Honey Creek Friends Cemetery is the beautifully maintained resting place of many old time Quaker members of the Honey Creek Friends meeting near New Providence, Hardin County, Iowa. Across the road from the cemetery is the wonderful old brick Honey Creek Friends Church built in 1916 on the site of previous Quaker churches dating to 1852. The cemetery and church are maintained in immaculate condition by Linn Reece and his wife Dee, who live next door. Linn is my third cousin. We are both great-great-grandsons of Asher Kersey who is buried in the cemetery. The genealogy of most of the people in this cemetery, and all of the people for whom grave markers are pictured in the links below can be found in these web pages, starting at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=millerm.
The Honey Creek Friends Church is a National Historic Site in the midst of much needed repairs. All of the work is funded by private contributions. The Honey Creek Church Preservation Group sells several items to help the funding. Among them are notepaper for $3 with the drawing of the church shown above by Maynard Reece. Mr. Reece is a member of the meeting, as well as a noted wildlife artist. He designed many of the "Duck Stamps" so familiar to duck hunters. Also available are commemorative tiles with the picture of the church for $9, and a decorative plate with church picture on top and a brief history on the bottom for $18. Of most interest to genealogists may be the reprint of Frank T. Clampitt's book "Some Incidents in My Life - A Saga of the 'Unknown' Citizen". Frank Clampitt was a grandson of Asher Kersey. He grew up in the New Providence area and recounts much interesting anecdotal history of the area and its families. The book is available for $8 and well worth the cost. To purchase any of these items or to make contributions to the repair fund, contact:
Vera Cutler 30293 "O" Ave. New Providence, IA 50206 515-497-5458.
Vera is the curator of a small but excellent and growing museum of artifacts and records associated with the church.

SYDNEY (AP) - Peter Jackson has wrapped up filming "The Hobbit" trilogy and shared pictures of his last day on the set with his Facebook fans.
The New Zealand filmmaker provided a steady stream of updates and photos from the set of the final film, "The Hobbit: There And Back Again," on Friday. The second film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," will be released in December, and the finale appears in 2014.
The director posted pictures of dwarves, crew members and actor Martin Freeman, who plays the protagonist, hobbit Bilbo Baggins. The photo updates began and ended with pictures of Jackson's cat, Mr. Smudge. The final photo shows the director and feline cuddling, along with the caption: "A long day. A great day. Thank you all for being part of it! Now for some sleep!"
"The Hobbit," based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel of the same name, is the prequel to Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." It follows Baggins' adventures as he tries to help a group of dwarves regain their wealth and stature from the dragon Smaug.
The first film in the trilogy, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," opened in December 2012 and surpassed $1 billion in box-office receipts worldwide.

LONG POND, Penn. (June 8, 2008) -- Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 DEWALT Ford Fusion team continued their roll of top-10 finishes this weekend at Pocono Raceway, bringing home seventh place. Prior to the race at Pocono, crew chief Chip Bolin decided to build a new car and try something new. When the team tested the car just two weeks ago at Pocono Raceway, they were happy with the results from the get-go and brought RK-606 back to race. The decision proved to be a good one, as Kenseth posted decent times during each of the weekend's practice sessions and qualified a respectable 13th for Sunday's Pocono 500. Despite the ever-changing track conditions, the uncertainty in pit strategy and the overall difficulty passing with the new-style race car, Kenseth, with the help of the "Killer Bees" pulled off a strong run at the 2.5-mile Pennsylvania track.
Pole sitter, Kasey Kahne led the 43-car field to the green flag under warm, muggy conditions at Pocono Raceway. Kenseth rolled off 13 and soon reported that he was having trouble turning off of turn one. In spite of his concerns, Kenseth managed to advance to 12th place by the first caution on lap 28. During the yellow flag period, Kenseth made his way to pit road for four tires and fuel, along with air pressure and wedge adjustments. After a quick stop, Kenseth rejoined the race in ninth position set to take the green flag on lap 31.
Kenseth continued to cruise around in ninth place, unable to make up any ground because the new style cars make passing difficult. Other than the passing issue, Kenseth reported being satisfied with the overall handling of his Ford Fusion.
On lap 56, Kenseth was scored in ninth place when caution fell again. Kenseth was back on pit road and pit strategy came into play. Bolin called for two tires and fuel on this stop and when the green flag was displayed again on lap 63, Kenseth was running fourth. Just four laps later, however rain started to fall and the race was briefly red flagged.
The clouds and rain altered the track conditions and once racing resumed, the handling of Kenseth's Ford changed as well. Another pit stop on lap 81 allowed the No. 17 crew to tweak the DEWALT Ford and by the half way point of the race, Kenseth was again running comfortably inside the top 10.
Throughout the ensuing laps, Kenseth held a top-10 running position. However, he reported that the DEWALT Ford was "wicked loose." A caution came on lap 176 allowing Kenseth to pit to correct the handling problems. Though the handling problems were corrected, because of pit strategy, Kenseth restarted the race in 22nd place, with just 19 laps remaining in competition. In true Kenseth fashion, he forged ahead and by lap 188, he was back inside the top 10. In the final laps, Kenseth continued to make gains and ultimately captured the checkers in seventh place.
Before an estimated crowd of 105,000, Kasey Kahne won the Pocono 500, his ninth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory. Brian Vickers, Denny Hamlin, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Jeff Burton followed to complete the top five.
The solid finish for Kenseth and the No. 17 team boosted them from 16th to 15th in overall point standings – closing the gap on 12th place by just 34 points.
Kenseth and the No. 17 team will travel to Brooklyn, Mich. next week for the LifeLock 400 at Michigan International Speedway. The racing action will be broadcast live on TNT television and MRN radio affiliates beginning at 2:30 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, June 15.
Crew Chief Chip Bolin on the Pocono 500:
"We decided before we came up here to test that we were going to build a new car and try something to come up here, and when we unloaded it he (Matt Kenseth) really liked the way it drove, so we brought back and he liked it when we unloaded it. Everybody pretty much busted their butt there in the month of May to get it built so we could bring it up here and test it, and I think everybody's hard work paid off. I don't think we've ever run that strong at Pocono.
"Points become more and more important every week, and the 9 looks like he's got his game. He's actually moved up. And now the guys we're chasing are the 07 and the 20, but we've still got to get around the guys that are between us and them. But, it looks like if we all do what we're supposed to be doing when we're doing it, we'll be all right."

