There was a particular episode from this trip that I will never forget. Sensei was teaching a class at Aikido of San Francisco and was demonstrating a kokyunage technique, if I remember correctly. His uke was David Alexander. Sensei threw David horizontally but misjudged the amount of space he had free. Right in the middle of the throw when it had become apparent that David would crash into the people who had crowded in close to better observe, Sensei stuck out his left arm and caught David in mid-air thus preventing a collision… Click here to read more

'Climate of the Nation' event at Ogilvy House
August 30, 2013 by KatrinaOKane
Filed under Blog
Remember climate change? While the issue might have dropped to the farthest reaches of the political radar, the fact remains that climate change remains and at some stage Australia will have to deal with it.
So this week we rekindled the debate with a 'Climate of the Nation' event at Ogilvy House.
With John Connor, the CEO of The Climate Institute, presiding over a panel featuring renowned climate change scientist Dr Graeme Pearman, John Scales, the founder and MD of JWs Research, and Essential Media director Peter Lewis, an 80-strong crowd was informed about the seemingly endless saga of public and political engagement and disengagement in one of mankind's great challenges.
Lewis said that public support for action on climate change reached its zenith in 2007, when there was bipartisan backing for a price on carbon action, but since that point 'the number of don't knows' in his research climbed from the 10s to the 20s and then to the 30s.
He sheeted the blame for the drop-off in support to the paucity of the government's explanation of the case for climate change action. Scales agreed, citing the fact the government changed its position on a number of occasions.
Pearman, the Australian Academy of Science fellow, said that 'science tells us more strongly than ever before' that there was a risk which needed to be managed. In contrast, public belief in man-made climate change had dropped to just 51 per cent, with 35 per cent putting the changing climate down to the natural weather cycle.
He said he believed people had rejected the science 'because they don't want their world view to be challenged'.
When asked by Connor whether the coming Federal Election could be accurately depicted as 'a referendum on the carbon tax', all panellists disagreed, with Lewis saying research showed it was a referendum on the economy and on the Labor government.
You can check the pollute-o-meter below to see how our political parties rank.
Lewis also said polling showed that one of the legacies of the past few years had been a marked drop in support for all civic institutions.
Scales believed that in the aftermath of the coming election climate-concerned organisations like The Climate Institute needed to stop and rethink the way they tried to deliver the message about the urgent need for action. 'We need a new look, a new way,' he said, citing problems with inconsistent and fragmented messaging from climate change groups in the past.
Pearman questioned the basis of the much-publicised target of a maximum of 2 degrees warming, saying that would cause severe water shortages and problems with the coastal plains, while the effect of such an increase on other areas of the natural environment were limited.
For Lewis, public demand for action would only be forced by catastrophic climate events over the next decades, while Connor said he believed the push to renewable energy would be led from outside Australia, through countries no longer wanting buy Australian coal.
Yianni Konstantopoulos, the group managing director of Social@Ogilvy, spoke about the potential benefits and possible pitfalls of social media campaigns on such issues.
Climate change, he said, had become a polarising issue. Social media could help to garner support for action but organisations needed to establish just who their supporters were and just what the organisation wanted them to do before enlisting them.
Connors spoke of the Vital Few campaign which The Climate Institute was currently running. With superannuation being such a source of investment wealth, he said there was a fiduciary duty between superannuation trustees and their members which meant that the trustee had to respond to members' requests for information.
The focus of the campaign was for members to contact their trustee and request information on the fund's exposure to investments like coal, which, he said, could carry substantial investment risk because of an expected drop-off in demand through international action to combat climate change. Through that, the Institute hope to pressure superannuation funds to no longer invest in such companies.

Mixed-up confusion and climate change policy
July 25, 2012 by KatrinaOKane
Filed under Blog
In 1962, mixed-up confusion was killing Bob Dylan. His head was full of questions, and his temperature rising fast. Forty years later, amid other rising temperatures, mixed-up confusion is confounding Australia's efforts to respond to climate change.
One the one hand, the case for action seems straightforward. The debate over whether or not anthropogenic climate change is real is over, at least in the scientific community. Treasury modeling of
the potential impacts of climate change makes it clear that taking action on climate change is in Australia's national interest. Much of corporate Australia agrees with this. And all major political parties advocate taking action on climate change.
So why, according to figures just released in the Climate Institute's annual survey of Australian attitudes towards climate change, Climate of the Nation, do 65 per cent of Australians believe that there are too many conflicting opinions for the public to be sure about the claims made about climate change? Where does all this confusion come from?
It certainly does not come from a lack of information. If Bob Dylan had a cent for every media mention of climate change, he would probably never have got the tombstone blues, the freight train blues or even the subterranean homesick blues. Australians have had climate change shoved down their throat. Thousands of views have been canvassed, thousands of views have been offered.
Amongst this discordant cacophony, no one has been able to make their message resonate – not the government, not the opposition, not scientists, not climate science 'deniers', not NGOs, not community activists, not the private sector.
This has confused the population, and clouded their response to carbon pricing. Only 28 per cent of respondents in the Climate Institute poll (carried out by John Scales for JWS) said they supported the government's scheme. However, when basic aspects of the legislation are explained, the number jumps to almost 50 per cent. This is not to make a comment on the merits or otherwise of the government's particular scheme – it rather illustrates the point that people don't support things they don't understand. And they don't understand carbon pricing.
This is fair enough. As public policy goes, it is complex and nuanced. Even the policy wonks struggle to get their heads round it at times. Several popular criticisms of action on climate change stem directly from misunderstandings about how the government's scheme might work (these criticisms may also be leveled at other schemes). Here are three key sources of confusion:
- It won't make a difference because Australia is only a small part of global emissions
- It won't make a difference because industry will move overseas and pollute from there
- It won't make a difference because we are going to compensate the polluters – so there is no reason for them to act.
There are very good answers to all three points. But this is entering a level of detail beyond the point at which the public would normally engage in public policy. Debunking incorrect information is necessary. But arguing the toss on the details of particular arguments is pointless – people end up confused and disengaged. Instead, advocates of climate change action would do well to focus on some key communication approaches:
- Appeal to the emotional: Use language and imagery that appeals to people's emotional rather than intellectual side. This is something marketers have honed for decades.
- Use third-party advocates: There is no academy of science in the world that disputes the science. Other voices lend credibility to your arguments.
- Point to peers: Highlight what others, faced with the same problem, have done. The vast majority of countries have some form of measure in place to combat climate change.
Talk about the alternative: Instead of allowing the debate to focus on the intricacies of different schemes, focus on the costs of inaction.
Make it local: Talk about the impact of climate change on insurance bills and front lawns.
A recent poll by Fergus Hanson for the Lowy Institute showed that 38 per cent of Australians felt they had become 'more concerned' about climate change since the debate in Australia began. If this concern is to be harnessed into support for action, we need to do a much better job of telling the story, and a much better job of debunking the myths. "Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean," Bob Dylan once remarked, "sometimes you have to know what things don't mean".

