FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio – The Fairview Park Board of Education will appoint Geoffrey G. Andrews as the district's next superintendent. He begins work Aug. 1 under the terms of a three-year contract.
His salary in Fairview Park for 2014-15 will be $159,375.
More than 30 candidates were screened for the position.
"Andrews' extensive experience in technology and incredible passion for student-centered education provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity for our district," Board President Joseph Shucofsky said in a prepared statement. "As educators, we have to prepare our students for a global, connected society, and Geoffrey could not be a better fit for Fairview."
Currently residing in Beijing, China, with his wife and two children, Andrews will return to the area where he grew up. He attended local public schools in Oberlin and eventually graduated with honors from Dartmouth College, where he studied mathematics and economics. He then went on to achieve a master's degree in computer science from Villanova University.
Andrews spent more than five years as superintendent of the Oberlin school district, where he was instrumental in raising its rating from Academic Watch to Academic Excellence. He also worked more than 10 years at the Polaris Career Center and created its Instruction Learning and Technology Leadership Institute. Andrews focused on the use of the Internet in education, a key initiative currently underway in the Fairview district as well. Andrews served on the Governor's Commission on Creativity and Innovation in Education and has been a liaison to the Board of Regents. He also co-authored the Ohio Superintendent Standards and Superintendent Evaluation protocol.
Andrews recently was named a finalist for the superintendent's position at the Kenston Local Schools before accepting the Fairview position.
He will leave his current job as director of the Western Academy of Beijing in order to become Fairview's leader.
He will replace retiring Fairview Park Superintendent Brion Deitsch.

TribWeek: Top Texas News for the Week of 5/30/11
In the just-ended legislative session, freshman state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, made a name for himself — and not always a nice one — with his passionate push for the "anti-groping" airport bill and his outspoken stance against proposals he believed represented government intrusion into personal freedoms.
A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last week upholding an Arizona law that punishes employers who hire illegal immigrants may give Texas lawmakers some newfound momentum to file immigration-related legislation.
Renewable energy companies are looking to this big, sunny state as the next frontier for solar power. But solar is expensive ...

Any suggestions as to how I can persuade AXA to cover the cost of the damage to my car? I have fully comprehensive insurance with them.
The damage occurred in a supermarket car park whilst I was in the shop for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately there is no CCTV in the car park and the three wise monkeys would have been more helpful as witnesses than the several people, including the supermarket staff, whom my friend and I asked about the incident.
Apparently, the damage to my car is 'too rusty for such a dry march'.
This is in spite of the fact that I bought the car in December, when it was immaculate and my whole village would be willing to testify as to how proud I was of 'my posh car'.
I should also mention that I live in Cornwall, on the edge of Bodmin Moor - not the most forgiving of climates.
I can't help wondering if part of my problem is that I would not be 'persuaded' to use the garage AXA recommended. I chose to return the car to the garage where I bought it as the locality is far more convenient and have found the staff trustworthy and helpful.
So please does anyone have any advice that might help me encourage AXA to live up to their obligations and pay for the repairs to my car?

For me it's about inches and fat bulges. Fat loss is unfair. I do everything 'right' and I am plump. Sure, i can sometimes stick in size 2 or 4 depending on how much of a vanity factor a particular clothing company added to that number, but I know I am not a TRUE Size 4 (24" waist). And my legs look fat. So, I am doing some things 'wrong' now, because why the heck can't I have legs that don't look fat? I mean, a 100% devotion to coconut milk and roast chicken is all fine and great, but if it keeps you fat & lethargic, what's good is sticking to some abstract nutritional principle? It's the same as vegetarians who persist despite losing their hair or staying fat.
Fat loss is unfair, one needs to find what works even if it is not 'clean' and 'pure' and 100% 'by the book'. I mean, if you can get the physique you love 'by the book', hell, that's AWESOME. I guess, I have to cheat. On CW - with Primal or Paleo, on Primal/Paleo - with CW... So weird.

Chris Eiswerth paused and looked into his players' eyes while delivering his inaugural speech as South Williamsport head coach.
His remarks were prepared but it was time to improvise. It was time to let his players know they had a chance to do something unique.
"This isn't for everyone guys," Eiswerth said. "You guys are special, so let's turn this thing around."
Then Eiswerth and his players went to work.
Starting that January day in 2011, Eiswerth instilled a ferocious work ethic in his players. They began seeing the results last year, making a two-win improvement and finishing 4-6. This year, they took another huge step forward. This year, everything came together.
The Mounties enjoyed their best season since 1997, going 10-2 while winning their first playoff game in 15 years and reaching the District 4 Class A championship. And while Eiswerth gives the players all the credit, one better believe he is a major reason South football is back.
Eiswerth has restored the luster to a proud program and his efforts have earned him the Sun-Gazette Coach of the Year Award.
"This year's seniors have really enjoyed the last two years with coach Eiswerth," senior offensive lineman Brock Steppe said. "He brought us back from the depths of Class A District 4 to being a powerhouse again in the district."
South lost only to Southern Columbia while beating six teams who downed it a year ago. It was a year where streaks of all kinds came to an end, starting in the season opener when the Mounties defeated Bloomsburg for the first time since 1996. A dramatic overtime win over Canton followed the next week and after two fourth-quarter comeback wins, South was off and running.
Along the way, South beat Hughesville for the first time since 2004, captured its first outright league championship (the NTL Small School) since 1999 and won 10 games for the first time in 15 years.
Eiswerth had South peaking at the perfect time, too. The Mounties won their final six regular season games and battered Sayre and Muncy in consecutive weeks, games that determined the NTL championship. South outscored its league opponents by a 25-point average, gained more than 300 yards per game and averaged more than 30 points per game. Its players dominated the league all-star team, putting first-teamers at nearly every position.
It was the culmination of relentless work the last two years. There really has been no offseason since Eiswerth took over and the hard work has paid huge dividends.
"Coach Eiswerth means everything to the program," Steppe said. "He got everything together, all the lifting programs, the speed training programs, and took us to different camps that have really helped us as players."
Everything Eiswerth instilled in his team and everything his team represented came shining through in a district semifinal rematch against Bloomsburg. Despite being the No. 2 seed, South was an underdog since Bloomsburg had beaten District 4 Class AA champion Danville and HAC-II champion Central Columbia in consecutive weeks. It also featured a 2,500-yard passer, one of District 4's all-time leading receivers and a stingy defense.
But Bloomsburg was no match for South.
The Mounties physically manhandled Bloomsburg, outhit the Panthers and romped to a 32-16 win. South allowed only 4 first-half yards and did not surrender a first down until midway through the third quarter. The offense, as it did all year, was vintage South with a physical running game overwhelming Bloomsburg.
All the while, a huge South crowd enthusiastically cheered and many came onto the field afterward to congratulate players and coaches. It was the kind of night the players had dreamed of experiencing. It was like old times.
And that is what Eiswerth has been hoping to rekindle.
"He was always on our backs trying to get the very best out of each and every player," Steppe said. "He never gave up on any of us."

