We report the first observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) at 13.5 GHz made with the Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT) near Cambridge. After removal of foreground radio sources brighter than 10 mJy, using the Ryle Telescope (RT), the map shows evidence for residual structure on a scale of approximately 1/2 deg with an rms variation of 18 mJy. We intend to use multifrequency measurements to distinguish between Galactic and CMBR components.

You think? :\ ,
I already have her predicted as the 2006 Wolrd Lysacek in Boston.
But yes, It's so weird looking at Ladies after he age of Kim\Kostner\Asada,
I can see both Wagner and Gold threatening medals in the next couple of years, And any of the Russians making it through in whichever year trying to hold them
down, I can't see any other European country threatening medals, And I'd imagine we'll get athletes from Japan and South Korea (4CC next year) getting pushed towards 2-3 years from now, i would love to see Edmunds rise, Her body is interesting to watch, I hate hate hate her SP ballroom choreography though !
Unfortunately, Canada doesn't look all that promising - although it rarely does in the ladies event. I know a lot of people like Kaetlyn Osmond. However, she reminds me a lot of Jennifer Robinson. I actually hold out more hope for Gabrielle Daleman.
We'll see.
I don't think the next Olympic cycle will be fantastic for Canada.
We'll just have to wait and see. Polina, Julia, Elena, Karen etc. all have to finish growing and who knows how their skating quality/jumps will be after that? Gracie has had a ton of hype heaped upon her and she's definitely improved her nerves issue with Frank's help but who knows if she'll be able to live up to all the hype the USFSA has produced about her? Even at her best it may not be entirely up to her, as we have seen--at any time some new star can rise up out of nowhere and knock you down the podium and that's that. Looking forward to seeing how the new hierarchy arranges itself!
I think Daleman has potential. She skates with a lot of speed and attacks her programs. Same with Osmond, who I'd like to see diversify in her program choices and interpretation.
It's nice to have Canadian women who don't have a frail deer-in-headlights look, but who actually go out there and skate with confidence.
I don't think they'll be World medal contenders with the depth of the field, but they can certainly get GP medals and top 10 finishes at Worlds to maintain spots.
I'd take Daleman over Osmond as with the better longevity in their career
Daleman has good jumps and good arsenal while Osmond cant barely get a 3-2 let alone just a 3T-3T, she Flutzes and falls occasionally in the FS
Kwanatic's breakdown is pretty spectacular. I think this quad will be all about the U.S. and Russian ladies. I am confident that Adelina can be in it until 2018 and will probably rack up a whole bunch of titles. She finally learned how to compete this season. The sky is truly the limit for her considering her talent level. I can only hope that she uses this time to truly improve artistically and not rest on her laurels. Domestic competition should at least keep her on her toes. Yulia has always worried me. That flexibility can't last forever, and her jumps can be scary (particularly the double axel). I've always thought 2014 was her year, and I am unsure of her prospects going forward. The same goes for the other Russian wunderkinds, but I have a lot of faith in Elena Radionova for whatever reason. That girl has a killer instinct and will do whatever it takes to win. I feel like she is going to will herself through puberty and win World medals no matter what happens. The opposite is true of Anna Pogorilaya, who seems to have the right body to hold out through 2018, but she seems to lack the drive and focus of some of the other top Russian girls. The way she just sat there after falling at the end of her GPF long program is deeply troubling to me.
Gracie has really come into her own at the end of this season, and I for sure see her contending for World titles. Polina is another one who has that competitive instinct and could do very well for herself over the next four years. As for the rest of the U.S. Ladies.....hard to say. There are certainly bright spots (Karen Chen especially). That third spot could be a wild card for the next few years. Or it will probably just go to Ashley Wagner until she retires.....who knows.
I'm really pulling for Satoko Miyahara to come through for Japan. She has such a lovely, unique style and is a marvelous spinner. Li Zijun has World Champion potential, but she needs a lot of work. I wasn't particularly impressed with her level of performance in Sochi. She stayed on her feet, but it was all a bit vacant and low energy.
I'm also excited about ice dance going forward. Pyeongchang is already Ilinykh/Katsalapov's to lose, but as we all know, they can really crash and burn and throw things away. The burden is on Elena and Nikita to focus and deliver for the next four years. Cappellini/Lanotte have an extraordinary opportunity to land on the World podium multiple times between now and 2018....I sincerely hope they stick with it and don't retire. However, they will be the elder statesmen of the ice dance world. Ditto Weaver/Poje, who should benefit from being Canada's number one for the foreseeable future. I wonder what the future holds for Bobrova/Soloviev. Now that I/K have firmly established themselves as Russian #1, I hope the judges completely dump B/S. They were so painfully out of their league in the final free dance flight in Sochi.
The Americans have exciting prospects, but it may be awhile before they're back on the Worlds podium. Chock/Bates are probably good for a National title or two, but Hubbell/Donohue could be biting at their heels. Hawayek/Baker could be on the way up next season, and Aldridge/Eaton have potential. It might even be tough for the Shibs to make it out of Nationals should they continue.
I am also very excited about Papadakis/Cizeron, Hurtado/Diaz, and Gilles/Poirer. Honestly, those were my three favorite free dances of the season, and I hope international judges start to recognize the innovation they bring to the sport. I'd love to see all three teams consistently in the Worlds top 10 going forward.
Well, depends. It likely won't be as promising as this past cycle, of course. I don't know about gold medals, but we do have medal hopes currently. Although that could mean nothing 4 years from now. Our main hopes are W/P, Chan (if he sticks around) MT/M and D/R (I have more faith in MT/M though). I've also got my eye on Nam Nguyen for the future, just got a funny feeling about that kid.
Are W&P planning to stay as long as another Olympics? I kind of assumed they would probably depart at some point before the next Olympics. I guess it depends on how things go season by season.
Chan doesn't sound like he will go to another Olympics, but he says he is interested in going to another Worlds.
I also assume that D&R will move on before the next Olympics, but maybe they'll take it year by year, too. M-T&M say they're planning to go for another Olympics, even though Dylan is getting 'old' in pairs skating terms.
Whooooa.. there will be a lot of new Senior Ladies to watch out for if all these skaters jumps/technique survive their bodies changes and growth spurt. It seems like it will be an exciting 2015 - 2016 season.
I also agree that based on what we've been seeing (depth of Russian field) it seems like in the next quad Russia will reign but I think the US Ladies will also have the chance to reach the podium and will try to dethrone them once in awhile.
Sometimes I feel that way, but it's always hard to know whether that is a good thing or not. Obviously there needs to be new blood and movement, but it can sometimes be difficult to replace the veterans for a while since it can take the new skaters a while to reach that level. And some countries lose spots and entries to Worlds if their top skaters retire.
But perhaps there were more veterans and older skaters staying on for this cycle than there was last time. It also seems that a few of the skaters we thought would retire in 2014 might not do so and may stay until 2018, or at least for a couple more years.
I thinks Chartrand is the best canadian for the future! so much better than Osmond and Daleman... her PB is higher in FS

