SENIOR LEGION BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Indiana Legion rides big inning to victory
Indiana Legion limited Young Township to four hits and used a big fifth inning to outlast the Renegades, 6-4, in an Indiana County Senior Legion baseball game Monday at Bertolino Field.
Indiana Legion erased a 2-0 deficit and plated five runs on four hits and an error in the top of the fifth to take a 5-2 lead.
"We had one bad inning and we paid for it. There's no doubt about that," Young Township manager Barry Thomas said.
Bo Putt paced Indiana Legion by going 2-for-3.
Jordan Hudzicki tossed a four-hitter to earn the win. He struck out six, but struggled with his control as he yielded eight walks.
After Indiana added a sixth-inning run to take a 6-2 lead, Young Township scored a pair of runs in its final at-bat in the bottom of the seventh to make it 6-4. But the Renegades couldn't complete the comeback, leaving two runners on base to end the game.
"We scored a couple runs and had a couple guys on in the seventh, but we couldn't get them in on him," Thomas said of Hudzicki. "The kid did a good job. He threw over 100 pitches but he stayed strong late in the game."
Mitchel Yard hit two doubles and drove in a run for Young Township. Mitch Johnston singled and drove in three runs.
Delbert Brown struck out seven, walked four and allowed seven hits in a complete-game losing effort.
Both teams play Thursday. Young Township (5-6) travels to Kovacik Insurance, and Indiana Legion plays host to Homer City Legion.
KOVACIK INSURANCE 15, MARION CENTER 1: First-place Kovacik Insurance racked up 13 hits and improved to 10-0 by rolling over Marion Center in a game that was shortened to five innings due to the mercy rule.
Reed Ratkus tossed a four-hitter to earn the win. Ratkus struck out four and didn't yield a walk.
No further details were reported.
The teams will meet again today, with Marion Center (3-6) playing host to Kovacik Insurance.

Alfred Russel Wallace:
"A well-researched, graceful biography."--New York Times Book Review
"A revealing look at a humble hero of science."--Library Journal
"An engaging account of Wallace's long, eventful, and extraordinarily productive life."--Richard Milner, Natural History
"This authoritative biography is an excellent and inspiring read."--Hannah Atkins, New Scientist
"Raby makes the latter part of Wallace's life as interesting as his years in the bush and cultivates in the reader a great affection for the man and his intellectual and physical energy."--National Geographic Adventure
"Whatever the cause, Wallace has emerged from the shadows and is taking his rightful place in the history of science. Relying heavily on Wallace's published works, Raby's sympathetic, highly conventional biography relates the naturalist's life from start to finish."--Edward J. Larson, Washington Post Book World
"This book provides an excellent way to understand more about one of the key figures [in the history of biology]. . . If even for a moment, Peter Raby is able to allow Alfred Russel Wallace to step out from the shadow of Darwin."--Frank T. Kuserk, Ecology
"Readable, modestly priced, and rich in fascinating observational, personal, and family anecdotes. . . . In his dynamicism, drive, and persistence in the field, Alfred Russel Wallace was remarkable."--Allen Keast, The Quarterly Review of Biology
"An attractive popular introduction to Wallace as a person, set in the context of his life and times."--Sarah Watkinson, Times Literary Supplement
"A well-researched and graceful biography."--New York Times Book Review
"This delightfully written biography is a real find. The subject is timely, and the author brings a lively sensibility and sympathy to Wallace's situation in the evolutionary story without falling prey to over-sensationalist hysteria. Wallace had a marvelously interesting life and deserves the extensive treatment that he has been given here. The chapters concerning Wallace's travels simultaneously convey the intensity of the experience and the achievements and dangers. Further, he treats the Victorian context with a light and sure touch."--Janet Browne, author of Voyaging, a biography of Charles Darwin

Failure of Muslim governments to speak honestly and openly with people of their nation has resulted in street speakers dominating street mobs by preaching ignorance and violence. In Pakistan, Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, Minister of Railways, decided to outdo the loudest most violent street monger of hatred by announcing his solution of the video that supposedly insults the Prophet, Muhammad. He offered a bounty of $100,000 to anyone who would murder producer of the film.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, prides himself on being secular and not controlled by religious leaders. His party is furious at Bilour who is pandering to religious extremists. Pakistan needs aid from western nations and becoming as one with religious mobs will only result in less and less money headed toward these Muslim nations.

Los Angeles • Seth Rogen and Zac Efron have bested the web-slinger at the box office.
Rogen and Efron's family-versus-fraternity comedy "Neighbors," was the top draw for moviegoers this weekend, unseating last week's champ, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
The R-rated "Neighbors" debuted with $51 million in ticket sales, pushing Spidey to second place with $37 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
"Sustaining a No. 1 ranking is generally tougher in the summer than any other time of year," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. "You don't expect a comedy to be able to unseat an epic blockbuster, but historically it happens more than you think."

Nevada Senator Harry Reid issued the following statement after Nevada's unemployment rate fell to 9.7 percent in January:
"Nevadans are getting back to work and the gradual fall in unemployment continues to be encouraging news. However, joblessness is still a problem in our communities. Countless individuals, from north to south, have yet to start earning a paycheck again. We can't be satisfied until all Nevadans are able to find jobs and provide for their families. We can continue to create jobs and give opportunities to small business to expand by passing a budget that invests in a strong middle class.
"This week, Senate Democrats introduced a budget that reflects the principles of balance and fairness. The plan cuts wasteful spending, reduces the deficit and closes tax loopholes that benefit the rich. It will also invest in the things that help our economy grow -- education, preventive health care, worker training, and roads and bridges. The Republican alternation- the Ryan Republican budget- demands middle-class families pay more in taxes each year, it fails to close wasteful corporate tax loopholes, and it would end Medicare as we know it.
"Democrats believe it is critical that we stabilize the deficit and Nevadans and Americans have demanded a fair approach to deficit reduction that makes sensible cuts. In the spirit of balance and fairness, Republicans should join Democrats to find a solution that works."

