Police to get woolly hats... but not just yet
9:30am Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Countywide
THE traditional police helmet may be an instantly recognisable sign of authority that commands respect.
But it doesn't keep chilly ears warm.
However Thames Valley Police officers on duty in wintry conditions will soon be able to wear a force-issue woolly hat.
Those on patrol or sitting in heated vehicles will not be allowed to wear them, but those stationed outside for long periods of time will get a standard issue black hat with the word 'Police' knitted in white on the front.
Pc Lisa Stanhope, Thames Valley Police Federation's head of health and safety, came up with the idea and helped officers lobby the force's Chief Constable Sara Thornton to allow the hats to become official regalia.
It is not yet known how much the new gear will cost as the first officers to wear them are yet to test them out – and they won't be available until at least the autumn.
Federation spokesman Graham Smith said: "It's just been approved so we can start ordering them now, and hope to have them in time for the next cold snap. "The current hats don't provide enough protection when it's cold outside so it should make a difference."
Not all officers will get the hats, only those who ask for them. The force isn't the first in the country to allow winter warmers however, as officers at Devon and Cornwall Police can wear both woolly hats and snoods.

They are never out of a warm car long enough to warrant the extra spend.

Typical, just about the most bloody expensive wooly hat design available.
Why not save us all some money and issue Royal Navy pattern hats at 3.99 each.

They are useful as a chocolate fire guard
Every time you see a crime in the paper it always has one of them outside building or road.

It was business as usual Tuesday for the Bay County Commission, but the meeting location was out of the ordinary.
Commissioners convened at Gulf Coast State College (GCSC) for their regularly-scheduled meeting, then donned hard hats for an inspection of the college's Advanced Technology Center (ATC).
What began as a concept in 2007 has turned into an 82,000 square foot, $35 million commitment to the future. When completed in June, the ATC will be a state-of-the-art center for technology education. Officials hope that translates into jobs.
The ATC is designed to tap into technology, train the next generation of engineers and entrepreneurs, and showcase local talent to prospective employers. "It just creates a lot of opportunities to bring in the work force that we need here in this area… particularly the high tech, high paying kind," said Dr. Jim Kerley, GCSC President. "We're a leg ahead of any other community by having this… it's probably the top one in the country."
Dr. Kerley said the keys to success will be integrating the ATC with the school district to benefit students from kindergarten through high school and partnering with business and the military. "If we are going to recruit new industry, this is where you want to bring them," he said. "It's just a fabulous facility that will make a difference for years to come."
The ACT is scheduled to open for the Fall 2013 semester.

DOLPHINS jump on Owls early in 12-10 victory
Related Links
KENNESAW, Ga. - The JU Dolphins (13-23, 6-6 A-Sun) scored ten runs in the first two innings to jump out to an early lead over the Kennesaw State Owls (19-18,8-7 A-Sun) in Atlantic Sun action at Stillwell Stadium.
The Dolphins jumped out early batting around in the top half of the first inning. Dylan Dillard (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) and Jake Huxtable (Winter Springs, Fla./Santa Fe College) reached on one out singles. Dillard scored on a fielder's choice by Brady North (Tampa, Fla./Hillsboro CC). Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla./South Georgia College), Drew Luther (Fullerton, Calif./Fullerton College) and Nathan Koslowski (Jacksonville, Fla./Episcopal) all followed with singles. Following a walk to Garrett Ruckel (Jacksonville, Fla./Stanton College Prep). Ethan Loosen (Uniondale, N.Y./FSCJ) ripped a bases clearing double to put the Dolphins up 6-0.
The Dolphins kept the heat on in the top of the second adding four more runs on five hits. The first six Dolphins reached base safely adding to the lead and making it 10-0. The big blow was a run scoring double by Rowe.
The Owls wouldn't go quietly adding four runs in the bottom half of the fourth inning on four hits to cut the lead to 10-4.
The Dolphins added a run in top of the sixth. Following a pair of walks to North and Koslowksi, Garrett Ruckel (Jacksonville, Fla./Stanton College Prep) singled scoring North and putting the Dolphins back in front 11-5.
The Owls added a run in the bottom half of the frame on two hits and a walk. The Dolphins helped out their own cause defensively when North started an inning ending double play that went to Kris Molter (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny) then back across to Adam Maxon (Oviedo, Fla./Oviedo) that was covering first on the play.
The Dolphins added an insurance run in the top of the seventh. Zachary Houck (Orange Park, Fla./Eagles View Academy) led off with a double and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Dillard. Huxtable then lifted a sacrifice fly to center scoring Houck easily to make it 12-6.
The Owls pushed across a run in the bottom of the seventh to cut the lead to 12-7.
The Owls mounted a rally in the bottom half of the ninth scoring three runs on three hits to round out the scoring at 12-10.
Adam Maxon (2-2) was awarded the win for the Dolphins going 2 1/3 innings and allowing two runs on four hits. Jeff Tanner (Jacksonville, Fla./Episcopal) started and pitched well in the dreary rainy conditions on Sunday afternoon.
The Dolphins will be back in action Friday from Northern Kentucky University. Game time is set for 3pm and can be followed live on www.judolphins.com

