The blog of Stephen David Smith, Tokyo, Japan 2014
This year will see the completion of a really interesting new piece of architecture in one of the old parts of Tokyo, Asakusa. Built in so-called shitamachi (downtown), and coinciding with something of an injection of life into the area due to its completion at roughly the same time as Tokyo Sky Tree due open this may, the Asakusa Culture & Tourism Center starkly contrasts its surroundings with its modern, glassy facade and unconventional form.
It's designed by Kengo Kuma and as you can see from the picture is made up of seven individual units stacked on top of each other. It sits directly opposite Asakusa's most famous tourist attraction, Kaminarimon which leads through to Nakamise Dori and eventually Sensouji Temple. The building will be built on the site of what was the original Asakusa Culture & Tourism Center fronted by the Karakuri-dokei, an extremely kitsch mechanised clock from which animatronic figures would pop out on the hour like a nightmarish cuckoo clock. Obviously a big improvement, but I'll still miss it anyway.
Such is the way of things in Tokyo. Old buildings disappear and new ones spring up in their place. It was only last year Kabukiza was demolished to make way for its modernised replacement. There are in fact a handful of new architectural projects taking place all around the city which I'll try to post on if I get chance.

Coffee competition too hot for Simon
8:00am Monday 10th December 2012 in News
FIERCE competition has led to the closure of a Romsey café.
The Style Room Café only opened last year and the owner of the Market Place business, Simon Troke, said since Costa Coffee arrived on the other side of the street earlier this year, trade had suffered badly.
"Since they opened, we've lost custom and we've seen a large drop in takings in the café," said 31-year-old Simon, who also ran the adjoining Style Room homeware store until last Friday.
Brian Wood, a partner in the business, has taken the shop over while Simon concentrates on a new venture outside Hampshire, which he said he preferred not to disclose.
He will be closing his other shop in Hythe before Christmas. Simon said the lease of the premises hah run out and he had decided not to renew it.
"I am going to miss Romsey, because it is a lovely community and I've enjoyed it here."
Simon played a leading role in persuading Network Rail delay closing the main route into Romsey until after Christmas last year while the Ashfield rail bridge was rebuilt.

We need more variety in Romsey, cut down on the charity shops and estate agents, maybe more clothes shops. I have to say Aroma was very pricey and too unique - more touristy than for the locals.

You've got it, Chris. Obama's not going to turn over anything or at least anything truthful. Our advantage is demanding that he disprove the negatives we throw at him.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Some call it the gateway to downtown Toledo, others – a notorious speed trap. Now the speed limits on Dorr Street are up for debate.
Tony Kynard grew up along Dorr Street in west Toledo.
"Over the years, I've seen…a couple accidents at Richards and Dorr area, where the speeding was an issue," Kynard said. "I've seen an accident when I was younger, somebody died."
Now city council is considering a plan to change the speed limit on Dorr Street. In Kynard's area, from Reynolds to Green Hills Road, the speed limit would drop from 50 to 45 miles per hour. From Green Hills to Coventry, it would stay at 40. Then from Coventry to Manila, it would decrease from 40 to 35, and from Manila to Washington, it would increase from 30 to 40.
Dorr Street is in Councilman Tyrone Riley's district. He says he's ready for lower speeds in the area.
"By reducing the speed limit by five miles per hour, people feel more comfortable," Riley said. "It would allow pedestrians as well as motor vehicles to gain access to Dorr Street a whole lot better."
Increasing the speed closest to downtown could make all drivers happy. The current 10-miles-per-hour decrease has cost many drivers a ticket.
"I got a ticket down there, myself," Kynard said. "I think it is a little too slow. The drop of speed is just too drastic."
City council could vote by next Tuesday to ask ODOT to change the speed limits.

