Better than my Tevas
I bought these to travel around Vietnam for two weeks. It was very, very hot and humid. Some downpours and they left you wet and with some serious puddles to deal with. Knowing that was likely what I was in for before I left, I researched sport sandals and decided on these rather than my usual Tevas. Part of that decision is because I had to buy online as there are no stores near me that sell Chaco or a decent selection of Teva. Meaning, I couldn't try shoes on for comfort and fit before purchasing them. I didn't want to deal with return either. Because these sandals are so adjustable to your foot, I thought I would try them (and maybe not have to do a return). I was right!
I wore these at home for a bit to break them in. They really don't need breaking in.
I really like that all the straps are adjustable. But, if you get it wrong, it could lead to blistering. I got a blister early on during my trip on one spot on top of my left foot. I think the strap was too tight (even though I was comfortable) and certainly my foot swelled in that heat. It was quite a bit of trial and error after that to get the straps to a more proper fit on that foot. But, once I did, there were no further issues.
Anyway, these were great. They gave me confidence walking around. Dried more than fast enough after getting soaked. I recommend them to anyone. I also like the purple for a color choice. Quite subtle and went with all clothing colors. These shoes are also versatile as to what you can wear them with...which is pretty much anything except a cocktail dress.
I'm going to Vietnam in November and just bought a pair because of your review.

What ever happened to common sense? Seriously? Justice must be tempered with it or else it lacks humanity. Every day there's another story in the paper exemplifying the extreme results of adhering strictly to political correctness.
A 6-year-old points his pencil at a classmate and says "bang" and he's expelled for two days. Another bites his food into the shape of a weapon; he's also sent home. A high school athlete points to the sky after winning a relay race and his entire team is disqualified. A football team has an undefeated record but has it erased because of a simple error.
At home we have a student who tweeted a word that is now part of everyday jargon, thanks to rappers, and she is denied her graduation ceremony. The common denominator? Zero tolerance — no one in authority willing to evaluate the situation from a human perspective.
These are only a few examples and not even the most extreme. I believe that the majority of people don't like what's going on in the schools today; this bizarre homage to PC. It would be nice if just once our school boards would unanimously stand up to these principals and administrators who don't have the courage to do what's right.
If my child could be permanently scarred by a comment or an email then I, as a parent, haven't done my job. Adversity and challenge are part of everyone's everyday life, and it is a parent's responsibility to see to it that his child is strong enough not only to survive but to prosper as well.
In the real world parents won't be there to hold their child's hand and tell them everything will be fine. I find it ironic that the school system teaches that bullies will not be tolerated and yet consistently caves to bullies in the form of disgruntled parents.
Once upon a time, building character was part of the school curriculum. Couldn't it be so once again? Is the difference between right and wrong different today than it was in the past? I don't think so. Throw out PC and bring back common sense. The kids deserve it.

Two Rockville teens have been arrested and charged with armed robbery, according to Montgomery County police.
Joseph D. Simonson, 17, of Monroe Street, and Chavarus A. Bradshaw, 16, of Baltimore Road, have both been charged as adults, police said.
The charges date from Nov. 27, after a 17-year-old boy was robbed on Bauer Drive.
According to police, the boy told them that two people had accosted him and one of them pointed a handgun at him. Both demanded property and stole his wallet and iPod, before ordering him to run away.
On Tuesday, after focusing on Bradshaw and Simonson as suspects, plainclothes officers tried to stop the pair after they left Bradshaw's house.
Montgomery County Police Cpl. Rebecca Innocenti said she didn't know how the two had been identified as suspects.
According to police, Bradshaw pulled what appeared to be a handgun — which later turned out to be fake — out of his pocket and pointed it at the officers.
Police disarmed Bradshaw, and used a police dog to track down Simonson, who had run away, according to a statement detailing their arrests. Police also found a butcher's knife that Simonson threw away as he was fleeing from police.
Police have charged both teens with armed robbery. Police also charged Bradshaw with first-degree assault.
The two were being held on $500,000 bail. Police also said they found a replica AK-47 in Bradshaw's home.
Attorneys for the two boys weren't listed online.

