Rock band Failsafe may have started out playing in Chorley pubs but this year they're going Stateside.
The quintet, which includes Jim Norris, 27, from Judeland, Astley Village and ex-Holy Cross High School student Matt Cogley, also 27, from Montcliffe Avenue, are currently touring the UK in support of their third album 'Routines'.
And the band, who appeared in series three of the smash-hit Channel 4 comedy The Inbetweeners, are hosting a free gig in Preston's Mad Ferret this Friday, (April 6) to thank their local fans, before heading to America in June.
Vocalist Jim said that the new album was the band's 'most rounded work yet.' He said: "It's another step forward for us. We've developed slightly from our punk roots, there's a lot of melody on there. That's what we concentrate most on: making it memorable and melodic.
"We've served the songs better on this album than we ever have done before."
Having honed their skills in venues such as the now-defunct Harry's Bar, the Rose and Crown, Chorley Community Centre and Chorley Labour Club, the band's biggest break to date came when they were invited to play at the illustrious SXSW festival in Texas in 2010.
Now they will be returning with US pop-punk act Hawthorne Heights, after signing to their Cardboard Empire label.
The band's second album 'The Truth Is…' featured a cover shot of Chorley train shot taken by guitarist Matt's brother Martin, and the band continue to look to home for inspiration, having shot a promotional video for 'Routines' in Leyland's Worden Park.
"We're quite in touch with the places where we're from. Home is home. We try to put Chorley on the map whenever we can," said Jim.

White nose syndrome highlights need for sustained investment in research
As researchers learn more about Pseudogymnoascus (Geomyces) destructans, the fungus that causes White Nose syndrome in bats, more becomes known about what makes this disease so resilient and seemingly invincible. Various estimates put the bat death toll in the United States in the vicinity of about six million bats since it was first discovered seven years ago. The fungus infects bats during their winter hibernation months when their...
Efforts to mitigate white-nose syndrome continue amid new reports
This post contributed by Terence Houston, Science Policy Analyst In recent weeks, federal scientists have reported that the fungal disease Geomyces destructans, commonly known as white-nose syndrome, has extended its reach across the eastern region of the United States. On March 29, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced that the disease was reported in Fort Delaware State Park, and reports...

I have the following function that will convert a string into a numeric data type:
template <typename T>
bool ConvertString(const std::string& theString, T& theResult)
std::istringstream iss(theString);
return !(iss >> theResult).fail();
This does not work for enumerated types, however, so I have done something like this:
template <typename T>
bool ConvertStringToEnum(const std::string& theString, T& theResult)
std::istringstream iss(theString);
unsigned int temp;
const bool isValid = !(iss >> temp).fail();
theResult = static_cast<T>(temp);
return isValid;
(I'm making the assumption that theString has a valid value for the enumerated type; I'm using this mainly for simple serialization)
Is there a way to create a single function that combines both of these?
I've played a bit with the template arguments but haven't come up with anything; it'd just be nice not to have to call one function for enumerated types and another for everything else.
Thank you

Spokes on Southern http://www.spokesonsouthern.com/ in a bicycle friendly neighborhood restaurant and ale house. With 4 burgers ($9.49 & $9.99) on the menu the Carver burger ($9.99) sounded the most interesting and filing to me.
The thin beef pattie comes drizzled with a spicy aioli and topped with 2 thick onion rings, avocado, pico de gallo and a slice of pepper jack cheese with spring greens below the burger. Needing to eat the onion rings separately to make eating it more manageable I found the burger to have a nice hint of spice from the aioli along with a fresh and crisp taste from the other toppings that were served between a toasted buns. Unfortunately for the burger itself I found it to be cooked well beyond the medium rare I had requested. Expecting the burger I saw on the website, if I had known it was a pattie I would not have ordered it medium rare. The burger has potential if the beef on the website matched the beef served.
Waffle fries or sweet potato fries are a couple of the options for sides and I found the waffle fries to acceptable.
Spokes on Southern is at 1470 E Southern Ave. Tempe 85282 (480)-307-9920 and is open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. - 2 a.m.

In an agile (scrum) environment, how do you get product management to create small enough backlog items or stories without having them do all the design, which is not their specialty? In other words, how do you separate the what (business requirements) from the how (design) in agile development?
With scrum, the product management should be one person: the product owner .
What you want to do is done during the sprint planning, where the whole team (product owner, scrummaster, developers) should be present.
The what should be defined as user stories by the product owner . The user stories are supposed to be high level, limiting your product owner to express the business requirements in one sentence stories should do the trick.
One of the goal of the sprint planning is to decide the stories that should be done during the sprint. So when the stories are chosen by the product owner, the team can subdivide them, talk briefly about the design (the how) and estimate them.
In a nutshell, the what should be done by the product owner, the how by the team. If this process is clearly explained to the product owner, he won't try to design everything. If he tries anyway, the scrummaster will stop him.
The first thing you must do, and that is the cause of a great number of Scrum Projects failures, is to teach your product management to play the Product Owner role. You have to show him that he is responsible for the ROI of the project, and for that, he is responsible for prioritizing the stories/itens/business needs/features or whatever you are using to compose your Product backlog in a manner that the most valuable itens are with higher priorities.
I'm in favor of using user stories as product backlog itens and then, at the sprint planning, breaking on smaller tasks the stories selected to compose the sprint backlog.
What you should always have in mind when writting, or helping your PO to write, your user stories is that the stories should be INVEST. Independent, Negotiable, Valuable to customers, Estimatable, Small and Testable.
I think at the beginning using the template bellow might be helpful to keep the PO focused on the business goals:
One story example would be "As a stackoverflow user, I want to vote on an answer so that the most valuable answer can easily be finded."
Don't forget to make the PO write or define the acceptance Test for each story of your Sprint Backlog as it can be use as a basic criteria to determine if a story is fully implemented.
To the example above, two possible acceptance test are:
"Test to vote up a answer"
"Test to Vote Down a answer"
With this story and two acceptance test the team knows that the stackoverflow user can vote on the answers and to the story status be updated do Done, it is necessary that the system allow the user to vote up and down an answer without throwing exceptions.
Don't forget that the product backlog items should be rated in order of importance, using a weighting system (prime numbers, fibonacci,..), so that if you have items in your backlog that of similar importance (i.e. 2 items with a weight of 21), then they should in theory both try and be inserted in the sprint ahead of the 13s and 8s.
During the backlog (re)estimation (after prioritisation) the Team should be doing Modelling in order to understand the full extent of the User Story and be able to accurately estimate the complexity. This isn't the full extent of the modelling which may take place (teams may do more doing development), but it is a great place to start and will be able to take advantage of the Customer/Product Owner being around to answer questions there and then.
As a result of this, the resulting discussion will help you work with the Product Owner to split their requirements down to a meaningful and suitable granularity.