Padres blasted out of Coors Field
Then again, Jason Marquis was the only Padres starter to make it through six innings in their opening turns. Even two of the starters who pitched very well and fairly well – Eric Stults and newcomer Tyson Ross, respectively – were forced out of games prematurely by high pitch counts inflated by foul balls.
"There's no doubt that when the five guys take their turns, we need them to prolong innings," said manager Bud Black. "There are going to be roughly 1,500 innings pitched. You'd like to get your starters as close to 1,000 innings as possible. Through our first games, our starters have not been (pitching long) into their games."
The Rockies were rocking Volquez from the start. Eric Young Jr. son of the infielder who played for both the Rockies and Padres, scorched a leadoff double in the first over the head of Mark Kotsay in right field.
Volquez' fate was such that, in sort of squaring around to bunt, No. 2 hitter Dexter Fowler would've been doing the Padres a favor by successfully dropping one down. Instead, Volquez' pitch skipped off Fowler's left foot, which was out of the batter's box and prompted a wild-pitch call.
Whereupon Fowler stepped back into the box and immediately launched his fourth home run of the season. That brought the Rockies' total for five games and less than one inning to an even dozen, or 11 more than the Padres, and that was before Rosario's shot.
"They're on fire," said Black. "Teams get hot. Teams get cold. This is a team that's hot. They did it at Milwaukee. They did it here...That's what happens when you get six, seven, eight guys hitting."
Up next, Carlos Gonzalez doubled hard into the gap in left-center, then scored from second on another two-base shot by Reid Brignac.
Having notched two and three runs in the first two games, the Padres cut the deficit to 3-1 with a two-out rally in the fourth. Jedd Gyorko flipped a single into center – the Padres rookie has recorded at least one hit in five of his first six major league starts -- and came around on Chris Denorfia's double off Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin.
Colorado got the run back in the sixth, however, and went to work on a Padres bullpen that's also been hit hard all week.

Sticky Fig Rolls with Dates & Currants
October 5th 2011By Jaclynn Lewis
A lovely addition to your Break Fast menu, this super simple recipe is built on a buttery, biscuit-like base and showcases a medley of Fall fruit favorites and a touch of brown sugar and spice, all "rolled" up in a delicious sticky-sweet package. A distant cousin of the cinnamon roll, the Sticky Fig Roll offers a beautiful fragrant sweetness, as opposed to sugary sweetness.
Ginger, Fig and Cranberry Semifreddo
July 13th 2011By Joy of Kosher
Semifreddo, which translates to "half frozen" in Italian, is very easy to make and keep. This is one Chef John Ash, the creator of this recipe, likes to make in the winter. For the puree, use frozen berries. Simply thaw and puree them, strain, and flavor to taste with drops of lemon juice and honey.
Fresh Fig, Carrot, Fennel and Kale Salad
October 8th 2014By Chef Tami Weiser
An all purpose fall and winter dish is always welcome in my home kitchen. This salad makes use of so many of the treasures of the fall and it's great for the High Holidays, Sukkot and even Chanukah. If you are serving vegans, substitute 2 teaspoons grade B maple syrup for the honey- it tastes different, but it's equally delicious and will pair with wonderfully with turkey.
Fig and Blue Cheese Salad with Balsamic Reduction
June 26th 2011By Jamie Geller
Take advantage of one of the seasons sweetest treats – figs! They are delicious cooked or raw and this salad combines them with the saltiness of blue cheese and sweetness of reduced balsamic vinegar in a simple yet beautiful starter.
Broccoli Rabe Bounty
August 16th 2010By Bonnie Taub Dix
The bitterness of the broccoli rabe is subdued with the sweetness from the figs. This recipe for broccoli rabe will turn anyone into a fan.
Broccoli Rabe and Fig Pasta
June 23rd 2011By Chef Laura Frankel
This Roman dish with bitter broccoli rabe lightly sweetened with figs and an added kick of chili flakes is addicting. We eat this often as it is very quick and easy to put together and is very satisfying.

SEATTLE (AP) — Felix Hernandez pitched the Seattle Mariners' first perfect game and the 23rd in baseball history, overpowering the Tampa Bay Rays in a brilliant 1-0 victory Wednesday.
The Mariners' ace and former AL Cy Young Award winner has long talked of his desire to achieve pitching perfection. He finally accomplished it against the Rays, striking out the side twice and finishing with 12 strikeouts.
It was the third perfect game in baseball this season, joining gems by Chicago's Philip Humber against the Mariners in April and San Francisco's Matt Cain against Houston in June.

