The LEGO Movie SynopsisThe LEGO® Movie is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure.

The Utterly Depressing Story Of Why Lego Movie's 'Everything Is Awesome' Was Written
If you've seen The Lego Movie, starring Chris Pratt (voice), Elizabeth Banks (voice) and Will Ferrell then chances are you know the song "Everything Is Awesome." While you may remember it as being an ultra-upbeat pop track with nothing but lyrics about blue skies, bouncy springs and endless partying, you may be surprised to learn that writing the tune was anything but.

The LEGO Movie Directors Diss The Academy In Their BAFTA Awards Speech

What you may not know, however, is that early drafts of the movie actually had one of George Lucas' greatest creations as one of the lead characters.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - St. Clairsville has an established boys' soccer program.
Harrison Central is playing its first full season of varsity action.
The difference showed Monday night under the lights as the Red Devils rolled to a 7-0 whitewashing of the Huskies on the artificial surface at Red Devil Stadium.
Article Photos
St. Clairsville's Taylor Wissman and Harrison Central's Geoff Pecar vie for possession Monday night.
"We weren't taking them lightly because they've beat a couple of teams," St. Clairsville coach Gary Watt said. "At this point in the season, we're just taking one game at a time."
With the victory, the Red Devils improved to 7-2-1 and will play host to Weir Wednesday, one day before the OVAC Cup cut-off date. St. Clairsville entered Monday night's game a close second to Steubenville in the 4-A race.
"We came out focused," Watt added. "We had the intention to move the ball and put a lot of pressure on. I thought we did a good job in the 50-50s. I was proud of that."
Three different Red Devils scored two goals each, as junior Zach Oliver got the first two net-finders. Seniors Taylor Wissmann and Ty Boone also found the back of the cage twice.
The Huskies actually had the first shot on goal as sophomore Conner Pecar sent a drive to the net in the fourth minute that Red Devils' goalkeeper Izaac Wiley had to make a diving stop of.
However, it was all St. Clairsville after that.
Boone dribbled the ball up the left side before sending a cross to Oliver in the middle of the field. Oliver one-timed the pass with his right foot and it eluded Huskies' keeper Tyler Starr, who despite the loss played well in net at the 11:06 mark.
After the Huskies' Jonah Rodgers just missed the net, the hosts didn't as Oliver took a nifty feed from Wissmann and outran the defenders before slamming the ball just inside the left post for a 2-0 reading at 18:48.
Freshman Jordan Vincent etched his name in scoring column when he sent a left-footed laser just past the left post and by the diving Starr for a 3-0 count at the half.
Wissmann made it 4-0 early in the second half, and then bumped the margin to 5-0 with a penalty kick that deflected off of Starr and into the cage.
Boone capped the scoring with his two-goal outburst on back-to-back shots on goal. Jarret Helms assisted on the first goal, with Vincent sending a cross to Boone for a header for his helper.
Harrison Central had a couple of good chances in the second half, but Wiley was up to the challenge of Pecar on a breakaway. Not only did the Red Devils' senior keeper deny the first shot, he also kept the rebound out of the net.
"I'm proud of my team even though we lost," Harrison Central coach Eric Sheets said. "We're a first-year program and they've been around for a while.
"We're getting better and better with every game, even though the scoreboard didn't reflect that. We had our chances, we just couldn't finish."
Wiley finished with six saves, while Devan Case combined on the shutout. He replaced Wiley at the 27:10 mark of the second half.
"Izaac kept the shutout intact when he was in there," Watt said. "He made a couple of huge saves. Devan has to be able to play against varsity competition. He's going to be a good one. He's our future."

If a user creates a calendar event and invites another person within the company (within Zimbra), the message goes out via e-mail inviting him/her. Even if iCal is not set to automatically accept invitations, the event appears in his/her calendar automatically (probably through the iSync services)...but there is no ability to accept/decline.
If he/she double-clicks the .ics attachment from the message, a notification shows up in iCal (with option to accept/decline), but then iSync services (or whatever) has already populated the calendar with that entry (ARGH!). So, if the user accepts or declines that notification, he/she now has two duplicate calendar entries.
If he/she then attempts to resolve the duplicates and nukes the .ics generated entry, the user then has no ability to delete and not notify the meeting originator, which then confuses that user as to whether the recipient actually declined or accepted the meeting.
Is there a way to use the iSync services AND get the ability to accept/decline meetings AND not generate these duplications? I think we're having a logic puzzle here and we're losing.

