Sweet Melissa // During these cool, crisp October afternoons, a meal at Sweet Melissa is like a warm hug. The rustic décor, with wooden floors and dimmed lights, is as comforting as the friendly service at the Rocky River restaurant, which opened four years ago in the former Max's Deli spot. The extensive menu is full of organic, locally grown and hormone-free appetizers, salads, pastas, tacos and wraps. We suggest indulging in one of the restaurant's popular appetizers, the fried Brussels sprouts ($6). Soaked in ponzu (a sweet soy sauce) and honey and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce, the sprouts are a crispy reinvention of traditional chips-and-dip starters. If you're looking for salads, go with the warm goat cheese salad ($7) — a sweet and tart mix of cranberries, pine nuts, balsamic vinaigrette and green apples on a bed of field greens. Most salads are half-price when paired with select entrees such as the pumpkin sage gnocchi ($12), a creamy combination of wild mushrooms, balsamic, goat cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and scallions. If you can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner, try the pulled chicken risotto ($13). The warm, gluten-free casserole of butternut squash, bacon, dried cranberries, basil and Parmesan is a healthy alternative to grandma's cooking.

Private Military Company (PMC), or private military or a security company, provides military and armed security services. These combatants are commonly known as mercenaries, though modern-day PMCs euphemistically prefer to refer to their staff as security contractors or private military contractors.
The services and expertise offered by PMCs are typically similar to those of governmental military or police forces, most often on a smaller scale. While PMCs often provide services to train or supplement official armed forces in service of governments, they can also be employed by private companies to provide bodyguards for key staff or protection of company premises, especially in hostile territories. However, contractors who use offensive force in a war zone could be considered unlawful combatants, in reference to a concept outlined in the Geneva Conventions and explicitly specified by the US Military Commissions Act.
Defense or military contractors in the community provide products or services to the military and the government. Services typically include military aircraft, ships, vehicles, weaponry, and electronic systems and can include logistics, technical and training communications support, and in some cases team-based engineering in cooperation with the government.
Contractors do not generally provide direct support of military operations. Under the 1949 Geneva Conventions military contractors engaged in direct support of military operations may be legitimate targets of military attacks (compared to a private military contractors).
Defense contracting has expanded dramatically over the last decade, particularly in the United States, where in the last fiscal year the Department of Defense spent nearly $316 billion on contracts. Contractors have also assumed a much larger on-the-ground presence during recent American conflicts: during the 1991 Gulf War the ratio of uniformed military to contractors was about 50 to 1, while during the first four years of the Iraq War the U.S. hired over 190,000 contractors, surpassing the total American military presence even during the 2007 Iraq surge and 23 times greater than other allied military personnel numbers. In Afghanistan alone, the presence of almost 100,000 contractors has resulted in a near 1 to 1 ratio with military personnel.
Humanitarian relief workers respond to natural disasters, assist refugees fleeing war, or help to rebuild shattered communities in post conflict environments. Most people find the job challenging, rewarding, unusual and absorbing.
Agencies and assignments vary greatly and can be the most meaningful job in the world. Working and living conditions in the field vary from one location to another. Depending on the circumstances, international aid and emergency response workers may work without many of the comforts, support network and basic infrastructure to which most overseas contractors accustomed.
Antarctic support contractors support U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP), carrying forward U.S. goals in support of the Antarctic Treaty. The program strives to encourage international cooperation, maintain an active and influential presence in the region, and continue to conduct high-quality science research. The program is managed by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the USAP deploys roughly 3,000 people to Antarctica every year to conduct research, or provide support to researchers through the operation and maintenance of the research stations and vessels.
Workers provide support on the highest, driest, coldest, windiest and emptiest place on Earth and require exceptional logistics and planning expertise. A few of the unique challenges include managing the world's longest supply chain, building airfields on ice and snow, mechanics, cooks, painters, carpenters, cargo handlers, computer people, electricians, plumbers, forklift and heavy machinery operators, laboratory assistants, housekeeping, buyers, doctors and nurses, communications folks, welders, administrators, chefs and laborers, working in the world's worst weather conditions, and managing remote field camps, ice-breaking research vessels and the largest research stations and laboratories on the cold continent.
Offshore oil and gas contractors tackle more challenging roles than land-based installations due to the remote and harsher environment. Some people go offshore seeking adventure, most people work offshore to earn a lot of money in a short time. Working on an offshore oil rig is one of the best paid but also toughest jobs in the world. You work 12-hour shifts for 21 consecutive days followed by 21 days paid leave.
An oil rig isle is like a small town offshore operating 24 hours a day. Various systems are used depending on helicopter arrival times and company policies. Often contractors start their "trip" on day shifts and then switch to night shifts on your final days before going home. There can be up to 1000 personnel on board. The crew stays in 1-2 bed cabins of a comfortable standard comparable to a middle to top class hotel which include a bathroom and TV or internet connection. Service personnel take care of laundry, cleaning and making up the cabins.
Construction workers work on construction sites around the world, doing a wide range of tasks from the very easy to the extremely difficult and hazardous. Although many of the tasks they do require some training and experience, most jobs usually require little skill and can be learned quickly.
Construction work is required in every industry but most of our members work on projects such as U.S. embassies & consulates, U.S. military installations, assist in rebuild in post conflict countries, and private high profile projects. There's always construction going on in virtually every part of the world, but it seems building activity in certain countries are greater than in others. In any case, working in construction in another country can be a fun and valuable learning experience.

