I disagree with Edward Wasserman's suggestion that the media have an obligation to defend Edward Snowden ( Media should defend Snowden, Jan. 20). Snowden is a traitor to his country and deserves no support from anyone.
If Snowden had exposed the unconstitutional activities of the NSA and the kangaroo court that abets it, he would have done every citizen a favor. We have every right to know when the people we elect consider the Constitution to be just a scrap of paper to follow only when convenient.
But he went much further. He deliberately searched out information not properly available to him and that he had to know would harm U.S. relations with our allies and our reputation in the world. He then made certain that the data were published in a way to do maximum damage to U.S. foreign policy. If that isn't high treason, I don't know what is.

pleased to meat you
Recently, many people are making changes to their diets for many different reasons. I've just cut out gluten after trying a diet without it and noticing plenty of positive differences. But many people are going vegetarian or vegan, for different reasons all together.
I'm not taking a dig. At 12 years of age I became a vegetarian, simply because I did not enjoy the taste of most meats. To this day the thought of eating (even smelling) any type of pig or seafood disgusts me. So as a growing kid, I asked Mum to cut it out of my diet. She was supportive of this (she still blames the movie 'Babe' for my decision even though it has nothing to do with it – i mean how many fish were harmed in that movie?) but told me I had to substitute the meats for other foods that would provide the same nutrients. This is how well vegetarianism went for me: see you later red meat – hello lentils and mushrooms. Uh oh – I hate mushrooms. How many freaking types of beans are there? Mum why can't you make them taste any good? I'm now anemic?! Geez. May as well eat meat again.
Now I slip in and out of eating meat. I guess I'm a three-quarter-arian because I only eat a few meat products. Hello lasagna. But I don't need or want it a lot of the time. It turns out beans freaking rock, its just my Mum was a shit house cook (seriously, ask her).
So that's my story. But what about the others?
The people that are vegetarian – nay – vegan for the greater good of animal welfare and existence? Power to them. There should be more. We should treat imported and exported livestock far better than we are. Caged hens make me sick, and good on Woolworths for phasing out caged hen eggs. I believe animals should live prosperous lives like we have, and it sucks that many are born to be food.
My issue is how can you not eat meat – or consume any animal by-product even – for all those reasons, yet wear leather boots, jackets or bags?
says the vegan:
"Oh I would NEVER drain the cows udder and drink its milk – but kill it and I'll wear it, sure."
Its hard to go from gorging on all the 'meaty goodness' to stripping it out of your life like that. Its hard to develop new beliefs at an age where you've lived your life through other beliefs.
But please, vego's and vegans. If you really care about these animals – don't wear them. Eating them is at least providing nutrients. Wearing them is purely vanity, luxury or both.
Or other advice – don't tell anyone about the decisions you've made about your diet. You're doing it for and no one else after all. As soon as you say "I'm no longer eating meat – I'm 100% vego now peeps!" I guarantee there's someone out there waiting to catch you out. If you're a vegan and claiming it, I'm more than sure everyone is punishing by eating copious amounts of cheese, tasty ice cream and delicious chocolate. And if you, for one weak moment, decide to indulge? Havoc! They'll chastise you. You'll feel guilty. Helping out animals isn't so fun after all.
BUT if you can commit to it 100% (food AND clothing) and ignore the pleas/jokes/sarcasm/tempts of your friends – then go for it with strength behind you. Conquer what you do, and shift or shape peoples view on it! We need people like you to raise awareness about the poor treatment of animals. We need someone to take a stand. To practice what they preach. If you do this, I'm very proud of you and envious of your discipline. Here's to making the world better for us, and the animals.
Check out meat.org to find out more about the poor treatment of animals.

This Spring, you'll also start to see more construction on Quincy streets.
Quincy's Central Services Director Marty Stegeman says the crews have begun a city wide repair operation, looking for specific roads that need work.
Stegeman says North on 18th and Chestnut has seen significant wear and tear, and is on the list to be repaired soon.
Stegeman says patching crews have also begun work on potholes, relying on calls from drivers.
"We're still responding to calls for potholes as they arise, it's just an ongoing process, I guess similar to maintaining a house, we just have a little more to maintain," said Stegeman. "We'll start doing our street cleaning work as usual trying to clean up the leaves and the debris that just naturally seems to accumulate when you have snow, so it's a busy time of the year for us."
Stegeman says city water crews will also be working on repairing damaged sewer systems, as well as checking water mains through out the city.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.- Washington College sophomore softball player Molly Gallagher (Abingdon, MD/Edgewood) has been selected to attend the 2013 NCAA Career in Sports Forum, to be held in Indianapolis June 8-11.
Hosted annually by the NCAA, the NCAA Career in Sports Forum (CSF) is a four-day event that brings together several hundred selected student-athletes to learn about careers in sports. Although the chances of employment as a professional athlete are limited, there are many opportunities for careers as coaches, officials, and administrators in intercollegiate athletics. The CSF works to dispel myths about careers in athletics, as well as, facilitate the opportunity to obtain industry trends and hot topics from current athletics professionals.
A Human Development major in the Education program, Gallagher is completing her second season as an outfielder on the softball team. She is the third Washington College student-athlete chosen to attend the forum in as many years, joining Erin Lewns (field hockey, 2011) and Kelsey Mills (tennis, 2012).

