CU Police Offer Free Bike Lights Encourage Nighttime Riding Safety
Submitted by David on
As Daylight Savings Time ends in two weeks and the days get shorter, the University of Colorado Police Department would like to encourage the campus community to use lights while riding bikes at night.
Riding in the dark without a light is both unsafe and illegal. Boulder law requires all cyclists traveling between sunset and sunrise to equip their bikes with both a mounted front white light and a rear red reflector. The fine for riding without proper lighting is $50.
CU, City of Boulder, Community Cycles and local businesses are teaming up for the fifth annual "Lighten Up Boulder" safety campaign to encourage the use of bike lights. The campaign offers 10 percent to 20 percent discounts on select bike light accessories at participating Boulder businesses. For more details and a coupon good through Nov. 14, see http://bit.ly/BoulderBikeLightCoupon.
But you also have a chance to get a bike light for free. This week, CU Police will be giving away 5 CatEye LED lights. Here's how to win:
- Follow us on the CU-Boulder Police social media pages, where we offer crime alerts, crime prevention tips and other safety information you should know.
- Facebook: "Like" us on this page and leave a comment on our bike light giveaway post on why riding with a light is important to you.
- Twitter: Follow us and send a tweet with @CUBoulderPolice in the message and tell us why riding with a light is important to you.
You must be a current CU-Boulder student and not a past CU Police safety campaign award winner. The contest ends at 11 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25.
We'll pick five winners.
Good luck and stay safe!

BOULDER — The ninth class that will be inducted into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame this November 15 will include 12 Golden Buffalo luminaries with an impressive list of accomplishments equal to or even surpassing any of the eight classes previously inducted since Byron "Whizzer" White was the first and sole inductee in 1998.
The dozen include the school's first and only Heisman Trophy winner and a Butkus Award recipient among five football lettermen, the Buffaloes' first and only two-time basketball All-American, a U.S. Open golf champion, a track performer who at one time set 10 world records, several NCAA champions, a Norwegian ski jumper that opened the floodgates for Scandinavians to attend CU, several with Olympic glory and the "Voice of the Buffs" who has called over 1,000 football and basketball games.
The 2012 class will be the largest inducted into the Hall since it was conceived in 1998, as 11 former Buffalo athletes plus one in very special category will join 47 individuals and the entire 1959 ski team which have been enshrined to date. Every decade between the 1930s and 1990s with the exception of the 1960s are represented in the class.
Those to be inducted are (click on each name for complete bios):
Frank Bernardi, Football/Baseball (1952-55)
He was selected not only for his football and baseball accomplishments, but for his heavy involvement in the Alumni C-Club for over 50 years. He rushed for 1,235 yards in his career, fifth-most by a Buff at the time, with his 6.33 average per carry still the fifth-best number by any of the school's 49 players who have gained 1,000 career yards.
Alan Culpepper, Cross Country & Track (1992-96)
A seven-time All-American in the three disciplines, he was the 1996 NCAA outdoor champion in the 5,000-meter run and still owns the school record in the 1500-meters. He has enjoyed a stellar professional career, including participation in two Olympic games and becoming a seven-time U.S. champion.
Mary Decker Slaney, Cross Country & Track (1977-79)
The first star in any women's varsity sport at Colorado, she basically established CU's record book in numerous events and was a six-time All-American before turning professional following her sophomore year. In 1982 alone, she set six world records and at one time or another set world marks in 10 different events. A two-time Olympian, she won the coveted Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States for 1982.
Boyd Dowler, Football (1956-58)
Playing in the famed single-wing offense under Dal Ward, Dowler earned honorable mention All-American and first-team All-Big 7 honors as a senior in 1958. He caught 41 passes for 628 yards and 6 touchdowns in his CU career, big numbers for a primarily rushing offense at the time; in 1989, he was selected as a member of CU's All-Century Football Team. Green Bay selected him in the third round in the 1959 NFL Draft, and he went on to be named the Rookie-of-the-Year and to the league's all-decade team for the 1960s as he played a major role in Green Bay's 1960s dynasty, leading the team in receiving seven seasons as the Packers won five NFL titles and posted victories in Super Bowls I and II.
Joe Garten, Football (1987-90)
An offensive guard, he was one of the first three unanimous All-Americans in CU history as a senior in 1990, along with tailback Eric Bieniemy and outside linebacker Alfred Williams that same year, both of whom are already in the Hall. He was also a consensus first-team All-American as a junior and a two-time, unanimous first-team All-Big Eight performer as a junior and senior. He was the runner-up for the Outland Trophy as a senior and still shares the school record for the most starts by an offensive player in school history with 44 from 1987-90.
Jack Harvey, Basketball (1937-40)
He remains the only CU basketball player to be selected twice as a first-team All-American (1938-39, 1939-40), when he led the Buffs to two Mountain States Conference titles, and as a senior, an N.I.T. title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Harvey scored 27 points in CU's 52-37 win at Denver in 1940, at the time the most points scored by a Buff in a single game and virtually an unheard total west of the Mississippi at the time. Known for his tough defense, he was a key performer in limiting the opponent to just 31.2 points per game his junior season and only 37.0 his senior year.
Steve Jones, Golf (1977-81)
One of a just a handful of four-time, first-team all-conference performers in any sport at Colorado, he was a second-team All-American as a senior in 1980-81 when he set school records that still stand, nine top 10 finishes and 10 top 20 efforts. The first recruit of legendary CU coach Mark Simpson (who passed in 2005), he went on to have a solid professional career, including a victory in the 1996 U.S. Open, and he is now making a comeback on the Champions Tour (he's 60th on the money list but has played just six events).
Leason "Pete" McCloud, Basketball (1939-42)
A first-team All-American, the third in CU basketball history and just the sixth CU athlete in any sport at the time, he was the Buffs' leading scorer on the 1941-42 team that reached the Final Four (he scored 19 points in a 46-44 win over Kansas that enabled CU to advance in the tournament). He was also a member of the 1939-40 team that won the N.I.T. and was invited to the first NCAA tournament. A two-time All-Mountain States performer (junior, senior seasons), he led the league in scoring both as a junior (14.1 per game) and senior (16.5, big for its day).
Vidar Nilsgard, Skiing (1971-74)
A key performer on the front end of CU's run to eight straight national titles in the 1970s, he was considered a huge star of his day in the most electrifying discipline, jumping. A three-time, first-team All-American, he was the 1971 and 1973 NCAA jumping champion (he was second in '74 and fourth in '72). He was a three-time Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association champion and a four-time member of the All-RMISA Jumping Team.
Matt Russell, Football (1993-96)
He won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker as a senior in 1996, when he was a consensus first-team All-American; also a two-time, first-team all-conference selection (All-Big Eight as a junior in '95; All-Big 12 as a senior in '96). He finished his career as the second all-time leading tackler in Colorado history (446), with his 282 unassisted tackles setting a school record that still stands, and played in 44 career games, including starts in the last 40. He helped coach the secondary at Colorado in 2000 while assistant coach Tom McMahon was battling cancer; in 2009, he joined the Denver Broncos as their director of college scouting and in 2012 was named their director of player personnel.
Rashaan Salaam, Football (1992-94)
He was just the fourth player in college football history at the time to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, and did so in an 11-game campaign in 1994 that included six ranked opponents. He led the nation in rushing (2,055 yards), scoring (144 points) and all-purpose yards (213.6 per game) in leading CU to an 11-1 record and winning the Heisman Trophy, the school's first and only, the Doak Walker Award (nation's top running back) and the Walter Camp Trophy (national player of the year).
Larry Zimmer, Announcer (1971-present)
He is the first inductee into the Hall who is not a former athlete, coach or administrator; but he's been a part of more football and men's basketball games than perhaps anyone else in school history, calling 481 for football and 525 in basketball, or 1,006 total, through the 2011 season. He was awarded an Honorary "C" in 1992, and was honored as the 15th recipient of the Chris Schenkel Award by the National Football Foundation in 2009, which recognizes those who have enjoyed a long and distinguished career broadcasting college football at a single institution.
All inductees were nominated by their peers in the Alumni C-Club or by members of the selection committee; over 60 names originally submitted were pared to 25 finalists and then voted on by the seven-member committee that produced one of the deepest classes in CU Athletic HOF history.
The group will be inducted in the Hall of Fame Thursday night, November 15, be part of the parade at the Pearl Street Stampede and a CU basketball game the next night and will be introduced at halftime of the next day's CU-Washington football game.

