Before diving into my blog about my life after college, Id like to set the scene a bit and introduce myself. So here is a short clip about where Ive been, where I am now, and where I plan on going.
I grew up in Radnor, Pennsylvania, as a very active kid. I participated in every sport under the sun. I loved being active and trying new things so my passion for all sports grew as I did. In high school, I played soccer, basketball and lacrosse, and also participated in other sports such as snowboarding, wakeboarding and tennis. I was recruited to play both soccer and lacrosse in college but chose to pursue lacrosse. It was evident right away that I had an amazing opportunity in front of me. I fell in love with the University of Richmond and spent the next five years of my life there.
So life was good. Everything was going smoothly until I got stick checked in the head at practice one day during the fall of my freshman year. This check resulted in my first concussion and would not be my last. One concussion led to another and eventually ended my lacrosse career.
In college I endured another injury: I herniated two discs in my back which led to other problems including a partially torn oblique muscle.
Since I received a medical red shirt my sophomore year, I took a fifth year but didnt want to risk my body anymore. Many of you are probably wondering what took me so long-- I wonder the same thing--but when sports are your life you will do almost anything to keep them from slipping away. My back was so messed up at this point that even if my head was normal I most likely still would not have been able to play.
I was on board as a student assistant coach for the year and although I struggled with not being able to play, I enjoyed teaching, strategizing and creating plays for the team. It ended up being a great experience and I was able to learn a lot about myself. I graduated in May 2007 with a great education, amazing friends and teammates, leadership experience as a three-year captain, coaching experience, three Atlantic 10 championships, three NCAA appearances, a No. 8 ranking at best and, unfortunately, a pretty damaged body.
A few months after graduation and the end of my Richmond lacrosse run, I moved out to San Diego to start working for the Active Network as an online community coordinator, which is where I am today. I plan on doing a lot in the next year, including coaching lacrosse, experiencing new sporting events, traveling and, most importantly, healing my body so I can go back to leading an active lifestyle. Stay tuned and join me on my journey as I begin life after college.
Sara's Life After College is a blog that will follow my life after graduation from college and from life as a student athlete. Stay tuned and join me on my journey as I begin ?life after college.?

didnt it end off with "my name is strange"?
and yes.."hopeless" was siiiiick. but i must say, that it seemed a bit hurried? sage, is this because there was no audience to feed off of? because when you performed it at the orion in LA, it seemed much longer...

