Paolo says relax
by Ashley Houghton
PDC: 'We are going to build a very, very good team, with a very good work ethic.'
Sunderland head coach Paolo Di Canio has urged fans to stay calm ahead of the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League campaign.
Di Canio's side are currently training in Italy, prior to a trip to Hong Kong, with the season opener just under six weeks away.
And the Italian has told the Black Cats faithful to 'relax' as he looks to improve his squad over the course of pre-season.
"In terms of fans, I was a fanatical fan when I was younger so I can understand their feeling, I know they want to know what's going on," he said.
"[The fans may feel] we need a striker, a right-back, a left back, and it will be the same when we win two in a row and they think maybe we can go into the Europa League.
"They will dream, they will go hungry, they will be upset but I can tell them only one thing, relax."
The former Swindon boss, who steered the Black Cats to Premier League survival at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, says he expects the same commitment from his players this season as they showed towards the end of last season.
"We are going to build a very, very good team, with a very good work ethic, that will be crucial on the field - we are going to face the opponents; we are going to challenge the opponents," Di Canio explained.
"My team and the players I select will always have to wear this shirt with honour, dignity and respect otherwise they can't play under me.
"The fans have to be proud when we finish the game even if we lose, because, unfortunately, we are going to lose a few games."
And he was quick to add that making the Black Cats faithful proud of their team was number one on his priority list.
"All the individuals wearing the shirt need to make the fans proud because this is the minimum that we can do because we have a big privilege to wear the shirt," he continued.
"I can't anymore but I can participate in a different way and determinate something for thousands and thousands of people.
"They have to stay relaxed because once again at the start of the season, on the 17th August, they will be happy."

Dick Bennett became the 15th head coach to direct the Washington State men's basketball team when he was hired March 29, 2003. He came to the Palouse with a proven track record of rebuilding programs. He continued the tradition last season during his first campaign with the Cougars.
WSU won 13 games, the most since 1996-97, and a six-win improvement from 2002-03. The Cougars won seven Pac-10 games after winning just seven of their previous 50 conference games prior to Bennett's arrival.
The Cougars biggest improvement came on the defensive end of the floor. WSU led the Pac-10, holding opponents to just 59.7 points per game, a 19.1 points per game improvement from 2002-03. No Pac-10 team has recorded such a dramatic improvement from one season to the next since Arizona and Arizona State joined the Pacific-8 to form the Pacific-10 for the 1978-79 season. In addition, it marked the lowest scoring average against a Pac-10 team since Oregon State yielded 57.7 points per game in 1984-85, two years prior to the 3-point shot being implemented.
During Bennett's first year, WSU swept three Pac-10 season series for the first time since 1994-95, broke losing streaks of 27 road games (at Alaska Fairbanks) and 22 Pac-10 road games (at California), and ranked nationally in scoring defense (12th), free throw percentage (13th) and fewest turnovers per game (14th).
Perhaps Bennett's biggest accomplishment last season came Feb. 7 at UCLA. He guided WSU to a 55-48 win marking the first time the Cougars have defeated the Bruins in Los Angeles in 47 tries.
Prior to WSU, Bennett spent 35 plus years teaching the game of basketball to young men in the state of Wisconsin with high school coaching stops in towns like West Bend and Eau Claire and college jobs in Stevens Point, Green Bay and Madison.
The owner of a 467-273 (.631) overall mark in 25 plus years at the collegiate level, Bennett was 94-68 (.580) at Wisconsin from 1995-2000. He guided the Badgers to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 2000 Final Four, and one NIT bid. Prior to his arrival, Wisconsin had played in three NCAA Tournaments in 97 seasons.
Known throughout the basketball world as one of the game's pre-eminent defensive coaches, Bennett's Badgers led the Big Ten in scoring defense four straight seasons and finished among the top five nationally in that category three times.
Statistics, however, do not tell the entire story about Bennett. He is highly respected by his peers. During the 1998-99 season, Sports Illustrated polled 115 college basketball coaches and asked the question, "If you could only go to one coaching clinic, whose would it be?" Top four vote-getters were Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Rick Majerus, Dick Bennett and Bob Knight (then with Indiana).
When others speak of Bennett, the same words and phrases are repeated...humble, passionate, intense, tough, competitive, fundamentally sound, a great teacher.
Bennett has passed along his knowledge of the game to others in his family. Daughter Kathi is the head women's basketball coach at Indiana and son Tony is WSU's associate head coach after a stint with Wisconsin. Dick's younger brother Jack is a successful head coach at Wisconsin-Stevens Point, including a 2004 NCAA Division III national championship.
The success of Bennett's teams over the years is the result of taking care of the basketball, working for good shots and playing hard-nosed, team defense. The best of Bennett's players are not necessarily spectacular, but rather dependable, fundamentally sound, intense and mentally tough.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., Bennett began his collegiate coaching career at Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1976 after 11 seasons in the Wisconsin prep ranks. As a high school coach, Bennett won 168 games and guided Eau Claire Memorial to a 22-3 mark and a runner-up finish at the State tournament during the 1975-76 season.
Bennett spent nine seasons at UW-Stevens Point and racked up 173 wins. During his final three seasons (1982-85), the Pointers were a combined 79-13. He was named NAIA Coach of the Year after leading the 1983-84 squad to a 28-4 record and national runner-up finish. Bennett was named Wisconsin State University Conference Coach of the Year in 1982 and 1985, as well as NAIA District IV and NAIA Area IV Coach of the Year in 1985.
The Ripon College graduate moved into the Division I ranks at Wisconsin-Green Bay prior to the 1985-86 season. He inherited a team that was 4-24 the year before he arrived and produced a winning record (15-14) in just his second season. Three years later, Bennett earned the 1990 Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year award after leading the Phoenix to a 24-8 mark and the second round of the NIT.
The following season, led by son Tony, the Phoenix rolled to a 24-7 record and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament, losing 60-58 to Michigan State in the first round. During the 1991-92 campaign, UW-Green Bay went 25-5 and won its first regular season conference title. Bennett was named Mid-Continent Conference and NABC District 11 Coach of the Year.
After a rebuilding season, Bennett guided the Phoenix to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments. The 1993-94 squad was 27-7, won the conference title and shocked the college basketball world with a first round NCAA Tournament win over 16th-ranked California, which was led by Jason Kidd and Lamond Murray. Bennett was tabbed NABC District 11 and Basketball Times Midwest Coach of the Year. In his final year with the Phoenix, Bennett returned to the NCAA Tournament before losing to Big Ten champion Purdue 49-48 to close out a 22-8 season.
At Wisconsin, Bennett's highlights included consecutive 22-win seasons in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. No Badger teams prior had posted a 20-win season. The 1999-2000 season was magical. The Badgers were 13-12 in February, then won nine of their final 11 games to reach the Final Four. Playing the most difficult schedule in the nation according to the Sagarin Ratings, Wisconsin defeated a school-record eight nationally ranked opponents during its march to Indianapolis.
Bennett and his wife Anne have three grown children, Kathi, Amy and Tony and six grandchildren.

