Thanks to Mrs. Lipton, we have "Driving Miss Daisy."
Thanks to Mrs. Lipton, we have "The March of the Penguins," "Glory" and "The Shawshank Redemption."
Thanks to Mrs. Lipton, we have an Oscar-winning performance in "Million Dollar Baby."
According to Morgan Freeman, the aforementioned Mrs. Lipton is pretty much responsible for his career. He was a struggling actor when they met, and she worked at the unemployment office in New York City. Freeman couldn't find a day job to pay the bills because Mrs. Lipton insisted on categorizing Freeman as a "clerk-typist."
Prospective employers wouldn't hire him because they were concerned that he would bolt the minute he got an acting gig. He complained to Mrs. Lipton, and she changed his classification to "actor." She then smiled and said, "Go be an actor."
"And I did," Freeman said.
The 75-year-old actor, who won an Academy Award under Clint Eastwood's direction and has been nominated four other times ("Daisy," "Shawshank," "Invictus" and "Street Smart"), is a superstar with critics and audiences alike. His films have grossed more than $3 billion, placing him 10th on the all-time list, and he will attempt to add to that total this spring.
He plays the acting president of the United States after North Korean terrorists take over the White House and capture the president and most of his Cabinet in "Olympus Has Fallen," which opens Friday. On April 19, he and Tom Cruise battle aliens in the post-Apocalyptic thriller "Oblivion."
He concedes that the latter film is the type of role that really challenges him. The former, in which he is asked once again to play a character of class, dignity and gravitas, has made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood.
Need an actor to play the president ("Deep Impact")? Get Freeman. Need an actor to play a high school principal ("Lean on Me")? Get Freeman. Need an actor to play God ("Bruce Almighty")? Get Freeman.
The actor will try to explain how he exudes gravitas on the big screen but, more importantly, he will tell us what he learned from Spencer Tracy about the craft of acting.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: Explain the subtle differences between playing a pimp, as you did in "Street Smart," and speaker of the House in "Olympus Has Fallen."
MORGAN FREEMAN: The differences aren't that subtle (laughs). There's a major difference. The pimp has a very volatile nature. Playing the speaker of the House, you don't have that freedom to go off.
Q. As an actor, you must feel much more restrained playing the politician.
A. Yes, much more restrained. And older. You'd always want someone with some gravitas.

VANCEBORO – Senior night for the West Craven Eagles baseball team began with celebration and smiles – but it ended in hardship and heartache.
The Eagles built a 7-2 lead going into the fifth inning Tuesday, before hot Jacksonville bats and self-inflicted errors led to an 8-7 defeat.
With all of the ups and downs the team has gone through this season, this may have been the lowest of lows to date.
"It's pretty tough to take," West Craven coach Mike McKeel said. "We battled all night, just never could deliver that knockout punch. Credit Jacksonville, they didn't quit and neither did we, they just did more to win than we did."
Logan Nobles started the game and pitched well for West Craven, allowing five runs (three earned) over five innings pitched.
Justin Taylor led the Eagle bats going 1-for-4 with a double, run scored and three RBIs.
Jacksonville (11-7-1, 7-4) scored three runs to chase Nobles in the fifth to cut the deficit to 7-5, then three more in the seventh off Taylor, who was in in relief and took the loss.
Chad Shepard started for the Cardinals, then exited after six, giving way to Blake Heatherly to pick up the win with a 1-2-3 seventh.
The Eagles made three errors for the game, two in the final two frames, as the Cardinals made five, but none after the fourth.
The Eagles started six seniors in Nobles, shortstop Tyler Williams, first baseman Jackson Parker, leftfielder Josh Pate, centerfielder Michael Coombs and catcher Hunter Hackney.
"It's been a special group of kids to coach throughout their high school careers and whenever the day comes that I don't get to coach them anymore, it's going to be really sad for me," McKeel said.
West Craven falls to 9-12 overall and 4-7 in the Coastal Conference.
With the loss, West Craven falls into a tie with Havelock for fifth place in the Coastal Conference.
The top five in the conference all qualify for the state playoffs.
"As bad as tonight's loss hurts, we have West Carteret Thursday at their place and we still have a chance to make the playoffs with three road games left, so we just have to have a good practice tomorrow and be ready Thursday," McKeel said.
The Eagles honored nine seniors in all, including reserves Blake Feller, J.J. Phifer and Jordan Hill in addition to the six starters.
West Craven travels to West Carteret (11-7, 7-4) Thursday, while Jacksonville travels to Havelock Friday.
Jacksonville – 0 1 1 0 3 0 3 – 8 11 5
West Craven – 3 1 1 2 0 0 0 – 7 6 3