Lax Ref, eme, or whomever else is going to the convention would you please post the latest rulings/mechanics/how they want us to call on this post. Can't wait to finally resolve many of the questions. Thanks
I am sitting this one out, as the earlier date this year put the convention on someone's birthday weekend. That made the idea of going to the convention "not spousally popular." But I am sure we will get updates soon enough.
What came out of the convention this weekend? Rules changes and mechanics?
NFHS Rule Books are in good shape. Links to the NFHS Rules video will be posted on both NFHS and USL sites shortly.
NCAA Rule Book is in tough shape. NCAA is considering revising and reissuing the book, but only as a PDF.
Here is a document that covers most of the known / admitted issues with the book and the revisions discussed in Philadelphia.
NCAA is still pondering whether slashes to the head should be NR (strictest interpretation of Rule 5-3 wording "or stick").
Also, anything in the linked document could come out differently once the whole committee gets to vote. (For example, Rule 7-9, AR 50, could change from Goal counts, as stated at the convention, back to No goal.)
Last edited by MElaxRef; 01-14-2013 at 05:50 PM.
I heard a couple of times on Sunday that the Rules committee met and clarified that slashes to the head do not have to be NR. I expect when they send something out they'll mention something similar to NFHS about violent, uncontrolled, severe, etc being NR.
Here are my notes from the discussions in the Rules and Mechanics meetings
Huge numbers of changes and revisions: New Rule Book available online. Not printing a new book.
2013 Rules & Mechanics Changes
Balls at end line at table.
Monitor throughout game.
Ball must become dislodged! Safety! May go further in the future.
4" was chosen to allow 3 strings at the top (feedback from stringers)
What if a regular player takes face?
Tape of contrasting color for faceoff sticks. Not a penalty, but possible delay. Prewhistle violation. No option to sub. MUST have tape.
No tape on crosse head except goalie
2" string is not 3 min NR, NOT A FOUL instruct player to fix.
Can't double up sidewall stings.
Stick Check
These are in addition to old mechanics still doing swipe card check and measurement
When placing ball in back of crosse, push in and smooth pocket out.
Unless it is a deep pocket it is 3 min NR crosse out of game inckuding stuck in back
Still six per game
Substitution Box
Lots of action in box
Be aware of players comming on or off
Teams will seek to gain the advatage of the extended box....longer passes on clears
Trail needs to stop at cone
Lead on slow break needs to get past the box and help on subs
Single needs to go! Get further up the field quicker!
Focus is ahead of you. Count forwards
3rd pre and post whistle violations during the faceoff = 30 sec penalty per half
how do we keep track, U and FK track a team suggested using down football indicator markers ; communicate with crew on each faceoff
pre and post whistle count does not carry over to OT
Does a cross check during FO count towards three? NO, slashes, crosscheck etc fouls do not count, only face off related fouls count
How do you keep track?
Suggestion: one official track each team. U counts tracks white FJ counts dark and tracks violations.
Having R handle all faceoffs was discussed.
Wing player leaving early counts towards 3
Cant bring up player on MD faceoff
If faceoff man crosses midfield line is team offsides?
Grabbing ball or opponents crosse is USC
Still meeting with faceoff guys pregame
Post whistle faceoff violations if players are in a "battling position", once the ball is out it is a normal play.
Avoid using a Play on in a faceoff! If they are engaged whistle and award
On Quick Restart on Faceoff Violation
B must be 5 yards before actively defending player. Think he muist play as if he has no crosse.
What if A follows?
If A follows, he gives up his right to free play. Idea is he can go straight at goal.
Sideline Behavior
Call it early
No warning on language (Warren Kimber)
1 pass or run outside box for A
D can start inside box
Dont be too picky on where within reason. Quick restart but no advantage
Restart from crease MUST give 5 yards...ergo B can't stand on crease to play goalie on quick restart in crease!
B Playing goalie on crease on clear flag must play as if he has no stick
Continue to move players five yards in from Substitution Box (table area = substitution box.
No runing starts from OB
Player must pick up ball from ground!
A Must reestablish inbounds
No grace period for goalie
On pass to player outside box, B must be 5 yards to engage!
Let goalie know where ball is!
Stalling/Timer On
Onus is on the offence to attack the goal
Not a shot clock
GIKI meant your stalling outside box get it in to stall inside the box; this is why exception we added of A behind GLE
No more final two minutes stall warning
Timer on
20 second timer: runs if ball OB
Visible ten second count: start/stop
D must play A in box
If A brings bal out or behind goal
TO by A keep ten second count
TO by B reset 30
An atempt to score that is on goal pipe, save or rebound off goalie.
Reset for technical or personal foul, twirl finger for reset
Once shot satisfies requirement (ie hits goalie or pipe) timer is off, stall is over is football fair catch signal
Final two minutes should be played and officiated like the entire game.
Timer off signal p is fair catch signal
All officials signal timer in, trail starts and pumps
Trail yells "ten seconds", visual count, verbal count from 5
At your discretion when team use running wheel substitution
Allow them to get their personnel on
If they do that and then attack ok
If they play for 40 seconds and THEN and then sub, no
"If it looks like stalling, its stalling"
Thrusting stick: 1 minute
Still crosscheck hold 30 second
Pushing off with the glove after contact is ok
Delivering a thrusting blow is UR.
NOT all cross checks are NR
Hits to Head
2 to 3 Min NR
All hits and slashes to head are TIME SERVING!
on big and high hits, flag down get in and watch players, talk to crew
"Deliberate" is out
Illegal Screen
Must have contact
Scoring play 4-8
If cage becomes loose during scoring play let it go, stop if no immediate scoring opportunity.
Offsides 4-10
Focus forward
Delete note 1 and 2 (p 32)
Gaining the attack area 4-14
Ball to defensive side Timer onif
If man up ball goes over midfield caused by A no timer on!
Penalty Enforcement
anything you do in the box last year you do all over the field
Foul by A
B gains posession
Failure to advance
Throw flag in front of you
Second personal during FDSW ball remains live
This list very helpful...answers most of my questions.
Non compliance with shooting string 4" rule is..."fix and get off" or 1-min returnable?
or 3-min no return?
1) No tape on the plastic part of the stick except for goalies.
2) F/O players must have a contrasting color of tape on their handle adjacent to the plastic part of the head.
3) Tape "donuts" that are more than 3.5" in diameter are not allowed.
Here is what I recall about enforcement.
1) Enforcement was not made clear. My assumption was that this would be a get off and fix it issue but may be a problem for FO players (see #2).
2) In this case, we were told that the special tape was only needed to faceoff and not necessary to play. This would only be enforced if a player attempts to faceoff without the special tape. Enforcement is award ball to the other team and add one to the offending team's FO violation number. If this is the 3rd or later violation of the half, then the in home will serve 30 seconds.
3) This would seem to be a get off and fix it issue like long strings and end caps.
Comments on #2. We've been asked to continue meeting with all the FO players before every game. Hopefully #2 will not be an issue if we check all the sticks at that time. It may, however, be a real problem for those of us in the hinterlands of lacrosse as teams often send out a random player to take a faceoff and that player's stick may not have the required special tape.
I'm bringing pink duct tape to all my games....

