Climate Change: Follow the Scientists

Dr. James McClintock, a renowned University of Alabama-Birmingham marine biologist who has conducted research in Antarctica for more than 25 years, told me the following story.
"You work in a scientific lab in the quietest place on Earth -- Antarctica.
"There's a Crack! Boom!
"You rush to the window of your remote lab with a number of your fellow scientists, and you witness a glacier 'calving' a chunk of ice the size of a house into the water. Adrenaline permeates the room.
"Ten years ago, that exciting and incredible sight would happen about once a week. It was an event. Something rare.
"Today, at that same lab in Antarctica, the calving glacial ice, the explosive sounds, are a daily occurrence.
"The scientists are almost 'ho-hum' about it, barely lifting their heads to recognize the melting ice."
Such is life in a warming world.
McClintock has spent most of his life searching the ends of the earth for a cure for cancer and other human diseases. In fact, his research team has discovered marine species in the Antarctic that produce compounds active against skin cancer and influenza.
McClintock is not an alarmist. He does not have a political agenda. But he knows firsthand the earth is warming and he understands some of the consequences. Mid-winter temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula where he works are 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were 60 years ago. That may not seem like a big difference to us non-scientists, but it's devastating to a delicate polar ecosystem (and other ecosystems).
In fact, this spring, McClintock and his research associates documented an invasion of king crabs that are likely to endanger fragile Antarctic clams, snails, and brittlestars, or perhaps even the sea squirts that he and his colleagues study that could unlock a cure for skin cancer. This new predator, with its crushing claws, is moving in because of the rapidly warming seas. Once they make their way up onto the Antarctic shelf, an archaic marine ecosystem that has been without crushing predators for millennia will find itself largely defenseless. King crabs could very well destroy McClintock's living lab. For McClintock, it's like discovering someone is about to burn down your home and your life's work and possessions.
I have always believed the National Academies of Science and the National Research Council motto "Where the nation turns for independent and expert advice" accurately portrays that most venerable institution. As a nation, we have been seeking their advice since President Lincoln established this scientific body in 1863. Last month, without much fanfare, and little to no attention from the national media, the National Academies released their latest congressionally requested report on climate change.
The report, "America's Choices," does not pull any punches. It reaffirms that climate change is occurring now and that the most effective strategy to combat it would be to begin cutting greenhouse gas emissions immediately.
What makes this report more shocking is the fact that it is not new. As far back as 2005, the National Academies of the U.S., France, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Japan, Germany, Brazil and China have jointly called upon policy makers throughout the world to address climate change. The message from the National Academies six years ago was virtually identical to the one in 2011. Climate change is real. We need to drastically reduce greenhouse emissions. We need to aggressively seek technological and scientific solutions. Delaying will only make matters worse.
And now, more than ever, the signs of climate change are becoming starker. The extreme weather and floods in the Midwest and South this spring, historical droughts and fires in Texas and Arizona, permafrost disappearing in Russia/Siberia, floods in Pakistan, massive drought followed by flooding in Australia and whole villages in Alaska disappearing because of sea level rise are just a few recent examples.
The climate is changing so rapidly the Arbor Day Foundation has changed its recommendations for when and where you should plant your trees.
Are we going to follow the National Academy of Sciences and countless scientists' advice on climate change? Are we going to listen to Dr. James McClintock and try to save a place that can lead to cures for cancer? Or are we going to barely lift our heads and refuse to recognize the climate changing around us?

There is no "Man made climate change".. They FAIL to mention that EVERY planet in the solar system is warming or changing in some way. The entire solar system is changing.. it is either a cycle or something is occuring out there to cause this change... Politics are milking this occurance to rape the people of money and freedoms.. nothing new there.

Via? Seriously Russell? You think VIA should serve Wilson County? Im for less govt. Less taxes. All we need is for VIA to be allowed to add to our sales tax like they do Bexar County, no thanks. We already have the alamo area community college district looking to get into our pockets, the last thing we need is to add VIA to the list of parasites looking to leach onto us forever.

