Technical Notes
The cool ocean air and abundant fog of Santa Barbara County allow Sauvignon Blanc grapes to ripen slowly and evenly while developing complex tropical flavors and crisp acidity. Our 2010 Sauvignon Blanc has pronounced aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit and fresh cut grass. On the palate, this distinctive .Our Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is nestled in Santa Barbara's rolling hills. Reductive style winemaking keeps the fresh, fruit-forward flavors of the grape intact during the winemaking process by keeping the juice void of oxygen exposure. 100% non-malolactic fermentation maintains the wine's delicate varietal flavors and crisp acidity. SeaGlass Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures to retain the grape's natural tropical flavors. The wine is bottled early and sealed with a Stelcap closure to preserve the wine's freshness.

New WP User here!
I am using the Twenty-ten theme and WP 3.1.1
1) The Default Template layout causes a bleed over of the Right side widgets into the Calendar space. Only way I can resolve this is to remove the widgets and that is anti-climactic. Is there any way to fix this?
2) Using ANY layout in this theme causes the "Month:" and "Year:" Labels for the jumpboxes to be out of line with their corresponding jumpbox.
Any suggestions would be helpful, but code and directions would be GREAT!
Thanks in advance!

New Film Series Features Czech Documentary Films
Series Honors Director Miloš Forman on His 80th Birthday
The Library of Congress, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Czech Republic, will present a new film series titled "Docs in Salute," focusing on interesting personalities who have been touched by Jewish themes.
The series will begin with four documentaries that will be screened at the Library at noon on Sept. 4, Sept. 19, Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 in the Mary Pickford Theater, located on the third floor of the James Madison Building at 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C.
The film series, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored jointly by the Library's Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation, The Embassy of the Czech Republic, the Washington Jewish Film Festival and the Hebrew Language Table. The films are in English and Czech with English subtitles. Tickets are not required.
The four documentaries are part of the Mutual Inspirations Festival 2012-Miloš Forman, celebrating Oscar-winning director Miloš Forman's 80th birthday and achievements. It honors the best of Czech cinematography and the accomplishments of the transatlantic (Czech-American) film industry. For more information about the festival, visit www.mutualinspirations.org (external link).
The first film in the series, "What Doesn't Kill You" (30 minutes), pays tribute to Forman, a Czech-American director and screenwriter whose parents were both killed in the Holocaust. His films include "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Amadeus" and "The People vs. Larry Flynt." The film screening on Sept. 4 will be followed by a discussion with Robert Rehak, Cultural Attache of the Embassy of the Czech Republic.
The series continues on Sept. 19 with the screening of "In the Shadow of Memory: Legacies of Lidice" (52 minutes), followed by a discussion with director Jerri Zbiral; "The Immortal Balladeer of Prague: Karel Hasler" (62 minutes) on Oct. 10, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Josef Lustig and the composer's son, Thomas Hasler; and "Four Pairs of Shoes" (50 minutes) on Oct. 17, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Pavel Stingl.

Released: Aug 30th, 2007
Running Time: 102 Min.
Companies: Chatsworth Pictures, JM Productions
Cast: Smokie Flame, Isabella Pacino, Liv Wilder, Jennifer Dark, Kiwi Ling, Luscious Lopez, Chelsie Rae
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
There are two types of girl-on-girl movies in this world of ours: the pretty, sensitive stuff shot for the lesbian market and the down-and-dirty variety shot for the guy who likes to watch chicks have sex but who doesn't need to see some porn mook's unit getting all the play.
This falls into the latter camp, and it's a fine, fine genre piece. The girls are hale, healthy and, in the case of Luscious Lopez's ass, hardy.
The scenes all involve digits, tongues and, most importantly, artificial appendages and devices.
There are some great pairings: the aforementioned Ms. Lopez with Liv Wilder, Isabella Pacino with Chelsie Rae, and Jennifer Dark with Alexa Lynn.
All in all, a fine effort.

