"We were thrilled and delighted to be able to tell Alastair that he was going to be the big brother to a little baby, expected just before Mummy's 40th birthday," the couple said.
Stewart, 65, has five other children from previous relationships, in addition to a 4-year-old son, Alastair, with Lancaster, 39.
No word on whether the upcoming arrival is a girl or a boy. Either way, Stewart is likely to encourage him or her to play soccer.
"I did take [Alastair] out on the football field the other day," he told the British talk show GMTV in November. "I said, 'Come on, let's get running out there,' and he went, 'Oh, there's some flowers for mummy – must collect them.' He spent about two hours collecting flowers in a basket for his mum!"
Stewart and Lancaster wed in Portofino, Italy, in 2007.

Toward An International Law of Piracy Sui Generis: How the Dual Nature of Maritime Piracy Law Enables Piracy to Flourish
Lucas Bento
New York University
September 25, 2010
Berkeley Journal of International Law (BJIL), Vol. 29, No. 2, 2011
This article explores the divergence between international and national legal responses to maritime piracy, and it addresses the benefits of a unified international legal framework. Current domestic, regional and international legal frameworks fail to adequately combat the nature and scale of maritime piracy, which increasingly impacts the shipping, global manufacturing and tourism industries and which governments now consider to be a serious problem. As of yet, no unified legal approach exists to address the problem of modern piracy. The crux of the argument advanced in this article is that an inadvertent – yet dangerous – bifurcation of legal developments has unfolded within the field of maritime piracy, consequently creating a body of law that lacks harmony.

Four reasons you don't want to use open source software
What's keeping you from using open source software?
Open source software (OSS), unlike proprietary software, is software that keeps the code open so IT professionals can alter, improve, and distribute it. Although it has been around since relatively early in the history of computers, in the past several years OSS has truly taken off, in what some might see as a surprising example of a successful communal collaboration.
OSS can be used in any type of software, from word processing to cloud computing to EDI (electronic data interchange). Some of the most famous and ubiquitous pieces of software, such as Linux and Mozilla Firefox, are OSS, yet some people are still hesitant to use less well-known pieces of open-source software. If you're like most people, probably one of the following reasons is preventing you from using open source software. Below, we'll take a look at whether your reasons are right.
Reason 1: We need too much support
One of the biggest advantages of OSS is that as long as you have someone with the know-how, you can completely customize the software to your needs. Because of the monies saved on licensing fees, using OSS is beneficial even if you don't do any customization; however, if you do customize, you'll need someone on hand who knows how to use open source software.
In addition, most proprietary software includes free tech support from the company, while OSS companies charge for those services. But this fee is countered by the fact that the code is open source, making it easier for your IT team to learn how to use it.
Another reason that people think they need too much support while using OSS is that this type of software has a reputation for being relatively inaccessible to the average user. Unlike proprietary software, which is tested extensively for user-friendliness, OSS software is often written by and for computer professionals. Choosing your software wisely helps eliminate this potential issue.
Reason 2: It infringes on intellectual property
You can negotiate with proprietary software companies about indemnification for intellectual property (IP) infringement, but that's not possible with OSS companies. Plus, the rules that govern IP for OSS are complex. However, you can counter this issue by purchasing indemnification insurance through a third-party vendor like OpenLogic. In either situation, reading the terms of the license helps mitigate the risk of committing IP infringement.
Reason 3: It isn't reliable
Often without strong central management, the OSS community must identify and provide solutions for errors with the software. This leads some to worry that problems will not be fixed, as compared to traditional software, which has centralized management and a dedicated team of developers to fix any issues.
In reality, the opposite is true. Repeatedly, issues with OSS are quickly fixed thanks to the work of the community members, whereas with a proprietary software company, users need to wait for the release of the next software update to fix a bug.
Reason 4: It isn't secure
This is perhaps the biggest misgiving that people express regarding OSS: Since the code is open, any opportunist can identify and exploit the program through hacking and viruses. Proprietary software companies, on the other hand, have team members dedicated to ensuring the security of their software.
Some risk is associated with using any software, and the overall risk associated with OSS is not higher than with any other type of software. While it's true that anyone can look at and potentially exploit the code, it's also true that anyone can look at the code to identify potential causes of security breaches and address them immediately. What's more, as long as someone is on your team who knows how to use open source software, you can examine the software before using it, and thus determine the level of risk associated with using it.
The concerns that people have about OSS are not completely unfounded, but each concern can be mitigated with an understanding of the software in question. In many cases, using this type of software helps companies save money while also getting a product that is better suited to their needs. Once your company learns how to use open source software - and how to mitigate some of the risks associated with it - you, like many others, may reap great benefits.