It is such a blessing to have this place next to my house. The food is absolutely delicious, extraordinary and healthy. I enjoyed every bite of that tuna, hummus and chicken sandwiches. God Bless this place, I hope they make lots of money to stay open!
Posted by GREEN BKLYNITE on 07/20/2009
I've heard about Salud from a friend who lives in Ditmas Park. There are some great places in Ditmas but we've been hearing some amazing things about this little place called "SALUD." And they weren't kidding! It's a worthy find and nothing like it in that area of Brooklyn. The idea is cool. It's has a Healthy Neo-Mexican menu. All organic: juices, smoothies and really tasty sandwiches and wraps! Many of the items are home-made. It's great to see a family owned juice bar with something really delicious to offer. This place is a hidden treasure! Go find it!
Posted by A. B. M. on 06/05/2009
The cook at Salud has some good "Sazon" aka flavor in Espanol... and it's all healthy and non-greasy, which is rare for Mexican dishes. Although some people might find the prices a bit too much, think about it, it's ORGANIC...that stuff is always expensive. This place is not as expensive as the spot on NewKirk Plaza (a couple of blocks away) where a smoothie is like $7. I've tried their Soups (Caldo de pollo lentil soup and aztec soup), Torta, and the Tropicolada smoothie and the No Flu For you juice. I've called in for a delivery once and it came really fast, and the food was freshly packed, no sogginess or anything cold. My friends have tried other stuff on their menu and have always given me thumbs up! I need to try more things on their menu but I'm sure it will be just as delicious! This place is a hidden gem in this neighborhood!
Posted by Joseph_Manning on 05/18/2009
I'm so glad SALUD is finally up on MenuPages.com! This place is pure magic. SALUD serves up some of the best organic juices and smoothies in Brooklyn! Fresh and delicious. I recommend a smoothie called the "Lucha Libre". Made from their homemade organic Mexican chocolate. Nothing like it around. Their organic sandwiches are delicious too. I love their "Amazin' Grilled Cheese".

The American Cancer Society turned 100 years old this May. The society is using its 100th birthday to encourage people to join together, make noise and take action to finish the fight against cancer. As the Official Sponsor of Birthdays, The American Cancer Society will continue to make noise by amplifying its efforts to ensure lifesaving cancer research gets funded; by making sure people facing cancer have the help they need, such as a free place to stay during treatment or a ride to get there; and by fighting for equal access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, and clean air.
Today, two out of three people diagnosed with cancer are surviving the disease (for at least five years). There are approximately 13.7 million Americans with a history of cancer alive in the U.S. Some of these individuals are cancer free, while others still have evidence of cancer and may be undergoing treatment.
More than 400 people a day in the U.S. are celebrating birthdays that would have otherwise been lost to cancer.
June 2 is National Cancer Survivors Day.
The American Cancer Society has three online resources where survivors and loved ones can connect with each other to share information and support: the American Cancer Society Cancer Survivors Network, Circle Of Sharing and WhatNext.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Survivors Network (csn.cancer.org) remains the only online community of its kind created by and for cancer survivors and their loved ones. More than 140,000 registered CSN members share their personal stories with others facing this disease.
Circle Of Sharing (cancer.org/CircleOfSharing) is a completely private site where patients and survivors share information only with family and friends. Circle Of Sharing stores each user's health information on the Microsoft HealthVault personal medical records system.
Through a private, secure email inbox, users choose who to invite to their Circle and what they can see.
WhatNext (acs.WhatNext.com) is a social networking site developed with the participation of the American Cancer Society.
WhatNext instantly connects users with others who have the same diagnosis, who are facing similar health decisions, and who are wondering about potential treatment side effects.

Poor workmanship
This place is a joke. They did a crappy job. They are all about getting money up front & getting started as fast as possible but when they mess up then its forever to get your car back & they act like they are doing you a favor to fix it after all it was a cheap paint job. Well if you like your car & don't want it messed up go somewhere else

Best Paint Job
I let Sprayglo repaint my 2000 Ford Mustang and the car looks like it came straight off of the Ford dealership lot. They have exceptional customer service and do the best work. Since I had mine painted I've had several people inquire where they can go to get a similar job. I definitely recommend Sprayglo if you need to have your car repainted.

