text: Hi Alessandra, I teach high school and college males. I also mentor boys from grades 5 -12. The majority of the boys I serve are not interested in school and are failing more than one subject. Yes, I feel as though they are less social. Many have poor peer relationships and prefer to communicate via a smartphone or computer. I have definitely seen an increase in the use of aggressive behaviors to resolve disputes with peers and adults.

I am creating a web interface for an old piece of software running on an Access 2000 DB. There is no support for the Entity Framework Model for Access. Is there a way of making a connection to work with breeze?
Try to use Ado.net, there is no support from breeze to Access http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/mimrantaj/connect-to-access-database-in-C-Sharp-and-ado-net/
I like your idea of putting EF in front of SQL Server express. But if that doesn't work out, your only serious impediment is finding a way to expose access to your Access (chuckle) over HTTP.
Have you got that figured out? Maybe Web API? Because once you figure that out, it will be "easy".
You do NOT need EF for Breeze clients. EF is a convenient technology for many .NET developers ... but not everyone. All Breeze really cares about is the data.
You will need to get some some metadata describing your service model (meaning whatever you expose as client-facing objects in your HTTP service). You can produce that in many ways. EF is one way (it's easy) but you can also do it in JavaScript.

Activision expects Call of Duty to be biggest selling game
By: Nathan P. Gibson
October 17, 2013 - 5:59 CDT
In an interview with MCV, Activision explain how they believe they can beat Grand Theft Auto V's sales records.
During an exclusive interview with MCV Kevin Flynn, a senior manager at Activision, stated that he believed that the Call of Duty franchise would be able to break the sales records set by Grand Theft Auto V in September. He went on to say:
"We look forward to getting the record back before the next GTA title."
Activision also congratulated Rockstar on their success so far. You may remember how a couple of weeks ago we spoke about Grand Theft Auto V broke all the sales records for video games, achieving a massive $1billion of sales in just three days.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is set to release on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Wii U in November. It is being developed by Infinity Ward who have been responsible for the Modern Warfare games in the series. We've previously reported on some of the new maps and game modes that are coming to the game.
Do you think Ghosts will be able to surpass the success of GTA V?

This old rose has bloomed wonderfully in my coastal zone 9b garden. She got much larger than I anticipated in the mild climate, and even tolerated heavy clay soil. The blooms are smokey purple, exceedingly hard to photograph, and smother the bush in May and June. Her canes grew straight up to 6'+ the first year. I wrapped them around a 2' circle of rebar stakes which kept her to 3' wide in bloom and 6' tall, and she responded great and threw out probably thousands of blooms, 3-6 in a cluster, opening in succession over 6-8 weeks. If I had more space I would self peg in a fountain shape and she'd be probably 4' tall x 6' wide for me. A stellar performer and I highly recommend.

Additional Information
About Micro Start/AFDThis loan is administered by Micro Start/AFD, Kiva's first Field Partner in Burkina Faso. Micro Start/AFD's mission is to improve families' living conditions in general, and those of women in particular, by facilitating access to financial and non-financial services.
Micro Start/AFD is a professional microfinance institution offering financial services, advice, and training. One of the organization's principal aims is to collect obligatory and voluntary savings that foster clients' financial independence. Micro Start/AFD also focuses on building female entrepreneurs' skills in management and business administration and improving the living conditions in its clients' communities. More information can be found on Micro Start's Kiva Field Partner Page.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

- " Enjoyed our stay, had a wonderful visit. Only recommendation - being earplugs and sleep mask. Our room faced the light rail, bells and whistles went off every 5.5 minutes all night long. Facilities were great. Very clean. If you rent a car make sure you get parking early in afternoon or evening. By 9p it was full up. Plenty of street parking but car had to be moved by 9a. Overall, enjoyed our stay. "

Welcome to the PVVH family.
Great News!!!!!!