With their sixth victory in the last seven games, the Tigers improve to 10-9 overall and 5-1 in the CAA. Towson now boasts a winning record after 19 games for the first time since the 1999-2000 season in which the Tigers also started 10-9.
Towson recorded its third-highest margin of victory in a CAA game with the 26-point win. The only times the Tigers won by more points were a 76-45 win over William & Mary on Dec. 3, 2005 and a 92-65 victory over Georgia State on Feb. 10, 2007.
Towson's 26-point margin of victory is its largest margin ever against James Madison. The Tigers and the Dukes have now played 37 games since 1979.
The Tigers, who are off to their best start in conference play since joining the CAA in 2001-02, are 5-1 in the conference and stand second in the league standings behind Northeastern. This is the first time since 1995-96 that Towson has open its conference schedule with a 5-1 record. The last time Towson was 5-1 in conference play came when the Tigers were members of the North Atlantic (now America East) Conference.
In the win over James Madison, the Tigers exploded in the second half to take command. Leading 31-28 at intermission, the Tigers outscored the Dukes by 42-19 in the second half, holding the visitors to just 26.9 percent shooting.
Leading 47-36 with 9:50 remaining, the Tigers started to pull away when freshman Jerome Hairston and junior Mike Burwell connected on back-to-back three-pointers only 23 seconds apart to increase the lead to 53-36. From that point on, the Dukes were never closer than 15 points.
Sophomore forward Jamel Flash gave the Tigers their largest lead of the game when he nailed a jumper with 53 seconds left, giving Towson a 73-45 advantage.
Junior Jerrelle Benimon, who recorded his NCAA-leading 13th double-double of the season, posted 13 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds for the Tigers. Graduate student Bilal Dixon connected on four of eight shots from the floor while scoring 13 points with seven rebounds and three blocked shots. Hairston added 13 points on five-for-nine shooting. He also made three of six shots from three-point range.
Defensively, the Tigers held the Dukes to 25.5 shooting from the floor and outrebounded the Dukes, 45-33.
Towson made eight shots from beyond the arc, its second most of the season. The Tigers also had a season-high 15 assists, including four each from Benimon and junior Marcus Damas.
The Tigers return to action on Monday night when they host Georgia State at 7:00 p.m.

Selwyn Waxman and Keogh enjoy big weekend at Woodbine
Owner Brenda K. Selwyn Waxman and trainer Mike Keogh scored a hat trick this weekend at Woodbine.
The connections won Saturdays first race with Inclusa, who broke her maiden in a 1 1/16-mile race over the Polytrack Elite surface, scoring a 3 1/2-length victory. The 3-year-old Ontario-bred daughter of Smart Angel was ridden to victory by Luis Contreras.
Mount Brew broke his maiden in Saturdays 5th race, coming off the pace to win a 1 1/16-mile race over the Polytrack Elite surface by 1-length. The juvenile colt by Grade 1 winner Milwaukee Brew was piloted to victory by Luis Contreras. Mount Brew was bred by Adena Springs.
It was a filly by Survivalist that would give the connections their third victory on Sunday as they took the days 10th race, a 7-furlong contest over the Polytrack Elite surface at Woodbine, winning by a head. The 3-year-old Ontario-bred filly was ridden to victory by David Moran.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison is a little lighter in the pocketbook after kicking Green Bay Packers lineman T.J. Lang in the groin on Sunday. During a scrum following a field goal attempt, Robison was caught on tape kicking Lang in the groin. Robison was flagged for the incident, and was hit with a $20,000 fine on Tuesday after the league reviewed the incident.
It appears the incident is water under the bridge for the two men involved. Robison explained himself and apologized, saying he was in the heat of the moment at the time.
Lang replied on Twitter that he accepted Robison's apology and did not consider him a dirty player.
Robison says he got caught up in the heat of the moment when he kicked Lang, who had dumped him on to his back during Mason Crosby's field goal attempt. Robison says he regrets it and will make sure it doesn't happen again.
Video of the incident can be found here.