Apparently gésir has an incomplete conjugation—it only works in the present tense. This confuses me. How would I say "I would lie down" or "I will lie down", etc?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
French Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the French language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Gésir implies more than just lying down; the subject has to be incapacitated and not be able to move. It's mainly used on dead people's graves, where ci-gît stands for "here lies ..."
« Gésir » is also used at the imparfait. It will be strange if you use it for anything but dead, wounded or otherwise incapacitated persons or animals. « Être couché » is what is commonly used.
You can find all the common conjugations of gésir at le conjugueur. You have imparfait and present participle, too. As to I would lie down and its mates, I would use je serais couché, as in [se coucher].
Or you could innovate. Try j'aurais gési, je giserais…

G.F. FITZGERALD & LOL COXHILL: The Poppy Seed Affair (2CD and DVD set)
Numbered, Limited Edition of 500 copies. The 30 minute mini-feature film that forms the centre of this release was made in1981 by �60�s/70s zeitgeist troublemakers Ian Hinchcliffe, Jeff Nuttall, Mark Long, Gerry FitzGerald, Lol Coxhill & Foxy. The soundtrack was the work of Lol Coxhill � sometimes part of a trio with drummer Robert Wyatt (who also contributes a passable chicken imitation) and (Kevin Ayers�) bassist Archie Leggett. Nuttall is excellent as the narrator, after the portentous style of Edgar Lustgarten, of a sordid tale of treachery and murder. The others ham it up outrageously.Then there are two CDs mastered directly from rare recordings from the Fitzgerald archives. The first is a close-miked concert recording of his duo with Lol at Newcastle�s Spectro Arts Workshop in 1981. The second collects tape pieces, starting with Listen Collage, reconstructing, in Faust Tapes style, random room recordings: bedroom radios, tape recorders and ambient street sounds from London�s Ladbrooke Grove in the spring of 1969 � an invaluable window on time much written about but audially lost. Then there are two extended works for prepared guitars and effects ending in the sample-loop Band In My Head. And, to close, a tape collage made for The Matchbox Purveyors� stage show: The Team. In a numbered limited edition of 500 copies. NTSC - all region.

Academic Home RunPosted Jun. 3, 2010
Scholarship honors family's historic baseball legacy
It's been more than 50 years since Kent State alumna Lois Youngen was an outfielder and catcher in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League — but it's clear she still has a passion for the sport. On a sunny May afternoon last year — a day when she's being honored for endowing a scholarship in her father's name for a Golden Flash baseball player — she's cheering on her alma mater's team. And from her vantage point in the Schoonover Stadium stands, it's obvious Dr. Youngen disagrees with the third-base coach's decision to hold a runner as the batted ball soars.
"It's going to drop in. Go for two!" she calls out, then pauses to evaluate the opposing pitcher's performance. "Better pull that left-hander."
Thankfully for the ardent sports fan and Kent State booster, the hold has no impact — the Flashes easily pull off a decisive 6-1 victory over Miami.
* * *
Lois Youngen was a second-generation Kent Stater; both parents attended, and her father, Elden "Ty" Youngen, was captain of the baseball team in 1926. But when she arrived in 1951, there were no women's varsity sports. So for four summers, Dr. Youngen played on the league made famous in the 1992 comedy A League of Their Own, on such teams as the Fort Wayne Daisies and the South Bend Blue Sox.
Started as a way of filling ballparks during World War II, the league continued into the mid-'50s. And throughout four summers, Dr. Youngen and her teammates traveled the Midwest to play every night, with doubleheaders on Sundays — "and by August, we prayed for rain," she says. This was baseball, not softball, and the women took all of the knocks and tumbles their male counterparts did — except they did it in a dress. Dr. Youngen still recalls her reaction the first time she saw the uniforms, which were designed by the wife of league owner Philip K. Wrigley: "'We're going to have to play ball in that?' They showed a lot of leg, which I guess was the goal."
For Dr. Youngen, it was more than just a pastime; it paid her Kent State tuition. But her participation rankled some faculty members.
"I had difficulty with my women professors because I didn't stop playing," she says. "They didn't know what to do with me, and I felt I could never please them. This was before Title IX," the federal law that brought gender equity to collegiate sports.
But other professors were supportive. After she received her first A, in a zoology course, legendary professor J. Arthur Herrick asked her to be his assistant. Her academic success continued when she earned a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1955, followed by a master's degree from Michigan State and a doctorate from Ohio State.
Education played a major role in the Youngen family; her mother, Helen, was an elementary school teacher, and her father, Elden, was a principal and superintendent. And despite being told by college professors that physical education "wasn't ladylike," for more than four decades Dr. Youngen make a successful career out of that field — most notably at the University of Oregon, where she taught a variety of activity and theory courses, and led the Department of Physical Activity and Recreation Services until 1996.
It was a long way from her early days at Kent State, when her love of sports was considered so improper.
* * *
Back in the stands, Dr. Youngen is regaling a fan with stories from her baseball days — even as she stops mid-sentence to call out, "Fair ball!" when a ball soars into the outfield. But it is her lifetime in academia that led her to respond to the university's call to fund its top priority, scholarships, by endowing one for a Kent State baseball player as part of the Centennial Campaign.
"There are lots of students who can't afford to go to college," she says. "I thought it was appropriate because my father was an educator, my mother was an educator, I was an educator."
But perhaps more important is her understanding of the challenges college student-athletes face.
"These players might not go on to the next level," she says, "so I think it's important that they graduate so they can go on to their next level."

