Wynford 68, Carey 63 (2OT)
CAREY -- Wynford made a long weekend even longer, but not as long as it could have been. The Royals went two overtimes at Carey one night after going three extra sessions in a loss. Wynford defeated the Blue Devils, 68-63, to get back on the winning track.
The Royals are now 4-3 overall.
"We sealed it on the free throw line, finally, tonight," Wynford coach Tim Ehresman said. "That was good."
The Royals were 21 of 27 at the line while the Blue Devils made good on four of 10.
Wynford almost didn't get a chance at the second overtime.
"In the first overtime we were up three and they come down and hit a 3 with two-point something to go," Ehresman said.
After a timeout, Wynford couldn't get the ball inbounded and was whistled for a foul when Carey did. The Blue Devils missed the front end of a one-and-one, giving the Royals new life in the second overtime.
John Shifley led the Royals with 25 points and 10 field goals. Chad Snyder added nine and Preston Eibling came off the bench to score six.
"They couldn't stop us in the post," Ehresman said. "That's how we got back in it."

"SEVERE: caught throwable java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation" when using Metro Maven plugin. Please help me.January 11, 2012 - 23:22
I have been trying out the https://svn.java.net/svn/jax-ws-commons~svn/trunk/jaxws-maven-plugin/src/it/wsgen and https://svn.java.net/svn/jax-ws-commons~svn/trunk/jaxws-maven-plugin/src/it/wsimport/url sample projects, but to no complete success. The wsgen project can be successfully compiled and "mvn jetty:run". I could even access the http://localhost:9090/helloworld?wsdl page correctly and use the wsimport project to generate client stub code. However, when I tried to test with a really simple web service call, the server side returned HTTP 500 error and threw the following exception.
Jan 11, 2012 11:55:57 PM com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletDelegate doGet
SEVERE: caught throwable
java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving overridden method "com.sun.xml.ws.message.AttachmentUnmarshallerImpl.getAttachmentAsDataHandler(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/activation/DataHandler;" the class loader (instance of org/mortbay/jetty/webapp/WebAppClassLoader) of the current class, com/sun/xml/ws/message/AttachmentUnmarshallerImpl, and its superclass loader (instance of <bootloader>), have different Class objects for the type javax/activation/DataHandler used in the signature
The following is the method of the simple web service call that I coded.
public class TestClientStub {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HelloWorldService service = new HelloWorldService();
String result = service.getHelloWorldPort().helloWorld("Yeah!");
wsgen and wsimport-url are the two Maven projects I checked out from javanet. I only made minor modifications to them, i.e. changing "jaxws.plugin.version" setting in the pom file from 2.2 to 2.2-SNAPSHOT because I could not find 2.2 and only found 2.2-SNAPSHOT from the java.net-Public repository (at https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public/) and changing the <wsdlUrl> parameter for the wsimport maven plugin.
And FYI, the IDE I use is IntelliJ. But even when I just use command line to run the jetty goals, the same error still happen.
I tried to google a solution and found out this post archive, http://www.java.net/node/676606?force=685. However, the suggested solutions do not help.
Could any guru give me some guidance on this issue? Is there anything I did wrong that's causing it?
Thanks a lot!
Re: "SEVERE: caught throwable java.lang.LinkageError: loader ...January 12, 2012 - 05:26
Hi, can you try to update jetty plugin version from 6.0.1 to 6.1.26 as I did here: http://java.net/projects/jax-ws-commons/sources/svn/revision/959 and let me know if it helps, please?
Re: "SEVERE: caught throwable java.lang.LinkageError: loader ...January 12, 2012 - 19:21
Wow! jungicz, you are awesome! Now it simply works! =P