When I read last week that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended that primary care physicians not only screen adults for obesity but recommend intensive, multicomponent behavior interventions, I wondered why that wasnt already happening.
Patrick ONeil, president of The Obesity Society and the director of the Weight Management Center at the Medical University of South Carolina, told me why it wasnt.
Its been an issue that both doctors and patients have avoided, says ONeil, who has worked in the field for three decades.
ONeil says he thinks doctors struggle because of time and staff constraints, as well as perhaps lacking some psychological training when comes to talking about weight issues with patients.
He also noted that some patients might be offended by a discussion about their weight.
The examining room gets to be a minefield, says ONeil.
But he hopes the task forces recommendation will help encourage both doctors and patients to be open to the process, though it may require more public awareness.
With almost any message to large numbers of people, its naive to think you only need to say it once to make it be a part of common practice.
BMI of 30
The task force set the standard for referrals to an intervention program at a body mass index of 30 higher. BMI is calculated from the measured weight and height of an individual. And while it noted that waist circumference may be an acceptable alternative to BMI in some patient populations, it didnt specify any numbers.
The USPSTF found adequate evidence that intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions for obese adults can lead to an average weight loss of 4 to 7 kg (8.8 to 15.4 pounds), the report states. These interventions also improve glucose tolerance and other physiologic risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
But the task force, which has made some controversial recommendations in the past three years, added that it found inadequate direct evidence about the effectiveness of these interventions on long-term health outcomes (for example, death, cardiovascular disease and hospitalizations).
If the task force sounds familiar, its the same group that caused major stirs by recommending that women in their 40s forgo mammograms and that healthy men forgo prostate-specific antigen tests to screen for prostate cancer.
The group said the screenings did little to no good. Some oncologists, urologists and advocates disagreed.
Insurance coverage
But ONeil applauds the recommendation for treatment as another small victory in the battle in the obesity epidemic.
Perhaps the greater benefit of the recommendation, he adds, is that it is a signal to insurance companies that they should start covering the costs of obesity intervention programs.
Currently, some insurance companies pay only for the most extreme treatments such as bariatric surgery but not the interventions that ultimately could cost less than surgery.
And as far as which programs doctors should refer patients to, ONeil says The Obesity Society expects to finalize a certification process in the fall so that a third party can verify which programs are following the best practices for effective weight loss.
ONeil adds that family doctors cant be expected to be a gatekeeper for which programs patients go to but certainly could be reliable signposts.

We use this in lieu of butter for frying and cooking since it does not spoil and has a higher smoke point. It will not burn like regular butter. I like that it is organic. Only wish that it specified that it was from pasture fed cows.

Max places his freshly washed hands upon the flour and measuring cups. I, still in the kitchen, type in "banana bread recipe" and watch from the corner of my eye. I'm expecting a definite go-to recipe to pop up at the top of my search results, much like it always does for classics like rice krispy treats or blondies.
He decides it's time to get the eggs out from the refrigerator, which he does. He then looks over and waits patiently at the table as my eyebrows furrow and I squint at the ambient glow of my laptop screen. Did I type that wrong? I sift through and click and re-sift, then search once again and get nothing but flooded with random excessive information.
I wonder…
I mean, it's not that complicated. It's a quick-bread, for goodness sakes! And just because a recipe is deemed "standard" doesn't mean it isn't exceptional. Or perhaps being standard is the exception with recipes, currently.
I mutter, "I mean, really… How can there be this many variations on such a simply delicious thing like banana bread?"
Max has flour in a bowl, and I hear *whap* as he cracks the egg and drops it effortlessly into the mixing bowl. I quickly snap to attention, though slightly impressed by his skills (he's only four and not a single shell). I move to him and pick one recipe at random based on basic (awful) search engine results. We begin testing.
Naturally this turned into a banana bread baking excursion.
The most frustrating portion of this particular project is that the differences are slight between recipes: vanilla or no vanilla, cinnamon or no cinnamon, nuts or no nuts, brown sugar or white sugar, 325 degrees or 350. Just between us, though, I think that last difference has to do with someone's oven running a bit hot or perhaps them baking on a low oven rack. Or, maybe they used a different type of baking pan (glass versus nonstick yields a big difference, as you know). It happens, though. Back to testing.
I deciphered the recipes and compared the ingredients and quantities of each late at night. I have baked and tested those recipes worthy of breaking a few eggs, based on known working ingredient ratios for sweet quick breads.
We taste and rate the results.
I also gave a few recipes extra points for nuts and chocolate chips (That's totally fair).
The resulting standard banana bread is soft, fragrant with bananas and has just a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. It doesn't require any distinctive ingredients or fancy supplies and it allows room for further adaptation. It's adapted from a recipe by Tyler Florence and upon testing three times, has never done me any wrong, despite my inquisitive nature. It works no matter if I add one or two small handfuls of chocolate chips or a dash of chopped mixed nuts. It even works when I let Max measure my flour (use discretion there, though, I did help a little).
It works wonderfully every single time and it will always be delicious with unfailing certainty, which is all I ask of a banana bread recipe.
Banana Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 (very) ripe bananas
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nuts or chocolate chips for topping
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
- Place oven rack in top third of oven and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease, or spray with cooking spray, a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl mash 2 bananas with a fork and set aside.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl), add remaining bananas and sugar. Whip bananas and sugar together using an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk for at least three minutes. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla, and cinnamon, mixing after each addition, scraping down sides as needed.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in three additions, gently mixing until just combined after each addition.
- Fold in fork-mashed bananas, gently but evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Note: Serve slices lightly toasted and warm with a dusting of confectioners' sugar

