MILLTOWN – St. Georges Tech competed in its first-ever Blue Hen Conference basketball championship and walked out of St. Mark's High School with the title following a 55-47 win over Newark on Saturday afternoon.
Spectators were on their feet much of the afternoon to watch the hard-fought, back-and-forth contest. The game started out with the teams trading baskets and Newark leading, 11-10 after one quarter. Senior Jashun Greer scored nine of those points. The Yellow Jackets extended the lead to 19-16 during the next quarter, thanks to a pair of three-pointers, but the Hawks responded with an 11-2 run and led, 27-21, at halftime.
St. Georges (18-3) continued its hot play into the third, scoring seven of the first nine points to increase the advantage to 11 at 34-23. But Newark (13-8) turned on the press and forced some turnovers. An 8-0 run by the Yellow Jackets cut the lead to three, and a few minutes later they got to within a point, 38-37, which was the score heading into the final eight minutes.
A quick three-pointer by Newark sophomore Brendan Sherman shot Newark into the lead, but St. Georges sophomore Lamar Hamrick answered with one of his own. Hamrick's basket started a 9-0 Hawks run – seven of which he scored – and when it was over, St. Georges was in front, 47-40. But the Yellow Jackets would not go away, responding with seven of the next eight points, including a Greer free throw that brought Newark to within one at 48-47.
Senior Zaire Jacobs-Beazer provided some breathing room for St. Georges with a field goal with a little more than a minute left, and the Hawks hit their free throws in the final minute to ice it.
Hamrick led the Hawks with 23 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, while Jacobs-Beazer added 13. Greer finished with 16 to pace the Yellow Jackets, but only four came after halftime.
Both teams open play in the state tournament at home on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The 10th seed, St. Georges hosts No. 23 Wilmington Charter, while Newark, the 11th seed, takes on No. 22 Laurel. The Hawks defeated Charter, 47-34, on Jan. 23.
Tickets for the first round are $5. Call the schools for availability.

Your doctor may evaluate possible prostate problems with an annual physical and a digital rectal exam or a test for prostate-specific antigen.
A prostate biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed with a special needle to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
A sonogram uses ultrasound technology to allow quick visualization of the prostate and related structures from outside the body. It may be used to examine the prostate gland for evidence of cancer.
When prostate cancer is diagnosed, tests are performed to determine how much cancer is present, and if the cancer has spread from the prostate to other parts of the body.
The cancer grading system is based on a number range. The lower the number, the lower the grade, and the slower the cancer is growing.

Vdbench multi-host testing and thread count
By Henk Vandenbergh-Oracle on Aug 02, 2011
When running Vdbench in multi-host mode make sure that you specify at least one thread for each host. If you don't, all the remote hosts will start, but some of them will not have any work to do. 16 hosts with (default) 8 threads for an SD will only have 8 hosts active. Use either the sd=xxx,threads= or the rd=xxx,threads= parameter. (I have not figured out how to start half threads :-)

In 2007 the International Association of Constitutional Law established an Interest Group on 'The Use of Foreign Precedents by Constitutional Judges' to conduct a survey of the use of foreign precedents by Supreme and Constitutional Courts in deciding constitutional cases. Its purpose was to determine - through empirical analysis employing both quantitative and qualitative indicators - the extent to which foreign case law is cited. The survey aimed to test the reliability of studies describing and reporting instances of transjudicial communication between Courts. The research also provides useful insights into the extent to which a progressive constitutional convergence may be taking place between common law and civil law traditions. The present work includes studies by scholars from African, American, Asian, European, Latin American and Oceania countries, representing jurisdictions belonging to both common law and civil law traditions, and countries employing both centralised and decentralised systems of judicial review. The results, published here for the first time, give us the best evidence yet of the existence and limits of a transnational constitutional communication between courts.