When we reported on January 30 that Celebrity had chartered the March 8 - 15, 2009 Celebrity Solstice sailing to Atlantis Events -- pulling the rug out from under any already booked guests -- Celebrity at first denied the reports.
The charter is now official, however, and Celebrity has announced that passengers already booked on the sailing, including a Cruise Critic member group, will have several options.
First off, Celebrity is giving booked passengers (who've made deposits) the chance to switch to another Celebrity Solstice sailing departing between February 1 and March 29, 2009, with like category staterooms at the lowest available rate. All sailings are seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruises, roundtrip Ft. Lauderdale. The ability to swap cruises is, however, subject to availability.
For the inconvenience, passengers who rebook on another sailing will receive $200 per stateroom onboard credit for inside, oceanview and balcony cabins; and $400 per stateroom credit for suites.
Note: Third and fourth passengers in a stateroom are not eligible for onboard credits.
If you can't manage to rearrange your travel plans (families on spring break cruises?) Celebrity will issue a full refund for amount paid.
Celebrity's Web site still lists the old cruise, departing March 8 with the original Eastern Caribbean itinerary, but the dates and pricing section shows all cabin categories as sold out. Departures leaving March 1 and March 15, however, are still available in every category.
Though unfortunate, chartering ships -- after cruise lines have already opened up bookings to the public -- is somewhat common practice, and something the lines mention may happen in the fine print. Both Holland America, with an October 18 sailing aboard the upcoming Eurodam, and Royal Caribbean, who chartered Freedom of the Seas for a Nickelodeon cruise this summer, have had to inform guests that they had been booted from said sailings. Needless to say, members on our message boards were not pleased.
Stay tuned for an upcoming feature on cruise ship charters.

Sample Chapter
The Land of Golden Sunshine
An Allegory of Soul-Yearning
by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)
Chapter One
The November wind-hordes camped
Outside the tensely waiting city.
For a few days their scouts—
Dark, lowering giants from the north—
Roamed the skies restlessly overhead,
Searching out every weakness
In the city's defenses.
Shrill-laughing eddies of wind
Reveled riotously through the forest,
Toasting their coming victory
With back-slapping gusts,
While drunken flurries of dust
Caroused through the coarse meadow grasses,
Chanting wildly of warfare
And of cruel conquest.
At last, worked up
Into a destructive fury,
The invaders swept,
Shouting, through the city,
Swinging sharp, icy blades that bit deep
Into the flesh of the inhabitants.
These helpless unfortunates
Huddles in little groups
On street corners.
Through chattering teeth
They passed comments fearfully
On the days ahead—
Words which the wind-hordes took up
And tossed mockingly from group to group.
Then, suddenly, the invaders were gone.
The city dwellers glanced up in relief
At a cloudless sky, and prayed
That they might enjoy yet a few more days
Of the fast-dwindling warmth.
A week passed.
Then a fresh host appeared from the north—
Wilder, more savage than the first.
Drunk with the lust for conquest
(Though the city cowered already
In abject submission)
The new wave of barbarians swept howling
Through the unresisting streets,
Destroying everywhere.
Then, quite as suddenly—
They, too, were gone.
And so the month of November passed.
And the city's inhabitants knew
That every fresh wave from the north
Brought them closer and closer
To the triumphal entry of
The Snow-Earl,
And they were afraid.

I'm pretty irked right now. In a world where most transactions are done with cards instead of cash, why don't places get it?
Maybe three weeks ago our grocery store couldn't figure out how to make a imprint of my card when the stripe didn't work. 2 cashiers, the cashier super, and finally the assistant manager were dumfounded. As the line behind me grew, I finally used my cel phone to make the impression. Seriously, it's just carbonless carbon paper.
Just now, I left a computer store (MicroCenter in Madison Hts, MI) without the almost $200 worth of stuff I wanted because the cashier said they couldn't type the digits. She wanted me to use a different card. I wanted to use my bank card, not a credit card. I'm writing an email to corporate.
a) They've done it before with other cards
b) What do they win by refusing? They lost $200 today, and I might be PO'd enough to never go back.

Beating the odds
With a family history of strokes and heart attacks, Londoner Jeffrey Reed knew he was dealt a challenging hand of genetic cards. (CRAIG GLOVER, The London Free Press)
With a family history of strokes and heart attacks, Londoner Jeffrey Reed knew he was dealt a challenging hand of genetic cards. The rehab he received after a stroke in 2003 has helped him avoid another.
--- --- ---
He ignored the triple vision and racing heart as he crawled up the stairs of his London home, trying to convince himself that at age 41 he had not just suffered a stroke.
But brain scans would confirm what Jeffrey Reed didn't want to believe.
The freelance writer and former semi-pro baseball player always knew he had been dealt a challenging hand of genetic cards. His father, both grandfathers and an uncle all suffered strokes or heart attacks.
But it wasn't until genetics caught up with Reed in 2003 that he started to understand what he needed to do.
"That was a wake-up call. If I didn't do something, I wouldn't be around to enjoy life."
That need to make change is what drives Neville Suskin, medical director at St. Joseph Health Care's cardiac rehabilitation program.
Rehab improves survival by as much as 25%, but there's not enough funding to help all who need it.
"There are simply not enough programs, and they should be a funded part of the health-care system. They are not and they should be," Suskin said.
More people are surviving heart attacks and strokes, but they need help to try to avoid another. The cardiac rehab program gets $850,000 a year, enough to serve 30% to 50% of eligible patients.
That shortcoming across Canada is highlighted in the Heart and Stroke Foundation's 2014 Report on the Health of Canadians.
--- --- ---
- The Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation surveyed 2,000 survivors or loved ones on their behalf.
- Two-thirds thought they had a somewhat or very healthy lifestyle prior to their heart attack or stroke.
- Seven in 10 feel they live healthier since their heart attack or stroke, eating healthier, quitting smoking and drinking less alcohol.
- Biggest barrier to recovery was feeling goals were unrealistic or they lacked interest to make changes.
- Some struggled to be physically active, reduce stress and maintain a healthy weight. More than half couldn't maintain changes and others didn't try at all.
--- --- ---
- In the past 60 years, death rates from heart and stroke in Canada declined more than 75% with more than half that drop coming in the last decade.
- The survival rates for those who make it to hospital tops 90% for heart attack and 80% for stroke.
- There were 165,000 survivors in Canada last year.
--- --- ---
Canada's cardiovascular toll
- 350,000 hospitalized annually
- 50,000 new cases of heart failure, 70,000 heart attacks and 50,000 strokes each year.
- Heart disease and stroke are two of the three leading causes of death.
- Up to 80% of premature deaths are preventable.
- Nine in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke.
- Cardiac rehab improves survival by as much as 25%
- Only 37% of patients with moderate to severe stroke are discharged to a rehabilitation facility.
- London cardiac rehab program sees between 30% and 50% of eligible patients.

