Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
This crime is just mean. A two year old boy's Christmas presents were stolen. Now, the family wants to warn others.
Jeff and Linda Thompson were keeping their grandson's gifts in a storage facility in the Security-Widefield area so he wouldn't find them in their home. Over the weekend, those gifts were stolen.
"It's one thing to break in there and take my stuff that would've been fine. But to take a baby's toys, at Christmas to me that's just wrong," Linda Thompson said.
Thompson told 11 News their two year old grandson, Maddox, loves to run around their home. He's been sick the last few days so they agreed to give him a present early. That's when they discovered the break-in at their storage unit.
"I just want to know why, it's just not right not at Christmas and not a little boy's stuff," Thompson said.
She said they spent $250 on toys and for them to be stolen, is heartbreaking.
"Luckily we can replace these toys but what about the families that can't afford to pay for Christmas twice; you shouldn't have to pay for it twice just because someone wants to steal your stuff, that's just wrong," Thompson said.
The toys weren't the only things stolen. Thompson said the crooks also took D.J. equipment, and NASCAR memorabilia.
We talked to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and a corporate spokesperson for the storage company, both said the Thompson's unit is the only reported break-in over the weekend.
The bottom line, if you have a storage unit, be sure to get insurance on your property. A lot of storage places require it now, but it's a good way to protect yourself if this ever happens to you.
The sheriff's office added people shouldn't store any sentimental items in your storage unit, things that can't be replaced.

The first official practice of fall camp 2012 is in the books and count head coach Chris Mussman among those in attendance that were pleased with what they saw. Sure there were mistakes, and the two-hour session was far from perfect, but the fifth-year head coach came away impressed by the product his 95 fall camp attendees displayed on the field at Memorial Stadium.
"I liked the tempo today," Mussman said. "Sometimes you don't get that on the opening day of fall camp, but our guys came out focused and really had what I thought was a good first practice."
As for the practice itself, there was no easing into what was the first official one for the team as a Big Sky member. And, that was not something taken lightly by the players.
"Our guys are well aware of what lies ahead with this season and how challenging the move to the Big Sky is going to be," Mussman added. "But, you could tell in the way they practiced today that that was on their minds. And, that was good to see."
Individual work and team work were all sprinkled into the script for the opening day with 11-on-11 work ending the day. In those final two periods, the offense and defense traded jabs with each side winning some third-down plays.
Junior Greg Hardin (Bellevue, Neb.) made the nicest catch of the day going up in between a couple of defenders to pull down a pass from senior Braden Hanson (Charlotte, N.C.).
Fall Camp Notebook
- The players sported brand new practice jerseys for the first official practice of fall camp. The offense wore black tops, while the defense wore white tops.
- Several of the players also donned the freshly painted helmets that will look slightly less metallic than in years past. The entire team will be outfitted in the new head gear within the first week of fall camp.
- No players had an ND decal on their helmets as those will have to be earned during fall camp.
- The cornerbacks were able to work with Wes Nurse, their new position coach, for the first time, while the other units all had the same coaches back from the spring.
- Redshirt freshman Dayo Idowu (Woodbury, Minn.) switched positions and opened fall camp working with the outside linebackers. Idowu spent his first season in the program at safety.
- Sophomore Dwayne Pecosky (Commerce City, Colo.) will work exclusively with the defensive line during fall camp after interchanging between the offensive and defensive lines last season.
- True freshman Codee Varner (Baker, Mont.) put together the fastest time in the annual "Sioux Run" on the eve of the first practice.
- WDAZ and KVLY both had reporters on hand for the first practice and the Grand Forks Herald had a photographer and two writers there to cover the action.
- The team will be back on the field for practice No. 2 at 9:15 a.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Indigo Girls still a powerful two
The Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers.
The Indigo Girls
8 p.m. March 7
North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., Skokie
$52, $62
Updated: April 1, 2013 6:09AM
Though their longtime friends and associates REM have recently disbanded, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are still going strong as the Grammy-winning folk-rock duo Indigo Girls.
The social and environmental activists and gay rights champions are nearing their third decade together as recording artists.
In fact, the Girls are currently touring in support of their 14th studio album, "Beauty Queen Sister" and headed for a March 7 concert at the North Shore Center for Performing Arts in Skokie.
We caught up with Amy Ray between shows for a quick chat about the new album, how she and Emily Saliers have kept things interesting for so many years and why she doesn't expect to hear Indigo Girls songs on country radio anytime soon.
Q: Now that "Beauty Queen Sister" is completed and you're on tour with the new songs, which ones are you particularly happy with?
A: Definitely "Share the Moon." I felt when we were working on it as a band that it all came together in a way that felt so good. I think Emily's song "Gone" also came together in a cool way, because it's kind of a country song and it really worked well with the country players we hired for the recording sessions in Nashville. It sounds almost like it could be on country radio. Alhough, that would never happen for us. (Laughs)
A: Country radio isn't into the Indigo Girls?
Q: No. I think it's because we're so. . .gay. You know? (Laughs) Well, I don't think it's just because we're gay. I think if we were gay but we were apolitical and we had more of a feminine image, that people could adjust to. . . But we are what we are. We're older, too. So, we have a lot of things that work against us in that world. It's a bummer, because I love country music.
Q: Speaking of how long the Indigo Girls have been around, how have you and Emily managed to keep things fresh as writers and performers?
A: It's still fresh for us because we try to look forward as writers. We don't do a lot of rehashing of old stuff. We really like writing new songs and working with different players and bring new opening bands on the road to create new experiences musically for ourselves. We try to do stuff that shows some growth or at least sends us out on a new tangent.
I think our audience sees that. The overall audience gets smaller or bigger depending on what's going on in the world, but there's a core group of people that have always stayed with us. And they want to hear new stuff, too. That's great, because it makes us feel like we're still relevant and we're not just playing the old hits over and over
Q: And your personal and working relationship? How have you and Emily kept things going smoothly for almost 30 years? Particularly in light of REM disbanding.
A: Well, we're two people instead of four, which helps. (Laughs) Those guys had a great working relationship and, musically, they're definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. But they got to the point where they said, "We're ready to call it quits and do other things." And I respect that.
I think Emily and I feel that if we got to that point, we'd be able to look at ourselves and say, "Okay, it's time to quit." But I don't see that happening. We have a lot of activism going on, we both have individual things going on in our lives and we have our thing together. So, when we get together and do our thing, we still have fun.
Q: Has your perspective as a songwriter changed since the early days?
A: Yeah, well, your perspective changes a lot when you grow up. It's not like I've changed as a person, or like my outlook on activism or my general place in the cosmos has changed. It's just that the process of living — meeting people, reading books, seeing movies, hearing music and having experiences — informs the work so much. Hopefully, your perspective just deepens and has more dimension.
Q: I remember hearing that Paul Simon, later in his career, felt embarrassed by "The Sounds of Silence"
A: Yeah, Emily and I have some old songs that we don't work with because we're embarrassed by them. (Laughs.) Someone will request it and we'll say "We can't go there."
There's a song of Emily's called "High Horse" on one of the super-early records that she. . .hates. People ask for it and she's nice about it, but afterwards, she'll say to me, "God, I would never do that song again." The same is true for my song "Blood and Fire," which people ask for a lot. It would have to be a rare moment for me to feel like singing that song again because it's. . . It's just had its time.
Sometimes you can feel embarrassed about earlier work you did because it sounds overwrought. And that's probably just because it's coming from such a young, vulnerable place.
Q: Aside from the new songs, what will you be playing on tour this fall? Is it true that you change the set list for every show?
A: Yeah. Every night it changes. We are going to be playing a lot of songs from the new record, but we also play a lot of old songs. We have a band on this tour called the Shadowboxers and they're amazing. They've got three harmony singers, so we've got all the backing vocals we ever wanted. (Laughs) And that's really fun. Basically we learned about 30 old songs with them, drawing from every record. And we're learning stuff on the road, too.
Q. After so many tours, so many performances, what has to happen to make you think, 'That was a really great show'? To make a show stand out for you as something special?
A: For me, it's mostly about our intonation, how our harmonies are fitting together. If my pitch is really on that night and I have control of my voice, but I don't have to think about it the whole time, and the music is really hanging together—that really transcends everything for me. If I'm sure about that, it really makes me feel good.
Other than that, it's whenever we have an audience that's really engaged with us and we can feel it. If the room feels like a community, that's a good show.

