Bill DeWitt said it was hard to say "no" to his alma mater and the town in which he grew up.
The same held true for the city where he went to college, got married and started a family of his own.
DeWitt -- who left the Lawrence area four years ago to return to his native Hays as principal of Thomas More Prep-Marian High School, from where he graduated in 1992 -- is headed back east.
He told his staff Tuesday morning he had accepted a job as assistant principal and athletic director at Lawrence High School for the 2013-14 school year.
Reactions to the news of DeWitt's departure ran the gamut, from shock to sadness, disappointment and even heartache.
"It's hard for me to talk about it," said Father Daryl Olmstead, who as bishop designate for Heartland Parishes of Ellis County has worked closely with DeWitt the past four years. "I've worked with him on everything and developed a close friendship. I'm excited for him, but sad for the school -- and for everyone else here."
People like DeWitt's style
By all accounts, DeWitt, who will turn 40 in May, is genuinely well-liked.
"He did so much for the school," said Deana Rupp, mother of TMP eighth-grader Taryn Rupp.
DeWitt's philosophy is that students respond best to high expectations, so he stressed that -- and strong values.
"He is a strong leader and seemed to have a good way with the kids," said Becky Wasinger, mother of TMP junior Lexie Wasinger.
Senior Kade Megaffin said he thinks DeWitt's ability to deal well with people of all ages will serve him well at his new school.
"It's sad that we're losing him, but I'm excited to see what things he can accomplish in a bigger school in a bigger city," said Megaffin, the oldest of three brothers who attend TMP.
Lawrence High is one of two Class 6A schools -- the largest classification in Kansas -- with nearly 1,500 students in Lawrence (population 88,700). TMP, with its enrollment of 234 in grades 9 through 12, is a 3A school.
"I have so much respect for him. He's always been one to listen to student input," Megaffin said. "He may not always agree with you, but he's always willing to listen."
"I feel sorry for my brothers," Megaffin added, "because I was able to have (DeWitt) for all my years here, and they're going to miss out. But I'm sure TMP will get someone good to come in."
DeWitt, who said he will finish out his contract through June "to help ensure that all pieces are in place for next year," echoed that sentiment.
"The school has tremendous momentum right now, and it will continue," he said in an email note to parents Monday.
Nonetheless, Megaffin said, "whoever comes in will have big shoes to fill."
Strong ties to Lawrence
Both DeWitt and his wife, Amy, are graduates of the University of Kansas, and he has remained an avid KU fan. The DeWitts were married in a Catholic church in Lawrence, where all three of their daughters were born. They lived in Eudora -- about 10 miles east of Lawrence -- for 10 years, while DeWitt taught and coached at Tonganoxie and Eudora, before coming to TMP in 2009.
"It's two great loves," DeWitt said of Hays and Lawrence. "(Lawrence) is the only place I'd ever leave this school for."
That opportunity presented itself after the first of the year when some friends of DeWitt's told him about the job opening at Lawrence High and urged him to pursue it.
"Everyone knows I love (KU), that I lived (in that area) for 18 years," he said. "I thought, 'What do I have to lose?' " by applying.
As the process progressed and he was eventually offered the job, DeWitt had to huddle with his family.
"There are a lot of mixed emotions because Anna will be a seventh-grader next year," DeWitt said of his oldest daughter. "We've all made some great friends here. But at the age my kids are at, for our family, it's an easier time now than later."
DeWitt's mother is deceased, and his dad lives in California. But the move will take the DeWitt children closer to their maternal grandparents, who live in southeast Kansas.
"We took the girls farther away from their grandparents to move here," DeWitt said. "Now, we'll be two-plus hours from them instead of six."
Moving on
Randy Walker, chairman of the board of trustees for Hays Catholic Schools, said accomplishments were many during DeWitt's tenure, most notably the creation of a junior high school, adding seventh- and eighth-grade classes to the HCS curriculum.
Holy Family Elementary services students in preschool through sixth grade, but prior to this year, there was no Catholic school in Hays for the seventh- and eighth-grade levels. Most TMP-bound students attended Kennedy Middle School, the smaller of two public middle schools in Hays.
When Hays USD 489 voted in 2011 to close Kennedy at the end of the 2011-12 school year, DeWitt and the board headed up a group effort to establish a junior high. When school started last August, seventh- and eighth-graders joined the high school students on the TMP campus, which underwent renovations and reshuffling over the summer to make room for the 120-some new students.
And he added principal of the junior high to his title.
Announcement 'bittersweet'
"I don't think we would have been able to do what we did with the middle school if it hadn't been for Bill," said Walker, who has two sons, senior twin brothers Lucas and Jonathan, currently attending TMP.
Jeff Brull, advancement director at TMP, agreed.
"We would, in no way, be where we are today with our Catholic schools without Bill's leadership, advocacy and passion for Catholic education," Brull said.
Walker said he "worked closely with (DeWitt) from a board standpoint and a family standpoint. Our kids just love him. He's been a good principal, a good person. It's a good family. I hate to see him go. On the other hand, we're happy for Bill. It's bittersweet."
Ditto for DeWitt.
"It has been a privilege to come back to Hays serve as (TMP's) principal," he said. "This was not an easy decision to make."
Walker said he and the rest of the board are scheduled to meet Thursday to set up a search committee that will include members of the board and from the community.
"Like Jean always said," Olmstead said of Jean Ross, former president of TMP. "God provides. I'm sure He will provide this time, too."