The Earth's crust is an extremely thin layer of rock, like the skin of an apple in relative terms. It amounts to less than half of 1 percent of the planet. But the crust is exceptionally important, and not just because we live on it.
The crust can be thicker than 80 kilometers in some spots, less than one kilometer in others. Underneath it is the mantle, a layer of rock some 2700 kilometers thick that accounts for the bulk of the Earth. The crust is primarily made of granite and basalt while the mantle beneath is made of peridotite. More about all that below.
How We Know the Earth Has a Crust
Just a century ago, we didn't know the Earth has a crust. Until the 1900s all we knew was that our planet wobbles in relation to the sky as if it had a large, dense core. Astronomical observations told us so. Then along came seismology, which brought us a new type of evidence from below: seismic velocity, or the speed of sound in rock as measured using seismic waves from earthquakes.
In 1909 a paper by the seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic established that about 50 kilometers deep in the Earth there is a sudden change in seismic velocity—a discontinuity of some sort. Seismic waves bounce off it (reflect) and bend (refract) as they go through it, the same way that light behaves at the discontinuity between water and air. That discontinuity, named the Mohorovicic discontinuity or "Moho," is the accepted boundary between the crust and mantle.
Crusts and Plates
The crust is not the same thing as the plates of plate tectonics. Plates are thicker than the crust and consist of the crust and the shallow mantle just beneath it; the two-layered combination is stiff and brittle and is called the lithosphere ("stony layer" in scientific Latin). The lithospheric plates lie on a layer of softer, more plastic mantle rock (the asthenosphere or "weak layer") that allows the plates to move slowly over it like a raft in thick mud.
We know that the Earth's outer layer is made of two grand categories of rocks: basaltic and granitic. Basaltic rocks underlie the seafloors and granitic rocks make up the continents. We know that the seismic velocities of these rock types, as measured in the lab, match those seen in the crust down as far as the Moho, so we're pretty sure that the Moho marks a real change in rock chemistry. The Moho isn't a perfect boundary, because some crustal rocks and mantle rocks can masquerade as the other, but even so everyone who talks about the crust, whether in seismological or petrological terms, fortunately means the same thing.
In general, then, there are two kinds of crust, oceanic crust (basaltic) and continental crust (granitic).
Oceanic Crust
Oceanic crust covers about 60 percent of the Earth's surface. Oceanic crust is thin and young—no more than about 20 km thick and no older than about 180 million years. Everything older has been pulled underneath the continents by subduction. Oceanic crust is born at the midocean ridges, where plates are pulled apart. As that happens, the pressure upon the underlying mantle is released and the peridotite there responds by starting to melt. The fraction that melts becomes basaltic lava, which rises and erupts while the remaining peridotite becomes depleted.
The midocean ridges migrate over the Earth like Roombas, extracting this basaltic component from the peridotite of the mantle as they go. This works like a chemical refining process. Basaltic rocks contain more silicon and aluminum than the peridotite left behind, which has more iron and magnesium. Basaltic rocks are also less dense. In terms of minerals, basalt has more feldspar and amphibole, less olivine and pyroxene, than peridotite. In geologist's shorthand, oceanic crust is mafic while oceanic mantle is ultramafic.
Oceanic crust, being so thin, is a very small fraction of the Earth—about 0.1 percent—but its life cycle serves to separate the stuff of the upper mantle into a heavy residue and a lighter set of basaltic rocks. It also extracts the so-called incompatible elements, which don't fit into mantle minerals and move into the liquid melt. These in turn move into the continental crust as plate tectonics proceeds. Meanwhile, the oceanic crust reacts with seawater and carries some of it down into the mantle.
Continental Crust
Continental crust is thick and old—on average about 50 km thick and about 2 billion years old—and it covers about 40 percent of the planet. Whereas almost all of the oceanic crust is underwater, most of the continental crust is exposed to the air.
The continents slowly grow over geologic time as oceanic crust and seafloor sediments are pulled beneath them by subduction. The descending basalts have the water and incompatible elements squeezed out of them, and this material rises to trigger more melting in the so-called subduction factory.
The continental crust is made of granitic rocks, which have even more silicon and aluminum than the basaltic oceanic crust; they also have more oxygen thanks to the atmosphere. Granitic rocks are even less dense than basalt. In terms of minerals, granite has even more feldspar, less amphibole than basalt and almost no pyroxene or olivine, plus it has abundant quartz. In geologist's shorthand, continental crust is felsic.
Continental crust makes up less than 0.4 percent of the Earth, but it represents the product of a double refining process, first at midocean ridges and second at subduction zones. The total amount of continental crust is slowly growing.
The incompatible elements that end up in the continents are important because they include the major radioactive elements uranium, thorium and potassium. These create heat, which makes the continents act like electric blankets on top of the mantle. The heat also softens thick places in the crust, like the Tibetan Plateau, and makes them spread sideways.
Continental crust is too buoyant to return to the mantle. That's why it is, on average, so old. When continents collide, the crust can thicken to almost 100 km, but that is temporary because it soon spreads out again. The relatively thin skin of limestones and other sedimentary rocks tend to stay on the continents, or in the ocean, rather than return to the mantle. Even the sand and clay that is washed off into the sea returns to the continents on the conveyor belt of the oceanic crust. Continents are truly permanent, self-sustaining features of the Earth's surface.
What the Crust Means
The crust is a thin but important zone where dry, hot rock from the deep Earth reacts with the water and oxygen of the surface, making new kinds of minerals and rocks. It's also where plate-tectonic activity mixes and scrambles these new rocks and injects them with chemically active fluids. Finally, the crust is the home of life, which exerts strong effects on rock chemistry and has its own systems of mineral recycling. All the interesting and valuable variety in geology, from metal ores to thick beds of clay and stone, finds its home in the crust and nowhere else.

So what the hell is up with the voice actors in Batman: Arkham Origins?
One of the more controversial aspects of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins is the lack of the best-known voice actors of that franchise. In this game Batman will be voiced by Roger Craig Smith, and the Joker will be voiced by Troy Baker, instead of the better-known Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.
I was able to hear a bit of the voice work during the presentation and my hands-on time with the game and, while Batman definitely sounded different, Troy Baker performed a version of the Joker that was hard to separate from Hamill's iconic voice work.
Still, why change the voice actors at all?
"We're really defining ourselves by this early career setting, so it's important that our characters sound young, that they sound like they're young, that they're in that time period," Eric Holmes, the creative director of Arkham Origins told the Report. "So we did a lot of soul searching and a lot of testing and auditioning, and we found voices that we think are great, very authentic versions of those characters. They sound like Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, but rewound several years."
"We're not trying to re-invent Batman with this game, or the voice actors we've chosen. We're trying to be authentic," he continued.
We agreed that Batman has a sort of "squishy" timeline, but I was told that this Batman was around 27 years old. He's been doing the Batman thing for around two years at this point. It makes sense that he would sound different, especially since Batman is a character Bruce Wayne is playing; the voice evolves.
Besides, we wouldn't rule out Kevin Conroy having something to do with Batman's voice in the game.

