Old (white) boys club alive and well in law, finance: U.S. study
A new report shows that elite U.S. law firms, banks and management consultancies hire based on cultural similarity even if it means passing over the best candidate.

The proverbial old boys clubs in elite professions may no longer have rules keeping women and minorities out, but an analysis of their hiring practices suggests their upper-class, male and white makeup will stubbornly remain.
According to a new U.S.-based study, bankers, lawyers and management consultants would rather hire someone who is like them than someone who is best qualified for the job — perpetuating the social and cultural makeup of these professions and reinforcing the glass ceiling that has been battled for decades.
"Of course, employers are looking for people who have the baseline of skills to effectively do the job," said study author Lauren A. Rivera, an assistant professor of management and organizations and sociology at Northwestern University. "But, beyond that, employers really want people who they will bond with, who they will feel good around, who will be their friend and maybe even their romantic partner. As a result, employers don't necessarily hire the most-skilled candidates."
Because evaluators in these fields are predominantly white, Ivy League-educated, upper-middle or upper class men, Rivera says they tend to favour candidates who have similar interests and pursuits.
Appearing in the American Sociological Review Thursday, the study titled "Hiring as Cultural Matching: The Case of Elite Professional Service Firms," claims to be the first systematic, empirical investigation of whether shared culture between employers and job candidates affects hiring.
Rivera observed hiring practices and conducted interviews with recruitment and hiring managers in elite U.S. investment banks, law firms, and management consulting firms.
There are no comparable studies in Ontario, but the Law Society of Upper Canada has a voluntary questionnaire on race filled out by slightly more than half the lawyers in the province. According to their statistics, minorities make up 17-18 per cent of lawyers, compared to 23 per cent of the total population.
But these statistics are inadequate and don't provide the impetus to improve diversity at firms, says Toronto lawyer Julian Falconer.
Falconer, who is also a bencher at the Law Society of Upper Canada says that unlike here, detailed race and cultural breakdowns for American firms are available in the States.
"That speaks volumes to the Canadian mentality," he said. "We still are very uncomfortable discussing these issues as law firms and I think we have miles to go in terms of openly talking about these issues and being openly transparent and accessible about these issues."
In her study, Rivera notes that women and minorities are being hired as long as they share the same dominant cultural traits as their employers.
This is "providing new opportunities for women and ethnic minorities who display the right stocks of cultural signals, as did many of the athletic, affluent, Ivy League-educated white and non-white women and men who were hired," wrote Rivera in the study.

That means instead of 1920 pixels across you are only going to see 800. If you can get 1080i to work compare it with the 1280x720 (720p) which you say you already got working and see which one looks better. If you can't get 1080i to work then use 720p -- its still HD.
Thanks for the quick response. I haven't tried a 1080i modeline yet for two reasons - one is that it worked fine on an ATI card by just adding "1920x1080" to the area for resolution in xorg.conf and the other is that 1080i worked for component the same way. Its just this nvidia card was being finicky. Could you recommend a safe modleline to start with that i can work from? I dont have another hard drive to install windows on and use powerstrip, and have heard some horror stories from using wrong ones to start.

My First Bed Quilt
This was my first bed quilt I ever made, a very simple nine-patch block alternating with solids. I prefer smaller projects… quicker to finish, and easier to quilt. I ended up tying this one.

Even as a section of economic analysts warn against playing forex reserves to bring about stability in local currency in view of the temporary relief from volatility in market-determined exchange trade, World Bank Chief Economist Kaushik Basu on Monday pitched for use of the foreign exchange kitty to curb volatility in the currency market.
Delivering the 16th JRD Tata Memorial Lecture here on a day the rupee continued its free fall and breached even the 63-mark against the U.S. dollar, Dr. Basu maintained that in such circumstances, it would be a good idea to utilise foreign exchange reserves instead of turning towards the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Asserting that the current situation was not the same as in 1991, Dr. Basu said: "To use certain amount of your forex to buy and sell dollar I think [is] a good idea ... [It] gives out signal that reserve has a purpose. That is broadly the direction we should go and use reserves to curb turbulence," he said. Although the rupee, which has been in a slide mode during the year, got sucked into a tailspin in recent days to tank to an all-time low of 63.13 against the greenback in its biggest single-day fall of 148 paise in a decade on Monday, Dr. Basu said the government should not "overreact" to depreciation of the currency.
On the likelihood of India approaching the IMF for funds, despite having forex reserves of about $280 billion, Dr. Basu, while interacting with reporters later, said: "I don't think we are in a situation where there is any need for that. India has enough foreign exchange reserves. So, the question of having to turn to IMF is not there".
Arguing that the country currently was nowhere near the crisis situation as in 1991, Dr. Basu said: "Are we back to 1991? That is completely a non-question because if you just look at a couple of numbers, then you say there is absolutely no comparison. Foreign exchange reserves in 1991 was down to $3 billion; India now sits on $280 billion foreign exchange reserves," he said.
On the steps taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to arrest the fall of rupee, he said: "Typically, what RBI has done is what central banks with floating exchange rates do".