What disappointed you in SP? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
i do not want this topic to talk about anything technical, such as bugs and/or glitches in the game that can be fixed. instead, i want to discuss various aspects of the storyline that didn't quite 'feel right', elements you had hoped would be in the game, that sort of thing.
it's a great game, and i don't think anyone here who has played it will be bashing the SP campaign in any major way, but there's always room for improvement in anything.
for me, it was ...
what, if anything, disappointed you?
I disliked a few things:
I also didn't understand why the regular clone troopers were made so weak.
About Trandos on the RAS:
About Clone Troopers:
Content wise I liked it. What did get me was the idea that every 10 feet there seemed to be another bacta terminal.
Sure I used them alot, because you seemed to take quite alot of hits that break your shields. I know they couldn't flat out copy Halo, but a higher shields capacity, less frequent placement of bacta and limited bacta supplies might have made the game feel a little more tense. Kinda like how the weapon/shield terminals in Jedi Knight games had limited charges.
Perhaps its just my preference, but I kinda wished the default rifle hit harder and fired slower. And had a red energy trail. Guess I'll have to wait until mod tools come out.
The whole mechanics of standing in front of a bacta vending machine and letting it glow on ya to heal you, struck an odd chord with me, but not game breaking. Same with revival by pulling out a battery pack defribirilator and zapping your buddy (or getting zapped yerself) in the noggin.
Otherwise a nice game. Nice music, good atmosphere, humor, action, and only a little frustration.
And what about droid dispensers being in closed rooms? How the heck did they get in there? Same goes for those tanklike creatures on Kashyyyk.
As far as that, I liked the game. Only, it was soo lineair. You couldnt even take another route or tactic. The only choice you had was between hacking the door or blowing it up.
Hmmmm...let me see...I think SP was near perfect, I guess I was disappointed with MP mostly...for example, in JA all the models used in SP are brought over to MP, from Jaden to Boba Fett. So why is it that RC, having used models such as the Geonosian Elite, Super Battle Droid, Battle Droid, and Geonosian Drone not bring those over to MP?! It would add so much diversity! MP gets old, fast, when it's only Trandos vs. Clones. I mean, come on, in SP we only fought trandos 1/3 of the time!
The first thing that struck me as disappointing were some of the attitudes of the regular Clone Troopers. At first, seeing the two cheer you on in Geonosis and say something about Delta being able to win the war themselves. The clones were created to be remorseless and go into battle fearlessly.. they wouldnt cheer the arrival of 'the cavalry'.
Also on the RAS Prosecutor, you get a CT who mouths off at how perfect you're made. This kind of jealousy is impossible for a regular clone to convey. The Clone Troopers themselves may be human, but their independance is majorly reduced. They are nearly autonomous and wouldnt have feelings like the ones shown here.
They were also made to be very weak which may have been the plan to make the Deltas look superior, but this could have been done in another way. The major battles with other CTs are minor, but I would have enjoyed to see atleast one instance of ranked Clone Troopers giving orders to others etc..
Seeing as they had Temuera Morrison lending his brilliant vocal work to this project, Id have loved to hear more speech from the regular clones too..
In general, when you are involved in open conflict, it should be more widescale than a couple of clones here and there. The termoil should be all around you..
My second gripe is the length of the game. Seeing that planet on the left of the Campaign screen really irrits me!
Not to mention the ending being a real kick in the face!
Only an expansion can make up for the shortness of this excellent title.
The Extras were a welcome afterthought, but that's all they truly were.. a minor addition. I was hoping for an 'actual' Temuera Morrison interview over a promo..
I havent played Multi yet, but the addition of more player models and even having faction teamplay (CIS vs Republic, etc..) would make things interesting. I dislike Gamespy and hope that future LucasArts titles make use of their own inbuilt server browser. RC used the UT engine, so why not use its equally brilliant server browser?
I do hope that the team rolls out a follow up to this or even releases extra missions etc.. support makes a game shine even more.
When I first loaded up the game and landed on Geonosis, I was disappointed to see Clone Troopers whining and getting blown up all over the place, and that they've screwed up the image of the Clone Troopers from AotC. It's not genetically possible to have the whiny/cowardly Clone Troopers that we saw. That kind of selfishness was taken out of their genetic code.
But the two Clone Troopers who cheered you on in the beginning were fine, because of how the jealous trooper on the RAS talks, it sounds like the regular Clone Troopers were taught that "commandos are superior to you." It'd be cool to see some of the deluxe models running along with you in battle.
When I start modding RC, one of the things I plan to do are put some usefulness back into the Clone Troopers. Modify their lines so they don't sound whiny or cowardly, take their embarassing screams out, and make them not so weak.
I think like grunts or a yell would be WAY better than a scream.
TK - I agree with you completely. I am all for the modding for more 'realistic' CTs.
In regards to the other Clones commenting on what you and your team are; I suppose it wouldnt be out of the question seeing as; by the time Episode II I rolls on, we can see all sorts of custom armour work which signifies personality, however limited.
Do you refer to witnessing other Commandos in battle? Yeah, it could be expanded on to include a mission of perhaps aiding another elite unit. Either a lone (possibly injured) ARC (* drools! *), or another Commando pod. It would be impressive to see two teams working simultaneously to take out an overwhelming objective. Now that would be conflict!
Im sorry Shinok, but yes, I failed to convey that what I class as 'open conflict' mainly concerned Geonosis. It just didnt feel widescale enough.
Ofcourse! The mystery planet is Kamino! That's a perfectly obvious explanation. :)
My only qualms with the SP were the times where you were alone. After learning to use the squad and get used to it, not having "the guys" around really didn't jive well for me.
Yeah, one thing that disturbed me in SP was the over powered SBDS! IT SUCKS! JEDI JUST CHOPPED EM IN HALF! Yet it takes like 10 grenades to kill one!
The DC-17 should've had more stopping power in both regular and sniper. You should also be able to pick up Battle Droid blasters. Then, you could justify not having health and ammo all over the place. In the movies, the DC-15s seemed to be making real short work of the standard droids, you'd figure the '17 being a better weapon would do better.
I actually fear the SBDs more than the Destroyers, and the Destroyers were able to make the Jedi run.
The Campaign was also too short. Its supposed to be a galaxy wide war. I know they don't want to step on stories unfolding in other media, but there's got to be something that only a pod of Commandos can do.
I also felt a bit cheated when it jumped a year from one mission to the next. What happened during that time? I know they want to get us to RoTS but come on, tell the story!
It would've been nice to be able to get CTs to assist a bit like NPCs in Half Life, but its not absolutely necessary.
This might be a n00b question, but I need to know - How did they explain the clones having completely different voices?
What bothers me the most is how people tell me of certain things in the game that i've never been able to find. But that's not the game, it's me.
Another problem of course, was how short it was. We need more missions, We've got a few years of Clone Wars that could be made into missions, and we also went back to Kashyyyk at the end, so I don't see why it had to end there.
Well Boba ends up sounding like Jango YEARS AND YEARS later, and the Clones in AotC sound like Jango. But it could be due to what they specelize in, what enviroment they wee hatched in, etc.. And there can always be defective parts of the cloneing process: That being voice.
But the commandos could very well have wanted to individualize themselves, hence their own personal design on their armor, and all but Boss would adopt their own accent. The Clone Troopers in the game don't sound like Jango because the devs probably wouldn't want the wimpy guys sounding like Boss.
The game was except for the damn SBD's. Way too overpowered like everyone else said. I mean they can take you down in a few shots.
I have to agree with everyone. The clones are just too damn whiny and weak. The Movies made them look like 1 Clone to every 5 SBD. But the game is just going too far when SBD's blow the hell outta us with a few shots.
Yeah, the clone "soldiers" sound like sassy girls. Looks like they confused the baddass clone army for the "Little Pony" fans and put them an armor.:p
I guess they were trrying to make You feel almighter and powerful if they cried and you wernt. But thats no excuse for their whining and cowardous. Jeez I sure hope they dont make a gam where we are the regular clone sitting with our hands on our ass and doing nothing what so ever.
Yeah I believe its ARC that were trained by Jango. But yeah the RC's were said to be trained by someone else. It even says in "Boss" 's profile that his trainer was someone else.
From the way the prime minister of Kamino (his name escapes me) was talking to Obi, it sounded like Jango was kept on Kamino to oversee the training of the clones. Jango's line "they'll do their job well" sounds like he's satisfied with how their training has gone, which means he has had to see some of them. He was on Kamino for ten years before his demise after all.
Ah Walon Vau. Aperantly all the Commandos were trained by him and him alone. He is only 2nd best to Jango I hear.
they Really need to toughen the clones up. Improve the DC-17, there are plenty of things. Adding Boss's skin would be good too.
Oh... more heavy weapons!
BUT WHY!?! They all need to be nerfed as it is:p .
Besides the regular clones, they need about X amount of upgrades before they are even going to be presentable. I think that the DC-17 really needs to have more stopping power. I end up using Any other weapons I do find because there is choke amount ammo around and has a faster firing rate then the DC-17! Either more stopping power, or more ammo in the clip or even better more clips!
I didn't like the way it ended, leaving that tropper behind and i thourght it was a bit easy i was like thats the ending no more.
I can't help it, the game seems extremly boring to me.
It's proabably cause I never liked the unreal series. It was like playing an ut mod.
It's the worst lucasarts fps I've played so far and it isn't worth the money.
Dont humor him. Just ignore him and let him boil in his own stupidity.
You're just annoyed you didn't join "The Dark Side" after killing loads of Trandoshans, nor did you get a red lightsabre.
Actually, always wondered where Force Destruction and Deadly Sight went to in the Jedi Knight series.