Comments about Serfas Avid BB7/JUICY Brake Pads:
Yes, these brake pads are cheap and have exelent braking power but will wear out your rotor in no time. I had to replace my rotor after a few months of use because these pads wore it thin.
IMO spend a few bucks more for good pads and save the money that you would have to spend on a new rotor.
Best Uses
Comments about Serfas Avid BB7/JUICY Brake Pads:
I ride approx 3-4 days a week in Southern California and was looking for an alternative to Avid pads. I tried the Serfas pads as they were semi metallic and have been quite pleased with the performance. I ride in mostly dry conditions so I can't speak of how these pads do in wet/muddy conditions but for my purpose they work great!
No squeal and the pads seem to last just as long as the factory Avid pads.
I bought a few pair of these and will probably purchase more when I wear through them.
Best Uses
Comments about Serfas Avid BB7/JUICY Brake Pads:
I recently installed these pads on a cross country bike and ran it during both sunny and heavy rain conditions. The pads worked well under both dry and wet conditions with only a minor amount of squeel in very wet conditions.
They work at least as well as some pads that cost twice as much and I am quite satisfied with them. I will buy more of them when replacement time arrives.
Comments about Serfas Avid BB7/JUICY Brake Pads:
I couldn't find any on-line reviews of these things, but decided to take a chance - price is right, and I've been relatively happy with other Serfas products I've owned in the past (tires, grips). First - just to let everyone know, these do come with the spring clip. I've got about 5 good rides on them so far (2-4 hours each), and they work great - feel the same as the Avid semi-metalics they replaced, including both dry and several wet rides - literally in the rain with plenty of mud.
Comments about Serfas Avid BB7/JUICY Brake Pads:
These brake pads looked like a good deal. The same few companies probably make the same pads and sell them under different retailers. However and whomever makes these pads uses a compound that lasted us about 2 weeks of touring in Northern India. Our Avid brake pads lasted roughly three times as long. Just our experience. Spend a few more bucks for a few more miles of riding!

Reynolds v. Sims caused district lines to cross county lines, causing legislators to be on multiple county councils. This led to the passage of the Home Rule Act of 1975, which created county councils that were independent of the General Assembly. However, some functions that in many other states are performed by county governments are still handled by county legislative delegations in South Carolina.
The General Assembly meets in joint session to elect judges, with all 170 members having an equal vote in such elections.
As of May 2015, South Carolina is one of 23 Republican state government trifectas.
Article III of the South Carolina Constitution establishes when the Legislature is to be in session. Section 9 of Article III states that the Legislature is to convene on the second Tuesday of January each year. Section 9 allows the General Assembly to recede from session for up to thirty days by a majority vote of the legislative house seeking to recede. Furthermore, one or both houses can recede from session for more than thirty days if that action is approved by two-thirds of the members.

