There is no Will and Kate sex tape. Or is there? A comedian has already said "I don't want to see the birth of the young prince, I want to see how he was conceived!" If there isn't a porn parody tape of Will and Kate, there WILL be. Please note, I'm saying that the tape will be a fake. As this is allegedly a celebrity legal issues column, we will focus on the legality of the tape.
There is a booming market in explicit parody tapes, that became permissible in the US after the Larry Flynt versus Jerry Falwell decision. The US Supreme Court ruled that parody was permissible. The incident was dramatized in the film The People versus Larry Flynt.
A poll indicated that a William and Kate porn tape would top the poll of the tape people want to see. The "teen mom" recently earned several million dollars for making a tape, so the market is there. No one is going to get up at dawn to watch the teen mom's wedding, so the market for a royal parody tape is astronomical. Or would that be Royal Astronomical? The producers are presumably already hiring lookalike royal actors, they are also presumably putting lawyers on retainers.
A quick Google search indicates that there are several "fakes" already out there. A fake tape is different than a parody, because a fake tape is attempting to be real while a real tape is attempting to be fake. Someone who plopped down 49.99$ for a fake tape could potentially sue the maker of a fake tape, but they would have a tough time in court.
Would such a tape be permissible in Britain? Yes and no. The British laws of libel would come into effect, and there are also laws against insulting the monarchy. Please note, I am not insulting the monarchy in anyway. A joke is a joke, but I am well aware of the fate of two of Henry VIII's two wives.
Then again, the Tudors was able to get pretty racy with Henry's sex life, but that's another story.

Operating in a dynamic business and community environment, the Water Corporation of Western Australia recognises the need to be nimble. For timely decision making, empowering its people with immediate access to effective business intelligence is crucial.
In 1998, the Water Corporation invested in an SAP platform to manage its multitude of business transactions. Subsequently, in 2000, they introduced the SAP business warehouse tool, SAP BW.
In 2009, they made the decision to upgrade to the SAP BI 7.0 business intelligence platform – with the help of CSC. Access to more timely business data was the main driving force.
The Challenges
Over time, the current BW 3.5 platform had begun to present increasing challenges.
- The nightly loading of transaction data from the Supplier Relationship Management system (SRM) to SAP BW 3.5 was taking 12 – 15 hours. This was impacting decision making the following day
- The BW 3.5 platform was no longer at the same level of release as the wider SAP environment which had been upgraded to ECC6 in 2008. This meant potentially high maintenance costs
- The Water Corporation needed to establish smoother integration with its other information management tools, including Business Objects
- An ageing platform, the SAP maintenance for BW 3.5 was coming to an end.
The Solution
The Water Corporation decided to upgrade to BI 7.0 to avoid additional cost and to enable access to improved functionality.
The lean, agile upgrade project managed by the joint Water Corporation and CSC team, spanned a period of four months from January to April 2010. The actual upgrade itself took three days – on time, on budget and with no surprises!
The most visible early benefit of the new system was the huge reduction in time to load data from the SRM to the new BI system. With load times falling by up to 60%, SRM data is now available the following day for timely decision making.
Now the Water Corporation has a clear roadmap for further improvement opportunities.
The Results
Water Corporation is realising additional benefits of the upgrade including:
- Ease of leveraging add-on features through consistency with the SAP component architecture
- Lower total cost of ownership through increased integration with the Business Objects toolsets
- Improved usability and user friendliness (with Business Objects front end) enables extension of business intelligence to a wider user community
- adding data from more key feeder systems

Tackling the rise in psychosocial diseases by ensuring a fair work-life balance, proper rest and a common work-free day must be a key element of the EU Strategic Framework on health and safety. That was the theme for the third meeting of European Sunday Alliance Interest Group on Work-Life balance that took place on 10 December under the patronage of Ms Evelyn Regner MEP (S&D) and Mr Thomas Mann MEP (EPP).
The theme was prompted by a 2015 European Parliament report indicating that work-related stress and psychosocial risks are responsible for almost half the number of working days lost each year. The report notes a proposal from the European Commission for an "EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work". Host MEPs also named the intrusion of smart phones and social media, and 'around-the-clock' availability as growing problems for workers in Europe.

The National Court is Spain gave unions satisfaction. Supermarket employees will be entitled to at least five weekends off a year, regardless of the fact that their workload is divided over 4, 5 or 6 days a week. The National Court gave satisfaction to the CCOO and UGT unions against the sector's employers' organizations, which claimed that this right was reserved to 6 days a week. (Ref. 120408)
ANCI and the three Italian unions CGIL, CISL and UIL have decided to develop a permanent discussion table on the topic of liberalisations of working hours and openings of stores, norm included in the "Salva Italia" act, on which it is necessary to reflect and evaluate also in regard to possible effects and implication.
On the 14th February, 2012, a clear majority of about two-third of the municipal Council in Freiburg voted against any shop opening on Sundays after a passionate debate.

Developers will have to pay an annual registration fee of $99, which will allow them to submit up to five applications during that period, with an additional $99 fee for every app above the limit. The software giant will also provide additional testing and marketing support for that fee, which seems reasonable for getting in front of millions of customers, and will likely even serve as a filter to keep worthless applications at bay.
Finally, in a clear dig at Apple�s restrictive policies for their store, Microsoft pledged �complete transparency throughout the application submission process" as well as direct feedback. The store is set to debut with the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 in the fourth quarter of this year.

