.- An Italian priest who started a controversy by publicly professing his love for one of his parishioners has been barred from administering the sacraments.
Padua Bishop Antonio Mattiazzo issued a decree on Monday forbidding Father Sante Sguotti from hearing confessions in Monterosso, near the northern city of Padua. The bishop also replaced him with another priest.
Father Sguotti is rumored to have had a child with his parishioner, who is reportedly separated from her husband. The priest reportedly has the support of 800 of his parishioners. Some have made T-shirts bearing approving messages and the new priest's Masses are reported to be poorly attended in protest. Father Sguotti polled his parishioners in a "referendum" and claimed to have received the support of a vast majority.
Father Sguotti responded to the bishop's decision: "I don't know yet what I'll do," the priest told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "As always, it's a decision that I will take with the help of my brothers and sisters of Monterosso."

Nursing assistant

- 1Aug 4, '12 by ScottE,RNYou are only required to be a CNA/STNA if you work in a Nursing Home/LTC facility. It's a federal program that was designed to prevent elder abuse.
- 0Aug 7, '12 by gummi bearIn some assisted living facilities you do not have to be certified, but you will also not be identified as a CNA by the IDPH. It's like doing CNA work without getting credit for being a CNA, except not vital signs. The pay tends to be better though (in the facilities that I've seen).

Last error message and related information
Note: lasterror will be removed in a future version. You can obtain information about any error that has been generated by catching an MException. See Capture Information About Exceptions in the Programming Fundamentals documentation.
s = lasterror
s = lasterror(err)
s = lasterror('reset')
s = lasterror returns a structure s containing information about the most recent error issued by the MATLAB® software. The return structure contains the following fields:
Character array containing the text of the error message.
Character array containing the message identifier of the error message. If the last error issued by MATLAB had no message identifier, then the identifier field is an empty character array.
Structure providing information on the location of the error. The structure has fields file, name, and line, and is the same as the structure returned by the dbstack function. If lasterror returns no stack information, stack is a 0-by-1 structure having the same three fields.
The fields of the structure returned in stack are
Name of the file in which the function generating the error appears. This field is the empty string if there is no file.
Name of the function in which the error occurred. If this is the primary function in the file, and the function name differs from the file name, name is set to the file name.
Line number of the file at which the error occurred.
See Message Identifiers in the MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation for more information on the syntax and usage of message identifiers.
s = lasterror(err) sets the last error information to the error message and identifier specified in the structure err. Subsequent invocations of lasterror return this new error information. The optional return structure s contains information on the previous error.
s = lasterror('reset') sets the last error information to the default state. In this state, the message and identifier fields of the return structure are empty strings, and the stack field is a 0-by-1 structure.
Save the following MATLAB code in a file called average.m:
function y = average(x) % AVERAGE Mean of vector elements. % AVERAGE(X), where X is a vector, is the mean of vector elements. % Nonvector input results in an error. check_inputs(x) y = sum(x)/length(x); % The actual computation function check_inputs(x) [m,n] = size(x); if (~((m == 1) || (n == 1)) || (m == 1 && n == 1)) error('AVG:NotAVector', 'Input must be a vector.') end
Now run the function. Because this function requires vector input, passing a scalar value to it forces an error. The error occurs in subroutine check_inputs:
average(200) Error using average>check_inputs (line 11) Input must be a vector. Error in average (line 5) check_inputs(x)
Get the three fields from lasterror:
err = lasterror err = message: [1x61 char] identifier: 'AVG:NotAVector' stack: [2x1 struct]
Display the text of the error message:
msg = err.message msg = Error using average>check_inputs (line 11) Input must be a vector.
Display the fields containing the stack information. err.stack is a 2-by-1 structure because it provides information on the failing subroutine check_inputs and also the outer, primary function average:
st1 = err.stack(1,1) st1 = file: 'd:\matlab_test\average.m' name: 'check_inputs' line: 11 st2 = err.stack(2,1) st2 = file: 'd:\matlab_test\average.m' name: 'average' line: 5
Note As a rule, the name of your primary function should be the same as the name of the file that contains that function. If these names differ, MATLAB uses the file name in the name field of the stack structure.
lasterror is often used in conjunction with the MException.rethrow function in try, catch statements. For example,
try do_something catch do_cleanup rethrow(lasterror) end
MathWorks® is gradually transitioning MATLAB error handling to an object-oriented scheme that is based on the MException class. Although support for lasterror is expected to continue, using the static MException.last method of MException is preferable.
assert | dbstack | error | lastwarn | MException | MException.last | MException.rethrow | try, catch

The most frequent complaint that I hear in my psychotherapy practice these days is that people feel estranged from their own lives, unable to enter their experience -- as if they are ghosts, floating outside the experience of life itself. Their life is happening and time is passing, but they are not exactly the ones living it, at least not directly. Our cultural disease is one of absence, as if our own presence has gone missing from life.
Our human mind is a pathogen in this modern disease. The mind is like a reporter assigned to conduct an ongoing commentary. The commentary is not only for us, but also about us and about our life. Rather than experiencing our life as it is happening, our mind narrates it to us through an internal voiceover, packaging our life for some future presentation. If the mind does its job, we end up well-informed about what is happening to us, but never allowed to experience it for ourselves.
Technology is now a powerful extension of the human mind. Technology captures life but simultaneously keeps us out of it. Technology keeps life safe, but in the process denies us access to it.