The WHL is one win away from capturing their first ever Hershey Cup All-star Series title. In Hull, Quebec last week the WHL's Eastern Conference skated to a 5-2 win over the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Lebel Conference to take a two point lead in the standing. The third and final game of the Hershey Cup will take place in Kitchener, Ontario on November 27 with the OHL Western Conference hosting the QMJHL Dilio Conference. The QMJHL won the 2001 Hershey Cup while last season it was the OHL that finished first in the three game series.
Home ice has not been used as an advantage in the Hershey Cup as visiting teams have won the last five games. The last win by a home team was on January 24, 2001 in Guelph, Ontario as the OHL Western Conference defeated the WHL Eastern Conference 5-2. Should tonight's game end in a tie a shoot out to determine the winner will take place. The first round will have each team select five shooters and should the game remain tied at that point the shootout will continue in a one on one basis in a sudden death format.
The WHL Western Conference squad gave the WHL their first Hershey Cup win last February when they defeated the QMJHL Dilio Conference by a margin of 9-4. Six players from last year's team return for the Western Conference All-stars. The goaltending duo of Billy Thompson of the Prince George Cougars and the Spokane Chiefs' Barry Brust return from last season as do defencemen Matthew Spillar of the Seattle Thunderbirds and Gerard Dicaire of the defending Memorial Cup champion Kootenay Ice. Up front the returnees from the team that won in Rimouski are Kootenay's Duncan Milroy and the Thunderbirds' Dustin Johner. For Milroy and Dicaire this will be their third appearance in a Hershey Cup game as they join Brett Lutes of the Montreal Rocket as the only players to play in three Hershey Cup games. Johner had a goal and an assist in last year's game.
For the OHL Eastern Conference they will be seeking their first Hershey Cup win. In their previous two games they fell to the QMJHL's Lebel Conference by scores of 8-5 in Montreal in 2001 and 4-2 in Ottawa last January. Andy Chiodo of the Toronto St. Michael's Majors, the Ottawa 67's Brendan Bell, Lukas Krajicek and Eric Staal of the Peterborough Petes, the Oshawa Generals' Brandon Nolan and Patrick O'Sullivan of the Mississauga IceDogs will all play in their second consecutive Hershey Cup game. Jay McClement of the Brampton Battalion played for the OHL's Western Conference team in Red Deer last January where he scored once and added an assist in a 7-2 OHL win.
The OHL Eastern Conference team includes the league's leading scorer in Corey Locke of the Ottawa 67's. In 22 games this season the native of Newmarket, Ontario has recorded 60 points on 25 goals and 35 assists. On Monday Locke was selected as the OHL's Player of the Week for the second week in a row and for the third time this season. Locke was also the CHL Player of the Week for last week and the CHL Player of the Month for October. Nine of the OHL's 12 forwards are in double figures for goals this season including Locke and teammate Matt Foy, with 21 goals, who have both topped the 20-goal mark. From a special team perspective the members of the OHL's Eastern Conference team has scored 61 power play goals and 22 shorthanded goals. Foy and Locke have each scored five shorthanded goals this season while Staal and Matthew Stajan of the Belleville Bulls have scored four shorthanded markers in the 2002 - 2003 season.
In the WHL Western Conference line up are two of the WHL's leading scorers in Erik Christensen of the Kamloops Blazers and Nigel Dawes of the Kootenay Ice. Dawes leads the WHL with 20 goals and has added 15 helpers. Christensen has recorded 41 points on 17 goals and 24 assists. In their line up tonight the WHL team has nine players who have scored ten or more goals. The defensive corps of the WHL also boasts some offensive abilities as they bring a combined total of 25 goals to the game. The roster of the WHL Western Conference has scored a combined total of 84 power play goals this season including 10 from Dawes. Shorthanded the team has a combined total of 14 goals.
Tonight's game will provide fans with an opportunity to see several leading candidates for the team that will represent Canada at the 2003 World Junior Hockey Championships that will be played in Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia in late December and early January. The Hershey Cup All-star Series is part of the evaluation process for the selection of the players that will attend the final selection camp in Halifax in December. From last August's Summer Development Camp Roster seven players will play in tonight's game. Marc Habscheid, Head Coach of the Kelowna Rockets, is the WHL Western Conference Head Coach.
The second game of the 2002 - 2003 Hershey Cup All-star Series will feature twenty-four players that have been drafted by National Hockey League teams. Top prospects for the 2003 NHL Entry Draft include the Peterborough Petes' Eric Staal, Patrick O'Sullivan, the CHL's Rookie of the Year in 2001 - 2002, and Braydon Coburn of the Portland Winter Hawks.
The next game in the Hershey Cup All-star Series is set for November 27 in Kitchener, Ontario with the OHL's Western Conference All-stars hosting the QMJHL's Dilio Conference All-stars.

