Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Notre Dame to Celebrate 5th Annual Eucharistic Procession
April 23rd, 2009
Cardinal Newman Society (www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/) The tradition of the Eucharistic Procession was revived at Notre Dame in 2005. MANASSAS, Va. (Cardinal Newman Society) – Notwithstanding the ongoing scandal of the commencement honor slated for President Obama, the University of Notre Dame will host the 5th annual Eucharistic Procession this Sunday, in cooperation with Saint Mary's College and Holy Cross College."We thank the organizers of this beautiful devotion and encourage those praying for the end of the Notre Dame scandal to also join their hearts in reverence before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament this Sunday," said Patrick Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society, whose petition at NotreDameScandal.com has surpassed 330,000 signers. The tradition of the Eucharistic Procession was revived at Notre Dame in 2005. In years past a procession was held on the Feast of Corpus Christi. This year's procession will take place on Sunday, April 26, 2009. The Eucharistic Procession, to be led by Rev. Patrick Neary (Rector of Moreau Seminary), will take place on Notre Dame's "God quad." It will begin with Holy Mass at Notre Dame's Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The procession will stop at each of the four altars of Benediction located in front of statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady of the University, Father Sorin, and on the steps of the Administrative Building. A 40-hours devotion organized by Children of Mary will be held in the hours leading up to the Mass and Eucharistic Procession. According to the Notre Dame Procession website, "In addition to the praise and honor we offer to Jesus Christ fully present in the Blessed Sacrament, we pray for these intentions: A greater respect for and protection of human life, from conception to natural death; An increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life, especially in the Congregation of Holy Cross; For blessings upon the students, faculty, administration, and staff of Holy Cross College, Saint Mary's College, and the University of Notre Dame." The entire University of Notre Dame community, as well as the general public, are invited to participate in the Eucharistic Procession.

Kotaku has landed on a promotional shot of Assassin's Creed III, thanks to their sources inside Best Buy (of all places!). The shot features an Assassin donning an 18th-century military jacket, an axe, a shotgun (?), and a belt full of arrows. A Betsy Ross flag, America's first official flag after independence, makes the backdrop.
If legitimate, it confirms previous rumors of the game based around the American Revolution. Ubisoft is expected to announce the game before the end of March, with a release coming some time this year.

I just got a great buy on a 5" tibouchina urvilleana. I already had 2 - 18" plants and just love them. The problem is that this one is so big that it will have to stay outside this winter. I'm planning to buy a gigantic container, fill the bottom with mulch, then the plant in it's planter, then more mulch on the sides and some on top. I have a place where it should be somewhat protected from the weather, while still getting sun. Think this will work???? (Keep your fingers crossed!!!LOL) Anyway, when do I start cutting this plant back and how far? How do I take cuttings and when should I do this? And lastly, is there a webpage that has all the details in the growing and propagation (preferably in simple English for newbies...) for plants? Thank you for any and all help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
A cool sunporch with temps that stay above freezing would work. Since the plant is considered reliably hardy only to zone 9, you'll need some type of protection beyond what you're already considering. Try a google.com search under tibouchina urvilleana. Softwood cuttings are relatively easy to root. |
Tibouchina is not one of the subtropicals that will reaact well to forced dormancy in unheated, unlit conditions. As Eric mentions, it would do considerably better if placed in a cool sunporch over the winter, where it gets bright light and can be kept above freezing. It easily tolerates the occasional light frost here in northern California, and will continue blooming all winter long as long as the night time temps generally stay above 40F, and will come back from the roots if well established in the ground, at temps at least down to 24F. It will tend to burn all foliage off and lose most smaller branches at temps which will also freeze Brugmansia. Your salvation my come in the knowledge that it responds well to hard pruning, and can be cut back to the ground here and regrow rather rapidly in one season, once it warms up again and is goosed with the proper fertilizer. So if you need to cut it back to bring inside, you can safely do so, but don't try to force it into winter dormancy, it just won't work... |

Need Help Not easy to find information on this plant? Would like too start from seed. Any idea on time? Will it be easier just too find some rooted cutting? Did some soft wood cuttings in August did not have success. |