Spring Simulation Multiconference Historical Archive
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 Annual Simulation Symposium (ANSS'13) is a forum for the exchange of ideas, techniques, and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry, government, and academia. This international Symposium is the oldest continuously operating conference/symposium dedicated to simulation. The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools, methodologies, and results between authors and the audience. The structure of the Symposium also provides for a degree of collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics presented during the week.
Original contributions in all areas of modeling and simulation are welcome. This year's Symposium is particularly seeking papers in the following topical areas:
Communications and Networks are the heart and the nerve system of Information Technology which profoundly affecting our daily lives. Web 2.0, social networks, mobile devices, smart cell phones, advances in Cloud Computing, and other disruptive technologies are continuing to dominate our communication spectrums. We are witnessing exploding growth in services generated by the networking community to all users; public or private, military or government, educational or industry, healthcare or finance, scientific or entertainment. Quality of service, Security, Interoperability, fast access, and many other important user requirements can be studied, monitored, and predicted by using simulation techniques.
The 16th Communications and Networking Symposium (CNS'13) invites experts, researchers, developers, managers, and entrepreneurs in this dynamic field to publish and share their findings with their peers in this symposium and discuss the challenges and successes in their pursuit of advancing their focused areas.
We welcome papers describing design principles as well as applications pertinent to the above tracts with special emphasis on modeling and simulation of communications and networks. Papers are solicited in the following (but not limited to) area of interests for peer review and presentation in the conference:
The Symposium for Emerging Applications of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in Industry and Academia (EAIA) has evolved into a hub for new ideas and successful applications thereof. The focus is on innovative applications of M&S in theory and practice. As such, we are looking for papers that show successful and promising trends. For 2013, we offer seven topic categories plus the "Other Emerging Application" category to be able to give a home to good papers that do not fit into the other categories.
Many educational institutions have begun to offer either courses or entire degree programs in modeling and simulation (M&S). This track is soliciting papers that explore the emerging field of M&S education and the issues surrounding its development and use. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
The viewpoint of the symposium shows the neighborhood of M&S applications to the engineering discipline that is also more interested in finding applicable solutions (in contrast to science where the focused is more on extending the knowledge). Theoretical underpinnings are welcome, but the track will provide a forum for papers that address the engineering style applications of modeling and simulation. Simulation replaces more and more the traditional experimentation. Where until recently prototypes were created to conduct experiments, virtual prototypes are increasingly used in support of the engineering process. In order to support this use of M&S in engineering, the simulation must fulfill certain requirements, such as being verified and validated for the particular use, or that all data can be obtained in the required form and with the right content. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
The Business and Industry Simulation track is one of the best established tracks within EAIA. Operational and financial stresses in conjunction with the demands of customers, both external and internal, have intensified pressure for competent industrial operations. The evolution of complex systems operating within intricate environments has placed pressure on the configuration and performance of agile, efficient, and flexible industrial operations. Firms are recognizing that the continual enhancement of existing operations is essential to gaining and holding a competitive edge. Government organizations today can effectively evaluate solutions for complex challenges in transportation, health care, security, or environmental effects before making decisions. This call for papers aims to highlight academic foundations as well as real-world industrial applications focusing on lessons learned, experienced constraints, and proof of concepts and generalizability of implemented solutions using M&S in such environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
There has been compelling signs of the great potential of building further synergy with academics, researchers, and industry practitioners from the areas of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in coping with Emergent Risks. M&S's potential goes far beyond its power to tell us how systems may, would, and should work.And for this same reason, M&S also has a great and still untapped power to tell us how complex systems may fail. Nonetheless, there needs to be the conscious and deliberate attempt to harness this power by bringing together current knowledge and game-changing ideas from the best academics, researchers, and industry practitioners in M&S and Emergent Risk Management. Objectives of the track comprise benchmarking current practices on how M&S are being used in managing emergent risks, identifying important and high-yield research activities towards better application of M&S in managing emergent risk, and developing synergistic collaboration among participants. Topics of interest to this track are:
Many M&S researchers are not explicitly aware of their philosophical research assumption and the ontological, epistemological, and teleological implications thereof. Ontology is the study of being or the study of what exists, often captured as a system defined by a finite set of systems. Computational representations thereof are only a small subset. Epistemology is the study of how we come to know, or how we define knowledge, represent it, and communicate it with others. Teleology is the study of action and purpose, resulting in methods.
Often without knowing it, M&S experts sub-scribe with their methods to a positivistic worldview. In short, positivism is rooted in the belief that truth exists on its own, it is indepen-dent of the observer and reality is separated from the individual who observes it. The traditional scientific method is rooted in positivism. The al-ternative viewpoint is interpretivism that holds the belief that truth is a construct of the observer. Reality is relative and cannot be separated from the individual who observes it. Following topics are of interest to this track:
The Department of Justice established a Technical Working Group on Modeling and Simulation to coordinate the application of M&S solutions and research of M&S capabilities of interest. Currently, M&S within the Department of Justice is focused on – but not limited to – training, in particular for Law Enforcement organizations. One of the main facilities to support training is the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Georgia. FLETC utilizes M&S as one option to provide better training to Law Enforcement officer. Furthermore, several training systems developed for other departments, in particular training simulation systems developed for the Armed Forces, are evaluated according to the adaptability and applicability for training provided at FLETC. However, the Technical Working Group is also looking at alternative uses of M&S, including serious gaming. The use of emerging technologies, including social networks, is another topic of interest.
Within this track, the current work, vision, and objectives for M&S Support shall be closer evaluated. We are therefore looking for topics like:
Technology Transition (T2) is a contemporary interest due to the frequent loss of great ideas to the "Valley of Death" between R&D and distribution organizations. Because T2 is often viewed as a process, the goal here is to demonstrate the successful use of modeling and simulation to emulate and facilitate the underlying innovation process to ensure good ideas make their way to candidate users. While developers have internal research and development (IRAD) processes and the sales chain maintain business development processes, the goal here is to describe and demonstrate the too often grey area in-between. The suggested domains over which to describe the large-scale integrated system's pricing technique include -