New Year's Eve, 1991
They caught the five o'clock train from Penn Station and transferred at Princeton Junction to a two-car shuttle—known to locals as the Dinky—that deposited them on the Princeton campus. As the Dinky crossed a trestle above Lake Carnegie, Adam focused his camera on a four-man crew below, propelling a scull through the gray drizzle. He snapped the image just as the oars reached full extension.
"'Water Beetle'," Adam said, pointing to the narrow craft darting across the lake. "I like to put titles on the photos."
"And the shots at Lincoln Center?"
"I'll need to see the prints, but perhaps 'Green-eyed Girl' and 'Fountain Strawberry.'"
"You took three."
"Maybe I'll think of another title when we know each other better."
A few minutes later, the Dinky pulled into Princeton. At the landing, the conductor took Marisol's arm as she stepped off the train.
"Thanks, Charlie," Adam said, joining her on the platform. As if he'd anticipated their meeting, the conductor looked from Adam to Marisol, and said firmly, "Every ending is a beginning." Charlie was famous for oracular pronouncements, and this one was typical. It left Marisol wondering if it applied simply to the year that was ending, or might hold a deeper meaning for her.
Out of earshot, Adam explained that the conductor was a legendary figure in Princeton, beloved for safely and discreetly ushering countless inebriated undergraduates into taxis after they returned from carousing in the city. Locals recognized him as their sage ferryman, and among themselves referred to him as Siddhartha. "After the hero of Herman Hesse's novel," he added.
"I know. Just because I'm a dancer doesn't mean I'm an airhead."
"Sorry, I didn't mean…"
"It's okay, Adam. Most of my friends have no time for Siddhartha or anything else outside of dance. I only know because my dad gave me the book for my birthday."
"And when was that?"
As they crossed the campus, Adam assumed the role of tour guide.
"Woodrow Wilson was Princeton's president before moving on to the White House," he said, pointing to the house where Wilson had lived. Opposite was old Fine Hall, former home to many of the century's most illustrious mathematicians and physicists.
"Einstein worked there. His law of gravitation is inscribed in a stained-glass window."
At the party, a steady stream of students congratulated Adam on his tournament play. Marisol sensed that compliments made him uncomfortable, but that he, like she, had learned it was best to accept them graciously and move on.
"It's too noisy to talk here. Want to go outside?" he asked her, cupping his hand over her ear. He pointed to the courtyard to make sure she understood over the din.
Just then a handsome young man who had greeted them at the door reintroduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Jack. Would you like to dance?" he called out to Marisol, circling his index finger to get his question across.
Marisol looked at Adam, who nodded. She could feel his eyes on her as Jack led her toward the dance floor.
When they reached the floor, the DJ, who'd been playing Madonna, switched to Eric Clapton's "Layla," and Marisol began to dance slowly, with restrained, minimal movement in her slim hips and shoulders. When the raucous introduction modulated into the melodic anthem, she shifted gears, dramatically. In a blink, all eyes were on her. Jack did his best to match her movements, but no one was watching him. Marisol, who on stage was the epitome of control, had become woman incarnate.
When the song ended, Jack invited her to the bar, but she politely declined and returned to Adam.
"I've never seen anything like that," Adam said. "Guys will be lining up to dance with you."
"Let's get out of here," she said.
Marisol slid her arm through his and they strolled across the empty campus.
"At the basketball game, I got to see you in high gear. I wanted to show you mine. Now you've seen me choreographed and unchoreographed."
"I don't know which I like better."
"You don't have to choose," she said. He freed his arm and put it around her. Just then, the sound of a pealing bell reached them through the clear winter's night. Then another, and another. Bells were joining the chorus from all over town. They stopped and faced each other. Adam counted the chimes, and at the twelfth one, said, "Shall we celebrate the New Year in the customary fashion?"
"I'd like that." Closing her eyes, she tilted her head back and offered him her lips. He kissed her softly, just once.
"What a lovely custom."
Adam put his arm around her again and she adjusted her stride to match his.
When they got back to his rooms, Marisol disappeared into the bathroom with her dance bag and Adam did his best to straighten up his bed and then make up a place for himself to sleep on the sofa in the sitting room.
She emerged in her pajamas to find the lights out.
As she climbed into bed she called out, "Aren't you going to say goodnight?"
He got up from the sofa and went to her. The soft light filtering through the window was just bright enough to illuminate her hair spread out on his pillow. Slipping his hands beneath her head he leaned down while gently lifting her upward till their lips met. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him toward her. He let himself be drawn down, but when they'd kissed, he pulled himself up to a sitting position and lowered her head to the pillow.
"I have a proposal," he said.
"What is it?"
"You're free New Year's week and I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow. How about going with me, as my guest?"
"You're crazy!"
"Yeah, I am."
"I've never done anything like that before." Her mind was racing. She'd always been a good girl. This felt like breaking the mold.
"I can't just disappear, can I? Plus, I don't have that kind of money."
"Don't worry. My dad's always urging me to see the world. He complains when I don't use the credit card he gave me."
"Carte Blanche?"
"Exactly, except it's American Express. So you'll go?"
"Can we get a ticket this late? And I'll need to pick up my passport." As the implications sunk in, Marisol was babbling, but she knew she'd passed the point of no return.
"I'll call the airline first thing in the morning. We'll stop by your place on the way to JFK."
"I'll leave my dad a note. He wouldn't try to stop me, but somehow I don't feel like talking it over with him."
They were too excited to sleep, and talked for an hour before Adam dragged himself off to the sofa.
From Charles de Gaulle Airport they took the train into Paris, the Metro to the Bastille, and walked the final few blocks to François Merle's town house at Place des Vosges. The usual gaggle of tourists stood gawking at the picturesque seventeenth century structures bordering the grassy square.
Nearly four centuries old, the historic site had been the first residential square in the city. It comprised thirty-six matching buildings with red brick facades, white cornerstones, and steep, blue-slate roofs. A series of vaulted arcades formed the ground floor. Cardinal Richelieu and Victor Hugo had lived and worked there. Adam pointed out the fountain he'd cooled off in on hot days when he was a boy.
"Come on, I'll show you where you're staying," he said. "You've got a room with a view." He glanced at her to see if she'd caught the allusion to Forster, but couldn't tell. Taking her suitcase, he led the way up the steps to the front door.
On a table in the entryway there was a note from François. "We've got the place to ourselves for a week," he announced.
"Great! Let me unpack and change into my workout clothes." When they'd passed through New York, Marisol had phoned the ballet mistress there for help in finding a daily barre in Paris.
"You dance every day?" he asked.
"You practice every day, don't you?"
"There's a saying: 'Miss a class and you know it; miss two, and the teacher knows it; miss three, and the audience knows it.' I've missed two already."
"But everything's closed New Year's Day," he said.
"Oh, I can limber up here and take a real class tomorrow. And sometime this week I want to stop by and see the round studio at Palais Garnier. It's a mecca for dancers. Degas painted there."
After they toured the house, Adam carried Marisol's bag to the guestroom on the third floor that overlooked the square.