The stock market isn't rigged, but it is taxed.
It always has been. As Justin Fox points out, for as long as people have been trading stocks, there have been middlemen taking a cut of the action. Now, that cut has gotten smaller as markets have gotten bigger and more technologically-advanced, but it's still there. It's the implicit fee that intermediaries charge for making sure there's a buyer for every seller, and a seller for every buyer—for "making markets."
But there's a new kind of middleman today. They don't work at stock exchanges or banks. They work at hedge funds, and trade at whiz-bang speeds. These "high-frequency traders" (HFT) use computer algorithms—a.k.a., algobots—to arbitrage away the most infinitesimal price discrepancies that only exist over the most infinitesimal time horizons. You can see just how small and how fast we're talking about in the chart below from a new paper by Eric Budish and John Shim of the University of Chicago and Peter Cramton of the University of Maryland. It uses 2011 data to show the price difference between futures (blue) and exchange-traded funds (green) that both track the S&P 500. These should be perfectly correlated, and they are—at minute intervals. But this correlation disappears at 250 millisecond intervals, a little more than half the time it takes to blink your eyes. This is the "inefficiency" that HFT makes less so.
This rise of the robots certainly seems to have helped ordinary investors. Bid-ask spreads—the difference between what buyers want to pay and sellers want to be paid—have fallen dramatically the past 20 years. Part of this is because, since 2001, stock prices have gone from trading in fractions to pennies—which has allowed them to be increasingly precise. Another part is that electronic trading, though not super-fast, has made markets more liquid. And the last part is that HFT has added even more liquidity, eliminating bid-ask spreads that would have been too small to do so before. Indeed, researchers found that Canadian bid-ask spreads increased by 9 percent in 2012 after the government introduced fees that effectively limited HFT.
That doesn't mean, though, that HFT is unambiguously good. It's not. In fact, it might not even be ambiguously good. As Noah Smith points out, we just don't know enough to do any kind of cost-benefit analysis. Now, we do know that smaller bid-ask spreads, which cut the cost of trading, are one benefit. But how much of one is it? Bid-ask spreads are down to around 3 basis points today—from 90 basis points 20 years ago—so even if curbing HFT increases them, say, 9 percent like it did in Canada, we're not talking about a big effect. There might be diminishing returns to liquidity that we've already hit, and then some.
Then there are the costs. Michael Lewis' new book, Flash Boys, describes some of them. In it, there's Lewis' requisite group of plucky outsiders—is there another kind?—taking on a rotten status quo. Except this time, they're not really outsiders; they're big bank traders. And they've figured out that the market doesn't work like it should for big investors, like pension and mutual funds, because of the algobots. But it's a little bit more complicated than that. Here are the three biggest, though hard to quantify, costs of HFT.
1. Market-taking, not market-making. Lewis' protagonist, a trader named Brad Katsuyama, had a problem. Every time he tried to buy stock for a client, he could only get a little bit of what was supposed to be there at the price he saw. Now, oddly enough, he could get all the stock he saw at one particular exchange, but he had to pay more at all the others. What was going on?
Well, he was being front-run. HFT firms pay public and private exchanges to see their incoming orders. That's why Katsuyama was getting all of his order filled at the exchange closest to him—that is, as the fiber optic cable lies—but nowhere else. The HFTers were seeing his order at the first exchange and then racing to buy all the rest of the stock he wanted everywhere else, so they could sell it to him for more. This happens all the time: Nicholas Hirschey of the London Business School found that HFT funds only tend to buy aggressively right before everybody else does.
It's not too different from what HFTers do when they buy early access to public data. Again, they're paying for a trading advantage that isn't really adding liquidity. It's what Barnard professor Rajiv Sethi calls "superfluous financial intermediation." HFT firms aren't connecting buyers and sellers who might not find each other. They're jumping in between buyers and sellers who would have found each other anyways in a few milliseconds. It's not making markets more efficient. It's cheating.

This evening I watched the Mariinsky version of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. This is the only ballet I like. Mostly because of the music. And, I suspect, because once I could recite the entire Shakespeare play. (I was Friar Lawrence in the high school production.) And now in the ballet I can hear the words of every emotion.
Is there anything more moving than Juliet's dance with her nurse? Juliet is so innocent and joyous in anticipation of the party planned for that evening. Better is the dance between Romeo and Juliet at the party, when they meet and fall in love. Better is the balcony scene when they pledge their love. No, even better is the scene at Friar Lawrence's cell when they marry. And the best is the morning of the night they consummate their love & marriage.
I can still hear those words:
Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east.
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
For us ordinary mortals, obsessed by the silliness of Mt Polley, and publically oblivious of the delights of love, tomorrow brings the first of the reports on every tailings facility in British Columbia. As noted in this report:
As the Dec. 1 deadline approaches for mines in B.C. to submit independent dam safety inspection reports, the Ministry of Energy and Mines announced it has selected Hatch Ltd. to assist with the oversight of the review process.
Currently there are 98 permitted tailings impoundments at 60 operating and closed metal and coal mines in B.C. All of them will be required to submit the inspection reports.
"We will know the final status of the submissions by midnight on Dec. 1, which is the deadline set by the Chief of Inspector of Mines," ministry spokesperson, David Haslam told the Tribune.
Normally permitted mines are required to conduct a dam safety inspection each year, but when the tailings impoundment breached at Mount Polley Mine on Aug. 4, releasing 17 million cubic metres of water and 8 million cubic metres of tailings, Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman issued an order requiring every mining facility in the province submit reports by the deadline.
New was the requirement that the inspections be reviewed by an independent qualified third-party professional engineer from a firm not associated with their tailings facilities, the ministry said.
"The order also included a requirement for a third-party review of the dam consequence classifications by Dec. 1, 2014," the ministry noted in a press release. "A dam's consequence classification is based on the potential impact to population, environment, cultural values and infrastructure should it fail, and is set according to the Canadian Dam Association Dam Safety Guidelines."
Under the order, mines with high-, very-high or extreme consequence classifications will be required to submit Dam Break Inundation Studies and Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans which have been reviewed by a qualified professional engineer.
Hatch Ltd. was awarded the $305,000 contract and will assist the Ministry of Energy and Mines with reviewing all of the submissions to ensure consistency and compliance, work with First Nations and establish a platform to release all submissions to the public in approximately eight weeks.
Additionally members of the public and informed interest groups wishing to make submissions to the three-member independent Mount Polley Mine review panel have until Dec. 7, 2014.
Information on how to submit information can be found at http://www.mountpolleyreviewpanel.ca.
I saw the first of these on Friday. Wow! If they are all like this, all hell is about to break loose! But then maybe not all will be as brutally honest as the one I saw. I hope they are all honest, brutally honest, for the jolt, the wake-up call will forever change mining waste management, not only in BC but worldwide. Stand by, it will be an interesting week if Hatch can get their act together and let the public see the reports as they come in. Although I am told many have applied for an extension: work not done; opinions too strong; crowd control not ready; and lawyers in uproar.
Oh for a Friar Lawrence to tame the passions that the reports will arouse. For if no Lawrence, the entire BC mining industry will be singing and dancing to these words:
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east.
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
No matter. Tomorrow night I shall take Viagra, go to my lover, and we will fuck, regardless of the state of BC or international mining. Existential pleasure transcends politics, MEM, or the state of the environment.

