What's Yahoo Worth Without Alibaba, Yahoo Japan?
Following Alibaba's IPO filing this week, the finances of its second-largest investor, Yahoo, have also come into the spotlight.
In a Wall Street Journal article today, Douglas MacMillan writes that "Many analysts believe Yahoo's $35 billion market capitalization is mostly made up of its stakes in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan."
For this graphic, we subtracted the value of Yahoo's stake in its two largest investments, Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, as well as its net cash, to see the approximate value of Yahoo's properties, including Yahoo Search, Flickr, Tumblr and Yahoo News, among others. Assuming that Alibaba is valued at $160 billion, Yahoo's core value is somewhere around $4.7 billion.
Yahoo's investment in Alibaba will leave the company with a lot of cash (Alibaba's expected fall IPO would force Yahoo to sell about 40% of its stake), which CEO Marissa Mayer has used in the past to invest in and purchase other companies.
According to the Journal article:
Ms. Mayer hasn't detailed how she plans to use the IPO cash, telling investors only that the company plans to be "good stewards of capital" and continue making strategic and "tuck-in" acquisitions. If she plans to reinvigorate growth through deals, the Alibaba cash may be her last chance. Analysts expect Yahoo to receive about $10 billion after taxes. Added with its $1.7 billion in net cash at the end of March, Yahoo would have close to $12 billion to spend.

CORRECTION: Yahoo reported earnings of $311.6 million in the first quarter. An earlier version of this article incorrectly suggested that Yahoo hasn't been profitable.

Malawi Health Minister Marjorie Ngaunje and U.S. Ambassador Alan Eastham presented the first caps to new mothers and babies in the maternity and kangaroo mother care wards of Bwaila Hospital.
Each year in Malawi, 16,000 babies die during the first month of life. A baby cap — which helps to keep newborns warm — symbolizes one of the simple solutions in a package of health measures that can save many of these young lives.
"We know Americans care about saving the lives of newborn babies in Malawi," said Paul Mecartney, Country Office Director for Save the Children. "And American knitters and crocheters made 75,000 baby caps to prove it. Birth should be a time of celebration. By working together, we can make this a reality for all families, no matter where they live."
Research shows that more than half of newborn deaths in Malawi could be prevented if mothers and children had access to a simple package of health measures, including skilled birth attendance, antibiotics to fight infection, immunizations for tetanus, and education on breastfeeding and essential care for newborns.
The 75,000 baby caps made by U.S. knitters and crocheters arrived in Lilongwe on March 9th. The caps will be distributed through the Ministry of Health and CHAM to new mothers and babies at hospitals throughout Malawi. The distribution of caps will be incorporated into ongoing Ministry of Health efforts to increase awareness among expectant and new mothers about proper care of newborns at birth, including keeping the baby warm.
The idea for the caps project was spun from U.S. knitters and crocheters themselves, who contacted Save the Children after seeing media coverage of Save the Children's State of the World's Mothers 2006 report, released in May. The report noted that the first 24 hours of life are the most dangerous time for babies in the developing world. Of the more than 4 million newborns who die each year, 2 million die within the first 24 hours of life. Several news reports noted that something as simple as a knit cap could help save a baby's life.
Dozens of individuals contacted Save the Children to see how they could help and Caps to the Capital was launched. Knitters and crocheters were asked to use their skills to make a cap and their voice to show support for the need to do more to help newborns survive globally. More than 280,000 caps were sent to Save the Children. The caps will be distributed to mothers and babies in Malawi and Bangladesh, two countries chosen because of need and their governments' commitment to maternal and child health.

CHARLES TOWN — Doors have started opening for Cheryl Pressl. And not just figurative doors, literal doors....
What a nice article. Would you all please consider taking anti growth Councilmen Poaennsa, Slover and Bringetot from us in Charles Town so we can grow gracefully in your school too, maybe floating across the stage, getting in touch with their inner selfs? Maybe they would all move back to NY, NC and Iowa if they were better eduated? They keep trying to block everything with growth, then at the last minute when they figure out it is going to pass, the hypocrites then vote for it so they cannot be accused on not voting. No growthers and hypocrites, we don't need both in Charles Town.

LEWISTOWN -While blustery winds chilled the air outside, a couple hundred people found a warm and friendly atmosphere inside the Lewistown Country Club on Sunday afternoon at the Fifth Annual Juniata Valley Bridal and Prom Expo, presented by The Sentinel.
Many area brides, along with their entourages, inspected the goods displayed by 30 vendors on two levels at the country club, seeking the new and unique for their weddings.
"The cake," caught the eye of Madison Betush, of McVeytown, who was just about to sample a slice of chocolate and vanilla cake from the Cakes by Margie display.

Kristen Ortiz, left, owner of Simply Elegant Bridal Shop in State College, explains the style of wedding dress worn by Kristal Scott on Sunday during The Sentinel's Bridal and Prom Expo at the Lewistown Country Club.
Betush came to the expo "to see what's here," for her Oct. 12 wedding to Dylan Zong, also of McVeytown. She also said she was impressed that she found a vendor for linens at the expo.
Margie Wagner, of Cakes by Margie, has been a vendor at all of the past bridal expos sponsored by The Sentinel, but this was the first year her display included a tray of cupcakes. The confections, decorated with swirls of turquoise icing, showcased a new trend that has become popular at wedding receptions, Wagner said.
Another new item was on display at the Kish Printing booth. Kay Semler showcased a large seating chart that almost resembled a giant menu, printed on a sturdy posterboard suitable for future framing.
The seating chart replaces the traditional table holding tiny place cards at the entrance of the reception, Semler said. All of the guests are listed on the chart, with their table number printed after their name. When guests arrive, they merely find their name on the chart, check their table number, then look for their seat.
While seating charts are a new trend, Semler sees the recent "Save the date" cards fading in popularity. Now, many bridal couples are personalizing their stationery items with photos or meaningful artwork that can be printed onto announcements, invitations, and even fans meant for guests to use at outdoor weddings.
While some of the brides-to-be attending the expo are just embarking on their wedding planning, other brides are headed to the altar soon, but couldn't resist the expo.
Rebecca Filson, of Lewistown, who will marry Michael Reeder of Newport on June 8, attended the expo because "it's a chance to see the local options." While most of her wedding planning is done, Filson said she attended the expo to get ideas "to help with the last minute details."
Ashley Kitting, of McVeytown, had the same idea, and it paid off for her. Her wedding to Greg Dunmire, also of McVeytown, will take place on Aug. 17, and while she said most of her planning is complete, she came to the expo "for ideas and to see if I forgot anything." At the expo she found ideas for jewelry gifts for her bridesmaids.
In addition to visiting vendor tables, guests at the expo heard a presentation on prom gown trends, saw live models in gowns from Simply Elegant Bridal Shop, of State College, and watched a dancing demonstration by Jessie Foster and Valerie Zehring, of Jessie Foster's Ballroom Dance School in Harrisburg.
Angela Seler, of Fabulous Formals by Laurajean in McClure, told the crowd that the popular prom gown colors this year are "soft, subtle pastels. There are still some prints out there, but black and white and gold, and pastels are popular this year."
Kristen Ortiz, of Simply Elegant Bridal, showed four gowns that she said flatter all body shapes, especially the drop waist style and the fit and flare style. Her young daughter also modeled a flower girl dress, which was "simple and classic," she said.
Brides thinking beyond the wedding also found ideas for honeymoons at the expo.
"The ah-ha moment, the eyes-lighting-up moment at our table is the honeymoon registry," said Susan Blyth, who manned the L&S Travel table for her daughter, Lindsay Smith, who owns the Centre Hall-based business.
A honeymoon registry, she explained, works like a gift registry, with the gift being money put toward the couple's honeymoon. Blyth said one of her daughter's clients had 50 percent of the cost of their honeymoon paid through the registry. A lot of brides were interested in that aspect of the travel agency's services, she said.