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE – U.S. presidential candidates, including billionaire Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, fanned out across snowy New Hampshire seeking to convert undecided voters with just hours to spare before Tuesday's crucial primary.
The Granite State takes the spotlight as Republican supporters determine whether a more mainstream candidate — Sen. Marco Rubio or one of the three governors in the race — gains ground on front-runner Trump and his nearest rival, the arch-conservative Sen. Ted Cruz.
With everything to play for in the nation's first primary after last week's Iowa caucuses, most of the nine remaining Republicans in the race blanketed the state Monday, pressing the flesh at coffee shops, middle schools, Elks lodges and town halls in a mad dash for support.
Snow had begun falling heavily in the state by Monday afternoon, creating a last-minute obstacle for voters and candidates alike.
Trump is well ahead in polls, and it is a fierce battle for second place.
A victory or strong second — or even third-place — showing can propel a candidate onward in the race toward South Carolina and Nevada, while a poor showing will likely mark an end to some candidates' White House dreams for 2016.
Democrats made their final pitches, too, as Clinton was left scrambling to narrow the gap against her insurgent challenger, the political revolutionary Sen.Bernie Sanders, who may well gallop to victory in the state.
The RealClearPolitics poll average shows Sanders leading 53.3 percent to 40.5 percent in New Hampshire.
Clinton won Iowa by a hair, but New Hampshire is essentially Sanders territory, and the independent senator from neighboring Vermont is keen to show that his campaign, built on economic fairness for all, is no fluke and can give the former secretary of state a run for her money deep into primary season.
"For all those of you who are still deciding, still shopping, I hope I can close the deal between now and the time the polls close," Clinton told a crowd at a rally in Manchester.
It is a more volatile affair on the GOP side, with fully 30 percent of voters still undecided ahead of the primary, according to a CNN poll released Sunday.
Trump was seeking to reclaim his edge and Rubio sought to regain composure after taking a drubbing in Saturday night's debate when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie eviscerated the first-term senator for regurgitating scripted talking points.
It appeared to be do-or-die for the governors in the establishment lane — Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Kasich's stock has steadily risen in New Hampshire, and he has signaled that a poor showing here would likely mean the end of his campaign.
Bush, who tangled with Trump in Saturday's Republican debate, hardened his attacks on the real estate magnate, calling him unfit to be president.
"You aren't just a loser, you're a liar and a whiner," Bush, the candidate hitting out hardest against The Donald, added on Twitter Monday.
Trump, who for months packed thousands into his campaign rallies while keeping crowds at arm's length, was engaging in more traditional retail politics in New Hampshire, holding four scheduled events Monday.
For Jack Jordan, a sea captain who lost his job one month ago, it was too late. Fed up with the front-runner's bombast and arrogance, he said he has traded "nasty" Trump for Cruz, who won Iowa.
"It's just too much," Jordan told AFP in Keene, where he listened to Cruz address supporters.
"I don't want someone representing me who's that mean."
Clinton, trailing Sanders by an average of 12.8 points in New Hampshire, has launched a full court press, enlisting husband Bill Clinton as the ultimate campaign surrogate. The popular former president has hammered Sanders for his supporters' "sexist" attacks on Hillary and for peddling an unaffordable single-payer health care plan.
Mirthia Prince, a 17-year-old student who will be eligible to vote in November, said she was "divided," and was awaiting Clinton's rally in Manchester Monday after seeing Sanders speak.
She was leaning toward Clinton. "I like her goals, she's very experienced, she's very realistic" and can get things done, she said.
"Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's a woman. It would be nice to have her in the White House."

Moving the LG Optimus 2X 4" display to an LCD TV was as simple as plugging the cable over in the TV, and then placing the other end in the HDMI-out port of the phone. The homescreen immediately appeared on the TV, and whatever we did on the phone was happening on the TV as well, both in portrait and landscape modes. Watching YouTube videos was much better this way, but the left page margins when browsing in landscape were a few pixels off.
Next we did some gaming, using the LG Optimus 2X as a game pad, and it performed admirably, due to the built-in accelerometer sensor, which made the phone very responsive during Raging Thunder. Once developers start upscaling their mobile games for bigger screens as well, and taking advantage of the powerful dual-core chipsets, we can see mobile gaming taking off even higher.
Most often, though, you will be hooking up your phone to your TV via HDMI in order to watch some videos, and, since the LG Optimus 2X supports Full HD 1080p playback, you are now able to enjoy it in the best possible way. Full HD videos in formats that the phone supports, like MPEG, played without a hiccup on the big screen TV, and if your player supports subtitles, they were there too.
In video playback mode, the only thing the phone screen showed was that the output is going to the secondary screen, thus preserving battery. You can also adjust the resolution from the HDMI option in the phone Settings menu, as well as control your TV speakers volume from the phone's volume buttons on the right side.
We tried to play a 1920x1080p music video clip, encoded in the .mkv container, a format that the phone doesn't support. It ran with the QQPlayer we found at Android Market, but playback was somewhat laggy, as you can see in the video below, and this was clearly visible both on the phone's screen, and when we output it to the TV. Thus, if you want to take full advantage of the phone's HDMI-out capabilities when watching video, it better be encoded in a format that the LG Optimus 2X supports.

It turns out that helping others can also help you protect yourself from high blood pressure.
New research from Carnegie Mellon University shows that older adults who volunteer for at least 200 hours per year decrease their risk of hypertension, or high blood pressure, by 40 percent. The study, published by the American Psychological Association's Psychology and Aging journal, suggests that volunteer work may be an effective non-pharmaceutical option to help prevent the condition. Hypertension affects an estimated 65 million Americans and is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S.
"Everyday, we are learning more about how negative lifestyle factors like poor diet and lack of exercise increase hypertension risk," said Rodlescia S. Sneed, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology in CMU's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences and lead author of the study. "Here, we wanted to determine if a positive lifestyle factor like volunteer work could actually reduce disease risk. And, the results give older adults an example of something that they can actively do to remain healthy and age successfully."