Website of the day: Story of the Web #25
Twenty five years ago today would've been the first Friday after the worldwide web was invented. (OK, so it probably wasn't but we can't be bothered to check and it would kind of ruin the rest of this piece if we did…).
And we reckon that's when it would've happened. That's when the first person thought "hey, it's Friday – let's have some fun…"
We reckon that's when the first meme was invented. And yes, we reckon it was probably a picture of a cat, too. But how to find out? Where could we check our (admittedly very dubious) supposition?
This was where we came to check: storyoftheweb.org.uk. It's a brilliant interactive timeline of the development of the worldwide web, from Sir Tim's first keystrokes to what we see today, and all the incredible leaps in online innovation between. It's a great resource and one that anybody with an interest in modern history should take a look at, this week of all weeks.
No sign of that first cat GIF though.

Los Angeles real estate firm Lowe Enterprises Investment Management . on Friday announced an agreement to sell the 115-year-old hotel -- immortalized in the 1959 Billy Wilder comedy "Some Like It Hot" -- to CNL Hospitality Properties Inc. of Orlando and La Quinta-based KSL Recreation Corp.
The $385-million price reported by trade publication Commercial Mortgage Alert "looks like a very good buy" for CNL and KSL, said industry consultant Alan Reay of Atlas Hospitality. The landmark structure on Coronado Island, one of the few surviving hotels of the Victorian era, is "truly irreplaceable real estate," he said.
The hotel has 688 rooms and received city approval last year for an expansion that could include 205 rooms and a conference center.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) September 28, 2012
WeRx.org is a unique online tool created by a team of compassionate doctors who believe that all patients deserve the right to make informed decisions about their own healthcare. The innovative new website and mobile application provides users with a platform to share and compare the most up-to-date information regarding prescription drug costs within their local pharmacies.
"An alarming number of Americans do not take their medication as prescribed because they cannot afford it," says WeRx.org founder, Ali Khoshnevis. "Cost discrepancies and a lack of public information should not be the compromising factor in an individual's right to enjoy good health."
High costs within a less than transparent pharmaceutical market, combined with a person's failure to take medication as prescribed, costs our nation 100 billion dollars per year. The WeRx.org initiative is more than just a tool that helps people save money. It's a social movement designed to promote awareness, build community, and strengthen patient advocacy, while exposing the major discrepancies in prescription drug costs today.
Charlotte based Optometrist and WeRx.org co-founder, Amir Khoshnevis says, "As doctors, we are dedicated to offering our patients the highest level of care possible, and that means arming them with knowledge and information that transcends far beyond the office walls."

Participants in my management training programs often ask me how they can motivate their employees. Usually I throw the question back to the group and they generate motivational ideas, tips and techniques. Some are great, creative ideas on rewards and recognition — both important parts of keeping your workforce engaged and committed to excellence.
But then I drop the bomb: The "dirty little secret" about motivating others is that you can't.
Everyone is self-motivated. If not, no one else can get us to do or stop doing. The only thing a manager can do is increase or decrease an employee's motivation.
So should we just give up and say "Whatever?" Of course not — here are a few ways you can increase employee motivation and encourage high performance:
1. Ask what motivates them
The same motivators won't work for everyone. One employee may want more money, another recognition, while another would love two hours off to attend a child's soccer match. So how do you know what to put up as a prize? Ask. But be truthful: Preface your questions with, "I may not be able to give you exactly what you want, but I won't know unless I ask."
2. Work with employee strengths
How long have you spent trying to correct or overcome an employee's weaknesses? In today's teamwork culture, that's often counterproductive. I'm never going to enjoy — or excel at — creating spreadsheets, no matter how much training you put me through. Eventually I'll become resentful and uninspired. There must be someone else on the team who not only is good at constructing spreadsheets, but takes pride in doing so, too. Let that employee handles Excel workbooks and use my strengths to fill another void.

Which salmon?
So versatile – the possibilities for cooking it are endless. For a more environmentally friendly and often leaner fish, choose salmon farmed in open sea conditions (or even better, wild).
Know how - quick sauce
Folding lemon juice, capers and chopped parsley through crème fraîche makes a quick sauce for salmon, trout and white fish.
- Heat the oil in a pan, season the salmon on both sides, then fry for 4 mins each side until golden and the flesh flakes easily. Leave to rest on a plate while you cook the spinach.
- Tip the leaves into the hot pan, season well, then cover and leave to wilt for 1 min, stirring once or twice. Spoon the spinach onto plates, then top with the salmon. Gently heat the crème fraîche in the pan with a squeeze of the lemon juice, the capers and parsley, then season to taste. Be careful not to let it boil. Spoon the sauce over the fish, then serve with lemon wedges.

SF5.1 VxDMP caches LUN size?
I recently recrated a LUN with a different size but the same LUN ID (Linux SLES11) and when trying to initialize it as a new disk to VxVM I keeps sticking to the old size, whatever I do (I tried to destroy and reinitialize in different formats and grow many times):
# vxdisk list isar2_sas_1
Device: isar2_sas_1
public: slice=5 offset=65792 len=167700688 disk_offset=315
Multipathing information:
numpaths: 8
sdu state=disabled
sdt state=enabled
sds state=disabled
sdam state=disabled
sdan state=enabled
sdb state=enabled
sda state=disabled
sdv state=enabled
... but the main reasons seems to be DMP is somehow sticking to the old size:
# fdisk -l /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1
Disk /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1: 85.9 GB, 85899345920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10443 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x55074b8b
pepper:/etc/vx # fdisk -l /dev/sdt
Disk /dev/sdt: 128.8 GB, 128849018880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15665 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x55074b8b
Any hints are greatly appreciated :)

Can u clarify a bit more .... If I understand correctly, you had a lun size of xGB before, the same Lun has been resized to a bigger size ... lets say yGB & you are not able to see the new size correct ?
If this is correct, you should go with "vxdisk resize" option for veritas to understand the new lun size, this is called Dynamic Lun Expansion...
Check for Veritas Volume manager admin guide for details ..
What is the vxvm version you are using ?