Colorado craft brewers make big economic contribution, study finds
Posted By Steve Raabe On April 24, 2012 @ 3:22 pm In Brewers,Colorado Beer,Industry News | No Comments
Colorado's craft brewing industry contributed $446 million to the Colorado economy in 2011, according to a University of Colorado study released today by the Colorado Brewers Guild [2].
The study showed that craft brewers directly employ 4,170 workers and generate an additional 1,630 indirect jobs, with a total payroll of $179 million.
"Colorado craft brewing creates a dynamic impact on the Colorado economy," said John Carlson, executive director of the brewers guild. "Explosive growth continues to have a huge economic effect on the state, with no signs of slowing down."
Five of the nation's largest 50 craft brewers are based in Colorado, including New Belgium Brewing Co., the third-largest. The study can be found on the brewers guild website [3].
Some interesting tidbits from a fact sheet that accompanied the study:
– The Colorado Front Range is the largest craft brewing market in the U.S. with seventy-four breweries in
– Colorado is home to approximately 20 hop farms growing hops for local brewers across the state.
– Colorado has the highest percentage (18.5%) of draft beer consumed in the U.S.
– Durango ranks first for city breweries per capita with four breweries. One brewery per 3,480 people.

Research Involving Human Subjects Process
Step 1: If your research activity includes ANY of the following conditions - go directly to the question – How do I apply for full review?
- Survey or interview techniques which include minors (under 18 years of age) as subjects
- Research involving the observation of the public behavior of minors (under 18 years of age)
- Prisoners, fetuses, pregnant women or human in vitro fertilization
- The deception of subjects
- Techniques which expose the subject to discomfort or harassment beyond levels encountered in daily life (the research activity presents more than minimal risk)
- Identification of subjects/responses would reasonably place them at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the subjects financial standing, employability, insurability, reputation, or be stigmatizing, unless reasonable and appropriate protections will be implemented so that risks related to invasion of privacy and breach of confidentiality are no greater than minimal.
- Classified research involving human subjects.
Step 2: If you do not answer "YES" to any of the above listed conditions, determine which review application process below to follow.
Step 3: Review these criteria to see if your research can be approved by your department.
- How do I apply for exemption review? Research classified as "exempt" simply means that it can be approved by the department and Chairperson of CPHRS.
Step 4: If your department cannot approve your research, determine if your research should follow the expedited review process.
- How do I apply for the expedited review process? Research classified as "expedited" is approved by 2 members of the committee
Step 5: If your research does not meet the exempt or expedited review criteria, follow the full review process.
- How do I apply for full review? Research classified as "full" is approved by a majority of the committee (CPRHS)

Sparks are flying. Jackhammers are blasting. Snakepits of wire cover the floors of the Fontainebleau Hotel. Will it be ready to open November 16, after a three-year, $1 billion makeover?
"Absolutely," says Bryan O'Shields, the hotel's senior vice president of food and beverage.
Echoing his optimism is Sean O'Connell, the property's new executive chef. "Bryan and I opened the Bellagio [in Las Vegas] together in 1998. It had 3,000 rooms and 22 restaurants, so it provided us with quite a bit of experience." The sight of 1,200 workers toiling night and day must also boost confidence.
If a billion dollars seems extreme, consider that the Bellagio bill ran to $1.6 billion (or that it took $200,000 just to spruce up Sarah Palin). And the 'Bleau is, after all, this city's singular, iconic structure. From the time it opened in 1954, through the Sixties, the place epitomized the glamour of Miami Beach and helped cement its reputation as the American Riviera.
High society flocked here, as did Elvis, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, and, most notoriously, the Rat Pack. Movies filmed on-site include The Bellboy, The Bodyguard, and Scarface. The most famous scene linked to the property was probably the one in which James Bond and Goldfinger sit by the pool for an intense game of gin rummy in the 1964 flick.
In 1952, hotelier Ben Novack purchased what was then the Harvey Firestone mansion for $2.3 million and hired architect Morris Lapidus to set the design. One morning, on what would be an epiphanous subway ride from Brooklyn to his office in Manhattan, Lapidus envisioned a curvilinear, 11-story structure that would not only add new form to the skyline, but also catch ocean breezes to cool the rooms. The interior was a cascade of floating ceilings, outlandish bowtie motifs, and tall, soaring spaces.
"When we purchased the property, it was solely because we bought into what Mr. Lapidus had created," O'Shields says as he and O'Connell lead a hard-hat tour of the grounds. "We took the inspiration ... and brought that back with enhancements to make it a 21st-century property."
So the bowties, circular ceilings, and columns remain, as does the legendary "Staircase to Nowhere" — which actually led to a coat-check room. Women would take an elevator up the single flight while their gentlemen waited below, and then they'd sashay down the stairway for their Gloria Swanson-style entrance into the lobby. This was in line with Lapidus's intent: "If you create a stage and it is grand," he wrote of the Fontainebleau, "everyone who enters will play their part."
Will the staircase still serve the same purpose in less formal times? "I think it's a great photo op," O'Shields says, "so I don't see any reason why not."
A team of eight international architects, designers, and project managers worked on the 22-acre showplace. The hotel now boasts 1,504 rooms (with a personal iMac in each one), 58 meeting rooms, and three ballrooms. A trio of nightlife venues encompasses what will be the Beach's largest club, the domed LIV (roman numeral 54), located in the former Tropigala space.
Then there's the 40,000-square-foot Lapis spa, with 30 treatment rooms, a pool/lounge area, and water therapy in all of its forms — mist, rain, and steam. It was close to completion on the tour, but a sprawling oceanside landscape-to-be of water walls, cabanas, and cafés was mostly muddy terrain patterned with the motif of empty pools.
Half of the billion bucks went to building two new all-suite towers — the 37-floor Trésor and 18-floor Sorrento — that pair with the refurbished Château and Versailles towers. Lapidus reputedly planned the Trésor shortly before he died — "the exclamation point," he said, to his original vision.
Then there are the property's 11 restaurants and lounges. O'Connell has assembled a talented team of chefs and touts them as we pass each eatery. Alfred Portale of New York City's Gotham Bar and Grill will oversee Gotham Steak, a soaring two-level, indoor-outdoor space with a glistening exposition kitchen that looks ready to go. We gaze up at a large cutout in the ceiling that will soon have a chandelier hanging through it from the top floor.
The frame of a massive glass-enclosed wine tower also stretches two levels, to be stocked shortly with 500 wines (10,000 bottles) from around the globe. The steaks will be dry-aged for, as O'Connell puts it, "a precedent-setting 50 days" (the norm is 30).
The seafood supply for Gotham and the rest of the hotel will come from "an onsite water world: eight aquariums with live lobsters, oysters, clams, fish, prawns — all taken care of by a marine biologist who will check that everything coming in is at peak freshness." Then O'Connell adds the obvious: "This is something that's not done down here at all."
Each restaurant we inspect has at least part of its distinctive design in place. In the case of Scarpetta, likewise a New York import, floor-to-ceiling columns and the airy nature of the space suggest a sophisticated midcentury European look. O'Connell chats about chef Scott Conant, who has been heralded up North for authentic regional Italian cuisine "from locally sourced ingredients."