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Distribution, Newsstand, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, Movies, CinematicalIn early January, we reported the news that director Ben Rekhi had turned down six figure distribution offers in favor of releasing his 2005 SXSW hit, Waterborne, on Google Video. Under Rekhi's agreement with Google, the movie could be watched via streaming video for free (for its first 10 days of release), or downloaded for less than $5.
According to Rekhi, his movie was viewed over 25,000 times in its first two weeks of release, and was downloaded hundreds of times every day. The film's producer, Smriti Mundhra, told The Hollywood Reporter's Anne Thompson that the decision was an unequivocal success: "The exposure we've gotten though the Google Video distribution model vastly exceeds what we would have gained through traditional theatrical distribution." Furthermore, the movie's presence on Google Video and the associated publicity have led to DVD preorders (currently at about 15,000) that greatly exceeded Rekhi's expectations. All in all, Waterborne has become a great advertisement for the concrete advantages of online distribution to the makers of independent films.
Waterborne comes out on DVD in two weeks.

A federal grand jury indictment that accuses two former Richmond police officers of buying guns for minors, lying to investigators and tampering with evidence is the latest in a growing
The indictment was filed in a federal courtroom in San Francisco Thursday against ex-cops Danny Harris Jr. and Raymond Thomas Jr. after an 11-month investigation. It says the pair forced two police Explorers, both under 21, to buy guns for them, then threatened the young men to prevent them from telling anyone about it.
Thomas and Harris then paid Concord private eye Christopher Butler $1,800 to set up a drunken driving arrest to sully the young mens' reputation, the indictment says.
"The alleged goal of the sting operation was to have the minors arrested for drunk driving and illegal possession of the guns," according to an FBI press release.
Prosecutors say Harris and Thomas OK'd the plan, in which a woman hired by the private eye would meet one of the Explorers and set up a date. ( Read this April 5 Patch story for more details.)
"The plan was for the woman to encourage the minor to bring his gun to one of those meetings," the FBI statement reads. "According to the indictment, the woman did meet the minor and they exchanged cell phone numbers. Through text messages, they set up a social engagement, and the woman asked the minor to bring his gun to the engagement."
The scam involved having the minor drink with the woman at a San Ramon bar and then get arrested in Danville.
The defendants were ordered to appear in federal court in Oakland on Aug. 9 for an arraignment. Together they face a litany of charges punishable by decades in federal prison.
Butler, the private investigator allegedly hired by Harris and Thomas, was arrested in February and named in a case against several former police officers accused of stealing drugs from evidence lockers and selling it back to dealers.
Former Contra Costa County Narcotics Task Force head , ex-San Ramon Officer and ex-Danville Officer face charges from both county and federal prosecutors.

I just patched txt2tags, including a new engine for wikidot, making the sed scripts useless. So now almost all txt2tags features are supported (links, tables, advanced formatting,...). I did many tests in the Wikidot sandbox, it is working fine. Of course, this is only one-way; t2t -> wikidot, not the other way round. But maybe this doc (studio / language) should be contributed only by the core team, through the git repository? We can create on the wiki an explanation on how to patch this help documents, arguing it will also be part of the offline help.
My experience with Globulation 2 is that it is a good idea to give access to documentation writing to non-programmers. Indeed, there are often people willing to help but unable to code, and programmers are not generally good at writing documentation. Moreover, non-programmers often see problems or incomplete explanations that developers miss. Therefore, I would try to lower the barrier for contributing documentation. So, Iam not sure that restricting the documentation-writing access to the core team is the best idea.
You can find the converted German version here: http://try.wikidot.com/txt2tags. But I don't know where to look for the errors you mentioned earlier. Could you please check?
For most part it is good. There is a problem with shifts (<<) and (>>). I am not sure to understand what you propose: Do you wish to automatically edit the wikidot pages from the git directory (github's hooks might to that), or do you wish to let people edit the Wiki in t2t's syntax for core-documentation pages?I started using t2t before Aseba had a Wiki, therefore I needed a local markup system. Now that we are using wikidot, it might be possible to generate local html pages from it, solely through html transformation. How difficult do you think it is, now that you know a bit more of wikidot's internals?
For the rest of the question, I think offline help is cool, because you don't always have an Internet connection (I often work in the train, and not in the 1st class wagon ;-). And having to cache the help each time you connect is not trivial, and maybe not significant (why having the help for version 2.0, if you are still using an old 1.0 version?). The help for language / studio should be kept sync with the binaries. Packaging the help makes sense to me, even if it adds some burden for the maintainers; but it is trivial to make a script automatizing this task.
Agreed, I got convinced along the way ;-)
On the web-side, I would maybe do something similar to Qt: Having a directory for each version, like aseba.net/doc/1.0/index.html. This way we can keep the doc for each released version, and the users are not confused.
Yes, this is a very good idea.So if we go for wikidot's html to local html, I would go the way of a script that: - fetches documentation corresponding to current version (printer-friendly version, using wget?)
- cleans-up html, resolves links and removes duplicates images - builds a corresponding resource fileThis script would be run manually by the release manager at the last stage of the release process, just before the call to packagers. The result will be stored in the git tree. If we use t2t markup as an intermediate step, the script would be similar but with a step of transformation in between.
Thanks for being so proactive in proposing solutions :-) Have a nice day, Stéphane -- Dr Stéphane Magnenat http://stephane.magnenat.net _______________________________________________ Aseba-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/aseba-dev

