text: 14 Aug 2013 IT'S BLACK AND WHITE Shopping Altuzarra's fall collection and watching his short film Photography Simon Cave Words Ray Siegel There's something about Altuzarra's signature ability to merge French chicness with American utility that makes us feel right at home. His fall collection, which is available today on MyTheresa.com, is perhaps the strongest example of his France-meets-New York style. Last night at the Chelsea Arts Tower, we toasted to the launch and his new film collaboration with Simon Cave. Alongside the flock of guests wearing a mix of spring and fall Altuzarra, we stood entranced by his silent black-and-white film, which perfectly matched the crisp, gallery-like feel of venue. "When MyTheresa came to us, the concept was clear from the beginning," Joseph Altuzarra says of his second video with Cave. "We wanted to do something that had a slow motion quality to it, so that it would be a reflection of the extreme tailoring of the fall collection. The film is also very much about the black and white nature of the collection—there's a certain strictness and stark quality." Altuzarra also described an unexpected "iconic glamazonian" theme to the film, which is why he and Cave chose to elevate not only the clothes, but the models. Since the start of his collection in 2008, the Paris-born designer has often cited our editor in chief as his muse. "I've known Carine for a long time. She very much embodies a lot of the qualities of the Altuzarra girl and there's something incredibly inspiring about her," Altuzarra explains. "Not only about the way she dresses, but the way she lives her life. With her, I sense that she very much dresses for her body, her high style, and her age and she never sacrifices a certain seductiveness and sexual quality—it's never vulgar or forced. Even the way she pairs a T-shirt with a pencil skirt. She's not a girl—she's very much a woman. She wears clothes and doesn't let the clothes overpower her." Seductive without being overpowering is a perfect way to describe the pieces that we've been waiting to buy since last February.

A McGavock High School junior is leading a campaign to collect 4,000 bottles of water for band members to have during summer band camp next week. McGavock High School drum major Elise Taylor is leading the campaign to collect bottled water for her fellow band members to drink during meal times next week when band camp starts. The band must have enough water on hand for every one of the more 135 band members to each have two bottles of water per meal. The band is served two meals a day during the band camp that runs from Sunday until Thursday. "Just having a water bottle helps you because it's easier access than having to go all the way up the hill and get some water," she said. The band would also like to have more bottled water to use throughout the regular marching season for rehearsals and travel, especially in the summer and early Fall when temperatures are still high. "It is so much better if you can have a frozen water bottle with you that you can keep cold on your neck and then you can crunch it up and drink it," Taylor said. The percussion section is outside rehearsing more than other sections of the band. Center snare drummer Sophia Campbell said without water the band members begin to quickly feel the effects of the heat. "It kind of weakens us and it drags us on a lot," she said. "It's good to have a lot of breaks, if we don't, it can ruin our mental capacity and all that."A number of Donelson area businesses and churches have contributed several cases of water and others have pledged cases for the band. GreenLight Local is a community based group that encourages supporting businesses and organizations in the Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory and Mt. Juliet. The group posted the band's need for water on its Facebook page. That led to several individuals stopping by the McGavock Band Hall Wednesday with bottles of water. "We reached about 6,000 people and the post was shared about 58 times, which is massive," Kevin Barnett, with GreenLight Local said. "We believe in supporting the community through coming together where you live work and play."Willetta Williams, a 2000 graduate of McGavock High School and former band member, stopped by to donate two cases of water. "I know how that feels like because they are just waiting on that break for the Gatorade and the water," she said. "Oh, I know what this is like spending many hours on the pavement."The band members are grateful for the water donations."The McGavock band has a long tradition in the community and it's great to see the community supporting us in this way," Head Band Director David Hazlett said. Taylor said, "The band as a whole we are beyond appreciative of everybody."Water donations can be made at the McGavock High School Band Hall located at 3150 McGavock Pike, Nashville TN.Band members said the band hall is located next to the semi trailer with McGavock High School Band written on the side. The band asks that donations be limited to water or Gatorade. The band is not serving sodas to students anymore.