The Kepler architecture introduces texture objects, a new feature that makes textures easier to use and higher performance.
Texture References
Textures are likely a familiar concept to anyone who's done much CUDA programming. A feature from the graphics world, textures are images that are stretched, rotated and pasted on polygons to form the 3D graphics we are familiar with. Using textures for GPU computing has always been a pro tip for the CUDA programmer; they enable fast random access to arrays and use a cache to provide bandwidth aggregation. On the flip side, the legacy texture reference API is cumbersome to use because it requires manual binding and unbinding of texture references to memory addresses, as the following code demonstrates. Also, texture references can only be declared as static global variables and cannot be passed as function arguments. Continue reading

I really do not want to be hard on Microsoft regarding the only bit of relevant innovation in the past six years, but Microsoft Mesh outlines why Microsoft as a company is essentially, and for the lack of a better word, fucked. I am not sure if there is any other visual way to emphasize that so here is what I mean in the very cordial, proper English:
Microsoft Mesh is an online reporting, sync, management and access Web 2.0 framework and application from Microsoft. This amazing company, with billions of dollars invested in software creations supported and utilized by tens of thousands of partners worldwide has decided to scap all that and provide yet another incomplete synchronization framework to live in complete void of all its desktop applications existing sync features. I suppose the sync, presence, and access in Grove, SharePoint, Outlook, DFS, ActiveSync, Exchange ActiveSync, Live.com Office Live, FolderShare, Spaces, Live Messenger and Office Communicator was just too perfect that it needed no improvement, but a better way of unintegrated document-based sync was neccessary.
This from a company whose new slogan is "Better Together"?
Dear Steve, this is why your partners are abandoning your platform.
At the most senior levels of your company, Ray Ozzie & Co, you have no vision. You have what I can best describe as Schizophrenia, a confused company with no control over its creations and a new direction with each passing day. It demonstrates a core Microsoft frustration that partners, developers and now even customers are avoiding Microsoft for:
Series of incomplete and incoherent solutions for general information technology use.
Series of incomplete and incoherent solutions for general information technology use.
Be it product development, where one product team does not interact with another product team even if they are on the same product group, or in licensing where we have half a dozen licensing options for the desktop OS alone, Microsoft is making a loud and clear message that it has lost cohesion of its solutions and even it does not know anymore who and what it is competing against.
Hint: It is Google. It's Apple. I sell your software and solutions, Apple and Google are the solutions your potential customers are comparing you against. But for both Apple and Google, even though products are clearly in Beta stages at best, they at least play well together and have an integrated purpose in the platform. Microsoft does not.
Over the past two years Microsoft has become a mee-too company, imploding on its size and ambition, focused on "competing" with it's partners and not on what the customers actually need and ask. While I appreciate the 300 brand logos you can put on a "FY Shipping Schedule" PowerPoints, as they indicate a variety growth and opportunity, to me and to my customers they paint a portrait of a company that has no vision but a collection of overambitious middle managers and a fear based direction influenced by the competition that is clearly outinnovating Microsoft.
I wish for your sake, and the sake of people that still have any hope for Microsoft, you remember that its really about pleasing the customer and providing open and integrated solutions, not about trying to dominate the world one competitive response at a time. Your customers already bought the software, how about focusing on improving those products instead of throwing 5 hippies and 95 B2 Indians in a bucket and cranking out logos and solutions that are clearly against even your own best interests.
Irony here is that DOJ wanted to split Microsoft into Applications and OS businesses. Who knew that Microsoft would crumble on its own due to the lack of leadership and direction. Dear Steve, "we will compete" is not a vision, it appears to be your doom.
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
Comments are closed.
Most scathing and accurate post yet. Congrats. Customers really don't want to use Apple or Google. They really don't want to change. They like the comfy place they are in. They just don't want to be left out of the web. Microsoft has the power to fail and the power to succeed. Intregrate the web into the existing products and the "competition" can only collapse. Don't give us a more confusing array of choices.
So when should we expect Mr. Ballmer's response?
As soon as he reads this blog… never.
For those of us that actually like Microsoft, this is an ugly turn of events.. just going through some blog emails about this topic, someone called it:
"Microsoft Mess"
Hey Vlad, I think Microsoft is swimming in the Red Ocean, focusing on competing and less on innovation. I am not sure if you have read Blue Ocean Strategy, maybe it needs to be a mandatory read at Microsoft. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the taste of the KoolAid, it allows me to have a have decent living. However, my team and my employees and all the partners out there can have a much higher standard of living if we can all swim in the blue ocean together.
This is why I stick with Research in Motion over Windows Mobile…
Have a great day
Stuart Crawford
Calgary, AB
Gee, Vlad, tell us what you *really* think
[…] my words, it will not be. It too will be set up for failure. In addition to the "what the heck is that?" that we're having to deal with in the marketplace is the huge annoyance of what this […]
[…] – man, you made it tough. As much as I would love to give out Mesh to someone who wants to prove Vlad wrong, I feel that some of these guys made a better overall case as to why they wanted to test out […]
[…] My friend Vlad remembers eBay invites going for $20 on eBay. He will be happy to know that we're not there yet with Mesh (because he thinks Mesh will doom Microsoft). […]
hope you can make it to PDC08 Vlad

Men's Swim Team Defeats Boston College
Jan. 25, 2004
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts men's swimming and diving team won its dual meet with Boston College on Saturday, 197-101. The Minutemen took 13 of the 16 total events in the victory.
Leading the way for the men's team was freshman Evan Swisher (N. Bennington, Vt.), who took top honors in three events. Swisher won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 53.32 and the 200-yard backstroke with a mark of 1:52.76. He then went on to post a time of 1:58.51 in the 200-yard IM, also good for first place. Swisher also swam the first leg on the winning 200-yard medley relay team. Freshman Greg Chartier (Amherst, Mass.) also posted multiple wins, taking first-place honors in the 500-yard freestyle and the 1000-yard free, with respective times of 4:51.23 and 10:02.58. Other swimmers posting Minuteman victories were junior Owen Scollan (Lowell, Mass.) in the 200-yard free (1:47.24), junior Dylan Smith (Timonium, Md.) in the 100-yard fly (52.75), junior Justin Zeimetz (Rochester, N.H.) in the 50-yard free (22.03) and freshman Jake Hogue (Grand Junction, Colo.) in the 200-yard breast (2:12.60). Smith also swam the third leg on the winning 200-yard medley relay team, while Zeimetz anchored the winning 400-yard freestyle team.
In the diving events, senior Logan Alomar (Silver Spring, Md.) and junior Brandon Doane (Danvers, Mass.) each won one event, and took second in the other. Alomar won the one-meter dive with a score of 294.97, then took second in the three-meter dive with a mark of 290.25. Doane won the three-meter with a score of 298.50, while taking second in the one-meter with a mark of 276.97.
The UMass men's swimming and diving team will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 31, as they host Fordham at Joseph R. Rogers, Jr. pool in Boyden Gymnasium. The meet begins at 1:00 p.m.