Dick Harmon: Father witnesses rise of his son as Dennis Pitta has breakout year
One game his senior year, the son caught a 96-yard touchdown pass which was called back on a penalty. The father's belief in the future of his son grew as he amassed more big plays and grew from 6-1 to 6-4 and 180 pounds.
The father would know. He played middle linebacker for the University of California. Dennis Pitta Sr. recently received votes on a poll listing the all-time best University of California football players. He had 20 tackles and an interception that set up a second-half touchdown in a Bears win over UCLA in 1968. He played a key role in a win over Syracuse, a victory that elevated Cal to a No. 8 national ranking. He played against Larry Csonka and at Modesto Junior College, played against O.J. Simpson (San Francisco City College).
Still, his son, while noticed by recruiters, never received a Division I scholarship offer and walked on at BYU. By the end of his Cougar career, the son had a whopping 221 receptions for 2,901 yards and 21 touchdowns. The 221 catches is the most by any BYU player in school history.
Naturally, the father is extremely proud of his son. "He is a great athlete and he has shown that he has grown and learned to use his abilities. But he is also a very good person, and we are proud of that as well."
His son served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Dominican Republic before his career at BYU. He is also an Eagle Scout. The tight end has become very close friends with his quarterback Flacco. "They hang out together with their wives and do things all the time," said the father.
This May, Dennis Jr. and his wife Mataya, will bring Dennis Sr. and his wife Linda their sixth grandchild — a boy. His sister Kelly is also due in May with grandchild No. 7.
The parents are not attending the Super Bowl in New Orleans this weekend. They chose to watch the game in the comfort of their own home. But another daughter, Lindsey, and her husband are at the game.
As one can imagine, the Pitta family couldn't be happier with the progress of this Raven superstar-in-the-making. He's exceeded expectations of college recruiters and NFL scouts, who pegged him for a fourth-round pick despite being a finalist for the MacKay Award and one of the leading receivers in college football his senior year at BYU.
The Dennis Pitta story reminds you of a quote by Shaquille O'Neal: "Excellence is not a singular act but a habit. You are what you do repeatedly."
And since the son took up this game, he's repeatedly exceeded the bar set for him. He did it in high school, at BYU and as an NFL player now ready to climb on the game's biggest stage.
"He's a good kid and it is fun watching him," said the father.
Yes, Dennis Sr. — it is and he is.

The Many Wigs of Daisy Bucket
May 24, 2012
John Long
Spencer Brown is on a roll. One might wonder how he keeps his schedule together these days without a personal assistant, but then again, for all we know, he may have an alter ego by another name who does that for him.
Brown is known to many as the Kansas City drag queen Daisy Buckët (pronounced, of course, bouquet). But he also wears the beehive wig and the character of Trampolina in the San Francisco-based revue group called The Kinsey Sicks. The group performed in Kansas City at the Country Club Congregational United Church of Christ in Brookside in October 2009. They have a new music CD of parodies, called Electile Dysfunction, that has just been released (see the Musicality review in this issue).
Brown said his role of Trampolina is going well since he joined the group in October 2008.
In February when we were premiering our Electile Dysfunction show in D.C., after four years, they decided to make me a partner in the business. So now I have even more side tasks, when Im not dressed up, where I am furiously typing away on computers, trying to get us booked in other places. Ive been talking to Michael Lintecum about getting us here in December as part of their World AIDS Day 25th anniversary of AIDS Walk.
His latest incarnation of his famed Daisy Buckët persona is a new one-woman show called Balls of Brass that Buckët performs once a month at Hamburger Marys, usually on the fourth Friday of the month (but sometimes on the third Friday, depending on Browns traveling schedule). The next performance will be June 15.
Its a 9 p.m. show, and theres no cover, said Brown.
I was inspired by a Canadian drag queen that I met in Mexico, when I was there with The Kinsey Sicks. And she did this 90-minute one-woman show, all these costume changes, celebrity impersonations, raunchy jokes, songs, singing and dancing. And I thought, Why dont I try something like that? I wanted to kind of showcase myself and what Im capable of doing. So I talked to Jeff Edmondson at Marys, and he said, I dont know why you havent approached me about this sooner.
Brown said that there have been three monthly performances of Balls of Brass and the packed-house crowds have been very receptive. Its a 90-minute show with about 16 songs. Brown said he tried the show initially with a brief intermission, but he now prefers to do the show in one continuous stretch.
That turned out to be the most successful. When its just me, it works, he said with a laugh. I kind of feel like Im hosting a party.
Brown also is now working with other performers in The Girlie Show at their new venue of Californos in Westport on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. The group consists of four men who sing in their own voices in the characters of Loretta Martin, Christa Collins, Tajma Stetson and Buckët. Brown originated The Girlie Show at the former bar Natasha, and it has also played at Missie Bs.
Its nice to have a venue that isnt necessarily a club. It feels like an intimate cabaret setting, which the original Girlie Show at bar Natasha was based on. Loretta Martin is in it, Christa Collins is in it and she sings her Whitney Houston and her Donna Summer songs in the original key, which drives me nuts because she is so good at it. And Tajma hosts, and if shes not hosting, shell sing a few songs and whip out her clarinet and play it during the show.
Brown attended the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York on a scholarship for the two-year program, but said he really didnt consider a career on Broadway and returned to Kansas City. He worked with the classic Late Night Theatre in three productions, Disaster 74, Come Back to the 9 to 5 Dolly Parton, and A Scarrie Carrie Christmas Carol. He has also worked with Eubank Productions. He developed the persona of Daisy Buckët after returning from New York to Kansas City.
Browns production of The Rose: The 30th Anniversary Musical ran at the La Esquina theatre in Kansas City in July and August of 2009. Brown said that his good friend Chadwick Brooks proposed it to Ron Megee, who directed the project. The show starred another Late Night Theatre alum, David Wayne Reed.
A tireless fundraiser for AIDS Walk, Browns Team Buckët raised nearly $30,000 an all-time record for them in the April 2012 AIDS Walk. Hes also now working on casting drag queens for their annual AIDS Walk wall calendar, for which production will soon get underway.
Buckët hosts the weekly Sunday drag brunch at Hamburger Marys, among other events in town, and will be a big part of Hamburger Marys KC Pride weekend events this year.
Dirty Dorothy and I are doing one of our old cabaret shows from bar Natasha, she said. A show that starts at 9 on Friday, June 1, is what were essentially calling the Rainbow Riot, in honor of the Stonewall riots. And there is dance music happening and drag queens will come out and do show-stopping songs. Weve got Melinda, Loreal, De De, myself, the list goes on, Monique, girls old and new from all over the scene that do drag.
Brown said he never planned to make drag a full-time job, although thats how its working out.
Its exhausting but its really fun.
When I asked him whether he ever added up all the hours he puts in per week, he laughed and said, And you know what, when I have time I will.