"climate change is real. We need to drastically reduce greenhouse emissions." As usual, we construct our scientific argument like someone who drives along and sees empty beer cans, drives some more and sees an empty wine bottle, and then a mile later he sees an accident and comes to the conclusion the driver was drunk. A CO2 study was done at MIT many years ago that showed the increase of temp relative to CO2 retention requires an exponential growth in the concentration of CO2. Yet, since this is their only hammer, they keep returning to it time and again to beat their 'nail'. We've already seen that the scientists referred to above have been caught red-handed 'cooking the books'. Al Gore, as an owner of the Carbon Trading Bourse, stands to make millions so he's hardly a disinterested party. Obama re-tasked NASA to muslim outreach so we cant trust NASA's scientists as being politically independent either. NOAA? Another political tool. What I see time and again is this rush to punish those of us who have to drive to work every day. Where are functional commuter alternatives? Before the government starts punishing people for not using alternatives that don't exist, perhaps they should: 1) find out what the real causes are (solar activity?) 2) tell me what they're going to do to force China and India to 'play along' because they pollute on a mammoth scale with impunity 3) tell when I'm going to be able to take mass transit to work. 4) tell me why were spending $477.41 million annually to support Polar research centers (
) when I hear seniors screaming about cuts to healthcare? A significant part of Wilson Co. works at Lackland. IF I were to try to take VIA, I would have to first drive to Elmendorph to get to a VIA line, then ride all the way to downtown, then out to the HW90 transit center.. and then go no further because there is no connecting bus service into Lackland. So, I could spend 2 1/2 hours to get NOWHERE. IF our government were serious, it would establish an hourly commuter express to Lackland and take 1/3 of the cars off 181. Doesn't VIA get tax revenue from the state & federal government? When you go into San Antonio and spend money, isn't a portion going to VIA? Why does VIA get to blow us off? Yea, until the government stops shucking bull and starts leading by action, I think I'll keep smelling a rat.

A comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning kept Aztec's hopes alive of reaching the championship of its own tournament.
Trailing 8-3 in the bottom of the seventh with the top of the lineup due up, the Tigers (6-2) rallied to score five runs and tie the game against Espanola Valley and send it into extra innings.
Chance Justis led off the eighth inning with a standup double before Aztec loaded the bases and Curley's base hit scored Justis to give Aztec a 9-8 win.
"We kicked the ball around a bit and came out flat. We only had one run through four innings but the bats came alive in the end," said Aztec assistant coach Brett Alexander. "In the seventh, Dylan Stinson got a bloop hit and then Randy LePlatt got a base hit and it escalated from there. With two outs, Noah Frohn hit a shot in the game to tie the game at eight."
LePlatt was 3-for-5 in the game with a home run and a double.
Tanner Moore was 2-for-4 in the game and Stinson was 3-for-5.
Alexander was happy to see the fight in the Tigers in the seventh inning when the team trailed by five runs.
"We have a different feeling than we have had in the past. The kids have no quit, and they are learning to play for one another," he said. "It is nice to see early in the season them come up with their last at bats and tie it up. You don't want to be in that situation too many times, but it is good to see we put ourselves in the position and we got out of it."
Aztec will play Moriarty in the championship game of the Aztec tournament at 4:30 p.
m. today.
The Pintos also came from behind late in their game against Cortez, Colo., scoring five runs in the bottom of the seventh to win.
"We have taken third the last two years in our tournament. It will be nice to actually play in front of our home crowd for a 4:30 p.m. game in the championship," Alexander said.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher appears to have violated Minnesota state law and perhaps the Constitution by inviting county residents holding gun-carry permits to a fundraiser for charities — including religious groups — aiding the homeless, a state official and a law professor said Wednesday.
The names of such permit holders are private, and state law that "details how that data can be used and shared doesn't include fundraising," said Laurie Beyer-Kropuenske, director of the state Department of Administration's Information Policy Analysis Division.
On the surface, the letter seems to violate the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Beyer-Kropuenske said. Willful violation is a misdemeanor.
Joseph Olson, a Hamline University law professor and president of the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, said he also thinks Fletcher's use of his official position and official stationery to solicit money for private religious charities violates the First Amendment separation of church and state.
Fletcher said he did not violate state law or the Constitution. "There's always one Ebenezer Scrooge in every town," he said.
About 65 people attended the fundraiser Dec. 12-13, which raised roughly $10,000, Fletcher said. The letter invited people with handgun-carry permits to shoot at the sheriff's office indoor shooting range and compete against the office's management team.
He said the "response was overwhelmingly positive" and his office received no complaints.
The sheriff said the letter did not violate the Data Practices Act because the information about who had a permit to carry a gun was not transmitted to anyone other than the permit holders themselves.
The sheriff's office is always involved in fundraising during the holiday season, Fletcher said. He said the idea this year was to add a second prong — improving public safety.
"While many people are proficient and shoot on a regular basis, there are a certain percentage of people who aren't familiar with their handgun," he said. "We wanted to give them an opportunity to come to the range and reacquaint themselves with their handgun."
Fletcher said he was confident he had not violated the Constitution. The five charities were selected because they are the major organizations addressing homelessness in Ramsey County, Fletcher said.
The groups were: Catholic Charities, which runs the Dorothy Day Center in St. Paul; Union Gospel Mission; YWCA of St. Paul, whose money was earmarked for a transitional housing program for single mothers; the Family Place, a day center for the homeless; and SafeZone, which benefits homeless kids.
Fletcher's letter began: "Home foreclosures and 'sheriff sales' in Ramsey County have more than quadrupled in the past three years. Hundreds of families in our community are now homeless and many more are at risk. Organizations serving the homeless have been overwhelmed by the needs of these displaced families. As the weather turns colder, the demands upon the emergency shelter organizations will only increase. Those unable to find housing will be forced to seek shelter on the streets." There have been about 3,000 foreclosures a year in Ramsey County for the last two years, Fletcher said.
"Our hearts go out to those people who are losing their homes," Fletcher said in the letter. "In many cases, owners of rental properties are being foreclosed on and not notifying their tenants. There are many families that are surprised when they're kicked out of their rental property."
The suggested fundraiser donation was $150, payable to one of the five charities. Representatives of three of the five charities reached Wednesday said the sheriff's office had delivered checks from individual donors to them Tuesday, and they hadn't been aware of the fundraiser beforehand.
Gail Gisi, Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities director of communications, said her group received a check for nearly $3,500.
"It was a blessing for us because the numbers that we're sleeping overnight are increasing," she said Wednesday. "Last night, there were close to 25 people on cots in the chapel because the emergency dorms are all filled. We're not turning anyone away."
Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, who is expected to be elected chairwoman when the commission reconvenes in January, said Fletcher's letter and the fundraiser raise questions. But she said she'll await advice from the county attorney's office before making any conclusions.
Reinhardt said Fletcher didn't appear to release nonpublic information.
Lonn Haas, a St. Paul resident who said he received the letter from Fletcher, said he thought the fundraiser was a good cause.
"But it seemed pretty clear to me that it was a misuse of the database," he said. "It was kind of annoying that he would use what's supposed to be private data for a non-official use."
Haas didn't attend the fundraiser. He wrote a letter to Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner, and copied Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson, asking them to look into the matter, including clarifying whether Fletcher violated the Data Practices Act and inquiring who decides what "official business" is.
Assistant Ramsey County Attorney Darwin Lookingbill said nothing in the Data Practices Act gives the county attorney's office the authority to investigate complaints and his office represents the sheriff's office, so they don't give legal advice to the general public. Lookingbill said Fletcher didn't consult him before sending out the letter; he declined comment beyond that.
St. Paul City Attorney John Choi, whose office prosecutes misdemeanor offenses, said he hadn't received any complaints about the letter potentially violating the Data Practices Act.
A citizen sent an e-mail to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Dec. 4, asking how Fletcher could use a state database to solicit donations. The BCA responded that Fletcher used his office's own information and not the state database.
The e-mailer, whose name was redacted by officials, then questioned how Fletcher could maintain his own records, contending that state law didn't allow him to keep a "personal" database. Fletcher said nothing in the law suggests sheriff's offices shouldn't know who it had issued permits to.
The BCA responded that the e-mailer could contact the state's Information Policy Analysis Division if he or she wanted an advisory opinion, which can address whether a data subject's rights were violated. Beyer-Kropuenske said her office hasn't received a request for such an opinion on Fletcher's letter.
Individuals who feel their rights have been harmed by a violation of the Data Practices Act can also file lawsuits, Beyer-Kropuenske said.
David Gross, a Faribault, Minn.-based lawyer who started the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance with Olson in 1988, said he was disturbed Fletcher "couldn't even spot the numerous ethical and legal issues that he thinks good intentions and charitable works override."
Asked to respond to Gross' statement, Fletcher said, "Mr. Gross should come with our deputies when they evict families out into the streets before he renders any ethical judgments."
Dave Orrick contributed to this report.