All excellent points. Hopefully more people wake up to the many benefits of using and supporting free and open source software.
"OSS software is often written by and for computer professionals."
I do not agree completely with this statement.
It think it has more to do with the way proprietary software is marketed compared to OSS.
To lump all OSS licenses together makes no sense. GPL is a nightmare and no for profit start up with any kind of decent legal can or should use it.
The IP issue isn't infringement, it is keeping the IP you do create yours. GPL is a big sponge sucking all your work in. Other OSS licenses draw reasonable boundaries.
GPL requires only that you feed back to the community changes you have made to the software if you choose to distribute the resulting software. If you choose to keep the software internal to your company, and not distribute it outside your company, you are free to make all the modifications you want and keep them all to yourself.
There is no requirement to make public any software you develop so long as you do not choose to distribute it. If you want to use OSS developers as free, as in beer, labor then GPL is not for you.
The main issue for my point of view is the lack of continuity on some projects and besides even we offer work force to accelerate development, still project guide lines are missing.
At the end we just end up developing a software solution from scratch there is a lot of methods to create software and without standards is very hard.
Another thing is the rule change i.e. Sugarcrm which started as opensource then move forward to "Community" an commercial versions.
From my point of view as opensource users, evangelist and so on will be best to join companies and enthusiast under a common name, maybe using Ubuntu schema, who knows!!!
From my end am using only opensource operating systems such as Fedora, Centos and some cases Ubuntu, we were unable to make the SaS model with opensource applications.
Thank you.
I want but actual computers are protected against open source OSs and many hardware manufacturers, especially those that uses microsoft windows.
As an individual, I use OSS whenever possible, from my linux servers and laptop to my word processor software, and more. I use proprietary software when I have to because sometimes it just fits my needs better. For me it's not a philosophical, political, or even an economic issue. I go where I need to get the best solution for my needs.
Watching all the MCSE troll-posts here is really amusing, because I used to be an MCSE and a big Microsoft fan. FOSS (Free/Open Source Software) provides a huge benefit. Not only do you get the source code, but your maintenance is lower, your hardware requirements are generally lower, and in many cases it's actually easier to use than proprietary "solutions". I've put several Microsoft users on Kubuntu and LibreOffice, and they've never looked back. The Firefox + NoScript combination is about the best combination for surfing the 'Net. I use my Ubuntu box as a multimedia production station. VLC is the best all-around media player, hands-down, with MPlayer a pretty darn close second. Audacity is an excellent audio mixer, and Kdenlive is likewise a fine video editor.
And don't even get me started on the server side; if you're actually on the Internet, FOSS solutions reign supreme. Apache and Nginx are the two most popular Internet Web servers for very good reason; they work well. GNU/Linux and *BSD are the main platforms for Internet servers because they're actually good at it, unlike Microsoft's offerings. Apple's offering, OS X, is decent at it...because it's based on FreeBSD, a FOSS platform.
Remember, everyone, no matter what type of system you have, you need qualified people on your staff. That includes the Microsoft, Apple, GNU/Linux, BSD, or any other solutions. Getting qualified people for FOSS solutions is easy today. Actually, it wasn't that hard 20 years ago, either; remember, the Internet was originally built on FOSS from its inception (the original BSD UNIX, Sendmail, etc.), so this is nothing "new". It's just gotten more press time in the last 15 years, that's all.
...OSS software is often written by and for computer professionals.
As an avid OpenSource user, I still find this to be a problem.
Looking for assistance with the search functions in LibreOffice Writer, I got multiple responses like, "if you can't parse REGEX, you should just give up and install Word."
A less enthusiastic user would likely do just that. Proponents and advocates of OpenSource need go above and beyond to help... or keep their mouths (and fists) shut.
As an aside, I found the answer to this (and many) problems with Tomas Bilek's fantastic "AltSearch" extension (http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/alternative-dialog-find-repl...).
Guys, don't feed the trolls.
While I largely agree with the article, you severely understate the support side of the article.
For smaller projects that require little support, or bigger ones where there are support companies that can provide good support, then the support issue can be handled fairly easily.
The problem is projects that may require a fair amount of support, but there isn't a large enough customer base to justify other companies to provide that kind of support (that could happen if the software needed to be purchased with maintenance).
If you are in a organization that can afford/justify the staff needed to handle project yourselves, then that wouldn't inherently be an issue. If you are a smaller organization that can't justify the staff, but can more easily justify the cost of a support contract, then support can be a HUGE difference between open source and commercial.

Just the timing of it more than anything says Minnesota to me. We know Parise and Suter have kept in contact the past couple days. Just reading between the lines, seems like Suter is pulling the strings. Parise was sold on going to the Wild, but only if Suter did too and maybe he finally decided that he would.
The fact both will announce today says package deal. That certainly doesn't eliminate Detroit, but it doesn't look too promising either.
Maybe I'm crunk or something, but I really don't follow.

LISBON - Three Columbiana County properties owned by a company swept up in a federal probe involving the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School were sold for a combined $500,000.
The properties - owned by Palatine Development LLC - include two parcels on Calcutta-Smith Ferry Road in St. Clair Township that were searched in July by the FBI and IRS agents as part of a federal grand jury investigation. The probe is believed to be of former or current PA Cyber officials and not the school itself, according to stories published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The third parcel is an office building in downtown East Liverpool, between Washington Street and Broadway, which listed Lincoln Interactive and the National Network of Digital Schools as having offices there. The building was previously occupied by the former Caballi Jewelry & Gift shop.
The buyer in each case was JP Ohio Real Estate LLC, whose agent is listed as local businessman James Pastore Jr., 11988 state Route 45, Lisbon. Articles of incorporation for JP Ohio were filed about a month ago.
The properties on Calcutta-Smith Ferry Road are a 16-acre parcel that includes a home and a 2-acre parcel containing a commercial building used for classrooms and offices, according to the county auditor's office, where the transaction was recorded. The sale price was a combined $400,000.
The East Liverpool office building sold for $100,000.
According to Post-Gazette stories, Palatine was created by Brett Geibel, the former PA Cyber technology director, who left to become senior vice president for National Network Digital Schools (NNDS), which provides management and curriculum services to PA Cyber.
Palatine's property in St. Clair Township was rented to NNDS and Avanti Management Group, an educational consulting firm Geibel helped found that provided services to NNDS.
Palatine was in the news again last month when the Post-Gazette reported the company purchased the Florida condominium of PA Cyber founder and former CEO Nick Trombetta for $10. Trombetta, who resigned in June, purchased the condo in April 2011 for $933,000 and sold it to Palatine in December.