She's a pop singer that rose to fame within the last few years. She tied Micheal Jackson's record of #1 singles from one album with her last album, Teenage Dream (five of her #1s were consecutive, she had six total), and is in general a talented woman. Her voice is unique and not for everyone, but I like it. She writes/co-writes all of her songs and writes for other artists as well. Search for her on Youtube and judge for yourself though.

Val Joshua, who served for 29 years as president of the Vancouver chapter of the NAACP, died Monday. She was 92.
The YWCA's Val Joshua Racial Justice Award is named for her.
Pat Jollota, a former member of the Vancouver City Council who worked for years as curator of the Clark County Historical Museum, said Monday that Joshua was part of the "Class of '42."
In the early 1940s, more than 8,000 blacks moved to Vancouver to work in the shipyards, building ships for World War II.
"She's on the cover of my 'Legendary Locals of Vancouver' book," Jollota said of Joshua.
"We talk about the 'Greatest Generation' who fought in the war," Jollota said. "Val was a member of the 'Greatest Generation' who stayed here and made things better."
"She really did impact the city of Vancouver," the Rev. Marva Edwards said. "She was in community efforts all over."
Edwards serves now as president of the Vancouver chapter of the NAACP.
"We lost a great person," Edwards said. "One that cared about people and she showed it in everything that she did.
"I patterned my life after her.
"She started the WORTH program with the YWCA and they visited the women in prison," Edwards added. She said Joshua in October received an NAACP Lifetime Achievement award at a tri-state convention. She noted that Joshua was president of the Vancouver NAACP for 29 years.
Bertha Baugh, who arrived in Vancouver in 1945, said she and Joshua were friends for more than 50 years.
"She was involved in so many organizations," Baugh. She said she and Joshua worked four years on the 2012 book, "First Families of Vancouver's African American Community: From World War II to the Twenty-First Century."
In 2009, Joshua told a Columbian reporter that she came to Vancouver with her husband, Joseph, from Gilmer, Texas, in 1944. They helped start the local NAACP.
"His parents were here and they sent us train tickets," she said then.
They lived in McLoughlin Heights in war housing. At first, "the whites were on one side of the street and the African-Americans were on the other side. And we took care of that. We worked on it with the housing authority and the NAACP."
"The Vancouver Housing Authority wanted to integrate housing," Joshua said. D. Elwood Caples, the VHA board chairman, was helpful, as was tenant adviser Mark Smith, a black man.
But there was tension, she said.
"Some of the churches were not very kind in accepting African-Americans into their congregations," Joshua said at that time.
So, Vancouver blacks tended to worship in Portland, and Joshua remembered tolls on the Interstate 5 Bridge.
Joshua is survived by her daughter, Jackie Webster, and three sons, Michael, Joey and Reggie. She was preceded in death by two sons, Ronnie and Gerald, and her husband, Joseph.

