Saints Photo of the Week
Hats Off To The Class Of 2016!
We are occasionally asked if Briarcrest is a covenant school. We are not. For those who may not be familiar with the term "covenant school", it is one that, by policy, will only enroll children who come from a Christian family, which is usually defined as a family in which at least one parent is a professing Christian.
At Briarcrest, we believe God wants us to minister through Christian education to children from both Christian and non-Christian families, seeing them come to a strong faith in Christ that is lived authentically, seven days-a-week, beyond the walls of the church or school. We believe that Briarcrest's approach provides positive evangelism and discipleship opportunities in our students' lives. Briarcrest allows Christian students to practice their faith alongside a relatively small percentage of students who may have different beliefs, while being guided by a strong Christian faculty and staff.
We believe students from non-Christian families need the Gospel, and we are glad to be able to share it with them. We also believe Christian students need to learn and grow in their faith and ministry in a school community that is excited about ministering to all students who are behaviorally and academically qualified, regardless of whether they are from a Christian family.
Some parents believe that a covenant school that excludes children from non-Christian families will protect their children from the issues of a fallen world. While this thought may give a desired sense of security, there are significant reasons to doubt its validity. Christian kids exhibit inappropriate behavior, just like non-Christian kids. Their behavior, especially during the adolescent years, is often indistinguishable. Therefore, for admission purposes, Briarcrest looks at whether the student meets Briarcrest's behavioral standards, not whether a student is from a Christian family.
As part of a Christian school, it is important that Briarcrest students realize the significance of convictions, character, and conduct as they relate to a Christian Worldview and discipleship. Behavioral issues are dealt with as part of learning to live within a community under the authority of scriptural expectations. As students progress into adulthood, they will never be free from the authority of rules and expectations. So, the sooner students learn the freedom of living in accord with authority in their lives, the better their lives will be.
To that end, Briarcrest is one of the few Christian schools that hold students accountable to a 24-7 student code of conduct. We do not naively believe that our student code of conduct will keep all students from inappropriate behavior; but we do believe that, in our experience, setting expectations with our student code of conduct is better than turning a blind eye to what students do after 3:00 pm. This gives Briarcrest parents comfort that the school is supporting their efforts to give their children, whether from Christian or non-Christian families, a reason to say "no" to inappropriate behavior.
At Briarcrest, we live out our mission everyday within the controlled environment of a Christian School with a dedicated Christian faculty and staff. We would love to talk more with you about how Briarcrest's approach to its mission would enhance your child's spiritual growth and maturity.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Jones, Elvin (Ray)
Elvin Jones expanded the jazz drummer's role from timekeeper to volatile improviser. Jones's approach was more extreme and rhythmically advanced than many of his predecessors, and his ability to blur the end of one measure with the start of another made his sound an intense, polyrhythmic, tension-building force.
Elvin Ray Jones was born on September 9, 1927 in Pontiac, Michigan. His father was a lumber inspector for General Motors who sang bass in the church choir. Elvin's mother, a homemaker, raised a total of ten children, of whom Elvin was the youngest.
Two of Elvin's older brothers are also jazz musicians: Hank, a pianist, and Thad, a trumpeter and arranger. As a child, Elvin was exposed to gospel, blues, and jazz through both his parents and older siblings, and his musical talents became evident at a very young age. By his early teens, Elvin was already drumming in the style of his early influences, Jo Jones and Shadow Wilson.
Jones spent 1946 to 1949 in the United States Army. When he returned, he immediately immersed himself in the rich Detroit jazz scene. Billy Mitchell, a tenor saxophonist and bandleader, soon hired both Elvin and Thad Jones to play at the Bluebird Inn, where they backed jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, Wardell Gray, and Miles Davis during their three-year stint there.
After this successful run in Detroit, Jones moved to New York in the mid-1950s. He was undeterred by his unsuccessful audition to join Benny Goodman's group, and remained in New York, where he freelanced with almost all of the era's leading names, including Charles Mingus, Bud Powell Gil Evans, J.J. Johnson and Miles Davis.
Elvin's most famous early recording came from a run of dates with Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard in November of 1957. Rollins and Jones performed only with a bassist, and the lack of chordal accompaniment forever altered the scope of improvisational possibilities between the drummer and soloist in modern jazz. "I Can't Get Started"and "Old Devil Moon" are fine examples of the interaction between the two musicians.
In 1960, Jones joined John Coltrane's now "classic" quartet. The perfect foil for Coltrane's musical personality, the pair developed a virtually telepathic relationship in which they anticipated every intense climax or rhythmic motive.
Highlights from Jones's tenure with Coltrane include their Latin-to-swing version of "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes," "Chasin' the Train"and "Spiritual (B)"from their performances at the Village Vanguard in 1961.Other crowning achievements with Coltrane is A Love Supreme, and a master-class in sustained intensity from a 1965 recording at the Half Note, entitled "One Up, One Down."
During his nearly six years with Trane, Jones also freelanced and appeared on some of the sixties' most memorable tracks, such as "Dance Cadaverous" on Wayne Shorter's Night Dreamer, and "Inner Urge" on Joe Henderson's Inner Urge.
Elvin began recording as a co-leader with increasing regularity in the 1960s. Successful collaborations in the late 60s included a session with bassist Richard Davis entitled Heavy Sounds (1968), and a semi-regular trio with tenor saxophonist Joe Farrell and bassist Jimmy Garrison that can be heard on Puttin' It Together (1968).
Jones spent much of the 1970s recording as a leader as well, including sessions with a young Dave Liebman from the Lighthouse Club in California and an octet recording with Clark Terry and James Moody entitled Summit Meeting (1976). The late 70s saw Jones collaborate with altoist Art Pepper, under Jones' name (Very R.A.R.E., 1978) as well as under Pepper's name (The Complete Village Vanguard Sessions, 1977).
Jones's final act was to form the Jazz Machine, a revolving door of jazz musicians that released its first recordings in 1978. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the band toured and released records, many of them capturing the group live in concert. These records featured, in different combinations, musicians Frank Foster, Roland Prince, Sonny Fortune, Richard Davis, Nicholas Payton, Javon Jackson, Brad Jones and Ravi Coltrane. The Jazz Machine continued touring and recording until Jones's death in 2004.
Jones and Nagasaki native Keiko Jones were married in 1966, and remained married until his death. Keiko acted as his personal and business manager, and also arranged and composed charts for the Jazz Machine. Jones is survived by one son, Elvin Nathan Jones, of California, and one daughter, Rose-Marie Fromm, of Sweden.
Jones left an indelible mark on jazz drumming. His style summed up the accomplishments of his predecessors - Kenny Clarke, Roy Haynes, Jo Jones and Max Roach – yet he gave the drums a speaking voice that was entirely his own.
His prodigious technique, four-limb independence and penchant for polyrhythmic invention were coupled with a thunderous intensity He occasionally shifted ride-cymbal accents from the downbeats of to the upbeats of beats two and four were revolutionary and copied by nearly every subsequent jazz drummer. (From: one – TWO-uh – three – FOUR-uh / To: one – two-UH – three – four-UH).
Jones's ability to remain musical and tasteful at a thunderous volume pushed his collaborators to new musical heights, and made him a favorite of soloists as well as fellow drummers. Jones has been inducted into the Halls of Fame of the Percussive Arts Society, Modern Drummer, Downbeat Critics Poll, and Zildjian.