text: The USMNT v. Costa Rica was one of the craziest games I've ever seen. There were players tip-toe-ing on, like, a foot of snow trying to win balls and score goals. Dempsey scored for the USA early and that was about most of the action. Guzan played in goal for the US and looked in his element. Bradley disappeared at times in the blizzard.He needs to have a wig or something next time they play in snow like that. The game was almost called ten minutes into the second half, but the players got the ref to re-start play. That was a good move because it's probably still snowing in Denver. I'm happy that the USA got their 3 points. Now, instead of being in last place in the Hex, they get to be in second. It really takes the pressure off of the squad. I am a little worried that Klinsman will now us this as an excuse to roll out ever more esoteric lineups and frustratingly lose games, but I won't be as worried that it'll keep them from Rio 2014. Another great part of this game was that Kyle Beckerman didn't come on until the 94th minute. That guy's game is tired and he needs to go the way of Cherundulo and the other old boned bastards. The old guys are old and we need fresh new guys who aren't old. I'm sure the Costa Ricans are pissed that Obama went to Israel to summon a blizzard for this game, but they will have to get over it. USA wins by any means necessary!

Cee's Odd Ball Photo Challenge: Week 3
These are the pictures I took on a rainy fall day at home on the deck.
These are the pictures I took on a rainy fall day at home on the deck.
The lines in the road, the power lines running across and alongside the road … lines define the direction, the world. Stay within the line. Draw within the lines. Never ever go outside the line. This message is brought to you by Karma and Destiny, Attorneys at Law.
Power lines form patterns across the houses and sky during the pale hours of dawn on Rockport Harbor, Massachusetts.
The glass and steel tower is all angles, lines and patterns. It rises above you giving you a 360 degree view of the area around you. Structure is everything. Light, lines, balance. An exercise in geometry.
Looming as a ghost above downtown Boston, an unreal photographer captures the moment. Real? Sort of I guess.
A self-portrait by accident … and some careful design. Nothing I shoot is entirely accidental.

Hospital waiting rooms are edgy places. Everyone is anxious and their mood is not improved by the typical ambiance of abrupt angularity and cold colors and textures. Still, it can make interesting photographs.
I am still working with the Canon Powershot S100, no flash. There was more than enough ambient light with all the glass around me and the reflections from the snow outside.
Earlier today, my husband the movie maven wrote me and a few of his old TV pals. He had a question, perhaps one that has long needed answering. Given the cost and scarcity of panes of glass in Ye Olde West, how come instead of breaking all the glass before shooting, why didn't they open the windows? Following is the actual dialogue of leading movie experts.
Here's the dialogue:
Garry (Chief Movie Maven and Former TV Journalist): Surprise!! I'm watching an old "High Chaparral" episode: ( A) Why do they always break the windows before the shootouts? Couldn't they open the window first? Glass was expensive! ( B) How come the guys stationed on rooftops always get shot first in those shoot outs? – Big John Cannon
Marilyn (Blogger Supreme and Former Writer of Books Nobody Ever Read): I never thought about the windows. Not only are they expensive, but they'd be pretty hard to get. I mean, did they make that stuff on the ranch? Or did they have to haul it from back east?
Texas Tom (Retired Famous TV Anchor): This reporter is nowhere near the movie expert that you are. However, my sense is they always break the windows for (first of all) the visceral sound effect of the breaking and shattering glass, which also is a much stronger macho gesture than simply opening a window. Besides, opening the window just might require one or two more seconds than smashing the glass, which can be interpreted as an act of absolute crazed panic and desperation, and also shows the blood curdling anger and hostility of the glass breaker's killer instinct. As for always shooting the guys on the roof first, my sense again runs to the most bang for the moment answer. Having a stunt man tumble a story or two from a roof, balcony, overhang or whatever has a much more visceral (there's that word again) impact on the viewer's brain and gut than simply shooting a guy standing in front of you, or on the same level with you. It's a much more dramatic way of saying "this is the real deal here". – T. Texas Tom: Champion Cap Gun Fighter of the Entire West
Garry: Damn, you are so much more cerebral than me. You sound more like a Pilgrim than a Texican. Mebbe it's because we're on a fixed income that I wince when they just break the windows rather than opening them to spray lead. That's another thing. You would think they would be more economical with their bullets. Let the bad guys use up their ammo and shoot when you have a clear target. I guess the Duke would be pissed if he heard this austerity rant.
Jordan (Well-Known Radio Talk-Show Host): Do you think they only manufactured breakaway glass and furniture back in the old west? Thought stuff back then was made to last?
Marilyn: You'd think the chairs would collapse if you sat in them. Balsa must be sturdier than I thought.
Garry: Yeah, I used to laugh my ass off at the six shooters that never ran out of bullets. Also, Roy, Gene and our other heroes being chased by hordes of bad guys could shoot over their shoulder with precision and nail three bad guys with one bullet.
Texas Tom: Remember (of course you do) in the old Westerns with Hoot, Gene and Roy and Tex and those old guys would chase the bad guys and shoot for a whole reel without ever reloading? We used to laugh about that never-ending stream of bullets … they never ever fired their last one.
Marilyn: No one ever went into town to buy bullets, either. They must have had an armoury somewhere. Even the Lone Ranger never told Tonto to go into town and buy some ammo. They only ran out of bullets if the script writer decided it was the time to heighten the tension.