Hirsch, Chief Hydrologist, USGS" (by way of Jan Arneson) Subject: WRD Memorandum No. 98.03--Pricing Policy for Information Products and Services provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division Cc: " WRD Archive File, " The following WRD Memorandum 98.03 is being distributed by hard copy with attachments. The memo follows without attachments. In Reply Refer To: Mail Stop 441 July 31, 1998 WATER RESOURCES DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO. 98.03 Subject: Pricing Policy for Information Products and Services provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division The following policy provides guidelines for recovering the full cost of information products and services provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Water Resources Division (WRD). Guidelines contained in this policy are effective October 1, 1998, and rescind WRD Memorandum No. 86.71, dated June 18, 1986. Policy It is WRD's policy to recover full costs for the sale of information products and for providing services to the Federal and non-Federal sector. Full cost recovery includes all direct and indirect costs to any part of the Federal Government for providing a good, resource, or service (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 134, 1993, p. 38145). The policy covers pricing information products and services provided to customers through conventional means such as the telephone, written communications, floppy disks, etc., as well as the distribution of data and information over the Internet. Also discussed are general policy guidelines and exceptions (such as for educational purposes) to the WRD pricing policy. Pricing Information Products. In implementing this pricing policy, the price of products will be set at a level that will recover reproduction and distribution costs. These costs include direct and indirect costs associated with the dissemination of information products. Costs will not be recovered for activities associated with collecting the data, processing the data to ensure accuracy, analyzing the data, or establishing databases for archiving the data. Actual costs should be recovered for media used to provide water data and water information to customers. For example, when supplying a user with a magnetic tape containing water data, the actual cost of the magnetic tape and mailing or shipping charges are added to the labor costs for processing the data request. Services. User fees will be charged for providing services to the Federal and non-Federal sector. The user fees will be set at a level to recover the full costs associated with providing the service to a specific recipient. Wherever possible, user fees shall be set as rates rather than fixed dollar amounts in order to reflect changes in costs to WRD for the reproduction and distribution of water data and information. For example, personnel services provided by WRD should be charged at a rate of dollars per hour. The customer requesting data should be notified of the estimated time required to process the data request. Distribution of Data and Information Over the Internet No costs will be recovered for information posted to the Internet for all to use. This includes metadata about the USGS, fact sheets, reports, and other traditionally free products, including published water data from the districts. Fees will be charged for making data sets available to a specific customer. For example, a customer may request a batch file of data which requires the USGS employee to download the data, organize it, and place the data in the depot of a file server in order for the customer to use the File Transfer Protocol (ftp) to obtain the data from the file server. The customer is charged on an hourly basis for making the data available to them. Pricing schedules for information products and services provided by the WRD are shown in Tables 1 and 2 of the attachment. General Policy Guidelines The following are general guidelines for pricing water data and information requests: 1. The WRD's Pricing Schedule does not apply to the processing of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. These requests are processed using the U.S. Department of the Interior's uniform pricing schedule for FOIA requests. See the Code of Federal Regulations, 43 CFR, 1997 ed., Pt. 2, Appendix A. However, if a customer makes a FOIA request for water information and data that are available for sale to the public at prices set in an established fee schedule, the customer will be notified that the information and data are available for sale at prices established by the fee schedule. This request is then processed under the WRD pricing policy and not the FOIA. 2. Customers will be charged a minimum fee of $100 for processing water information and data requests requiring over 30 minutes to process. Customers will not be charged for requests taking less than 30 minutes to process. Exceptions to the Water Resources Division's Pricing Policy Cost recovery fees can be waived for the following organizations, persons, and situations if it is determined that waiving the fees will be in the public interest: o USGS cooperators - current and past o congressional requests o for any person if the information request can be processed in a short period of time (less than 30 minutes) by conducting a short telephone conversation, photocopying a few pages, or distributing a report. Cost recovery fees can also be waived for data and information provided to further bona fide outreach activities. Examples are data or information provided to: o K-12 students or teachers o Public libraries o College teachers for instructional use o Educational activities of nonprofit organizations and college students o Potential cooperators, for program development Reference 1.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Toby!
Facts about Toby
- Breed: Great Dane
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Male
Toby's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
"Hi, I'm Toby. I'm 5 years old and would love to hang out with you. One of my favorite things to do is ride in the car and take walks. Oh, and you should see me dance when I get treats. It's pretty funny actually. I'm a big boy and would love a nice couch or your lap to sit in." For more info on Toby, please see our website. Adoption procedure and requirements are also posted and an application for adoption can be downloaded.
Other Pets at Great Dane Rescue Of the Commonwealth
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Toby, a Virginia Beach Great Dane dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Great Dane for sale in Virginia Beach, or seeking a Great Dane dog from a breeder in Virginia Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Virginia Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Virginia Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Great Dane breeders who help with Great Dane rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Virginia Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Some very serious questions are arising regarding whether or not Fort Knox still has all the gold that is supposed to be stored in its vaults. Below is presented some information on the subject by various sources. Updates will be posted as information becomes available.
June 6, 2012
James Rickards, author of Currency Wars, believes the U.S. has all the gold it says it does (8,133 tonnes) and explains that the reason why an audit is being denied and downplayed is simply part of their strategy to keep gold's true importance from being divulged. Furthermore, with all the rehypothecation of gold through swaps and leasing arrangements, they want to "avoid all of the awkward legal title questions that would arise once the physical existence issue was settled." Read the article at US News.

By broadcasting the documentary below, the History Channel has not only raised public awareness, but has illuminated the fact that the precious metals markets are rigged and have been for a very long time!!! (Also see America's Book of Secrets – Fort Knox on Hulu for even more insights.)