Agreed, any player that can rebound and be your 15th man is ok in my book.
Agreed, any player that can rebound and be your 15th man is ok in my book.
but he have to play not to have chicke @ bench. During playoffs he was playing only 1 game vs Celtics few mins.
I would love for him to finally get this contract. He never failed us, and the coaches still want him. I don't know if there's better options, but this would have something special to it.
His problem is he shoots 36% from the floor. 36% is horrible especially for a 7 footer that's taking a lot of shots in the paint.
True, he's not going to shoot a lot but it causes you hesitate on signing a guy especially since he's not dominant on the other end. I was all for signing him until Metro posted his offensive numbers, didn't realize his career FG% was so low (albeit on not that many shots).
How is Barron's defense?
Earl Barron is still a part-time NBA player (poor agent), didnt Earl Barron average a double-double as a Knicks with David Lee & Nate Robinson as a bigman pickup at the end of a season when we had bigman-coach Mark Aguire on our staff.
A PG decision-making controls the high-scoring of a bigman .. Mark Jackson & Ewing, Nash & Amare, Felton & Amare, Linsanity & Tyson Chandler. Earl Barron has been a PT contract player hired for rebounds not offense.
Woodson is going on intangibles. Grunwald is crunching the numbers.
I do not think this is a major rift, just the normal process of due diligence.
Once camp is over, I have to believe that Woodson and Grunwald will get together and come to an agreement, no matter which way this goes.
I love me some Earl and I hope that he ends up on the team, but I also have no problem letting a bunch of other guys compete for that last spot, as well as waiting on the waiver wire for the unexpected opportunity.

PANAMA CITY- This week's Golden Apple award winner teaches autistic students at Merritt Brown Middle School. Tracey Watts was nominated by a parent, Kathy Latza, who writes: "Mrs. Watts is always exploring new and better teaching strategies, researching new technology and educational tools, paying attention to what motivates her students as a group and individually understanding their strengths as well as their needs, resulting in her kids being the best they can be!"
In Mrs. Watts classroom every learning gain is celebrated, no matter how small. And sometimes with time, research, and technology, major breakthroughs occur. "One of the indicators of autism spectrum disorder is that our students have difficulty with communication. This particular student does not have a voice. She doesn't speak, she does have some words, but she really does not speak," explained Mrs. Watts. Thanks to an iPad, Sierra's thoughts are no longer locked inside. "Starting last year we were able to get some really deep thoughts out of her. Whereas before we had no idea of what was going on," said Mrs. Watts. That's just one example of the way she individualizes her teaching strategies to advocate for her students best.
"The autism spectrum requires a teacher to be super sensitive to students' sensitivity to light, sounds, attitudes. It requires a special touch, if you will, and Tracey has that," said Principal Charlotte Marshall. "She is very gentle and kind, reassuring, it makes our parents and students feel welcome at school every single day." "My goal really is to help them communicate and to have their voices not only be used, but be heard," said Mrs. Watts.
"We do fun things in class," said student George Jackson. Known for her cow jokes, Mrs. Watts was thrilled when another student, Jackson, took pride in sharing this: "What do you call a cow that meows? Cattle!"