Elastic lava blows its top
Jun 26, 2001
Some volcanoes explode in one violent outburst, but the regular eruptions of an active 'Strombolian' volcano are interrupted by 'chugging' - that is, frequent small eruptions. Jonathan Lees of the University of North Carolina, US, and colleagues believe that this characteristic pattern is due to the viscoelastic properties of lava, and they have developed a model that accurately predicts the behaviour of these periodically exploding volcanoes. Lees and colleagues based their model on studies of Karymsky, a Strombolian-type volcano in eastern Russia that has active periods that last about 12 years separated by similar periods of calm.
The cool, thick lava near the top of the volcano is almost solid, and fills just the top 100 metres of the central cylindrical channel. In effect, this cold lava 'corks' the volcano. The hot magma deeper in the channel is under much greater pressure, and this column of low-viscosity lava is about 5 kilometres deep. Lees' team assumes that the channel of Karymsky is fed at a constant rate from the magma chamber below.
Large quantities of gas are dissolved in the magma deep inside the volcano and this makes it very compressible. As magma flows upwards, it compresses the hot lava already in the channel, and pressure builds up beneath the cold lava plug. This build-up period is the dormant phase of the volcano. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the upward shear forces acting on the plug make the cold lava around its rim much less viscous. This is because semi-viscous lava becomes 'runnier' than highly viscous lava when shear stress is applied to it. Once the rim of the plug has melted, the pressurised lava lifts the plug and the volcano belches gas and ash.
Once some of the pressure is released in this way, the plug sinks back into the volcano. The shear stress around the rim of the plug falls temporarily, and the plug again adheres to the column. But this phase is short-lived because as the plug falls, it compresses the lava, storing elastic energy. The lava pushes upwards again, exceeding the shear stress needed to melt the rim of the plug. This 'chugging' process then repeats itself. The time it takes for the pressure to build up to this level leads to the characteristic 'phase' of the volcano.
The model devised by Lees and colleagues - which accounts for the density, temperature, viscoelasticity and pressure of the lava - describes both the fast- and the short-period patterns of emission from Karymsky. "We are optimistic that it will fit accurately the behaviour of other Strombolian-type volcanoes", Lees told PhysicsWeb. "These include Sangay in Ecuador, Arenal in Costa Rica, and Semeru in Indonesia".

Hospital targeting heavy drinkers with new screening service
Accident victims whose health is being wrecked by drink are to be offered advice and support.
A new screening service at Slough's accident and emergency department at Wexham Park Hospital went live this week.
Accident and emergency consultant Dr Nick Jenkins said: "We often see patients with illnesses and injuries relating to alcohol use, however up until now have tended only to deal with the initial medical reason for attendance.
"The new alcohol screening service means we can now identify if alcohol might be the underlying cause of their health issue or visit to A&E and offer them advice and support to change their drinking habits."
Amy Chapman, project officer at Slough Drug and Alcohol Action Team, which commissioned the service, said: "The service will also identify high risk drinkers who frequently attend A&E and provide an opportunity to try to get them into treatment to address their alcohol use."
Statistics show that more than 95,000 adults in Wexham Park Hospital's catchment area have developed drinking habits which could be harmful to their health.
Wexham Park Hospital has around 7,000 alcohol related admissions every year.

Marks and Spencers' loss is online gambling group's gain.
Betfair has added some retail experience muscle to its board of directors with the appointment this week of Marks and Spencers finance exec Ian Dyson as an independent non- executive director.
The appointment of Dyson was immediately seen by industry observers as further proof that Betfair will soon seek a public listing .
The company recently hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley to review its options, which include a possible GBP 1.5 billion ($2.4 billion) share sale, the Sunday Times reported January 24, although Victoria Palmer-Moore, an external spokeswoman for the company, declined to comment .
Founded 11 years ago by Andrew Black and Edward Wray, Betfair says it processes more than 6 million transactions a day from 3 million registered customers, generating revenue from sports betting, online casino and poker games.

College Hockey:Living The Dream Again
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — When you enter a big time Division I program, you always dream of making an impact and a name for yourself. However, the downside is when the depth chart has NHL draft picks ahead of you. Your dreams can quickly be dashed.
For Mercyhurst goaltender Matt Lundin, that's what happened when he entered Maine in 2004. First it was Jim Howard who was the starter. He left after his junior year to sign for the Detroit Red Wings.
Then, hoping to move up to the top position in his sophomore year, along came a guy by the name of Ben Bishop, otherwise known as Big Ben, already selected by the St. Louis Blues.
Lundin saw play in nine games his freshman year (2.00 GAA, .928 save pct.), and when Bishop showed up, he did get into 14 games (1.72 GAA, .934 save pct.) with a 7-4 record as Maine initially looked at both options.
However, when Maine coach Tim Whitehead settled on Bishop as the starter, Lundin decided it was time to consider other options. First, since he was young enough, he went back to junior hockey, playing for Sioux Falls Stampede in the USHL, winning the Clark Cup Championship for 2006-7.
Then, looking at returning to college, he chose Mercyhurst.
"No secret that we were searching for a good goaltender," Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin said. "Matt was the guy we identified early, and we were fortunate enough to get him to come to Mercyhurst. He was the center of our universe."
"This is a great team to play for," Lundin said. "I'm glad I made the decision to come here."
Just how important has Lundin been to the Lakers this year? He was injured in the first game of the year against Ohio State in a 2-1 lost. While out the first ten games of the season, his team went 1-8-1. Since his return, the Lakers have gone 14-10-6.
Lundin was never completely healthy, but his toughness was never questioned.
"I don't think it's a secret that he's played all year with a bad shouder that requires surgery," Gotkin said.
Lundin played in 29 contests before tonight, sporting a 2.77 GAA and a .920 save pct. More importantly, he led his team to a second half turnaround, and then as a number five seed, all the way to the Atlantic Hockey championship game, where the Lakers lost a heartbreaker, 5-4, in double overtime.
"This year was great," Lundin said. "Win or lose, I couldn't have been in a better locker room. Better coaching staff. Better organization. Better teammates. I wouldn't have wanted to lose it with any other guys."
With one year of eligibility left and surgery planned in April, Lundin, unlike Howard and Bishop, does not plan on leaving early. He'll return for his senior year to make the most of his collegiate career. A career which may have initially been overshadowed, but is now blossoming in the spotlight.
"The future is great," Lundin said.