Romney shows softer side; Obama raising more cash
APOPKA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney is showing his softer side, while President Barack Obama works to extend his cash advantage as both men begin a final month sprint to Election Day.
The Republican presidential nominee was spending a second consecutive day campaigning in Florida on Sunday, where he is drawing on the success of his recent debate performance and pressing a populist message.
"These are tough years for the middle class and the poor in America," he told more than 6,000 supporters Saturday night at an amphitheater in Apopka, Fla., near Orlando.
He later shared his personal connection to three people who have died, including a former classmate who attended one of his rallies despite being wheelchair bound.
Romney said he whispered in his friend's ear, "I love ya and God bless ya."
"He died the next day," he continued. "It's rare that you get a chance to tell someone how much you love him while you still can."
The message is part of a larger strategy to emphasize Romney's compassionate side and centrist political positions as he courts the slice of voters yet to settle on a candidate.
Obama, meanwhile, is trying to recover from a lackluster debate last week that gave his Republican rival some badly needed momentum. The president got some good news of his own when Friday's jobs report put the nation's unemployment rate at the lowest level of his presidency.
Obama's campaign is well positioned to press his message that the nation's economy is moving in the right direction over the contest's final month. While polls suggest the race is tightening, Obama and his party have reported raising $181 million in September.
It was their best fundraising month of the campaign and just short of their record of $190 million in the 2008 campaign, also in September. Romney's campaign has not released its report for the month yet. Continued...
Obama was setting out Sunday to collect more campaign cash over two days in California. The state is safely in Obama's column but drawing his attention because it is rich with Democratic donors.
In what will be his final fundraising trip out West this election, Obama's celebrity friends — from actors to singers to chefs — will come out in force to help him get others to donate. Obama was expected to raise several million dollars.
Such a dedicated focus on fundraising this late in the campaign underscores the central role of money in swaying votes, particularly in television advertising in the eight to nine states that will decide the outcome.
On Sunday, Obama was holding two fundraisers in Los Angeles. He is also appearing at a small, elite gathering at the home of entertainment mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, where Obama will be joined by former President Bill Clinton. His campaign calls the gathering a "thank you event" for longtime donors.
Obama's main event will be his remarks at a star-studded concert at the Nokia Theatre, marking exactly 30 days until the election. Actor George Clooney and musical guests Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi and Katy Perry will entertain the crowd.
The president will wrap up his night at Wolfgang Puck's WP24 restaurant, high above the L.A. skyline in the Ritz-Carlton hotel. With 150 people expected at a cost of $25,000 per person, that event alone will raise $3.75 million.
Obama's trip, in total, will be three days, covering fundraisers in San Francisco and a rally in Columbus, Ohio, the state at the center of both campaign's efforts.
The only official presidential business on the trip comes Monday in Keene, Calif., where Obama will designate as a national monument the home of Latino leader Cesar Chavez, who died in 1993. Yet even that move has political implications. It is an appeal to Hispanic voters, who supported Obama by a 2-to-1 margin in 2008 and favor him by a similar margin over Romney, polling shows.
The weekend had Obama on a high, and he needed it after a lackluster midweek debate against Romney that gave fresh hope to the challenger's bid.
Friday brought the news that the unemployment rate has dropped below 8 percent for the first time since Obama took office. And on Saturday, Obama's campaign reported that the president and his party raised a combined $181 million in September, their most lucrative month of the election. And, belatedly, Obama and his wife celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Continued...
Meanwhile, Romney's campaign unveiled a new television ad claiming Obama is not telling the truth when he says Romney wants to cut $5 trillion in taxes. The campaign has not said where the ad will run.
Obama's campaign is also running a new TV ad called "Dishonest," which carries on the post-debate theme that Romney grossly misrepresented his own positions as well as Obama's on taxes. Online videos were posted by the campaign with the mantra, "Romney won't tell the truth," about Medicare, energy, taxes and more.