A Buddhist story about freeing oneself from the tyranny of thoughts, paving way for a silent mind. A short story about leading one from the mind to the no mind, a state of eternal peace.Gautama Buddha one day asked one of his disciples to beg alms from a certain household and report to him at dusk. The monk returned to the master as per his command only to let him know that he would not beg for alms in that particular house again. When pressed for the reason, the monk answered, " I savoured the delicious food served and I suddenly felt an urge to eat something sweet. The lady of the house offered me a sweet dish. I then felt like sleeping and the lady immediately asked me to rest for a while. I was surprised by her ability to read my thoughts that I asked how she knew of my desires?""The lady replied, 'Witnessing my thoughts, my mind has become silent now that I can now see other thoughts as well"The monk continued to Buddha, " Looking at her I had sexual thoughts also and now I am embarrassed to see her again for alms as she would have read my sensual desire as well. So I do not want to visit her house for alms"The Buddha said that the monk ought to go to the particular house for alms again. He advised, "This time you will go as a changed person. Just be aware of your thoughts, every bite of your food and every step that you take. You will just have to watch every thought that arises, but do not co-operate with it . Disassociate with it and do not analyze it. No thought is yours, they come from outside!"The monk did as advised by Gautama Buddha. He remained a mere witness to his thoughts and there was no co-operation from his end. There was a change within him, an inner peace, though the world continued to remain the same.
Indian Great discoveries we can be proud of - but western world takes credit for these discoveries ? preserve thisIndian Pride... Does it exist ? We have so many reasons to take PRIDE IN BEING AN INDIAN. Here are a few examples of how great developments in human society were the contributions of great Bharatiyas (Indians), long before these discoveries were possible anywhere else. But to truly appreciate and understand there works and contribution one needs to learn Sanskrit, otherwise one will remain forever ignorant of these important texts. Who knows Sanskrit and is willing to research further? Anyone? This is the problem at its root and this is the true reason why we are so ignorant of these people and our great heritage.ARYABHATT(476 CE) MASTER ASTRONOMER AND MATHEMATICIANBorn in 476 CE in Kusumpur ( Bihar ), Aryabhatt's intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called 'Aryabhatiyam.' He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, 'This value has been given by the Hindus.' And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.****************

At school one day the teacher heard cat noises coming from the class, and she discovered little Jimmy with a cat up his jumper. She said, "Why have you got your cat at school?" Little Jimmy started crying. "I woke up this morning to hear the postman tell Mummy 'I'm gonna eat your pussy today!"
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business..Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.I have decided to choose one of you.. "The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED... I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
One day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St. Louis , Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym."At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.Everyone wondered: "Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here!"One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:"There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU." YOU are the only person who can revolutionize your life.YOU are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.YOU are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that YOU ARE the only one responsible for your life.

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store..Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your grocer y list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries..'Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed. The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more. The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.Louise thanked him and left the store... The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it.Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs..'THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do..Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune.Then please send this to all your friends and relatives.I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life.So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Amen & AmenDon't break this, please! Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.There is no cost but a lot of rewards. May you always walk with Angels God Bless!

Wilmington painter's art is an 'Ode to Joy'
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
"Ode to Joy," the extravagant final movement of Beethoven's final symphony, is one of the composer's most recognizable and most jubilant melodies. It's also the melody that Wilmington artist Mio Reynolds internally sang over and over again as she painted "Ode to Joy," the triptych title piece from her new exhibition opening at Costello's Piano Bar in downtown Wilmington on Saturday.
What: "Ode to Joy," a collection of new paintings by Wilmington artist Mio Reynolds.
When: The opening reception is 6-8 p.m. Saturday, May 11
Where: Costello's Piano Bar, 211 Princess St., downtown Wilmington
Details: 362-9666
The three-panel painting features Lillie Nichols – the young daughter of Wilmington residents Michael and Ozlem Nichols – waving golden trails of light through green mountains, red-flowering trees and azure rivers. The toddler's expression is pensive but full of wonder as she guides joyful light through vigorous nature.
When Reynolds painted "Ode to Joy," she heard Schiller's words not in the original German, or even in English, but in Japanese, her first language. Reynolds was born in Tokyo in 1938. She grew up within one block of the Musashino Art Academy, one of Japan's most esteemed art schools. At the age of 13, she was began to paint persistently.
"Then I got caught up in this you-need-to-develop-your-own-career mentality," Reynolds said. "You either become an artist and you go to art academy, or you become a cold, ordinary, hard-working citizen," she said, laughing.
Reynolds took the non-artist route. In the mid-'60s, after receiving an MA in Psychology from International Christian University in Tokyo, she and her husband moved to the United States, where she received a Ph.D. in Experimental Personality and Social Psychology from the University of Michigan. She then accepted a teaching position at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
But with two children to support, she didn't feel secure in her job. The fourth-time she was offered a one-year appointment, "I said au revoir to academia," Reynolds said. "I thought, 'This time, I'm not going to depend on any other people or institutions. I'm going to depend on my own capability.'"
Reynolds started her own research consulting firm in Washington, D.C., teaching herself the ropes as she went along and making a successful career out of it, consulting all sorts of international Japanese corporations and traveling the world. She visited art museums everywhere she went and continued to paint in her spare time.
Eight years ago, Reynolds moved to Wilmington and shifted her focus to painting. She still puts her social-psychology background to work, though, especially when evaluating her own performance as a painter.
"I strive to produce beautiful, strong artwork," Reynolds said, "which I've seen at the best art museums in the world. After being exposed to that, I realized what kind of powerful impact the art provided to the viewers. So, compared to those, my art is at the bottom. It's bad. It's poor."
It's a humbling, but potentially motivating, way to judge your own performance.
"I wanted to create something powerful," Reynolds said. "If you watch the power of love – parents sacrifice themselves for the sake of kids for the thing called love, unconditional love – and at the moment you capture that strong unconditional love, it captures you … You want to capture this changing moment, this phase, and appeal to the viewer to share it. If I can do that, I shall be very, very happy."
Reynolds' figures are engaged in subtle but in-depth action. Each painting is stylized in a way reminiscent of stained glass, with separate colors sectioned off rather than blended together, and they come with all the positive light associated with that medium.
"I like to be positive," Reynolds said. "I'm a realist, and there are such ugly, ugly things going on. However, I like to think more people are good than bad. And even bad people, under certain circumstances, become good."
One year after Reynolds moved to Wilmington, she was diagnosed with cancer and, after treatment, given five years to live. That was seven years ago. She keeps painting and keeps eating well, growing her own vegetables in a small garden behind her house. She attributes her health to her positive outlook on life.
"The power of the brush and the power of music and the power of very good food," Reynolds said, pausing to look up at a breezy, partly cloudy sky. "And the power of Poseidon and Apollo. When I came to Wilmington, I fell in love with the sky, which is so dynamic."
"Look," Reynolds said, pointing up. "Poseidon and Apollo reside in Wilmington, don't you think so? The beauty of this nature."