Diversity has always been a problem for the fashion industry. A lack of different ethnicities on the runway has been a constant issue with big fashion houses. What does it say when designers of colors choose to also use a monochromatic palette…okay let me be frank, a white only campaign or runway show? It is a regular practice for designers of color whether Asian, Indian or Black to present a mostly Caucasian runway model show. Is there a fear of presenting a mostly colored runway show? Will consumers not find the clothes appealing?
Designer Stella Jean has been catching major slack for her recent Fall 2014 collection, which was presented at Milan's Fashion week. Stella Jean, who is half Haitian and half Italian, is known for her vibrant kente and ankara printed separates, mixed with European menswear tailoring. Stella presented a heavily African influenced collection complete with traditional African tribal prints with only three women of color amongst the 30-model runway show. Her Spring 2014 collection had no models of color in the entire 30-piece collection.
In my opinion, Stella Jean consciously markets her clothing to nonblack consumers. Since the clothes are so heavily Afrocentric, the concept is to show consumers that the clothes are wearable for everyone.
There is the concept that women of color are not the target luxury customers so why cater to them by including them in advertisements or in runway shows. Or the erroneous myth that only white models can sell high-end fashions. Either way, these negative overtones are getting too antiquated and tiresome to still be occurring.
Women of color have some of the highest positions. As well, they have the paychecks to spend on high-end fashion styles so why should we be negated and underrepresented? Is a black designer required to use black models to reach a broader market?
I think that all designers should make an effort to diversify their runway shows and campaigns. We live in a world full of beautiful color and fashion is about making statements and starting trends. Why should every runway show and campaign have the same white face?