Campus Technology Advisory Board
CTAB Minutes
Friday, September 25, 2009
Attendance: Eric Hellquist, Larry Fuller, John Kane, Chris Hebblethwaite, Devin Kerr, Jane Winslow, Xiaoquin Irminger, Kari Campbell, Steve Dimarzo, Mike Ameigh, Kimberly McGann, Dave Bozak, Greg Ketcham, Dan Griffin, Joseph Moreau, Sue Fisk, Mike Pisa, Dave McQuin, Tyrone Johnson-Neuland, Natalie Sturr, Jean DuFore, Becky Truax, Pat MacNeill, Rick Buck, Marcia Burrell, Greg Fuller, Mike Regan, Scott Steiger
Approval of Agenda: Agenda approved.
Approval of minutes from May 8, 2009 meeting: Minutes from last meeting accepted.
Purpose of CTAB: Natalie Sturr's Interpretation:
CTAB began sometime the 80's stemming from the Instructional Computer Center. The group meets to discuss the technical needs and aspirations of the college campus working closely with CTS.
Thank you to John Kane for being the chair and seeing the group into the future for the past four years.
Just a reminder that all future CTAB meetings will be in Campus Center 114.
Joe Moreau discussed the Strategic Planning for the campus and handed out a draft with ideas for "Technology Mission and Vision". This will be a major project as we wind our way through needs for the campus and tough economic times now and in the future. Joe has had conversations with both Nick Lyons and President Stanley about a strategic plan for SUNY Oswego as we do not have one in place at this time. They fully support this endeavor and CTAB is to be the primary advisory body. This will be the beginning for a Technology Master Plan. Everyone please review the mission/vision document at your leisure and comment back to Joe.
Academic Division-Mike Ameigh:
No committee as Mike reports from the Provost's office on what is coming up that will affect faculty.
There is a list of people that has been generated that are in line for the Faculty Computer Replacement program. CTS will be working on this and deploying 10-12 computers per month. Another list will be put out as to who is scheduled for each month.
SCAP is back again this year and hope that we can move the process along faster than has been done in the past.
There is little travel money for this year and anyone that wants to travel and qualifies for money through UUP union should do so. This past year we left $4,000 in the fund and we should not do that.
Elections and Bylaws- Dave Bozak: Anyone wishing to join is welcome to do so.
Applications and Equipment Committee-Natalie Sturr:
These two groups merged a few years ago and look at the various application packages that affect the computers that the college community uses or may possibly want.
Natalie's group will meet the first Wednesday of the month at 8:00 am. First meeting will be October 7th in the Lake Effect Café. Two topics of conversation will be Email Services on Campus and calendaring software.
This past summer new email names were deployed and appear to have met the goal of differentiating faculty/staff accounts from student accounts.
Education - John Kane:
Organization for the training of Faculty of new ideas and initiatives.
No monthly meeting date has been set but will do so soon.
Group did jump right into working and suggested doing a Technology Day here on campus.
More info to come at later meetings.
Campus Technology Services-Joseph Moreau:
Welcome to the new and improved CTAB meetings, thank you to John Kane for his years of service and to Marcia Burrell for agreeing to chair.
This past summer Joe worked on getting the CTAB roster up to date and also to have student representatives. Those that have been officially appointed will have name plates.
Initiatives for this year: SCAP Funding - we will be appointing two representatives from the CTAB group. There is $141K in the funds, a little less than before. Joe will get system guidelines from FACT out soon onto the website.
CTS is looking at a complete overhaul of our email system, unhappy with SUN and concerned about the SUN application line.
There is an ever growing need for a calendar system and would be nice to find something that can integrate email and calendaring into one. At this time Joe is having conversations with Google and Microsoft. At the October meeting Microsoft will do a presentation. Think about features you want. CTS is looking to have a recommendation by the end of the fall semester.
Information Security Task force has been meeting for over a year. The group has been looking at how and where sensitive information is stored here on campus and reviewing the current polices. A website for this group will be coming in the future.
Security Systems Management Team has been form at the request of the President's Council and will consist of CTS, Facilities, Residence Life & Housing, Academic Affairs, and University Police. This group will begin meeting monthly and a website to follow on their work.
Devin Kerr's presentation has been put on hold for today and will be rescheduled.
SCAP representatives were nominated and appointed: Chris Hebblethwaite and Steve Dimarzo.
FACT guidelines will be posted to the website soon.
Next meeting will be October 9th from 8:00-9:30 in 114 Campus Center