Spring 2013 Broadway Guide

This spring season on Broadway is as American as baseball, cheddar melting on apple pie—or a Kardashian's Twitter feed. There are the classic revivals that brilliantly interpret America's coming-of-age years, like Horton Foote's farewell to the Texas cotton fields of his youth The Trip to Bountiful. Several musicals opening this spring chronicle aspects of American music, too: Rogers and Hammerstein, Motown Records and '80s icon Cyndi Lauper are among those whose melodies appear in these shows. Then there are the tributes to real-life people who achieved the American Dream, like a housewife turned governor, a Pulitzer Prize–winning Irish-American journalist and a Holocaust refugee who struck gold in Hollywood.
Finally, Holly Golightly—one of the most iconic characters in American literature—gives Broadway another go in Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. After a grueling presidential election this fall and a devastating hurricane that shut down Broadway for several days, causing a few shows to close early, it will be refreshing to rally around America on the Great White Way this spring. The only thing missing is Tom Cruise starring in a revival of Oklahoma. There's always next year. For more on each of these shows, read on.

ANES 1992 Time Series Study (ICPSR 6067)
Alternate Title: American National Election Study, 1992: Pre- and Post-Election Survey [Enhanced with 1990 and 1991 Data]
Principal Investigator(s): Miller, Warren E., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; Kinder, Donald R., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; Rosenstone, Steven J., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. American National Election Studies
This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952. The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The 1992 National Election Study entailed both a pre-election interview and a post-election reinterview. Approximately half of the 1992 cases are comprised of empaneled respondents who were first interviewed in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1990: POST-ELECTION SURVEY (ICPSR 9548) and later in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY: 1990-1991 PANEL STUDY OF THE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF WAR/1991 PILOT STUDY (ICPSR 9673). The other half of the cases are a freshly drawn cross-section sample. The panel component of the study design provides an opportunity to trace how the changing fortunes of the Bush presidency, from the high levels of approval at the start of the Gulf War through the decline after the onset of a recession, affected voting in the November 1992 presidential election. It also permits analysts to investigate the origins of the Clinton and Perot coalitions as well as changes in the public's political preferences over the two years preceding the 1992 election. In the 1990 Post-Election Survey two forms of the survey instrument were used, with about 75 percent of the content being the same on both forms. Survey questions included the now-standard National Election Studies battery of questions, along with items on presidential performance and the Persian Gulf conflict. Additionally, Form A contained questions relating to values and individualism, while Form B had content relating to foreign relations. In 1991, respondents were reinterviewed several months after hostilities in the Persian Gulf ended, and in this second wave the survey content consisted of a repeat of a subset of questions from the 1990 Post-Election Survey, along with additional items especially relevant to the Gulf War. A number of contextual variables also are provided, including summary variables that combine the respondent's recall of his or her senator's and representative's vote on the use of force with that congressperson's actual vote. The content for the 1992 Election Study reflects its dual purpose, both as the traditional presidential election year time-series data collection and as the third wave of a panel study. In addition to the standard or core content items, respondents were asked their positions on social issues such as altruism, abortion, the death penalty, prayer in the schools, the rights of homosexuals, sexual harassment, women's rights, and feminist consciousness. Other substantive themes included racial and ethnic stereotypes, opinions on school integration and affirmative action, attitudes toward immigrants (particularly Hispanics and Asians), opinions on immigration policy and bilingual education, assessments of United States foreign policy goals, and United States involvement in the Persian Gulf War. Part 2, the Nonresponse "Bias" File, designed to permit analysis of the causes and consequences of nonresponse, presents information concerning 3,690 cases that include complete or partial interviews for the Pre-/Post-Election Survey plus refusals, no-contact, and nonsample cases.