Dr. Mac: BuyMusic isn't .com-parable to Mac's iTunes
"BuyMusic.com's big marketing push is songs for 79 cents. But it's a bogus claim. For example, only one song in its Top 100 Downloads section cost 79 cents; all the others had prices from 99 cents to $1.29. [...]
Here's another example: BuyMusic.com sets strict limits on what you can do with the songs you buy. Most are bound to a single PC, so you're only allowed to listen on one computer, while every song you buy at iTMS can be played on up to three Macs. [...]
I can't recommend BuyMusic.com to anyone on any platform. Mac users should avoid it. And Windows users will be better off waiting for iTunes for Windows, available later this year."

Wow, Dr. Mac's superbly unbiased opinion. Makes you wonder what he is pulling from Apple…
Anyway, I tend to agree with him on buymusic.com, but I would also extend it to iTMS. emusic's business model seems to be better, although their selection is more limited.

buymusic has a crap selection, IT COULDNT EVEN FIND ALANIS MORISSETTE FOR GODS SAKE!!!!! SHE'S A 45 MILLION ALBUM SELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, whereas alanis morissette appears in the apple ads and has all her albums in the iChoons music store

So sad. MAC users always need to assert themselves. It is an inferiority complex really. PC users never even talk about MACs. I use both Macs (design) and PCs. It is sad to see MAC supporters and MAC publications always bashing anything PC related to feel better about themselves.
In the PC world Macs dont even exist and people don't talk about it. You know where the critics are coming from.

Jesus Christ E39, you WISH you could be as happy as us MAC users. My first computer was a Macintosh Performa and it was always easier to understand and using. Since then, I have gone thru a couple PCs, an iBook and now I have an eMac. Let me tell you, the eMac is awesome and has the same stuff as an iMac except that it's not as fancy. But getting to your premature comment there, out of all the computers I've ever had, the Mac has always performed better and does NOT crash like PCs usually do. C'mon man, even the whole Windows interface was stolen from the Mac when they came out with Windows 95 with the only difference being that Gates put the icons on the left instead of the right. Look at us now, MacOs X kicks ass, we have the best MP3 player in the world, all plug and play devices are already recognized when hooked up, please man I shouldn't even keep going. Do us a favor and stick to your boring PC while we get the best in entertainment and most important, QUALITY! MAC users STAND UP!!
Posted by PrimalTheory on July 25, 2003 at 2:01 PM (CDT)
You just proved my point! My 1st computers were Macs as well. You are barking at the wrong tree my friend. I use both platforms now.
But look at your comments:
"you WISH you could be as happy as us MAC users" : I am also a MAC user. but if I wasn't then that comment is pretty biased.
"the Mac has always performed better and does NOT crash like PCs usually do": It is true that PCs used to crash quite a lot. But Windows XP is extremely stable and never crashes on me. However, my iMAC does crash once in a while. At least much more often than my PC. Doesn't bother me too much but it goes to show you.
"C'mon man, even the whole Windows interface was stolen from the Mac when they came out with Windows 95 with the only difference being that Gates put the icons on the left instead of the right" : Sure, if you say so. No complaints here personally. You should be proud.
"Look at us now, MacOs X kicks a**, we have the best MP3 player in the world, all plug and play devices are already recognized when hooked up, please man I shouldn't even keep going. Do us a favor and stick to your boring PC while we get the best in entertainment and most important, QUALITY! MAC users STAND UP!!"
And you have really hit the nail on the head with this comment. It shows how biased you are and it is a very ignorant comment as well. I am sick and tired of fellow MAC users saying everything they have is the best in the world. Gives the rest of us a bad name. You do not even support your comments which leads me to believe that you are clueless about hardware in general.
Again, I am also a MAC user like yourself. All this attitude is based on an inferiority complex again.

WinAMP is 100% better than iTunes.
My mouse has 5(!!!) buttons, all usable.
My hardware costs me half of yours for same performance.
My software costs half, while having 1000% better selection.
I am not locked into a proprietary loophole.
I dont have to pay $129 for service packs.
My computer does not look like a cheese grater, or a plastic blob or a desk lamp.
Posted by pbox on July 25, 2003 at 2:48 PM (CDT)
Off topic guys. I use both platforms and have mp3 players that are compatible with both services (iTMS and BuyMusic) and have used both. IMO iTMS is hands down better than BuyMusic. The only problem with iTMS is that a Windows version will not be released 'till later this year. Major oversight, considering that the majority of iPod owners are Windows users. Just imagine if iTMS already had a Windows version.