This is the fifth in a series of opinionated fantasy football columns that will be posted daily in July and August, providing fantasy owners with some insights to consider as they prepare for their drafts. You can get an in-depth preview of the upcoming fantasy football season with the purchase of the Yahoo! Sports / Pro Football Weekly Fantasy Football Guide 2010, available now in newsstands and bookstores, or online at PFWstore.com.
While the NFC West arguably remains the league's weakest overall division, it shapes up as one of the strongest in terms of individual fantasy defenders, led by Niners ILB Patrick Willis, the NFL's no-brainer No. 1 overall IDP.
What follows is a rundown of the NFC West's top seven IDPs entering the 2010 season, according to Pro Football Weekly.
1. 49ers ILB Patrick Willis — How good is Willis, whom the Niners didn't hesitate to give a well-deserved five-year, $50 milion contract extension? After making his first delayed appearance in the team's OTAs this offseason, coming off rehab from right knee surgery in mid-March, there was unanimous agreement from daily team observers that he was immediately the best defender on the field. Willis has averaged a whopping 155.7 tackles in his three seasons in the league since being selected as the Niners' No. 1 pick in 2007. In '09, he led the league in tackles (for the second time in three years) with 152 and tackles for loss with 13. With his superior sideline-to-sideline speed and uncanny knack for always being around the ball, he tied his career-high mark with four sacks, had a career-high three forced fumbles and tied for second among NFL linebackers with a career-high three interceptions, one of which he returned for a TD — a further testament to his range and versatility. Did we mention that he's just coming into his prime at the age of 25?
2. Rams MLB James Laurinaitis — A second-round pick by the Rams last season, Laurinaitis wasted no time being named the starter at middle linebacker. A quick study with a tremendous work ethic, he finished the season as the team's leading tackler with 120. Laurinaitis had six or more tackles in 10 games and proved to be an extremely tough customer, gutting out shoulder problems down the stretch. He still has some work to do in coverage, but taking into account his 24/7 commitment to improving his game, the odds are good that he will keep getting better and better as a pass defender. Performing in an improved LB corps flanked by fellow Ohio State graduates Na'il Diggs and Bobby Carpenter certainly won't hurt his cause.
3. Rams FS O.J. Atogwe — After looking for the longest time like he was destined for a change of scenery due to a prolonged contract impasse, Atogwe will be ready to give his all after signing a new five-year contract in late June. The Rams' most proven playmaker has registered 18 picks and averaged 76.5 tackles the past four seasons. Since becoming a fulltime starter in 2006, Atogwe has more interceptions and forced fumbles (37) than any player in the league. Before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury last Dec. 6 against Chicago, he started 60 consecutive games and says he's back to being 100 percent healthy.
4. Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett — Blessed with a wickedly quick first step, the high-energy Dockett has established himself as one of the league's best interior pass rushers. Last year he led all NFL interior linemen with seven sacks and registered a career-high 15 tackles for loss. His tackle totals are most impressive, considering how many teams put together game plans specifically designed to stop him.
5. Cardinals DE Calais Campbell — Campbell racked up seven sacks in his first full year as a starter and quickly filled the hole left by Antonio Smith's departure to Houston. Very physically gifted, he works hard and plays with excellent leverage, despite his 6-foot-8 height. Campbell says he is determined to become a perennial double-digit sacker and appears right on course to accomplish that goal. His long arms should allow him to force more fumbles.
6 49ers FS Dashon Goldson — After getting off to a slow start in his first season as a starter, Goldon ended up being one of the league's most productive fantasy DBs. He led the Niners with four interceptions and registered three forced fumbles, two sacks and 94 tackles, which tied for third-most in the league among free safeties. A head hunter of the highest order, Goldson showed how dominant he could be in an outstanding Monday-night victory over the Cardinals, when he had six tackles, two forced fumbles and an interception.
7. Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson — An oldie but goodie, Wilson can be a dominant defender whose impact increases the closer he lines up to scrimmage. An elite in-the-box safety who plays linebacker in the dime, he tackles superbly, blitzes effectively and delivers crushing hits. One of only 10 NFL players to record at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions, Wilson made his second consecutive Pro Bowl start after finishing the season with 74 tackles and a career-high five interceptions.