His vehicle was a week late because he had to bring it back because the paint work was done so poorly. He wasn't kept adequately informed. He had to contact this business for inforamtion. He wouldn't recommend them for the above reasons.

Greg said he rated 3 overall because he had a bad experience at pick-up. They did a great job but there were some discrepancies on what was being charged. He was told one price but they couldn't agree at pick-up. Greg had an e-mail with a price, and they were going to honor it, but another gentleman came up and said he had to pay more. It took an extra day because they corrected something that wasn't right with the paint, so not only did he end up not getting his vehicle for another day, he ended up not getting the discount. He called them, so he was informed of the status only when he inquired. Due to the above he wasn't satisfied with treatment by the personnel at pick-up, and he wasn't satisfied with communication because they just weren't being fair nor understanding about the $299 special. Greg expressed to them he wouldn't recommend them because the way the whole scenario went down and he was just really disappointed.

Jason D. at Sprayglo Conyers responded on 09/16/2011
The quote you were given when you dropped the vehicle off was $535.95. When you picked the vehicle up, you brought in a coupon for 10% off the paint service and that brought your total down to $485.95. I applied this discount even though the coupon clearly states that the coupon must be presented at the time of leaving the vehicle. We NEVER change the price of the job after repairs have begun unless you request additional services. If you were not satisfied with the price when you dropped it off, it should have been addressed at that time. These are ridiculous accusations and I don't understand why you feel the need to make them when we were clear & fair with you from the very beginning. All paperwork with prices and payments have your signature of approval, including BEFORE any work was performed.

We never charge a different price than was quoted unless a customer requests additional repairs. We advertise with various coupons and specials, one of which is a $299 Poly-Glo paint service. There is an additional charge of $50-$100 for trucks, vans, and SUVs. This is always included with the quote and no work is begun until the customer has approved the repair order in writing. The total with all services performed on this particular vehicle was $800 and it was communicated very clearly to the customer.

Xavier said he wasn't satisfied with the quality of the repair, because there were some dents in the area of where the damage occurred and there was a dent on the drivers side fender, that wasn't there before he dropped it off. He brought it to the business's attention and they said they wouldn't fix the dents and they didn't create the dent on his fender. However, he loved the paint work they performed and they did an excellent job. His vehicle was ready 3 days past the time it was promised, because the hose hit his vehicle while the paint was drying, so they had to repaint it. He mentioned that he would like to get the dents in his vehicle pulled for a reasonable price, since he has already paid a considerable amount already. He would also like to discuss the fact that he has been advertising for the business and recommending others, since he has been receiving several compliments on the paint work.

We apologize for the delay. Unfortunately when dealing with parts ordered from dealerships it is fairly common to run into delays and wrong parts being shipped, even when ordering by the vehicle's VIN. We specialize in inexpensive repairs and paint services and use aftermarket parts whenever possible. They are less expensive and are available very quickly. The problem with the paint was addressed and corrected, however, I understand and apologize for the delay. IF there is anything we can do to make it up to you in the future, please do not hesitate to let us know.