In 2011, the Legislature was in regular session from January 11 through June 2. [3] On June 2, Governor Nikki Haley attempted to call the Legislature into an "emergency" special session to begin on June 7 to create the new South Carolina Department of Administration. A lawsuit was filed by Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, in which he contended that Haley's call for a special session was unconstitutional, and that it violated the state Constitution's requirement of separation of powers among the governor, legislature and courts. [4] On June 6, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled 3-2 against Governor Haley, stating that her order violated the Legislature's ability to set its calendar and agenda. [5]
The legislature met in a special redistricting session from June 14 - July 1. [6] The legislature re-convened July 26. [7]

Ethics and transparency
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. South Carolina was given a grade of C in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[9]
The South Carolina Senate is the upper house of the South Carolina General Assembly. It consists of 46 senators elected from single member districts for four-year terms at the same time as United States Presidential elections. Each member represents an average of 100,551 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[10] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 87,218 residents.[11]South Carolina Constitution of 1895 provided for each county to elect one senator for a four-year term. The election of senators was staggered so that half of the state Senate was elected every two years. After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1964 for the case Reynolds v. Sims, the state Senate was reapportioned in 1966 as a temporary measure into 27 districts with 50 members for two-year terms. In 1967, the state Senate was again reapportioned, this time into 20 districts with 46 members for four-year terms. The number of districts was reduced to 16 in 1972 and in 1984, they were eliminated with the creation of single member districts.
Senators serve without term limits.

House of Representatives
The South Carolina House of Representatives is the lower house of the South Carolina General Assembly. It consists of 124 Representatives elected to two year terms at the same time US Congressional elections. Unlike many legislatures, seating on the floor is not divided by party, but is arranged by county delegation. Each member represents an average of 37,301 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[12] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 32,355 residents.[13]

The chart below shows the partisan composition of the South Carolina State House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
South Carolina State Senate: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the South Carolina State Senate for the first nine years while the Republicans were the majority for the last 13 years. South Carolina was under Republican trifectas for the final 11 years of the study.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
South Carolina State House of Representatives: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the South Carolina State House of Representatives for the first three years while the Republicans were the majority for the last 19 years. The South Carolina House of Representatives is one of nine state Houses that was Republican for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. South Carolina was under Republican trifectas for the final 11 years of the study.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.

- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2013, members of the South Carolina Legislature are paid $10,400 a year during legislative sessions. Legislators receive $131 a day for meals and housing for each statewide session day and committee meeting. Per diem is tied to the federal rate.[14]
Salary controversy
An October 2010 report by The Nerve showed that S.C. lawmakers receive, on average, about $32,000 per year in combined salary, reimbursements and expenses for serving in the Legislature and performing duties and tasks related to their legislative posts, according to an examination of legislative compensation for a recent two-and-a-half-year period.[15]
In all, S.C. taxpayers shelled out at least $14.8 million to cover salaries and expenses for 202 current or former House and Senate members from Jan. 1, 2008, through July 31, 2010, The Nerve reported.[16]
That works out to an average of more than $73,000 per legislator for the 2.5-year period.[16]
Total salary and expenses for individual lawmakers in The Nerve's analysis ranged from a high of $133,529 for the 2.5-year period for Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, to a one-year low of $14,287 for former Rep. Bessie Moody-Lawrence, D-York.[16]
Salaries for other key S.C. legislators during the 30-month period include:
- Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell, Jr., R-Charleston – $128,406;
- Sen. Thomas Alexander, R-Oconee – $109,505;
- House Speaker Pro Tempore Harry Cato, R-Greenville – $105,304; and
- Rep. Bill Sandifer, III, R-Oconee – $102,226.[16]
The Nerve reported that in terms of lawmakers' taxable legislative income, legislators most often earn at least $22,400 per year – more than two times their $10,400 salary, and in some cases much higher – when other types of compensation legislators receive are added to their base pay.[15] The Nerve obtained the financial data for the period from January 2008 through mid-2010 using the S.C. Freedom of Information Act.
The $32,000 average annual total amount of lawmakers' salary and expenses didn't include legislators' pensions and health care benefits, the investigative website added.[15]
While the S.C. General Assembly has not increased legislators' salaries in 20 years, The Nerve's investigation revealed an opaque system of legislative compensation that masks the true costs of lawmakers.
The fogginess shows up in the other types of remuneration to legislators, the website reported. In dollar amounts from most to least, the three largest supplemental payments to lawmakers are for "in-district expenses," "subsistence" and mileage.[15]
All three categories have caps, sort of:
- In-district: $1,000 per month, or $12,000 annually.
- Subsistence: $131 per legislative meeting day, whether in or out of session, for lodging and meals.
- Mileage: 50 cents per mile for senators; 44.5 cents for House members.
Lawmakers also can claim a $35 per-diem for attending a legislative-related meeting on a non-session day, and they are provided allocations for postage and flags, too.
The vast majority of South Carolina lawmakers claimed the annual maximum for in-district expenses during the 2.5-year review period. Thus, at $12,000, that alone more than doubled their annual salaries – from $10,400 to $22,400.[15]
Reinforcing the point, legislators' in-district payments are treated as income for tax and pension purposes. For lawmakers who live within 50 miles of the State House, their subsistence also is equated as income under the tax code.
The Nerve also reported that S.C. lawmakers are not required to document their actual in-district and subsistence expenses.
Mileage is the one category with a built-in accountability feature. But when it comes to in-district and subsistence expenses, legislators file vouchers – not receipts – to claim those payments, filling in the amounts as they wish, up to the caps.[15]
When sworn in
South Carolina legislators assume office the Monday after the election.
Joint legislative committees
The South Carolina Legislature has no standing committees, but it does have 19 joint special committees.