Mission Statement
The mission of the Evinrude E-TEC 150 is to provide a 2-stroke engine, and the resulting fuel savings, while still adding many features that boaters are coming to expect from today's technology.
Distinguishing Features
Coming up with distinguishing features for any of the Evinrude E-TEC models is fairly easy as they offer some distinct advantages not found in their 4 -stroke counterparts. These are features such as…
•No dealer scheduled maintenance--For three years or 300 hours, whichever comes first, there is no scheduled maintenance. For some recreational boaters that can take up to five years.
•No break-in required--The computer controlled engine knows how many hours are on it, and automatically doubles the oil distribution to the cylinders for the break-in period. Once an appropriate amount of hours have been put on the engine, the oil distribution reverts to normal levels. The consumer takes no action.
• No crankcase oil to change--The days of mixing oil and fuel and two-stroke engines are long gone. And with Evinrude E-TEC -- no oil changes at all. Just fill an oil tank and let the engine distribute it, and combust it, as needed.
•Auto winterization--The engine fogs itself automatically in minutes with no trip to the dealer. Boaters in the northern latitudes will especially appreciate this as they can winterize their engines and still be able to take advantage of a winter warm spell and get out on the water again, and then just as easily re-winterize the engine.
•Fewer parts--The Evinrude E-TEC 150 has 195 fewer parts than a typical four-stroke outboard. That means no valves, springs, belts, camshafts or pulleys to adjust or replace.
•Lighter weight--The Evinrude E-TEC 150 weights just 418 lb. (190 kg.) and is one of the lightest 150-hp outboards on the market either 4-stroke or 2-stroke. In fact, one of its competitors weighs nearly 15% more. That means faster hole shots, more efficiency and better handling.
•Bigger alternator--The Evinrude E-TEC 150 puts out 133 amps total, the highest in class. That means more power to run accessories and less drain on the battery.
• 3-year, 300-hour spark plugs--Evinrude uses advanced iridium plugs which have a longer, more efficient spark, and give more hours of service than conventional plugs.
Significant Features
While the technological features are numerous, they do little to impress the end-user. Boaters don't care about injector droplet size or EMM controls in milliseconds. Thankfully the folks at Evinrude do, and it's thanks to these technological advances that its engines are so reliable. But let's focus on the advances that directly affect the end-user and the boating experience.
Digital Controllability
The Evinrude E-TEC 150 uses a system Evinrude calls I-CON. A digital throttle control sends a signal to an electronic servo that is in turn connected to the shift and throttle linkages. The result is a gentle control for both shift and speed. This is a great feature as boaters won't experience cable stretch or linkage problems affecting their control travel. A whole host of features can also be added to the control system. Items such as auto sync and cruise adjust are just simple presses of a button.
The digital world that this engine lives in also comes into play with the I-Command gauges. They're multi function and totally customizable.
The Sound of an Evinrude
Evinrude engines make a very distinct sound, and a lot of engineering goes into generating that sound. The upper and lower shrouds work together to form soundproofing based on the needs of the horsepower and the output of the power head. Instead of having air and sound flow directly into, and out of the enclosed engine, Evinrude engineers a complex route, and by bending the sound waves they are able to produce that trademark Evinrude sound.
Take for example the upper shroud. Air travels in from the back of the shroud and makes and 90-degree bend to travel down, and then up again. This brings air in, but prevents much of the sound from getting out, producing a quieter engine. It also prevents water from entering the engine shroud.
The lower exhaust port is in the shape of a "V" causing the exiting sound to make a series of 180-degree bends which again, serve to tune the sound. It's a small feature to be sure, but one that makes the Evinrude E-TEC produce a very distinctive sound as the boat flies across the lake.
Approved for Saltwater
While nothing can eliminate corrosion in metal parts when combined with warm salt water, Evinrude has gotten on the stick to slow it to a crawl so that it takes a longer time to show itself. The company's engineers tell us that their anti-corrosion approach is a four-part process.
1. A Lyfinite treatment – this is a trademarked process and Evinrude owns the trademark. It puts the first protective coating on the metal components.
2. EDP – Electro Deposition Paint – this is based on the fundamental physics principle that opposites attract. The metal parts are charged with direct current and then immersed in a bath that has oppositely charged paint particles in it. This allows every corner, crack, and crevice to have a continuous even coating over the entire surface of the part.
3.Primer is then added.
4.Finally the finish coat.
In addition, sacrificial anodes (zincs) are added and their job is to deteriorate before any other metal components. They literally sacrifice themselves and are easily replaceable by the end-user. Lastly, all of the fittings are stainless steel, there's no nickel-plated steel anywhere in the engine. Walk up to a competitor's engine with a small magnet and count the number of fittings that you can get the magnet to cling to. Worse, in most cases these fittings are simply painted over.
Electric Trim
Electric trim is not new on outboards, but it's a convenient feature to have. Recognizing that boats come in different shape and sizes, the Evinrude E-TEC 150 comes with a trim limiter switch that is easily adjustable by the owner. This limiter switch will automatically stop the trim function once it reaches a preset limit.
Well Grounded Design
In addition to using Iridium spark plugs which provide a longer and more efficient spark, Evinrude E-TEC spark plug wires are covered with a metallic shroud and the wires lead to a common ground. In this manner, ignition noise is prevented from reaching the electronics at the helm, a pivotal consideration for reducing noise in high-end fishfinders.
The ignition system includes two major components. The injectors (in the image below, arrow to the right) are electronically controlled and distribute precise amounts of fuel into the cylinders for better performance, and better fuel economy whether idling for extended periods or operating at cruise or max speeds. They work by pulsating, much like a stereo speaker to provide exact fuel amounts based on the throttle setting. The "IDI" (left arrow) -- or fast rise inductive ignition -- works in conjunction with the injectors to provide better economy and smoother running engines. They also cause the spark plugs to ignite longer rather than more often, greatly extending the life of the plugs.
This fuel induction system is one of the components most responsible for Evinrude E-TEC's fuel efficiency and performance and it is the envy of many engineers in the industry.
Oil Injection System
With Evinrude E-TEC, boaters simply fill an oil reservoir and let the engine manage its own oil supply. With Evinrude E-TEC the engine management system automatically recognizes that the engine has been operating for a lower amount of hours and correctly pumps the additional amounts of oil to the cylinder sleeves. Once the proper break-in period has past, the oil distribution reverts to its normal levels all without the operator having to take any action.
Additionally, because the system puts precise amounts of oil where it needs to be and when it needs to be, the Evinrude E-TEC burns significantly less oil.
Engine Management Module
The EMM or Engine Management Module is basically the brain of the Evinrude E-TEC system. It controls the oil distribution system which we've just discussed. Also, should the engine inadvertently run completely out of oil, the EMM will kick into a fail-safe mode allowing only a reduced power setting for up to five hours enabling you to still get home. Further, the EMM controls the electronic fuel injectors for precise fuel measurements and is also the connection point for the electronic helm gauges and easy diagnostic connections.
There is also auto winterization. Work the throttle twice with the key on and the EMM will add a minute and a half of fogging to the cylinders, thus winterizing your engine. And this can be done at any time. In other words, when a stretch of warm weather occurs in the winter, boaters can fire up their winterized engines and get right back on the water, and then re-winterized it upon returning.
Self-diagnostics But more importantly to the end-user, are the LED lights located on the side of the EMM. These indicator lights work in conjunction with a label at the top of the EMM to diagnose the engine in start up and running configurations. Being able to diagnose problems at home is a significant improvement as boaters don't have to go to a dealer to pay an hourly charge just to hook up a component to tell them what they may already know.
Fuel Protection
Evinrude E-TEC engines have one of the easiest to change filters in the industry. They come with a 10 micron fuel filter/water separator that simply unscrews much like an oil filter. This is a significant advantage for boaters that tend to be plagued with bad fuel.
Charging System
The Evinrude E-TEC 150 creates electrical power from a magneto, the most reliable power-generating device on the planet. (That's why piston airplanes use them.) At the top of the engine is a flywheel with magnets underneath. Beneath the magnets are coils of wire. As the magnets pass over the coils they generate electricity.
In this manner the Evinrude E-TEC generates 133 amps of electricity, 50 amps dedicated to charging the batteries alone. It's the highest output charging system in its class. More importantly, this is done without belts or pulleys. And with 50 amps dedicated to the batteries alone, boaters are able to operate a significant amount of electronics at the helm without worry. Additionally, if the batteries go bad, the engine will still run completely free of any connection to the batteries. As long as the engine can be started, it will run on its own.
Now let's see how this Evinrude E-TEC performs. We tested this particular engine on two different boats. First was a deckboat with an empty weight of 2,300 pounds (1,043 kg) and a test weight of 3,318 pounds (1,505 kg). The Evinrude E-TEC 150 reached a top speed of 5500 rpm and 43.6 mph. At that speed fuel burn was measured to be 15.2 gph. Best cruise came in at 3000 rpm and 20.6 mph. That's the reduced the fuel burn to only 4.2 gph.
Hole shot. The Evinrude E-TEC 150 generated quick acceleration bringing the boat on plane in just 2.6 seconds, accelerating to 20 mph in 3.8 seconds and continuing through 30 mph in 5.9 seconds.
The second test was conducted on a pontoon boat with an empty weight of 2,295 pounds (1,041 kg) and a test weight of 3,013 pounds (1,367 kg). In this instance top speed was reached at 5650 rpm and 34.9 mph. Fuel burn was 15.7 gph at that speed. Best cruise was reached at 3000 rpm and 16.4 mph. That generated the fuel burn of 4.2 gph.
Clearly the bow configuration plays a big part of the performance. In both instances, the engine performed very well giving no delays throughout the speed range and provided instantaneous responses.
The Evinrude E-TEC system is not only focused on longevity, but also on more immediate direct benefits to the boater. Those are --
Money Saving Benefits: no scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 300 hours, no winterizing expenses, and fuel efficiency.
Performance Benefits: high torque for watersports and fast hole shots, lower weight which means less stern squat and better handling, and 133 amps of output to power more accessories and lower battery drain.
Coupled with the quality of the components, Evinrude intends their Evinrude E-TEC engines to be around for a long time, and that's good news especially to saltwater boaters who frequently have to repower.