LOCKPORT – For the third consecutive year, the Niagara County Health Department received a perfect score from the state Health Department on emergency preparedness.
Public Health Director Daniel J. Stapleton said Tuesday that the 100 percent score in the review, conducted Oct. 22, came despite budget cuts and increasing state and federal mandates in the readiness sphere.
The state report said Niagara County's "attention to detail and completeness of their plans, attachments and reference materials is a model for other jurisdictions. … Niagara County takes planning beyond the requirements and should continue to think forward and prepare for all-hazards responses."

Apple CEO Tim Cook Fires Back About Asian Suppliers' Worker Abuse Claims

Apple CEO Tim Cook's "How Dare You" face
(Source: timeinc.net)
Cook said he is outraged by the claims and that Apple cares about every one of its workers
Earlier this week,
The New York Times
published its second installment of its iEconomy series, which focused on
the treatment of workers at Apple's suppliers over in China
. After the report described the harsh environment that these employees must endure in great detail, Apple CEO Tim Cook jumped to defend his company, saying he was "outraged" by the claims.
The report dug deep into Apple's recent history with suppliers and the treatment of individuals working for these suppliers. While Apple's supplier code of conduct requires that "working conditions in Apple's supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible," it doesn't seem that any of these requirements are being strictly enforced.
In fact,
The New York Times
discovered it was quite the opposite. Apple was accused of sweeping the mistreatment of suppliers' workers under the rug in order to continue fast, cheap production of its latest gadgets at low production costs.
In response, Cook sent the following email to Apple employees:
As a company and as individuals, we are defined by our values. Unfortunately some people are questioning Apple's values today, and I'd like to address this with you directly. We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern. Any suggestion that we don't care is patently false and offensive to us. As you know better than anyone, accusations like these are contrary to our values. It's not who we are.
For the many hundreds of you who are based at our suppliers' manufacturing sites around the world, or spend long stretches working there away from your families, I know you are as outraged by this as I am. For the people who aren't as close to the supply chain, you have a right to know the facts.
Every year we inspect more factories, raising the bar for our partners and going deeper into the supply chain. As we reported earlier this month, we've made a great deal of progress and improved conditions for hundreds of thousands of workers. We know of no one in our industry doing as much as we are, in as many places, touching as many people.
At the same time, no one has been more up front about the challenges we face. We are attacking problems aggressively with the help of the world's foremost authorities on safety, the environment, and fair labor. It would be easy to look for problems in fewer places and report prettier results, but those would not be the actions of a leader.
Earlier this month we opened our supply chain for independent evaluations by the Fair Labor Association. Apple was in a unique position to lead the industry by taking this step, and we did it without hesitation. This will lead to more frequent and more transparent reporting on our supply chain, which we welcome. These are the kinds of actions our customers expect from Apple, and we will take more of them in the future.

The New York Times
report seems to have hit close to home with Cook. The report described the daily lives of Apple's suppliers' employees, such as those at Apple's top electronics supplier Foxconn. Employees here complained of long working hours and overtime, where many worked 12-hour days at six or more days per week. Some employees' legs would swell from standing so long as shifts ran 24 hours per day. According to Apple's code of conduct, employees are not to work over 60 hours per week.
Even after the shift ends, 70,000 of Foxconn's employees are crammed into tiny dorms. As many as 20 employees are stuffed into a three-bedroom apartment.
Long, tiring days are not the end of the worker's troubles. The factories' conditions inside have posed life-threatening risks to employees. For instance, the collection of aluminum dust inside Foxconn's factories in Chengdu and Shanghai resulted in
two separate explosions
. The first occurred in May 2011 in Foxconn's Chengdu factory, and the second occurred in the Shanghai factory in December 2011.
Foxconn also experienced other worker-related issues, such as riots and
when employees began disputing the long hours and little pay.
One current Apple executive, who remains anonymous, said customers are more concerned with the timely release of
the latest iPhone
than the working conditions of factory workers in China.

When Cane Bay made the jump up to Class AAAA after two years each at classifications below, people wondered just how the Cobras would fit into the state's largest division.
As it turned out, they appeared to be ready quickly. The Cobras came right out of the corner swinging and stymied perennial state power Summerville in a 10-3 victory that served notice they were ready.
"With us moving up, I think we snuck up on some people," Cane Bay coach Russell Zehr said. "… We played a really good game (against Summerville) and they made some key mistakes that helped us. It was probably the best game we played all year."
The Cobras went on to win six football games in 2012 and made the playoffs.
A new season has arrived and the Cobras travel to Flowertown on Thursday as Summerville eyes revenge.
On offense, the Cobras will rely heavily on quarterback Devin Kilgore and running back Ramonte Frasier. They are the top two players coming back on that side of the ball. Kilgore has good mobility and a strong arm and figures to makes some stellar plays.
"I think he's one of the top quarterbacks in the Lowcountry," Zehr said. "… His mechanics have gotten better. His strength has gotten better. His mind has gotten better. The biggest thing for him is just getting comfortable back there with the new offense."
The Cobras return leading tackler Matt Rudy to anchor the defense.
Summerville has the home-turf advantage and seems to have fewer concerns heading into this season than it did last year. One of its top players said the Wave is prepared for the new campaign on the gridiron.
"I think we are pretty strong," said Summerville senior Darin Smalls, a South Carolina commitment. "As a team we look way better now than we did at the start of last season so hopefully that will make a difference."
Smalls is one of 10 starters returning to Summerville, which has a total of 17 lettermen back from last year.
The game will be televised locally on myTVCharleston. The Cobras were 1-1 in televised games last fall, rallying to defeat Colleton County 26-21 on myTVCharleston and losing to Goose Creek 55-0 on ESPN3.
After Summerville, the Cobras host Fort Dorchester on Sept. 6 and travel to Berkeley on Sept. 13.