The Best Jazz Tracks of the Month
Jazz.com's critics have reviewed close to 300 tracks during the last month, but only a handful are recognized as Song of the Day. This regular feature is updated five times per week, and highlights an outstanding performance from a recent CD, with the aim of giving jazz fans a short list of top-notch new music worthy of their attention. Below are links to the reviews of the tracks honored as Song of the Day during February.
If you spend some time with these tracks, you will be struck by the diversity and unpredictability of the current jazz scene. Some examples:
• John Stetch is off in cartoon land, finding jazz inspiration in Elmer Fudd's least favorite theme song.
• Drummer Mike Clark gathers together a diverse crew (e.g., he is joined by Patrice Rushen and Christian McBride in the rhythm section) in order to make heavy funk in an all-acoustic band. S. Victor Aaron writes: "makes you wonder why Fender bothered to create an electric bass."
• Guitarist Nenad Gajin dishes out (in the words of Walter Kolosky) a heady mixture of "Serbian folk, city funk, R&B and fiery jazz-rock fusion" on a piece composed by Gajin along with keyboardist Bojan Zulfikarpasic (can I use that last name in Scrabble?).
• Today's featured song is from the recent 75 CD by the late Joe Zawinul, and captures the keyboardist a few weeks before his death from cancer in a moving duet with Wayne Shorter. The song will be a familiar one to jazz fans: "In a Silent Way," which Zawinul and Shorter had recorded with Miles back in 1969.
• Along the way, we find the latest offerings from well-known artists such as Benny Golson, Eliane Elias, Jeff "Tain" Watts and Derek Trucks.
As always, reviews come with a frank assessment of the proceedings, a ranking based on our proprietary 0-100 scale, full personnel and recording info and a link for (legal) downloading.

brilliant idea. But it would be even better if, instead of only a song, you would do it for an entire CD. Better and certainly more useful for your readers. CONGRATULATIONS, and keep the beat!

Nathan Palmer returns to Elkhart for concert debut, EP release of 'R.I.P. 2 my Heart'
Denver Broncos wide receiver and Elkhart native Nathan Palmer hopes to unveil a new side of himself through music.
ELKHART — Elkhart native and Denver Broncos wide receiver Nathan Palmer wants to be one of the first athletes to be taken seriously as a recording artist, to inspire people through music -- and a Grammy Award would be nice.
Palmer is coming home for a concert Saturday, April 12, that will double as a record release party for his debut EP, "R.I.P. 2 my Heart." The show marks his first performance in his hometown.
Palmer, who goes by the name Napalm, recorded the six-track album over the past year in Los Angeles, Denver and his current home town of Chicago. He looked to the music of Marvin Gaye, Usher and Chris Brown to set the tone of his album. The songs, Palmer said, are based on a recent relationship he was in.
"It was my way of getting it off my chest, and it's also a way for people to see a different side of me," he said. "I want to be able to show men that it's OK to be hurt. Some guys say a woman is never going to break their heart, but eventually it's going to happen. I play football and I'm in the NFL, and that's one of the most masculine things ever, but I've had my heart broken."
Palmer's concert is part of the Michiana Music Conference at the Northern Indiana Event Center, 21565 Executive Parkway in Elkhart. The show is also a fundraiser for the Napalm Football Camp, a summer program for kids that Palmer started in Elkhart in 2013.
Palmer said he has been tirelessly rehearsing and preparing for the concert with his vocal coach, Darious Lyles.
"When I would do my football workouts at the gym, he would make me sing," Palmer said. "I'm doing crunches and pushups, and he has me singing each note. That's something that he learned from Usher's vocal coach, and we do that three times a week. It's quite the challenge."
The concert starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, two days before Palmer's 25th birthday. Opening for Palmer are Quinton Clarkson, Swade, Corey Ronnell, Stuckeyboy with Ball Team and Mercury. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. For $20 in advance, concertgoers will get a ticket to the show and Palmer's album. The show is an 18 and older event.
Tickets are on sale at Perfect Touch, 612 S. Main St., and LeKres Gallery of Styles, 131 S. Main St. in Elkhart. Tickets are also available by calling (574) 532-9798, (317) 941-6442 or (404) 438-1556.

Dear Hyapatia
My boyfriend and I have sex a lot -- like five or six times a day. Some of our friends say we're addicted to sex. It doesn't seem like all that strange to me. Are we sex addicts?
Dear Annette,
Five or six times a day does seem a bit excessive, but if you two can get all the stuff done in a day that you need to do, then so what? It really isn't anyone else's business. There have been times in my life when a relationship was new and exciting – and I've had sex five or six times a day as well, but not for more than a month or two. But, again, if you're both happy, it's all that matters.
Dear Hyapatia,
My girlfriend don't want to fuck unless we're real high and the music is jammin'. That was cool with me for a while, but these are dry times. She don't need to be making it harder, by making me go without sex, too. Also, I like loud music, too, but she talks really quietly and I really get off on talking dirty. I want to be able to hear her moan and groan and beg for more.
Dear Jared,
Have you told your girlfriend how much you like to hear her sexy voice, and how you can't hear it over the music? Tell her how it turns you on. If that doesn't work, maybe you could suggest turning it down just a bit. You don't want bother the neighbors. [wink] As for wanting to be really stoned in order to have sex, something may be up there. Sometimes, when people prefer that their consciousness be completely altered in order to fuck, it's an indication that they may have had a bad experience in the past and are trying to forget about. Try a little heart to heart talk. If you're low on weed, help her relax with a hot bath. Or a body rub with sexy massage oils, candles and, of course, a little music.
Dear Hyapatia,
My girlfriend has a dog that hates me. Every time I kiss or hold hands or put my arm around her, the dog jumps in between us. I'm not afraid of the dog, but it's a big distraction. I've asked her to take him to obedience school, but she refuses. I suggested she leave the dog home when she comes over, but she says the dog makes her feel safe when she's away from home. I understand that, but there has to be a way to get this dog to settle down and accept the fact we're together. I've thought about giving the dog a little weed to make him chill. She's concerned that this will hurt the dog. But I've heard of people getting their pets stoned all the time.
Dear Phil,
Try dealing with the dog. Chew toys, bones or even a hamburger now and then can get you off the dog's shit list and make you his favorite friend. Once the dog feels sure that you're not going to take his owner away from him and that you're cool, I'm sure he'll come around. There's no doubt that some pets love pot. I once had a Siberian Husky that would eat any weed left out. My cat loves it and if I smoke, she won't get her face out of my smoke. I don't think getting a pet mildly stoned will do any harm. But don't overdo it. You're not a veterinarian and you should never medicate a pet into lethargy.
Hello Hyapatia,
My name is Diedra and I am currently taking hormones in preparation for my sex reassignment operation. I am a woman trapped in a man's body. I have done all kinds of therapy and my dream is finally coming true. I don't want anything to make it less than as successful as it can be. Which brings me to smoking weed. I smoke – a lot. Should I stop smoking? I'm afraid to tell my doctor. I'm afraid if he knew, he might not do the surgery. Have you heard of anyone going through the sex change – whether they smoked and if it affected them in any way?
Dear Diedra,
I'm sorry, but I've never been close enough to a person who's gone through a sex change to know. I'm not a doctor; I really can't give medical advice. But my gut reaction is that cannabis is of nature and the earth. Humans have receptors for cannabinoids, so I wouldn't think it could do any harm. But honestly, if you're going through all this to become what you always wanted to be, be sure. Ask a medical professional – especially your own doctor!