She said, "Actually, I could use a nap. All of a sudden I'm so sleepy, maybe I'll lie down for a bit and then stretch out."
"Okay, but if you're not down in two hours, I'm coming to get you. I want to show you Paris." He followed her footsteps up the stairs until he heard the door to her room close behind her.
"Beautiful table," Marisol said when she entered the room where Adam was reading. "A perfect circle. What's it made of?"
"Baobab wood, from our farm in Senegal. The Senegalese believe it brings good luck."
"And you have a round table made of it," Marisol mused, rapping lightly on it and, appearing satisfied, said her nap had put her in the mood for a walk.
"It's cold out there." He went to the coat closet and returned with a moss-green scarf. "I think this will look good on you," he said, putting the scarf over her head and giving the ends a playful tug.
They stopped at Mariage Frères for a pot of Russian Caravan tea, and as Adam added milk to his, he said, "Tea with milk reminds me of England. We lived there while my mom got her Ph.D."
"When did you come to the States?"
"I started high school in Cambridge while she was at Harvard, and finished at Jefferson when she took the job there."
"Will I meet your dad?"
"Yes, he's coming in from Africa on Saturday."
"Are you close?"
"Very. And you…to your dad?"
"Yes, close as father and daughter, plus, we're pals."
"Come on, you must see Notre Dame."
Walking through the streets at dusk, Marisol saw Paris as a well-lit stage on which she and Adam were anonymous extras in a show that would run long after they'd made their exits. To be beyond the reach of parents and friends, to be with a man she'd hardly known a week, was at once sobering and exhilarating.
The next morning, Marisol took an advanced ballet class at the Paris Centre Studio. It felt good to execute the familiar steps, to contract and lengthen her muscles, to reconnect with her body.
Adam was there to meet her when she left class.
"What would you like to do today?"
"If I don't go to the Rodin Museum while I'm in Paris, I'll never hear the end of it from my dad. He's a big fan."
"Well, this place is certainly not for prudes," said Adam as they passed a marble figurine configured to reveal every minute anatomical detail of the female body.
"Wow! Rodin doesn't leave much to the imagination, does he?" Marisol added.
"I wonder how he got his models to pose like that."
"Not hard to guess what happened next," she said with a giggle.
Before they left the museum, they sat on a bench in the lobby to rest their feet.
"I'll cook tonight. Would you like to try my specialty?" he asked her.
"Which is?"
"Pasta. My mother taught me how to make a good red sauce."
"Not only can he shoot a basket, he cooks, too! The crowd goes wild!" With that, Marisol gleefully threw her arms around his neck. Then she whispered in his ear, "I'm not going to be able to get this place out of my mind."
Adam kissed her. "Me either. Let's go home."
The week that followed was the happiest time Marisol had ever known. Her youth, like that of all dancers, had been highly disciplined. Now she was spontaneously giving her heart to a man she'd just met, yet felt she'd known all her life. In previous relationships with men, she'd been guarded; with Adam, she was fearless. It was the first time she'd felt the audacity she displayed on stage expressed in her life.
Their days quickly fell into a pattern: They got up late and hung out in the house till about noon. After a light lunch out, they explored Paris on foot. By late afternoon, they were back at the house at Place des Vosges making love.
One evening, they went to Giselle, and afterward spent hours discussing it. Adam wondered whether, when Giselle finds out that Prince Albrecht is betrothed, she dies of a weak heart or a broken heart. It's deliberately ambiguous, answered Marisol. In some versions she commits suicide. And, Adam continued, in the first act is Albrecht a cad, consciously leading a peasant girl on, or does he really love her? The role can be interpreted either way, Marisol replied, adding, "But in the second act Giselle's love is so strong and pure that it reaches beyond the grave. She shows him what love really is, and that knowledge changes him."
The next evening, he took her to the film Casablanca, another tale of impossible love. "'We'll always have Paris' isn't enough for me," was Marisol's reaction. "I'm glad you'll be heading back to the States soon too."
"I've got to go out to Jefferson to see my mom for a few days. She was away Christmas week," he said.
He turned to look at her.
"Adam, I should tell you something. You'd find out anyway."
"My dad and your mom are seeing each other. He told me just before he left to spend the week with her at his cabin in the Berkshires."
"No! You told me they knew each other but I had no idea they were…"
"…dating." Marisol finished his sentence.
"Wow! This is going to take some getting used to."
Marisol could see he was uncomfortable with the idea. "I think they're perfect for each other," she offered, but when Adam didn't respond she wished she'd kept her mouth shut.
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have spilled the beans."
"No, I'm glad you told me. We shouldn't have secrets between us. I think I'm still in denial about my parents' separation."
They were startled when the phone on the bed table rang. It was François calling from Senegal to confirm his arrival.
After Adam hung up, he said, "My dad's on the board of Doctors Without Borders. There's an emergency meeting on Somalia tomorrow and he asked me to stand in for him. It won't take us long."
Before the meeting started, Adam made a point of conveying his father's regrets to the executive director. Then he led Marisol to a seat at the back of the auditorium so they could duck out if it ran on.
The executive director set the stage for the event by explaining how chronic drought in the Sahel, coupled with fighting among Somali chieftains, was driving hungry refugees into the cities. He then introduced a young Indochinese woman who had just returned from Mogadishu. After completing her studies at L'Écoles des Médecins, Dr. Élodie Pham Fleury had signed up for a year of fieldwork in lieu of the typical hospital internship. Dressed in a lavender ao dai—the traditional Vietnamese silk tunic—over black pantaloons, she was the epitome of cosmopolitan elegance.
"I'll translate when she's done," Adam whispered. Although Marisol couldn't follow the substance of Dr. Fleury's presentation, she was impressed by her dynamism and passion. She tried to imagine herself in a world in which no one cared about tendus and arabesques. The satisfaction she presumed would come from saving people from starvation made her question her single-minded dedication to dance.
Dr. Fleury, who illustrated her talk with slides of emaciated children, argued that famine had become unavoidable and called upon the French press to get the story out. Then, speaking English with a light French accent, and with even greater urgency, she repeated her appeal to the world media.
Adam and Marisol were discussing the talk when Dr. Fleury joined them. She began in French but, after Adam introduced Marisol, switched to English.
"I'm told that you're the son of François Merle. He's one of our staunchest supporters."
"He's in Senegal and asked me to come in his place. This is my friend, Marisol, a ballet dancer in New York."
"I think your work is wonderful," Marisol interjected.
"Have you been following events in Somalia?"
"This is the first I've heard about the famine," Marisol admitted.
"No one's heard of it; that's the problem. We're looking for recruits. We've got nothing against dancers." She flashed Marisol a smile.
"When are you going back?" Adam asked the doctor.
"Next week. I go from Paris to Nairobi, then on to Mogadishu. Why do you ask?"
"Sounds like an adventure. I've lived in West Africa, but I've never seen the East. Who took the photographs?"
"I did, but they don't capture the extent of the tragedy. We're desperate for volunteers. Are you interested?"
Marisol's face froze and her heart pounded. Surely Adam wouldn't go off to Africa with this woman.