Their quest begins today at Oakman High School.
The two-day, double-elimination tournament begins at 10 a.m. today.
Curry, the No. 1 seed, and Cordova, the No. 2 seed, receive first-round byes.
"Our seniors really want to go out with three in a row. They are focusing on this one," Curry coach Annah Cagle said.
Seniors on this year's Curry team are: Ella Banks, Logan Black, Katie Justice, Holli McGinnis, Jordan McPherson, Shannan Rowe and Shauna Rowe.
Half of the six-team field in the tournament is ranked.
Curry (33-6) holds down the No. 1 spot in Class 5A, Cordova (23-12-1) is No. 6 in Class 3A and Oakman (16-13) is No. 9 in Class 2A. Carbon Hill (18-11-1) is one slot out of the rankings in Class 4A.
"(The county tournament) is always up in the air. It seems like Cordova and Carbon Hill always play well. Last year, Parrish was a really good team," Cagle said.
Carbon Hill, who won the 2011 county title, is the No. 3 seed followed by (4) Oakman, (5) Dora and (6) Parrish. Two teams will be eliminated on Friday.
Oakman battles Dora in the opening game at 10 a.m.
The second game pits Carbon Hill vs. Parrish.
The top two seeds are in action starting at 2 p.m. with Curry taking on the Oakman-Dora winner. Cordova opens against the Carbon Hill-Parrish winner at 4 p.m.
Elimination games will be held at 6 and 8 p.m.
Saturday's games start at 11 a.m. with the winner's bracket final.
Loser's bracket games follow at 1 and 3 p.m. with the championship game set for 5 p.m.
Curry, which defeated Parrish in last year's final, enters the game coming off a rare loss.
The Yellow Jackets (33-6) lost to No. 2 Hayden 4-1 on Wednesday.
Cagle said Curry, which finished third in the Class 5A state tournament last year, has room for improvement.
"I don't think we've peaked yet. We've got a lot to work on," she said.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Bronson Arroyo carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning, while the Reds' offense bombed the Giants for nine runs to win Game Two of the National League Division Series at AT&T Park, 9-0. Cincinnati now leads the series against San Francisco, 2-0.
After inducing three fly-outs in the first inning, Madison Bumgarner was touched for a solo home run by Ryan Ludwick in the top of the second. The Reds tacked on three more runs in the fourth inning off singles by Scott Rolen and Ryan Hanigan, bringing the score to 4-0. Bumgarner was chased out after 4⅓ innings, giving up seven hits and striking out four along the way.
Arroyo, meanwhile, mowed down 14 consecutive batters before Brandon Belt lined a single to center field. However, it was the only hit the righty would allow in seven innings of work, and one of only two the Giants would earn in the game.
Cincinnati put the game out of reach in the eighth inning. Jay Bruce lined a two-RBI double off Jose Mijares to give the Reds a six-run lead, and he would come around to score later in the inning on Hanigan's single to center field off Guillermo Mota. Drew Stubbs drove a triple to center, plating Hanigan, then scored on Brandon Phillips' double. When the bloodbath was over, Cincinnati held a 9-0 lead, and while San Francisco put a pair of runners on in the ninth, neither scored.

I can install a simple hello world app on my phone. I'm not sure why this OpenGL ES example doesn't work.

I did try getting a protected UID from the signedSymbian site and I still get the same error when I try to install the sis file.
Is there a utility that queries what capabilities an app needs? Anyone have any ideas on why I can't install the OpenGL ES app on my phone?

The Deer Park girls basketball team unleashed a strong defense and uncanny free throw shooting to defeat rival Riverside 62-48 on Dec. 13.
The Lady Stags rushed out to a 13-4 lead in the opening quarter, thanks, in part, to Tessa Heins work on the free throw line. The senior guard hit 9 of 10 free throws in the first eight minutes of the game.
The Lady Rams were held to one basket, a short jumper by Marisa Pace, in the games first 10 minutes. Riverside's leading scorer, Courtney Davis, hampered by early foul trouble, cut the Deer Park lead to 16-6 early in the second quarter. The Lady Stags responded with a 10-2 run, fueled by a basket and three-pointer from Danielle Beltrame.
Deer Park blew the game wide open in the third quarter. A pair of steals by Alison Ruygrok led to four quick points boosted the Lady Stag lead to 53-31 late in the quarter.
The Lady Rams got their offense untracked in the second half, but could not make a serious dent into the Lady Stag lead
Deer Park head coach Kevin Oglesbee was especially pleased by Heins' defensive effort on Davis.
"We challenged her," he said. "She took that as a leadership role.
Heins finished with a game high 25 points, including 14 of 16 from the free throw line. Beltrame added 14 points and Ruygrok finished with 10.
Deer Park finished 22-26 from the charity stripe as a team
Davis, who was held to 2 points in the first half, finished with 14 points.

Those who journey to Morocco should make a stop in the exotic and vibrant city of Marrakech. This gorgeous destination will surely provide a memorable experience on a girl's getaway to a new and thrilling location.
The first place travelers should visit in the Ben Youssef Medersa, which used to be the site of a boarding school in the 16th century. Nowadays, according to Frommer's, this complex is intricately detailed, down to the columned arcades in the striking courtyard area.
A visit to the marketplace is oftentimes a memorable adventure in Marrakech, reports World Travel Guide. The winding "souks," or narrow streets, are packed with colorful vendors and stalls holding items such as spices, slippers and leather products. Experts say travelers should explore on their own and not fall into a trap of guides pushing certain products.
Travelers who want to enjoy the wonders of Marrakech should be cautious with where they keep their belongings. Valuables in general may want to be left at home, as sometimes items may be taken from backpack, purses or hotel rooms if travelers are not careful.