Diverse funds for diverse goals
Janus research is committed to uncovering the most promising opportunities for our investors. It's how we aim to deliver strong, long-term results for you -- no matter what funds you own.
At the core of our investment process is meticulous, hands-on research. When our investment team examines potential investments for our Funds, they don't just rely on numbers in a balance sheet. They don't simply talk with a company's management team. Our portfolio managers and analysts dig deeper, looking for new growth catalysts, innovative marketing ideas and new technologies. They strive to recognize tomorrow's leaders by getting as close to a company as possible. Combining quantitative rigor with qualitative scrutiny, Janus' research team seeks out a 360-degree perspective of a company's financial strength, growth prospects and valuation. Look inside Janus.
Janus' research approach is strengthened by the expanded coverage of seven global sector teams that are facilitated by 36 equity analysts who collectively cover more than 1,400 companies. As a result, we believe Janus has more people in more places asking more questions than other investment firms.
The investment capabilities of our subsidiaries Perkins Investment Management and INTECH allow us to expand our product platform to include value funds and mathematical strategies.
Please consider the charges, risks, expenses and investment objectives carefully before investing. Please see a prospectus , or if available, a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
The proprietary mathematical process used by INTECH may not achieve the desired results. Since the portfolio is periodically re-balanced, this may result in a higher portfolio turnover rate, higher expenses and potentially higher net taxable gains or losses compared to a "buy and hold" or index fund strategy.

AUSTIN, Texas—Professor David Anderson, a specialist in mass communications law at The University of Texas School of Law, will join a discussion with leading journalists about shield laws on Tuesday, June 12, at 7 p.m. at the Dell Jewish Community Campus in Austin.
The panel, titled "Shields and Sources: Media and the Law," also includes Rich Oppel, editor of the Austin American-Statesman and Norman Pearlstine, former editor-in-chief of Time Inc. and former managing editor and executive editor of The Wall Street Journal. Evan Smith, editor of Texas Monthly, will moderate the discussion.
Shield laws are legislation designed to provide legal protections to journalists seeking to maintain the confidentiality of an unnamed source or unpublished information obtained during newsgathering.
The discussion is part of a summer speaker series hosted by The Jewish Community Association of Austin. This series of evening discussions—which is free and open to the public—will feature leaders addressing a variety of current topics such as media, politics, and the future of the city of Austin.
All events will be held at 7 p.m. on the Dell Jewish Community Campus at 7300 Hart Lane. For driving directions go to: http://www.shalomaustin.org/index.php?src=events&srctype=profile&refno=25729.
For information about other series events including "Will Wynn Presents the Austin Climate Protection Plan" on Monday, June 18, and "Peering into Austin's Future," on Wednesday, June 27, go to: http://www.shalomaustin.org/.
About David Anderson:
Professor Anderson holds the Fred & Emily Marshall Wulff Centennial Chair in Law at The University of Texas at Austin. He worked as a journalist for several years before entering law school, where he was an editor of the Texas Law Review. A specialist in torts and mass communications law, he has a particular interest in the law of libel and privacy.
He is co-author of Mass Media Law (Foundation, 7th ed., 2005) and Cases and Materials on Torts (West, 3d ed., 2004). His many articles include "Freedom of the Press" (Texas Law Review, 2002), "Is Libel Law Worth Reforming?" (University of Pennsylvania Law Review, 1991) and "The Origins of the Press Clause" (UCLA Law Review, 1983).

Hi I'm Elizabeth Greentree, but everyone calls me Buffy, so you can too.
I'm the director of The Buffy Group, a company entirely dedicated to the amazing variety of projects I like to throw myself into. Mainly writing, but also a good dose of teaching. I'm not a believer in the adage: those who can't, teach. I think only those who can do it extraordinarily well should be allowed to play with the minds of others.
It has taken me over ten years to discover that my true passion is writing. Not only writing for myself, but helping other people to write more confidently and with a greater sense of joy.
Years as an English language teacher and university tutor in amongst a decade of my own tertiary education has shown me the value of writing well. It has also shown me that the majority of people, even university educated people, do not do so.
So, what to do with a love of teaching and a love of writing? Well, I started with an insane challenge to push myself to the edge of reasonable writing. Basically, try to write 100 first drafts of novels in 5 years. It allows me to test what works and what doesn't. That did a lot to develop my writing, but what about the teaching?
Well, my Five Day Writer's series is the beginning. I'm bringing you the results of my years of learning, teaching, and experimenting. But why writing? Because I believe that anyone who wants to be successful in the Information Age needs to be able to write, and write well.
The aim of the series is to help absolutely anyone prepare for a lifestyle of writing that will lead to more prolific content production and joy in the experience.
I have also started offering ebook production and promotion services through the Five Day Writer website. Need some help getting yourself out there and heard? Well drop by www.thefivedaywriter.com and see what we can do for you.

Dodgers say goodbye to famed minor league complex
Updated: March 18, 2008, 1:31 AM ETAssociated Press
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- His eyes red, his steps slow, Tom Lasorda waved to the fans for the final time at Dodgertown. Down in the right-field corner, his players and coaches silently gathered and formed two lines.
They had their own way of helping him say goodbye to an old friend.
Crossing bats overhead in a sacred baseball tradition, they created a tunnel for Lasorda to walk through and close this special place the Los Angeles Dodgers called their spring home for 60 years.

Respond to Review of VeganBurg - Jalan Eunos
by lasm
Review: We love the Vegan Burg Home Delivery service, for meals costing $20 or more. The grass backing on the chairs are very comfortable and the place has a warm homey atmosphere! :) The fries and hotdog are delicious. And the chocolate ice cream is definitely worth a try, not too hard or soft, but just nice!