Want to catch the action? Here's a quick guide to the gear—especially lenses--you need. Updated for Fall 2013.
Mason Resnick
August 8, 2013
Whether you're shooting with a DSLR or a high-end Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Compact, there's a plethora of choices when it comes to lenses. Which are best for catching the action?
There is a wide range of lenses that can be used for sports photography; if you're just dabbling, a lower-cost lens may be sufficient (until you gain experience) but if you want the ability to shoot publishable sports shots, there are lenses specifically made for this purpose. Here's a very brief overview of lenses available at the Adorama lens department. (NOTE: Lens availability and pricing are current as of mid-August, 2013)Getting started
Pretty darn good: I shot this using an enthusiast rig: Canon T3i DSLR, Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens. Photo by Mason ResnickA low-cost sports photography rig should give you a combined range of around 18-200mm (35mm equivalent: approx. 28-300mm). This can include one, two or three zoom lenses. A kit lens and a lower-end tele zoom will do you fine and should cost in the $300 range. An all-in-one superzoom will cost a bit more.The advantage of kit lenses is that most now have built-in image stabilization, and are lightweight. The disadvantage is that they are slow—the widest apertures are around f/3.5-4.5, and they get smaller as you zoom to longer focal lengths. To compensate, you need to choose higher ISO settings so you can still use action-stopping shutter speeds. It will not produce ultimate image quality.

What about MILCs? Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Compact cameras are a growing category but the number of lenses suitable for sports photography is currently limited. Only a handful of these cameras have no shutter lag and focus fast enough to capture the action, and any focusing problems are magnified by longer lenses. However, the combination of an Micro Four-Thirds Olympus OM-D E-M5 and a lens like the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm (35mm equivalent: 80-300mm) f4.0-5.6 Zoom works well.
Want to increase your lens's range even further? Consider adding a 1.4x or 2x tele extender. But remember that in addition to magnifying your subject, it will magnify your lens's optical faults. So you may want to use an extender with a higher-quality lens,
While a basic kit such as the one described above might be fine for your use, if you decide you want to get serious about sports photography, you'll need to invest in quality lenses.Getting serious
Even better: This was of New York Giants Defensive Lineman Jason Pierre-Paul using pro gear, including a longer, faster telephoto lens. It's sharper, and has better contrast. Photo © Evan Pinkus.When the grain produced by choosing a high ISO starts to bother you, and you want sharp, high-contrast images like the pros get, and you are ready to earn a few bucks in this competitive field, it's time to upgrade. First, you need a DSLR with a fast burst rate and the processing power to let you keep shooting while images just captured are transferred to the memory card. (When you're shooting 100 RAW frames at 10 fps, this becomes a real issue.) Full-frame DSLRs such as the Nikon D4 and Canon Canon EOS-1D X are sports shooter favorites that cost in the $6-7,000 range; you may want to consider lower-cost newcomers the Nikon D600 and Canon EOS-6D, both of which are available at Adorama for a little over $2,000 and are therefore within reach of weekend warriors and serious enthusiasts. (There are other factors in considering a pro-level DSLR, including autofocus speed and accuracy, which are beyond the scope of this article.) Now you need to haul glass: Fast fixed-focal length or (if you can afford 'em) high-end zoom lenses are necessary for the sharp, contrast pictures you desire. Look for zooms with a maximum aperture of f/2.8; this maximum aperture should remain constant throughout the zoom range. The engineering and extra glass elements that go into making this possible are what boost the prices of such lenses. Be prepared to spend over a grand in some cases. You can save a bundle by buying the slightly older, non-stabilized versions of these lenses. You won't really need stabilization in most cases anyway; here's why: Because these lenses are too heavy to handhold, you will also need to invest in a monopod. A tripod is too bulky to have with you in the field, and a monopod with a good ballhead will give you the right combination of stability and portability that you need. I recommend the Benro C38F Classic Monopod, Bogen-Manfrotto Professional, or the Bower VT6000 Duo Flex 2-in-1 monopods. (Depending on the model, you may also need to buy a ballhead so you move your camera more easily. If the features do not list a ballhead, you'll need to buy one.)