CATEGORIES InterviewsAs all 'X-Men' fans know, 'X-Men: First Class' is going back to the very beginning, before Charles Xavier was known as Professor X and Eric Lensherr became Magneto, with 'Kick-Ass' director Matthew Vaughn at the helm.
Kevin Bacon took some time out of his Golden Globes day to chat with Moviefone about joining the X-Men family. He plays villain Sebastian Shaw, a powerful mutant who's planning to take over the world amidst the backdrop of the swinging '60s and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Bacon teased some great scenes opposite the new Magneto (Michael Fassbender of 'Inglourious Basterds') and his character's cool '60s style, including a private inner sanctum and his own sub.
He also told us how he feels about the 'Footloose' remake and whether we can expect to see him in a cameo.
What can you tell us about your character, Sebastian Shaw, and how he figures into the plot?
You don't see much [of his backstory] in the movie, but he's kind of a self-made man. He lost his father as a young man, made his first million by the time he was 30 and first billion by time he was 40. He's a very powerful billionaire and also, as it turns out, a mutant. He's the leader of the Hellfire Club, which is a nightclub for the rich and extremely powerful. And he has a plot to take over the world, so that's really fun. He's incredibly good at manipulating people and at taking whatever kind of energy or ability they have and using it to his advantage, like if he's talking to a German, he's fluent in German. He's very charming and able to get whatever he wants.
Why did you decide to take on this sort of role?
I was a big fan of 'Kick-Ass' and someone told me I should go read the script and meet with Matthew Vaughn and like that, I was in 'X-Men.' I liked the script, thought it was such a fresh look at the franchise, but also the comic book movies in general and certainly it's a great character. He's definitely the character I was interested in playing.
Is your look changing for the film?
My look is very different from the guy in the comic books. We decided pretty early on that that was not going to translate to film. But there's a certain kind of style to the suits that I wear, but I don't have anything extreme in the makeup department. When you first meet me -- I don't want to spoil it -- but when you first meet me, I look a little different.
Were you an X-Men fan?
Oh yes, definitely. Not so much from the comics, because I didn't read that many as a kid, but I really liked the movie. I liked the notion of being different and the metaphor for judging people by their external qualities and the idea of racism and it plays very heavily into the themes for this movie. And is there the opportunity for people who are different to assimilate or to even relate to other beings that are different from them? In our realm of the world, we have humans, various versions of that and animals and plants and nature and they're introducing another element to that and I just think that's kind of cool.
Who's your favorite X-Men character?
I always thought that it was great that you had Professor X in his wheelchair. That's really fascinating -- right from the beginning to have a lead character bound to a wheelchair is super interesting and Patrick Stewart was great in the role.
Are you signed on to more than one film?
I am, but whether or not I end up in any more remains to be seen.
Matthew Vaughn was planning a big action scene in a rotating room, but scrapped it after he saw 'Inception,' and said he needed to go bigger. How has he topped it?
I'm trying to think what scene that was. I remember hearing something about that, but I'm not sure if that was online or actually from Matthew. But we do have a really, really super cool scene in a hall of mirrors and that's going to be really spectacular.
What's the craziest-looking mutant or mutant power that will get audiences talking?
That's hard to say because when you do a movie like this, so much of this stuff is happening in post. There were some practical things, like it's no secret that Magneto has the power to move and bend metal and the way that's handled right from the first scene in the movie is going to be really cool. It's something we haven't seen in any other movie so far.
The movie is set in the '60s: Is Vaughn going for a swinging '60s, James Bond look?
There is an element of that, certainly to my character. I've got some pretty nice pads and I'm kind of slick in that way. I don't think it's visually, in terms of camera moves, it's not trying to recreate that. But it has an element of that. The set design is fantastic. I've only seen the sets that I've been on and they are really interesting and very '60s modern and super cool, and beautiful. I have one set that's kind of like an inner sanctum and then I also have a submarine; the inside of the sub has elements of my other set. I have my own set of style and wanted to translate it over to my board room and stuff. It's great. I love the way it looks.
Since descriptions of the movie's setting have mentioned JFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, are there any cool bits of real history that are used in the story?
The backdrop is the Cuban Missile Crisis, so it's a little earlier than the Civil Rights era. I don't think JFK is a character in the movie, but the idea of the possibility of thermonuclear war in our own backyard is there.
But there is an element of the racial tension of the times (which inspired Stan Lee in the first place)?
Yes, definitely. And also the fallout from the Holocaust is still there, which you'll remember is in the first film.
What's the coolest part of the film?
That's hard for me to say, not having seen the movie. But I think the youth of the movie, that is really exciting. You've got Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) and Zoë Kravitz (Angel) and James McAvoy (Professor Xavier) and all these young actors who are about to explode. When you see them become what we know of as the X-Men, to me, that's really cool. The visual stuff, I can't say, until I've seen the effects. But from a plot standpoint, watching the creation of that kind of elite squad and yet they're all in this college dorm room kind of atmosphere, where there's romances and drunken parties and people become friends and then they have a falling out. I think all that stuff is going to be really cool. All of these movies deliver something other than just another airplane blowing up because there's interesting stuff going on between the characters.
Why should X-Men fans who are worried about a Wolverine-less X-Men movie stop worrying?
I didn't know that X-Men fans were worrying about that.
So X-Men fans will be completely entertained, even without Wolverine?
What was the most fun part of playing this character?
I have a really newfound appreciation for those actors, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., and Hugh Jackman, that are able to work within this kind of genre with all the green screen and create great, memorable performances. It's very difficult; for me the most fun is always connecting on a scene and working with another actor to try to make that scene work. There was a scene near the end of the film between me and Michael Fassbender (Magneto) and the scene was okay, but I don't think either one of us was figuring it out. So Matthew let us spend a weekend up at his house and really figured it out from an acting standpoint, what this moment really means between these two. And that's the fun stuff. Hanging from a crane is fun too, but not as fun as actually connecting with another actor.
What are your thoughts on the 'Footloose' remake? Will you be doing a cameo?
I know the director and I think he's a really good choice. I've read the script and they've got a really good take on it, so we'll see. I wish them the best. They did talk to me about doing a cameo, but I'm not going to.
Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Oh, hell yes. You know, they tracked down my original screen test, and they're thinking about putting it on as an DVD extra. It's a strange thing for me, much weirder than seeing the movie. I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