LAHAINA The melodic celebrating could be heard from busy Front Street on Sunday afternoon as members of Holy Innocents Episcopal Church marked 150 years of ministry in West Maui.
A crowd of about 150 people packed the church's pews. Plastic chairs had to be set up outside the open-air building to accommodate an overflow of people.
The Rev. William Albinger - affectionately known as Father Bill - credited the parish's longevity to faithful members who have served for generations. He said the church's location in Lahaina also helps draw tourists from around the world.

About 150 people packed Holy Innocents Episcopal Church, which marked 150 years of ministry in West Maui. Plastic chairs had to be set up outside the open-air building to accommodate the crowd.
The Maui News / NANEA KALANI photo
The Rev. William Albinger conducted the 150-year anniversary service Sunday at Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. The church's first services were conducted in December 1862 at Hale Aloha in Lahaina.
The Maui News / NANEA KALANI photo
Albinger said Sunday's celebration represented two historic events: the 1862 establishment of the parish in Lahaina and the so-called Feast Day of the Holy Sovereigns, King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma.
In 1862, Queen Emma wrote to Queen Victoria of England, asking that a clergyman be sent to establish the church in Hawaii.
"They upped the ante and sent a bishop," Albinger said.
The Right Rev. Thomas Nettleship Staley arrived in Honolulu in November 1862 and confirmed King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma as members of the Church of England. Staley then sailed to Lahaina to establish the parish. The first services were conducted in December 1862 at Hale Aloha in Lahaina.
"The reason we are celebrating on this day is because it is after Thanksgiving and before the Christmas 'crazies,' '' Albinger said. "It's celebrating a 19th century tradition by 21st century standards."
Holy Innocents' original church was built in 1872 on the mauka side of Front Street. The land under the existing church at 561 Front St. was acquired in 1908 and the present church was built in 1927.
Albinger said the church has had to adapt to survive. For example, he recently added a 5:30 p.m. service on Sundays at the request of young families who said they have other obligations such as soccer and baseball practices earlier in the day.
The church opens its doors to other community groups, including the Free Church of Tonga and the Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays organization. In 1974, a preschool was added.
While the church has adapted to the times, ancestors of current members have worshipped at Holy Innocents from the beginning, a news release announcing the event said. A seventh-generation child of a church family was recently baptized.
Albinger said he hopes that Maui's families carry on their religious traditions, helping to ensure that their keiki will be sitting in the church's pews celebrating Holy Innocents' 200th anniversary.

It seems that it isn't too long after I customize or have a project gun to work on, that I am on the lookout for another. It is not an excuse to hoard or buy another gun, but has more to do with my creative side. Something a little different; something unique to my tastes, etc. Anyone else have this quirk; this gun tinkering, creative thing?

share your opinion of elfen lied bellow
gory little girls telepathicly de organing and crusifying other little girls and dog slaughtering I love the show anyways The Greatest Clan In Death and Universe... The Zombaukto Clan *
So yeah, I do like it. Its a sad love story and its very good. Very gorey though... =/
i don't say much because theres not much to say
yea its a awesome lots of gore and blood
I have all the dvd's unless there are more i don't know about. Either way, its as i said, Awesome.
I'm currently watching the series. I'm upto episode 9. The series is very bloody and sexually explicit, especially in the first episode. This almost made me stop watching, because it felt like it had no substance. The show gets more engaging when they introduce Kouta, Yuka and Mayu; they show each of these characters and their different psychological problems and this makes it very moving. There still is fanservice, like Nyuu running around naked or her fondling people inappropriately, but at least it now seems it is a secondary element. Ikki Tousen is pretty much pure fanservice and although it has good animation and character designs, as well as good action sequences with good music, it is ecchi. I think my favorite character so far is the Diclonius Nana (7).
I liked the story and character development... but I found the ending weak and it left me wishing for more closure... or more story.
first i watched for the echi factor and then i left for other anime because i am really not able to buy any products for it so i cant do anything because i am doing this all behind my parents back. i whent to lucky star, then robotech on manga then ikki tousen which lead me to a websight called danborou which i looked up elfen lied just for old times then i actually thought about the cool story. so i am now back on it
in general as a whole leaves your mind numb with bloody facts of their life and this fealing never leaves you as limbs and body parts are torn assunder by the diclonius's vectors. I love it!