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Instead of the usual five keys to the game, we'll take a look at what we can expect to happen Saturday at Beaver Stadium when Penn State plays Nebraska.
There probably will be some protesters and some heated discussions among fans as they debate/argue their positions about the scandal and Joe Paterno getting fired. Let's hope everyone remains civil, and there will be heightened security with extra police on hand just in case.
There definitely will be a ton of national and even international attention on the game, and hopefully the scene stays calm so that further embarrassment is not brought upon Penn State University and State College.
There also will be a football game, and with that we can expect to see a tremendous show of support for the players on this year's team by the incredibly loyal, knowledgeable and passionate Nittany Lion fan base.
There are more than 100 young men on the team, young men who have absolutely nothing to do with this scandal. They are caught in the middle of it and are facing some of the toughest adversity of their lives, all because a bunch of grown-ups failed miserably to act responsibly for the past 13 years.
None of that is Silas Redd's fault. Or Matt McGloin's fault. Or Gerald Hodges' fault. Or any other member of the team's fault.
These are good kids who have worked their entire lives to get to this point, to be 8-1 and battling for a Big Ten championship. This three-game stretch to end the regular season against Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin was always going to be a major challenge, and this scandal has made it a monumental one.
Some people have suggested this game should not be played because, in light of this horrific scandal, football isn't all that important. And there's a lot of truth in that.
But canceling the game is not the way to go. Nor should the next two games at Ohio State and Wisconsin be canceled.
That would only be punishing the players and robbing them of an opportunity to create lasting memories for the rest of their lives.
These young men are having to find a way to develop leadership and strength in unity to persevere through difficult times. For them, the game will be a release from all this pressure, an outlet for them to escape and do what they know how to do best, at least for a little while.

Dorval's Queen of Angels Academy, an institution for more than a century, will be closing its doors at the end of the current school year.
The board of directors sent a letter to its alumni Thursday evening informing them of the closure, saying the school can't afford to go on.
They say it's due to a high deficit, rising costs and low enrolment. It says the number of students enrolled has gone from 515 students a year to 186.
"I really hope that we at least have the chance to say goodbye to the school, the teachers, the memories, if I can take a chunk of the building with me, I will," Abigail Jacobs who graduated in 2007 said.
"My younger daughter found it was a little buttoned down for her, and she wanted to go to school with boys, so she is finishing her high school at another school," Steve Traynor, a parent who enrolled two daughters at QAA told CJAD.
In its letter, the school said it considered co-education, adding a French stream and merging with other private schools to stay open.
It said it was forced to double their fees over the last seven years to stay open and they would have to double them again next year to stay open.
The Queen of Angels Academy refused to comment.

LOS ANGELES — Professional and amateur golfers are likely to know on Tuesday whether they would be permitted to use long putters anchored to any part of their body from 2016 onwards.
The game's rule makers are widely expected to announce the controversial proposed ban on the anchoring technique when they hold simultaneous news conferences on Tuesday, at Far Hills in New Jersey and at Virginia Water in Surrey, UK.
Should the governing bodies decide to go forward with that proposal in just over two-and-a-half years' time, it is by no means guaranteed that all interested parties will automatically fall in line.
When the ban was proposed in November, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal & Ancient (R&A) said they wanted to outlaw the anchored putting stroke by 2016 to preserve the "skill and challenge" of putting.
Players and the golfing community were then given 90 days in which to discuss that proposal.
By the end of that period, the European Tour had expressed its support of the idea while both the US PGA Tour and PGA of America voiced opposition.
Golf could become extremely muddled, or messy at the very least, as it remains to be seen whether the PGA Tour and the PGA of America would back the anchoring ban should it come into effect.
During the build-up to the Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass earlier in May, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem was asked about the likely response of the US Tour.
"We haven't even discussed internally in our organisation what our response will be to their completion of their process until they complete it," he said.
"We were asked our views. We made those views known to the USGA and the R&A, and they have to now complete their process.
"When they complete it, then we'll turn around and have a conversation with our players and our board about the position we should take at that point. Until we get there, we're not going to speculate on it."
Last November's announcement by the rule makers came after three of the previous five Major champions had used "belly" putters — Keegan Bradley (2011 PGA Championship), Webb Simpson (2012 US Open) and Ernie Els (2012 British Open).
Australian Adam Scott then followed suit when he won last month's Masters while using a long putter anchored to his chest.
Bradley blazed the "belly putter" trail with his playoff victory over Jason Dufner at Atlanta Athletic Club and yet he cannot recall any fuss being made over his achievement at the time. "Wasn't a big deal at all," the 26-year-old recalled.
"I was the first one to do it and afterwards didn't get asked one question about it."

Numerous studies have been made throughout the world about the benefits of yoga. It is high time that you should find a nearest Bikram Yoga Studio and enroll today!
What can you expect from your first class?
Basic Guidelines of Bikram Yoga
- Carpet is the only approved flooring. No other flooring is allowed including rubber, PVC, cork, wood, etc.
- Mirrors must be on the front wall. Two or three walls are recommended with three walls being ideal.
- Temperature: 105f degree Heat / 40% Humidity. (Temperature can be adjusted for extremes in humidity; low humidity + higher temperature; high humidity + lower temperature)

Last night for evening meal myself and missus shark had Moroccan style lamb tajine,a bona fide primal meal.
Instead of the usual cauliflower rice we had English chips,that is,french fried white potatoes thick sliced and deep fat fried in lard.
My question is :- How frowned upon should i consider chips?I know spuds are not exactly recommended but they are not grains,they are not that bad.Are they?
I eat a lot of potatoes, as they are ridiculously cheap and filled with calories, and make a great boat for butter and cheese. But then, I'm young and very active. If you need to lose weight, or are worried about your cholesterol, I'd stay away from them. But they're great for athletes who need to get some extra carbs! But in general they're pretty frowned upon as they are very high on the GI. A potato is pretty much pure fast releasing carbs. So unless you're trying to build muscle or something, I wouldn't eat them.
Remember, you are unique just like everybody else.