Which Time Frame To Trade? 0 commentsJul 23, 2014 5:51 PM | about stocks: UUP
While the idea of different dimensions in time and space in our physical world makes my head spin, the idea of different time dimensions in markets makes perfect sense. Before however we cover how to identify the appropriate dimension in time to be trading - hint: "the now" - think about this question: "If you only see what you know, how do you ever see anything new"? I ask that question as a polite way of reminding us all that we have the ingrained habit of seeing and hearing what we want to see and hear.
How to determine if a pattern is bullish or bearish
The most important market measure is how to definitively identify a pattern as bullish or bearish. Once you know this simple procedure you can easily identify which dimension or pattern is bullish and which bearish. Before we show you that price point which delineates a bullish pattern from a bearish pattern let's identify what we refer to as the Five Tradable Patterns.
U.S. Dollar Index RTT Ratio
D - Secondary Up
50- Day Pattern Up
25- Day Pattern Up
10- Day Pattern Up
5 -Day Pattern Up
Figure 1 Risk Tolerance Threshold Ratio
This ratio serves as a directional barometer and identifies the current pattern of the most influential trading time frames. It is also a reflection of the underlying economic fundamentals for that market. For this article the ratio's purpose is to provide a visual of the different dimensions in time we are referring to, and to show you that each can be measured as either up or down.
The one trait that Elliot Wave, Dow Theory, and the teachings of Gann have in common - which paradoxically is talked about the least -- is that price tipping point where a bull spills into a bear or a bear morphs into a bull. For Elliot Wave it's just beyond .618, for Dow Theory 66% and Gann .625. Market statistics absolutely show us that over any time frame, regardless of volume, markets routinely bend - retrace - approximately 60% to 65% of the previous impulse move before recovering and resuming that dominant direction. If price does not recover however and holds beyond those levels, then a shift has occurred and the pattern is re-labeled accordingly. This predictable characteristic is used to determine the direction of a market on any time frame. The ratio in Figure 1 represents the current direction of the patterns on those influential time frames based on the height or depth of the current retracement of the last impulse move. The ratio works because it uses market generated information only.
We can then use this information to make trading decisions on the lower time frames, which is what we did in Figure 2. .
(click to enlarge)Figure 2. Intraday retracement in-line with the majority of tradable patterns
We took a Dollar Index intraday chart from this morning and waited for a bearish retracement to provide a buying opportunity in-line with the majority of patterns in our RTT Ratio. To give us an approximate target to set an alert at - so we don't have to sit and stare at the screen all morning -- we marked the .625 retracement level created by the London session low and the U.S. session high at that time.
When markets retrace beyond 50% of the previous impulse move, market participants holding positions in-line with that impulse move start to get nervous. When price moves beyond a 60% retracement, every tick, or pip, brings position holders closer and closer to their risk tolerance threshold. When price moves to a 62% and then 64% retracement it is generally enough of an adverse move to shake the majority of traders out of their positions. As traders who were positioned correctly but who could not afford the risk of further losses capitulate, market makers stop up and buy or sell at these advantageous levels. These repetitive patterns also serve as natural balancing mechanism for markets.
While this is incredibly helpful information to traders and investors it will still fall short of offsetting the many reasons most market participants lose.
Why you still lose
The biggest mistake traders make is trying to predict where the market is going to go next and then underestimating their risk tolerance. Our minds try to cheat by convincing us we can somehow predict the future, while our wallets prompt us to exit trades at the most inopportune times. We completely overlook that we have the power to identify exactly what is happening right now in the market - which is priceless information because statistically we know that current behavior is more likely to continue rather than change. That point bears repeating: "statistically we know that current behavior is more likely to continue rather than change". This is true of people and markets. But rather than position ourselves to take advantage of current conditions we want to go one step further and know - predict -- when change will come and somehow position ourselves to take advantage of that. No doubt change will come, but we can better insulate ourselves from any short-term drawdown this may cause by making hay now, while the sun is shining. And by having a simple method in place to measure the direction on any time frame, we have, by default, a tool to tell us when change is actually occurring.
The second biggest mistake traders make is believing that markets will follow the script they have in their head.
Entropy: Our order versus nature's order
It's only in our mind that we think ordered events should occur. In fact what we consider "order" and natures "order" are definitely at odds. And speaking of odds, they are low that the outcome you want to happen, which makes total sense to you, will actually happen compared to the hundreds of other possibilities. While we enjoy thinking that an ordered outcome that we profit from will occur, odds and entropy tell us it is much more likely that a disorderly outcome that we could not predict will occur.
An example of how our thoughts are at odds with how a market moves is demonstrated in a market moving sideways. Most people see a sideways market as being "unbalanced" in that the market cannot make up its "mind". Analysts would use the term "choppy" or "directionless" to describe a range bound market. Technically however a sideways market is seeking balance; entropy is increasing.
Imagine a clean sheet of 8" x 11"paper. Now imagine tearing that paper up into over a hundred pieces and throwing them into the wind. We see that action as moving from order to disorder. In nature however the 8" x 11" sheet of paper was completely unnatural and the act of tearing it up and throwing it into the wind was one that put the paper on a course to eventually restore the material to its natural state. The bits of paper flying haphazardly in the wind can definitely be described as chaotic. But we forget chaos is a higher order. We need to always remember the power of chaos and realize that while man may have created markets as a way to measure the value of goods; those markets are governed less by our own limited laws and more by nature's laws. It is always a good idea to remember how limited our own powers are to that of nature. Accordingly it is a much better idea to use a trading tool that identifies how the market positions itself in direction and time relative to the day's economic news and developments rather than one that relies on our interpretation of that news and economic theory.
The appropriate time frame to trade
The appropriate time frame to trade is the one that yields the lowest risk and highest reward. Set your risk on the lowest time frames and look to manage the trade on the highest time frames.
One of the most powerful realizations a trader can have is that the pattern on the chart is a reflection of underlying fundamental occurrences in the global markets. Therefore you don't need to focus on those occurrences but on how the market itself is interpreting them as bullish or bearish, i.e.: you focus on the current patterns to determine which time frame to trade. This is where the RTT Ratio comes in handy. If you are seeing the majority of patterns pointing in the same direction then take trades in that direction on lower time frame intraday charts, where your risk will be the lowest - in today's markets less than 20 ticks per contract -- yet manage the trade on an hourly, 4-hour, or even Daily Chart, where the reward can be in the hundreds of ticks. When the ratio is showing conflicting direction for the different time frames either don't trade, or trade counter-trend - where both your risk and reward are on the same lower-time frame chart.
Know that markets are scalable, meaning regardless of time or volume the ratios of retracements and extensions remains constant, and that price is a two way mechanism where what happens on the lower time frames gets replicated on the higher time frames and vice versa. This all means you can use the same trade management techniques and indicators regardless of which time frame you are managing the trade on. It also means you are allowing the market itself to interpret fundamental news, and manage your trades, rather than relying on your own or another's interpretation.

This is a website that I made as a just for fun project to illustrate an all-time question from the guys: why girls take so long in the shower? I used a foggy glass effect for the background to simulate the steamy shower environment.
When hover over the boy's figure, there will only be hair and body, but nothing will happen when you click on any of those since boys have much simpler steps when they take shower.
When you click on the girl, it will bring you to a new page with a larger size of the figure.
People can hover over each part to find out more about it. There is a home button at the upper left corner. It will shift and say "home" when you hover over it.
this is the hair part, it tells you when they will do with this particular part of the body and how long does that take approximately. People can also choose the other part of the body on the navigation bar at the top or go back to the home page.

Vette! is a 1989 racing video game where the object is racing a Chevrolet Corvette through the streets of San Francisco. The game was notable for its (at the time) detailed un-shaded polygon rendering of San Francisco streets. It was released on three floppy disks with a Black & White or Color version available. It was also released with a large instruction manual that gave detailed specs about the cars and details about various areas in the city. At the beginning of the game, a question from the manual requires a correct answer to prove game ownership. If the question is falsely answered, the game can be played for a limited time before a window popped up claiming, "You are Driving a Stolen Vette" and the game crashes.
Ahead of its time[edit]
The game featured a completely 3D rendered San Francisco, with many famous landmarks visible in the game including the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay Bridge,[1] and Lombard Street, known as the "Crookedest Street In The U.S." by locals. The game gave players freedom that was not seen in games before, and for many years after, Vette!'s release. There were also many features that were unheard of in 1989, including:
- Car damage that affected the car's engine and handling
- Full control over the game's camera views, including interior cam with full working dashboard
- The presence and interaction of law enforcement, in which you get pulled over and must give an excuse as to your erratic driving
- The ability to drive anywhere within the accurately modeled city, including highways, tunnels, and bridges
- Pulling over at the various gas stations was the only way to repair your car
- This game had Grand Theft Auto qualities because the player is able to run people over
Driving erratically can attract the attention of a nearby cop to give chase. Then getting pulled over there are 8 excuses to choose from unless charged for vehicular homicide, by running over at least 1 pedestrian during the chase, or within close proximity of a cop.
Compute! favorably reviewed the game, describing it as "Falcon AT on the ground". It praised the game's detail and EGA graphics, only criticizing the lack of sound card support, and concluded that "Vette! surpasses other driving simulations in its scope and realism".[1]

Reports indicate Fisker's new Chinese owners aiming for a revival of the range extender electric Karma sports car.
Chinese auto parts supplier Wanxiang plans to offer repurposed Fisker Karma's with V-8 engines capable of bringing the car to 200 mph.
A report by Reuters says that Fisker laid off 160 of its employees this morning, which seems to spell the end for the luxury plug-in hybrid manufacturer.
Business Insider reports that 16 of Fisker's Karma range-extended electric cars at the Port of Newark were submerged by Hurricane Sandy, and subsequently caught fire.
After stumbling with the Fisker Karma, Fisker Automotive will need to raise more money and execute flawlessly to bring its luxurious, sporty, and electric sedan to production.
Fisker unveiled its new electric car on April 3 in Manhattan.
Called Project Nina, Fisker Automotive's Atlantic plug-in electric sedan is set for a formal debut tomorrow at a time of questions over how the company will finance manufacturing of the car.