Hi Gaurav,
thanks for your fast comment! Ok, to be more presize:
1. I had an unused LUN #12 which was too small. The crappy flaky storage (Promise VTrak 610fD) does not support DLE, so I deleted the LUN, created a bigger one and mapped it out via the same LUN ID.
2. VxVM is SF 5.1 SP1 RP2 P2 (should be the most recent one for SLES11 in that series since I just patched that up)
3. Of course I tried that DLE stuff -- nothing happend because VxVM doesn't recognize the LUN is bigger
Currently I assume maybe it helps removing all references to this disk (DMP Nodes, info files) and do a 'vxdctl initdmp') but since this is a preproduction server I am a little bit anxious about destroying stuff that currently perfectly works.
Maybe I just change the LUN ID and disk name ....
Can you see real capacity using sg_readcap?
# sg_readcap /dev/sdX
You can try deleting SCSI device on Linux and rescanning.
Check for SCSI host adapter number:
# lsscsi ... [0:1:2:0] disk LSILOGIC Logical Volume 3000 /dev/sda
Here the first number before colon is host adapter.
Now delete SCSI device for your disk(s) for this LUN
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/delete
Verify that disk is no more visible in lsscsi output and rescan
# echo '- - -' > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
Were hostN - is the number form the first step.
Notice that sdX names will change after that. So you will need to rescan in VxVM as well. It makes sense to try to remove disk from VxVM control first.
unfortunately yes, as you can see above in the fdisk output, so from the OS side everything is fine:
# sg_readcap /dev/sdt
Read Capacity results:
Last logical block address=251658239 (0xeffffff), Number of blocks=251658240
Logical block length=512 bytes
Device size: 128849018880 bytes, 122880.0 MiB, 128.85 GB
Just while searching other stuff I stumbled upon a solution. It seems like the bug described in TechNote 128862 is not solved in SF5.1 since I tried vxdisk rm many times:
But the solution described there worked like a charm (albeit I am happy to only have 8 paths :):
# vxdisk list isar2_sas_1 | grep state | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs -t -izzz vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=zzz
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sdt
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sds
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sdam
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sdan
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sdb
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sda
vxdmpadm exclude vxvm path=sdv
# vxdctl enable
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sdt
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sds
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sdam
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sdan
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sdb
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sda
# vxdmpadm include vxvm path=sdv
# vxdctl enable
# fdisk -l /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1
Disk /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1: 128.8 GB, 128849018880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15665 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Yuhu! And thanks for all the hints.

Advance Care Plan
This is a voluntary on-going process of discussion and review to help an individual who has capacity to anticipate how their condition may affect them in the future.
This is something which takes place between a patient and their care provider, and may or may not also include family or friends. If they wish, it allows for them to set on record decisions, choices or preferences about their care and treatment so that these can then be referred to by those responsible for their care or treatment (whether professional staff or family carers) in the event that they lose capacity to decide once their illness progresses. Advance Care Planning, or ACP, will usually take place in the context of an anticipated deterioration in the individual's condition in the future and allows patients and those close to them to express wishes as to:
- What care they would like to have
- Any aspects of care they wish not to have
- Where they would prefer to have their care; ie hospital, community or home
- Wishes about care in the last months to weeks of life

When I'm teaching a workshop, providing a consultation or otherwise involved in discussion about teaching with technology, I often come back to a comment my former colleague Chris Greenhow made during one of our many conversations in the office. When observing students working together or engaged in discussion, teachers will often say, "they're so excited." But as Chris pointed out, excitement is not enough. How do we know students are actually learning? An article I re-read recently, "Critical Thinking, Cognitive Presence and Computer Conferencing in Distance Education," raises related issues, provides a few answers and raises yet more questions.
In terms of the communities of inquiry model, in which the article is grounded, for me Chris' comment was a "triggering event," or a starting point for practical inquiry where "an issue, dilemma or problem that emerges from experience is identified or recognized." Or rather, when I hear someone say "they're so excited" in conversations about teaching, that phrase is a triggering event that causes me to reflect on what happened in a different way. Students' excitement (or engagement or enthusiasm) might be more of a milestone than an end, or perhaps a beginning of rather than a sign of success. A lively discussion is energizing, but what happens after that? How do we know what insights, if any, students have gained from that discussion, especially when everything is moving so fast? Do students engaged in a lively discussion now know how to use those insights as they move towards higher order learning outcomes? And what about the quiet student who does not appear to be engaged? Is that student reflecting on what is said, or is that student tuned out? Is that student shy, or perhaps not as quick, or perhaps not confident about their language skills, and therefore more hesitant to jump in? While online, asynchronous discussions may not be as exciting as a face-to-face discussion, they do present many advantages. More reflective students, or students who for different reasons may not feel confident enough to speak up in class have more opportunities to participate. All students, as well as the instructor, can take the time to compose more thoughtful responses and feedback. And as everyone involved in discussion develops their ideas, they can refer back to what has been written online.
As Garrison, et. al. explain, the "triggering event," is only the first of four phases of inquiry, followed by exploration, integration and resolution. Once the issue to explore or problem to be solved has been identified and defined, students and teachers together brainstorm ideas, share information, and ask questions. Integration involves testing the applicability of ideas, identifying misconceptions, revising ideas. In the final, resolution phase, those involved implement solutions to problems or perhaps test a hypothesis. In their research on online classroom discussions, Garrison, et. al. found that students were most active in the exploration phase, and hardly active at all during the resolution phase. I wonder if they would have produced the same results in an investigation of face-to-face discussion, and if the excitement of discussion happens mainly during the exploration phase. After all, it's much easier--and much more fun--to brainstorm, and to bounce ideas off of each other. Evaluating and critically examining those ideas and formulating some kind of solution to a common problem is much more difficult, and much more work. What can teachers do to make sure students are successful throughout the full process of inquiry, and how do they know their students have succeeded?
Moreover, how might technology be integrated into successful practical inquiry during a course? What kinds of tools, what kinds of learning activities and what strategies might be most useful to students as they further develop, test and apply their ideas?