A few of you (China folks) know we have had a very difficult year in which I have had to let go of many of my expectations, and to be honest, have had to grieve the loss of "how I thought things should be by now." Often it's hard for me to see all the wonderful progress because I am so close to the situation. But I KNOW Shu is a completely different child than he was 11 months ago! I have had to learn to stop comparing our story to others' stories. It was painful for me to read about how beautifully and happily and quickly other children were adjusting, when my son was so unhappy and fearful....so I had to stay off the blogs and forums for a while. We will keep loving and keep growing, and I pray and hope that another year will bring even more significant change.
One challenge has been his diagnosis of Apraxia of Speech, a neurological disorder that affects motor planning. Definitely a surprise special need for us. I've been writing about it on my blog, hoping to inform or help others who are also dealing with apraxia. Here's my latest post:

God bless you all!

Private Cloud combines the flexibility and scalability of infrastructure-as-a-service with the isolation and security required by many large organizations. Each of Hostway's private clouds is structured to meet your business needs, supporting a broad range of platforms and applications, all with a focus on superior uptime and performance. Below are just a few examples of private cloud usage scenarios.
Learn more about our Private Cloud Solution.
Private clouds make it easier to conform to internal policies or compliance requirements. A private cloud from Hostway provides complete physical separation while maintaining the benefits of virtualization. In addition, we offer HIPAA and PCI-compliant security solutions you can build directly into your private cloud, which will be housed in SSAE 16 Type II-certified data centers monitored 24x7 by expert staff.
Provisioning Time Decreases
Through private clouds, you can optimize your infrastructure resources across various teams in your organization. With on-demand resource availability, you can provision and distribute access to resources as needed. If you require a server to run a sandbox environment, it's no problem. If your marketing department wants to run an advertising campaign and needs a separate server, that's easy as well.
Failover Protection
Technology fails, so it's important that your environment be prepared. In a private cloud, you can create a separate set of hypervisors to keep your infrastructure from going down entirely. We can configure your solution to ensure that if one set of VMs fails, you'll have another set ready to pick up where it left off.
Resellers, MSPs and ISVs
Since private clouds can provide isolation of end user accounts, they are ideal for managed service providers (MSPs), independent software vendors (ISVs), and resellers that manage resources for their end users because they ease management overhead and streamline resource provisioning for their customers.
Below are some example infrastructure diagrams of solutions we can build
Setup Failover Protection with FlexCloud Private Hyper-V
Create separate set of hypervisors to keep your infrastructure from going down entirely. If one set of VMs fails you will have another set ready to pick up where it left off.
- Hardware Firewall
- 2 x Managed Servers with Windows Datacenter Edition
- Management via Hostway Windows System Center
- Storage Array – shared or dedicated array
Keep Mission Critical applications online with FlexCloud Private solutions
Make sure your most important websites are ALWAYS online with Hyper-V. Multiple firewalls and hypervisors prevent mission critical sites from going down.
- Hardware Firewalls
- Managed Servers with Windows Datacenter Edition
- Managed Windows System Center Servers

NYU's Tisch School of the Arts (TSOA) signed on as a sponsor of the parent National High School Musical Theater Awards. That organization brings regional winners from throughout the country to study for a week in New York and then to compete for astounding top prizes for the best actor and best actress winners: "four-year scholarship assistance" to attend TSOA'S Department of Drama "upon acceptance into the program" (gotta get past NYU's academic review first).