This is my interview with Rob, a Detroit sports fan and SB Nation reader. I hope you enjoy getting an inside look at a fans perspective. Thanks for all the help, Rob!
1. So, first of all, when did you become a sports fan and why?
I think I became a sports fan because, probably, when I was 11, 12 years old I was wanting to play baseball and hockey with my friends all the time and it just kind of translated into wanting to watch sports on tv, imagining myself hitting a home run or scoring a goal!
2. What is the best sports moment you have experienced?
I would say the best sports moment I have experienced was the Red Wings ending their 42 year drought and finally winning the Stanley cup in 1997.
3. What's the WORST sports moment you've ever experienced?
I would say the worst sports experience would probably have to be the Tigers vs Twins game 163. That game had so many ups and downs, twists and turns it was a gut wrenching loss.
4. Who is your favorite athlete?
Right now I would have to say my favorite athlete is Calvin Johnson. With his size and speed and the ability to make catches when he is triple teamed he deserves every bit of the Megatron name.
5. If you could have one sports wish granted what would you wish for?
I think I would want the Lions to win a Super Bowl. Only having 1 playoff win in 50 something years is almost impossible to comprehend and I can only imagine what the celebration would be like for Lions fans everywhere if they won a Super Bowl.
6. Who do you think is the greatest Detroit athlete of all time?
There have been a lot of great Detroit athletes, from Cobb, to Kaline, to Gordie Howe, to Isiaiah Thomas and Stevie Y, but if I could only pick one it would probably have to be Barry Sanders, it was potentially breathtaking anytime he got the ball!
7. On a different note, do you think NHL players should be allowed to compete in the Winter Olympics in 2018?
I think the NHL should participate in the 2018 Olympics because it is such a great marketing tool for the league, they get the highest TV ratings when they are there, and it is almost always great hockey to watch.
8. What is your opinion on Michael Sam, the first openly gay football player, being drafted by the St. Louis Rams?
I think the fact that Michael Sam is gay should have nothing to do with his NFL career. If he is good enough to play in the NFL than good for him, if not then he should be cut. He should be treated just like any other player would be.
9. After Donald Sterling, the owner of the LA Clippers, alledgedly made racist remarks do you feel the NBA should force him to sell the team or not?
It seems pretty apparent that Donald Sterling is not a very good person and the statements he made are pretty disgusting. Should the NBA be able to force him to sell the team for things he said in a private conversation as troublesome as they were? That could be tougher than it might seem.
10. How do you think the MLB should deal with PED users and do you agree with the way the Tigers handled Jhonny Peralta last season?
I think the tigers handled the Peralta situation pretty good. He made a mistake, he paid the penalty, he seemed pretty remorseful, and they welcomed him back. Steroid users will always be treated harshly by the league, which is good, but I think maybe the league should be a little more open minded when it comes to advances in medical science and the possibility of helping players return from injuries quicker without harmful side effects.
Feel free to comment, ask questions, or give advice in the comments below. Any input is appreciated but try to keep it civil and constructive. Thanks for reading my article and thanks again to Rob for being interviewed! :)

Tipton ready for tilt with revamped Sharon Mutual
It's a rematch, not a mismatch, for the No. 1 Tipton Tigers tonight as they take on Sharon Mutual.
The Class C semifinal will kick off at 7:30 p.m. at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.
The Tigers won last year's playoff matchup, 48-30. Tipton coach Jim Kerbo said the Trojans (11-1) are different in 2012, but he expects another good game.
"They changed defensive since last year, they play a defense very similar to what we play," Kerbo said. "We'll prepare for all of it.
"It's just how we react against this big physical bunch."
Tipton (12-0) has 11 shutouts and has allowed just eight points in 12 games. Those numbers will be put to the test tonight by Sharon-Mutual quarterback Cooper Free.
Free has passed for 1,432 yards and rushed for 1,389. He has 33 rushing touchdowns and 16 more TDs with his arm. His No. 1 target is Cody Campbell (996 yards, 11 TDs).
"We have to play assignment sound and we have to tackle, not allow yards after contact," Kerbo said.
Senior linebacker Kennon White leads the Tipton defense with 72 tackles. He has 12 in each playoff game. He makes most of the defensive calls while Gerald White (47 tackles, three interceptions) makes the reads in the secondary.
"It looks like a pretty tough challenge in the semis," Kerbo said. "They are huge, 270 on both sides of the line. We've played teams pretty big, but not this big. It'll be very physical."

