George Yeo, until recently Singapore's foreign minister, is a man given to thinking in profound historic terms. In a recent conversation, we asked him about the relevance of Venice's maritime republic to today's Singapore. To our surprise, he pulled out a speech from 1988, when he was Director of Joint Planning and Operation for the Singapore Armed Forces, in which he addressed that very topic. What follows is a condensed version of that speech.
Will we continue to succeed? We will fail if we are a house divided, if our leadership is weak, if we do not have a clear sense of what our essential interests are, and if we do not have the resolve to be the master of our own destiny?
Is there any example in history, then, of a small nation-state surviving any reasonable length of time? An example for us to take comfort in? A model to follow? There is such an example — and a brilliant one. It, too, had the lion as a symbol, the winged lion of the evangelist St. Mark. Venice — or the Most Serene Republic, as she called herself — lasted over a thousand years.
For much of this period, Venice flourished as the mistress of the Mediterranean. Her merchants were well-known throughout Europe and Asia for their business acumen, their industry and their sense of honor.
The exploits of Marco Polo are still familiar to us. In "Othello" and "The Merchant of Venice," Shakespeare provides a picture of the heights Venice reached in the development of law, government, art and culture. Until Napoleon arrived in 1797, Venice was never successfully invaded. She was never occupied, never ravaged.
How did a collection of small islands — much smaller than present-day Singapore — in a shallow lagoon, with a population never exceeding a few hundred thousand, come to leave such a mark on history? Why did sane men from the European mainland decide in the first place to cross the water to settle on these swampy, inhospitable and unpromising islands?
Like our forefathers from China and India, the first Venetians left the mainland because conditions there were intolerable. Those were dark days in Europe, when the Western Roman Empire was disintegrating, when successive waves of barbarians swept across the mainland, raping and pillaging, wreaking death and destruction wherever they went. Better the safety of these islands separated from the mainland by at least two to three miles of water than face the wrath of Alaric the Goth or Attila the Hun.
The defense of Venice was founded on naval power. She had a mighty complex of naval dockyards and workshops which gave the Arabic word "arsenal" to the English language. At its peak, that arsenal had a workforce of over 16,000 with the capacity to launch fully equipped warships at the rate of one every few hours.
That military power was used, first, in the defense of the republic and, second, in opening up sea lanes, trading routes and markets for her merchants. Venetian participation in the Crusades were never borne of romance, but always motivated by economic advantage.
Hers was a wise foreign policy. Its goal was never to be involved unnecessarily in the politics and strife of her neighbors on the mainland. Genoa, a keen competitor to Venice, lacked that wisdom. Genoa entangled herself in the wars of northern Italy and lost her independence as a result.
Venice instead turned her insularity to advantage. Always sensitive to the requirements of trade, which was her lifeblood, the city-state established a system of administration founded on constitutional principles, the rule of law and the collective interests of her merchants.
Slowly but steadily, with each invasion successfully repelled, with each crisis successfully overcome, she developed in her people that famous Venetian spirit that bonded Venetians everywhere together. A tradition of public service supplied the men of ability she needed for effective governance.
But Venice never felt invulnerable. She never took her success for granted. It was this sense of insecurity that spurred her on, that kept her guard up, her citizens united and her institutions vital.
The achievement of Venice is an inspiration to us in Singapore — how a tiny republic can overcome the limitations of its size and build up an economic empire based not on territorial aggrandizement, but on defense, diplomacy and free trade.
Though our country may be small, our minds must never be. Like the merchants of Venice, we have to be both nationalistic and cosmopolitan at the same time. Our spirit, too, must be that of the lion.