D1 Weekend Wrap - Saint Mary's
Saint Mary's - 3-0 vs Southern Utah, 1-0 at Sacramento State
The Gaels haven't exactly played a killer early season schedule but are off to a nice 4-0 start. They are my sleeper pick to contend for the WCC title mostly because I love their weekend rotation and they have legitimate power in their line-up, from both sides of the plate.
The Gaels opened up their new on-campus field this past weekend so things are very exciting in Moraga. They have made my love of their staff look good with wins by scores of 2-1, 9-2, 2-1, and 7-2. That is a composite score of 20-6 in four games. The fact that they didn't score more against Southern Utah is a little concerning to me as I don't think SUU is known as a particularly stingy pitching staff, but wins are wins.
As a team they are hitting .286 and that is fine, but again, I am going to dampen the enthusiasm a bit because of the caliber of pitching they have faced. Brenden Kalfus and Patrick Wisdom, two of their top offensive players have struggled so far but senior 1B Troy Channing has three doubles, five RBI and is hitting .412. Catcher Toby DeMello is off to a .444 start in his three games and the Gaels leading hitter so far is soph INF Ricky Boas, at .467 and three doubles. Wisdom is only hitting .154 but has walked five times, so the hits will start coming.
Now... let's get to the pitching staff. The Gaels staff has a 0.49 team ERA. Yes, 0.49. Their starters have all gone at least six innings and they seem to have the bullpen already slotted into pretty specific roles. Their starters have shown strikeout stuff, with 28 strikeouts in 26.2 innings. That is great, but the 13 walks are a little too high. Then again, they have only given up 14 hits so they don't get hurt with those walks. I think this staff IS that good.
I am not sure why senior RHP Mark Anderson hasn't pitched yet, as I thought he was part of the weekend rotation. Instead, sophomore LHP Ben Griset is starting and was stellar. Senior RHP Kyle Barraclough and junior RHP Martin Agosta were equally impressive.

Need pump setup help
Ive bought a liberty water pump for my darkroom sink. Im trying to set it up and I have a question. Where the pvc goes into the pump it reads 1 1/2" inlet. SO I tried to put a 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe in the hole and it is too big. Am I missing something? What do I need? Any advice appreciated. I have a check valve that I bought and also have it vented properly, now I just need advice on how to atatch the inlet and outlet PVC.
This is a pic of the pump that another photographer sent me of his set up to help with my setting it up.
I could be wrong, but i believe DWV PVC and water PVC are different diameters. . . .
Is the hole threaded? if it is double check the fitting size. It should be marded on it.
DWV and Pressure pipe are the same OD (outer diameter). "Tubular" pipe, such as slip joint traps and tail pieces are made of, is a different diameter. But if the inlet is threaded, you will need an 1 1/2" male adapter to screw in and it will be a little smaller than the pipe itself, due to the threads being cut (actually molded with most plastic) into the pipe. Liberty's website shows an 1 1/2" model and a 2" model but nothing smaller.
The picture looks like 1 1/2". It also shows both an "S-trap" and a double trap, neither of which are legal or necessary. The trap at the bottom is all you need.

What are the cons of it taking longer for the moly rings to seat?
I don't know if it matters or not but the engine is a (currently) stock Ford 302 in an 87 F150. It will not exactly be a race/high performance engine but i want increased torque for pulling a trailer, and longevity. The engine uses a speed density EFI system so it will probably not see excessive changes, unless i convert to mass air.
I do plan to use a Comp Cams 31-255-5 cam and lifter kit, possibly gt40 heads (maybe even shaved some for a little extra compression), and a set of headers. Everything else will be stock (intake, pistons, bearings, oil pump, timing set, pushrods, rocker arms, rods, crank, etc)
Ring material depends a lot on machining accuracy and oiling of the engine. The simple cast gray iron ring harkens back to a day when machining was pretty loose both in axis accuracy, straightness and finish. This was also a period where bottom end oiling was excessive by design where often, if not always, the rod was drilled to put an indexed pressure oil stream onto the cylinder wall and bottom of the piston to prevent upper cylinder wear and reduce operating temperature of the piston and ring pack. At that engine life was not long espeically by todays standards. The chrome plated ring came along in the 1960's which needed much less upper cylinder lubrication but also required better machining the latter possible by the OEMs but usually not the corner auto repair shop. In this period the OEMs also eliminated pressure oiling of the cylinder wall and piston bottom, drying up the bottom end somewhat because the chrome ring did not requre near so much lubrication and cooling as simple gray cast iron. The problem with chrome rings occur mostly in rebuilds where the cylinder walls were not aligned well enough with the crankshaft while the bore was not concentric enough in roundness nor straight enough in the lenght of the bore top to bottom while the free hand of the finish hone added to these errors plus often had a finish that was too smooth so the rings had a hard, if not impossible, time seating into the wall. Bon Amy anyone? High oil consumption and blow by was the result.
Moly coatings, filled or plasma spray, provided much the same benefit of chrome in that they live with very little upper end lubrication while not micro-welding to the cylinder wall. This greatly reduces the wear rate so the engine holds better compression for a longer time. They fit well into the scheme of modern low emissions engines by allowing even less lubrication of the cylinder walls and piston bottoms and are tolerant of high operating temperatures. They are not as wall finish sensitive as the chrome ring which makes them very effective for rebuilds that come from shops with older machining equipment and/or questionable capabilities of the machinests.
The base material of the ring has changed a lot; the old cast gray iron ring with or without coatings of chrome or moly are better suited to less well machined and finished cylinder walls with pistons of softer alloys (low silicon) as the softer gray iron doesn't pound on the soft ring lands of these piston types with such intensity as ductile iron or steel rings will do. Ductile iron whether coated with chrome or moly is better suited to modern high silicon cast pistons like the hypereutectic or forged pistons whether low silicon 2618 or the high silicon 4032 alloys as forgings are harder and can tolerate the better ring alloys beating on the ring lands with every direction change of the strokes.

Are you coming to Madrid to study and are looking for a great apartment close to refreshing green areas? Look no further, this awesomely-located apartment in Retiro is waiting for you!
This cool flat has everything to make your stay in the city a unique experience. It includes three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, a living room and a dining room. Both available bedrooms are comfortable and lovely, and the kitchen comes with all the appliances you may need to cook your daily meals. The living room is bright, modern and has a high-class vibe. The whole apartment features an elegant and warm décor, and you'll surely feel at home here!
You will be sharing this property with the landlady.
She is over 40 years old.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.

Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Sewing Machine... 350 SBC XR282HR Comp Cam with Lunati Roller Rockers
Motor has about 300 miles on it and i never really noticed but my engine sounds like a sewing machine. At first i feared it was a ring land, but a compression check showed that all was well.
Cam is a XR282HR, with LS7 lifters and Lunati Voodoo Rockers...
Im running procomp sheet metal valve covers and have plenty of clearance.
Preload is set up 1/2 turn past zero lash.
Is a sewing machine sound normal with an aggressive cam like this?
Its not terribly loud... i can hear it with the hood closed... but I can hear it with the hood open if i listen.
That sound is pretty normal with aftermarket roller rockers. I've heard it on every engine I've had with them. My solid roller sounds like that with the hood closed.
its not that loud that i can hear it outside... every once in a while if i bring it up to around 2500 rpm I can here it in the cab.
No misses, or carrying on... motor runs like a raped ape and moves my 4000lb pickup pretty good, pretty damn good.
As long as you tightened them down right I wouldn't worry about it. If it was super loud then you might need to readjust the preload but otherwise you'll be good. I've ran hydraulics a few times with aftermarket roller rockers, including a set of LS7 lifters, and they made that noise. I think you're good man.
thanks, ill try not to worry about it...
try a different oil and or viscosity

Policy and Procedure Manual Section 17 VII
Agreement for Maintaining a Service Animal
within Georgia Highlands College
Approved by the Cabinet, 2-15-10
The following guidelines apply to all students and their approved animals who use Georgia Highlands College facilities unless the nature of the documented disability of the student precludes adherence to these guidelines.
For the purpose of this policy, the term service animal refers to service animals, and assistive animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair Employment and Housing Act respectively. According to this definition, service animals are considered as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals who are hearing impaired to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. {28 C.F.R. 36.302(c)(1)}
According to the Georgia statue amended on July 1, 2007, any person engaged in the training/raising a service animal such as a dog for training as a guide shall have the same right to be accompanied by such dog [being trained/raised for training] as the totally or partially blind person, deaf person, or physically disabled person. {OCGA 30-40-2}
Animal Behavior
1. An exception to the Academic Regulations B, as listed in the GHC Student Handbook, is granted for service animals provided that their behavior, noise, odor, and waste do not exceed reasonable standards for a well behaved animal and that these factors do not create unreasonable disruptions to the campus community.
2. Dangerous, poisonous, and/or illegal animals are not permitted.
3. The approved service animal must be maintained by the student/owner at all times, and must be transported in an animal carrier or controlled by leash or harness. Additionally, the student must carry the approval letter (copy) from Student Support Services (SSS) as verification of approval of service animal, to be shown to any college official that inquires.
Animal Health and WellBeing
1. All service animals must be in good health and have all veterinarian recommended vaccinations to maintain the animals health and prevent contagious diseases. Documentation of vaccinations is due at time of approval. GHC reserves the right to request an updated verification at anytime the animal is in service.
2. If state or local licenses are required for the service animal, they must be obtained and kept current in compliance with the local jurisdiction (i.e. dog license) requirements. GHC reserves the right to request proof of licensing at anytime during the animals service.
3. All service animals must wear identification tags with contact information and, if applicable, vaccination information.
4. All service animals must be treated humanely. If mistreatment is reported, a GHC official will review the report with the student. The College judicial process may be initiated as a result of a report of mistreatment.
Animal Cleanliness
1. Students/owners are responsible for properly containing and disposing of all animal fecal waste.
a. Indoor service animal waste, such as cat litter, must be placed in a sturdy plastic bag and tied securely before being disposed in outside trash dumpsters. Litter boxes should be placed on mats so that feces and urine are not tracked onto carpeted surfaces.
b. Outdoor services animal waste, such as dog feces, must be immediately retrieved by the student/owner placed in a plastic bag and securely tied before being disposed in outside trash dumpsters. For visually impaired residents, a designated area for service animal waste will be agreed upon in advance.
Student Responsibilities
1. The student must register with Student Support Services and receive approval for an accommodation to have each service animal in GHC facilities prior to having a service animal enter the facility. Regular reviews of the students individual needs will be conducted at the discretion of SSS.
2. The student is responsible for ensuring that the service animal does not interfere with the routine activities and daily operations of the college or cause difficulties for students or staff attending and working there. Sensitivity to individuals with allergies and to those who fear animals is important to ensure the peace of the college community.
3. The student is financially and legally responsible for the actions of the service animal such as bodily injury or property damage, including but not limited to, any replacement of furniture, carpet, drapes, or wall covering, etc. GHC shall have the right to bill the students account for necessary repair and/or replacement costs.
4. The students classrooms may be inspected for fleas, ticks, or other pests once per term or as needed. GHC staff will schedule the inspection. If fleas, ticks, or other pests are detected through inspection, the room will be treated using approved fumigation methods by a GHC approved pest control service. The student will be billed for the expense of any pest treatment above and beyond normal required pest management.
5. The student must notify a Disability Specialist in the SSS in writing if the service animal is no longer needed as a service animal. To replace a service animal the student must file a new request with his/her Disability Specialist.
6. In the event a student lives in campus housing (SPSU): All roommates, suitemates, or apartment mates of the student must sign an agreement allowing the service animal to be in residence with them. In the event that one or more roommates, suitemates, apartment-mates do not approve, either the resident and service animal or the non-approving roommates, suitemates, or apartment-mates, as determined by the Director of Housing, may be moved to a more suitable location.
7. Any violation of these policies will be reviewed through the GHC judicial process and the student will be afforded all rights of due process and appeal as outlined in that process.

Washington, DC - In order to fulfill President Obama's promise to bring Federal labor and management representatives together to share ideas and come to agreement on issues facing the Federal workforce, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hosted the first meeting of the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations.
The Council, which is co-chaired by OPM Director John Berry and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Deputy Director for Management Jeffrey Zients, is a Presidential advisory body composed of senior government officials and representatives from Federal employee organizations and Federal management groups. It was established by Executive Order 13522, entitled, "Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of Government Services."
"I know this Council is going to make us proud because of its emphasis on coming up with ideas and innovative ways to improve the delivery of services and products, while cutting costs and advancing Federal employee interests," said Berry. "I look forward to working with the members of the Council to make progress on our common interest: serving the American public."
In addition to exploring options for creating a more responsive government and workforce, the Council will assist in the implementation of Labor-Management Forums throughout the government. It also will allow for a non-adversarial forum for managers, employees, and employees' union representatives to discuss Government operations, promote satisfactory labor relations and improve the productivity and effectiveness of the Federal Government.

Keep in mind, ALL lock blade knives are illegal in San Antonio. Carry a fixed blade there.

