Organ donation: The gift of life
A little over three weeks after being placed on the national waiting list for a double-lung transplant, Roger Weaver and his family made three trips from the Valley to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Presbyterian location in Oakland, Pa.
Each time, they went in the hope that a set of lungs would be available for the 61-year-old Marietta resident, whose lung capacity had been reduced to 12 percent by a combination of emphysema, asthma, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and more that he attributes in part to years of smoking and breathing hazardous materials at work. Each time, they came home without the surgery being performed.
The first time, Weaver was the backup patient, and the lungs were transplanted to a woman he said was much worse off than him.
"It just wasn't meant to be," he recalled Monday, "after the shock wore off."
Another time, the deceased individual's lungs had been too damaged by injuries.
But on April 19, 2012, the day after Weaver, his wife Dorane and sister, Sue Dunn, returned from another fruitless trip, the call came again, as Weaver sat in his pulmonary doctor's office.
"I just had a good feeling about it this time," Weaver said.
They arrived at UPMC-Presbyterian and once again had to wait. But eventually, the medical team came into the room and moments later, Weaver was on his way to surgery.
"I had five minutes to say my goodbyes," said Dorane Weaver, 51, before correcting herself, "Not goodbyes. I had five minutes to say my 'see-you-laters.'"
Because Weaver was the only person on the transplant list with his blood type, doctors had told him his transplant was imminent. Other individuals are on the list much longer, with an estimated 18 people a day dying while waiting for a transplant.
The need of patients like Weaver and others is why organizations like Lifeline of Ohio mark April as National Donate Life Month, working to raise awareness of the need and dispel myths and misconceptions about organ donation. Marietta Memorial and Selby General Hospital held events this month where people could learn about organ donations.
Memorial Health System director of marketing and public relations Jennifer Offenberger said that while a total of 13 people signed up as organ donors, that wasn't the primary focus of the events.
"It was also more about education and sharing information so they could … make a decision when the time's right for them," she said.
Memorial works with Lifeline of Ohio, a nonprofit organization that promotes and coordinates organ and tissue donation in 37 Ohio counties, as well as Wood and Hancock counties in West Virginia.
The heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas and small bowel from a single donor could potentially be transplanted into eight different recipients, according to Kaitlyn Thompson, media relations and community outreach coordinator for Lifeline of Ohio. Tissue such as corneas, bone, fascia, skin, veins and heart valves can also benefit as many as 50 people.
About 20 years ago, Teresa Adams was a nurse at Marietta Memorial Hospital and witnessed the first cornea transplant performed here.
"It was just amazing to me that there was this sudden, tragic event and now this person on our table was going to be able to see better," she said.
Today, Adams is director of specialty care at Camden-Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg, overseeing critical care areas in the hospital and often talking with family members about donating the organs of their loved ones. At times, she, physicians or Lifeline representatives have to explain away some misconceptions about the process.
"A lot of people think that they're not a good candidate because they have an extensive health history," Adams said.
Only being HIV positive or having active cancer would completely rule a person out as an organ or tissue donor, Thompson said. But even then, she said, they should still register, because legislation in Congress could change requirements and someone might be cancer-free by the time they pass away.
People with diabetes and cancer survivors without active cancer can still donate.
Some people may worry that if they or a loved one are an organ donor, medical personnel won't work as hard to keep them alive. But Adams said the No. 1 priority at all times is caring for the patient.
"We don't even talk about or consider organ donation until … we find out they are brain dead," she said.
At that point, if organ donation is desired, Lifeline is notified and they review the patient's medical history to see whether they are a candidate for donation. Only the organs and tissues specified by a donor in the Ohio Donor Registry will be taken, according to Lifeline.
A person may be kept breathing and their heart beating by artificial means, while preparation is made to remove the organs and/or tissue. That can take up to 24 hours, but that will not add on to the family's expenses, Adams said.
"Those expenses are taken care of by Lifeline of Ohio," she said.
Once the process is explained, many families are supportive of organ donation, Adams said. But sometimes families will resist, even if their loved one was registered as a donor. That's why it is so important for individuals to let their families know in advance if they want to be organ donors.
"That's (death) not the time for the family to be sort of blindsided by this request," Adams said.
Weaver and a number of his family members were already registered as organ donors before his experience. But afterward, Dorane Weaver has become more of an advocate.
"I'm pushing everybody I know now," she said.
In some cases, recipients meet the families of donors. Weaver wrote to the family of the middle-aged man whose lungs he received, but never heard back from them. He said he simply wanted to express his thanks.
The transplant surgery didn't mark the end of Roger Weaver's journey. His heart stopped the day after, and complications kept him in the intensive care unit for six weeks. After that, he spent four or five weeks in the hospital's transplant unit.
After 10 days at HealthSouth Western Hills Regional Rehabilitation Hospital in Vienna, W.Va., Weaver was back at UPMC-Presbyterian for another three weeks. Although he's spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals over the last year, Weaver says he feels a lot better.
"It's nice to be able to breathe," he said.
His last lung function test showed a 73 percent capacity.
"From 12 percent to 73 percent, that's remarkable," Weaver said.
The family is still dealing with the financial impact of the transplant and subsequent care. Although insurance covered almost all of the direct medical expenses, the Weavers still had to spend plenty on gas, food and accommodations when they returned to Pennsylvania for additional treatment.
The Roger Weaver Fund has been established at Advantage Bank to help offset these costs. Dunn noted none of the money goes to family members who went up to visit.
A fundraiser is planned for Saturday at the county fairgrounds' Junior Fair Building, with a craft show, silent auction and country store at 9 a.m. and spaghetti dinner from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by a gospel sing.
They have also held a number of fundraisers, including craft shows, spaghetti suppers and auctions, and received more than $700 when Smitty's Pizza donated a portion of its proceeds on two different days.
"Words just can't describe it," Weaver said. "It's been a greater success than what I thought it would be."