Dreadlocks ? yes or no
you can always do faux dreds. when your hair is wet put some gell in it and take sections and twist in one direction, then fold in half taking the end and bring to the root and it will twist around itself. it should stay in place or you can use a bobby pin to hold it. let it air dry then unfold the the locks and you will have faux dreds for 2 or 3 days.
im thinking of having dreadlocks for a part of the summer my har just touches my shoulders what do you guys think ?
i don't know, i wouldn't because i heard there such a handful! & like you can't wash your hair, & then when it starts growing in at the top. their just really hard to work with. but i do think they look good!
I personally don't like dreadlocks, and even if I did, I agree with jaylen ^ they're a total hassle, you can't wash your hair, and you have to make sure they don't start to stink...god forbid. Idk, that's just my opinion.
I absolutely love dreadlocks but honestly, you cant have them for only part of the summer. If youre thinking of doing dreadlocks you have to be very committed to it because its not like you can just brush them back to your normal hair. If you decide youre done with them, you have to completely cut them out which will leave you with almost no hair. So if youre ready to committ, then do it for sure because i think theyre gorgeous
Your hair is too short right now. My friend got dreads when her hair was about your length and they were just a hot mess haha they were so short that they stuck out and she couldn't control them. It was not a fun time. But hey you might like that look, I don't know! Just a warning though :)
If you're not definitely 100% sure that you want them, then I'd say no. As mentioned before dreadlocks are REALLY hard to look after and if you do decide you don't want them, you have to cut off your hair! They do look good though, but yeah I'd say no unless you're absolutely positive that they're what you want
I'm not a huge fan of dreadlocks because they are hard to take care of like everyone said. If you want it for a part of the summer only, then I would suggest you to get dreadlocks extensions which most of the people are doing, but it'll be troublesome putting them on and taking them out all the time. Well at least it's better than doing something that you're not 100% positive about then regret after doing it! :)
thank you all very much for the help but im not going to do it , i want to grow my hair and if getting them out means cutting it i dont want to do that aha thank you :)
I also wanted to add that there is such a thing as dread lock extensions you can put in. Which do not require you to cut off your dreads in the end. Do some research into "dread extensions" on google. They are super fun, and can even be made at home with practice! I've made them for friends before :)
ive done dreadlocks on many people. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CUT THEM OUT! but it takes about a year of serious maintenance until they mature and actually look nice. and the 'twist and rip' method allows you to keep your length.
You can wash your locs. its hair and you treat it as such if you dont wash your hair it will smell. So you can wash them.
Locs aren't something you can just have for the summer...first off it will take a little less or a little more than that amount of time for them to actually begin to knit (depending on your hair type). You can take them out without having to cut all of your hair. I actually know a lady who has had her for over 10 years and picked them out (they were down here back), but there will be a significant amount of loss (which you may not experience because of the short time you want them). But dreadlocs are a great style Ive had mine for a year and a few months, and while it has been a ride, dreadlocs do not take alot of maintenance as persons have said. I use 'WEN' products to wash it, condition in will alove vera plant ( you shouldn't do this if you're just starting), oil it and I'm done, I get them tightened once a month or every six weeks if I'm lazy and that it. People say that you're not suppose to wash them when you've just started but if you get them started with the needle like i did you can wash them with a week and a half or two and you'll be fine

Walking with you......... WAITING!!
*Prayer asks for this week... please pray for little Tripps family who are making the hardest decisions of their lives right now. Little Tripp returned to heaven and is out of his pain now. I hope you all have a blessed week. I'm excited to read more on each of your stories. Don't forget the blog link is http://blog.sufficientgraceministries.org/

I googled a lot myself during our pregnancy with Thomas. With the twins, I didn't know about Google yet! ;)
Those days of waiting were truly a day by day clinging walk for us....and it's surreal to look back on that time...

Oh, I pleaded with the Lord. I made so many bargains with Him if he would just make this nightmare go away. I knew better than to try and bargain with the Lord but I was desperate. It's amazing what we'd do for our children. Praying for your family and Tripps.

Sometimes I can't even imagine knowing before. All though sometimes I wish I did, because it totally hit us like a TON of bricks. Thinking everything is fine and 2 months later burying your baby was something I didn't even fathom. You guys are awesome. Love hearing the story in more detail.

I didn't have much time in the "waiting" area. I didn't know how soon that my son would be present with the Lord. That is something I really struggle with. I can only imagine you pleading with the Lord for healing. I am so so sorry. The loss is so hard to read about....
I'm glad that you have continued in this walk with us... - January 20, 2012 at 4:57 PM

I did a lot of research during my waiting, wanting to know as much as I could. I think we want to do as much as we can for our babies, even when there is not much we can do.