Gallery: Andrew Maynard Renovates a Modern Melbourne Home With a Giant ...
The award-winning idea has improved solar access access, and the home is flooded with light in during the winter months, helping to reduce energy costs. Facing the original house, the new structure has high windows which look out over trees, and the entire space opens out to the surrounding landscape. Constructed at different levels, the design forms an innovative structure, with a lowered dining area and higher living space creating a bench seat.
Situated in a typical, narrow plot in the Australian city's suburban area, the new design makes the most of the site's limited space. And although the original home was left the same, the new addition transforms the plot, completed with an inventive hilled backyard.

Why Plumbers and Coders Are Safe From Robots
Software engineers, doctors, airplane pilots and plumbers are sitting pretty. What about you?
Thursday, April 04, 2013
If you're looking for a secure career in the digital age, it may be time to get your plumber's license or learn to code.
MIT economist David Autor argues that technological innovation has automated a large swath of middle-skill jobs, leaving behind high-skills careers like medicine and software engineering, artisanal careers like plumbing and jobs that require manual labor.
In this week's New Tech City Quickie, where host Manoush Zomorodi talks to one smart person on one interesting topic, Autor explains what this hollowing out of the middle means for the U.S. economy, the longterm unemployed and anyone who is looking to change careers.
"There's no evidence that over the short, medium or long term that technology has led to a rise in mass unemployment, but what it has done is change the set of jobs," he says.
Autor says as painful as it is, innovation and change are necessary for economic growth.
"We no longer have large numbers of people working as blacksmiths making horseshoes or as people cleaning out stables," he says. "The people doing those jobs had real skills, and it was very disruptive when those activities essentially became less necessary."
Guests:David Autor
Hosted by:Manoush Zomorodi
Produced by:Alex Goldmark and Daniel P. Tucker
Editors:Charlie Herman
More in:
Comments [3]
Plumbers may not be in danger of being replaced by robots per se, but rapidly evolving pipe technology and the willingness of city code officials to permit substandard materials into the sphere of acceptable building practices has lead to a drastic decrease in work hours for the plumbing field over the past 30 years.

catalina 350
Now that I have logged about 100 ours sailing the Catalina 350, I can quite honestly say that this ship is far from a "marina queen". The boat is fast, responsive, and loves a stiff breeze. It does have good visability from the helm. (I usually sit on the lee side anyway with just two fingers on the helm). When at dock, she has a lot of livability and provides a nice cozy living environment.
Folks.. yes the boat shows well. She is impressive to look at at the dealership. The nicest feature of the Catalina 350 is to sail one. Just so you know.. I sold C&C, J/Boat and Cape Dory and Owned a Lapworth designed Cal.
The $124,00 price you were quoted is good. Mine came in at about $128,000 with a $112,00 base price prior to freight and so forth.

Zone 4: Fight District
Zone 4 review.
Zone 4 is a mmo fighting game with lots of features and can keep the player busy. In the begining of the game you dont get to create a character instead you choose from 3males/3females in different age groups. You get to choose what style you will be fighting a. The street class consist of, Tae kwon doe,boxing,muay that and others. The Rush class consist of, Pro wrestling, judo, hapkido. Now if you like the kicking and punching type street will be perfect for your choice. But if you like to grab your enemy and slam them face first rush is definately for you.
Next, the game is set in a fight district. You fight people for money (zen) and also you make a name for yourself. The controls for fighting are the basic asdf and qwe controls while using the arrows to move the character. The game features neat modes such as survival and team deathmatch. Also if you hate your teammates you can do 1v1 as well. Or team up with friends. The game plays in rock,paper,scissors fashion. There is a feature called survivor mode where it puts a team against team. But you arent fighting each other the game throws countless mobs at you to defeat. First one to defeat all the mobs win.
Also,Gang wars is a gvg this game has. It puts you and your guild against other guilds. It can be a 16v16 war. I can't wait to try that for myself looks fun.The only thing i dislike about the game is stealing kills. You can knock someones hp so low and they kill you off. then someone else can take the kill which is annoying.
The game is similiar to tekken as well. You can trip opponents and stuff. You job advance in the game at level 10. I wish it was 20 but 10 will do. There is also a arcade mode if you get tired of pvping as well.
Overall the game is fun and i think you will enjoy it. 8/10.
Check this game out at

I just did a full "crawl through" on my new-to-me, 1979 Venture 25.
It has lots of loose blocks of floatation foam (Styrofoam actually).
The stern area has about 10 or 12 blocks of the stuff. There are several other areas where there is under-deck stowage compartments in the cabin, and in each of there there are 2-5 blocks.
Under the bow, beneath the sleeping area, there's some but I couldn't really check the quantity or size. I'll get back out there today.
Do you want pictures? Are you still on the site? (Noted you have only posted one message back in August).