GREEN EGGS AND PLAN (With Apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration Weekend event is held at the company's extraordinary Cliff May (building) and Thomas Church (garden) designed campus and brings the pages of the magazine to life with gardening, cooking, and design demonstrations. I got a preview of the latest Sunset Idea Cottage made from two of Modern Cabana by Blu Homes's prefabricated units. All the wood is FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council). Here's a shot of it with Modern Cabana co-owner Nick Damner on the ladder making some final adjustments.
Two Modern Cabana structures — a 12 by 25-foot kitchen/living unit and a 10 by 16-foot sleeping unit — are joined by a deck designed by Sunset building guru Peter Whiteley. The cottage is a variation on the "Getaway That Grows" mentioned in the last posting.
It's cool, contemporary, and crisp, even in this premature view! The furniture is by CB2.
Take-away ideas include what I would call "wall planter trays" from Flora Grubb Gardens, shown below,
(note the wire hangers at the top) and a shade-and-outdoor lighting-structure made by Peter out of woven willow branches (from The Willow Farm) and light strings, below:
Many thousands of visitors will throng the event so get there early, and be sure to meet Honey and Ophelia, Sunset's celebrity chickens who were part of a story called "The One Block Diet" developed by Food Editor Margo True and her team. The story recently won a prestigious James Beard Journalism Award.
Everyone's clucking about it and some are still wearing their medals.
There, now you see why the title of this posting included eggs. And because I'm just a ham.

Microsoft Team Traces Malicious Users
Page 2 of 2
The researchers also created a way to automatically blacklist traffic from a particular IP address, once the HostTracker system has determined that the host at that address is compromised. Using this method in simulation, the researchers were able to block malicious traffic with an error rate of five percent–in other words, 5 out of 100 IP addresses classified as malicious were actually legitimate. Using additional information to identify good user behavior reduced that false-positive rate to less than one percent.
The results suggest that HostTracker would be a good way to refine the current way of defending against distributed denial-of-service attacks and spam campaigns, says Gunter Ollmann, vice president of research and development at Damballa, a firm that helps companies find and eliminate compromised hosts in a computer network.
"Using this technique will help find botnets that have a high frequency of traffic, such as spam campaigns, DDoS attacks, and maybe click-through attacks," Ollmann says. "Other attacks, such as password-stealing and banking trojans, where the attack is more host-centric–this sort of technique would not be as effective."
Xie acknowledges that while the technique is useful for creating lists of hosts to track, it may be less useful for law enforcement agencies attempting to identify the attackers behind online crime. "The accountability we are talking about is not court accountability," she says. "We want to separate the two notions. The accountability that we are talking about is the ability to identify the hosts."

Stress is probably the greatest age-accelerating precipitator there is.
As a dermatologist, I can also unequivocally state that stress is also the precipitator of a great many skin problems; in fact, these problems often have their very roots in the psyche.
This can include everything from acne to eczema, rosacea to psoriasis and worse. Unfortunately normal day-to-day interactions with our partners and children can be stressful – no matter how much we love them. Of all of the physical conditions we experience, stress is also the most deadly.
Many circumstances create stress in our daily lives. Arguing with family, friends or colleagues, not getting enough sleep, worrying, working too hard, or even playing too hard can all create stress. Weekend warriors, who try to make up for a week of inactivity by spending hours engaged in strenuous physical sports, raise their stress levels to an unhealthy degree. Any activity that is practiced without moderation can lead to a stress response.
To help reduce the negative effects of stress, I recommend following the anti-inflammatory diet and taking targeted anti-inflammatory nutritional supplements (I've recommended a few below). I also suggest implementing these simple strategies:

This is my skinning tutorial. Before start, make sure you have:
- Killing floor SDK
- DXTBmp
- Editor (photoshop, paint.net, gimp)
Step 1. Launch SDK and choose skin you want to edit. After that, export DDS file to your hard drive.
Step 2. Now you have a dds file on your hard drive. Launch DXTBmp and open dds file. After that, you should select editor and send to editor (this function will launch your editor and import DDS texture into it).
Step 3. Edit your texture. After that, you must save your texture as .dds file with same name (for example, "Steampunk_Commando_D.dds").
Step 4. Launch SDK, open your skin (from first step), and press import (import edited dds file from hard drive). Check "Alpha" and press ok.
Step 5. Now you have to save your .utx file. You must use different name.
Final step. Go to Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System folder. Find a upl file with name of your skin (for example, "Steampunk_Commando"). Open this file with txt editor and find "BodySkin". Copy name of the texture you edited after "BodySkin=" and save file (last screenshot). Thats all, go to game.
If you have a "shiny skin" in game, go to step 4, select first file (_CMB), right click and select properties, locate the CombineOperation. Click and select CO_Use_Color_From_Material1. Close that window and save edited file.