Sort By:
Pigmented, Opaque, Perfect Brush
Very few coats (1 or 2) gave the most opaque color! Colors turn out exactly as the bottle shows. For the price, order 5 at a time! My favorite is Misty Haze (a grey).
better than other expensive nail polishes
the pigmentation is lovely and most of the nail polishes are very opaque.
Liquid metal has the most incredible color pay off ever its incredible that they can make it shine so much and you only need one coat
Love the color
I've been wanting a mint nail polish for a while now, and for this price you really can't beat it.
But as with any polish, at least in my case, it doesn't last more than a day.
Goes on very easily, dries pretty quickly, but chips after about a day of wear.
So far I've only used COPPER and SMOKY BROWN and this has to be the best make of nail varnish I've ever tried! It's not too gloopy, doesn't run and gives nice thick even coats (just not too thick in a bad way).
It took ages for them to chip too which is excellent!
Only downside to it is that they are very hard to remove from your nails! I've tried multiple makes of nail varnish remover and none have proven successful in removing the varnish properly.
Polish it up
Some ppl like these, some dont. I have several of the colors and i havent had any issue. The first coat with some colors is streaky but once you apply 2nd coat its fine. The polish last a good week, of course i type and wash dishes & what not. I would def buy again.
good deal
For the price they work great! They have an awesome color selection as well when they're in stock that is! I have 3 of them a brown, a gold glitter, and pale pink. I was most excited about the pink! I have been looking for a nice pretty pink, but i was let down. It was toooooo pale! it looked like i had nothing on my fingers which i find a lot with lighter pinks :( if anyone knows of a good one please let me know!! I am dying for one. BUT yes overall these polishes are great. They last longer than WnW polishes :)
It is a great nail polish , which you can get in different colors. I love the color variation, and the bottles. But when i apply them to my nails i can only make them look pretty for 3-4 days, because after that they start to crack in the ends....which always results in that i just take it off. But for the price a great nail polish...
In need of inexpensive nail polish?
I have a whole box full of ELF's nail polish! I love the winter collection of 2011 especially. The product is really good. I love it because you dont need to put 3-4 coats of nail polish. I only put 2 coats and it's good to go! These is very affordable and soo many colors to choose from! each nail polish is only 1$!

In my Christmas stocking, I got a set of five of these polishes. They're okay. The color ranges are nice, although for most of them, what was on my nails wasn't what it showed on the bottle. I had a gold glitter in the set, and it wouldn't show up opaque on my nails, no matter how many coats I put, so I just put it over any dark nail polish that I have for a glittery topcoat. These polishes have a horrible, horrible smell but the color range is nice and it's dirt cheap so I guess it's worth it.

You better decide how much money you will spend on this. Because this can be highly expencive
Anyway, for digital photo camera, I would get Olympus E-500 SLR series. They are excellent for studio environments, have pretty good lenses in bulk with them. It also have 8.0 megapixel CCD, which in combination with good lenses can give really extra-good results.
The price of Olympus E-500 with lenses, fully loaded (batteries, batt.charger,) is about $800 - $900.
Then for that studio printer you ask, the model to choose and prices is too wide for writing here... You must specify some requirements, for example, the format of printing, resolution you demand, and such stuff...
Anyway if you would like to go in digital printing bussiness VersaCamm from Roland corp. is pretty good choice, but it's price will probably scare you off
So, Im guessing you need an office-like printer for use of only match-print's of your varius designs... For that purpose the best buy choice would be some Color LaserJet model from HP. I would choose HP Color LaserJet 3550 Printer series - this is an awesome printer, it print A4 format paper, from 60 to 230 g/m2 thick papers... Im talking here from my own experience, I own this printer and it's really good choice. It has network support also, with Jet-Link technology, it's pretty easy to install, just by following the instructions from the box. And the price is just something about $600, which is way lower than the camera above
Well, good luck with your studio!

Constance Barnes takes over as chair of Vancouver park board
The Vancouver park board has a new chair.
Vision Vancouver's Constance Barnes was elected to the post at the first meeting of the park board's 2011-2014 term on Monday night (December 5).
The previous chair, fellow two-term Vision commissioner Aaron Jasper, was elected as vice chair.
"We look forward to working together as a team with Mayor and Council, School Trustees and other community partners to get results for Vancouver," Barnes said in a statement.
Barnes, whose day-job is sales and marketing manager at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, topped the park-board polls in the November 19 civic election, with 63,951 votes.
The other members of the park board are Sarah Blyth (Vision), John Coupar (NPA), Melissa De Genova (NPA), Trevor Loke (Vision), and Niki Sharma (Vision).
According to the park-board website, the chair earns a yearly stipend of $10,000, while the other board members receive $8,000.