Do you have a passion for cycling? And are you a foodie? If so, you should know about an upcoming chance to bike your way across the Italian island of Sardinia with a James Beard award-winning celebrity chef. During the week-long trip you'll pedal over 185 miles while delighting your palate with handmade pastas, Seada cake, local cheeses, cured meats and regional wines.
Offered by Italian cycling specialist Ciclismo Classico, the Sardinia tour is set for this coming Sept. 30 through Oct. 6. It starts in the western city of Tresnuraghes and winds through areas still untouched by tourism to the center of the island. From there, riders will pedal to a coastal area filled will lagoons and flamingos, and then explore the long sandy beaches of the Sinis peninsula.
Among highlights of the tour will be visits to the ancient Phoenician and Roman cities of Tharros and Nora and to old mining towns.
"You'll discover the archaeological site of Barumini, explore Montiferru pastures and olive oil groves, and pedal along the twisting coastal road of south Sardinia and its beaches," notes Ciclismo Classico founder Lauren Hefferon.
Hosting the tour will be master chef and cyclist Jody Adams, the creative visionary behind two of Massachusetts' top restaurants: Rialto (rated by Gourmet Magazine as "one of the world's best hotel restaurants") and TRADE.
The tour includes several informal cooking demonstrations with Adams, a cheese-making activity with local shepherds, Malvasia wine-tasting and a special dinner prepared by Adams at Villa Asfodeli.
Cost of the tour is $5,395 per person. Just about everything you'll need is included in the tab, including your bike and accommodations, but you'll have to get to Sardinia and back home on your own.
Founded as a cycling tour operator in Italy in 1988, Ciclismo Classico has since expanded its tours to a number of other European countries and Vietnam. The company's motto is, "Pedal your passion."

Been to the 2 day course with my wife. Both loved it. Would like to go to the 4 day course. My wife wants to return as well.
Alot of opinions from folks that haven't been there - They are worth exactly what you paid for them. IMHO.
Been there 3 times for 4 day handgun course, once with my ex-wife. Every time has been excellent. Electronic ears are the only way to go and be prepared to drink a lot of water/gatorade it is really easy to get dehydrated although they will constantly remind you to drink. I bought one of the cheaper lifetime memberships and think it was a good investment. Also agree on Best Western as the place to stay. Will be going back later this year.
Go for it and enjoy. I did the 4 day defensive handgun. They do have sales pitches but not overdone and if you are a returning student, they are not mandatory and they were only for training- I saw a model of the proposed development but don't think I ever heard it mentioned. I get way to much email from them but I get that from the NRA too. This latest offer for lifetime membership is a good deal if you want to go more than once or twice. Is there better training? Maybe- I havent been to any of those so can't say. Was this training everything I expected? That and more. Don't know the Dr- never met him but he has assembled a great bunch of instructors and has a really cool facility to train at.
I'm wondering if anyone who as been to any other kind of weapons class would care to speak of the relative merits of Front Site.
The guys I talk to who have never attended a class before tend to think it's great.
The guys I talk to who've been to other training think it's mediocre at best.
I would really like to hear more feedback from folks experienced with carbine and pistol training in other places' opinion on Front Site.
Do they make you purchase their ammo, and is their price reasonable?
You can get better prices on courses if you sign up for their newsletter.
Sorry the link didnt work it did on the original post. The comments about the training were good the only negative was about the sales pitch on the memberships which is what got him banned. For basic firearms training it may be a good place to go. I have trained at the Crucible and other speciality training so I do not know what they could offer that I would like.
As I keep saying any training is good training as long as you can seperate the good subject matter from the bad.
As a general rule anytime a school or instructor says unless you use this gun, technique, style, bullet type or whatever you are wrong and will die because you dont do it like me I tend to avoid because you cannot choose the time or place you have to use your weapon or the weapon or bullet you want. I am very proficient with whatever weapon I am using at the time instead of the expert of one gun that I will not have when I need it.
Remember there is a difference between carrying a firearm and being a good shooter and being able to fight with a firearm when the conditions are not ideal or the target is shooting back.
Sorry my bad. It was only for two days. My father got a first family cert form someone. THANK GOD, cause i wouldnt spend a freakin' dollar for that place! Im sorry, everyone has thier own shooting style but thier "weve tried it everyway possible and this is the best" bullcrap... Of all things the line coach kept tell me i reholster to fast. "you need to slow down one your holstering", he said...yeah well i know how to find my holster so im good thanks. It was basic ccw 8hr class stuff, and a bunch of tall tales. anyway, it was a watse of fuel and hotel bill. didnt learn a thing.... It was dumb. OH and the "focus on teh front sight, thats all that matters. why you think we call this place that" What? Really? Wow.....
Yep, should have warned you about that. They do insist that everyone do things the same way, at least for the first day or two. If you would have taken the 4-day class you would have seen them loosen up some as the instructors got more confident of everyone. It's a safety thing. They have people with all different skill levels (although most are not very experienced) and they are able to maintain the safety aspect better if everyone is doing the same thing for the first day or two.
The "slowly, reluctantly reholster" is very much a safety thing. It allows you to feel any resistance such as part of your shirttail or a thumb break or anything that might catch on the trigger. If you jam it in fast, there is more potential for something to cause the trigger to be depressed. Slowly reholstering is not a bad habit to get into.
I've not heard anything positive about front sight, ever. Some very good shooters I know have called it a daycare for shooters. I've also had people tell me that the techniques they instill are, by and large, crap.
Also, I have heard nothing but bad about Piazza as a person. And I say this all because I would not consider wasting my money on front sight, so they can read this email and deny me entry to their craptacular programs all they wish.
I concur with hayzor. The Front Sight training is far and above the standard 8hr AZ CCW class.
I've got no problem with them instilling the habit of a slow, deliberate reholster. That's where accidents happen. No reason to slam it in too fast. But, if that's not your style, then that's fine.
I've just returned from my second trip to Front Sight. I learned a little more this time. Since I was a return student, I didn't have to attend the lectures and got some 1 on 1 time with the range instructors. It was very helpful.
In my critique notes, at the end of the class, I wrote that they didn't stress 'focus on the front sight' enough! Maybe super-duper advanced shooters don't need to be reminded, but I felt like I needed to hear it.
Cut 'em some slack, they're dealing with a variety of shooters and their experience.
Pistolero? Hahaha No. If you dont want to shoot with me because it DOESNT take me 10 min to put my weapon back in the rig with 5 crisp steps then thats fine with me. My attitude? My attitude is fine sir, how is yours? Why do i compare it to an 8hr ccw class? Becasue thats what they taught. I sat through 2 days of material that i learned in class for my ccw and Az gaurd cards. I mean thats even what the instructor said! I mean had i know i would have told dad to sell off that Cert and make some money.
asmkillr323, you are dead on. Unless you fork out tons of cash to retake classes or take the more pricey advanced drills class form the start, your better off just going to a ccw class and THEN if you want to be a better shooter....TRAIN! Get with someone (never shoot alone cause THATS WHEN accedents can happen) and train. Train like you are going to be shooting for life or death tomarrow. I dont know, i guess because of watching the vids and looking at the fliers made it looked exciting and more intense, i was just expecting more out of it and it never came. Even some of the attitude of the staff sucked. Just the way some of the belittled you is lame. So yeah asmkillr, its like a babysitters for shooter.