Guys, I don't think here is the place to be "platform-bashing". In my opinion, the iTunes Music Store is far better than BuyMusic. Nothing to do with which OS it runs on - I just feel that Apple have taken a more professional approach with their store and made it far simpler and more fun to use.
Of course, I can't see many people here using BuyMusic. The iPod isn't even supported as it uses the awful Windows Media format (as opposed to the next-generation AAC).

Listen E39, now what you don't know is that I too have both a PC and a MAC and I know hardware more than you may assume. You say that your MAC crashes and your PC works better, thats fine. Nobody said the MAC is simply perfection because we know its not. I'm just saying that Apple seems to go in the right direction when it comes to ease of use whereas it can take a lot of grief to make one simple thing work on the PC. Forget the platform bashing and let's stick to the music stores. I checked out buymusic.com and its so bad. How can you say that everything is 79 cents when only a limited amount of songs cost that amount while everything else is almost 2 bucks. I think Gates should definitely start battling back and come up with their own store instead of leaving it to third parties who always seem to mess it up. Apple has gone in the right direction and did it themselves which is why it works flawlessly with MACs. Usually the makers of the OS know their software the best but they're are third parties out there who can do something good to but in this case buymusic isn't it.

pbox - fine. stick with PC. I don't care
but really, keep it to yourself and stop posting utter crap.
winamp is simply NOT better than iTunes
the price difference is NOT 2:1
plug a multi-button mouse into a mac - whoa! it works!
software does NOT cost double on Mac. show me one app where that's the case.
MacOS upgrades are fffaaaarrrr more substantial than a "service pack"
and if you object to Apple's industrial design so much, why are you at an iPod site?
really, i don't want to get into platform wars. each to his/her own. I just wanted to point out some terribly misinformed tripe.
Posted by Nathan Adams on July 27, 2003 at 8:23 AM (CDT)
Hm, I don't see what the huge deal is, am I the only one that doesn't care for online music stores? I'd much rather find a 9.99 copy of an album in the store and rip it myself and whatever quality I desire, retaining a nice cd backup. Not to mention, neither buymusic.com or the itunes music store have the widest selection (for my tastes).
I'm a recent mac user, used pcs for a very long time, and am not a fanatic of either platform. I just like the way my mac works. So can we please stop the platform bashing? because we all know that their are intelligent and moronic users of both mac and windows.
(for the record, I also think the itunes store is much more professionally set up and more pleasing to browse, but that's just my opinion)

Why is it that platform bashing only occurs in Apple related sites? Have you ever asked yourself that question? PC related sites do a damn good job at sticking to the issues at hand without having to worry about other platforms.
And every MAC user knows this. MAC owners are always so defensive. They think that the computer world is MAC vs. Rest of the world! Well, it is not. It is MAC vs. IBM vs. Microsoft vs. etc…. Why you ask? Because there are thousands of MFRs and the fact that 99.99% choose to work with PCs it does not mean that Apple users HAVE to criticize everything else. Get a life.
You are the minority….learn to live with that. There is a reason why the huge majority of people in this world do not buy MACs.

" You are the minority….learn to live with that. There is a reason why the huge majority of people in this world do not buy MACs."
and it's definately not what you're thinking of.
The reason the platform bashing comes into proceedings on Apple sites is because people like pbox and E39 come on to lie flame bait. As far as I know, Mac users have better things to do than cruising around PC sites posting junk like "software costs TWICE as much".

we released the epidemic gnu linux including the script smxi
dear buddies,
we released yesterday the epidemic gnu linux (in english version) including the script smxi/sgx already pre installed. As I said to h2 (the smxi developer) in the past I was translating to the english one brazilian distro called epidemic gnu linux which I'm one of the devlopers and we included the script smxi/sgxi pre installed on it in order to facilitate to the users. Besides, a lot of conveniences for the final users. Thus, I would like this fantastic community try it and whoever can downlod it. the download links are available there at http://www.epidemiclinux.org/ and . We announced the release at the distrowatch. com and you can view at http://distrowatch.com but I quoted it down there below as follows:
"The second beta build of Epidemic Linux 3.1, a Debian-based Brazilian distribution for the desktop, has been released. Improvements in this release include: replacement of bootsplash by Plymouth; significant reduction of boot time; new boot options for systems with NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards; support for legacy NVIDIA drivers; introductory support for English as the first step towards greater internationalisation of Epidemic's utilities; inclusion of Esu, a new tool that gives system administrators a choice of user authentication methods for performing privileged tasks; replacement of GRUB with GRUB 2; ext4 becomes the default file system; i686-optimised Linux kernel 2.6.30; KDE 4.3 with Compiz Fusion; installer improvements.... Read the full release announcement (in Portuguese) for further details and some screenshots. Interested beta testers can download the live DVD image from here: epidemic-3.1-b2-1-i686.iso (1,637MB, MD5)."
The epidemic site with download servers at http://www.epidemiclinux.org and http://www.epidemiclinux.org/forum/v...php?f=9&t=1131
download link at http://www.epidemiclinux.org/ or straight at http://distrowatch.com/