DARK DEALINGS by Karen Victoria Smith Four Stars Dark Dealings is the beginning. Be fore-warned as you'll fall for these characters. Hard. Smith introduces us to the world of Macaela O'Brien, a druid who has turned her back on her legacy. From the opening chapter, we are thrown into a search and rescue, and from there the reader travels around the globe from New York to Brussels, Boston to Ireland. Murder, mayhem and plot twists abound as challenges force Macaela to choose between her old life and new, friends and foes and make sacrifices along the way. This is an engaging story, well thought-out and plotted. Rich in detail with characters who will resonant with the fans of fantasy, this is good old-fashioned storytelling. One nit (and there is always one, isn't there?) is that the beginning was a bit confusing and unfocused. All became clearer shortly thereafter, but I found myself initially confused by all the names thrown at me. Your experience may vary. All in all, on small critique aside, a marvelous weekend read. Karen Victoria Smith grew up with an Irish grandmother who tried to teach her the old ways and watched horror movies with her in the dark. KV lives in New Jersey with her family who patiently allow her to believe that in a 24-hour world the monsters are real. Visit her at Storyteller's Grove, where you can read excerpts of Dark Dealings. Follow her on Facebook at K. Victoria Smith and on Twitter at @kvictoriasmith

On the corner of 155th and Frederick Douglas Boulevard in Harlem lies Rucker Park. By appearances, the concrete pavement, anchored on one side by its run down slab bleachers, is no different than any other basketball court in the city, but this is the place where nicknames are indelibly branded, and legends are born.
On September 1, 2006, the top 24 high school basketball players in the nation stepped out on this court, that once saw the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J to compete in the first annual "Elite 24" all-star game. GUNNIN' FOR THAT #1 SPOT follows eight of these players as they prepare to showcase their skills at the most legendary playground in the world.
Directed by Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys and director of "Awesome; I F***ing Shot That!"), the documentary trails these players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are being groomed to be in the spotlight of a multi-million dollar game. Combining Yauch's unique directing style with raw hip hop music, GUNNIN' highlights these soon to be NBA All Stars.
Yauch's interest in film and photography began while growing up in Brooklyn, NY. He started out with photography in elementary school by setting up a black and white dark room in his home, with some old dark room equipment his cousin was throwing away. By high school he was experimenting with shooting and editing super 8. He made his first film at age 16, which was projected during shows behind his fledgling band, "Beastie Boys."
Yauch has directed the majority of the band's videos including "Shadrach" (1989, one of Rolling Stone's Top 100 Videos of All Time), "So What'cha Want" (1992), "Intergalactic" (1998, winner of The Billboard Music Award's best clip in 1998, The European Music Awards Best Video in 1998 and MTV's Best Hip Hop Video in 1999) and "Ch-Ch-Check it Out" (2004). The Beastie Boys were honored with 1998's Video Vanguard award, MTV's highest honor.
He put together the "Beastie Boys Video Anthology" DVD, released by the Criterion Collection, the first of its kind to ever really take advantage of the breadth of the DVD format.
Yauch directed "AWESOME; I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT!" a documentary feature film of a concert shot by audience members which premiered at Sundance 2006 and was distributed by THINKFilm.

Cardiff's Cate Le Bon is slated to follow up her debut album, Me Oh My, on Jan. 17 with CYRK. The album is a pop-heavy long player that features wiry guitars, old-school production and her haunting Welsh-flavored voice. Le Bon started to record her sophomore record at the beginning of 2011, continuing her blend of art-rock drawing from equal parts Nico and Gruff Rhys. In the process, she created one of 2012's first impressive pop records, exuding a confidence similar to recent tour...

Is Beravor one of the characters from the other FFG game (can't think what it's called)
For some reason, I'd assumed Beravor was a man, and was a bit puzzled when I first saw the card- good to know it's meant to be a woman.
Never leave home without your Direwolf...
I really like this card, yesterday when I browsed through the characters it catched my eye instantly! Great job, hope to see more of your works in the adventure packs!