You know we cant lay off the bass. Neither can the average Miamian, so this friday we decided we were overdue for a night out and took a plunge into the pleasant abyss of nightlife.
First we took a cab to the FDR at Delano in Miami Beach , where Minimax and Slap & Tickle where having a throw down deck-side. The music was great, Matt Ohashi and Andrew Ward took us into another dimension where time ceased to exist.
Next thing you know we are at Treehouse with the guys from Link & Miami Rebels and none other than Luca Bacchetti, Needless to say, It was a memorable evening and an unpleasant morning. Big ups to Carma PR, Minimax, Link & Miami Rebels. Dont forget to check out the album after the break!
DVDASA Podcast: Why you should listen.
You might tune in for Howard Stern's tell-how-it-is attitude. You might be into Joe Rogan's ability to accurately describe a trans-dimensional drug episode hallucination by hallucination. Or you might just be into hearing people rant their problems away for hours on end. Podcasts has found a place into our everyday lives, either on the way to work or on a long trip aboard. We are all natural born storytellers; be it novels, comic books, films, or most importantly, narration. Technology has been increasing publishing accessibility to the common man, the Podcast being one of the most popular methods.
That being said, boring podcasts are a dime a dozen. Just because you can does not mean you should. Everyone's experience is valid but without eloquence and good oral narration skills your conspiracy theory might be just that. Just because you bought the newest version of Traktor and downloaded a top 40 Dj chart DOES NOT make you a Dj. Same logic applies to podcasts, a couple microphones and conversations amongst your friend will not generate a good podcast, but with experience you can share your content to the masses. This is exactly what David Choe and Asa Akira have done with the DVDASA Podcast.

Kontrol 1 Year Anniversary
The guys at MinMax are known for throwing some of the best pachangas on the beach. The Kontrol events at Mansion have been getting better and better since Richy and Matt started booking some of the most desired sounds in the house music industry. Maceo Plex, Art Department, and Seth Troxler are just a few of the Deejays to spin their events. Last week was their 1 year anniversary, Dj Jesse Perez was on the ones and twos as the night crawlers began flocking to the dance floor.
Around 2 am in the morning, Dj Sneak plugged in his USB's and the funk had begun. Chicago style house emanated from the speakers into early morning as the Boriquan Gangsta showed everyone in the Mansion a good night. Come out this thursday for an Incorrect Music showcase with Anthony Attalla and Cocodrills. Check out the album after the break!
LINK & Miami Rebels Present: DJ SASHA @ Treehouse
The guys from LINK & Miami Rebels have been working hard all year. With the opening of Underground Story, things have changed for the better. Bringing what feels like a constant stream of wmc year-round. We got a chance to catch up with Coloma from Miami Rebels at Treehouse and guess who was scheduled for a set. Sasha. Needless to say, this WMC will be spectacular.
STRANGEWAYS Zine Release Part Deux
Following our interview with Luis Pinto from strangeways, we thought it was only adequate to interview the guys in charge of some of the artwork including the bad-ass posters for the event. I got a chance to kidnap Augusto Mendoza and Edwin Beuchamp, founders of Coloform, for a small chat at the Lesters bathroom. They talked about collaborations, strangeways, and of course, the ladies.
The internet is overrated. Meet Luis Pinto, founder of STRANGEWAYS
After a short break, Vicios is back… And shit will impact a fan at the speed of light. This month we met with the crew responsible for the STRANGEWAYS zine at their release party in Lesters. Yes, I said zine. Zines are a self-published form of print media that get produced in small circulation with the use of copy machines. The most notoriously known example is Thomas Paine's Common Sense which is considered to be one of the sparks for the American Revolution. Zines have been appropriated since the birth of the printing press… but enough scholarly bullshit. Punk rock quelled teen angst in the 70′s with these publications. They are a cheap (not free), creative and incredibly personal way to communicate with complete control over aesthetics and content. Tangible media is becoming scarce and that is a terrifying thought (think idiocracy). Miami, meet the zine's rebirth right here in the sunburnt state. Luis Pinto founder of STRANGEWAYS had an encounter with Jose Garza in the bathroom? at Lesters where they had a chance to tell us about his strange ways.

Art Walk VIDEO RECAP
We are very proud to release our video recap of the october art walk promo we did at the Style Market. Good music by Fortunate Youth compliments a great visual diary of the day/night. Hope to see you all there this saturday!
Same time and place.
When your hear them play, it makes you wanna get up and move to the rythm of the music. The Cost consist of Manny Roman as Vocalist and lead guitarist, Nathan "Nate" Molina on the Bass, Julian Neverready as second guitarist, and Daniel Cardenas on the drums. Together they compose some heavy punk with traces of The Cure and other greats. Being a local Miami band and all, these guys are very close friends of mines. I got many chances to see them live in Churchills Pub drinking some gin and talking about the good old days. The band has been playing their ass off, and it been going pretty fucking good for them. Full rooms in places such as The Electric Pickle, Lesters, Green Room, Ricochet, Purdy Lounge and of course Churchills Pub. The fellas have outgrown the good old tre o' fi and are now causing havoc in Orlando at Peacock Room and Uncle Louise. Playing alongside bands like Jacuzzi boys, Las Tias, and Heartline Fits. The boys were busy playing this past weekend in Orlando, but i got a chance to get on the phone with them. Ladies and gentelmen , It is my please to introduce all of you to The Cost.