Murder suspect yells at judge
GOSHEN — Leeshawn Rodgers appeared in Elkhart Circuit Court Thursday morning to face murder charges in the April shooting death of Eddie Johnson and was removed from the courtroom while yelling about a lack of evidence in the case.
Rodgers, 19, was wheeled into the courtroom on Thursday, May 23, strapped to a restraint chair which left him able only to shake his head and wiggle his fingers.
Two Elkhart County officers stood behind him for the short proceedings.
Judge Terry Shewmaker advised Rodgers of the charges against him, which carry a sentence of 45 to 65 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. The advisory sentence is 55 years.
Rodgers said he plans to hire his own attorney.
Shewmaker asked if Rodgers had any questions for the court.
"Y'all got me down here on the lack of this evidence," Rodgers said, raising his voice and cursing.
"I advise you to watch your language," Shewmaker said. "You are in a court of law."
"Make sure you got some evidence next time you bring me down here!" Rodgers yelled as the officers wheeled him out of the courtroom.
An attorney status conference is scheduled for May 30. His trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 14.
Johnson was shot at 4:20 p.m. April 30 while standing in the front yard of a home at Cleveland Avenue and Sixth Street in Elkhart. He was transported to Elkhart General Hospital by bystanders and was pronounced dead.
Rodgers was arrested in Indianapolis on May 13 and transported back to Elkhart County on Wednesday.

your welcome
devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.
1.) national spirit or aspirations.
2.) devotion and loyalty to one's own nation; patriotism.
3.) excessive patriotism; chauvinism.
...you were saying?
Patriotism - Loyalty to one's country
Nationalism - Loyalty to one's nation
Patriots believe the Republic of Ireland is pretty nice. Nationalists believe that the Nation of Ireland deserves the whole island.
i think the terms are pretty much interchangeable. i dont know where you got that distinction.
Canadian social studies curriculum.
Also this:
It has had different meanings over time and its meaning is highly dependent upon context, geography, and philosophy. Excluding differences caused by these dependancies, Patriotism is a devotion to one's country. In a generalized sense that applies to all countries and peoples, patriotism is a devotion to one's country for no other reason than being a citizen of that country.
It is a related sentiment to nationalism, but nationalism is not necessarily an inherent part of patriotism
In other words, most members of the IRA are Nationalists, as they don't fight for Northern Ireland because they're citizens but because of their cultural and ethnic descent.
Their extreme nationalism was frightening.
Synonyms: patriotism, patriotic sentiment, flag-waving, xenophobia, chauvinism, jingoism.
We have conflicting sources
The government has been infiltrated by the British supporters. Spineless twits who lick so much tea-drinker asshole as to be unable to speak or even think without first asking their British overlord's opinion.
Any true patriot would ignore their government officials and SEEK A UNITED IRELAND ONCE AND FOR ALL.
i'm in the us army serving my country. i'm pretty patriotic but totally agree with PK on this. the us was founded on secular ideals and many of our founding fathers were deist who's god were more like Spinoza or were atheist. considering how in england everyone had to be the kings religion at the time, it's no wonder that the us wanted to be secular.
it does surprise me that america has become the most christian nation while the people of england have a secular mindset.

Rock Hall's Education Coordinator Beams to France Via Distance Learning
I've never been to France. I've always wanted to visit (the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe – who wouldn't?) Last Thursday I got my chance – albeit in a virtual sense – to visit France through a distance learning connection. Using the Rock Hall's state-of-the-art technology, I connected to a group of teachers and students at a conference in Paris for videoconferencing manufacturer Polycom. The connection consisted of a 30-minute discussion of the Rock Hall's On the Road program, complete with an overview of our award-winning classes and a summary of the Rock Hall's educational mission.
Since the Rock Hall launched its On the Road program in 2005, we've reached classrooms in 38 states and five countries (France being the sixth). What made this connection unique, however, is that it's been about 8 years since my last high school French exam, resulting in me being limited to what sounds like a poor Pepé Le Pew impersonation! Fortunately, the site in Paris had a translator, which, although adding its own limitations, certainly helped reduce the language barrier. The audience members in Paris were extremely interested to hear about how we use rock and roll to teach students about language arts, technology, social studies, and more. And, even though we didn't speak the same language, we shared a common interest in rock and roll music and that served as an immediate connector.
As teachers around the globe strive to create students with 21st century skills, it's important to create 21st century classrooms – and what better opportunity than to provide a worldwide audience with an interactive discussion with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?! I look forward to many more connections to classrooms across the globe, teaching children the ways in which rock and roll has played a part in some of the most important social, cultural and political issues in modern history.
Au revoir et adieu…

The Elyse Pantke White Foundation held the 3rd annual Forever Pink Prom at The Tower at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Feb. 26, raising $15,000 in one night for breast cancer research through the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. More than 400 guests danced to music by Complete Music and enjoyed hors d'oeuvres by Le Croissant and tasty drinks from Ketel One Vodka, Nuvo and Copper Ridge Wines. The entire venue was decked out in pink by Alliant Event Services, and guests were equally as stylish, wearing pink ties, boas, dresses and wigs to support the fight against breast cancer.
Elyse White was diagnosed with breast cancer on Nov. 14, 2003 at age 29, and after the diagnosis charity work/fundraising soon became a big part of her life. She passed away in 2008 at 34 years old. The foundation was created in her memory. Visit www.elysewhite.org for more info.