Yesterday, Monday 23, 2014, Seattle City Council voted to put two preschool plans on Novembers ballot for voters. One plan is Seattle Mayor Ed Murray's attempt to increase the quality and affordability of preschool. For this plan, The City Council voted unanimously to place a $58 million property-tax levy on the November ballot. The purpose of raising property taxes would be to help fund an early childhood education program that targets low-income families.
The Council also voted to put a separate union-backed child-care proposal on the November ballot. This proposal is called Initiative 107 and was supported by nearly 22,000 signatures. KPLU reports that Initiative 107 raises the minimum wage to $15 an hour for more than 4,000 childcare workers and creates a training program for early childhood educators.
According to the Seattle Times, the council voted to consider it a competing, rather than complementary measure. That means voters will have to choose between them rather than voting for both. Although choosing between the two may be hard, KPLU says the reason voters are being force to choose is because council had determined the to initiatives conflict on various points. Council president Tim Burgess says that under Washington State law, the council has the authority to decide whether initiatives are in conflict with each other, and if so, the council can present the two measures to voters as an either-or choice. It was by a 6-3 vote council determined that the two initiatives were in conflict.

Rep. Ken Calvert
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an individual whose dedication and contributions to the community of Riverside, California are exceptional. Riverside has been fortunate to have dynamic and dedicated community leaders who willingly and unselfishly give their time and talent and make their communities a better place to live. Steve Jorgensen is one of these individuals. Steve will be retiring as Director of the Riverside National Cemetery this year and his dedication and contributions will be missed.
Steve is a native of Oregon where he joined the United States Army and served honorably for three years. In 1976, he graduated from Mount Hood College and later attended College of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas.
Steve joined the National Cemetery System in June 1973, while still a student, as a cemetery caretaker at Willamette National Cemetery located in Portland, Oregon. In January of 1977, he was elected as a cemetery director trainee and remained at Willamette for the year long program. After completion of the program, he was named Director at Eagle Point, Oregon National Cemetery and remained there for a year and a half. He served as Director of the Fort Smith, Arkansas National Cemetery; Director of the San Francisco, California National Cemetery; Assistant Director of the Willamette National Cemetery; and Director of the Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.
Steve was appointed to Director of Riverside National Cemetery in October 1991 and has been responsible for all burial and maintenance operations at the cemetery. Riverside National Cemetery is one of our nation's largest cemeteries and is the most active. The 921-acre facility has 288 developed acres, performs 8,000 burials yearly, and has over 145,000 gravesites to maintain. The facility is revered for its high standards of maintenance and efficiency. Under Steve's excellent leadership the facility has achieved the highest awards possible within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Robert W. Carey Organizational Excellence Award. The cemetery received this prestigious award in 1996, 2002 and 2003.
Steve's tireless passion for service has contributed immensely to the betterment of the community of Riverside California. His unwavering commitment to maintaining the dignity of the Riverside National Cemetery is a source of pride to his community and I am proud to call him a fellow community member, American and friend. I know that many community members, veterans and spouses of veterans are grateful for his service and salute him as he retires.

Highest-Paid Musicians for 2012 Named by Forbes
Dr Dre took the #1 spot on the Forbes list of 25 Highest-Paid Musicians for the 12 month period from May 2011 to May 2012, with pretax earnings of $110 million, primarily from income from his very successful "Beats" headphone line. So even though his album Detox remains in the pipeline, he continues to rake in the cash from previous albums, along with concerts and his work as a producer.
Second on the list is Roger Waters, a founding member of Pink Floyd, who continues to entertain fans with his iconic The Wall Live tour, for which he earned $131 million in the 12 months. At #3 Sir Elton John performed more than one hundred shows during the Forbe's scoring period, and released an animated film, Gnomeo and Juliet which all helped to pad his wallet to the tune of $80 million. Fans can look forward to the release of Elton John's 30th solo album in the near future.
No list of this sort would be complete without U2 on it, and the band comes in at #4 with $78 million. Part of their three-year 360 tour is counted in the 12-month period. At #5, British boy band, Take That, enjoyed a successful reunion tour, earning $69 million in the review period. Bon Jovi raked in $60 million to take the #6 spot.
Proving she is well and truly back from her temporary fall from grace, Britney Spears, earned $58 million from her music, including platinum album Femme Fatale, and an Elizabeth Arden fragrance line.
According to the Guinness World Records, Sir Paul McCartney is the most successful songwriter in the history of popular music, the former Beatle shows no sign of slowing down and was recently listed by Forbes as being #8 on its list of the World's 25 Highest-Paid Musicians for the 12 months of the survey. He performed live more than thirty times during 2012, including appearances with Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl, all of which earned him $57 million.
The rest of the Top 25 Highest-Paid Musicians, in order, are Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Toby Keith, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, Diddy, Katy Perry, Kenny Chesney, Beyonce, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Coldplay, Adéle, Kanye West, Michael Bublé and Sade.