College Hockey:Engelstad Arena Tapped to Host 2005 World Juniors
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Hockey has selected the University of North Dakota's Ralph Engelstad Arena as host of the 2005 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship. The 10-nation tournament features the world's best players under 20 years of age. The selection of Grand Forks and the awarding of the event to USA Hockey are pending official approval by the IIHF General Congress in June.
"Following an exhaustive and comprehensive bid evaluation process, our selection committee left Grand Forks fully convinced and confident that the event organizers will oversee a successful and first-class tournament," said USA Hockey president Walter Bush. "The World Junior Championship is a crown jewel within international hockey circles and serves as a launching pad for nearly all of the top players in the National Hockey League and Olympic Games."
Engelstad Arena was completed in 2001 with two sheets of ice. It seats more than 11,800 spectators, features in-house television production capabilities, and is arguably the finest college hockey rink in the United States. The arena is slated to serve as the primary rink for tournament competition, but another 3,800-capacity facility (also to be named Ralph Engelstad Arena) is currently being raised in Thief River Falls, Minn. A one-hour drive from Grand Forks, this new two-sheet arena will also host games during the IIHF World Junior Championship.
In addition, the organizing committee plans to host an interactive fan festival at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. Competition is set to begin in late December of 2004, with the bronze and gold medal games slated for the first week of January 2005.
"Hosting the 2005 IIHF World Junior Championship satisfies one of the original purposes of Ralph Engelstad Arena — to grow into Junior-aged hockey divisions, which USA Hockey represents," said Todd Berning, Engelstad Arena general manager. "Our approach will focus on providing accommodations, ticket sales, and corporate sponsorship and marketing consistent with a world-class event. We're extremely pleased to be selected as the host site by USA Hockey and we will be preparing in anticipation of the World Junior Championship for the next two years."
Grand Forks was chosen over two other finalist locations: Columbus, Ohio and Omaha, Neb. Five total bids were received by USA Hockey.
"We were extremely impressed by all of the bid applications that we received, particularly those of our eventual finalists," said Doug Palazzari, executive director of USA Hockey. "But our decision came down to three primary factors in favor of Grand Forks: First, the uniquely superior quality and design of Ralph Engelstad Arena is tailor-made to suit this tournament. Second, there will be a high level of community excitement and commitment supplied by an area so rich in hockey tradition. And, finally, there is strong leadership in place with the host committee to ensure the execution of crucial business and marketing plans."
Since its inception in 1977, the IIHF World Junior Championship has been held in the United States three times: 1982 in Minnesota's Twin Cities, 1989 in Anchorage, Alaska, and 1996 in Boston. On Thursday, Canada will begin hosting the 2003 IIHF World Junior Championship in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the event travels to Finland in 2004. The United States has earned three medals in tournament history, claiming the bronze in both 1986 and 1992, and the silver in 1997.

"The graphics are definitely like, 10% better than the old Xbox"
For about two years now, I've been pacing out the front of my local EV Games store, contemplating freezing myself to make the wait for South Park: The Stick of Truth pass quicker. Finally, it'll be out this week, close enough that the date won't suddenly scuttle away from us again like those damn Crab People.
In the meantime, as a warm-up for the game based on the series, let's revisit these episodes of the series, based on games.
The first episode on this list already bends the article's premise a little. Sorry. This one isn't exactly about games, but it deals with one of gaming's biggest franchises, so shut up.
This obvious parody of Pokemon sweeps all the kids of South Park into a frenzy, as it did us in our preteens (and further into our teens than we'd like to admit). The parents wave it off as another harmless fad, but the motives behind it all might be a little darker than they realise.
It looks like Chinpokomon dolls are a hidden collectable in The Stick of Truth. Gotta buy 'em all!
Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny become addicted to their new gaming system, the Okama GameSphere (this was back in the Nintendo GameCube days). But their joy is short-lived when their console is kidnapped by the military, who will only return it to the boys in exchange for turning in their new "friend" Towelie, a talking, constantly high, smart-towel.
To rescue their beloved GameSphere, the kids impatiently go through a series of video game-like trials and exciting action sequences. But it's all just getting in the way of their precious gaming time.
This was Towelie's first appearance, and he'll no doubt show up at some stage in The Stick of Truth to remind players to always bring a towel.
While not exactly about games, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have specifically credited this episode with why we even have a South Park RPG on the way now. This first aired in 2002, meaning the seeds of the game were planted 12 years ago.
The episode sees the boys dressing up and playing their own version of The Lord of the Rings, on a quest to return that very movie to the video store from whence it came. What they don't realise is that Stan's parents mistakenly switched the movie with a porno, and are urgently trying to find the kids before they can see it.
Also desperate to get their hands on the video are the sixth-graders (parodying the ring-wraiths), and poor Butters, who'll do anything to finish watching "his precious".
The costumes the kids wear, particularly Cartman's, bear a close resemblance to those in The Stick of Truth.
Kenny is the first to get a PSP, and quickly masters a game called Heaven vs Hell. Just as he finishes the final level, he's struck down by a truck and arrives in Heaven to learn that the PSP was a test from God: the first human to beat the game was the Chosen One, the mortal with the strategic skills required to lead Heaven's army to victory.
However, the fate of the war becomes uncertain when Kenny is revived, and his soul becomes trapped in his vegetative body in a hospital bed.
This episode won an Emmy for its discussion of euthanasia and respecting the privacy and final wishes of coma patients.
Ah, the famous World of Warcraft episode. This one is an absolute classic, winning an Emmy and constantly topping lists of fan-favourite episodes. Blizzard even actively helped out with the episode's production, which is partly filmed in-game.
The South Park kids are all addicted to the online sensation – not Hello Kitty: Island Adventure, the other one. But an impossibly strong, high-level player keeps killing them all, leading most to rage-quit. Ignoring school and all other commitments, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny grind for weeks, to level up enough to take him on.
Their efforts catch the attention of Blizzard execs, who fear that this mass rage-quit epidemic will lead to the end of the World…of Warcraft. They entrust the n00b Randy to deliver an overpowered weapon to the boys before they rush into battle.
Cartman's frustration in waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out is a pain all gamers can relate to, and his solution – to freeze himself – has crossed the minds of even the most strong-willed of us.
There's an important lesson for gamers in this two-parter: be patient. Otherwise, you might stay frozen and wake up in the year 2546 in the middle of a war between atheist factions and otters.
If you think it's hard to find retro consoles now, imagine trying to hunt down a 500 year old relic to play some Wii Sports.
Trey and Matt are experts at crafting ridiculous stories within familiar structures, and this episode is a perfect example.
Stan and Kyle become an awesome duo playing Guitar Hero, and their journey follows a classic "rise and fall of a band" plot. They start off small, playing the game in front of friends, but are "discovered" by an agent when they score a record-breaking 100,000 points. From there, pressure mounts until the band breaks up, and Stan becomes addicted to Heroin Hero, a game about "chasing the dragon".
It looks like The Stick of Truth uses a similar story structure, telling a classic fantasy narrative but, you know, it's just kids playing make-believe.
Cartman's moral bankruptcy reaches a new low, as he builds a sports empire based around exploiting crack-addicted babies.
However, he soon gets muscled out of the business by EA Sports, who screw him over for their own profit and leave him with nothing. Sounds about right, coming from the company twice voted the worst in America.
Parallels with slavery are used to discuss companies exploiting people for profit, and while its main example is college sports players (and crack babies), the issue definitely extends to the games industry and media.
"Now let's part with that old EA Sports saying: get the f*ck outta my building!"
When the kids become concerned that their impressionable parents are watching objectionable, graphic cop shows on TV, they band together and enforce the parental lock systems on their devices. The only way to access the content is by answering questions about stuff that only kids know: namely, Minecraft.
In order to bypass the content blocks, the adults begin to play Minecraft, and a sudden spate of real-life crimes inspired by the game springs up. All over town, people are digging holes, punching trees and building cabins.
This episode perfectly turns the whole "are video games too violent?" argument on its head.
This epic three-part saga aired only a few months ago, and acts as a direct prequel to The Stick of Truth.
In costumes inspired by their new obsession, Game of Thrones, the kids all develop a plan of attack to get inside the mall on Black Friday, when the new consoles will be massively cheap. However, a disagreement over whether to get Playstation 4s or Xbox Ones divides the group's loyalty, and a huge war breaks out.
In true South Park tradition, what begins simply as the kids playing their own little game soon blows up into a global phenomenon, with even the heads of Microsoft and Sony getting involved.
Not content to just make fun of the overhyped video game console wars, the episodes also do a fantastic job of skewering every aspect of Game of Thrones: the slow pace, the constant betrayals, regularly killing off beloved characters, the obsession with wieners (watch for an a cappella version of the theme song, with wiener-centric lyrics).
And it ends with a perfect preface to the game itself, followed by a jab at their own frequent delays. This three-parter psyched up my anticipation for the game tenfold.
Thursday can't get here soon enough.