OAKLAND -- A bizarre yearlong federal case involving a San Jose man convicted in a doomed FBI-infiltrated plot to blow up an Oakland bank came to a quiet end Thursday with the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney all agreeing his mental illness was the primary driver of his actions.
In accordance with a plea agreement, 29-year-old Matthew Aaron Llaneza was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in connection with the Feb. 8, 2013, scheme to detonate a purported bomb at a Bank of America branch on Hegenberger Road.
Llaneza was contrite and cooperative as he was handed his sentence from Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in an Oakland courtroom.
"I do believe that 15 years is sufficient but not greater than necessary to protect the public and punish you for actions that were, by their nature, terrorist," Rogers said.
Llaneza himself spoke at his sentencing, as his father, Steven, sat in the gallery. He appeared earnest as he accepted his fate.
"I would just like to say I sincerely apologize, and I'm sorry for any misconduct on my part," he said, adding that while in prison he will seek help "so I can live a normal life and conduct myself as a law-abiding citizen."
Llaneza, a Mesa, Ariz., native and convert to Islam who moved to San Jose in the past few years, caught the FBI's attention with online jihadist rants that elicited a higher level of concern after his April 2011 assault-weapons arrest and ensuing conviction after a suicidal episode in front of his father's Berryessa home.
He later came into contact with an undercover FBI agent who plotted along with him the bombing scheme, which Llaneza reportedly said would ignite a civil war in the United States. But when the time came to carry it out, he was arrested after trying to use a cellphone to detonate what the FBI had fashioned as a realistic but ultimately inert dummy bomb.
Given his mental illness -- which includes schizophrenia and bipolar disorder -- the case drew strong rebukes from civil rights groups who accused the government of exploiting a man with a fragile grip on reality and manufacturing a threat for the sole means of defusing it.
There was no evading the fact that Llaneza had engaged in a terrorist ploy, even as questions arose about whether he would have been able to pull it off without the FBI's help. But his 15-year sentence -- half the maximum allowed -- reflected an understanding between all parties that Llaneza needed just as much help as he deserved punishment.
"I wish this had gone in a different direction. I wish this had been diagnosed earlier," said assistant federal public defender Jerome Matthews, referring to his client's illness. "Matthew would never hurt anybody consciously. He feels he needs to follow people, and that got him into a great deal of trouble."
Assistant U.S. attorney Andrew Caputo called the case "challenging," acknowledging the influence of Llaneza's mental state and noting Llaneza timed the planned bombing for the early hours of the morning to minimize casualties.
Judge Rogers honored Matthews' request to recommend he be sent to a federal facility near Mesa, where he grew up and attended high school before an aborted attempt at becoming a Marine, which was followed by years of erratic behavior tied to his mental illness and which culminated in the terrorism arrest.
Rogers was both sympathetic and firm about Llaneza's sentence, which will be followed by lifetime parole. And she postulated about one of the larger takeaways from the case.
"One of my concerns is how mental illness is manifesting itself," Rogers said. "Our failure to deal with mental illness is having serious repercussions on us."

I'm not sure what to make of this, but according to Schefter, the Steelers made an effort to get Jake Long.
Most of the remaining guys on the tackle market appear to be RTs, so I'm not sure if the Steelers would make a play for one of these guys (with Adams/Gilbert to compete at LT) or if their interest was just in an elite LT like Long. Here is the list:Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Just before OT Jake Long agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $36 million with Rams, Steelers made a play to try to get him to Pittsburgh.
If Schefter's report is true, then perhaps the Steelers reported interest in Dumervil is legit.