Product Description
To complement the knife's tactical mission, Cold Steel gave the Recon 1 a tough, black coated finish, which gives the blade three major tactical advantages. First, it helps the blade resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which otherwise might give the user away. And third, the knife is coated with a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with the coated blade. Cold Steel also added a thumb disc and extra-strong pocket clip, making the Recon 1 easy to open and carry. The clip is completely ambidextrous, and its small size is designed to keep the palm comfortable under protracted use. Finally, the knife is outfitted with the company's revolutionary Tri Ad lock, which practically eliminates lock failure.
- Blade length: 4 inches
- Blade thickness: 3.5mm
- Overall length: 9-3/8 inches
- Steel: Japanese Aus 8A stainless with black finish
- Handle: 5-3/8-inch Long G-10
- Pocket clip: Stainless pocket/belt clip
- Weight: 5.3 ounces

|Fast Break: Celtics Rondo the Knicks
|10.29.10 at 10:06 pm ET
The best thing to happen to Doc Rivers Friday night was Rajon Rondo. Watching his All-Star point guard dissect the Knicks for a career-high 24 assists helped him forget about an ugly occurrence just hours earlier.
Before his team and Rondo beat the Knicks, 105-101, at TD Garden, he had to answer questions about an altercation between Delonte West and Von Wafer earlier in the day after a shootaround – an altercation that Rivers acknowledged by saying "There was a fight. I 'm not real happy about it. We'll deal with it."
Wafer did play, albeit only three minutes off the bench, committing one foul and missing one shot from the floor.
The Celtics trailed by nine early as the Knicks came out shooting well but the Green recovered quickly and led 27-20 after the first. They didn't trail again and led by as many as 12.
The Celtics are off until Tuesday when they play in Detroit.
Rajon is Rondo-ing everyone right now: The point guard had a career 24 assists and is clearly the team leader. No one in an opposing uniform can seem to keep up with him in the half-court. About the only thing Rondo is doing wrong now is making passes that are so good, his teammates don't always anticipate them, like Marquis Daniels midway through the fourth. Rondo's 24 assists were the second-most in Celtics history, trailing only Bob Cousy's 28. To put a cherry on the sundae, Rondo finished with a triple double, adding 10 points and 10 rebounds to his astronomical helper total.
Celtics dominated the paint: Thanks to the work of Rondo, the C's went to the paint early and often and kept going there consistently throughout the game. They finished the game outscoring the Knicks, 54-38, in the paint. Glen Davis had 16 points off the bench, a huge contributor to the 54-point total.
Celtics found their shooting range: Paul Pierce shot 9-of-20 – including 4-of-6 from long distance – and finished with a team-high 25 points while Kevin Garnett made 12-of-17 from the floor and finished with 24. Shaquille O'Neal connected on 5-of-7, all from in close as the Celtics finished around the basket.
Still too many turnovers: Despite talking about the issue before the game, Doc Rivers had to sit on the bench and watch as his team committed another 18 turnovers. The Celtics have now committed 55 turnovers in their first three games. The turnovers were the biggest reason a team like the Knicks, who shot only 44 percent, were able to close to within two with 17.5 seconds remaining on an Amar'e Stoudemire three.
Celtics look their age coming out of the block: That has be a huge concern considering they are starting the season fresh. They are getting beat in two aspects of the game the Celtics of the last three seasons have dominated. They are getting beat on rotations, allowing the ball to find its way to the open shooter and too often they are getting beaten in transition. When Rajon Rondo is trailing on defense, you have a serious issue to address.
Big men are knicked up: With 5:11 left in the fourth, Shaquille O'Neal left for the locker room limping. Already without Jermaine O'Neal and Kendrick Perkins, the C's can hardly afford to lose another big man or they run the risk of burning out Big Baby who looks as fresh as he has in his career. Shaq did not return to the game. He bruised his right knee when he banged into Stoudemire. He said after the game that he would be fine and not miss any time. Jermaine O'Neal meanwhile is day-to-day with swelling in his left knee, an ailment that cropped up after the loss in Cleveland.
|Lucky Luke Harangody active for the 1st time
|at 7:25 pm ET
After two sluggish games to start the season, Jermaine O'Neal – playing with torn cartilage in his left wrist – is getting the night off against the New York Knicks. Rookie Luke Harangody is active for the first time this season in three games.
O'Neal was just 1-for-5 in the first two games, scoring just three points. Harangody, drafted in the second round (52nd overall) last June out of Notre Dame, was named to the AirTran Airways All-Summer League first team after averaging 16.6 points and 6.8 rebounds in July.
The Celtics will stick with the same starting lineup of Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett as they look to bounce back over .500 against New York.
|The Delonte West Timeline
|at 4:34 pm ET
Following HoopsWorld's report that Delonte West and Von Wafer exchanged blows during a practice before tonight's 7:30 p.m. game against the New York Knicks at the TD Garden, we put together a simple timeline of an offseason that explains a little why the Celtics may be considering dumping West even before he fulfills the 10-game suspension levied upon him this summer …
- July 15: On trial for six weapons charges from a 2009 traffic stop in Maryland, West pleaded guilty to carrying an eight-inch bowie knife and transporting a handgun on his motorcycle. He was sentenced to eight months of home detention, two months of probation and 40 hours of community service. As a result, NBA commissioner David Stern suspended West for the first 10 games of the 2010-11 season.
The Washington Post reported: "Three guns were found — a 9mm Beretta in West's waistband, a Ruger .357 Magnum strapped to his leg, and a 12-gauge shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, authorities said. West also had additional shotgun shells in a backpack, investigators said."
- July 26: In the wake of "The Decision," the Cleveland Cavaliers traded West — along with Sebastian Telfair — for Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins.
- August 3: In order to save $4.1 million in salary, the T-Wolves released West.
- September 1: The Celtics signed West to a non-guaranteed deal for the veteran minimum.
- September 27: Officially donning a Celtics uniform again on Media Day, West denied rumors that sufraced during the 2010 NBA Playoffs that he and LeBron James' mother, Gloria, had engaged in a relationship.
"Not at all," he told reporters. "I come from an era where you don't say nothing bad about someone's parent, so not at all."
- October 11: In an open diary to the public on ESPN.com, West praised the camaraderie of this veteran Celtics team. He also commented on his past:
"People make mistakes but that's what life is," West wrote. "You've got to learn from them and keep going. This team is here to win. The unselfishness stands out. Everyone is just submerging themselves within the team. It's all about team here. That's the type of player I am anyway, I'm always about the team. I put the team before my individual goals my whole career. It's good to be on a team like this."
- October 13: On a preseason road trip, the Celtics sent West back to Boston from New York to undergo testing for the back spasms that had been ailing him throughout training camp.
- October 22: Still healing from his lower back injury, West returned to practice in a limited fashion.
- October 24: In a game of 2-on-2 (West and Semih Erden vs. Wafer and Luke Harangody), West and Wafer exchanged words after West drove hard to the basket and scored consecutive baskets against Wafer — with West telling Wafer to "do something about it."
- October 26: Shaquille O'Neal told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that he encouraged Celtics vice president Danny Ainge to sign West, because the two had respect for each other as teammates in Cleveland.
"I know he won't get out of line," O'Neal told Windhorst. "There's five or six guys that he truly respects here. Last year I don't think he respected anybody but me on that team. So I was able to talk to him."
"He got out of control a lot of times and usually when people get out of control they shut their buttons off to somebody they respect," O'Neal added. "I know he respected me because I can get out of control too. I had to yoke (sic) him up once or twice, tell him to let it go bro."
- October 26: In an interview with WEEI's Big Show, Ainge admitted that the team considered the risks of re-signing West.
"I think everybody is aware that Delonte has had challenges off the court," Ainge told The Big Show. We are trying to give him the support that he needs. The players that were with him before, our coach that was with him before and myself and ownership I think we were aware of that risk and I think we were comfortable with that risk."
- October 29: Following a physical game of 3-on-3 in practice, Wafer returned to the locker room as West taunted him with obscenities, according to HoopsWorld. West allegedly threw a punch at Wafer in the locker room, leading to a scuffle. Now, Ainge is reportedly considering terminating West's deal.
|Irish Coffee: Vin Baker Comes Clean
|at 10:37 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Six years after the Boston Celtics terminated him for violating his alcohol treatment program, a near-broke Vin Baker has come to terms with how alcoholism and depression squandered a 13-year career — and an $87 million contract.
While promoting a book he's written about his ordeal, Baker admitted in an appearance on Connecticut's Stan Simpson Show that he began to recognize the existence of a problem before the 2002 trade that sent him from the Seattle SuperSonics to the Celtics.
"Towards the end of my Seattle career, when I was traded to Boston, I knew something was going on that I had to change," Baker told Simpson. "At the time, I really couldn't change it, because it's a disease. It affects 18 million Americans. At the time, I didn't know what was going on. I had to fix it. It was a situation where the support system around me was tough."
Irish coffee, indeed.
One season removed from an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 2001-02, the Celtics had hoped Baker could return to some semblance of the player that made four straight All-Star Games from 1995-98 and won a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics.
In Boston, Baker sunk deeper into the diseases that had already derailed a promising career. In just 89 games over two seasons, he averaged only 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds before being suspended from the team when coach Jim O'Brien smelled alcohol on his breath during a practice. Baker said he wanted to change, but couldn't.
"I had to figure out a way to make it right," Baker said in his appearance on the Connecticut FOX affiliate. "I couldn't make it right. The Celtics — a great organization — they worked with me, but with my issues I didn't take the time I needed to take to make it right."
It's a shame Baker's career fell off so sharply and abruptly, considering that four-year stretch — averaging 19.7 points and 9.6 rebounds — before a 1998-99 NBA lockout that saw the New England native balloon to 300 pounds.
"When you're doing certain things on the court, a lot of times people just trust your talents," Baker added in the interview. "They don't know what's going on inside your heart and your mind, and it becomes very difficult to relay to people that, you know, I might be struggling with something. Entertainers, basketball players, NFL players – sometimes it gets to a point where they don't understand who you are as a person. They just look at the money, the power, the fame."
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Brian Scalabrine revealed what made Tom Thibodeau such a valuable asset in Celtic practices over the last few seasons: The C's assistant coach and defensive guru wasn't afraid of anybody, including Kevin Garnett.
"He likes KG, and KG loves Thibodeau, but he stared right at Garnett and said, 'We're doing it this way, you have to do it better, do it harder, and do it more together or I'm going to have to make a change,'" Scalabrine told the Tribune. "If coach Thibodeau can do that to Kevin Garnett, he can do that to anybody."
The question moving forward is — when this year's Celtics suffer defensive lapses — can Lawrence Frank do the same to guys like KG and the O'Neal brothers? Time will tell.
By the way, if you're wondering how Scalabrine is performing in Chicago, the answer is: Just fine, thank you very much. He's shooting 100 percent from the field. Of course, he's only taken one shot in 11 minutes.
Oh, and my new favorite Twitter personality to follow is @FakeScalabrine. Over the last few days, he's given us gems like: "Shaq is picking up my slack with the missed layups," and, "Watching Nate clank threes and just thinking, 'Man, that could be me.'"
Speaking of Garnett, Sports Illustrated's Kevin Mannix details just how much KG's knee problems affected his play last year — and how far he's come since.
One Eastern Conference scout told Mannix that he thought KG was "finished" last season after seeing Andray Blatche score 23 points on the 2007-08 Defensive Player of the Year.
"Offensively, he understood what he could or couldn't do," Doc Rivers told Mannix of last season. "He had become a pick-and-pop player. It frustrated him that he couldn't post more. He couldn't get his balance. Defensively, guys were driving by him, beating him off the dribble. He couldn't get blocked shots."
"Watching Kevin now is like night and day from last season," Rivers added in the interview. "In camp last year, I thought he was physically healthy, but mentally he wasn't sure. He was scared to do things."
One of the driving forces behind KG's return to the old KG was Pau Gasol's 18.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game in the 2010 NBA Finals.
"Gasol having that good series," Rivers added, "really ticked Kevin off."