The Lancaster County Prison is old and it's overcrowded. An increase in suicides at the jail is now raising questions over whether there's adequate inmate supervision.
These challenges are well-known to the prison's new warden, Dennis Molyneaux, who started his new job on Monday.
"Not everybody can do the job, first of all as a correction officer," Molyneaux said.
Being a corrections officer is all Molyneaux has known for 37 years of his professional life.
"I always did through the years, I always did want to be the No. 1 person and I always did want to take on additional responsibilities," Molyneaux said.
Coming from Montgomery County, Molyneaux will have a lot of responsibilities to tackle while taking over an overcrowded prison that opened in 1851.
"As far as building your way out of overcrowding, that's not going to happen," he said.
To address the issues, Molyneaux said he will be talking with county judges, reviewing sentencing and holding procedures to possibly deal with overcrowding.
He also plans to be visible to the inmates.
"It's important that I be seen. I wanted to make that statement from the very beginning when I attended line up today," Molyneaux said.

Monoclonal Antibody A32 Against MEL-CAM/MUC18
Meenhard Herlyn
Hybridoma cells producing MAb A32 were obtained after fusion of the murine myeloma cell line P3X63Ag8.653 with spleen cells derived from BALB/c mice which were immunized by i.p. injection of 1.5 x 107 human primary WM902B melanoma cells and boosted with the same treatment procedures 2 and 7 weeks later.
Cell surface melanoma-associated antigens can mediate cell-cell or cell-substrate adhesion, signal transduction, proteolysis, or immune recognition and play a key role in determining invasive and metastatic competence of the tumor cells. MAb A32 binds to endothelial and melanoma cells and detects a 113 Kd cell surface adhesion receptor of the immunoglobulin supergene family. The Mel-CAM/MUC18 antigen is a cell surface molecule involved in heterotypic adhesion. The ligand for Mel-CAM/MUC18 has not yet been identified. Its characterization will be important for endothelial cell adhesion during inflammation.

Last week I talked about my summer project of replacing toxic cosmetic products in my home. I thought I'd give you an occasional update and review some of the products or ideas that we have been trying.
I know you are all dying to know how the baking soda hair wash went. I washed my hair using this method a week ago and kept track of my thoughts for you. My concerns were as follows:
1) Sticks
2) Ants
3) Brillo
To translate – I was concerned that my hair would be snarly and dry, that my scalp would itch and that my hair would look like #3. I have VERY strait hair, but it can also be pretty course.
I was surprised on all three counts. First of all, it was a pleasant sensation to scrub with the baking soda and water paste. When I rinsed with the vinegar (I just used regular old white vinegar) it was a bubbly party on my scalp. It felt so…gentle. I was expecting to feel more like I was scouring with Comet (it makes your mouth turn green…). When I got out of the shower the made-for-wet-hair brush literally slid through my hair. Once it dried, my hair looked like this:
Styling was simple and I used no products at all. My hair was very cooperative. And mostly it felt very, very clean. This was not a clean feeling I've had with my hair and scalp before. It was generally quite nice. My style (five minutes spent with a curling iron or strait iron, depending on my mood) held up great. My hair felt soft, but in a different way. It also felt much lighter. I was at two different functions the next day and two close friends of mine complimented my hair – I asked them to feel it and they were both shocked and all "NO WAY" when I told them I had crunchified it.
I thought I would have static or frizz issues, but that never happened either. I will say, however, that I live in Kansas and it's super-windy here, so snarls can be a problem. I did find that my hair tangled easier and more often, so I was taking a brush to it more frequently.
This is certainly something I will be doing again. At this point I don't think I will do it every time I wash my hair because I am trying out other products for the kids to use as well, but washing with baking soda and rinsing with vinegar is going to become a regular part of my routine. Did anybody else try this? What were your results? If you haven't, do you think you might?

Jagex positioning Transformers Universe as a MOBA
Sci-Fi, Game Mechanics, MMO Industry, New Titles, PvP, News Items, Browser, Transformers Universe, MOBA
"Transformers are about war; they're about action," Jagex chief creative director Alex Horton recently told Edge. "They don't carry gold, bake bread, catch fish, cut down trees. But for all they take away, they throw open so many more opportunities. Maybe there's more in a selection of characters and abilities, and the strategy in that, than there is [in] leveling a character endlessly and going through f--- loads of boss battles."
Transformers Universe will be a browser-based title. Jagex has not yet announced a release date.

Exams Finished
All the girls's exams are now finished. Jacqueline has completed her IGCSEs and Stephanie has finished her A-Level A2 exams.
Jacqueline did her Silver Public Speaking exam for LAMDA a couple of weeks ago, so we now have a break from those exams until November.
We are awaiting the results in August.
One chapter closes and a new one begins.
Jacqueline is going to College in September to do a Drama course, so let's hope she has a better experience than Stephanie did with her A-Levels.
Summer holidays are here – we could just do with a bit of sunshine!