Design and Implementation of Parallel Memory Architectures
Aho, Eero
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2006-12-15

University: Tampere University of Technology

Department: Institute of Digital and Computer Systems
Parallel processing is continually concerned about how to supply all the processing nodes with data. Many of the applications favor special data patterns that could be accessed in parallel. This is utilized in parallel memories, where the idea is to increase memory bandwidth with several memory modules working in parallel and feed the processor with only necessary data. Traditional parallel memories are application specific and support only fixed data access requirements. In this Thesis, memory flexibility is increased to give support for several algorithms by adding run-time configurability to parallel memories. Multitude of data access templates and module assignment functions can be used within a single hardware implementation, which has not been possible in prior embedded parallel memory systems. The design reusability of the memories is also improved since the same memory system is applicable in several separate implementations. Three novel parallel memory architectures are presented in this Thesis: one traditional application specific type and two with run-time configurability. The results show that run-time configurability can be included in parallel memories with a reasonable cost. As a case study with four memory modules, the normalized complexity of the proposed configurable parallel memories is 63 80% less than the conventional type of parallel memory. Moreover, in configurable parallel memories, the complexity increase in permutation networks is expressed to become the most critical when increasing the memory module count. According to evaluations, up to 79% of the total parallel memory gate count is consumed by the permutation networks excluding memory cells. The results of this Thesis can be used for designing a flexible memory system for real-time multimedia applications that demand high data throughput and data parallel computation.

Dat eye is a wonderful dog. She has amazing eyes and can control her surroundings with it. Most likely to be found lurking in a dark room or peeking around a corner. Her eye will change your life forever. She will watch you from a distance and if you get too close she will take off and run somewhere probably dark.
Wow that lamp just moved, yeah "dat eye" did it.

|An old fashioned, simple, chunky potato soup like Grandma made, with russet potatoes, onion, butter, evaporated milk, a little flour, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Homemade Potato SoupBack before there were things like Cheesy Potato Soup with Bacon and Loaded Baked Potato Soup, there was Grandma's Potato Soup. Simple, unassuming, not much more than potatoes, onion, water, butter and milk, really, but so very good and comforting. I had about a half dozen potatoes to use up and The Cajun was still having a tender stomach from a bout with the flu, so I peeled those babies and threw them in a pot. The amount of butter here is just a suggestion. You can use more or less at your own discretion as your diet will allow you. Unless you're not feeling good - then just throw caution to the wind.
Here's how to make this wonderful soup.
Peel and cut 2 pounds of russet potatoes into large chunks, about 1-1/2 inch in size. Chop 1/2 cup of onion and toss potatoes and onions with 3 tablespoons of flour. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a soup pot. I use about 3 to 4 tablespoons, but you can adjust that as needed for your dietary needs. Add the potato mixture to the pot; stir to coat with the butter and stir in enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring mixture to a boil.
Stir in one large can of evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk!), bring up to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Some of the potatoes will break down and thicken the soup. Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reach desired consistency and thickness. Serve immediately.
This soup rocks! Sometimes it's just all about getting back to the basics y'all.
Recipe: Grandma's Homemade Potato Soup©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 servings
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 1-1/2 inch)
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup (1/2 to 1 stick) of salted butter
- Water to cover
- 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk
- Shredded cheese, for garnish, optional
Toss the potatoes with the onion, flour and salt and pepper; set aside for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile melt the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the potato mixture to the pot; stir to coat. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil; stir in the milk, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reach desired consistency and thickness. Garnish each serving with shredded cheese if you like and serve immediately.
Cook's Notes: May also substitute green onion. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to puree the potatoes, if a less chunky texture is desired.
Variation: Brown several slices of bacon, set aside and crumble. Add one stalk of celery, chopped, and saute the veggies in the pan drippings. Add the potato mixture and proceed with the recipe. Garnish with crumbled bacon.
Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup: Add in 2 cups of smoked ham, cubed with the potatoes. Just before serving, stir in 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, just until melted.