I've been approached by a few small builders recently about "endorsing" their products - guitars, amps, effects, cables, etc...
What kind of deals do you all work with the
artist(s)? What is expected of the artist(s)? I
NEVER expect anything for free and I know
in these times, everyone's in a tight spot
financially. Just curious as to how you all
handle those situations if you do...???
John Page: Having worked at Fender for 21
years I've had lots of experience with AR
dealing. A lot of people think that we just
gave stuff away left and right, it just wasn't
the case. Although we would give product away from time to time, most artists
paid for their product, but at a discount.
With my new small company I've been
approached by several artists regarding
endorsement deals. Most asking for free
product in exchange for "lots of exposure."
I can't afford to give product away so I
counter offer with them buying the guitar
for full price but I would give them free tee
shirts... woo hoo, eh?
Not quite on the level of Mr. Page but I
do indeed get the requests for free gear.
My size does not allow that as there is
lower volume which cannot support this.
However, I do do artist pricing depending on the exposure that it can/will create.
Many of the requests are bands or players
that I have never heard of so I am reluctant
to give any discount. It simply just depends
on the artist. My side of the equation is
feedback and or/review and actually playing it in on stage (novel thought huh?). It is
that simple. I have no real formal plan, just
a handshake and a gentleman's/woman's
agreement. I try to keep everything as simple and straight forward as possible.
Everything I've read in this thread so far
is true. We get a lot of inquiries about
"endorsements" from "artists;" most of
them we've never heard of. When we reply
with our standard answer that "no one gets
a free guitar" suddenly they don't write
us anymore. Most of the time they're just
fishing and seeing who's hungry enough to
bite the bait. But, we have several guitars
on tour with Top 10 Country artists and
more on the way. The better-known players are easier to deal with. Good luck to
other small builders and beware of the
midnight e-mail from an "artist" wanting a
free guitar.
Dave Coke:
For me, a more significant sponsorship
like that has to start with a natural match
between the player and the guitar. I have
no interest in forcing someone to use a
guitar on recordings or in live performances
if they don't feel like it. If they love what
the guitar does for them, they'll play it
and hopefully get some inspiration from it
and people will hear that inspiration coming through. That's the kind of exposure
I'm hoping for. That also implies a kind of
relationship that has to build over time, and
that's also my hope when I discuss sponsorships with artists.

quick news! uloader CAN backup and play from a WBSF usb, that no other loaders see! but only from port1 (hack settings) so... maybe my port0 has problems? can I hack the dol/elf from CFGLoader or GX to see port1? also why the backup from uloader works but backup from "wbfs manager 3" is still invisible from uloader?
nothing it is solved can cfgloader or GX load from port1? I susspect there is problem with my port0 and do not sees games. (neither uloader sees my usb on port0)
Nope, they can't.
I followed this guide as far as Forwarder Channel Installation/HBC and im lost.Can anyone give me direct instruction via email ?Yes im a newby but ive managed to get homebrew up and running and after having intial problems with an eroor when trying trying to load up channels its working fine( i had to install dopmii and update shopping channel)I now want to back up all the games my daughter has to hard drive and use through homebrew.I formatted a seagate 160gb 2.5 inch drive as this guide but im confused about the Configurable USB Loader v65 and WiiFlow2.1a2.Do i need them both or are they options to choose from.Im also confused about the cios im using(im running homebrew 4.3e installed via letterbomb if that makes a difference) ?I have an SD card in my wii with apps on but im also confused if i put the forwarder on the SD card OR the Hard Drive i just formatted.I read and installed WBFS Manager thinking i need that ?Im really sorry to sound so dumb but having seen what homebrew can do through this site i really want to be able to use it to its full potential.One other thing i cant use my wii's disk drive its died so i need to be able to get the games we have onto the newly formatted drive if its possible.All i want is for my daughter to be able to load homebrew up and select a channel that has her games on.help !!thanksAndy
I am in the process of readying my HDD to load disc-based Wii games and also WiiWare and VC games. As I understand it the NAND emulation needed for the WiiWare and VC games excludes using the HDD with NTFS. I am thinking of using Mighty Channels (although that seems like a bear to set up for the neophyte) for NAND emulation; although I may use something else for that. If this is the case what would be a good way to partition it, if I need to do so? What size partitions should I use, which type, and why? I am using a WD 500GB Passport. I intend to use WiiFlow from the SD card. I believe I would like to use the HDD simply for game storage. Please feel free to chime in here with recommendations for or against any of my plans. I would like to post a syscheck or dop-mii report but it appears to hang on both of them at IOS 4. Thanks!
I am wondering if I need to do a dual partition (FAT32 and NTFS) in order to play games that are > 4GB (SSBB & Metroid Prime Trilogy). If so, can someone direct me to how I do this. If not, great!; but how do I do it with a single FAT32 partition? I previously ran my external HDD on WFBS, but as I understand it now, this is impossible for NAND emulation. Thanks!
to play games on fat32 that are over 4gb the usb loader will split it for you when you rip your original disc to the hdd, if not that way you need to use a game manager to split the game

Woman Dies After Getting Hit by Two Different Vehicles on North Broadway
Categories: News
|Renota Jones got hit first by a pickup, then an SUV
Yesterday, a 22-year-old black female named Renota Jones was standing in the middle of the street on the 8300 block of North Broadway in the Baden neighborhood, according to the city cops.
At about 5:19 p.m., a southbound Ford F-150 pickup truck smashed into her.
The collision knocked her into the northbound lanes.
Then, while in the northbound lanes, she was hit again, this time by a Chevy Trailblazer SUV.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jones' listed address was on the 2600 block of Expo.
That's all the details the police have released so far. The investigation, they say, is ongoing.