Updated with comment from Perry's office and White House.
After Texas Gov. Rick Perry told President Barack Obama that a "quick handshake on the tarmac" was not enough time to talk about the crisis on the border, the White House extended an invitation for a longer conversation when the president visits Dallas this week.
Hours after Mr. Perry on Monday rejected an airport encounter and requested a private meeting with the president, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett wrote to the Texas governor and offered a sit-down with Mr. Obama to discuss the surge of children and families from Central America crossing the border illegally.

"The president would welcome a meeting with you while he is in Texas," the letter says. "In addition, he asked me to invite you to join him for a meeting to discuss the situation on the border with faith leaders and local elected officials in Dallas on Wednesday."
By late morning Tuesday, plans were moving forward to schedule a meeting Wednesday in Dallas.
"Governor Perry is pleased that President Obama has accepted his invitation to discuss the humanitarian and national security crises along our southern border, and he looks forward to meeting with the president tomorrow." said Travis Considine, a spokesman for Mr. Perry.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest Tuesday afternoon said Mr. Perry had agreed to join the meeting with faith leaders.
"We are certainly pleased about that," Mr. Earnest said.
Mr. Obama plans to travel to Dallas and Austin Wednesday and Thursday for fundraisers and a speech about the economy. The White House had not previously announced the event in Dallas referenced in the letter.
As the president's trip to Texas has drawn near, the White House and the Texas governor's office have sparred from afar. Mr. Perry has pressured the president to visit the U.S.-Mexico border this week and has chastised the administration for not doing more to secure the border. White House officials have said that if the governor were genuinely concerned about border issues, he would encourage House Republicans to pass immigration legislation.
Ms. Jarrett's letter ticks off a list of steps the administration has taken to address the influx at the border. On Tuesday, the president is expected to request more than $2 billion in emergency funds to deal with the surge of minors entering the country illegally.
"The president hopes you will join him in urging Congress to quickly pass the emergency funding to deal with the current situation at the border," Ms. Jarrett writes. "In addition, the administration continues to press Congress for action on a comprehensive immigration reform."
Mr. Perry sent his own letter to the White House on Monday, telling the president that a handshake on the tarmac wouldn't suffice. The governor sought a "substantive meeting" to discuss border issues.

High-quality replacement for a worn, damaged, or just plain "tired" magazine that no longer feeds correctly on a WWII-era Enfield No. 4 still in its original .303 British chambering.