Anne Akiko Meyers
Anne Akiko Meyers is one of the world's premiere concert violinists. A
celebrated and versatile soloist, chamber musician, recording artist and
educator, she has collaborated with world-class musicians from both the
classical and popular worlds, commissioned and premiered new works, and
showcased under-performed works to new audiences.
In February 2012, Meyers's eagerly anticipated Bach Air album, recorded with the English Chamber Orchestra, will be released on eOne. Air features Bach's violin concerti and the double concerto, for which Meyers recorded both parts, on her two Stradivari violins, the 1697 "ex-Napoleon/Molitor" and the 1730 "Royal Spanish."
In June, Meyers was named "Instrumentalist of the Year" by the Austin Critic's Table. In dates this season, she performs with the Tokyo Philharmonic (where she plays the Mozart G Major Concerto, with cadenzas composed for her by Wynton Marsalis) and the Santa Barbara Symphony. She also performs recitals with pianist Akira Eguchi in Tokyo and Fukuoka, Japan.
Last season, Meyers returned to the KBS Symphony (Korea) and the Dusseldorf Symphoniker, and performed the Mozart G Major Concerto, with Wynton Marsalis cadenzas, with the St. Louis and Grand Rapids symphony orchestras. To promote her critically acclaimed album, Seasons…dreams, she embarked on a national tour, with dates in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and elsewhere. At New York City's Rubin Museum of Art, Meyers performed the world premiere of John Corgliano's "Lullaby for Natalie", commissioned to mark the birth of her daughter.
Meyers's extensive discography is available on the Avie, Camerata, Hyperion, Koch, Naxos, RVA Victor Red Seal, RPH, Sony BMG and Warner Classics labels. Her debut disc, released when she was 18, includes the Barber Violin Concerto and Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1, with Christopher Seaman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Her catalogue of Red Seal Masterworks was re-released on iTunes last season. Other notable recordings include the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with Andrew Litton and the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Prokofiev Concertos with the Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt, Somei Satoh's "Kisetsu" and the Joseph Schwantner "Angelfire" fantasy for amplified violin and orchestra, both written for and premiered by Meyers.
Since making her debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 11, Meyers has appeared with the Boston Symphony, Montreal Symphony, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic, Warsaw Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Tokyo's NHK Symphony, Osaka Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony, and New York Philharmonic.
She has performed recitals throughout the U.S., and toured nationally with jazz trumpeter Chris Botti, and with pop-opera sensation Il Divo for special holiday concerts. A passionate advocate of expanding the repertoire, Meyers has premiered works by composers including David Baker, Mason Bates, Jakub Ciupinksi, John Corgliano, Roddy Ellias, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Jennifer Higdon, Wynton Marsalis, Oliver Messiaen, Akira Miyoshi, Arvo Pärt, Manuel Ponce, Somei Satoh and Joseph Schwantner.
Television credits include appearances on CNBC's popular "Countdown with Keith Olbermann"; Meyers's on-air performance of her newly-purchased "Molitor" Stradivarius violin (and an accompanying gag with host Olbermann), was named on the show's "Best of 2010 Countdown". She has appeared on an A&E telecast from the Casals Festival with the Montreal Symphony, a PBS broadcast with the Boston Pops Orchestra and John Williams, "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson and the "Primetime Emmy Awards." Meyers was featured in a performance with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Holland that attracted an audience of 10,000, and performed in front of 750,000 people in Australia's Sydney Harbour, celebrating their 250th Bicentennial. She has performed for dignitaries including the Emperor and Empress of Japan and has been featured in numerous print and television commercials, including Anne Klein's "Women of Substance" fashion campaign photographed by Annie Leibovitz.
Born in San Diego, California, Meyers began her studies at the age of four. She was a student of Alice and Eleonore Schoenfeld at the Colburn School of Performing Arts, Josef Gingold at Indiana University, and Felix Galimir, Masao Kawasaki and Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School. At age 23, Meyers was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, the only artist ever to be the sole recipient of this annual prize.
In 2008, she was the first violinist to be a Regent's Lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles. Meyers was a panellist at the Juilliard School's Starling-DeLay Symposium and has given masterclasses around the world. She plays on the "Royal Spanish" Stradivarius, dated 1730, and the "ex-Molitor/Napoleon" Stradivarius, dated 1697, believed to have been owned by Napoleon Bonaparte.

LEWISTOWN - Rather than traveling all the way to State College, local dirt and street bike enthusiasts need only travel down Fourth Street to find specialty parts and apparel.
Too Wheels Cycles, owned by Dave Seiler, provides anything from handle grips to sprockets and tires to helmets at 10 to 15 percent off market prices. Special orders are available for anything not found in store, Seiler said.
"It's really difficult to get parts locally and opening a bike store is something I've always wanted to do," Seiler said. "When you walk in, it does look geared toward dirt bikes, but we have so much more. We can even order parts for jet skis or snowmobiles if we need to."

Dave Seiler and his wife Polly Seiler stand in thier business, Too Wheels, on West Fourth Street in Lewistown.
Seiler has been riding bikes since he was 5 years old, getting into serious racing when he was 12. After having a family, he took a step back and watched as his kids got into the sport. Now, with everyone grown up, he started racing again and opened Too Wheels Cycles.
"I might not have always been riding, but it was always a part of my life," Seiler said. "The store has done really well since we opened in May, especially since there hasn't been any real advertising."
Too Wheels Cycles is planning to hold a grand opening event from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 22 at its 713 W. Fourth St., Lewistown, location. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, call 953-9703.

I recently got a chance to sit down with some of the folks behind the
WCF LOB Adapter SDK. Meet Sonu Arora, Program Manager, and C. Venkatesh, Principal Group Manager. Here, we talk about, well, the WCF LOB Adapter SDK. What is it, exactly? What's it for? Why did we make it? How did we make it? Can unmanaged developers take
advantage of it? Tune in to find out the answers. For those of you who have no idea what WCF LOB Adapter SDK means:
WCF Line of Business Adapter Team says:
Developers face the challenge of building services that interoperate across organizational and platform boundaries, and connect to existing line-of- business (LOB) systems. At the same time, these services and LOB systems evolve independently of each other, making connecting applications and services a constant challenge.
To simplify this problem for partners and customers, Microsoft has created a common framework based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) – the WCF Line-of-Business Adapter Software Development Kit ( WCF LOB Adapter SDK). With the WCF LOB Adapter SDK, developers now have a consistent and repeatable way to build LOB Adapters for the .NET platform.
For developers and partners, this means a common adapter that can be used across the entire .NET platform, not just a single endpoint like SharePoint or BizTalk Server.
The WCF LOB Adapter SDK ships with a rich set of development tools to automate and simplify adapter development in a consistent and repeatable manner:
For Adapter Developers
Adapter Development Code Generation Wizard
Visual Studio 2005 Integration (IntelliSense, context-sensitive help)
Runtime Components (LOB System Connection Pooling, Metadata Cache Lookup)
For Adapter Consumers
Add Adapter Service Reference Visual Studio Plug-In
Consumer Adapter Service BizTalk Project Add-In

I have been noticing recently that the size of the videos posted have increased to the point where I cannot stream the video and watch it without the video stopping to catch up.
I have a 1.5mbps connection which is the maximum bandwidth that my ISP supports without a change to different technology. My ISP is the biggest in my country and this probably what 80% of users have.
I do not see the reason why the videos posted should have increased as previously every was fine.
Are you trying to alienate your existng user of channel 9 and people with similar bandwidth to mine. I am not going to upgrade my bandwidth which I already pay to much for just to watch your videos.
The quality of previous videos has been fine also and this should ot be a reason for increased size.
I have read many other posts with the issue as me here.
This must mean that channel 9 doesn't care if it loses any users of channel 9 due to this issue and if thats the case then fine you have lost me.
As I mention I have above average bandwidth in my country and this should be enough to watch streaming video without pauses.
I like the higher bandwith
But I thought that the streamed videos where multi-bitrate encoded for just the reason the poster above mentioned?

quote: One easy way to test the idea that the speed of light might be affected by the velocity of an object is to "ping" a spacecraft in orbit around a planet such as Mars, with the transmit signals sent alternatively from each side of the earth, so that in one case the speed of earth's spin adds to the signal
quote: I do believe you can see the same effect using the speed of sound. No matter how fast you go, you won't make sound travel any faster
quote: Light and sound have many similar properties. They are both waves. Neither wave can be accelerated by physically moving the emitter. Both can be used to convey the passage of time. Both experience frequency acceleration and deceleration depending on the relative speed/direction of the emitter and the receiver
quote: I don't think it slows down. It only appears to.
quote: We don't really know this (light not requiring a medium) for certain.
quote: In any event, my observation here is that one cannot affect the speed of a sound wave.
quote: However, if you listen to the Doppler Effect, by listening to an ambulance for instance, you'll notice that there are more oscillations as it approaches over a period of, say, ten seconds, than when it leaves. Thus, time is compressed, albeit, to the ear. I am saying that light does the same thing to the eye.