Stopping a loop
Hello beautiful people!
Right, so I'm working on some code for a tiny little game, and I was wondering if it's possible to stop a loop which generates elements. When they the meteors collide with "felix" (I have function for that), a game over overlay is shown, but I need to stop that loop from running forever.
function createMeteor() { for(var i; i=0; i < 1; i++) { var meteor = document.createElement("div"); meteor.className = "meteor"; document.getElementById("game").appendChild(meteor); meteor.style.left = randomPosition(0, 540) + "px"; meteor.style.top = document.getElementById("game").offsetHeight + "px"; } }
Is it possible to stop this function createMeteor or the loop inside it?
Thanks in advance!
I feel like I'm missing something here. What is the point of having a for loop when you only have one element?
Maybe because it's a game he only wants it to run once in this particular case but may need it to run more than once somewhere else. I have no idea.

21 Things You Never Knew About New Year'sWe're taking this time to look back and count our blessings...and a few other things too.

Related ResourcesKeep Reading6 New Year's Traditions You Can StealIf you're resolved to try something new this year, swap out the sequins and Champagne for one of these customs. The One Thing That Will Make January Your Favorite MonthAuthor Caitlin Shetterly recounts an unexpected tradition that turned a time of year that's usually grim (and grimy) to sparkling. Blackboard Wars centers on a high school tarnished by failing academic performance and stigmatized by a culture of violence. Granted unprecedented access, cameras go behind the scenes to follow education maverick Steve Barr and no-nonsense principal Dr. Marvin Thompson as they embark together on an unpredictable mission to reinvent and revive the struggling school.

 In January 2012, the New Orleans state-run Recovery School District announced the selection of charter organization Future is Now (FIN) Schools: New Orleans to operate a Type 5 Charter of John McDonogh High School starting with the 2012-13 school year. FIN CEO Steve Barr, who had previously overseen the transition of Locke High School in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, hired a new staff led by principal Dr. Marvin Thompson. Together, the new John McDonogh staff lay out clear expectations for student behavior and daily attendance while working to create a safe environment for students as they foster school pride and unity.

 Throughout the series, viewers will witness the daily challenges the staff face as their students struggle with a range of emotionally demanding obstacles including homelessness, violence, drug use, and teenage pregnancy. Tensions mount as teachers struggle to earn the trust of the students amidst intense scrutiny from the community. The staff must pull together as they strive to establish the new vision for the high school and provide a better future for their students.

 Tune in for the series premiere of Blackboard Wars, Saturday, March 2nd at 9/8c, only on OWN.

New in our Warhol Collection: Iconic "Brillo" Art on Cases for MacBook, iPad and iPhone 4S
We are proud to introduce the latest additions to the Incase for Andy Warhol Collection featuring a fresh interpretation of Warhol's famed Brillo® Soap Pads Box sculptures. Releasing just prior to Brillo's 100-year anniversary in 2013, this limited-edition series of products includes products for MacBook, iPad and iPhone 4S.
Andy Warhol's fascination with pop culture, products and celebrities gave his art a distinct perspective, but it was his detailed recording, documenting and reproduction of these subjects that made him a unique, and often controversial, conceptual artist. His 1964 Brillo Soap Pads Box sculptures elevated disposable packaging into a valuable artifact of Americana. Warhol's appropriation of mundane and blatantly commercial subject matter incited criticism from the art establishment of the time. However, the box sculptures were breakthroughs not only for the controversy they sparked, but also because they captured the zeitgeist of the era and reaffirmed Warhol's ability to redefine the boundaries of art. The Brillo sculptures have since become some of Warhol's most sought after and important works of the late twentieth century.
The new Brillo series is available now in our webstore.