Nov. 9, 2011
LOS ANGELES - UCLA women's soccer players Sydney Leroux, Zakiya Bywaters and Abby Dahlkemper were named to the All-Pac-12 First-Team on Wednesday, highlighting a total of seven players who were honored by the conference.
For Leroux, it marks the third all-conference honor of her career and second-straight selection to the first team. The senior forward from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was also named to the All-Pac-10 Second Team as a sophomore in 2009. Leroux has enjoyed a fantastic senior season, leading the conference in game-winning goals with eight. She also ranks second in the Pac-12 in points (35), goals (16) and shots (83). Leroux, who has led the Bruins in scoring the last three seasons, heads into the postseason with a team-best 35 points on 16 goals and three assists.
Bywaters, a junior midfielder from Las Vegas, Nevada, was named an All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention selection a year ago. She has started all 19 matches for the Bruins this season, registering 12 points on three goals and six assists. Dahlkemper, a freshman defender from Menlo Park, Calif., has been instrumental in helping the team surrender just 11 goals in 19 matches this season. She has also helped the Bruins rank second in the Pac-12 with 12 shutouts.
In addition to the team's three first-team selections, freshman Samantha Mewis, who ranks second on the team in scoring with 18 points (6g, 6a), was named to the Pac-12 Second-Team.
The Bruins also had more players on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team than any other school, as Dahlkemper, Mewis, Caprice Dydasco and Katelyn Rowland were all named to that squad.
Stanford swept the Pac-12's three year-end awards, as Lindsay Taylor was named Player of the Year, Chioma Ubogagu was named Freshman of the Year and Paul Ratcliffe was named Coach of the Year.

Sabrina – Billy Wilder
Sabrina is next sent to Paris by her father, who hopes that the cooking school she attends will cure her of her hopeless ambitions and romantic dreams and prepare her for servant work. Sabrina, however, cannot cook no matter how hard she tries, and she is miserable in cooking school. Then an elderly baron adopts her, and two years later, Sabrina returns to Long Island a glamorous, chic, and poised woman, thanks to the baron's tutelage. As Sabrina waits for her father to-pick her up from the station, David happens to drive by, and, not recognizing Sabrina as the chauffeur's daughter, he picks her up. Not until they both arrive at her destination and David realizes that he is home does Sabrina reveal her identity; and David determines to see more of the transformed woman.
At this point Sabrina enters another important phase in her education. On the verge of beginning a romance with a womanizer, she meets a second man, older and wiser than David—his brother Linus. In terms of convention, he represents the perfect match for Sabrina: he is wise and reliable as well as romantically interested, and Sabrina is gradually won over. Wilder, however, turns the genre conventions topsy-turvy by making the older man turn out to have dishonest intentions, and making the shallow playboy show him the error of his ways. Sabrina, trying to make sense of the men who court her, follows the path the audience expects any girl in her position to follow—and her world almost collapses around her as a result.
Sabrina is at first delighted to have made a big hit with David. She accepts his invitation to a party at the Larrabee,mansion, and when she arrives, she is the center of attraction and has all the men in the room interested; but David keeps his prize to himself. Linus, meanwhile, watches his brother's growing involvement with Sabrina with some trepidation. Linus, for business purposes, has already arranged for his easily amused brother to marry a sugar heiress. The marriage will improve the Larrabee fortune and make little difference to David, who can never keep his mind on anything for long anyway. In the best interest of the business, Linus decides to date Sabrina himself and wean her away from his brother. It is also, incidentally, in her own best interest, since she is still too naïve to see David for what he really is.
Linus thus wines and dines Sabrina, who soon realizes that David suffers by comparison. She begins to fall in love with the man who seems to have the better character; and, to his dismay, Linus also develops a keen interest in Sabrina. Linus, however, is determined to belong only to his business and plans to get rid of Sabrina. He tells her that he has booked passage for them aboard an ocean liner; when the ship sails, Linus is not on board, and Sabrina heads out to sea alone. When Linus shows up at the board meeting, David, who expected his brother to be honeymooning at sea, realizes what Linus has done. David gives his brother a lecture on the importance of love over business; Linus sees his error and takes a helicopter out to the ship to join Sabrina. David stays to watch over the family fortune, and so an uncertain role reversal is made complete.
With that ending Sabrina manages to include one more form of conventional film education, that of the singleminded businessman discovering the importance of his private life. In the combination of these various conventions, however, Sabrina manages to undercut them all. The viewer feels uneasy about any of the structures of romantic education proposed in the film. The happy ending does have a couple sailing for Paris, but the complications which got them there reveal a fragile set of assumptions.

My father bought me a Diana Mini for my birthday, I got the first roll developed today.
It seems I under estimated how much to wind the film on between shots so everything is overlapping eachother in one giant montage.
They do look pretty cool though!
I'll be posting my favourite ones soon, most of them are double exposures x 100000000 but hopefully people will like them.
It's a learning experience at the very least.
Tips and advice are welcome.