Super Moist Chocolate Cake
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
1 cup white or brown sugar
3 tablespoons sifted good quality cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
5 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Make three deep holes in the dry mixture. Into one hole, pour the oil, into the next hole, pour the vinegar, and into the final hole, pour the vanilla.
2. Pour the water into the bowl, over all. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until there aren't any more lumps and pour into an ungreased 9x9 baking pan, 2 inches deep.
3. Bake for about 30 minutes, test with a fork.
By far the most surprisingly deeelightful cake. This recipe is great for adults and for kids ages 3 and up. Enjoy this delicious cake. You will be surprised at its moistness and richness! It can be cooled and iced with your choice of icing or can be enjoyed on its own. The batter can also be used to make cupcakes!
For an instant cake, have the premeasured, premixed dry ingredients at hand, then simply add the wet ingredients when you want a fresh treat! It makes a great birthday cake! Hey, it even freezes well!
I like this recipe. I made mine vanilla, so skipped the cocoa. I used whole wheat flour, added chopped walnuts(a handful or so) and ground flax seed(maybe a few tbsp), and put cream cheese frosting on top. It did need to cook a bit longer at a slightly lower temp, I'm assuming because of the higher ratio of liquid due to the lack of cocoa. It was totally yummy and moist. I'll definitely be making it again!
I made this into cupcakes. They baked up perfectly and didn't sink in the middle. The flavor was perfect. I took them to my daughter's class picnic and everyone loved them!
I made this last night and ate some of it this morning......I'm in :)>>> This was so good and easy to make. I can stop my quest for the perfect chocolate cake recipe. Thank you for posting this recipe. :)
:)>>>YUM!!!!! Just had to give some thanks for such a easy and yummy recipe! I topped my 3rd cake with powdered sugar...(just sugar and cornstarch mixed together!) very good! I want to make other kinds of toppings...(frosting-esque...) but can't eat any type of soy....anyone have any ideas for me?
I always use this chocolate frosting and think it's great (and as far as I can see it doesn't contain soy). Hope this helps.

has anyone tried doubling the recipe & baking it in a 13X9 pan?
yes, and it turns out wonderfully! i can't remember if it baked for any longer than the stated time so just use the toothpick test. i like to add chocolate chips to the batter if i have any around the house - they make surprisingly nice little pockets of chocolate while you're eating the cake:)
I made two double cakes of this recipe for a mormon graduation party 2 years ago and everyone LOVED it!!! good luck!
Wonderful, wonderful cake! All my non-vegan family members raved over it and are asking for the recipe! You can't get better than that!
On the advice of my vegan guru, Dodo, I used this recipe to make my first vegan muffins :)
I'll be the first to admit I am not a natural in the kitchen; I was pleasantly surprised when, I not only managed to make these muffins, but that they turned out to be so yummy!!
The batter was delightful. I can only describe it as being sexy smooth!!
Quick and easy yet satisfying and tasty, I've added this recipe to my growing war chest of vegan goodies.

|Club home page
Sociedad Deportiva Ponferradina, S.A.D. is a Spanish football team based in Ponferrada, in the El Bierzo region, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Founded on 7 June 1922 it plays in Segunda División, holding home matches at Estadio El Toralín, a soccer-specific stadium with a seating capacity of 8,800 spectators.
The team's kit consists of a blue and white striped shirt, and blue shorts.
Sociedad Deportiva Ponferradina was founded in 1922. The first idea of the executive committee to arrange a stadium was to built it inside the castle of Ponferrada, which was eight centuries old. King Alfonso XIII denied the building permit, which led to the construction of Santa Marta; the opening match was played 8 September 1923, a friendly against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.
Ponferradina spent the vast majority of its professional years in the fourth and third divisions. In 1967, with the club in the former category, it achieved an historic 6–1 win against La Liga giants Real Madrid. Eight years later, due to financial difficulties, Santa Marta was sold, and the team relocated to Fuentesnuevas.
On 5 September 2000 El Toralín was inaugurated as the club's new grounds: the first game there was a friendly with Celta de Vigo. In 2006–07 Ponfe competed for the first time in the second level after knocking out Universidad de Las Palmas CF and Alicante CF in the promotion playoffs,[1] but would be immediately relegated back as third from the bottom.
In the 2009–10 season, Ponferradina returned to division two: after winning the regular season with 75 points it defeated UE Sant Andreu on penalties, in the playoffs (after winning and losing 1–0 over the two legs); subsequently, the club appeared in the league final, losing to Granada CF 0–1 on aggregate.
In 2010–11 Ponferradina played in the second division for the second time, meeting the same fate after finishing in 21st position. The following campaign the team finished second in its group and, after ousting Real Jaén, Lucena CF and CD Tenerife in the play-offs, promoted back.

(WUSA9)---You can expect that the overflow of sweets and candy to continue even with the Halloween festivities coming to an end. It will be quite difficult for candy lovers to avoid the Halloween left overs for at least the next month!
Today the noon newscast welcomed Doctor Alex Naini from Aesthetic Dental Spa to share some useful tips that will help all candy junkies avoid those dreadful cavities.
Doctor Naini insisted that it is better to not eat candy all day long, but rather just in one sitting. It also helps to drink water, floss and brush right after eating the candy as well. Lastly, she suggested eating the candy with food or chewing fat free gum for at least twenty minutes afterwards.
Doctor Alex Naini also discussed some donation ideasfor those who usually throw candy leftovers away. Most local dentists are now accepting donated candy to send care packages overseas to our troops or you can swap your sweets for books or toys! Watch the interview above.