Undergraduate Students
Students transferring to other schools/colleges within the University (intra-University transfer) must meet the admission requirements of the new school/college that were in effect at the time of matriculation into the University. Submit internal transfer requests well before the start of the next semester to allow adequate review/processing time. Check with the appropriate school/college undergraduate office, as intra-University transfer deadline dates vary. Until your IUT is approved, you may not be able to register for courses in the new program. See TABLE K for school/college-specific information.
The new school/college of enrollment will re-evaluate all SU, transfer, and other credit you have received. If you were previously matriculated at SUNY ESF and took SU courses during that time, your school/college, at its discretion, may include those SU courses in manual calculations for determination of intra-University transfer eligibility.
Full-time students transferring to University College may register for up to 11 credit hours during the first semester after the transfer. Students registered in a main campus school/college during the spring semester may not transfer to University College for the purpose of summer study.

Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Goose Creek City Council has agreed to change the way it interacts with the city's Economic Development Advisory Committee.
During council's regular April 9 meeting, Councilmember Franklin Moore pitched the idea of making a three-member committee of councilmembers to work with EDAC.
Other councilmembers gave mixed responses to the idea. Councilmember Mark Phillips is an EDAC member and its city council representative, Mayor Michael Heitzler pointed out.
"I think EDAC would welcome council input," Phillips said. "I'm not sure we need to create a committee. EDAC sometimes feels like they act in a bit of a vacuum . . . I think everyone here is for economic development. I'm not sure how we would pick three (councilmembers) and leave out four."
Mayor Pro-tem Kimo Esarey said the city may need to look for outside expertise, perhaps a consultant.
"I would like council and EDAC to meet together," Councilmember Marguerite Brown said. "The way to solve a problem is to talk it out."
"We need to do it now," Esarey said, adding that he agrees with Moore in that three councilmembers could meet with EDAC and report back to council.
"Logistics is what we're debating," Heitzler said. "We have to all pull together. I like what Mrs. Brown said – let's all meet with EDAC. Let's start with a group meeting."
"How are we supposed to get them together with council if they have a hard time meeting every three months?" Moore asked.
EDAC has quarterly meetings on Thursdays at 11 a.m. They last met March 21.
"Let's give them an opportunity," Heitzler said. "A three-member committee could grow out of it. Maybe two councilmembers and the EDAC chair. We may want to meet monthly."
"This is a great step to get economic development started," Councilmember Jerry Tekac said. "I think we need to have a full-time staff member. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this committee."
A joint meeting is expected to take place before the next regularly scheduled city council meeting on May 14.

There's only three days left to book a unique summer music camp for young people, run by South Leeds Music Centre.
There is a range of exciting activities on offer, with something to tempt everyone aged 8 to 16 who likes music, no matter what their tastes or previous experience.
Each week there will be an activity aimed at under 12s and an activity aimed at teenagers. The under 12s activities include a trash band (make and play your own instrument!), a samba band and a chance to try world percussion.
The 12 plus activities include an urban music workshop, a session on song writing and the chance to play in a rock band.
Glee Club and Music Technology will appeal to all ages throughout the month.
There are also options for instrumentalists, with each week having a focus on a different instrument family- strings, woodwind and keyboards, with a mixed instrumental group rehearsal in the final week. All ability levels are welcome at these sessions- from complete beginners to experienced players!
The summer camp is a first for South Leeds Music Centre, which also celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and is supported by local councillors on the inner south area committee.
It will run over four Saturdays in August, at the South Leeds CLC, on the site of Cockburn School in Middleton. The mornings will be run by experienced music teachers assisted by young volunteers who are working towards awards in Youth Leadership, the Duke of Edinburgh award and 'Vinspired' volunteers' awards.
The sessions cost just £4.50 for a whole morning of music making. As each week will be different young people can try one, some or all of the four week sessions. The summer school will run on Saturdays from 3rd to 24th August with a showcase performance at the last session.
Book by Friday 19th July. For more information about the summer school, or to get an application form, please call 07545 603 954, or email firstname.lastname@example.com Forms can also be accessed from the music centre's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/southleedsmusiccentre

Allotment site in south Leeds reopens after makeover
Caption: (L-R) - Denis Manning (Secretary of Rothwell Allotment Association), Ethel Walton, Janice Thropp, Andrew Wilson (all from Ardsley and Robin Hood Residents' Association) and Councillor Jack Dunn.
An old allotment site in south Leeds has reopened after being given a new lease of life by Leeds City Council.
Springwell Cottage Allotments, which is located off Leadwell Lane in Robin Hood, has seen a raft of improvements undertaken to restore the land to its former glory. This included the re-grading of the land and installation of a new security fence.
With allotments continuing to be very popular across the city, this refurbishment will offer local residents in the area with a chance to acquire a plot. Already, 10 plots have been offered to people on the waiting list, with more available to anyone who wishes to apply on a strictly first come, first serve basis.
On hand to officially open the site was Leeds City Council's lead member for environmental services Cllr Jack Dunn, who was joined by members of the Robin Hood Residents' Association and Rothwell Allotment Federation.
Councillor Jack Dunn, Leeds City Council's lead member for environmental services said:
"It was a real honour to reopen Springwell Cottage allotments, which following its refurbishment is looking absolutely fantastic.
"This site has been regarded by some local residents as a potentially problem area for some time now, and I am delighted therefore that the council, working closely with the Ardsley and Robin Hood Residents' Association, has brought this land back into use for allotments.
"There is huge enthusiasm for allotments from residents in areas right across the city, and it is no different in Robin Hood. Already, 10 plots have been allocated at Springwell Cottage to people on the waiting list and the good news is that there are still more available, but please be quick as they will be allocated on a strictly first come, first served basis."
Notes to editors:

Council welcomes small and medium business growth report
Leeds City Council has welcomed a new national report published this week which shows the city is bucking the national trend in terms of the success of small and medium businesses.
The 'Small Business Outlook' report by the Centre for Cities released on Monday reveals only Leeds and Aberdeen saw their numbers of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) increase between 2008 and 2011.
The report shows the importance of SMEs to the economy, with 60 per cent of total employment in UK cities being provided by small and medium-sized businesses, and their numbers increasing by 37 per cent between 2005 and 2012 compared to a 14 per cent rise in the number of 'large' firms.
Despite the effects of the recession, Leeds has also avoided significant falls in real wage values and public sector job losses.
Reflecting on the report, Leeds City Council executive member for development and the economy Councillor Richard Lewis said:
"We welcome the contents of this report as it is a real indicator of things which are working well and the areas we need to improve on.
"The fact Leeds bucked the national trend in numbers of SMEs is very pleasing and is a reflection of the tenacity of businesses in Leeds, as well as a lot of hard work which has gone into supporting and encouraging small and medium businesses to start up and develop in Leeds and the wider region.
"These businesses have a crucial role to play in terms of job creation as we look to fulfil our ambition of becoming a NEET-free city (those not in education, employment or training).
"In broader terms we need to now work hard to maximise the opportunities to develop businesses in the wider region, and this is where the work of the Leeds City Region, the Enterprise Zone and Local Enterprise Partnership in addition to the proposed new combined authority can and must make a real difference."

Dancing With The Stars
Aww: Derek Hough Hangs With His Family at Disneyland (PHOTO)
With Dancing With the Stars Season 14 long gone, it's good to see pro dancer Derek Hough back on a big ol' set, only this time there are big ol' mouse ears involved too.
The hottie DWTS star was seen at the grand opening of Cars Land at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California yesterday, posing for pics with his super cute (and super blond!) family. Now if that doesn't make you feel all fuzzy inside, we don't know what will.
Speaking of Hough family news, Derek's sister Julianne has been keeping busy lately, appearing at Rock of Ages premieres all over the place. Between Jul's big movie debut and Der's escapades in the magic mouse land, it's safe to say the Hough clan is keeping busy!

Holly Bourke set the career starts record and tied the games played record this weekend
May 5, 2013
LAS VEGAS - UNLV used two home runs and limited Boise State to four hits to take the series finale 5-0 Sunday, at Eller Media Stadium. Holly Bourke had two hits in the game to lead the Broncos who could not complete the series sweep.
UNLV (21-28, 7-8 MW) put the first runs of the game on the board in the bottom of the third inning. A pair of singles and an error loaded the bases with one out against Kenzie Cole, the Bronco starter, for Pauline Monreal who had five hits in the first two games of the series and is the reigning Mountain West Player of the Week. Cole struck out Monreal for the second time in the game to get within an out of ending the threat. Instead, Heather Harrison drove a ball over the fence in left center for a grand slam and made it 4-0.
The Rebels added an insurance run in the fifth with a leadoff home run from Tayler Aleman. Both homers were hit by UNLV seniors playing in the final home game of their careers.
After scoring 24 runs on 23 hits to win the first two games of the series, the Broncos (23-25-1, 7-8 MW) were shutout for the second time in conference play. UNLV pitcher Amanda Oliveto tossed her fifth shutout of the season and third in MW action to pace the Rebels.
Bourke doubled in the third and it looked like Boise State would be the first to strike when Devon Bridges rocketed a line drive toward left, but Rebel third baseman Jamie DePippo leaped up and snagged the liner then fired to second and doubled off Bourke.
Bourke, playing in her school-record-tying 214th game, picked up her 12th multi-hit game of the year with a leadoff single in the sixth to try and start a rally. The inning saw the Broncos put two on with one out but a pop fly and a ground out ended the threat.
Cole went the distance in the loss, pitching six innings. She allowed five runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out six.
Tara Glover and Makenna Weir also singled in the game. Glover's base hit in the first extended her hitting streak to eight games. She followed that with her 25th stolen base of the season. Weir went 1-for-3 to wrap up her best weekend in conference play. The freshman was 4-for-9 with two doubles, a home run and six RBI. Weir also drew three walks and scored four times in the three games.
Mackenzie Whyte was walked two more times in the finale and drew seven bases on balls in the series.
Boise State pitchers have allowed the most home runs in the Mountain West this season, but had not given up a long ball in five games. The two homers Sunday make it 49 on the season. However, in conference games the Boise State staff had only surrendered six through the first 14 conference contests.
The Broncos have allowed 64 runs in conference play, just 37 have been earned.
Boise State will close the season May 9-11, at home against Nevada.