Mod Review on Aug 20th, 2013 - 2 people don't
The wide range of vehicles are impressive, and the mod is well half-polished.

text: Ravens Win Super Bowl, 34-31 They survive power outage at Superdome to beat 49ers By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Feb 3, 2013 5:51 PM CST | Updated Feb 3, 2013 9:46 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (18) (Newser) – The Baltimore Ravens are your Super Bowl champions with a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It was a crazy second half: The lights in the Superdome went out for about a half-hour early in the third quarter with Baltimore up 28-6. (Maybe Beyonce's halftime show used up too much juice?) After the power came back on, the 49ers took over the game—but failed to convert a fourth-and-goal in the final 2 minutes that would have given them the lead. (The score was 34-29 at that point, so a field goal was out of of the question.) The win means Ravens coach John Harbaugh bested his brother, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. QB Joe Flacco was MVP. Bleacher Report has all the details. More interested in the ads? Yahoo Sports rounds up winners and losers here. Salon's game blog rounds up a little bit of everything here. Before the game, the Sandy Hook chorus earned "plenty of awwws" on Twitter, while Alicia Keys took a "loooong time" with the national anthem, notes the Washington Post game blog.

Cosy coffee-house with cafe vibe
What we say:
The expansive list of European food and a smattering of Indonesian favourites is a pleasant surprise for a restaurant in an Indonesian city not reliant on the trade of foreigners. For main course, the salmon steak is hard to go past as are the variety of pasta dishes. If you're craving something sweet the dessert menu offers a fantastic mousse as well some decent cakes.
The ground floor isn't at all spacious, but long wooden tables located upstairs provide ample room for those with large families. The most comfortable spots in the house are the three lounge areas where you can sit on the floor with cushions at your back -- the knee-height artisan wooden tables are a real treat. The dimly-lit and semi open-air space with Balinese-style wooden interior creates a cosy atmosphere that invites you to hang out for hours sipping coffee, gulping beer, or even imbibing wine by the carafe.
This place might be tucked in off the main road in Cihampelas, but it's certainly worth a look if you're craving a drink and some fine food. A cab from the centre of town should cost 20,000 rupiah.

Jesse Jeffers talks about the vandals who damaged the interior and exterior of the trailer he calls home in Pace because he is gay.
- Filed Under
In the early morning hours of Feb. 3, Jesse Jeffers, 18, was pulling up to his mobile home trailer in Pace when his boyfriend told him to look up.
Spray paint covered much of the front of his Charles Court home. But it wasn't random lines and symbols - swastikas and anti-gay slurs were painted in red on the white surface.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office has deemed the vandalism a hate crime because it targets Jeffers' sexual orientation. Only a few hate-crime cases are reported each year in Santa Rosa County, sheriff's Sgt. Scott Haines said. ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn.,
Nov. 15, 1995
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee are uniting to form the Joint Institute for Molecular-Based Engineering and Science (JIMBES).
The institute will serve as a focal point for government, industry and academic research and development based on new molecular-level approaches.
Molecular-level computational techniques and neutron and X-ray scattering techniques developed by ORNL and UT allow researchers to apply physical and biological sciences in the development of new products and processes. Their novel approach utilizes ORNL's powerful Intel Paragon supercomputer and the Small Angle Neutron Scattering facility.
With the Paragon, researchers can perform molecular simulations of complex systems important to engineering and science but previously beyond the reach of computation. The neutron scattering facility enables researchers to perform molecule-level experiments that complement their calculations.
The joint institute brings together chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, biologists and computer scientists to use these techniques to tackle the most demanding problems at the forefront of basic research and industrial practice. It also takes advantage of the special facilities and full-time staff of ORNL with the open research environment and distinguished faculty and staff of UT.
"The establishment of the Joint Institute for Molecular-Based Engineering and Science will enable the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to leverage their complementary research capabilities, facilities and funding opportunities to enable them to undertake projects that otherwise would not be feasible," said Peter T. Cummings, distinguished professor of Chemical Engineering at UT and a distinguished scientist in ORNL's Chemical Technology Division.
Researchers plan to study various properties of materials - naturally occurring and synthetic - at a level of detail and sophistication previously unimaginable. This information could ultimately help U.S. industry test and develop new materials more quickly and efficiently.
"The joint institute clears a path for ORNL and UT to be in the forefront of the anticipated revolution in engineering and science these computational and scattering capabilities will bring about," said Hank D. Cochran of ORNL's Chemical Technology Division.
A one-day symposium Oct. 9 in Oak Ridge served as a prelude to the establishment of JIMBES. The symposium featured Cummings and Cochran, who described their new molecular-based approach to performing engineering and science.
Other notable participants in the symposium included Dr. Ken Dill of the University of California (San Francisco); Dr. Paul Mathias of Air Products and Chemicals, Allentown, Pa.; and a number of distinguished speakers from Oak Ridge and UT. Dill, a professor in the University of California's Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, is one of the world's foremost experts in molecular simulation modeling of protein folding. Mathias is a leading industrial proponent of this modern molecular-based approach.
ORNL, one of DOE's multiprogram national research and development facilities, is managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, which also manages the Oak Ridge K-25 Site and the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant.
For more information about JIMBES, call Cochran (865) 574-6821, Cummings (865) 974-0227, or check out the page on the World Wide Web at http://flory.engr.utk.edu/ldrd/w.html.