Look for the zodiacal light
By Vernon Whetstone
Capricornus is the smallest of the zodiacal constellations. Represented as half goat and half fish, this boat-shaped constellation lies due south at about 8:30 p.m. MDT on these early autumn evenings. It is somewhat difficult to find from city skies as only one of its stars is brighter than magnitude three.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
Tea time
On April 15 thousands of protesters donned their three-cornered hats, hung tea bags from their American flags, and gathered in nearly 900 cities across the 50 states for Tax Day Tea Party protests. Lucy Walker, a New Yorker carrying a sign that said "D.C. pirates are hijacking America's wealth," called Obama "the pirate president." In Washington children joined in with signs like, "Save some money for me. I'm 10 years old." Conservative talk show host Mike Church told the rain-soaked audience, "This is not civil disobedience. This is constitutional obedience."
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told the New York crowd to give their legislators an ultimatum: "If you vote against America's future, we're gonna fire you."
Of the grassroots movement. Julia Hayden, spokeswoman for the San Antonio Tea Party Committee, said, "It's a very loose organization. . . . We all seem to be moving more or less in the same direction and thinking along the same lines, but it's not systematic." But Rebecca Wales, lead organizer for the Washington D.C. tea party, said databases are growing and "everybody who has signed up has gotten at least one email with a 'next step.'" Those next steps include local forums, more rallies on the Fourth of July, and a September march in Washington.
Turning point
Thursday (April 16), Cuban president Raoul Castro: "We are open, whenever they want, to discussing everything: human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners-everything they want to discuss."
Friday (April 17) President Barack Obama speaking in Trinidad at the Summit of the Americas: "I am prepared to have my administration engage with the Cuban government on a wide range of issues-from drugs, to migration and economic issues, to human rights, free speech and democratic reform."
Saturday (April 18) White House spokesman Robert Gibbs: "We will continue to evaluate and watch what happens, we are anxious to see what the Cuban government is willing to step up to do."
Although Obama ordered the lifting of travel restrictions and financial remittances with Cuba, he did not, as many presumed, formally lift the U.S. economic embargo in place against the island nation since 1962. But a significant thaw in relations has come alongside an April report by the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF), once the strongest proponent of the embargo, advocating direct diplomatic engagement and lifting of the aid and travel restrictions. CANF was founded by a leader of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, and for over 25 years lobbied to keep the embargo in place.
Big endorsement
Meeting in London in April, the one-year-old organization of biblically orthodox Anglican primates known as GAFCON voted to formally recognize the emerging province of conservatives on this side of the Atlantic, the Anglican Church in North America. The action is significant because it is the first time a majority of the church's archbishops worldwide is, in effect, disassociating itself from the Episcopal Church.
Warnings and releases
Confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad remains on U.S. soil, technically, at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. But of the 71 Pakistanis imprisoned at the facility, 63 have been sent back to Pakistan. Eight are still in prison: Abdul Rehman, Ali Abdul Aziz, Majid Khan, Saifullah Paracha and Muhammad are among those eight-all linked directly to the 9/11 attacks against the United States. Only 241 of almost 800 total detainees remain at Guantanamo following President Barack Obama's decision to close the facility within the year.
Repatriating the suspected jihadists continued even as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued her strongest warning yet over al-Qaeda and Taliban bases in Pakistan. In April 22 testimony before a House panel she warned of advances "now within hours of Islamabad, that are being made by a loosely confederated group of terrorists and others who are seeking the overthrow of the Pakistani state, a nuclear-armed state."
`Computer spies have broken into the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project, the Defense Department's costliest weapons program-according to current and former government officials who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. But while some officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said the intruders were able to copy and siphon off extensive data, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman and Chief Financial Officer Bruce L. Tanner of Lockheed Martin, which makes the aircraft, said such attacks are not uncommon and have not involved sensitive information related to design and weapons systems. Similar break-ins have also breached the Air Force's air-traffic-control system in recent months. Some defense analysts say officials are drawing more attention to cyber-attacks ahead of an Obama administration report due this month that is likely to call for a "cyber-security czar" and increased spending on cybersecurity. Pentagon officials said they traced the latest intrusions with a "high level of certainty" to known Chinese internet protocol addresses. If true, it would be the most recent in a series of cyber-attacks linked to China.
Demanding deficit
A $1.85 trillion deficit projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for fiscal year 2009 is nearly triple the actual deficit for fiscal year 2008 and is $100 million more than White House projections.