The fascinating true story about the birth of Respawn, and how Zampella and West left Activision
This story has been going around for a while now in some form, but Vanity Fair does a great job of laying everything out and providing more details. It's hard to say if there's a good guy and a bad guy here, both sides seem like they acted like children at different times, but it's amazing to me that things got this bad around a franchise that continues to make so much money. Was there really not enough for everyone?
This is a great look behind the business of blockbuster games, and how it often treats people like commodities. On the other hand, it could be a story about how two men knew when to leverage their position for great personal gain. Either way you look at it, this is one of the more intense stories in modern gaming, and it's worth reading.

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is officially listed as questionable on the Patriots injury report, but he is expected to play against the New York Giants. Hernandez was limited all week in Patriots practice with his knee, which has kept him questionable for a few weeks, but he has continued to play each week. His overall numbers are down in 2011, but even with his knee injury he's still a threat in the redzone with 4 touchdowns already this season.
If Hernandez is out or limited, expect Rob Gronkowski to get even more looks than he already gets, especially in the redzone. Gronkowski is a huge target and a mismatch in the redzone, just like Aaron Hernandez. The Patriots like to have both on the field.

Smith's late strike seals Ledbury draw
11:30am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in Rugby
BEN Smith's late penalty earned fourth-placed Ledbury two points from a 20-20 Midlands Three West (South) draw at Southam.
The Ross Road outfit returned to action after a fourweek break due to the holidays and bad weather but were left with mixed feelings against the mid-table Warwickshire hosts.
Injuries and unavailabilities meant a reshuffling of Ledbury personnel and positions but the players stepped up to fully justify their selection.
Ledbury started well with their young team seeking to maintain the pressure on the three sides who are above them.
Tries from wingers Ali Martin and Matt Hallett, both converted by full-back Smith, saw the Herefordshire visitors establish a healthy lead.
A further penalty by Smith left Ledbury 17-3 in front at half-time with hopes of a bonus-point win.
But a string of decisions went against them in the second period and the issue of two yellow cards enabled Southam to gradually claw their way back into the game.
The hosts took the lead with two converted tries and two penalties but Ledbury fought to register a draw when Smith put over a penalty with five minutes left. Ledbury are just two points behind Coventry outfit Old Wheatleyans in second position.
- Upton's home game with Evesham was postponed.