No. 7 Lewis Tops Men's Volleyball 3-1; EIVA Return Awaits Saturday
The seventh-ranked Lewis University Flyers completed their season sweep of a game Princeton men's volleyball team Tuesday night, winning the final two sets to cap a 3-1 win over the Tigers.
Princeton, which fell to 8-6, closed its two-match Midwestern trip with two losses against nationally ranked opponents. One night after nearly knocking off 14th-ranked Loyola in a five-set thriller, the Tigers split a pair against MIVA favorite Lewis before ultimately running out of gas against the explosive Flyers.
Lewis took the opener 25-18, but Princeton battled back for a 25-22 win in the second. The Tigers hit .324 in a set that featured nine ties and six lead changes, and opened up a late three-point lead with kills from Michael Dye and Pat Schwagler. A combo block from Davis Waddell and Will Siroky earned a set ball, and junior middle Brad Howard finished the set with one of his four kills.
Lewis took off from there, though, and hit .600 and .385 in the final two sets to win comfortably.
Schwagler led Princeton with 16 kills, though the offense was well balanced throughout the match. Three other players had at least seven kills, including Dye, who had his second-highest total of the season with eight kills. Both Schwagler and Devin Stearns had eight digs apiece, while Waddell paced the offense with 40 assists.
While another win over a ranked team would have been impressive, Princeton knows its path to the NCAA Championships goes through the EIVA. The Tigers can move into a share of second place in the league Saturday night when they head to Rutgers-Newark for a 2 pm showdown.
Following that match, Princeton will prepare for a huge home weekend with Saint Francis (Thursday) and No. 13 Penn State (Friday).

You know I have too much time on my hands if I found this:
You know I have too much time on my hands if I found this:
I remembered that song back in the day until I grew tired of the English version Pokemon anime. Hey I listened to its Japanese counterpart Purin song too! But I don't have it anymore because of a hard drive crash. I wonder if I can look for that song on one of those old Pocket Monsters anime soundtracks.
Pu....PuPuPuPu........PuPuPu....... yeah it's something like that from the Japanese lyrics IIRC.
Hmm, this song is interesting. I mean, I've heard Jigglypuff sing on the anime back when I used to watch it, but I haven't heard this.
=) Thanks for linking it.
JigglyPuff is the shit.
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
It is death threating!
Thanks Walrus!
Now I have that song on my MP3 Player!
^Made By EarthDragon! Thank-you!^
I Hate You, You Hate Me... ~<3
i'm getting tired..
Silence is gold
Duck tape is silver!
I love myself.....lol
That is sooooo cute!
I'd love to have it as my ringtone, or as my alarm! I'd always be happy waking up and ready to greet the day!
Or alternatively severely pissed up and ready to kill everyone!
Thank you for the link!
Oh and btw, Hoen_dweller#257, you do know that it's not Duck tape but Duct tape? Or was that for comic effect?
I'm not trying to be mean I just thought I'd notify you!
Don't be mad at me!
The sig is hilarious!

WIP Wednesday #12
Ongoing projects:
Don't Call Me Betsy's Sliced Coins Quilt-Along
I am so loving my Pips layer cake in Elizabeth's design! The prints almost seem to sparkle, don't they? The next step is lots of very blue sashing! This quilt, which is part of the Margaret's Hope Chest Wrapped in Hope program, is my top priority right now. It will be a birthday gift for a 12-year-old girl named Alissa whose mother is in prison. (Heartbreaking, isn't it?) The deadline to mail it off to Alissa is just a little more than two weeks away. Lots to do on it before then!
Oops, I'm already falling behind on my Blockapalooza blocks. Well, maybe Snowapalooza will give me a chance to catch back up, what with not being able to leave my house and all.
Ready for binding:
All of a sudden, I have not one, not two, but three quilts that are ready to be bound: Modern Meadow, Urban Lattice, and Fall Equinox. How did that happen? That's a lot of hand-stitching. Fortunately, Snowmageddon is here! There is actually a "civil danger warning" in my area—nobody's supposed to leave the house if they can help it. So I get to sit on the couch and stitch! My Urban Lattice quilt is already being hand-stitched as we speak—there's a newborn baby girl with her name on that one. (Literally. I made my first quilt label last night.)
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley
On hold for now:
King-size Intersections
Central Park jelly roll quilt
That Girl quilt-along
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 0
Completed projects - 1 (My secret project! I'll be sharing it soon!)
Currently in progress - 11 (down one from last week)
So come link up! What—you have something better to do? Battening down the hatches maybe, or digging a snow den for warmth? Let's see what you've got!

Happy snowmaggedon hand-piecing! That's a way to make lemonade out of lemons (or lemon slushies). Hey--did any of you other linkers have trouble inserting the image you wanted today? I clicked on "Select" when I put up my linkie, but it wouldn't let me put in my chosen jpg file address today. Thanks for any insights and happy quilting progress!