Keep in mind, ALL lock blade knives are illegal in San Antonio. Carry a fixed blade there.
Agreed, Harley 55. Post #33 in the thread http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulle...e-knife-4.html lists the relevant San Antonio knife prohibitions.
Normal fixed blades with 5.5" or less would seem the way to go.
So, can illegal knives be owned, just not carried? A friend owns not only swords but survival knives like double edged Gerber Mark I's and II's. Should I advise him that they be locked up and hidden or shipped out of state?
I have a "diver's tool" that must be 10 inches long and weighs about 3 lbs. I could probably throw it through my walls in break the exterior brick as well. It just isn't something that is going to be in the passenger compartment of my car.
The knife and other non-firearm weapon laws are way too vague. We just had a thread about pepper spray and quantity. There's a variety of martial arts goodies that are "sports equipment" but technically not legal; "it all depends" is a lousy way for the law to be. E.g., Rattan sticks for Modern Arnis are "sports equipment," but best kept in the trunk and wrapped in something that hides their "bat" like qualities.
I've not heard of this
Remember, this thread is about Texas knife laws. Everyone keep in mind, Texas has illegal knives and prohibited weapons....two different animals.
switchblade (autos) are prohibited weapons and are illegal to have anywhere, illegal knives are legal to have but just not carried on/about our person off your property (or property under your control) or not in your vehicle (or vehicle under your control)
sorry if this wording was misleading:
illegal knives are legal to have but just not carried on/about our person off your property (or property under your control) or not in your vehicle (or vehicle under your control)
Good luck trying to convince LEO in Texas that is the law. After being thrown in the pokey, and having your knife confiscated, finally getting out of the pokey ( think 3 days ), and winning in court, and maybe getting your knife back, you may decide to play it safe and carry a 5 1/4" fixed blade or folder ( 5 1/2 is legal, but you can hear under 5 1/2, or have them make you put it across your open palm). With that knife all of the above can still happen, ask me how i know. It seems to be up to LEO descretion at the time what happens. Not the final outcome, but the onset. I for the record have not had any problems after getting older and looking more like a citizen. San Antonio does not like any locking folders, and people say just carry a fixed blade... You will win in the end, but is all the above worth it? Don't get me wrong, there are many fine and knowledgable LEO in Texas, however, some parts are like the wild west or a communist state.
1.San Antonio has a city ordinance making essentially any locking blade knife illegal. Its a bunch of BS.
2. 5.5 inches is the whole blade length not just the sharpened part. Anything past the guard is considered blade.
3. Switchblades are illegal to own period.
4. You can carry a knife in your vehicle that has a blade length of over 5.5 inches as long as is concealed in the vehicle/out of sight. You can not carry a 5.5 inch or longer blade(on your person) in public or inside your vehicle.
5. Double edged knives are illegal to carry on your person in public or your vehicle. That includes knives with a sharpened swedge.
Basically most fixed blade knives can be considered illegal because they fall under the definition of dirk, dagger, bowie knife, or poniard. If a Peace Officer says its illegal you are going to go for a ride and you will spend a fortune trying to clear yourself. The only good thing is most good Peace Officers will let you off with a warning
I went through the Alamo not to long ago with my lock back folder not knowing this, now I do. Lots of nice Bowie knives in there on display too. My old arrest years ago for UCW ( unlawful carry of a weopon, which was in the end determined a legal knife ) made getting my CHL very time consuming, had to prove it to DPS, just for the arrest, not a conviction. Did get knife back on that one, they said it hardley ever happens, most are destroyed. Still have it, that was 30 years ago.

Maybe it's ok under the castle law in your car, but if you do my bet is your gonna be that kind of bird that don't sing. Plus attny fees.

Amway's income trickles Down Under as $53m bonus
Page Tools
Sydney is bracing for an influx of tourists not seen since the Olympics - not sports fans, but thousands of Amway salespeople.
Yesterday the first of 13,600 Amway sales representatives from China landed, and the logistics are so dizzying that their arrival has been split into four groups.
They are here for a conference, the largest of its kind hosted by Australia, which will last throughout the month.
Sightseeing and shopping is also on the agenda: the contingent is expected to inject $53 million into the local economy through meals, accommodation, transport and other spending.
The general manager of Amway of Australia, Michial Coldwell, said the conference was a leadership seminar of the type the company often ran.
"When Amway salespeople achieve a certain level of sales, or points, they qualify as leaders of the business and earn the right to go on the trip," he said.
Amway China achieved sales of $US1.2 billion in 2003, about 20 per cent of Amway's global revenue, according to China Business Weekly.
The Amway business model, which involves direct-selling through independent agents, is illegal in China, so Amway has to sell it goods through fixed outlets.
"We share best practices between affiliates, but that's the limit of it," Mr Coldwell said. "The Chinese operation is unique and run by Chinese management."
Still, China has pledged to shortly remove its ban on direct-selling as part of its World Trade Organisation commitments. So the beaming visitors on Sydney's streets may soon be rapping on doors in Shanghai or Beijing.

Re: HELP again
Just one more item of interest to make this problem more curious....if you
define your own function:
f[x_] := x + Fourier[x]
f[x_] := x Fourier[x]
then by replacing output = Fourier[ideal] by output = f[ideal] you get
the correct final results.
On the other hand, functions such as :
f[x_] := Fourier[x] + x
f[x_]:= Fourier[x] x
f[x_] := 2 + Fourier[x]
all continue to give the wrong answer. But you can define a function:
f[x_] := x Fourier[x] / x
that obviously just gives Fourier[x] as an output, but now you will get
the right answer!! Kind of strange results that I haven't been able to
figure out...good luck. RF

We recently upgraded to Mathematica v4 on NT and Solaris from Mathematica
To my horror, I discovered that notebooks which produced good results
under 3 produced
errroneous ones under v4.
I have traced the fault, and the code below is distilled down to illustrate the
problem. Basically, I'm simply assigning complex numbers to an array
using a
Do[] (but note the Fourier[], which seems to be necessary to cause the
bug, for
some reason). Unfortunately, the imaginary parts of the result are not
- their values should be as in the array "ideal" but are simply equal to
real parts !!
Can people reproduce it ? What is going on ? No comments please on style
content - remember this is a cut down version of a far larger notebook
just to
illustrate the point:
In[1]:= $Version
Out[1]= "4.0 for Microsoft Windows (April 21, 1999)"
In[2]:= SeedRandom[1];
Out[2]= {{0.337385+0.6624 I], 0.563615-0.750732 I},{0.869075+0.200504 I,
In[3]:= output=Fourier[ideal];
Out[3]= {{0.337385+0.337385 I, 0.563615+0.563615 I},{0.869075+0.869075
Why does Out[3] not equal Out[2] ? In Mathematica v3, there is no
The upshot of this is that we have "downgraded" back to Mathematica v3
until this is
sorted out (the fragment of code above is distilled from our computer
holography design algorithms).
I've asked Wolfram Support to help out, but am awaiting their comments.
Please e-mail me with any replies as well as copying them to the newsgroup.