Arild Andersen / Paolo Vinaccia / Tommy Smith: Mira
Andersen has proven, over a career now spanning six decades, to be a bassist with a muscular tone and broad stylistic reach: from the freer terrain of Tryptikon (ECM, 1973), with Garbarek and Finnish drummer Edward Vesala; through his fusion of jazz modality and the Norwegian folk tradition on Sagn (ECM, 1993); to the remarkably focused, spontaneous compositions of Karta (ECM, 2000), a trio date with German trumpeter Markus Stockhausen and French percussionist Patrice Héral augmented, for this session, by Andersen's partner in ECM's original Nordic "Big Five," guitarist Terje Rypdal. Still, few could have expected the absolute heat that permeated Live at Belleville, an early document of a trio that, six years later, has further evolved both its language and chemistry with Mira.
Contrasting the greater energy of Live at Belleville, the studio- born Mira may find Andersen, Smith and Vinaccia in a generally more pensive mood, but that doesn't mean there aren't moments where the trio simmers with collective heat. Andersen's "Rossetti" may begin in near-pastoral terrain, but over its relatively brief five minutes, the traditional-tinged themedoubled by Andersen and Smith, with the saxophonist demonstrating particularly fine altissimo controlopens up into a horn solo of unfettered freedom, occasional piercing screams and fiery phrases of grit and grease. Saxophone trios are a risky proposition; with no chordal instrument to provide a harmonic context, the very freedom that represents can, in the wrong hands, become a liability. Not so here, as Andersen accompanies Smith with a firm hand, implying harmonic verticality even as he locks, tongue-in-groove, with the ever- unpredictable but always dependable Vinaccia before heading into his own solo, combining an unparalleled robust tone with unmistakably lyrical precepts.
The trio even gets loosely funky with Andersen's "Blussy." Opening with Vinaccia a cappella solo, the bassist soon enters with a visceral line that manages to blend gospel-tinged concerns with more oblique sophistication, challenging Smith to weave his solo through a more complex harmonic foundation, which he does with fiery aplomb, before Andersen takes over, all groove and chicken-necking attitude. Elsewhere, in this set of primarily Andersen compositions, positioned between Smith's meditative shakuhachi solo, "Kangiten" and "Raijin"an improvised duo where Vinaccia's tribal pulse and some brief chordal washes support further shakuhachi ruminationsthe bassist's rubato tone poem, "Le Saleya," finds Andersen and Smith traveling in separate orbits that often intersect but occasionally diverge into soft harmonies.
The intro to Andersen's title track revolves around a looped bass pattern, over which Andersen layers a dark melody steeped in centuries-old tradition, the piece coalescing further when Smith entersmoving effortlessly from low register to soft altissimobolstered by Vinaccia's textural leanings; but it's Andersen's resonant, singing tone and melodic ideation that defines this, Mira's most beautiful track.
A long overdue and equally impressive follow-upalbeit for different reasonsMira presents this trio in a different light to its 2008 debut; still, it's no surprise that Andersen, Vinaccia and Smith prove as capable of darker intents as they do more energetic exchanges. Studio recordings inherently present alternative perspectives, and with Mira, the possibilities both delivered and alluded to on Live at Belleville now possess an evolved simpatico, greater attention to space and more expansive, expressive vernacular that, despite allowing so much time to pass since the trio's last recording, is the direct result of its working regularly in the six years between them.
Track Listing: Bygone; Blussy; Alfie; Rossetti; Reparate; Raijin; Le Saleya; Kangiten; Mira; Eight and More; Stevtone.
Personnel: Arild Andersen: double bass, electronics; Paolo Vinaccia: drums; Tommy Smith: tenor saxophone, shakuhachi flute.

5 Questions With 'The Voice' Mentor Jewel
As The Voice continues its third week of battle rounds tonight, Team Christina's hopeful artists will be taking more pointers from Jewel. The Grammy-nominated singer recently stopped by to chat about her experience on the show.
It's not Jewel's first brush with reality TV: in 2007, she was a guest judge on American Idol as well as the host of Nashville Star. The next year, she became one of the judges on Nashville Star. And last year, she was both judge and co-host of Bravo's songwriting competition Platinum Hit.
Here's what Jewel had to say about joining Christina Aguilera's team for this season of The Voice.
What persuaded you to get involved with The Voice?
I love The Voice for several reasons. One is the blind auditions. The coaches get to just really feel the voice and see if it moves them.
It's current working musicians. It's not just a couple of executives saying you don't look the part.
And they don't just give vague advice. They go back with them and talk and show them step by step all those things that are important.
What would you say is the most important thing to you, as far as mentoring these artists?
These people are so talented, and one of the biggest things you can do for them is help them believe it.
Is there something that's been particularly fun for you in the mentoring process?
The most fun is the diversity of talent. The show isn't looking for the most technically skilled voice. It's looking for what moves you.
As a fan, are there artists on the show that you enjoy listening to?
There's several, and they're so different. I think Christina has a really good team together, I think Blake Shelton has a real good team together.
On our team, there's people I really love. There's a girl named Sera [Hill] who's an R&B singer.
Do you think that you would have competed on The Voice? If so, whose team would you be on?
I might've. I wasn't really pursuing music when I was discovered. I'm not sure it would have dawned on me that I was good enough. But if I was to go on one show, it would have been this one.
If I had to pick, I would've really wanted to interview the coaches. I would've really asked them what they like about me. I'd probably go with Blake Shelton because I think he cares about authenticity and storytelling, which are things that are important to me.
My thanks to Jewel for taking the time for this interview! You can check out her most recent album of children's songs, The Merry Goes Round, and follow her on Twitter at @jeweljk. The Voice airs its third night of battle rounds tonight at 8 PM ET/PT on NBC.

Time for a lesson in the casual side of menswear: Graphic t-shirts!
INFEASIBLE: Nintendo decal/reference t-shirts
Sorry wannabe graphic tee "aficionados", nerdy fashion ain't fashion at all. Get the hell out of that racket, Old Glory.
Feasible: Well-designed decal t-shirts
T-shirts that show some artistic merit, however, are far from nerdy and go very well under an unbuttoned or semi-buttoned dress shirt. Enclothe has a lot of quality/morbid shit on their t-shirts, e.g. above, and it's also run by a goon – definitely check it out.