Cool story man, I hope Warbringer put up that picture cause that sounds fucking epic hahaha.
Here's their little duel thing. It's just from my phone so it sounds like ass but still.
I was actually standing right next to you then for a few songs. I was sick of the moshers so I had to get outta there. The only other time I did that was during Opeth for the Ghost Reveries tour. at 22 I'm starting to feel old.
I wish I remembered the names of the guys and what they played. I just remember John and Nic, but the one with the Beard was the one that had the guard rails fall on him. and the one that kinda looked like Dave Grohl playing bass had the picture on his phone. They were all really cool guys to hang out with. The next time they are in town We'll be having some good times to remember.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the size of the crowd. Any Sunday night show with any crowd is a good sign.
Since I wasn't there, how did Abigail Williams sound? I haven't heard the new album yet. I heard it's a lot less symphonic and more straight up Black Metal.
The Time Wizard kicked ass...so much so I didn't even mind getting kicked in the face by him. hahaha. He also signed my hockey mask as the Time Wizard and drew a clock on it.

Our Story
Duke of Delhi was started by two siblings i.e. my sister and I. Some 30 years ago we went to India for the first time. It was a shock to say the least. Believe it or not but we were both running around the streets that very first day looking for a Cornish pasty but boy were we surprised. That's when we first encountered Nankhatai, or semolina biscuits, to be precise, being baked on an open fire oven on the streets of Delhi. The smell of sweet biscuits seemed to block out all the chaos of the street.
We revelled in trying different tastes from both India and England and so began the beginnings of the Duke of Delhi.
We started to sell them at our lovely local community market in Wallington and then we expanded to London where you can still see us on some Saturdays. Just like our friends, people really liked our biscuits. We even won a great taste award for our Chilli Chocolate and Orange Nankatai Biscuit.
Back in England our grandma used to make us delicious Indian Nankhatai biscuits every Friday as a treat and then we'd settle down to watch Monkey Magic on BBC2 (oh those were the days)We grew up living in a house which always had people coming and going – mostly it would be our friends, who would stay round to watch the footy or chat. Eating the biscuits, our friends would always tell us how scrumptious they were. I remember my grandma making a special batch during the 1986 world cup for a packed house.
We then introduced Our Delhi Mixes – distant relatives of the Bombay Mix – but so different. Chocolate Chunk Delhi Mix, Honeycomb, Orange and Nut – all so amazingly special. These can be found at the Queens supermarket Fortnum and Mason where they sell incredibly well.
My sister and I have loved elephants since we were children. And we believe the best place for these majestic creatures is roaming free in their natural habitat rather than being kept captive in a zoo. One of my favourite childhood memories was seeing elephants in the wild in the jungles outside Udaipur in India when I was just four years old.
We first found out about the charity Elephant Family in 2010 when they unleashed a whole herd of multicoloured elephants in London for the Elephant Parade. The UK charity does all it can to save the Asian elephant and its habitat, work Duke of Delhi is very proud to support. Last year Duke of Delhi gave over £3,000 to Elephant Family and we hope to do the same in 2014.
Please take a moment to have a look at the amazing things Elephant Family do to ensure future generations will experience the thrill of seeing these beautiful animals enjoying their freedom.
At Duke of Delhi, we pledge to always be:
Responsible – we source our ingredients from ethical sources and obtain environmentally friendly packaging where we can, even if it's more expensive
Charitable – if we make anything, we make sure we give something back
Innovative – we want to continue surprising and delighting our friends with innovative Anglo-Indian snacks which have the wow-factor
Fun – like most people, we've worked in some stuffy places in our time but at Duke of Delhi, we want to combine hard work with fun. After all, life is too short to be boring
Informative – we will try our best to always explain what we do and why we do it
We really do care what you think about our products. We've listened from day one to our friends, we didn't stop listening at the local food markets and we certainly won't stop now. We've just received a "Great Taste Award" gold star for our Nankathai Biscuits all because we kept listening and perfecting. We would really like to hear your views and suggestions so please email us and let's talk.
Our signature Duke of Delhi Bombay mix (Chevdo) bejewelled in a delicious chocolate bar
-a delectable melting pot of two cultures and tastes.
Click or tab on each bar to find out more…
Every time I think of cinnamon, it brings back memories of growing up, when our mum used to add it to our warm milk to give it that lovely flavour. The finest milk chocolate is given a delicate twist with the very best Indian cinnamon and spoonfuls of crunchy pieces of our signature Duke of Delhi mix.£4.00
Customers at Fortnum and Mason keep mentioning that our orange and nut Delhi Mix reminds them of Christmas. That's our inspiration behind our milk chocolate and orange Delhi mix bar. Tasty nibbles of our signature Delhi Mix with zesty pieces of sumptuous citrus orange are encased in the finest quality milk chocolate to create a delicious fruity treat.£4.00
Whenever our mum made anything with lemons and limes, it would be our favourite. The citrus taste made everything feel fresh and alive. We created a dark chocolate bar infused with refreshing lime and studded with a handful of our Duke of Delhi Bombay Mix, which I personally can't stop eating.£4.00
My sister and I have memories of the smell of toasted coconut slowly wafting through every room of our house. Those memories come flooding back when we produced this delicious dark chocolate bar with a difference. Tasty nibbles of our signature Duke of Delhi Bombay mix contrast with exquisite toasted coconut to create something extra special.£4.00
The heavenly combination of crushed cardamom and natural vanilla is a scrumptious pairing, my sister and I believe. Coupled with our smooth velvety milk chocolate and a fistful of our crunchy signature Duke of Delhi Mix, we constantly hear customers say how exotic this bar really tastes.£4.00
Our best selling Chocolate Chunk Delhi Mix (sold at Fortnum's) was the inspiration for all our bars. "Chocolate in a Bombay Mix?" is what we always hear. So a bar with our Delhi Mix enrobed in the finest dark chocolate to create a simple but effective blend of contrasting flavours is a natural step.£4.00
Our Delhi mix is inspired by the Indian street snack "Chevdo", sold in special places such as New Delhi train station, where the incoming Rajdhani express train sees hundreds of commuters run off to buy this tasty snack before their train leaves without them. Our range uses only authentic Indian ingredients & flavours, infused with a zing of the British spirit. Chocolate in a Bombay Mix? Honeycomb? Orange and Nut? Look at what the press say about them.
It's 1944 and an ordinary English boy was sent off to India by his grandma to escape the ravages of the Second World War. He eventually arrived in Udaipur and at the home of the Mewar (King). Smells, sights, sounds, heat, animals, insects, music, people and food were all so different from back home in England. He had no idea, but his real journey was just about to begin. In a world far removed from the war back home, he goes through his own trials and tribulations as well as growing up the Indian way. There he is befriended by Duke the elephant along with a courageous street girl named Iman, two monkeys and a parrot. What follows is a series of unusual adventures around India as the unlikely group try their best to reunite their elephant friend with his family. Along the way they meet tigers, water buffalo, monkeys, and other amazing creatures but all they really need to keep them going on their journey is friendship.
The Duke of Delhi stories were told to us by our Gran while we were growing up.