Even as we admire Ann Romney's refusal to allow her multiple sclerosis to limit her life (or her husband's), the sheer physical bravery of Mrs. Madison comes to mind. During the War of 1812, Mrs. Madison watched the exodus of the city's inhabitants and its militia as thousands of British troops marched on Washington. Although she could hear the boom of cannon from her rooms in the President's house, as the White House was then known, she refused to leave until she had arranged for the safe departure of the life-size portrait of George Washington hanging in her dining room. Ever politically savvy, she recognized it would be a prize for the invaders. If it were to "fall into the hands of the enemy," she observed, "[its] Capture would allow them to make a great Finish."
According to Kantor's book, Mrs. Obama has transitioned from a second-guessing presidential spouse to a truly effective political force inside and out of the White House. In spite of that achievement, however, she has yet to achieve the across-the-aisle popularity Dolley Madison had. The legendary U.S. senator Henry Clay—himself known for his brilliant political compromises—said of Dolley, "Everybody loves Mrs. Madison." Standing nearby, she heard his remark and fired off an immediate riposte: "That's because Mrs. Madison loves everybody."
That was remarkable, because at that time Washington D.C. was every bit as divided as it is today. When Madison's 1812 war declaration came to the floor of Congress, the opposition Federalists voted in a bloc against it, 39 to 0, a strategy of unanimous opposition we see employed so often in Congress today. And Mrs. Madison was the subject of virulent attacks on her character and even her morals. Yet as her contemporary, journalist Margaret Bayard Smith, wrote, "In … trying times, Mrs. Madison appeared to peculiar advantage … [meeting] political assailants with a mildness, which disarmed their hostility of its individual rancor, and sometimes even converted political enemies into personal friends."
Whatever is said about her this week, Mrs. Obama is not the first First Lady—nor will she be the last—to follow Dolley Madison's lead, investing her talents and ambitions in helping to shape and define her husband's presidency. (Michelle Obama's latest effort in that direction: She started tweeting.) But whoever is cast in the role of presidential wife in 2013, she would do her nation a service if she could succeed, as Mrs. Madison did, in bridging some of Washington's bitter political divides.

Simply Three continued their simply unstoppable success streak by releasing this morning their most star-studded recording to date, taking a break in their busy launch day to chat with Examiner. With their signature crystalline crossover chemistry, the trio's video cover of Janelle Monae's 'Cold War / Tightrope' fuses with the pop queen's music, in part, by featuring members of Monae's own band along with a nightclub-hip, Arizona-based dance troupe.
"With Kellindo, every interaction refers to a previous joke, so it's literally always laughs and giggles, even during the actual video shoot," said Simply Three's cellist Zack Clark about working with the renowned guitarist who's usually seen shredding up the stage with Monae.
"We liked the idea of the juxtaposition of wild, neon, black-lit colors to sleek black and white that honors Janelle's style," Simply Three's violinist Alex Weill said about the video concept that also includes Glen McDaniel, Monae's violinist. "Glen and Kellindo are both extremely talented musicians. What makes me admire them even more is how fun and humble they are."
"And it was so much fun filming the dueling violins section with Glen. The way the music is phrased actually sounds like the two violins are in conversation with each other," Weill added. The dramatic voicing blend between Kellindo's electric guitar and the treble violin phrases make a pleasing combination rarely equaled.
Nick Villalobos, Simply Three's bassist first envisioned the video. "The beginning of 'Cold War' starts off with a beautiful theme, so I knew we could pull that off on strings. But, every time I listened to 'Tightrope,' I was thinking, 'Man this is pretty funky.' All of the sudden, the first few scenes of the music video popped into my head. I saw starting in a classy white room; then right when that beat drops we move into a black lit room with EPIK doing an awesome dance."
"It was amazing to sit back and watch Saza and Weezy unfold this amazing choreography right before our eyes," Clark continued about the electric, fusion dance company. "Nick and I are under a ton of stress with high production music videos like this. But to our joy, the dance company relieved stress, and we didn't ever have to worry, because they hit the ground running!"
Wearing producer hats included incorporating neon gymnastics in a night club setting for Clark and Villalobos this time around. "One of the main challenges was making sure we had enough black lights to make the colors pop. That's where my dad, who is an electrician, came in," said Villalobos."He helped me build four panels of black lights that we used to light the dancers make up. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Once again, dad saves the day."
With layer upon layer of artistic innovation and stellar talent, Simply Three's unprecedented collaboration balances classical with pop so brilliantly that traversing the 'Tightrope' sounds refreshingly effortless. As of today's video release, which immediately vaulted past 1,000 views, the song is also available on iTunes, at Amazon and on Google Play.

I'm ready for this main event. Hoping Wyatt and Reigns get a lot of the ring time.
Seems like the Usos are basically a holder group for those titles until the WWE figures out what to do with them... they are hard to hate, but not easy to like either... pretty vanilla overall. At this point Stardust and Goldust would be more entertaining with it... although, Bray with the WWE World title and Harper and Rowen with the Tag titles would possibly be entertaining... except maybe it will be done in a more effective way (unlike what happened with the Shield)
I didn't know Lincoln still wrestled.
Why did Sandow avoid the cut?
Love this promo by Big E
I hate what they have done to Sandow. He is great on the mic, and is solid in the ring. I hate this jobber gimmick. I don't mind his funny segments, it's him just being a jobber to other wrestlers.
"THIS AH IS AH THE LAND AH OF THE FREE AH!" That was a painful promo..
I also miss Sandow getting a shot at better things than this.

I really liked his old gimmick. He was awesome on the mic and serviceable in the ring. Then he had to try to cash his briefcase in on He Who Does Not Lose and he just collapsed into mid-card hell..
Total Divas cast should include more people that can wrestle. As in not Eva Marie...
Poor Sandow,
Why couldn't he lose his chance by DQ?