Baltimore County Police arrested Mark Tyrone Gibson, 37, and William Terrell Hudson, 33, late Tuesday in the parking lot of the White Marsh Mall, charging the men with first degree theft and burglary, as they tried to sell the owner back his deaf pit bull puppy stolen from a recent burglary reported Fox Baltimore.com.
Both men are being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center in lieu of $20,000 bond each.
The 13-week-old white pit bull puppy named Thor, has been the center of attention on social media, since being stolen during a robbery on March 13 at Mike Lenhart's home located on the 2400 block of Chetwood Circle.
The robbers stole expensive electronics including a flat screen television, a Playstation 3 console, and a MacBook Pro laptop.
None of the items stolen have been recovered.
A Facebook page called Help Thor Get Home helped to raise awareness plus a hefty $2,000 reward offered for the puppy's safe return.
According to ABC2 news.com, however, a coordinated effort between the puppy's owner and the Baltimore County Police brought the little white pooch home safe and sound.
Thor's snow white coat was dirty as if the puppy had spent time outside, but the excited bundle of cuteness knew he was home and romped in pure delight.
Some of the money raised for Thor's safe return will be returned to the donors, however the rest of the reward money will be donated to a charitable organization involved in pit bull rescue or support of the breed.
Welcome home Thor.

The 'Dr. Laura' Bit
And More Ridiculous
Bible Quotes
From: "Andrew"
To: Positive Atheism <email@example.com>
Subject: Q - ridiculous bible quotes?
Date: Sunday, June 11, 2000 10:34 AM
Cliff, I was poking around the web and wound up right back in Portland, Oregon where I live. :-)
Anyway, I wonder if you know of a web page listing "ridiculous bible quotes"? I.e. stuff that is completely discredited by society, like it's OK to own slaves from neighboring countries. :-) I heard Dr. Dean Edell quoting from such a list yesterday on his radio show. Seems like great ammo when arguing with Christian zelots who insist on quoting scripture as "fact."
If you know of such a page, please let me know.

I am glad to see the "Dear Dr. Laura" bit getting such wide distribution, and am not surprised to hear that it made the Dean Edell show. It showed up on Michael Shermer's "Skeptic" list, several humor lists, and even made the print edition of "Positive Atheism Magazine" last May! I used to be an avid listener before Dr. Edell's show was taken off our market. Now I must go to Dr. Edell's web page in order to listen via the Internet, and that's kind of a pain (no pun intended). I shouldn't whine, however, because at least we can listen to it at all!
Our National Bible Week Poster has several links (and you can print and distribute the poster -- being in Portland, I have some extras if you want them). One of the links is to my exhaustive Cliff's Big List of Bible Passages.
Other sources are the books, "The X-Rated Bible" and "The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy" -- both of which are excellent, though the "Encyclopedia" must be taken with salt, at times.

This thing is great! I'm very glad it has become so popular: this is just the message we need to exhibit the sheer absurdity of the notion of so-called biblical morality. This piece says it all, lucidly, concisely, poetically, and with just the right touch of wry humor to ensure that it spreads widely as a meme (a self-replicating idea, such as a catchy song lyric, pronounced "meem").
We were probably the first print publication to carry this (though the one you sent is edited slightly from the original). I got it moments before I was scheduled to send the file to the printer, so I quickly deleted another item and squeaked it in. We received it in the e-mail within a day of our May issue being printed and mailed.
Days later, "Dear Dr. Laura" hit the big time, including most of the humor lists I subscribe to, Michael Shermer's Skeptics Society list, and finally the Dr. Dean Edell radio program. I'm sureit has since enjoyed larger audiences than even Dr. Edell, and I promise you that it has completely saturated the gay and lesbian subcultures by now. There is even a sequel, though it is much more of a "one-trick pony" than the original. Both now live on our website.
Last month, when the Modesto (California) Bee did a large feature on "Positive Atheism" magazine in their religion section, they pulled the Dr. Laura bit from our website and used it as a sidebar. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect circle of completion or a more perfect piece than "Dear Dr. Laura" to express our views on the myth that the Bible has anything good to say about morality.
The anonymous piece immediately reminded me of Thomas Paine's anonymous pamphlet series, "Common Sense," which took off so wildly that within seven months the American Colonies had declared the Revolutionary War. "Dear Dr. Laura" has taken off just as wildly, and it cannot have received the publicity it has without causing more than a few to start questioning the notion of biblical morality. We can only hope that the real message behind "Dear Dr. Laura" sinks in to the public mind set, but this anonymous author rightly earns hero status in our book.