Voigtländer 12mm f/5.6
Aspherical Ultra-Wide Heliar
This subject will be featured in a forthcoming issue of The Luminous Landscape Video Journal.
The World's Widest Lens
Has the sameness of everyday photography got ya down Bunky? Bored with the lenses that you're currently using? Does that 21mm super-wide of yesteryear seem a little tame these days?
Well, have I got a lens for you!
Voigtländer, a name from the past, has reemerged during the past couple of years and has brought forth a number of interesting new cameras and lenses. These include three Leica lens compatible cameras, the Bessa R, the Bessa L and the Bessa T. They have a large assortment of fascinating and reasonably priced screw mount lenses available as well.
These bodies and lenses are actually made by Cosina, a Japanese company that does a lot of OEM manufacturing for various brand-name companies as well as selling product under their own name. They have obtained the venerable pre-WW2 Austrian photographic equipment maker's name and have applied it to this new range of rangefinder cameras and lenses. I have the Bessa T which I use exclusively with the 12mm Heliar and which I have reviewed elsewhere on this site.
The lenses in the Voigtländer line offer users on a budget an alternative to Leica's expensive glass, and frankly the lenses look to be much better made than the bodies, (though the Bessa T appears to be somewhat better made than the previous two bodies). This is fortunate because Cosina has not heretofore been noted as one of the makers of high-end gear. It looks like the labeling of this new line with the historic Voigtländer name is an attempt to elevate themselves into a more refined strata. The lenses at least appear to make this not unbelievable.
121 Degrees
Leica M6 TTL with M-Motor and 12mm f/5.6
This lens can cover 121 degrees horizontally. This is the widest rectilinear coverage of any lens ever made for a 35mm cameras. Anything this wide until now has always been a fisheye. (For a comparison with other 35mm wide angle lenses, see Battle of the Ultrawides).
Because the lens is designed for a rangefinder camera it doesn't have to deal with the long image throw retrofocus design needed to work on an SLR. Having only an f/5.6 maximum aperture also makes this a much smaller lens than its slightly narrower 14mm f/2.8 SLR competitors; the 14mm lenses from Canon, Nikon, Tamron and Sigma. (Indecently, this same ultra-wide angle of coverage is also available in medium format with a Horseman SW612, a 6X12 back and the Rodenstock 35mm Apo-Grandagon f/5.6 lens.)
It is comprised of 10 elements in 8 groups, with one of the surfaces being molded glass aspheric. The Heliar comes with a Leica screw mount, just the thing for use on a pre-war Leica, or a contemporary Bessa body. But, with the addition of an relatively inexpensive screw to bayonet mount adaptor it can be used on any M series camera.
Built quality appears to be very good. This is a metal, not a plastic lens and materials and workmanship are first rate. Not what one usually expects from Cosina. Not quite Leica quality, but quite fine indeed. Aperture click stops are positive and there are even click stops on the focusing ring at certain pre-set positions, simplifying zone focusing. This lens does not couple to the Leica's or the Bessa's rangefinder, because depth of field is so huge as to render fine focusing moot. There is a small lever attached to the focusing ring, which is a nice touch, and the lens comes with a metal lens shade which firmly attaches with a thumb screw.
The lens also comes with a shoe-mount viewfinder. Given how hard it is to make a really good wide-angle viewfinder, I'm impressed. The case is of all-metal construction, and with the eye centered there is excellent coverage and definition.
Initial Impressions (July, 2001)
This is not your father's wide angle lens! It makes a 20mm lens look like a telephoto. This means though that this is not a lens for everyday application. In fact, while it's exciting to use, creating worthwhile images with it that aren't "gimmicky" is going to be tough.
First impressions:
At f/5.6 and f/8 it vignettes pretty seriously, and even stopped down further vignetting is a serious issue. (See below for more on this.) All wide angle lenses vignette somewhat and usually improve considerably when stopped down. The Heliar does improve slightly, but dark corners are going to be a way of life with this lens unless a center filter is used. As for sharpness, contrast and other image quality criteria, a handful of rolls of film isn't yet enough to render a firm judgment. It's decent, but not in Leica ASPH territory by any means. Again, I'll have more to say and more examples as time passes.
Photographed with a Leica M6 TTL and 12mm f/5.6 Voigtländer Heliar on Provia 100F. 1/4sec @ f/8
This was one of the first photographs I took with the 12mm Heliar. My associate Chris Sanderson, the Producer and Director of the Video Journal and I were just finishing lunch on the day after I first received the lens. Of course I had to take it to the restaurant with me.
The shot was hand held (as you can see) using a 1/4 second exposure. If you look at the enlarged version you'll see that it really is remarkably crisp. The edge fall-off is nicely hidden by the subject matter. You should realize that Chris was not more than 2 feet away from me across the table, yet the feeling of spaciousness is quite remarkable. Even though he is near the center of the frame there is still a moderate amount of perspective distortion, but of course you can see how this becomes further exaggerated toward the edges of the frame by looking at the lens cap on the table right in front of me. This really is a round, not an egg-shaped lens cap.
Brickworks — Toronto: July, 2001
Photographed with a Leica M6 TTL and 12mm f/5.6 Voigtländer Heliar on Provia 100F. Quadtone conversion in Photoshop.
This shot is part of a new series that I'm working on called the Urban Landscape. The photograph was taken the first day I started using the 12mm Heliar. The ground in front of me is about 12 inches away yet depth of field nicely extends to infinity. The corner vignetting is clearly visible, though not too severe since the lens was stopped down to about f/11. (The sky darkening was due to the use of only the red channel in Channel Mixer in Photoshop).
In the weeks and months ahead I will display additional photographs taken with the 12mm Heliar and will point out here any that form part of other portfolios on this site.
Through The Looking Glass
The 12mm Voigtländer lens and its sibling the 15mm Heliar both require the use of their provided auxiliary viewfinders. Both also need to be held absolutely level for the horizon line to not end up bowed in your photographs.
Many ultrawide cameras and lenses ship with a viewfinder that contains a bubble level. The viewfinder for the Hasselblad 30mm lens, for example, has a bubble directly inside the viewfinder.
Voigtländer has taken a different approach. They make available a bubble level (about $105 from Robert White), and also a double shoe adaptor for another $53.
The double shoe adaptor is needed so that the viewfinder and the bubble level can be used simultaneously. The way the bubble level is designed, with ones eye positioned at the viewfinder for framing the image the bubble is simultaneously visible out of the corner of ones eye. A very clever design indeed. I regard these two accessories as must-haves if you purchase a 12mm Heliar.
It's a law of optics that all lenses vignette somewhat and very wide angle lenses vignette quite a bit. The 12mm Heliar is no exception. Ultrawide lenses traditionally reduce this through the use of center filters. Some people, particularly those working in B&W, tend not to be overly concerned about vignetting. In some cases it enhances the look of certain images. I intend using this lens for certain urban-environmental as well landscape applications in colour, and therefore need to find a solution to the vignetting problem.
Voigtländer has created a 77mm adaptor ring for the 12mm Heliar, (expensive at approx $75). It replaces the supplied lens shade and permits the use of any 77mm filter without cutoff. Quite nicely designed, and as you can see it even features a cutout for the viewfinder window.
This makes possible the use of a center ND filter but raises a couple of issues. The first is that this makes the lens slower by 2 stops, (f/11 instead of f5.6). Since this camera will be used mainly hand-held this is a deterrent, though not unmanageable. The second issue is that there is no center ND filter made specifically for this lens.
I have a center ND filter which came with my Fuji G617 camera and its 150mm lens. Using it on the Heliar does a very nice job of eliminating the vignetting. Cosina does not currently offer such a filter but companies like Heleopan make them available, though at high prices.
Boy & Flyers — Toronto, August 2001
Photographed with a Voigtländer Bessa-T and 12mm Heliar on Provia 100F with Fuji Center ND filter. Converted to Duotone in Photoshop. See The Midway for more from this shoot.
Information and Pricing
Here is a link to the US distributor's web site where you can find more information on the Voigtländer camera and lens lineup.
As always, it pays to shop around. List price is about US $1,000 and US mail-order dealers are selling the lens for around $800 > $900. But, with a little shopping you can find it for less. Robert White, for example, a reputable UK-based dealer whom I've dealt with numerous times, has it for under $700.
Other Reviews
Chris Groenhout of Apogee Photo Magazine has the only other on-line review of the 12mm Heliar that I'm aware of at this time (July, 2001). Links to others will be added here as I learn of them.
The 3/2001 issue of Leica Fotograrafie magazine has a good review of the Heliar 12mm. Their conclusions are quite similar to mine.
I've owned and used M series Leicas for some 35 years. For many of those years I made a living as a photojournalist using an M2 and M3. My commentary on the latest M6 TTL camera and the lenses and accessories that I've selected for it can be found here.
Contax G owners will be pleased to learn that Zöerk, that estimable designer and manufacturer of weird and wonder lens adaptors, now has a conversion of both the 12mm and 15mm Heliars available for the Contax G.
March, 2002
A test report on the 12mm Heliar appeared in the April, 2002 issue of Popular Photography magazine. The magazine described the lens' performance as "one of the best ever recorded". While I agree that the lens is very good indeed, my experience is that they are typically not very hard markers.