A sub-inspector of Amherst Street police station has been arrested following a complaint lodged by a woman alleging that he had sent her indecent text messages.
"A case under the IPC Section 509, dealing with word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman, has been slapped on the sub-inspector. He was produced in Bankshall court and granted bail," said a senior officer of the north division.
Prior to his arrest, the officer had been closed, or temporarily taken off active duty.
Sources at Lalbazar said the complainant had been visiting the police station for a month in connection with a property dispute and interacting with the accused. "On February 8, she called on deputy commissioner (north) Gaurav Sharma and complained that the officer had sent her indecent text messages," said an officer.

Grocery Challenge - April
Well, unbelieveably, April is right around the corner. I was successful with $130 for March and am going to keep my goal at that for April and not bring it down $10 more as I usually do when I meet the goal. My concern is that I am going through my stockpile and am also now out of chicken, so this will be a stocking up month for me. If I keep it under $120, then that's a bonus thrill for me and I'll move it down to $110 for May. But, realistically, I'm keeping it at $130.
I will say $150.00 for April. No $200.00 for April, ds' Birthday is in April so I'll have to spend more to feed his little friends.03-29-2003, 03:48 PM #3

I don't know if I was successful in March or not. So many things have happened this month, that I lost track of my expenses. But, I'm ready to jump back on the wagon, and try it again.

So, dh wanted to buy some clam sauce for the pasta last night. I was against it, but he's been doing so well with his diet, that I decided to bite my tongue and not only let him do a mid-week shop (totally against the rules) but also let him buy an item that I didn't have a coupon for. However, I made him do the shop for next week while he was out, so I guess I saved myself a trip on Sunday! (I'll probably still go because I remembered a few things that we need this morning.) He did pretty well.

Nice stuff.
The original is a really sweet melody and it's hard to make it sound bad. Really nice arrangement all in all. And the flash was brilliant!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I doubt many could recognize the origin...
I do appreciate the FFIV reference, probably 3rd or 4th to best final fantasy they ever made, but I'm curious as to how you came across this piece, and decided to remake it. It's pretty obscure, even in the game, only times I can remember it being played are when that summoner girl's mom dies and whenever your friends decide to sacrifice themselves. Well it reminds of the good times of being a badass dark knight, and then the slightly less good times being a faggy purple-haired paladin. Thanks for the remake, it sounds decent.

Oodles of Free Legacy UML TutorialsSee how we used to do things back in Olden Times by visiting the legacy UML tutorials section of the Codemanship website (the content from the highly-popular-with-your-granddad-back-in-the-day parlezuml.com).
I maintain that:
a. Visual modeling & UML is still useful and probably due for a comeback, and
b. Visual modelling and Agile Software Development can work well together when applied sparingly and sensibly

It's a staggering 11,300 words - roughly 20% of your average technical book - written in just one weekend, so please forgive any silliness and imperfections. Hopefully you'll get the gist of it all the same.

Apes With Hobbies - Free Debut AlbumIt's a bit off-topic, I know. And this isn't going to be everybody's copu of tea, but I've recently released an album of my music (well, actually, 2 albums) which you can download for free.
If you're one of the twelve or so people in the world who like that sort of thing, then you can follow @apeswithhobbies on Twitter or give us the nod on Facebook.
You can also hear and download tracks from a bonus album of electronica called Synthopathic from the Apes With Hobbies last.fm page - which may come as good news for non-metal fans.

New Forward For People Reading My Java OCL TutorialI checked the web stats for the recently relocated parlezuml.com site, and was slightly to dismayed to discover that the second most popular tutorial - after an introduction to use cases - is not something useful like TDD or refactoring, but (the horror!) the Object Constraint Language. What have thou wraught!
Let's face it, people only learn OCL to pass exams on OCL. In the real world, we don't use it.
So I've added a little forward to the Java OCL tutorial (nobody seems that interested in the .NET fersion, giving even stronger indications that it's being downloaded by university students and academics). Hopefully it will balance things out a little, and assuage some of my guilt.
If you're reading this tutorial, you're probably either studying for or teaching a computing or software engineering academic qualification.
How do I know this?
Simple. In the real world, almost nobody uses OCL. And by "almost nobody", I mean maybe 1/100 software professionals may have learned it. And maybe 1/100 of them ever use it. Learning OCL very probably is not going to get you a job as anything other than someone who teaches OCL.
I believe it is a useful skill to have if you want to really get to grips with UML, but I can state categorically, with my hand on my heart, than I have in my entire career used OCL in anger maybe twice.
Knowing OCL will not make you a better software developer, and you are unlikely to work with other software developers who know OCL, rendering it useless as a communication tool.
You may have been told about Model-driven Architecture. Back in 2000, it was going to be the next big thing. It wasn't.
On 99.9% of professional software projects, we still type code in a third-generation language into a text editor. Occasionally we draw UML diagrams on whiteboards when we want to visualise a design or analysis concept. You will find that some UML notations are still in widespread use - especially class and sequence diagrams, and activity diagrams for workflow analysis.
Consider OCL as being a classical language, like Latin or Ancient Greek.
It's useful to know, as it can give you some general background when applying things like Design By Contract, or even for functional programming. But it is, too all intents and purposes, a dead language.
Trust me, almost nobody out here speaks it.
Having said that, I hope you find this tutorial useful in passing your exams. And I look forward to maybe teaching you some useful skills - like test-driven development or refactoring - when you graduate and join the community of professional software developers.
Best wishes,
Jason Gorman