The U.S. Supreme Court on April 20 declined to review the case of a death row inmate who claimed jurors violated his rights when they consulted the Bible. In March 1998, Khristian Oliver, 31, of Waco, Texas, and three accomplices broke into the home of Joe Collins, 64. Oliver shot Collins to death and also bludgeoned him with the barrel of a gun. Oliver's co-defendants drew sentences of from five to 99 years in prison, but the jury sentenced Oliver to die. In appealing a 2008 5th U.S. Circuit Court decision upholding Oliver's sentence, defense attorneys argued that jurors were unduly influenced by non-evidentiary factors, in particular, Numbers chapter 35, which says, "But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death." Oliver's attorneys claimed jurors consulted the passage during sentencing deliberations, but prosecutors argued there was no evidence jurors voted based on the Bible or any religious discussion. At a lower court hearing, jurors testified variously concerning the presence and use of the Bible, including how many volumes were present and when jurors read them. One juror said the reading occurred only after the panel had made its decision.
Storm damage
A group of storms that swept through the Southeast just days before Easter claimed the lives of five people and left a trail of destruction. Within hours of the storms, Samaritan's Purse dispatched a disaster relief unit to Mena, Ark., where a tornado created a 40-mile path that destroyed 300 homes April 9 in the town of 5,000. Samaritan's Purse volunteers worked alongside other relief groups like God's Pit Crew to clear away debris and to help families sort through the rubble. The Convoy of Hope also provided two tractor-trailers filled with 80,000 pounds of water, nonperishable food, and cleaning supplies. Meanwhile in Murfreesboro, Tenn., where a tornado killed a 30-year-old woman and her infant daughter on Good Friday, area churches sprang into action to provide clean-up aid as well as food, water, even portable toilets to storm victims.
Targeted killings?
A total of 750 Christians have been murdered in Iraq in the past five years, according to the Chaldean archbishop of Kirkuk, Louis Sako. The number includes the archbishop of the Chaldean church in Mosul, Paulos Faraj Rahho, who was kidnapped and killed in 2008. Last month four Iraqi Christians were killed in Baghdad and Kirkuk within 48 hours of one another. Church officials said they did not know if the killings were related, or whether random gunmen, armed gangs, or Islamic jihadists carried them out. On April 1 one man was gunned down in Kirkuk, and the following day three were killed in Dora, a historically Christian neighborhood in Baghdad that has been systematically emptied in the last two years by insurgent violence. The killings "put a renewed fear in our hearts," said Julian Taimoorazy, president of Iraqi Christian Relief Council, speaking to International Christian Concern. "What we need is a more safe and secure Iraq for all Iraqis, especially for the Christians who have faced ethno-religious cleansing."
Casualties of violence remain down in Iraq but officials are concerned about recent apparent targeted attacks against specific groups. On April 20 a suicide bomber struck at an army post south of Baghdad where members of the Awakening Council were waiting to collect paychecks-killing 9 and wounding 31. The council fighters are themselves former insurgents who switched sides to support Iraqi and U.S. forces for pay.
Zeroing out
The Massachusetts House on April 15 released a budget that axed $850,000 in funding for pro-homosexual programs in public schools. The line-item zero marks the first time since the early 1990s that a state budget contained no money earmarked for pro-gay school programming. Such programs have included an elementary school curriculum that normalizes homosexuality, campus-based gay clubs, and a transgender prom. The House action followed a full-court press by state conservatives: MassResistance, a pro-family group, lobbied the statehouse while citizens, angered over a March 2008 statement by the Massachusetts state commission on homosexuality that "homophobic parents are the problem," phoned legislators and wrote letters. The state budget now passes to the Senate where, MassResistance warns, liberal lawmaker Therese Murray and others have in past years succeeded in reversing cuts to homosexuality-related public-school programs in the name of "student safety." And in the House one hurdle remains: Pro-gay legislators have introduced amendments that could shoehorn the funding back in. On April 20, MassResistance held a meeting to organize people in House Speaker Robert DeLeo's district "just to make sure the amendments don't go through," said MassResistance president Brian Camenker. "The district is very conservative, but since he was elected Speaker, Deleo had appeared at some fundraisers for the homosexual lobby. I don't think that's sitting very well in his district. We still think we're going to win this fight."
Man knows not his time
Ben Edwards, 77, for 35 years the CEO and chairman of A.G. Edwards & Co., died April 20 of prostate cancer. The company was one of the 10 largest brokerages in the country, and for most of its history the only one not headquartered in New York. Edwards was a counter--cultural manager and known to all who worked with him as a committed Christian with an executive formula embodying simple adherence to the Golden Rule: Clients first, then employees, and then shareholders. The plan worked: Under Edwards' leadership, the company grew from 40 offices to more than 700 nationwide. After his retirement in 2001, in a move he vigorously resisted, the company was sold to Wachovia Bank and all but dismantled in Wachovia's 2008 meltdown-and with it most of Edwards' personal estate. He remained indomitably cheerful: "I am the most blessed man I know," he told WORLD last November.