Arizona Cardinals
2013 was a season of firsts and improvement for Arizona Cardinals' DT Dan Williams
TEMPE, Ariz. -- It took until his 54th game as a professional, but Dan Williams finally notched his first career sack.
His fourth-quarter takedown of San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick left the 49ers facing a second down and 23, and a few plays later the 49ers were forced to punt. Not long after that, the Cardinals drove down the field and tied the game.
Of course, the Cardinals ended up losing their final game of the season, and that's why Williams was unable to really enjoy his achievement.
"It would have felt great if we would have got the win," he said Monday. "At first I was like, �Finally,' because there were times I got close and the guy just threw the ball or sometimes we didn't have contain on that play."
Williams, 26, said it was nice to be able to get that first one out of the way and prove that he can do more than just be a run stuffer along the defensive line. He said he sets goals every season, and the plan is to add more to his total next season.
It's all part of the growing process for the former first round pick, who also recorded his first career interception and touchdown in 2013. Without big plays like that, though, Williams' contributions often go unnoticed by the causal observer.
For the most part, the 6-foot-3, 314-pound Williams is not asked to get after the quarterback. His role, largely, is to help take up blockers and stop the run. Given that the Cardinals ranked first in the NFL in run defense, he did a solid job there, and his efforts freed up other members of the defense to be playmakers. It's a job Williams is fine with and understands, but he always felt he could do more.
He credits defensive line coach Brenston Buckner for helping him improve as a pass rusher, and said he was always telling the coaches he could do more than just plug the middle of the line.
"This year they really gave me the opportunity to penetrate and get up field," Williams said, "so a few times between myself and Alameda (Ta'amu), we did a good job pushing the pocket and pushing the quarterback to those other guys so they could make plays."

WALLA WALLA - The halls of Lincoln Alternative School rocked all week as a group of about 70 teens attended an alternative camp at the school.
For the second consecutive year, the Walla Walla Symphony, school staff and numerous community volunteers teamed up to teach dozens of youths at a Rock and Roll Camp.
"Practice is the best teacher," said local rock legend Gary Winston, who taught guitar. "A little bit every day until it becomes a habit," he added.
For those who were more into the beat, percussionist Glen Ayers drummed in this advice: "The idea is that drums make their own melody. It becomes more than just a beat. And the idea that one part is not more important than all the parts together."
And for the center stagers behind the mic, voice instructor Erika Ingersoll had this to say: "The voice is your instrument. And it is a muscle that needs to be developed and practiced."
Sound advice was provided from about a dozen music coaches. And though the number of teens participating in the weeklong free camp was down by about 20, the decibels were up due to a new P.A. system at the school.
"We wanted the real deal," Lincoln Alternative School teacher Anthony Barba said. So when the money was budgeted for the school to buy a new P.A. system, he and other staff made sure it could handle some live fuzzy guitar, screaming vocals and pounding beats.
"We just got a super rock and roll one because we knew we would need it for rock camp," he added.
On Friday night music blasted across Crawford Park, as close to 20 Rock and Roll Camp bands took turns performing in a live concert.
"I still get nervous as I am playing. But after the playing, I go lay on the sidewalk," Kristina Savelesky, 15, said at a practice session a few hours before performing at the market. In the world of rock music, you might call Savelesky a triple threat, since she plays drums, guitar and sings.
But Rock and Roll Camp is not just about rock and roll.
Coordinators also brought in an instructor who could help teach the more traditional band camp kids like Joy Hagar, who plays trombone.
Walla Walla Symphony CEO and trombonist Michael Wenberg was the man who led a small group of teen trumpeters and saxophonists in a jazz rock fusion performance on Friday night. But his was the only trombone.
It turned out that after five years of school band trombone playing, Hagar wanted to try something she had always wanted to do - to sing for a rock and roll band.
"I like singing. I just want to sing a lot. I sing a lot at home," Hagar said.
So on Friday night Hagar sang the Beatles classic "Here Comes the Sun," minus her trombone.
And while kids like Savelesky and Hagar seemed to steal the limelight, Rock and Roll Camp also offered something to teens who didn't want to be on stage.
All week, classes were offered in various marketing and support areas, like making T-shirts, earrings, bracelets and other memorabilia, learning about sound backup, creating videos and slide shows and other support areas.
And the kids weren't the only ones having fun.
"You got to love it. I would do this for free. I get paid to do it. But I would do it for free," Ingersoll said.