- Oregon Dispute Resolution Conference
Willamette University College of Law to host the second annual Oregon Dispute Resolution Conference
Willamette University College of Law is pleased to host the second annual Oregon Dispute Resolution Conference honoring Bryan M. Johnston on Saturday, April 17, 2010.
This second annual conference represents the Oregon dispute resolution community's continuing commitment to seek ways to increase productive collaboration between its members. The conference is intended to bring together the varied and disparate members of the dispute resolution community to keep up old friendships, cultivate and grow existing dispute resolution ventures, and meet new people and create new projects. It is our way to walk our talk — to take the time to collaborate, create value in the community and negotiate our way to a better Oregon.
The nature of this event is that of a self-facilitated workshop. We will start the conference with short updates on projects begun last year. There is good news about several projects, and last year's event sparked some new activities worth further discussion. Updates will be as brief as possible so we can begin meeting in the "affinity groups" we identified last year: government employees, public policy mediators and conveners, private sector mediators, community mediators, court mediators, and educators. In the afternoon, we will divide up according to project interest. Afterward, we will convene to hear the results of group sessions and to make plans for continuation of the projects we choose.
This event also provides the opportunity to honor the memory of Bryan Johnston, who helped improve the state of Oregon in a variety of significant ways. During the luncheon, the Bryan M. Johnston Distinguished Service Award will be presented to this year's recipient.
Last year's inaugural event was a terrific addition to the annual calendar of Oregon dispute resolution events. We hope that this year you will help make the conference even bigger and more productive.
For more information on the conference, contact Reyna Meyers at 503-370-6046 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Lambertville woman writes book on loss and grievingWritten by Mary Petrides | | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Jan Hudson of Lambertville, lost her husband four and a half years ago, she didn't have what she needed to heal.
"I was looking everywhere," she said. "[I thought] I must be the only person that feels this way."
So Hudson wrote a book and founded a group to help others.
She recently self-published her book "Cry when you cry, and that's okay … A Mourning Journal." The spiral-bound book contains about 20 pages with photographs — Hudson is a professional photographer — and inspirational words. Most of the pages, however, are blank, with lines for journaling.
"It just basically takes you through the first six to eight months of the mourning process," she said.
"As it goes on, it gets progressively 'I did better today,'" she said.
"You're crying, but all of a sudden as you're going through it you say, 'Oh, I'm getting better,'" said Donna Vaughn, Hudson's friend.
Bookstores and libraries carry books on grieving, but not books like this, said Vaughn, who lost her husband about six years ago.
"The book is something that's totally different than anything I've ever tried to find," Hudson said. "Even … being this many years away from it, it's one of those things that you pick it up and you open it up and you read the beginning, and all of a sudden you find yourself crying."
Hudson also began Widow Strength, an informal group for people who have lost spouses, children, parents or friends.
The group is mostly women older than 40, Hudson said, but there's no rule. The group meets about once a month, usually at Hudson's house, and the members talk.
"We need somebody who's gone through it," Vaughn said.
No one in the group is a professional grief counselor or psychologist, Vaughn said. Rather, members comfort each other, keep tabs on each other and support each other through their mourning.
Vaughn said even when the journal's pages are full, it is a good keepsake to have.
"[It shows] even yourself that you made it, you made it through," she said. "Even though you never get over it, you made it through.
"There's a light at the end of the journey, so just keep walking," Hudson said.
Hudson's book sells for $24.95 at www.widowstrength.net.
She has sold more than 500 copies.

Um…have you been on Facebook, lately? If so you've probably noticed some major changes from the social network giant. Changes that I could hardly keep up with until I sat down last night and took a look at all of them.
1. You can now tag the friends who are with you within a wall post.
2. You can now tag your location within a wall post.
3. This is probably the newest and biggest feature that Facebook has rolled out. An updated and easier version of their groups/lists feature that allows you now to decide what groups see your posts.
Other features are on the way too including smart lists, grouping keyword stories, and a subscribe button. Some of them you might have already seen others you might see in a few weeks.
Whether, this is all to combat Google+ or these are updates that Facebook had already been planning no one can say, regardless though there seems like a lot of them.
Are you happy with the updates or are you thinking this is changing way too much in a short period time?

Unable to turn on file sharing
Hello :)
For some reason, I am unable to click the box to turn on "personal file sharing". Also, I am unable to turn off "printer sharing". Any thoughts or suggestions?
I am on a powermac G5 using 10.4.11
Thank you!
have you got an admin account on that mac or are you a standard user
yes, i have the admin access. it's bizarre, because all the other items on the list can be turned on and off (windows sharing, remote login, etc). just can't turn on file sharing or turn off printer sharing.