Some of the world's biggest banks have been hit with a 1.71 billion euros ($2.3 billion) fine for interest-rate rigging by traders, the largest fine ever imposed by the European Commission.
Joaquin Almunia, vice-president of the European Commission and the commissioner responsible for competition, said in a statement: "What is shocking about the Libor and Euribor scandals is not only the manipulation of benchmarks, which is being tackled by financial regulators worldwide, but also the collusion between banks who are supposed to be competing with each other.
"Today's decision sends a clear message that the commission is determined to fight and sanction these cartels in the financial sector. Healthy competition and transparency are crucial for financial markets to work properly, at the service of the real economy rather than the interests of a few," he added.
The offenses involved traders conspiring to fix the European interbank offered rate, known as Euribor, and its Japanese equivalent, the Yen London interbank offered rate -- Yen Libor, for profit.
The banks to be fined are Citigroup (C), Deutsche Bank (DB), Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), JPMorgan (JPM) and Societe Generale.

At the other end of the scale, U.K. broker RP Martin was fined 247,000 euros for one infringement relating to Yen Libor.
Investigations into Credit Agricole, HSBC (HSBC), JPMorgan and broker Icap are ongoing.
"The settlement makes no finding that JPMorgan Chase management had any knowledge or involvement in the conduct at issue, or that the traders' actions had any impact on the firm's Libor submissions or the published Libor rates," a JPMorgan spokeswoman said in a statement.
The bank "intends to defend itself fully" against additional allegations its traders rigged Euribor -- but has admitted that its employees rigged Yen Libor.
UBS has previously admitted taking part in the rigging of Yen Libor, but has avoided a 2.5 billion fine by blowing the whistle on other banks. It took part in five violations of regulations uncovered by the EC, while other banks involved took part in 1-3 infringements.
Barclays, which also avoided a 690 million euros fine from the European Commission over its role in Euribor manipulation, was the first bank to announce a fine over the London equivalent, Libor, last year, which kicked off a slew of revelations about the fixing of the rate, which affects things like the rates paid on mortgages and savings. The interest-rate rigging is one of many reputational issues facing global banks at the moment.

Review: Nvidia's Quadro K5000
By: Matt Silverman
- 1536 CUDA cores
- 256-bit memory interface
- four digital outputs
My company Swordfish was established in October 2012, focusing on motion design for marketing and software development. As a startup, I tried to make smart, economical decisions, and having owned a few previous companies in this industry, I'd learned a few key lessons that I was determined to take to heart. One of those lessons is that equipment quickly becomes obsolete, and I would rather invest in brains than boxes.
I found that the best bang for our buck was to hunt down a few used 8-Core Mac Pros on Craigslist to get off the ground, and continue to accumulate more of these workstations as our jobs required more artists. These Macs averaged $1,200 each, with some requiring a few hundred dollars extra for additional RAM to bump them all over 32GBs. Over the past 18 months, we accumulated 12 of these workstations. Uberware Smedge software allows us to render across these workstations in the background while artists continue to work, and turns the studio into a full renderfarm at night. We wrote custom submit scripts for After Effects, Maya, Cinema4D, Houdini, Nuke, and Handbrake to help automate queueing, allowing freelancers to quickly get up to speed. If renders are too intensive for our internal farm, we send the renders to the Amazon cloud using Zync Render (Maya/Nuke), or Houdini's native support. We also use the cloud for nightly backups to Amazon S3 and project archiving to Amazon Glacier.
While the cost effective CPU solution we found helps crunch through the heavy lifting, it doesn't help improve the user experience while setting up our projects. That's where a GPU comes into play. Traditionally associated with 3D acceleration, in recent years many 2D applications started to take advantage of the GPU, accelerating everything from color correction to motion tracking. The GPUs contained in most of our used Macs were the stock cards, adequate for most of our design tasks. For heavier 3D tasks, we added Nvidia Quadro K5000s shortly after they became available.
As our business expanded, we found ourselves needing more editorial and color correction. Using an older 2008 Mac Pro, we converted our only private office into an edit suite. We added a Blackmagic card to drive a color calibrated 50-inch Panasonic plasma display, along with another Nvidia Quadro K5000 GPU to power Adobe Premiere and Da Vinci Resolve. Just like that, we had an editing/grading suite, and thanks to the awesome local freelance talent pool in San Francisco, we had amazing editors and colorists to jump in and help out.
I'm amazed at how affordable and accessible tools like Resolve have become, and the Nvidia GPU acceleration in both Resolve and our other core applications really helps us cut through our projects. One recent project involved a series of camera map effects, where we projected 2D imagery onto rough 3D geometry to create a sense of parallax. Hovering 3D type locked in place as if it was shot in the environment. Though we had multiple artists camera mapping in different applications (After Effects, Nuke, and Cinema4D), we were able to export the cameras to AE and do all of the 3D type using the Advanced 3D Raytracing engine powered by the K5000. This gave us consistent extrusions, bevels, and shaders on every shot, and allowed for extremely fast re-renders of the After Effects comp.
Our most recent project was a series of vision pieces for a large client. They provided us with nine conceptual hardware products and we helped them develop scenarios in which to show them off. After collaborating closely through a brainstorming session, we went on to write scripts, create storyboards, build props, and schedule a live-action production. We spent three days directing the shoot with a Sony F55 digital film camera, including taking over Market Street in downtown San Francisco. Every night we would run the data back to our studio for backup to our server, and start to convert the 4K RAW MXF files to HD ProRes QuickTimes using Resolve.
The Nvidia GPU acceleration in Resolve is amazing. Everything in Resolve is super snappy, even with us pulling frames from our Mac Mini server with a Thunderbolt RAID over Gigabit. Playback is in realtime, color correction is smooth, tracking "power windows" is fast, and exporting QTs to 1080HD spits out at an impressive 50fps. Editing was then performed in Premiere.
The K5000 GPU accelerates Premiere's realtime capabilities, allowing for more effects and layers to co-exist in realtime. Split-screens, alpha channels from AE renders, and realtime LUTs allowed us to efficiently edit our offline. Once the edit was complete we exported XML files back to Resolve and re-linked the selects to the original 4K RAW MXF files. We then exported 2K effects shots as 32-bit EXR files which once again used the GPU to spit out at 8fps. Comps were completed in AE combining the EXR plates with 3D renders from C4D, Maya and Houdini, along with UIs designed by Swordfish and the client. EXR renders are quickly checked with Tweak Software's RV playback engine, which also uses the K5000 to handle realtime playback with LUTs. Comps were rendered from After Effects and over-cut in Premiere. After final approval, we brought in a freelance colorist to do final color grading in Resolve and finished with a final conform in Premiere.
The workflow on this project was flawless. Our used Mac Pros, combined with the K5000s and skilled artists, give us the power to compete with anyone in town. At the end of the day, all of our workstations, including extra RAM and GPUs, cost about the same as two new, fully-loaded Mac Pros. Getting 96 cores with 12 older Mac Pros serves our needs more effectively than an equivalent spend for 24 cores with two new Mac Pros. More importantly, it allowed us to save money, build up cash, and move into a new studio, complete with three edit suites and a space full of workstations for artists to work on and generate more income.