Organizers: Geneviève Godbout, University of Chicago and Rebecca Graff, University of Chicago
Saturday, May 7th
9:30 – 12:00
Robert Sproul Room
Genealogies, fictions and myths, tropes, folk knowledge, institutional ancestors, cultural imaginaries… all influence what archaeologists deem interesting questions about the past, and what epistemologies and knowledge-making practices they bring to their work. This session proposes to investigate the intellectual and affective processes that inform contemporary archaeological standpoints. Narratives and genealogies help trace the material and ideal accumulation of events, peoples and ideas that contribute to creating, simultaneously, the Contemporary and the Past. This simultaneity is at the heart of narration and genealogies as genres, themselves encapsulating, in many ways, the archaeological conundrum. By exploring the multiple meanings of the notion of "the contemporary", we propose to engage how the past is configured into culturally and historically situated narratives; how bias and romanticism shape our research; and what intellectual baggage we carry as scholars in and of the contemporary world.
Papers Accepted:
Embodied Subjectivities: Situating Gender in Contemporary Practice
Dana Bardolph, University of California, Santa Barbara, email@example.com
Researchers have long recognized our gendered selves as deeply embedded in the construction of archaeological narratives. Considering the fluid, dynamic nature of our discipline—and its practitioners—this topic is worthy of reevaluation. Who encompasses the extant archaeologist over a decade into the 21st century? In this paper, I examine the contemporary, gendered, archaeological practitioner, with respect to how his/her data are collected, presented, and disseminated. Through a consideration of recent data related to publication, professional representation, as well biographies of individuals, I seek further understanding of the sociopolitics of archaeology and of gender biases shaping our practice in the contemporary world.
Shovelmoms and Shovelbums: Everyday Significance of Contemporary Practice in Japanese and American Cultural Resource Management (CRM)
Sarah Kautz, University of Chicago, firstname.lastname@example.com
Public participation in American CRM projects is limited by minimum professional qualifications stipulated in Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Private-sector concerns over liability, etc., may also limit public archaeology, with CRM projects being contracted to firms and consultants. In Japan, however, public participation in CRM is prevalent and people with little or no formal qualifications find employment with public-sector CRM projects where they are trained by professional archaeologists who work alongside them. This paper highlights how contemporary practice in American and Japanese CRM reflects very different notions of "public archaeology". Because CRM is a public practice in Japan, popular significance of archaeology is perpetuated in the daily work of doing research rather than through institutionalized outreach. Drawing from my experience at a private American CRM firm in addition to fieldwork and interviews I conducted in 2009 at a public-sector CRM project in Japan, I propose that the Japanese model of public-sector CRM promotes the significance of archaeology as a daily practice of custodianship rather than an institutional relationship between contemporary archaeologists and the public.
(Re)Imagining the French Colonial Americas
Christopher Grant, University of Chicago, firstname.lastname@example.com
Since the nineteenth-century, French expansion in the Americas has been subject to romanticization and exoticization. The result has been a vision of the French colonial past that often lacks dynamism and fails to escape nationalist metanarratives. This paper will examine how archaeologists have challenged these limited interpretations of French colonialism. By examining the diverse interpretations of "Frenchness" in contemporary visions of the past —as observed in myth and material practice —I suggest that archaeologists might benefit from a host of dynamic historical positions that open up possibilities for a new and more expansive understanding of French colonial history.
Novels and the Archaeology of Manners in the British Caribbean, 1750-1900.
Geneviève Godbout, University of Chicago, email@example.com
Our contemporary imaginary of everyday life in British colonial society is influenced by historic works of fiction, such as Jane Austen's or Thackeray's ever-popular novels of manners. This paper addresses the utility of eighteenth and nineteenth century works of fiction to the archaeology of plantation foodways in the British Caribbean during the same period. I propose to reflect on the status of the realist novel as historical evidence, as well as to assess how works of fiction influence the kinds of questions about British lifeways that archaeologists deem interesting and relevant in the Caribbean context.
Origins Narratives Past and Present: A View from Kent's Cavern
David Clinnick, Durham University, email@example.com
The controversy over the geological chronology of human skeletal and cultural material during MacEnery's 1825 to 1829 excavations of Kent's Cavern presents an integral moment in the development of the contemporary concept of human evolution (White and Pettitt 2009, 759). Utilizing habitus (Bourdieu 2003; 2000; Pizanias 2000; Jacobsson 2009) as a reflexive tool to critique this 19th century debate as well as current models of Anatomically Modern Human origins elucidates an inherent tendency to normalize scientific inferences about human antiquity through alignment with preexisting dominant narratives. Simply, origins narratives gain greater credence by their proximity to discourses of the present.
The Essence of Matter: Towards a Genealogy of the Concept of Assemblages
Mudit Trivedi, University of Chicago, firstname.lastname@example.com
This paper asks a few basic questions of the archaeological concept of assemblages. It attempts a genealogical examination of the term in the hope of coming to a better understanding of its use and enregisterment in the early archaeological lexicon. It argues subsequently that notions of assemblages are perhaps best understood at two levels; firstly, as intuitions, as 'things being in order'. It is only secondly that assemblages are named, discussed and reified. Treating assemblages in this pragmatic sense I finally hope to consider the contemporary itself as an assemblage, both as intuition and reflexive statement, practice and sensibility.

Cyclists need to be aware of the driver's blind spot when passing lorries and buses
Many people are getting back on their bikes or taking up cycling as the most convenient (and cheapest) way to get around – particularly in London where the cycle hire scheme has encouraged more to get on their bikes.
Transport for London (TfL) – the body responsible for all transport in the capital including the Barclays Cycle hire scheme wants to ensure that all cyclists are aware of the the following key tips for safer and confident cycling.
Though from TfL and aimed at London cyclists the advice applies equally to cyclists in towns and cities across the country.
Keep up to date with your knowledge of the Highway Code and follow its advice.
London's cycle hire scheme
Cyclists have the same rights on the road and as a driver you should remember that you are sharing the road with cyclists.
Cyclists are more vulnerable than car users – take particular care near cyclists and give them plenty of room at all times.
Keep up to date with your knowledge of the Highway Code and follow its advice.
(Highway code 178)
Advanced stop lines
Some signal-controlled junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be positioned ahead of other traffic.
Motorists, including motorcyclists, MUST stop at the first white line reached if the lights are amber or red and should avoid blocking the way or encroaching on the marked area at other times, e.g. if the junction ahead is blocked.
If your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you MUST stop at the second white line, even if your vehicle is in the marked area.
Allow cyclists time and space to move off when the green signal shows.
(21 September 2012)
Please take a minute to sign the petition urging the Prime Minister to pledge that the Government will implement the recommendations in the 'Get Britain Cycling' parliamentary report.
"There has been an explosion of interest in cycling, and we must do all we can to continue to fuel it". Edmund King, AA president
The AA broadly supports The Times Cities fit for cycling campaign.

Change is a constant in the NFL.
So along with new coaches and new players, come changes for NFL teams.
Multiple teams are altering how they go about their business on the field this offseason. Some are hoping they can just fix problems, while others will try take better advantage of the talent on their roster.
Really, every team is making at least small adjustments, and no team is really staying pat.
But it's the big changes we're talking about here, the teams that are altering their scheme in a wholesale way.
Let's take a look at some of the bigger schematic changes in the NFL this offseason.