In the early days of WWII, the Nazis have a secret plan, far grander than simply subjugating an enemy. And three people are caught up in a conspiracy that threatens the fabric of the tapestry of time.
Weaver, the fourth and last novel in my Time's Tapestry series, is an alternate history in which Hitler invades Britain. It is the culmination of a series in which one constant theme has been invasion and conquest—a subject of compelling fascination to us Brits, for, like America, aside from pinprick raids the British homeland has never been invaded—or at least, not for nearly 1000 years.
Of course a German victory in the Second World War has been depicted before in fiction. The Clute-Nicholls Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993) has an entire entry dedicated to 'Hitler Wins'. Even before the war Murray Constantine's Swastika Night (1937) showed a nightmare future in which Hitler is deified and women are kept as breeding animals. And non-fiction books like the What If? series (ed. Robert Cowley, 1999 onwards) contain many essays on how the Nazis could have run their war differently.
Perhaps the most famous of the genre's Hitler-wins works is Philip K Dick's Hugo-winner The Man in the High Castle (1962). But the tradition has continued into the 21st century, with Christopher Priest's justly lauded Clarke-award winner The Separation (2002).
So, more than sixty years later, is there anything left to say about the Nazis? As you might anticipate, my answer is 'yes'.
How could Hitler have won?
My own turning point, in Weaver, is Dunkirk. On 24th May 1940 Panzer General Heinz Guderian was ordered to desist from a final assault on the exhausted British Expeditionary Force—the British Army, trapped in France by the Germans' blitzkrieg advance. The reasons remain obscure: perhaps to do with the generals' concerns that France was not yet defeated, or Hitler's hope that Britain might yet make peace. Certainly the Dunkirk evacuation was a significant morale boost for Britain. Guderian himself (in his book Panzer Leader, 1952) believed that 'only a capture of the BEF … could have created the conditions necessary for a successful German invasion of Britain'.
Even after Dunkirk the Germans could have won by sending over even a small force in early June 1940, when Britain was reeling. Some German generals argued for this at the time. But Hitler went on holiday.
Certainly a different Dunkirk would have boosted the chances of 'Operation Sea Lion', the Nazis' planned invasion. Throughout the summer of 1940 Hitler had river barges assemble in the Channel ports, while the Wehrmacht practiced beach landings, and the Luftwaffe pounded British airfields and radar stations. 'It seemed certain the man was going to try,' Churchill wrote (in Their Finest Hour, 1949).
But the British always had overwhelming naval superiority, and the RAF, with many stations out of range of the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitts, could not have been defeated entirely. On the German side there was inter-service conflict, and Hitler was already turning east to his planned assault on the Soviet Union. In the end the Luftwaffe switched tactics by beginning the 'blitz' on London on 7th September 1940, thus allowing the RAF to recover, and the invasion was postponed and ultimately abandoned.
What if the Germans had made it over the Channel? In Len Deighton's novel SS-GB (1978), the Battle of Britain went badly, and in November 1941 a British copper finds himself involved in a conspiracy to smuggle the ailing King George to America. Deighton is good on the detail of shabby, occupied London, the rationing, the fear, the reprisal executions.
Priest's Separation springs from a different turning point: an armistice between Britain and Germany in 1941. The argument is similar to that developed in the 1990s by revisionist historians like Alan Clark and John Charmley. In early 1941 the German attack on Britain, while ferocious, was stalemated. Hitler had muttered sporadically of peace with Britain. The idea is that with a ceasefire then, Britain could have stood back as Germany and Russia destroyed each other, and emerged powerful and wealthy in a post-war world, rather than bankrupt. Personally I doubt that the British would have settled, having survived 1940; the British thought of themselves as a great power and expected to win wars, not lose them. Also there was genuine moral revulsion at the Nazis. Churchill told the Commons in 1938, 'There can never be friendship between the British democracy and the Nazi Power, that Power which spurns Christian ethics … [which] uses, as we have seen, with pitiless brutality the threat of murderous force'. And there is no guarantee the Nazis would have kept any pact. Hitler attacked Russia despite an accord with Stalin.
But if Britain had fallen, or if there had been an armistice, what about the rest of the war?
Hitler's eventual defeat might have been less certain. Without a western front the German assault on Russia could have been launched earlier and with more resources. Later, without Britain as a launch platform for a D-Day, the American-led Allied invasion of Europe would have been much more problematical. Perhaps North Africa could have been used as a jumping-off point …
And if the Nazis had won, their various insanities would have been unleashed. In Robert Harris's Fatherland (1992), in a different 1964 after Hitler defeated Russia in 1943, an SS officer uncovers a conspiracy among the top Nazis to implement what we know as the Final Solution. Fatherland dramatises the Nazis' grandiose plans for Europe: the monumental new Berlin, the racial cleansings, the vast colonisation pushes east into lebensraum. Brad Linaweaver's Moon of Ice (1988), in which the Nazis got the atom bomb first, is an effective portrayal of the mad mysticism at the heart of the Nazi project, in which the Aryans were the product of a cosmogony in which successive falls of ice moons would eventually result in the return of a race of world-building giants. In Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream (1972) Hitler moved to the US to become a sf writer!—and the Soviet Union conquered Europe.
The most famous of all Hitler-wins books is surely Philip K Dick's The Man in the High Castle, in which the assassination of President Roosevelt leads to the defeat of America by Germany and Japan. This is a book of small lives and small humiliations, with Americans, 'white barbarians', unconsciously adopting the mannerisms of their conquerors. Dick writes of the Nazis in terms of insanity and violations of nature: 'The madmen are in power … German totalitarian society resembles some faulty form of life, worse than [the] natural thing.'
It is easy to glamorise the Nazis—or to think of them as some kind of monster. Dick forces us to face the fact that the Nazis were human.

Is there a way to do this? When I play my MKVs on my computer, Windows Media Player loads up the subtitle. But I can go to vobsub and disable the subtitle.
When I stream the MKV to my PS3, it loads up the subtitles and I can't find a way to disable them. Is there a way to do this?
I have "Definitely Disable Subtitles" checked and "-sid 100" typed in "custom options." I'm running the latest version but I've had this problem in every version.