In Lollipop Chainsaw, you follow Juliet Starling on her adventure to stop zombies from taking over the world. There is nothing worse than zombies ruining your day but it is even worse when it's your birthday. The game begins with Juliet in her room waking up and explaining how today is her 18th birthday. Juliet then realizes that she is late to a meeting with her boyfriend Nick before school. On her way, she runs into zombies (literally). After battling through waves of zombies, Juliet finds her boyfriend in the park outside of school. He is bitten by a zombie while trying to protect Juliet. Later on in the school we see that Juliet has cut off Nick's head, this is where we learn that Juliet is a Zombie Hunter. In true Suda51 fashion, the game only gets weirder. Lollipop Chainsaw has a lot to offer in its small package but it is a fun and sexy ride the whole way through.
Juliet being a cheerleader is incorporated very well into the actual gameplay. It goes farther than just having a sexy cheerleader main character. She is a very agile character and it makes for a very fun game. Juliet is able to flip over zombies and perform many agile chainsaw attacks. With her many combos Juliet has at her disposal the game has a good variety for which to kill zombies. The combo system takes a little to get use to because simply mashing buttons won't always perform what you want. When I first started the game, I was unsure if I was going to like the game because of the limited amount of attacks you have. As you progress through the game and kill more zombies, you collect Zombie Medals. These medals are used to buy all sorts of things from new costumes to upgrades to Juliet's stats. Thus, the farther you get in the game the more combos that become available to you.
My favorite thing about Lollipop Chainsaw is the voice acting. The game is extremely entertaining just from the characters talking to each other. The lines between Juliet and Nick are some of the best in the game. The voice actors Tara Strong (Voice of Juliet) and Michael Rosenbaum (Voice of Nick) both perform wonderfully in this game. One-liners galore in this game but all the jokes will keep you laughing from start to finish. The characters are developed and fleshed out very well. By the end of the game, you really appreciate the characters. Albeit all the characters in this game are crazy but in a fun lovable way.
This is a true Suda51 one game and it is one hell of a ride. The crazy and hilarious character design of the whole Starling family is great. Juliet's sisters Cordelia and Rosalind are crazy but are so much fun to have around. Epically the scenes with Rosalind cause that girl is a complete spas and I love it. Throughout the entire game in true Suda51 fashion the game is just weird but in a good way. The game is seemingly written like an old grindhouse movie. With that being said, it is nice that the game doesn't take its self too seriously. This way crazy over the top scenes can happen and the game will just comment on the complete ridiculousness of it. This game is very mature and is indeed design with an older audience in mind.
On of the big downfalls of this game is its excessive use of quick time events. Quick time events are not necessarily a bad thing, but they do start to take away from the game one you do it every 5 minutes. There are a few moments in the game where the quick time event is very interesting. For example, there is one part where you have to press certain buttons to make Juliet jump on multiple zombie's heads. Once you successfully complete this scene Juliet makes a comment and then all the zombie heads fly off in true Japanese samurai style. By the time the game ended I was disappointed that a lot of the game was made up of mini games and quick time events. The 4 Stage in the game is the worst when it comes to mini games and quick time events. I was glad when I was able to kill zombies again in awesome cheerleader fashion.
Each boss in the game is based off a certain type of music or music figure. For example, the first boss in the game is Zed a punk rocker. With each boss in the game, there is another theme of music. The soundtrack to this game is very fitting to the zombie-slaying theme. There is a slew of unique music made for the game and there is some well-known music as well. You are able to select up to five songs to make a tiny playlist to play while you are slaying zombies. My personal favorite is "Hey Mickey" by Toni Baseil, the classic cheerleader song. This song also plays when you activate your star power, which will allow you to kill zombies in one hit from your chainsaw. The music in this game helps add to the different settings and bosses.
I truly enjoyed my playthrough of Lollipop Chainsaw but was upset when it ended so shortly after I had begun it. The game is only about 4 hours long and will take you no more than 3 nights to beat. I feel like the game could of continued another 4 hours and still of been fresh and not lose its appeal. Though what upsets me is the game really wants to push going back and playing through the seven stages you have already beat. While this is some, fun with new costumes and new combos at your disposal this only limits how much replay value the game has. Personally, I have a hard time playing the same levels over and over again. While the game does change with the different difficulties, there is only so much you can do with just seven stages.
All in all, Lollipop Chainsaw is a great game and a refreshing new intelligent property in a world of sequels. Juliet Starling is a sexy and interesting character that makes killing zombies look like fun. It is a lot of fun to leap frog over a zombie and then split it in half with a chainsaw to the middle of the body. I highly recommend that everyone play this game. I would suggest that you rent it first then see if you like the game enough to buy it. The game only takes a few nights to beat. If you are still interested after you beat the game, the first time then I defiantly suggest you buy the game. I really enjoyed the voice acting in this game and that really helps flesh out the characters. This is defiantly not a perfect game with its excess of quick time events and very short story mode. If only this game had a longer story mode because by the time it ended I was just truly getting into the story and the characters. Lollipop Chainsaw earns itself a 8 out of 10. While the game is extremely fun to play and pure enjoyment from start to finish, the story mode is unfortunately just too short. Now if you will excuse me I need to go back to enjoying my Saeko Busujima costumed Juliet and kill more zombies!!