Based around Yamaha's P116M acoustic piano, the P116MSG adds their recently redesigned Silent technology to the instrument.
The previous Silent System allowed players to 'switch off' the audible acoustic sound on their pianos; a sample/synthesized sound would then be heard through headphones or connected speakers/PA, making it ideal for late night practice, studio and stage use.
The new SG Silent technology takes the Silent system several steps further, vastly improving the piano sound, adding additional instrument sounds (such as harpsichord, organ and strings) and offering an easy to use recording system.
Voices can be layered with each other and/or with the acoustic piano's own sound and powerful features such as Dynamic Damper Effect (DDE) and several reverb types add to the realism.

Western Australia is home to Australia's sunniest capital receiving 3,000 hours of sunshine a year...and there are nearly as many ways to enjoy it! Perth is the only capital city in Australia where you can choose to either explore a world-class wine region, picnic in one of Australia's oldest conservation areas or watch the sun set over the ocean - all within 30 minutes from the city.
Next time you travel from Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne, enjoy a hot meal, drinks and in-flight entertainment and beer and wine if travelling after midday. It's just another way we're putting the magic back in to flying.

Thread: Censoring the Forum Gallery??
Actually, a couple of cases and interpretations/summaries I found indicated that a website may very well be considered "publishing, duplication, reproduction, and reissuing."
Moreover, the non-prohibition of "mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted" is interpreted to be a protection for the non-decisionmaking support crew (stage hands, gaffers, grips, messengers, mail room attendants), not those who make the editorial decisions of the material that finds its way into publication.
If the OurPPA.com were a revenue-producing device (like a men's magazine), then it might be worth the financial cost of gaining and maintaining model documentation and it might be worth the financial risk of legal defense if the Alabama or Georgia courts decided to go after the PPA (those are the states where website servers reside and where editorial judgments for the site are made, respectively...notice that those are quite conservative states).
If the PPA were the ACLU and thus had the primary mission of expanding the boundaries of freedom of speech, then daring Georgia and Alabama courts would fall into the mission of the organization.
But OurPPA.com is not revenue-producing, nor does the PPA have the primary mission of pushing the boundaries of freedom of speech. Having a vital interest in the protection of freedom of speech is not the same thing as having the mission of expanding the boundaries of freedom of speech--it's like the difference between a state militia and the Marine Corps.
PPA is certainly not obligated to bear that risk and cost for individual photographers who do intend to expand the boundaries of freedom of speech, especially given that those photographers have more ability to self-publish today (via the web) than in any time in the past.
PPA already annoys federal and state governments by combatting them on issues like copyright modifications and health insurance. PPA is already on their "we don't like these people much" lists...why create unnecessary vulnerability on an issue that is not of substantial benefit to the vast majority of PPA members?
Being a publication venue for frontal nudity is of too minimal benefit to the vast majority of the OurPPA.com audience to take on the cost and risk. It just isn't worth it.
As for us not actually "producing" the images, you are correct because distributing the images is not seen as breaking the law.
Article (2257) Paragraph (h) section (3)
the term "produces" means to produce, manufacture, or publish any book, magazine, periodical, film, video tape, computer generated image, digital image, or picture, or other similar matter and includes the duplication, reproduction, or reissuing of any such matter, but does not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depictedIn that matter then yes you are correct that we are not directly liable for the distribution.--Elephants can swim...
...and very gracefully.
Knowing that,
I do believe
Anything is possible for me.

In our state competitions
In our state photography competitions, in the rules it says to keep in mind that the general public may see the images and to keep that in mind.
The same goes for the gallery section... the general public has access. There are plenty of knowledgable photographers on the Forum. If someone has a romantic image they would like to get an opinion on they can PM and ask to send the image(s) to them.
Thanks Kirk, that was very well put. Again, I'm not the greatest at interpreting the law.Gregory Aide

I for one completely understand the decisions made by the PPA on this matter and agree that it is in the best interest of the association and all who work for the PPA.
There is absolutely no reason in these days and times to take business risks when they can be simple avoided. If one wants to post questionable art on their own website, then fine, they can bear that responsibility. This is not censorship but a very solid and sound business decision based on Federal laws.Ron Jackson

We have gone over this, we have determined that there will be no images like these allowed. As of right now we will not be making a member's only section of the gallery.Gregory Aide
Production Manager
Thank you in advance for the explanation.Linda Gregory
Hope you don't take this the wrong way Charles, but let me understand that sentence a bit. Photographers who don't want to be PPA members but still want and expect to recieve some kind of benefits?
I don't want to sound snippy, but the last time I went to the Country Club I wasn't paying dues at, they seemed to have no trouble telling me I couldn't play on their course or swim in their pool. The nerve of them.
As Matt explained, we're simply doing the same policy for all here, no special section, but saying we shouldn't have a restriction against non-members who don't pay PPA membership dues is, well, what we call here in NY, chutzpah.
Best laugh I've had today.
And what we do already for "non-members" is this here Forum, lobbying in Washington, and many other things. It just amazes me at what people expect us to do for them with no support.
And you're not the only one Charles. Not by a long shot. I had someone recently at a regional banquet upset with PPA because we wouldn't help him with his specific problem, just because he wasn't a member. Chutzpah. He backed down when others at our table agreed with me, that as a non-member, there was no expectation of help.Jack Reznicki
I kinda agree with Jack.....as a nonmember, I appreciate the use of the forum, I sure as heck don't expect any benefits for my non membership. C'mon, Charles, we don't need no stinkin gallery....

Couture in orbit: from spacewalk to catwalk
ESA and the Science Museum in London are working with five leading fashion schools around Europe to design clothes for the space age with their 'Couture in Orbit' project.
Between 2014 and 2016, five ESA astronauts from the UK, France, Italy, Denmark and Germany are visiting the International Space Station. To mark the missions, European fashion schools from the astronauts' home countries are designing and developing clothes that are both desirable and practical, while incorporating high-tech innovations.
The participating schools are Fashion Design Akademiet in Denmark, Ravensbourne in the UK, the Politecnico di Milano in Italy and ESMOD in France and Germany.
Each is assigned a theme for its clothing, ranging from technology, environment and innovation to health and nutrition, and has to consider the applications of their designs in daily life.
ESA provides space-certified textiles for the students to use in the project, which is supported by the companies Bionic Yarn and Sympatex. In addition, national corporate sponsors offer technical advice.
This is not a competition but a celebration of the inspirational face of space exploration. Expert judges will select 15 pieces from each school to be developed for the climax of the project: a fashion show at the London museum 25 May 2016, during the Couture in Orbit fashion LATES event.
For more information about dates, and to follow the schools' design process, visit the website couture-in-orbit.tumblr.com and follow us on Twitter via #coutureinorbit.