Their Tools Lost in a Fire, Pratt Artists Receive New Brushes, Canvases
A week after fire tore through a historic building at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, the art school opened a distribution center Friday for students to pick up donated art supplies.
Some 200 students are believed to have lost artwork and supplies in the fire, which gutted the building's sixth floor and caused smoke and water damage on other floors. Most affected are seniors majoring in painting and drawing, who had individual studios on the fifth and sixth floors.
The fire in Pratt's Main Building in Clinton Hill broke out early in the morning on Feb. 15 and required nearly 170 firefighters to extinguish. The city fire department has ruled it accidental, caused by electrical wiring in a cubicle.
Art supplies including brushes, canvases and other tools have been donated by a range of art supply stores, including Utrecht and Daler-Rowney, Pratt spokeswoman Jolene Travis said. More than 3,000 brushes have come in. The selection also includes personal contributions from faculty, Travis said, including some "used, very well-cared for and loved brushes tied in ribbons."

Speakeasy: Rush, Public Enemy, Randy Newman Among Rock Hall of Fame Inductees
The following first appeared on WSJ's Speakeasy blog.
By Ethan Smith
Short people may have a reason to live, after all.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame named Randy Newman, whose bouncy 1977 hit "Short People" declared that diminutive folks "got no reason to live," as one of six performers included in the 28th annual induction ceremony, to be held next April in Los Angeles.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea–himself an inductee in 2012–read off the list of winners at a press conference in L.A. Tuesday.
"I love all hall of fames," said Flea, who wore a lavender wool hat, a red sweater and green pants. "I just the like the idea of a hall of fame."
The other acts being inducted are Heart, Albert King, Public Enemy, Rush and Donna Summer. Quincy Jones and Lou Adler are to be inducted in the non-performer category for executives, producers and other behind the scenes players. Best known for producing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Off the Wall," Jones also has served as an arranger for Duke Ellington, an executive, and a bandleader in his own right.
As in previous years, the nominee pool pitted similar artists against each other: Public Enemy beat out N.W.A.—the rawer and less overtly political West Coast gangsta rap pioneers.
Rush defeated Deep Purple in the informal prog-rock bracket it to make it all the way.
Heart, led by sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson, overcame fellow female 70s rocker Joan Jett. The sisters were the only performer-inductees to attend the Tuesday morning press conference. Guitarist Nancy Wilson used the occasion to poke some fun at her band's status as a repeat nominee, thanking "all the voters who voted for us—finally."
In the blues-god field, King bested the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
Summer beat Chic for the disco vote.
As for the sui generis Newman, it's not clear which of the nominees he was pitted against. Perhaps the Meters, with whom Newman shares a New Orleans heritage, if not much else. They play stripped down instrumental funk; he plays cleverly worded pop songs that as often as not recall the pre-rock era.
For more on Rush go to Backstage Interview with Rush: Going for Laughs and Hall of Fame Status.

This undated image provided by the J. Paul Getty Museum shows a terracotta head depicting the Greek god Hades. The museum plans to return the head to Sicily after determining it was clandestinely excavated from an archaeological site in the 1970s. The museum took initiative to investigate the piece's origins after seeing fragments in a publication that could join to the head, which dates to about 400 to 300 B.C., according to Timothy Potts, the museum's director. The Getty procured the piece in 1985. (AP Photo/J. Paul Getty Museum)

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - The judge in the Colorado theater shootings has reversed himself and given the defense until April 29 to respond to his proposed list of cautions that suspect James Holmes would have to sign before he could change his plea to insanity.
Judge Carlos Samour Jr. last week extended the deadline only until Wednesday, saying Holmes' lawyers didn't need until April 29, as they had asked.
On Monday, Samour game the defense the additional time, noting that prosecutors didn't object. Samour said he hadn't heard from prosecutors before he set the Wednesday deadline.
Holmes is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in the July shootings, which killed 12 and left 70 injured.
A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Philippines International Autism Conference – Day 1
We arrived here in Manila after traveling over 24 hours from NYC to attend the International Autism Conference (IAC). We were greeted royally by media and representatives from the Autism Hearts Foundation (AHF), despite the early local time of 3:30 a.m. After breakfast, one of the major Filipino television networks, GMA, interviewed several of the scientists who will be presenting Wednesday through Friday. Lynda Borromeo, with AHF kicked off the press event and than introduced David Amaral, Ph.D. from the M.I.N.D. Institute. Dr. Amaral spoke of how pleased he was "to see autism research blossom in the Philippines," indicating that working collaboratively was part of the mission of the M.I.N.D. Institute. Autism Speaks' Andy Shih, Ph.D. added that "we will learn from the Filipino autism community which will help us to understand the needs to speed solutions."
Not only will the IAC bring some of the world's most renowned autism researchers to speak to the Filipino autism community, it will also allow for the Filipino autism community to speak back and share their stories with the world. Today, we had the opportunity to speak with a Filipino mother of a 15-year-old child who has autism. She was one of the fortunate parents in the Philippines to have her child diagnosed at a very early age. However for families outside of the capital of Manila, access to diagnostic services and treatment is much harder to come by. She shared some startling statistics. While a large-scale epidemiology study has yet to be conducted in the Philippines, local experts estimate that there are at least 500,000 affected children. Of those 500,000, only five percent ever receive a professional diagnosis. And of those, only two percent receive the necessary intervention services. It is stories like these that will help shed light on the scale of the autism problem in the Philippines and from which, programs can be developed to help address these most dire needs.