I prefer a lightweight ring sling, not double-layered, and maybe made of linen or cotton. Mei tais are great as I feel that the air flow can get to Mom & baby easier, and woven wraps are also ideal as it also has only one layer compared to other carriers.
If you're going to be by water, a mesh water sling like this one from Nest is fantastic, and also something I used everyday in the shower with Gray as a newborn!
From Heather- I would LOVE first hand observations of the $$$$ slings and wraps.
In the first class I attended at the babywearing conference, an instructor was wearing a Psling. Oh my. So beautiful and from what I could see, and how she described her experience with it, yes- it is worth the money! I was very impressed by the make and feel of the Oopa Slings that were at the SoBeBabies booth. I also saw firsthand the Didymos and Storchenwiege wraps, both of which I found to be equal in quality and heard from other babywearers that either are great woven wraps.
From Madeline- I want to know if its possible to carry a baby beyond 35 lbs.
As long as it is comfortable for you, it is possible to carry a baby beyond 35 lbs. Many carriers suggest up to 40 lbs. The best way to carry a larger baby is on your back in a two-shoulder carrier such as a wrap or mei tai. You'll want to use a woven wrap, and not a stretchy wrap as it will sag after about 20 lbs. If you are concerned about getting baby on your back, use someone to help you or a mirror for the first few times, and maybe try using a baby doll or a bag of rice before trying it out with baby.
From Kim- I have a 14 month old who is only 16 lbs, so I carry her everywhere. I am also 5 1/2 months pregnant - so I am wondering what you have found that works. I am really running out of room for her on my front and side.
Babywearing while pregnant is not something that is often heartily recommended, but it is possible. Some tips I got were to wear baby in a mei tai or podaegi up high on your back, with the straps tied in the Tibetan tie above your belly. And another Mom told me how she wore her baby while 9 months preggo by using the Ergo with straps under the belly and resting on her hips.
I personally stopped wearing Gray after a few months pregnant because it just wasn't very comfortable for me.
From Seeryus Mama- What is the best carrier to carry your baby so they are facing out?
This is something else that I was surprised to learn about at the babywearing conference. Wearing your baby facing out is not recommended! For newborns, the main problem is overstimulation. For mom, especially as baby gets larger, your center of gravity is much better when baby is facing you.
Most carriers that are made for facing out, such as the Baby Bjorn, have the baby's legs and feet hanging straight down in front, which is not good for the baby's hips and spine. The pressure on the crotch artery can also make baby's feet go numb.
If your baby is going to be worn facing out, the Kangaroo Carry with feet in is best- you can do this in a ring sling, pouch, and wrap. If they must have their legs hanging out, it would be best in a stretchy wrap or a wrap hybrid like the Baby Ktan. Try to make sure their legs are spread froggy style rather than hanging straight down. The best way to get baby used to not facing out is to never give them the option!
If you have a babywearing question, please feel free to email me or leave it in the comments below! Stay tuned for Your Babywearing Questions part 2!
I'll be posting all about babywearing and birth stories in the coming week. You can subscribe to my feed here. Also, join the Babywearing Bloggers blogroll if you'd like!

The Buffalo Public Schools' per-student spending is the third highest among large districts in the United States, according to a recent study by the Center for Governmental Research in Rochester.
The district spent $26,903 per student in 2010, according to the study.
Two other districts in the state also ranked among the 10 districts spending the most. New York City ranked fourth, at $24,780 per student; Rochester ranked seventh, at $20,984 per student.
"We were surprised to see Buffalo and Rochester both pop up in the top 10," said Kent Gardner, chief economist and chief research officer for the center. "We know New York is expensive, but for those two districts to show up in the top 10 was a surprise."
The study calculated spending per student by dividing total district expenditures by total district enrollment, two figures that were pulled from federal Census of Governments data that was recently released, Gardner said.
He noted that the data was very "top-level."
"We did a really rough-and-ready ranking," he said.
Buffalo and Rochester are districts of approximately the same size, with very similar demographics.
In 2010, Buffalo reported 32,607 students attending district schools, about 1,000 more than in Rochester. In Rochester, 85 percent of students received free or reduced-price lunches - a measure of district poverty - compared with 77 percent in Buffalo.
And the two cities both reported that about 17 percent of their students required special-education services.
Gardner noted that charter school expenditures were included in the study, while charter school enrollments were not.
He cited figures showing that Buffalo enrolled about 1,500 more students in charter schools in 2010 than Rochester did. That accounts for some of the variation between the two districts, he said.
If Buffalo's total spending were divided by the number of district and charter school students, the cost per student would work out to $22,663, according to Barbara J. Smith, the Buffalo Public Schools' chief financial officer.
Gardner said another major reason for the discrepancy in per-student spending between the two districts was the debt payments associated with Buffalo's Joint Schools Reconstruction Project.
"These figures included Buffalo's substantial capital program, a program Rochester is just beginning to emulate," he said. "Capital spending in Buffalo was about $4,900 per student in 2010 compared [with] about $1,500 per student in Rochester."
Smith noted that when the district analyzed its general fund spending for 2010, it found that costs per student were $16,545.
That included $1,457 per student to cover retiree health insurance, she said.
That district analysis did not include about $140 million in grant revenues that the district spent in addition to its general fund.
That would account for an additional $4,000 per student.