COLUMBIA — A Centralia man died when his truck ran off a road northeast of Columbia on Tuesday night.
Duane A. Lyons, 33, was traveling eastbound on Maupin Lane, ran off the left side of the road in a Ford F350 truck, a Boone County Sheriff's Department news release said. Lyons overcorrected, driving the truck off the road again, when it struck several trees and flipped.
Lyons was not wearing his seatbelt, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

YOUNGSTOWN (August 2, 2011) Former World Middleweight Champion and current World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 1-rated super middleweight contender KELLY The Ghost PAVLIKs professional boxing comeback took a wrong turn inasmuch as Pavlik withdrew from his upcoming 10-round bout against Darryl Cunningham today. The Pavlik-Cunningham bout was scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, OH, and was to be televised live on SHOWTIME® as the main event of a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation. Both the broadcast and the live event have been canceled. Ticketholders can get a refund by returning their tickets to the place of purchase.. Top Rank is very disappointed at Kellys sudden decision to discontinue the rebuilding of his boxing career, said Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank, Pavliks promoter. Kellys team specifically outlined a strategy for Kelly to return to the ring in an effective fashion. Kellys team gave us their objectives and we set them on a course, which began last May with Kellys fight against Alfonso Lopez and was to continue on Saturday against Darryl Cunningham. It seems Kelly has derailed this plan.

Jonathan Hamm, St. Paul, Minn., 20-10 Twenty Athletes Live to Box Another Day Following Victories in Challengers Bracket Action at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Mens Boxing (MOBILE, ALA.) The third day of action at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Mens Boxing showcased 20 challengers on Tuesday night at the Mobile Civic Center in Mobile, Ala. The 40 boxers competing in the evenings action were all fighting for tournament lives with 20 boxers going home on Tuesday. Several bouts were decided by close margins as the contestants left everything they had in the ring with numerous bouts coming down to tiebreakers. 2011 USA Boxing National Championships silver medalist Toka Kahn Clary (Providence, R.I.) and three-time National Golden Gloves champion Erick DeLeon (Lincoln Park, Mich.) faced off in one of the best bouts of the evening in their challengers bracket contest. DeLeon took the first lead and held on to a slim advantage throughout the bout, going into the final round up one. Yet Kahn Clary didnt give up, giving DeLeon a standing eight count in the final seconds of the bout to win a 20-19 final decision. George Rincon (Carrollton, Texas) defeated another reigning National Golden Gloves titlist in his light welterweight contest with Michael Reed (Waldorf, Md.). Once again, the bout was close throughout but Rincon held a slim one-point lead as the contest moved into the last three minutes of action. When the final bell sounded, the two boxers were deadlocked at 15 and Rincon claimed the win on his 83-81 total punch count advantage. The last two middleweight national champions faced off on Tuesday night with 2011 titlist Chris Pearson (Trotwood, Ohio) and 2010 gold medalist Luis Arias (Milwaukee, Wis.) competing for one spot. It was Arias claiming a two-point lead and extending it to a still tenuous three-point advantage after two. Pearson came flying back in the third, tying the bout in the final seconds. Yet Arias won the 16-16 tiebreaker on his 87-78 total punch count edge. Following what seemed to be the theme of the night, the light heavyweight showdown between 2010 National Champion Jeffery Spencer (Fort Carson, Colo.) and Last Chance Qualifier titlist Shaborn Ryals (Capitol Heights, Md.) went down to the wire. Yet Spencer remained alive in the tournament with a 12-11 decision over Ryals. 2010 USA Boxing Athlete of the Year Steve Geffrard (Boca Raton, Fla.) survived Tuesdays action as well, winning a 23-20 decision over Last Chance Qualifier champion Robert Jekabson (Chicago, Ill.). In a battle of two familiar foes, 2011 USA Boxing National Champion Jonathan Hamm (St. Paul, Minn.) took on Dominic Breazale (Alhambra, Calif.) in the final bout of the evening. The towering boxers went toe-to-toe but Breazale won the bout on a 20-10 decision. The winners bracket will return to action on Wednesday with all of the boxers competing for a spot in the tournament final bout while the challenger bracket takes part in third day competition. The 2011 Junior Olympic National Championships opened their tournament on Tuesday with first round bouts taking place in the morning session at the Mobile Civic Center. The full results from the first day of junior action can be found below.