WASCO -- Everything went according to plan for Liberty High's Anthony Busacca during the final two rounds of the Central Section South Area Individual Tournament.
Ditto for fellow local high school boys tennis standouts Sullivan Roche of Bakersfield Christian, Chris Robles of Garces and Sam Ramirez of East.
In fact the two-day event, which wrapped up Saturday, produced very few surprises as nearly all of the top seeds in both singles and doubles advanced through to the third-and-final round, automatically qualifying for the Central Section Individual Tournament on Friday and Saturday in Wasco.
Busacca, the tournament's No. 1 seed in singles, won both of his matches with ease, dropping a total of three games combined.
"I had a lot of fun out here," Busacca said. "I was serving and volleying a lot, coming to the net a lot. Hit a lot of first serves. Very few double faults. Just really played my best today I thought."
Busacca was one 24 singles players (along with 24 doubles teams) from Kern County slotted into the south area tournament's 32-player/team draws, with the eight seeded entries each receiving first round byes.
However, the brackets went only through the third round, stopping prior to the would-be semifinals and finals, leaving four "winners" in both singles and doubles.
That group will join the eight automatic qualifiers from the section's other two area tournaments along with a four wild cards to battle it out for Central Section supremacy.
Among the four singles and four doubles entries to advance Saturday at Wasco High, all but one was a top-four seed.
The No. 5 doubles team of Nolan Schuler and Tanner Harris (Bakersfield Christian), pulled the only third-round upset, though it be a mild one, beating the fourth-seeded duo of Thomas Newman and Christian Curatchague (Garces) 6-4, 6-4.
Roche (No. 2), Robles (No. 3) and Ramirez (No. 4) all won their third-round singles matches in straight sets.
"I'd kind of like to play the tournament all the way out but I like the idea that you can qualify," Roche said. "I'm glad I only had to come out here one day and do it. I'm happy that I could do it in a timely fashion, get off the court quickly."
The top-three seeded doubles teams also breezed through with ease.
No. 1 Andrew Engel and Drew Raney of Liberty claimed a 6-0, 6-4 third-round victory over Stockdale's Andre Paradise and Daniel Van Matre.
"We had a solid day," Engel said. "The first match we played was kind of weird because they had a different playing style but we got it done there. Then in our (second match) we came out firing, won 6-0. The second set we got a little loose but we were still able to pull it out."
Stockdale's other two doubles teams were third-round winners. John Matthew Flores and Matthew Nisson (No. 2 seeds) beat Tehachapi's Keegan Zehr and Jonathan Supple 6-0, 6-1 and Patrick Nasser and Nizam Khan beat Garces' Alec Slykerman and Zach Gomez 6-1, 6-0.
"Today was just a good day," Nisson said. "We were both playing solid and we just putting pressure on our opponents. That translated to good results."
Arguably the most exciting action during the third round was Ramirez's victory over Brian Yanez of Ridgeview.
After taking two games in a row to pull out a 6-4 first-set victory, Ramirez won the first game of the second set and appeared to be on his way to a quick win over the fifth-seeded Yanez.
But Yanez refused to go down without a fight, winning five of the next six games before finally succumbing to Ramirez 7-5.
"It's definitely hard to take," Yanez said. "...All props to him. He's a great player. He gets a lot of balls back and he's extremely athletic."
Ramirez said the warm weather gave him motivation not to let the match go to a third set.
"I knew that I probably wouldn't be able to handle playing a third set because it was so hot," Ramirez said. "So I knew I'd better finish it in the second set."

> At the heart of all things. (OOC/Recruitment)
Ok folks, as you can tell by the first post, tis set in New York in our own time.
As you will also see, elementals are a major part of this plot and as you will expect, air, fire, water and earth and the four main. There is an evil that exists, thought to have been vanquished eons ago by a powerful Wi'tch of Spirit and Stone, but this evil has persisted, gathering his strength over countless centuries, for he has needed that time to regenerate his dark power.
The Black Heart, an ancient evil of the world that has long been forgotten, as have the many races that once populated the earth, all have mingled and bred into one, such is the time that has passed since the Black Heart, whose true name will not be revealed just yet, last set foot upon the Land he once tried to corrupt.... and suprise suprise, he's at it again.
He has a few ill'guard under his dominion. The ill'gaurd are a loathsome set. Once they were elementals, that have been corrupted by the Black Heart, whose power can turn the silver flame of an elemental into fuel for dark magicks.... whatever the elemental power the human possessed is turned into a perverted form, used only to hunt and kill. There main mission is to hunt down other elementals and pervert them also, using the dark flames of the Heart to scar their souls and burn away the traces of their once human lives. Even the dead have no escape from the dire fires of the Black Heart.
Now, you do not need to be an elemental, more information will be given on the ill'guard, and on the elementals. Mages and Wi'tches no longer exist, their power fading from memory. The Black Heart seeks a way to corrupt the very Earth itself, and by doing so, the people that populate it. Many in this age do not realise the connection they have the land, elementals are more in tune with it, as it is the Land that gives them their power.
The strength of their elemental gifts vary from person to person. Vince, naturally, is very strong and talented, he doesn't like using them though and is reluctent to do so. He has as of yet to meet another elemental of any kind.
I will be posting more imformation, but feel free to post questions and queries!
Okay.... I'm game.. (as usual...;)) Okay you said Earth, Air, Fire and Water being the four main... but you've left room for one of the more common, and cousin of Air and Fire ;) Light :D (if that's alright with you...)
Name: Illysen Hikari
Age: 21
Ethnic Apperance: Asian
Hair: Black
Eyes: Light Blue
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 117lbs
Element: Light (Easily mistaken for fire, as most light gives off heat...)
Illysen is the only child of two highly prosperous people. Her father is the head of a programing corperation, filling his days with board meetings. Her mother, a highly recocgnized surgeon, barely smiles and nods at Illysen's accomplishments.
Illysen graduated as Valedictorian in high school, and went on to Bard University, in hopes of completing her bachelors in music, when she realized her hopeless situation with her parents. They only cared about their own little lives, in their own little corners of the world. So Illysen took her leave of them, took what she could of her inheritance, packed her car with everything she could, and moved to New York City.
While in Bard University, She had found her talent with light, and taught herself what she could. In hopes of finding someone else who could help her strong innate power, she searched the streets in ernest every night.
I'm liken this idea! If earth, fire, air, and water are the four main what else can we have? What about Dark? If so:
Name: Abbys Black
Age: 50
Ethnic Apperance: Abomination (was white)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Light red
Height: 8'1"
Weight: 600lbs
Element: Darkness
Abbys cant remember anything was a few years ago when he met a freak in a bar, after that everything changed. Now he is masive, strong, deformed, and puke green. His eyes burn every time he takes his shades off unless at night or in a dark room. His hair is thick and long, constently in his face. And his nose has shrivled along to with his ears. Every where he goes some one is trying to kill him, at every turn a gun or blade. To compisate for this he carries a double bladed axe hidden behind his masive black trench coat. And his nails are long, hard and sharp. So hard he can't clip them. And to top it all off that damn voice wont get out of his head, "Find them, kill them! One by one, group by group. Destroy!"
Not bad, but I would like to ask if this character is to be evil or not? Also just one other thing, in future before you jump into the actual RP wait until your character has been approved first, ok? Not meant as a slap on the wrist, just to let you know is all. This goes for any others wishing to join in, post your charcter here first and then once approved you can jump in on the fun!