FAIRBORN — Wadsworth outside hitter Peyton Booth added to her list of awards Thursday as she was named third-team All-Ohio in voting by the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association.
The 5-foot-9 senior tri-captain led the Grizzlies to their fourth straight Suburban League championship and their second consecutive Barberton Division I District title.
A fierce competitor, Booth elevated her game as the matches got bigger and averaged 13.0 kills over Wadsworth's final 10 contests. That figure included a team season-high, 21-kill performance on Oct. 10 at Revere, where the Grizzlies extended their SL unbeaten streak to 57.
Booth also finished third in voting for the district player of the year award, which includes all schools in Medina, Lorain, Portage and Summit Counties.
Walsh Jesuit senior setter — and Brunswick resident — Kyra Coundourides won the honor, while Elyria senior middle hitter Alexis Middlebrooks was second in the balloting.
Joining Booth on the All-District first team in Division I was Grizzlies senior middle hitter Ciera Koons, while Wadsworth sophomore outside hitter Jodi Johnson earned second-team status.
Highland junior middle hitter Mallory Adams, Medina senior outside hitter Ksenia Klue, Cloverleaf senior libero Jessie Lindemeyer, and Highland senior libero Paige Tanzer were honorable mention.
Black River senior setter Emily Cartwright and junior middle hitter Danielle Jenkins were first-team choices in Division III, while junior libero Jamie Hozan gained a second-team spot.
In Division II, Buckeye sophomore setter Katie Galaszewski and junior libero Emily Vozar earned honorable mention recognition. Galaszewski finished one vote shy of being placed on the second team.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Hannah Prigge opened competition at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships with an impressive eighth-place showing in the 1-Meter Springboard competition on Thursday at the Cadet Natatorium in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Prigge recorded a score of 545.65 to get to the eighth-place finish, which came against a field of 61 divers. She was in ninth after scoring 272.10 points in the preliminary rounds. Her 273.55 bumped her up a spot to her final place in the standings.
"She did fantastic," Fresno State diving coach Taryn Patrick said. "She bobbled a little on her first dive, but fought back all the way to the end. I am so proud of her."
USC's Haley Ishimatsu won the event with a score of 580.20. Prigge had the highest finish out of the three Mountain West divers that advanced to the finals. Boise State's Cierra Cortney finished 10th and New Mexico's Megan Harper finished 15th.
The senior will be back in action on Friday when she competes in the 3-Meter Springboard event.

I am an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University in the College of Computer and Information Science. I received my PhD from UCSB working under Ben Y. Zhao.
My research interests include auditing algorithms, security and privacy, and online social networks. Much of my work focuses on using measured data to analyze and understand complex phenomenon on the Web. In many cases, I have leveraged the knowledge gained from measurements of the Web to build systems that improve security, privacy, and transparency for users.
As a new professor, I am actively recruiting new students. If you are interested in auditing algorithms, personalization algorithms, online tracking and privacy, or security on the Web, read the prospective students section of my webpage, and then send me an email.
Current Projects
- Auditing Algorithms: In recent years, there has been growing awareness of and concern about powerful algorithms that mediate information on the Web. For example, Google Search and Facebook both personalize the information shown to each user, while e-commerce sites leverage purchase history to drive advertisements and product recommendations. These algorithms can lead directly to harmful outcomes, such as politically-polarizing "echo chambers", Filter Bubbles, price discrimination by e-commerce sites against consumers, and even racial discrimination.
In our work, we are focused on auditing algorithms: we use carefully controlled experiments to understand the data and algorithms used by companies, and assess the impact of these algorithms on normal people. Examples of our work include personalization on Google Search, price discrimination on major e-commerce sites, and Uber's surge price algorithm. Our ultimate goals are to make algorithmic systems more transparent to the public, and to develop tools that help users avoid unwanted or harmful systems. We are also actively collaborating with regulators like the European Commission to turn our research findings into practical policy outcomes.
- Understanding Online and Offline Tracking:Tracking is ubiquitous on the Web today, and yet we have only the most basic understanding of who collects data about us, and how this data is shared with third-parties. We are currently engaged in several projects that are delving inside the tracking ecosystem to answer these questions, including looking at how information collected about consumers in the offline world gets moved into online contexts. Based on our findings, we plan to empower users with tools to help protect their privacy.
- Improving the SSL/TLS Ecosystem:The SSL/TLS protocol is a critical element of online security that protects everything from online banking to e-commerce to health records. However, recent events like the Heartbleed vulnerability have demonstrated that SSL/TLS is vulnerable to both software and human-induced failures. We are working with researchers at University of Maryland, Duke, and Stanford to understand the threats to SSL/TLS on the modern Web, and develop novel systems to address these challenges. Our work on SSL/TLS has appeared at IMC 2014 and IMC 2015.

DEKALB, Ill. -
This summer NIU women's soccer senior Mo Smunt had a unique opportunity to go on a mission trip to Chile with her Charlotte Lady Eagles W-League Team. With support from family and friends, Smunt and the Lady Eagles were able to raise money to be able to go on a 10-day mission trip to Chile. From May 24- June 2, the Lady Eagles were not only able to play soccer compete against teams from South America in beautiful stadiums, but were also able to host soccer clinics and build relationships with children of missionary families in Chile.
"It was a blessing to be there," Smunt said. "It was amazing to reach out to the community, and to see how happy they were to just have us there. It made me so thankful for what I have, and the opportunities I was given. The kids didn't have as much, as far material possessions, as we have in the U.S., but they had soccer and the love of the game. And it just goes to show that with soccer, money doesn't matter, as long as you are able to do what you love."
With her Charlotte team, the Huskie defender participated in soccer clinics through which she helped teach soccer skills to youth in Chile. At the clinics, members of the Lady Eagles also shared testimonies about their varying soccer experiences with one another and the children. Throughout the clinic, the team was also able to talk, share stories, and build relationships.
"I really enjoyed the clinics," Smunt said. "At times there was a little bit of a language barrier, but everyone was able to play soccer, so it was very easy to find a common ground despite the different languages. It was amazing to see everyone come together through the game of soccer. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to experience that."
While abroad, Smunt and the Lady Eagles also played in four competitions. The Lady Eagles faced the Universidad de Las Americas, Santiago Morning, Universidad Catolica, and the Coquimbo All-Star team.
Smunt was lucky enough to join with people from across the United States in her missionary trip to Chile. Players and staff came together from a multitude of different cities and states to reach out to youth in Chile through soccer. Travelling with about half of her Charlotte Lady Eagles team, Smunt was also joined by members of the W-League staff.
"People came together from all over the U.S." Smunt said. "I formed relationships with these people that I know will last for a lifetime. We bonded through the clinics and through competition and it is amazing how close we became in just ten days."
While Smunt and the Lady Eagles spent the majority of their time on the soccer field, they were able to take a break to experience the local culture. Within Chile, Smunt traveled to both La Serena and Santiago and was able to explore and experience Chile outside of the game of soccer.
Smunt will continue to play with the W-League Charlotte Lady Eagles this summer, before returning to DeKalb for her senior season with the Huskies. Smunt and the Huskies will kick off their 2010 schedule on Aug. 15 when they travel to Milwaukee, Wis. for their season opener.