North Jefferson News
HUNTSVILLE — Two state champions emerged from three dozen local wrestlers who advanced to the AHSAA 2013 State Wrestling Championship.
Pinson Valley's Jonathan Duke won his gold medal in fairly easy fashion, pinning all three of his opponents. He won the Class 5A 220-lb. title by pinning Matthew Franko of Scottsboro in 61 seconds, his quickest pin of the tournament.
And in in Class 1A-4A, Fultondale's Zach Cummings won his second state championship, this one at 152 pounds. He scored a reversal in the third period to break a 4-4 tie with Dylan Bishop of Susan Moore, winning the match by a 6-4 score.
Duke's win helped push the Indians into fifth place in the overall team standings, just 1½ points behind Benjamin Russell. Fultondale finished fourth in 1A-4A, with Cummings' victory pushing his team past Weaver and Susan Moore.
Arab edged Scottsboro for the 5A championship, St. James won the blue trophy in 1A-4A, and Thompson won its third straight state team championship in 6A.
For the rest of the local contingent of wrestlers, it was a mixed bag of results.
Pinson brought nine wrestlers to the Von Braun Center, but just three made the medals platform. Patrick Tenney lost in the 106-lb. finals to place second, while Hank Turner was third at 126.
Hayden only qualified three wrestlers, but all three won medals. Hunter Flowers lost the 5A 120-lb. final in an overtime heartbreaker and settled for the silver medal. Parker Sims at 170 and Anthony Scott at 195 each placed third.
Four of Fultondale's six entrants placed. Besides Cummings, Gerald Smith was second at 138 after losing a squeaker to Chase Collins of St. James, whose third-period two-point reversal won him the gold medal. Dylan Trice was third at 106, and Dante Stanley fourth at 160.
Corner's Cody Deason, one of only two Yellow Jackets to make the trip north, lost in the 220-lb. finals when he conceded a reversal with 18 seconds left.
Mortimer Jordan failed to place a wrestler in the final bouts for the first time in at least five years. Braxton Worthington won bronze at 106, and Jacob Howse was fourth at 138.
Gardendale was also shut out of the final bouts, with heavyweight Daniel Adkins the only medalist. He took bronze with an overtime win over Darius Pryer of Carver-Montgomery.

Goldberg declined to discuss his health issue in detail.
However, according to multiple sources close to Goldberg, who all asked to remain anonymous, the broadcaster suffered from a severe upper respiratory infection in October. The already-asthmatic Goldberg was then treated with large doses of medication to open the airway and treat the infection. Goldberg's doctor later confirmed that the medication taken to treat the infection in combination with his normal asthma medication caused severe side effects that affected his ability to work, which according to the same sources, was the reason he missed UFC 155.
Goldberg is currently being treated to get his health back on track and is approaching a full recovery.

On the 4th July 2012, a lifetime's worth of work appeared to finally come to a head, cumulating in what is believed to be the discovery of the Higgs boson particle. The Higgs boson is the last of 12 proposed sub atomic particles to be found, as part of the standard model. The results were found independently by two different groups of scientists, making the results more reliable and suggesting that the experimental results are consistent. More recent results suggest there is a higher certainty that it does exist, citing 5.9 sigma levels of certainty. 5 sigma levels of certainty are needed in particle physics to class results as a discovery, so this is a great breakthrough for all those who have worked on this research.
The theory of the standard model first came about in the early 1960's, when it was discovered that there was more to the structure of atoms than first thought. The theory is able to explain many experimental results that were once confusing and inexplicable to those who found them. A boson is a particular type of sub-atomic particle proposed as part of the standard model. A boson is by definition any particle that obeys Bose-Einstein statistics, and it has no spin or electric charge.
Professor Peter Higgs, almost simultaneously with two other teams of physicists, first proposed the existence of the Higgs boson in 1964, Higgs being the only one to explicitly predict it to be a particle and to suggest what some possible properties of the particle might be. The papers published by these teams proposed how particles could acquire mass in a way that fits in with the other laws in particle physics. The existence of the Higgs boson would provide proof for the Higgs field, which is believed to be behind all the mass in the world. The detection of a bump in the energy measured in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland, that would be expected if a Higgs boson was detected, suggests that the field does indeed exist, although how it works exactly is still unclear. Despite this, the discovery as a whole means our understanding of the world at an almost unfathomable level is increasing as we begin to discover the mechanism behind some of the most fundamental processes taking place all the time. This could be possibly the most significant scientific break through in recent years.
The entirety of what this discovery will eventually bring to the field of particle physics is yet to be fully realised, but it does shows that the teams who have worked on this for 40 years were not wasting their time as it confirms their beliefs. The wide media coverage of the discovery also brings the work being conducted at the LHC to the attention of the general public, hopefully inciting interest in the field.

Over at Replacement Level Yankees Weblog, they've posted the 2012 standings based on Marcel projections, which are really "dumb" but do a surprisingly good job. Here are the American League postseason teams, assuming Commissioner Bud gets his way and each league has two Wild Cards ...
ALE: Yankees
ALC: Tigers
ALW: Angels / Rangers (tie)
WC1: Red Sox
WC2: Rays
As the author admits, he doesn't attempt to project MLB performance for anyone who hasn't played MLB baseball. Instead he assumes league-average performance. This obviously might be understating the Rangers' chances, as Yu Darvish figures to be better than league-average. The Rangers are paying for a lot more than that, anyway. Who else? Matt Moore, who did pitch in the majors very briefly, and one wonders what his 2012 projection looks like.
Of course, what's notable in those projected standings is that nothing's particularly notable. With the exception of the Angels tying the Rangers out West, this is exactly what would have happened last season if there had been two Wild Cards available. Well, except the Red Sox and Rays would have been flipped, just barely.
It's not like there's anything there to quibble with, though. You probably would have come up with essentially the same answers without running a single number, based purely what happened last summer and what's happened this winter. Of course, we know we'll be surprised somewhere. We just don't know where. It's nice to see the Royals (not pictured here) making the playoffs 17 percent of the time.
Not many surprises in the ol' Senior Circuit, either ...
NLE: Phillies
NLC: Reds
NLW: Rockies / D'backs / Giants
WC1: Braves
WC2: Rockies / D'backs / Giants
No real surprises here, either. But if you dig a little, you'll see that the Reds actually win their division by more games -- five, ahead of the second-place Cardinals -- than any other team in the majors. In no other division does the winner win more by more than two games.*
* That is, when you combine all the seasons in the simulation. We wouldn't actually expect everyone to be so bunched up, but to get reasonably close results you have to regress everything, and when you regress everything you lose most of the highs and lows. Just the nature of the beast.
I honestly don't know why the Reds would finish so far ahead of the Cardinals -- projected to win only 84 games, with the Brewers winning 81. Last season the Cards outscored their opponents by 70 runs, the Reds by only 15. The Reds have added Mat Latos and bolstered their bullpen, but the Cardinals have added Carlos Beltrán and get Adam Wainwright back, which figures to balance the loss of Albert Pujols.
I'm not saying the projection is "wrong"; I'm just saying I don't immediately understand it. But of course projecting a team's performance is about a lot more than three or four players. It's about 50 or 60. So I don't distrust something that says the Reds will be five games better than the Cardinals. Well, no more than I distrust everything else. It just makes me curious.
Anyway, this is just one set of projections. There will be others, just as rationally constructed but some of them significantly different than the above. I'll bet you somebody smart comes up with the Yankees in third place. Which could, of course, actually happen.
Strange things do happen, but of course it's hard to figure what they'll be. That's why they call them strange.
Anyway, this is all good fun in January. We'll check back a few times before Opening Day, I'm sure.