Ten students from Oklahoma Christian University have the chance to change a country, and possibly the world. This week the 10 students, whose nonprofit group is called Rwandans4Water, flew to Rwanda to drill water wells in 15 communities. Oklahomans from four different organizations have helped the students prepare for this ground-breaking mission.
"The top water development charities in the world are watching this project because it is a new approach to clean water development," said Ryan Groves, who has been a consultant to R4W. He is an Oklahoma Christian student and executive director of Wishing Well, a group that has funded 65 wells across the globe since 2006. "It has the potential to dramatically increase access to clean water in Africa and other developing countries."
One unique aspect of the project is the involvement by the students, who are Rwandan Presidential Scholars studying at Oklahoma Christian. They were selected among the top students in the country to study in a field such as engineering, then to go back and develop the country. Though these students are only juniors, the government believes in the drilling project so much that it covered transportation costs for the summer.
"This Rwandan project encourages ownership by citizens and the government where the drilling will occur," Groves said. "It's not the old approach involving an expatriate going over, setting things up and then leaving."
Another unique aspect of the Rwandan project is the dramatically lower costs realized through improvements in drilling techniques. Oklahoma City-based Water4Foundation developed these techniques.
"Previous methods cost $15,000 for just one well," Groves said. "These new hand-drilling techniques cut the costs to $700 each. This is the future of drilling wells in developing countries."
The students have been training with Water4Foundation for the last few months, while also organizing a drilling schedule with Rwandan officials in the 15 cities and holding fundraisers in Oklahoma City.
"We teamed with Wishing Well and hosted a benefit concert at Bridgeway Church in April," said R4W coordinator Aloys Zunguzungu. "All proceeds went to fund this project."
The students credit their faiths and the help they have received from Oklahomans for the project's initial success.
"We recognize God's hand behind this initiative and he will be with us until its completion," said Zunguzungu. "We also want to express our deep appreciation to our amazing partners and Oklahoma Christian students that made this idea a reality."
According to Oklahoma Christian president Mike O'Neal, this is a great example of students having a global impact.
"This project has the potential to do some incredible short-term and long-term good for the people of Rwanda and other parts of Africa that are lacking clean, accessible water," said O'Neal. "What is most promising is the long-term potential. These students have created a business plan that will fund the development of future wells in other locations. Each new well will change the lives of hundreds of people by allowing the children to attend school and by allowing adults to engage in productive work instead of having to spend hours transporting water for survival and household needs."
While the students are in Rwanda now, they are continuing to raise funds for future wells.
"Donations of any kind are appreciated," Zunguzungu said. "We have a page on our website that makes it very easy to donate."
For more information about R4W, visit www.rwandans4water.org. Access to cleaner water reduces health diseases. It also reduces the time that children spend gathering water, which allows them to spend more time studying. The Rwandan students believe that improved health and education will result in increased economic productivity, which will help the country continue to develop as a nation.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Free-agent acquisition Brad Boyes registered a
goal and two assists, helping the New York Islanders rally for a 7-4 win over
the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre.
Matt Moulson and Michael Grabner scored two goals apiece for the Islanders,
who were down 3-1 after the first period. Evgeni Nabokov made 39 saves for New
York, which opened its season by splitting a pair of home games.
Matt Frattin and Carl Gunnarsson each had a goal and two assists for Toronto.
The Maple Leafs recalled Frattin from the AHL earlier Thursday to replace
forward Joffrey Lupul, who is expected to miss a minimum of six weeks due to a
fractured forearm suffered in Wednesday's win in Pittsburgh.
Ben Scrivens was pulled in the third period after giving up five goals on 25
shots. James Reimer recorded seven saves in relief.