To this point, most of the inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte made their mark in the NASCAR Sprint/Winston Cup Series, but 2014 inductee Jack Ingram made a name for himself in the Late Model Sportsman -- turned Busch (now-Nationwide) Series. Ingram is one of five men -- joining Tim Flock, Dale Jarrett, Maurice Petty and Fireball Roberts -- who will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday evening. The induction ceremony is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday and will be shown live on FOX Sports 1.
Nicknamed the "Iron Man," Ingram was a three-time Late Model Sportsman national champion heading into the first year of the "modern day" Busch Series in 1982. Ingram won his first Busch Series championship in that first year with seven wins and 23 top-fives on the season. After finishing second to rival Sam Ard the next two seasons, Ingram claimed a second series title in 1985. Chances are, Ingram would have won a third, and second-straight, Busch title, had it not been for a two-race suspension in 1986.
In all, Ingram competed in the Busch Series for nine years. During that time, he finished out seasons outside the top-five in the points standings only twice. He claimed a career total of 31 wins in 275 races. He held the record for most Busch/Nationwide Series wins until Mark Martin took over bragging rights in 1997. Today, Ingram is fifth on the all-time series wins list.
"Jack's record was phenomenal, because he was the driver, crew chief, car owner and chief bottle washer on his team for most of his career," the late Jim Hunter, NASCAR's former Vice President of Communications, once said. "He was a no-nonsense, get-in-your face, hard-nosed, fender-scraping racer who took no prisoners on the track."
Ingram was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998. in 2007, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega, Ala.