In a daring experiment, researchers at the Brigham Women's Hospital found that just 21 days of irregular sleeping hours is enough to turn healthy participants into pre-diabetics. [1]
Twenty-one apparently healthy participants, of both genders and aged in their 20s and 60s, lived in a controlled environment for six weeks. Researchers monitored and adjusted the food, sleep times, and activities. For each of the first 12 days, the volunteers slept for around 10 hours, which is a healthy amount of sleep.
The amount of sleep time was then reduced to 5.6 hours per 24-hour day for the next three weeks, with the sleep starting at different times. This was done to simulate a person living a busy life, and also the effects of rotating shift work. In effect, the researchers simulated a 28-hour day to shift the bio-rhythms (circadian rhythms) and observe the effect on the volunteers' glucose levels and metabolism. For the last 9 days of the experiment, all of the participants were allowed to adjust back to sleeping normally for 10 hours a night.
The results
The reduced sleep, and shifted sleeping times led to the volunteers' bodies making more glucose after each meal and 32% less insulin. Together, these observations were indicative of some of the participants becoming pre-diabetic. Researchers also noticed an eight percent reduction in the participants' metabolic rate, which equates to a weight gain of 12.5Ib per year. During the final 9 days of the study, the changes to the participants' insulin, glucose, and metabolic rate reversed back to healthier levels.
Concerns about the study
In some ways, the research failed to closely replicate real life. The volunteers saw no clocks, and always lived in a dimly-lit environment, as if they resided on a space station. This is not how people live every day; we see daylight, experience sunlight, and breathe fresh air, even if in some cases it is just for a few minutes. In addition, the imposition of a '28-hour day' has little real world relevance. Some of the participants lost a little of their body weight (1%), although whether the loss was of muscle or fat is unknown, and the researchers could say what caused it.
Real world implications (for people who don't live in a lab!)
When you consistently get to bed at irregular, late times, your body's blood glucose and insulin levels are affected, and you move towards being diabetic. This slowly leads to weight gain and obesity. In simple language, sleeping late gains weight.
I have seen slim women in their twenties gain 200Ibs in just five years by living a stressful life of staying up late consistently, working long hours, and failing to exercise and eat healthily. The research describes what happens in the real world.
Just three weeks of inactivity and irregular sleep can dramatically change how the human body functions. For some people, staying up late for 21 days happens when they have a busy workload at their job or at university. For others, the small hours of the night is the only quiet time they get, and so they watch late night television. Some people are required to be alert because they choose to work for the military, security companies, or emergency services.
Whatever your reason, being awake at night for a prolongued number of weeks or months, or getting insufficient night time sleep is harmful to your health. Between 10pm and 2am is the time period when the human body does most of its repair work.[2] If you are up during that time, your body is unable to repair itself fully, and eventually, parts of it fail to work properly, leading to diabetes and other diseases.
We are daytime creatures, and have been for millenia. As a part of nature we are meant to be resting and asleep during the hours of darkness, like many other mammals. Trying to fight nature by sleeping less, sleeping irregularly, and working shifts damages the human body. Nature fights back by making our bodies more likely to produce a stroke or heart attack, and cancer when we consistently sleep late and work shifts.
Research has also shown that people who get to bed around 10 or 10:30 lose more weight than people who stay up late. The clients I see who go to bed at a reponsible, healthy time (10 - 10:30pm) look younger, are slimmer, and are successful in many areas of their lives; they know that to get the most out of their body, they have to take care of it.
Infrequent, short periods of sleep disruption can be handled by a healthy body, which recovers after the person reverts to their healthy sleeping habits. When we are in poor health, the effects of sleep disruption and shifts can be more damaging, and takes longer to recover from; an unhealthy body is less able to cope with the stress of sleep disturbances and needs longer to heal.