Having only launched their website on the 10th of May, UK-based fashion label Clomm has put out quite the first impression. The boutique watch brand has released six timepieces in its "Terra Firma" collection – each one with a distinct, albeit understated sophistication.
While there are departure points, the common thread throughout the entire line is a thoughtful combination of proper materials and minimal design. All of the timepieces feature aerospace grade stainless steel cases, premium Italian leather straps, Swiss quartz movements, and sapphire crystal lenses. That said, three of the six watches offer natural wood faces in rosewood, oak, or cork. The juxtaposition between cutting edge and organic materials is rather refreshing – especially when you consider the subtle darkening of wood and leather overtime. For such a minimal watch there is nonetheless room to acquire character with use and abuse, all without running the risk of going out of fashion.
With longevity in mind, the watches are meant for the discerning buyer who appreciates quality more than making a statement – yet in this case those ideals are not mutually exclusive.
Be sure to check out their work at the link above and scroll through the gallery for some high-resolution images of all six pieces, including some lifestyle shots and a peek at their hand crafted wooden storage box.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) --- Since 2010 the 1882 Project, a non-partisan coalition of Chinese-American and Asian-American leaders and their supporters, pushed for a formal apology from Congress for the Chinese Exclusion Act. From 1882 to 1943, Congress enacted a series of Chinese Exclusion laws prohibiting people of Chinese ancestry from becoming naturalized citizens in the U.S.
With the passage of Senate Resolution 201 (Oct. 2011) and House Resolution 683 (June 2012), the 112th Congress provided a formal apology. This is the fifth time ever that Congress has made a formal apology to a group of people.
"It takes a village to raise a child...it takes an army to get an apology in Congress," said Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), who sponsored the bill in the House of Representatives. Chu, a Chinese American, added the 1882 Project spurred many Chinese Americans to speak to their local congressional representatives all across the nation.
The Senate bill was sponsored by Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA).
Members and friends of the 1882 Project celebrate at a reception inside the Capitol Visitor Center, Sept. 19, 2012.
Dr. Michael Lin, chair of the 1882 Project, introduced the numerous leaders at the reception. He highlighted and thanked the supporters of the project who used their own time and financial resources to spread awareness of the project across the country.
"Mistakes were made...It is only right that Congress tries to remedy this and go on record," said Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA).
"[The Chinese Exclusion Act] has decimated the Chinese [American] community," said Haipei Shue, Co-chair of the 1882 Project and President, National Council of Chinese Americans.
"If it weren't for this law, the Chinese community here, the Asian community here, would be much, much larger...Going forward... I think we need to become actively engaged citizens in this country," Shue added.
The members of the 1882 Project plans to form an educational basis to educate Americans about the history of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The next step is to push for inclusion of the full history of the Chinese Exclusion Act within textbooks.
"We have to keep our government's feet to the fire," said Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA).
Many people, including those working on this effort, did not know the extent of the history of the exclusionary laws.
"I was aware of what had happened in California legislature and I decided to look into it...When I looked into it, I learned that much more had happened than I knew," said Martin Gold, attorney for Covington and Burling, LLP. His practice provided pro bono aid for the 1882 Project.
"I love the Congress. Today is the 40th anniversary of the day I started working here. Sept. 19th, 1972, So I care a lot about what the Congress does. I care a lot about what the Congress thinks. These laws...were simply antithetical to the fundamental purposes of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution. They were a disgrace to the memory of Congress. We wanted to try to make it right. So doing this took a lot of work. It was absolutely a labor of love. We loved doing it," said Gold.

Kauffman Stadium Renovation: "A Modern Classic"
That's when construction gets underway for the Kauffman Stadium Renovation project.
The even BIGGER date: Opening Day 2010.
That's when the new and improved Kauffman Stadium will be complete, and from what we've seen, fans have plenty to look forward to in the next three years.
The timetable for the $250 million renovation project was revealed for the first time in a joint effort by the Royals and Jackson County officials at a press conference today. Here are some highlights of the renovation project:
- New high definition scoreboard and control room.
- Crown Scoreboard, although new and improved, is here to stay!
- Fountain (Yes, they will still be here, too!) view terraces and seats.
- Improved kid's area – bigger Little K
- Taste of Kansas City food court – local restaurants and BBQ!
- Right field restaurant and bar.
- Larger and more interactive Royals Hall of Fame.
- Expanded concourses.
- New and upgraded concessions.
- And…more restrooms!
From this short list alone, you can tell that a lot of your ideas were incorporated with the planning. So, thanks for all the input Royals fans – this project is one we can all be proud of when it's complete!
Looking for more details about the Kauffman Stadium Renovation project? Check out the time table and some additional images of the proposed renovation design. So, what part of the renovation plans are you most excited about?
4 Comments
Keeping the crown scoreboard, and the fountains of course. That's what makes the stadium unique and still one of the most beautiful parks around.
I like the expanded concourses, the 360 degree access, and addition of attractions beyond the outfield. I dislike the idea of the reconfigured bullpens and seating around the fountains in left and right field. The seating around the fountains seem especially silly. Who wants to sit out there and get sprinkled on through out the game and not be able to hear b/c of having KC's version of Niagara Falls right behind you. I love the fountains and I'm glad they are staying, but do you really need to clutter the view of the Water Spectacular by putting bleachers in front of it. Preserve the beauty of the Water Spectacular in right field and the fountains in left. Avoid the temptation of greed to squeeze in a few hundred more seats and clutter up what is the most beautiful outfield landscape in all of baseball.
All the renovations are pretty cool, but I have to add some food for thought. Instead of expanding a stadium whos average attendance is less than 20,000 people, why not take the $250 million and spend it on better players. The last time we had a good season was 1986, 21 years ago! Being a big royals fan, this is very disappointing. I would highly recommend signing better players because this is very discouraging. I just wish our money would go to something more beneficial than some seats, a food court, and a high class walking area.
Wow. The view level concourse looks sort of like a mall. It's going to be great! Though, if the scoreboard's going to be bigger, than I assume they won't keep the original crown (the one on top right now) right? I hope that they do something with the original crown like memorabilia or something.