Tim Cook angrily rejects political proposal asking for profits-first policies
Tim Cook Angrily Rejects Political Proposal Asking for Profits-First Policies - Mac Rumors
Stick it to 'em Tim!
On the other hand, he has a responsibility to the people who loan the company money (stockholders) to do the things he wants to do. That's how the public market works. Doing a "smackdown" on his investors is NOT generally a good idea. Explaining to the investors why he is using their money the way he is using their money is a better approach, IMHO. Then any investor who is unhappy about his decisions can vote with their money.
Its not like Apple is going belly up.. They are turning a profit more now then ever. Sounds like just had some shareholders wanting to squeeze another penny instead of wanting to let Tim future proof the company with more investments and research & development. His job is to make sure the company continues to run day after day and year after year while still making a profit. Most stockholders would assume to invest today, get their profit tomorrow and pull out. Letting the company fall to the ground while they move onto the next big investment.
And while we're at it, lets just go back to the days when no such thing as a middle class existed either. I'm just about as conservative as they come politically, but even I would not consider going back to the place the NCPPR would have us go. You don't have to be a liberal to realize that group has no soul.
I don't actually believe that Apple doesn't put profits first (they're a business after all with a huge profit margin) but I do believe that they do put other things first before massive profits some of the time. Then again, at least they believe in climate change, something that "think tank" decided was worthy of quotation marks as if it wasn't real. I'm going to warn you - if you value your brain, tread lightly.
The first line of that press release gets me:
My favourite part though is this:
IMO, I think Apple really needs to buy back all of their stock and go private. Hungry wolves have their eyes on Apple and if like-minded people do manage to get a majority share of the company in time, they will put in place whoever they want so they can sacrifice the company's core values and squeeze everything they can out of it. This is a sad trend, but vulture capitalism is a big problem today. Just look at what happened to Hostess.
@ MacInWin
I think Apple also has the right to tell shareholders that they don't want their money, or they should have the right anyway in principle. Besides, judging from a vote on the matter, 97+% of the shareholders agree with Tim Cook. It's probably worth mentioning that hardly any of these people actually loaned money to Apple. That money was loaned out many years ago by others, and the stock is just traded as a commodity these days. If I understand this all correctly, anyway.
Apple has never seen a penny from the pocket of that group of "investors".
As a shareholder I agree with Cook 100%. Put some money in during the 'dark days' back in 1999 and any return has to be worth the risk.
"Apple CEO Gets Upset When Asked Investment Question by Investor; Turns it into Populist Gold with Rant"
CEOs don't like to get called on stuff at all, let alone publicly. The investor got what you get in these situations. I don't buy what Cook is spinning as anything more than a good CEO doing his job and capitalizing on a situation. As far as the environment and social issues... when they quit using pollution central and slave labor to drive their product, I'll take their environmental and social consciousness more seriously. Whatever.
From what I've read of this thread, did anyone actually catch the *context* of his *actual remarks* or did we all stop reading at the headline/lead?
He didn't say that Apple wasn't interested in making a profit, nor did he say that investors who are interested in profit should go elsewhere. What he *did actually say* is that not **everything** Apple does is concerned with return on investment above all other considerations -- and brought up the example of Apple making sure that their devices work well for blind and other disabled persons. As for the "go elsewhere" quote, he again didn't actually say that, its a paraphrase. What he actually said was that sometimes Apple invests in things not because of guaranteed ROI but because they were "just and right." His actual quote: "if you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock."
The reason he said that is because the idiot questioner (unsurprisingly from a conservative dumb tank) asked to him pledge -- on the spot -- that Apple would from now on filter everything they do by ROI. Said idiot also had his proposal put on the ballot for shareholders to vote on -- and he didn't manage to get even three percent of the vote. His other question to Cook made it plain he was a climate-change-denier nutcase with an agenda against Al Gore. Again, Cook handed him his rear end and told him to SD&STFU.
ENTIRELY appropriate answers on both counts, IMO.
Chas, I know exactly what was said, and the context. I'm pretty sure everyone else in the discussion does as well. What I'm confused over is why you think we don't?
Sorry, I was irritated at the poor quality of the reporting I'd seen on the event in question, and that was reflected in the thread title and some of the things said in earlier posts. I meant only to clarify what actually happened as opposed to what most of the media summarized. My apologies to any members here that I offended with my over-caffeinated tone.
I think something that is often forgotten is a corporation is not by default a profit producing engine. A corporation is a legal construct whereby people band together and pool their resources, talents and labor to accomplish a common vision. That vision may only be to maximize ROI, but it doesn't have to be. Witness the many non-profit corporations.
Apple has profit as a major part of its vision, but it isn't the sole goal, and I believe that was the message Tim Cook was trying to get accross.
EDIT: I wouldn't want to be treated by an MD whose only goal was maximum ROI. The unfortunate truth is most of us have to labor to eat, pay the bills and keep a roof over our heads. If we are truly fortunate we can achieve those ends through laboring at something we find interesting and fulfilling.
And, I believe we all benefit when we are served by people who would do what they do if they were rich enough to not have to work.