|NBA Power Rankings, 10/28
|10.28.10 at 2:40 pm ET
1. LA Lakers: After receiving their championship rings, the Lakers started 1-0, thanks to new addition Steve Blake, who nailed a last-second 3-pointer to defeat the Rockets — on an assist from Kobe Bryant. Wait a second, Kobe trusted a teammate? And a new teammate to boot? I must have read that wrong.
2. Boston: The Celtics made their statement on opening night: When they're up for a game, they can beat anybody in the league, including the LeBron-led Heat. Then they made another statement last night: When they're not up for a game, they can lose to anybody in the league, including the LeBron-less Cavaliers.
3. Miami: LeBron was right when he said after the loss to the Celtics that Rome wasn't built in a day. In reality, it was built over the course of 870 years. I don't think it'll take that long for the Heat to start jelling. They played pretty poorly in the opener — and still almost beat our No. 2-ranked team on the road.
4. Oklahoma City: Kevin Durant took his first step towards claiming his MVP trophy, totaling 30 points and seven rebounds in a season-opening win over a team that will probably be one of the league's best defensive squads (the Bulls). So, what's in store when he plays against the Pistons tomorrow night? Watch out.
5. Orlando: I overheard a conversation at the TD Garden the other night. One guy said to another, "Hey, how come you don't like Orlando's chances this year?" The other guy's reply? "They still have Vince Carter, don't they?" I couldn't agree more. That's why — no matter how impressive their preseason was — they're not higher.
|Paul Pierce knows clutch when he sees it
|10.27.10 at 3:38 pm ET
You know you're clutch when Paul Pierce says you're one of the best clutch players he's ever played with. Kevin Garnett echoed those feelings about Ray Allen after the sharpshooter showed off his deadly shooting prowess again late in Tuesday's season-opening 88-80 win over the Miami Heat.
Allen hit a clutch three-pointer from the left baseline with 49.8 seconds to go in the fourth quarter to seal Boston's win over LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the highly-anticipated NBA lid-lifter at TD Garden.
"I've been a witness of it the last three years, and he's one of the best players that I've ever played with," Pierce said of Allen. "It's an honor just to be able to step on the court with him night in and night out. You've got a guy that can take that kind of pressure off you, it's an amazing feeling. I don't know if you guys realize it, but Ray, he's hit so many game winners for us and so many clutch shots for us, we have confidence to get him the ball in these situations. He delivers nine times out of ten."
"And this guy hits big shots himself," smiled Garnett, who added just the right amount of perspective.
But Pierce also admitted, "I like watching, too."
Pierce did exactly that when he fed Allen off a designed play and the Celtics desperately needing a bucket to regain control after Miami drew to within three on a James lay-up with under a minute remaining.
"We drew a play out of the time out, and the only thing we said is, if it's not there, it won't be there because they have to rotate, and if they rotate, if we make the next pass, the ball will find the open guy," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, before giving props to Pierce for making the extra pass.
James was defending Pierce very closely and not giving him a good look so the Celtics captain found an open and willing Allen on the left baseline.
"And that was terrific," Rivers added. "He had a shot, but it would have been contested, and he made the extra pass. We always talk about no hero ball, and to me that was a hero pass in a great way. He didn't have to make that pass, but he made the right decision, and it was great."
Who was supposed to be on Allen? Former Celtic Eddie House, a shooting guard who can appreciate hitting the clutch shot.
"I should have stayed with him on the baseline," House said. "He kicked it out and got that one right in front of our bench. That's a play I've already replayed in my head about 1,000 times already. But Ray just does that to you."
|Celtics-Heat game draws 5.6 rating on TNT
|at 11:27 am ET
Tuesday night's Celtics-Heat game scored a 5.6 overnight rating for TNT, a 75 percent improvement from last season's opening game between the Celtics and Cavaliers. The second half of the TNT doubleheader featuring the Lakers and Rockets also had a solid boost from 2009, drawing 40 percent more viewers to register a 3.5. Overall, TNT averaged a 4.5 for the doubleheader, making it by far the most-watched NBA opening night in TNT history.

PlaySpan breach compromises user IDs, no evidence of credit card data being accessed or exported
A PlaySpan breach by hackers has been shut down after the firm detected and terminated illegal access to the Marketplace.
Hackers gained access to user information, but no evidence of payment account – credit, debit, or prepaid card – data was accessed or exported, the firm has said.
However, user IDs, email addresses and encrypted passwords of Marketplace users were compromised.
"When PlaySpan detected the breach, we immediately shut down the hacker's access to our systems and took steps to protect our customers' PlaySpan accounts," the firm told Polygon.

In addition to the presence of a parotid or submandibular mass, pain is a frequent symptom, and facial nerve palsy occurs in as many as 20% of patients.[76] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Pain for more information.) Of the patients, more than 40% have metastases to cervical lymph nodes at initial presentation, 20% develop local recurrences or lymph node metastases, and 20% develop distant metastases within 3 years following therapy.[73,76,77,78]
Myoepithelial carcinoma
Myoepithelioma carcinoma is a rare, malignant salivary gland neoplasm in which the tumor cells almost exclusively manifest myoepithelial differentiation. This neoplasm represents the malignant counterpart of benign myoepithelioma.[3] To date, the largest series reported involves 25 cases.[79] Approximately 66% of the tumors occur in the parotid gland.[3,74] The mean age of patients is reported to be 55 years.[79]
The majority of patients present with the primary complaint of a painless mass.[79] This is an intermediate grade to high-grade carcinoma.[3,79] Histologic grade does not appear to correlate well with clinical behavior; tumors with a low-grade histologic appearance may behave aggressively.[79]
Adenosquamous carcinoma
Adenosquamous carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm that simultaneously arises from surface mucosal epithelium and salivary gland ductal epithelium. The carcinoma shows histopathologic features of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Only a handful of reports have discussed this tumor.[3]
In addition to swelling, adenosquamous carcinoma produces visible changes in the mucosa including erythema, ulceration, and induration. Pain frequently accompanies ulceration. Limited data indicate that this is a highly aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis.[3]
Nonepithelial Neoplasms
Lymphomas and benign lymphoepithelial lesion
Lymphomas of the major salivary glands are characteristically of the non-Hodgkin type. In an AFIP review of case files, non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounted for 16.3% of all malignant tumors that occurred in the major salivary glands; disease in the parotid gland accounted for about 80% of all cases.[3]
Patients with benign lymphoepithelial lesion (e.g., Mikulicz disease), which is a manifestation of the autoimmune disease, Sjögren syndrome, are at an increased risk for development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[80,81,82,83,84] Benign lymphoepithelial lesion is clinically characterized by diffuse and bilateral enlargement of the salivary and lacrimal glands.[23] Morphologically, a salivary gland lesion is composed of prominent myoepithelial islands surrounded by a lymphocytic infiltrate. Germinal centers are often present in the lymphocytic infiltrate.[23] Immunophenotypically and genotypically, the lymphocytic infiltrate is composed of B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes, which are polyclonal. In some instances, the B-cell lymphocytic infiltrate can undergo clonal expansion and evolve into frank non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The vast majority of the non-Hodgkin lymphomas arising in a background of benign lymphoepithelial lesions are marginal zone lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).[81,82,83,84] MALT lymphomas of the salivary glands, like their counterparts in other anatomic sites, typically display relatively indolent clinical behavior.[3,85]