Sequestration update and Super-PAC's, how much money is enough?
Thursday - 9/20/2012, 10:48pm EDT
This week on BGOV's Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:
- The Office of Management and Budget's overdue report on budget cuts was released and lacked detail. So what was in the report and what's next? Defense Analyst Dr. Kevin Brancato joins us to explain.
- Highway spending escapes the "mindless meat axe" known as sequestration. Transportation Analyst Matthew Hummer will give us the details about a little known wrinkle that made that possible.
- In her latest study, Legislative Analyst Melissa Avstreih breaks down the world of campaign finance, specifically looking at Super-PAC's. She and Data Analyst Dr. Peter Brusoe examine how much money is being collected and spent on Obama vs. Romney 2012.

The litmus test for Congress and Rahul Gandhi:
Having won in 2009 nearly half of the 64 seats going to polls in the penultimate round tomorrow, Congress appears to face a difficult task when people in the whole of Seemandhra, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand cast their vote in the Lok Sabha elections tomorrow.
Conversely its main rival BJP, which currently has only five seats in tomorrow's round, may have everything to gain if it improves its performance in parts of heartland UP and Bihar that go to polls along with some constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir.
Of the 64 seats in seven states, including West Bengal, Congress had won 31 in 2009 while BJP had five.
In all, voters in seven states will pick their candidates in the eighth of the nine-phased elections. Already elections have been completed in 438 of the 543 constituencies. 41 seats will go to polls in the last round on May 12.
Faced with complaints of large scale rigging in some places, the Election Commission today said that it has increased videography of polling stations to ensure free and fair poll. 62.52% voter turnout recorded in Uttar Pradesh in 2009 elections.

The fate of 1,737 candidates, including Rahul Gandhi (Amethi), his cousin Varun (Sultanpur), Union minister Beni Prasad Verma (Gonda), cricketer-turned-politician Md Kaif (Phulpur-all in UP), Ram Vilas Paswan (Hajipur), Rabri Devi and Rajiv Pratap Rudy (Saran-all in Bihar) is in the hands of 18.47 crore voters who are eligible to cast their franchise.
Elections will also be held tomorrow in Mandi in Himachal Pradesh where Pratibha, wife of Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, is contesting while Anurag Thakur, sitting MP and son of former CM Prem Kumar Dhumal, is the candidate in Hamirpur.
Seemandhra, comprising the areas of Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra, accounting for 25 parliamentary seats, will vote tomorrow for both Lok Sabha and Assembly. In the last two Parliamentary elections, Congress had done exceedingly well and had contributed overwhelmingly to the making of the UPA governments at the Centre.
In 2009, the Congress had won 19 of the 25 seats in the region. It had also formed the government in Andhra Pradesh on both the occasions.
The demise of strongman YS Rajashekhar Reddy shortly after the 2009 polls and the split in the party effected by his son YS Jaganmohan Reddy coupled with politics over division of the state have combined to pose big hurdles for the party in the current elections.
Besides, Andhra Pradesh, elections will be held in seven Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar, 15 in UP, six in West Bengal, five in Uttarakhand, four in Himachal Pradesh and two in Jammu and Kashmir.