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Strictly Come Dancing star Izabela Hannah brings ballroom to Sutton schools - 11.12.09Strictly Come Dancing star, Izabela Hannah, will lead a ballroom extravaganza at a Sutton school next week, (14 December), just days before the final of the popular BBC television show.Fifty-six teenagers from four local secondary schools will show off their tango and jive to impress the judges in a knock-out competition run by Sutton Council. Following 10 weeks of lessons with TV star and professional dancer, Izabela, who partnered world snooker champion Dennis Taylor in series three of Strictly Come Dancing, 28 elaborately costumed couples will now demonstrate their skills in front of a 300-strong audience at St Philomena's High School.
Along with the usual range of team sports and athletics, Sutton pupils are also offered korfball, street dance, judo, yoga and tae-kwon do. The broad range of activities is designed to suit all personalities and abilities and helps ensure that all children complete at least two hours of school sports every week. Cllr Tony Brett-Young, Executive Member for Children, Young People and Learning Services at Sutton Council, said: "I am so pleased that the pupils have embraced ballroom dancing classes with such enthusiasm and all come together for this fabulous event. "Many of the young people had not had the chance to try dancing before and have been surprised by the level of strength and stamina required. It's a great way to keep active, especially in these winter months when many sports are affected by the weather. "Sutton's schools are among the best in the country and this is just one of the many things we do to help encourage pupils to realise their potential. We are thrilled to have Izabela's expertise to inspire and guide our young people to take part in the competition and I wish all participants the best of luck in the final!" The Mayor of Sutton, Cllr Margaret Court, will present the top couple with a medal, certificate and a subscription to further dance lessons at Iocal dance studios 'Dance Options'. Professional compere Luke Sampson will take Bruce Forsyth's place to host the evening event which will also include a charity raffle in aid of the Royal Marsden hospital. Sutton's junior Strictly Come Dancing 2008 competition winners from John Fisher Boys School and St Philomena's High have both continued their dance classes after gaining an interest in the sport during their school lessons. This year's competition takes place on Monday 14 December at 7pm. Last updated: Monday, 14 December 2009 |

Lucas123 writes "IM Flash Technologies, a joint venture between Intel and Micron, announced they've been able to improve NAND memory and its circuitry in order to boost read/write speeds by five times their current ability. The new 8Gbit single-level cell, high-speed NAND chip will offer 200MB/sec read speeds and write speeds of up to 100MB/sec, which means faster data transfer between devices like solid-state drives and video cards.

Kodocha: Sana's Stage Book 9
Posted in Manga Reviews on February 4, 2006 by Johannaby Miho Obana; adaptation by Sarah Dyer
published by Tokyopop; $9.99 US
This series has grown up with its characters. It started as a light comedy about a child star, but as Sana learns more about life, her stories deal with more complex material. She and her friends are maturing both physically and emotionally.
This volume opens with Sana's plans to throw a party. She's got so many reasons to celebrate: her boyfriend Akito is just out of the hospital after a serious injury; it's the birthday of his former girlfriend and her current best friend; it's a kind of anniversary in their relationship; and it's Christmas Eve.
She's stunned by others' reactions to her plans. They tell her they can't come and wonder why she doesn't want to spend some time alone with Akito. Sana's still young enough to be confused about what dating means. She's more comfortable thinking of Akito as a close special friend. The anticipation of their first real date send Sana into a series of mood swings, alternating between typically girly behavior ("I'll bake!") and paralyzing uncertainty. She's an accomplished, talented performer, but that doesn't protect her from insecurity in her personal life.
The kids are three-dimensional characters with hobbies, interests, a variety of family backgrounds, and complicated emotions. They're only in junior high, but they admirably face struggles adults would have trouble with. Obana captures well the telling little moments that make up a relationship.
The characters' faces are central to telling the story through reaction and expression. Sometimes happy, sometimes serious, sometimes exaggerated, they're all cute, creating a friendship with the reader that makes their struggles more involving. We want the best for them, because they care so much.
This volume ends on a cliffhanger that creates anticipation for the next and last book in the series. It's nearly the perfect shôjo sampler series, since it includes relationship comedy, teen drama, romantic interactions, and matters of life and death.
The story of Sana's first love and her growing understanding of what it means to care deeply for someone ties it all together. At the same time, she's learning what it means to be responsible when dealing with obligations, whether emotional or professional. Overall, it's a story of the transforming power of love.
I have previously reviewed Book 4.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (May 2011) |
On April 18, 2008, Helen Golay (b.1931) of Santa Monica, California and Olga Rutterschmidt (b.1933) of Hollywood, California were convicted of the murders of two homeless men. Paul Vados in 1999 and Kenneth McDavid in 2005. According to reports, Golay and Rutterschmidt staged Vados and McDavid's deaths to appear as hit and run incidents in order to collect on multimillion dollar life insurance policies they had taken out on the men.[1]
Contents |
Paul Vados
73 year old homeless man Paul Vados was found lying dead in an alley in Hollywood, California near 307 North La Brea Avenue on November 8, 1999. Vados appeared to be the victim of an apparent hit-and-run.
Beginning in 1997, Golay and Rutterschmidt began applying for life insurance policies on Vados, listing themselves as the beneficiaries. After Vados' death, Golay and Rutterschmidt received benefits from eight different life insurance policies that had been taken out on him.
Kenneth McDavid
According to a surveillance video, McDavid was hit by a silver 1999 Mercury Sable station wagon on June 21, 2005.
From November 2002 to March 2003, Golay and Rutterschmidt took out a total of thirteen policies on McDavid that totaled $3,700.000. On the various insurance applications, Golay and Rutterschmidt were listed as McDavid's "business partner", "cousin" or "fiance".
Before their arrest, Golay had received a total of $1,540,767.05 in insurance proceeds from McDavid's death, and Rutterschmidt a total of $674,571.89.
A third homeless man, Jimmy Covington aged 48, testified at trial that he had been approached by Rutterschmidt, who had taken him to Burger King and promised him shelter. He testified that he had moved out after growing suspicious when Golay and Rutterschmidt asked him to sign documents and give his personal details to them. By then, Golay and Rutterschmidt had already filled out one life insurance policy application for him.
The case was described, by Deputy District Attorney Shellie Samuels who prosecuted it, as "like Arsenic and Old Lace, but it doesn't have Cary Grant."
The prosecution's case included secretly recorded conversations between Golay and Rutterschmidt when they were in jail. Ruttershmidt told Golay in one conversation "You did all these insurances extra. That's what raised the suspicion. You can't do that. Stupidity. You're going to go to jail, honey. They going to lock you up." Suspicion had in fact been raised when a detective happened to overhear a colleague discussing a case whose features closely resembled that of another one.
Both Golay and Rutterschmidt were convicted in Los Angeles, California in April 2008, of conspiracy to murder Vados and McDavid, and of the first-degree murder of Vados. Golay was convicted of the first-degree murder of McDavid. Convictions on the several counts spanned a week, because one juror had to go on a trip and be replaced by an alternate. The original jury reached a deadlock over the final two counts against Rutterschmidt, but after the alternate juror was introduced the trial judge ordered the jury to recommence deliberations. Both women were sentenced to consecutive life terms in California Federal prison, without possibility of parole.
On February 10, 2010, "The Black Widow Murders" are featured on episode of American Greed on CNBC. On September 10, 2009, the case was profiled on an episode of Deadly Women entitled "Behind the Mask".