To the most amazing (and most loyal) customers any Veterinary Hospital could ever ask for:
I already heard a few people asking if the new building means that prices will start going up and we will turn into every other veterinary office. The answer, "quite the opposite". The entire reason for the new office is to allow us to see more pets and keep our prices down. Our current foot print put is in a position where we could not grow any further, and as such, we would have had to raise prices to make ends meet. We chose unequivocally against that. We are moving to a larger place to keep our prices lower - and all we ask of you is that you spread the word as loudly as you can about us. We are here to help, we strive to keep costs as reasonable as we can, but to do that - we rely on being busy. Since the budget doesn't allow for paid advertising - we count on our awesome clients advertising us by word of mouth... and we wouldn't be growing if you all didn't believe in and support us.
I would also be concerned if I was a customer about customer service. The goal as we make this transition is to improve our customer experience. We have always struggled - as a smaller practice keeping costs down - with the customer experience. We hope the new building and some changes to our phone system will make things run even smoother and hopefully get us to the point I would like our customer care to be. Our primary concern is and always will be your animals, but part of us being us will always be looking at what to improve next.
I wanted to reach out and let you all know how much Gwen and I appreciate you - and that we would never raise prices on you because of a new fancy building. We are setting out to keep improving and my hope is that with your help we will be able to grow rapidly and make the new office a success.... we are counting on you all to spread the word just like you count on us to take care of your critters. And we appreciate each and every one of you... and your furry family members.

You point it to an operating system and that tells it how it will behave and what it is going to run. In that model, you can run traditional network operating systems, or you can run Linux-style implementations, you can run OpenFlow if you want.

- All Those People With Cheap Android Phones Have Started Buying Apps (Quartz) — revenue generated by the Google Play Store, from which many Android users get their apps, has grown 67% over the past half-year. By contrast, Apple's App Store revenue grew 15%, according to Distimo estimates, which cover the top 18 countries. That sounds less impressive if you consider that the App Store brought in twice as much revenue in absolute terms. But the numbers are shifting fast. In February, the App Store was generating three times as much revenue, and last November it out-earned Google Play by a factor of four. Google is gaining.

Pseudo Memetics, Top Pinch or Bottom Pinch, Innovation Cartography, and Awesome Compilation Hackery
- Anatomy of Two Memes — comparing the spread of Gangnam Style to Harlem Shake. Memes are like currencies: you need to balance accessibility (or 'money supply') and inflation. Gangnam Style became globally accessible through top-down mainstream sources (High Popularity), but this gave it high social inflation so it wasn't valuable to share (Low Shareability). However, scale sustained its long term growth. Harlem Shake was not as easily accessible because it was driven more by small communities (Low Popularity), but for the same reason, being less easily accessible, it remained highly valuable (High Shareability). Lack of scale was what made Harlem Shake growth short-term and eventually killed it prematurely. Caution: contains fauxconomics.

Every now and then it triggers my mod_throttle rules (too many pages accessed by one IP in a given time frame). I then return a 503 error code. But it just carries on pounding away, ignoring that for hundreds more pages...
Of course, none of the tens of thousands of pages it grabs per day are indexed yet. It just has one page from the site in the SERPS, a holding page from many months ago.
A key to the search engine wars is comprehesive, fresh results. They seem to be trying a bit hard for the first part of that, and failing totally on the second part.