Senior Boutelle Returns To The Championship After A Top-15 Finish In 2012
Fall 2012 (Senior): Boutelle was forced to sit out the fall season due to injury. He will return to the Cowboy lineup at the 2013 Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif.
2011-12 (Junior): Boutelle was the Cowboy leader during the 2011-12 campaign. He carried the lowest stroke average of 74.33 on the season. He played all 13 tournaments for a total of 39 rounds. During the spring season, Boutelle started striking the ball well in time for the 2012 Mountain West Championship. At the conference championship, he played all three rounds within two strokes of par and finished the tournament in a tie for 15th place with a score of 216 (+3). His top-15 finish was his best career finish at the MW Championship. His best finish came in the fall of 2011 at the Air Force Falcon Invitational tying for fifth place in the 100-man field. At the AFA Invite he shot rounds of 72 (E), 68 (-4) and 71 (-1) which gave a final total of 211 (-5). He began the fall season with a top-10 finish at the Battle in the Tetons firing a two-over 218, which tied him for 10th place. During the fall season he recorded two other top-20 finishes at the Colorado Invitational (T-18, 216, E) and Nevada Wolf Pack Classic (T-13, 222, +6). Boutelle led the Pokes in rounds of par or better, firing 10 during the season including three consecutive at the Air Force Invitational.
2010-11 (Sophomore): Boutelle built off his success as a redshirt freshman as he entered his fourth semester competing for the Cowboys. He had an up-and-down spring season for the Cowboys with his best finish coming at the Mountain West Championship where he tied for 17th with a score of 216 (+3). At the MW Championship he shot rounds of 71 (E), 71 (E) and 74 (+3). Boutelle shot the lowest round of his Cowboy career during the first round of the Barona Collegiate Cup, firing a five-under 67. He recorded six rounds of par or better during the season, including his career-best round of 67 (-5). He played in all 12 tournaments for the Cowboys and carried the second best stroke average of 75.18 on the team. During the fall of 2010, Boutelle's best finish was a tie for 29th at the Air Force Falcon Invite with a three-day total of 222 (+6). His best round of the fall season came at the Nevada Wolf Pack Classic where he shot an even par 72 during the first round. Boutelle had a stroke average of 75.33 during the fall, which was good enough for second best on the team.
2009-10 (Redshirt Freshman): Boutelle excelled during his redshirt freshman season, making a successful college golf debut in the fall of 2009 and carrying that success into the spring of 2010. During his redshirt freshman campaign Boutelle played in all 11 tournaments for the Cowboys and carried the third-best stroke average on the team, a 74.09. He placed in the top 25 of four events and recorded his best finish at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate, where he tied for 10th in the 92-man field. In the Intercollegiate, he shot rounds of 75 (+3), 74 (+2) and a 69 (-3). Boutelle also played very well in three of the six spring events, including the MW Championship where he placed in a tie for 23rd. At the MW Championship he shot a three round total of 220 (+7), including a 68 (-3). He also recorded the fourth-best finish among freshmen at the MW Championships. Boutelle played the second-most rounds of any freshman in the MW at 33. During the '09-'10 season he shot a total of six rounds under par.
2008-09 (Freshman): Boutelle used his true freshman season as a redshirt year to improve his game. During the 2009 summer he qualified for the U.S. Amateur by winning a qualifier tournament at the Three Crowns Golf Club in Casper, Wyo.
High School: Boutelle was the 2007 Wyoming 3A State Champion during his senior year of high school. He was an All-State selection in both 2006 and 2007 and an All-Conference selection in 2005, '06 and '07. He was selected as a team captain his senior year. As a junior he took third place in the Wyoming State 4A tournament. Boutelle was selected as a member of the Wyoming Junior America's Cup Team both in 2006 and 2007. Along with four high school golf letters, he also lettered three years in hockey. He was on the Cody High School Honor Roll all four years of high school.
Personal: Boutelle is the son of Susan and Rodney Boutelle and has one older sister, Courtney. Boutelle was also recruited by Colorado and Arizona. He is majoring in communications at UW.

Loosestrife, Purple (Lythrum salicaria)
From all-creatures.org
Art and Photo Journals
and Galleries Directory
Dedicated to the Preservation and Restoration of the Whole of Creation
Humans - Animals - Environment
"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
- Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) -
(To enlarge the photos, click on the photos or links)
(Loosestrife, Purple - 01) The purple loosestrife is one of about 10 species of loosestrife known to exist in the United States. Most of them grow south of our location. This species of purple loosestrife can be identified by the broad base of its lanceolate leaves, which grow opposite one another, or sometimes in a whorl of three leaves.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 01a) In this photo, we can more easily see the broad base of the purple loosestrife leaves.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 02) Another characteristic of the purple loosestrife is the wrinkled appearance of its flower petals, which can number from five to seven.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 03) This purple loosestrife flower has six petals. The single projecting pistil is easy to identify, but the crowded condition of the twelve stamens make them hard to count.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 04) The flowers of the purple loosestrife develop in a whorl around a spike at the top of the stock. There are three varieties of the purple loosestrife. This one has a long pistil and short stamens. In the second variety, the stamens and pistil are at the same level; and in the last one, the pistil is short and the stamens are long.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 05) An immigrant from Europe, the purple loosestrife has crowded out other species of plants. It adapts itself well to fields and to wetlands, where the purple loosestrife has crowded out food for waterfowl, making the wetlands less productive. But even with its problems, it adds beauty to this and other fields.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 06) This purple loosestrife has gone to seed. The young leafy sprouts of the purple loosestrife were eaten as a vegetable when other food was is short supply. The astringent qualities of the purple loosestrife were also useful in treating chronic diarrhea.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 07) In this type of purple loosestrife, the stamens are longer than the pistil.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 08) This photo of a portion of a purple loosestrife flower stalk shows the more mature flowers lower on the stalk and the newer flowers near the top.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 08a) This close-up photo of a portion of the stalk of a purple loosestrife shows the flowers just beginning to emerge from the the calyx. The left side of the photo has captured what appears to be an example of the type of flower in which the stamens and pistil are the same length.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 08b) This is a close-up look at another of the purple loosestrife flowers.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 09) This attractive patch of purple loosestrife was growing just off the side of the road.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 11) This is a close-up side view of one of the purple loosestrife flowers.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 12) This bee's eye view of the center of one of the purple loosestrife flowers shows that it's the type that has stamens longer than the pistil. Even though the literature states that purple loosestrife have 12 stamens, we have been able to identify only 6 in this flower.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 12a) This is a close-up look at one of the 1/4 inch long purple loosestrife petals.
(Loosestrife, Purple - 13) This is another look at a portion of a purple loosestrife flower spike.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation. Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.