Fair Haven student charged in assaultsApril 17,2014A 17-year-old Fair Haven High School student is facing criminal charges for sexually assaulting one teenage girl and assaulting another.
Robert W. Richardson, of Castleton, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court this month to a felony charge of sexually assaulting a victim under the age of 16 and a misdemeanor count of domestic assault against another girl.
Richardson, who appeared in court on citations, remains free on court ordered conditions that include that he have no unsupervised contact with females under the age of 16 and that he abide by all restrictions placed on him by the FHUHS principal.
In affidavits written by Fair Haven Police and an investigator with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, police say Richardson sexually assaulted one girl last summer and both verbally and physically abused another during the fall.
One of the girls told police that Richardson referred to her as his "property" and he could do with her what he wanted.
If convicted of both charges, Richardson faces up to 21 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

TUNICA, Miss. (AP) -- The levees held.
But that doesn't mean the record Mississippi River flood of 2011
didn't leave destruction in its wake.
As hundreds of Mississippi residents struggle to get back into

Engineers is reinforcing damaged levees as another flood season
According to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, 334
buildings flooded in Tunica County and 2,679 flooded in 12 counties
combined. Insurance consultant AON Benefield estimated that the
flood caused $5 billion in property and crop damage in the entire
Mississippi valley, with Mississippi estimates in the hundreds of
Although some people had flood insurance or qualified for
elevation grants, that hasn't been enough for everyone. Larry
McMullen, a retiree, estimated only 10 or 11 homes in Nel-Win were
occupied full-time this spring, with many unrepaired or vacant.

I would also like to create a Home page button that takes people back to the blog.
I'm a bit puzzled about how to do this. I can create a page called Home but that creates an entirely new page that isn't the blog.
How do I get a button called Home on the navigation bar that takes you back to the blog?

The RSM 191 is a stereo microphone system consisting of the microphone and the MTX 191 A matrix amplifier. It has an adjustable pick-up angle and high directivity. The microphone has two separate capsule systems, a hypercardioid element and a figure-8, both in a short shotgun. Together they generate the mid and the side signals.
The matrix amplifier controls the width of the stereo image by changing the gain of the side signal relative to the middle signal in six 3 dB steps. The output signals of the matrix amplifier are either mid-side (MS) or left/right (XY). The signals are converted through transformerless sum-and-difference circuitry.
The balanced, transformerless technology permits the use of long cables between the microphone, the matrix amplifier and the following mic input of other signal processing equipment.
The RSM 191 system is an ideal microphone system for:
Outdoor stereophonic news coverage, even in extremely noisy surroundings;
Stereo recordings for film and television where the actors are recorded simultaneously with acoustic ambiance, or an orchestra;
Stereophonic motion picture sound where the width of the sound image must match the camera viewing angle.
The RSM 191 consists of a capsule head containing two separate transducer systems and an amplifier section with two independent transformerless microphone amplifiers.
An interference tube system with a hypercardioid characteristic generates the middle signal, while a horizontal figure-8 assembly provides the side signal.
Acoustic features
The RSM 191 achieves its high directivity and special acoustic features through a unique construction. The microphone capsule assembly is mounted inside a housing tube that is acoustically open but has a high flow resistance.
This results in a high driving force for the diaphragm, even with a low pressure gradient factor of the capsule. Therefore, the microphone can suppress unwanted off-axis interference to a considerably higher degree than other microphones without such an interference tube.
The middle system (M-signal) combines high attenuation of lateral sound incidence, similar to a hypercardioid characteristic (which is about 10 dB), with the large front-to back ratio of the super-cardioid characteristic.
Therefore, sound from the rear is likewise attenuated by approximately 10 dB. This design approach makes the microphone less sensitive to wind or pop noise than other shotgun microphones.
The side system (S-signal) consists of two single capsules arranged back to back, closely behind the interference tube (M-signal) capsule. Arrows engraved on the microphone housing show their orientation.
The uniform and balanced performance characteristic of the microphone system is achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the microphone maintains an excellent impulse response, reproducing all transient phenomena in music and speech without coloration. The entire internal construction is decoupled from the housing to avoid structure borne and handling noise.