- GPS reception is often poor
There are different reasons for bad GPS reception.
In this article some of the most common ones should be shown:
▪ Basically, good reception of GPS data requires an unobstructed path from
the receiver to the satellites. Tunnels, narrow thoroughfares between
buildings and reflecting house fronts can restrict GPS reception greatly or
make it impossible.
▪ When the GPS receiver or the navigation device is inside a vehicle
with a metallised windscreen or a windscreen heater, those might be
causes for poor GPS reception.
▪ If necessary, place the GPS receiver near the rear-view mirror.
Here there is often no metallised surface or heating wire.
Alternatively, an external GPS antenna can be connected to most
GPS receivers and navigation devices. Please notice that there are
various types of connector. For details of the socket on your device
refer to the manual issued for the device in question.
▪ It can take up to 20 minutes to initialise a GPS receiver for the first time.
Each time you switch on the navigation device or the GPS receiver,
GPS reception will start within a short time after. If more than a week
has passed since the navigation device or the GPS receiver was last
switched on, it can take up to 10 minutes to initialise it the next time.
▪ GPS reception can also be obstructed by external conditions.
In multi-storey car parks or tunnels, for example, reception
is often greatly restricted or impossible.
▪ The commencement of GPS reception may be delayed if you setDenne oppføringen ble sist oppdatert: 13. desember 2011 13:37
off before the software indicates correct GPS reception. If you are
using an external GPS receiver, this one must be connected to the
navigation device by cable or by wireless Bluetooth.

A single mother is terrified her flat might collapse around her after huge cracks began appearing in its walls.
Samantha Randall, 27, who lives in Phillimore Place in Radlett, has been plagued by the cracks and by mould since she moved into the property five years ago, and believes the two might be linked.
As well as a floor to ceiling fissure in the cupboard in the hall, there is a network of fractures in a corner of the living room and one extending along the width of the corridor outside.
There is mould growing in her daughter's bedroom, which she is constantly wiping away, and, in the past, newly hung wallpaper has blistered and peeled away from the walls three times.
She said: "I'm worried the foundations of the entire building might be subsiding. The cracks are all in the external walls rather than the plaster and the ones the living room were repaired a year ago but have come back.
"I had a new bath put in recently and they had difficulty fitting it because the floor wasn't level. The front door is beginning to hang at an angle as well.
"There is a crack extending across the concrete floor in the corridor outside which makes me think it is a structural problem. I'm worried the whole block of flats is splitting apart.
"It's getting steadily worse and I'm afraid, in a few years time, I'll come back to my flat to find it has crumbled."
Miss Randall has forbidden her eight-year-old daughter from playing in her room because the reoccurring mould makes her fear for her health.
The flat, which was built 30 years ago, is managed by housing association Affinity Sutton and Miss Randall feels the organisation has not done enough to help.
She said: "People from Affinity Sutton has come in to look at the mould in the past. It got a little better but it keeps coming back. I was told by their contractors they would not fix the cracks because of lack of money.
"As a single mother trying to get back into work there is only so much I can take. I am confused and frustrated by Affinity Sutton. If they don't fix it, this will only get worse and worse.
"I want to move out but I can't afford to and I wouldn't want to do a house swap because that would saddle someone else with these problems."
When Miss Randall wrote to Hertsmere MP James Clappison about her problems he responded by saying it seemed as though Affinity Sutton had not been "straight" with her and sympathised with her concern and frustration.
Other flats in the building have suffered badly from damp and cracking, with one resident complaining of a long fissure extending across her wall and ceiling.
A spokeswoman for Affinity Sutton said: "Our surveyor visited Ms Randall's property yesterday following concerns raised by the resident regarding mould and a potential subsidence issue. The cracks in the walls reported by Ms Randall have been diagnosed as caused by thermal movement – a common occurrence in modern homes. We sympathise with the distress the appearance of these cracks will have caused Ms Randall and we have been able to re-assure her that they pose absolutely no threat to the safety of the building.
"We have now commissioned a specialist to address the cracks. We have also provided Ms Randall with advice on measures she can take to reduce condensation, a contributor to household mould, and have arranged an appointment to investigate whether there is any water penetration from the gutters.
"We received an enquiry from James Clappison MP and we will keep him updated. However, there is no question that we have misled Ms Randall - we understand the inconvenience that these issues have caused her and we will be working quickly to resolve them."