JAMESTOWN – A city woman will have time to think about all the problems that driving too fast can cause after police said she was stopped for speeding Tuesday and then arrested on a fugitive warrant out of Pennsylvania.
Courtney Edwards, 38, was stopped shortly after 2 p.m. on West Sixth Street near Fairmount Avenue. A computer check showed her driver's license was suspended and she is wanted in Warren, Pa., on a burglary charge, police said.
Edwards was issued traffic tickets for speeding and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said, and she is being held pending an extradition hearing in Chautauqua County Court.

NEW ORLEANS – Ed Reed said it. So did Donte Whitner, and Corey Graham. Every player in the NFL has probably uttered the phrase, which has become the standard replay when anyone asks about head injuries and football's essentially violent nature.
"It's the game we signed up for," said Graham, the Buffalo native and Ravens cornerback.
Yes, players know from a young age that football hurts, that it's a game of contact and bone-rattling collision.
The current NFL players, who have ridden the sport to unimagined wealth and fame, are hardly the most objective voices on long-term health issues.
Of course, no one signs up for repeat concussions, brain damage, depression or suicide. No one volunteers for injuries that might cripple you at a young age and devastate your wife and kids. The women don't sign up to be the caretakers for damaged gridiron heroes.
What people are signing for, in increasing numbers, is lawsuits claiming the NFL did not do enough to protect its players from head injuries. The Associated Press recently reported that more than 3,800 players have sued the league over concussions in recent years.
The family of Junior Seau, who shot himself to death last May, recently filed a suit against the NFL, contending that the league didn't do enough to educate its players and concealed evidence about the dangers of repeated brain injuries.
So not everyone agrees that football players know what they're getting into. And when the most powerful man in the world has reservations about football's violent nature, you know there's a problem.
"I'm a big football fan," President Obama said in the current issue of The New Republic. "But I have to tell you, if I had a son, I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play football."
Obama called it a question of "conscience" and said fans "have to wrestle with the fact" that football needs to reduce some of the violence, even if it takes some of the excitement out of the game.
Reed was one of the few NFL players to agree with the president – up to a point. Reed said the NFL needs to improve the overall medical program and do more for the health of the players.
"I definitely agree with the president," Reed said Tuesday during the annual Super Bowl media day in the Superdome. "I'm not going to push this on my son. If he chooses to be a football player, so be it. All I can say is, 'Son, I played so you don't have to.' "
"We have to protect ourselves," he said. "But football has been this way for ages. It's always been a contact sport. It's going to be a violent sport. You're going to have repercussions from that.
"But every player who ever played this game, and will play it, they signed up for it. We signed up for it. We know what can happen. God forbid it happen to anyone, but that's the life we choose to live."
What about Junior Seau, I asked. Did he sign up for what happened to him?
"Yeah," Reed said, "he signed up to play football. We all signed up to play football. Do you want it to happen? No. When I was on the golf course, did I want to hear that Junior Seau died? No. I grew up watching him play. That was a sad day, man, a sad day.
"I feel effects from it," Reed said. "Sometimes I wake up and it's 'Where did my memory go?' But I signed up for it. Once that whistle blows and you're between those lines, it's time to play ball. You're going to play it the the way you know how. Junior gave everything to football, and I'm sure he's looking down with no regrets."
Whitner, the former Bills safety who plays for the Niners, agrees that football needs to be safer.
Whitner, a fearsome hitter, said it's a matter of teaching and coaching proper tackling tecnnique.
"I know a lot of parents out there are really nervous about their kids playing football," Whitner said. "I would be, too. I have a 6-year-old son. He wants to play football, which I'll allow him to do. But it has to start at the youth level, teaching kids how to tackle. Even in the NFL, we've gotten away from fundamentals, where you keep your head up and lower your base. There's a right way to do it."
There's a general ambivalence among the NFL players, who love the sport but have to reconcile the physical risks involved and the prospect of younger generations turning away. Some of them are still in denial.
"Everybody has an opinion," said Niners defensive end Justin Smith, "and the president can say whatever he wants to say. But this game teaches young kids about discipline, responsibility, toughness, work ethic. There's all types of occupations that are just as hazardous or more hazardous. They just don't have the spotlight. I would be all for my kids playing football. I don't really see the harm in it."
Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard, a vicious hitter, sees the opposite. He said there's not much the league can do about violent hits with the players becoming more finely tuned machines of mayhem. He said the NFL could be out of existence 30 years from now because of it.
"The league is trying to move in the right direction," Pollard said, "but the collisions and everything will stay the same, and they're going to get bigger. Year in and year out, guys are getting bigger, stronger, faster and quicker. You've got guys 325, 350 pounds running downfield to get you. It's tough to eliminate that from this game.
"The only thing I'm waiting for — and Lord, I hope it doesn't happen — is a guy dying on the field," Pollard said. "We've had everything else happen except for a death. We understand what we signed up for, and it sucks."