There are a number of dining options included when you book a cruise with Royal Caribbean International. The cruise line also offers signature restaurants that are not included, but are affordable and worth checking out. Onboard the Grandeur of the Seas there are three signature Royal Caribbean restaurants that, although not included in the price of the cruise ticket, offer excellent service, good quality food, generous portions, variety and are actually quite inexpensive.
Giovanni's Table is the Italian restaurant onboard the Grandeur of the Seas. Diners pay $20 per person and can order as much or as little as they want. Each person generally orders an appetizer, a pasta, an entree and a dessert. The pastas are served family style so everyone can share. However, there are no set rules. Order two pastas if you like and skip the appetizer and entree. Standouts on the menu include the ossobucco, the mushroom risotto and gnocchi in bleu cheese sauce. Click here to view a sample menu.
For fresh sushi and Asian-fusion cuisine Izumi is the place to try onboard. The sushi is excellent quality and there are many specialty rolls to choose from. If sushi isn't really your thing, there are plenty of other options like their famous "hot rock" items. Your choice of chicken, beef, or seafood is cooked at the table on a 575 degree hot rock and served with dipping sauces, vegetables and fried rice. For those that want to try both the sushi and some of the other menu items, Izumi offers packages, like their Ishayaki rock and roll package which comes with soup, your "hot rock" choice, a sushi roll and a dessert. And don't forget to order appetizers, some of which are complimentary, like the edamame and the miso soup.
Like Giovanni's Table, Chops Grille is $20 per person and diners can order anything they want off the menu. Chops is a classic steakhouse and offers all kinds of cuts of steaks, cooked to perfection, as well as a number of sides and vegetables, like their delicious goat cheese and basil souffle, cheese n onion soup, sauteed wild mushrooms, and mashed potatoes to name a few. And with items like red velvet cheese cake and chocolate tartes, dessert is not to be missed either. The menu is extensive and is subject to change.

Fall Recreation League
Welcome to the Fall Recreation League! Use the TEAMS/SCHEDULES tab above to access your schedules and standings, or download the SincSports app on your iOS or ANDROID device!
The Capital Area Soccer League, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (C) (3) which operates in Wake County to provide youth soccer opportunities at multiple skill levels. CASL is funded by registration fees, sponsorships and charitable donations. CASL is a member of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA) which is a member of United States Youth Soccer. With that membership comes rules and operating requirements which CASL must follow.
One such operating requirement is playing Age Groups. Teams are formed based on the birth date of the participant. August 1 through July 31 is a playing age group. As an example, CASL's youngest age group is Under 5. That means to play as an Under 5, your child must become five years old in the range of August 1 through July 31.
This division does not require any prior experience and contains age groups from Under 5 through U 19 (High School). Recreation coaches are volunteers and usually parents of players. Costs, game format, ball size by age group can be found under the Recreation tab. There are two seasons to a playing year, Fall and Spring. Each season requires re-registration. The Fall season generally begins with two weeks of practices in late August for U 7 and above age groups. The Fall games will usually begin the weekend before Labor Day and there are 8 games to the season. The Spring season practices will usually begin in mid-February with games beginning in late February or early March and there are 8 games to the season. Registration for a new player or re-registration for veteran players (played the last season with CASL), begins near the end of the prior season. For example, Fall registration begins generally around mid-April. Those players registered between mid-April and the first part of June are guaranteed placement on a team. If you register after the guaranteed placement deadline you are not guaranteed placement. We will, however, make every effort to place your child and we generally place all except those who register just before the season begins. NCYSA does not allow teams to be stacked. One of the methods CASL uses to comply with this requirement is to assign players to the same team who live near one another. As a further method to comply with state team formation requirements, we do not allow players to request a specific team. From Under 5 through Fall of Under 10, teams play games in their region of the county such as Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary/Apex, or Garner. Beginning with the Spring of Under 10, teams are guaranteed four home games but the other four could be in another region. For example, a Cary team may have up to half their games outside of the Cary/Apex area such as Raleigh, Wake Forest, or Garner. Team scheduling is grouped to the extent possible to provide for competitive matches.
· U5 - U6 teams play only one day a week usually Saturdays unless a rain make up moves a play day to Sunday. The playing format is 3V3.
· U7 - U8 have one practice a week and the primary game day is Saturday. Occasionally there are Sunday afternoon games. Playing format is 4V4. .
· U9 - U10 have one practice a week and the primary game day is Saturday. Occasionally there are Sunday afternoon games. Playing format is 6V6.
· U 11-U 12 have one practice a week and the primary game day is Saturday. Occasionally there are Sunday afternoon games. Playing format is 8V8.
· Under 13 and Under 14 have one practice a week and the primary game day is Saturday. Occasionally there are Sunday afternoon games. Playing format is 11V11.
· Under 15 through Under 19 practice once a week with the primary game day of Sunday with occasional Saturday games. Playing format is 11V11.

Youth Soccer Coach
By Mike Berticelli
You donate your time for the good of our youth,
But you scream and you yell and are often uncouth.
The ref is just twelve and still learning the game,
But you call him a jerk and say he's not sane.
The parents are screaming and follow your lead,
As you sprint up the sideline at uncontrollable speed.
You jump as you yell, "Pass, pass the ball!"
You turn red as you bellow, Ref, make the damn call!"
"You're the left back now, get in your position,
If you don't, we might lose and ruin our tradition!"
Positions are needed so we look like a team,
Cause they're miniature pros, or so it does seem.
The fullback is bored, he picks at his nose,
While the others run wild and kick with their toes.
You scream for a goal, no matter how it goes in,
The skill doesn't matter, just as long as we win!
The parents go crazy as the ball nears the goal,
Their advice and instructions will soon take their toll.
You see, Junior feels pressure, he's not having much fun,
We tell him to pass, when to shoot and to run.
He came here to play and to use his own mind,
Cause soccer's the most creative game that you'll find.
Imagination is needed on the part of each child,
Solving problems on the field is what makes them go wild.
A week of long practice, while just standing in line,
Waiting to shoot, using one ball at a time.
This just doesn't cut it, and for some it's too late.
Make your practices fun, don't be the coach that they hate.
They come to "play" soccer, not to "work" at the game,
Their excitement is something we don't want to tame.
Maradona has moves that are beyond comprehension,
No coach taught those moves while threatening detention!
He learned from his friends and tried copying others,
While playing in games, without coaches or mothers.
Soccer is different, not like baseball at all.
We don't need positions, just give them the ball.
They first must learn skill, it's the meat of the game.
If they can't dribble or shoot, then who should we blame?
Skill must be learned through repeated trials.
If motivation is present, you will see them run miles.
Fun games are the answer to encourage repetition.
They laugh and they scream and enjoy competition.
Without the skill to dribble past an opponent at will,
Your players will win, but their growth will stand still.
I dream of the day when the parents just cheer
And losing the game doesn't bring out a tear.
When practice is fun, not dull and so boring,
And playing the game means more than just scoring.
I know you mean well and you donate your time,
But bury your ego and try something sublime.
Call all the parents and ask for their aid,
You're teaching their kids and not getting paid.
Your goal's to develop a youngster with skill,
Not a team that must win or some fancy new drill!
You see, players are not judged by their wins and their losses,
Instead they are judged by their shots, heads and crosses!
Scholarships are given to players with great names,
Not those on youth teams who never lost games.
A pro player gets paid 'cause his skills are real fine,
Not because his team never lost when he was just nine.
It's time to bring soccer to new heights in this nation,
The future's in players, not a coaching citation.
Let's start to say "dribble" and stop yelling "pass!"
You'll then see our players go to the head of the class.
I hope you're concerned, but not really offended,
It's the need for more skill that I have defended.
You're giving your all, from the good of the heart,
Why not make sure the kids get the right start?