Bell Book and Candle, New York
Six floors up a townhouse on West 10th Street in NYC sits a garden unlike any other in town. Imagine 60 aeroponic towers filled with plants, and an electronically timed, energy-efficient water-filtration system; from far away the towers look almost like cacti, grown over with herbs, vegetables and fruits.
Bell Book and Candle is a new restaurant (it opened in late 2010) that grows almost 60 percent of its produce on the roof for use in its menu of updated American classics. (The items that the rooftop produces are listed on the menu itself, including four varieties of nasturtium, purple tomatillo, kermit eggplant, poblano peppers, bibb lettuce and fennel, among many others.) Executive chef John Mooney is reliant on somewhat old-fashioned methods of labor: the building lacks an elevator, so they instituted a pulley system to transport goods to and from the roof.

The Press Release:
The Memphis Grizzlies acquired guard/forward D.J. Kennedy from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for guard Jeremy Pargo, a 2014 second round pick and cash considerations, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today.
Kennedy (6-6, 215) made two appearances for Cleveland as a rookie last season, recording 6.0 points and 3.5 rebounds on .417 shooting in 29.5 minutes after being called up from the NBA Development League's Erie Bayhawks on April 21, 2012.
The 22-year-old posted 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists on .447 shooting in 37.3 minutes in 44 games (all starts) for Erie. He also averaged 14.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the Bayhawks' three postseason games.
The Pittsburgh native enjoyed a four-year career (2007-11) at St. John's University, where he became just the third player in school history to total at least 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 150 steals, joining Malik Sealy and George Johnson.
Pargo (6-2, 219) averaged 2.9 points and 1.3 assists on .333 shooting in 9.6 minutes in 44 games (five starts) as a rookie for Memphis last season. The 26-year-old Gonzaga product originally was signed by the Grizzlies as a free agent on Dec. 10, 2011.
Who He Is:
Kennedy had a long if not particularly distinquished career at St Johns of the Big East. Part of the reason may have been a coaching change that occured during his time at St. Johns taking away a majority of his ball-handling responsibility and making him more of a slasher than shooter.
As a Junior, Kennedy was clearly the best player on St. John's roster despite not being highly skilled offensively. He has been a very effective defender and is very good operating as a point forward type of ball distributor.
In the pros Kennedy is more comfortable as a guard than small forward where he is slightly undersized at 6′ 5″ tall. In the D-League Kennedy showed a decent scoring touch averaging 15.1 PPG on 44% FG shooting with a respectable 36.4% shooting from behind the arc. He played in two games last season for Cleveland averaging 6 PPG with a career high 12 points in his debut with the Cavs.
What it Means:
This is simple. While D J Kennedy could provide some deep relief behind Rudy Gay and Quincy Pondexter at Small Forward now that Dante Cunningham has been traded. The reality is likely that Kennedy, who has a non-guaranteed contract, will be released before the start of the season.
The Grizzlies are reportedly interested in Hamed Haddadi according to our friends at Straight Outta Vancouver (corrected from early version). If that signing happens then it is highly unlikely the Grizzlies will keep 15 players on the roster to start the season, especially considering their cap situation. This makes Kennedy the most likely player to drop since he won't cost the Grizzlies anything to do that.
Basically this move was a salary dump for the Grizzlies, albeit a small one. Pargo's salary was guaranteed this year and this move, in conjunction with the Cunningham trade earlier this week, frees up some much needed money. Remember, with the Grizzlies over the luxury tax threshold, every dollar saved means two dollars to the bottom line.