New Oracle Solaris/SPARC SIG Launched by IOUG
By RickRamsey-Oracle on Apr 11, 2014
What happens in Vegas ...
... stays in Vegas.
Well, most of it does, anyway.
Collaborate 2014, put on by the Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG), the Oracle Applications User Group (OAUG), and the Quest International User Group was terrific. Great content, great people, great event. And lots of sysadmins!
One of the most interesting things to come out of Collaborate is a new Special Interest Group (SIG) for Oracle Systems technologies, sponsored by Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG). It's called the Solaris/SPARC SIG, but the first meeting covered a lot of ground that included the other technologies in Oracle's Systems portfolio, including engineered systems, storage, networking, and optimized solutions. This perspective on Oracle Solaris is significant because the value of Oracle Solaris becomes increasingly evident when viewed from the perspective of the database, engineered systems like Oracle SuperCluster, and cloud strategies.
So keep an eye on the SIG and join us in future activities. I'll be sure to promote them here, but also keep an eye on the SIG Calendar.
Seth Miller and Ed Whalen, Oracle ACES, were kind enough to tape a couple of video interviews for the OTN Garage. I'll be posting them there soon.

Mythbusters had a special to test some of the more outlandish stunts in Seth Rogen's upcoming Green Hornet picture. His appearance on the show turns out to be a big announcement: "dont' suspend your disbelief!".
Granted, Rogen says at the beginning that to make a good movie, you must throw out all aspects of realism, a point not without merit but ultimately disappointing when one goes to actually see this movie. It may sound complicated, but they begin by testing whether a bulldozer can be blown off the top of a hole in the ground containing the Green Hornet's superhero car, creating an escape route for those in the car, while leaving Kato and the Green Hornet alive. You follow? As you'd expect, insane.
We catch up with Seth, Tory, Kari, and Grant, testing whether a half car can drive after being sawed in half by an elevator. This one, with reservations, is deemed plausible with some less-than-strenuous mythbusting morals.
And then Adam and Jamie do the thing where they add hundreds more pounds of explosives to the test to see if something will come of it. Since this one requires people in a car underground to live, you can pretty much guess the outcome. Cool explosion though.
It's funny to see how far film can be from reality, but it doesn't help the movie to have the star and writer remind you how ridiculous it is for the sake of advertising. This is comic books, and the most hopeful among us have to believe that maybe some day this will be real.

LETTER: Coffee's loyalty inspirational to Tide fans
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
Dear Editor: I was sad to hear that Dick Coffee recently passed away. This 91-year-old was perhaps the University of Alabama's most loyal and dedicated football fan, as he amazingly attended every game since the season opener in 1946, which amounted to 781 consecutive games.
Even inclement weather like torrential rain, snow or heavy winds, or in his later years, being confined to a wheelchair or the loss of hearing couldn't keep him away from games. He was definitely "The Pride of the Crimson Tide."
But he didn't just watch games; he played an active role in the football program, reportedly being instrumental in helping to renew the Auburn-Alabama intrastate rivalry that had gone dormant for decades.
His name may have been Coffee, but he was fine bourbon in my book. The Alabama football program should name something after him, as his loyalty was an inspiration to the program.

National Women's Hall of Fame to induct jockey Julie Krone
ENCINITAS Julie Krone asked for a moment as she figured out how to balance herself on the crooked stump of an acacia tree for photographs at the Winstar Ranch in Encinitas. Laughing with her signature chirps and channeling her inner child and jockey, it was as if Krone was back in Michigan again, proving she could stand on a horse and fly like the wind.
Krone, who lives in Carlsbad with her husband, Eclipse Award-winning Daily Racing Form columnist Jay Hovdey, and their daughter, Lorelei Judith, is the winningest woman jockey of all-time. She's a member of the Horse Racing Hall of Fame, the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame and the U.S. Cowgirl Hall of Fame. But come October, Krone will be inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, N.Y., birthplace of the American Women's Rights movement. The group's mission is "Showcasing great women . . . inspiring all."
Krone, 49, joins 247 women from a wide spectrum of impressive backgrounds, all of whom made significant contributions to society. Past inductees include sharpshooter Annie Oakley, pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart and first woman astronaut Sally Ride. The list also includes some of the country's greatest women athletes and competitors like Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias, a track and field star and outstanding pro golfer who founded the LPGA and tennis great Billie Jean King.
"When I got the invitation in the mail, I thought maybe they made a mistake," Krone said in typical self-effacing humor. "To be honored by the Racing Hall of Fame, that's my peers saying I deserved it. But when the nation puts you alongside women who have done some remarkable things like these women, I'm still in awe over it."
Krone said the induction notice couldn't have come at a better time in her life.
"It's great timing because I'm getting ready to come out with what I've been learning with my horses, Natural Horsemanship," she said. "I want to start talking to large groups as a motivational speaker, so the timing of all this is just bizarre."
Krone has battled depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since leaving the adrenaline junkie game of thoroughbred racing.
"The moments with the thoroughbred gave me back my life force," she said.
She has terrible flashbacks from major spills, the last of which in December 2003 at Hollywood Park forced her to retire after she suffered a broken back. From 1981 to 2004 she rode in 21,411 races, winning 3,704 and $90,125,088 in earnings.
"Julie Krone is the best female jockey who ever rode," said fellow Hall of Fame jockey Steve Cauthen, the last jockey to win the Triple Crown, on Affirmed. "I think a lot of it was her mentality. She was mentally tough in a race. She didn't give an inch. She fought for her position. She had a great style. She was strong. She was naturally the right size and I think that she rode like guys. You didn't want to get in her way. You didn't want to force your way on the inside of her because she made sure you didn't get through."
Said Hall of Famer Laffitt Pincay, Jr.: "Julie was one of the guys. She was really tough out there. She could do anything. She was leading rider in many, many places. When you rode against her you didn't think of her as a woman. She was just another tough rider you had to beat. She was one of the best riders in the country. "
Krone was the first woman to win a Triple Crown race, the Belmont Stakes in 1993 on Colonial Affair, and the first to win a Breeders' Cup race, the Juvenile Fillies aboard Halfbridled in 2003. That same year she was the first (and still only) woman to win Del Mar's $1 million Pacific Classic, on Candy Ride for Sid and Jenny Craig and Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally. She is the first and only woman jockey to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated (May 1989) and one of only eight jockeys to ever grace the SI front.
"The transition from athlete to civilian is absolutely traumatizing, devastating," she said. "I recently started meditating to help with the transition. Donna Barton Brothers (former jockey and NBC Triple Crown reporter) made the transition smoother and healthier than I did. Donna has been guiding me with the meditation and I'm really having good results with it."
Any interview with Krone is a whirlwind ride, like the chaos she describes in a race, filled with great anecdotes, one-liners, inside backstretch humor, even acrobatics on a crooked tree stump. She was in top form recently at her friend Kimberly Carville's Winstar Ranch in Encinitas, where Krone's palomino quarter horse, Miss Piggy, is stabled. Krone is practicing her ever-growing talent of Natural Horsemanship, learned early from her mother, Judi, and later from her mentors, Pat and Linda Parelli, who specialize in training horses without force. She has an ambitious and artistic plan for a performance with another horse, her thoroughbred, at Del Mar's Night of the Horse next year. This year's is on April 20 at 7 p.m. at Del Mar and features equine extremist Tommie Turvey, who will host a horse training clinic at Winstar May 3-5 (check www.turveyhorseman.com).
"What a frosting all this is," Krone said of the National Women's Hall of Fame induction. "It's like jet fuel. It's like I was pedaling a bike, but now I have jet fuel behind me."
With that she balanced both legs up on that acacia stump just to prove she could do it. Julie Krone is flying again, maybe not as high as she did in the irons with Candy Ride or Colonial Affair, but with her new best friends, Miss Piggy and Cannon. The good thing is that the Hall of Fame rider is fine with that.