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are engaged. According to a report from "Extra" on Jan. 6, 2014, the couple got engaged over the Christmas 2013 holidays in New York City, and then rang in New Year's Day 2014 in London. Roberts was seen wearing her engagement ring on the New Orleans set of "American Horror Story."
Roberts and Peters began dating in the spring of 2012. They co-star in the independent movie "Adult World" and in the TV series "American Horror Story." Roberts has said in interviews that she and Peters began dating after they filmed "Adult World."
In July 2013, Roberts was arrested for domestic violence against Peters but the charges were quickly dropped after Peters declined to press charges, according to a news story that TMZ first reported on July 16, 2013.
TMZ reported that Roberts' arrest took place on July 7, 2013, in Montreal, where the couple had police called on them after people heard loud arguing in the hotel room where Roberts (who is 22) and Peters (who is 26) were staying. Sources told TMZ that "Emma and Evan were hitting each other and she was arrested because he had obvious physical injuries. The sources deny Emma bit Evan." The fight also reportedly left Peters with a bloody nose.
According to "omg! Insider," the Montreal Police Department "confirmed the charges were dropped and the case is considered closed."
A spokesperson for Roberts commented to "omg! Insider" about the fight and Roberts' arrest: "It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it."
"Adult World" is a comedy in which Roberts plays a recent college graduate who aspires to become a famous poet but instead finds herself working at a low-paying job as a sales clerk in an adult-entertainment store. Peters plays her co-worker who has a romantic interest in her. IFC Films acquired North American distribution rights for "Adult World" after it premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. The movie is set for release in theaters and on VOD on Feb. 14, 2014.
Peters has been a series regular on "American Horror Story" since its 2011 debut. Roberts joined the cast in the show's third season, which premiered in October 2013. Because "American Horror Story" is an anthology show with a completely different storylines in each season, it is unknown if Roberts will continue to be a part of "American Horror Story" after its third season.
She co-starred in the 2013 comedy film "We're the Millers," which was a big hit in theaters and on home video.
Roberts comes from an family of famous actors. Oscar winner Julia Roberts is her aunt. Oscar nominee Eric Roberts is Emma's father.

Did Steven Spielberg kill a dinosaur that went extinct millions of years ago?
Some people on the Internet seem to believe that Steve Spielberg, director of "Jurassic Park", killed a dinosaur that went extinct 66 million years ago.
Facebook user Jay Branscomb posted a picture on July 6 of the famous director smiling next to a robotic, but life-like, Triceratops. The picture was taken from the set of the 1993 movie where cloned dinosaurs run wild on an island.
Branscomb captioned the picture with, "Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man."
Users shared the image more than 42,000 times, with almost 10,000 comments.
Some people were outraged that Spielberg killed the extinct dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period.
"Shame on this man! When will humans stop killing animals?!?!"
Another user said his heart was filled with sadness and questioned why Spielberg would "kill such a majestic beast".
One user said the killing was "unnecessary and appalling."
Speilberg was called a "disgrace to the human race" by a user who confused the Triceratops for a "rhino."
Sarcastic commentators didn't hold back on the believers.
"I heard he killed the last dodo," one user commented.
"I saw one in my backyard just this morning. I had no idea that there were so many."
Another user said the "photo (was) taken by a raptosaurues."
Whether or not the followers caught on to the joke, it was still pretty entertaining how serious some advocates were about it!

Removing ambiguity is a laudable goal, but since your notation merely directly substitutes symbols for longhand words and concepts, it's not going to be any more nor any less ambiguous than the original terms were. We could certainly quibble over the meaning of "m(x)" to precisely the same extent as we could quibble over a longhand term like "the morality of a given action".
Concision is also a laudable goal, but I'm afraid that since every public usage of a "morality equation" will have to be accompanied with a longhand key-code, It'll be slightly less concise than just using the longhand.
Don't get me wrong, I still think that it's an interesting exercise that might yield new insights from manipulation of the variables... but I rather think that's all it's useful for.
Originally posted by tk102:
I understand what you mean by loss. I tried to cheat it into the D(x) factor assuming death as being the maximum distress for an individual:
I believe that was the only negative impact you cited that didn't fall under D(x). "Violations of established rights" I believe would qualify as psychological distress. I'm open to suggestions though of how better to define m(x) in terms of physical distress, psychological distress, death. Maybe each of those get their own variable instead of being lumped under D(x).
Absolutely they need their own values. I mean, conflating these values totally oversimplifies the equation. If the values are joined at the hip, there's no way to properly delineate say... a painless murder and on the other end of the scale, torture without physical injury.

I'm glad you took issue with Ky. It bothered me too. Seemed quite anthrocentric, but at the same time I am surprised you wouldn't kill a mosquito. If I saw one biting my son, I wouldn't hesitate even without the risk of disease.
Why would you kill it? Merely because of parental instinct? If so, I'm sure you'll agree that such protective instincts- while human and understandable- are not means by which we can determine a moral course of action.
Originally posted by tk102:
But getting back, you are suggesting that in order to be remain objective, we simplify the equation:
D(x) := ? dxyKy : (y ? P)
D(x) := ? dxy : (y ? P)
That is quite a conservative view, considering the suffering of a mosquito is equivalent is on par to the suffering of a human. It's not unheard of though -- Jainism follows this belief precisely. Plus it is does eliminate the rather troublesome Ky value.
Which once again highlights this point: In order to be optimally moral, it follows that we must follow the most conservative view. By this, I mean the optimally moral individual would follow a course of action that eliminated even the RISK of behaving immorally.
Thus, while I am not a follower of Jainism, I would have a hard time arguing against the assertion that they're being optimally moral in their treatment of other creatures.
Originally posted by tk102:
But why does Ky trouble us? As you suggested with your alien scenario, what appears to an advanced alien as moral may appear to us as cruel and immoral. If we assume the universe has a fixed number of species within it, it is possible there does exist a scale of complexity that could be objectively defined. By inference then, the seemingly subjective Ky would in fact be an objective value. So in that case, perhaps it is true that Khuman << Kalien. Oh yeah, that's why it troubles us.
Mmm, bit of leap there TK, I rather think the reason the alien scenario shows that anthrocentric views are immoral is that we
that we suffer and die, and that suffering and death are negative experiences for us. So regardless of whether the hypothetical aliens are more complex than us in both body and mind, that doesn't make their version of suffering more "valuable" than ours. It doesn't make our lives less "important". After all, empathy is about putting yourself in the shoes of others, not
them against your self-image.
So I think the question of whether there's an objectively definable scale of complexity on which all higher animal life can fit... is an utter irrelevance to the question of morality and moral treatment of other creatures.