About UK Millionaire Maker
The EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker game guarantees that one player in the UK will win £1 million in every draw. As the two games are separate it is possible to win a prize both on the main EuroMillions game and the UK Millionaire Maker, so players are advised to check their tickets carefully.
How it Works
Since the odds of winning are dependent on the number of tickets sold rather than matching a pool of numbers, the odds of winning the UK Millionaire Maker game will vary depending on the number of players in each game. For example, a midweek EuroMillions draw tends to have a lower number of players which means that your odds of winning midweek are better than winning on Friday.
Visit the How it Works page for a more detailed explanation about how the UK Millionaire Maker is selected and how the odds vary from draw to draw.
How to Claim
If you have won a UK Millionaire Maker prize then you will need to claim within 180 days of the draw date, as per the EuroMillions Rules. If you do not claim in time, your prize will be allocated to the UK Good Causes fund.
View the How to Claim page for more information.
History of the UK Millionaire Maker
Previously known as the Millionaire Raffle, this supplementary game was first introduced on Friday 13th November 2009 to offer UK players an extra chance of winning a prize when they played EuroMillions.
Although one lucky player is chosen to win £1 million during every draw, occasionally special games are also held which pay out multiple prizes.
In March 2014, an application was granted which allowed additional non-cash prizes to be offered alongside the existing £1 million prize, as well as renaming the game to signify the change. The first UK Millionaire Maker and Mega Friday draw took place on Friday 31st October 2014. To celebrate the launch 25 players had the opportunity to win £1 million along with a VIP trip to Makepeace Island in Australia.
To date there have been UK Millionaire Maker and Millionaire Raffle numbers issued from draws, of which were special draws where more than one raffle number was drawn on the same night.
Mega Friday
Mega Friday refers to special UK Millionaire Maker draws where non-cash prizes are offered in addition to the usual £1 million UK Millionaire Maker prize. Visit the Mega Friday page for more information including a history of previous Mega Friday prizes.
Super Raffle
This is a name reserved for extraordinary UK Millionaire Maker events where a large quantity of £1 million prizes will be available in a single draw. More information will be available once the first Super Raffle has been announced.
Millionaires Month
In the month leading up to Christmas 2011, EuroMillions launched Millionaires Month which created 50 Millionaire Raffle winners in the space of a month. Read more about this by visiting the Millionaires Month page.
100 Millionaires
Occasionally, EuroMillions will hold special editions of the UK Millionaire Maker which will see 100 players win £1 million. These one off draws are usually held to coincide with a special event, such as the opening of the Olympic Games in July 2012.
The draw on Friday 27th July 2012 broke the world record for making the highest number of millionaires in one night, with 97 of the 100 prizes claimed. For more information please visit the 100 Millionaires page.
£1 Million Every Month for a Year
On Friday 31st May 2013, the UK Millionaire Raffle offered one lucky player the chance to win £1 million every month for a year instead of the usual one-off £1 million prize.
To read more about this event, please visit the £1 million Every Month for a Year page.
Christmas and New Year's Special Draws
There are often special versions of the UK Millionaire Maker game held around the festive season which give away multiple raffle prizes. In the past, these games have been held on Christmas Day/Boxing Day and New Year's Eve/New Year's Day.