Planning areas are new aspect of updated General Plan
The Plumas County Planning Commission discussed the basic structure of the upcoming General Plan update draft at a joint meeting with members of the General Plan working groups in early December.
Colleen Shade, the General Plan consultant team leader, said one of the new aspects of the document would be "planning areas" delineated on maps by a blue line.
She said a planning area was surrounding or connected to a community and "essentially identifies the boundary to which potential future development may go to."

'The World Is Coming To An End': YouTube Video Of Disastrous Haiti Quake
A massive 7.0 earthquake struck just south of Port-au-Prince last night, devastating a Haitian capital still rebuilding from multiple serious hurricanes two summers ago.
Even in this age of instant information, news is only trickling out of Haiti. CNN reports this morning that there's no casualty count yet, but that the State Department expects "serious loss of life." Everything from the presidential palace to the U.N. headquarters crumbled in the quake.
There's one place with instant, heart-rending footage of the disaster, though -- YouTube. A few Haitian survivors have been uploading cell phone and camera footage today.
In the clip above, a woman breathlessly talks about the quake in French from her balcony while filming a landscape shrouded in dust. Then she switches to English, exclaiming, "The world is coming to an end!"
YouTube is collecting videos of the Haitian disaster here. Click through for a few more videos.

Warner has announced two new cartoon gift sets due out in November.
First, Batman Beyond gets a Collectible Complete Series Gift Set.
The nine-disc set has all 52 episodes, new bonus features, and a booklet containing "artwork from the DC Archives". It's due out November 23 with creator commentaries (carried over from the previous sets), three new featurettes, and a copy of the "Secret Origins: The Story of DC Comics" documentary created to celebrate the company's 75th anniversary. Suggested retail price is $99.98 US. Note that they mean it when they say "available for a limited time" — they did a similar Batman: The Complete Animated Series set in 2008 that went out of print quickly.
Update (8/23/10): The three featurettes have been announced:
"Tomorrow Knight: The Batman Reborn" — The Batman Beyond creative team gives you a peek into the character of Terry McGinnis, and what made him worthy to become the new Caped Crusader.
"Gotham: City of the Future" — A look at Gotham City, circa 2039, and how the team built a realistic vision of the near future while remaining true to the city they created in Batman: The Animated Series.
"The High Tech Hero" — Explore the technology behind the Bat-suit, its amazing powers, and the real world science that inspired it.
Then there's the best packaging I've seen this year: this Complete Scooby-Doo Collection comes in a plastic Mystery Machine!
Eight discs hold 41 episodes for $79.95 US on November 9, with a promised two hours of "new and archival special features" (no details available). It's so cute!
[…] a suggested list price of $24.98. Although it was previously listed as part of the holiday gift set Batman Beyond: The Complete Series, I'm thrilled to hear that this will be available […]

S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave median real estate price is $256,309, which is more expensive than 92.5% of the neighborhoods in Tennessee and 70.0% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave is currently $689, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 65.2% of the neighborhoods in Tennessee.
S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave is an urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Memphis, Tennessee.
S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave neighborhood are relatively historic, built no later than 1939, and in some cases, quite a bit earlier. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.
S Bellevue Blvd / Lamar Ave has a 16.1% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 76.8% of American neighborhoods). This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood, or that much of the housing stock is seasonally occupied, which can occur in some markets dominated by colleges or vacation homes. Either way, if you live here year round, you will find many of the homes or apartments are empty for all or a portion of the year.

For this pumpkin pie recipe you don't need to buy a prepared crust or filling to begin. This recipe starts with a simple press-in crust so there's no need for a rolling pin. The filling is made with canned pumpkin purée, spices, eggs, and condensed milk so it only takes a few minutes to mix together. And after an hour in the oven, you'll have a proper pumpkin pie to end Thanksgiving dinner.
Game plan: This pumpkin pie can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance. Let it come to room temperature before serving.
- 1Stir the butter, oil, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Add the measured flour and stir until a soft dough forms.
- 2Sprinkle the dough in small clumps over the bottom of a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate. Using a measuring cup or your fingers, evenly press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the plate (flour the cup or your fingers occasionally to prevent sticking). Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
For the pie:
- 1Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Place a baking sheet on the rack while the oven is heating.
- 2Place all of the ingredients except the whipped cream in a large bowl and whisk until smooth and combined. Pour into the chilled pie crust.
- 3Place the pie on the hot baking sheet and bake until the top starts to brown and the filling is set but still jiggles slightly in the center, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving. Top slices of the pie with whipped cream, if desired.