Want to see a house assembled before your eyes? Check out the above video featuring the installation of a NomadHome.
If you want more detailed information, you're either out of luck or in for a chuckle. If you believe the verbiage on the official NomadHome site (which is clumsily — and often hilariously — translated from what appears to be German), the NomadHome is "a home for the people of today", designed to provide flexibility in today's ever-evolving world, especially for those they call the "fleeing fledglings" and "part time settled mobile homers". Which I guess means this isn't the home for me. After all, I'm an accomplished fleer and I like my mobile homer settled full time. Video after the jump.
Seeing a need for adaptability and change, inventor Gerold Peham turned a "mobile foundation into a pan-Europe unique living concept". Comprised of 11 m2 modules that can be extended, exchanged or modified at the owner's whim, the NomadHome is chock full of ecological building materials and concepts and can be installed "on a building plot from as little as 200-300 m2, maybe not even bought but rented or leased." (Apparently the NomadHome is unavailable to squatters or those with borrowed land.)
Ranging in size from 44 m2 to 88m2m and featuring an "unlimited overall concept", this Austrian gem of a design will almost make you feel like you're living in a mobile Wexler – albeit a much more streamlined version. Intended for "innovative nomads" and "campus art student villages as well as for spirit of the age occupiers and innovative allotment gardens", the NomadHome seems to possess high quality standards: "Because of the conscious choice of materials we try to avoid the maintenance and renovation costs for decades. An exception is mechanical damage." Not sure about that last sentence, but I think it means they stand by their product unless a crazy mechanic causes damage by driving a large truck into it.
What about energy? "Thinking about the future energy resources, we are especially convinced that the best solution ecologically is electricity for the heating and cooling of the NOMADHOME in order to remain independent of fuels such as oil, gas, pellets, etc. Also electricity is available without complications, nearly everywhere and through ones own production."
Best of all, the NomadHome can be assembled or disassembled in a matter of days, which is a "simple, uncomplicated and solid project which won't incur extra costs and work for decades."
What more could you want? Especially if you're one "who looks into the subject of new trends and gives himself the chance, easily and at anytime to react to the social and economic development." That sounds like me to a T. At least I think it does.
For more delicious information, check out their site, which I'm sure allows freedom and stability for those within the wide ranging boundaries of those who feel the freedom to be free. Or something like that.
The NomadHome. Great design. Bad translation.

Well, the original function is certainly well-defined, so if you can come up with another expression of this form which works it has to actually be the same function, so does not introduce any more solutions to whatever the problem is.
In fact the expression is not unique. For example you could put alpha equal to -1/100t+k
where k is any real constant. Then you just need to multiply c by e^-k. But clearly this makes no difference to the value, so the sensible choice is to put k=0.
But apart from that your reasoning is fine. For example the sin(12t) term forces the function to 0 at intervals of pi/12, to the beta term has to be 12t+ something otherwise you'd get zeros in the wrong places. And since the function is 0 at t=0 that forces the factor of pi/2. But now you get a second chance to do things differently. By adding another constant factor of pi you don't change the magnitude of the sin term, but you do change the sign, so then you'd have to change the sign of the c term as well. And you can add any multiple of 2*pi to beta without changing anything at all.
So the only thing that really matters is that you can show that your rewritten function is actually the same function as your original one everywhere, and your reasoning would certainly prove that.

ABB chargers have also passed the individual vehicle verification testing with Japanese and European car manufacturers, including backward compatibility testing with CHAdeMO 0.9 vehicles. ABB's chargers are immediately designed according to the MOCCA (Multi Outlet Charger Configuration Agreement) specification for seamless and safe integration of multiple standards for fast charging into one single fast charger. This ensures safety, technical architecture, functionality and usability when combining multiple outlets into one fast charger.
Wil van Gils (VP R&D of ABB EV Charging Infrastructure) said, "ABB has chosen to avoid rushing products to market and rather focus on pushing appropriate certification to ensure the necessary quality, reliability and safety for a professional EV charging network. We are very proud to be the first with Chademo1.0 certification outside Japan and to be the first to have passed all relevant compliance verifications with European and Japanese cars. Specifically on MOCCA he adds: ''We have given full support to Idiada to co-develop the MOCCA specification as we are convinced that this is a key element for a successful rollout of public fastcharging infrastructure''.
Following certification, ABB has released the Terra 23/53 multioutlet chargers for manufacturing and shipping. The first products have been installed and commissioned in the last week of March and can be integrated without effort in the existing ABB cloud network services to meet5 product-quality, operational-uptime, serviceablity and user-experience.

The question asks me to find the solution to in polar form.
I got
Which is correct, but there 2 other answers but I can't seem to get it which are
There's also another question I don't understand:
"How many degrees apart are two consecutive roots of "
The point is that adding to the argument of a complex number just goes around the "circle" exactly once so that you are back to exactly the same place and same complex number:
But when you divide the argument by 3 to find cube root, that changes:
Notice, however, that continuing to , , etc. does NOT give us anything new:
so we get exactly 3 distinct third roots.
Show should be able to see that adding any number of multiples of to the argument will always give exactly n distinct nth roots of a complex number.