The categorical imperative is essentially a plea for moral universality. Universality is already implied (assumed, actually) in the equation. I don't think you need to fit the CI in anywhere to properly represent the values you're trying to describe. It would take a separate (and prohibitively complex) equation to deal with the question "why should a person be moral?"

The Cruel Corrupt Cover-up Of Northern Ireland's biggest House-building Fraud Was Premeditated, Planned and Perpetrated Before The Troubles Began, Was Copper-fastened Just After The Troubles Began By 10 Downing Street And Down District Council, And Even Though Thousands Of Other Families Throughout Northern Ireland, Including Little Children, Are At Risk, Even Our Media Has Been Frightened/Forced Into An Eerie Silence About This Scandalous Situation!
Ok - I'm a Whistleblower and I have been blowing my whistle loud and long on my very sick local Council - which is in its last year of existance. In November 1976 I asked Down District Council for the Statutory Services I had been forced, by law, for many years, to pay for. Down District Council refused. To have provided my family with those Statutory Services would have automatically exposed the scandalous house-building fraud orchestrated, aided, abetted and covered-up by its predecessor, the East Down Rural District Council.
Down District Council, which began life in 1973 when it replaced the East Down Rural District Council, the Downpatrick Urban District Council and the Down County Council, continued covering up this massive house-building fraud simply because a number of Councillors and Officers of the three former Councils became part of the new Down District Council!
This corrupt Council then prevented me from obtaining the legal means to overturn that refusal including using Ratepayers' money to pay lawyers to assist in overturning the legal Findings of a Commissioner for Complaints Report! Down District Council went even further and organised the cover-up of this criminal activity in the building of dwelling houses throughout Northern Ireland and even engaged the assistance of the British Government in supporting this scandal. Read the evidential facts below!
Please contact the United Nations Special Rapporteur on housing, Mme. Raquel Rolnik by email at:
and tell her about www.gerryrice.net
Mme. Rolnik was in Northern Ireland recently in her official capacity.
It is now time for house-holders to reclaim their stolen Mortgage/Rent/Rates Payments for being sold mis-sold goods in the form of terralux-built houses
It is now time for every former house-holder to reclaim their stolen Property having been denied their most basic legal right under English Law - the right to an appointed jury of twelve of their fellow citizens to decide if their home is to be seized from them according to Common Law.
Dear Miss Ritchie MP,
The institutional disorder, to say the least, which has afflicted the people of dependent Northern Ireland for so long and in which you personally have been an active participant for over three decades must be remedied.
You Miss Ritchie, are a well-educated lady, even to University standard at The Queen's University in Belfast, yet your comment in the accompanying newspaper article leaves so much to be desired.
As you probably know, Psychologists at Yale University have discovered that children, even at six months old, know the difference between right and wrong, so your being long past that significant age, I venture to aquaint you with facts of living in our South Down constituency, and even further afield, to which I would contend, in your professional capacity, you must have turned 'a blind eye'.
When I sought help from the Social Democratic and Labour Party's (SDLP's) three most influential political party members many years ago, two of my letters were acknowledged with promised answers, but all three of my letters were NEVER answered. Since I was simply asking for the Down District Council's Statutory Services that, by law, I had been legally compelled for years to pay for, namely Building Control and Environmental Health services that I needed for the protection of my large family, and which Down District Council had already refused my family, these were three additional cases of gross injustice especially at a time when your political party, the SDLP, actually controlled Down District Council with an overall voting majority - ten SDLP votes to nine votes. That was in 1977 (see below) when the SDLP contrived to obtain an overall majority by electing an Alliance party Councillor as Chairman of this Council (who only had a vote in a tied Council) and called it 'power-sharing'! Which is why I had to begin my (Open) university education in my early sixties to learn how to hand-code webpage source code mark-up to become a whistle-blower on, especially, SDLP corruption.
Our late Pope, Blessed John Paul II, stated when he was in Ireland in 1979, "As long as injustices exist in any of the areas that touch upon the dignity of the human person ..... true peace will not exist."
Unfortunately, it has been my sad experience that, like the soldiers of Coroticus, even senior members of your political party who bear such responsibility for the policy conduct of lesser members of the SDLP, have also proved to be enemies of peace and reconciliation. Even during your own many years as a public representative, beginning as a Down District Councillor from 1985 until 2009, almost a quarter of a century, you never to my knowledge, spoke out publicly, not even during a Down District Council meeting, to challenge the Terralux-built houses fraud cover-up which was affecting so many of your Council constituents and which was the reason for my request for help from your three most influencial SDLP members in the first place.
I never saw any reports of your having offered any support to Mrs. Carmel O'Boyle in her endeavours as a house-wife, mother, school-teacher AND Councillor, when, as your fellow-Councillor on Down District Council, Councillor O'Boyle, began a personal and individual investigation, lasting many months, into our family's shocking housing problem and Down District Council's equally shocking handling and corrupt cover-up of that problem - Down District Council being the only legal authority with the power to resolve it - beginning with her letter dated 11th January 1998 in the local weekly press. Councillor O'Boyle received the written support in a letter to the same press from another female Down District Councillor, Mrs. Anne Carr of the Women's Coalition who left this corrupt and corrupting Council shortly afterwards. Even the late Down District Councillor Mrs. Gerldine Ritchie spoke on our family's behalf at a Down District Council Meeting and was supported by her fellow-Sinn Fein Councillor Frank McDowell who stated that he had never seen house-building like the shocking house-building in our former home at 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, Co. Down in his life, and I believe Frank was in the building trade.
Mrs. Catherine McDermott, an SDLP Councillor on Banbridge Council, even went into her SDLP's Annual Conference at Newcastle, Co. Down, after spending time talking to our family as we picketed outside the Slieve Donard Hotel on a very wet, cold night. Councillor McDermott challenged SDLP members at their conference to do their duty in our case. Mrs. McDermott came out to us again later in the rain and told us what she had done but also told us that she was told to mind her own business!
It must be said, however, that it was another female Councillor, an Ulster Unionist Councillor, Mrs. Ethel Smyth, who, as the only female Councillor on the SDLP-controlled Down District Council in 1977, was the only Councillor who possessed the moral courage to vote against what she knew, and all her nineteen male fellow-Councillors also knew, was the sick cop-out of that Council's Statutory duty in their decision at their Council Meeting on November 21st 1977 (see below), to hold a Meeting as a means of rectifying my family's dangerous housing problem, a Meeting, involving NO Councillors, that all the Councillors KNEW was NOT going to take place, instead of issuing a Statutory Notice to let the power of the Court do what had to be done for our childrens' protection!
This was the initial step in this sordid SDLP/Down District Council cover-up which is still continuing to this day!
Probably, as a consequence of fellow-Ulster Unionist Councillors voting FOR this shoddy and corrupt decision, Councillor Ethel Smyth left the Ulster Unionist Party to become a member of Dr. Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party. Dr. Paisley MP himself was later to obtain crucial information for me in my battle for justice when he put down a Question in Parliament (See below)!
Councillor Carmel O'Boyle's unique and much later challenge to what began, and is still continuing to be, a web of institutional corruption, was conveniently ended when this corrupt and corrupting Council appointed the Chief Executive Officer of Belfast City Council, Peter McNaney, - whose Council area contains an, as yet, undisclosed number of private and public sector dwellings built with dangerous Terralux blocks - to assist in the continuation of their cover-up!
As a double-jobbing South Down Stormont MLA from 2003 until 2012, your Ministerial Portfolio included responsibility for, quote,
"housing ... community development ... social and affordable housing. You launched the New Housing Agenda in February 2008, an unprecedented series of initiatives and programmes aimed at tackling homelessness and providing much needed social and affordable housing, as well as helping people to reach the first step of the housing ladder in Northern Ireland".
Why did you not even avail of that unique opportunity, as a Government Minister in the Stormont Legislative Assembly, to identify the Terralux-built houses fraud cover-up? Incredibly, you did not even mention at any point in all these years, to the best of my knowledge, the scandal of this Terralux-built houses fraud cover-up to even "help people" to become aware of the possible dangerous condition of any house they might be buying as a first, second or even third step buyer - as we were! Why? Why? Why?
Now in South Down where you have been MP since 2010, you, Miss Ritchie, to the best of my knowledge, have still never challenged the Terralux-built houses fraud cover-up, so isn't it time you considered 'doing the decent thing' to all the people not only in South Down that you still represent, but also use the information from this website at no cost to you to help all the people across Northern Ireland who are also being cheated by this fraud and living with its danger which began in the Downpatrick area.
In challenging your statement above in a "packed Cathedral in Downpatrick" on the Feast-day of our National Saint, I have to tell you that it has been my experience, that,
1, you and your whole political SDLP party, along with others, with four notable and courageous female exceptions, have been running away from defending the human and legal rights of our family and the human and legal rights of an, as yet, undisclosed number of thousands of other families, and,
2, you and your whole political SDLP party, along with others, with four notable and courageous female exceptions, refused to stand up against the effects of the written edicts, copied below in Meeting Minutes, of the SDLP-controlled Down District Council, which relate the vicious, cruel, obscene and corrupt mentality of the perpetrators of those edicts, and not only did you all not stand against the effects of this fraudulent and criminal activity, but actually became instrumental in prolonging the persecution of the house-holders being misrepresented, and I would contend that your 'turning a blind eye' along with so very many others, especially in your own political party, to this gross misrepresentation, has greatly assisted in preventing its exposure of lies, deceit, dishonesty, corruption, criminal conduct, greed and mafia-type evil.
Shortly before you, Miss Ritchie, became leader of the SDLP, the Irish News printed this article dated November 11th 2009 in which you set out your leadership manifesto. You are quoted as stating,
"... the SDLP could be deeply proud of everything it has achieved - peace, equality, fairness in housing and jobs ... but let me be clear - what this party delivered 30, 20 or even 10 years ago is for historians ..."
How very, very convenient for you, Miss Ritchie! When Jesus said, "Suffer little children ... ", He meant, "Be patient and allow little children to come unto Me." The SDLP-controlled Down District Council meant "Suffer little children ... " literally, when my wife's tearful pleas to Down District Council for protection for our children over the phone were instantly rebuffed, especially when she had to open the doors and windows in the middle of winter in 1977/78 to stop our new-born baby from coughing with the effects of coal smoke from the fire from the house next door, and you along with the membership of your 'political party' still continue to ignore the consequences of that rebuff to this day! Convenient, yes, but legal and moral? Definitely not!
I have now become one of those historians, Miss Ritchie, and one still suffering from that which you have supported others in delivering by your silence such is the length of time this "immeasurable suffering", (Councillor Carmel O'Boyle's written words) has been serviced by your party! You are quoted as stating,