Actually, I've gone a few times, and I'll probably go many more. Muir Woods definitely falls in my top 5 out of the top 10 among the top 25 places to visit when you're in the Bay Area. What makes Muir Woods so awesome? No matter when you visit, you're always guaranteed two things:
- Giant trees
- Shade
Photos really can't do the giant redwoods justice. It's not until you're standing among them that you realize how big they are and how small you are. With an average age between 600 and 800 years old, it's hard to even imagine what the world was like when these trees first sprouted.
Walking through the woods is relaxing to say the least. It's nice to take a break from the city life every once in awhile, and this has become one of my favorite places to go. It's great because once you get there, you're never in a rush to leave. Something about this place just makes you stop and slow down.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
— Henry David Thoreau

The European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, the community of Hungarian statisticians and probabilists and the organisers cordially invite their colleagues to participate in the 29th European Meeting of Statisticians, to be held in Budapest, Hungary, from 20 to 25 July 2013.
The event
The European Meeting of Statisticians is uniquely the broadest and most prestigious regular meeting of the profession in Europe, having long history and well established traditions. Two distinguishing feature of the current occasion are worth being emphasized, however. Beyond providing a natural forum for exchange of ideas for European statisticians and probabilists, particular organisational effort has been made to represent both traditional and newly emerging ties of the European professionals with the whole World. Hence, we expect colleagues from India, China, South-East Asia, the Middle-East, North- and Latin-America to participate in greater than usual number. It is also the ambition of the organisers to stimulate the inseminating tie between probability and statistics by a balanced representation of intertwined topics of both disciplines.
The framework of these specialities is provided by the year 2013 itself as it brings a number of celebrating anniversaries, connected to our profession. The year 2013 marks the 300th anniversary of both the posthumous publication of Jacob Bernoulli's "Ars Conjectandi", and the St Petersburg Paradox. The 250th anniversary of the posthumous presentation to the Royal Society of Thomas Bayes' essay on the problem of "inverse probability" commences also in 2013. The Bernoulli Society sees EMS2013 as the perfect occasion to celebrate these events with due respect and consideration.
Organised discussion sessions may provide excellent occasions for talking over or debating on issues like free access to publications, assessment of the originality of scientific works, measurements of scientific accomplishments, and the access of the profession to the now changing European funding resources.