Collusion and Financial Leverage: An Analysis of the Integrated Mill Steel Industry
Lord, Richard A., Farr, W. Ken, Financial Management
We show that firms can design their capital structure to provide a publicly observable indication of compliance with a collusive agreement. We develop two empirically testable hypotheses based on this argument and test these propositions on data for seven integrated mill steel firms. Our study period covers years when prices were overtly coordinated under the basing point pricing system and after the demise of the system. Empirical tests confirm the hypotheses that leverage is positively related to both price elasticity of demand and the level of convertibles outstanding during the years after the collapse of the basing point pricing system.
Since the Modigliani and Miller (1958) study, one of the central issues in financial economics is why and how firms choose specific capital structures. Ravid (1988) reviews a number of studies that focus on product market conditions and financial decisions, yet Harris and Raviv (1991) indicate a serious lack of research relating financial leverage to the nature of the firm's product market.
Maksimovic (1988) suggests that leverage can be used to effectively maintain collusion. First, he defines the general conditions and motivations that make it possible and desirable for oligopolists that have only equity in their capital structure to engage in collusion. He then shows that when a firm is partially financed with nonconvertible debt, there is a discernable ceiling on leverage that is a positive function of a firm's price elasticity of demand. This ceiling provides a publicly observable gauge that the colluding firms can use to judge compliance with a collusive agreement. The firms that do not exceed the threshold indicate their intention to abide by the compact. Firms that exceed the ceiling send the opposite message, thus jeopardizing the continuing existence of the cartel. Brander and Lewis (1986, 1988) and Stenbacka (1994) outline similar approaches to Maksimovic.
We extend Maksimovic's model to show that the use of convertible securities in place of nonconvertible debt permits a firm to exceed the industry's debt ceiling and still demonstrate compliance with the agreement. This is possible because the conversion options attached to the debt allow bondholders to share in gains the stockholders would realize by deviating from the collusive arrangement. The extent to which debt can be increased above the ceiling is a positive function of the number of shares of common stock obtained after exchange of the convertible securities.
If we assume that firms use capital structure to indicate compliance with a collusive arrangement, the theoretical arguments imply two empirically testable hypotheses. The first is that leverage should vary positively in response to changes in the price elasticity of demand. The second is that leverage should be a positive function of the number of new equity shares created if bondholders were to exercise all their convertible security options.
We test both of these hypotheses using data that measure financial leverage, price elasticity of demand, and convertible security usage for seven domestic integrated mill steel firms. Our sample period is 1947 through 1980. These firms comprise a relatively concentrated sector of the American steel industry and are considered to have maintained some type of collusive arrangement throughout this entire period. We find the steel industry especially interesting since there is continuing uncertainty about how it was able to maintain collusion after 1959, when the US Steel Corporation's overtly collusive formal price leadership, the basing point pricing system, collapsed. This sample provides an opportunity to examine firm behavior towards collusion before and after the breakdown of this system. We anticipate that prior to the demise of basing point pricing, subtle forms of collusion would not have been necessary, given the strong position held by US Steel. However, in the following years, we anticipate that firms operating in the industry used and maintained some form of tacit collusion. …

So you have your rugged look and your off-road-capable truck, but if you think that that is the only thing you need to complete the kick-ass package, then you must think again and consider installing new fender flares. Fender flares are a popular accessory for creating an aggressive appearance for an off-road vehicle. But aside from that function, they also add protection for your truck's body and allow you to use larger wheels. Imagine that by spending a few hundred dollars, you will be able to create a totally upgraded look for your truck or van. If you can picture your buddy with those complementary flares, then make that imagining real by getting units from EGR. But before buying them, let us first see if they are really worth the money.
- With an inch of tire coverage
- Made of UV-resistant thermoplastic
- Has an easy-to-clean, lightly textured finish
- Custom-designed unit
- Paintable
- Requires no-drill installation
- Carries a lifetime EGR limited warranty
We tested this component on a Jeep Wrangler and a Toyota Tacoma, and here is what we have to say:
Thumbs up
- Installing the fender flares took only fifteen minutes for each truck. The only challenging part was removing the old fenders because they had old bolts that were a bit rusted. After that, we bolted the new ones on without any difficulty.
- The component was well-constructed and solid. It had a well-done textured finish, and we were able to paint it with the same color as the Wrangler and the Tacoma.
- After the installation of the four fender flares on the Wrangler and the Tacoma, we took a few steps away to appreciate their new look. We enjoyed the rugged look those fender flares added to the trucks. The dents where the bolts were inserted created some sort of accent.
- In order to check the fit of the fender flares, we tugged on them by hand. They stuck there glued without creating a squeaking sound that would indicate loose fasteners and an incorrect fit.
Thumbs down
- The lack of clear installation instructions made it a bit confusing for us to install each piece. We did not know which piece must go with what side of the truck. Also, we had quite a challenge on installing the rubber edge part and the one-piece mounting clamps of the component.
The verdict
Generally, EGR fender flares are popular among truck owners. They are priced just right and come with an amazing warranty. Experienced users will definitely have an easier time in installing the component, but once you overcome that difficulty, you will definitely enjoy looking and driving your truck more.

