Species Number of tagged fish
Grantsville Rainbow trout 8
Gunnison Bend Channel catfish, white bass 8

The contest runs until July 8.
The fish in Utah that have tags on them were tagged by biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources. "We're happy to help," says Roger Wilson, Aquatic Section chief for the DWR. "We wish the anglers who participate in this contest the best of luck. We hope you're one of the prize winners."
To qualify to win, you must pre-register online.
In one of the 19 states, a fish has been tagged with a tag worth $1 million. The grand prize will be doubled to $2 million if the person who catches the fish had Cabela's Fish Recon app on his or her smartphone before they caught the fish.
Other prizes include two Ranger 520Z Bass Series Comanche boats and trailers with Evinrude outboard motors, valued at $65,000 each, as well as more than $20,000 in gear from Costa sunglasses, Abu Garcia and Rapala.
All rules and requirements, as well as contest details and registration information, are available at www.cabelas.com/fishformillions