As of Thursday, April 11, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Brian Williamson is the head coach for girls lacrosse and volleyball at Mill Creek. He's in his fourth year at the Hoschton school and has turned the lacrosse program into the top one in Gwinnett County. The Hawks are ranked No. 6 in the state and 12-1 so far this season.
In this installment of "Getting to Know ...," Williamson talks with staff writer Christine Troyke about a variety of topics, including starting the volleyball program at Villa Rica in his first job out of college, learning to coach lacrosse and trying unsuccessfully to return wedding presents.
CT: Where did you grow up?
BW: Warner Robins, Ga. I played baseball in high school all the way through. I played some other sports here and there -- a little bit of golf, a little bit of tennis -- but baseball was what I did. Until I went to college. Then I was tired of baseball. I'd played so much of it. I got heavily into volleyball. I've coached that now for 12 years. I've coached ever since my first year teaching.
But when I ended up at West Georgia, I finished up college there and that's where I really got heavily into playing volleyball.
CT: Looking back, do you wish volleyball was a men's sport in high school?
BW: I don't know how early I would have picked it up. I definitely wish it was. It's still not down there. It's there for the girls a little bit. It's not like it is with all the clubs and things in Atlanta. But definitely, after I started playing, I was like, "Wow, where has this been?"
Once we started playing and trying to teach ourselves to play -- we were really bad, but we loved it so much we were playing all the time. We had makeshift courts in the backyard with flour as sidelines. We just really got into it. It was bigger at West Georgia, because the school is so much bigger and I got into it more there. There were a lot of us who decided to start playing. There were a couple of really nice courts at some churches and we were playing there.
CT: When you headed off to college, was teaching the idea?
BW: I was at Middle Georgia College and I was doing accounting. I found out really quickly that I hated it. I was a math-minded guy and I didn't enjoy the business and the rules and the laws of accounting. So I switched over to math teaching my second year of college. That's what I stuck with from there on out.
CT: What was your first job out of college?
BW: Villa Rica High School. That's also where I did my student teaching for a full semester. It's actually kind of a funny story because they offered me a job in the spring, pretty early on. The principal came down one day and I shared with him my desire to coach volleyball. Carroll County didn't have volleyball. He says, "OK." He comes down the next day and said, "I made a call to the county and if you will come and teach here, we will let you start a volleyball program."
I spent my summer and spring getting ready for that. We started one, as did a couple of other schools. So the next fall, I was teaching at Villa Rica and I was coaching the volleyball team. It was quite an experience. Right out of the gate, I didn't know anything about coaching it. But it was a lot of fun and a very rewarding experience. I taught there for five years before I ended up in Gwinnett County.
CT: There are coaches that can say they started a program, but not too many that can say they facilitated the beginning of a program.
BW: And it wasn't intentional. It wasn't a laying out of demands. I just never dreamed of that. All the Douglas County schools nearby had volleyball. This was back in 2000, so there were no teams anywhere. So when he came back down, it was like, "Oh, wow." It was just perfect. It was what I wanted to do.
CT: How was the first year?
BW: It was a big learning experience. Volleyball was still new. We went 11-20. I had a lot of girls who were very new to it, but a lot of the athletes came out and wanted to play. So we kept a varsity program only the first year and then started a JV program the next year.
Just to win 11 games was exciting. Then we won around 35 my second and third years and went to the state playoffs. Even though it was still new, we just had a lot of good athletes and the girls were excited about playing. I had a ton of energy. I don't have as much now as I had then. I had a lot then. I was pretty young and pretty crazy and I just enjoyed being there. We really had a lot of fun. Really good support from my AD and fellow coaches.
CT: Leaving there, to come to Gwinnett, what convinced you to make that move?
BW: I stepped down at the end of the fifth year, at the banquet, and that was a big surprise to everyone. My wife is from Gwinnett County and we had just had our first child. We decided to move back over this way. We wanted to be closer to her family so we decided to make the transition over here.
I finished up the school year there, did some interviewing, and sometime in the spring that year, I took a job at Meadowcreek. I was there for three years and then I came over to Mill Creek.
CT: Were the coaching jobs available at the same time you came over?
BW: When I came over, Analisa Wendt was the head volleyball coach. I was brought over to be the assistant varsity coach. Also, they knew they were going to be starting a lacrosse program so part of that interview process was looking for someone to start the program.
I wasn't very excited about that, to put it nicely. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. It was part of what they needed and I took that on. We didn't start it the first year I was there and even coming into second year, I wasn't very excited about it.
But that quickly changed. The girls are fantastic. The parents are great. The kids love the program, love the opportunity to play. So it's been nothing but a blessing.
CT: How much did you know about lacrosse?BW: Nothing. I watched a lot of videos. I was on YouTube. I was reading. I was watching anything I could find. I read the rules a lot. I read the rule book several times. Even in Year 1, it was a big learning curve. Last year, I learned a ton as well. I'm still going to clinics and camps, watching college games on TV and in person. I'm still learning a lot and enjoying the opportunity to do so.
CT: The rise of Mill Creek lacrosse was fairly swift though. You made the state playoffs last year.
BW: We were in it the first year, too. We got beat in the first round by a team that went to the finals. We ended up 17-3 or so and we had a great season that year. But yeah, we were beat down pretty heavily in the playoffs.
Then we were in it again last year and got, actually, the first ever Gwinnett County girls playoff win against Hillgrove. Then we got beat by Milton in the second round, who won state. Again.
But yeah, the swiftness, I can't take credit for that.
CT: I was going to say it must be the coaching.
BW: (laughing) No, no. Definitely not. The association here has been big. When we started the program, they had high school club teams. But not only that, this year, the program has three U15 teams. They're running about 20 a team and half of those kids will be ninth-graders at Mill Creek next year. Every year, when we're making cuts, we have 30 freshmen at tryouts. We kept like 25, some on varsity, some on JV.
We're starting a ninth-grade team next year. Collins Hill had one this year, but we're starting one next year to boost the program.
So, sure, we have great athletes, we have great kids. We're always looking for the track athletes and the softball players to come out. That's been successful this year. That combined with what the youth association is doing -- even our JV team has lost one game badly, that was to Walton, but all the teams in the county, they are beating by 12 or 14 goals. Just like the varsity. But that's because every kid except one or two on the JV has been playing for two or three years. They're not new to the game.
I wish I could take credit. But it's not me.
CT: The women's game is considerably different from the men's. And different from sports like soccer or hockey. Is it tough to get used to?
BW: When you hear people in clinics give a description of the two, they say the girls game is a finesse game. You're essentially catching with a tennis racquet. Because there's almost no pocket in that stick. So it's considered a skill game. The boys is too, but it's a physical game. You have the deep pocket and they're hitting each other. Whereas the girls, it's similar to basketball. You can body a girl up, you can get physical. But you can't knock them over, you can't hit them with the stick.
It hasn't been a huge learning curve for me because I didn't coach boys. I didn't know anything else.
People argue that the girls need to play like the boys. But you'd have to change everything. You'd have to change the stick completely. If that stick gets hit now, with even a little bit of force, that ball comes out. Which is why I think it's so much more impressive to see a girl catch a ball from 35 yards away, on the run. It's hard.
CT: If you have free time, what do you like to do with it?
BW: Well, I have two girls now, so there's not a lot of free time.
CT: How old are they?
BW: Seven and 5, and I have one on the way.
But I play ultimate frisbee with some of the senior boys at the school and a few of the coaches. I still like to play sand volleyball and tennis.
CT: Do you have any favorite vacation spots?
BW: We go to Florida. My wife, especially, likes the beach. So do my kids. They love being in the sand and playing in the water. I grew up, my family always went to the mountains. I don't do that as much anymore, but we end up at the beach a lot.
My idea of vacation is doing nothing. Their idea is going to the beach and playing in the sand. So that's what we do.
CT: Can you compromise a little? Sit and do nothing while they play?
BW: Well, they allow me to go and find volleyball games down the beach and take the frisbee with me.
CT: Are there any TV shows you try not to miss?
BW: I watch "Pardon the Interruption," "Shark Tank" and "Law and Order." That's about it. With coaching and teaching and the girls, I don't see a lot of TV these days.
CT: Good thing there's DVR.BW: That's the thing, they all get taped. I see them all at 11 at night.
CT: How did you meet your wife?
BW: At West Georgia. We sort of have a disagreement about when we actually met. I remember meeting her at a luncheon at the Baptist Student Union. She remembers meeting on the flag football intramural field. But we were both involved in a couple of Christian organizations and just ran into each other.
CT: Do you remember any good wedding gifts you got?
BW: (pauses and chuckles) I only remember the funny stuff. You know, you end up taking things back because you get three or four of them. We ended up getting three of those really big cake cutting knives that were identical. So we went to take one back, to where we thought it came from, went in and took it out of the box. We didn't know it, but it had our names and the anniversary date engraved on the side of it. So we kept that one. We still have it.
I know we got a lot of stuff that we're still using, but I just remember that in particular because we tried to take it back and we were so embarrassed.

Oxnard schools share love for books
Kids at Ramona Elementary School in Oxnard got a surprise visit Friday from volunteers celebrating a national reading event honoring Dr. Seuss' birthday.
Mayor Tim Flynn and city firefighters were among the 21 readers who stopped in at to share their love for books and read aloud to students.
"It's great for them to see more people like this enjoying reading and more people who like books. It gets them excited and encourages them," said Rosa Meza, the school's librarian.
Ramona Elementary — and schools throughout Oxnard — hold the special guest reading event annually as part National Education Association's Reading Across America Day. Educators hope the event reinforces the importance of reading at least 15 minutes every day, Meza said.
In about half of the classrooms at Ramona Elementary, a volunteer stopped in to read to the students, the librarian said. The reading visits went from 8:15 a.m. to about 1:30 p.m.
Flynn, who is a teacher at Pacifica High School as well as mayor, joined Ramona Elementary's efforts to encourage students' passion for books and encourage higher learning.
While the day focuses on a love for reading, for Flynn, it's a chance to appreciate the challenges schools face. He said he has 70 students who did not pass the eighth-grade equivalency. It was a surprising number of students to whom he will teach the basics, including sentence writing, Flynn said.
"We need to figure out at what point are these kids are falling off track," he said.
The mayor encouraged the elementary students to go home and read to their parents. Getting parents involved in the reading and inspiring a love for books at an early age are key, he said.
Just before the students went to lunch, Flynn started his classroom reading by asking the students if they liked to read. Most of the 19 students shared an interest in reading, including first-grader Jonathan Espinoza, 6. His favorite books to read are "Goosebumps," a children's suspense book series by author R.L. Stine.
"I like to read books because they are so funny, and they make you smarter," Espinoza said.
Flynn spent about half an hour with the kids, sharing his interest in books and explaining how helpful reading is to his job.
"It is very important to keep reading every day," Flynn told the kids.
With a hat in "Cat in the Hat" style atop his head, the mayor read through the rhymes in Dr. Seuss' "Sleep Book." The students wore their own Seuss-inspired paper hats they colored Wednesday, as well.
The kids giggled as they tried to recite phrases from the book, such as "Hoop-soup-snoop-group."
"He was really nice," said first-grader Maritza Perez, 7. "I look forward to it next year."