text: Feb 9, 2013 01:41 Reports: LSU has hired Cam Cameron as new offensive coordinator Reports: LSU has hired Cam Cameron as new offensive coordinator Les East| Advocate sportswriter Feb. 8, 2013; 3:38 p.m. Comments LSU appears on the verge of hiring former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in a similar capacity, though neither side would confirm that Friday. Several media outlets, citing unnamed sources, reported Cameron had been hired or was in serious negotiations to be hired. At least one current LSU player and one player on last season's team tweeted the hiring was a done deal. It was unclear what would be the fate of current offensive coordinator Greg Studrawa, who also serves as the Tigers offensive line coach. LSU incoming wide receiver Avery Johnson, who already is enrolled in school, tweeted, "Just in. Cam Cameron will be Our New Offensive Coordinator at LSU. Great hire Coach Miles." Former Tigers tackle Josh Dworaczyk, a leader on last year's team, tweeted, "Cam Cameron is the new offensive coordinator at LSU! Good luck boys go bring the crystal ball (national championship trophy) back to The Boot (Louisiana)." It was unclear if those tweets were based on information from LSU or media and Internet speculation. LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette responded to the speculation with this tweet: "Despite reports there will be no announcement today regarding any matters related to LSU football. Enjoy the weekend & Happy Mardi Gras!" When asked by The Advocate for a response to the reports, Cameron's agent, Gary O'Hagan said, "I don't think that's true." Then he hung up the telephone. The hiring would make sense for a variety of reasons. LSU coach Les Miles and Cameron worked together as assistants at Michigan from 1987-93 and are close. LSU's inconsistent offense was a key factor in the Tigers finishing 10-3 last season, after they began as national championship contenders. An inability to gain a first down and run out the clock was a major factor in a 21-17 loss to Alabama and a 25-24 loss to Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Tigers failed to score a touchdown in their other loss, a 14-6 defeat at Florida. When asked about potential staff changes, Miles has generally sidestepped the issue. When asked about it in an interview with The Advocate on Jan. 10, Miles wouldn't answer. After Miles' refusal to answer seemed to raise concerns among some recruits, Miles gave The Advocate a statement a day later. "(The offense) is not something that I'm thinking about right now," Miles said. "We are certainly going to make improvements there. But right now all I'm focused on is recruiting and finishing out this signing class on a high note." LSU did finish recruiting on a high note Wednesday as recruiting services ranked the Tigers' class as No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 in the country. When asked about potential staff changes in the wake of the end of recruiting, Miles said Wednesday, "I haven't given much thought to changes in this staff at this point." He went on to praise the "team recruiting" by the staff, citing Studrawa for going beyond his geographic recruiting area to help land offensive line recruits. Miles called the group of five linemen the best such group he has had in nine years. The irony of Cameron's hiring would be that his firing in December was largely seen as a key factor in offensive improvement that helped bring Baltimore to its 34-31 victory over San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Cameron, 52, was credited with the development of fifth-year quarterback Joe Flacco, who was voted Most Valuable Player in the Super Bowl, but it was a recommitment to the running game under new coordinator Jim Caldwell that helped fuel the Ravens' championship run. As head coach at Indiana University, his alma mater, from 1997-2001 Cameron compiled an 18-37 record and was head coach of the Miami Dolphins for one season when they went 1-15 in 2007. Cameron was offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers from 2002-07, and helped build one of the NFL's better offenses around running back LaDainian Tomlinson, quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates. He also coached Saints quarterback Drew Brees early in his career in San Diego. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

This year's performances will be at Park City Community Church on Dec. 14, St Luke's Episcopal Church on Dec. 16 and a St. Mary's Catholic Church on Dec. 21.
The concerts will feature a mix of fun and reverent Christmas carols and arrangements that were selected from boxes and boxes of music, said Marty Stattin, a longtime member of the Park City Singers.
"We have a huge inventory of holiday songs that we've performed over the past 17 years and we have a committee that goes through the list and chooses what we'll sing," Stattin explained. "We base the selections on what we think people will want to hear."
This year the singers will perform 14 works, including a new medley called "This Is Christmas."
"Some of the selections are serious and reverent and, the others are the ones that families know, like 'Here Comes Santa Claus' and things like that," Stattin said. "We do try to make our concerts appealing to families, and all the people who come to town to celebrate the holidays at Christmastime."
This season, the choir, directed by Debra Cook, voice coach of the Utah Conservatory, has close to 60 performers, of those, 14 are new members.
"The uniqueness about the Park City Singers is that we're open to anyone who loves to sing," Stattin said.
The singers, along with accompanist Shelle Jennings, began rehearsing one day a week for the Christmas concerts at the beginning of September.
"It started to feel like the holiday season back then, because the kids were in school and we could feel Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up," Stattin said.
The Park City Singers will present their annual Christmas concerts at the Park City Community Church, 4501 S.R. 224, on Friday, Dec. 14, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 4595 Silver Springs Dr. in Snyderville, on Sunday, Dec. 16, and at St. Mary's Catholic Church. 1505 White Pine Canyon Rd., on Friday, Dec. 21. All concerts will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 10 and younger. Tickets can be purchased at Smith's, the Market, Cole Sport and at the door.

Biz Picture - Recap of the week's top business stories
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 1:51 a.m.
N.C. to provide incentives to GE
CASTLE HAYNE | North Carolina has agreed to provide incentives as part of a state-local economic package to get GE Aviation to expand at four sites, including Castle Hayne.
The state will provide a Job Development Investment Grant of up to 12 annual payments equal to 75 percent of the state personal income tax withholding from the eligible new jobs, according to a news release.
GE Aviation announced in June that it would add 242 jobs – possibly 35 of them at the Castle Hayne facility – and invest $195 million over five years in the state if a set of local and state incentives could be lined up.
Kroger buying Harris Teeter
MATTHEWS | Kroger, the country's largest supermarket operator, has agreed to buy Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. for about $2.44 billion.
Harris Teeter operates 212 stores in eight Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states, while Kroger has 2,419 stores in 31 states.
After the deal closes, Harris Teeter will become a Kroger subsidiary and will continue to be led by members of its current senior management. There are no plans to close stores and the company will remain based in Matthews, N.C.
Home sales edged up in June
NEW HANOVER COUNTY | Wilmington-area home sales continued to climb in June, though the pace of the increase slowed from previous months.
Sales of homes rose to 577 last month compared with 556 in June 2012, according to statistics released last week by the Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors.
Though up only about 3.7 percent last month, sales have shown year-over-year improvement for at least the past 12 months.
Runway project almost finished
WILMINGTON | A runway project that's been more than a decade in the making for the Wilmington International Airport will finally be completed by August, officials say.
The airport's north-south runway – which runs from Smith Creek to near the intersection of Blue Clay Road and North Kerr Avenue – will see 750 feet added to its northern end. The addition is necessary to make up for a loss of footage several years ago.
TV series to feature homebuilder
CAROLINA BEACH | A DIY Network reality series will chronicle the construction of a New Hanover County couple's new Carolina Beach home.
From the ground-breaking to the big reveal, "Raising House" production crews will be on hand to capture the process, said Todd Piper, owner of Tidal Wave Construction, the Carolina Beach company that's building the home.
Premiere dates for the second season and the Carolina Beach episode have not yet been set.