How Roommates are Assigned
Nazareth College believes that an important part of the residential learning experience is getting to know and deal with new friends in a new environment. Most national studies show that successful roommate pairings are the same if done randomly as when prospective students are matched by a questionnaire.
We have chosen a few criteria that we feel are most important and included them on the application.
When making room assignments, we take into consideration the preferences you indicate on your application-contract and related materials. We make every effort to honor one of your top three choices. Due to a high demand for certain spaces, however, we may not be able to do so.
Rooms are restricted on the basis of gender only. We will not house smokers with nonsmokers as indicated on your housing application. We do not assign rooms and will not make room changes on the basis of race, religion, national origin, or other such factors. We do have specially designed facilities for those with physical disabilities. We do not encourage best friends from home to live together as roommates. Our desire is to have new students broaden their horizons and friendship base.
Living with a Roommate
Getting Along
Whenever two or more people share limited living and working spaces, some disagreements or conflicts are inevitable. While our student body is homogeneous in many ways, it is very diverse in others. Part of student development is learning new things, exploring different options, and weighing the consequences of various actions and responses.
Here are Seven Sensational Suggestions for getting along with your roommate:
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Be flexible
- Cooperate
- Compromise
- Negotiate
Where else, but in college, would they expect you to live in a small space with a total stranger and like it??? Problems often arise when there is a lack of understanding and differences in people are ignored. You cannot assume or expect that your roommate will see things as you do or behave as you do. Your roommate may not become your best friend, but by following a few tips, you can have a successful year:
Communicate: Your roommate is not a mind reader and cannot always know what you are thinking or feeling. You aren't a mind reader either, so get into the habit of talking things over with each other. Whenever you have a serious discussion, remember the important lessons of kindergarten:
- Expect success
- Use "I" statements
- All things go much better with cookies and milk
- Be open, honest and direct
- Take turns
- Ask questions when you are confused
- Get help from others in authority
Discuss important issues such as sharing belongings, what level of cleaning and chores you expect from each other, study habits and visitors. In Residential Life, we have noticed a theme to many of the personal conflicts which arise.
Sharing and Use of Personal Possessions
How much are you willing to share? Will you share your clothes, but not your computer? How about toiletries? What about sports equipment? It is perfectly all right not to share. However, it is important that you express clearly your attitude toward sharing at the beginning of the school year. When in doubt, always ask permission if you wish to use or borrow someone else's belongings.
Room-keeping Attitudes
Once your room is set up (which also may point out differences in decorating tastes and lifestyles), it will need upkeep. Often roommates have different concepts and standards of neatness. Let your feelings be known early. It may be helpful to make a monthly schedule of who will do what and stick to it; be sure to review on a regular basis to fine tune.
Visitors to the Room
Realize that your roommate(s) will have other friends and that you are living in a residence hall with many students. There will be someone who wants to visit all hours of the day and night. There will also be times when one person wants to study in the room and another is just getting involved in a lively conversation. How about when one roommate may want to party when the other has to prepare for an exam? Be considerate and expect consideration in return. Keep your wits about you, and discuss any potential problem with your roommate.
Developing Friendships
As the year progresses, it is natural for strong friendships to develop between students who are not roommates. Try not to become overly dependent on your roommate for friendship. In fact, you and your roommate may not become "friends" at all in the true sense of the word. This does not preclude your being friendly and respectful. Also, if you and your roommate do become close friends, try not to become so exclusive so as to shut out other relationships.
Study Habits
Some people study well with music playing; others need total quiet. Some students prefer to study in their room; others elect to go out. Some students study late into the night; others prefer early morning or daytime hours. You and your roommate will have definite preferences. The possibility of differences in your study habits should be expected. Students who talk out these differences early in the school year usually can make satisfactory adjustments with respect to the rights and needs of each other.
Personal Habits
Most people share the same ideas on personal hygiene; however, in a few cases, you and your roommate may differ. Approach this topic as you would any conflict, gently but firmly. Avoid being overly harsh and critical, but be honest. Open communication is the basis for any good relationship.
There comes a time in every student's life when the room, hall, or building will seem too noisy. Someone's (or your own) music is too loud; an alarm clock wakes a student intent on sleeping; a phone rings at 4:00 AM. These annoying situations are common in large communities. The key is to keep your head and strive to respond to the problem in an open and cooperative manner.

The San Diego Chargers community and the rest of the NFL are mourning the death of longtime Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, who died of a gunshot wound to the chest on Wednesday. Police are investigating the death as a suicide.
Chargers owner Dean Spanos talked to KUSI News in San Diego shortly after his death and commented on Seau staying true to his roots in San Diego.
"His roots are here. He's been a part of, even when he left and played back out east, his roots and his home were here. He never forgot about San Diego. He's been back here for a number of years now. He's well respected and loved in this community."
Spanos remembered the Chargers inducting Seau into the Chargers Hall of Fame last year and "you could hear the roar of the fans and the love and appreciate of this guy."
Spanos said Seau was the "heart and soul" of so many of those Chargers teams, including the team that went to the Super Bowl 17 years ago.
"He was the heart and soul of our team for so many years. Even after he left, his roots and his home were still here. Just people loved him and admired him. It's obviously shocking."
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Seau family.
Please visit SB Nation's Chargers blog, Bolts From The Blue, where they're remembering Seau.