I'll meet at the flats Saturday morning. Someone heading to the flats, please call or txt to say when and where: four four zero two nine two seven zero nine four.
Just got to the hotel. Crashing. See you all at Dolly & Johns at 0900.
Lee and Sue too.
Here's hoping that you all are having a good time. My wife told me last night at 9:00 PM that "I ought to go anyway," (even though my car has become unreliable. I wonder what I did to irritate her? Well, what else did I do?) I explained that it is a five hour drive and that I'd get there at 2:00 AM, assuming that I got there at all, and would be up four or five hours later to catch early light and didn't that seem like a lot for what one would hope to be a relaxing weekend? She stared at me, then repeated that she thought I ought to go anyway.
I've got to figure out why she wants me dead all of a sudden. I wonder whether she took out more insurance on me?
Anyway, I went to a local industrial park which just started when the economy crashed. They'd put in the streets, street lights and fire hydrants then the whole thing died. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and I had a great time and think I may have gotten at least a couple of good photos. I hope that all of you had at least as good of a day!
ps: the car ran fine all day.
I had a great time being able to shoot! I also realized I need to order more developer before I can see anything I shot yesterday. But I promise to get the good ones online as soon as I can. I loved the farm museum and would love to go back there (probably several times).
You don't know the temptation, John... :)
What a turn around. As of Wednesday evening we knew of two people coming for sure. Thirteen ended up coming. Thank you. We had a bunch of fun.
Saturday, Peter, Jeff S, Dale, Chris and I shot down in the Flats. At the end of the day Peter said I looked really tired. I counted film holders and realized I had shot 16 sheets of 7x17. That be a lot for a 72 year old. Jeff S, Dorothy, Beth, Lee G and Sue G spent the day at the Farm also having a great time.
At a discussion of what we might do to make the event more attractive to new people it was suggested that we post scans of the images we made. I would be most appreciative if you who scan, would upload them here or link to some outside page. I don't do that so I am going to have to ask that others show there stuff, please.
It was suggested that we have a winter event and shoot at night out in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park over the snow and ice. The trail where we hike regularly, six miles from here, is called Horse Shoe Pond, has a several acre pond 100 feet from the parking lot. It might be a good spot. Then of course there is our 1/3 acre pond right outside the door. Sounds cold to me, but when we have a blanket of snow I will post and see who actually shows up.
Any more good ideas for events?
Thanks for coming all 13 of you who made it, and thanks for trying the several who had to cancel at the last minute.
John & Dolly
Thanks Jeff B for checking out the wiring on my plate burner. It seems to need a part. I will write Amergraph and see if they still have one. The light works well. It just needs a part to hold one of the two hoses at the vacuum motor. I can use the light and my print frame if I can't locate the part.
Jeff suggested that once I get into VanDyke production I could do a demo of that to and to our series of Alt Processes demos.

Aviation Security:
Measures for Testing the Impact of Using Commercial Data for the Secure Flight Program

Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3404
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is developing a new passenger prescreening program, known as Secure Flight. Under the Secure Flight program, TSA plans to take over, from commercial airlines, the responsibility for comparing identifying information of domestic airline passengers against information on known or suspected terrorists. TSA is also considering using commercial data as part of Secure Flight if the data are shown, through testing, to improve the results of these comparisons. In the 2005 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, Congress mandated that, prior to testing the use of commercial data for Secure Flight, TSA develop measures to assess the impacts of using commercial data on aviation security, and that GAO review the measures. In response to that mandate, we reviewed TSA's measures for commercial data testing and briefed congressional staff on January 11, 2005, on our findings. This report documents the results of our review, which we presented in that briefing.
GAO found that TSA developed a concept test to determine the utility of using commercial data for Secure Flight as a first step in determining its impact on aviation security. The results of this test are intended to provide TSA the basis for refining performance measures identifying impacts on aviation security prior to subsequent testing, should DHS and TSA decide to pursue the use of commercial data. TSA also developed initial measures for commercial data concept testing that are intended to provide information related to impacts on aviation security, including improvements in false positive and false negative rates. Next, TSA, in coordination with the contractor, plans to refine these measures during concept testing--to include the establishment of performance targets--and prior to operationally testing the system, should DHS and TSA decide to pursue the use of commercial data. TSA measures developed to date for commercial data testing do not, and were not designed to, provide information on overall Secure Flight system operations (i.e., system response time, connectivity with air carriers, security, and privacy) or identify impacts of using commercial data on aviation security in an operational environment. Accordingly, the measures do not generally reflect attributes of successful performance measures for this purpose. Additional work reviewing TSA's refined measures, should DHS and TSA decide to pursue the use of commercial data for Secure Flight, would be needed to determine if the measures are designed to identify relevant impacts on aviation security, and reflect attributes of successful performance measures for that purpose.