This weekend, the Archbishop Murphy team is trying to change that.
After finishing a distant second to Sehome last season the Wildcats are hoping the fifth time is the charm at the 2013 state championship, which starts today at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. The 2A swimming classification began in 2008.
"We're excited," Archbishop Murphy head coach Mike McCloskey said. "We know we're in contention. Sehome didn't win four state titles by a fluke. They have a great program, great swimmers and their depth is just unreal."
The aptly named Sehome Mariners will get another boost this year thanks to a new scoring system. Instead of scoring eight swimmers, 16 will get points, which McCloskey said definitely helps Sehome more than the Wildcats.
"On the top end -- the top three finishers -- we're better than them," McCloskey said. "But they've got more athletes in (consolation races) and pick up those points. So they'll have more swimmers at state than we will. It's our top end versus their depth."
Archbishop Murphy is working on some depth of its own. The Wildcats doubled their team from last year -- going from 12 to 24 swimmers -- while not graduating a single senior. And there are a couple of fourth-year swimmers that will be leading Archbishop Murphy in their final high school state tournament.
Alec Barnard, the Wildcats' lone individual champion last year in the 100-yard butterfly, is back along with fellow senior Hunter Cosgrove. Both swimmers were on a state championship-winning 400 freestyle relay team last year, both will swim collegiately next season and both are excited to end their high school career on top.
"I'm pretty excited," Barnard said. "I think the most exciting part is we could potentially win. Four years ago I would have never thought that even could be a possibility."
McCloskey might agree. His second year into the boys program -- now in its fifth year -- he had a star in Barnard, but not a lot of depth around him.
"Alec Barnard, when he came here freshman year, we called it Gladys Knight and no Pips. There was just nobody to back him up," McCloskey said. "Over the last couple of years we've been able to build a team around him. It's been fun to see the team mature."
The Wildcats still finished 13th in their first state tournament in 2009, and followed that up with finishes of sixth, tenth and then the second-place award last year. The improvement has Archbishop Murphy thinking upset.
"Last year was really fun," said Cosgrove, who swims in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke, as well as the freestyle relays. "We got second and we got second by a long shot. And they were solidly ahead. I think we've got what it takes, but it's going to take all that we've got."
Archbishop Murphy has been training hard for this tournament all season. They share the West Coast Aquatics pool in Mill Creek with the Jackson team. The Timberwolves practice in the afternoon, while Archbishop Murphy gets up early to use the pool from 6-7 a.m.
The early morning swimming experience might come in handy at state, where the 2A boys are the first group to swim at 10 a.m.
"Fortunately for us we're in the first session this year," McCloskey said. "We're at 10 o'clock. We're used to training at six in the morning. For us this is sleeping in."
Along with Cosgrove and Barnard, Archbishop Murphy has a couple of younger swimmers eager to make their return to the state tournament. Sophomores Stephen Boden (200 individual medley, 500 freestyle and freestyle relays) and Alec's brother Austin Barnard (500 freestyle, 200 freestyle and freestyle relays) are excited to return to the state tournament after a strong showing -- including a win in the final event of last year's tournament, the 400 freestyle relay -- as freshmen.
They think they'll be much less nervous during their second go at state.
"There was an incredible amount of nerves," Boden said. "Before prelims I honestly felt like I was going to throw up. But coming in this year, it feels a lot more relieving with a year of experience under my belt."
Austin, who enjoys swimming on relay teams with his older brother, hopes that he can send the seniors out on top.
"I think our training has really kicked up," Austin Barnard said. "This last year, after getting second, we noticed what we can do. We're thinking, 'If we work harder we could actually win this thing next year.' I think we have to have the perfect meet. But I'm pretty sure we can do that."
Said Boden: "It's going to be hard not having Alec and Hunter here. And all the seniors that aren't coming back. It's going to be a fun last hurrah this weekend with them. We're going to try to carry on what they've been doing here and keep the legacy going."
The Seattle University-bound Alec Barnard, who will swim in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly as well as the freestyle relays, knows it's going to take a lot of work to unseat the defending champs.
"We're all going to need to swim our hardest, especially in the relays," he said.
Cosgrove, who will be swimming at Pacific Lutheran University next year, has mixed feelings about the end of his Wildcats' career. He's looking forward to sleeping in, but he's going to miss his teammates.
"There is a little bit of relief. Once I'm done I am done with my high school career and I get to sleep in every day until 6:30, which will seem like a lot," said Cosgrove. "But then, it's a little bittersweet. I've been swimming with Austin, Alec and Stephen for about five years now in high school and club. It's kind of sad going our separate ways but it's been a really good run."
McCloskey believes a top-two finish is a "realistic expectation" for Archbishop Murphy. And while everybody, himself included, wants the Wildcat seniors to leave with a championship, McCloskey said success won't be entirely measured by what trophy Archbishop Murphy takes home.
It will also be measured by the stopwatch.
"The nice thing about swimming, like with track, you always have best times," McCloskey said. "If you get a best time and you get last place you did great. With our kids if they get best times they're going to be top three, maybe first place. Our goal is always to get their best times in the last meet and I think they're in position to do that."