Beetroot Juice Powers Up Exercise Stamina!
Beets are powerful juju. Not only will they turn your pee red, but a new study in the Journal of Applied Physiology, claims beetroot juice boosts stamina and can help you exercise longer.
The research team believes that the findings could be of great interest to endurance athletes. They could also be relevant to elderly people or those with cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic diseases.
The research team conducted their study with eight men aged between 19 and 38. They were given 500ml per day of organic beetroot juice for six consecutive days before completing a series of tests, involving cycling on an exercise bike. On another occasion, they were given a placebo of blackcurrant cordial for six consecutive days before completing the same cycling tests.
After drinking beetroot juice the group was able to cycle for an average of 11.25 minutes, which is 92 seconds longer than when they were given the placebo. This would translate into an approximate 2% reduction in the time taken to cover a set distance.
And root vegetables, like beets and carrots, are loaded with fiber and powerful antioxidants, like cartonoids and betacyanin, which protect against cancer by stopping cell mutations.

At Glance
This is overall, a pretty boring, yet very solid RBY team have have cooked up. I have had much success with it, even beating Smogon veterans like Chaos with it. Because of how standard it is, I don't really mind if you use it, as outside of a few tweaks this team has been ripped off another anyway. I am mainly posting this this to both encourage discussion of RBY, and have a bit of a tutorial on how to 'make' and RBY team.
Team Building
1. Tauros. Tauros is an amazing pokemon in RBY, an amazing end game sweeper than can literally just win games with luck. This thing can turn an losing game, into a victory. Tauros deserves a place on almost every self respecting RBY team, so here it is.
2. Golem or Rhydon. Golem and Rhydon deserve a place on most teams for their ability to stomach Hyper Beams and hit hard back, their resistances also allow them to counter Zapdos, among other things. Solid defenses also make them great overall tanks. I choose Golem because I find Explosion to be much more effective at getting rid of threats, such as Slowbro and Snorlax, rather than Rhydon's higher attack.
3. Special Sponge. A sponge is best next, as one always needs a Pokemon to stomach those Blizzards and Psychics. Chansey is the best, so I choose her of course, also she is adorable. <3
4. Special Sweeper. A special attacker is never a bad idea. The choice here is usually between Alakazam and Starmie for the place. I choose Starmie because Alakazam is a bit of a pain to use in practice because of its low defenses and only one use able real attack.
5. Lead. A lead is a must in this metagame to gain an early advantage, sleep leads are the best: Gengar, Exeggutor, and Jynx. I choose Exeggutor because its defenses helped complement the team, being a solid wall to Rhydon and Golem, also, it screws over Gengar leads which are very common.
6. Glue / Secondary Sweeper / Misc. This is whatever you want, be it another sweeper like Persian, or glue for your team, or some crazy Pokemon you are experimenting with like Poliwrath. I choose Zapdos because Exeggutor looked like a pain for my team to face in theory.
7. Playing and Fixing up the Team. Actually play with the team you built, and find out what it right and wrong with it. In my case, Zapdos was ok, but I often found that I wanted another physical attacker to combat the likes of Chansey, while I still wanted a solid special sponge, Snorlax was the obvious switch, and it worked out great. There are some other tweaks I make to the moves in the process.
The Team
- Sleep Powder
- Psychic
- Explosion
- Mega Drain
The standard set really, Sleep Powder to put things to sleep right away as a lead. Psychic is the main stab move of course. Explosion allows me to go boom and kill threats like Chansey, Snorlax and Slowbro on the spot. It can also be useful vs opposing Exeggutors after I have put something to sleep or Tauros attacking me. I choose Mega Drain over Stun Spore here because I find, more often than not, people will leave their Golem / Rhydon in on Exeggutor, allowing me to 1HKO it and heal a bit of health in the process, besides, I am better off exploding on lets say an opposing Tauros. In game it either becomes sleep fodderr, or combats Gengar as a lead. Even if asleep, I keep it alive to face Rhydon and Golem, which can't do much to it even if asleep.
- Body Slam
- Hyper Beam
- Blizzard
- Earthquake
The big man himself. The set is pretty standard, Body Slam STAB for massive damage and paralysis, Hyper Beam to clean things off and sweep in the end game, Blizzard for Golem and Rhydon, and Earthquake for Gengar. I try to keep Tauros, for the most part, out of the battle battle until the end, leaving me pretty safe to sweep most of the time. At times, I will bring it out to weaken sleeping Pokemon or to finish off an annoying threat with Hyper Beam if need be. It is important not to fodder Tauros, as it can sweep even in red HP in the end game. The only time I am risking with Tauros is when I am losing, to possibly gain a luck advantage, or against enemy Tauros, which it is more important to take out that Tauros or at the least weaken it.
- Earthquake
- Body Slam
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
I choose Golem for the Explosion, which is a great tool in battle. Take for example fighting an opposing Tauros, all Rhydon can do is Earthquake to do a little damage, and then die to two Blizzards, Golem on the other hand can take the Blizzard and Explode on Tauros, doing massive damage to it. Explosion is also I fine clutch tool vs various slow pokemon which can be annoying: Slowbro, Chansey, Snorlax, and it is helpful in the end game if I am up to just explode. I do try to keep Golem alive long enough to see their whole team, as not having Golem vs Zapdos is annoying. Body Slam is used more often than not against threats, as you know they will switch, so you might as well attempt to paralyze them, Earthquake is solid STAB in the end game though. Rock Slide is the most debatable move here, but I still find it useful vs Zapdos to kill it quicker, and its a solid STAB move to use if I am not sure what they are switching in at times.
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Softboiled
- Thunder Wave
The standard set once again, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt for bolt-beam coverage, and Ice Beam to freeze, Softboiled to heal. I prefer Thunder Wave over Counter because it is more useful in the long run, to cripple threats for a Tauros sweep, besides a paralyses Tauros is just as dead as one killed with Counter. I often attempt to get Chansey paralyzed in battle, so that I can win freeze-wars with other Chanseys, Starmie in particular is a magnet to paralysis. I am more willing to fodder Chansey than most people I find, as after Alakazam or Starmie are gone, Chansey usually doesn't have that much of a reason to stick around, although I try to keep it alive long enough to paralyze them, the more defensive nature of this team is a testament to that.
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Hydro Pump
Blizzard and Thunderbolt form solid bolt-beam coverage, which Thunderwave can cripples opposing Pokemon such as Tauros. Thunderbolt is particular is useful against opposing Lapras, which can be a pain to handle. Hydro Pump is the most unusual thing about this team, I forgo Recover to get the STAB move, I find Hydro Pump very effective to kill opposing threats such as Tauros if need by, always 1HKOing Rhydon and Golem is nice to, the crits with Hydro Pump are crazy dangerous, doing even massive damage to Chansey. How I use Starmie depends on how much I need it, if everything is already slow or paralyzed, I might fodder, it, but if I need to kill something or out speed Tauros, I keep it around.
- Body Slam
- Surf
- Selfdestruct
- Hyper Beam
Finally the chubster. Snorlax solves a lot of problems for this team simply by existing, taking all kinds of hits and attacking back with strong STAB moves. Body Slam is the main attack, it not only is powerful, but spreads paralysis. Surf can kill Rhydon and Golem with a little damage, nuff said. If Snorlax is close to death, or if I really need a threat dead, Snorlax can go boom and do crazy damage to just about everything. Hyper Beam allows Snorlax to clean off threats without Exploding, doing double the damage of Body Slam in one shot. I do at times wish I had Earthquake, as Gengar counters this set, but Exeggutor deals with Gengar well enough and Hyper Beam is just to useful to give up. I use Snorlax to check just about everything in emergency situations, making it a great glue which holds this team together.
Code:Exeggutor (F) Trait: Chlorophyll - Sleep Powder - Explosion - Psychic - Mega Drain Tauros (M) Trait: Intimidate - Body Slam - Hyper Beam - Earthquake - Blizzard Chansey (F) Trait: Natural Cure - Softboiled - Thunder Wave - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam Golem Trait: Rock Head - Earthquake - Body Slam - Explosion - Rock Slide Starmie Trait: Illuminate - Blizzard - Thunderbolt - Thunder Wave - Hydro Pump Snorlax Trait: Immunity - Body Slam - Surf - Hyper Beam - Selfdestruct