You can opt-in to order this item at the usual 40% discount. Unless you opt-in, you will not receive this item.

Book Club FAQs
If I join "Hot Off the Press" am I obligated to buy every new product? Is there a minimum number of products I have to buy?
You are by no means obligated to buy every new release! We only ask that you purchase a minimum of one product per year to be considered an "active" club member. When you join the Club you receive larger discounts on your products, and we receive a base of loyal supporters who choose to receive our new releases.

Sometimes, however, we come out with a new edition of an old product that contains substantial and important changes from the original. In these instances, we will treat the new edition as if it were a new product release. If you do not want the new edition, simply click the "Do Not Send this Product" link in your email notificaton.

Mandalorian Wars: The Jedi Torn (Take 2)
Mandalorian Wars:
The Jedi Torn
Defence at Alderaan
The Mandalorians began a crusade of conquest against the
galaxy beginning with the worlds on the galaxys outer rim.
For 32 years the armies of the warrior race invaded many
planets and moons destroying any one who dared to stand
against them before their sights finally turned to the
The Army of the unified worlds pleaded with the Jedi
council for help but they refused to fight, however to young
Jedi known as Malak and Revan chose to go against their
masters wishes and went to the republics aid taking all
those who would follow with them
__________________________________________________ __
Two Mandalorians paced up and down the long balcony of an Alderaan political Building, It had been taken control of when the Mandalorians first landed on to the planet. The Mandalorians had managed to invest three of the planets cities with their first wave of the invasion.
They had caught the defending republic fleet completely by surprise managing to get the majority of its drop ships down to the planet. The Commander of the Mandalorians invasion force took full control of three of the Cities not to far from its capital.
While the Battle Raged in orbit trying to prevent more Mandalorians breaking its lines the Republic army on the planet had begun its attempts to take back the planet.
The Mandalorian guards continued pacing the building that had been made the base of operations for all the Mandalorians within the city. They carried their heavy repeater blasters while looking out over the city for anyone to shoot at, Republic soldiers and civilians alike.
Suddenly a ball flame exploded out of the highest level of the building shaking it to its very foundations, The Guards wobbled on their feet grabbing what they could to keep upright. Out of the Fire a man fell from the highest level and tumbled downwards towards the balcony.
His clothing, that of a Jedi, seemed to be inflame as he struggled to pull off the outer robes, he managed to get it off throwing it away from him and letting it fall away from the building. The Jedi landed on his feet crouching onto one hand.
He looked up at the two Mandalorian guards who had managed to right themselves and point their large Guns at him.
This was not part of the escape plan. The Jedi, reminded himself before using his three hand to grab his Lightsaber and ignite it.
Swinging it upwards he cut the first Mandalorians weapon in half while in the same motion he swung his saber in a horizontal motion cutting the other Mandalorian down. He then jumped upward and flipped backwards using his legs to kick the first Mandalorian hard in the face, the Mandalorian fell backwards and unconscious.
This is General Jesp. The Jedi announced into his comlink. Command center neutralised, begin the assault on the city.

MEDINA — Medina County Auditor Mike Kovack announced Tuesday he will seek re-election to a sixth four-year term.
Kovack, 51, has served as county auditor for two decades and has not been challenged in the past two Democratic primary contests.
"I certainly do not expect any primary challengers," he said Tuesday.
Kovack said the next four years will be a critical time in the auditor's office because of "numerous changes in Ohio law, a re-invigorated local economy and anticipated turnover in critical personnel.
"I believe I'm best suited to successfully guide the auditor's office through these challenges."
If re-elected, Kovack plans to overhaul the auditor's website, smoothly institute new state law changes that recently were passed, and implement transition and progression plans for key offices within the department.
Kovack, who has been auditor since being appointed in 1993, said his office has received 20 consecutive certificates for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the International Government Finance Officers Association and clean state audits.
Kovack also served as a commander in the Navy and served tours in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as a special assignment in 2008 as an executive assistant to the Navy comptroller.
He retired from the Navy last June with 28 years of service.
Kovack is the first candidate to file petitions for the May 6 primary with the Medina County Board of Elections. The deadline for filing is Feb. 5.

This book is a personal record of the birds I have managed to photograph over the years starting in 2003. As it is a personal record it has limited appeal to others. I am making it publicly viewable to help anyone who may be considering doing something similar.
I plan on doing this on an annual basis with the 2011 book showing the list plus highlights of the adds and upgrades.
Comment posted.
thebarnstudi says Good stuff! You have QUITE a collection of bird photos. Very scientific and informative. I appreciate your sharing. Regards, John Ghiggeri - The Barn Studio.