The State of Theology: Worshiping Alone
from Stephen Nichols Dec 18, 2014 Category: Articles
As we turn to the pages of the New Testament, we see the church emerging as the institution God blesses. The gospel accounts end with Jesus promising to build and establish his church, and Acts begins with the church in fact being built and established. Paul was a church planter. The last letters that he wrote and that were included in the Canon were his Pastoral Epistles. In these final inspired words, Paul lays down the law for God's people. For Paul, the church is the household of God, the Living God. The church is the pillar and buttress of truth (1 Tim 3:15). Keep Reading

10 December 2012
Gotye really up'd the ante from his past tours. Going from playing to hundreds at The National Theatre in St Kilda, to playing to thousands at Sidney Myer Music Bowl amphitheatre.
It really was the Gotye show this time, accompanied by a ten piece band of brass, vocals, sample and percussion.
Wally De Backer aka Gotye conducted his band and looked smarter than the down and out t-shirt and jeans muso of the past. On Saturday night he came out an entertainer, and reminded me a lot of Coldplay front man Chris Martin.
PHOTO GALLERY: Check out all the snaps from the massive gig right here!
He was a very different person to that you see in interviews, and he was completely at home on that stage.
One track in and you could already see how the success of Making Mirrors has developed his live shows. Kicking off the evening was "Making Mirrors" the title track of his latest record and a sound explosion of experimental noises, heavy beats, Arabic sounding brass accompanied by manga inspired animation. The animation continued through out the night, inspired from all sorts of art, Dali to Jamie Hewlit (Gorillaz) type illustrations.
Gotye's all male band was tight, bro'ing out on stage, clowning around, and playing the rubber chicken. Wally was joined by a Lowrey Cotillion d5 organ, Teeny Jeanie and comedian Barry Morgan for "State of the Art". Barry Morgan brought abit of theatre to the show that may or may not have been well received. It was great to mix it up but it felt abit overacted similar to a musical.
Highlight of the night for me was "Dig Your Own Hole", a track Wally worked the hardest on, however it didn't make the record. A travesty! Amazing 80s sounding syth tune, very M83/Polica. LOVED IT.
However, the track everyone else was waiting for "Somebody That I Used To Know" Gotye joined by support Bertie Blackman was underwhelming. You couldn't help but feel for Bertie Blackman, everyone was expecting Kimbra to join Gotye on stage and were a little disappointed. It wasn't the same song but she did a good job of putting her own flare to it.
Crowd highlights included "I Feel Better", "Eyes Wide Open" "Save Me" and a standing ovation to "Heart's a Mess". In his past shows, Gotye has performed entire tracks and multiple instruments on his own. He didn't this time, and I was most looking forward to experiencing this, so I was alittle disappointed. However the night was absolutely fabulous. Good sounds, good people, good show! 8/10

Is the U.S. too Lenient on Drunk Driving?
Barron Lerner, author of 'One for the Road' weighs in
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
While writing his new book, "One for the Road," author Barron Lerner went to great lengths to understand what exactly it means to drive under the influence in America. In an interview with NPR, the Columbia University professor of medicine and public health explained how, during a particularly experimental moment, he sat at home with a shot glass and a bottle of vodka to test the limits of the legal limit: .08 blood alcohol level.
"I was trying to figure out just how drunk you had to be in order to not drive safely," Lerner said. After five shots of vodka, Lerner said his blood alcohol level was .08. "Of course, .08 would be illegal, but .075 would be fine, so the point was made," Lerner said in the interview. "One can drink an awful lot and be pretty buzzed and still legally drive in the United States."
Lerner's new book discusses the United States' comparative leniency toward drunk driving – especially in contrast to other countries where legal limits are significantly lower, such as Sweden and Norway, where the limit is .02.
In the decades directly after the repeal of Prohibition, when the legal limit was .15 – twice that of today's limit – the public often sided with drunk drivers rather than the victims of drunk driving. Lerner was shocked to encounter America's passivity toward a crime that was killing 25,000 people per year at the time (the modern day statistic is about 10,000 a year).
Lerner cited the example of Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind, who was crossing the street with her husband in Atlanta in 1949 when she was hit by a drunk driver and died. According to Lerner, people were initially horrified, but ultimately sympathized with the driver, despite his 22 previous arrests for driving violations, including speeding and drunk driving.
"For years and years, back in that era, people who were killed or victimized by a drunk driver were seen as being in the wrong place at the wrong time — that these things happen. And that was very much the case with Margaret Mitchell," Lerner said. "After the initial outrage, people started to say, 'Well, it was her time to go.'"
In a book review by the The New York Times, Dr. Abigail Zuger writes that Dr. Lerner's account of the relationship between the car and the cocktail in this country is surprising. "Who would imagine, for instance, that as late as 1984, the Times could publish an essay title 'Drinking and Driving Can Mix,' supporting 'sensible' drinkers who choose to drive," she writes.
So how do we crack down on drunk driving in this country? Lerner believes technology could play a role. He supports "ignition interlocks," breathalyzers that drivers use to prove their sobriety before their ignitions will start. Some states are already using the technology for people who have DUI convictions. Another anti-drunk driving gadget uses infrared technology to read blood-alcohol levels via the driver's hands on the wheel. If it's too high, the ignition won't start or the car will encourage the driver to pull over.
Where do you fall on the debate over drunk driving in the United States? Are our laws and standards strict enough? Too strict? If we do need to crack down, are these new technologies the way to do it? Sound off here.