"As SDLP leader, I will work every day to lay the foundations upon which a united Ireland can be built - mutual trust, respect and protection for minorities, common purpose and shared endeavour ... "
How in this real world could you even consider building such a plausible 'foundation' for a united Ireland as leader of your political party when you have been so disabled in building,
3, mutual trust with your Down District Council constituents, your Legislative Assembly South Down constituents and your Parliamentary South Down constituents?
4, respect and protection for minorities like our family. Unless, of course, your use of the phrase "common purpose" has a more sinister meaning - like a sounding bell for certain others. "Common Purpose" as you probably know is a 'legal British charity' which is in effect a 'trojan horse' containing trained operatives designed to infiltrate, subvert and destroy democratic societies. Secretive members of "Common Purpose" are presently doing their dirty work in Northern Ireland!
Given the information below on this webpage, Miss Ritchie, do you as a public servant really believe that you and your political party are really and truly serving the people you all profess to represent, and you personally are generously empowered to serve as a Member of Parliament? I believe that what you and your political party are doing is pernicious and destructive.
Gerry Rice.
Why do power-hungry people in Government in London and Belfast, in 26 local-Government Councils throughout Northern Ireland, in the Northern Ireland Law Society, in the legal profession and in the police, refuse to act to expose, and deal with, the massive house-building fraud - the evidence of which is built into many thousands of dwellings throughout Northern Ireland - which is condemning many thousands of families throughout Northern Ireland to live in dwellings whose load-bearing structures are built with THIS - instead of THIS as required by law, in a vile orchestrated institutional cover-up? This cruel fraud is causing householders and their children to live in danger, simply because three-quarters of the legally-required "thick solid material" in each load-bearing structure in every one of these defective dwellings is actually
While the focus of this website is solely concerned with my family's traumatic experiences following our purchase of 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, Co. Down, Northern Ireland in June 1976, my determined pursuit of justice in redressing the shocking defects in the construction of 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, led me to obtain and study all the official and non-official documentation that I could get my hands on following my discovery of an obvious building fraud which quickly led me to Down District Council and the stark realisation that our almost new home was but the tip of a very big iceberg involving not only families living next door in our block of four terraced houses and throughout most of our housing estate in Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, but which also involved families throughout our Down Council's own District and even far beyond throughout Northern Ireland! It has also caused me to comment in some detail about the structures of the other defective houses in my former closest neighbours' dwellings. Yet, nearly four decades on, the most relevant of this official documentation is still being denied to me by Down District Council, most recently even under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. See https://www.whatdotheyknow.com and type in "Down District Council" and then click on "Gerry Rice".
In this website however, you will be able to read in Down District Council's own written words from its Meeting Minutes from the five full Council Meetings at which my complaint was brought up and discussed - very briefly - how Down District Council set up, organised, aided, abetted and delivered the continuing chronic cover-up of this iceberg of, as yet, undisclosed proportions against not only my family but against at the very least, one thousand families within Down Council's own District, and then helped to spread this vile orchestrated institutinal cover-up of fraud as it affected Northern Ireland's other 25 Councils!
The chimney breast of one of these neighbouring houses just around the corner from 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch - in Millbrook Drive - actually exploded into one family's living room because it was built similar to this chimney breast in the party/dividing wall between No. 54 and No. 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, Co. Down. This explosion was caused by a build-up of coal-gas inside the four large holes in each of the open-ended Terralux blocks and ignited by the hot fire just below. Terralux blocks are NOT a legal building material and should NEVER have been used. The building law, at the time these defective houses were built, specified "good thick solid bricks". All this cruel injustice, especially the actual theft of Mortgage, Rent and Rates payments for illegally-built property, is nothing short of
"The purpose of a Court in a civilized society is the vindication of men's rights and the enforcement of just causes" - Lord Denning.
Lawyers of Northern Ireland, be true to yourselves and do your legal and moral duty.
Ensure that every victim/citizen, including me, is enabled to get their case into a Court of Law and that they are empowered to exercise their legal rights within that Court of Law.
Refuse to be the enforcers of slavery as in this present case referred to in www.gerryrice.net and www.gerryrice.com
Stop being afraid of, and being slaves to, our Banker-controlled Government.
So far, during these past 38 years, you Northern Ireland Lawyers, have chosen INJUSTICE, TYRANNY and therefore SLAVERY in refusing to take my case against Down District Council!
Thomas Jefferson stated, "When the People fear the Government, there is TYRANNY, but when the Government fear the People, there is LIBERTY".
Hello and thank you for looking at my website www.gerryrice.net. My name is Gerry Rice. My wife Gemma and I live outside the village of Drumaness at 11 Newcastle Road, Ballynahinch, BT24 8NE in the heart of Co. Down in Ireland. We are both pensioners.
We were fifty years married in September 2013. We have eleven children, 28 grandchildren and three great-grand-children.
We bought 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, and our large family took possession of it on June 4th 1976 only to find that it was part of a massive house-building fraud that was to be covered up by District Councils throughout Northern Ireland, local and central Government politicians, government Ministers, legal firms, police and most of the media. Our family had to leave this Government-subsidised two-storied terraced house in August 1979 for the safety of our family and we could only afford to purchase an old disused mobile school classroom to shelter in until our defective house was repaired. How wrong we were. We paid our mortgage for years for our empty defective house in the hope that it was only a matter of time until the Down District Council made No. 56 Carlisle Park into the house we were led to believe we had bought but to no avail. For health reasons especially, I was forced to stop paying the mortgage and No. 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch was stolen off us in the High Court Buildings by the Nationwide Building Society in our absence. I say "stolen" because I had repeatedly made sure that the Nationwide Building Society were totally aware that we were the victims of a massive fraud - and their choice of surveyor had charged me a fee of 18 pounds for confirming that No. 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch was proper security and value for the amount of money that the Nationwide Building Society had loaned us. Had I known at that time that I could have demanded a jury before our defective home was to be literally stolen from Gemma and me, I would have certainly have demanded a jury trial! Gemma and I still live in our old mobile school classrom now in 2014!
Tragically, my lovely wife Gemma was diagnosed with cancer some weeks ago, at the end of April 2014.
The following pictures of 'workmanship' in government-subsidised dwellings, allowed by a certified building contractor, carried out by professional bricklayers and passed as acceptable, under the stringent Housing (Owner Occupation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1956 in force at the time of their construction, 1971/1972, by THREE separate inspection agencies, is a perversion that MUST BE DEALT WITH - including the fact that Down District Council actually used Ratepayers' money to employ "high-powered" lawyers to assist in the illegal changing of the Findings of the former Commissioner for Complaints Report CC 19/78 on this case!
In 1987 I began gathering up all my many papers on this sordid affair. I then typed out my story on an old typewriter. This task took up all my spare time over the next three years which was quite exhausting as it was done under the shadow of all our suffering. Over the next few years publishers in London, Dublin and Belfast refused to publish my story as a book.
In January 2000 I bought my first computer. I typed my story into the computer over a number of months while I was still recovering from being knocked down by a car in January 1998. I felt that this story just had to be told and the fraud exposed. I studied with the Open University to enable me to hand-code web pages and put my story on the internet. I have always tried to keep within the laws of this land in which I choose to live and I continue to do so here. Nevertheless I have ended up with a criminal record and I was also made bankrupt just because I chose to do what was right, and become a whistle-blower, in the midst of so much wrong. Both these black marks against my character were wrongfully imposed upon me by Government agencies. My totally defective home was stolen off me and sold, my thriving business decimated and because I relentlessly sought justice, people in authority here have tried, and are still trying, to make me out to be a crank. My wife and children have also been made to suffer in the most cruel ways. I called my story:
Silence is Golden. Silence can bring peace of mind, silence can bring peace to the soul. The silence in my story however, is a totally different silence. This silence brings hurt, frustration, misery, pain, financial loss, mental abuse and much more. This silence is destructive. It is the silence that surrounds official wrong-doing, official injustice, institutional corruption, the silence that, if not checked and dealt with by the law, becomes institutionalised violence. It is the silence of bullies, corrupt people who must be exposed as cheats, liars and criminals. It is the silence which is financially golden to such cowards. This silence punishes the innocent in order to protect the guilty who in this case are also worldly powerful. I refused to accept this silence, I refused to be a part of this silence, and along with my wife and our children, I have been made to pay a very heavy price for that refusal. This is our story, a story that has gone on under the cover of the Troubles and even since for over 37 years and is still ongoing. It is one of many such stories in Northern Ireland.
I have written repeatedly to all the known 'remedial government departments' and legal agents within the UK over these past 38 (thirty-eight) years to no avail, and more recently contacted The United Nations Human Rights Council on a number of occasions about this serious and dangerous housing fraud affecting many thousands of families throughout Northern Ireland.
These families include - in alphabetical order - Catholic, loyalist, nationalist, Protestant, republican and Unionist families. I have had no replies as yet from agencies of the United Nations.
Could it be that a very interested party has interfered with my emails and/or letters?
I have kept the British Government fully informed throughout these thirty-eight years regarding the effects that this massive fraud and its cover-up are having on my own faily and the thousands of families throughout Northern Ireland, but Her Majesty's Government are obviously content with their part in this cover-up.
Almost five months after we bought our almost new home in June 4th 1976, I phoned my local Down District Council on November 29th 1976 to complain of the smoke nuisance in our home which was coming from the fire-place of our next door neighbour.
Eventually, Down District Councillors finally got around to discussing our plight, which we had suffered with for over a year by this time and which was at last being discussed for the first time at the Down District Council Meeting on 19th September 1977 almost nine months after I first made my complaint!
My complaint of smoke nuisance in my former home at 56 Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, Co. Down, which was leaking through what should by law have been a solid fire-proof and smoke-proof wall dividing the two houses and wasn't, was mentioned, but Councillors all agreed to take no action. At the same meeting however, the same Councillors agreed to take an abundance of Statutory action in respect of a much less dangerous smoke nuisance which did not involve Council neglect!