[add comment] [edit] Michael Dowd & Catherine O'Keeffe [13 November 2013]Hi Artefacts, I've just seen your WeRelate entry on Michael Dowd and his wives, Mary Reynolds and Catherine O'Keeffe. I believe Michael and Catherine are my great-grandparents, but their youngest daughter Catherine (my late grandmother) is not listed after Eva on your account of the family. I believe Catherine was the only member of the family to remain in Ireland, as I have always heard that all her siblings emigrated to the USA (though I'm not sure if this relates to her full siblings only or to all her step-siblings too). I would be happy to share the information and sources I have with you, since you have provided me with so much material I was unaware of! Regards, DeepSleeper--DeepSleeper 22:58, 13 November 2013 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] [16 March 2014]Hi I have been reading through the recent discussion with interest, wondering how to add my two cents' worth, when I noted your Ontario examples. So this note is partly a hello from another WR user with an Ontario family. There aren't that many of us about. I didn't know that the French Canadian priests messed up the Irish homelands, but I think the Irish ones who came out to help them paid them back by misspelling places in Quebec. Have you seen WR's list of Quebec places? (I think that someone decided adding the accents was more important than getting the organization straight.) The problems of French Canadian and Irish priests providing information on their congregations merged in Mara Township (previously in Ontario County, now part of Ramara in Simcoe). An early contribution to WR has probably provided us with the whole Roman Catholic population of Mara Township. The inconsistencies there are beyond belief. I joined WeRelate in 2012. With almost half my family Ontario-born back to 1800 I soon found out that WR needed some education in how the province went together. Members from south of the border did not appear to have considered the concept that some state-equivalent places changed their names during the 19th century, much less did they realize that alterations to municipalities might occur post-1970. I was challenged numerous times with the problem of presenting WR with a birthplace such as [[Place:Markham (township), York, Upper Canada, Canada]] or [[Place:Pickering (township), Ontario, Canada West, Canada]]. Each time I hoped the automatic pipe would put it in the right place. It didn't always happen because the database had been poorly drawn up. Consequently I decided to spend several months of 2012 sorting out Ontario placepages (you have no idea of the number of familiar places which were in the "unknown" category when I started), county by county. One of my first work experiences in Toronto was to learn the townships in each Ontario county. Little did I know then how useful this knowledge would be once I discovered genealogy. I don't live in Canada any more and it was a bit of a shock to discover that since 1970 the counties had been asked to reorganize themselves and they have done so in a myriad of ways, sometimes twice. I now live in England and last year I decided to sort out place pages for various counties in the UK. Guess what? They also decided to change the municipal organization in the 1970s, but the whole country had to do it together in 1974. Some places didn't like it and have gone back to the old names or something part way between the old and the new. Great fun! Sorting out modern place-naming from a distance has been made worse by the fact that the world wide web was discovered and put to use just after these post-1970 alterations were put into place. Many Wikipedia articles and municipal websites present the current facts and forget to mention the changes that have occurred in the past 50 years. Digging for the facts has sometimes been very time consuming. Try telling someone under 40 from Oshawa that Whitby used to be in Ontario County! Yes, Ontario is now a confusing name for a county, but before 1867 it would have been perfectly acceptible. Regards --Goldenoldie 19:35, 16 March 2014 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Weather [16 March 2014]Gee, Hasn't it thawed out in TO yet? It's spring here. Daffodils in bloom, birds singing their hearts out at 7am, going outside without a coat, the lot! Our family stopped supplying people to be related to in the 1930s. I was an only grandchild. But in studying the Keffers (a study that started by correcting placenames on WeRelate and expanded to add 19th century census entries) I discovered that three Keffer men married girls named Quantz (from Markham Township) and so did the sister of my great-great grandmother (well, she married the brother of at least one of them). /cheers --Goldenoldie 21:28, 16 March 2014 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] References; Atkinson Family [30 June 2014]Hi I saw your query on the Support page about using references on PlacePages and was wondering how you employed it. It might be useful on some of the many placepages I set up. Then, looking at the people in your tree, I saw that you have an Ambrose Atkinson in Northumberland, Ontario. My great-great grandfather, Ambrose Atkinson (1818-1898), lived in "old" Ontario County from 1847 till his death. I don't see any obvious links when comparing the two trees--even the fact that they both happened to marry a woman named Mitchell is probably no more than a coincidence. (In my gg-gf's case his second wife's first married name was Mitchell.) /cheers --Goldenoldie 10:57, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Parameters in Templates [10 October 2014]You asked earlier about how to add parameters to a template so that the number of transcriptions, etc could be passed to the template. If you look at the FindAGrave template you will see an example of how to pass parameters. If you have any questions, perhaps I can help you sort it out. Rick----RGMoffat 18:02, 10 October 2014 (UTC) Hi Rick, I did find and exemplar and think I have it figure out, just need some time ... --Artefacts 22:21, 10 October 2014 (UTC) |