The public's readiness to believe the worst of its police forces is an undercurrent in the latest case (after Voodoo River) for Southern California PI Elvis Cole. Beginning with the discovery of a corpse off Mulholland Drive in suburban L.A., the plot uncovers high-level venality, advances the romance of the ever-engaging Cole with Louisiana lawyer Lucy Chenier and reveals some of the past of Joe Pike, Cole's enigmatic, seriously strange sidekick. Soon after the body of Susan Martin is found in a garbage bag, Detective Angela Rossi discovers evidence that implicates the victim's husband, wealthy mover and shaker Teddy Martin. Unfortunately, Rossi is under a cloud, having been accused of falsifying evidence in a previous case. Martin's attorney, Jonathan Green, considered one of the country's top five criminal defense attorneys, hires Cole after arriving at his office with a video and sound crew, to investigate Rossi. Though Cole's investigation clears Rossi, Green's subsequent announcement that Cole has proven her guilt, puts the PI at odds with the LAPD, forces him to examine Green's motives in the case and, finally, puts him on a course to correct the series of wrongs in the case that have prompted Lucy to observe: "The law is not about justice." $150,000 ad/promo; author tour.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
If Spenser and Hawk are the forefathers of the double-tough-guy mysteries, then Crais' Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are among their most notable offspring. Here Elvis is hired by high-profile attorney Jonathan Green to investigate the death of Susan Martin, wife of megamillionaire Teddy Green. The defense is basing its case on the Mark Fuhrman^-like theory that evidence was planted at the scene by Detective Angela Rossi, a fallen star in the LAPD who could use a celebrity conviction as her ticket back to the fast track. Elvis and Joe are pleased when their efforts show Rossi worked by the book, but attorney Green puts his own spin on the data. When the people Elvis contacted begin dying, he senses something is terribly wrong. This hip, funny, and thought-provoking novel will delight Crais' growing legion of fans, and the fist-shaking, high-fiving conclu sion offers at least the hope of ultimate justice when our system fails.

What does everyone think?
You see two lines for each month:
One is for the day your payment is sent for the previous month's earnings, shown with a ($) around the figure.
The second is for the total earnings for that month, showing with the date of the last day of the month.
You can click on each for further details.
The thing that caught my eye the most is the "Payment Type: Check" when you click the payment details. Might just be a sign of future payment options to come ;)
It might be a rollout release, where it takes a few hours for it to show up in everyone's account.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be rolling out an updated Payment History page to our publishers. Look for a cleaner page that provides a quick snapshot of payment and earnings information - for detailed invoices, click the Earnings line item for any month. Monthly invoices will include earnings and adjustment information for your AdSense for content and/or AdSense for search account. Rest assured that your earnings will not be affected in any way.
Last time something got rolled out in the accounts, I was one of the last in the group to see the changes. I must have been in the right group this time ;)
The thing that caught my eye the most is the "Payment Type: Check" when you click the payment details. Might just be a sign of future payment options to come
Made me smile at the mix of languages on mine
Payment Type: Check
Cheque Date: 25-Jan-2005
You would think one of those PhD's could speak the Queens English ;)
Interestingly, it is no longer showing the January earnings payment as approved, the last entry is for the last day of January for the monthly earnings.
hehe...so you noticed that too. So we will no longer know when they cut the check or maybe it will show back up.
[edited by: The_Contractor at 9:32 pm (utc) on Feb. 23, 2005]
I would much rather see implementation of any of the substantive feature requests discussed on this forum than these UI twiddles.
Then again maybe they just don't need to tell us when it is approved...the check date should be good enough. It could be in preparation for the different payment methods..(she grins from ear to ear).
Personally whatever they do is alright, they give more information about the actual "payment" than most affiliate programs. Usually it just shows up in the mail!

I guess though, if you say brought the hard-copy versions from Waterstones, WHSmith (if they stocked them) or an Independent bookshop, you'll no doubt pay full price which then makes In Tempests Wake a bargain! But who actually buys books from bricks and mortar shops anymore?
Those prices are all ebook prices.