Our fourth and final day of this year's Georgia Tour included stops in East Cobb County, downtown Atlanta, and Douglasville.
On Day Three of this year's Georgia Tour, we visited with friends, alumni, and local businesses in the Stone Mountain/Snellville area, Vecoma, Duluth, Roswell, and Alpharetta.
On Day Two of this year's Georgia Tour, we visited with friends, alumni, and local businesses in Locust Grove, McDonough, Social Circle, and Mansfield.
Previous tours (2009-15) have covered more than 5,100 miles, with stops in more than 40 cities and nearly every one of Georgia's 159 counties. This year our tour is a little different from the others, each of which took us fairly far afield from our Atlanta campus. After an opening day in the energetic middle Georgia city of Macon, we'll tour selected cities and towns in metro Atlanta. This year's Georgia Tour will cover 570 miles through 21 counties, with 24 events in 15 cities and towns. Some of our first stops included Griffin, Musella, and Perry.
My reflection on Memorial Day this year is emanating from a different perspective, one with a much greater global view than in past years. This past week, Val and I joined the Georgia Tech-Lorraine community and the governmental leadership of Metz and Lorraine in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Georgia Tech-Lorraine (GTL), our campus in Metz. During our visit and the associated celebrations, I thought about the wonderful opportunities thousands of Georgia Tech students have had to gain a global perspective as a result of their time here, and I reflected back on our visit on Memorial Day 2014 when Val and I were in Metz for the inauguration of the Institut Lafayette.
On May 27, President and Mrs. Peterson joined faculty, staff, students, local academic partners, and government representatives in Metz, France to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Georgia Tech-Lorraine. The trip also included a gathering of nearly 300 Georgia Tech alumni at a venue on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Outside the U.S., France has the largest number of Georgia Tech alumni, and events like this strengthen ties with alumni living in the area, and allow Georgia Tech to expand our global reach and impact and provide life-changing experiences for our students.
On May 27, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Georgia Tech-Lorraine (GTL), our flagship international program in Metz, France. We are grateful for the visionary leaders who 25 years ago took the bold step to establish a Georgia Tech campus in France, starting with a handful of graduate students and faculty. We are very proud of all that we have been able to accomplish together at Georgia Tech-Lorraine as part of our global vision.
Every Georgia Tech Commencement is filled with success stories. Each graduate's journey to that moment when he or she accepts the diploma before classmates, friends, and family is unique. But few have a more entertaining story to tell than Leo Benatar, a devoted friend to Georgia Tech since he graduated in 1951 with his bachelor's degree in industrial engineering.
Georgia Tech's FireHUD team took home the $5,000 People's Choice Award, which goes to the fans' favorite invention. Zachary Braun, a computer engineering major, and Tyler Sisk, an electrical engineering major, invented a real-time monitoring system and Head Up Display that provides biometric and environmental data to firefighters and the command-and-control center for the fire.
As the winner, FireHUD will represent Georgia Tech in the ACC InVenture Prize. Wobble finished second in the Georgia Tech InVenture Prize. TruePani was named fan favorite. InVenture brings together student innovators from all academic backgrounds across campus in an effort to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. They identify problems and devise solutions that require not just technical knowledge, but creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and business acumen.
More than 75 Georgia Tech students, along with faculty and staff, participated Feb. 1 in the annual Georgia Tech Student Day at the Capitol.
This month, as we do every January, Georgia Tech is hosting a series of special events as part of the Institute's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. It is an opportunity for the entire Georgia Tech community to come together and focus on the legacy bequeathed to us by this towering figure of the American civil rights movement, as well as to identify and discuss how we can make even greater strides going forward.
On Friday, Dec. 11, I had the pleasure of shaking the hands of 1,200 master's and Ph.D. recipients in McCamish Pavilion at the Georgia Institute of Technology's historic 250th Commencement. The next morning, 1,200 undergraduates received their degrees, and we celebrated again with proud parents, relatives, friends, and academicians who all supported the newly graduated Yellow Jackets.
It's wonderful and fitting that we honor our veterans on this Veterans Day. But these courageous men and women represent us here and abroad every day with a deep sense of duty that binds them together and also inspires them to serve as a shield for all Americans. They are both warriors and peacekeepers. They carry this burden so that we may all pursue our shared values of liberty, justice, and self-determination. We owe them a debt that can never be fully repaid.
Homecoming 2015 provided a wonderful opportunity to share the momentum that Georgia Tech is experiencing. Thousands of alumni and other supporters returned to the Georgia Tech campus on Oct. 22-24 for a perfect fall weekend filled with reunion activities and a chance to see firsthand the changes all over campus. And then there was that game.
The day began with a tour of Young Harris College. Many thanks to C.J. Cypress, senior admissions counselor at Young Harris, for volunteering to be our tour guide, as well as to Dr. Linda Jones, associate professor of Biology and dean of the Division of Mathematics and Science. Their new Rollins Campus Center is impressive, and its openness and sustainable design remind me of our Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons.