The high school graduation season in the northern Panhandle continues this weekend with 3 schools holding ceremonies.
Saturday, Chadron High holds its commencement at 10:00, followed by Crawford at 2:00. Gordon-Rushville graduation is Sunday at 2:00, with all 3 ceremonies in their respective gyms.
Chadron High graduation has traditionally been on Sunday and has been at the Armstrong Gym at Chadron State College for more than a decade, but the start of construction on the CSC Events Center project led to the decision to move the ceremonies this year.
The Chadron High ceremonies can also be seen online with livestreaming starting around 9:30 as a service to those unable to come to the ceremony in person.
Principal Jerry Mack says the link to watch the steaming video can be found on the Chadron school district website www.chadronschools.net and on his blog at www.mackematics.blogspot.com
Alliance High isn't holding its graduation for another week, but the annual Baccalaureate service for the seniorswill be held this Sunday night at 7:00 in St. John's Lutheran Church. It's not a school district event, but is instead co-sponsored by the Alliance Ministerial Association.
The service is open to the public and will feature music, the sharing of scripture, messages, and prayer…with several Alliance High students sharing their talents.

Kristen Bell on Veronica Mars Movie's Future: Don't Lose Hope
While we hear Kristen Bell's voice on Gossip Girl each week, and Jason Dohring made a brief appearance on Ringer, we really want to see them reunited as Veronica Mars and Logan Echolls. UPN's Veronica Mars ran for three seasons, and rumors of a movie have been swirling since its 2007 cancellation. In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, Bell gave a status update: "... we, like the few people involved that have it in our hearts — are still assessing all of our options and game-planning it."
Bell tried to finance the movie herself in 2010, but Warner Bros. wouldn't release the rights. "I know [show creator] Rob Thomas has it in his heart to make it; this is his baby," said Bell. "It's not off the table for any of us. We're just still trying to champion the powers that be to believe us…. Don't lose hope."
Don't the powers that be know we need closure on the epic romance that was Vergan? (Still working on that 'shipper name.) How can it span years and continents and ruin lives and shed blood if the movie is never made? Fan fiction doesn't cut it, Warner Bros.
For now, we'll leave you with one of Logan's inspirational messages of the day, cribbed from Eleanor Roosevelt: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Only a fortunate few–nine, to be exact–will ever wrap their hands around the leather steering wheel of the 2014 Veneno Roadster, Lamborghini's ultimate hand-built supercar. Spanish for "venom," the Veneno was designed as a racing prototype but observes just enough niceties (including an open-air cockpit) to be declared street legal.
Powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine, the car will produce 750 hp and rocket you to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, with a blow-your-ears-back top speed of 220 mph. And though priced at $4.5 million–more than ten times the cost of Lamborghini's Aventador–the Veneno already has buyers lining up to pick their poison.

Read Poems by
Roman Tunkel
Our love has come to us, no longer young'un,
I've waited many years for something quite so rare…
My heart is rocked by squall, so sweet and wondrous,
Most valuable is that my toxic state is shared.
At this threshold of crazy generations
I have discovered you - the treasure of this world…
And now you're mine - affectionate, vivacious,
The flicker of the joy, like always prescious gold.
There is no longer need for that escape door,
The moment, freeze in time, be endless like a kiss…
And this, my sweet, was worthy to be born for…
My only one regret is all the years we've missed!