Edgar Alvarado I was down a point and tried to pick it up the last round and throw small combinations. When the official took a point away it made me more anxious to win. Going into the fight, my coach told me to use my jab and keep my distance. Luis Feliciano Being in the challengers bracket its do or die, win or go home. Im willing to do anything to get this Olympic spot. I tried to use my distance in this fight, and Im pretty sure I won the fight in the last thirty seconds. Going into the last round and knowing it was close, I tried to keep my composure and I had a lot of experience to help me with that. Against Tramaine Williams, Im going to have to apply pressure. Luis Arias I knew Chris Pearson was coming hard and ready, it was whoever wanted it the most that was going to win. I tired a little at the end, my body more so then my lungs. I just had to dig deep. I knew I was just as strong and fast as my opponent, and I had a good game plan and we stuck to it. Edgar Alvarado and I had a good fight in the first round and expect another. Steve Geffrard Tonight I felt great, I was landing the cleaner blows and using my jab from the outside. I knew I couldnt stand in front of Robert Jekabson, because I knew he had power. I think I can definitely beat Joseph Williams in the next round, its going to be a chess match. Im looking forward to seeing Michael Hunter in the finals, but I got to take it one day at a time.

The Cathedral is located in the historic downtown section of St. John's, at 16 Church Hill, though the main entrances to attend services are on Gower Street between Church Hill and Cathedral Street. (more information here)
The information on these pages is updated at least once per week. The last update was on Sunday, 3 May 2015.
The Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador in the Anglican Province of Canada (Atlantic Canada and most of Quebec), which is in turn part of the Anglican Church of Canada. Rebuilt following the Great Fire of 1892 according to its original design, the Cathedral is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture and is home to an awe-inspiring Casavant pipe organ. (Text continues below the picture of the quire and organ.)
The Cathedral offers five services each Sunday, and a further eighteen weekday services. Two of the Sunday services are fully choral and are based on traditional liturgies from the Book of Common Prayer.
Founded in 1699 as a parish church, and consecrated as a Cathedral in 1850, this is the oldest Anglican establishment in Canada. Our parish family serves the needs of a diverse downtown community in a growing city, while attracting people from all of St. John's and the neighbouring communities. We invite you to become part of our spiritual home.
The inscription in Latin at the bottom of the crest is "Illum Oportet Crescere Me Autem Minui". The text is from St. John 3:30: "He [Jesus Christ] must increase, but I [John the Baptist] must decrease".