Xenix: The Microsoft Unix That Once Was
One would not normally associate Microsoft with Unix. While Microsoft's interest(s) in Unix may remain minimal in recent times, history tells a very different story.
Let us take a quick journey down memory lane, back to the late 1970′s and into the early-mid 80′s. In 1979, Microsoft formed an agreement with AT&T Corporation to license Unix from AT&T. And then Microsoft licensed out its renamed Unix to OEM vendors, including Intel, Tandy and SCO. Those companies then ported it to their own hardware architectures and requirements.
Microsoft was hit by a legal problem of the "UNIX" name not being able to be used.

Giving Linux and LibreOffice a Try for Your Home Office
Running your home office on a tight budget? There's a way to get all of your software—operating system (OS), productivity suite, scores of applications—completely free. It'll cost you, but not in the way you might think. This life-changing alternative is Linux, which gives you more flexibility, more have-it-your-way customization, and more control than Windows or OS X users could ever dream of. I caution that it'll cost you because it's decidedly not for everyone. While it's far friendlier today than it was a year or even six months ago, Linux still requires you to invest, nay, enjoy some time spent setting up and tinkering with your PC.

Unrequited Microsoft, Red Hat in the Way, LinDoz
Christine Hall penned an opt-ed today saying that she remembers Microsoft's dirty tactics, tactics they still employ while professing love for Linux. The media can fawn all they want, but Hall will never trust them. Elsewhere, Jack Germain said LinDoz is a "smooth Windows-Cinnamon blend" and Jamie Watson had nice things to say about KaOS 2016.06.

Astronomer Phil Plait first made a name for himself on the internet by tearing apart the bad science underpinning movies like Armageddon. On his site, Bad Astronomy, Plait moved from scientific film critic to published author and full-fledged science advocate, bringing the internet a much-needed dose of critical thinking as well as always fascinating astronomy news.
Now Plait is set to make a splash on television as The Discovery Channel presents Bad Universe.
Today Plait announced the news on his blog.
I've been working with the Discovery Channel on hosting a new TV science show called "Phil Plait's Bad Universe". It's a three-part program where I dissect issues in astronomy and science, putting claims to the test. There's no air date yet, but I'm hoping it'll be on your TV sets this fall.
As you can see in the trailer, the first episode is about asteroid impacts, and we tackle the issue in a way that I don't think has been done on TV. I get right into the mix, blowing things up, flying in a jet, going where the action is so that I can participate in experiments with scientists and try to find out what works and what doesn't. The idea here is not to have some dry, narrated documentary. Instead I will show you what's going on, take you along, so that you can see how these things work and what we're doing to investigate these issues.
Plait is a fantastic writer and engaging personality. Look for this to be the most fun you've had watching a science show.

The prosecution says he was "pre-occupied with his sexual fulfilment", but his defence says women "went with him or to him".
15:07, UK, Tuesday 13 May 2014
Former broadcaster Stuart Hall has been described as an accomplished sexual predator who set out to groom his young rape victims.
Summing up in Hall's trial, prosecutor Peter Wright QC criticised the defendant's decision not to go into the witness box to give his own account in court.
Mr Wright said Hall was "a man who cares not what they (his alleged victims) feel or whether they are in a position to object or resist ... a man prepared to use any pretext to isolate and then abuse his victims. Little wonder he did not give evidence."
The barrister went on to say the former television presenter was "a man whose pre-occupation is with his own sexual fulfilment at whatever cost to his victims. The consent of his victims was not high up on his agenda in fact it did not even feature."
The defendant shook his head in the dock and mouthed the word "no" as the prosecutor addressed the Preston Crown Court jury.
Hall's barrister Crispin Alyett QC opened his closing speech by saying: "I am going to play my Joker" - a reference to the BBC television programme It's A Knockout, once presented by the defendant.
Mr Alyett told the jury: "Listening to Mr. Wright you might think (Stuart Hall) was on trial for not going into the witness box".
He said: "He was not creeping along corridors to their bedrooms. They either went with him or to him."
The defence barrister concluded by saying that if Stuart Hall had spoken in court: "This drowning man might have asked rhetorically: 'When does prosecution become persecution'."
The judge is expected to begin his summing up on Wednesday.
Stuart Hall denies 15 historical charges of rape and five of indecent assault relating to two girls. He admits one charge of indecent assault.
The trial continues.

Landover Baptist On Your
Goofy Guide To Religion

Hi Cliff -
I was perusing your page at
and I wasn't sure what you meant by your statement at the top of the page ("Rest assured no hidden jokes were placed in this list."). If you mean that all of the following links were to seriously-meant religious sites, I must point out your mistake. If I read your statement the wrong way, please accept my apology in advance. This site may fall under your category of "a complicated joke dressed up as religion," but I wanted to let you know that the Landover Baptist Church
is fully and entirely a satire site. Biting and right on the money, but a satire nonetheless. If you need confirmation, please see their page
I just wanted to let you know that you might want to reevaluate including that site with your goofy religions -- I hate to see a site which is otherwise doing good work undermine itself by publishing misleading information.
From: Positive Atheism <email@example.com>

The "no hidden jokes" bit is derived from the introduction to one of occultist Aleister Crowley's books (The Book of Lies). The publishing date on the Title Page is alleged by some to be a lie.
I put this bit there solely to get people scratching their heads, and to alert that small percentage of readers that I am, at minimum, vaguely aware of Crowley's works -- which will, in turn, get a few Crowley fans scratching their heads, too!
As for Landover, I thought so, although I wasn't too sure at first. But then, so are all the Discordian sites I have listed. Truth is, I sometimes cannot tell if the Roman Catholic Church is a cruel joke disguised as a religion -- or vice versa.
I think I originally stumbled upon the "Right to Discriminate" page through a search engine, if I remember correctly. However, I fail to see how including this link undermines the integrity of our site. Thus, after reviewing their site more thoroughly, I have copied the link and pasted it into our "And" Index and listed it as a parody. This way, more people might see it.
(And to think that people actually read our "Goofy Guide to Religion" index!)