Sherman Joseph Alexie, Jr. (born October 7, 1966) is a poet, writer, and filmmaker. Much of his writing draws on his experiences as a Native American with ancestry of several tribes, growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. He currently lives in Seattle, Washington.[1]
Some of his best known works are The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993), a book of short stories, and Smoke Signals (1998), a film of his screenplay based on that collection.
His first novel, Reservation Blues, received one of the fifteen 1996 American Book Awards.[2] His first young adult novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (2007), is a semi-autobiographical novel that won the 2007 U.S. National Book Award for Young People's Literature[3] and the Odyssey Award as best 2008 audiobook for young people (read by Alexie).[4] His 2009 collection of short stories and poems, War Dances, won the 2010 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.[5]
Sherman Alexie was born on October 7, 1966[6] on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, Washington, where he spent his childhood. One of his paternal great-grandfathers was of Russian descent.[7] His father, Sherman Joseph Alexie, was of Coeur d'Alene descent and his mother, Lillian Agnes Cox, of Colville, Flathead, Spokane and Euroamerican descent.[8] Sherman was born with hydrocephalus, a condition that occurs when there is an abnormally large amount of cerebral fluid in the cranial cavity.[9] Alexie had to have brain surgery when he was six months old. He was not expected to survive, or, if he did so, was expected to suffer mental disabilities.[8] However, Alexie's surgery was successful and he survived with no damage to his mental faculties.[9]
His father was an alcoholic who often left the house for days at a time. To support her six children, Alexie's mother Lillian sewed quilts and worked as a clerk at the Wellpinit Trading Post.[9]
Alexie has described his life at the reservation school as challenging because he was constantly teased by other kids. He was nicknamed "The Globe" because his head was larger than usual due to the hydrocephalus as an infant. Until the age of seven, Alexie suffered from seizures and bedwetting and had to take strong drugs to control them.[9][10] Because of his health problems, he was excluded from many of the activities that are rites of passage for young Indian males.[10] Alexie excelled academically, reading everything available to him, including auto repair manuals.[11]
In order to better his education, Alexie decided to leave the reservation and attend high school in Reardan.[9] The school was thirty miles off the reservation and Alexie was the only student of Native heritage.[10] He excelled at his studies and also became a star player on the basketball team, the Reardan High Indians.[9] He was elected as class president and participated as a member of the debate team.[9]
His successes in high school won him a scholarship in 1985 to Gonzaga University, a Roman Catholic school in Spokane.[9][10] Originally Alexie enrolled in the pre-med program at Gonzaga with hopes of becoming a doctor,[10] but found he was squeamish during dissection in his anatomy classes.[10] After an unsuccessful try at medicine, Alexie switched to law, but that didn't work out either.[10] He felt enormous pressure to succeed in college and he began drinking heavily to cope with his anxiety.[12] Though he was not happy with his choice of career path, Alexie found comfort in literature classes.[10] In 1987 he dropped out of Gonzaga and enrolled at Washington State University (WSU).[10]
There he enrolled in a creative writing course taught by Alex Kuo, a respected poet of Chinese-American background. Alexie was at a low point in his life and Kuo served as a mentor to him.[8] Kuo gave Alexie an anthology entitled, Songs of This Earth on Turtle's Back, by Joseph Bruchac, which is a book that changed his life; he said that it taught him "how to connect to non-Native literature in a new way." [8][10][13] He was inspired by reading works of poetry written by Native Americans.[8]
With his new appreciation of poetry, Alexie started work on his first collection, The Business of Fancydancing: Stories and Poems, which was published in 1992 through Hanging Loose Press.[8][14] With the success of his first book of poetry, Alexie stopped drinking and quit school just three credits short of a degree. In 1995 he was awarded a bachelor's degree from Washington State University.[10]
In 2005, Alexie became a founding Board Member of Longhouse Media, a non-profit organization that is committed to teaching filmmaking skills to Native American youth, and to use media for cultural expression and social change. Alexie has long supported youth programs and initiatives dedicated to supporting at-risk Native youth.[15]
Alexie is married to Diane Tomhave, who is of Hidatsa, Ho-Chunk and Potawatomi heritage. They live in Seattle with their two sons.[14]
Literary works[edit]
Alexie's stories have been included in several short story anthologies, including The Best American Short Stories 2004, edited by Lorrie Moore; and Pushcart Prize XXIX of the Small Presses. Additionally, a number of his pieces have been published in various literary magazines and journals, as well as online publications.
Alexie's poetry, short stories and novels explore themes of despair, poverty, violence and alcoholism among the lives of Native American people, both on and off the reservation, but lightened by wit and humor.[12] According to Sarah A. Quirk from the Dictionary of Library Biography, Alexie asks three questions across all of his works: "What does it mean to live as an Indian in this time? What does it mean to be an Indian man? Finally, what does it mean to live on an Indian reservation?"[8] The protagonists in most of his literary works exhibit a constant struggle with themselves and their own sense of powerlessness in white American society.[12]
Alexie's writings are meant to evoke sadness, but at the same time he uses humor and pop culture that leaves the readers with a sense of respect, understanding, and compassion.[12] Alexie's influences for his literary works do not rely solely on traditional Indian forms. He "blends elements of popular culture, Indian spirituality, and the drudgery of poverty-ridden reservation life to create his characters and the world they inhabit," according to Quirk.[8] Alexie's work is laced with often startling humor. According to Quirk, he does this as a
"means of cultural survival for American Indians-survival in the face of the larger American culture's stereotypes of American Indians and their concomitant distillation of individual tribal characteristics into one pan-Indian consciousness."[8]
Within a year of graduating from college, Alexie received the Washington State Arts Commission Poetry Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship.[16] His career began with the publishing of his first two collections of poetry in 1992, entitled, I Would Steal Horses and The Business of Fancydancing.[8] In these poems, Alexie uses humor to express the struggles of contemporary Indians on reservations. Common themes include: alcoholism, poverty and racism.[8] Although he uses humor to express his feelings, the underlying message is very somber and serious.
The Business of Fancydancing was well received, selling over 10,000 copies.[10] Alexie refers to his writing as "fancydancing," the name given to the changes made to the traditional dances by Native American veterans from World War II.[11] To him, it is the mental, emotional, and spiritual outlet that he finds in his writings.[12] Leslie Ullman commented on The Business of Fancydancing in the Kenyon Review, writing that Alexie
"weaves a curiously soft-blended tapestry of humor, humility, pride and metaphysical provocation out of the hard realities...: the tin-shack lives, the alcohol dreams, the bad luck and burlesque disasters, and the self-destructive courage of his characters."[12]
Alexie's other collections of poetry include:
- Old Shirts and New Skins (1993)[12]
- First Indian on the Moon (1993)[12]
- Seven Mourning Songs For the Cedar Flute I Have Yet to Learn to Play (1994)[12]
- Water Flowing Home (1996)[12]
- The Summer of Black Widows (1996)[12]
- The Man Who Loves Salmon (1998)[12]
- One Stick Song (2000)[12]
- Face (2009), Hanging Loose Press (April 15, 2009) hardcover, 160 pages, ISBN 978-1-931236-71-3 [12]
Short stories[edit]
Alexie published his first prose work, entitled The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, in 1993.[8] The book consists of a series of short stories that are interconnected. Several prominent characters are explored, and they have been featured in later works by Alexie. According to Sarah A. Quirk, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven can be considered a bildungsroman with dual protagonists, "Victor Joseph and Thomas Builds-the-Fire, moving from relative innocence to a mature level on experience."[8]
Ten Little Indians is a collection of "nine extraordinary short stories set in and around the Seattle area, featuring Spokane Indians from all walks of urban life," according to Christine C. Menefee of the School Library Journal.[12] In this collection, Alexie "challenges stereotypes that whites have of Native Americans and at the same time shows the Native American characters coming to terms with their own identities."[12]
War Dances is a collection of short stories, poems, and short works. It won the 2010 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. The collection, however, received mixed reviews.[12]
Other short stories by Alexie include:
- The Toughest Indian in the World (2000) (collection of short stories)[17]
- "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" (2003), published in The New Yorker[1]
- Blasphemy: New and Selected Stories (2012)[18]
- "Because My Father Always Said He Was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play 'The Star−Spangled Banner' at Woodstock"
In his first novel, Reservation Blues (1995), Alexie expanded some of the characters of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, exploring them later in life. He features the characters Thomas Builds-the-Fire, Victor Joseph, and Junior Polatkin who have grown up on the Spokane Indian reservation. the short story collection, they were in their teens, but Reservation Blues explores their lives as men in their thirties.[19] Verlyn Klinkenborg of the Los Angeles Times wrote in a 1995 review of Reservation Blues: "you can feel Alexie's purposely divided attention, his alertness to a divided audience, Native American and Anglo."[19] Klinkenborg says that Alexie is "willing to risk didacticism whenever he stops to explain the particulars of the Spokane and, more broadly, the Native American experience to his readers."[19]
Indian Killer (1996) was set among Native American adults in Seattle, where they suffered from being down and out.
Alexie's young adult novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (2007) is a coming-of-age story that began as a memoir of his life and family on the Spokane Indian reservation.[12] The novel focuses on a fourteen-year-old Indian named Arnold Spirit. The novel is semi-autobiographical, including many events and elements of Alexie's life.[12] For example, Arnold was born with hydrocephalus, and was teased a lot as a child. Also, the story portrays events after Arnold's transfer to Reardan High School, which Alexie had attended.[12] The novel received great reviews. Bruce Barcott from the New York Times Book Review observed, "Working in the voice of a 14-year-old forces Alexie to strip everything down to action and emotion, so that reading becomes more like listening to your smart, funny best friend recount his day while waiting after school for a ride home."[12]
Other novels by Sherman Alexie include:
- Indian Killer (1996)[12]
- Flight (2007)[12]
In 1998 Alexie broke barriers by creating the first all-Indian movie, Smoke Signals.[12] Alexie based the screenplay on his collection of short stories The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.[12] The film was directed by Chris Eyre, a filmmaker of Cheyenne-Arapaho heritage and it was produced and acted by Native Americans.[10] It tells the story of two young Native Americans, Victor Joseph and Thomas Builds-the-Fire, who leave the reservation on a road trip to retrieve the body of Victor's dead father.[12] The film took top honors at the Sundance Film Festival.[12] The film received an 86% and "fresh" rating from the online film database Rotten Tomatoes.[20]
Other film projects include:
- The Business of Fancydancing (writer and director, 2002)
- 49? (writer, 2003)
- The Exiles (presenter, 2008)
- Sonicsgate (participant, 2009)