Turnover Time
It's that season of the year again when departments close their faculty searches and select, sometimes with great difficulty, those who will join their ranks. Here are the first to be confirmed, as well as some other faculty comings and goings.
Moving In
Khristina Haddad will become the political theory pillar of the Political Science Department, succeeding Hwa Jol Yung, who retired last year. She holds a B.A. from Reed College and an M.A. from McGill University in Québec, and she has just received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Khristina was raised bilingually in Germany and also has earned a certificate in Russian language studies from the Alexander Herzen Institute in St. Petersburg.
The History Department has picked Sandy Bardsley for its medievalist, succeeding Janet Loengard, who retires at the end of the academic year. (Janet will continue to teach courses such as "Victorian Women" as a professor emerita.) A native of New Zealand, Sandy has been teaching at Emory and Henry College in Virginia and has a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her accent is an interesting mixture of the Antipodean and the Appalachian.
James E. Johnson will be a visiting assistant professor of African-American history next year while Ros Remer is on sabbatical. He holds a B.A. from Rowan University and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
To succeed Tom Parkinson, who will retire at the end of the academic year, the Department of Economics and Business has chosen Gary Kaskowitz, who holds a B.S. in computer science from the University of Illinois, an M.B.A. from Averett College, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland. He also spent several years as a marketing manager for Verizon.
Susan Schneider, whose specialization is philosophy of the mind and of cognition (including pyschology), will join the Department of Philosophy as an instructor. She holds a B.S. from the University of California at Berkeley and expects her Ph.D. from Rutgers University this spring.
Philosophy also awaits the return of Carol Moeller, assistant professor, from a two-year fellowship at Johns Hopkins University.
Moving On
Koffi Maglo, visiting assistant professor of philosopy, will join the faculty of two institutions when he leaves Moravian at the end of the academic year. The University of Cincinnati and Massachusetts Institute of Technology worked out a compromise whereby Koffi will spend next year as a visiting assistant professor at MIT, offering courses co-listed in the linguistics and philosophy department; the Program in Science, Technology, and Society; and the Dibner Institute for the history of science. In 2004-05, he will become an assistant professor teaching philosophy of science and bioethics at Cincinnati. He also will maintain a consulting relationship with the National Human Genome Center at Howard University. We also will bid farewell to Jean Halley, assistant professor of sociology, at the end of the academic year.

Lexington Hears 2nd Premiere in a Year
A composer who's created two unique pieces for Lexington audiences returns tomorrow to the Singletary Center. Last summer, Daniel Kellogg's "Look up at the Sky" was performed for the first time during theChamber Music Festival of Lexington. Friday evening, Kellogg's composition, How Radiant the Dawn, is performed by the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra.
"They are working really hard to bring new and interesting ideas and a really interesting program to this community. And you can look at orchestras in towns of a similar size across the country and you will not see this kind of thing going on in most of those places," said Kellogg.
Kellogg, who's a professor at the University of Colorado, has also composed pieces for the National Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. The Lexington Philharmonic, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this season, also performs works from Schubert and Beethoven.

The Syrian rebel Yarmouk Shuhada Brigades, backed and trained in Jordan for two years by US officers and supported by the Israeli army, has abruptly dumped them and switched to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, debkafile's exclusive sources reveal. This sudden defection leaves IDF defense formations on the Golan, US and Jordanian deployments in the northern part of the kingdom, and pro-Western rebel conquests in southern Syria in danger of collapse. ISIS gains direct access to a long section of Israel's Golan border with Syria.

Shortly before President Barack Obama was to unveil his strategy for tackling ISIS in Iraq and Syria Wednesday, Sept. 10, US and Syrian officers held secret talks for coordinating their military efforts in Syria against the common foe, debkafile reveals exclusively. The Syrian officers, on the authority of President Bashar Assad, met on the quiet several times with American officers in the capital of one of the Gulf emirates – probably Muscat in Oman. The Syrian side of the US campaign is judged to be more complicated than the operation in Iraq.

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived in Israel Wednesday May 14 for talks with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon from an inspection of the US-Jordanian underground command center located 10 kilometers north of Amman, debkafile reports. It was the first visit by a high-ranking US official to a US military facility directly involved in the Syrian war. His talks in Jordan and Israel will determine whether the US-backed rebel forces engaged in battle for control of the Golan town of Quneitra, open a new southern front against Bashar Assad and threaten Damascus.

Nine Syrian rebel militias are advancing on the main Syrian Golan town of Quneitra (pop: 20,000) to wrest from the Syrian army its last Golan foothold with access to the Israeli border. The first objective of their Operation "Levant of the Prophet" is to seize the Quneitra-Ein Zivan crossing, before targeting Quneitra the town. Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who visited the Golan Tuesday, May 13, said, "Syrian rebels have pushed Assad's military into a corner." debkafile: Quneitra's fall would free the Golan and S. Syria of the presence of Assad's army and Hizballah.

Two Syrian rebel militias judged moderate in Washington have in the last few days taken delivery and begun using the first advanced US weapon to be deployed in more than three years of civil war, debkafile reveals. It is the heavy anti-tank, optically-tracked, wire-guided BGM-71 TOW.

The Obama administration is again doubling back on its Syrian war policy. On Dec. 11, the Saudi-backed Islamic Front rebels inflicted a disastrous defeat on the pro-American Free Syrian Army in northern Syria. debkafile reports that Washington reacted by launching a secret approach to win over the Islamic Front, the most powerful force now battling the Assad regime. Voices in Washington are urging the White House to start talking to Bashar Assad, leading the administration to consider forming a Syrian lineup to save the country from falling to Al Qaeda.