2012 Cape Town International Jazz Festival
Jazz and plenty of pop at this sold-out South African fest
The 13th annual Cape Town International Jazz Festival was many things: a musically mixed bag, a challenging social setting, and a cause for both celebration and chagrin. The March 30-31 event at the International Convention Centre in this tourist-friendly and stylish metropolis drew a sold-out crowd of 34,000. It featured more than 40 acts spanning the easy reggae of Third World, the soaring Afro-pop of Zamajobe, smooth jazz icon Dave Koz along with the versatile singer Patti Austin, Afro-folk smash Zahara and the knotty, roiling jazz of South Africa's Andre Petersen. Late night was the domain of hip-hop, from Pharoahe Monch to HHP to ILL-Literate-Skill. Call this gathering eclectic rather than strictly African, or strictly jazz, though the bookings did boast a good amount of certified jazz stars, including Donald Harrison, Ron Carter and Lenny White; Mike Stern and Dave Weckl; and David Sánchez and Lionel Loueke.
This boisterous and occasionally frustrating "lifestyle festival" saved some of its biggest acts for the end: national hero Hugh Masekela leading a full-bodied tribute to Miriam "Mama Africa" Makeba, followed in the wee hours of April 1 by Lauryn Hill. (Hill, who's been largely off the circuit for the past 10 years, was a last-minute substitution for singer Jill Scott.) The Masekela and Hill shows raised the 2,500-capacity Kippies venue to the claustrophobic level.
Besides Masekela and Hill, the best-attended shows were those of Zahara, bassist Marcus Miller in a Miles Davis program, veteran South African vocalist Dorothy Masuka, pop-soul singer James Ingram, Monch, Nouvelle Vague and Third World.
A few mini-reviews are in order, starting with Zamajobe, a nine-piece band fronted by the earthy singer Zamajobe Sithole. Despite fuzzy, booming sound, the group felt and looked sumptuous, sparked by punchy basslines and smooth backing vocals. Her pink dress set Sithole apart, accenting the visual appeal of the act. Like Masekela's, it was arena-friendly, making Kippies feel like a real community.
Adam Glasser's was one of the cleanest shows of the first night. A composer, keyboardist and harmonica player, Glasser is intense. His set featured the warm vocalist Pinise Saul, not enough of his harmonica but a welcome helping of his commanding keyboards, and the raggedly graceful guitar of Bheki Khoza. Guesting was the ebullient guitarist-singer-composer Mfiliseni Magubane, a riveting presence who engaged in duet with an amused Saul to provide salty, humorous theater. The audience reacted enthusiastically to the expressions: The words needed no translation for those unfamiliar with Zulu or Xhosa, and the stagecraft was engaging. Glasser's tunes were driving, danceable and joyful, and he said his second album, Mzansi, is due out on Sunnyside in June.
Similarly authentic the following night was the Andre Petersen Quintet featuring composer-pianist Petersen, vocal accents by his wife Chantal Willie (who has worked with Zap Mama), the muscular saxophone of Marcus Strickland and the taut bass of Reggie Washington. The Petersen set stressed the leader's brooding piano, Strickland's urgent saxophone, a political bent in Petersen's "Warped Perceptions" (with taped vocal obbligato), and great dynamic range in his "Time Watchers." Also key: the drumming of Dre Pallemaerts, a loose-wristed, effortlessly swinging colorist who often outshone Petersen himself. The set's highlight was a stirring take on Bud Powell's Monkish "Hallucinations," delivered acoustically due to a temporary power outage. Strickland pumped up the volume here, his improvisation a model of determination and grace.
The grandest moment of the last night belonged to Masekela, the 73-year-old firebrand who put South Africa on the jazz map with his hit rendition of "Grazin' in the Grass" in 1968. His "Tribute to Mama Afrika" gleamed from the jump, his golden trumpet penetrating, his vocals raspy and impassioned. Aiding him in this effort were Vusi Mahlasela, Thandiswa Mazwai and Zolani Mahola, among South Africa's most popular vocalists. Masekela, who, at a press event earlier in the day, blasted South Africa for not memorializing Makeba adequately, led the crowd in dance, horn and song. The man has the power.
One of the high points of the fest's pop program was Allen Stone, who drew an audience to the outside venue called Manenberg. Fronting a six-piece band, the singer-songwriter unleashed tunes from his second album, Allen Stone, spanning the pop-reggae of "Celebrate Tonight," the slinky soul of "Contact High" and the itchy funk of "Sleep." What makes Stone a walking oxymoron is his affect: slightly stiff and awkward, he moves and looks like a folk-grunge geek but sings like a blend of Al Green and Rod Stewart. His band cuts like a knife, particularly guitarist Trevor Larkin and drummer Jason Holt. Stone may seem a strange choice for a jazz festival, but there was no denying his oddball magnetism.
The convention center could have used better signage, guards didn't help people get from one far-flung place to the next, and security between the center and a hotel across the street was so heavy it took 10 minutes to get from one to the other—where it should have taken two. Despite such snafus, this festival was an ambitious, wide-ranging monster, effectively blending established draws with adventurous up-and-comers and hard-core jazz with compatible pop styles. As drummer Lenny White said in a festival press conference, "A G in jazz is the same as in rock."

If you're having a bad day at work today, just remember it's probably not as bad as being a replacement official. After watching how they messed up the Monday night game, you can only imagine the pressure on the crew officiating Thursday night's game between the Browns and Ravens. Thankfully, we never screw up the wake-up call ...
BENGALS: The supporting cast around wide receiver A.J. Green has turned out to be stronger than expected. This is the first time the Bengals have had four receivers with 50-plus yards in consecutive games within one season, according to Elias Sports Bureau. "They're deep and reliable, which is what I like about them. They all can do a lot of different things and come together," offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It's good to get everyone involved and that's the nature of this offense. You have four possible targets on every play. If everyone on their routes does what they're supposed to, the coverage will dictate that (who to throw to)."
BROWNS: In the first three games, Brandon Weeden is 0-for-9 with three interceptions on deep throws down the right sideline, according to The Plain Dealer. The rookie quarterback has continually missed his targets there, whether it's over or underthrowing them. "When you get opportunities to throw the ball down field you have to hit on them," coach Pat Shurmur said. "It's a combination of things between the quarterback and the receivers. I would say it's safe to say we are taking more of those shots this year than we did last year. Now, we have to hit on them. You only get couple of them a game, the ones you get you got to hit on."
RAVENS: Head coach John Harbaugh is among the coaches being reviewed by the league after an incident with a replacement referee, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Harbaugh acknowledged that he bumped into an official while attempting to call a timeout in the fourth quarter Sunday night. "I really can't touch on it," Harbaugh said after Monday's walkthrough. "I think there [are] a lot of good officials in these crews. It's just going to be hard for those guys to all be on the same page with the history of the National Football League and all that in a few weeks, but there [are] a lot of very talented officials that do a great job and they're really great communicators and everything. I think there's a lot of talent there, but the task is tough and they are working real hard at it."
STEELERS: Pittsburgh will use the bye week to fix the problems that has led to a 1-2 start. One area of concern is the Steelers' play after halftime. In two losses, Pittsburgh has been outscored 44-23 in the second half, including 13-0 in the fourth quarter in Oakland. "We've got to close out," Mike Wallace told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "If we want to be a playoff, Super Bowl-caliber team, we've got to be able to close out games."