I was driving along in Miami and saw a billboard that caught my attention.... It was a nice looking woman's torso in a bikini top.
The ad was for breast augmentation "for as low as $89 per month". Oh where to begin with the jokes
What if you miss a payment? Do they send out a repo man?
That's some lay away plan....

As Bob Newcomb enters his 33rd season as head coach of the University of Massachusetts women's swimming and diving team in 2016-17, he brings with him more than three decades of success.
During his previous 32 seasons, he has compiled a 177-131-1 overall record and in 2001, led the Minutewomen to their first-ever Atlantic 10 Conference championship. Additionally, the squad has finished second at the A-10 meet twice in the last four seasons for the first time in school history.
Newcomb's other highlights during his career include producing 42 Atlantic 10 champions, 37 New England champions, eight New England Championship record holders, four NCAA Championship qualifiers, and one UMass Hall of Fame inductee.
During his tenure at UMass, he has coached successful athletes such as Michelle Leary (1990 New England High Point Swimmer, 2007 UMass Hall of Fame), Allison White (1993-94 Atlantic 10 Diver of the Year), Becky Hunnewell (2000-01 Most Outstanding Performer at the Atlantic 10 Championships) and Michaela Butler (2012-14 Atlantic 10 Diver of the Year and 3-time All-America in 2013-14).
Butler finished her collegiate career as a three-time All-American and became the first diver in the Atlantic 10 Conference history to score at the NCAA Championships. Her points on both boards pushed UMass to 30th place in 2013 and 27th place in 2014 - the highest team finish in league history.
His coaching efforts have been recognized twice, as he received the New England Women's Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and 1989. Newcomb also served two terms as the NEWISDA Vice President.
In addition to his women's swimming and diving responsibilities, Newcomb also served as head coach of the women's water polo team at UMass for three years, compiling a 54-25 (.684) record.
Before coming to UMass, Newcomb served as an assistant swim coach at the Alamo Area Aquatic Association in San Antonio, Texas. He has also been the head swimming and water polo coach at San Antonio's John Jay High School, the assistant swimming, diving and water polo coach at Washington and Lee (Va.) University and an assistant swimming coach at Springfield College.
A 1980 graduate of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., with a bachelor's degree in Natural Sciences, Newcomb was a four-year member of both the swimming and water polo teams. While an undergraduate, he was a 1978 Division III All-America selection in swimming (freestyle) and earned a spot on the All-Southern Conference water polo team in 1980.
Newcomb and his wife, Judi, reside in Amherst. They have two daughters, Madeline and Olivia.

Gato is cat ID22470303. If you can find it in your heart to rescue, foster or offer this big guy a forever home, please email the shelter at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit them at 328 Furman Hall Road, Greenville.
Whether you're looking for a cat or dog to add to the family, you won't find a bigger selection than the Greenville shelter. Don't want to commit to a cat or dog-then sign up for their fostering program. It's a great way to know beforehand whether you want the responsibility that goes with pet ownership.
Please share this article, especially with those in upstate South Carolina.

This Sunday, 110 million people are expected to tune in to the Super Bowl, anchored by a halftime show from Beyoncé and her old group Destiny's Child. In anticipation of that performance, we gathered footage from televised moments throughout Beyoncé's career. As with the case of Beyonce's performance of the national anthem at this month's presidential inauguration, some seem more pre-recorded than live, or some fascinating mix between the two. Taken from YouTube and presented in chronological order, they perhaps tell a slightly different story than the more comprehensive footage locked in Beyoncé's official, temperature-controlled digital archive, or even her essential, high-gloss tour DVDs. Consider this the people's archive.
High Point: Parachute pants dance break at 2:21.
Best YouTube comment: "I love La'Toya!! she is sooooo Beautiful!! Omg!! She got beyonce beat to me!"
High Point: Crowd singalong at 3:53.
Best YouTube Comment: "Michelle is in the corner gettin it!! GO CHELLE!!"
High Point: Celine reacts to Beyonce's vocal run with a wrist and head shake at 1:55.
Best YouTube Comment: "They gave Celine most of Michelle's parts! POOR MICHELLE! :("
High Point:: Off-mic, impromptu harmonizing while Jay raps about shopping at 1:32.
Best YouTube Comment: "Beyonce stage presence is wilder when Jay z is around, she looks to him for his rugged energy, jay does not have any tatoos except for the one on his finger representing his love for Beyonce i love them together they are a force to be reckeoned with."
High Point: Extra-emphatic OOOOHHHooohhhOooah! sayyy does that at 1:58.
Best YouTube Comment: "The inauguration was a more formal event she couldn't add extra sounds like she did here to make it better."
High Point: A nine-second, eyes-closed note followed by a big gulp of air at 3:38.
Best YouTube Comment: "Beyonce looks so beautiful here and its amazing that she sang that entire song with bird seed in her hand lol"
High Point: Furry intro solo at 0:22.
Best Youtube Comment: "I LOVED THEIR ENERGY BUT REALLY MICHELLE YOU CANT WAIT FOR B AND KELLY TO WALK UP THE STAIRS LOL IT WAS CUTE THO ........ THAT LIL WIGGLE"
High Point: Vocal battle with Michelle and Kelly from 3:37-3:50.
Best YouTube comment: "What is this wig on Michelle's head... wtf."
High Point: Backwards, double-arm cop-slap at 1:53.
Best YouTube comment: "Was that break down an homage to Janet???? I think so!!"
High Point: Jamie Foxx's expression toward Oprah at 3:23.
Best YouTube comment: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MA'AM. BEYONCE SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN AND SAID "EAT THE DAMN DUST HATERS" LAAAAWD HAM MERCY. Dear Beyonce, clint eastwood or anyone working on the a star is born movie. WE WANT BALLADS LIKE THIS FOR THE SOUNDTRACK. I miss watching BEY shut it down like this."
High Point: Beyonce breaks out of her chair to thump her chest and yelp, "I don't care what my mama say! Daddy say! No no no nooo!" at 3:26.
Best YouTube Comment: "michelle looked at her like bitch you aint do that durin rehersal!!"
High Point: Pointer finger into the sky, chased with a smile, chased with Tyra clapping in time at 2:50.