3 Great Books for Teaching Children About Time!
Does your little one struggle to understand time? So did ours!
When children understand time, they gain the skills and confidence to:
+ Know what "five more minutes, then it's bedtime" actually means
+ Finish their meals and homework on time... without your constant prompting
+ Take turns and wait patiently
+ Understand the purpose of a "time-out," and use that time to calm down and relax
+ Be aware of the value of time
Follow Time Timer's Pinterest Board: Teaching Children About Time.
These 3 great books can help you and the children in your life explore the concept of time.
1. Telling Time with Big Mama Cat
Help Big Mama Cat stick to her busy schedule! As you read about Mama Cat's day, your child can move the hand's on the book's clock to show what time it is. Soon your child will learn to not only tell time on an analog clock, but also anticipate what your family's schedule will be at different times of day.
Help your child think about time by asking: What does Mama Cat do in the morning? What does our family do in the morning? What does "afternoon" mean? When do you think evening starts?
Your Time Timer can help! The red disk mirrors the minute hand of an analog clock. So, set your Time Timer for ten minutes and place it next to the clock. Show your child what time it will be in ten minutes.
2. Dr. Seuss's Beginner Book Collection
"How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?"
-- Dr. Seuss
Time is far more than numbers on a clock! When you're teaching children about time, Dr. Seuss's funny books can help you discuss how time "feels." The beloved children's author has a gift for really making us think about how we perceive the world.
As you read the book, ask your child: Does time move quickly or slowly? Why does five minutes of homework feel like forever, but a fun-filled day at Disney World can pass like a blur? Does time really "fly" when you're having fun?
This discussion is also a great way to get to know your child and understand how she sees the world!
After reading the book, examine your child's Time Timer. Watch the red disk gradually disappear and show your child that even though time seems to "fly" or "crawl," it's actually a constant. Over time, this lesson can be very reassuring and calming for your child.
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you."
-- Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
We've learned the numbers on the clock, and we've discussed how time feels. Now it's time for the BIG questions about time!
Winnie-the-Pooh and his best mate Piglet promise to be friends forever. They're always there for each other. Ask your child: What does "forever" mean to you? What does it mean to have a life-long friendship, to make a promise? What do "always" and "never" mean? What does your faith teach about the nature of time?
Children often find these questions fascinating. Discussing the answers in the context of Pooh & Piglet's friendship helps even very young pre-schoolers start to think about the answers in a real-world way!
Your Time Timer can help too. If your child makes a promise to always clean his room every morning, then his Time Timer can help him set aside enough time before breakfast to keep that promise.
How do you teach your children about time? Recommend your favorite books & ideas in the comments or on Facebook.

- Cooking dinner = Mommy
- Grilling dinner = Daddy
- Taking out the garbage = Daddy
- Grocery shopping = Mommy
Nanny L and I were bathing Babes in the big kids tub, chatting about some of our funniest home video moments:
Suburban H.I.T.: When my brother was two, he called my dad a choice word in the bathtub because he turned the faucet off!
Nanny L, laughing: Seriously?! We have a video of all us kids picking our nose and farting - we had no idea we were being taped!
Suburban H.I.T.: Too funny! Wait, what's that?
Nanny L: Is that what I think it is?
Suburban H.I.T.: Quick, get her out of the tub!
I run down the hall to our bathroom where Husby is showering.
Suburban H.I.T.: You need to get out of the shower now. I have an immediate Daddy Duty for you.
Husby: It can't wait?
Suburban H.I.T.: No.
Back in the bathroom with Babes and Nanny L, Husby walks in...
Husby: You weren't kidding when you said Daddy Duty.
Suburban H.I.T.: No, we have some Code Red Floaters that you need to get out of the tub immediately.
So there you have it. While discussing our own mortifying family moments, Babes decided it was time to create one of her own and pooped in the tub.
I don't know about you, but that definitely falls in the Daddy category.
*These are generalizations. Of course Husby cooks when we're having tacos or fondue, and I'd be remiss to say I never took out the garbage, but generally speaking, this is how these chores are broken up.

Fort Smith, Ark.
One of the longest running outdoor dramas, Shepherd of the Hills, in Branson, is ending the evening performances of the play based on Harold Bell Wright's novel. The last show after 54 years will be Oct. 19.
It is sad to see this important part of history fade. Wright's novel reflects the history of the people in the area of Stone and Taney counties before Highway 76. My wife and I were lucky to work with so many wonderful people at Shepherd of the Hills both in the night show and when I was a tour guide and daytime entertainer there.
Wright's book started tourism in Branson over 100 years ago, and it seems that people have forgotten what real entertainment is - as Shepherd and the Passion Play to the south in Eureka Springs, Ark., have trouble staying in business. This is a sign that our society has turned from what matters and traded it for cheap imitations and smoke, instead of fire.
I appreciate all of the people who worked at Shepherd of the Hills. "I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3.He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber nor sleep. 5. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7.The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Psalms 121

2-0 advantage just 10 minutes later when Natalie Barr netted her first of four goals in the match. App State scored its lone goal of the match when senior Casey Lammando dished a pass across the circle to Amber Boot who fired a shot in front of the cage, bringing the Apps within one. Barr notched her second goal with just under three minutes left in the first half of the match, allowing Liberty to take the 3-1 lead into halftime.