Okay this is pretty much a thread for shaderED and ShaderED2 errors and a how to use. I like it because it shows how shaders will actually look animated.
ShaderED2 errors:
I just got an email back from James Munroe lead designer for RAVENSOFT. He states that an "unexpected token" is usually a typo.
If the last shader is not closed {} when the next one opens you will get a nested stage.
Now does anyone here know how to get the proper spacing in between lines other than the space bar? I do notice some different characters in some default shaders other than the norm.
Also I know AstroCreeps "Clean Shaders" look funny because he used a different editor to make them.
Open up the "clean shaders" in wordpad first form what somebody said before. I just extract the shaders from the assets and I make my own shader list. I'd rather have them exactly the way they are in the pk3s.
Try counting the numbers of { and the number of } and make sure they match up, otherwise you're going to get all sorts of funny errors.
Also, make sure that you're using the latest version of shaderED - if you're still using the one that came with the JO SDK then there a lot of features missing (GLOW being one) that the JO version doesn't like.
Finally, as mentioned in a separate post, a lot of new features are being written into q3map2 all the time and shaderED2 hasn't had time to catch up. Make sure that if you're using these new features, add them through notepad AFTER editing the shader in shaderED or the editor will remove them from your shader script.
EDIT: Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have the source for shaderED released? That way, when we get new features added through the compiler, we'll be able to add them to the Editor.
Just saw your edit, Codja...and yes it would be, but do we know what it was programmed in?
And as a lot of people like to do it "raw", as they say, would we be able to find enough people to work on it?
It's just going to have to be a matter of learning the skills to build up an 8 stage flourescant, translucent, animated, scrolling, environment mapped, bump-mapped and specular highlighted shader (that's interactive!).
It's not too much of a problem though - you can do the bulk of what you need in shadered and if you want to try out the new advanced features, the chances are you'll know how to work shaders in notepad anyway.
I think the coding forum has plenty of scripting and shader questions answered, although shaders cover mapping, modelling AND coding. Perhaps a specific shader forum should be created?
Possibly and possibly not. I've always thought a separate SCRIPTING forum should be created, but SCRIPTING and SHADERS are directly MAP related, well, you can use shaders on models, but still.
Codja, you could always contact the original makers of ShaderEd and see if they're planning on updating it and if not, if they could release the source code. To be honest, as they give us quite a bit of freedom with mapping, scripting and stuff, there is no really good reason why they shouldn't say yes, so long as they get the credits and stuff.
OpenSource ShaderEd? We could always START a project...
[edit] I just thought that this is a real possibility. I do have an old version of Delphi (can't afford to upgrade) which WOULD suffice, but I'd need a great lot of help. And my map-learning would suffer. But it's an idea, if there's enough support. Plus I'd have to learn a whole load of Delphi stuff again, unless we could somehow do a web-based one? Just throwing ideas around here...
*bumps this so Codja sees it's been updated* ;)
I'll delete this post tomorrow when I log on :)
Is ShaderED written by Raven Software? If that's the case then I think it's highly unlikely they'll update it again, being as they've moved onto the Doom3 engine.
Plus it would require them liasing with Ydnar to see what features have been added and that's not going to happen.
Also, the word "project" really does chill me to the bones. Project = work. I'm all for bring ShaderED into our community, but it really would be a LOT of work and I don't i'd be able to contribute anything to it, being as I find programming as dry as bone.
If the source for it was to be released though, i'm fairly sure we'd get plenty of updates from some enterprising coder (perhaps yourself Mr. Vogel). Ydnar could carry on updating q3map2 and whoever is doing the updates could just add them as they come along.
It would be a hell of a lot of work though - demands from angry mappers to fix/update things, knowledge of openGL, video card drivers, whatever programming language.
However, there has to be demand for this to happen. If no-one is bothered about this, then it's not going to happen.
Also, the time constraits - mapping is just a hobby for me and I only get an hour here or there a week to do it. A full project like this wouldn't be fun for me.
It is a VERY good idea though. Ydnar did it for the original q3map compiler. If you can get this project off the ground then i'm sure you'll have nothing but complete support as shaderED works for ALL q3 engined games.
Seen as I always like community projects I'd love to help code a new shadered or work on the source of the original. I can do Visual Basic very well and can do C++ at a more basic level.
I'd recommend (even though it's not as efficient OOB) that using Visual Basic would be the best way to get people interested as VB is so easy to learn.
Then again I'd recommend C++ to get the game programmers involved as games nearly always use C and it's good on your CV...but as you said you probably won't get the shader-experienced people being too bothered because they use notepad!
Well, whatever happens, I think this may need a new thread.
There are going to have to be a lot of points to be considered even before this project gets off the ground such as:
1) Can we obtain the source code?
2) What language will it be in, failing not being able to obtain source code?
3) Copyright and legality infringements - these need to be sorted out
4) Contact with Ydnar regarding the implementation and integration of new features.
5) Recruitment of people who can actually do this
6) Setting up and getting a homepage for this (jediknight.net?)
7) How to expand and improve the original
8) Multi-game support
9) Name of project and application (Open ShaderED project, to steal a name of another recently setup project)
(Note: not in any particular order)
There are probably a lot more questions that need to be asked and answered, but I can't think of anymore off the top of my head....
Regarding point 1, it may be best if a team and a homepage is assembled 1st, so when submitting a request to Raven for the code, it'll make it a lot more legitimate and professional
Wade is correct of course, VB IS the easiest to learn, but it's also NOT cheap to get a hold of and I don't have it any more :(
I'm not the best at professional e-mails as I only have to do them VERY occasionally, but maybe someone could contact Raven or ID for a start and just see the chances of obtaining the source code.
As I said, I can't think of a DECENT reason they should say no, especially as they're unlikely to upgrade it themselves.