High Point: Possible tears at 1:29.
Best YouTube Comment: "was this song for obama?"
High Point: Carefully placed transitional headbanging at 4:45.
Best YouTube Comment: "2009 - Beyoncés year, 2010 - Lady Gagas year, 2011 - Adeles year, 2012 - Rihannas year, 2013 - Beyoncés year again <3"
High Point: Infinite layers of MAKE LOVE! at 3:48.
Best YouTube Comment: "She said Algeba because in the song she says she doesn't know much about it! Goofy"
High Point: Rodeo grind at 1:40.
Best YouTube Comment: "And she was pregnant... *___*"
High Point: Earpiece rip-out and vocal run at 1:10.
Best YouTube comment:"We have no real idea if she did or did not. We think we know, but there's too many conflicting accounts. She sung live at the SuperBowl back in 2004, so I'm sure she sang live here. The media could've taken it out of proportion and falsified the information. I also hope she doesn't lip-sync at the Super Bowl."

Entrepreneurship LLCThe Entrepreneurship Living-Learning Center (ENT-LLC) is an exciting opportunity created to provide housing and academic support for pre-business and entrepreneurially-minded students from all fields of study.
This is the first housing option specifically dedicated to those students with a common interest in innovation and creativity. Housed in Brooks Flats, the ENT-LLC seeks to assist students to more fully develop their entrepreneurial capabilities by offering mentoring between upperclassmen and freshmen, accessibility of faculty, discussion groups, lab support and opportunities to work with practicing business leaders and entrepreneurs.
Renowned economist Joseph Schumpeter once said that entrepreneurship "is the axis on which everything turns." The ability of a person to dream, to create, to pursue opportunities through one's own effort is the engine that drives mankind's development. While it is true that we all have different gifts, there is little doubt that the ability to be effective innovators and leaders exists in all of us. Entrepreneurs' backgrounds may differ greatly, but they have in common the desire to be leaders who can creatively solve problems and change the world for the better.
Welcome to the ENT-LLC website! I am AC, your hostess and I am here to help you get 'plugged in' to the ENT-LLC. If you see me on a page, pay close attention.

Pacto's exclusive Villas & Resorts Collection 2013 brochure, containing a selected range of accommodation in Indonesia was launched at de Opera Nusa Dua, Wednesday night (Feb 20). The book represents Pacto's latest effort to provide wholesalers worldwide with the best value for money properties providing the most satisfactory services. "This special brochure for leisure contains carefully selected accommodations in Indonesia and will be distributed to wholesalers and travel agents at home and overseas, during all major trade shows worldwide." said Chief Operating Officer Inbound for Pacto Ltd., Umberto Cadamuro.
"Unlike other operators, we believe that the key is not low price, but value for money. This high end brochure, realized with the support of Icomm (Island Communication), renowned photographer Fabio Lorenzo and illustrated by Giorgio Del Pedros, reflects our philosophy" added Umberto "The picture of the dances in the brochure was painted by an artist from Italy. Balinese traditional culture is still a major attraction to tourists to come here, so we have decided that a traditional look was most appealing to the discerned travelers market" said Umberto amidst the launch of the brochure accompanied by Pacto's General Manager Inbound, Freddy Rompas.
Meanwhile, Freddy Rompas added that beside being delivered to stakeholders, the brochures printed in 10,000 copies would also be distributed at all major tourism promotion events, starting at ITB Berlin. "This brochure offers nearly plenty of tourist accommodation in Bali, plus a good selection in Lombok, Yogyakarta and other tourist regions. We do hope this luxurious design will be able to attract tourists," he said. Admittedly, the vigorous campaign through brochures and digital media made by Pacto Ltd. has generated a strong and well balanced clients portfolio worldwide. Besides, Pacto's strong Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) aimed at supporting local communities remain an additional reason to choose Pacto as the preferred partner in Indonesia .
"I believe this brochure will definitely have a positive impact on our business. In 2012, we have managed to handle 50,000 tourists and this year we are targeting to increase by 17 percent," explained Umberto. (BTN/014)

Waking the Dead
Posted By Stephen Simon On April 4, 2008 @ 12:00 am In Inspirational Media | 1 Comment
One of our subscribers at The Spiritual Cinema Circle [1]recently left an entry on our message boards that included "I just wish Hollywood would wake up."
That would require much more of a resurrection than an alarm clock. Waking the dead is still quite a challenge for us mere mortals.
Truly, the Hollywood system is not something that can be fixed. I heard a phrase once that is an appropriate metaphor here: love bounces, trust breaks. Once something has been as shattered as the Hollywood system is, it truly cannot be fixed. It needs to be replaced by something cellularly different.
What that will look like is still being distilled in the ethers. We are now in the swing between the world of film that once was and the world that will be. I do know is that the process of making and distributing films is going to look radically different 5-10 years from now.
Some thoughts:
At least half the movie theaters now being operated will shutter or be used for different purposes. The initial point of film distribution will be in people's homes. The days of the great Hollywood stars are numbered. Don't be surprised if Tom Hanks is the last of his breed.
Other ideas? Please share. Together, we're going to figure this out