Thoughts on PSU
I have been very reluctant to discuss the PSU scandal at any level. I have a large section of my family who are die-hard Nittany Lion fans and I know each and every one of them is hurting. Nothing I can write can make them feel better, yet one small slip could have me back at the kids table on Thanksgiving. Not a lot of upside.
But today I got to thinking. As much as it sucks for PSU right now, there is one thing they have to remember. I don't know where I originally read this, but I do recall it was several years ago. But it was about a powerful football program who was currently in the dumps. The writer said something along the lines of, "Don't worry about such and such (I forget the specific school), they will be fine, after all how can a school with a stadium that holds 80,000+ people stay down?".
The point is, where the passion for football is deep, and the tradition is rich, bad years will never last, things will turn around, and a few bad years don't mean things won't ever get better.
But PSU is at a cross-roads. The penalties have been issued and there is nothing left but to accept them and move on. However, it doesn't appear everyone in Happy Valley is ready to eat humble pie. I understand. For not being a part of the PSU family, I have as close as a front row seat to the passion as you can possibly have, yet not be in the PSU camp. Yet it is time to stop defending Paterno, stop defending the Program. I don't care if you don't truly feel that way, but at least make it look that way to the outside world.
It doesn't matter what you think of the Freeh Report, because in 49 States this is what the Freeh Report says "PSU allowed Child Abuse to Continue for the sake of the Program". Not my words, but the conclusion that 98% of America has come to. You can debate what really happened, but the rest of the country is no longer debating.
So now comes the hard part. You admit things happened and promise they won't happen again. You say thank you to the NCAA for not giving out the Death Penalty, and be glad that come September Beaver Stadium is full, players are on the field and it truly does once again feel like Fall.
However, to circle the wagons, to create groups like Team Outlaw and print out "We are…Pissed Off" T-shirts, is a mistake of monumental proportions. Though not a fan, I was proud of PSU when the clean cut kids from Pennsylvania beat the camo clad thugs from the U. That was something out of Hollywood, with clear good guys, and clear bad guys.
So I ask you, what kind of PSU program do you want to build. The one where everyone in America is pulling for you, or the villains. The way things are heading now, I don't see many friendly receptions on the road for PSU. I am sure there will be signs, and there will be taunts, and unfortunately that is going to happen. But to take your hat in hand and say things got crazy, innocence was lost, and we promise to once again carry the flag for how a program should behave, people will forgive. After all, there isn't one person on the field for PSU this season who has done anything wrong.
And now the whole point of this post. You can almost draw a parallel between Maryland Basketball in the second half of the 80′s and PSU now. A coaching legend who leaves in disgrace (with a debate about how exactly at fault he ever was), a HUGE tragedy (Bias and Sandusky), and a brand new head coach paying for the sins of others, and a program slapped to the point of just shy of the Death Penalty.
Now here is the good news Penn State fans. Maryland came back from it all, but we didn't circle the wagons, we didn't claim innocence. Sure some Terps figured we were punished a little too harsh, but you couldn't argue that we didn't need to be punished.
But you know what happened after those darkest days? Well some pretty piss poor basketball, that's what. But we had a player like Walt Williams, who when given a chance to flee to another program (and get seen on TV) he chose to stay. And Maryland fought. Then we found a gem from Virginia with the most common name ever, and we fought some more. Instead of getting kicked around, Maryland was flirting with top 25 rankings.
Then we found a kid from Baltimore named Keith Booth who carried the team. Then another kid from Baltimore who's only collegiate offer other than Maryland was from Providence. His name was Juan Dixon. And after coming oh so close in 2001, in 2002 Maryland and Gary Williams won the National Championship.
But that fateful game in Atlanta was not the last game of the 2002 season. It was the last game from one long season that stretched from 1990-2002. And as the ball was tossed into that air at the 0:00 mark, you could almost feel the presence of everyone who put on a Maryland uniform during that time. It was called "Sweet Redemption" because, well because that is exactly what it was.
Now PSU, you have two choices, fight the system, go with the "Us against The World Mentality", and see how well you are received outside of Happy Valley, or take the punishment and focus on once again restoring the glory back to State College.
The choice isn't easy, but it is obvious. You put your head down and work. That is what Maryland did, and we know how that turned out. Kentucky can win all the National Championships they want over the next 10 years and I promise you no Wildcat fan will treasure any of them as much as us Maryland fans hold 2002 dear.
So yeah things are going to suck, but believe me, when you get back on track, it will feel all the better. But step one is showing some humility. Yes I am not a PSU fan, and yes, I should not have a say in any of their business, but a lot of people I care about care about the Nittany Lions. And for me to think about kids across the country tuning in to see token Big 10 School play PSU, the thought of them thinking about PSU the way we felt about Miami is just sickening.
So knock off the denial, and put your white hat back on. Things will get better I promise, but keep resisting and you might as well put on some camo.