A couple of days ago, Jordan Lucas was getting his things packed so he could enroll early at Temple.
Today, Lucas holds the unique distinction of being the first Penn State football recruit of the Bill O'Brien Era.
Lucas, a 6-foot-1, 182-pound defensive back, became the 15th member of the Nittany Lions' 2012 recruiting class and the first since O'Brien was named as successor to Joe Paterno after assistant coaches Ted Roof, Ron Vanderlinden and John Butler visited him and made him a scholarship offer on Monday.
"I never really thought about it until I heard somebody say it, but that's big. I'm glad to be his first commit,'' Lucas said. "Coach O'Brien accepted this as a challenge, and I take it as a challenge, too. I think that program is going to keep rising. He wants to take the program to the top and keep the tradition going, and I want to be a part of that. That's why I picked Penn State.''
A Worcester, Mass., Academy teammate of Canaan Severin, a wide receiver who eventually picked Virginia over Penn State, Lucas also was weighing an offer from UMass. UConn, Rutgers and Virginia recruited him but didn't
extend a scholarship offer.
A Miami fan growing up who watched a lot of Penn State games, too, Lucas was at Penn State to see the Nittany Lions host Alabama, but he didn't get an offer until Roof approached him recently. Lucas said Penn State sees him at free safety, although he's played both cornerback and safety in high school.
Lucas was supposed to being taking classes at Temple on Tuesday.
"I was surprised. It was nothing I was expecting. I was getting ready to go to Temple for a week here, and they came out of nowhere late in my recruiting process. I'm glad I waited,'' Lucas said.
According to Worcester coach David Dykeman, in eight games this season, Lucas rushed for 920 yards, caught passes covering 450 and scored 12 touchdowns, including three on punt returns. He also had two interceptions, but Dykeman said had to move him from cornerback to safety halfway through the year so that teams couldn't so easily avoid him by going to the other side of the field instead.
"He has tremendous athletic skills, and he has tremendous ball skills. He's a great tackler. He was a lockdown corner for us, and, at safety, he was a ballhawk,'' Dykeman said. "On offense, he was a running back, he was a quarterback and he was a receiver. We utilized him in every facet you could imagine. As a punt returner, he returned three punts for touchdowns in the first two games.''
In a 40-6 win over Northfield Mount Hermon, Lucas returned the first two punts he fielded for touchdowns and took the third to the opponent's 5. He also caught a 20-yard scoring pass, rushed for 120 yards and blanketed Mount Hermon's best receiver the entire game.
"Jordan flew under the radar coming out of his junior year simply because he was really behind the 8-ball academically. He worked his tail off his senior year and his postgraduate year to get that stuff cleaned up,'' Dykeman said. "Football wasn't the issue.''
Before last season, Lucas was a three-year starter at New Rochelle, N.Y., High School. During his time there, Lucas became friends with current Nittany Lions Khairi Fortt and Silas Redd on the camp circuit.
"It was for academics and maturity,'' Lucas said of his reasons for transferring to Worcester. "I didn't feel I was ready to be at a four-year university [coming out of high school].''
Lucas, who wants to major in communications, also runs track - he's record a time of 11.0 seconds in the 100 meters. He has been playing football since third grade.
"I was a rough kid. My parents figured this kid needed to hit somebody. I took karate for a little bit, but that didn't work out, so football was the next thing,'' said Lucas, whose favorite player is Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry. "I started out playing defensive end.''
Vanderlinden, Butler and new defensive coordinator Ted Roof also dropped in on soft commits Camren Williams and Armani Reeves while in Massachusetts. The Catholic Memorial School four-star duo are slated to visit Ohio State in the middle of this week and then make their official visits to Penn State along with Lucas on the weekend of Jan. 27 - O'Brien is expected to have more time on campus that week because it will be an off-week for his New England Patriots even if they are in the Super Bowl. Reeves also is still considering Michigan, which he visited over the weekend.
Meanwhile, assistants Charles London and John Strollo were in the Buffalo area to see running back Akeel Lynch and his top blocker at St. Francis Prep, Miles Bartholomew. Lynch, who recently began drawing attention from Oklahoma, has now decommitted from Boston College.
A large contingent of recruits were at University Park this past weekend for their official visits to Penn State, including all of the other previously committed players except for Williams, Reeves and Jesse James, who is already enrolled. They were joined by uncommitted safety De'metrious Cox from Jeannette.
Most of the early internet reports from the weekend were positive, and Maryland tight end Brent Wilkerson, who had been to Nebraska recently, reportedly reaffirmed his commitment. The staff seems also to have done a good job mending fences with Connecticut commit Malik Golden. It was believed likely Golden, originally recruited as a cornerback but now being brought in as a receiver, would decommit and instead sign with Iowa or UConn. Golden expects to have a final announcement soon.
The new staff already has made several new offers. One has gone out to Jonathan Warner, son of former Nittany Lion great Curt Warner and a wide receiver from Washington; he's expected to be at Penn State this weekend. Two more reportedly have been extended to Birmingham, Ala., linebackers Beau Hankins and Harding Harper, who are high school teammates.
Also on the list of probable visitors for this weekend are receiver Trevor Williams and West Virginia defensive back commit Da'Quan Davis of Baltimore Calvert Hall, the alma mater of current Lion cornerback Adrian Amos. In addition, Sean Fitz of Lions247.com broke a story on Monday that Georgia quarterback Steve Bench, who made a Rice commitment but is being pursued by Mississippi State and North Carolina, is scheduled to be on campus, as well.
Websites also are reporting Penn State has a commitment from Maryland long snapper Joe Marvin to come in as an invited walk-on.
While Reeves and Williams are considering their options, one former Nittany Lion recruit, Colorado offensive lineman Joey O'Connor, made his choice on Tuesday. O'Connor committed to Ohio State, where he'll join another former Penn State recruit, defensive tackle Tommy Schutt.

Buffalo State cruised into the semifinals of the State University of New York Athletic Conference men's hockey tournament with a 6-0 win over Fredonia in front of 605 at the Ice Arena on Wednesday night.
Next for the Bengals (13-11-2) is a semifinal game at top-seeded Oswego (21-4) at 7 p.m. Saturday.
The Bengals took a 2-0 lead after the first period on goals by Brett Hope and Ryan Salkeld.
Nick Melligan (Niagara-Wheatfield) scored the first of his two goals in the second period as the Bengals held a 25-9 advantage in shots on goal through the first 40 minutes. Matt Bessing (Cheektowaga) picked up a goal and two assists while Elijah Cohen added a goal.
Goaltender Kevin Carr needed to make just 17 saves to earn the shutout for the Bengals.

LINDENWOLD — After months of truck drivers asserting their right to make a living while residents complained that the big tractor-trailers were unsightly and blocked streets, many thought the issue was finally going to be wrapped up this week.
But that would've been too easy.
A truck-parking ordinance that was to be voted on tomorrow has been put on hold. The ordinance allowed one commerical vehicle weighing more than 9,000 pounds to be parked in residential areas behind a property. All others would have to be parked in industrial zones.

"The package was non-hazardous/explosive," fire spokesman Jason Evans said.
Postal inspectors took possession of the envelope; still no word on what it contained.
Original entry:
Dallas Fire-Rescue is investigating a suspicious envelope at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service in the Red Bird area of Dallas.
There have been no evacuations or injuries associated with the discovery at the headquarters in the 8900 block of Autobahn Drive.
"Everything's going on as usual over there," AAFES spokesman Chris Ward said.
Fire-Rescue's hazardous materials unit is preparing to analyze the envelope, and the bomb squad and postal inspectors have been alerted.
"We are not disclosing any details about the contents of the package except to say that it was in a sealed envelope," fire spokesman Jason Evans said.