Arun Taneja's cloud tips: Wrangling the benefits out of cloud storage
Cloud storage can be a difficult beast to wrangle. Whether you're contemplating which applications to move into the cloud, or just trying to understand how to select and deal with a cloud storage provider, making a decision about a cloud storage solution for your business environment isn't an easy process.
In the first two articles in his cloud tips series, Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst at Hopkinton, Mass.-based Taneja Group, explains how to avoid vendor lock-in and the benefits of incorporating the cloud into your disaster recovery (DR) strategy. In his third and fourth tips on working in the cloud, Taneja helps readers understand the ins and outs of cloud storage gateways, and lists the best (and worst) applications to place into the cloud.
Three approaches to hybrid cloud technology
The never-ending cloud marketing chatter continues to obscure the distinctions between traditional storage systems and public, private and hybrid cloud storage technology. This confusion is common in any tech market when a paradigm shift takes place. Muddying the waters gives established vendors time to acquire successful startups or develop their own technology to meet the new demand.
This SearchCloudStorage.com three-part expert video tip series, by Dragon Slayer Consulting founder and senior analyst Marc Staimer, explores ways to implement hybrid cloud technology, and the pros and cons associated with each approach. Why a hybrid cloud? Because it provides immediate cloud storage benefits while increasing performance, local control, manageability and flexibility.
Cloud storage delivers functionality and capabilities designed to solve demanding storage problems such as:
- Simplifying massive amounts of passive data from dozens of petabytes to exabytes, and even zetabytes and trillions of files/objects in a single storage container.
- Scaling access and performance that maintains a lockstep with capacity growth.
- Taking distributed geographic locations out of the planning picture while maintaining geographic awareness.
- Ensuring stored data is highly resilient and self-healing, with enduring persistence for years, decades and even centuries.
- Enabling multiple tenants privately and securely.
- Empowering user self-service and policy-based capacity/performance on demand.
- Changing the way storage is bought and paid for by charging only for the actual storage used in arrears versus charging upfront for all the storage system's unused raw storage.
- Ending disruptive technology refreshes and data migration.
Public cloud storage is offered by cloud service providers. Data is kept off site in a service provider's data center or in multiple data centers in various locations on a pay-per-stored-gigabyte basis. Public cloud storage is a perfect remote repository for passive or distributed data with infrequent user access.
But public cloud storage comes with performance issues. The biggest problem is the latency involved in moving data to and from a service provider's storage cloud. While private cloud storage solves the distance latency issue, it's limited to private data centers and/or infrastructure-as-a-service supplier data centers if utilized. That's where hybrid cloud storage enters into play. Hybrid cloud storage technology combines the best of private and public clouds by delivering local performance, plus all the benefits of public cloud storage.
Read Staimer's three-part tip series to find out how to implement hybrid cloud technology in your own organization.
How-to guide: Object storage system implementation
Object storage systems have become a recognized alternative to file- and block-based systems, especially for public and private cloud storage infrastructures. Traditional file systems suffer from limited scalability and metadata due to their hierarchical structures, slowing performance and making tasks like data protection and capacity optimization more difficult. Object storage relieves both of these problems, providing enough metadata to ease security, optimization and data resiliency processes, while offering an indexed file structure that's ideal for unstructured data and allows files to be dispersed over wide geographic areas with a minimized effect on performance.
While the advantages of using an object storage system instead of a traditional file system may be clear, the many details of successfully implementing this technology are not. The way object storage deals with protocols and metadata -- plus its lack of standards -- can create a learning curve for those unfamiliar with the technology. The following SearchCloudStorage.com object storage guide is designed to keep data storage administrators informed of the advantages, disadvantages and new product offerings surrounding object storage.
Cloud planning guide
More and more organizations are implementing some form of cloud data storage into their environment. Results from Storage magazine's fall 2012 storage Purchasing Intentions survey finds 29% of respondents use cloud storage services for non-backup applications. According to Storage Media Group editorial director Rich Castagna, who crunched the numbers from that survey, that's approximately double the number of organizations reporting cloud storage use back in 2010.
When asked about their cloud planning priorities, data backup topped respondents' lists. Collaboration/file sharing, disaster recovery, primary storage and data archiving rounded out the list of ways that users plan to interact with the cloud.
For data storage managers faced with questions around cloud storage, this cloud planning guide highlights the "must-know" information surrounding the technology. What's the best cloud data storage option for your environment? What questions does a cloud storage provider need to answer and what guarantees do you need from a service-level agreement before you sign on the dotted line? What differentiates cloud storage pricing from traditional data storage pricing? Do you need to perform backup and recovery now that your data is in the cloud? Can you keep everything in the "limitless" cloud or should you have a cloud-based storage policy? All these questions and more will be answered in this cloud storage implementation planning guide.
A guide to online file-sharing services
Whether IT teams like it or not, employees at many companies are using online file sharing to collaborate with colleagues while working with data stored on devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones. The good news for users is that online file-sharing services make it easier for them to share information from anywhere. The bad news for IT teams is that they're losing control of data because much of it is stored on unsupported devices. While some large companies have banned online file sharing, many more are trying to develop a strategy around online file-sharing services that keeps both IT and users happy and productive.
This guide presents numerous use cases and analyst perspectives that TechTarget has collected over the last few years to create a one-stop resource for investigating the impact online file-sharing services could have on your data center.