A number of my readers have been in touch over the past few weeks asking why I don't post as frequently as I used to. (And yes, one of those readers was my Mom.) In no way should my infrequent posting since the summer be taken as a lack of interest in the Hopkins Insider blog. In fact, I have so many "in draft" posts that once my schedule relaxes a bit I will be able to post on a more than a once a week basis.
As my regular readers can attest to, one of the common themes of the Insider blog has been how busy the life of a College Admissions Counselor can be. Well, I have reached a whole new level of being busy … so much so that I am getting less sleep each night than back in my college days (when all-nighters and procrastination were the norm). Now my dreams have become all screwy. Last night, I dreamt about a high school friend I haven't seen in 13 years, Damien. (Yeah I think Damien = Devil's son is a key to his unusual appearance in this dream.) Well Damien and I were walking in a dark alley in, I think New York City, when we realized we were being followed by penguins. (Penguins because I watched March of the Penguins last night.) So we go inside this open door and now we are in one of those stores where you get to paint your own pottery. (Have no idea where that comes from.) The store is filled with high school aged students, and guess what — Damien lets them all know I work for Hopkins and I review college applications. As you can imagine, the dream now becomes a nightmare. Students start coming up to me with their pottery, asking for advice and also my signature (I guess I was a celebrity sort of). The dream ended thankfully when Carlos Delgado of the Mets (Let's Go Mets!) came up to me and started asking in-depth questions about Med school acceptance rates. I am scared to go to sleep tonight.
What is creating these nightmares and keeping me so busy you ask? Well, the re-launch of Hopkins Interactive for one (see the P.S. below). Also, I am working with the Whiting School of Engineering on a unique marketing campaign to reach prospective Engineering students (more to follow in November). Add to that, tons of web revisions the past few months and preparation for two Open Houses in the coming weeks. And oh yeah, although it feels like I just returned from two weeks of travel, it is time for me to head back to New England for another week (10-22 through 10-27)(see Group Travel events). Truly, no rest for the weary –but I wouldn't trade this job for anything.
Despite the hectic schedule, earlier this month I did get to spend four days in Pittsburgh at the NACAC (National Association for College Admissions Counseling) National Conference. This was my 5th national conference, having previously attended events in Long Beach, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C., and Milwaukee. Next year is Austin, then Seattle, and then the conference will come to Baltimore in 2009 which will be quite cool. The NACAC National Conference is a unique event where admissions counselors representing colleges and universities from around the world join high school college/guidance counselors. We discuss all types of issues surrounding the college search process and definitely address current events and trends in the realm of college admissions. It is a time when higher education professionals from both sides of the desk get to look at the big picture, share thoughts, and contemplate the future. (OK, honestly, it is also a great social event.)
Sounds interesting, right? Well, here is a run down of what I did during my four days in the 'Burgh:
- Arrival: The drive from B'more to the 'Burgh was lovely until I arrived in Pittsburgh and could not get to the Convention Center. Yes, I knew where the center was and could see the entire time I was in the city, but for an hour I could not get there. After going over my 7th bridge, I took an illegal left turn and voila, I was in the parking garage. One hour wasted, and the opening session missed. Things though got much better after that…
- Session A: After registering, getting a very cool bag (once of the best perks of attending conferences), and chatting with a few friends, I headed to my first session — A Time to Talk Technology. I always like to attend a few sessions that deal with new technologies in the college admissions recruitment and marketing field, and this first session did not disappoint. The discussion focused on issues of Facebook, College Confidential, and "uncensored" web guides. As well, we got to "swap strategies" and I learned more about RSS feeds and how others schools are using blogs, message boards, chats, video, etc. Finally, this was a time for the college counselors in the room to remind us admissions counselors that they don't love technology so much!!!
- Evening #1: I took it easy the first night, had dinner with some friends, watched my Mets, caught up on some TV (love my Tivo and love my Slingbox), and then got a good night sleep.
- Day Two – Counselor's College Fair: One of the highlights of the conference started at 8:00am on Friday. Normally I don't enjoy two and a half hour college fairs, but this was no normal college fair. Imagine 400+ colleges and universities in alphabetical order lined up in an exhibit hall. Then imagine that the attendees of this fair are not high school students but rather 1000+ high school guidance / college counselors. Clearly not a normal college fair. Basically, the premise is the high school counselors get to meet with the admissions counselors and get updates and ask questions. As well, this is a time to talk about potential applicants and make contacts. Being that I am one of the Admissions counselors who enjoys working with guidance counselors, this is something I look forward to at each conference. This year did not disappoint as the time flew by and I also got to spend 2+ hours with my boss, Dr. John Latting.
- Session B: Next up was my second session and I decided to not do a tech topic but rather check out Through the Eyes of a High School Student. This session was promoted as a chance to speak with actual high school students — "a student panel discusses and answers audience questions about what admission professionals do and if they really help high school students through the college search and decision process." An interesting idea – Yes. A helpful session – NO. I love focus groups with high school students, but for them to be effective the students selected need to have experiences that represent the typical high school student. This is where the session failed. First panelist – a freshman in college whose college search was for a local art school … she applied to one school which she knew she would be admitted to. Second panelist – another freshman in college who applied to two local community colleges only. Third panelist – a high school senior who was only considering local colleges. Fourth panelist – a high school senior whose entire college search was based on what Division I Swimming program was going to recruit him. Final panelist – a high school senior doing a national college search. So, all in all, of the five panelists only one of them was "typical" and the kind of student I wanted to hear from. To add to the disappointment of the session this one "interesting" panelists spoke the least. Also, no time was given for audience questions. I left having pretty much wasted an hour, but knowing a lot more about how it is to be a recruited Division I swimmer. Oy vei.
- Lunch: After that disappointing session it was time to have a good lunch. And where do you lunch in Pittsburgh — well clearly Primanti Brothers. Oh yeah!!!
- Session C: Next up was the second highlight of the conference – Back from the Abyss: Promoting Purpose, Values, and Ethics in Postsecondary Education. Maybe not the best session title ever, but it was the main presenter that was the draw for me — Lloyd Thacker of the Education Conservancy. Over the past few months I have mentioned Thacker and his book College Unranked and how intrigued I have become on the ideas discussed. So this was the session I was most looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. I will not comment much here as I continue to work on a "Thacker post" for the near future. What I will say is that as I walked out of the session I felt inspired and passionate that part of my work in my second decade in this profession will be towards helping reintroduce ethics, values, and purpose back into admissions practices. (Wow, that was a bit over-stated, but in fact that is how I felt after leaving the session and still feel today.)
- D Session: Time for a second tech session. As interesting as the first, but now as I think back I can't sort out in my mind which ideas, topics were discussed in the A or D sessions. Oh well, not a big deal as I have a ton of notes and a lot of new ideas for the coming months and year.
- Keynote Speaker #1: Time to head into the Ballroom to hear from one of the conference's main speakers – Jonathan Kozol. Wow!!! I read Savage Inequalities back in college and I am about half way through The Shame of the Nation, so as I sat down I was already familiar with Kozol and his ideas. I must say one hour later I was both inspired and saddened. Inspired that there is a man like Kozol that has seen so much and still can have an amazing sense of humor. Saddened because the state of education in inner cities is so horrific. Take same time, read these books!!! This was truly a powerful and "eye-opening" session that some time later I am still thinking about.
- Evening #2: Can't really blog about this…
- Day Three – Session F: Highlight #3. The Blog Revolution: Admission Officer Blogs. After sleeping in (it was needed), I headed over to the convention center to do what I came to Pittsburgh to do — PRESENT. Yes, instead of sitting in the audience during a session, now I got to be on stage. For the session I was joined by Matt McGann of MIT, Ben Jones of MIT, and Emily Roper formerly of Olin College of Engineering but now of Tufts University, all Admissions bloggers like myself. The session was the four of us sharing our experiences with Admissions blogging, and providing our audience reasons for using blogs along with advice and suggestions from our personal experiences. This was one of the best experiences of my career to date, and proved to me that what I have been doing with the Hopkins Insider blog and Hopkins Interactive is the right direction to go. Woo hoo!
- Keynote Speakers #2: I must say that walked into this final session not expecting much. It was promoted as Neil Howe and William Strauss talking about how events such as September 11th and Katrina have impacted student and parent behavior and expectations – "an experience to remember." Though interesting, after the Kozol event the day before I was looking for something a bit more uplifting. Well thankfully Howe and Strauss delivered with an amazing discussion on generations. They spoke about Baby Boomers (my parents), Generation Xers (that's me), and Millenials (that is most of you), and what characteristics and behaviors are expected from people from these various generations. And then they related this all to the college experience. My favorite part of the discussion was how today's parents of college-aged children are Baby Boomer parents and they can be described as "Helicopter Parents". Well in the nest few years, college-aged children will more likely have parents from Generation X, and these parents will become "Stealth Fighter Parents." Ha Ha Ha — OH NO! Check out this Wikipedia entry for more.
- Evening #3: Typically the conference ends with my attendance at the Conference social. But this time, a friend actually invited a group of us to see the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Detroit Red Wings. Yes, that is hockey! Besides being a huge Mets and baseball fan, I also love me some hockey — so I jumped at the opportunity. A good game overall with the Red Wings getting the shutout 2-0. You got to love a hockey game played in an Igloo. And oh yeah, Pittsburgh fans are crazy!!!
I hope you all have enjoyed my trek through my NACAC experiences. Feel free to use the comments with any questions or if you just want to tell me what you think of Season #3 of LOST so far.
Until next time…Cheers!
P.S. In my last couple of entries I have alluded to something happening on 10.16.06. Well, something is coming, but it is not coming on 10.16.06. Obviously, I am talking about the re-launch of Hopkins Interactive. There is a lot more involved then originally projected, so we have postponed the launch until we are positive everything is set to go properly. I hope just a one week delay, but it could be end of the month. Stay tuned — the new site will be AWESOME!