DODGERS OWNERS LOVE TO RECEIVE COX-ARQUETTE PAD: Frank and Jamie McCourt are changing addresses, as the Dodgers owners are buying a house from Courteney Cox & David Arquette:
The cliff-top Malibu mansion is exchanging hands for a price tag of over $30 million, three times the amout the Cox-Arquettes put down on the place six years ago.
However, this isn't David's first brush with someone in the sporting world. In 2000, he became involved with World Championship Wrestling, and actually won the WCW heavyweight championship. Within a year, the company was out of business.
But the McCourts should be satisfield with their purchase, as Cox had gushed about it's "stunning views and total privacy." Besides, if the new digs don't work out, Frank can always turn it into a parking lot.

Lake View seniors are in an end-of-the year frenzy
With only three weeks left for Lake View High School seniors, end-of-the-year activities are reaching a peak.
A look at the day planner for Student Council President Rachel Price reveals a calendar full of events.
On May 4, representatives from Jostens were on campus for the final full day to deliver graduation announcements. On that day, Advanced Placement examinations began in the high school library with several AP government exams being administered.
Advanced Placement exams in computer science and Spanish language were given May 5. That evening, athletes gathered at the Angelo State University Davidson Center for their annual spring banquet.
May 6 began with an 8 a.m. senior assembly in which soon-to-be graduates received their instruction booklet containing everything they must know about graduation. While seniors met, the Advanced Placement Calculus exam was held in the library.
The day ended with the first annual MORP (prom spelled backward) activities. In a rowdy game of jungle volleyball, the mighty seniors men took on the junior boys in the gym. Following the game, senior women met their junior classmates in Power Puff football game held at the LVHS stadium. Members of the LVHS Chieftain Band were on hand to lend a game-day excitement to every play, and half time entertainment was provided by a rather strange looking group of "LVHS cheerleaders." By rather strange, I mean a steady eye would have recognized many male athletes dressed in the traditional cheerleader uniforms as they performed a special dance number for the crowd.
The English Literature Advanced Placement exam were given on Thursday, and the U.S. History exam and Studio Art exams followed on Friday.
Friday morning, the English IV Dual Credit seniors of Miriam Hickey gave their novella presentation in the school library. Chiefette Dance Team tryouts were held Friday evening in the gym.
The Cactus Hotel was the site for the Junior-Senior Prom Saturday. Members of the junior class honored seniors with an evening of "underwater beauty" following the theme of Neptune's Treasures. Surrounded by gossamer sheets of blue "water" and giant underwater scenes, seniors and juniors danced the evening away waiting for the coronation of the prom court.
The choir held the final concert of the season Monday, and the Chieftain Band performs for the last time this year at the River Stage tonight. Back on campus tonight, the JROTC cadets and instructors were to hold their annual awards evening.
On Wednesday, members of the band, choir, and orchestra will be boarding chartered buses to begin their trip to Disneyland. Members of the groups have held various fund raisers all year long to pay for the trip. They will return to San Angelo on Monday, the first of the District's two "bad weather days" that are built into the school calendar.
May 19 features the annual Academic Awards Assembly held in the Herschal Duckworth Auditorium at 7 p.m. Department chairmen will present awards and guests will award a variety of scholarships. The evening will end with the presentation of the Top 10 students as well as the valedictorian and the salutatorian.
The Top Ten students will be honored again on May 20 at the Rotary Club Awards Banquet, where the top 20 students from Central and Lake View are presented each year.
On May 22, seniors will return to their elementary campuses for the annual senior luncheons.
Everyone has one more day off May 25 for the second bad weather day which coincides with Memorial Day this year. The following day, seniors will begin their last round of high school semester finals, followed by the all-day senior picnic at Brown's Swimming Pool on May 29.