Welcome to mousse - a light and fluffy French delight. This elegant treat can be made the easy way or the hard way and both come with pros and cons. That's the main reason why I've put off creating the chocolaty food. Some recipes call for instant pudding mix and frozen whipped topping - but this version is too simple and the flavor is nondescript. Other creators turn to using raw eggs and cooking the sweet mixture a bit. But I always get visions of me getting some sort of terrible stomach woe, so I stayed clear of this method. After some research, I created my own chocolate mousse with some failproof touches.
On Tuesday, when I concocted my mousse, it took me back in time. I joined the man in my life on his new 27-foot sailboat in Benicia north of San Francisco. We stayed at a romantic getaway. He was on a mission to save our bittersweet relationship. Our upstairs charming suite boasted a large window view of the bay. The hotel room with European flair included a spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi. I was in love with the environment, but something was missing.
Early in the evening, he surprised me with a room service treat: Dutch chocolate mousse. I savored each bite of the creamy mousse while the bubble bath I poured into the tub overflowed on the floor. Both events were unforgettable but the trip flopped. It wasn't romantic like when we visited Tahoe's South Shore, frolicking on beaches and staying in no-name motel off Highway 50. I didn't need chocolate to smile.
This week I decided to revisit the mousse of yesteryear. When I made the whipped cream - I finally got my very first mixer - it was amazing to watch the liquid morph into a creamy, airy texture. Once I added the other ingredients, I sensed my dessert was a keeper.
Double Chocolate Mousse
1 cup organic heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounce package of instant chocolate fudge pudding
1 cup organic 2 percent reduced fat milk
1 cup organic half-and-half
1/2 to 3/4 cup 60 percent cacao bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (for garnish)
In a mixing bowl pour 1 cup whipping cream. Whip about five minutes till fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla. (It helps to put bowl and beaters in the freezer first for about 20 minutes.) Set aside. In another bowl, mix pudding with milk and half and half. Add pudding mixture to whipped cream. Mix till smooth and a light chocolate. Pour mousse into small ramekins or parfait glasses. Garnish with chocolate chips. Also, adding the chips in the mousse works, too. (Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf.) Serves 6-8.
I see clearly now that the boat was a stepping stone of us growing apart. I realized that, while my mate was bit by the boat bug, me - not so much. I was busy writing articles on natural remedies for seasickness and how to take Rover on a cruise. But I do have fond images of that quaint hotel with the decadent mousse. In no time on a warm, summer day in my cabin, I created a dish that took me to chocolate mousse heaven. I had a relationship with double chocolate mousse. It was sweet. And it worked.
Motto: Favorite foods can evoke good images of sight, touch, and taste. Making memories into reality with a twist can be great and often is perfect.

Although Craigers itself is not contagious, those who suffer from it are often carriers of another highly contagious disease that severely inhibits the ability of an infected female to keep her clothes on.
"My Craigers is acting up again. My dick won't stop throbbing."

Welcome to the line. That's how Nick Shalosky was greeted Monday night as he signed the list to try to get into Tuesday's historic Supreme Court hearing.
The greeters were in lawn chairs, wrapped in layers of sleeping bags, covered with tarps.
They had been there since Thursday, holding places through the snow, at the front of a line that now stretched way back.
"They looked like they were dead," Shalosky said. He didn't think he had a chance to get in the hearing chamber. And it was already fiercely cold.
But he didn't budge. The equality activist who is a third-year student at Charleston School of Law had planned this for weeks.
He ended up briefly at the very back of the huge, ornate hall, closer to the nine justices than he could have imagined, surrounded by the nation's most prominent attorneys, politicians and activists.
"It was daunting," he said. "It was awesome to see the process itself. No matter what happens, this is going to be in the history books. I wish everybody who wants to see it could."
Getting there was nearly as daunting. The Supreme Court has only about 250 public seats, and they're first-come, first-served.
Shalosky toughed out the night, in his own sleeping bag wrapped in every layer of clothes he had. Tuesday morning, he filed slowly down a gantlet of media and protesters on both sides of the volatile issue, shoulder to shoulder to shoulder.
Then he turned from the court steps to look out at a mass of humanity. People filled the steps of the Capitol across the street; people were lined down both sides of the street.
He'll be back in line today, hoping for another chance.
"He told me when they set the date, 'I'm getting a ticket,'" said law school Prof. Debra Gammons. "He's a strong student who believes in equality."
Shalosky managed only a three-minute "visit" spot in the chamber, but heard enough of the "standings" argument to think the justices are skeptical and might dismiss the case because the plaintiffs hadn't shown they had grounds to bring it.
That would be disappointing, he said: So many people on both sides of the issue want a decision from the court.
How big a deal is this? Well, Shalosky was roused Tuesday by Capitol police at 5:30 a.m. in "the worst kind of cold," he said. When the line began to move an hour later, the people in the front wore nice clothes. The wrapped-up people had moved to the curb to wait for today's line to form. The rumor was they get paid $30 per hour to hold spots.