To rotate or not to rotate? That is the question when considering how best to rid your horse of parasites via deworming. When it comes to horse ownership, creating an effective parasite control program is critical. Just as you don't take your horse's nutrition or vaccination program lightly, you should place special emphasis on your deworming methods.
Internal parasites can be silent killers in our horses. These worms and parasites can infect our horses and cause extensive internal damage without our knowledge. The effects of parasites can range from dull hair coat to colic to diarrhea and even death.
There are over 150 species of parasites that can infect horses. However, in the United States we are most concerned with controlling four of these parasites. The not so fab four are:
The most common way to control parasites is through a chemical deworming program. We first started interval deworming back in the 1960s to control large strongyles. Fast forward 50 years later and a plethora of research has been conducted on products to control parasites. Now that we know which products most effectively control parasites the new question is, "Do we need to rotate these products or always administer the same product?" This debate has arisen as we try to control drug resistance in horses.
Many horse owners rely on a rotational deworming program to effectively control parasites. As the seasons change, so does the class of dewormers they treat their horses with. The theory behind rotational deworming is that by switching up the class of dewormers, not only do we combine the benefits of all classes, but we manage resistance to a particular class of dewormer. Tony Brubaker from Pfizer says, "It's important to rotate between the three major dewormer classes and use them at appropriate intervals based what you last used, what time of year it is and how susceptible your horse is to parasites."
Those who support rotating horse dewormers know there are detractors to this method. A study by Texas Tech and Pfizer debunks the resistance argument. The researchers created Safe-guard® (fenbendazole) resistance in a herd of quarter horses. Through a rotational deworming program every two months, alternating ivermectin, fenbendazole, moxidectin and pyrantel pamoate, Safe-guard® resistance was broken.
New studies show dewormer rotation may not only be unnecessary, but may also be harmful. Depending on your horse's needs deworming, on a rotational basis, every few months may be excessive and can help parasites breed that are resistant to certain dewormer classes. In a rotating program there could be masked resistance to a given class of dewormer. However, since the other dewormers in the rotation could be working properly you are not aware of this masked resistance.
By rotating dewormers there is also the possibility you could be reducing refugia in your horse. Refugia are parasites left untreated that lack resistance genes. Therefore, when a dewormer is required the refugia will be susceptible to treatment. Rather than having the calendar tell us when we should deworm our horses and with what drug class to use, we need to rely on what our horse tells us through fecal egg count.
The best way to determine your horse's deworming needs is through performing a fecal egg count on a sample of your horse's manure. This test will identify which parasites are present in your horse and whether your horse is a high, medium and low shedder. The results will help you and your veterinarian determine an appropriate deworming schedule for each horse. If you are concerned about dewormer resistance, you can also have a fecal sample analyzed 10-14 days after the dewormer was used to identify any resistance issues. Regardless of whether you rotate or not, fecal egg counts are another tool in your arsenal of developing the best parasite prevention program for your horse.
As we have learned there is no cut and dry method for parasite management in horses. Just as you wouldn't walk down the barn aisle and give each horse the same amount of feed, you need to individualize your parasite management program. However there are some parasite management techniques we can all agree on. Proper pasture management is the first line of defense when it comes to fighting parasites. Therefore we should:
Work with your local veterinarian to determine the best approach for your horses. He or she will be able to evaluate your current deworming program and let you know what will work best for the horses you care for. By creating a comprehensive management program you can reduce the risk of parasite infection in your horse.

Labour MP Shane Jones has indicated he is weighing up his future in politics if he does not get strong endorsement from Maori voters in November's general election.
Mr Jones said on Te Kaea on Maori Television he wanted to win the Tamaki Makaurau seat – currently held by Maori Party leader Pita Sharples – and if he did not he would "reconsider my options".
Asked to clarify his comments by the Herald yesterday, he said winning the seat would give him a strong platform for "future developments" in his political career.
"If that doesn't come to pass, a whole bunch of other factors have to be weighed up. If I don't win the seat, then I'll assess what happens – whether or not I stay on and look to play a more meaningful role in politics, or whatever."
This is about what happened in the Te Tai Tokurau by-election. The main problem with Kelvin Davis' campaign was that he was already in Parliament, so voters could cast their vote for Hone Harawira and they'd still have Davis, but if they voted for Davis they lost Harawira.
So Jones is sending a signal that even though he's a list MP, if the voters of Tamaki Makaurau don't support him as an electorate MP they won't get the same 'two for the price of one' reward for voting strategically. Although . . . they probably will because the only reason you issue a threat this deliberately vague is so you can go back on it after the election.

Hello, worldspawn!
The points are on the line: .
So given an -value, say, , then: .
Therefore, the point is: .
I'm trudging through 5-6 years worth of forgotten math lessons and can't remember how to do this. I have a right triangle, the two sides both are equal to 30 so the angles are a clean 45 degrees a piece. I need to know how to determine the x,y coords of a random point on the hypotenuse. I have a diagram but forgive it's crudeness, it's just an example:
Those red dots are what I need to figure out. Ignore their position, since it's just an example. If I pointed to a random spot on that line, what math do I need to figure out the coords?

Color Theory
What's in a name? For Farrow & Ball, the answers are unexpected
It's easy to get lost in Farrow & Ball's catalog of colors. The historied British company and decorator favorite has built a reputation on its tightly edited palette of moody hues and richly pigmented tones. As memorable as the colors themselves are the unconventional names that accompany them. We asked Farrow & Ball's creative director, Sarah Cole what really is in a name. Here's what she had to say:
"Our individual color names are just as much a part of the color as the colors themselves, as a result the naming process is both timely and meticulous. A small team at Farrow & Ball work to develop new paint colors and their names and stories. In 2013 we introduced nine new colors.
"Generally our color names are inspired by nature and our Dorset surroundings, found in historic houses or named after friends. Mizzle, a hazy green-gray tone, is named after the West Country term for the mixture of mist and drizzle. Similarly, new color Purbeck Stone is named after the soft gray color of the stone found on the Isle of Purbeck where we are based.
"Other color names are rooted in history, and give a nod to the name of the place where they were found. New color St Giles Blue is named after a color we found in the hallway at seventeenth century St. Giles House. Many of our original colors were also named in this way."
1. Arsenic
This green verdigris was first used as a wallpaper ground color on the company's Napoleonic Bee wallpaper. Named accordingly, Arsenic takes its name from contemporary speculation that Napoleon himself had been accidently poisoned by the arsenic used to make the green pigment for the wallpaper in his bathroom in St. Helena.
2. Blackened
Historically made with the addition of 'lamp black', a pigment made by collecting the residue from burnt lamp oil, this white has just a slight hint of gray and is suited to urban, architectural homes.
3. Mole's breath
Mole's Breath is a warm drab that can be used with all our neutrals. It's named after the rich color of a mole's coat and is a new cousin to the ever popular Elephant's Breath.

we spend a lot of time walking the high line before downtown dinner dates. we'll stroll and people watch until an acceptable dinner hour has been reached that doesn't qualify us as geriatric. i think new yorkers eat later than most and i have yet to conform. anywho, it's the perfect pre-dinner time waster plus you'll likely catch the sunset. we usually end up at company for pizza.
for whatever reason, high line walking evokes big life discussions involving the future and buying apartments we can't yet afford. maybe it's the perspective on the city that gets me all introspective, and really, it's too many spectives right before dinner. but it happens every time.
you'll always find well-dressed downtown sorts of people walking the high line. the types that wear all black, lots of leather, and pose in conspicuous corners.
i have no clue who this guy is.