Former NBA Star Mark West to Speak at ODU Today
The M.B.A. program in Old Dominion University's College of Business and Public Administration will host ODU graduate Mark West for a discussion of ethics, education and life in the National Basketball Association at 12:20 p.m. Thursday, April 10. West, who graduated in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in finance, is the assistant general manager and vice president of player programs for the Phoenix Suns and a former NBA player.
His talk, which is free and open to the public, will be in room 1002 of Constant Hall. Pizza and beverages will be provided during the presentation.
West's career spanned 17 years in the NBA with several teams. He came to the Suns with Kevin Johnson in a trade with Cleveland in 1988. In addition to his eight-year tenure with Phoenix, he played for Dallas, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit and Indiana.
In his current role with the Suns, West carries out a range of duties focusing on the business of basketball, player relations and development and community representation. He also serves as the team liaison for the NBA Player Development Program administered by the league.
A licensed stockbroker since 1992, West led the NBA in field goal shooting percentage in 1989-90 (.625) and currently ranks second in that category in NBA history (.580), trailing only Artis Gilmore's .599 rate.

Daily News
---- — Battling the wind and rain Wednesday in Mattoon, the Effingham girls track team delivered a second-place showing among a stable of conference competitors. The Lady Hearts finished with 126 points on the afternoon, just barely falling short of the host team at the Mattoon Invitational. The Green Wave ended its day with 142 points for the victory on senior night.Despite the narrow loss, interim coach Norene Ault was thrilled with her squad's performance."This was kind of a preview for most of our conference teams," she said. "I was very pleased with our showing today."The highlights included a 2-3 finish in the 400, with Shayna Phillips coming in second and Claire Niebrugge close behind."Those two girls put in their best two times of the year," Ault said.Effingham also had a solid showing in the relays, excelling in both the 4x200 and 4x400."They ran awesome races," Ault said. "All of the girls had probably their best combined times today."In the field, Jantzen Michael continued Effingham's steady showing with her effort in the discus. Throwing against a tough wind, Michael braved the uncooperative weather."She threw really well for the conditions, she threw a good distance," Ault said.Though the Lady Hearts were edged out of first place, Ault said there were plenty of positives from the meet, especially against a number of competitors they will likely see again."This is what we are looking at for our conference," Ault said. "With Mattoon, Charleston, Mount Zion, it was a preview."No distances or times were made available to the coaches following the meet, nor were they sent to the Daily News by press time. The meet was delayed nearly an hour for weather-related conditions.