Baseball Whitewashes Chicago State, 11-0
April 30, 2003
Chicago, Ill. - Senior designated hitter Chuck Peters and junior outfielder J.P. Moran went a combined 5-for-10 with five RBI and three runs scored to help lead the University of Illinois at Chicago to the 10-0 non-conference victory over Chicago State at Les Miller Field on Wednesday evening.
Peters went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored, while Moran was 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored to pace the Flames' offensive attack.
With the victory, UIC improves to 27-13 and extends its home-winning streak to 24 games dating back exactly one year when the Flames dropped an 8-4 decision to the Kansas Jayhawks on April 30, 2002. Chicago State falls to 6-35 on the campaign.
UIC also received solid offensive performances from junior outfielder J.P. Carey (2-for-3, 2 runs), Brad Ryan (2-for-3, RBI, run), Chris Kerpan (2-for-2, two runs, homer) and Kevin Nelson (1-for-3, 2 RBI).
Mike Slowik and Brian Grippo each picked up two hits for Chicago State.
Junior starter Eric Carlson (1-2) picked up the victory for the Flames as he, Marcus Goodman, Bill Bernabei, Charlie Hahn, Ryan Martin, Ryan Gehring and David Haehnel combined for the seven-hit shutout.
Chicago State starter Jason Stamper took the loss for the Cougars, allowing two runs and three hits in two innings of work to drop to 0-8 on the season.
UIC will be back in action on Friday evening, as they will host Cleveland State for a Horizon League contest at 7:05 p.m. at Les Miller Field.