A new poll shows a close race between Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke.
The Marquette law school poll released Monday says 47 percent of registered voters would vote for Walker and 41 percent support Burke. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
A Marquette poll conducted in October showed Walker with a smaller edge over Burke, 47 percent to 45 percent.
Pollster Charles Franklin says the numbers suggest people are still making up their minds about Burke, a former executive with Trek Bicycle Corp. He says it's interesting that Walker's number didn't go up, considering that he has a 51 percent approval rating.
The poll of 802 registered voters was conducted from Jan.

University of Indianapolis coach Gary Kinkead doesn't have to travel all over the world to recruit swimmers. All he has to do is open the inbox of his email.
The UIndy coach receives about 10 emails a week from foreign swimmers seeking scholarship offers. Recruiting services in Europe and Brazil send them his way, too.
It's not as if Kinkead set out to build a superpower on the backs of foreign swimmers. But UIndy has assembled a nationally competitive team with a reputation for strong academics.
In last week's NCAA Division II Championships at Mansfield, Texas, the Greyhounds were 11th in the women's standings and 12th in the men's. Of 15 UIndy qualifiers, eight were international swimmers from five countries.
Guy Kogel, 25, who served three years in the Israeli military, said his national federation meant to "punish" him by not approving his wish to swim Division I. His idea of college came from what he had seen in movies, so he envisioned a large campus like Indiana University.
"To be fair, I was pretty disappointed because I wanted to experience the college life," Kogel said. "But, as time went by, I understood it's really nice here. It has a lot of advantages to have a small campus and small classes."
Kogel, a senior, has finished as high as third at the Division II nationals. His best last week was seventh in the 200-yard butterfly. But he has virtually abandoned his dream of representing Israel in an Olympics.
The dream for those emailing Kinkead is not Olympic glory, but the chance to mix school and swimming. Most realize that Division I is out of reach.
For instance, UIndy assistant coach Orel Oral, a two-time Turkish Olympian, once set a Division II national record that lasted five years. His time barely would have made the cutoff to compete in the Division I nationals.
"That's how outer-space Division I is," Kinkead said. "It is a more difficult meet, depth-wise, than the Olympics."
It is relatively easy to scan websites for verification of prospective swimmers' times. Those not on swim scholarships -- UIndy has fewer than 10 full rides for men's and women's teams -- often qualify for academic aid.
Vicki Galiamoutsa, 22, a senior from Sweden majoring in international relations and marketing, located UIndy through a college swimming website. She emailed several schools, and Kinkead was the only coach who responded.
Galiamoutsa knew nothing about UIndy but came to thrive on the small campus and personal attention. She purposely picked Division II.
"When I graduate, I'm not going to be swimming that much any more," she said. "I have to think about what I'm going to do after college. So my grades are really important."
Diver out of Olympics
Elwood diver Mary Beth Dunnichay told WTHR-13 she would not continue training for the London Olympics.
Dunnichay, 19, who is redshirting at Purdue, had Jan. 6 shoulder surgery and has not recovered as quickly as she had hoped. As a 15-year-old, she was the youngest U.S. athlete in any sport at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Elsewhere in diving, Noblesville's David Boudia won a bronze medal on 10-meter platform in last weekend's World Series event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. IU graduate Christina Loukas teamed with Kassidy Cook for a silver medal in women's synchro 3-meter.
Sports of all sorts
Swimming: Franklin College is host for the NCAA Division III men's and women's championships, which opened Wednesday and run through Saturday at the Natatorium at IUPUI. . . . IU's Allysa Vavra was Big Ten Swimmer of the year.
Track: Illinois freshman Ashley Spencer (Lawrence North) ran the women's 200 meters in 23.08 seconds, No. 3 in the world in this outdoor season.