UPDATED **Q&A with the Naughty Dog Developmen
[ Edited ]
t Team: February Edition**
Welcome to the February Edition of this monthly Q&A thread!
If you have some questions that you would like to ask Naughty Dog then here is your opportunity to ask them!
Up until about the 10th of February you will be able to post your questions regarding the Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience here in this thread. Usually 10 questions from this thread will be selected and answered by the Naughty Dog Development Team.
Once the replies are ready they will be posted in this thread for your perusal. What would you like to ask Naughty Dog this month?
Please post one question per reply so that it is clear which questions are receiving the most kudos. If your reply contains more than one question or if you post multiple replies in a row then the Naughty Dog Development Team will ignore your questions.
"Will you keep supporting U3 after TLoU releases?" – renatabls
Absolutely, just check out the Lab Calendar on your stats page. We have more Block Mesh Lab Maps that will likely arrive after TLOU releases. We'll be changing things around and continuing to support Uncharted 3 for as long as possible. We love seeing all the strong community and player involvement and want it to flourish.
"Is there something that you learned from this Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience that influenced The Last of Us multiplayer as well, making it a bit more balanced and better planned?" – Luxis
We learned a ton about multiplayer from Uncharted 3 and we're taking all those lessons into multiplayer for The Last of Us. Once we reveal what The Last of Us multiplayer is you'll see some of those ideas and that learning.
"How difficult is it to patch/fix something, I'm not asking in a snide matter I honestly want to know" - JayJay2515
It all depends on what that something is. A patch is never just a simple fix. Every change to the game will affect another aspect of the game. There are technical issues that can arise. There are memory issues that can arise. You always need time to test and re-test and test again to make it runs as smoothly as possible before releasing something public.
"Can we have more frequent rare treasure drop weekends? One weekend of every month or 2 months perhaps?" - awsome_robot
We are trying to keep a balance of maintaining that certain treasures are truly rare along with giving people the ability to earn them. We will be adding more rare treasure drop events and weekends in the coming months.
"Have you guys ever considered changing some of the Power Plays in TDM, specifically Marked Man?" - StardustSpeedway
The Power Plays are meant to give distinct advantages during gameplay. We evaluated what works best for the match types and feel we have a good set in place. We will continue to monitor the balance of this.
"Can you please change ( tone down ) the recoil for at least all the rifles in UC3 MP to near the levels of UC3 campaign, and re-implement the "burst" mechanic in the MP along with some explanations for your responses?" - B_Smiley
We went through a lot of tuning of the experience of shooting guns in multiplayer and continue to refine it. We feel the recoil works well to serve the multiplayer and its gameplay. The burst mechanic was tweaked due to player exploitation. We feel this is more balanced now as well.
"Scoped In Gold still gives minimal pain wobble, despite the description for Gold saying that there's no pain wobble. Will this be fixed?" – TeabagMcFrag
We will look into this and see if it's something we can fix.
"Do you have any jobs going?" - AliMakaveli
All the time! We're looking for the best of the best. Look here: Naughty Dog careers.
"Can you explain in thorough detail how exactly does the host selection algorithm work? Which criteria do you use?" - tapantaola
We're not explaining this publically. It's something we don't want to be exploited.
"Why won't you guys drop the price on your over priced Maps Packs??" - wycliff_12
We plan to have price breaks, discounts, sales, and other deals coming for the Map Packs in the future.

Re: **Q&A with the Naughty Dog Developmen
[ Edited ]
t Team: February Edition**
The recoil system in UC3 mp is very harsh and un-friendly for veterans and newbies alike. It made aiming a lot more frustrating, and gunfights became more based on luck than precision. In addition, the "burst" mechanic for the automatics was dropped ( intentionally or unintentionally ) in UC3 mp while it exists in UC2 and UC3 campaign.
Please refer to this post for some explanation on the "burst" mechanic:
So, Can you please change ( tone down ) the recoil for at least all the rifles in UC3 MP to near the levels of UC3 campaign, and re-implement the "burst" mechanic in the MP along with some explanations for your responses ?
Re: **Q&A with the Naughty Dog Developmen
t Team: February Edition**
Scoped In Gold still gives minimal pain wobble, despite the description for Gold saying that there's no pain wobble. Will this be fixed?
Re: **Q&A with the Naughty Dog Developmen
t Team: February Edition**
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii eric. Normally, I'd ask one of my troll questions like How are Pogo and Trumpet doing, what does Cog like to eat, etc. but I thought I'd try something normal this time.
Will the next patch eliminate the Airwalk and Dead Body glitches, as well as include some new colors?
Re: **Q&A with the Naughty Dog Developmen
t Team: February Edition**
Do you have any jobs going?
I want to work in the Co-op ideas/fixes department.
Willing to work on minimum wage if needs be.

Processing Incoming Attributes with OIF / SP
By Damien Carru-Oracle on Apr 18, 2014
When OIF acts as a Service Provider, it:
- Validates the incoming SSO response from the IdP
- Maps the SSO response to an LDAP user record
- Extracts the user identifier and optional attributes contained in the SSO response and stores them in the OAM session.
Those attributes stored in the OAM session can later be used:
- In Authorization Policies, where the conditions/rules will evaluate the attributes in the OAM session
- As Policy Responses to provide those attributes to web applications protected by WebGate/OAM, as HTTP Headers or cookies
In this article, I will discuss how OIF acting as a Service Provider can be configured to:
- Process attributes contained in an incoming SAML Assertion or OpenID SSO Response to map the names of incoming attributes to local names.
- Request attributes from the OP via the OpenID protocol (SAML does not provide a way for SPs at runtime to request attributes from the IdP during a Federation SSO operation)

Shasta Lake levels are rising, but officials say it's not nearly enough to combat the drought.
As of Friday, water levels are less than 100 feet below the crest of the dam.
Run-off is pouring in to the lake, pushing levels up more than 22 feet this month and storing an additional 382,000 acre-feet behind the dam. The level is up 36 feet since the beginning of the year, covering many objects once exposed because of the drought.
Sheri Harral, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Reclamation, said they usually get 8 to 9 inches of rain at the dam in March; this year they've gotten more than 13 inches.
That's still not enough.
"We're feeling better, but we're certainly not out of the woods," said Harral. "We've only gotten half the amount of rainfall we normally get during our winter months."
The extra rain is still a good thing, especially for the agricultural community.
Harral said water allotments should be bumped up when they're updated in mid-April.
A spring rain is also better than a wet autumn because it allows farmers to use less water for the start of growing season if the ground is already damp.
"Everything is saturated and the soil's nice and wet," said Harral. "As far as growing things, [farmers] don't need to start their irrigation as early, so the later we get rain the better."

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Pretty 4ever features lovely women from Russia who enjoy posing very seductively in high quality photos and video shoots. $24.95 gives you access to the current archive of more than 565 image sets and 132 videos, all of which are exclusive to the site. These are fresh-faced, beautiful Russian girls in nude spreads in a variety of locations. The content itself is very high quality but unfortunately updates aren't coming in quite as often as one would hope for these days.
Original Content.
All of the content here is shot exclusively for this site. The 131 models featured give a taste of the type of beauty that can be found from young Russian girls, apparently. A variety of locations are used to keep the content fresh, all the girls are young natural amateurs and scenes feature mostly nude posing with a few spreads to round it all out. This is about young Russian beauty, the sexual fantasy and how it carries out is up to you.
High-res Images & HD Quality Videos.
These are some excellent-looking scenes. Images are offered in sizes as large as 4368p! Videos play at 5000k and are available in sizes up to 1440x1088 for the latest clips. You can easily fill your screen with these super sharp scenes.
Of course, not only are they technically great, but they're really well-produced, as well. They choose beautiful locations and models and attention is paid to every detail for all-around great-looking content.
Other Good Stuff:
No Model Information or Any Other Extras.
These aren't the type of solo nude sites that allow access to the girls. Other than their name and a few other basic stats, you are given no other information & there is no way to browse them by these specifics. No info about the scenes is given either. For such a softcore photography site with a focus on the girls, Pretty For Ever is missing a sense of personality that you would expect from a solo model site.
Browse/Viewing Options Could be Expanded.
While I appreciate the professional design and plentiful download options, missing for me was in-browser streaming for the videos and the ability to browse through the content using keyword, cross-linked tags or content categories, multiple search filters, etc.
Downloads Are Slow.
For me, I never reached a download speed above 900k with just single channel capability. This makes viewing these download-only videos feel somewhat like a chore considering the wait time.
Minor Negatives:
Pretty models in HQ content but slow on the updates & download speeds.
A couple of things here I really enjoyed were the fresh faced Russian models, the overall aesthetically pleasing site design and the quality of the content. While there are more than 33,000 images, 133 videos and 131 models being featured, the current lack of updates is somewhat disappointing. Also missing for me was a little bit more personality, model/scene info, and Flash streaming for the videos. Overall I enjoyed Pretty 4ever, but I'm not sure it will be a memorable standout in the long run.