Here's Why It's Complicated
ALEXA HIRSCHFELD: The question of whether to raise capital from friends and family is a complicated one which has no right answer. My general advice is to proceed with caution and that anything more prescriptive can only be answered on a case-by-case basis. Given that disclaimer, here is how I've seen of friends-and-family capital work:
A bridge loan vs. participation in a "round"
A bridge loan isn't a "round" of financing; it's a loan wherein the entrepreneur either pays the lender back or, if an actual round materializes, the lender's capital converts to an equity investment in the company at the time of the next financing. If a lender's capital does convert, it is often at a discount (of say 12% to the share price at the time of the round). This means that things like valuation and investment terms do not need to be established for the loan to happen—these are only negotiated if a round materializes. This allows an entrepreneur to avoid a potentially awkward negotiation with a friends-and-family investor. In the upside scenario, the bridge loan allows the company to continue to operate, meet key goals and buy time to negotiate with various outside investors to reach a favorable equity round down the line.
In the downside scenario, the investment from outside investors never materializes, or the company goes out of business, and the entrepreneur pays the lender back with interest (at say an 8% annual compound rate). Generally, there is less money involved in this kind of transaction than there is with a permanent equity financing, and the fact that it is debt with interest helps keep the entrepreneur honest when thinking about exactly what he or she needs.
Participation in a permanent equity financing (a "round")
In this scenario, your friends-and-family investor becomes a shareholder in your company as a direct result of the transaction. This presents legal and philosophical questions that you will want to think carefully about. I would advise against structuring and negotiating a round with only friends-and-family investors, and suggest instead a situation where you negotiate a price and terms with an outside investor and then allow friends-and-family investors to come in to fill out the round.
Like with bridge loans, this may be a necessary measure to facilitate a round led by professional investors, but there are several things you'll still want to consider before proceeding. First, consider the fact that this friends-and-family investor will become someone that you will now indirectly be working for (in addition to yourself). They will have standard control and voting rights (the higher the number of shares they purchase, the more they will have). Also consider what could happen to your personal relationship in the scenario wherein you lose your company and your family investor loses their money.
Raise only what you need
My recommendation is to take capital from friends and family only if you need it to get through a phase of building to reach a specific milestone (such as the next financing or an important revenue inflection point). As with any type of financing, the capital you raise from a friends-and-family investor should be as much as you need and no more, give or take a conservative amount of padding. People talk a lot about entrepreneurs taking risks, but an important qualifier to remember is that those risks are often very carefully calculated when they work.
Take the leap yourself first
I recommend spending your own time and/or money for as long as you can to get a real sense of whether you should be taking money from friends, family or anyone else to launch a startup. Early in a company's life your job is to define your initial offering clearly, as well as find out as quickly as possible with as little capital as possible whether to really proceed.
This could be as simple as making a paper wireframe of your idea and showing it to a few potential target users. It could mean sending a survey to a list of potential customers with a bunch of mockups of a site you haven't yet built. It could mean keeping your day job for longer than you think, to research the competitive landscape and better define the product you're going to offer without creating the pressure to raise capital to proceed. Once you feel comfortable taking the leap yourself, you will also be more likely to feel comfortable taking any kind of outside capital to support you.
Note: If your friend / family is either a co-founder or if a professional investor or experienced professional in the particular field of your company – I have not answered your situation in this post.