The 16 Most Wildly Misleading Video Game Covers Ever
I've been playing video games for a long time, because I grew up in the 1980s and '90s with more pets than friends. And one trend in the industry that has come a long way is the box art for video games. It used to be common practice for companies to just decorate their product with whatever picture they figured would sell the most copies, whether or not that picture had anything to do with the actual game. To be fair, I realize the graphical limitations of certain older systems made it necessary for video game publishers to engage in a reasonable amount of creative embellishment when designing their cover art. However, judging by the following examples, many of those publishers just thought we were all fucking stupid.
#16. Bomberman
This looks like a Lichtenstein painting brought to life by the magic tablet from Night at the Museum. That robot has a giant gun and a volleyball bomb, and he appears to be rocketing toward us on the wings of an anus-flaying thunder shit.
Actual Gameplay:
The expression on that ghost's face is pretty much how all of us felt after staring at that cover for 20 minutes on the way home from Toys "R" Us only to be rewarded with a detonating Kubrickian hedge maze once we finally plugged the game in. Also, I'm not sure if the pumpkin and the raindrop are enemies, or if they're just kind of lost.
Don't get me wrong -- Bomberman is a fun game, but that doesn't explain why the cover looks like a terrorism postage stamp when the character you control in the actual game looks like this:
#15. Mobile Light Force
This is a pictographic definition of the phrase "cable television." I don't know what a Light Force is, but thankfully this one is mobile, because you can't stand in one place for too long with explosions and jet pack robots on the loose. Also, if you look closely at Lucy Liu's black magic flesh copy, you'll notice that she's holding the grip of her futuristic machine gun like the handle of a frying pan, which indicates either the advent of some exciting new assault rifle technology or a startling deficiency in the Mobile Light Force's training program.
Actual Gameplay:
For some reason, we're shooting magic bullets at a 30-story paladin with nary a leather-clad former XFL cheerleader in sight. I'm not sure what was going on in the game's cover, but I'm positive that exactly none of it is happening here. This is because Mobile Light Force was originally a Japanese game called Gunbird, starring three plucky anime heroes:
The American version heroically removed any mention of those three, put a bunch of unrelated Charlie's Angels understudies on the cover that never appear in the game at any point, and changed the name from Gunbird to Mobile Light Force, because apparently they juggled a bunch of Scrabble tiles inside a voodoo shaman's bone chalice and that's the nonsense that came spilling out.
#14. Forsaken
Throwback Entertainment
There is absolutely no telling what the hell is inside this box. It's literally anyone's guess. It looks like an album cover from the late '90s, so I assume that lady is crying because the world doesn't understand her, and the only person who can break down the wall she's built around herself is the guy from Vertical Horizon. Either that or she just woke up and realized there's a tattoo on her face.
Actual Gameplay:
Throwback Entertainment
It's actually a first-person air combat game wherein you whiz through a bunch of ugly gray corridors trying to blow up enemy speeder bikes. It's like watching a bunch of Micro Machines dogfight in the prison from Face/Off. I'm not sure how Angsty Tattoo Face fits into all this, I never got that far in the game. For all I know, you're trying to rescue her from space pirates or something, and the guy from Vertical Horizon is the Space Pirate King.
#13. Dragon Warrior
Square Enix
That picture is bursting with mythical action. With it, Dragon Warrior is promising that I will get to fight smiling dragons in a rad cape and a fancy feathered helmet.
Actual Gameplay:
Square Enix
I'm having trouble getting drawn into this fantasy world of heroic adventure. Dragon Warrior is less like the edge-of-your-seat thrill ride promised by the box art, and more of a meandering chore-laden collection of random encounters spread across a map that is every bit as visually exciting as Mannequin Two: On the Move. And no matter how hard I squint at my character, I can't seem to make out a cape or a glorious helmet feather. Apparently a slime is drawing near, though.
#12. Bionic Commando
The various covers for the home versions of the 1987 Capcom arcade game Bionic Commando look like the tarot reading of a G.I. Joe character. If you stare at all three of those images together like a Magic Eye, you'll see a single picture of Buck Rogers in a unitard fighting robot gremlins in an Aztec construction zone.
Actual Gameplay:
Well, you get to swing from things, so at least the box art accurately represented one aspect of Bionic Commando. Bafflingly, the actual character in the video game is wearing sunglasses, a feature that they somehow managed to leave out of every iteration of the cover art despite the fact that the game was released during a period of American history wherein sunglasses were the currency of coolness. Also, Hitler is in it:
You can't beat Hitler, you damn fool.
That's not a Photoshop. Hitler is really in a 1980s Nintendo game, and he really says "damn."
#11. Dynowarz
Apparently, RoboCop shoots T. rex in the neck with a laser pistol while pterodactyls fly through space and three different moons shine down on the purple future mountains of the stellarverse, because the inevitable war between man and dinosaur was too much for one planet to contain. No part of that picture is anything less than lyrical.
Actual Gameplay:
Sadly, should you actually find yourself playing Dynowarz, you will spend most of your time controlling a kangaroo-legged spaceman. You occasionally get to drive a tyrannosaur robot, but it looks more like a Cheeto-dusted house cat than anything else.
Also, look at all the information crammed into the top of the screen. That's way too much minutia for a game called Dynowarz. If you can't condense all the algorithms down into a single Dinosaur Fury meter, you are doing it wrong.
#10. Phalanx
This might actually be the greatest cover of anything ever published, video game or otherwise. One would assume Phalanx is some kind of moonshinin' rhythm game, or a squirrel-trapping simulator. The look on the old guy's face is perfect, like he can't wait for the photographer to finish clicking that big-city picture-box so he can get back to business.
Actual Gameplay:
... yeah, not sure where Scooter Coon and his banjo come into play. Maybe he's driving one of the spaceships.
#9. Fester's Quest
Fester's Quest is apparently the story of a leering child molester with a spider on his face, daring us to come inside his haunted rape mansion. I'm not sure what made someone decide to market this image to children, but I expect the box to be filled with knockout gas and a homing beacon.
Actual Gameplay:
The actual game is a bald man in a satanic bathrobe, blowing a horn at monsters and occasionally buying hot dogs. What's even more confounding about Fester's Quest is that it's an Addams Family game, released in 1989. That's two decades after the show was on the air, and two years before the movie version came out, so there can't possibly have been a demand for Addams Family merchandise among middle-class 10-year-olds. Also, there is absolutely no mention of The Addams Family on the cover, so unless you were already a serious Addams Family fan, you would have no idea who the hell Fester was. If you were a kid playing Nintendo in the 1980s, you wouldn't have looked at that cover and said "Ooh, an Uncle Fester game!" You would've said "Hey, this looks like the man across the street who always comes outside and sits in his lawn chair to watch me play in the sprinkler."