Frank W. Thomas House : Michelin's recommendations
Considered the first true Prairie-style house by Wright, this 1901 commission abandons all elements and ornaments of Victorian design. The entrance arch below the main floor leads not to a door but to a staircase proceeding to the hidden entry. Bands of art-glass windows are squeezed and sheltered between flattened roofs and high stucco walls. Immediately south, Victorian row houses from 1892 illustrate the architectural shift Wright led at the turn of the century.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Bluiett, Hamiet
Bluiett, Hamiet, baritone saxophonist; b. Lovejoy, IL, 16 September 1940. He was originally a member of St. Louis' legendary BAG (Black Artists Group) collective in the mid-1960s. By the time he moved to New York City in 1969 he had already worked with his future WSQ partners, Oliver Lake and Julius Hemphill.
By 1972, after playing with Sam Rivers, the Thad Jones-Mel Louis Orchestra, and others, Bluiett became an on-again, off-again member of Charles Mingus's quintet, subject to the whims of the bassist and Bluiett's own admitted personal problems at the time. In 1977 Bluiett became (along with Lake, Hemphill, and David Murray) a founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet. His career since that time still includes the WSQ as well as a host of other side projects including the Clarinet Family and Bluiett's Barbeque Band.
In 1991 and 1992, Bluiett was voted the top baritone player in Downbeat's annual International Critics Poll. He can also be heard on recordings by Babatunde Olatunji, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Eddie Jefferson, and Randy Weston. Bluiett's most recent recordings include two volumes with a trio including pianist D.D. Jackson and percussionist Mor Thiam (Justin Time), and a duo cd with pianist Larry Willis (Mapleshade).
He also formed Hamiet Bluiett's Baritone Saxophone Group, comprised of four baritone sax players (Blueitt, James Carter, Alex Harding and Patience Higgins) and Ronnie Burrage on drums. They performed at the 1997 Montreal Jazz Festival and recorded in 1998.

Daredevils everywhere love to go to the Utah arch rope for swinging fun. On Wednesday, Yahoo shared how this arch bridge could end up being somewhere that they are not allowed to go to and act wild. Corona Arch visitors are speaking out and saying that they love visiting the bridge but not to see daredevils.
People have been making crazy videos on YouTube that show off their crazy ways on this arch. They start swinging on it and doing other things. Now people who normally come to see the gorgeous arch are upset that they are watching a daredevil show instead when they show up at the arch.
They actually get about 40,000 visitors here a year. By allowing the daredevils, they are losing visitors but if they don't allow it then it is very possible that they will lose a lot more visitors. It is going to be a losing situation for the arch no matter what happens. They do have signs up warning people that they are doing the swinging at their own risk but that doesn't stop them. So far there is no definite decision about if this swinging will be stopped or not.

You can tell a lot about a person by the kind of shoes they wear. Woman tend to have endless styles and colors for all the events in their life where as men just keep it simple with a few basic colors. Realistically speaking, women need shoes that are appropriate for work and weekend activities. Shoes don't come keep cheap either and everyone knows the saying, "you get what you pay for." It is important to invest in shoes that are comfortable, stylish and affordable. Avoiding trends, hardware and fabric shoes will help you to select styles that are timeless and classic.
After reading articles about shoe trends and shoe styles, many woman are left with the idea that that they have to spend a small fortune on a trendy and stylish pair of shoes. This is certainly not the case. What looks good on one person will not necessarily look good on another, and yes this applies to shoes! Everyone has different shaped feet, some wide while others are long and flat! So when selecting a shoe style, make sure it looks great on your foot and adds an element of simplicity to your outfit. This will help you to select styles that are timeless and classic vs. trendy and cheap.
Building a shoe collection can start with affordable shoes. When you pay a small fortune for shoes, you are not guaranteed comfort or style. Buying shoes that look expensive and flatter your foot can be a tricky process. You can't buy style because style is created by mixing and matching fabric, textures and colors not to mention it means something different to everyone. So, create your own personal style around these timeless and classic stylish shoes under $70.