Gracie Gold now has the medal to go with the name.
The 18-year-old with the name that will echo through the television commercials for the next month won her first national title in convincing fashion at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships Saturday in Boston.
Gold used a triple Lutz-triple toe combination to begin, followed with a double Axel-triple loop and a singular triple loop. She bobbled on her triple flip and saved herself on a triple Lutz and triple Salchow to wind up with a 139.57 free skate and combined score of 211.69. Polina Edmunds edged Mirai Nagasu for silver by the slimmest of margins, and two-time defending champion Ashley Wagner was fourth.
"This evening was a dream come true," Gold said. "It was one of the best nights of my life, I was able to do what I train, and I went out there and did what I can and left it all out on the ice. I'm so proud of myself."
Gold, who is coached by Frank Carroll, skated to music from "Sleeping Beauty" and placed sixth at the World Championships last year and second in Nationals.
Defending U.S. junior champion Edmunds, 15, opened with consecutive triple-jump combinations and a double Axel, before hitting the ice on a triple flip. She recovered on a triple Lutz and triple loop with two double toe loops.
"I skated almost as strongly as I could," she said. "I thought my marks were fair. I'm really excited to see what happens. I'm young, but some of my role models like Tara Lipisnki, she was 15 when she went to the Olympics. I've been skating for 13 years, so it's not like I just started. It's always been my dream to go to the Sochi Olympics."
Nagasu was clean throughout, nailing two triple flips, two double Axels, two triple loops, and a triple Lutz. She was one point off Edmunds in the long program and trailed the fellow Californian in total 193.63 to 190.74.
"It's been a really emotional year for me because I'm the only person who's already been to an Olympics, and I really wanted to go back again," the 20-year-old Nagasu said. "I get really emotional because I think I did my best, and hopefully, they name me to the team. I haven't always been the most consistent skater, but I know that under pressure, I'm really good most of the time."
Nagasu mentioned she skated last in Vancouver and ended up placing fourth behind Kim Yu-Na. She is in the discussion with Wagner as to who will compose the three-woman team the U.S. sends to Sochi.
"I'm the only person with Olympic experience," Nagasu said. "I don't know how my federation will do, but I did what I had to today."
Nagasu finished seventh in the last two Nationals, won the bronze in 2011, silver in 2010, and was fifth in 2009 after winning gold as a 14-year-old in 2008. This autumn she was third in the Rostelecom Cup.
Wagner won bronze in the 2010 U.S. Championships when the Americans could only send two ladies to the Olympics. On the Grand Prix circuit this fall, she won in Paris, was second in Skate America and was third in the final.
Nagasu laughed when asked how much sleep she would get Saturday night, in wait of the decision coming at 10 a.m. MT Sunday. Korea and Japan will also have three women qualify for the Olympics.
Gold will attempt to be the first U.S. champion since Kristi Yamaguchi in 1992 to carry her success over to the top of the Olympic podium. Remember, Michelle Kwan was the national champion in both the years Tara Lipinksi and Sarah Hughes won, and Jeremy Abbott was the men's champion preceding Evan Lysacek's victory in Vancouver.
Outside the medals, Samantha Cesario was fifth, Courtney Hicks sixth (after being 16th after the short program), Barbie Long seventh, Christina Gao eighth, Hannah Miller ninth, and Leah Keiser 10th.
Rachael Flatt, the 21-year-old who was the 2010 champion and seventh-place finisher in Vancouver, placed 18th to a standing ovation as she bowed out of her skating career and likely into a bright future with a Stanford University degree. Caroline Zhang, still only 20 and the 2007 world junior champion, was 19th, and 27-year-old Joelle Forte was 21st and last, but will also likely leave behind a decorated career on the ice at TD Garden.

If you are using desktop version of Office 2010 with SharePoint 2013 everything works great and you can open, edit and save all day. That is until you try to install any app from Office 2013 like say SharePoint Designer 2013 because you're thinking of building some workflows.
Apparently SharePoint 2013 sees any Office 2013 app as an indicator that the entire 2013 suite is present and gives an odd error in the browser address field (ms-word:nft|u| <URL of site>/Forms/<library name> |s| <url of site>) when you try to open an office document with the desktop apps. OWA works fine it is just an Office desktop error.
Many thanks to Dr. SharePoint's article on the subject (The only one I could find) that identified the issue. The resolution is to install the apps in descending sequence ( if you must have both) Uninstall Office 2010, install SharePoint DEsigner 2013, then reinstall Office 2010. In my particular instance simply uninstalling SPD 2013 and running a repair on Office 2010 did the trick.

Francee' is one of the best white-margined hostas. It is a vigorous fortunei-type hosta with large distinctive blue-green leaves, each with a slightly jagged yellowish band round the edge. Although mainly grown for their foliage, in midsummer they produce impressive spikes of lavender bell shaped flowers held just above the foliage. Plants prefer light shade as the leaf margins may scorch in a sunny spot especially if the soil is not moist enough. Like all hostas, they make effective ground cover and look best when grown in groups. 'Francee' teams well with other hostas, but also looks good with hardy ferns, astilbes and dicentra in light shade. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