University of Maine graduates living in the Atlanta area are one step closer to forming an alumni chapter.
They recently got the ball rolling thanks to Pete and Ada Lee Correll who hosted a dinner at their Atlanta home attended by more than 50 UMaine alums as well as by President Robert Kennedy and representatives from the University's Office of Development.
The idea was to see if there was any interest in developing a UMaine alumni chapter.
Several Atlanta alumni pronounced the event a huge success. They praised the Corrells for their graciousness and said they welcomed the opportunity to meet other Black Bears. They said they enjoyed listening to President Kennedy discuss the exciting projects in which UMaine is involved. With more than 350 graduates in the Atlanta area, the time is ripe to create a UMaine alumni organization, they agreed. Members could build support for UMaine, spread word of the impressive things happening on campus, and even recruit students.
"All it takes is two or three people with some ideas and the willingness to pull people together," says Patrice Krant '78, who planted the seed for the Atlanta event and co-hosted with the Corells.
For Patrice, it's an especially fitting time to form an alumni group. "We've got Campaign Maine to tie it to," she says, referring to UMaine's $150 million campaign currently underway.
David Driscoll '87 is ready to roll. "I'd like to start laying the groundwork. I think there's enough people who have shown an interest. I got several business cards from folks and I definitely will start getting in touch with them."
The event was the first opportunity for Dan Lawless '75 to meet alums from Atlanta. He says he looks forward to more occasions to connect with UMaine grads.
"It would be great to build relationships around the University – it's something we all have in common."
Dorcas Goodwin Wilkinson '78 and '80 also is enthusiastic about the prospect of an alumni organization.
"Our primary mission should be to help share information about the great things that are happening at UMaine and engage alumni in supporting our alma mater. When you hear Dr. Kennedy and others speak about the important research going on and the great students we are recruiting, you want to give back because you realize you can have an impact."
Alumni agreed that among the highlights of the dinner event was President Kennedy's presentation about the cutting edge research and development initiatives UMaine is spearheading — such as the work being done in the Antarctic to find solutions to global warming — and the new educational opportunities the flagship University is providing – including the creation of the new school of policy and international affairs.
"It's good to know UMaine is still growing," says David.
Atlanta alumni say they were impressed with President Kennedy's vision and leadership as well as his focus on economic development.
Patrice noted his obvious pride in UMaine and in the widespread recognition the flagship University is receiving both from in and outside the state.
"He's a very good leader, very engaging," she says. "He's humble but his confidence in the school comes across."
Alumni agree it did their collective hearts good to belt out the Stein song and reminisce about old times.
"It just warmed my heart to see to see so many people with fond memories and a strong connection to Orono," says Patrice. "Everybody had a different story."

House and Senate leaders are working behind the scenes with the governor to strike a deal on a major tax bill, aiming to avoid lengthy negotiations in a conference committee.
The Senate delayed a final vote on its tax bill Tuesday to accommodate the new approach. We are hopeful we can reach some accommodations, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger told the chamber.
House and Senate lawmakers are moving the same direction to cut income taxes but the details of the two chambers plans are vastly different. If the Senate had taken the vote to give the bill a final stamp, as was expected, it would have returned to the House. The House likely would have rejected the new Senate version and forced a conference committee process.
Berger said he is hoping to short circuit the process and reach an accord now. He delayed it a day, though it is possible the two chambers could need even more time. Republican leaders from each chamber have been meeting for months on taxes but the two have yet to find common ground.
In an interview, Berger said he is leading the negotiations for the Senate but he refused to offer any specifics. Where are you drawing the line? he was asked. Comprehensive tax reform, Berger replied. What makes it comprehensive? Well see when we get it, he said.
As for criticism that the legislation doesnt reflect actual tax reform, Berger sought to recast expectations. He said reform means legislation that reduces the tax burden on individuals and businesses and modifies the states tax structure.
House Speaker Thom Tillis, meanwhile, made clear Tuesday that the divide between the House and Senate tax plans remains a wide gulf.
In an interview, Tillis said the two chambers need to breach a philosophical divide one that may take days, if not longer, to reconcile. His tone seemed to differ from Berger earlier in the day. We are trying to change the mix in a way we believe will actually stimulate economic activity, Tillis said. I think the Senate is trying to do the same thing, but they have also focused on spending reductions which we all want, but we need to do it at a pace that we can actually absorb.
Tillis said House Republicans are concerned about cutting too deep into revenue needed for state spending priorities and hurting local governments, forcing them to increase property taxes.
As for the criticism that the Senate plan doesnt represent tax reform, but merely a tax cut, Tillis said its a valid question.
Gov. Pat McCrory is involved in the discussions and is expected to play a key role after the legislation is approved. We need the governor fully on board so he can communicate it and get people to understand it, Tillis said.
Gun laws worry agencies
Two major law enforcement agencies oppose a sweeping gun bill approved by the Senate. The N.C. Sheriffs Association and N.C. Association of Police Chiefs are concerned about a measure House Bill 937 that would loosen gun controls by repealing the requirement for a permit to buy a handgun and allowing guns in bars and on school property.
House lawmakers declined to concur on the Senate changes this week, sending them to the Rules Committee on Tuesday.
The chiefs association board listed three major problems with the bill. It opposes allowing concealed weapon permit holders to take firearms into places that serve alcohol; firearms on schools and college campuses; and the elimination of the pistol permit. Regarding the latter, the police chiefs said elimination of this important background investigation prior to issuance of a pistol permit is detrimental to public safety.
The sheriffs are only concerned about the language repealing permits to purchase pistols.