Sizing Tips
Label says one size fits most, 90-160 lbs. We found they stretch fabulously and comfortably fit a 26 inch thigh while still reaching high enough to be clipped onto garters.
Additional Info: These won't stay up well without garters.
Made in Taiwan.
Fiber Content: 100% nylon.
Hand wash, drip dry.
Label: Leg Avenue
Cuban Heeled Two-Tone Stockings is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by delightedly from Fantastic stockings! These are fantastic stockings. They are quite thick for stockings and totally opaque, and my six strap garter belt keeps them up all day; the tops don't slip easily out of garter clips. Love the four lines that make up the cuban heel, very sweet details. Due to the thickness, these are actually sturdy enough that they have managed a wash or two in the washing machine in a delicate bag when I have been lazy, and I have never snagged them after owning them for a year! The only precaution is that the cuban heel and backseam do get that kind of fuzzy look at the edges over time, but is really only something you will notice. It can probably be minimized if you hand wash them. If you are taller, these may be a bit short on you; I am 5"4 and they come just past halfway up my thigh but do want to sink down a bit over the course of the day.

Not everything needs to be fast in order to be effective. From the casting platform on a drift boat, what matters most is accuracy. The small number of anglers that can put flies within an inch of the bank are the ones who are catching the majority of the fish. So when you find yourself dropping a Copper John from a Chernobyl Ant during hopper season on some western river, use a rod that will give you an added advantage and a feeling unlike any other. Use the 6-weight, 9' Helios 2. Your cast will thank you. Proudly made in Manchester, Vermont.
Why would we take the world's best fly rod and change it? The answer is simple. We're driven by constant improvement. Put this rod in your hands and feel the rush. You'll completely understand.

Can't believe I am the first to review such an awesome product but here goes. I began drooling once the opening the package in my backyard. Amazed with how light and easy to use the rod is plus stoked with the tube! The line is supple and smooth wound in the reel ready to go. Only wish the reel were made domestically like the rod...

Joy Global Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Operating Results
The timing of mine expansion projects has a major impact on our company outlook, and we expect these projects to continue to move slowly and to be lumpy. Many of our customers have new management, and their focus has moved from volume to returns. They are systematically re-evaluating all of their capital expenditures, and this continues to delay decisions. We maintain a project list of mine expansion prospects that we expect to reach equipment selection in the next twelve months. Our customers' reassessment of their capital expenditures has created increased activity with the projects on this list. A number of projects have been delayed outside the horizon tracked by this report, but there have also been a significant number of projects moved onto the list. As a result, this list has stabilized during the current quarter, after several quarters of sequential declines. The quality of the list has also substantially improved. In combination, this raises our outlook. This is consistent with other leading indicators, such as electricity demand and steel production in China and construction activity in the U.S.
However, we think it will take time before those leading indicators translate into increased capital expenditures by our customers. Our customers will let demand improvement reduce the supply surplus and provide pricing support before they add capacity. This means that unless projects are already deep in process, decisions are not likely to be made before the second half of this year, and therefore will not impact our revenues before next year.
When all of these factors are considered, we expect our base order rates, before major projects, to remain effectively flat at recent run rates throughout this fiscal year. In addition, we feel confident that at least one or two major projects will add to 2013 bookings. We expect our aftermarket orders to recover from the first quarter levels, but they may not reach last year's level for the full year. Our restructuring cost reduction initiatives remain on track, and will enable us to maintain our target for decremental operating margins. As a result, we continue to be comfortable with our previous guidance of earnings per fully diluted share between $5.75 and $6.35 on revenues of $4.9 billion to $5.2 billion, including $25 million of planned restructuring charges in 2013 with resulting savings not realized until 2014."

What's your doughnut?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 1:51pm
Today someone brought 3 dozen assorted donuts to the office. So the topic is, which one do you choose? My favorite, the chocolate dipped one, was not available without sprinkles (GRRRR). The plant engineer noticed that the caramel dipped ones had more aroma than the others. My co-worker in the next office only likes the cake donuts, which I don't like at ALL.
But now I've had too many donuts to worry about having lunch. What's your favorite?
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 2:29pm
I am a filled doughnut. I like jelly or cream filled. But it has to be a red jelly, no lemon filled- yuck. And I can't be custard filled- yuck.
Those are the only kinds I have zero willpower over. I can say no to the others all day long.
I do like the cake ones though, and would take one of those over a regular one every time.