When boys basketball players join programs like Mountain View, Mesa or St. Mary's, there is an expectation that a deep playoff run will happen sometime in their high school careers.
Tempe is not one of those schools.
The Buffaloes hadn't made the state tournament since 2001, but behind star Jordan Baker, the Buffaloes advanced to the 4A Division II championship game last year before falling to Tucson Amphitheater.
The team played two games in Jobing.com Arena, and had the school and its alumni buzzing.
"It was the best experience of my life," guard Nyial Watson said.
Baker was a four-year varsity starter and is already playing a big role for Pepperdine this year as a freshman. He averaged 27.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game last year. Tempe coach Bryan Snyder called him the best player he has ever had.
Not surprisingly, there were questions about how the Buffaloes would fare this season without him.
"Can you do it without Jordan?" was a question commonly directed at guard Jack Carrethers.
"That's all I've been hearing," forward Dequan Hughes said.
Although Baker and second-leading scorer B.J. Atkins moved on, the Buffaloes had Watson (8.6 points per game) and Isaiah Haynes (9.6 points, 6.6 rebounds) returning to lead the way. That is, until a leg fracture and resulting complications over the summer knocked Haynes out for the year, which left Watson as the only main contributor back from last year.
The Buffaloes started out as many expected with three losses in their first four games. They crept back up to .500 through six games, but were demolished by Arcadia on Dec. 6. The Buffaloes knocked off the higher-seeded Titans in the 4A-II quarterfinals last year, but lost by 29 points in the rematch.
At that point, the team's seniors felt like they were at a crossroads. With a road game coming up against a ranked Saguaro team, the group assembled and relayed the importance of winning the game.
Tempe did so, traveling to Saguaro and pulling off the 83-72 victory.
"That's the game where you start believing more," Snyder said.
The win over the Sabercats was the start of something special. Tempe reeled off 11 victories in a row until a 63-61 loss to South Mountain on Thursday. The Buffaloes came up one game short of tying the school record of 12 consecutive victories, something not even the Baker-led teams could accomplish.
"We go out here and win 11 games in a row?" Hughes said. "That's hard to do for anybody."
Tempe is getting contributions from everywhere. Watson leads the way with 15.1 points per game, while Carrethers and Hughes both average double figures.
Shooting guard Erik Carr was on junior varsity last year, but the senior recently scored 22 points in a win over Seton Catholic and has been a pleasant surprise. Carr went 0-for-12 with zero points in the team's first two games this year and is now a valuable part of the team.
"Starting out I didn't think I (would have an impact), no," he said. "Not with the great players we already had. But after awhile of playing with the guys that are already up here, I felt good and comfortable."
The Buffaloes captured the Maricopa Hoops Holiday Classic title over the December break, and, after the 1-3 start, were 14-5 heading into a matchup against Campo Verde on Friday.
Tempe has to face Arcadia and Saguaro again in the regular season, and despite the winning streak, still isn't considered one of the main contenders for the Division II crown like it was last year.
Then again, no one thought the Buffaloes would win 11 games in a row, either.
"We made history last year and now we're making history this year," Watson said. "Let's keep doing it."

The Stranger Passivity Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a telegram from the home: "Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours." That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday. (1.1.1)
Not only does Meursault not know the actual date, but he's too passive to try to find out.
When she was at home with me, Maman used to spend her time following me with her eyes, not saying a thing. For the first few days she was at the home she cried a lot. But that was because she wasn't used to it. A few months later and she would have cried if she'd been taken out. She was used to it. (1.1.6)
After a while, one can get used to, or accept, almost anything.
She said, "If you go slowly, you risk getting sunstroke. But if you go too fast, you work up a sweat and then catch a chill inside the church." She was right. There was no way out. (1.1.27)
Meursault's solution to this paradox is passivity. If you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, you should… do nothing.

Ballin: Well, Kobe went for 34 points (11 in the fourth), had a huge dunk and hit a game-winner, so him.
Not so much: The Kings (last place in the Western Conference) beat the Bobcats (last place in the Eastern Conference) by 36 points last night, definitively proving which conference is the best.
Anticlimactic: Haven't checked the Twitter archives, but I'm pretty sure LeBron James saw this game-icing J.R. Smith turnover coming last Wednesday.
Not the most exciting ending to a really fun basketball game, but that's what lazy passes right in front of one of the NBA's best defenders — who happens to have the speed of an NFL tight end — will get you.
Boners: The Bobcats' 36-point loss wasn't even yesterday's most humiliating defeat. Nope, that honor goes to the Detroit Pistons, who lost to a Tony Parker-less Spurs team by 39. The Mavericks also lost to the Rockets by 33, which seems almost trivial at this point.
Gentle cycle: John Wall is dizzy.
I feel like Nick Young watched that play happen, then immediately left the arena to chill in the locker room while thinking about all the times he used to make 360 layups for the Wizards. Then he got sad. Then he got some leopard print shoes. Then he got a haircut. Then he got a bag of beans and just started eating raw pintos to fight the pain.
Synopsis: No Taj Gibson for the Bulls meant Luol Deng on David West down the stretch, which meant David West went for 10 points in the games final seven-and-a-half minutes. No Derrick Rose — and to a lesser extent, no Kirk Hinrich — meant the Bulls couldn't get a real shot up on three of their last five possessions. Guess what? The Bulls lost.
Dick: Serge Ibaka has always been a big Nicolas Batum fan.
Here's one of my basketball mottoes — Don't punch another guy, especially below the waistband. It's a pretty simple policy, but I feel like it's effective. Someone tell every NBA player.
For completists only: The Grizzlies beat the Magic by 26 and the game's leading scorer (Tayshaun Prince) had 14 points.
Other things: Here's something you don't see every day — a buzzer-beating four-point play … The Nuggets did a "Harlem Shake" video … An enjoyable LeBron James alley-oop … Here is more than one picture of DeMarcus Cousins warming up in a luchador mask … Derrick Rose was on the bench for the Bulls last night, which is so not a big deal