Altvater: Woods wins WGC-Bridgestone for eighth timeWritten by Fred Altvater | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Tiger Woods continued to show the world that he can still dominate a golf tournament. He had won World Golf Championships held at Firestone Country Club on seven different occasions and he cruised to his eighth win in Akron on Sunday (Aug. 4).
Obviously Woods finds something at Firestone that adds confidence to his game. Trees frame the fairways and provide sight lines to work his ball. He is able to freely shape his drives through the doglegs and find fairways.
His past wins have also included much success on the greens which makes putting the undulating greens at Firestone an easier task.
Over the four rounds at Firestone this week, he had one eagle, 19 birdies, 46 pars and six bogeys. He finished ranked sixth in driving distance, averaging 315 yards off the tee and found 66 percent of the fairways.
Long accurate drives allow short wedges into the greens that set up birdie opportunities.
His nine-under-par bogey-free 61 in the second round on Friday included one eagle and seven birdies. It got him to 13-under par for the two rounds and gave him a very comfortable lead heading into the weekend.
Woods found only one bunker all week and managed to get that up and down for a save. He putted magnificently all four rounds, finishing with 1.679 putts per green-in-regulation and in his spectacular 61 on Friday, he averaged 1.385 putts. He also led the field with 4.623 strokes-gained-putting in the second round on Friday.
Just like the Tiger of old, everyone else in the field was playing for second place when he started the final round on Sunday with a seven-shot lead over Henrik Stenson.
Jason Dufner was eight shots behind and Luke Donald, Bill Haas and Chris Wood were nine back after the third round.
Stenson has been playing much better of late, but only managed an even-par 70 while paired with Woods on Sunday. Dufner, Donald, Haas and Wood, all posted one-over-par 71.
WGC-Bridgestone defending champion, Keegan Bradley made a move up the leaderboard on Sunday with a three-under par 67 and finished tied with Stenson for runner-up.
Another player who has struggled over the past two years, Martin Kaymer, made the biggest move of the day on Sunday by firing a four-under par 66 and finishing T-9.
Former world No. 1 Luke Donald continued his string of poor performances with a final round two-over-par 72 that dropped him down to T-9.
This is Woods' fifth PGA Tour win of 2013. It boosts his total earnings for the year to $7.6 million. It is also his 79th career win and he trails Sam Snead by just three titles for the all time wins lead.
He leads the 2013 FedEx Cup standings by nearly 800 points over Matt Kuchar and increased his lead in the Official World Golf Rankings over No. 2 Phil Mickelson.
The WGC-Bridgestone was the perfect tune-up for Woods heading into the PGA Championship this week at Oak Hill in Rochester, N.Y.
Both Firestone and Oak Hill are similar with old-style tree lined and rolling fairways.
Tiger is bringing a ton of confidence to the PGA Championship and desperately wants to get back to winning major championships.