5 Things Spammers Ruined While We Weren't Paying Attention
It's amazing how much shit people will put up with, as long as you give it to them slowly. Like the way nobody notices gas prices going up, as long as it's done a nickel at a time.
But I can't think of a more dramatic example than the way spammers have ruined huge chunks of the Internet, and the way we kind of just let them. You can't get from Point A to Point B on the Web without swimming through a sludge of spyware, malware and viruses. It dictates our entire behavior online, and we've kind of just gotten used to it. I think this is amazing, considering that if even a tenth as much bullshit existed in real life, we'd be demanding military intervention.
Step back for a moment and just think about how spamming dickheads have ruined ...
#5. Toolbars
Man, you know what would be awesome? If they made a little strip of useful icons and features that we could attach to our browsers. Something unintrusive that would eliminate the need to have a separate window open every time we needed to search for pictures of Christina Hendricks' cleavage. And another when we need to post those pictures on Facebook. Maybe it could give us a way to rate and share that cleavage so that we could scientifically catalog it for further study.
Oh, wait, they have those! In fact, they've been around almost as long as Web browsers themselves. The problem is that we don't think of them as helpful tools to make browsing easier. We see them as symptoms of a disease, the number of which tells us exactly how long we'll be spending unfucking our mom's computer because she won't stop downloading goddamn screensavers.
Goddamnit, mom.
In another article, I talked about how toolbars have become synonymous with the word "virus" because they are so commonly associated with malware, spyware and hijackers. Spammers discovered years ago that if they designed a toolbar that offered some legitimately helpful features, they could slip in some bullshit malicious code, and most people wouldn't know where the resulting vomit was coming from. Over time, of course, we figured out what was going on, and the rule of thumb became "Do not install toolbars under any circumstance."
They're just these mindless little promotional giveaways, yet I've spent days trying to undo the damage all their hidden malicious code unleashed. It'd be like if a politician handed us an ink pen with his campaign logo on the side, and as soon as we accepted the freebie, it fused itself to our fingers and forced us to write his slogans all over ourselves. Then, on voting day, it physically pulled us into the booth and forced us to vote for him. It's a level of diabolical malice normally reserved for dark wizards. But on the Internet? The average grandma can't surf for 48 hours without getting cursed by some equivalent asshole.
"Rise, my minions, and drink of the blood that gives you life!"
And the harder we try to avoid it, the more devious they get. Spammers pay legitimate programs to include their toolbar as a package deal. Or worse, trusted companies would wrap clean programs in their own installer, which itself was bundled with toolbars, Trojans and homepage hijackers. In order to ensure that you'd install it, they'd hide a check box -- already checked for your convenience -- in a sea of "Terms and Agreements" that gives them permission to shit directly into your hard drive unless you specifically unchecked that box. And once again, we had to modify the way we installed programs, carefully looking for that catch and manually unchecking each box before hitting the "Next" button.
Once we were used to that, they changed up the wording, knowing that we had become conditioned to performing the steps: 1) Uncheck toolbar boxes. 2) Click "Accept." 3) Install the new program, free of said toolbars. Check out the deceptive bullshit they came up with, paying special attention to the last lines of the instructions:
If you don't see it, don't feel bad -- many people don't. What they're saying is that if you click "Decline" (an action that traditionally cancels the installation of the whole program), they will continue with the program's regular installation without installing the toolbar. If you click "I Accept," no matter what you've unchecked above, the toolbar is still installed along with the program. They figured out our "don't install" click patterns, and rearranged the buttons to trick us into agreeing.
Can you imagine how we would jump down the throat of any real-world business that tried that shit? Imagine ordering your lunch at McDonald's, but when they got to the "fries" question, they phrased it as, "Don't you not want to not have fries with that?" Then, no matter how you answered that ridiculous triple negative, they told you, "By pulling forward to the next window, you are agreeing to buy fries" and shoved them into your car anyway, claiming, "No, you said you wanted them, so now you have to pay for them. No take-backs!" Also, the fries are poison.
And it's because of dishonest, misleading bullshit like this that we look at even reputable programs with distrust. Even the ones that aren't spam are viewed as such because they're using the same "bundle this with other software" approach that has been completely stripped of trust and legitimacy by the advertising equivalent of kidnappers.
Yeah, right! "Google?" If you're going to make up words, at least make them sound believable.
#4. Free Samples
Back in ancient times when "Instant Access Internet CD Roms" littered your desk and your pager was blowin' up from some sweet Tenderoni all up on your tip, we had a simple sales mechanic that served us pretty damn well. Software makers would release their program for free, and if you liked it, you could buy it. Sometimes, it came in the form of freeware that limited functionality until you paid. Other times, the program was on a timed trial, shutting down after so many uses or days and starting back up when you paid for a license. We still have that now, but the difference is that back then (a whole 15 years ago), we could click the download link without having to put in an hour's worth of research to make sure it wasn't about to ad-fuck our computer into a coma.
"OK, just five or six more hours, and the fungal cultures should give us more info on the distributor."
Up until the early 2000s, I don't remember paying for a single program -- and no, I'm not talking about pirating that shit. Everything on my computer from antivirus to word processing to photo editing was all freeware or trial-based. But do me a favor real quick: Go on Google, search for a random malware cleaner and install one you've never heard of.
Wait, don't actually do that. For your computer, that's the equivalent of having an unprotected dick fight with General Herpes Wartcock. See, just like the toolbar example, spammers (being the soulless pig fuckers that they are) realized that people like free things. So they'd either buy out small time programs that were already gaining popularity, or they'd mimic successful programs and games like Angry Birds and plant their blatantly destructive "aggressive advertising" bombs within those.
"No, it's the same thing, man. Look how pissed off he is."
And we just kind of roll with it now, like, "Hey, it's free, of course it will give your computer cancer." Really? When is the last time you went to the grocery store and refused a free sample of something because you were afraid it might cause your limbs to stop working? Or maybe you did try it, but as soon as you went back to shopping, you were stopped every couple of seconds by a representative of every product you walked past? Following you home, screaming the name of their product in your face while you tried to drive?
Seriously, why don't people go to jail for this? It has ruined trust to the point that many of us simply avoid free samples at all costs. Until these things have been through a round of customer reviews, been scanned by anti-malware and antivirus programs, been recommended by reputable computer geeks and dragged through miles of various poking and prodding tests, our default state is to assume they're poison. And that doesn't bode well for the actual legitimate small time programmers who are just trying to get their name out there. Or for us as consumers, who would very much like to give those guys a chance ... and, yes, to get some free shit.
"I'm not opening that, Mom. I know you filled it with bees."
#3. Email
A certain percentage of all human communication is sales pitches -- even before people had phones, dudes would show up at their door selling snake-oil cures and horse boosters. But email is almost entirely spam -- 88 to 92 percent of all messages. For those of you who aren't good with numbers, that's almost goddamn all of them.
For this reason, I don't know anyone who has just one email address. Most people have a primary that they only give out to important contacts, and several more that they use to sign up for shit. That way, when they invariably start receiving messages about how to grow more hair and a bigger cock, who cares? You'll never log in to that Hotmail account to ever see them.
Or at the very least, you'll know to take precautions when you do.
Has there ever been a means of communication that was just totally hijacked by scammers like this, to the point that they absolutely own the medium? How many of you have a separate phone line set up to catch just telemarketers? Or a separate mailbox to catch junk mail? Or a separate home to distract door-to-door salesmen? I'm guessing not many.
And this isn't like complaining that there are too many commercials during the Super Bowl -- we need email, it's how approximately 100 percent of us do business now.
Yet we find ourselves having to trash accounts as they become too visible to spammers -- they'll reach a critical mass of bullshit that just makes them unusable. You can't even tell somebody your address -- if you post it on a forum, blog, website -- anywhere that is accessible by the public eye -- then spammers will find it and inundate it. If you're posting it in public, you have to spell it all out so the crawlers can't find it (like, "meatwhip at flopwhopple dot com"). It's like spelling out dirty words around a 3-year-old child.
Of course, we do have spam filters and junk folders to help thin it all out, but the protection itself is one of the many ways spammers have fucked over the basic function of an email. Is there a single person reading this article who hasn't heard the phrase, "You didn't get my email? Huh, I sent it yesterday. Check your junk folder." Meanwhile, the main inbox is still filled with so much broken English, it looks like some straight-up Tower of Babel shit.
Via Horriblest.com
And here's the thing: These are businesses, people who need us to like and trust them enough to buy their product. If any real business did this shit in real life, you'd not only boycott their product, but you'd throw elbows into the bridge of their nose until they could smell their own hell-bound soul.
And you would also be polar bears.