Rashad McCants was not the only UNC men's basketball player from the 2005 national championship team who relied heavily on African studies classes that didn't meet, according to whistleblower Mary Willingham, who tutored athletes during that period.
Data she provided to The News & Observer show that five members of that team, including at least four key players, accounted for a combined 39 enrollments in classes that have been identified as confirmed or suspected lecture classes that never met. The data also show that the five athletes accounted for 13 enrollments that were accurately identified as independent studies.
Those classes are also suspect because for much of the last decade, the department offered far more independent studies than it could properly supervise, previous reviews have shown.
The revelation of the classes, plus McCants' interview broadcast Friday by ESPN, are the strongest links between the basketball program and the academic scandal that has stretched into its third year.
Enrollment in the 52 classes averages out to 10 no-show or independent studies per student during their time at UNC. That's a quarter of the classes it typically takes to earn a bachelor's degree.
All of those enrollments resulted in nothing less than a B for the players. They accounted for 34 grades of A-minus or better.
Willingham said she obtained the data from student enrollment records to which she had access as an adviser. She did not provide names to match to the grades and classes.
She said she became aware of the heavy use of the no-show classes while working as a learning specialist for the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes from 2003 to 2010.
"Not only did we have a paper class system ... but we used that system as a model for eligibility," Willingham said Friday. "Those were the classes that helped their GPAs so they would stay academically eligible and NCAA eligible."
Since at least the early 1990s, the university has had a policy on "special studies" courses that allows no more than 12 hours of such classes toward graduation. The high numbers of no-show enrollments and independent studies raise questions as to whether that limit was exceeded.
Efforts to reach key players and others on the 2005 team over the past few weeks were unsuccessful. Several on the team carried majors from the African studies department.
One of those players, Sean May, told the Indianapolis Star four years ago that he chose African studies over communications because it involved less class time.
African studies, May said, offered "more independent electives, independent study. I could take a lot of classes during the season. Communications, I had to be there in the actual classroom."
Waiting for Wainstein
On Friday, ESPN reported that one of the stars on that teams, McCants, confirmed being in many no-show classes during his time on the team and that they were used to help keep him eligible to play.
In one case, the data obtained by The N&O show one athlete took three independent studies and one no-show class in the spring of 2005, while the team was making its run for a national championship. That athlete received straight A-minuses for the classes. McCants told ESPN he took nothing but "paper" classes that semester and made the Dean's List.
The N&O reported in 2012 that the men's basketball team in 2004-05 accounted for 15 accurately named independent studies enrollments.
UNC-Chapel Hill officials and UNC system President Tom Ross could not be reached for comment about the team's reliance on no-show classes and other suspect independent studies. Spokespeople for both issued statements reminding the public that they had hired Kenneth Wainstein, a former top U.S. Justice Department official, to investigate the fraud.
Joel Curran, UNC-CH's vice chancellor for communications and public affairs, also said that federal privacy laws prevented the university from commenting on an individual student's academic record.
"We also cannot speculate on the accuracy or completeness of what others are saying about individual transcripts," Curran said. "We have recognized that legitimate questions have been raised about academic and athletic irregularities, which is why in February we asked former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein to conduct an independent investigation and follow the facts wherever they lead."
Wainstein said in a statement that McCants' claims are "directly relevant" to his investigation.
Violation of privacy?
The News & Observer contacted Willingham about the enrollments after she had tweeted on April 6 that five starters plus another player from the championship team had been in a combined 69 "paper" classes.
"(T)ruth=transcripts=transparency," Willingham said in the tweet.
That action drew criticism from UNC officials who said she had violated the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It keeps most student education records private, and it has repeatedly been cited by the university in withholding information related to the scandal.
The Faculty Athletics Committee issued a statement 11 days later calling for an investigation of Willingham's tweet for potential student privacy violations.
Willingham blew the whistle on the no-show classes in 2011. But she has run into trouble at the university since; her research into athlete literacy was halted in January because she had access to identifiable student records, and her findings were faulted by a three-member panel hired by UNC. She resigned from the university at the end of the academic year after a stormy meeting with Chancellor Carol Folt.
A review of Willingham's data shows that she is including several classes that were not identified in previous investigations as no-show classes. She said she counted them because she did not recall athletes having to attend the class to obtain credit.
One of the players was only in one of the classes that Willingham listed, so The N&O removed him from its count.
Willingham's data and McCants' claims are reminiscent of the transcript of football and basketball player Julius Peppers, which turned up on the university's website in 2012. Peppers' transcript showed that he was in five confirmed or suspected no-show classes, plus an independent study also determined to be bogus. He also had taken three other classes the university identifies as independent studies in the African studies department.

Hearing canceled for SpanosJanuary 30,2013Hearing canceled for Spanos
A hearing to weigh the evidence to hold accused murderer Alex Spanos in jail without the option of bail has been canceled.
Spanos, 24, pleaded innocent last week to a charge of second-degree murder in a case involving the death of 17-year-old Rutland High School student Carly Ferro.
Ferro was killed last fall in a crash on Cleveland Avenue in the city that police say was caused by Spanos who was allegedly huffing from an aerosol can to get high while driving.
Because Spanos is facing a potential lifetime jail sentence, prosecutors asked that he be held in jail without the option of bail until his trial. While Spanos has been incarcerated since the Sept. 26 crash on $200,000 bail, Spanos attorney requested a hearing that would have required the prosecution to reveal enough evidence to warrant holding him in jail.
But the hearing, scheduled to take place Tuesday, was canceled by Spanos defense attorney who withdrew the request for a hearing on Monday.MORE IN This Just InHAVANA Daniela Martinez long figured that someday she would leave the struggles of daily life...

Eyeballing Stave's competition
March, 3, 2013
By Vince Verhei | ESPN Insider
By September of his freshman season, Joel Stave had taken over as the starting quarterback of the Wisconsin Badgers. And he played well, averaging better than 9 yards per pass, with twice as many touchdowns (six) as interceptions (three) before his season ended with a broken collarbone against Michigan State. That doesn't mean, though that the Badgers will automatically return Stave to the starting lineup. ESPN.com Big Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg details the competition Stave will face for the starting role this offseason:

A Premiere At The Settlement Music School
May 6, 1992
By Daniel Webster, INQUIRER MUSIC CRITIC
If music is a rearrangement of something gone before, David Sanford's sources are as eclectic as Mahler's. The 29-year-old Pittsburgh native heard his Chamber Concerto No. 3 premiered Monday by Speculum Musicae in the new music series at the Settlement Music School. Sanford explained before the performance that he was grappling with 12-tone writing and its tonal applications and, in this work, with his flirtation with Schumann's Manfred, and with an irresistible tune - and its harmonic implications - by Charlie Mingus and Jack Walrath.
Settlement Music School Receives $1 Million Grant
May 22, 1986
By Linda Loyd, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Settlement Music School in Philadelphia has received the largest grant in its history - $1 million - to expand an innovative program for the handicapped that provides 800 students with therapy, education and social interaction. The $1 million grant is from the Samuel and Rebecca Kardon Foundation in Philadelphia, which is headed by Emanuel S. Kardon, chairman of American Packaging Co. and a longtime supporter of the 78-year-old school. "We just received the grant this month; it is specifically for our nationally recognized program for the handicapped," said James McClelland, director of development at the school, whose main branch is at 416 Queen St. in South Philadelphia.
Settlement Music School hires leader from Chicago
May 24, 2010
By Peter Dobrin, Inquirer Music Critic
Settlement Music School has done something it has rarely had to do in its 102-year history: hire a new executive director. Helen Eaton, 40, president and executive director of the Chicago Children's Choir, has been named to succeed Robert Capanna, who retired Dec. 31 after a 27-year tenure. When she starts at the end of August, Eaton will be only the sixth director of the school. The move from a children's choir to a community music school is not as far a leap as it might seem. The Chicago group serves more than 2,800 singers in its choirs and through programs in 45 schools.
Quint, Rachmanov Perform At Settlement Music School
June 2, 1990
By Daniel Webster, Inquirer Music Critic
Whatever stereotypes are current about Russian string playing were jostled last night when cellist Misha Quint and pianist Dmitri Rachmanov played their local debuts at the Settlement Music School. Quint, 30-year-old Leningrad native, and Rachmanov, 32, a Muscovite, had specialized in new Soviet music before leaving to take up residence in New York. Their program last night, sponsored by the Network for New Music, included the first local performance of Alfred Schnittke's Sonata, as well as the premiere of Philadelphian Matthew Greenbaum's Ordre (1990)
Jazz violinist Blake: 'Mr. Settlement Music School'
December 8, 2006
By SHAUN BRADY For the Daily News
Of all the former students of Settlement Music School who have been chosen for the centennial-celebrating Settlement 100, a selection of alums with interesting postgraduation stories to relate, Robert Capanna, the school's executive director, nominates John Blake as "Mr. Settlement Music School. " Not only did the jazz violinist attend the school, but so did his four brothers and sisters. And Blake has returned many times throughout the years to help promote music education for young people.

By Bonnie L. Cook, Inquirer Staff Writer
Italo Taranta, 86, of Drexel Hill, a music teacher, composer, and choral director, died Tuesday, Nov. 4, of complications from Alzheimer's disease at home. Born in Paganica in southern Italy, Mr. Taranta came to the United States as an infant and settled with his parents in southeastern Ohio before moving to Michigan. His parents had a difficult relationship; he escaped into the solace of music, although he struggled for years with migraine headaches and depression. "Rarely was there ever a person more passionate about something than my dad was about classical music.
John Blake Jr., 67, prominent jazz violinist
August 21, 2014
BY JOHN F. MORRISON, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5573
WHEN THE children of the Blake household in South Philly turned 6, they took piano lessons. "There were no ifs, ands or buts about it," said one of those kids, Charlotte Blake Alston. "You played the piano. " It was an edict from their mother, Carrie Blake, a church organist who knew the value of music to the human soul. Their father was a very literate letter carrier. Another of Carrie's children was John Blake Jr., who became an internationally renowned jazz violinist. He always acknowledged that his love of music began in the pews of Holy Trinity Baptist Church in South Philadelphia.

The Hooters' Uosikkinen celebrates Philly with some friends
April 22, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
The premise is simple: David Uosikkinen leads his bandmates in the Hooters, along with a coterie of this city's finest rock-and-soul players, through a project of his own devising, a catalog of his favorite Philadelphia-rooted songs. You can argue with Uosikkinen's choices, but you can't argue with his enthusiasm or reach ("I Ain't Searchin' ", from Philly late-1960s favorite the American Dream is alone worth the price of admission). Under the moniker In the Pocket, Uosikkinen's shifting collective ensemble released its tracks online (to benefit the Settlement Music School)
Closing in on proof of arts' value to kids

By Peter Dobrin, Inquirer Culture Writer
For four years, Ellie D.

More than 24,000 times, the West Chester University associate professor of psychology and her colleagues have reached into the mouths of 500 children at Settlement Music School's Kaleidoscope Head Start program and a nearby control school to measure cortisol, the hormone associated with stress levels.
Pianist Artymiw's Ukrainian program overtaken by events
March 2, 2014
By Daniel Webster, For The Inquirer
Bloody street riots changed the context of Lydia Artymiw's recital Thursday at the American Philosophical Society. The Philadelphia-born pianist submitted her program a year ago to showcase music by five Ukrainian composers as part of her own heritage. Events in Kiev transformed these works from a personal statement of cultural brotherhood to an elegy for a nation in pain. The five pieces, in minor keys and modal echoes written in the 19th and 20th centuries, etched a portrait of sorrow, frost, and snow.
Jazzman Wallace Roney still evolving at 53
October 25, 2013
By Karl Stark, Inquirer Staff Writer
In July, trumpeter Wallace Roney and a big band debuted "Universe," a piece that saxophonist Wayne Shorter wrote in 1968 for the Miles Davis Quintet, plus orchestra. Shorter had thought the piece was lost. In time, he found it and sent it to Roney, who worked for years to give it a proper birthing before succeeding at the Jazz Standard in New York. "We've been turned down by every record company, but we're trying," Roney said of the long-form, tuneful piece, which pulses with flutes, French and English horns, and bassoon.

The streets of Philadelphia will be more musical than usual on Friday. Outside 30th Street Station at 8 a.m., singer-guitarist Scot Sax will greet commuters in an interactive, bring-your-own-cowbell performance of Paul McCartney's "Silly Love Songs. " (Smartphone cowbell app participation is also encouraged.) That will be followed by the Settlement Music School's Kyo Daiko ensemble, banging on Japanese Taiko kettle drums. Those free performances, and more than 130 others at more than 50 venues throughout the city, will be part of Make Music Philly day, Philadelphia's first participation in National Music Day. The event, born in France, came to the United States in 2006 and has grown to include municipalities such as New York, Chicago, Santa Fe, N.M., and Kalamazoo, Mich.