Forever 21: $39.80

However, "for those who have been saving up for a classic car but are discouraged by some of the heavily publicized high-dollar sales shown on TV and in magazines, there is hope," Hagerty says, offering a list of "attainable options which allow you to have the same amount of fun for a fraction of the cost."
So what are Hagerty's top-five attainable dream cars? They're listed below, along with their attainable alternatives and target pricing for what each might cost you:
Aspirational: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 L71 convertible ($155,000)
Attainable: 1973 454/275 LS4 Vette convertible ($38,600) - Click here to see 1973 Chevrolet Corvettes for sale
"The '67 big-block C2 Corvette is (after the million-dollar L88) the Corvette to own for most fans of America's sports car," says Hagerty. "Televised auctions and demand have pushed it well out of reach for most enthusiasts. A lot more of us can write the check for the most overlooked big-block C3 Corvette.
"The horsepower difference isn't as big as it looks since the '73 is rated in net rather than gross horsepower and the C3's looks get better and better every year."
Aspirational: 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 fastback coupe ($135,000)
Attainable: 1964 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint coupe ($21,300) - Click here to see Ford Falcon Futuras for sale
"These two cars have a lot more in common than most people realize. The Mustang is based on the Falcon's chassis and both cars share brilliant small-block Ford V8 power," said Hagerty.
"And while it may lack the looks of the Mustang fastback and the Shelby connection, the Falcon Sprint is a very special car in its own right and happens to cost about what the sales tax on the Shelby would set you back."
Aspirational: 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda Hemi coupe ($211,000)
Attainable: 1970 Dodge Challenger 440/390 coupe ($73,200) - Click here to see 1970 Dodge Challengers for sale
"Stylistically," says Hagerty, "these two Mopar muscle cars look similar. Both were based on the famous E-body that was the inspiration for the new Dodge Challenger. Hemi is a magic word in muscle car circles and you pay dearly for it. But Chrysler's conventional 440 Interceptor V8 was no slouch in the power department and you get a very similar car for about one third the price."
Aspirational: 1967 Jaguar E-type coupe ($61,700)
Attainable: 1967 Triumph GT6 fastback coupe ($9,750)
"The E-type is about as iconic as icons get," notes Hagerty. "No less a car guy than Enzo Ferrari wept and called it the most beautiful car he'd ever seen when the car was introduced in Geneva in 1961.
"The little Triumph GT6 looks like a 2/3 scale model of the E-type, right down to the wire wheels, forward-hinged bonnet and smooth straight six. For a fraction of the cost of an E, you can get much of the style and glamour."
One caution, Hagerty adds: "It helps if you aren't taller than 5-foot-9."
Aspirational: 1976 Lamborghini Countach LP400 coupe ($134,900)
Attainable: 1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo coupe ($18,800) - Click here to see Lotus Esprits for sale
"A Countach poster was standard equipment on every dorm room wall circa 1979," Hagerty says. "They were ungodly expensive new and remain that way today.
"While not gracing as many dorm room walls, no less than 007 picked an Esprit when he needed a vehicle that doubled as a getaway car and a ballistic missile submarine.
"While the Lotus turbo four might not have the cachet of the Lambo V12, the acquisition cost is a fraction of the Lambo and it won't cost the GDP of an island nation to maintain."
So that's Hagerty's latest list of affordable classics. And now, some places where you might pick one up during the June 23-26 weekend:
- Barrett-Jackson stages its second annual Orange County auction June 24-26 at the Orange County Fair & Event Center at Costa Mesa, California;
- EG (The Electric Garage) Auctions stages its Dana Point vintage automobile auction the same dates at the St. Regis Resort on Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California;
- Some 400 Corvettes will be offered at the annual Mecum auction at Bloomington Gold, the celebration of all things Corvette -- and of "survivor" vehicles of all marques -- June 24-25 at the Pheasant Run resort in St. Charles, Illinois;
- RM Auctions stages its Salon Prive auction of luxury and super cars at Syon Park in London on June 23.
1300 VWs at Funfest
The 13th annual Funfest for air-cooled Volkswagens drew 1300 cars and some 8000 VW enthusiasts to the Mid American Motorworks campus in Effingham, Illinois. Special features included a display of Woodstock-themed VWs and the presence of VIP special guest Bruce Meyers, who shared the history of the Meyers Manx dune buggy. The 14th annual event is scheduled June 1-3, 2012. In the meantime, Corvette enthusiasts are invited to the 18th annual Corvette Funfest at Mid American, September 16-18.
Crawford museum gets $12 million gift
If memory serves, it was only a couple of years ago that the Crawford Auto-Aviation Collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland had to sell a few of its classic cars to help keep the doors open. However, things shouldn't be quite so desperate now that the estate of Kathleen S. "Kay" Crawford widow of the collection's founder, is giving $12 million to The Cleveland Foundation to support the museum's collection of nearly 150 cars, 10 airplanes and other vehicles.

Mark Greenwold, "Secret Storm," 1970-71, oil on canvas, 72 x 55 1/2"
Mark Greenwold, "Spanish Mediterranean Bedroom," 1971, acrylic on canvas, 80 x 81 3/4"
Mark Greenwold, "Bright Promise (For Simon)," 1971- 75, oil on canvas, 85 x 108"
In The Village Voice Robert Shuster reports that Mark Greenwold has always been a slow painter, even back in his early days. "A novelist's relatively meager production—a single work every year, at best—would seem to have no equivalent in visual arts, where careers depend on a broad, brand-name presence. But for Mark Greenwold, a writer's painter if ever there was one, deliberation has become a trademark. Best known for rich tableaux of surreal, domestic tension (typically not much bigger than a sheet of paper), Greenwold assembles his scenes one tiny stroke of color at a time, peering through a jeweler's loupe and fussing over some sections for months.
"Still, that's nothing compared to the four years Greenwold took to finish 'Bright Promise,' the extraordinary centerpiece in an exhibit that surveys the painter's rarely seen efforts from the late 1960s and early '70s. In those days of swinger circles, the artist was filling his canvases, most quite large, with sex. Working in acrylic, Greenwold, a classicist at heart, created candy-colored interiors that play off old master studies in perspective, then added stylized figures who loll around, nude or provocatively posed, with Balthus-like disengagement. But when he turned to oil, first in the Playboy-like fantasy 'Secret Storm,' flesh met flesh in eye-popping photorealism. You won't find a more stimulating work, sexual or visual, than 'Bright Promise:' On the floor of a hallucinogenically colored bedroom, a young man mouths the breast of a naked redhead while a lithe, vampirish brunette undresses to join the fun. The details—wall shadows, tchochkes, tan lines—are astonishing (the chenille bedspread alone required a year), and the sense of imminent drama (present in all of the artist's work) is thrilling. Greenwold has fulfilled his own bright promise many times, even for a guy who's in no hurry."

Active Motion Sitting with activeLife Trainer™
View more images or see what others are saying about us.
activeLife Trainer™ (US Patent 8,485,945, additional patents pending) was developed by Dr. Chris Leonhard, a professor and board certified psychologist who specializes in Behavioral Medicine – a multidisciplinary field that concerns itself with what you can physically do to improve and maintain your health.
Since 2009, Dr. Leonhard has been working with researchers, occupational health and safety experts, and manufacturers of exercise machines, office furniture, and electronic sensors from the US, Europe, and Asia to develop Active Motion Sitting technology. This effort first resulted in LifeBalance Station™, the elliptical machine office desk, and now in activeLife Trainer™, the iPhone and Android compatible elliptical under-table machine that connects to your favorite chair and fits under any table (or no table at all).
Both devices allow desk workers, gamers, TV watchers, etc. to gently move their legs - doubling their metabolism - without interfering with desk work. Independent studies from Europe and the US have proven this concept. Additional large scale field trials are currently underway.
A limited number of beta-version activeLife Trainers™ are currently available at $495 including delivery.

- Spend too much time sitting still at work ... and at home?
- Don't have enough time to exercise ... or even go for walks?