Is Your Dad Still a Flight Attendant?
By identity on Jun 11, 2008
"Kids say the darndest things" - Art Linkletter
"Is your dad still a flight attendant?" Michelle asked my son Ryan recently.
An innocent question, but I had to chuckle. I have never been and never want to be a flight attendant. So where in the world did that question come from?
It turns out that when Ryan and Michelle were in first or second grade together, Ryan thought I was a flight attendant and told his classmates as much. Ryan knew I flew extensively, and somehow, in his little boy brain, he conjured up the picture of his dad taking care of people on airplanes.
Apparently I reinforced the myth when later I taught Michelle and Ryan and several of their friends in a Sunday School class. I would sometimes send members of that little class postcards from the more exotic locations I visited. She actually kept those cards, bless her heart!
So now, many years later, Michelle is a beatuful young woman who for years had held onto the mistaken notion of Ryan's dad serving folks drinks in the air.
I hadn't known of Ryan's misception about my career until he told me this story a few days ago. Do you want to know what some of my other kids thought I did for a living?
David thought I just stayed on an airplane all week. He had seen me get on an airplane early in the week and get off the airplane at the end of the week - in those pre 9/11 days when families could accompany fliers to the gate. He just assumed that is where I stayed all week. The concept of getting off the airplane at my destination was a foreign concept.
For Holly, it was simpler. She just thought I went on a lot of vacations. She had only flown somewhere when the family went on a vacation. She just figured Dad got to go on a lot of them.
But perhaps it was Eric who pegged it best. "I want to be a computer guy like my dad," he told his first grade class. "All he does is fly all over the place and to go meetings!"

I'm Giving Up My California Identity
By identity on May 08, 2008
I got a text message this evening from our niece who has lived with us for six months until last week, when she moved into the new home she bought in neighboring Gilbert, Arizona. She was transferred from Southern California to Arizona last year and elected to stay with us while she determined where she really wanted to live. It is great to see Amy, a graduate of Brigham Young University, spread her wings and fly!
In her text message was a new phone number with a familiar 480 prefix. When I called to congratulate her on getting an Arizona phone number, I kidded her, "You took one more step to becoming an Arizona native!
She replied, rather wistfully, "Yes, I guess I'm giving up my California Identity."
A strong part of our sense of personal Identity is often tied to our roots. I am a native of Idaho and tell my kids, who all grew up in Arizona, that "Idaho is the only true state." I haven't lived there since 1976, but I'm still attached through my heart to my boyhood home. Idaho is an integral part of my Identity.
I suppose it will be that way for Amy. Born and raised as a Southern California girl, she is now putting down roots in Arizona. But I'm sure even though physical addresses and phone numbers may change, Southern California will always be a part of Amy's Identity.
By the way ... she bought a house before really experiencing a summer of Arizona "dry heat." Brave girl!

Our son Ryan has been called to serve in the Slovenia/Croatia Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will enter the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, on July 30th to learn the Croatian language and prepare for his work for the next two years. Ryan has just completed his freshman year at Arizona State University and plans to continue his studies there when he returns from his mission.
What a thrill it was for family and friends to gather at our house Thursday evening when he opened the large envelope from Salt Lake City.Yugoslavia: CIA World Fact Book.
The mission headquarters in Slovenia are located Ljubljana, which appears to be a beautiful city.
God bless you, our son! Go forth and serve with honor!

A Tapestry of Miracles - Happy Holidays from the Dixon Family
By identity on Dec 22, 2007
In these days of crass materialism, questionable ethics and dire threats to political and economic stability, I take heart in the magnificence of the human spirit and the grandeur of relationships that link us together. As a holiday wish to all of you, let me share a few lines I penned several years ago, as a wish of hope and joy from the Dixon family.
Like brilliant golden strands
Woven delicately yet boldly
Among more dreary threads
To create a magnificent tapestry,
Our lives converge
In brief but sparkling brightness,
And then intertwine into
Radiant relationships
Borne of common hopes and dreams.
Countless encounters
Of human souls,
Guided by an unseen hand,
Link our lives together,
Creating cascading
Miracles of light,
Illuminating our hearts and minds
Amidst the harshness and the gloom
Of mortal life,
Ever weaving and preparing
The glorious, eternal tapestry
Of humankind.