Crytek have detailed the new MP modes in the following trailer.
I played the PC MP demo last month and came away very impressed with the Hunter Mode, it was certainly a lot of fun.
The game on PC looks notably better now, there's no overall parity with the 360 as far as the visuals concerned. I tried to get some info on the specs from some of the Nvidia guys that were meandering around, but they told me not to expect them until sometime in late November - early December. I also asked what specs the PC demo build was running on, but again they wouldn't say. I also couldn't tell from sneaking a peak in the backroom and looking at the PC cases, but at least I nabbed a T-shirt while there :P

Clearing up Mother Nature's mess
Posted: January 23, 2014|
THE clear-up operation following the recent storms is continuing and there is still danger for people venturing out on cliff paths around our coastline.
Although little serious damage to property has been recorded, the ferocity of the sea hitting the coastline has meant Cornwall Council has been busy ensuring the public are not at risk.
At Hayle, an urgent warning has been issued asking the public to stay away from large sand cliffs which the storm has created.
A large section of sand has been removed at Gwithian Towans leaving behind a significant drop in the shoreline which Cornwall Council said could collapse at any moment.
A spokesman for the council said: "Children have been seen burrowing into the side of the new 'cliff of sand' at Gwithian – which is extremely dangerous as the sand could fall at any moment.
"Please be careful near the edge where sand has been taken away by storms, and in particular do not sit below or play near a sand cliff."
Howard Lyons, chairman of Save our Sands and town councillor, said sand cliffs often form along the lengths of Hayle Towans following extreme weather.
"There are big bits that have been washed away but I don't think it's abnormal. A lot of the beach is inaccessible because of sand levels at the present time," added Mr Lyons.
High seas have created a similar situation in Marazion.
Cornwall Council said it is currently monitoring the beaches but is urging people to be aware of the dangers.
On Penzance promenade, Cormac workmen have been busy restoring large granite boulders to their rightful place after being dislodged by the power of the waves.
And in St Ives, there has been an operation on Porthmeor beach to reduce the level of the sand which has risen considerably and which poses extra hazards to the properties which adjoin the beach.

Naga (Ashan)
this wiki
Nagas are reptilian humanoids living in a mystical and military feudal culture on the island kingdom of Hashima in the world of Ashan. They worship the Dragon of Water, Shalassa.
The Naga history is mostly unknown to the rest of the world.
The Nagas are living under military feudal government in the Lotus Empire, which contains vast underwater realms as well as islands, like the island of Hashima. The supreme ruler of Hashima and all Nagas is the Eternal Empress. Several Daimyos serve under her.
They are equally at home on land and in the sea, though they move faster in the water. Viewing their time upon Ashan as fleeting and illusory, they strive for perfection in their behaviour and skills. The ideals of purity, simplicity, and harmony are reflected in their magic, their warfare, and their life philosophy.
Nagas are masters of the "quiet" magic sphere of Water, that renders the body and the mind as malleable as a liquid. They place much store in wisdom and in study. For this reason, their magic tends to work overtime and build gradually to a smashing crescendo. Attack spells may echo the effects of tidal waves or hurricanes; blessings permit the troops to attack in unstoppable waves; curses leave the enemy slowed and off balanced.
Heroes V plansEdit
The Nagas were, at one stage, planned to appear in the Academy, but were replaced by Rakshasas when it was decided to develop them as a focal race. Concept art for their prospective town, the Sanctuary, exists, and several unused models were left over in the data files, but they are not present in the game itself. They are also portrayed in concept art appearing in Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms. They appear as a playable race in Might and Magic: Heroes VI.

Fumes: Talkin' About My Generation (and Cars)
Posted 28 February 2012 - 03:00 PM
28th February, 2012
It's now official; the majority of my generation — Generation Y — has a deep-rooted dislike for the automobile. Unlike our parents from the Baby Boomer and Generation X age brackets, we no longer associate cars with our own independence. Instead, smartphones and laptops have become symbols of autonomy in my generation.
I'll admit that it didn't exactly make sense to me when I first caught wind of it.
I'm a ripe 21 years-old, which almost puts me smack dab in the middle of Generation Y, and I personally love cars. It's always been that way since I discovered the ability to talk and walk. As a boy, I grew up flipping through old issues of Car and Driver and admiring photos of all the sheetmetal; I grew up traveling 70 miles one way between home and relatives about once every month. I grew up hanging out before and after school in the Chrysler service department where my mother once worked before the dealer was shut down for warranty fraud; I also grew up looking forward to my sixteenth birthday and getting my driver's permit I also love driving, especially when I have an open stretch of road mostly to myself.
I know it sounds like I'm just another massive petrol head, and that may be so. I'll certainly never deny it. What I couldn't understand was how I suddenly became a generational oddity overnight, someone who still viewed the car as one of the few ultimate forms of personal liberation.
Along with the initial confusion came worry as well. There are around 76 million people that make up my generation, about three times the size of the preceding Generation X and pretty much the same size as the Baby Boomer generation. We make up a fourth of the U.S. population. The thought of well over half of my generation in total discord with the automobile could effectively mean that my hopes of a career in auto journalism would all be for naught. After all, our time as the leading generation is rapidly approaching and when the majority of the leading generation doesn't bother with cars, that means no one will want to read or hear about them. That means I might as well hang it up.
This news bothered me so much that, for the first time in a little while, I had to really sit down and examine the bigger picture, think in a new context. How did we go from personal transportation all the way down to personal electronics?

This tends to tell me that Big Brother has won in telling you where to live, what to do, what to see and generally how to live life when people are not willing to get out and see the world.
The experiance of seeing the world in person cannot and never will be made up from being in front of a computer.

I'd like to ask that the individual who handed that to me come forward and intelligently discuss with me why they disagreed with the article. You know who you are. Please, don't hide behind the ratings system.
With that said, thanks Camino, dave, and dfelt for the nice comments. I poured quite a bit of effort into this editorial and it really means a lot.
Very interesting points made, It is sad to see people think they have freedom being on a phone or computer and not getting out to see this amazing planet we live on. Sad commentary of the Y Generation.

Interesting commentary.
However, I wouldn't say that we "think [we] have freedom being on a phone or computer." That really isn't the case.