Fiction. In the first scene of Fiction, two people argue and flirt in a Paris cafe. They seem entirely familiar with each other; their argument, though heightened and intensely clever, still has the comfortable, teasing, accustomed rhythms you expect of a conversation between lovers. But in the second scene we learn that this was actually the first meeting of now long-married writers Michael and Linda Waterman, or rather — and it takes you a little longer to figure this out — the first meeting as Michael recorded it. Now Michael is the kind of blockbuster novelist his younger self scorned, while Linda has never been able to repeat the success of her first novel, At the Cape, famed not only for its writing, but for its tragic autobiographical elements. Playwright Steven Dietz is a clever soul. His plotting is cunning, and the layers of complexity he builds around the basic concepts of truth and fiction are even more so. Linda soon discovers that she has a fatal brain tumor and no more than three weeks to live, and she has one request: She wants Michael to read her journal after her death, and in return, she'd like to read his. What she discovers is that during a stay at a writers' colony, Michael had an affair with Abby, the colony's enigmatic administrator. Reading on, she discovers Abby on page after page of every single journal, and she's devastated. When she confronts Michael, he admits to a one-month affair, no more. Everything else, he says, he made up. And then Abby herself appears at the door. She has come to see not Michael, but Linda. As written, Michael and Linda are fascinating, but you wouldn't really want to know them; they'd be the kind of dinner-party guests whose self-conscious wit silenced everyone else. But director Richard H. Pegg has cast Rhonda Brown and Thomas Borrillo, two actors of such warmth and appeal that you can't help empathizing with them. The result is a fascinating evening — and that's no fiction. Presented by Miners Alley Playhouse through April 24. 1224 Washington Avenue, Golden, 303-935-3044, www.minersalley.com.

The Field. Bull McCabe has been farming a few acres for several years — fencing, tearing out weeds, fertilizing — until the barren soil has become a lush pasture for his herd of cows. And now the owner, a poor widow, needs to put the field up for sale. Enter an American businessman, William Dee. He wants to pave over part of the land and set up a business selling concrete blocks. We want to empathize with McCabe, but The Field
is also very much about rural Irish culture in all its harshness, poverty and violence, and the man is a vicious bully and wifebeater who, along with his equally unscrupulous son, once tracked down a donkey and beat it to death for trespassing on his field. So the outline of another theme entirely emerges, a theme having to do with social isolation and the way the evil promulgated by one psychotic human being can spread until it engulfs an entire community. Terrified or complicit, worn down by the hardships of their own lives, one by one the villagers enable McCabe's depredations, from the widow condemned to poverty by his actions to the slimy, go-along-to-get-along pub owner and his harassed and overburdened wife, Maimie. The Field is not a great play, but it is a strong and interesting one with many vital characters, and director Rita Broderick has created a solid production that's buoyed by several standout performances. Presented by the Denver Victorian Playhouse through April 2, 4201 Hooker Street, 303-433-4343, www.denvervic.com. Reviewed March 3.Homebody/Kabul. The greatest strength of Tony Kushner's Homebody/Kabul
lies in the hour-long opening monologue, in which an eccentric British housewife, holding an outdated guidebook to Kabul, tries to get her arms around the great, rich, anguished and turbulent mystery that is Afghanistan. Surrounded by people of diverse cultures and religions, sequentially occupied, Kabul once served as a crossroads for the ancient world, with trade routes converging on it from the north, south, east and west, and Kushner's genius was to put his own thirst for understanding into the soul and body of this woman, who interweaves the book's plethora of facts with her interpretations and imaginings, ponders the passage of time (an important theme) and muses on her own safe life in London. She's an entirely original creation. Having made her pilgrimage to Kabul, the Homebody vanishes — either torn to pieces as she wanders burqa-less, or having fallen in love with an Afghan man and decided to convert to Islam; the script suggests both. By the time we learn this, though, the play has turned prosaic. The Homebody's husband and daughter go to Afghanistan to find her, and what a wretched pair they are. Husband Milton spends the entire visit in a hotel room, afraid of venturing out. Daughter Priscilla has two modes: angry or whining. Convinced her mother isn't dead, she goes racing in search of her, abusing people she finds insufficiently helpful, carelessly tossing off her burqa whenever she can — which, given her mother's possible fate, is unforgivably stupid. When she reveals a suicide attempt and an inadvertent abortion in a far-too-long scene with her father, I can't tell whether we're supposed to empathize or see her so-conventional traumas as puny against the vast canvas of Afghan suffering. In all, though, this production is a large, interesting and raggedly ambitious work. Presented by Curious Theatre Company through April 16, 1080 Acoma Street, 303-623-0524, www.curioustheatre.org.

Do you have a sweet tooth that just wont quit? Do you need to have a piece of bread, cookie, cracker or a bowl of cereal to give you a pick-me-up or to relax your nerves? If so, you may be suffering from carbohydrate cravings! Fear not, there are definite nutritional steps that can be taken to end the vicious cycle of cravings.
What is a craving?
Carbohydrate cravings are often an indication of biochemical imbalance. This is not to say that there is not a time and a place to occasionally indulge and enjoy a sweet treat or a delicious piece of bread. At Truestar Health, we call this the 80-20 rule of eating. In other words, eating in a healthy fashion 80% of the time and indulging in treats 20% of the time can still achieve optimal health and wellness.
When looking up the definition of the word craving, I found it defined as, an intense desire for some particular thing. The thing may involve alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, caffeinated substances or foods such as sugar or refined carbohydrates. Cravings are often hard to pinpoint as they can show up as headaches, moodiness, fatigue and a general sense of fogginess. I always ask people that when they are in the throws of a food craving to try and decipher their symptoms. Remember, there is a big difference between, I would like to eat that chocolate chip cookie and I would kill for that chocolate chip cookie!