Gewürztraminer is a tricky wine to match, one that one usually falls back on recommending with oriental food, so it's always good to come across something that's outside the Asian register.
I've been in Chile for the past week at the World's Best Sommelier competition and have plenty to report about that but here's a great non-wine match in the meantime - and a couple of tips about how to make an authentic Pisco Sour.
Signe Johansen recently competed in - and won - a food bloggers challenge to come up with the perfect dish for a Casillero del Diablo Chilean Cabernet. Here's how she went about it. (You can find the recipe for the winning dish, Pigeon breast and chocolate mole with redcurrants and parmesan mash here.)
Wine writer Stuart Walton casts a sceptical eye over accepted wisdom:
I always think it's misleading to describe pork as a 'white meat'. Strictly that's accurate, I suppose, but 'whiteness' somehow seems to suggest lack of flavour. Although that's still true of much mass-produced pork there's far more rare breed pork around these days which has a great deal of character.
None of you I'm sure can have failed to notice just how many different bottles of rosé are now available on the average supermarket shelf. From being purely a summer wine there are now rosés for almost every type of food and occasion just as there are different styles of white and red wine.
With the Thai New Year celebrations coming up you may well be planning to eat in a Thai restaurant or host a Thai meal at home. But which drinks are the best to serve?
I've thought for a while that Scandinavian food is on the way up so am not surprised to find another new cookbook on the subject from Trina Hahnemann who Telegraph cookery writer Xanthe Clay dubs 'Denmark's answer to Nigella' in the paper today.
This is possibly the most off-the-wall pairing I encountered on my recent Chilean trip and for that reason the most exciting - both on account of the food and the wine.
Like salt, pepper has a pronounced effect on wine, often making reds taste softer and lusher than they otherwise would. Unlike salt though, you also find peppery flavours in wines such as Northern Rhône Syrah and Austrian Grüner Veltliner.
Q I am going to a dinner where we take our own wine. The starter is slices of smoked pheasant with partridge pate, followed by fillet of venison then a dessert of profiteroles with lemon cream + chocolate sauce. then a savoury of rabbit and tarragon terrine. You may now realise my problem! Any suggestions?
A muggy evening in mid-July might seem an odd occasion to focus on wine and game matching but there were two reasons for last night's Louis Jadot game dinner and the Westminster Kingsway catering college. One is that they hoped to engage the attention of consumer magazines who work 4-6 months ahead in terms of feature planning and the second is that the Game-to-Eat campaign is trying to encourage us all to think of eating game year round.
I'll be doing a major round-up on my trip to Provence next week buthere are a few more thoughts on matching rosé and food, an update of mylast overview
The last two days have been quite, quite beautiful, starting mistily, basking midday in an unseasonally warm sun and finishing with an extended dusk that announces that spring is finally here. I immediately want to eat lighter meals: the new season's vegetables are not quite in yet but I can at least plan for summer and that means a spring clean of the cellar, pushing the full bodied reds to the back and assessing what whites, lighter reds and rosés I still have lurking in the racks.
The sharp-eyed among you will notice that my recommendations have changed since I posted this article earlier today. I've revised my opinion since retasting Cornish Blue which I found in my local deli - Arch House Deli.
The perfect match for lamb is red wine, right? Well, mostly but not always as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's recipes in the Guardian this weekend and my own recent experience have demonstrated
It's true that lamb is one of the most wine-friendly of meats, as at home with red Bordeaux and Rioja as it is with the more fruit driven varietals from the new world. But if you're looking for a spot-on match it's worth thinking just how - and for how long - you're going to cook it.
There was a time, about 10 years ago, when I wrote a lot about Merlot which was widely regarded as wine world's alternative to Chardonnay - an easy drinking red wine that went with almost any meal.
A general idea has got about that Chardonnay is for chavs but as anyone who has a taste for top white burgundy or other premium new world Chardonnays will know it's a spectacular food wine.
If you think you automatically need to partner a fish dish with white wine think again! Meaty fish such as salmon and tuna take really well to Pinot Noir, the grape variety that the hero Miles raved about in the hit movie Sideways.
When I read Mark Hix recipes in The Independent today they were so challenging that I nearly gave up but as everyone else seems to be writing about asparagus today and I've done a lot on asparagus recently there was no other option . . .
After all the rich eating of the last few days there's nothing better than a plateful of clean-flavoured, briney oysters. But what's the best wine - or beer - to pair with them?