After a record-breaking season, Ted Ligety is coming home to Park City today.
Ligety, who won three gold medals at the Alpine World Championships in Schladming, Austria, and also claimed the World Cup giant slalom season title, will be at Park City Mountain Resort today for a homecoming celebration.
In front of his hometown fans, Ligety will answer questions, sign autographs and make a speech.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt and Park City Mayor Dana Williams will also speak at the event.
After the speeches, musician Bryon Friedman (a U.S. Ski Team alum) will perform a concert on the PayDay Deck.
"This is an opportunity for Park City to celebrate a true hometown champion in Ted Ligety," Marolt said. "His performance this winter solidified his legacy as one of the legends of alpine skiing. The entire community played a role in his success over the years."
Ligety's GS title was the fourth of his career. He managed to hold off Austrian Marcel Hirscher for the title, though Hirscher claimed the overall title.
His three gold medals (super G, GS, and super-combined) at the 2013 FIS Alpine World Championships in Schladming marked the first time since 1968 that a male alpine skier has won three golds at a single World Championships.
Next season, Ligety will attempt to more Olympic gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. He won gold in the combined at the 2006 Torino Games.
All events are free to the public.

The Agent-directed Simulation (ADS) Symposium is the premier platform to explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent community as well as the simulation community.
The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents.
Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows:
Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so.
The theme of ADS'13 is based on the observation of the following premises:
The growth of new advanced distributed computing standards along with the rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that acts as a critical driver for the development of next generation systems. These standards revolve around service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, Grid, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence etc. The supporting role that intelligent agents play in the development of such systems is becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the analysis and design of such systems.
The use of emergent agent technologies at the organization, interaction (e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and agent levels (i.e. reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance the state of the art in various application domains. However, modeling and testing complex agent systems that are based on such technologies is difficult. Using agent-supported simulation techniques for testing complex agent systems is up and coming field.
To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application, there is a need for tools, agent programming languages, and methodologies to analyze, design, and implement complex, non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing agent-based simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable developing agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities.
ADS 2013 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has assembled a guide and facilitated discussion for films with LGBT content at Sundance this year.
From the film Love Free or Die
cineGLAAD raises awareness and amplifies the voices of filmmakers who highlight the LGBT experience. A complete list of those films is available on the cineGLAAD website. These films promote understanding, increase acceptance and advance equality for the nation's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population.
"The Sundance Film Festival has been a starting point for some of the most prominent films with LGBT stories. It's these images that are building support for equality by helping Americans understand the common ground we all share," said Mike Thompson, Acting President of GLAAD. "GLAAD is proud to help raise the profile of those films and filmmakers who highlight the LGBT experience as an official Institute Associate at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival."
cineGLAAD panels will be held at the Sundance Film Festival's Filmmaker Lodge located on the second floor of the Elks Building (550 Main Street) in Park City.
cineGLAAD panel discussions are free and open to the public, but guests must RSVP, so plan accordingly. Panel discussions are scheduled for Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Priority entry will be given to 2012 Sundance Film Festival pass holders.
RSVP at glaad.org/cineGLAAD.
Relying on the Kindness of Strangers: Funding Film Through Social Media
The advent of online social networking has opened up new fundraising strategies for filmmakers. The panel will address the difficult road that LGBT-inclusive and independent films travel before and after being made.
Discussion begins Saturday, Jan. 21, 4 p.m.
Keep the Lights On: What Modern Queer Cinema Looks Like
From the film Keep the Lights On
Addressing issues facing the contemporary gay community, including fidelity and addiction, Keep the Lights On also tells a deeply personal story that unfolds with startling authenticity. Join writer/director Ira Sachs (of award-winning Forty Shades of Blue fame) and others for a discussion on the film's creation and its place in the queer cinema canon.
Monday, Jan. 23, 4:30 p.m.
Love Free or Die: Bishop Robison Between the LGBT Community and The Church
Bishop Robinson of the Episcopal Church became the first openly-gay man to be elected to that position in 2003. His appointment started a movement that has altered how the Episcopal Church relates to the LGBT population, which has been an emotionally-charged and complex relationship. The new documentary Love Free Or Die takes a closer look at this relationship through the eyes of Bishop Gene Robinson. Join Bishop Robinson, director Macky Alson and other key players as they discuss making the documentary and discus the future of LGBT people and the church.
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 4:30 p.m.