This train of thought popped in to my head this morning on the commute to work, not really too sure why, but I found it interesting and it raises a whole bunch of questions. I hope no one finds it offensive.
If man was created in the image of God, does God have a penis? What does he use it for? Are there Goddesses? If there are Goddesses, why don't Christians worship them as well? If God does have a penis, and he uses it for the same thing men do, then that implies that God has a mother and father, where are they? If he uses it to urinate, what does he eat or drink? And on, and on, and on.
This rambled through my head all the way to work and I chuckled the whole way.

The National Museum of Civil War MedicineThe National Museum of Civil War Medicine
The National Museum of Civil War Medicine is a storehouse of exhibits and artifacts devoted to the technological and procedural advances made in the medical field between 1861-1865. The Museum is committed to effectively weaving the narrative of suffering soldiers, caregivers, their families and the dramatic and innovative developments in medical treatment. The Museum utilizes its collection to heighten public awareness of the modern medical practices that originated on the battlefields and in the hospitals of this once divided country. Interactive educational programs, exhibits, seminars and lectures provide the knowledge that Civil War medicine connects us not only to our past, but is the scientific and historical link to our present and our future.
The Museum houses a world-renowned collection of over 1,500 original artifacts relating to medical care in the American Civil War. Most of these historic objects have either been donated to the Museum or are on long-term loan from private collectors and other museums. Among the many artifacts currently on display are: surgical instruments used by Union and Confederate medical staff, various pharmaceutical bottles and containers, medical knapsacks and panniers, stretchers and litters, prosthetic devices, dental tools, a recruiting drum, Union and Confederate surgeons' frock coats, a hospital steward's uniform, a table used for amputations at a field hospital during the battle of Cedar Creek, a Union Army hospital flag that flew over the hospital at City Point, Virginia, and the only known surviving surgeon's tent from the Civil War.
Well over half of the Museum's collection is attributed to the generosity of NMCWM founder and chairman, Gordon E. Dammann, D.D.S. Dr. Dammann has collected Civil War medical artifacts for over thirty years and has amassed one of the finest collections in the world. He has authored the Pictorial Encyclopedia of Civil War Medical Instruments and Equipment, Volumes I, II, and III, and is widely recognized as an expert on medical care in the Civil War.
Throughout the exhibits are special blue panels that highlight the military career of Union Private Peleg Bradford. In his own words, Bradford tells us his thoughts on the war, the condition of his regiment and the effect his enlistment had on the family he left behind.
Throughout the year, the Museum hosts events tailored to enlightening the public on the practice and ways of yesteryear.
Upcoming events for 2006 include:
CWPT Park Day at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum
Volunteer to help clean and maintain a Civil War site, the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on Antietam Battlefield, the newest site of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine on April 1 from 10:00AM-4:00PM. Tasks will include painting, yard maintenance and cleaning the house and barn. All volunteers will receive t-shirts.
Maine Camp & Hospital Association at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum
Members of the Maine Camp & Hospital Association will give a presentation on homefront efforts to aid Civil War soldiers on May 20 from 11:00AM-3:00PM. As a relief agency during the war, the Maine Camp Hospital Association provided aid to soldiers and to their caregivers. This event will be held at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on the Antietam Battlefield.
In addition to the Frederick, Maryland location of the Museum, they opened a second site at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum, located in the Philip Pry House on the Antietam National Battlefield, in April 2005. The Museum feels that the layout of the Pry House and grounds makes it perfect for use as an interpretive center. The house is large and very well restored. The rooms on the first floor house interpretive exhibits focusing on battlefield medicine during the Civil War and the Battle of Antietam as a medical watershed. The exhibits highlight the history and use of the Pry House during the battle; the set up and running of the field hospital system; the surgeons, nurses and civilian caregivers who aided the wounded; the officers treated at the Pry House; the effect of the battle on the civilian population; and the medical innovations of Jonathan Letterman. One room is a re-creation of a Civil War field hospital scene typical of those established in local homes.
The historic barn on the property can be used for group lectures, concerts, programs and as a staging area for battlefield tours and military staff rides. The grounds will see considerable use as an outdoor activity center, youth group campsite, and summer day camp. All of these activities complement the current Museum site in Frederick without duplicating exhibits or uses.
Interpreting the medical aspects of the Civil War is a perfect fit on the battlefield. The Pry House is located at 18906 Shepherdstown Pike (MD Route 34), on the Antietam National Battlefield between Sharpsburg and Keedysville, Maryland.
The National Museum of Civil War Medicine is located at 48 East Patrick Street in Frederick. Call 301-695-1864 to sign up for any of the above functions.