This study was approved by the local institutional ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from all volunteers and patients. The objective of the present study was to assess the performance of high-spatial-resolution three-dimensional prospective cardiac-respiratory self-gated (CRSG) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for determining left ventricular (LV) volumes and mass, as well as right ventricular (RV) volumes, in comparison with standard electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered, two-dimensional multisection, multiple-breath-hold cine imaging. The self-gated method derives cardiac triggering and respiratory gating information prospectively on the basis of additional MR imaging signals acquired in every repetition time and, thereby, eliminates the need for ECG triggering and multiple-breath-hold procedures. Data were acquired in 15 healthy volunteers (mean age, 27.2 years +/- 7.2 [standard deviation]) and 11 patients (mean age, 60.7 years +/- 11.3). The bias between the self-gating and the reference imaging techniques was minimal for all LV and RV parameters (mean values: LV end-diastolic volume, 2.0 mL; LV end-systolic volume, 0.6 mL; RV end-diastolic volume, 2.2 mL; and RV end-systolic volume, 0.8 mL). Prospective CRSG is a valuable alternative to ECG-triggered, multisection, multiple-breath-hold cine imaging of the heart and holds considerable promise for simplifying functional imaging of the heart, particularly in patients who are unable to hold their breath for a long period and patients who show ECG signal disturbances.

Frank Rich: Balloon Dad Was Just Trying to Feed His Family
If Richard Heene didn't exist, we would have to invent him, or whatever.
In an op-ed titled "In Defense of the 'Balloon Boy' Dad" today, Frank Rich takes the rather inevitable knee-jerk-counterintuitive stance that we are all responsible for the Balloon Boy debacle, and that Richard Heene's actions were the natural result of our current culture:
"Heene is a direct descendant of those Americans of the Great Depression who fantasized, usually in vain, that they might find financial salvation if only they could grab a spotlight in show business."
Also, Heene is a carpenter, and he couldn't find work because people don't need carpenters right now! Because of foreclosures, and the economy. Okay, sure, why not? Fine. Oh, and he also says that everyone who watched that balloon on the news while it was in the air was hoping to see a 6-year-old die. (Happy Sunday, everyone!)

Hi there!
I am currently working on a graph problem where I need to assign to each vertex a unique value under some particular constraints (I cannot detail the problem because this work will be published). This problem can be formulated into an integer linear program. Now, I would like to design an efficient heuristic for solving this problem. I have already designed a greedy one which iteratively add constraints but I would like to improve it using simulated annealing for instance. However, I cannot always for instance swap two nodes in the graph due to the constraints on the nodes values. I have read some stuff about penalty methods for simulated annealing but I think that the solution is not guaranteed to be always feasible (w.r.t. to the constraints). At the end of my heuristic, the solution must be feasible but can be infeasible during the process.
Any idea about that?

First Prize for Realism 2002
- Nature's Glory
As the winner of your category in the 2002 International Art Contest,
being selected by such a diverse group of artists from all around the
world, how do you feel?
I feel stunned, extremely proud and very humbled! This is an honour that
I never expected considering the immense talent and the large number of
other artist's I was up against from all around the world.
I have only been painting professionally for 2 years and so want to
thank all those who voted for my painting, as well as the organisers of
this excellent contest, for giving me this wonderful opportunity to show
my work worldwide. I would also like to congratulate the other entrants
for the outstanding quality in their works and wish everyone "happy
painting" and a prosperous 2003.
Please describe your current works and any plans for forthcoming
Currently I'm concentrating on Waratah paintings for the Galleries that
I exhibit in and I'm also completing some commissions, as well as a
painting I'm donating to the Royal Australian Flying Doctor Service.
If any, in what ways have you seen changes in attitudes towards
Personally I feel that our modern world uses the word "Art" and the
title of "Artist" far too liberally and in doing so the traditional
"brush and paint" artists along with their mystique have somewhat been
lost in the mire... or am I being too old fashioned? Do you think a person
can call themselves an "Artist" when they claim an empty room to be a
"work of art"?
Of course this is just "my" opinion but I do find it rather sad and
quite frustrating!
Do you think that the fine artist will survive as technology replaces
our skills?
Most definitely, because I do not believe that technology could ever
replace or emulate the heart and soul of the human spirit. A painting
isn't just a picture like a photograph, no matter how realistic, it is a
part of the artist.
What advice could you give to those embarking upon a career as an
Considering that I have only been seriously painting for a few short
years, I think the most important advice I can give is... If painting is
your passion – follow it! I did, and although it was quite a gamble to
take, I know I will never regret it. And even though at times it can
seem like a very long and bumpy road, it is also an incredibly rewarding
one, especially when you see the pleasure and delight on a persons face
when they first see your paintings. To be an Artist is a true privilege,
because every day you are giving others the gift of seeing a part of the
world through your eyes, which they may never have noticed before. So
be brave, be bold, be patient and be true to yourself by painting what
is in your heart and never be deterred by criticism or set backs and
enjoy your paintings, because when you do, others will even more so.
Why did you enter the Art Dept contest and what decided your
selection for entry?
Quite honestly I entered the contest in the hope that it would lead
people to my website, which had only been online for a few months and in
that way get more exposure of my work out into the big wide world, which
to my immense amazement and pleasure is exactly what has happened.
I had not long completed "Waratah - Nature's Glory" when I learnt of the
contest and being quite happy with the paintings result decided to enter
Is there anything about being an artist that you do not like?
Other than the usual financial struggles with being an artist and the
occasional but very frustrating times when inspiration flies out the
window, I can honestly say that I really don't dislike any aspect of
being an artist. To me, being an Artist is "everything" and I truly love
what I do and I consider myself incredibly blessed and privileged to be
able to paint and bring pleasure to others through my work.
Would you sell your most favourite artwork, or keep it?
Since beginning my art career I have painted a few works that became,
for a variety of reasons very special to me, but due to the necessity of
the bank account staying out the "red" I have had to sell them. However
parting with these special paintings isn't too difficult because I know
that who ever has purchased it, has felt a connection with the work and
therefore I know the painting is being enjoyed and treasured.
However my most favourite and extremely precious painting has to be the
very first one I painted, back in 1994, through which I discovered my
passion. This humble little disaster of fabric paint on calico is now
framed and hangs proudly on my studio wall as a reminder of how and
where my career began.
How important was education and training to you?
Being a self taught Artist and only having had the most basic tutelage
in the "do's & don'ts" of oil painting I don't really think I'm
qualified to answer this question. However I will just say that for me
personally, reading books by other artist's on their techniques and
ideas and studying the old masters has been invaluable and I will always
continue to do so.
Is there anything in your art career that you would have changed?
Not really, except that I wish I had listened to my Mother years ago
when she would tell me how 'Artistic' I was, and started painting 15
years earlier than I did!
If you were invited overseas to exhibit your works, where would you
like that to be?
I have actually just recently been invited to exhibit my work in
Scotland at the wonderful "Syllavethy Gallery" near Aberdeen, which I am
delighted about and so will be sending some works to them in the very
near future.
I am happy for my work to be shown anywhere where there is genuine
appreciation for Fine Art.
Are you looking forward to entering the contest for next year?
Do you recommend use of the Internet for an artist's publicity?
Most definitely. My website has only been online for 10 months and the
difference it has made to my career is astounding. Not only is it easier
for me, no more lugging around of the bulky portfolio everywhere I go,
but it nicer for others as they can peruse the website at their leisure
and view my work without me hovering around.
It is also far more professional when approaching Galleries, in which
you'd like your work to be Exhibited, to simply give them a website
address rather than send a portfolio or a bunch of photographs for them
to see your work.
Believe me … technology will never surpass the Artist but it can
certainly assist them!
Would you change anything about how the contest is organised?
I don't believe so, as I found the site and information to be very well
organised and set out and had no problems when entering the competition.
The only thing I am disappointed about is that due to being away on
holidays I was unable to participate in this interview until a week
after the announcements of the winners was made and therefore wonder if
it would be possible for the Winners to be telephoned in the future.
How can the Internet be made better for working artists?
I believe it is up to the individual Artist to make the "Internet" work
for them.