At 16-7 overall and 5-5 in Big East Conference play, the West Virginia University basketball teams needs just one thing to bounce itself off the NCAA Tournament bubble - a win tonight at No. 6 Pittsburgh.
The Mountaineers have a solid overall record and sport better-than average RPI rating, but the one thing their tourney resume is still lacking is a signature win.
Not to say that a win against the Panthers would ensure a berth to the big dance, or that a loss would doom its season, but a victory over its biggest rival would do wonders for West Virginia come selection Sunday.
There's no doubt the Mountaineers will carry momentum into the clash after putting together one of their best overall team efforts of the season, a 86-59 drubbing of Providence at the Coliseum on Saturday.
WVU junior forward Da'Sean Butler says the team's performance was needed heading into the Petersen Events Center for the 7 p.m. nationally televised ESPN contest.
"This was a must-win game," said Butler who finished Saturday's contest with 17 points and nine rebounds. "You can't lose this game and then expect to go into Pitt. Because honestly, I'm not going to lie, if we lost this game we probably would have had our heads down, and then coach would have ripped us, and then we would have had our heads down even more. Then we would have went into Pitt and got blown out by 100. This was a game we needed to get everybody's confidence going and to get everybody focused for this game we got coming up."
The Mountaineers strong effort against the Friars wasn't limited to one end of the floor. It's signed, sealed and delivered that WVU is going to bring it on the defensive end on most nights, but when it comes to scoring, the Mountaineers have had their fare share of problems in that department. Hopefully Saturday's 86 point effort, which saw four players reach double figures, will be a confident builder and a momentum switcher on the offensive end of the floor. One player in particular, senior guard Alex Ruoff, broke out of mini shooting slump by draining 6-of-7 shots from three-point range and finishing with a team-high 24 points.
"Alex making six out of seven threes had as much to do with us winning as anything," said Huggins. "Because now all of a sudden you have to chase him and you have to chase Da'Sean, and that opens things up for the other guys."
Huggins was happy with his teams' offensive output, but was quick to point out that the both go hand-in-hand, and if not for WVU's strong defensive play, reaching 86 points would not have been possible.
"Our defense was so much better and that we created offense from our defense," said Huggins. "We got how many runs outs? How many open looks in transition and layups did we get because we created from our defense? That's as good as team effort as we've had in a while. When we score 86 points we're going to win.
"It was our defense. Our defense was just so much better, was so much more aggressive. We got our hands on some balls and got out in transition."
Huggins knows his team is happy and excited about Saturday's win, but hopes WVU will remain focused and continue to be prepared for a battle each and every night in the country's best basketball conference.
"It's just day after day after day in this league and I think that's the hard thing for these guys to get a hold of," said Huggins. "You know you win some games and people will pat them on the tail and now all of a sudden you're staring at playing Pitt. I think we need to embrace it and go up there with the idea that we are going to win.
n n n
ON THE VERGE: One of the Mountaineers' most highly-touted recruits in recent memory, Devin Ebanks, appears to be on the verge of putting his entire game together for the Mountaineers.
Ebanks has had several games where he's put up steady numbers this season, but on Saturday he appeared to have it all going in every department, finishing with 13 points, six rebounds and five assists.
"Devin always contributes, whether it's rebounding the ball or passing the ball," said Huggins. "He hasn't scored I don't think the way he's going to be capable of scoring the ball, but I think again a lot of that's related to his lack of strength. We just gotta get him stronger in the offseason. But he does a lot of things that go unnoticed."
Ebanks has became a fan favorite among Mountaineer fans because of his ability to put the ball in the hole with thunderess dunks. The crowd was treated to three slams on Saturday, but what was possible more important was that Ebanks assisted on three of WVU's first seven field goals.

50th Anniversary Tour For The Rolling Stones?
The Rolling Stones were formed in London, England in 1962, meaning the 50th anniversary will happen next year. Though the band have been through rough times and member changes like any other band, being together for five decades is such a huge accomplishment that 90% of bands will never reach. I think they should celebrate with a special tour, as their fans have been a huge part of their longevity and success.
Guitarist Keith Richards, who has been with the band since day one, made a statement to USA Today about the possibility of a tour, according to Popeater:
Something's blowing in the wind, he said. The idea's there. We kind of know we should do it, but nobody's put their finger on the moment yet. This is what we have to ask each other: Do we want to go out in a blaze of glory? We can, if Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts feel like I do, that we can still turn people on. We don't have to prove nothing anymore. I just love playing, and I miss the crowd.
Right now, the idea is just in the works. Nothing has been set in stone (get it? Haha) yet, but as more news progresses we'll be sure to keep you updated. However, something else is definitely happening for the band:
Fans of the band will be delighted to hear that a re-issue of 1978's 'Some Girls' similar to 2010's 'Exile On Main Street' set is in the works. Containing hits such as 'Miss You' and 'Beast of Burden,' the album is widely acknowledged to be the Rolling Stones' last true masterpiece.
How do feel about a potential Stones tour? How far would you go to see them?

Wow what a story: "Thursday Nigh Market Faces Scrutiny."
Was Mr. Rosenthal around a few years ago when it was on Fridays? That was crazy. Or when the teenagers hung out in groups (large) groups all around the market? So many people have worked hard to make the market what it is today. A community event!
Who are you to make a decision based on just your needs? I feel you are a small percent who feel this way about the market. You say 95 percent of them (kids) behave. So five percent misbehave? What do they do? Because after working a nine-hour day at my job I volunteer at the NEO booth, which is at the market. This area is set up to be youth friendly. The Grass Valley Police Dept., many parents, teens and community members help maintain this area. We have worked together as a community to put on a community event. If you're worried about parking for your business you should have thought about that before you bought the business. On any given day your customers may have a problem.
I feel you are taking us backwards. Next it will be anyone over 50 will not be allowed to the market, because we might walk too slow and hold up the flow of walking traffic. Or how about no children at all? Maybe people with brown hair should be allowed to attend every other Thursday. I really don't get why this is even something that is being considered.
My favorite saying is, "It takes a village to raise a child." Maybe Mr. Rosenthal, you are in the wrong village.

Rape victims know exactly what is happening to them and how they are being abused. But victims of sexual harassment are often very confused and uncertain about their initial encounters with sexual harassment.
This is because sexual harassment can take place very quickly or it can occur as a series of events over a long period of time. The wide range of behaviors exhibited by harassers can also confuse the victim – was I or was I not sexually harassed?
By the time the victims are certain that they have been sexually harassed, they usually experience some or all of the following:
- Depressive symptoms – they withdraw from their normal activities, tear easily, avoid social events and feel fatigued.
- Behavioural symptoms – they experience high stress, anxiety, or panic attacks. Other signs include sleep disturbances, nightmares, loss of appetite, and being jumpy, scared or suspicious of a person or work environment.
- Perceptive symptoms – victims begin to view their work environment with negativity and hostility. They develop trust and safety issues in otherwise healthy personal relationships as they struggle with shame, denial, guilt and feelings of helplessness.
Anyone can fall prey to sexual harassment. However, new staff, young graduates or school leavers or anyone with an introverted personality is more susceptible as they are perceived to be least likely to report them.