Happy Holidays from all of the Dixons in Mesa, Arizona.

Blog Evolution
By identity on Dec 08, 2007
From time to time, I try to update my blog to make it more useful or accomodating to changes in the landscape of the participation age. Today's changes were more evolutionary than revolutionary. I increased the overall page width to provide two columns of standard information. The left column is dedicated to working with the blog - primarily subscribing or finding information. The right column provides links to my most significant connections into global social networking fabric. I hope this will help people connect to me more effectively.
I have also made the decision to discontinue the automatic posting of my Del.icio.us bookmarks. First, it made me kind of lazy - using the bookmark/blog feature rather than write real posts. Second, the Del.icio.us posts kind of cluttered the flow of my blog. So, I have provided links directly to my Del.icio.us bookmarks, plus an RSS feed for those who wish to subscribe.
The cloudy photo in the upper left corner is a placeholder for now. What I'd really like is to find or develop a script that would randomly select a photo from one of my Flickr photo sets do display there. I came close today by modifying a Flickr badge script, but the photo sizing was wrong. Does anyone have a solution for this?
What is next? I plan two significant elements:
- Interactive participation in the "Discovering Indentity" wiki hosted at wikis.sun.com.
- A relaunch of the "Whodentity" list I used to maintain.
So, thanks for stopping by. Suggestions are always welcome. Happy blogging!

The Dixon Digest
By identity on Dec 02, 2007
Tonight I launched a family blog, The Dixon Digest, to replace a periodic newsletter of the same name I have published somewhat sporadically over the past few years. The web-page creation process I was using was just a bit too cumbersome, so I graduated to an easier method, using Blogspot.com, where several family members also have blogs.
We'd welcome the visit if you'd care to stop by now and then.

FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State softball team finished the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Tournament with a 5-0 loss to New Mexico State on Saturday afternoon at Bulldog Diamond.
"It's tough to lose," head coach Margie Wright said. "We hit the ball hard, but New Mexico State has been on a great run. We have to look forward to the future."
The future will become clearer on Sunday night when the Bulldogs discover if they will extend their NCAA record to 30 straight national postseason tournament appearances.
ESPNU will broadcast the annual NCAA Softball Tournament Selection Show at 7 p.m. Pacific.
Fresno State (34-17) owns a resume that includes six top 25 wins, a 5-1 record against 2010 Women's College World Series participants and a series of strong showings against the nation's top competition.
New Mexico State (42-15) jumped ahead early with a run in the first, three in the third and a run in the fifth to secure the WAC's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
The Dogs' Haley Gilleland, Courtney Moore and Mackenzie Oakes were selected to the All-Tournament team.
"I'm proud of my team and we worked hard all season," Oakes said.