I've advocated a 'MinimalistKar' on here before. Not that that is specifically what's targeted here, but the end result is pretty much the same; not EVERYTHING needs 10 airbags, 20 electronic nannies and 30 miles of wiring.
IMO, the only real way around this is to UNBUNDLE equipment/ options/ packages, so many models start affordably (& lightweight), and allow those Gen Ys to get in affordably on the ground floor. Make as many of the options 'plug-in' as possible, or at least user-friendly to add on and you start reeling them in again.

Now if the USA could reduce safety standards to 1980 levels, then $10,000 is no longer nearly impossible without the large sacrifices made from driving. I do not see anyone pining for a $10,000 Chevy Spark, but there are a lot more (desirable) Mini Coopers running around where I live. Those Coopers are seldom below $25,000.
Balthazar's idea is sound, but that might bring a $25,000 car to $18,000. Ideally, an automaker would build a new $8000 stripper and then add features individually to bring it to $10,000. Now, who can make it profitable?

When people show off their new cars these days, it's not about how powerful it is or how fun it is to drive or customize, it's all about what you can do with the car, like heat/cool your hands on the steering wheel or hook up your phone to the sound system.
I agree strongly on the idea of a minimalist car. If GM needs a template to follow, look no further than the 1955-57 fullsized Chevrolets. They had attention getting styling for the time. They were dirt cheap, but could be optioned up eleventybillion differernt ways. They were infinitely customizable.
Heck, while I'm on the Bel Air kick, what about something along the lines of the Bel Air concept from a few years back? Not the exact car, but maybe take that idea and stretch it over the new Colorado frame.

I think dfelt is focusing too much on the generation itself, and not the issue at hand here. While he does have the right to his opinion (and I can respect that), I'm really digging the insight in the article.
Besides, it's hard to hit one generation when it is a problem for society in general (put down the damn phone! lol)
Yes I am focused on the generation itself, I read this once and went to lunch and instead of going with coworkers, I went by myself so that I could just sit and observe.
I notice that the older you are, the less you are mesing with electronics and the more social you are with people around you. Being in a very Hi-Tech city of Seattle. I could not help but notice the large amount of 20 something people in groups, but all would have a few words to each other and most of the time on their smartphones.
Due to myself being crazy about auto's and loving road trips which my parents did most weekends growing up so that we could see the state of washington and learn about the world we live in, I had not really paid much attention to other young adults as m own kids grew up and while my son and daughter do not care much about the over all auto, they both require 4x4 / awd cuv's so that they can go camping, up the mountain to snowboard and live for the most part a very active life style due to how my wife and I kept them busy.
Friday to sunday my daughter is out with her friends doing things and my son 7 days a week is always out after work. He put more miles on the Dodge Dakota I gave him that I bought new. I turned it over at 76K miles and now it has 212K miles.
My other observation of the Y generation is that the more plugged in they are, the more over weight they seem to be. Not everyone, but thee does seem to be a corrolation about out living life as an active life style and being sedetary on your computer or phone plugged in.
I think it needs to come from the 30, 40's and 50's generation to get the 20's out of their comfort zone and see the world. Auto's are a freedom machine.
The Auto Industry can benefit by doing as Balthazar said. Unbundle these fully loaded Auto's and get back to a basic simple auto for transportation.

Well said.
I've advocated a 'MinimalistKar' on here before. Not that that is specifically what's targeted here, but the end result is pretty much the same; not EVERYTHING needs 10 airbags, 20 electronic nannies and 30 miles of wiring.
IMO, the only real way around this is to UNBUNDLE equipment/ options/ packages, so many models start affordably (& lightweight), and allow those Gen Ys to get in affordably on the ground floor. Make as many of the options 'plug-in' as possible, or at least user-friendly to add on and you start reeling them in again.
I totally agree, I have been working with my son for his first new car purchase and he finally got it down to the following 3 CUV's
Ford Escape
Jeep Compass
Chevy Equinox
Now all were right around 22K MSRP for your basic AWD, 4 banger motor, etc.
We were looking last night on the web pages again and noticed all 3 had a considerable bump in price with the Chevy being the most expensive. They now only have 2 options on the base Equinox AWD LS and it now starts at 25. The variety of options is now gone and they seem to have gone to here is our 6 versions, 3 levels of FWD and 3 levels of AWD. Select which one you want and decide if you want the Protection package or towing package and the rest is standard equipment.
Not truly having a base stripped down level for people to buy will keep people from buying.
As much as I hate Toyota, I will give them credit that the Scion way of buying the base car stripped and adding what you want would be a very good thing for the US auto Makers to take to heart.
My Son would love to buy a base high milage AWD CUV and add to the auto as he makes money. Purchase a NAV unit down the road, add other features.
I think the First maker to take the base way of Cars but do it on more then just econo boxs will find a very willing and excited market of buyers.
Think of this lineup:
Base small size truck 2wd and 4x4
Small AWD CUV
Small 4 door car
They all come in with the only difference being 2 or 3 engine choices. Then they have a consistent base interior and you can then purchase 3rd part items to customize the inerior.
I do not believe it is law that you have to have all these air bags and nanny devices. So the cost of these auto's would be low and allow people to truly customize their ride as a first auto and as they made money, they could come back and purchase modules to install into their auto.

It's why Scion hasn't set a fire under the ass of every 21 year-old out there. Sure, the buying concept is bang on, but it doesn't amount to much when you build cars that look and behave like cardboard boxes with doughnuts for tires.
Just because you charge $14,000 large for a car doesn't mean it has to be something stupid and disposable.
While writing up my assessments of the Chevrolet Code130R, Chevy Tru140S, Dodge Razor, and Dodge M80 concept cars, I kept thinking back to the very first Mustang the entire time. That car had such a great formula. You could buy a good looking, decent driving, lightweight car for a small amount of money, and if you wanted more options that better suited your needs, you could buy them from the factory piece by piece for bargain prices. The fact it was based around the compact Falcon and a bunch of shared parts made it the right size, cheap to mend, and proven.
Our generation absolutely needs a garden variety of cars like the Mustang and other pony cars were to the Baby Boomers.

I could see something about the size of the Mini 4 door and 2 door with FWD and the performance version being AWD but with a modular interior that would allow you to upgrade and add to your auto so customize it with your personality.
I agree that the very basic entry level auto out there are TURDS!