News reports from Japan continue to update the world on the devastation caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11, 2011. Our UMKC community joins others in offering our sympathy to the families of those who died and our hope to the hundreds of individuals displaced, distressed, and traumatized by this disaster.
During the recovery process, each of us can help the many people of Japan who have been affected by these events. Numerous organizations, including those located here in Kansas City, are accepting money to provide temporary shelter, clean water, food and much needed medical supplies: UNICEF, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army , Doctors Without Borders, and Heart to Heart International. I urge you to find a reliable agency and to make a contribution.
For our own UMKC family who may need assistance, the UMKC's Counseling Center welcomes UMKC students, staff, and faculty who have been affected by this catastrophe, or who need extra support. Please call 816-235-1635, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Those with speech or hearing impairments may call Relay Missouri at 800-735-2966 (TTY) or 800-735-2466 (voice). You also may visit the Counseling Center offices located at 4825 Troost, Suite 206. Due to construction and street closings, please check the Counseling Center web site for the best routes to the building.
Disasters are not selective, and they can occur across the world or in our own backyard. Recently, we have seen devastation strike in both Haiti and New Zealand. It is at times such as these that we come to realize just how much the world has become one global and inter-connected community and the power that each of us has to support one another.

Are you frustrated with Bank of America? Do you have one simple request, but have found it impossible to get through to anyone? Do you feel like no one's listening? Maybe you're an employee who wants to have a frank talk about bonuses, and if you can expect to get one this year. Maybe you're a homeowner who doesn't want to get wrongfully foreclosed on and have your beloved parrot stolen, again. Maybe you're a shareholder who's been begging for a dividend increase. Maybe you're an ex-CEO named Ken who just wants a tiny little bit of office space out of which to run the party promoting business you recently started with your friend Ang Moz. Whatever your desire, consider taking a page from Ken Williams' playabook. He tried going through the normal channels to get what he wanted and then cut the shit and got serious, by appealing to BofA's serious love of snappy tunes.
For more than 70 days, Williams said he and his wife sat in limbo as Bank of America missed three closing dates on the home they wanted to buy in Decatur. The bank, he said, wouldn't return calls or emails. Staring at a potential fourth missed closing date on Friday and the prospect of being charged daily fees by the seller, Williams vented his frustration in song. Last weekend Williams wrote and recorded a music video he posted Sunday afternoon on YouTube. He also has a blog. "Bank of America, you're making me so mad. I want to buy this house, really bad," Williams sings in "Close This Loan," a song modeled after "You've Got It Going On," a tune from the HBO series "Flight of the Conchords." "My credit score is 798. Don't worry 'cause my payments will never be late," Williams sings. He also tells the bank he wants a place for his cats and a garden gnome…Bank of America said Thursday evening the loan will close this time. "We apologize for the delay in closing Mr. Williams' loan," the bank said in a statement. "We are on target to close his loan [Friday]. For the inconvenience, we have provided him a credit at closing."
Here's what finally got them to come around:
Just something to think about.

Jess: ASOS Sweater// ASOS Heels// ASOS Bag// ASOS Beanie
I'm so excited to be teaming up with ASOS and the always fabulous Jess of The Steele Maiden styling holiday looks from the East to West Coast! If you couldn't tell, Jess has the West Coast covered, I'm so jealous of her cute pink fuzzy sweater and her feet in the sand! For me, the holidays in New England are all about greens, reds and of course plaid! ASOS has so many choices for holiday style whether you're spending a cozy night at home or getting glam for a champagne affair (stay tuned for that later this week). I love how Jess paired a cozy knit with fun heels (on sale) and a velvet quilted bag to add that special holiday feel. I opted for this plaid midi skirt that I am absolutely in love with (did I mention it has pockets), and a cropped mock neck sweater. It's a bit more girly than my usual style but that's what the holidays are for! Make sure you check out Jess's entire look over at The Steele Maiden and stay tuned to see how we style looks from ASOS for a Champagne Affair later this week. Don't forget to enter my giveaway too! What's your favorite home for the holidays style?

Frederick Bank Trust Officer Sentenced to Prison For Embezzling over $313,000
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander sentenced Tommy L. Phillips, age 55, of Frederick, Maryland, today to 27 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for bank fraud, in connection with a scheme in which Phillips embezzled over $313,300 from trust accounts that he managed. Judge Hollander also entered an order that Phillips pay restitution of $313,303.05.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Phillips worked in Frederick as a trust officer for PNC Bank. According to Phillips' plea agreement, when a check came to the bank for one of the trust accounts that Phillips managed, he was required to deposit the check into a clearing account, then move the funds from the clearing account into the appropriate customer's trust account.From 2003 to December 2009, Phillips embezzled funds from the trust accounts that he managed using a variety of methods. Most commonly, Phillips rerouted the funds from the banks' clearing accounts into his personal bank accounts using cashiers checks, or using checks written from the clearing account to pay off his credit card bills. In order to cover up his scheme, Phillips would then misappropriate incoming trust account deposits in order to replace funds in trust accounts that he had previously stolen from. Phillips chose which accounts to embezzle from based on the age of the customers and their lack of attention to the accounts. Phillips used the embezzled funds to pay for his and his wife's personal debts, his household bills and to purchase jewelry for his wife.
During the course of the six year scheme, Phillips embezzled approximately $313,303.05 in trust account funds from the banks' clearing accounts for his personal use.
This law enforcement action is part of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the FBI for its work in the investigation and praised Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean B. O'Connell, who prosecuted the case.