BIPO Virtuosi
The history of the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra (BIPO) starts with the Borusan Chamber Orchestra, one of the first ventures in the field of culture and the arts by Borusan Holding, a leading industrial conglomerate in Turkey. Though it began with modest numbers, the chamber orchestra was transformed into one of the leading Turkish philharmonic ensembles under its former artistic director and principal conductor Gürer Aykal. Giving its concert premiere in May 1999, BIPO has since become a prominent element of Istanbul's cultural scene.
BIPO's first season in 2000–1 took off spectacularly, with symphonies by Beethoven and followed in the seasons to come with regular season concerts as well as invitations to the Istanbul, Eskişehir, Ankara and Ruse (Bulgaria) Music Festivals. Other highlights include a concert to honour the 22nd World Architecture Congress in Istanbul, three performances in Athens of
by Iannis Xenakis, which were followed by an invitation to the Megaron Hall in Athens with works by Turkish composers, a special concert at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels within 'Turkey-Europe Week', an event organised to celebrate the first anniversary of full membership negotiations between Turkey and the European Union.
BIPO became the resident orchestra of the International Istanbul Music Festival in 2003. Since then, they have officially opened the festival every year with concerts at Hagia Eirene, also accompanying top soloists throughout the festival. Enjoying the privilege of giving world premieres of major Turkish and international works at the festival, BIPO is also the resident orchestra of the International Leyla Gencer Voice Competition. The world-class soloists BIPO has accompanied to date include stellar names such as Renée Fleming, Hilary Hahn, Lang Lang, Elina Garanca, Juan Diego Flórez, Angela Gheorghiu, Joseph Calleja, Maxim Vengerov, Fazıl Say, Martin Grubinger, Freddy Kempf, Sabine Meyer, Isabelle Faust, Branford Marsalis, Peter Jablonski, Hüseyin Sermet, Ayla Erduran, James Ehnes, John Lill, Steven Isserlis, Joanna McGregor, Natalie Clein, Olga Borodina, Alexander Melnikov, İdil Biret and the Juillard String Quartet.
With a strong commitment to fostering and advancing love and appreciation for classical music, BIPO has become the major constituent of the Borusan Culture and Arts' social responsibility project. Under the title of The Special Concert, BIPO performs under the guidance of a leading figure from the Turkish business world, whose donations provide scholarships for young talents to study at prestigious institutions.
The 2008–09 season marked a turning point in BIPO's history, when Maestro Gürer Aykal was elevated to the honorary conductor status and Viennese Sascha Goetzel was appointed artistic director and principal conductor of the orchestra. Bringing a new dimension and a new perspective to the ensemble's vision and repertoire, Goetzel officially took up the position in January 2009.
2009–10 was BIPO's season in that the orchestra released its first international CD,
Respighi, Hindemith, Schmitt
under the Onyx label to international critical acclaim and performed at the Opening Festivities of the 2010 Salzburg Festival. BIPO also received the Turkish music magazine Andante's "Best Orchestra of the Year" award in May 2010. Their second CD with Goetzel,
Music from the Machine Age
, was released in March 2012 again by Onyx.
The 2012–13 season brought the Orchestra together with world-class soloists like Viktoria Mullova, Katia & Marielle Labèque, Daniel Müller-Schott, Nadja Michael, Isabelle van Keulen and Thomas Hampson. Highlights of the 2013–2014 season will be concerts with stars like Roberto Alagna, Murray Perahia, Güher & Süher Pekinel, Valeriy Sokolov, Alexander Gavrylyuk, Nicola Benedetti, Leonard Elschenbroich, Markus Schirmer, Rudolf Buchbinder and Anna Vinnitskaya.