First look: Arup goes for six in Coventry
Arup Associates has won planning permission for its hexagon-inspired Engineering and Computing Building for Coventry University
The practice landed the £30 million project, which features six-sided desks and a hexagonal patterned facade, following a competition last year in which it beat the likes of Foster + Partners, Fielden Clegg Bradley Studios and Wilkinson Eyre.
The development boasts two separate 'elements' – a seven-storey block clad in a lightweight timber-framed anodised aluminium facade to the north, and a lower L-shaped building to the south which features a level below ground and a planted roof including 'a variety of vegetation known to attract the insect life preferred by Pipistrelle bats'.
'We have created spaces to facilitate new ways of teaching engineering,' said Dipesh Patel, director of Arup Associates. 'Our work supports the faculty's objective of creating a new pedagogy based upon collaborative learning.
'Gone are the days of lines of desks, with a lecturer at the front of the class room. Now, students will work around bespoke desks in groups of six, to study and solve problems together.'
Work was originally scheduled to complete in 2011.

52 killed in Iraq bomb attacksComment on this story
Baghdad - Bomb attacks hit the Iraqi capital Baghdad and a village near the northern town of Baquba on Wednesday, killing at least 52 people, police and hospital sources said.
In the deadliest incident, a bomb blew up in a funeral tent where mourners were marking the death two days ago of a Sunni Muslim pro-government militiaman, police said. It killed 18 people and wounded 16 in Shatub, a village south of Baquba.
Two years after US troops left Iraq, violence has climbed back to its highest levels since the Sunni-Shi'a bloodshed of 2006-2007, when tens of thousands of people were killed.
Al-Qaeda-linked militants are pursuing a campaign of attacks, mostly directed at state targets, Shi'a civilians and Sunnis seen as loyal to the Shi'a-led government.
Half a dozen car bombs exploded across the Iraqi capital on Wednesday, mostly in Shi'a districts, killing 34 people and wounding 71, police and medics said.
The violence occurred amid a continuing standoff between the Iraqi army and Sunni militants who overran the city of Falluja west of Baghdad more than two weeks ago in a challenge to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government. - Reuters

Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone, and what an emotional rollercoaster it was! Not only was the game neck and neck until the end, but viewers were taken through a gauntlet of tear-jerking ads between plays.
puppies? Check. Dead children?
Of course! It is the Super Bowl,
after all. It's as if advertisers suddenly realized humans have emotions, and
that beer + bikini + kick to the crotch is not in fact the perfect formula to
lure every football fan. Check out more Super Bowl commercials here.
But there were some funny ads, too. Lindsay Lohan poked fun at her wreck of a life for Nationwide; Mindy Kaling learned what it was like to be invisible; and that Pete Rose Sketchers commercial aired, so that's not embarrassing or anything.
Meanwhile the IRL Women
and Women First, the owners of Portland, Ore.'s feminist bookstore In Other Words, took over
twitter account to give a feminist commentary on the night's events. Here are
some highlights.
Before we knew it, it was half-time, headlined by Katy Perry.
While she's no Beyoncé (the disclaimer I give before complimenting anyone), homegirl brought it. Even people who are way too cool to listen to the pop star were all, "I'm not a Katy Perry fan, but that was a great performance," which is hipster for "I liked it." And if you were a fan of the amazing graphics throughout the show, you have a local company to thank! Lightborne Communications was behind all the 3-D animations and projections (they also worked on her recent tour). Read more about Lightborne's involvement here.
The singer came out on a gigantic metallic man-powered lion, danced on a checkerboard come-to-life, served up early-Katy Perry retro beach realness (#leftshark 4 lyfe) and flew across the stadium looking like "The More You Know" star. Lenny Kravitz was already announced as a guest star, and he didn't disappoint, performing Perry's breakout single "I Kissed a Girl." And oh, how I wanted to be that girl. Seriously, the man has not aged in the last 20-30 years. I wonder if he and Gwen Stefani both sold their souls to the devil around the same time in the '90s.
But Kravitz wasn't Perry's only guest! Rumored performer Missy Elliott surprised the audience with a medley of some of her top hits. It's been a decade since she released any new music, so hopefully there's more to come from Missy because the bitch can still put her thang down, flip it and reverse it.
There must be something in the air with pre-Millennium R&B musicians returning to the spotlight, because D'Angelo performed on Saturday Night Live last weekend at took us all to church while he did it. I never thought I'd like D'Angelo with so much clothing on, but he killed it (and owns the sophisticated baglady look).
SNL celebrates 40 years later this month (on a Sunday, which is weird). Tons of former cast members and hosts will appear: Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Jack Nicholson, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken and so, so many more, including Eddie Murphy, who'll be returning for the first time in more than 30 years.
Now stop everything, because the Game of Thrones trailer is here.
"Who said anything about him?" BOOM.
Jimmy Fallon took The Tonight Show on the road for the week, and some of the show's most hilarious clips have resulted. First, after the Super Bowl, Fallon and friends did a live show from Phoenix. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart — who watched the big game together and co-star in the upcoming Get Hard — threw down in a lip sync battle ("for their LIVES" – RuPaul) with Fallon. Watch the guys do either best Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and more here.
On Monday, the crew traveled to L.A. So, naturally, Fallon opened the show with a recreation of the intro from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
But the throwback fun doesn't stop there. No stranger to Mark-Paul Gosselaar (who famously did an interview with Fallon as Zack Morris on Late Night), Fallon reunited the Saved By the Bell crew — Zack (Gosselaar), Kelly (Tiffani Thiessen), Slater (Mario Lopez) and Jessie (Elizabeth Berkley) — for a trip back to Bayside.
This is all great but where is Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies)?! I mean I know Dustin "Screech" Diamond was probably busy with his recent arrest and all, but what's her excuse?
Finally, the movie event horny bitches across the planet have been waiting for is finally here. Folks have been talking about it — anticipating it — since 2012. Some scenes can't even be shown on TV.
No, I'm not talking about that Fifty Shades bullshit, I'm talkin' Magic Mike XXL. Try to keep your composure.
When news came out yesterday that Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show was the most-watched and highest-rated of any in history that featured entertainment, there was celebration at Lightborne Communications, the video-production-services company in Over-the-Rhine.
Lightborne created all the animated video projections used in Perry's 12-and-a-half-minute set, which featured a medley of abbreviated versions of her hits amid phantasmagoric and theatrical staging, costumes, videos, dancing and set design.
And while Lightborne President Scott Durban was wary about taking too much credit — lots of artists, obviously including Perry herself, were involved in the show — he did note that no other company involved in the overall production was based in Cincinnati.
Lightborne got involved because its Tour Visuals and Stage Content division already had been working on Perry's ongoing Prismatic World Tour. (It also has done or is working on video for tours by Kanye West, Kenny Chesney and Fleetwood Mac.)
Dan Bryant, the head of that division, explained Lightborne's involvement with Perry's Super Bowl performance:
"We started working on the project very shortly after she was announced in October as the half-time performer," Bryant said. "We had done over two hours of content for her Prism tour, so she was already familiar with our company and work. We got a call from her creative director, Baz Halpin, asking us to work on her Super Bowl show.
"As soon as we found out her set list, we started working with [Halpin] for some concepts that would work with the logistics and constraints of the show," Bryant continued. "We started doing individual frames to capture the overall idea for a particular song. That process went into November. Once we arrived at a concept for each song that everybody was happy with, we started storyboarding them out to give an idea of what the flow of ideas would be for each song.
"Then in December we started doing animatics, taking all the different frames we created and stringing them out to songs in still-frame form so everybody could get an idea of what it would look like when finally animated. That took us to the middle of December," he said.
"Then we started animating ideas to rough tracks for her Super Bowl medley. That's when we started using a really amazing piece of software called D3. It's simulation software, specifically designed about 10 years ago to simulate any live event on a software platform."
Eventually, after some intermediary steps, Lightborne had a working 3D model of the University of Phoenix Stadium, the performance stage and all the key props. Its crew started loading its animations into that.
"It gave everybody on our team, including Katy herself, a really good idea of what our animated content would look like when projected onto a 160-foot diameter surface," Bryant said. "That's when it gets really exciting because you start seeing the idea come to life."
In January, a four-person Lightborne team went out to Los Angeles to participate in rehearsals. A few days before the Super Bowl, everyone involved moved to Phoenix to rehearse in the actual venue.
Although everything went fine, Bryant said there was great nervousness as the actual Super Bowl game began. Lightborne was counting on some degree of darkness for Perry's show.
"The first and second quarter went by extremely quickly, and my team on location in Phoenix and everybody else with the show was getting nervous because it was still light outside," Bryant said. "They had the dome roof open and 15 minutes to show time it was still bright sunshine outside and the field was being hit by sunlight. Luckily some things happened in the game that had the quarter slow down, so it went off without a hitch."