News: Nicki Minaj Switching Her Style Up For Debut, "I Want To Have An Entirely New Body Of Work"
Sunday, Apr 25, 2010 11:21AM
Young Money's Nicki Minaj recently spoke on her upcoming debut album and revealed her intention to surprise fans.
According to the "Barbie," she is still in the early parts of recording her debut.
Her first single, "Massive Attack," generated huge buzz thanks to a flashy video by Hype Williams that landed it in the R&B charts. But now fans expect more from the rapstress, which may take time, since she admits she hasn't gotten around to recording any other tracks yet. "Mmmmm no," she laughs slyly. "I wish! But you know, the stuff that I've done -- it doesn't really reflect me anymore, so I want to have an entirely new body of work." (New York Post)
Minaj recently said she is looking to bring originality to hip-hop.
Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown recording artist Nicki Minaj will release her highly anticipated solo debut album in Fall 2010. 'I don't want to do anything that sounds like what any other female rapper has done,' said Nicki Minaj. 'I want to start a new lane that one day, 10 years from now, girls will say, 'I'm more of a Nicki Minaj type.' (Cash Money Records Press Release)
The rapper recently talked about her position as a female in the rap game.
"You know what, I'm a female entertainer," Nicki clarified, "but I don't let it offend me when people call me a female MC or female rapper, because I just look at it as a challenge. I'm about to climb over every single barrier and just put females on a different map altogether," she continued. "So I take it as it comes. Like, I don't think in five years people will consider me a female rapper--I'll be, like, an entertainer. But, as of right now, I get it. I started off in the underground hip-hop circuit, so I'm a female rapper right now. But it's just the beginning." (XXL Magazine)
Earlier this year, Minaj justified not rushing out her first solo effort.
"I've gotten great feedback from artists I look up to and never thought I'd work with," she explained in an interview. "They're already in line to be on the project. But it's like, 'Do I want to put out a debut album with a thousand features on it or do I wanna finally showcase Nicki?' I'm not worried about features at all...With the album, I think it's more important that people get accustomed to seeing a female rapper again. Before I drop an album, people need to come out and see. People don't even know what a female rapper does. We're so not used to seeing it. It's nonexistent in categories. We don't get nominated. I need to work [the people] up to accepting a female rapper again and accepting my style and all of that -- then the album will come. Honestly, I'd love to put an album out this year, but I don't believe in rushing things either." (MTV)

Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Ridge Road Fire District to protect the lives and property of the citizens and visitors of the district by providing the highest possible levels of service through fire supression, rescuce , emergency medical care, public education, and mitigation of natural and man-made disasters, consistent with the resources provided.
The Ridge Road Fire District,
with the assistance of the Rochester Fire Department hosted the 8th
Annual Tournament at the Deerfield Country Club, June 8th and 9th.
With 120 golfers on Sunday and more than
200 on Monday, it makes this event one of the foundations largest events and
the money raised at this event also allows us the be able to say we are one of
the largest contributors to the National Fallen Fighters Foundation. This year, as in previous years, the
survivors of firefighters lost this past year were invited to attend. Holes were
dedicated to each and a hole flag was presented to each family. The event was a huge success but it would not
be possible without the dedication and commitment of the volunteers that come
back year after year to help, the vendors who provide the coffee and donuts,
the lunch, the water, pop and beer, the sponsors and their donations, the
bagpipers, drummers and Honor Guards for the opening ceremonies and the owners
and staff of the Deerfield Country Club. The never ending support of the County
Executive and the Town of Greece supervisor is greatly appreciated year in and
year out.
But, without the year round
dedication of the co-chairs, Randy Jensen and Steve Johnson, the event would
not take place. These two, along the
Russ Merrick from the Rochester Fire Department are the movers of this event
and they deserve a huge thank you from all of us. Finally, to the golfers who come back year
after year, we thank you and hope to see you again next year when we will host
the 9th Annual New York State National Fallen Firefighters Golf
On behalf of the National Fallen
Firefighters Foundation, the men and women of the Ridge Road Fire District and
the Rochester Fire Department, I am extending a sincere thank you for helping to
make this event another huge success.
Phillips, Chief
Road Fire District
CONGRATULATIONS!!! to Randy Jensen and Battalion
Chief Bill Timmons on their announced retirements from the Ridge Road Fire
District. Randy is leaving to follow
other paths with his family while BC Timmons has accepted a position with the
Unity Health System, a position that will also prove beneficial to us.
Randy has been with the District since May 12, 1994 after he
left the County 911 Center. Randy's official retirement date is May 22. His
retirement party is scheduled for May 18th at the Barnard Exempts
from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
BC Timmons has been with District since October 22,
1986. He became a firefighter in 1988, a
lieutenant in 1998, a captain in 2002 and a Battalion Chief in 2006. Bill's official retirement date is May 29th.
As of this posting, no party date has been announced.
On behalf of the Administration, the Board of Fire
Commissioners and the men and women of the Ridge Road Fire District we wish
both Bill and Randy and their families well and good luck with their future
endeavors. They both have been valuable
assets to this District and to the community and will be missed.

PHOENIX (AP) - Replay is here to stay in the NFL.