Zabalaza: A Voice for Organised Anarchism in South Africa Nov 06 0 comments
The Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front, or ZACF Zabalaza meaning struggle in isiZulu and isiXhosa is a specific anarchist political organisation based in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is a unitary organisation or federation of individuals, as opposed to a federation of collectives whereby membership is on an individual basis, by invitation only. This is because we have seen through our own experience, as well as that of global anarchism historically that we can accomplish more as an organisation, and be more effective, when our members share a certain level of theoretical and strategic unity, and collective responsibility.
The Black Bloc: A Disposable Tactic Jun 29 0 comments
Usually masked - to prevent identification and as protection against the teargas used by the repressive forces - and dressed distinctively in the traditional anarchist colour of black, the so-called "black bloc" has provided anarchism with its greatest public profile since the mass protest movements of the late 1960s. But this is a class war and we need to be flexible in our tactics and change swiftly where needed in order to keep the enemy off balance. For now, it is time to drop the black bloc tactic, go unmasked in daylight, and blend in with the workers. Since they are prepared for the black bloc, we need new approaches that will catch them off-guard.

KRK Rokit Powered 5 G2 Studio Monitor (Single) Reviews
Ideal for home studio
The Rockit RP5's are brilliant for mixing and monitoring at home. They give you fantastic quality and bass response without waking up the whole neighbourhood!
Very reasonably priced for such a great frequency response.
With the bass ports on the front they can feel bass heavy but don't let this put you off.
KRKs are where it\'s at
I\'ve got a set of the RP6s and they are banging - these are where it\'s at and that\'s it! Really super-cool! Perfect for bouncing down.
Rokit 5 G2 Monitors
I recently purchased a pair of rokit 5 g2\\\'s for my home studio set-up, and I am very pleased with the results.
For £250 a pair these are brilliant value. They look and sound great and hav had an immediate impact on my mix down of tracks.
I previously used passive speakers ran through an amp with a tannoy sub, and the rokits have made the mid and top end crystal clear.
I would recommend these to anyone wanting to upgrade their project studio and wanting to take their mixes seriously.
KRK RP 5 MkII
This is my first set of monitors. I am used to mixing on a set of high end computer speakers, so this is obviously a step up. These speakers blow my previous set up right out of the water!
I have listened to my friends\' Tannoy and Alesis monitors, which are good, but not as clear as the Rokits.
My favorite feature has to be the knobs on the back, which allow you to tweak the sound so it fits in your room. It\'s handy as we can\'t all afford acoustically treated, dedicated mixing rooms.
Overall, I think they are worth every penny.
KrK G2 - 5\'s
I have had these in my (home) studio as monitors now for about a year. They provide a crisp nearfield sound, balanced bass and treble response, the bass can be a little boomy when the mix is played on a PA system, but then thats not uncommon and easy enough to fix with a touch of eq.
I have them mounted on floor stands, and spike isolated, I tried them on the desk itself but I found they made the desk shake, maybe had them turned up too far, but it definitely gives a better sound to have them spread away and on stands.
I\'d recommend them as monitors.

Kokomo —
Feds must de-fund Planned Parenthood
I am wondering why the Kokomo Tribune decided to print such an important article and hide it down in the NEWS OF THE WEIRD!
"A better reason to de-fund Planned Parenthood: The organization has survived a controversial de-funding campaign over its limited [LIMITED?] abortion program, but its Washington state chapter, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, began a quixotic safe-sex campaign in February in which thousands of condoms were distributed with scannable bar-codes. The plan was that users would automatically register information about their locations during sex, and, if the users chose, other information about the particular sexual experience they just had ..."
And this is what OUR tax dollars and money borrowed from China are going for? No wonder we have such a huge deficit!
The U.S. government definitely needs to de-fund Planned Parenthood!
Pat Duchane, Kokomo
'Audacity of Deceit' unveils secret agenda
I just started a rather chilling book. You will soon learn just how chilling, should you choose to read it too.
The book, penned by Brad O'Leary, president of ATI-News.com, is a warts-and-all look at Barack H. Obama, and from what I have read thus far, there is no shortage of warts.
The book titled "The Audacity of Deceit" paints a rather unflattering portrait of our current president.
Mr. O'Leary, in the dust-jacket notes, states the following points of Mr. Obama's agenda:
(1) Blocked emergency-related aid for babies who survived abortion.
(2) Plans to ban the use of firearms by law-abiding citizens for self-defense.
(3) Would raise tax rates to a Hoover-like 60 percent.
(4) Will transform the U.S. Treasury into the United Nations' ATM.
(5) Wants fuel prices high and farmland taken out of production.
These five points I've cited are just the tip of the iceberg; the story runs deeper and should be sufficient cause for a closer look at Mr. Obama and his record. For additional information, visit
Since Election Day is Nov. 6, the time to arm oneself with the facts is NOW.
Kenneth Crockett, Kokomo