Blogger meetup today! I drank a Vega Shake and Go to tide me over during my morning walk.
Yes, that would be a "Chicken Run" Crazy Straw in a Pac-Man glass…
No, I don't have kids.
I thought Lemonade would be a good meeting place for lunch since you don't need reservations for big groups, it's cafeteria style (to make payment a breeze), and the food is great!
I blogged about the Lemonade on Abbot Kinney before, but this was my first time at the one on Beverly. Very similar to the Venice location.
I ordered 2 portions of their ready-made salads, which really means 4 options (a portion = 2 scoops).
Sampled the chicken breast with butternut squash, grapes, and oregano…
..but ultimately went with some other choices
- Sweet Potato and Pistachio
- Brussels Sprouts, shaved parmesan, balsamic
- Poached chicken, green mango, jicama, chili
- Spaghetti Squash, farro, pomegranate
The indoor space is small, but there's plenty of outdoor seating!
My dining companions:
- Christy
- Stephanie (a reader)
- Becki from Hike, Bike, Eat
- Katy from Katy Eats
- Andy and Amanda from Two Boos Who Eat
- (A very blonde) Megan from Healthy Hoggin'
- Eden from Eden Eats
- Ameena from Fancy That, Fancy This
Ameena's daughter Maya snapped this photo of us before we left – she's quite the photographer, for someone who hasn't even started kindergarten yet…
Fun brunch! I always love meeting new foodies via the blog. Speaking of meetups, I am going to be in NYC beginning of September. Email me (actorsdiet – at – gmail – dot – com) if you want to chat and chew!
Stopped by Whole Foods on the way back to get dog food, wound up picking up a six-pack of Zevia. This is a flavor I've never tried:
It was no Dr. Pepper, which I'm guessing it's trying to imitate. There's something medicinal/cough syrup-y about it (although it's not nearly that bad).
Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Why You Hate Cyclists
Partly because of jerks like me. But it's mostly your own illogical mind.
By Jim Saksa
Monday, Sept. 24, 2012
Biking is my primary means of transportation, so when someone defames cyclists, I feel particularly bad. The fact is, unlike me, most bicyclists are courteous, safe, law-abiding citizens who are quite willing and able to share the road. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia studied rider habits on some of Philly's busier streets, using some rough metrics to measure the assholishness of bikers: counting the number of times they rode on sidewalks or went the wrong way on one-way streets. The citywide averages in 2010 were 13 percent for sidewalks and 1 percent for one-way streets at 12 locations where cyclists were observed, decreasing from 24 percent and 3 percent in 2006. There is no reason to believe that Philly has particularly respectful bicyclists—we're not a city known for respectfulness, and our disdain for traffic laws is nationally renowned. Perhaps the simplest answer is also the right one: Cyclists are getting less aggressive.
A recent study by researchers at Rutgers and Virginia Tech supports that hypothesis. Data from nine major North American cities showed that, despite the total number of bike trips tripling between 1977 and 2009, fatalities per 10 million bike trips fell by 65 percent. While a number of factors contribute to lower accident rates, including increased helmet usage and more bike lanes, less aggressive bicyclists probably helped, too.
The affect heuristic explains how our minds take a difficult question (one that would require rigorous logic to answer) and substitutes it for an easier one. When our emotions get involved, we jump to pre-existing conclusions instead of exerting the mental effort to think of a bespoke answer. The affect heuristic helps explain why birthers still exist even though Obama released his birth certificate—it's a powerful, negative emotional issue about which lots of people have already made up their minds. When it comes to cyclists, once some clown on two wheels almost kills himself with your car, you furiously decide that bicyclists are assholes, and that conclusion will be hard to shake regardless of countervailing facts, stats, or arguments.
Moreover, bicycling as a primary means of transportation—I'm not talking about occasional weekend riders here—is a foreign concept to many drivers, making them more sensitive to perceived differences between themselves and cyclists. People do this all the time, making false connections between distinguishing characteristics like geography, race, and religion and people's qualities as human beings. Sometimes it is benign ("Mormons are really polite"), sometimes less so ("Republicans hate poor people"). But in this case, it's a one-way street: Though most Americans don't ride bikes, bikers are less likely to stereotype drivers because most of us also drive. The "otherness" of cyclists makes them stand out, and that helps drivers cement their negative conclusions. This is also why sentiments like "taxi drivers are awful" and "Jersey drivers are terrible" are common, but you don't often hear someone say "all drivers suck." People don't like lumping themselves into whatever group they are making negative conclusions about, so we subconsciously seek out a distinguishing characteristic first.
Every time another bicyclist pulls some dickish stunt, the affect heuristic kicks in to reinforce the preconceived biases. The same isn't true in reverse: The conviction that bicyclists are erratically moving hazards is not diminished by the repeated observance of safe and respectful riding. Facts and logical arguments that do not conform to the emotional conclusion are discounted or disregarded. But we're not doomed to our initial prejudices: Once a person becomes aware of her biases, she is more able to engage rational thought processes to overcome the affect heuristic and dispel her inaccurate conclusions. So, study those stats bike haters!

The bridge starts at AppArmor peak and is well supported by both Netfiler pillar and file descriptor pillar ;-) That is, make processes run under the most restrictive AppArmor profile possible under a uid that is denied from initiating any network traffic by NetFilter. Than pass those processes file descriptors (or MinorFs strong paths) and/or networking sockets, and you will find you have traveled succesfully from ACL mountain to Capability mountain without losing much altitude :-) Rob

I was wondering if you could give me recommendations for a good booster seat. Obviously, safety is most important, but looking for your favorites. My LO is currently in a Britax Boulevard and I want to buy a booster for traveling so I don't have to carry the heavy Boulevard around. Thanks!

Yeah, I've got Debian boxes that have never *not* netbooted (one Dell
Op^?^?Craptiplex box whose BIOS and ACPI sucks so bad it can't even
load GRUB/LILO, although Windows somehow works fine). So they boot
PXELinux using the PXE boot ROM on the NICs and it loads both a
kernel and an initramfs into memory. Kernel is stock Debian and
hardly has enough built-in to spit at you, let alone find network/
disks, but it manages to load everything it needs off the
automagically-generated initramfs.