Live Distro Sampler
Have you gotten complaints about installing Ubuntu 7.10 from the Distro Sampler? After installing, I was unable to gain access using the name and password I had provided during the installation. I was able to get into the OS using username: "ubuntu" and password: "ubuntu," but I was prevented from doing anything as root because everything (such as installing available updates) required an administrative password. I couldn't use the name and password I had created to log into Ubuntu, much less log in as root. I tried sudo in the terminal but could not satisfy the password query. I tried two installs: one on the entire master drive, and one on the entire slave drive. I used different names and passwords, and although grub dual-booted both installs, the password problem was the same.
I am by no means an expert, but I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 previously without a hitch.
Jerry Roe
Some of our readers have pointed out problems with the Ubuntu version included on our Issue 90 "Virtual Distro Sampler" DVD.
According to reports, the Ubuntu installer does not add a user during installation or perform the required changes to /etc/sudoers. We're sorry for the problems.
If you want to install Ubuntu, the following workaround will get your user account up and running:
- Install Ubuntu and then start the Live DVD again.
- Mount the system partition using Nautilus.
Open a console and enter the following commands:
sudo su cd /media/disk/etc/ chmod 777 sudoers
Open /media/disk/etc/sudoers with an editor and add the following string:
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Save your change and type (in the console):
chmod 440 sudoers
- Shut down the Live system and reboot into the installed version:
Log in with:
Username: ubuntu Password: ubuntu
Once you are logged in, you should be able to create new users and access the system as usual.
Ubuntu Sixpack
Please provide the instruction on how to install Kubuntu to the hard disk using the August 2008 DVD.

We are trying to eat vegetarian at least one night per week. This was easy and delicious. We had on hand a precooked polenta with sundried tomatoes and garlic and sauteed it. Also were in a hurry so used an organic pasta sauce and melted the cheese on the eggplant at the end of the cook time, then assembled them on our plates. We will definitely make again and try the sauce recipe.

Kirsty Grabham's mother tell of heartache
The mother of Kirsty Grabham speaks of her heartache after her daughter's murder.
The mother of Kirsty Grabham, killed by her husband, urges people in abusive relationships to end them.
The mother of Kirsty Grabham speaks of her heartache after her daughter's murder.
Paul Grabham was found guilty of Kirsty's murder in February 2010. During the trial the court heard that they had a 'stormy' marriage. Both worked as prostitutes and were often heard arguing by neighbours.
On 28th March 2009 they were on a night out in Swansea. They had taken cocaine and were drinking. Friends heard them rowing in the nightclub. Paul left and when Kirsty arrived home at about 4am the arguments started again. He then strangled his wife and kicked her.
Paul Grabham put Kirsty's body in a suitcase and drove along the M4. Near Bridgend he dropped the suitcase over a motorway bridge into undergrowth, hoping it would lie undiscovered. But a lorry driver found the body just a week later.
Kirsty Grabham's family say that she knew her husband would kill her and that he'd been violent before.
– Kirsty Grabham's mother, Cathy Broomfield
Kirsty knew he was going to kill her. She knew. She wrote out her own funeral list, a plan of ten things. She was absolutely terrified of him. She'd written it in her diary that she wanted to leave him.
Kirsty Grabham was killed by her husband Paul over three years ago. Today her mother speaks out and urges others in abusive relationships to end them.

New Forest council tax to remain frozen for fifth year
7:10am Friday 7th February 2014 in News
RESIDENTS in the New Forest will see their council tax frozen for the fifth year in a row.
The district council's Cabinet have confirmed that they will keep council tax the same, despite decreased funding from Government.
This will mean the average band D property will pay £155.76 to New Forest District Council services per year.
The council have accepted a £117,000 grant from Government and have made a number of efficiency sav-ings in their latest budget.
Finance and Efficiency Portfolio holder Colin Wise said: "We are dealing with a number of problems, arising from the overall drop in Government funding, that had an impact on the budget for this year.
"Our careful management of this difficult scenario enables us to recommend to the council that there is no increase in council tax again this year."
The budget is set to be approved at a council meeting on February 24.

Welcome to UNSW Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC)
Vision Statement
The CCRC strives to make fundamental contributions to our understanding of the Earth's climate system and be recognised as one of the world's top research programs in physical and biophysical climate sciences.
About CCRC
UNSW CCRC is a multi-disciplinary research group comprising one of the largest university research facilities of its kind in Australia.
CCRC houses research expertise in the key areas of Earth's climate: atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial processes. We apply basic scientific principles to pressing questions on climate dynamics, global climate change, and extremes of weather and climate.
Our atmosphere research includes studies of large scale dynamics, convection, radiation, climate feedbacks, and factors controlling precipitation changes and other meteorological impacts.
Our oceanographic research focuses on the ocean's role in the climate system: including large-scale physical oceanography, coupled climate modes and regional ocean circulation, palaeoclimate dynamics, the ocean's thermohaline circulation, and global biogeochemical cycles.
On the land surface, we focus on modelling terrestrial processes in climate models, to develop our understanding of the effects of carbon dynamics, hydrology and vegetation processes on climate.
Scientists at CCRC employ a variety of research tools including global and regional models of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface, coastal domain simulations and process models. We also use a great variety of data collected from satellites, weather stations, ships, eddy-flux towers and aircraft from regions as diverse as the Great Barrier Reef, the tropics, urban surfaces, the Tasman Sea and Antarctica.
The CCRC is the lead institution in the newly formed ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, a multi-university initiative to advance fundamental climate sciences in Australia.

There are no time-travelling climatologists: why we use climate models
In the absence of time-travelling climatologists, models are unrivalled tools for understanding our changing climate system. That is, climate models are scientific tools. We should recognise them as such and consider them with rigorous scientific, not political, scepticism.