To everythingthere is a season,a time for everymatter under heaven;a time to be born,and a time to die;a time to plant,and a time to pluckup what is planted;a time to weep,and a time to laugh,a time to mourn,and a time to dance;a time to keep,and a time to cast away.
I lift up my eyes to the hills---from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;He who keeps you will not slumber.
He who keeps Israelwill neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;the LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all evil;he will keep your life.
The LORD will keep your going out and yourcoming in from this time on and forevermore.
God grant me the serenity to acceptthe things I cannot change,courage to change the things I can,and the wisdom to know the difference.
Lord, make me an instrumentof your peace;Where there is hatred,let me sow love;Where there is injury,pardon;Where there is doubt,faith;Where there is despair,hope;Where there is darkness,light;And where there is sadness,joy.
O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so muchseek to be consoled as toconsole;To be understood as tounderstand;to be loved, as to love;For it is in giving that wereceive;It is in pardoning that weare pardoned;And it is in dying that we areborn to eternal life.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:He leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in thepaths of righteousness for His name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley ofthe shadow of death, I will fear no evil:for thou art with me; Thy rod andthy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presenceof mine enemies: thou anointest my headwith oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow meall the days of my life: and I willdwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Hail, Mary, full of grace,the Lord is with you.Blessed are you among womenand blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,pray for us sinners nowand at the hour of our death.May (Insert first name) souland the soul's of all thefaithfully departedrest in peace.
God is our refuge and strength, a verypresent help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, though theearth be moved, and though the mountainsbe carried into the midst of the sea;Though the waters thereof roar and betroubled, though the mountains shake withthe swelling thereof.There is a river, the streams whereof shallmake glad the city of God, the holy place ofthe tabernacles of the most High.God is in the midst of her; she shall not bemoved: God shall come to her aid at early dawn.
Come unto me,all ye that labourand are heavy laden,and I will give you rest.
As for man, his days are as grass:as a flower of the field,so he flourisheth.For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone.But the mercy of the LordIs from Everlasting to Everlasting.
God heals the brokenhearted,and binds up their wounds.He counts the starsand calls them all by name.How great is our Lord!His power is absolute!His understanding iswithout measure!
As the deer thirsts for flowingbrooks, so longs my soul foryou, O God.
Jesus said, "I am the resurrectionand the life; he who believes in me,though he die, yet shall he live,and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die."
Jesus said, "Let the little childrencome to me, and do not hinder them,for the kingdom of heaven belongsto such as these.
Children of the heavenly FatherSafely in His bosom gather,Nestling bird or star in heaven|Such a refuge ne'er was given.
Why should I feel discouragedwhy should the shadows comeWhy should my heart be lonelyand long for heaven and homeWhen Jesus is my portionmy constant friend is HeHis eye is on the sparrowand I know He watches me.
As we gather here today, to paytribute to a loved one and friend, letus remember and hold in memory,and cherish those moments that eachof us shared in some way with ourdeparted one.
Let us join hands and hearts togetherin this service so that it may lendcomfort and solace to the family andserve as an inspiration to all of us inthe months and years ahead.
And so now I give a new commandment toyou... love each other just as I love you.
God gives grace for each trial,And courage for each sorrow,And faith to face in confidenceA blessed, bright tomorrow.
May He support us all theday long, till the shadeslengthen and the eveningcomes, and the busy worldis hushed and the fever oflife is over and our work isdone. Then in His mercymay He give us a safelodging and a holy restand peace at the last.-Cardinal Newman
Lord, when mysoul takes flight, may it rise swiftly tolive forever in your love and careLife is God's gift to us,what we do with our lifeis our gift to God.If we had been given onlyone day of life, it wouldhave been generous.If we had been given onlyone storm that left us un-harmed, it would have beengenerous.If we had been given onlyone moment's pride in thesuccess of our labors, itwould have been generous.But we have been given lifeand time, joy and sorrowsunshine and storms, laughterand tears, gifts to shareand days to remember.May we in gratitude giveback to Life what we so generously receive from theGiver of Life.
O, gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever presentin the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumedwith burning love for the poor captive soulsin Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thydeparted servant. Be not severe in Thy judge-ment, but let some drops of Thy preciousBlood fall upon the devouring flames, and doThou, O merciful Saviour, send Thy Angelsto conduct Thy departed servant to a place ofrefreshment, light and peace. Amen.May the souls of all the faithful departed,through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Why do people carve their initials in trees? Or place their hands in cement? They want to leave their mark, and to be remembered. But the real marks they leave are the ones they've made on us. A hug. A smile. A kind word. We want to remember them. This touching video helps families see how remembering can help them deal with loss.

Preventing Elder Abuse by Caregivers
Source: California Elder Justice Coalition
Content Type: PDF (2 page fact sheet)
The California Elder Justice Coalition's (CEJC) Caregiving subcommittee has released a policy brief describing the interface between caregiving and elder abuse. It highlights the need for caregiver services, promoting caregiver assessments that identify caregivers' needs and identify high risk situations, and holding abusive caregivers accountable. According to Donna Benton, CEJC Caregiving Subcommittee Chair and USC Assistant Research Professor of Gerontology: "Too often family caregivers are overlooked when thinking about ways to prevent or decrease risk for elder abuse. These are the people who are the eyes and ears for vulnerable elderly. If we don't find ways to support their struggles, then we place the whole long-term care system at risk."