China's Economic Stabilization Is Now Reflected in the Equity Market
China's business surveys continue to show stabilization in economic activity. The ISI Group's seasonally adjusted MNI Survey index (see discussion) shows some recent improvement. The survey is fairly balanced, with 75% from manufacturing and 25% from services.
MNI: - Business conditions continued to expand after the lows of mid-summer, when they dropped to levels not seen since the height of the global financial crisis in late 2008 and early 2009. Key sub-indicators softened but mostly remain a few points into expansionary territory, still vulnerable to any external or domestic setbacks. Expectations for the future continued to improve in December at a faster pace but for the most part they too have not recovered very far into expansion.
Similarly the HSBC Manufacturing PMI (final measure from this morning) shows the bottoming out of manufacturing activity.
HSBC/Markit: - Output at manufacturing plants in China expanded in December, and for the second month in a row. Although the rate of expansion was modest, it was the fastest in 21 months. Total new orders also increased but at a faster pace than in November, the quickest since January 2011. Exactly 15% of panellists noted increased order volumes, a number of which attributed growth to increased client demand. Meanwhile, new export orders fell slightly following a modest increase in November. Just over 12% of firms reported lower new export orders in the latest survey period. Fewer export sales were linked to weak demand in Europe, Japan and the US.
In response to these positive indicators, some of China's institutions and money managers continue to come into the equity market that was abandoned by the retail sector. The Shanghai Composite is up for the year after a 15%+ rally in December. Even in China the retail capitulation signaled the bottom (see this post on Nov 30th). It is important to note however that China's economic stabilization is still quite tenuous and heavily dependent on economic activity in the US (see discussion).

A third civil lawsuit has been filed as the result of a tractor accident following last year's Warrior Dash. Ronald Johnson of Greenup County filed a complaint April 26 in Marion Circuit Court against Steven Baudendistel and Elizabeth Bradshaw, both of 1190 Popes Creek Road in Lebanon, and against an unknown defendant. Baudendistel was driving a tractor that was pulling a trailer carrying several passengers June 23, 2012, the same day the Warrior Dash obstacle race was held.
Did you get a letter claiming that you won a big prize? "Congratulations! You've won [fill in the blank.]" Or, has someone called you and claimed you've won a cash award? Don't be fooled. It's a scam. Sergeant Tim Abell at the Lebanon Police Department is warning local citizens to not fall victim to these scams. Unfortunately, he's currently working a case involving a local woman who lost a sizeable amount of money after being scammed by criminals possibly located in the Philippines.
The Color in Motion 5K recently completed its first race in Lebanon, and race officials have announced that they plan to return next year.
According to the press release, the race is tentatively scheduled to return May 17, 2014.
Tourism's impact on the local economy keeps growing. Statewide, tourism contributed more than $12.2 billion to Kentucky's economy in 2012, and in Marion County, that impact increased by 9.6 percent to $21.45 million last year. "It was well above the previous year and well above the state average," said Carla Wagner, the administrative assistant for the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission.
Phillip Clarkson will perform Saturday, May 11, at the Bradfordsville School and Community Center, 115 S. Sixth Street in Bradfordsville. The performance is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday. Concessions including chili dogs and drinks will be sold during the performance. Everyone is invited to attend, and proceeds from this performance will support the school building.
Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Rakes will be remembered in his home community and by law enforcement officers across the state. On May 7, Rakes' name was added to the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial, which honors officers who were killed in the line of duty. Rakes, 31, was shot and killed Nov. 14, 2012.
The 2013 General Assembly concluded March 30, but last week Gov. Steve Beshear indicated he may call a special session to deal with redistricting. "I hope to deal with redistricting sometime before the next regular session in January so that it will not be a distraction when we're preparing the budget for the commonwealth for the next two years," Beshear was quoted as saying in Lexington Herald-Leader's Bluegrass Politics Blog.
It is the policy of The Lebanon Enterprise to publish public records as they are reported by various agencies. This policy has been established to preserve the fairness and impartiality of The Lebanon Enterprise. Names appearing in public records and documents published by The Enterprise will be published without exceptions. Public records are published as a news service to our readers.
Local members of the National Association of Letter Carriers are holding their annual food drive Saturday, May 11. Residents can drop off non-perishable food items at their nearest post office or leave them in their mailbox. No donation is too small. The items will be distributed to local food banks.