Steadfast by Name, Lively on ASX Debut
Shares in Australian insurance broking network Steadfast Group Ltd. soared on their debut, which may bode well for future initial public offerings down under.
The company's value surged to 760.4 million Australian dollars (US$677.3 million) after the stock jumped as high as A$1.395 in early trade. That represented a 21.3% rise over its issue price of A$1.15 a share.
"We saw an opportunity to participate in the IPO as it was at a discount to listed peer Austbrokers," said Eley Griffiths Group analyst David Allingham. Eley Griffiths Group Small Companies Fund owns shares in Steadfast.
Mr. Allingham said he was buoyed by the decision of Steadfast's chief executive Robert Kelly to take a five-year interest free loan to buy 5 million shares at A$1.00 each, despite it representing a discount to the price for retail and institutional investors.
"He's got good skin in the game and will be better incentivized," Mr. Allingham said.
Prior to the Steadfast deal, just 18 new companies had joined the Australian Securities Exchange in the year to date, raising US$925 million between them.
"The market is starved, we're genuinely desperate for good ideas and like seeing companies seeking capital to grow businesses," Mr. Allingham said.
Fund managers may soon have plenty of options as a handful of IPOs are in pre-marketing mode, including real estate duo Pacific Retail REIT and Centuria Property Trust, and foreign exchange specialist OzForex.

Kinect's vision of turning users into controllers starts to show its genre limitations around the time you spot the available lineup of titles at your nearest store. Developers for the tech have been continuing to tighten their death-grip on the mini-game model of game design. Rafting, balancing, bubble-popping, and tennis variations are some of the golden standards within the line-up, and rarely are you going to get major breaks from those tropes. Which is why The Gunstringer is such an odd animal in the context of Kinect.
For one, The Gunstringer seems to be made with a slightly older target audience in mind. This is an action-comedy from Twisted Pixel Games, a developer who has previously worked on 'Splosion Man. And it's a game that answers that single great question in development: what would happen if we combined Toy Story with The Three Amigos?
The game sneers at you for being left-handed, offering you a "Lefty mode" if you "suffer from left-handedness" and apologises for your general uselessness. Even its title character feels more like the star of an Internet meme than the hero of a Pixar film, regardless of the cartoony nature of the game.
You play a marionette skeleton and a Spaniard, and you've made your home in a Spaghetti Western-styled desert where you fight roaming gangs and hunt flocks of birds, slide behind crates for cover-based combat instances, find your footing around cannonballs as they roll downhill toward you, manoeuvre across 3D platforms, and time your jumps around strategically placed spikes - all with your hands.
Because in The Gunstringer, legs are optional. The Gunstringer imagines a world where Kinect titles don't require users to play their games standing. Instead it turns the game into a sitting-man's pursuit by mapping all the inputs to your hand gestures, letting you take control of the game from your couch.

Toning Down His Party-Animal Act, Boris Yeltsin Looms Larger Than Ever in Russia's Uncertain Future
This time around, Yeltsin, 60, managed to spare both the pavements and his reputation. In fact, on his three-day, two-city U.S. visit, he came across as the soul of sobriety. He met with President Bush twice, in the process impressing White House officials with his command of international issues. Indeed, he was like a man transformed; not only was he togged out in tasteful dark suits, but the raggedy haircut he sported on the first trip had been replaced with a stylish coif. The sudden change in style is no coincidence. As the President-elect of the Russian Republic, Yeltsin is the first freely elected leader in his country's history. And with the Soviet Union sinking deeper into economic chaos, there is growing talk that he could eventually replace Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who banished him from the Politburo in 1987.
Yeltsin's immense popularity back home stems from his image as an earthy Everyman. Born to a poor family in the Siberian village of Butko, young Boris had a joyless childhood, amid drab surroundings. He likes to say that, at his baptism, he was almost drowned by a drunken priest. As a youngster he lost two fingers on his left hand when a World War II grenade detonated while he was playing with it. The injury prevented him from serving in the military, and he graduated from Ural Polytechnic Institute with a degree in civil engineering. He worked his way up through the Communist Party hierarchy, eventually becoming head of construction in Sverdlovsk, the Soviet Union's major iron-and steel-producing region. In that job he caught the attention of party leaders, who appointed him to a post on the Central Committee in 1985.
Since then Yeltsin, who resigned from the Communist Party last year, has made his national reputation by stressing the need for instant capitalism. To drive home his point, when he was named the head of the Moscow Party Committee in 1985, Yeltsin ostentatiously refused the offer of an official dacha—or country estate. That is not to say that Yeltsin is entirely indifferent to the trappings of power. He and his wife, Anastasia, live with one of their two daughters, Lena, in an enormous apartment near Moscow's fashionable Gorky Street. Yeltsin, who draws an annual salary equivalent to $7,900, even has a modest dacha now, built privately with a group of friends.
His crusade has put him on a collision course with Gorbachev. As he takes office, Yeltsin will come under intense pressure to make good on his vision of a new Russia. "All his life, he has gotten power by going against the orthodox," says Jim Garrison, a Soviet American trade organization executive who arranged Yeltsin's first U.S. trip. "Now he's President, and he has to deliver."

• A leading theory hypothesizes that schizophrenia arises from dysregulation of the dopamine system in certain brain regions. As this dysregulation could arise from abnormal expression of D2 dopamine receptors, the D2 receptor gene (DRD2) on chromosome 11q is a candidate locus for schizophrenia. We tested whether allelic variation at DRD2 and five surrounding loci cosegregated with schizophrenia in 112 small- to moderate-size Irish families containing two or more members affected with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, defined by DSM-III-R. Evidence of linkage was assessed using varying definitions of illness and modes of transmission. Assuming genetic homogeneity, linkage between schizophrenia and large regions of 11q around DRD2 could be strongly excluded. Assuming genetic heterogeneity, variation at the DRD2 locus could be rejected as a major risk factor for schizophrenia in more than 50% of these families for all models tested and in as few as 25% of the families for certain models. The DRD2 linkage in fewer than 25% of these families could not be excluded under any of the models tested. Our results suggest that the major component of genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia is not due to allelic variation at the DRD2 locus or other genes in the surrounding chromosomal region.