BJP hails Lalu Prasad's conviction
The BJP Monday hailed Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's conviction by a trial court in a corruption case related to the 1996 fodder scam in Bihar.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy called it justice for 10 crore people of Bihar, while Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley accused the central government of trying to shield the RJD leader through an ordinance.
"It is a historic judgment and a justice day for the 10 crore people of Bihar," Rudy told reporters.
He said although justice was delayed, this was an important decision.
Lalu Prasad was convicted for illegal withdrawal of crores of rupees from the animal husbandry department in Bihar, in what is popularly known as the fodder scam, by a CBI special court in Ranchi. He faces a maximum punishment of a life term. The court will pronounce the sentence Oct 3.
"We welcome the verdict. We believe Lalu Prasad was saving himself since the last 10 years by political compromises with the UPA (United Progressive Alliance)," he said.
He also wondered if a similar verdict will come in other scam cases.
"We wonder, after this historic judgment, would a similar judgment come in the 2G scam (related to telecom licences), CWG case (alleged corruption in organising Commonwealth Games 2010), coal scam (alleged wrongdoing in allocation of coal blocks), and 'railgate' (alleged bribery in railway appointments)," Rudy said.
Jaitley said: "It has taken 17 years for justice to be done. Public spirited litigants who put the process of law into motion succeeded in getting the case transferred from Bihar Police to the CBI. They succeeded in preventing the CBI, during the UPA government, from sabotaging its own case."
"When conviction appeared to be inevitable the UPA even prepared for life after conviction," Jaitley said, in an article released by the BJP Monday, referring to the recent ordinance approved by the union cabinet which seeks to override the Supreme Court decision on disqualifying convicted lawmakers.
"Today we have all understood why this ordinance was brought. Its only object was to help a loyal UPA ally who was likely to be convicted. In the end, justice has prevailed. Be you ever so high, the law is above you," he said.
Party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said: "Fodder scam verdict convicting so many big leaders is an assurance for probity in our polity."
Lalu Prasad was convicted by a Central Bureau of Investigation special court in Ranchi, along with 44 others, for fraudulently withdrawing Rs.37.70 crore from the Chaibasa district treasury. Chaibasa is now in Jharkhand after the state was carved out of Bihar in 2000.

|The Game Story:
|SALISBURY, Md. � Two days of nearly non-stop rain didn�t stop the No. 4 ranked Salisbury University men�s lacrosse team from hosting No. 15 ranked Ohio Wesleyan University on Saturday afternoon. The Sea Gulls shot out of the gates, scoring two goals in the first two minutes of play, and never looked back as they rolled past the Battling Bishops 15-6.
Salisbury�s accuracy was on point, as the first five shots ripped by Sea Gulls (6-0) all resulted in goals; in the first quarter, the maroon and gold scored eight goals on nine shots. Senior attackman Mike Winter (Port Washington, N.Y.) led the Sea Gull charge by netting three goals in the first quarter alone, including a behind-the-back shot that flew past Bishop goalkeeper Jud Hall. The Bishops (2-2) didn�t get on the board until the second quarter with 10:49 remaining on the clock as Ohio Wesleyan attackman Shaun Crow scored his team�s first and only goal of the half.
The second half was more of the same for Salisbury, whose impenetrable defense allowed only 13 shots on the day for the Bishops. Sophomore midfielder Sam Bradman (Canton, N.Y.), who scored two goals in the first half, netted Salisbury�s 11th and 12th goals in the third quarter and finished with a team-high seven points on four goals and three assists. Eight different Sea Gulls scored goals in the victory, including sophomore midfielder Jeff McGuire (Millersville, Md.), who netted his first career goal in the fourth quarter with just 1:31 left to play.
In between the pipes, three different Sea Gulls saw playing time: junior Johnny Rodriguez (Gambrills, Md.) earned the win as he played the entire first half and was forced to make only one save. The other two goalkeepers, junior Tim Swinburn (Swarthmore, Pa.) and freshman Mitch Meredith (Annapolis, Md.) made a combined three saves in the second half to preserve Salisbury�s significant margin of victory. Salisbury fired off 44 shots in the win.
Salisbury�s next contest will be this Wednesday as the Sea Gulls host The College of Wooster in their first night game of the season. The first face-off is set for 7 p.m.

Daemen College : News : News Releases
Bobby MillsSpecial Assistant to the PresidentDaemen College(716) firstname.lastname@example.com
Colonel Walter Gordon, Director of Daemen Colleges Center for Veterans and Veterans Family Services, announced today that the Center will host a breakfast on Veterans Day to honor the Nations veterans. The breakfast will begin at 8:00 A.M. on Monday, November 11th in the Alumni Lounge of the Wick Campus Center on the Daemen College campus in Amherst. The public is invited and the breakfast is free of charge.
Colonel Gordon, who also serves as the Acting Commander of the 914th Airlift Wing in Niagara Falls, paid tribute to veterans, stating: This annual event at Daemen provides a time to reflect on the sacrifices that our veterans have made for our country and the contribution that our veteran students will make, again, to our Nation in the future. There is no prouder moment for me than this day, this moment to thank our veterans for their service.
Veterans Day is an opportunity for the entire Daemen Community to pay tribute to our outstanding veteran students and to all veterans who have served our country with such honor, said Daemen College President, Gary A. Olson. Our veteran students make Daemen a better place and they symbolize the tremendous contribution that veterans have made to our Nation. This is a special day of celebration at Daemen.
Dr. Olson will read a letter of support that the College received from U.S. Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, that pays tribute to our Nations veterans.
In addition to Dr. Olson and Colonel Gordon, Daemen student and veteran, Robert Baker will address the breakfast participants. Robert is a former Green Beret having served over six years in the U.S. Army, serving three of those years on a Special Forces ODA (A-team), and received a bronze star for his service in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Robert received his Bachelors Degree from Louisiana State University and is enrolled in the Physician Assistant Program at Daemen College.
The College has invited all veterans in the area to participate in the breakfast and invitations have also gone out to Members of the State of New York delegation whom represent the College in Albany, and to Members of Daemens U.S. Congressional delegation.
To-date, U.S. Congressman Brian Higgins and State Assemblyman Ray Walter have accepted invitations to attend and are expected to make brief remarks.
Daemen College is committed to ensuring that all students will receive sufficient financial assistance to attend the college based on financial need.

Comments about Targus Targus Global Executive Deluxe Case:
I have used several computer cases over the years. This is the second Global Exec Deluxe Case I have owned. First one fits a 14" screen. New one fits 15.4" screen. It is the most practical, durable case with first class laptop damage protection I have owned. Great for airline travel.