Bush administration conspired with Mexico.
The Bush administration supports a weak international agreement, the International Dolphin Conservation Program (IDCP), which allows the chasing and netting of dolphins in order to catch tuna, instead of implementing measures that truly protect dolphins. The IDCP is administered by the Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission, made up of representatives of tuna fishing nations and their tuna industry officials.
IMMP sued in federal court (Earth Island Institute v. Secretary of Commerce Evans), and won a preliminary injunction that is still in place. IMMP's lawsuit contends that the Bush administration weakened the meaning of the Dolphin Safe tuna label on the basis of trade politics rather than science.
Further, IMMP took steps to obtain secret memos and other documents in the Commerce Secretary's decision record. These memos prove the US government privately conceded that dolphin populations were not recovering from depleted status, likely due to the tuna fishery. The documents also show that Mexico and other tuna fishing nations put intense political pressure on the Commerce Department to ignore its own scientific conclusions.
Over 300 documents were withheld from the court record. Federal Judge Thelton Henderson of San Francisco ruled October 10 that the public interest in the case warranted releasing some of the withheld documents.
"Congress would not allow weakening the Dolphin Safe tuna label unless the science showed no impact on dolphins," declared David Phillips, executive director of EII. "The Bush administration has blatantly and illegally ignored its own scientists, caving in to the demand of Mexico that tuna be falsely labeled "Dolphin Safe," despite killing tens of thousands of dolphins annually."
The IMMP lawsuit and request for summary judgment will be heard before Judge Thelton Henderson on April 26, 2004. Plaintiffs in this case include IMMP/Earth Island Institute, Samuel LaBudde, Humane Society of the United States, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Defenders of Wildlife, International Wildlife Coalition, Animal Welfare Institute, Society for Animal Protective Legislation, Animal Fund, and Oceanic Society.
Memos obtained by IMMP include these statements that contradict the Secretary's finding on December 31, 2002, of "no significant adverse impacts" of the tuna fishery on dolphins, and show the Bush administration's intent to strike down dolphin protections:
The Government of the United States strongly regrets that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court ruling striking down the Secretary of Commerce's finding concerning the effects of purse seine fishing on depleted dolphin populations ... The United States can understand the strong disappointment of the government of Mexico and the Mexican industry ... We are committed to implementing the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program (AIDCP), consistent with US law and the intention of the parties to the AIDCP to open markets to tuna caught in accordance with the agreement ... The United States believes that it has fulfilled its commitments under the AIDCP and the Declaration of Panama; however, because of the court decision the definition of 'dolphin-safe' cannot be changed at this moment.
--Secretary of State Colin Powell to US Ambassador to Mexico Jeffrey Davidow, in a cable asking Davidow to convey the message to the Government of Mexico, August 15, 2001.
A determination of 'no significant adverse impact' is not supported by the science.
--Dept. of Commerce, General Talking Points, Outline with Talking Points for Tuna/Dolphin Briefing, December 11, 2002.
We've all seen the science. We know that dolphins aren't recovering Now, let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
--Talking Points: Briefing for the Secretary (of Commerce) on the Dolphin Safe Label Final Finding, December 16, 2002.

I really like the little girl. Her painted nails held up to her face like that just add so much. Good job.
December 19th, 2004 #5
Thanks Emily. That girl is from a district in Tokyo called Harajuku. It's an area where on the weekends, all these girls come there and dress up in costumes. They sort of just hang out and it's a popular place for tourist to go and take pictures. I can't take credit for the pose, that was her own when I ask if I could take her picture
Added a few more pics...

Love the first one. Technolandscape black&white architecture shot.
In fact most of your b&w-ish photo's make a lot of sense. You seem to tone a lot of pictures differently, turns out quite well. Good stuff!

I love 3 and 7. The Harajuka girl is very nicely shot. Did you check out Shibuya at all? I've heard the colors of the costumes there are even more impressive.
I also like your last image very much. You are putting that 10D to good use!

Wow, these are pretty good! Im impressed by the composition, breath taking landscapes, and the colors are amazing! I love photography like this. My favs would have to be the girl in the 3rd photo, as well as the 4th and the very last one. Seen professional documentary photography on that level. The others are good, but those I think are your strongest ones there. Great job again!
Hope to see some more pictures of Japan! I would love to go and do something like that myself someday.