...And not because it was Valentine's day. I was writing a myriad of articles for this here fine site, so there will be a dearth of witty commentary in this edition of the tidbits. Sorry, y'all.
Today's tidbits cover college baseball, the exciting world of NCAA rules, and a certain actuarial nightmare.
Today's tidbits feature Nate going off the deep end, ACC recruiting analysis, and good football news.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were placed on NCAA probation following a 20-month investigation into the Institute's football and men's basketball programs. Dawg Sports wants to know why the...
Reports indicate that the University of Georgia is about to hire Greg McGarity, a former Bulldog athlete who works as Florida Gators head honcho Jeremy Foley's right-hand man, as athletic director....
The assumption in both cases is that there's actually something to the "Richt on the hot seat" meme – that he was feeling some kind of pressure from Evans himself or his bosses, who Evans was somehow able to keep at bay – which still defies public statements from UGA power brokers and common sense. What was Evans supposed to be protecting Richt from? Criticism of his pace to become the winningest coach in Georgia history? Antsy boosters looking to grill him over four straight top-10 finishes, or two SEC championships in four years after a 20-year drought since Herschel Walker's final season? The unlikely late-season run to No. 2 in the final polls in 2007? Despite Bradley's optimistic take, the conventional wisdom is that new athletic directors are a threat to coaches: Personalities may clash, and if the record suffers at all, the new boss has no incentive to remain loyal when he can bring in "his guy." But as Bradley also notes, Richt wasn't Evans' guy; he was hired by Evans' predecessor, Vince Dooley. Whatever the internal impatience with Richt, Evans was certainly aware of them; for all we know, he originated them. But unless someone high up the chain is specifically looking for a hatchet man who'll have Richt's head at the first opportunity, whoever inherits the AD's chair won't have any more reason to put Richt in his crosshairs than Evans did. An utter disaster of a season could change that equation. If there are high-placed Richt skeptics, the end of the Bulldogs' 12-year bowl streak could conceivable force a heavy hand or two to try to sweep him out. Short of that kind of wholesale collapse, though, Richt shouldn't need any buffers or friends in the short term beyond his own resumé.As MaconDawg said it would, the removal of Damon Evans as Georgia's athletic director has added fuel to the silly "Mark Richt is on the hot seat" fire. Fortunately, Dr. Saturday is on the job to debunk such nonsense. (Hat tip: Senator Blutarsky, who wisely notes that, in the wake of a scandal involving a series of personal misjudgments by a deposed athletic director, the school has even less incentive than before to jettison a head coach whose personal behavior is beyond reproach.) Go 'Dawgs!
The discussion of the Bulldogs' new athletic director already has begun, with Greg McGarity and Carla Williams being the leading candidates in the conversation. While I prefer McGarity, I would be pleased with Williams, albeit with one caveat: Williams's experience in athletic administration has come at Vanderbilt and at Georgia during a period of decline. McGarity has spent the last eighteen years working closely with Jeremy Foley in the building of championship programs in all sports at Florida. Personally, I'd prefer to keep Williams where she is, using the financial and managerial skills she has developed while working with Evans, and make McGarity athletic director, enabling him to implement the championship-winning approach he learned from Foley. There are, of course, reasons for preferring Williams to McGarity, and I do not fault those who would rather see Williams promoted from within (or made interim athletic director until a full search can be conducted, thereby giving her an extended audition for the position). However, Mark Bradley expressed an idiotic sentiment when he called McGarity "a Dooley loyalist." What does it mean to be a Vince Dooley loyalist in 2010? Coach Dooley has been gone for six years, he appears to be enjoying retirement and has shown no signs lately of wanting to exercise any influence in Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, and he has indicated that his focus this autumn will be on the Tennessee squad coached by his son. Bradley may as well have called McGarity a Joel Eaves loyalist or a Wally Butts loyalist for all the real-world significance that label has today. Reasonable Georgia fans can and do prefer Williams to McGarity, but, as usual, Bradley has identified the dumbest reason for taking a reasonable position. Go 'Dawgs!
For once, Mark Bradley gets it right: this was sad but necessary. I sincerely hope Damon Evans finds a way to put his life back together, but it was clear that he could no longer do that at the University of Georgia. Go 'Dawgs!

NORMAL, Ill -- 13th Congressional District Republican Candidate Rodney Davis joined Adam Kinzinger, a Republican Candidate running for the 16th Congressional Cistrict at the Coffee Hound on North Street.
Kinzinger says it's time for smaller government, one that protects you and provides infrastructure for future growth.
"What we've seen lately is a bigger, more bloated, and bureaucratic government, we need to get people back to work, work toward a balanced budget, and you do that by putting government in line with where it needs to be and we also talk about north american energy security, and be able to provide our own energy," said Kinzinger.
If elected, Kinzinger says his number one priority is job creation.
He faces Democratic Candidate Wanda Rohl.