In 2007, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees requested that the University administration submit a document or framework that describes the major issues, concerns, and opportunities facing NYU in the coming decades as it approaches the University's bicentennial in 2031.
As a start, the University's senior administration engaged in a review of existing reports and studies that addressed the key issues, ambitions, and priorities of the University; prepared a draft document; and had fruitful discussions and input on early drafts from University leaders and two University-wide committees — a special Senate ad hoc Committee, and the Provost's Faculty Advisory Committee on Academic Priorities.
The Framework, which focuses on academics, NYU's global initiatives, NYU in New York City, and sustainability reflects NYU's recent past, identifies the challenges and constraints the University will confront in its continuing efforts to advance in quality and stature, and provides guidelines to advise us in making choices going forward.
The University invited the entire NYU community to read and react to the discussion draft that was made available on January 25, 2008 for a six-week special "notice and comment" period. Individuals or groups were invited to submit comments, questions, and recommendations — either by attribution or anonymously. In addition, discussions about the Framework were organized within schools, administrative offices and units, the University Senate Councils, Alumni Association board, and other groups, which were very helpful in gauging community sentiment and obtaining suggestions for ways to improve the document.
Over 230 comments were received via the special website established for this purpose. All comments were transmitted in their entirety to the Board of Trustees Executive Committee, along with the proposed final version of the Framework. On April 18, 2008, the Board Executive Committee made a few suggested changes and approved the document for submission to the full Board of Trustees for final approval. The full Board approved the document at its regularly scheduled meeting on June 24, 2008.

Legally Speaking- Too Late To Settle Up?
By Bob Mionske
Posted Dec. 26, 2002
Hi Bob(
I was injured when a car pulled out in front of me while I was riding my bike to class. I broke my wrist and collarbone as a result. The accident happened in the spring of 2000 in Madison, Wisconsin. I have since graduated and moved back home. I talked to the driver's insurance company a few times and received a letter offering to bring the matter to a conclusion, but have had no contact with them since the summer of 2000. Can I still request payment for my damages or is it too late?
(J.T.(Chicago, Il
Dear J.T.,(
Wisconsin has a three-year statute of limitations. This is the statutory time limitation period within which a claim must be settled or formally filed as a lawsuit in the appropriate Court.
If your personally injury claim is not settled within three years of the date of the accident, a lawsuit must be filed to preserve and further pursue your claim. If the claim is not timely settled or if a lawsuit is not filed, the claim will be forever barred.
I recommend you contact the insurance company as soon as possible and discuss settling your claim. If you are not able to come to a mutually acceptable sum, you should consider consulting with an attorney. Remember, your rights are extinguished on the date of your accident this spring of 2003.(
Good luck- Bob

Duck Dynasty may be getting some pretty good-looking company on A&E.
Channing Tatum is putting on his producer's cap and developing an hour-long reality pilot for the cable network that will focus on the restaurant-bar Saints & Sinners on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Tatum's interest in the place – which is fashioned after a red-light-district bordello during the riverfront city's Storyville era – is because he and his business-partner friend Keith Kurtz opened it last fall, reports EW.com.
It's not yet known whether Tatum will actually appear on the show, as he otherwise has his hands full with other projects.
PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, who in June welcomed his and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum's first child, daughter Everly, is due to be seen in the upcoming movies 22 Jump Street, Foxcatcher and Jupiter Ascending.
There's also talk of a big-screen sequel to Magic Mike, as well as a Broadway musical version – all based on Tatum's own nine-month stint as an 18-year-old dancer at an all-male revue in Tampa.

Getting disrespected by Ohio State or Michigan or Wisconsin is one thing.
But this was Temple, which hasn't beaten Penn State since 1941.

Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin (11), offensive tackle Mike Farrell and tight end Kyle Carter (87) celebrate McGloin's 1-yard touchdown run on Saturday.
"Temple was kind of like running their mouth, saying how last year we got away with a win and this year how they were going to steal one and how the streak was going to end," Nittany Lion cornerback Stephon Morris said.
"Coach O'Brien definitely made us very aware of everything that was said with the media and how Temple was supposed to beat us this year and how our team was supposed to be weak."
This might not be a particularly strong PSU team, but then again, Temple isn't a world beater itself. The Owls had closed the gap in recent years and lost by only four points last season, but Saturday showed once again that Temple is still basically Penn State's little brother in the eastern part of the state.
The Lions' defense maintained control throughout the game, and PSU won easily, 24-13, despite committing 100 yards worth of penalties and shooting itself in the foot on several scoring opportunities.
The final score could have been more lopsided, but it still resulted in Penn State's 23rd consecutive win over Temple (the unbeaten streak is 31, with one tie).
"I thought we played well most of the day," O'Brien said.
The Lions (2-2) did do that, with Matt McGloin throwing for a career-high 318 yards, the offense piling up 491 yards of offense and 27 first downs and the defense holding Temple (1-2) to just 237 yards and 13 first downs.
A TD late in the first half gave the Lions a 14-3 lead at intermission, and the game was never in doubt in the second half as PSU upped the margin to 21-3 on McGloin's second scoring run with 4:57 left in the third quarter.
The Lions won their second straight game and head into next week's Big Ten opener at Illinois with a good bit of confidence.
"We were more amped up, and we were ready to show everybody that we could get momentum and win two in a row," Morris said.
O'Brien's comments to the team Monday helped fire up the players.
"Basically what Coach O'Brien pretty much said," Morris recalled, "was how this was a year that we were supposed to be beat, how the team was supposed to be weak and we lost to Ohio, we lost to UVa, this team is beatable and how [much] tougher they are ... and how we are like from this big university and they're from like the rough streets of Philly and things like that."
The only way Penn State was going to lose the game was by beating itself, and the Lions did a lot of that with nine penalties for 100 yards and one interception.
"I was disappointed in that on our end," O'Brien said. "We have got to do a better job on that. We had lineman penalties, holding calls and offensive pass interference. ... The one thing we pride ourselves on after the first three games was doing a good job of not being penalized. Today, I felt like we took a step back on that."
A holding call on tight end Matt Lehman negated a 25-yard pass play to Alex Kenney that would have put PSU at the Temple 3 in the first quarter. The Lions came up empty on that drive, and after taking a 7-3 lead, they missed another chance on second-and-goal from the 10 when McGloin had a pass intercepted after it tipped off receiver Brandon Moseby-Felder's hands.
An offensive pass interference call on tight end Kyle Carter and two holding penalties killed another promising drive late in the first half.
The Lions led 14-3 at the break, and it very easily could have been 28-3 or worse.
"We had a productive day, but we left a lot of points off the board," O'Brien said. "We've got to clean that up."
The struggles didn't matter much because Temple did very little against Penn State's defense. Owls coach Steve Addazio once was the offensive coordinator at Florida, and Temple uses the same type of offense that PSU saw from the Gators in the 2010 Outback Bowl and in last year's 14-10 Lion victory over the Owls.
"We knew what we had to do to stop them," defensive tackle Jordan Hill said. "Going back to the Florida game, we knew they were running similar stuff to that, and we knew we had to stop that type of running zone and quarterback power. It wasn't anything that we haven't seen. We harped on it all week - stopping the quarterback running - and that's what we did."
The Lions now head on the road against an Illinois team that was humbled at home Saturday night by Louisiana Tech. The Illini will be dealing with confidence issues, but not the Lions.
"Considering we were 0-2 two weeks ago and now we're 2-2, I feel like we've made some strides," defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. "We've gotten better every week, and the focus this week will be no different. We have to get better this week."
Penn State 7, Temple 0: On fourth-and-5 from the Temple 41, Matt McGloin stood in the pocket as he was getting pressured and lobbed a pass to Allen Robinson, who put a good juke move on his defender and made a good body adjustment to the ball in the air. Robinson came down with the grab and raced to the end zone with six seconds left in the quarter. Jesse Della Valle set up the drive with a 29-yard punt return to the Owls' 46. The Lions made only 5 yards in three plays, but Bill O'Brien once again showed his aggressive mentality by going for it on fourth down.
Penn State 7, Temple 3: Quarterback Chris Coyer had a bad overthrow that would have been a 7-yard TD to tight end Cody Booth, and the Owls had to settle for a 33-yard field goal by Brandon McManus with 10:29 to go in the half. Lion CB Da'Quan Davis was called for passing interference for a shove in the end zone that converted a third-and-4 from the PSU 28 and moved the ball to the 13. The Owls put together an 11-play, 52-yard drive to answer the Lions' first score.
Penn State 14, Temple 3: The Lions pinned Temple inside its own 10 with 1:46 left in the half, held on a three-and-out, used their timeouts and got the ball back at the Owls' 35 with 1:10 to go. McGloin hit Kyle Carter for 13 yards and then 20 yards on the first two plays to get down to the 1 (with the help of a 1-yard personal foul penalty), McGloin scored on the next play with 22 seconds remaining.
Penn State 21, Temple 3: McGloin finished off an 80-yard scoring drive by plunging in from 2 yards out, the first time in his career he's had two rushing TDs in a game. McGloin also had a 17-yard completion to Alex Kenney to convert a third-and-5 from the Temple 48. Zach Zwinak had a good series with two 8-yard carries and two 7-yard carries. McGloin hit tight end Matt Lehman for 22 yards to the 9, Zwinak went for 7 yards and McGloin scored on the next play with 4:57 to go in the quarter.
Penn State 21, Temple 6: Temple got a good kickoff return, and a personal foul late-hit penalty helped the Owls start at the 45. They got down to the PSU 15 before a holding penalty ruined the drive. Brandon McManus kicked a 42-yard field goal with 1:37 left in the quarter.
Penn State 24, Temple 6: The Lions put together a game-clinching drive that stalled at the 3, but it gave Sam Ficken an opportunity to build some confidence with a 21-yard field goal with 2:29 to go.
Penn State 24, Temple 13: The Owls scored a meaningless touchdown with 1:33 remaining on a 1-yard pass from Coyer to Matt Brown. They tried an onside kick afterward, but PSU recovered and ran out the clock.

When the wheels pop off
February 2, 2013
Maybe next year my luck will change. But for now, my record stands: I'm still a miserable loser when it comes to racing Pinewood Derby cars. I have a long history of Pinewood futility....
The wheels popped off? Lol.... I've never seen that happen before. Well, sounds like your skills are improving.

Training techniques for Cirque du Soleil aren't just for elite, athletic performers anymore.