Town Square
Weakly's "source" was dead wrong
Original post made by Paul K on Apr 26, 2007
1. If the allegations made by her co-workers are true, she should have been fired a long time ago but hasn't because it's difficult if not impossible to fire a government employee. I guess Frank Benest recognizes this since he did everything he could to get her fired, and when eh realized it wasn't going to work, began praising her to make the best out of a bad situation.
2. You can't trust the Weakly, particularly when it cites unidentified sources in a story. Go back to the Weakly's April 6th story <Web Link> and look at all the things that were wrong in that report.
On April 4th, Weakly said Gary Baum launched the Harrison investigation. Now we learn it was actually Frank Benest who launched it.
On April 4th, the Weakly said the allegations were made by a "mid-level staffer." Now we learn it was Benest, a top-level staffer, who made the allegations about how she treated others and him.
The April 4th story sugar-coated the allegations against Harrison, suggesting that the source knew the allegations were much worse and used the Weakly to try and put out the fire. Nothing in that original report discussed her alleged harassment of people based on their political or religious beliefs, her rolling of her eyes, her insubordination, etc.
Did Jay and the Weakly get "used" by their source, or were they trying to help the city with a cover-up?
The original story contains many other inaccuracies which would have never been revealed to the public had the report remained secret. Thank goodness the Daily filed a request to obtain the documents! (The Weakly jumped in and filed its request for the report only after the Daily did so first.)
Since this "source" gave the Weakly bad information, the Weakly should declare that it's promise is anonymity is off and reveal the liar.
It's funny how newspapers always demand transparency from other institutions in society, but when the tables are turned, they cover everything up and ignore their critics.
on Apr 26, 2007 at 11:05 am
My guess is that the source is Emily Harrison.
on Apr 26, 2007 at 11:45 am
The Weekly should correct such errors and explain how they happened. But I'm not holding my breath.

Hi --
In response to Paul K's "Palo Alto Weakly" posting (a rather tired and petty-insult play on words, I thought), I will provide some background and thoughts, with advance apologies for the length.
1) The Weekly is neither "out to get" Harrison, as some have alleged, or trying to "sugar-coat" or support a "cover-up" of some sort. Our goal is simply to find out what is happening on a story of significant public interest and importance and report it as quickly, accurately and in depth as possible so readers can reach their own conclusions (and then debate them on Town Square).
2) No responsible journalist I know enjoys writing stories based on anonymous sources. In this case, we spent several hours talking with fearful and reluctant persons knowledgeable about the situation to get what was going on, who was involved and how long the alleged behavior had been going on. Sometimes it's a case in which it's a choice between the public getting no information at all about an important situation or having to rely on (trust?) a journalist (such as the late David Halberstam) to find out what's truly happening from trusted (and verified) sources and report that.
We developed significant information, but chose not to publish some of it until we could get at least a "second source" (or third) to confirm it. This is standard journalistic practice. But even trusted and well-meaning sources (anonymous or quoted by name) can sometimes be wrong about details, and this was the case about who initiated the investigation that led to the suspension of Harrison.
We used the term "reportedly," thus clearly indicating to the reader that we are passing on information. When we learned of the error, we corrected it online and in print at the earliest opportunity.
2) The initial story actually was posted March 27, not April 4, and quoted Harrison, reached at her home on a Sunday. The story reported the suspension, and that it was "due to a run-in several months ago with an unidentified staff member." The sources were Harrison, not an unidentified source, and Phil Plymale, head of the Service Employees International Uniion chapter representing city employees -- who told us he didn't think a union person was involved, hence "mid-level" in a later story. We quoted accurately what Plymale said about Harrison.
On April 6 (not April 4, according to our records) we posted a story disclosing that a formal investigation led to the suspension and that "Sources indicate that the grievance was filed by a mid-level staff member, but no time frame has been established as to any specific incident or situation on which the grievance was based." There is a difference between who filed the original "grievance" and who "initiated the investigation" -- it was in fact a mid-level (i.e. "non-union") staff member who filed the grievance, as the sources indicated. "Allegations" is a general, vague term -- and many people have made them in this story. It could apply to either or both the person who filed the grievance and Benest.
At the time we were pretty sure the person filing the grievance worked on the seventh floor but did not report that because we wanted to get additional confirmation. We also learned (not easily) that the investigation uncovered a multi-year pattern of behavior with certain individuals, but needed further confirmation of that as well.
City Attorney Gary Baum at that time would "neither confirm nor deny" that an investigation had occurred.
3) The Weekly filed a Public Records Act request as soon as a letter could be prepared and delivered. The letter was dated March 29 and received by the city attorney's office April 2. We only learned days or a week later that the Daily News had filed a request of its own. We have reported on both requests, but I haven't seen a reference to the Weekly's request in the Daily News' articles for some reason. I do not know who filed first, and question the relevancy of that anyway.
I would be pleased to discuss this matter further if Paul K. desires a real dialogue about standard responsible-journalism practices and the Weekly's intent in this complex, challenging and rather saddening story.