The suspension of US-UK non-lethal military aid to the Syrian opposition in the north – ostensibly to keep it out of Islamist hands – is only part of the story. The aid will be put in the hands of the pro-American rebel forces deployed to man a new security zone the two powers are carving out in the south, as a barrier against al Qaeda's encroachments on the Jordanian, Israeli, and Lebanese borders, as well as Damascus. Two war rooms in Irbid, Jordan will run the operation under a US general.

Bashar Assad's army achieved a signal strategic breakthrough Sunday, Dec. 8, by its conquest of Nabuk in the Qalamoun Mountains. The rebel forces have been thrown into disarray, leaving only Jabhat al Nusra and the Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda fit to fight Assad. Syrian rebels have therefore found Washington turning a cold shoulder and developing indirect contacts with pro-Assad army elements and, through British diplomats, Hizballah. On the Syrian uprising's 1,000th day, the same US-Russian-Iranian coalition which fixed the Geneva nuclear accord is moving into position for a Syrian solution.

Senior Israeli intelligence sources insisted to debkafile Thursday May 30 that Syria had still not received any Russian S-300 anti-missile batteries – contrary to Syrian President Bashar Assad's claim that the first batch had arrived. Israel says it will destroy them before they are operational.

The Obama administration's slowcoach policy on Syria has given Iran and Hizballah unfettered access to intervene in the Syrian civil war, magnifying its lethality and prospects of its spilling over into Israel, Turkey and Jordan, says debkafile. It will further deteriorate when Washington's expectations of an international conference are not recprocated by Moscow.

Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu, while in Shanghai, faced a sharp dressing-down from President Vladimir Putin Monday, May 6 and a warning that further Israeli attacks on Damascus would not be tolerated. Putin said highly advanced Russian weapons, including S-300 air defense systems, would be supplied at speed to Syria.

Syria Thursday, July 12, test-fired advanced Scud D missiles capable of carrying chemical weapons and nerve gas and "hitting targets deep within enemy territory" as part of its war exercise. In Washington, US officials disclosed that Bashar Assad had moved parts of his huge arsenal of sarin nerve agent, mustard gas and cyanide out of storage. One warned of "the precedent of WMD being used under our watch," calling it "incredibly dangerous to our national security."

Beijing has distanced itself from the Assad regime, according to a secret exchange of messages with the Obama administration, revealed here exclusively by debkafile. China will no longer be a problem for America in dealing with Assad. That leaves only Russia, said the last message. Washington counts this change as a return on its nuclear appeasement of Tehran. The Chinese decided to accommodate US policy on Syria now that the loosening of the embargo on Iranian oil is in sight. Assad has started selling off gold reserves in Dubai.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal marched out of the Friends of Syria conference in Tunis Friday, Feb. 24, after representatives of 70 nations fell in behind US plans designed to avoid direct action against Syria's Bashar Assad. Riyadh accuses Washington of reducing Assad's butchery of his opponents to the level of a humanitarian issue to save his regime and keep Iran on track for nuclear negotiations. The "safe haven" plan is seen as giving the Syrian ruler international immunity.

debkafile's military experts conclude from the way Damascus described the episode Wednesday, Sept. 6, that the Pantsyr-S1E missiles, purchased from Russia to repel air assailants, failed to down the Israeli jets accused of penetrating northern Syrian airspace from the Mediterranean the night before.
The new Pantsyr missiles therefore leave Syrian and Iranian airspace vulnerable to hostile intrusion. The Israeli plane or planes were described by a Syrian military spokesman as "forced to leave by Syrian air defense fire after dropping ammunition over deserted areas without causing casualties." He warned "the Israeli enemy against repeating its aggressive action" and said his government reserved the right to respond in an appropriate manner. Western intelligence circles stress that information on Russian missile consignments to Syria or Iran is vital to any US calculation of whether to attack Iran over its nuclear program. They assume that the "absolute jamming immunity" which the Russian manufactures promised for the improved Pantsyr missiles was immobilized by superior electronic capabilities exercised by the jets before they were "forced to leave." Syria took delivery in mid-August of 10 batteries of sophisticated Russian Pantsyr-S1E Air Defense Missile fire control systems with advanced radar, those sources report. They have just been installed in Syria.

The threat of military action was embedded in the UN Security Council resolution. It was reinforced by US Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice when she spoke of "serious' consequences" - diplomatic parlance for military action - should Syria fail to cooperate with the final and conclusive part of UN investigator Dehlev Mehlis' inquiry into the murder of Lebanese leader Rafiq Hariri last February.
Faced with this torrent of menacing language, Bashar Assad's close associates have already decided that escape is the better part of valor. Influential Syrian VIPs appear to have read the UN resolution carefully last week and are absconding. debkafile's intelligence sources reveal large cash withdrawals from Syrian banks, currency conversions and transfers to banks outside the country. |