THE CHANTS from families whose children attend Penn Alexander School were simple and blunt. "Ten more in! Ten more in!" the 60 adults and children yelled Wednesday outside a University Council meeting at the University of Pennsylvania. The group braved the chilly temperatures to demand that 10 students, wait-listed to attend the prestigious K-to-8 school under a new district-imposed lottery system, be allowed to enroll. "Broken Compact, Broken Families, Broken Community" read one sign.

Beautiful is spelled "M-o-d-e-r-n W-a-r-f-a-r-e"
Call of Duty 4 is here. This is the third game in the Call of Duty franchise created by developer Inifinty Ward (Call of Duty 3 was created by Treyarch respectfully) While many felt that the Call of Duty series was going no where, Infinity Ward decides to take a very smart and rewarding path. Why stick to WWII? WWII is an over used genre. Even though the games to come out for that genre have been great. It felt like everyone knew what was bound to happen before playing the game. Call of Duty 4 is the most intense shooter out to date. In my opinion.
Graphics: All throughout the game the graphics are stunning. The glow on the models, the high detail in the environment, models, and weapons draw you into the experiece. The graphics do a great job in making you believe that you are really in that battle. The animation is superb and the use of ragdoll is not needed. Of course there are minor letbacks. Some of the details up close may not look as impressive as others, but those are few and far between. A.I : Impressive all around. They use cover when needed, throw tons of grenades, and even try to flank you at times. Ocassionaly there is the one brave soul who decides to run toward while being shot at from all sides. But nothing serious at all. Your squad works great in saving your neck and telling you the status of the battle field. Enemies will yell out if their comrades have fallen or if they need support. The developers did a great job on making you believe your actually fighting soldiers.
Sound: The sound is to superior for the review. Buy the game, blast the speakers, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
SinglePlayer: While only about 5-6 hours on the normal (which I played) difficulty setting. Those hours are nonstop action and tension between you and the world inside the game. It would've been nice to see more hours put into the game. But the arcade mode is a good reason to go back. The arcade mode basically gives you points for kills and other challenges in the game. Example: shoot some bad guys, and see +10 over their heads. Congrats, you just got 10 points. Get the idea? Also, everything is basically through FIRST PERSON. Even ****SPOILER****** The death of a president is all played through first person *****END SPOILER****** The most intense COD singleplayer.
Multiplayer: 16 maps, very customizable settings, and challenges put on top of that makes this multiplayer a great addition to the game. If it was not for the impressive deep multiplayer, the game might have not scored so well. The multiplayer has a full on stat/scoring system based on numerous things going on during multiplayer. You can customize your class, change your weapons, unlock new weapons, camoflague, and also Perks. Perks, are advantages that if you unlock, you can use on the battle field. Such as, pulling out a pistol when shot down to blow some shells into the enemies chest just before dying. Or dropping a grenade everytime you die. These additions are impressive, but nothing to huge to change the outcome of the battle. There are challeneges in the multiplayer that require you to learn the skill of the weapons in the game. Have fun and see you out there.
Negative Aspects: Infinity Ward need to keep making high quality games like this one. The only bothersome aspect of the single-player game is that it is pretty short. But even then, it offers the most intense 4-6 you will ever get in a single-player game. Basically, 10 minutes of COD4 is as intense as 2 hours of any other great game.
OVERALL: The strong compelling singleplayer followed by the deep and impressive multiplayer makes COD 4 the game to own. Yet there is no reason for the singleplayer part to be so short, half the time of most games. But the multiplayer does make up for it. The "photo-realistic" graphics are impressive and next-gen. Buy it, play it, love it. As I said for COD 2, if you are a fan of the COD series, or just a fan of shooters in general, this game is a MUST buy.