Even though Melt is pretty new, it makes for a solid opener here. Ok Kee Pa > Suzy was good, though Suzy had a lot of cuts in the recording. There was some funny stage banter from Trey before an ok Rocky Top was played. Fee was also just ok in my book. Sky was pretty good, and is starting to really come together over all and rock. Bag was good, as was the new My Sweet One from Fishman. Old tape flips and/or poor editing cut most of YEM, which is kind of a let down. You get to hear the ending jam though, which was funny, but standard. La Grange sounded a little off to me, and was kind of a weak cover to close up first set.
Hood is a solid second set opener, and the new Gin is still settling in and getting better each time. Mike's was good, the usual seven minutes for this time period. Hydrogen was pretty good, and Weekapaug rocked until the recording cut it off. Bummer... I didn't go looking for another source, so that's all I heard of this one. Looks like they played a really fun back half to the second set and had great encores too.
Again, not bad, not awesome, just a nice, average fall '89 show. Check it out if you're into old school Junta and Lawn Boy material.

Chris Canfield has 10 years experience in real estate and has lived in Summit County since 2001. He is a broker with Coldwell Banker Rounds & Porter in Breckenridge. You can reach him at (970) 485-2685 or online at chriscanfield.summit.mlxchange.com.Q: Where did you grow up? I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.Q: What do you love about Summit County? I love the fact that I can have a great career and still recreate all summer and winter! I also think Summit County is just the right size, with a perfect mix of current friends and soon-to-be friends.Q: What do you enjoy doing when you're not working? Mountain biking is my ultimate passion.Q: What is your specialty? I just finished developing a "spec" home in the Highlands. I plan to take advantage of the low land costs by designing and marketing "mountain-modern" homes, which I feel are in demand. There really is a dearth of inventory in this genre. Q: What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? I absolutely love getting to know my clients personally, and finding out what really makes them tick. Like snowflakes, no two clients are alike. By listening carefully, and working smart, the buying and selling process can be fun for everyone involved, and stress can be kept to an absolute minimum. I find that most all my clients become friends and will refer me to their friends. I find that extremely gratifying.Q: What is the most unique property you've listed or sold? I guess the most unique property would have to be my current listing on Hamilton Court. With a curved deck and ultra-modern architecture, it really stands out in a crowded market. The feedback from prospective buyers and acquaintances has been unequivocally positive.Q: What are the top three things that separate you from your competitors? I like to think that I stand out amongst others due to my creativity, attention to detail throughout the entire sales process, and my ability to work positively with the many parties involved in each transaction. There are always hiccups waiting to happen in this business, and if I can foresee and pre-empt these hurdles, transactions will progress from contract to close with an absolute minimum amount of stress to all involved.Q: What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? Be realistic and informed if you are selling. In today's market, homes that are priced properly will sell quickly. For buyers in this market, it is important to acknowledge that this market has indeed bottomed. While there are still great deals out there, we all have to understand that submitting "low ball" offers may well backfire and cost the buyer in the end. Buyers that make fair, informed and reasonable offers stand a great chance to acquire their dream home.Q: What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices? I am quite confident that we will continue to see a surge in sales and a continuation of price stability. The inventory has been properly "cleansed" and the laws of supply and demand are in full force! Q: Why should someone chose you as their real estate broker? I am honest and forthright. I am always available for my clients, and never take anything for granted. Until a buyer has found and closed on their dream property, or a seller has been able to garner a great price for their home, my job is not yet done. Q: Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself? I have a wonderful and beautiful wife, Kari, who is also a real estate broker, two amazing daughters attending CU-Boulder, and a new puppy, Rosko. I skied with the U.S. Disabled Ski Team and competed in the Torino 2006 Paralympics, and I can't get enough of my ultimate passion of mountain biking.
Chris Canfield was selected as this week's Agent Spotlight in Summit Homes & Properties. Canfield was asked to provide information to a standard set of questions designed to help the reader learn more about him.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Pewter), 621 (Distressed Nickel), 622 (Matte Black), 716 (Aged Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Lacquered or clear-coated finishes should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. A mile soap may be lightly used if very dirty. Particular care should be taken to avoid paint smears, thinners and strong cleaning agents as they will quickly destroy the protective coatings and subject the finished to rapid oxidation and discoloration. Initial care for finishes requires only periodic cleaning with mild non-abrasive soap and light buffing with a soft cloth.
Finish: 613
(Oil Rubbed Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a little vegetable oil on a soft cloth. Too much oil may leave a residue to come off on the hands. Household detergents and mild abrasive powder may be used to restore the high metal color without seriously affecting the original compound of the metal. Then rub with a paste wax.
Finishes: 625
(Bright Chrome), 626
(Satin Chrome)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a soft damp cloth. A high grade chrome polish may be used according to directions to clean and restore the original shine or satin finish.

USA, 2011, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Cult, Music, Sci-Fi, ThrillerLanguage: English
Special Late-Night Engagement MUST END Thursday, March 22nd at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax
Digital presentation - In a dystopian future, a relentless turf war rages. Two rival gangs feud for control of rural wasteland Frazier Park ('The FP') in the deadly arena of competitive dance-fight video game "Beat-Beat Revelation." After hometown hero BTRO is slain on the dance platform by thug leader L Dubba E, his protégé younger brother JTRO (Jason Trost) goes into isolation, vowing never to duel again. One year later, The FP is in ruins, and JTRO must find the courage to return and restore order in a ruthless battle for revenge that can only leave one man dancing. From the producers of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and featuring narration by James Remar (THE WARRIORS), THE FP is a fury of fierce footwork, triumphant montages and neon street wear that Moviefone calls "a rare ready-made cult hit."