Articulation AgreementsWhat is articulation?
Articulation is the process of evaluating courses, or a sequence of courses, to determine whether a particular course offered at one educational system/institution (e.g. De Anza College) will meet the requirements for admission, transfer credit, general education, or lower division major preparation at another educational system/institution (e.g. CSU, UC, or independent). This process ensures that courses taken at De Anza College will be credited toward bachelor's degree requirements upon transferring to the university.
What is an articulation agreement?
Articulation agreements are established to help transfer students make a smooth transition from a community college to the university without duplicating coursework.
With formal articulation agreements courses at the sending college (i.e. De Anza College) are identified as comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, courses at a receiving university. This process allows transfer students to fulfill a university requirement by completing an identified comparable course (articulated course) at De Anza College.
Articulation agreements may be presented as course-to-course, for lower division major preparation, and/or for general education-breadth requirements. In some cases, courses are articulated or identified for elective credit only. This means that the course does not fulfill any specific requirements other than as transferable units.
De Anza College has established official articulation agreements with regionally accredited four-year colleges and universities that are located both in and outside of California. De Anza College maintains articulation agreements with every University of California (UC) campus and nearly every California State University (CSU) campus plus several independent/private colleges and universities.
Where can I get information about articulation agreements?
Links to articulation agreements between four-year universities and De Anza College are listed on this website (see below).
Students are advised to consult with a De Anza College counselor or academic adviser, on a periodic basis, to confirm your choice of classes and to confirm that the courses you plan to complete are aligned with the most up-to-date agreements.
Visit the Meet with a Counselor page to view the academic services available through the De Anza College Counseling & Advising Center or stop by the Counseling & Advising Center located on the 2nd floor of the Registration & Student Services Building during hours of operation.
Students should also contact University Admission Offices and, when possible, meet with university representatives during scheduled campus visits at De Anza College.
Articulation Agreements with CSU and UC Campuses
ASSIST (Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer) is a computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports of how course credits earned at one California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California's colleges and universities and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California (source www.assist.org).
Both current and archived articulation agreements between California community colleges and campuses in the CSU and UC systems can be found on ASSIST.
Articulation Agreements: California Independent Colleges & Universities
Please note that articulation agreements are subject to change without notice.

The following tables include links for California independent and out-of-state colleges and universities that currently have articulation agreements with De Anza College listed on their websites.
NOTE: Articulation agreements are subject to periodic and/or annual updates. Changes to agreements may not be immediately reflected online. Students should consult a De Anza College counselor or academic adviser and/or a four-year university admissions representative.

|Bill Scholl Bio
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 04/30/2012
Bill Scholl was named Ball State's director of intercollegiate athletics effective April 30, 2012. The Notre Dame graduate came to Ball State with more than two decades of athletics administration experience at his alma mater, including his final three years with the Fighting Irish as deputy athletics director.
In his two years at Ball State, Scholl has overseen some noteworthy accomplishments for the Cardinals:
As deputy athletics director at Notre Dame, Scholl was responsible for supervision of sports such as football, men's basketball, baseball and men's soccer. He was responsible for senior-level administration such as fundraising and donor relations, divisional budget construction and growing external revenue for the Irish.
Among his major accomplishments at Notre Dame:
Scholl was promoted to senior associate athletics director at Notre Dame in October 2004. Prior to that, he spent three years as an associate athletics director and the executive director of the Notre Dame Monogram Club. Scholl served seven years as an assistant athletics director for marketing, overseeing the marketing and promotions programs for the Irish. In June 2000, the Monogram Club awarded him an honorary monogram.
As the promotions manager at Notre Dame, he greatly expanded the horizons of Notre Dame's Olympic sports profile. Scholl was responsible for developing and implementing marketing and promotions plans for all athletic events. His activities included coordinating special events, giveaways, clinics, group nights and other general functions that broadened the community's awareness of Notre Dame's Olympic sports.
The former director of financial development for the 1987 International Summer Special Olympic Games, Scholl served in the same position for one year at South Bend's Logan Center, which offers services to persons with developmental disabilities. He also spent five years with the Juhl Advertising Agency in Mishawaka, Ind.
While working for Special Olympics, the Lakewood, Ohio, native was responsible for raising a $4.8 million budget from national and local corporations, foundations, governments, special events and the general public. Through his efforts, the final amount raised for the '87 Games was in excess of $8 million.
Born Sept. 2, 1957, Scholl is a 1979 Notre Dame graduate. He and his wife Julie have three children: Michael (a 2009 Notre Dame graduate), Stefanie (a 2012 Ball State graduate) and Kelly (a sophomore at Notre Dame).