Review time!
First, I'd like to give a very special shout out to my girl, Yalini Sabapathy! Wishing her a very happy bornday. Love you giiiirll! Second, I'm about a week late, but I'd like to say Happy New Year to y'all! It's been an interesting, and emotional, new year since I refused to spend time with people. I felt somewhat different the recent New Years Eve. I normally love spending time with either my Mom and sister, or my lovely friends – but this time, I wanted some alone time. So what did I do all on my lonesome? I went to Nathan Philips Square to watch City TV's 27th annual New Year's Bash. I went once in 2009 with two of my lovely ladies, and slightly buzzed, of course. This time, I stayed sober and saw the girls off since one out of the two, and the random friend, wanted to go to a restaurant. I told them it was fine, but I was going to stay here anyway, and then made a journey to get as close as possible to take a few pictures… which didn't go so well. However, the music was live – and that's all I wanted.
I'd like to say that the Bash was much better than the previous one I attended. It consisted of the following artists: JRDN, Neverest and their manager – and former Backstreet Boy – Howie D, Aleesia, the cast of American Idiot, Anjulie, and Karl Wolf. The hosts were from City TV's hosts of Breakfast Television. The energy in the crowd was absolutely fantastic and I completely forgot that I was on my own… except for the annoying brown man next to me who kept moving his shoulders into me as he was "dancing." Earlier, before I arrived to the crowd, I sent a text to one of my former classmates from my summer university class if she was there for this one as well. You see, in 2009, as the girls and I were on the right side of the stage and right in the front, she was on the exact opposite from us at the very front. Coincidence?
"Not everything is a coincidence, you dumbass!"
Surprisingly, she was right in front of me. I tapped her on the shoulder and we had a mini reunion, hugging it out. It was pretty silly. Even though there was someone I knew in front of me, at one point, I did feel lonely. I can't lie. I never felt such an emotion before since I'm so used to being on my own for the most part. Someone told me once that if you begin to recognize the feeling of loneliness, that means you're with people who really love you and keep your happiness going. I'm not lying when I say it's true. The people I have been close with the past year or two now have really helped me get over so much of my depression that it only hits me when I'm alone and not occupied. However, the little jokes from the hosts, and the music, kept me going and entertained me. The music in particular was really surging through my veins. Most of the music was quite upbeat, such as the tracks "Brand New Bitch" by Anjulie, and "Fuck Shit Up" by Karl Wolf. Neverest was the the group with the slowest beat tracks with "Everything". I think there were more people in the crowd this year. It really did feel that way. The crowd definitely did not help with body heat though. I was still freezing, because if I attended this concert with friends, it would definitely have taken longer to get home. "Five… four… three… two… one!" I heard the countdown as I was weaving my way through the crowd, hoping to get a headstart to leave. As the countdown finished, everyone shouted, "Happy New Year!" I officially spent New Years Eve with people, and alone. Thankfully, as the solo (and short) person I am, I accomplished getting through the crowd and arrived home at around 1:30 am.My rating for the New Year's Bash, including the performances, emotion, and excitement: 4.5/5

(WICHITA, Kan.)—
A historic Wichita church is back open for business after a year-long renovation.
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Central and Broadway, closed in late 2011 for a face-lift. Upgrades include a new ceiling, altar, gym and meeting rooms.
Fr. John Sherlock said the long process was worth the wait.
"We are offering something to our people," he said. "We have been good stewards of the cathedral to pass it on to the next generation."
The renovation cost about $17 million.

Footsteps of Hillary
Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first ones to summit Everest in 1953. Even though you won't be climbing the great mountain you'll still feel the rush of being up there where it all began.
(Was Everest Base Camp)
Day 1 - Kathmandu
Surely one of the highlights of any trek is the forced carb loading? Break out the stretchy pants and tuck into some guilt-free pizza, pasta, cheese spaghetti and momo dumplings.
- Pre-departure meeting at the hotel and an optional group dinner in the evening
Hotel Shakti or similarDay 2 - Phakding
Fly to Lukla then head off on foot from the airstrip. Towering above our route to Phakding are the icy peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru.
- Fly parallel to the Himalayan giants en route to Lukla
- Land on an airstrip built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid 1960s
- Explore the village of Lukla
- Begin the trek and descend to the Dudh Kosi River, heading to a lodge in Phakding
(Walking time: approx 3 hours)
Day 3-4 - Namche Bazaar
Yes, that's right. You're looking at Everest. Spend a bit of time acclimatising in Namche, which means "no strenuous activity". See if you can find the yak parking area above the market and gorge yourself at the bakeries (you're still carb loading, remember).
Day 3
- Set off on an 8 hour trek, acclimatising slowly to ensure peak physical form
- Walk through tracts of blue pine and rhododendron forest - both spectacular in the spring
- Awesome views of Kusum Kanguru and Thamserku peaks
- Cross a suspension bridge over the Dudh Kosi River
- The peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Taweche come into view for the first time
- Stay in a village lodge in Namche
- Haggle for Tibetan artifacts in local shops - if you've got the energy
(Walking time: approx 8 hours)
Day 4
- Stay at Namche to allow for acclimatisation
- Perhaps view the sunset and sunrise, and fantastic panoramas of Everest from the national park headquarters above the village
- Optional walk up the Bhote Khola River Valley to Thami
- See displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture
Day 5 - Khumjung
You'll come to appreciate the tern "short walking day". Stop by the National Park Museum, Everest View Hotel and a hospital built by Sir Edmund Hilary on our way to Khumjung.
- Continue the ascent alongside Everest
- Panoramas of towering Himalayan snow peaks
- Perhaps visit the nearby small hospital run by Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust
- View a yeti skull at the Khumjung Monastery (if you're lucky!)
- Stay in a lodge in Khumjung
(Walking time: approx 2 hours)
Day 6 - Thyangboche
As far as monasteries go, this one takes the cake. If you don't feel a sense of calm sitting at 3867m in Nepal's spiritual centre of Tibetan Buddhism while looking at Mt Everest, then you might be a robot.
- Perhaps stop off for a hard-earned coffee and cake from the Khumjung bakery
- Rejoin the trail to Everest, keeping eyes peeled for Danphe Pheasant and Himalayan Thar
- Enjoy views of Kantega, Ama Dablam and Everest
- Stay overnight at Thyangboche
(Walking time: approx 6 hours)
Day 7-8 - Dingboche
Everest is so close you could touch it. We know you're excited but pace yourself because altitude sickness can sneak up when you least expect it.
Day 7
- Visit the Thyangboche Monastery
- Indulge in lunch at village of Pangboche, with the peak of Ama Dablam in the background
- Climb through alpine hillside to a lodge in Dingboche
(Walking time: approx 5 hours)
Day 8
- A day off from hiking to rest and acclimatise
- Explore the beautiful Imja Khola Valley and view the surrounding peaks
Day 9-11 - Kala Patar - Base Camp
Yes folks, it's the one you've all been waiting for - Everest Base Camp. Look out for expedition groups on their way to the summit. They're the rock stars of the climbing world (without all the groupies).
Day 9
- Tough hike to Lobuche
- View the peaks of Taweche and Cholatse from the chorten atop the Pheriche Valley
- Eat lunch at the foot of the huge terminal moraines of Khumbu Glacier
- Visit a line of memorial cairns, built in memory of Sherpas and other climbers who have died on various Everest expeditions
- Spectacular views of Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and, across the border in Tibet, Changtse
(Walking time: approx 6 hours)
Day 10
- Follow the broad valley that runs parallel to Khumbu Glacier
- Ascend gradually to the moraines of Changri Nup Glacier
- Experience the sensational sunset views from the amazing vantage point of Kala Patar
- Gains views of Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam, Taweche, Kantega and Everest
(Walking time: approx 3 hours)
Day 11
- Wake early for the trek along the glacier to Everest Base Camp
- If trekking between March and May, you'll almost certainly encounter yaks and porters supplying food and equipment to expeditions
- See the notorious Everest ice fall
(Walking time: approx 7 hours)
Day 12-14 - Thyangboche - Lukla
Say goodbye to our Sherpa crew at Lukla, where they'll entertain us with a bit of a traditional song and dance. Get together with the rest of your group and pool your tips.