New insights into the climate of the past 2,000 years
A comprehensive new scientific study has revealed fresh insights into the climate of the past 2,000 years, providing further evidence that the 20th century warming was not a natural phenomenon. After 1900, increasing temperatures reversed a previous long-term cooling trend. This 20th Century warming has occurred simultaneously in all regions except Antarctica.
The dynamics of the global ocean circulation
The ocean is far from a stagnant body of water. Instead, it is constantly in motion, at speeds from a few centimetres per second to two metres per second in the most vigorous currents.
Leave the ocean garbage alone: we need to stop polluting first
Recent plans to clean plastics from the five massive ocean garbage patches could do more damage to the environment than leaving the plastic right where it is.
Charting the garbage patches of the sea
Just how much plastic is there floating around in our oceans? Dr Erik van Sebille from UNSW's Climate Change Research Centre has completed a study of ocean "garbage patches", and has found that in some regions the amount of plastic outweighs that of marine life.

One in five shops in town centre are vacant (From Echo)

Basildon awash with empty shops
7:00am Thursday 29th May 2014 in News Exclusive By Ian Burbidge
ALMOST a fifth of Basildon town centre shops are empty, according new figures.
The Local Data Company claims the town centre had a vacancy rate of 17.2 per cent at the end of 2013, with big name traders pulling out.
McDonald's left the town centre last year and Basildon Council also launched a failed attempt to buy a parade of town centre shops in East Walk as businesses moved.
Fears have been raised that businesses are being drawn to the outer edges of the town because rates are cheaper.
Hassan Hassan, manager of Ocean Blue fish shop, in East Walk, said: "More and more shops are seeing it is worth their while to move out of town because it is too expensive here.
"The rates cost an arm and a leg and we're seeing more and more shops closing because they can't pay their way.
"The town centre isn't brilliant and is paying for it.
"It's very difficult to survive at the moment and we're just about doing it. People are choosing not to come into the town centre."
Basildon Council's figures for business premises in the entire borough, which includes offices, warehouses and shops, as a whole show 67 more businesses have come to the town in the last year. There are 478 empty premises currently compared to 545 at the same time last year.
Hans Wustefeld, chairman of Basildon Town Centre Management, said times were "tough"
but Basildon was on the up.
He said: "It's still a very tough market out there, and some of the units are the wrong size, but we are seeing Basildon become more buoyant."
Mr Wustefeld says BTCM keeps a record of empty stores in the outer edges of the town and there are fewer vacancies – only 14 per cent – at the retail parks.
The Local Data Company claims the average vacancy rate across Britain is 13.4 per cent.
It calculates the rate by measuring how much floor space is sitting empty in any one town.
Basildon Council tried to buy the row of East Walk shops last Autumn.
It was willing to pay £6.5million, but the deal fell through.
Discount fashion chain TK Maxx spurned the opportunity to come into Basildon town centre, opting for a unit at Pipps Hills Retail Park.
But Metro Bank has got planning permission to open on the former Barclays site in the town, and hoardings have gone up around the building.
A spokesman said: "We'll be opening later this year."

This shows that the retail sector of the proposed billion pound redevelopment of the town centre needs to be smaller plus does Basildon really need multiple poundshop type outfits, haircutting establishments, pawnshops and costly coffee outlets? The space saved can then be used to build housing thereby reducing pressure on previously undeveloped greenbelt/green spaces/park land.

Although the annual Good Friday Walk was held in Beverly, some of the money raised from that event finds its way directly to Rockport and Gloucester as well.
The walk is organized in part by Rockport resident Alan Battistelli, who said his family started the Good Friday walk 34 years ago. Rockport resident Ron Roma also covered the cost of T-shirts for the participants.
Last year, 440 participants walked the 10.5 mile route and raised $68,081, with more than $16,000 directly benefiting Cape Ann nonprofits such as Action Inc. and local families.
Cemetery cleanup time on Monday
It's that time of year again, and Rockport residents are urged to catch the spring cleaning fever.
With that in mind, the Rockport Department of Public Works is hosting the annual cleaning of the cemeteries this coming Monday.
All winter baskets, decorations, wreaths and artificial flowers must be removed by that time, DPW officials said.
Students recognized
The Catherine E. Churchill Chapter of the National Honor Society at Rockport High School announced the list of students that have been accepted into the honor society.
Members from the class of 2014 include Katie Andrews, Shaun Aspesi, Katharine Boucher, Michael Carbone, Gil Clark, Madeleine Downs, Virgina Lawrence, Alexanddra Legendre, Samantha Poole and Gabriella Rodriguez.
Members from the class of 2015 include Rachel Balestraci, Kelly Biondo, Emily Dailey, Oliver Herman, Michaela Hillier, Quenton Hurst, Bridget Johnson, Sayles Kasten, Conor Kuykendall, Henery Meredith, Viola Nakkazi, Aliza Ottenheimer, Jamey Ouellte, Sophie Palmer, Nelson Pike, Soni Razdan, Jacob Rostkowski, Jared Rostkowski, Corey Silver and Jennie Yoors.
A formal induction ceremony will take place on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Shalin Liu Performance Center on 37 Main Street in Rockport.
Garden Club springs into season
The Rockport Garden Club will hold its first meeting of the year on April 1 at the Rockport Community House, 58 Broadway. Members and guests are invited to enjoy a social hour at 12 p.m. At 1:15 p.m., Maureen Bovet will make a presentation on New York garden spaces, Wave Hill, Central Park, High Line Park and Battery Park.
Authors share work
Following Rockport's history of arts and cultural events, three local authors will be reading selected works on April 14 at 4 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Society church, on 4 Cleaves Street. The authors are Reverend Susan Moran, Joe Rukeyser, and Jonathan Strong.