PHOENIX (AP) - Replay is here to stay in the NFL.
"Cincinnati and Arizona voted against the proposal, as they nearly always do on replay issues."
don't worry bengals, the cameras are for on the field not off it.
This is good.
I feel that they need to make everything that you can possibly review reviewable though.
That is bull that they can't review certain things.
I think it's stupid that they cannot get this. It would seem only fair, and to defeat the proposal only because of a decision on who would wear the devise seams not to bright.Quote:
One proposal was defeated. Defenses will not be allowed to have a coach-to-player communications device similar to what quarterbacks use. McKay said owners and coaches were concerned about who would be allowed to wear the device with defenses using multiple formations, and the possibility that more than one player could wind up on the field with such a device.
I can understand the arguement of who gets to wear it.. if your changing guys it's possible to have multiple guys wearing the device in case of substitutions. now say at one point u have 3 guys on the field with the thing on..
that's a bit unfair...
or say 2 guys get on and one comes running off cause you can only have one.. and u get either 1 man down play.. or delay of game, or waste a t.o..
i would be asking bigger questions though..
what's the communication signal?
and is the home team able to tap in?.. u over hear the D formation.. and build yer plays against it..
seems kinda like whta the giants did 2 us once..
loose all communications cept coach 2 coach..
say that the device goes on 2 sets of helmets..
you get 1 helmet if u wear the device
and 1 if u don't.
that's a good proposal isn't it?
(wonder how many times there will be delay of game, or 12 men on the field while they get who's wearing the helmet issue solved)
Replay should have never been stopped the 1st time, there are still ways to improve it and to make it more efficient.
But the biggest thing is to get the call right, I hate when they take 3 minutes to decide and then still get the call wrong.
I love instant replay, we get to sit around with our thumbs in our asses pining over the upcoming call, watching 30 different replays and sometimes they even manage to get the call wrong. Save my time if you aren't going to get it right using the camera don't bother.

Unfortunately right now, the replay official doesn't have access to everything and all the angles that are available and that we see on TV, but I read they're supposed to be pushing for adding that stuff.Quote:

But, I'm sure they'll still manage to get some stuff wrong.
Either way, I'm still in favor of it.
Well it is here, so wether I am in favor of it or not is really not worthy of discussing. Now that it is a sure thing, give them what they need to do to get it right because they aren't.

Pretotyping – Techniques for Building the Right Product
Pages 39-40 of "Pretotype It" (Second Edition) by Alberto Savoia lists seven techniques for determining that you are "building the right product before you invest in building your product right." Bold text is from the book, my comments are mixed in below each one.
- The Mechanical Turk – Replace complex and expensive computers or machines with human beings.
Also known as
- starting with a service
- wrapping a thick protective blanket of consulting around your product so that no one is hurt by it
- selling the holes not the drill
- Wizard of Oz (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain).
- Flintstoning (Fred Flinstone's feet powered his "car").
- Manualating (a backward formation from automating)
- the concierge method
- The Pinocchio – Build a non-functional, "lifeless", version of the product.
Useful for form and fit validation. Jeff Hawkins famously carried around a block of wood to get an appreciation for what a PDA might feel like.
- The Minimum Viable Product (or Stripped Tease) – Create a functional version of the product, but stripped down to its most basic functionality.
A basic approach for any bootstrapper – make sure you have the simplest offering that customers are willing to buy before you worry about adding features (and delaying time to break even revenue). In reading this Savoia is using the Marty Cagan MVP model "smallest possible product that has three critical characteristics: people choose to use it or buy it; people can figure out how to use it; and we can deliver it when we need it with the resources available – also known as valuable, usable and feasible."
- The Provincial – Before launching world-wide, run a test on a very small sample.
Start in a niche. When in doubt zoom in or traction.
- The Fake Door – Create a fake "entry" for a product that doesn't yet exist in any form.
I am not a fan of this except in very limited circumstances for B2B markets as it can be very corrosive to the trust required to built a long term business relationship. And at least with software products for business, a longer term relationship is normally intrinsic to the customer's calculation of the value of your offering. If you start to erect "Potemkin village" products that have too many false fronts or facade items in your menus and options prospects may doubt the entire offering.
- The Pretend-to-Own – Before investing in buying whatever you need for your product, rent or borrow it first.
Find a way to use tooling or equipment before committing to a significant purchase.
- The Re-label – Put a different label on an existing product that looks like the product you want to create.
Often a more complex product can have menu items deleted or entire branches of a menu tree pruned to explore whether this is a market for a simpler offering. At Cisco we didn't stuff two connectors on a four port router and changed the paint job to create a "lower cost" model until the box could be re-designed.
What's missing
- The holodeck – simulate the effect of a product on a workflow: understand where the next bottleneck is to determine how much benefit eliminating one or more steps (or reducing one or more category of error) will actually yield. This is the default method for "system on a chip" design approaches but I suspect we will see more service workflow simulations as a part of the development of new service offerings in the future.
- Family Tree – verify that manual implementations exist for what you plan to automate, has someone written an Excel macro (or an EMACS macro) to solve the problem. Are people already following a checklist to prevent a category of errors? Replacing workarounds involves less behavior change (at least in terms of a customer's view of the real problem) than getting them to try something without antecedents.
- "What's On Your Mind" – understand the customer's view of the problem and the constraints your solution has to satisfy before proposing one. This normally requires an active curiosity about the customer's perception of their needs. This is not the same as asking them for features and implementing them without considering the deeper implications.
- Picnic in the Graveyard – do research on what's been tried and failed. Many near misses have two out of three values in a feature set combination correct (some just have too many features and it's less a matter of changing features than deleting a few). If you are going to introduce something that's "been tried before" be clear in your own mind of what's different about it and why it will make a difference to your customer.
- Want Ad – ask customers to write up a job description with a focus on "results to be achieved" by your product. Clayton Christensen calls this the "jobs to be done" model for a new produce (See also Chapter 3 from Innovator's Solution "What Products Will Customers Want to Buy"

Uncover the delights of central Italy
Our Opinion
"This tour provides a wonderful introduction to the delights of Italy; from the Classical glories of Rome and Florence to enchanting landscapes in Tuscany and the Bay of Naples - and the legendary city of Pompeii. You can explore on your own or join optional guided tours in Rome and Florence - giving you lots of flexibility."
Classic Italy Tour Overview
Combine a three-night stay overlooking the glorious Bay of Naples with four nights in the sublime Tuscan countryside. Discover brooding Vesuvius, fabled Sorrento, ancient Pompeii and the exquisite Amalfi Drive.