- Head downhill to Dughla and enjoy a long tea break in Pheriche
- Visit a trekkers' aid post
- Great views of Imja Valley, Ama Dablam and Kantega
- Re-trace your steps to Debuche and on to Thyangboche
(Walking time: approx 6 hours)
Day 13
- Descend from Thyangboche to the suspension bridge at Phunkitenga
- Cross the Dudh Kosi river and ascend to Trashinga
- Grab lunch in Namche Bazaar and enjoy a final opportunity to visit the shops
(Walking time: approx 8 hours)
Day 14
- Set off on the last, steady 5 hours of the trek
- Arrive back in Lukla and celebrate (or sleep off) what you've just achieved
(Walking time: approx 5 hours)
Day 15-16 - Kathmandu
Time to celebrate with a tongba (hot millet beer) and a plate of ziva (pastry fingers filled with cheese), while you relax your weary but incredibly toned legs. You've earned it.
Day 15
- Wake early in Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu - hopefully not too hungover
- Spend the final night in the Thamel district of Kathmandu
Day 16
- The trip ends this morning, but Kathmandu has a lot more to offer those who wish to prolong their stay

Birmingham Ensembles
These ensembles are highly valued by the Children, Young People and Families Service. Many elected members of the Council and senior officers attend concerts each year.
William Salamon undertook a thorough review of the Music Ensembles, commissioned by Birmingham Music Service. This is what he said:
Birmingham Music Ensembles exist in order to:
- give pupils the opportunity to perform in groups of a size and standard beyond that possible in individual schools
- provide a clear progression for developing musicians offering a range of appropriate musical experience.

Cheap hotels in Latin Quarter, Paris
Neighborhood Description
The student district of Paris since the 13th century, the Latin Quarter is located in the Left Bank's 5th arrondissement, and includes the Ile de la Cité in the center of the Seine. It's home to the Sorbonne University, the vast Jardin des Plantes on its eastern end, the Place St-Michel, the Panthéon on the Ste-Geneviève hilltop, and Notre Dame Cathedral on the Ile de la Cité. It's a lively area of Paris completely overrun with students and tourists and the cheap shops and eateries that cater to both constituencies.
After dark, the masses congregate in the pubs around the Place de la Contrescarpe and the clubs off the winding Rue de la Huchette. Many of the buildings in the Latin Quarter date back to the 1600s, something to keep in mind when choosing a hotel where ancient wooden beams and exposed stone walls come with winding, uneven stairs and tiny rooms.

Four ballets with dynamic inspiration: Stravinsky incorporated Tschaikovsky's melodies into his poignant divertimento; the score for Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux was originally composed for Swan Lake; Peter Martins' Bal de Couture takes its cue from stunning costumes by legendary designer Valentino; and Diamonds, the third act of Balanchine's plotless full-length Jewels, is an homage to his Russian heritage.
Incorporating melodies by Tschaikovsky, Stravinsky's divertimento is the passionate yet mysteriously foreboding groundwork for Balanchine's ephemeral choreography.
Set to music originally composed for Swan Lake, this virtuosic ballet is beautiful and beloved — a 9-minute adrenaline rush for dancers and audiences alike.
With its symphonic Tschaikovsky score, Diamonds venerates the regality of Balanchine's native Russia for an elegant and romantic experience.
The performance of NYCB 2013 on the date of Sunday, January 27, 2013 is in the past. Please select a different date or change your selection.