Linux is great in many ways. A complete operating system for free, why is not everybody using it? The truth is that it hasn't been very user-friendly. That is about to change. With the latest version of Ubuntu (version 10.04) I have started to use it on several machines, both desktops and servers. Some say it's the new Windows or Mac OS X. I can't agree there, it's evolving but it's still a half-baked product. Just because it's a free product it's shipped without some important components.
What I'm talking about and what probably is a show stopper for many users is the lack for media support. I can't play DVD-movies on my laptop! Luckily this is easy to fix. If you know how to do, that is. What still makes Linux a hobby and enthusiast project is that many users are technically skilled but can't teach their skills to other people. Until that is changed Linux is not for "everyone". To make Ubuntu multimedia ready, follow the instructions below or check out the source that explains exactly how to do: Linux and Microcontroller Tips!
The changes needed are made in the terminal, you can just copy and paste the below commands:
Add the medibuntu repository:
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list

Lavinia Fisher - First Female American
Serial Killer
<< Previous 1
2 Next
Widely recognized as the first female serial
killer in the United States, Lavinia Fisher was born in 1793, but, the
location of her birth, her maiden name, or any information about her
childhood, is unknown.
However, she grew up to marry a man named John
Fisher and the couple lived near Charleston,
South Carolina. The pair made
their living operating a hotel called the Six Mile Wayfarer House, which
they managed in the early 1800's. Mysteriously, men who were visiting
Charleston began to disappear. As more and more reports were filed with
the authorities regarding these missing men, it was determined that they
were last seen at the Six Mile Wayfarer House, which was called such
because it was six miles outside of
Though the local authorities began an
investigation, there was no evidence that the Fishers were involved. This,
coupled with their popularity in the town, led to the investigation being
Lavinia was a very beautiful and
charming woman, adding to her popularity in the community and to the
business of the hotel. However, it would later be learned that she
utilized those characteristics to help her husband rob and kill
many male travelers. And, as more and more men went missing, the rumor
mill began to do its work.
South Carolina.
The locals soon gathered up a group of
vigilantes who went to the Fishers in February, 1819 to stop the
activities that were occurring there. Though it is unknown what they
may have said or done, they were obviously satisfied with their task
and returned to Charleston, leaving one man by the name of David Ross
to stand watch in the area.
Early the next morning, David Ross was
attacked by two men and dragged before a group of men along with
Lavinia Fisher. He looked to her for help, but instead, she choked him
and smashed his head through a window. Somehow, Ross was able to
escape and alerted authorities.
At nearly the same time, a man named John
Peeples was traveling from Georgia to
Charleston and tired from his
long trip, stopped at The Six Mile House to see if they had a room. He
was warmly greeted by the beautiful Lavinia who informed him they
didn't have a room available but invited him in for tea and a meal.
Her company was so pleasant that he
ignored Lavinia's husband's odd glances at him and chatted with her,
answering her every question. When she excused herself from the table
for a moment, she returned with tea and good news. A room had suddenly
become available if John still wanted it. He accepted and Lavinia
poured him a cup of tea.
But, John didn't like tea, but didn't want
to seem impolite. So, instead of
refusing it or leaving it untouched, he poured it out when she wasn't
looking. Afterwards, she
showed him to his room. He then began to wonder why she had asked him
so many questions. Why was her husband staring at him all evening?
Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable with all
the information that he had provided and worried if he might become a
target for robbery. Feeling safer in the chair by the door than in the
bed, he dozed until he was awakened by a loud noise. Looking around,
he realized that the bed he should have been sleeping in had
disappeared into a deep hole beneath the floor. John quickly jumped
out the window, got on his horse and fled to authorities in
Police then arrested John and Lavinia
Fisher, as well as two men they had been operating with.
The Six Mile Wayfarer House was thoroughly
searched and the grounds dug up. Filled with hidden passages, the
Sheriff reportedly found items that could be traced to dozens of
travelers, a tea laced with an herb that could put someone to sleep
for hours, a mechanism that could be triggered to open the floorboards
beneath the bed, and in the basement, as many as a hundred sets of
Old Charleston Jail in 1937, Frances B.Johnston
The Fishers plead not guilty, but were ordered
to stay in jail until their trial. In the meantime, their co-conspirators
were released on bail. At their trial in May, the jury didn't agree with
their innocent plea, found them guilty of multiple robberies and murders,
and they were sentenced to hang. However, they were given time to appeal
the conviction.
During the wait, they occupied themselves
making a plan to escape. Housed together in a jail that was not heavily
guarded, they began making a rope from jail linens. On September 13, they
put their plan in place and used the rope to drop down to the ground. John
made it out but the rope broke, leaving Lavinia trapped in the cell. Not
willing to go without his wife, he returned to the jail and the two were
afterwards, kept under much tighter security.
In February, 1820, the Constitutional Court
rejected their appeal and their execution was scheduled for later that
A local minister named Reverend Richard Furman
was sent in to counsel the pair if they so wished. John freely talked to
Furman and is said to have begged the priest to save his soul if not his
life. However, the cruel Lavinia would have nothing to do with him.
On the morning of February 18, 1820 the
Fishers were taken from the Charleston Jail to be hanged on the gallows
behind the building. John Fisher went quietly praying with the minister,
whom he had asked to read a letter. Before a crowd of some 2,000 people,
the letter insisted on his innocence and asked for mercy for those who had
done him wrong in the judicial process. He then began to verbally plead
his case before the gathered crowd, but before he was hanged, asked for
their forgiveness.
Lavinia did not go so quietly. She had
requested to wear her wedding dress and refusing to walk to the gallows,
had to be picked up and carried as she ranted and raved. Before the crowd,
she continued to scream, pointedly at the
Charleston socialites, who she
blamed for encouraging a conviction. Before her executioners could tighten
the noose around her neck, she yelled into the crowd, "If you have a
message you want to send to hell, give it to me – I'll carry it." Then,
before they could finish the job, she jumped off the scaffold herself. Not
quite reaching the ground, she dangled down into the crowd. Later,
onlookers would say they had never seen such a wicked stare or chilling
sneer as that which was on 27 year-old Lavinia's face.
Though many sources say that the Fishers were buried in the Unitarian
Church Graveyard located between King and Archdale Streets in
Charleston, this is highly unlikely. There was a Potter's Field
Cemetery next to the jail at the time, where most criminals were buried if
their bodies weren't claimed by family members. Additionally, church
records have been searched, indicating no evidence that she was buried
there. This tale has likely been perpetuated by tour guides.