An emerging fitness niche, the "circus arts," has spread across the nation in recent years and is now taking root, in various forms, in Charleston.
Circus arts are a set of disciplines more associated with carnivals than cardio, but are moving into the mainstream with fitness classes offering fun, creativity and camaraderie that a treadmill or barking boot camp instructor cannot.
The grouping of disciplines generally includes trapeze, performing aerial dance or yoga on suspended silk fabric or slings, circus rings, hooping (think "Hula"), acro yoga, slacklining, riding unicycles, belly dancing, juggling and spinning poi or even fire.
The activities are motivating some couch potatoes to join classes with former ballet dancers, gymnasts, rock climbers, yogis as well as aspiring amateur circus and carnival performers. And the circus arts appeal to children and teens.
Many tackle key components, core strength and balance, that increasingly are being noted as part of a functional fitness routine.
From the Big Top
One sign of its commercial potential came five years ago when Cirque du Soleil partnered with Reebok to create Jukari "Fit to Fly" and "Fit to Flex" programs, though none exist in South Carolina.
Since then, circus and cirque gyms and schools, offering "nontraditional workouts" have sprouted in major cities, as well as those known for having active populations such as Austin, Texas, and just up Interstate 26 in Asheville, N.C.
In Charleston, the interest in circus arts most recently was exhibited during Holy City Cirque Variety Show on June 16 at The Brick House Kitchen on James Island.
Hundreds came out to either watch for free, or even dabble for a $15 donation, in acro yoga, aerial silks, slacklining, hooping, juggling and other activities.
Organizers for the event originally planned to have it at Hampton Park, but the city pulled its permit after seeing the large number of people who indicated an interest in attending on its Facebook page.
Among the organizers of that event were several "acro yogis" — Gregory Guay, Sally Bette Newman and Kari McDuffie, who have been spearheading free meet-ups at local parks via the "Acro Yoga Charleston" Facebook page. They also have collaborated with Charleston Community Yoga to host several workshops, with certified acro yoga instructors.
Taking flight
On July 1, Jordan Anderson and Clayton Woodson, who have been teaching and performing aerial yoga and dance for five years, opened the Circus Building in part of a warehouse hidden behind a Taco Bell and a church on St. Andrews Boulevard.
Anderson and Woodson are focused on aerial silks, yoga and slings, including programs for children starting in August, along with conditioning classes to prepare students for classes.
They are among a core group of locals who are approaching circus arts from a performance standpoint. The group is called Carnivalesque, featuring not only acrobatics, aerial arts and belly dance but burlesque, and has been performing since 2011. Anderson and Woodson's aerial performance name is called Wonderson.
They had been teaching at a Catalyst Creative Arts Studio, which closed at the end of June.
In a Facebook post, Catalyst announced its closing, citing that its large studio was "a waste of space, money and maintenance" but that it planned to create a nonprofit, called Catalyst Circus and Performing Arts.
The post says, "Catalyst Circus and Performing Arts has developed a tremendous, thriving outreach program in our Charleston community, our sponsors are excited and eager to help us reach our goals and the outpouring of community and friend support that we have received has been such a blessing from God."
Not for slackers
Meanwhile, slacklining, which crosses beyond the borders of circus arts, has found a stable home in the Charleston area with the addition in March of the slackline park next to the climbing wall at James Island County Park.
Slacklining involves someone balancing on a line, measuring one or two inches wide, that is strung between two anchor points, such as trees or poles. It has been a fixture in the climbing community for decades as a training tool for core fitness and balance.
Unlike the high wire, slacklines usually are a few feet, or less, off the ground and offer opportunities to work on tricks with less risk.
Josh Hall, outdoor program manager for Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission, says the park staff first noticed slacklining during Madonna's performance at the Super Bowl in February 2012.
The Gibbon Slackline Team put on a show as part of the act and appeared at the PRC's East Coast Paddlesports and Outdoor Festival in April as part of the slackline park's introduction to the community.
"The slackline park is a great addition to our climbing wall," says Hall, adding the slackline is less intimidating than the wall. "We think it will provide a great cross-training activity for an array of activities, including stand-up paddleboarding."
Home for circus
Anderson says she and her partner, Woodson, called their new business Circus Building because "we envision it as a place to begin circus.
"Right now, we're 100 percent focused on aerial, but who knows where it will branch out," says Anderson.
As for aerial yoga, silks, hoop and trapeze, Anderson says people come to classes from the standpoints of either fitness or artistic performance, but inevitably end up embracing both.
"A lot of the people get into it for fitness, but once you're doing it for a while, and you build confidence and strength, it lends itself to creative expression," says Anderson, who was unable to do one pull-up when she started doing aerial yoga five years ago.
Ultimately, she hopes building a circus community will bring together Charleston's emerging artistic community with its already solid fitness community.

CHARLESTON -?The Bears are two steps closer to defending their title.
Oak Glen earned two wins on Friday during the Class AA state volleyball tournament at the Charleston Civic Center.

Despite dropping only two games on the day, Oak Glen coach Ethel Riser said she wants her team to play more consistent.
"We were doing fine and then all of a sudden we stopped passing, serving, hitting," she said. "Nothing went right for us for a while. Then, we turn around and kill them the next game.
"We've got to quit losing focus and be really consistent all the way through. We can't afford those kind of lapses. We've got to be consistently good."
Against James Monroe, Oak Glen came away with a 25-15, 25-8, 16-25, 25-12 victory.
In their second match of the day, the Bears beat Frankfort by scores of 25-18, 20-25, 25-18, 25-15.
On the day, Sydney Kell finished with 28 points, 130 sets, 25 assists, two spikes, two kills and five blocks, while Vanessa Hissam added four points, 27 spikes and nine kills and one block.
Morgan Poling had 16 points, 14 spikes, 23 kills, 11 blocks and six digs, and Lacee Porter had 18 points, 13 spikes, seven digs and 21 kills.
Abby Tice finished with 7 points, 7 spikes, six digs and two kills, while Jessica Stivason added 15 spikes, 15 kills and 11 blocks.
Jessica Hutton had 13 points, three aces, one spike and one kill, and Caitlyn Smith had 16 points and 13 digs.
Carissa Williams finished with 63 sets and seven assists, while Madison Juszczak added nine points, two spikes, three kills and two blocks.
Oak Glen has already defeated both Ritchie County and Philip Barbour this season.
A win today would be the fifth state title for Oak Glen.

The lodge was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The Hot tub was also very clean well maintained and, despite being at the door of the lodge, was not overlooked by other lodges, so was quite private.

When Graham MacDonald and Clint Weimann grew up in South Africa, being face-to-face with a wild animal was not uncommon. Their attitude toward them was one of respect and appreciation, not fear.
In March, while chatting with friends about the horrors of rhino poaching, they decided to create Project Rhino Charleston. And after researching anti-poaching organizations to raise money for, they found Project Rhino Kwazulu Natal, a South African organization that directly pays for supplies, aerial and foot patrols to stop poachers.
Project Rhino Charleston will host a fundraiser for anti-poaching efforts 4-8 p.m. May 4 at 1213 Fort Lamar Road on James Island. The event will be a South African cultural experience with food, a silent auction and live music from Firewater and John Totaro.

MacDonald of James Island and Weimann of Folly Beach said when searching for an organization to donate to, they wanted to make sure the money went directly to the cause. Project Rhino KZN also works with existing anti-poaching organizations. And because it is not a government or political organization, money gets to the anti-poaching team quicker because there is less red tape.
"It's a war against the rhinos," MacDonald said. "If we sat around and waited for the politicians, the rhinos would be dead."
According to the international Environmental Investigation Agency, "Rhinoceros populations have been decimated in both Africa and Asia, with three subspecies already extinct and most species and subspecies now critically endangered."
About 93 percent of the white rhino population is in South Africa. People in many Asian countries, especially Vietnam, believe their horns have healing powers and are a sign of wealth.
But Sarah MacDonald, Graham's wife and media director for Project Rhino Charleston, said their horns are made of keratin — the same thing fingernails and hair are made of. Weimann said the thing that bothers him the most is how poachers get the horns by cutting them off while the animals are alive, leaving them to bleed out and die.
Graham MacDonald said as a child he had many close encounters with rhinos, which he said are a "peaceful animal. It's a gentle giant."
But Weimann said when he visited the bush in South Africa in December, he did not see a single one.
"It's our heritage. We're very close to our country and close to nature. We can't let greed and myth eradicate this species," Graham MacDonald said.
Advance tickets for the event are encouraged are can be purchased for $15 at igg.me/at/projectrhino. If you cannot attend, you may donate at the site.