Eagles CB Ellis Hobbs will miss the rest of the season after a scary neck injury suffered in Sunday night's win over the Giants.
CSNPhilly.com is reporting that Hobbs, who was involved in a helmet-to-helmet hit and left the field on a stretcher on Sunday night, will be placed on injured reserve.
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday that Hobbs has a disc injury, a different disc than the one that ended his 2009 season.
Hobbs lay on the field for several minutes before leaving on a stretcher after colliding with Giants DE Dave Tollefson. He had full use of his extremities in the locker room.
The way we see it
Hobbs has a pick and four passes defensed in eight games this season, but he lost his starting job earlier this season to Dimitri Patterson, so it is not a huge loss to the defense. Hobbs was mostly contributing on special teams. Jeremy Maclin and Jorrick Calvin will be the primary kick returners.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The Lucas County Auditor's office recently published a list of delinquent property tax accounts, and the office in charge of collecting those taxes says they're making strides in getting those who are delinquent to pay up.
Out of the roughly 206,000 parcels in Lucas County, the treasurer's office says the owners of 6,911 parcels became first-time delinquents this year.
Chief Deputy Treasurer Mark Austin says a new penalty has kicked in for those who are behind on their taxes.
"People who still had unpaid balances as of December 1 got hit with a 4 percent charge, so bad things do happen to people when they don't pay their taxes," he said.
Austin says when you include taxes not paid from past years, Lucas County has roughly $50 million in outstanding accounts, but their office has collected $15 million worth of delinquent payments this year.
"That's money that doesn't go to the schools or the Metroparks or the Zoo," he said. "We have a duty to collect that. We haven't done a lien sale in a few years, but everything's on the table."
Austin says filing a tax foreclosure case in court is the last option, but it's an option their office took against 270 property owners this year.
"If you want to save court costs and the threat of losing your house, you should call our office because we do have payment plans, we do accept partial payments."
The next round of property tax bills will be sent out later this month or in early January.

Buckeye police say 44-year-old Norma Vega-Casillas was found Thursday afternoon in Phoenix. They say she's in good health and there are no signs of foul play.
She was staying with family in Buckeye on Monday and was to return home Tuesday.
But police say Vega-Casillas left the residence sometime during the night.
They say it's still unclear why she left or where she was going. Details on where Vega-Casillas was found weren't immediately available Thursday.

Editor's Note: On July 1, and became the new Superintendent of Schools at Santa Clara County's Office of Education. Here is his message.
I am honored and privileged to join the Santa Clara Office of Education and assume the role of County Superintendent of Schools.
I was strongly drawn to this leadership role by the opportunity to work closely and collaboratively with a high-performing and cohesive Board of Education; 31 dedicated superintendents throughout the county and their talented teams of educators; the skilled educators and experts on the staff of the COE; and the increasingly involved high technology sector and other private entities in the community who want to leverage innovation and resources to help eliminate the academic achievement gap.
In studying the educational climate of the region, and the work of the COE, I was attracted by the ambitious and aggressive agenda in SJ/SV 2020. If the achievement gap cannot be eliminated in the Silicon Valley of California, then it can't be eliminated—and that is something I simply refuse to believe. But it won't be easy. It will require resolve, resilience, and the reengineering of how we educate our children. It will require vision, leadership and courageous conversations aimed at the efficacy of current pedagogy and practices in our schools and in our classrooms.
In articulating a vision for the COE, it will first be critical to understand the context of the work, including the interests and the expected outcomes from the County Board of Education and from all entities supported and served.
It is important to recognize that this vision cannot be that of a single individual. A compelling vision requires a consensus of conviction and commitment—both from educators and from the community—about our expectations for our schools, and about our hopes for the future of our children.
My leadership style is collaborative and inclusive. As one who strongly believes that ongoing, two-way, communication in a climate and culture of mutual respect is vital to this work, I value and will solicit the interests, opinions and ideas of all stakeholders.
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I look forward to meeting and speaking with as many of those stakeholders as possible. We cannot succeed without the support of our community—especially the higher education, corporate and high-technology sectors, which rely on our school districts to provide a capable work force to sustain our place as a world leader, and to protect our economic prosperity.
With the dedication, commitment, expertise and unyielding resolve of team members throughout the COE and the county, we can partner with each of the 31 districts and our charter schools to ensure that all students graduate ready for college and careers.
I look forward to forming those partnerships, and to accomplishing great things together.

Sad as it is, I actually can imagine Mosley winning this fight. I hope it stops with imagination.
I know that what he did against Alvarez was close to nothing but Malignaggi is small WW and doesn't have the power to Ko someone - which is the best way of sparing the audience of yet another most boring fight of the year candidate.. Mosley has got a good chin on him anyways so I wouldn't be worried about that even against a bigger puncher. If Shane doesn't bring at least 1% of that beast he once was, we are in for a boring, shell-shocked, bro hugging performance.
Paulie's main weapons should be his jab and craftyness that he brings to the table. Footwork and good ring generalship should serve him well too. Good thing Paulie can take a punch as well.
The chances are slim for Shane, but...what IF ??!!
All bs aside, this is a terrible matchup. If a non-deserving Mosley really wins and gets a title...ima hang myself.
Your thoughts?

Shane "I need the doe" Mosley will definitely not retire if he wins. Ego and the sole fact he actually won (if he wins) will get into his head, he will think he still got it and lose the title in his next fight.

Teenager charged over death
A teenager has been charged with causing death by careless driving following a fatal road accident in the Scottish Borders on New Year's Day.
18 year old Scott Johnston, from Earlston, Berwickshire, died when the car he was a passenger in left the road and struck a tree.
The accident happened on the A697 road near Westruther, Berwickshire, at around 7pm on January 1.
Eight months after the accident and following enquiries, Lothian and Borders Police say they have now charged an 18 year old male from Lauder with causing death by careless driving.