Lost in the rehashing of Monday's federal byelections was the fact that two of three ridings were retained by the Conservatives.
Midterm elections don't typically bode well for reigning political parties. They are often seen as bellwethers of the ruling party's popularity, viewed as message senders that the electorate isn't liking what it's doing.
What if the ruling party wins, like Monday? Isn't that a statement that voters like what they've been getting from Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his team? That they must be doing something right?
Is it OK to admit that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his team are doing a good job?
Remember the high expectations that accompanied former Liberal Finance Minister Paul Martin when he became Prime Minister? He failed to meet them. Expectations for Harper were low, but from most angles, one could easily agree he's exceeded expectations. Consider:
. Harper was recently named "World Statesman of the Year" by the Appeal of Conscience organization in New York.
. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development gave mostly a passing grade to Canada's economy in its new outlook, released Tuesday.
. In a democratic world where voters often fancy style over substance, isn't it a comforting thought to have a true economist, which Harper is, guiding the Canadian ship in the midst of the current global economic storm?
. For too long we've trumpeted style over substance. Harper's style, or perceived lack thereof, has been a popular target with court jesters for years, for his so-called robotic style. He understands the economy, and has surrounded himself with a solid team with proven track records. Jim Flaherty has been Harper's Minister of Finance since he became PM in 2006, and they chose Mark Carney to head the Bank of Canada, who has now been drafted by the Bank of England.
. Under Harper's predecessor, Liberal Jean Chretien, the Canadian dollar hovered in the 60-cent range against the U.S. dollar. Now it's at par.
. Canada's Economic Action Plan struck a balance between government intervention to shore up a shaky private sector with major, long overdue infrastructure projects, or simply letting free enterprise slide along with financial markets.
. Harper has an economic vision for the future of the country, based upon the expansion of oil and gas resource extraction and a pipeline he says is in the national interest. If built, the pipeline will enable Canada to access Asian markets and provide competition for the monopolistic U.S., which extracts up to a $35 per barrel discount on Canadian crude, largely because we have no serious competition.
Expansion plus the elimination of the American discount will boost this country's revenues to where it can cover the impending demands of Canada's pensions and demand for health services and avoid the fiscal brick wall that other democracies are hitting, namely Greece and Spain. This is thinking of generations to come.
. Redistribution of ridings and increasing the number of seats from the West in Parliament. This is significant, in that it brings the West even in terms of power and means that a party no longer has to win Quebec - or make special concessions to same - in order to form government.
. Although the Conservatives now hold a majority, Harper became Canada's longest-serving PM in a minority government in 2011. He surpassed Lester B. Pearson, who is highly regarded as a statesman. What does that make Harper?
Harper's policies are pragmatic and forward thinking. Canada should be proud.

GoldenEye 64 probably isn't as high and mighty as we all remember. Being a Nintendo 64 game and one of the first of its kind (on consoles) is a formula to age as well as Val Kilmer. That's why we must never play it again. Ever since, it's been easy to condemn Bond games as we await something to inject us with the same enthusiasm as blocky-Brosnan. Perhaps 007 Legends will be that game.
In honesty, I just want something amazing to commemorate 50 years since Dr. No. "A new storyline, based on missions from six classic Bond films" mightn't sound like the brilliance we desire, but just wait, it isn't half crazy.
Bond will almost certainly be played by Daniel Craig throughout the entire game. That will sour some fans, but it's a matter of licensing issues and continuity. Unless it's designed to be a "best of" collection, it will need one protagonist to form a coherent story.
It is, after all, a new story. To me that says it won't combine scenes from Goldfinger and Skyfall, but instead reference them in a new, flowing storyline. That could be exactly what Bond fans desire. A new story, designed for a video game, intertwined with nostalgic elements from 50 years of cinema.
The makings are there.
Throw Eurocom into the mix, and it all starts coming together. Their HD port wasn't much to write home about, but the original Wii remake of GoldenEye was arguably the best game since, well, GoldenEye 13 years earlier. They are also credited with 2002's Nightfire, which was a guilty pleasure of mine last generation. Eurocom knows how to make great Bond games, as arguably the best developer since Rare.
One of the reasons their Wii effort was so good, however, was its focus on offline multiplayer. Splitscreen has gone the way of Sydney's monorail, which is a shame, because that's where all of the best Bond games have really excelled. It also leaves us with one less reason to insult those Sydneysiders. A decent single-player is important, but it's the multiplayer that we remember Bond games for.
007 Legends needs to combine dusty old splitscreen with the current generation's infatuation with e-friends. It needs a dedicated offline mode that's just as good, if not better than the online counterpart. Furthermore, it must offer the best of both worlds with splitscreen online. That would be perfect for a Bond game, as long as it's done well. It could even work in free-for-all, as a little bit of screen cheating is always implied in Bond games, as long as you're never implicated with hard evidence of your cheatish ways.
007 Legends could be fantastic. Nothing will ever rival the memory of GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64, unless we foolishly try and replay it on HD TVs with controllers that no longer permit left turns. However, it's time for another great Bond game. Something like Nightfire that is still a blast to play and does everything we want from a Bond game.
That game could be 007 Legends.
By Ben Salter - Tweet @Ben_Salter
Will 007 Legends be more than just another Bond cash-in?
KyleKatarn said: Nightfire was garbage and N64 GoldenEye is revered largely due to nostalgia goggles being on too tight. What we need are more No One Lives Forever games.