BERLIN — Nokia, struggling to reinvent its smartphone business around Microsoft's
Windows software, said Thursday that it lost €929 million — about $1.2
billion — in the first quarter as sales plunged 29 percent amid flagging
demand for its lineup of older Symbian smartphones.
The loss contrasts to a profit of €344 million, or $451 million, one
year earlier. Sales in the most recent quarter fell to €7.4 billion from
€10.4 billion a year ago. In a statement, the Nokia president and chief
executive, Stephen Elop, said the company would accelerate cost-cutting
amid what he described as a mixed response to the new Lumia smartphones
with Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system.
"Over the last year we have made progress on our new strategy, but we
have faced greater-than-expected competitive challenges," Mr. Elop said.
Referring to the four Lumia smartphones now on sale, Mr. Elop said:
"The actual sales results have been mixed. We exceeded expectations in
markets including the United States, but establishing momentum in
certain markets including the U.K. has been more challenging."
The company, based in Espoo, Finland, had warned investors last week of
its first-quarter loss, with losses continuing into the second quarter.
In addition to cutting costs, Nokia has said it will explore unspecified
"structural changes," which some analysts interpreted to mean the sale
of business units, such as its 50 percent stake in Nokia Siemens, the
money-losing network equipment joint venture.
Nokia said it took a €772 million charge for restructuring efforts at Nokia Siemens.
Shares of Nokia rose 2.9 percent in Helsinki trading to €3.12.
Francisco Jeronimo, an analyst at International Data Corp. in London,
said that investors have been heartened to see gains in sales of the
Lumia lineup, which the company introduced last year. Nokia sold more
than 1 million Lumia phones during the fourth quarter of last year. In
the first quarter of this year, the number doubled to 2 million, at an
average selling price of €220.
"It took more than a year for Apple to sell more than 1 million iPhones in a quarter," Mr. Jeronimo said. "And it took Google-Android more than 1.5 years to sell more than 1 million Android handsets. So judged by that measure, Nokia is doing well."
In the short term, however, Nokia continues to suffer financially.
Sales in Nokia's core devices and services division, which make up 60
percent of total sales, fell 40 percent in the quarter, to €4.24 billion
from €7.1 billion. Overall smartphone sales fell 52 percent in the
period, to €1.7 billion from €3.5 billion, reflecting weakness in
devices using the Symbian operating system, which Nokia is phasing out.
The number of smartphones shipped by Nokia to operators and other
sellers fell to 11.9 million from 24.2 million in the quarter.
Sales of basic cellphones, which account for the bulk of Nokia's handset
revenue, also fell amid rising competition from low-cost Asian rivals
and pressure from Chinese mobile network operators, which are
aggressively discounting the prices of basic phones. The average selling
price for a basic phone fell by 18 percent, to €33 from €40 a year ago.
On Monday, Moody's downgraded Nokia's long- and short-term debt ratings,
citing the company's deteriorating financial position and raising
questions about its ability to shift its smartphone business from
Symbian to Windows. Moody's lowered its rating on Nokia's senior debt to
Baaa3 from Baaa2 and its rating on short-term debt to Prime-3 from
Moody's warned that Nokia may also have to inject more money into Nokia
Siemens, its venture with the German conglomerate, which lost a combined
€986 million in 2010 and 2011. Nokia, in responding to the credit
downgrades, said Monday that it was on target to reduce production
overhead at Nokia Siemens by €1 billion a year, as well as to cut €1
billion from operating costs in its core devices and services business.
But losses at Nokia Siemens are accelerating. In the first quarter, the
venture had an operating loss of €1 billion after a €142 million loss a
year earlier. Sales fell 7 percent to €2.9 billion.