Not to mention chicken farming and sewage (all coming up this week).
Many of you know me from Internet Evolution or SaaS in the Enterprise, or perhaps from the odd story published here (and I do mean odd). If I'm a stranger to you, here are some handy city facts about me:
I'm looking forward to bringing you stories direct from my home base in New York, a city which for most of its existence has been one of the world's premier crucibles for urban experimentation through its architectures, infrastructures, and startling diversity.
I'm looking to our excellent stable of contributors to paint a picture of international urbanism. We also need to take an increasingly imaginative look at cities yet to come -- cities of far-sighted planning and cities of dreams.
Does the future of cities lie in internationalist fantasies constructed practically ex nihilo, like Dubai or Masdar? Or does it lie in recovered and restored downtowns, like those of Chicago and Detroit, rich in the texture of history?
This journey is just beginning, and it's my privilege to invite you to join me.
— Kim Davis , Editor-in-Chief, UBM Future Cities

Softball Takes Two From St. Bonaventure
OLEAN, N.Y. - KJ Kelley was 4-for-4 with a RBI and on base all seven at bats to lead Massachusetts (24-12-1, 9-3 A-10) to a sweep of St. Bonaventure (10-17, 6-2), 9-1 and 7-1, on a cold and rainy afternoon at McGraw-Jennings Field. Hilary Puglia, Lauren Proctor and Denise Denis each had three hits for the Minutewomen. Puglia had a pair of home runs, one in each game. Denis reorded a single, double and triple in game one. UMass won the first game in six innings due to the mercy-rule. Game two was called after five because of the rain.
Laurie Stone gave the Bonnies a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game one with a two-out solo home run over the left-centerfield fence off of senior Barb LaFogg (Williamsburg, Mass.). The Minutewomen then exploded for six runs on five hits in the top of the second inning to take a 6-1 lead. Freshman Lauren Prcotor (Redmond, Wash.) started it by reaching on an error and advancing to second base. She then moved to third when freshman Stacy Cullington (Encinitas, Calif.) singled to left. After Cullington was lifted for freshman pinch runner Sarah Hurd (Warwick, R.I.), UMass tied the game on a double steal. The next two batters were retired, but UMass made the Bonnies pay for their error by scoring five runs after there were two outs and the inning should have been over.
Senior Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.) singled to left driving in Hurd and gave UMass a 2-1 lead. After Puglia stole second, she scored on a RBI single by sophomore Amanda Morin (Worcester, Mass.). Junior KJ Kelley (Rainier, Ore.) walked and then senior Denise Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) gave UMass a 4-1 lead with a two-run triple into the right-centerfield gap. The Minutewomen made it a 6-1 game with a RBI single off the bat of Proctor.
UMass loaded the bases with one out in the top of the fourth. Kelley singled to start it and then pinch runner Maggie Feix (North Kingstown, R.I.) moved to third base when Denis doubled to the right-centerfield gap. After senior Pam Sulick (Mission Viejo, Calif.) was hit, Proctor came up with the bases loaded and a chance to break the game wide open. Proctor lined out to Andrea Swanger at second base. Swanger then threw to third and caught Feix too far off the bag.
Puglia made it an 8-1 game in the fifth when she roped a two-run home run over the right-field fence. It was her seventh home run of the season. UMass then added the ninth run to enforce the mercy rule in the top of the sixth. Kelley led off with a ground-rule double to left field. She scored a couple of batters later when Proctor singled to left-center.
After the home run in the first, LaFogg cruised. She scattered five hits and did not walk a batter while fanning seven as she improved to 15-8 on the year. Morin's hit extended her hitting streak to a season-long 13 games. Denis was 3-for-4 with two RBI and was a home run away from hitting for the cycle. Puglia was also 2-for-4 with three RBI. Kelley, Proctor and Cullington also had two hits apiece in the game.
In game two, Morin singled with one out in the first inning to extend her hitting streak to 14 games. She scored on the next batter when Kelley roped a single to left. Lauren Krieger booted the ball and allowed Morin to score all the way from first giving the Minutewomen a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the first, junior Jenna Busa (Lexington, Mass.) worked around a leadoff walk and eventually struck out the side.
Puglia gave the Minutewomen a 3-0 lead in the second inning when she hit a two-out, two-run home run to right-center field. It scored sophomore Candice Molinari (Glendora, Calif.) who walked ahead of her. For Puglia, it was her eighth of the season tying Kelley for the team lead. In the top of the third, the Minutewomen loaded the bases with nobody out. Kelley, Denis and freshman Sarah Hurd (Warwick, R.I.) all walked. Hurd entered the game for Sulick after she was hit by a pitch in the first inning. Proctor made it a 5-0 game with a single up the middle. Cullington then drew a walk and as ball four went the back stop, Hurd was able to score the sixth UMass run. That would be all the Minutewomen runs in the inning as a caught stealing and double play on a line drive ended the threat.
Busa held the Bonnies hitless through three and a third innings, but Ashley Bonnetto reached on a swinging bunt to break up the no-hitter. There was an error before that which put runners on first and second. Ann Nagro then singled up the middle driving in St. Bonaventure's first run of the game. Busa then got two line outs and got out the inning without any more damage.
In the top of the fifth, Kelley led off with a walk and moved to second on an error by Nagro behind the plate. Denis then drew a walk and Kelley advanced to third on a wild pitch. Two more wild pitches gave UMass a 7-1 lead. Kelley was thrown out at home trying to score on a wild pitch, but Denis scored on a wild pitch one pitch later.
The game was then called after the end of the fifth inning due to rain. Busa allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks. She fanned six.
Massachusetts returns to action on Sunday, April 22, when it hosts North Carolina State for a doubleheader beginning at 12:00 PM. This marks the first team UMass has hosted from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Live stats for both games will be available through Gametracker on www.umassathletics.com.