Allegiance is an epic story of love, war and heroism set during the Japanese American internment of World War II, following the story of the Kimura family in the weeks and years following Pearl Harbor, as they are relocated from their farm in Salinas, California to the Heart Mountain internment camp in the rural plains of Wyoming.
Their story reflects the deep conflicts of a nation and a people divided, as younger brother Sammy strives to prove his loyalty and patriotism, while older sister Keiko comes to resist their internment and treatment by the government. The Kimura's conflicts mirror the larger rift between the Japanese American Citizens League, which urged cooperation with the internment and unwavering loyalty to America, and the draft resisters of Heart Mountain, who steadfastly refused to serve a country that had put them in concentration camps. This universal story sheds new light upon a dark, under-explored, and wrenching chapter of American history. Through the remembrances of Old Sam, the painful past is revisited, and at long last, redemption and understanding begin to heal decades-old wounds.
Allegiance sheds new light upon a dark chapter of American history. One of the first Asian musicals in more than a decade, with a stunning and moving score, Allegiance connects the audience with universal themes of love, family and redemption.
Allegiance had its World Preview at The Old Globe theater in California in 2012, one of the largest and most highly-respected regional theaters for development of new musicals in California and in the United States.
In fall of 2008, we were seated by complete coincidence by George Takei and his husband Brad at an Off-Broadway show, where a brief conversation revealed a mutual love of theater. By a second and truly divine coincidence, the very next day we were seated again by George and Brad at the Broadway show, In The Heights. At intermission, we approached George, curious as to why he had been so emotionally affected by the father's song in which he laments his inability to help his daughter in her time of need. George explained to us that it reminded him of his own father's frustration at his inability to help his family during their internment at the Rohwer Relocation Center in Arkansas. Over the course of that intermission, George recounted his personal experience as a child in the internment camps of America, and we immediately recognized that what we had just heard was the seed of a profoundly human, great American story that had yet to be told on the Broadway stage.
Allegiance was born that day.
Jay Kuo & Lorenzo Thione
Allegiance takes place behind the barbed wires of Heart Mountain Relocation Center, an internment camp in the wastelands of Wyoming named for the iconic mountaintop peak that overlooked it. Japanese-American artist Drue Kataoka conceived the original logo, an "A" as two simple sumi-e brushstrokes forming a mountain. The entire original art was realized as a traditional brushstroke painting.

As the Obama administration gears up for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the administration is making its case for an array of major revisions. We already see Secretary of Education Arne Duncan marshaling evidence to make the case for change. Thus far, he's earning wildly mixed grades for the quality of his team's homework. Secretary Duncan deserves a thumbs down for his efforts to placate No Child Left Behind critics by blaming the current version of ESEA (a.k.a. NCLB) for a supposed narrowing of the K-12 curriculum. He deserves much higher marks for his forthright charge that states are "dumbing down" their proficiency standards.
Claims about the narrowing of the curriculum need to specify exactly which students have supposedly experienced this change. NCLB was focused mostly on the earlier grades, but it also mandates that students be tested in high school. While there is some evidence about curriculum narrowing in elementary schools (see here, but also see here), the evidence about high school curricula is quite clear and quite to the contrary.
In contrast to the earlier grade levels, which often focus on basic skills, high school years provide students with the opportunity to develop more deeply their skills and knowledge of subjects such as music, arts, and social studies, all supposed victims of a narrower curriculum. Fortunately, we have good data on what subjects high school students study—data gathered as part of the High School Transcript Study conducted by National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). These data document which courses students actually took, as compared to what parents, school administrators, and others believe happened to the curriculum. Secretary Duncan has used these statements of belief as support for his concern about narrowing the curriculum (see here); but do these beliefs jibe with reality?
Transcript data show that, rather than taking a narrower curriculum, America's high school students are taking more courses across a broader array of subject areas than ever before. As evident in Figure 1 above, the number of English credits high school graduates completed was unchanged between 2000 (pre-NCLB) and 2005, while the number of math credits increased. Meanwhile, student exposure to science (not mandated under NCLB until 2007) and social studies increased, and there was no change in the average number of foreign language and fine arts credits completed. Things may have radically changed since 2005 when the data were collected, but transcripts show that student exposure to arts, science, social studies, and foreign language, subjects supposedly being crowded out, either went up or remained the same.
Above, Figure 2 displays a longer view of high school graduates' exposure to social studies. Here we see that at each point over 15 years, high school graduates have had the same exposure to U.S. history and government/civics. In addition, we see a substantial increase in the percentage of high school graduates completing credits in world history and world geography. Here too there is little evidence of crowding out—in fact, we see an increase in exposure to the world beyond the borders of the United States.
In short, there were increases or at least stability across a wide range of subject areas, with no signs of narrowing of the high school curriculum. This was due, in part, to high school graduates increasing the number of credits they have completed (from 25 in 1998 to 26 in 2000 and 27 in 2005) and by taking more academic courses.
Claims about narrowing of the curriculum are already common and will become more so as the reauthorization debates proceed. When these discussions move into high gear, it is important to specify which level of schooling the speaker has in mind, and it is even more important to have better and more recent empirical evidence to support such claims.
It would also be far more productive if the discussion focused on why, given this increase in academic course taking by high school students, we haven't seen any improvements in student achievement as measured by assessments such as NAEP's Long Term Trends or the Program for International Student Assessment. Similarly, in light of the recent disappointing fourth and eighth grade NAEP math results, a better question would be: if our elementary schools have indeed focused so much more time on math, why haven't our students gained more in return? In short, the flimsy evidence regarding narrowing of the curriculum and the continuing poor performance of our students does not justify rethinking the law's focus on math and reading.
Instead of spending time on much-discussed but poorly documented complaints, like curriculum-narrowing, Secretary Duncan's reauthorization agenda should focus on better-documented issues such as the laughable "proficiency" standards that states have developed to fulfill NCLB's accountability mandate. Fortunately, the secretary has acknowledged that low state standards are a major flaw, arguing that "the biggest problem with NCLB is that it doesn't encourage high learning standards. In fact, it inadvertently encourages states to lower them. The net effect is that we are lying to children and parents by telling kids they are succeeding when, in fact, they are not."
The evidence behind this claim, especially National Center for Education Statistics studies that show many states set their proficiency standards at or below NAEP's basic standard, is far more compelling than the evidence about narrowing the curriculum. Indeed, this evidence justifies wiping clean NCLB's compromise that set national proficiency goals but allowed each state to define its own level of proficiency and to write their own tests to judge progress.