WICOMICO CO., Md. - For the adventurous, the all-terrain vehicle is a recreational machine. But for some, it's also a target.
"I don't think that it's people setting out to do burglary, it's they're setting out to acquire an ATV, but they are doing burglary to do it," said Sgt. David Owens of WBI.
In the most recent statistics provided to WMDT, last year, 25 percent of vehicle thefts on the Eastern Shore were in Wicomico County. Vehicle thefts are made up of any motor vehicle including cars, ATVs and motorcycles. The total vehicle thefts for 2012 were 108.
According to Owens, most victims of ATV thefts are unaware they could be targeted.
"They might not even know it right away," said Owens.
Bud Horner, owner of Horner Honda agrees and says "if [the ATV is in the] back in a shed or barn they might not see it as often."
Besides adding a surveillance camera system, there are other ways to protecting yourself, according to Owens.
First, lock up your storage area, but also lock down the vehicle itself. Second, check in. If you only off-road once in awhile and your ATV is stored in an outdoor shed, don't wait until you want to ride to see if you still have your $1,000-plus toy. Third, record your vehicle identification number.
In Maryland, the state issues permits, keeping a record of that number to make it easier to recover the vehicle if stolen.
"Taking the opportunity to secure them again and a facility to secure them properly is the only way to do it," said Owens.
If the criminal is fond, state's attorney Matt Maciarello says they won't go unpunished. According to Maciarello, charges vary on each crime, depending on the severity of the theft, past criminal history and cost of the vehicle.
A theft over $100,000 is a felony in Maryland and the person could be looking at a maximum sentence of 25 years. A theft under $100,000 but more than $10,000 is still a felony and the thief could face up to 15 years of jail time. If the ATV is worth more than $1,000 but less than $10,000, the convicted felon could be in jail for 10 years.
But those aren't the only charges. Maciarello says if the ATV was in a garage attached to a home, it's consider a felony and burglary in theft 1st degree. If the vehicle was in a shed, it's a felony burglary in the 2nd degree. The maximum sentences are 20 and 15 years, respectively.

'Willem de Kooning: Ten Paintings, 1983–1985′ at Gagosian Gallery
Whatever Larry Gagosian is paying former MoMA Chief Curator John Elderfield to consult for him, it is not enough. The second show that Mr. Elderfield has organized for Gagosian is another tour de force. In his 2011 Willem de Kooning (1904–97) retrospective, Mr. Elderfield included a handful of the artist's paintings from the first half of the 1980s. This 10-painting show at Gagosian expands the story of that late period, and for anyone who wasn't around to see the works when they were first shown at the Fourcade Gallery, it is a revelation.

Closed Captioned Required!
This petition is directed toward all US citizens. A few years ago, a law was made to make all tvs closed captioned. That was a good law, but what is the use when so many programs aren\'t closed captioned. Why not make the closed captioning of all programs on all stations a law Those that don\'t want to read the captions can just turn on the captioning on their tv, so it wouldn\'t get in anyone\'s way. It would have many benefits: help those learning to read, help those learning to speed read, help the elderly understand the programs, perhaps improve the reading level of various people, etc..

LAKE WYLIE — It began looking a lot like Christmas on Friday in River Hills, where local Lions brought in their annual haul of greenery to help raise money for charity.
"The location for our lot is the same as it has been," said Bob Daily with the River Hills Lions Club. "We're getting in 250 trees and 125 wreaths and garland, the same as previous years."
Each year the club sells Christmas greenery from a lot just in front of the River Hills main gate, on Camp Thunderbird property. Money raised goes to a variety of local and some national charities through the club. Volunteers unloaded the trees Friday morning for sale 10 a.m. to dark every day through Dec. 15, except Thanksgiving. Father Christmas sightings, courtesy of Lion Frank Van Leer, will be sprinkled in, too.
About 30 Lions showed up close to 8 a.m. Friday and began propping and tying trees to stands. Trees start at $35 but run up to more than $100 for the largest ones. Wreaths run $15-$30. Lion Lee Keller said sales for charity are a great reason why he got the early start Friday, but not the only reason.
"It's a lot of fun," he said of standing trees with fellow Lions. "It's a camaraderie."
Father Christmas also will be the featured guest at the Dec. 14 pancake breakfast, again put on by the club with proceeds going to charity. In addition to breakfast and pictures with Father Christmas, the event includes pony rides, jump houses, and face painting. The pancake breakfast runs 8-11:30 a.m. at the Camp Thunderbird dining hall.
Tickets to the pancake breakfast are $10 for children, which includes all events, and $5 for adults. For tickets or more information, call 803-831-1789.