Born Giovanni de Fidanza in 13th century Italy, Bonaventure – whose name means "happy venture" – changed his name on his entering the Franciscan order as a young man of 25.
As a young child he had been cured of a grave illness through the intercession of Francis of Assisi; and as a young man he had studied and lectured at the University of Paris under the great Franciscan teacher, Alexander of Hales. It seemed natural then, that Bonaventure should become a friar, and that the destiny of the Franciscan Order should be closely bound up with him.
When he was just 39, he was elected Minister General of the Order, a position he held for 16 difficult years. He endeavoured with great prudence to bring about a common ground between the Spirituals and the Conventuals, two extremist parties within the Franciscan community, who both argued that their interpretation of Francis was the more authentic. Because of this, Bonaventure is sometimes called the "second founder" of the Friars Minor.
Our custom of the 'Angelus' owes its origin to Bonaventure. He ordered that a bell be rung and the Hail Mary recited thrice at sunset in each Franciscan priory, a custom later adopted by the whole Church.
Bonaventure was an outstanding theologian and philosopher, and a mystical writer of the first rank. His Threefold Way is a compendium of mystical prayer; his great Commentary on the Sentences, written when he was just 27, is a summary of Scholastic philosophy; and his Life of St Francis had such clarity and beauty, that for many years it was the standard biography of that great saint.
Bonaventure always attached great importance to preaching, whether to common folk, before kings and princes, or in the lecture halls and church assemblies. He is still referred to by many as the "Seraphic Doctor".

The Debian Developer Conference 2007
From the 17th to 23rd of June, about 400 Debian developers from all over the world met in Edinburgh, Scotland, to listen to talks, attend workshops, hack some free software, and have a good time.
Debian conferences are like a family gathering. About 1000 developers work on the distribution in their spare time. These enthusiasts are spread around the world and talk online for days, sometimes weeks, before important decisions are made. As in every family, different personalities and opinions are involved, so it's important to meet regularly to talk things through over tea, coffee, or a nice pint of beer. The yearly developer meetings, called DebConf [1], are the perfect opportunity to spend some time together, put names and faces to nicknames, and discuss the future of the community distribution.

This was so easy to make... The whole family loved it. They asked for me to make more... thanks for sharing
This is almost the exact recipe that my husband's Aunt makes. It's her traditional birthday meal. It is so easy and delicious. The secret to keeping it juicy and flavorful is to sear the outside of the roast in a frying pan, just don't burn it. After it's seared then put in slow cooker with other ingredients. We have it on fresh hard rolls.
This was supper easy and great to boot!!!! I made exactly as directed, and I made it in the crockpot. Made the perfect sandwich and the broth was the perfect dipping broth!!!

I have been a resident of Violet Township since 1994, and as a former paramedic and firefighter, I can say without bias that the Violet Township Fire Department is one of the finest and most dedicated fire departments I know of.
When I worked in Pickerington for the police department, we worked together on many horrific scenes. The fire department's professionalism and care for the victims and their families goes above and beyond what is expected of it.
I encourage everyone in the city and the township to support its levy. Voters' homes, their vehicles and, most important, their families will be better served for it.

Graduate Testimonial: Krista Barclay
In comparison to other schools, the history department is fairly small and the faculty are centrally located. For me, this meant a very collegial, friendly and welcoming environment that my colleagues at larger schools just didnt get. I could just stop by faculty offices for an informal chat while I was on campus, and the office staff knew me by name and were always genuinely helpful and friendly. Having my TA office hours in the same building also allowed me to make new acquaintances from among faculty and grad students in other areas of history or political science who I would otherwise never have met. This fostered interdisciplinary discussion andsupport, making my grad student experience anything but isolating. Despite the departments small size, the Tri-University structure of the graduate program gave me access to a wide range of course options, as well as the opportunity to meet students and faculty at two additional institutions. Overall, I believe that this diversity enriched my graduate student experience considerably.
Having the opportunity to be a Teaching Assistant was amazing I didnt realize at the time that is not the standard across Canadian universities. Having met doctoral students from other schools who have never had the opportunity to TA, I feel fortunate to have had this experience at Laurier. I continue to benefit from the connections I made with students and faculty in the Tri-University program, who have maintained an interest in my studies and successes since leaving Laurier. Being able to meet faculty at all three schools was an excellent networking opportunity for me, and exposed me to a variety of specialty fields and approaches. Having relocated to another province, I always look forward to seeing familiar Tri-U faces at conferences, workshops and events across the country.

Meadows going to WVU
WILLIAMSTOWN – Not necessarily the most glorified position on the football field, Nick Meadows takes great pride as a long-snapper.
Since receiving serious looks from major college programs last summer, Meadows made it official on Wednesday and became a preferred walk-on at West Virginia University.
Among those in attendance for the senior's banner day inside Williamstown High School were his parents, Julie and Bob Meadows, along with members of the Yellowjacket coaching staff (head coach Terry Smith and assistants Scott Moore, Chris Beck and Ben Preston).
"This is a big day and a big step for my future," Nick Meadows said.
At 6-foot and 216 pounds, Meadows started on the offensive line as a senior and doubled-up at linebacker on the defensive side of the ball for a Williamstown team which advanced to the postseason and finished 6-5 last fall.
"In the past two seasons, I don't know if Nick had any bad snaps," coach Smith said. "In his junior year, he might have had one snap sail on him.
"Nick is someone who leads by example. He was one of those guys who would grind it out all the time. He was always working and never slowed down. He just doesn't take a day off."
Prior to his senior season, Meadows attended several Kohl's Professional Camps designed for snappers. An array of Division I schools showed interest in Meadows, including Ohio, Akron, Bowling Green and Pittsburgh. According to Meadows' father, Pittsburgh remained a major player 24 hours before a final decision was made.
Out-of-state tuition seemed to be one deterrent against Pittsburgh and Ohio.
"WVU didn't start contacting us until after the season started," Bob Meadows said. "I think they realized they had a problem, and they needed to start looking for somebody."
The Williamstown assistants, most notably Beck who worked with the long-snappers, figured Meadows had a special gift as early as his junior year. By the time his senior year rolled around, Meadows was basically exchanging ideas with the veterans on the coaching staff.
"Whether Nick wins the job or not, we will see," Beck said. "But one thing is for sure, the other snappers will get better because Nick will be out there pushing them. They will see how hard Nick works."
Meadows, who earned a 4.0 grade-point average in the most recent nine-week grading period, plans on pursuing a degree in nursing once he enrolls for summer classes in Morgantown. Currently, he serves as a member of the Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department and is enrolled in an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) class at West Virginia University at Parkersburg.
"I like helping other people," Meadows said.