First Auditions For Software Craftsmanship 2010 Point The Way2010 brings a winter wonderland to much of Europe, and the first good auditions for Software Craftsmanship 2010 have been carried in on those freezing cold arctic winds.
David Laing has sent me a link to an already pretty slick-looking session on TDD for databases, which touches on lots of great stuff and utilises a good range of test and build expertise which I personally need to get my head around.
Emmanuel Gaillot has submitted a very interesting demonstration of the Robozzle kata in Haskell (not, I suspect, the last Haskell audition we'll see). A very good audition which I'm confident will translate into a great session.
Robozzle Kata in Haskell from Emmanuel Gaillot on Vimeo.
At this stage, formal auditions have not begun, except for coaches, but I very strongly recommend sticking your videos up and getting early informal feedback, as David and Emmanuel have demonstrated brilliantly here.
The SC2010 community site should be up and running in early February, and you will be able to join, submit links to your audition videos and vote on the other auditions posted and give feedback. Auditions will run through February to May, and you will be able to rehearse and refine and resubmit your auditions as many times as you like during that period before the final votes are counted and selections are made for the conference.
If you're interested in coaching a handful of auditionees each month to help them improve their sessions (and can spare 5-10 hrs/month), then I still have room for 2-3 more of you lovely, generous folk to lend a hand. In the spirit of egalitarianism, everybody must audition, including coaches. You don't need to be a master software craftsman, just confident that you know sh*t from shinola when it comes to practices like TDD and refactoring. Coach auditions need to be with me before February. 20 minutes of basic TDD or a bit of refactoring would easily suffice. Email links to auditions here. Coaches will get major kudos and a goody bag, and I doubt it'll look to shabby on your CV that you were an official coach at Software Craftsmanship 2010.
Keep those auditions coming!

Celebrate The New Year With Some Rubbish Demos I Recorded In 2009
And so we come to the end of another year. And what a year it's been! The first international conference on Software Craftsmanship. Boffoonery! in aid of Bletchley Park. And in those rare spare moments, and against all the advice of my elders and betters, Ive been recording demos of my really rather poor guitar music, which I present in their horrific entirety for your delight and delectation as a seasonal gift (or curse, depending on how you look at it).
These rough demos (very rough demos!) were recorded between Sept and Dec 2009 using RiffWorks, which I highly recommend for getting stuff down quickly without the usual "noodling" you get with Pro Tools, Cubase etc. Unless otherwise stated, guitar is an Ibanez RG2550Z (black and pointy, just the way I like them) and bass is a Peavey Cirrus through a SansAmp Bass Driver. I played all parts, except for the very sloppy bits, which were played by someone who broke into my flat and over-dubbed my originally faultless playing
Take No Pensioners
I've dedicated this fine example of demo quackery to my stepmum for her Herumphtieth birthday. The first track I did in RiffWorks,
and first track using the speaker-emulated output of my new Blackstar HT-Dual pedal.
The solo really sucks. Sorry, I just couldn't resist a bit of 80's Big-Hair-Open-Wah wankery.
Chunky's Revenge
More sloppy Big Hair wankery, this time in a Vai-esque lydian groove (you'll be hearing a lot of that, I'm afraid), with the HT-Dual and a nice clean sound courtesy of my Damage Control Liquid Blues pedal. Through a Damage Control Timeline tube-based delay pedal (the best-sounding I've heard). A lovely tubey lead sound. Must be all those tubes. Tubes still rule in metal!
Snakeskinned Alive
Wanky, wanky, wanky! Nobody likes this demo. Well, I do. But nobody normal. Used the Radial Plexitube pedal for a nice British sound through the POD X3 doing just cabinet/mic simulation. Like you care...
The Long Ride Home
All POD X3. 100% digital. I think there's a simulated Ibanez Tubescreamer in their warming up the clean sound. And lots of long delays and backwards guitar. No synths. All guitar. My feeble attempt at a David Sylvian/Robert Fripp-style affair
The Heavymetallist
This is my test track. I've done a demo with it four or five times to test different set-ups. This is the version I did after I discovered the amazing Recabinet convolution reverb library. I've never heard a better approximation of real guitar cabinet/mic combinations. For $15. Pity about the actual playing.
The Girl From Panama
I was drunk. It was late. My neighbours hate me. I was aiming for an Al Di Meola vibe. Well, sort of. If you listen carefully, you can hear the metronome ticking away at the end. Just a Yamaha CPX700 semi-acoustic through a Shure SM57 mic and massive reverb from the POD X3.
The Heavier Metallist
Tried to make a more atonal version of the Heavymetallist with insane distortion courtesy of the POD X3. "Tried" being the operative word.
Okay, so this is all HT-Dual and Recabinet, and I dusted off my metallic red Tokai Strat (they make better strats than Fender, IMHO). Yes, it's a big long lydian solo. Again. Wanky, wanky, wanky.
Pass The Napalm (On The Left Hand Side)
Recabinet + Damage Control Solid Metal in face-melting "Nuclear Mode". Your granny will love it.
Recabinet + Solid Metal (at half-mast) in ill-advised attempt to recreate the minimalist sound of the eponymous Swiss metallers, complete with completely-out-of-place and very badly executed effect-laden solo
September Summer
Some acoustic stuff with a very slow jazz/latin feel and the strat doing the honours at the end. Just listen to that intonation. I'm not a qualified guitar tech. I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true. I was planning to add something, well, interesting. But lost interest.
Devin Sent ("The Man From Canada")
Dedicated to my Dad, who is from Canada. HT-Dual. Timeline. LOTS of delay. Then added a suboctave to beef up the sound using a TC-Electronic G-Major along with cavernous reverb in a vain attempt to disguise my awful playing. The final finish was some synth fairy dust courtesy of the stupifyingly powerful Omnisphere. My tribute to the actually talented Devin Townsend, who is also from Canada.