The $10K car gets farther and farther away with every new law. Airbags required. ABS required. Intelligent Airbags required. TC required. Now there was an article on Jalopnik that rear facing cameras will be required starting in 2014... http://jalopnik.com/...-every-cars-ass ...which requires a screen and other upgrades.
Sweetmercifulcrap- why???
I can heat Camino's 'voice' right now saying 'See how Gov't sucks the joy right out of a situation?' and he'd be dead right.
And this is exactly why a 2015 M80 would never come close to 2500 lbs. A mini weighs over 2500 and it's almost 2-ft shorter & FWD.

Lila Warwick
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder in the slaying of a 79-year-old church volunteer and great-grandmother who was found dead earlier this week in her Willmar home, authorities said Thursday.
Kandiyohi County Sheriff Dan Hartog also said preliminary autopsy results show Lila Warwick had multiple stab wounds and neck injuries that were consistent with strangling.
Warwick, who lived alone, was found Monday after authorities went to her home to check on her welfare.
Hartog said a 17-year-old boy was arrested Thursday around 1:15 p.m. in connection with the homicide of Warwick.
This comes after a 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were arrested late Wednesday on suspicion of murder and burglary.
All three suspects are from Willmar. Hartog said the 19-year-old could be charged Friday morning.
Warwick was a volunteer at Redeemer Lutheran Church, where she helped with office duties and vacation Bible school. Deputies went to her house Monday after someone from the church requested a welfare check.
Warwick had eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Gear Review
Best headset I've used! Awesome highs, true mids and thunderous lows make this an impressive yet good looking headset. With a sister with Beats, a dad with Bose headphones and a close friend with sennheisers, this has to be the cheapest and best sounding of the lot.
I would recommend this to a friend.

Fort Wayne Community Schools on Monday began its budget process for 2013, with Chief Financial Officer Kathy Friend delivering to the board a crisp, detailed presentation of the district's fiscal planning.
The board will be asked to approve a budget totaling more than $288 million, though Friend emphasized the district will likely spend close to $279 million. The latter figure is more than $13.6 million more than the district's budget in 2012 and will result in a higher tax levy that will generate nearly $6.8 million, according to the district.
Friend explained that the funding formula for the general fund, which is projected to be about $208 million of the 2013 budget, is due to expire in midyear 2013. The district could have to make adjustments, depending on the next set of standards adopted by the state legislature. Friend detailed that the general fund's $208 million is made up of nearly $139 million in salary and wages, roughly $47 million in fringe benefits, around $15 million in purchasing services and the rest in miscellaneous expenses.
The rest of the budget has funding for capital projects, racial balance, transportation operations and bus replacement, debt service and a pension bond, and a line item for the Museum of Art.
Public hearings about the budget, the capital projects fund and the bus replacement fund will be held Oct. 8, while the board is scheduled to potentially approve the budget Oct. 22.
Board extends bonus payment deadline
The board agreed to extend by 60 days the time period to establish Superintendent Wendy Robinson's potential bonus payment, citing a delay in receiving required data from the state Department of Education.
According to the district, Robinson's compensation package is to be decided within 90 days from the end of the previous school year; that date would be Friday. The extension moves the deadline to Nov. 27. Nearly one year ago, Robinson was awarded a $15,000 bonus and had her salary increased by $5,500 – from $174,500 to $180,000 – while also receiving an annuity of $20,000.
Also: The district announced the hirings of two administrators, with Thomas Harris being named director of human resources and Beth Ann Gibson being named capital projects coordinator.
Harris, also a member of Allen County Council, replaces David Richards. He starts Oct. 1.
Gibson's duties will include oversight of the $119 million building project, approved by referendum earlier this year.

As a group known for keeping their personal lives close to the vest, it was a true treat to have Kings of Leon open up to our VH1 cameras last night in Franklin, Tennessee. Privy to an intimate performance that revealed the band's versatile character, the audience did NOT want to sit down, and trust us when we tell you that this taped show —which will kick off an incredible 15th season of Storytellers on May 13th— is one that we're extremely proud to eventually share! Even if he was a smidge nervous at the onset, frontman Caleb Followill led the Kings' charge, discussing topics that spanned their early days as a group, his often-intoxicated songwriting process, succumbing to wearing tight pants they once found foolish, and their … wait for it – ¦ sexuality.
– This is our dream and we want to do this forever, – remarked Caleb as he ventured down memory lane, literally quoting his own thoughts from years earlier. In the music business for over a decade now, the close-knit group (comprised of brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared, along with cousin Matthew) has achieved a level of success that they admit once daunted them. Forced to ignore fears of surrendering their cherished solitude to the masses, the Followills continued to make music that they felt defined them. Now on the other side of fame, the humble rockers actively nod at their beloved Southern roots, and during our Storytellers shoot, showed appreciation for fans that believed in them from the beginning, and for the Nashville community where they call home.
Disclosing out-of-the-box musical influences and some more private moments that inspired their songs, Caleb spoke to KOL's nooks and crannies, all while showcasing a combination of snarky wit, endless charm and unique sincerity. But don't look to us for spoilers, y'all! You'll have to tune-in on May 13 to see the stories' details for yourself! "They're gonna edit all this awkward sh*t out, – Caleb assured the audience, unaware that it was the subtle nuances and endearing hiccups that crowned the performance, showing us that, as much as they may fight it, maybe these kings are indeed human after all. And that's exactly what we wanted to see.
—Lacey Seidman
Set List*: Sex on Fire / Radioactive / Crawl / Taper Jean Girl / Molly's Chambers / Fans / California Waiting / Immortals / Back Down South / Use Somebody / Knocked Up / Slow Night, So Long
*We're not sure if this set list will be exactly the same when this episode of Storytellers airs, but this is what they played last night.

Looking for a new car? How about the Tesla Model S sedan?
Motor trend magazine has named the Tesla Model S its 2013 car of the year.
Magazine editors praised the car for its performance, style and its long lasting batteries. Despite its accolades, price and production will limit just how many of the sedans you'll see on the road.
The company hopes to deliver only 20,000 2013 model cars next year with a starting price of nearly $59,000.