DAYTON — Three people were wounded by gunfire in a shooting at a Dayton nightclub early Christmas morning.
Officers responding to reports of a shooting at the K-9 Club arrived to find three people with gunshot wounds.
Law-enforcement dispatch records say that two of the victims were shot in the legs and the third was shot in the shoulder area.
They were taken to hospitals with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses described the shooter and his vehicle to police.

Finally, MLB has wised up and added expanded replay.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), MLB will expand its replay beginning in 2014 playoffs.
Managers will be allowed one challenge over the first six innings of a game and two from the seventh inning until the completion of the game. Calls that are challenged will be reviewed by a crew in MLB headquarters in New York City, which will make a final ruling.
Challenges not used in the first six innings will not carry over, and a manager who wins a challenge will retain it.
For millions of baseball fans, this comes as great news. Most only wish this would have been in place when their team got screwed out of a bad call.
Which brings me to this thought—what controversies would never have happened if the new replay system was put into place?

Podcast: The FTC as an Educational Partner in Improving Data Security and Privacy
Podcast: The FTC as an Educational Partner in Improving Data Security and Privacy
This 38 minute podcast features a keynote address by Mary Beth Richards, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection for the Federal Trade Commission. Her speech, "The FTC as an Educational Partner in Improving Data Security and Privacy," was recorded at the EDUCAUSE 2008 Policy Conference in Arlington, Virgina.
The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic lives of most Americans. The current portfolio includes protecting consumers in the areas of data security and privacy, identity theft, Social Security number misuse, identity management, spam, maintaining the National Do Not Call Registry, and other IT issues of interest to colleges and universities. The FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, although a regulator of businesses, is also an educator: it seeks to educate consumers and provide businesses and other organizations with the information they need to comply with the rules of the road and to provide consumers with the necessary tools to engage in commerce intelligently. This session highlights information policy issues the FTC is addressing and educational resources institutions of higher education can leverage to improve student, faculty, and staff awareness of data security and privacy risks.

Between the tears and the sniffling, a comical picture of Peyton Chavez — like him in a hula skirt and bikini top — would pop up during the slideshow, causing an uproar of laughter in the Portales Junior High School gym.
Thursday was an emotional day for Portales Junior High School students as they remembered fellow student and friend Peyton Chavez, who died one year ago from a heart condition.
Thursday marked one year since Chavez' death and PJHS students, faculty, family and community members gathered in the school gym to remember and honor a fellow Ram, athlete, comedian and friend.
His death was related to cardiomyopathy, a heart disease that often goes undiagnosed. Chavez died in his sleep. He was 13.
"He was a friend and a brother in Christ," said Chavez' friend Ryan Privett through soft sobs. "He was such a strong Christian and he always did his best at everything he did and he was such a great leader."
Students sat united in the bleachers, some wearing shirts with Chavez' name and favorite Bible verse — Philippians 4:13, as they were led in prayer by male student body president Grant Wagner.
"Peyton was a great friend to everyone," said Wagner, who described what Chavez meant to the PJHS community. "He was a seeker, he was always seeking for something more … he found God. To know that he's with God in heaven, it's so comforting and it gives me peace."
Female student body president Bailey Rowley, read letters from students about their favorite memories of Chavez.
She then presented Chavez' parents with a jar stuffed with written memories from the eighth-grade class.
Friends and fellow athletes of Peyton Chavez had a moment of silence in front of a tree they planted for him last year as a memorial of his death.
Ruth Chavez addressed the students as the assembly came to a close, thanking them for remembering her son.
"Not very many kids your age have lost friends," said Ruth Chavez, longtime Portales High volleyball coach. "I don't want you to remember Peyton for the way that he died, I want you to remember the way that he lived."
Ruth Chavez along with husband John Chavez, who's been teaching and coaching in Portales for 33 years, said they were proud and humbled that their son had touched so many lives.
"He had the ability to see someone when they were hurting and step up and do the right thing for them whether they were his friend or not," Ruth Chavez said.
She brought up other memories of him loving to dance, sing and rap, and his father was proud of his athletic accomplishments.
John Chavez said that his son was always able to spot troubled youth.
"He would come home at night with a kid to pray for," John Chavez said.
Ruth Chavez said, "As I read through some of the posts and some of the letters that kids have sent us, I told my husband Peyton was like a psychiatrist or a counselor, he just had a way of talking to people. He just loved and accepted people."
Ruth Chavez wanted to show students she was there for them like her son was.
"Coach Chavez and Nathan (Chavez' brother) and I will never leave you," she said. "Peyton loves you and I know it's hard but it's time for us to smile again because your brother is with his father and he's happy."
PJHS Principal Steve Harris ended by talking about how strong Chavez was academically. Chavez had dreamed of being an engineer.
"Peyton was the type of student teachers dreamed about," Harris said.
He advised students to dry their tears.
"We're celebrating today and he'll live on forever here," Harris said pointing to his heart.

A reviewer at gaming site GamePlasma was evaluating recently released point-and-click PC adventure Limbo of the Lost. Something started to look a little familiar to the guy. Check it out:
This screen is from Limbo of the Lost:
This is from Xbox 360 RPG Elder Scrolls: Oblivion:
Do they look similar to you?
Eager message board posters on the internet have cited these sources as further "inspiration" for the game: Diablo II, Silent Hill 4, Painkiller, Unreal Tournament 2003, Black & White, Unreal Tournament 2004, Thief: Deadly Shadows, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Crysis, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, World of Warcraft, scenes from the 1997 film Spawn, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Well, at least they were thorough!
In response to the controversy, the game's publisher, Tri Synergy, pulled the game and issued this statement:
Tri Synergy is just as shocked as everyone else is by the recent screenshot comparisons. At no point during our dealings with Majestic Studios up until the point that the comparison was first publicly made by a third party did we have any knowledge of these similarities. Additionally, Tri Synergy will discontinue distribution of Limbo of the Lost in both retail and online outlets.
Bethesda, creators of Oblivion, say their legal department is looking into the matter.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh may have to engage in a delicate "healing process" if Scotland emerges bitterly divided from the independence poll, its new president-elect has warned.
In October Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell will become the first woman to head the Society since it was established at the height of the Enlightenment, it was announced last night. She was, she said, excited to be leading the RSE at a key moment in the country's history. "The Society likes to think of itself as the national academy, and its role would be important whatever the referendum outcome," Dame Jocelyn