My Lovely But Still Overdue SC2009 SummarySo I finally got around to following up on last week's amazing Software Craftsmanship conference. With the formalities out of the way, I just wanted to add some personal notes about the experience, because that - apparantly - is what blogs are for.
First of all, I just want to go on record and say that I got a real kick out of organising this conference. I had some great help from Peter Camfield, Kerry Jones, Robin Doran and many others that meant that pretty much everything went smoothly on the day. It was an absolute pleasure to put together, and hearing the very positive - some might even dare to say "gushing" feedback on and after the day was the icing on the cake.
I was really chuffed with the programme we ended up with, and - contrary to how it almost always works - doubly chuffed to see expectations being exceeded in the execution of those sessions. I think we got a kick-arse, A1 bunch of sessions and session leaders, personally. I couldn't have wished for a better start to what may well turn into a new series of conferences and other related events.
Talking of feedback, I really, really think we're on to something here. Software craftsmanship is not a flash in the pan, I suspect. It's not just Le Fad De Jeur. Being surrounded by 100 committed professionals who genuinely care about what they're doing and who are 100% dedicated to learning and improving has been one of the highlights of my checkered programming career. I want more!
And I'm going to get it! SC2010 is definitely on the cards now, and I'm feeling very confident about pushing the envelope next year and taking this conference boldy to places where no conference has been before.
But 2010 is still a loooooong way aways yet. SC2009 had a palpable energy and momentum. You can feel it when you watch the Vox Pops video. And a sentiment that came out in much of the feedback I heard on the day is "let's make sure this doesn't fizzle out". So I'm looking with some urgency into setting up a regular get-together here in London where we can get hands on together, run dojos and katas over a coffee or a beer. Frankly there's been too much lips-flapping and not enough key-bashing of late, and we need more opportunities to - as Frank Zappa so eloquently put it - Shut Up And Play Our Guitars!
But London's just one little part of the world where craftsmanship has caught fire. There are other flames being fanned in far-flung places like Chicago, for example. Ironic that in a city named after their politician's empty rhetoric (the "windy city") we have a strong and rapidly maturing tradition of software craftsmanship growing thanks to folk like Micah Martin at 8th Light, Dave Hoover at Obtiva and - lest we forget - Uncle Bob Martin and Mike Feathers at Object Mentor. Micah crossed the pond especially for SC2009, I'm told, keen to see what's going down here in London. I'm equally keen to forge links with craftsman in Chicago and wherever else in the world they may be found.
In these days of global warming and rising fuel costs, though, we should look for ways to achieve rich international collaboration and sharing through technologies like Skype, desktop sharing, videoconferencing and atomic carrier pigeons (okay, I may have made that last one up). Hopping on planes and seeing folk in the flesh is going to be a necessity, I'm sure. But it's not a scalable or sustainable route to the level of sharing that I think we're going to need to really drive craftsmanship forward across borders.
On a totally personal note, it was very refreshing to see the "A" word taking a back seat at a conference for once. sure, lots of Agile folk there and lots of Agile practices, but the word that dominated the day was "craftsmanship" - which is as it should be now.
So, my summary summarised - By Jingo, I Think We May Be On To Something, Here!
Well, that's enough superlatives for one day. I'm off to read a whitepaper on some Model-driven Architecture nonsense.
Until next week, toodle pip!

Korres Party Survival Kit
2 Recommendations
AmandaGayle's recommendation
We've all heard of hangover cures and ways to not feel so awful after having a little too much fun the previous night... but a survival kit for your skin? This is a first for me, but it makes total sense. I, for one, know that my face always looks a wreck after staying out too late and having a little too much fun. This kit contains a 24-hour moisturizer, evening eye cream, body butter, shower gel, and chewing gum (to freshen your breath). Sounds like a must have for anyone... especially the fun-loving college student. Oh, and did I mention it's natural and organic?
Yournewbestfriend's recommendation
This is awesome! It is an all natural and organic body care kit for your oh so tired and partied out skin. It includes 24 hour moisturizer, eye cream, shower gel, gum, and more! I need one of these for every Vegas weekend. That's for sure.

Meson Panza Verde was established in 1986 as the first Luxury Boutique Hotel and Restaurant (European style) in Antigua. Ideally located at the quiet end of famous Fifth Avenue. It is a pleasant five minute walk from Antigua's main Plaza and Cathedral down cobble stone streets past wonderful ruins and delightful shops. Our hotel has a total or twelve rooms. Nine uniquely decorated suites and three double rooms. Just beyond the entrance, there is an inviting central garden and fountain surrounded by a veranda that is quintessential Antigua. Meson Panza Verde has been selected as a Fodor´s Choice Establishment. Our restaurant has received the coveted Medal de Oro (of Gold) award, which is the best in the country.
Our Restaurant motto is "international cuisine with a twist". People often ask about our name. Panza Verde is what generations of Antigüeños have called themselves. No one is quite certain of the true story, but it is said the people who remained here after the Capital was moved to Guatemala City were so poor they had to subsist on avocados. Being a Panza Verde is mentioned with great pride.

WQXR, New York City's only classical music station and sister station of WNYC, has announced the appointment of Graham Parker to the position of Vice President of Classical 105.9 WQXR. Mr. Parker is currently the Executive Director of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
Laura Walker, President and CEO of New York Public Radio, said that Parker has the experience to build a great brand and a great destination for classical music.
From the classical music canon and legacy, and to future of the 21st century, "his vision encompasses it all," Walker said.
New York Public Radio acquired WQXR from The New York Times in the fall of 2009.
Parker will develop WQXR's brand as a New York-rooted classical music destination, coordinating programming on the air, online and in live performance.
First and foremost, Parker will be a curator for great classical music, Walker said.
His experience running the orchestra-led Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will also serve him as he leads the staff of WQXR and WQXR.org. "A leader of a conductor-less orchestra needs to have a sense of respect for the collective as well as the individual," Walker said.
Parker said he has listened to the station since he came to the U.S. from the U.K. in the mid-90s. Since its acquistion by New York Public Radio in July 2009, he says the programming has become more varied and imaginative. He pointed particularly to the Q2 online music stream which, he said, provides a counterbalance to the more traditional on-air programming. He plans to make WQXR.org a digital hub, providing content on mobile devices, so that audiences "can bring WQXR anywhere."
Parker grew up listening to the BBC. Through the online platform, he hopes to bring a global reach to his work with WQXR. "We want to share that content with the widest number of people possible."
Parker served as head of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra for eight years. "Graham has been a positive force for new ideas and change, and for collaboration." said Jim Bredeson, Orpheus's General Manager.
WQXR has been one of Orpheus' cultural partners, collaborating on live broadcasts and other online projects. "We hope that collaboration that will continue." Bredeson said.
The Orpheus board of directors met this morning, after learning of Parker's departure, and will begin a national search for a new Executive Director in July. Bredeson will serve as interim executive director until the position is filled.