The OU Blog recently caught up with the cast and director of Bard's Best!, a collaboration between Georgia Shakespeare and the OU Theatre Program that stars a versatile company of six actors performing Shakespeare's greatest hits. Favorite selections from the Bard's most beloved plays leap from the page onto the Oglethorpe stage including Hamlet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing—just to name a few! Two performances remain: Friday and Saturday, September 23 & 24 at 8:00 p.m. Free with a Petrel Pass or $7 general admission. Tickets at the door only.
OU Blog: Tell me more about the play.
Allen O'Reilly, director: Bard's Best! is a wonderful compilation of Shakespeare's best plays, scenes and monologues…It embellishes the versatility of the actors as they are all cast as more than one character.
OU Blog: What have you enjoyed most about this experience?
O'Reilly: The collaboration between the Theatre program and Georgia Shakespeare has proven to be very beneficial to both the students and the seasoned theater professionals. Many of the students cast in this play are recipients of the Georgia Shakespeare and the James E. Oglethorpe Scholarships, and this production has given them a unique opportunity to work with theatre professionals.
Sengens Amy-Cupp '14: This experience has been very hands-on. I did all the hair and make up for the show, but along with it I also learned about scenic design.
Laura Roberts '15: I learned how to operate sound and light board, which are great technical skills to have. Working with the director has also been invaluable experience. He is a professional actor and director, which made him a very good professor.
Seth Langer '13: It is exciting to think that this play may be a first exposure to Shakespeare, maybe even theatre, for some of the audience members, and I am proud to be part of their experience.
OU Blog: Was Shakespeare a challenge?
O'Reilly: Shakespeare is a difficult material and the language presents a challenge. I am very proud of the achievements of the students. They worked very hard and even spent the summer studying their lines. We gave them the scripts back in May and they came back prepared to work. I am proud to have directed this play, worked with them and to have the Georgia Shakespeare's name on this production.
Langer: Shakespeare is a lot of fun. It is a challenge but it is also very rewarding at the end. Allen O'Reilly has been amazing as a director and in helping us tackle Shakespeare. It is a challenge but it is not intimidating. I have been able to relate it what we have covered in CORE, and also understand the context of the play better because of CORE. As every OU student knows, CORE relates to everything in life.
OU Blog: Students keep saying how much they have learned from you as a director, Mr. O'Reilly. Would you say they taught you something, too?
O'Reilly: Indeed they did. They met and exceeded my expectations. I hope that my peers will come and see the play and see for themselves that students can be just as prepared as professional actors. They took directions very well and were always ready to take notes. Count on students to have pen and paper handy. This is something professional actors can learn from students.
OU Blog: Why should people come and see the play?
O'Reilly: Shakespeare is better appreciated and understood when on stage—not on paper. His work was made to be performed. This play is geared toward students, to help them understand Shakespeare and take the intimidation out of the equation. Our audience will get to experience the emotions, movement, music and passion that is Shakespeare. Every actor has their shining moment in this play, but at the end of the day it is about showing their work and what they are capable of.
Kristin Butler '14: This is my first Shakespeare experience as an actress and I now understand the difference between reading Shakespeare and seeing it come to life. There is no comparison. Continue reading

As a programmer or system administrator, you could either strive to have your fingers in every system or to isolate yourself as much as possible to become an easily-substituted cog. Advantages of the latter include being able to take vacations and not being on call, while the former means that you'd always have something to do and be very difficult to fire.
Aiming for either extreme would require a conscious effort. Except for the obvious ethical considerations, what should one strive for?