The final practice for graduation will take place in the San Angelo Coliseum at 10 a.m. May 30, and seniors will return to the Coliseum at 4 p.m. to get ready for the opening chorus of "Pomp and Circumstance," which will signal the beginning of their last walk together as LVHS students. When the evening is over, they will have received their diplomas, turned their tassels and tossed their mortar boards into the air to celebrate the end of their public school years and the beginning of many new journeys.
Chad Kretschmer is a junior at Lake View High School. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We have a treat for all you theatre lovers today with a review of Billy Elliot: The Musical from our Marketing Executive Lisa ...
I was given tickets for Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London for my birthday this year, and what a treat it was!
I've watched the film many times so was very aware of the politics and culture of Billy's upbringing, both of which make the Billy Elliot story even more poignant. The story is based in north east of England during the bleak times of the coal miners' strikes in the 1980s. Privatisation by the new Conservative Government had a major impact on rural industries, particularly mining. Men were tough and generations of males were expected to follow their families down the coal pit. Billy Elliot had other ideas. After spying a ballet class after his boxing class, he slowly started to realise that he wanted to be a ballet dancer. However, he knew that this would be met with tough opposition from his father and elder brother, both striking coal miners. Billy defied the odds with determination and was accepted for a prestigious ballet school. His chosen career was finally accepted by his father and brother.
Seeing the story translated from film to stage was captivating and songs had to be created to turn the story into a musical, a major difference from the film. The costume and set design was brilliant and captured the era perfectly. I remember the strikes as a child as generations of my family were coal miners and the story is a brilliant representation of the hard times they experienced.
There are four boys who take turns to play Billy at different shows. Josh Baker, Ryan Collinson, Adam Vesperman and Kaine Ward - superb in the one we saw - and I have no doubt the the acting and dancing is sensational in every performance. How these young people can dance and act on stage in front of these packed audiences night after night is nothing short of brilliant. There were more laughs than I remember from the film but it was very much in keeping with the characters of the north east.
A definite recommend – and it's right beside Victoria train and tube station!

Steelers face unanswered questions at camp
Steelers/NFL Videos
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did not try to temper his excitement for the start of the team's 42nd training camp at St. Vincent College near Latrobe.
"I love the process of team building," said Tomlin, who guided the Steelers to a 10-6 record and an AFC North title last year, his first season. "I love going to camp."
The Steelers must answer several questions before they break camp Aug. 18:
• Can the players ignore the potential distraction of team Chairman Dan Rooney's effort to gain controlling interest in the team as his four brothers ponder selling their shares to an outside buyer• Each of the five Rooney brothers owns 16 percent of the team.
"They said that it's family business, Rooney business, so I'll let them handle that," Tomlin said. "The task that's before me is to prepare this team to play football, and that's what I intend to do."
• How will Tomlin respond to the pressure of a second season while playing the NFL's toughest schedule• Eight of the team's 13 opponents made the playoffs last season.
• Will the offensive line that allowed 47 sacks during the regular season improve• The Steelers start camp with Chris Kemoeatu replacing Pro Bowl left guard Alan Faneca, who left for the New York Jets via free agency. Max Starks and Willie Colon fight for the job at right tackle while free agent center Justin Hartwig attempts to unseat starter Sean Mahan.
The Steelers will trim their stay at St. Vincent to three weeks due in part to smaller roster sizes and Tomlin's familiarity with the players in his second year. The NFL has limited teams to 80 players in camp, down from 86 last year.
"Not to say that it will be easy," Tomlin said of training camp. "It will never be easy, but it will be different."