Taking the initiative is a desirable trait
Leading the Way
"maddog" describes how forging your own path can sometimes lead to better results than simply following instructions.
Often, the first step in consulting is to interview, and be interviewed by, the client to see if a best fit exists. During a recent interview with a potential client, I spoke of some of my lesser known exploits and, after a while, the interviewer smiled and said, "You initiate things on your own … you do not wait to be told to do things. I like that." I found it interesting that he was the first person in a long time to pick up on what I believe is a desirable trait in an employee.
Back in about 1989, I was a Product Manager for the Ultrix-32 operating system from Digital Equipment Corporation. The company was distributing Ultrix-32, a bare-bones Unix system, on three TK50 tape cartridges. The TK50 was at that time a Digital proprietary streaming tape cartridge called "Digital Linear Tape" that held approximately 95MB of data. Each cartridge cost about US$ 100 to purchase and manufacture, so the entire distribution cost about US$ 300 to make, and we sold the distribution for US$ 1,200.
At that time, CD-ROMs were starting to make their way into the computer industry. In those days, if you wanted to master a CD-ROM in a hurry (a week turnaround time), it cost about US$ 100,000 to do the master, then US$ 5 each for the first 1,000 CDs, and the costs went down rapidly after that.
The use of TK50 tape did not allow for an easy installation because you only had the RAM memory of the machine to hold programs for tailoring the disk and readying the disk for installation. As a product manager, I theorized that we could boot a CD-ROM and run off the CD-ROM as a disk, having all the tools on the CD-ROM to tailor the disk before doing the actual distribution. This might seem obvious in the day of the "Live CD," but at the time, the idea was revolutionary.
Unfortunately, the emerging standards for ISO-9660 were set up to reflect only MS-DOS and VMS styles of filesystems, with eight uppercase characters and a three-letter extension for file names, only eight levels of directory structure, and various other issues that prevented "Unix-like" filesystems.
Andrew Young of "Young Minds" authored the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol proposal, which layered on top of ISO-9660 and provided extensions like 255-character file names (in both upper and lower case), symbolic links, and other POSIX requirements. Young contacted me, and I went to talk to the editor of the ISO-9660 standard of that time – a Digital employee working for VMS. After a spirited discussion (some unkind people would have used the term "blackmail"), the editor agreed to consider the extensions.
Now the CD-ROM standard included everything Unix needed, but my own management refused to put this type of support into the operating system, citing no customer demand and saying we were too close to field test of the release to put in new functionality.
I was contacted by Paul Shaughnessy,1 a young engineer in the Ultrix group, who informed me that he had most of the Rock Ridge functionality in the kernel already. It was "latent support," meaning, if you did not try to use the code, it did not affect anything.
Gleefully, I waited until after field test was distributed and then pointed out to management what Paul had done. Furious that we had "jeopardized field test," management did agree to let us access some already existing CD-ROMs manufactured to the CD-ROM standard. Paul's code worked flawlessly.
I kept careful track of who tested the code throughout the field test. There were no issues with properly created CD-ROMs following either the formal ISO-9660 standard or the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (RRIP) that later became IEEE P1282, an extension to ISO-9660.
I participated in writing the Software Product Description, the legal document detailing the supported parts of the release and the functionality, improving the description of the CD-ROM functionality, stating we could always remove it at the last minute if the functionality failed field test.
At the end of the field test, we decided to support the code officially. The engineering manager came up to me and said, "You did it again, maddog! You managed to get functionality in without having a plan." I only smiled.

color correction - digital vibrance
hi ... in my NVIDIA driver options in windoze there is an option in nview for color correction called digital vibrance ... i like to set this to high as the colors in video and games look more vivid..
my question is: Is there an equivalent option for the NVIDIA linux drivers and if so, how do i set it? How can i make it so its always set?
any reply''s / help greatly appreciated :-)
This option exists for linux too but it works a little different. On windows you can change Digitalvibrance on the fly. On linux digitalvibrance is a special option for the XF86Config(-4) file. To activate the changes you need to restart X.
To use DVC add a line:
Option "DigitalVibrance" "x" to your screen or device section of your XF86Config(-4) file.
Where "x" is 0 (0ff), 1(low), 2(medium) or 3(high).
I was wondering if there is any option to set brightness and contrast from the driver like in windows. For some reason the screen comes from the factory way too bright. I tried to set the OSD controls on my screen at 0 for brightness and contrast and it is still too bright.
I also tried the xgamma -gamma X.X command, that help a lot , but it is still too bright. I am getting very frustrated here, linux is great, but I cant stand that brightness. Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
What were you using for a gamma value? I believe the lowest is 0.001 (at least, the man page says they're passed with 3 digits of accuracy -- I'm just not sure on whether they can be negative or not)...
My values for xgamma are as follows:
[root@amd root]# xgamma
-> Red 0.500, Green 0.500, Blue 0.500
Any advice will be appreciatted.
Well, try setting it to 0.05 instead of 0.5. That'll be ten times less bright as it is currently, that should help at least a bit...

"Mama's" Gets The Royal Treatment
BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oskar Blues, the pioneer of the craft beer in cans revolution, has teamed up with can maker Ball Corporation (NYSE: BLL) to offer its popular Mama's Little Yella Pils in Ball's Royal Pint (568-mL or 19.2-oz.) can. Oskar Blues launched the Czech-style pilsner in the supersized can at the recent Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130408/LA89577)
"The larger 568-mL can, or 'Stovepipe' as we call it, is a perfect package for Mama's Little Yella Pils," said Chad Melis, marketing director for Oskar Blues Brewery. "With the success last year of Dale's Pale Ale in the Royal Pint, putting the gently hopped and low alcohol (ABV just 5.3%) Mama's in the larger, easily recyclable can was a natural progression, and it allows our consumers to take it places glass can't go."
The new Royal Pint will feature the same signature graphics as the Mama's Little Yella Pils 12-oz. aluminum can. Ball is the only can manufacturer in North America who makes the Royal Pint, which is approximately the height of a 24-oz. can and the diameter of a 16-oz. can. With the launches of Dale's Pale Ale and Mama's Little Yella Pils in the Royal Pint, Oskar Blues is the first brewer in North America – craft or otherwise – to package beer in the sleek-looking, single-serve can." Oskar Blues recognized the beer-protecting benefits of cans more than 10 years ago, and have continued to partner with Ball to pioneer the category with the Royal Pint," said Robert M. Miles, senior vice president, sales, for Ball's metal beverage packaging division, Americas. "Packaging is an important component of branding, and the 568-mL can offers our North American customers a way to distinguish their brands. And with the aluminum can's ability to block out light and oxygen, craft brewers achieve their ultimate goal of delivering better tasting beer to their consumers." Founded by Dale Katechis in 1997 as a brew pub and grill, Oskar Blues Brewery launched its craft-brewed beer canning operations in 2002 in Lyons, Colo. Oskar Blues was the first American Craft Brewery to brew and can its beer. Visit www.oskarblues.com for more information. Ball Corporation is a supplier of high quality packaging for beverage, food and household products customers, and of aerospace and other technologies and services, primarily for the U.S. government. Ball Corporation and its subsidiaries employ approximately 15,000 people worldwide and reported 2012 sales of more than $8.7 billion.