The morning began with breakfast with Georgia State Rep. Bruce Broadrick in Dalton followed by a meeting with the Northwest Georgia Manufacturing Consortium at the Carpet and Rug Institute. Our host was Joe Yarbrough, president of the Carpet and Rug Institute and board chairman of the Technical College System of Georgia. We talked about the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) project, a new federal initiative that will accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing and help cultivate an environment for businesses to create well-paying manufacturing jobs in regions across the country.
On Monday, June 15, we headed out for our seventh Georgia tour since a little over six years ago when Val and I arrived here at Georgia Tech. We originally thought that we would only do our state tour for the first year or two, but we've continued it every year because it's such a great opportunity to meet the citizens of Georgia, current and prospective students, and people whose businesses Georgia Tech has helped to create or improve.
Leaders from industry, the community, national laboratories, the government and higher education came together at Tech Square on June 9 for the first in a series of five dialogues around the nation as part of the Exploring Innovation Frontiers Initiative (EIFI). With the support of the National Science Foundation, the event was hosted by the Council on Competitiveness, the Georgia Research Alliance, the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Georgia Tech.
Like virtually every corner of our national life, Georgia Tech has been touched by loss from military conflict. Funded by the World War II classes of 1944-46, the Memorial Mall at the entrance of our Wardlaw Building is a sobering reminder of the human cost of war.
Georgia Tech has had the privilege of welcoming our nation's leaders to speak on our campus for more than a century, and the tradition continued on March 10 as we welcomed President Barack Obama.
Veterans Day 2014 is yet another opportunity for a grateful nation to pay homage to our American military veterans, men and women who have played a vital role in our country's history, and who are also a treasured part of Georgia Tech as students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Over a four-day period we traveled 500 miles through 26 counties, with 24 events in seven cities. We met with businesses, lawmakers, editorial boards, alumni, members of the Board of Regents and others. I am told that in the five years I've been at Georgia Tech, our state tours have covered more than 4,000 miles.
Students studying at Georgia Tech Lorraine will participate in the 70th anniversary commemoration of D-Day in Normandy on June 6. Dr. Peterson shares a Memorial Day message.
The winter storm that quickly dumped snow and ice on the metro Atlanta area last Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 28) has already been dubbed "one of the worst storms in the past two decades." We have all heard stories about the incredible commute times and other problems that people were forced to endure as a result of the storm and I deeply regret that so many of our Georgia Tech folks were among those negatively impacted. I do, however, want to offer our most sincere thanks for all of the individuals and teams who worked tirelessly during the storm, and are continuing to work to get our campus up and running at full speed again.
Several events over the past year have caused me to pause and reflect on the lasting impact that a number of leaders have made in the pursuit of social justice throughout the world. The passing of Nelson Mandela is the most recent example.
On Jan. 10 Georgia Tech's new Carbon Neutral Energy Solutions laboratory was the site of a press conference to announce General Motors' Information Technology Innovation Center in Roswell. It is the third of four IT innovation centers that GM is creating throughout the U.S.
An Atlanta reporter recently asked a group of Atlanta leaders what what we are most thankful for. I responded that this Thanksgiving season, I am thankful for the spirit of the Georgia Tech community in giving back.
On Sept. 18 we celebrated a century of cooperative education at Georgia Tech, a program that has helped to shape the lives of 50,000 graduates. Cooperative education has been a part of Georgia Tech for almost 80 percent of the Institute's existence, during the leadership of all but two of Tech's presidents. In fact, Georgia Tech was one of the first colleges to adopt cooperative education.
The National Science Foundation's recent I-Corps announcement is the latest example of the momentum that has been building over the past few years. Today, Tech Square is an innovation ecosystem bringing together needed resources, expertise and opportunities for collaboration that creates an exciting environment for innovation to flourish.
Each summer since coming to Georgia Tech three years ago, we have spent a week touring the state talking to various groups about Georgia Tech. This summer has been no exception and Val and I just returned from our 900-mile route through south Georgia. The annual event provides a great opportunity to meet with with alumni, legislators, regents, the media, industry partners, as well as current and potential students. Over a four-day period we visited 43 of Georgia's 159 counties, were hosted at a number of alumni events, met with local community leaders and met hundreds of Tech friends and supporters at more than 20 events across south Georgia.
A year ago this month President Obama appointed the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) steering committee. I was fortunate enough to be appointed as a member of the committee, along with five other research university presidents and ten CEO's. Much work has been done in the past year. Of particular note is the report prepared that included a series of recommendations made to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, or PCAST. That report is now being reviewed by the White House and should be released shortly.
Today we announced an exciting transformational gift from Georgia Tech alumnus Ernest "Ernie" Scheller Jr. that will result in our former College of Management becoming the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business. When completed in 2013, the Scheller gift of $50 million will amount to the largest single cash gift in Institute history. A majority of the gift, secured partially through a $20 million challenge grant, has already been fulfilled resulting in new faculty chairs and professorships, undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and a dean's discretionary fund for academic support.
I recently had the privilege of speaking at Texas A&M University at Qatar as part of their Distinguished Lecture Series. As many of you know I taught and served in leadership at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, for 19 years, and it was especially meaningful to represent Georgia Tech at Texas A&M's Qatar campus.
I am headed home from what was a spectacular event and one very special to me and thousands of others. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the last launch of the Shuttle program and it causes me to think back.
It's now 8:00 Friday morning and I am headed into a special briefing by the center director. They just announced that the astronauts have left to get suited up, the sun is peaking through and the weather is starting to look more promising. Optimism is growing.
We will be watching the launch from Banana Creek, which is 3.3 miles from the launch pad and across the water so that there is nothing blocking the view. NASA does not allow anyone closer than 3 miles, except the emergency rescue crew which is located in a bunker about a mile from the launch pad. They say that within 100 yards you will be incinerated and within 400 yards you could not withstand the shock wave, so they keep people well away.
We just returned from an all-day tour of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and had a great time. We took a driving tour of the Center, including Launch Pad 39A, where Atlantis is currently being prepared for launch, and 39B; the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB); and the Banana Creek viewing area, where we will be when we watch the launch tomorrow.
At 5:00 p.m. on July 6 I boarded a flight out of Atlanta bound for Orlando, Fla., for the launch of the last space shuttle mission, STS-135. During my first two-plus years as president of Georgia Tech, I have received hundreds of invitations, but this one is special and is particularly meaningful to me, as it represents an interesting turn of events.
On January 17 Georgia Tech will join fellow Atlantans and Americans in celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This is a time for both reflection and action with a number of special activities planned.
Twenty years ago, Georgia Tech began its expansion abroad, creating a new campus in Metz, located in the French region of Lorraine. That experiment has proven extraordinarily fruitful: it has given our students an immersive international educational experience, it has fostered new research partnerships and it has enhanced our reputation as a global university.
My thanks to the more than 800 members of the campus community who came to hear this week's Institute Address, where we introduced our new Strategic Plan. We started the process one year ago, and today we have an ambitious, overarching document that will guide academic and administrative operations for the next generation.
Commercialization of university technology is deeply ingrained in our mission at Georgia Tech, and we are eager to help multiply our successes through partnerships with government, business, industry, and our colleagues in academia. We welcome these opportunities for making a real and lasting impact and creating the economic growth necessary to support our region and our nation.
Recently, Val and I attended the 11th Annual Women in Engineering Excellence Award Banquet, where we were overwhelmed by all of the amazing young women we talked to and met. Reflecting on that experience, it is hard to believe that for the first 67 years, Georgia Tech did not admit women into its full-time programs. Thanks to the bold leadership of Blake Van Leer, Tech's fifth president, they are today a vital and important part of Georgia Tech.
As this year's campus celebration of Black History Month draws to a close this week, it's important to remember not only what we have achieved in terms of racial and other forms of diversity, but also where we began.
I hope that those of you who were in attendance at the Jan. 21 town hall in support of our Strategic Vision process enjoyed the lively conversation. Joe Bankoff's presentation - a hypothetical look from the future - was engaging, entertaining and inspiring. If the Georgia Tech of 2035 in any way resembles the result Joe proposed we will have some very impressive accomplishments to tout. His insights were both informed and candid, and I want to thank him for his commitment to this process and his support of our institution.
This Monday, Georgia Tech will join the nation in honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Campus offices will be closed and there will be no classes, yet it is my hope that our students, faculty and staff will pause to reflect on Dr. King's legacy and the ideals he pursued.
Over the past few weeks I've given several "State of the Institute" presentations, reaching out to parents, alumni, faculty, and staff. Because we thought these updates would be of interest to the entire Georgia Tech community, we've posted several of them on this Web site.
Some things at Georgia Tech never change. Since my arrival in April, I've learned that the letter "T" has been, and will always be, a highly sought-after token of school spirit, that Junior's Grill serves some the South's best chicken fingers, and that you can set your watch by the whistle's daily blasts. Some things never change - but as I begin my first fall semester at Georgia Tech, I am eager to experience the traditions that await me in the coming months. I am excited to experience my first Georgia Tech football game on September 5 as our nationally ranked Yellow Jackets face Jacksonville State University. I can only imagine the proud display of community and tradition that awaits me at my first Team Buzz community service day. I also hear there is a tricycle race on campus - the Mini 500 - and it is a "must see" event.
To the Georgia Tech Community:
It's hard to believe, but July 9 marks my 100th day at Georgia Tech. The first three months have been enormously exciting and productive, and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of the things I have had the privilege to be a part of and give you a glance at what lies ahead.
In my first 100 days, I have tried to focus on learning as much about every aspect of Georgia Tech as possible and reaching out to the many people here at Georgia Tech; government, business and industry leaders, and those in the many communities we serve. In these meetings, I quickly learned that Tech is a truly incredible place, one that is making a tremendous impact, on the lives of our students, on the state's economy, and on the larger global community. One of the important aspects of my role as president is to share our story with numerous groups and individuals in an effort to communicate the many ways in which Georgia Tech enriches the lives of our various constituencies and to strengthen strategic partnerships, while at the same time, listening to their valuable feedback.
Day one set the pace when Val and I were invited to the state legislature, where I was given the opportunity to address both the House and the Senate. Since then I have met with students, faculty and staff from Georgia Tech; alumni here in Atlanta and across the country; and legislators, regents, and other city, state, and national leaders. As a continuation of this effort, this month we began traveling throughout the state to meet with current and prospective students, alumni, and local community and government leaders. As part of this process, this week we will make thirteen stops in seven cities in three days.