What would've happened if the GTX 480 launched at the same clocks, but with the 512 Shaders like we thought it would have had?
Dec 7, 2010 1:57 pm
So, the GTX 580 is too expensive, but you want an NVIDIA video card? - The GTX 570 could be the goods. Let's see what Gainward are offering in this GLH version.
Dec 6, 2010 12:28 pm
We've already seen that the GTX 580 can offer some serious performance, but let's see what happens when we bump up the voltage.
Dec 2, 2010 6:02 am
It's nice to know that someone out there made the effort to get us a GTX 580, even if it wasn't NVIDIA.
Nov 15, 2010 3:16 am
The GTX 580 might be here, but companies have only just begun to really get stuck into the GTX 480. We check out the GIGABYTE Super Overclock version; a series we've grown to love.
Nov 6, 2010 3:48 am
Lightning continues to strike from MSI. Today we find out if it can strike again with the GTX 480 variant of the series.

We try and see what tricks we can pull with Sapphire's TRIXX OC software on the Sapphire HD 6870.
Oct 25, 2010 10:02 am
We begin to get down and dirty with the HD 6800 series. First we start with the HIS HD 6850 running a BIOS with 1120 Shaders (vs. the reference 960).
Oct 23, 2010 7:32 am
We've checked out the HD 6850 in CF and since we've got another HD 6870 from HIS, it's time to turn our attention to the bigger brother in tandem.
Oct 22, 2010 9:07 am
Having checked out both the new HD 6850 and HD 6870 cards separately, it's now time to turn our attention to other areas of interest with the new models. First up? Some HD 6850 Crossfire goodness thanks...
Oct 22, 2010 2:00 am
Joining the launch of the HD 6870 today is its little brother in the HD 6850. Let's take a ride in Sapphire style and see if it can impress.

Sep 27, 2010 6:55 am
We see if we can make the GTX 480 Super OC from Galaxy the Super Duper OC by overclocking it further.
Sep 23, 2010 3:56 am
Galaxy make the fastest single GPU card faster. The question we ask is whether or not they can also make it better.
Sep 17, 2010 10:39 am
Already impressed with what the GTS 450 in SLI offers, we see what our Galaxy offerings do when we ramp up the clocks further.
Sep 16, 2010 11:19 am
That time has come for the latest, most talked about video cards from NVIDIA where we pair the Galaxy GTS 450 Super OC with another one and see what happens.

Alongside the launch of the new GTS 450, NVIDIA give us a brand new driver that's supposed to yield good gains. Let's put it to the test and see if that holds true.

Economic Diversity Regional Universities (West)
Economic diversity has received growing attention in higher education, particularly at elite schools that haven't traditionally enrolled large numbers of low-income students or students from low-income families. This table shows the percentage of undergraduates receiving federal Pell grants for low-income students.
The proportion of students on Pell grants, which are most often given to undergrads with family incomes under $20,000, isn't a perfect measure of an institution's efforts to achieve economic diversity: A college might enroll a large number of students just above the Pell cutoff, for instance, and percentages at public universities may reflect the wide variation from state to state in the number of qualified low-income students.
Still, many experts say that Pell figures are the best available gauge of how many low-income undergrads there are on a given campus. Pell grant percentages were calculated using 2010-2011 school year data on the number of Pell grant recipients at each school collected by the U.S. Department of Education and given to U.S. News and fall 2010 total undergraduate enrollment collected from the colleges themselves by U.S. News.
These rankings are split into 4 regions: North, South, Midwest, and West.

Hi all,
I tried using the following, pretty standard, configuration to open my hibernate session and declaratively demarcate transactions:
Attempting to use this code resulted in HibernateTransactionManager not opening a Session unless the method name in my service object matched "save*" or "del*".Code:<bean id="txProxyTemplate" abstract="true" singleton="true" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean"> <property name="transactionManager"> <ref bean="hibernateTransactionManager"/> </property> <property name="transactionAttributes"> <props> <prop key="save*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop> <prop key="del*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop> <!---- NOTICE THE FOLLOWING LINE ----> <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS,readOnly</prop> </props> </property> </bean> <bean id="aService" parent="txProxyTemplate"> <property name="target"> <bean class="a.service.class"> <property name="aDao"> <ref bean="myHibernateDao"/> </property> </bean> </property> </bean>
Now, I understand than the hibernate transaction manager opens a session and creates a transaction according to the transactionAttributes but it took be quite a while to make the inverse realization that since PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS implies that a transaction will not be started (unless that is there is a surrounding tx which is not my case) the hibernate session won't be opened either.
So, what is one supposed to do:
- 1. avoid PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS?
2. use a HibernateInterceptor as well (using the postInterceptors attribute of the TransactionProxyFactoryBean)?
My opinion is that the session should be opened by the TransactionProxyFactoryBean even when using PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS.
In any case I think this point could be made somewhere in the documentation, ie, that the session won't be opened unless a transaction is started, even if the method name is matched against the transactionAttributes.
Best regards,