Perched upon its cliff-top, Sorrento seems built between the sky and the sea. Its beating heart is the Piazza Tasso. In the evenings its bars and cafes become the perfect base from which to watch the locals enjoying the passeggiata down the stylish Corso Italia and through the maze of alleyways.
The spa-resort of Chianciano Terme, our second resort, is 60 miles from Florence and boasts a wonderful climate. It comprises two settlements: the old hill-town and the modern spa town below it, and offers some excellent shops as well as many small gelaterie, bars, cafes and restaurants.

Coming into the 2010 NFL season, the Ravens had some high expectations and arguably our most balanced and well-rounded team since being established in 1996. Before the season started some fans would have been content with our 8-4 record at this point of the season. In my opinion we handled 4-5 of our 12 games without too much stress related hair loss or wall punching. The other games were the type of games that drive us all crazy, when all it takes is one play to decide whether we get the "W" or a "L." This last game against the Steelers was as expected, just another one of those "why-the-hell-do-I-need-nail-clippers-when-I-can-just-watch-Ravens-play-football" games.
If only I were a fan that was able to make an excuse as to why my team lost, would losses like this past one be that much easier to deal with. I could blame injuries or bad officiating and just look to next week. But no, I understand that there are far too many "buts" and "if onlys" to be able to say that my team didn't deserve to lose. It really makes me sick to say this, but the better team won this past Sunday. Our Baltimore Ravens need to do something different if we want to be able to be successful in the playoffs this year.
But right now, I need to cope somehow. So what better way to do that than to be an ass and act like my excuses for my team matter, and any excuses or counters for/from the other team are total Bull Sh*t. So Steeler fans shut up and re-read what I wrote above over and over again as many times as you want. See you guys in the playoffs.
If only all our players were healthy:
Our offensive pass protection and other line play is streaky at best. We have been playing without Jared Gaither all year. The Chris Chester starting at RG experience makes me want to vomit. How many times did we see him get tossed around and often into our runningback? Todd Heap and Le'ron McClain absences were felt too. Our Blitz pickup was nowhere near as effective as it was the last time we played the Steelers. Also, Dickson wasn't as reliable as Heap would have been. I'm placing the blame on our back-ups and the other shifts of responsibilities brought on by injury.
If only the refs called everything in our favor:
There were a handfull of questionable ball spots. Many uncalled offensive line holding penalties on the Steelers, and Steeler defensive backs seemed to be getting away with early contact time and time again. Also, just because Mr. Oher has the quickest step off the line, doesn't mean you have to flag him for a False Start all the time or at all. He got away with more the last time we played the Steelers. Flacco's arm was definately going forward on that fumble.... maybe not, but you could have at leasted called it that way. Come on refs, call the game for just the Ravens next time.
If only our players were clutch on each and every play:
We need to make that clutch tackle to stop the go ahead touchdown. Suggs should have stripped that ball from Ben and took it for a touchdown... or at least sack that crooked nosed fool. TJ, catch the ball in traffic, just because there is tight coverage doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to grab that ball. Come on Ed Dickson, being a rookie doesn't mean your allowed to make mistakes. Flacco... he was wide open, you're supposed to be perfect. Cundiff, you know you could have made a field goal to tie the game make Harbaugh know that you can.
If only our coaches made the right calls all the time:
We started too many drives with a 2nd and over 10 to go for the next first down. If I didn't know the Ravens were so predictable I would have thought the Steelers defence was in our huddle. Mixing in a stupid reverse doesn't make a good case for being an offensive mastermind. Use plays that work, Boldin seemed uncoverable and Ray Rice was under-used. Where were the screens that worked the last time we played the Steelers?
If only the game ended at 50 minutes, then I wouldn't have needed to write this.

From high street to haute couture, fashion conscious consumers are a demanding crowd and now thanks to social media they have the opportunity to shout about it. And more importantly, who should companies be listening to? Who has real influence?
Is it the obvious: editors, fashion bloggers and trendsetters or are there different tribes? Can new influence tools like PeerIndex, Klout or KRED unlock these groups or is it a case of knowing 'who to know'? Or does an army of engaged, happy consumers all the influence a brand needs? How does a brand handle customer service when there are so many channels a consumer can use?
Whilst the approaches of a fashion house may differ from a multinational fashion brand, the challenges remain the same: finding the influencers, developing engagement, building loyalty and handling customer service. Come and join leading thinkers to find out more…

Rutland, Vermont - May 28, 2010
Teachers in Rutland Town are threatening to strike. Contract talks broke down this week with the school board imposing an agreement that includes no raises for the next year.
Meanwhile, teachers in Rutland City have a new three-year contract. 300 educators and professional staff will receive 3-percent pay raises each year. Teachers will continue to pay 10-percent of their health care costs, despite a vote on Town Meeting Day to double it.
The legislature rejected the charter change.