Flashdance — The Musical, based on the film about a female steelworker who dreams of legit dance while moonlighting as an exotic dancer, began Jan. 1 in Pittsburgh, PA (where the action is set). It continues to tour the U.S.
A separate company had been announced to open on Broadway in August. The recent announcement marks the third delay in the production's journey to New York.
Last summer, producers scuttled a pre-Broadway Toronto engagement of the musiucal. The show was expected to move to Broadway following a five-week August 2012 engagement in Ontario, although Broadway dates had not been officially announced.
The New York Times first reported news of the delay.
The national tour of Flashdance is produced by NETworks Presentations LLC, Steven Baruch, Tom Viertel, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, Christopher Malcolm, David Ian Productions and Transamerica.
The U.S. production marks the world premiere of a new stage adaptation of the hit 1983 film, revised since its London stage premiere in 2010. It reflects rewrites and new creative team since the title's stage premiere in London. The tour is currently booking engagements through May 2014.
Director-choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, Memphis, The Addams Family) stages the new work. Flashdance features a score including the hit songs from the movie, all of which became Top Ten hits on the radio around the world including the Academy Award-winning title song ("Flashdance – What a Feeling," "Maniac," "Gloria," "Manhunt," "I Love Rock & Roll"), plus 16 new songs written for the stage (music by Robbie Roth and lyrics by Robert Cary and Roth).
The book is by Robert Cary and Tom Hedley (co-writer of the original screenplay with Joe Eszterhas).
"With electrifying dance at its core, Flashdance — The Musical tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel mill welder by day and a bar dancer by night with dreams of one day becoming a professional performer," according to the producers. "When romance with her steel mill boss threatens to complicate her ambitions, Alex learns the meaning of love and its power to fuel the pursuit of her dream."

Devil's Head is a relatively new granite climbing area with perhaps the highest concentration of three star routes anywhere in the Front Range. While lying in the South Platte, Devil's Head granite presents a super fine-grain textured granite that only rarely reveals the typical South Platte crystalline matrix. The rock is remarkably featured with roofs, cracks, edges, and flakes that, unlike most of the South Platte, offer up tremendous amounts of excellent, exciting face climbing. Devil's Head climbing occurs largely on the South and East-facing slopes of Devil's Head mountain, and the climber could not ask for a more serene place to climb. The crags face South, West, or East and overlook Pike's Peak with all the rest of the Rampart Range hills spread out in unbroken splendor as far as the eye can see. The area possesses over 400 routes with the balance of new route activity devoted to bolt-protected sport climbing, although nearly 20 of the routes are superb granite crack climbs on bomber trad gear. While the emphasis in climbing is largely on the upper 5.11 and 5.12 range, difficulty pretty much spans the gamut, and it is a good bet that some under-rated 5.13 lies on the hill as well. Development of new routes started nearly 8 years ago spearheaded by the relentless energy of Tod Anderson, author of the area's guidebook, "The Devil Made Me Do It". The roster of first ascentionists that Tod dragged up the hill includes (in no particular order) Tom Hanson, Scott Sills, Rich Magill, Richard Wright, Alan Nelson, Mike Lane, Janice Harnak, Ernie Moskovitz (Ziggy), Frank (Tripp) Collins, Martin Birch, Dave Fields, Eric Leonard, Pat Burwick. Other notable developers include Pete Takeda, Ken Trout, and probably some more great climbers as well. Of more than a dozen developed crags, the most notable routes lie on the following crags: The Headstone, The Crimpfest Wall, The Red Wall, The Starcastle, The Crag Ranch, and The Shaft.
Getting There
From Denver, the best way to reach Devils's Head is to take CO Highway 85 south to Sedalia. Then head west on CO Highway 67 to the North entrance of the park, about 10 miles. The ranger station booth marks the North end of FR 300, the Ramparts Range Road. Take this South for approximately 9 miles to the turn off for Devil's Head campground and the Fire Tower. Be aware that the Rampart Range Road will be closed from the first Monday in December to sometime in April due to snow pack. From Colorado Springs, FR 300 can be reached from the Garden of The Gods, but is a fairly torturous 20 miles North. Once at the parking lot, head up the tourist trail toward the Fire Tower about 1.5 miles. At a saddle well below the Fire Tower the trail forks right (to the tower) and left to the Zinn Overlook. Head for the Zinn Overlook along a well defined climbers trail. At the overlook, trails will fork directly toward the Headstone formation (left) and right, through the woods, toward the Red Wall, Starcastle, and The Shaft.
"Rampart Range Rocks" by Tod Anderson is available at Bent Gate.