Small Government IN YOUR VAGINABy now you have probably heard the quote from Representative Todd Akin, candidate for Senate in Missouri, but just in case you haven't, here is what the man who many are calling Mister 'LEGITIMATE RAPE' said:
"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
This piece of unscientific NON-medical disinformation was put forth as a justification to refuse abortions for rape victims and victims of incest.

DHUBHTHAIGH or DUFFY is an ancient Celtic name that has many associated chiefs and ecclesiastics such as the father of St.BRIDGET; Archbishops of Armagh and ST.DUTHAC, Bishop of Tain and Chief Confessor of Scotland and Ireland. The name DUFFY (and variants) is now world-wide. RE: David Morgan DUFFY This is the most popular Monaghan name and derives from O'Dubhthaigh, descendant of Dubhthach, the black one. The Monaghan Duffys are famed in the ecclesiastical history of Clogher diocese, contributing many priests during the penal times of the early eighteenth century. The sept was centred around Clontibret, where Patrick O'Duffy, Chief of Teallach Gealacain, is recorded as early as 1296. Charles Gavan Duffy (1816-1903), the prominent Young Irelander, was a Monaghan man who went on to become prime minister of Victoria, Australia, as was also Eoin O'Duffy, first commissioner of the Garda Siochána, and first president of the Fine Gael party. In Loving memory of Mark Holmes Horan, our loved one. Ocotober 25, 1957 - July 21,2003 Despite the impediments of quadriplegia, he continually worked at being the "best he could be". Certainly his life was an inspiration to all who knew him. Mark had dreams of running with his dog Magic - now he can! Run with Magic, Mark! Run with the angels! Run! DHD 8/03 |

There are no screening tests for endometrial cancer that are recommended for women who are at average risk for the cancer. Having a yearly pelvic exam and any other exams and tests suggested by your doctor are good ways to check your overall reproductive health. However, they are not very helpful at finding endometrial cancer early.
Your doctor may suggest screening for endometrial cancer in these cases.
Your risk for endometrial cancer is high because you are likely to carry a gene mutation (the mutation is known to be present in your family), or your family has a tendency to get colon cancer, but genetic testing has not been done.
You are known to carry the gene mutations for hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).
You are at high risk and going through menopause.
You have changes in the cells inside your uterus that might turn into cancer.
Women at increased risk should be informed of their risk and advised to see their doctor whenever there is any abnormal vaginal bleeding.
If you are at high risk for endometrial cancer, your doctor may talk to you about an endometrial biopsy. He or she may advise you to have a biopsy periodically after menopause as well. If you are at higher risk for HNPCC, you should be offered testing for endometrial cancer each year with an endometrial biopsy starting at age 35, according to the American Cancer Society.
If your doctor thinks you are at risk, he or she can check for endometrial cancer in these two ways.
Endometrial sampling. Taking a sample of the cells in the lining of the uterus can be done in several ways. With an endometrial biopsy, your doctor inserts a thin flexible tube through your vagina and into your uterus and removes some cells through this tube. Another procedure called a hysteroscopy allow your doctor to see inside your uterus with a small telescope inserted through your cervix. In addition to sampling tissue from the lining of the uterus, polyps or other abnormal tissues can be removed. Sometimes, more cells are needed for examination and a surgical procedure called a dilation and curettage is performed. A special instrument is inserted through the cervix and the lining of the uterus is removed. The sampled cells are examined under a microscope to check for cancer. These tests may cause you some mild discomfort, which feels like menstrual cramps, and bleeding. There is also a risk for possible infection. In rare cases, the wall of your uterus could be punctured.
Transvaginal ultrasound. Your doctor inserts a probe through your vagina and into your uterus. The probe sends out sound waves that echo off the cells of your uterus. A computer translates these sound waves into an image on a nearby screen. In this way, your doctor can see an image of the inside of your uterus.
Neither of these tests is completely accurate. It's possible that your doctor may not be able to detect cancer--even when it is present. On the other hand, it is also possible that it may look like you have cancer when you don't, called a false-positive result. If needed, your doctor can confirm if you have cancer by doing more tests.

If you could ask any pet at an animal shelter they would probably say their Christmas wish would be to have a home of their own. The staff at the Pender County Animal Shelter hope to make that wish come true by holding a Home for the Holidays Adoption on Saturday. And there are plenty of pets to chose from; about 60 dogs and 35 cats.
"Some of the animals have been here 3-4 months, some older animals. A lot of people look at kittens and puppies, but we have older animals that really need homes," said Darlene Clewis of Pender County Animal Control.
Friends of the Shelter president Sue Lorusso added, "There's so many animals that need homes and we don't want to be putting down animals - getting them coming in the shelter and be putting them down, putting them down, putting them down. We'd really like to find new homes for them, especially for the holidays, we'd really like to see that."
While the man goal is to adopt all the animals at the shelter, it will also provide some much needed supplies, especially for the kitten and puppies.
"We do run out of kitten food and puppy food a lot. I guess a lot of people don't buy puppy food and kitten food, they just assume we can use older food for the puppies and kittens which we can not," explained Clewis.
As long as you bring in something off the shelter's Wish List, you can adopt an animal for free. The shelter is opening Saturday to accommodate people who work during the week, but animal control stresses not to adopt unless you are certain.
Clewis added, "This is a lifetime commitment. It's just like a child - it is a lifetime commitment and you've got to be responsible. That means getting spayed and neutered."
The adoption runs from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. As well as food, the shelter is always in need of litter, Clorox and a product called Odo-Ban. You can see what else the shelter needs by going to pendercountyanimalshelter.petfinder.com.