The Ethics of Aristotle: The Nicomachean Ethicsby Hugh Tredennick J. A. K. Thomson
The system which Aristotle expounds and advocates in the Nicomachean Ethics stands as one of the most celebrated and influential of moral philosophies. Since its construction in the fourth century B.C. it has had a profound and lasting effect: by later philosophers it has been fervently embraced and critically rejected, but never coldly ignored; and in certain crucial respects it has helped to shape and mould the common moral consciousness.
The Last Days of Socratesby Plato Hugh Tredennick
The trial and condemnation of Socrates (469-399 BC) on charges of heresy and corrupting the minds of the young, forms a tragic episode in the history of Athens.

This research focuses on constraining the metamorphic conditions that these rocks experienced by using the a variety of geochemical and petrologic tools. The results of oxygen isotope thermometry in Adirondack quartzites yields metamorphic temperatures 700-800°C, consistent with granulite-facies mineral assemblages. Samples from the Irving Pond quartzite record D(Qtz-Grt)=2.58±0.58‰, corresponding to peak metamorphic conditions of 733±37°C. This agrees well with some new estimates from garnet-biotite exchange thermometry, and similar quartz-garnet temperatures are obtained from three other localities on the periphery of the Adirondack Highlands. All of these temperatures are higher than previous regional temperature estimates. Peak metamorphic temperatures are preserved in rocks with varying quartz:feldspar ratios and garnet sizes. Similar fractionations from all of these slowly-cooled rocks suggest slow rates of oxygen diffusion in quartz, feldspar, and garnet, consistent with the results of anhydrous diffusion experiments and low water fugacities in Adirondack quartzites. These results suggest low water activity in most (if not all) samples of this suite during cooling after metamorphism. These quartzites contain detrital zircon with ubiquitous metamorphic overgrowths. Zircon cores are resorbed, preserve a variety of internal zoning styles and inclusions, and have ages of 1.3 to 2.7 Ga. Metamorphic overgrowths formed in the quartzites during the Shawinigan orogeny (1.20-1.14 Ga). The average volume of overgrowths has a positive correlation between zircon growth and melt productivity during metamorphism. Crystal-size distributions suggest zircon coarsening by the dissolution of small crystals and Zr transfer via a partial melt, and thus zircon overgrowths date anatexis. These results have implications for provenance studies, as dissolution of small zircons could bias age spectra of metasedimentary rocks.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
New data obtained from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that nine out of ten wireless 9-1-1 calls made in D.C. in the first half of 2013 were delivered without the accurate location information needed to find callers who are lost, confused, unconscious or otherwise unable to share their location.
According to data filed with the FCC by the D.C. Office of Unified Communications last fall, just 10.3% of the wireless calls made to the District's 9-1-1 communications center from December 2012 to July 2013 included the latitude-longitude (or "Phase II" location) needed to find a caller. Of the 385,341 wireless calls made over that period, just 39,805 had that "Phase II" information, while the remaining "Phase I" calls only showed the nearest cell tower, an area too broad to be useful for emergency responders.
"These results reveal an alarming public safety crisis," said Jamie Barnett, former Chief of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and Director of the Find Me 911 Coalition. "When nine in ten emergency callers in our nation's capital cannot be located on wireless phones, we know that the requirements for location accuracy must be updated immediately. Thankfully, the FCC has proposed a strong new rule to help find wireless callers in need, both indoors and outdoors, and this should eliminate any doubt about the importance of rapid adoption of that rule."
The location technology currently used by most wireless carriers (called A-GPS) depends on a direct line of sight to satellites, so it often fails in indoor locations or dense urban areas like the District. The FCC recently proposed a new rule (Proceeding 07-114) to address this issue by requiring wireless carriers to provide accurate location data for indoor calls within two years. According to the FCC, the proposed rule could save an estimated 10,000 lives a year through faster response times.
"The nation's capital faces unique security issues, and it's critical that 9-1-1 callers in DC be quickly located in an emergency," continued Barnett. "Unfortunately, the safety of our residents and visitors is being put at risk on an ongoing basis when 9-1-1 cannot identify their locations to send help. This failure to provide location information is a serious danger anywhere, but especially with the added security threats faced by those who visit, live, or work in the nation's capital."
Other data provided by the FCC offered a breakdown by carrier of wireless 9-1-1 calls in DC for a different period of time, from July 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013. That data showed significant variation for accurate "Phase II" information among carriers:
Total Calls
(7/1/13 -9/30/13)
Phase II Calls
Percent of Calls with Accurate Location Info
Many of the nation's leading public safety and public health organizations have submitted comments in support of the proposed FCC rule, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police, National Sheriffs' Association, International Association of Fire Fighters, International Association of Fire Chiefs, National Association of EMS Physicians, National Association of EMTs, National EMS Management Association, American College of Emergency Physicians, National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and National Public Safety Telecommunications Council.
In addition, a survey released in April of 1,014 managers and employees from the call centers that handle 9-1-1 calls found that 99 percent supported the FCC's proposed requirements for indoor location accuracy within two years, and another 99 percent said the adoption of that rule was "critically" or "very" important for public safety in their communities.
"The FCC has put forward an outstanding proposed rule that will save more than 10,000 American lives each year," concluded Barnett. "Public safety leaders should continue to stand firm with their members in support of that rule and not be swayed by carrier rhetoric and empty promises of some future solution."
The Find Me 911 Coalition submitted its FOIA request to the FCC on May 15, 2014. The materials obtained from the FCC through the FOIA request can be found at http://www.findme911.org/news/find-me-911-receives-washington-d-c-wireless-9-1-1-data-through-foia/.
About the Find Me 911 Coalition
Find Me 911 is an effort supported by more than 195,000 individuals, as well as national and local organizations. The individuals and organizations represent a broad range of 911 operators and first responders – emergency medical services personnel, fire fighters and police. Find Me 911 seeks to ensure that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) move forward quickly to establish a reasonable, measurable level of location accuracy for emergency calls made indoors, enabling first responders to locate emergency calls from wireless phones from all locations rapidly and efficiently.