Hey, I just wanted to say that these are great photos.
They remind me of my trip to Spain...why?
Well on my flight to Spain we had a stop-over in Japan for one night. We landed at Tokyo/Narita airport and stayed at one of the airline hotels in Narita.
The guy at the hotel told us to go and see the 24 hour temple in Narita...so we ended up wandering around for ages, not knowing where we were going.
Eventually I asked this guy in a sushi place and he showed me on the map where to go.
We went down this little street down a hill and all the buildings seemed to be getting older looking. Suddenly we approached a gate, stepped up to it and BAM there was this MASSIVE Japanese temple! It was all dark and foreboding and deserted- the area was totally silent.
There was a long walkway up toward the temple that was flanked by stalls that during the day would surely have been food stalls and stuff like that...
Anyway, we walked up the long walkway, up the big flight of stairs, under a HUGE lantern that I had to duck to get under...up over a bridge through a garden of willow trees and big headstone kinda things...up more stairs to a huge open plaza type area.
Just as I got to the actual main temple building (up more stairs) and walked inside I heard my friends calling from outside. In the 30 seconds I was inside it had suddenly started *pouring* rain.
Well, we had to run all the way back to the bus stop...we ran out of that temple and up through the streets of Narita in the pouring rain....it was so great!
When we got to the bus stop, none of the other people who were going back to the hotel had gotten wet or even known it had rained...
And that's my experience in Japan- your temple roof photos reminded of it

For some reason that last picture nearly moved me to tears. Photography never has that effect on me. No matter what I see through it. I can only imagine what it would have been like had I been there at that instant. My wife and I both want nothing more than to take about a month long visit to Japan one day. One of these days....

Oh yeah, and Pics 1 and 3 I especially like. I don't understand anything about photography beause I'm so bad at it, but I know when something looks cool and makes me think about it differently than it would if I'd seen it in real life...

As mystery over missing MH370 deepens, more theories surface
Published on Mar 18, 2014 3:33 PM
From mid-air stalking to cyber-hijacking, more theories have surfaced as the mystery over the missing Malaysia Airlines plane deepens, and efforts to track down the plane make little headway. We round up some of the popular but unverified theories:
1. Mid-air "stalking"
Some aviation enthusiasts and unnamed pilots have raised the possibility that the Malaysia Airlines plane could have shadowed another plane to escape detection by ground radar.
The Malaysian Insider, which quoted an unnamed pilot, reported on Tuesday that whoever was in control of the missing Boeing 777-200ER would just have to switch off all the plane's lights and follow the night to avoid visual contact. "Once the transponders are off and the lights are dimmed, flight MH370 becomes a ghost flight in the night sky. It can follow other planes closely or fly below them without anyone knowing," said the pilot. "It will know where the other planes are from the radio chatter."
MH370, with its transponder switched off, would be invisible to the aircraft being "stalked" because the latter's Traffic Collision Avoidance System raises alert based on transponder data.
This possibility was also reported on The Aviationist website, which quoted Mr Ed Pernotto, a retired US Air Force Reserve Colonel who has flown with armed forces of Malaysia and Thailand.
"When you fly over water or from point to point, pilots are frequently directed to change frequencies, told to turn, climb, descend, you name it. This is all 'in the clear' and not privileged communications, anyone with the right radio on the right frequency would hear it," said Mr Pernotto. Whoever was in command of MH370 "could simply have slipped in behind a northbound airliner and flown slightly higher and behind by a mile or two matching the speed and not exceeding the airliner in front of them", he added.
To a ground radar controller, the planes would appear as one or two "blips" depending on how close they were. "When they get close to the field, the slip-off unnoticed in the middle of China, pull the throttles back, and make a very quiet approach and landing at their destination," he said.
But those who came up with this theory acknowledged that it would be difficult for MH370 to trail another aircraft at night, without radar help.
2. Fly "nap of the earth"
MH370 could have dropped to an altitude of 5,000 ft, or possibly lower, to avoid commercial radar coverage after it turned back from its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing route on March 8, reported Malaysia's New Straits Times, quoting officials involved in the probe.
Slate magazine also suggested that one possibility might be to fly "nap of the earth", close enough to the surface of the earth to elude the sweeps of a radar beam. "Nap" stands for "near as possible". This could explain why the aircraft was able to penetrate the military radar coverage of multiple nations, according to Slate, which suggested that the aircraft has most likely ended up in western China or an adjacent Turkic area.
But flying at such low altitude would require a much higher fuel burn and result in a lower speed, some noted.
3. Terrain masking
Whoever was piloting the plane could have also used a technique known as "terrain masking" to avoid detection, officials investigating the mysterious disappearance of MH370 told Malaysia's New Straits Times.
Officials told the newspaper that "it's possible that the aircraft had hugged the terrain in some areas that are mountainous to avoid radar detection". This technique, called terrain masking, is used by military pilots to fly to their targets stealthily, using the topography to mask their approach from prying microwaves.
Professor Jason Middleton, head of the aviation department at New South Wales University, told British newspaper Guardian that avoiding radar was a well-known technique. "Radar goes in a straight line. If you are in the shadow of a mountain or even the curve of the Earth – if you are under the radar beam – you can't be seen," he said. "The further (radar beams) go out the weaker they are and the further they need to come back. Radars have dead zones which are low and also which are far away."
But flying a large aircraft this way is dangerous because it puts tremendous stress on the airframe, said other experts. Airsickness could also easily set in.
4. Cyber-hijacking
British anti-terrorist expert Sally Leivesley put forth a bold theory - that the plane could have fallen victim to the world's first ''cyber-hijack''.
The former Home Office scientific adviser said a plane could be taken over using a mobile phone or USB stick. Hackers could change the plane's speed, altitude and direction by sending radio signals to its flight management system, she told the Sunday Express in London. It could then be landed or made to crash by remote control. It was possible, said Dr Leivesley, for hackers to get into the main computer network of the plane through the inflight, onboard entertainment system. The hacking threat was raised at a science conference in China last year, she added.
But other experts said there was no way one could hijack a plane with a mobile phone.