No. 20 NC State Falls at Miami, 80-71
Jan. 19, 2014
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The No. 20 NC State women's basketball team (16-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) dropped just its second ACC game of the season on Sunday afternoon, falling to the Miami Hurricanes by a final score of 80-71.
The Wolfpack trailed by 12 points in the second half and constantly chipped away at this Hurricane lead, pulling within two with 2:29 remaining. Miami was then able to close the game out thanks to strong shooting down the stretch.
Senior center Markeisha Gatling had a strong day for the Wolfpack, scoring 25 points on 11-16 shooting from the field. She was joined in double figures by Kody Burke (13 points, seven rebounds) and Myisha Goodwin-Coleman (13 points, six assists).
Miami was led by Krystal Saunders, who had a career day in the Hurricanes' win. Saunders scored 22 points on 6-10 shooting and shot a red-hot 6-8 from beyond the three-point arc.
NC State outrebounded (45-42) and outshot (42%-38%) Miami (11-7, 3-2 ACC) but had difficulty overcoming 17 turnovers, miscues from which the Hurricanes scored 16 points.
Miami's press defense forced NC State into a few early turnovers, and the Hurricanes held a 15-13 lead at the second media stoppage (11:35) of the first half. Junior guard Krystal Barrett was a key player for the Pack in the first part of the game, scoring six early points on 3-4 shooting. Her early scoring was only exceeded by Gatling's, who scored seven points on 3-6 shooting in the first few minutes of the game.
Junior point guard Len'Nique Brown did a great job of preventing the lead from getting too much larger, as she stepped in the lane and took two crucial charge calls on streaking Miami guards.
Miami was able to extend its advantage throughout the first half due to solid three-point shooting, as the 'Canes connected on 6-16 (37.5 percent) attempts from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes of the game. The Hurricanes also held a 23-15 edge in rebounding en route to taking a 42-31 halftime lead.
NC State shot well in the first half, connecting on 13 of 28 field-goal attempts (46.4 percent). Gatling scored a half-high 14 points for the Wolfpack, shooting 6-10 from the field. Barrett (six points) and Burke (five) were the Pack's next highest scorers.
State came out of the locker room with an attacking intent, scoring the first four points of the half and ultimately cutting its deficit to eight points (54-46) at the first media stoppage (14:10) of the second half. The Wolfpack connected on six of its first 10 field-goal attempts to begin the second frame.
NC State used a 6-0 run over a 2:26 span in the middle portion of the second half to pull within five points (58-53) with 9:08 to play in the game. Goodwin-Coleman, Gatling, and Barrett all made field goals during this run.
The Pack then made it a one-possession game with just 4:05 to play when Goodwin-Coleman sank two free throws to pull her team within three points (66-63).
Trailing 68-63, a three-pointer by Burke pulled the Pack within two points with just 2:29 on the clock. Miami was able to close things out from this point, scoring 12 of the final 17 points to end the game at its final margin.
NC State will next be in action at home on Thursday, Jan. 23 vs. Boston College. The Wolfpack and Eagles will tip off from Reynolds Coliseum at 7 p.m.

To what extent have models of warfare influenced the conduct of warfare and the development of mathematics? In War Games, Philipp von Hilgers approaches these problems from various vantage points, using games and models from German history to frame his questions. The language and treatment draws heavily from the field of semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. Although the questions War Games raises are interdisciplinary in nature, readers whose disciplinary training did not incorporate a heavy dose of deconstructionist philosophy will find the prose hard going.
Familiarity with German history and culture will also be an advantage. On the language side, the work, translated by Ross Benjamin, retains the flavor of its original academic German, including a penchant for compound words such as "life-world" or "making-calculable". On the history side, readers from North America will need to brush up on the political role of nineteenth-century Prussia, and may be surprised to find themselves reading about the First and Second World Wars from the viewpoint of the Germans.
The patient reader will uncover a wealth of fascinating detail packed into a small space. Topics covered include medieval and early modern games influenced by warfare, in particular the Battle of Numbers (Rithmomachia), the innovative use of randomness in the war-games played by the nineteenth-century German General Staff, and the influence of the German War College on the development of university mathematics teaching. Because von Hilgers' primary interest is philosophy, not armchair strategy, he does not provide enough information to play any of the games he references. However, non-specialists may enjoy pondering one of his principal philosophical questions: how do, or how should, formal systems of symbols incorporate the effect of evolution in time?
Ursula Whitcher is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