It Sure Is Food Week at the Fox Is Black
For those who dare to make motorcycle helmets out of watermelons.
Design site the Fox Is Black trains its stealthy sights on food this week. Predictably, there are a lot of pretty pictures and mind-blowing concepts therein. Behold a dozen Pantone-hued fruit tarts; a stop-motion mandala made from whole grains, peanuts, and kale; or marshmallows and carrot rounds dangling from mobiles. There's also a handbag made of broccoli florets. [Fox Is Black]

1) The elevations shown above are "as designed." After the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrak), many mountings were modified to increase their maximum elevations to +22 or +25 degrees. Some MPL C/13 were modified to allow +22 degrees and this increased the total weight to 40,454 lbs. (18,350 kg). Late in the war, some light cruisers may have been modified to increase elevation to +30 degrees and these were probably the mountings that were used on the Merchant Raiders of World War II.
2) British postwar examination of Baden found that the German ammunition supply for secondary guns was superior to their own. Baden had a dredger hoist for each gun running directly from the magazine to the casemate carrying both projectile and charge. Projectile fuzes were protected by a leather cap during the hoist. Dredger hoists were equipped with sliding anti-flash doors and an external waiting tray. Hoists were powered by electric motors at the top of the hoist, presumably to eliminate a fire hazard in the magazines. Baden was equipped with five combined magazines and shell rooms on each side. The British also commented favorably on the MPL mountings having +19 degree elevations, considerably more than those on British capital ships. The British determined that the flash protection for the casemates on Baden to be much improved over those for earlier German ships.
3) Emden was rearmed with 15 cm/48 SK C/36 guns in 1942.
4) Crew was nominally eight men: Elevation, Training, Range Setter, Deflection Setter, First Loader, Second Loader, Rammer man and Breech worker.

Selena Gomez Visits Emergency Room For Possible Strep Throat
Selena Gomez is having a rough couple of days.
In the midst of all of her relationship drama with Justin Bieber, the singer-actress visited the emergency room at an L.A. hospital on Monday to be tested for strep throat, Gossip Cop confirms.
Gomez had been suffering from a sore throat on Sunday, and presumably didn't get much rest as she was spotted out at an American Music Awards after-party with Bieber that night.
Gossip Cop is told she was tested for strep, and is feeling better now.
In June 2011, Gomez hospitalized for malnourishment and exhaustion after an appearance on the "Tonight Show."

John Lennon didn't invent rock and roll, nor did he embody it as toweringly as figures like Elvis Presley and Little Richard, but he did more than anyone else to shake it up, move it forward and instill it with a conscience. As the most daring and outspoken of the four Beatles, he helped shape the agenda of the Sixties—socially and politically, no less than musically. As a solo artist, he made music that alternately disturbed and soothed, provoked and sought community. As a human being, he served as an exemplar of honesty in his art and life. As Rolling Stone editor and publisher Jann Wenner wrote in the foreword to a collection of writings entitled The Ballad of John and Yoko, "Of the many things that will be long remembered about John Lennon – his genius as a musician and singer, his wit and literary swiftness, his social intuition and leadership – among the most haunting was the stark, unembarrassed commitment of his life, his work and his undernourished frame to truth, to peace and to humanity."
The exhibition, John Lennon: His Life and Work, was timed to coincide with what would have been John Lennon's 60th birthday, as well as the 20th anniversary of his death. Put together with the full involvement of his estate, this was the single biggest exhibit of Lennon artifacts ever exhibited anywhere in the world. It included numerous guitars and famous outfits. It also included paintings, drawings, collages and other artwork. Most notably, however, were the displays featuring roughly 30 original lyric manuscripts.
This exhibit was made possible through the generous support of Enterasys Networks.
John Lennon Exhibition Opening Party
October 19, 2000
"John, the singer-songwriter in him, would have been especially pleased that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is doing this as a tribute," said Yoko Ono. "It's an honor he would have accepted with joy."
Yoko was in Cleveland on October 19 for the opening of John Lennon: His Life and Work. In addition to meeting with the press, Yoko kicked off the opening-night party with a primal scream. "I just had to clear my throat," she told the crowd of 1,200 people. "I think John would have been very very pleased that you're giving such a classy show here."
After Yoko's welcome, Dexter Freebish took the stage. The band – which hails from Austin, Texas – won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest "Maxell Song of the Year" in 1999. Their song "Leaving Town" beat out 27,000 other entries. Matthew Sweet, an avid John Lennon fan, came on next performing "Ugly Truth," "Girlfriend" and "Sick of Myself," as well as Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth." Alan White, the original drummer from the Plastic Ono Band, as well as Yes, joined Sweet and his band on stage.
The most surprising performance of the evening was by Cyndi Lauper. Accompanying herself on the dulcimer, she did breath-taking renditions of "Imagine," "God" and "Working Class Hero." "When I was nine-and-a-half I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. When the screaming stopped, I heard this really wonderful voice and it was John Lennon's," she said. Lauper shared with the audience a dream she once had where she was brushing her teeth next to Lennon. "I don't know what it means," she said. "But it was deep, OK?"
To close the evening, Billy Preston, who frequently played keyboards with the Beatles during the late Sixties, performed a medley of "Imagine," "Give Peace a Chance," "Let It Be" and "All You Need Is Love."

Introducing The Law Blog Famous Family Member Fraternity!
Meet Marty Holmes and Marty Holmes, Jr., partners at Shindler, Neff, Holmes, Schlageter & Mohler in Toledo, Ohio. They are also, respectively, the father and brother of actress Katie Holmes, whose fame (and magazine-cover appearances) has spiked since becoming the wife Tom Cruise and mother of the adorable Suri.
We've liked Katie Holmes ever since she burst on the scene in "Dawson's Creek." We also think she should be recognized more for her work than for whom she chose to marry. If you don't believe us, check out "The Gift," a taut thriller starring her, Cate Blanchett and Keanu Reeves.
Marty Holmes, Jr., also happens to be the Law Blog's college classmate. We caught up with him earlier today and, alas, he neither reads the Law Blog nor remembered us. We remember him, mainly because he played football and we were big fans. After graduating from Harvard, Holmes returned to his hometown, earning his JD from Toledo Law.
While Holmes said he was gratified by the Law Blog's attention, he and his dad did not want to discuss anything related to TomKat, a position we respect. But he was happy to tell us a bit about his firm's practice. With 20 lawyers, Shindler Neff is an old-line general practice Toledo firm. Holmes, Jr., focuses on personal injury work; his dad specializes in family law.
Introducing…The Law Blog Famous Family Member Fraternity: Marty Holmes and Marty Holmes, Jr., are charter members of our latest club, though we probably could have kicked this party off last year when we found out that dreamy Fall Out Boy singer Pete Wentz's pops is the former Helene Curtis GC and a current exec at APCO Worldwide. Anyway, we know there are lots of faceless lawyers out there billing by the hour while their boldfaced-named relatives lead the glamorous life. Please nominate some of them into the The Law Blog Famous Family Member Fraternity.
