DEARBORN (WWJ) — There's been a lot of hype about 3D printing lately — 3D printed pizza, chocolate, toys, cell phone accessories — even precision manufactured products like hearing aids. With 3D printers falling to under $500 in price, there are predictions that there will soon be one in every home.
Well, the world's 5,000 foremost experts in 3D printing will gather at Detroit's Cobo Center in June for a global conference.
Sponsored by SME, formerly known as the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the 25th annual Rapid conference will be held at Cobo June 9-12. It's the first time the event has been in Detroit since 2007.
Of course, SME uses some different words for 3D printing — phrases that now sound a bit antiquated, like "rapid prototyping" or "additive manufacturing." But after all, this technology has been around for more than 25 years — although the machines that now…

This has been a long time in the making, but after almost three months of testing in the highly experimental Firefox Nightly release channel, Firefox's new Australis user interface has now found its way into the pre-beta Aurora channel. The new user interface, which the company has been working on for a long time, gives the browser a more Chrome-like look. As in Chrome, the settings and options are now behind the same kind of drawer menu next to the URL bar as in Google's browser and rounded tabs at the top of the screen.
These similarities with Chrome is likely the first thing users will notice. Indeed, if you quickly switch back and forth between the two, you'll likely get confused about which one is which.
The team also completely redesigned the menu too, and added a large number of customization options that aren't available in…

Let's be real here: there's a decent chance that you picked up a new smartphone at some point during the holidays, so you're off the market for at least a little while longer. As it turns out though, you may have been better off waiting a bit.
In a show of New Years magnanimity (or, you know, a ploy to push more units) Motorola has slashed the prices of its sans-contract Moto X — a fully-customized 16GB model for any carrier will now only set you back $399 rather than the $499 it would've originally cost. Sadly, those of you with a woodgrain fetish will still have to pay a premium for those newly-available bamboo backs — $100 to be precise.
Does this ultimately mean you should pick up a Moto X over, say, a Nexus 5? Not necessarily — much as I love what the new Motorola is…

Some more detail on the fate of Winamp and Shoutcast, the legacy digital music services that owner AOL (which also owns TechCrunch) originally planned to shut down but then halted pending a sale. They are not being bought by Microsoft, as we had heard when we first reported news of a sale. The properties are instead being acquired by Radionomy — an international aggregator of online radio stations headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
The Radionomy connection was first noticed by a Carsten Knobloch who saw that Winamp's nameservers, but not Shoutcast's, had been transferred to Radionomy. We have since learned from a reliable source that the deal is for both properties and should be finalised by Friday, if not sooner.
Radionomy has some 6,000 stations in its catalog already, with an…

As 2013 came to an end, many reflected on last year's biggest tech news — and Bitcoin was a serious contender. But the main question remains: why are people interested in Bitcoin?
This whole debate reappeared when Charlie Strossstated that "Bitcoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind — to damage states ability to collect tax and monitor their citizens financial transactions." Paul Krugman then quoted his post, neither denying nor approving this thought.
But Chris Dixon (and Fred Wilson in the comment section) reiterated their strong interest in Bitcoin while sharing that they are both Democrats.
If major Bitcoin enthusiasts don't have any political agenda in mind, then what is the future of Bitcoin? At…

Yesterday, I wrote about The Verge's report that Nokia was furiously working on a low-end phone running a customized version of Google's Android. I said I couldn't figure out a reason why Microsoft — soon to be the owner of Nokia's phone business — would support such an idea.
Now All Things D's Ina Fried, who ranks high on the list of tech's most reliable reporters, says that Nokia's "Normandy" Android phone project is indeed the real deal, and that it's not a given that Microsoft will nix it:
While Normandy has some open-source elements of Android at its core, Nokia would be heavily customizing the look of the software, as well as the services at its core, much as Amazon has with its Kindle line.
According to a Nokia source, the software has a look more similar to Windows Phone than to the "squircle" icons used on the…

Will my home sewing maching sew ultraleather?
Ok i have a singer sewing machine.. i dont have any faux leather here yet but i do have some cheap stereo installation grade vinyl. just to see what my machine was capable of i started sewing a few layers together.. well i was suprised but it sewed 3 layers good and 4 layers decent.. is ultraleather much tougher then this? or will this machine be alright.. its not really a cheap machine at all, but at the same time i dont feel its anything like an actual upholstery machine. however, i wont be using it for a career just hobby stuff on my own car interior..
The vinyl typically isnt the problem. I use Ultraleather all the time, it is actually a better sew than the majority of vinyls out there. It is excellent to work with and is not tough on machines at all. But it is the stack up of materials (seam layers as well as plus pad thicknesses) that is the issue.
What is the model number of the singer you have and do you know if its a walking foot or a slipper foot?
The machine type most have in the home is called a slipper foot as the material just slips between the foot and the feed dog. Thats the little gooved peice that moves up and down and back and forth the foot on the top moves but only slightly to allow the material to "slip" between the gap.
The prefered machine is called a Walking foot. This is easy to identify as it has to feet attached to the top of the head. It basically walks in the manner a rabbit runs. The front moves and then the rear in a large orbit to basically pull the material through with the feed dog acting in the same fashion of a slipper foot.
When you sew an automotive cover you should be tack sewing (sewing close to the edge to hold material together befor final seam is sewn) top surface material (or laminating it with glue as KristKustoms does) to a piece of foam known as plus pad (foam layer bonded to skrim or backing). This material is anywhere from 1/4" to as much as 1" depending on what your doing for style.
This added thickness usually typically requires a walking foot machine.
They are fairly inexpensive (Singer 211 or Juki 563 are plentiful here in Detroit but you market could be different) if you get a used one. One thing I have found is that with a little leg work and a car club network you can usually buy one from someone in a club used and use it and usually unload for at worst a few bucks less than you bought (chaulking the loss up to cost of the interior) in a matter of months when your done (I humbly comment that I have never lost money on a machine but you never know). I have also for a few bucks sewed a persons cover together for them but that is always an adventure as the patterns never walk. If you belong to a club ask around to see if anyone has a machine that they want to either let you rent borrow or buy.
I'd like to make a couple of suggestions.You may want to try a heavier needle and a heavier thread.You may also find a larger stitch works better as it won't cut through the ultra leather like a smaller stich may.I notch out where the two sides have to line up (just like following a dress pattern) I find that all vinyls tend to stretch a bit and you don't want to have to sew it a second time while trying to hide the perforations from the first time.If you do plan on using any piping your zipper foot will work for that.
I'd love to see some pics when you're done.
Well i dont think i will be doing any seat covers myself but maybe other interior parts. ill post pics when i get going..
The Singer 111W and its clones are the way to go
If all you want to do is sew two pieces of Ultraleather together, you can do it with a home sewing machine. Creative Interiors is right, the problem is if you're trying to sew multiple layers of fabric plus sew foam together. A home machine will struggle in that situation.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.

Comments about oreilly Agile User Experience Design:
This is a worthwhile read. Ms. Brown will establish trust with many readers immediately through her summary of the common problems of integrating a visual design/UI-focused resource into a software engineering team practicing agile. She shares, though sometimes in a subtle way, the forcing functions (or inevitable impacts) of the various tactical trade-offs. In an an empathetic manner consistent with someone responsible for solving end users' real problems, Ms. Brown has written a book for solving our own. The only reason this isn't a max-star book is that it hasn't been edited quite as well as the next few iterations should be. Ms. Brown is an expressive (sometimes verbose) writer. A few noticeable spelling mistakes, some extraneous words, and a poor phrase or two could be corrected. Otherwise, this is a fine work from an obviously keen observer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I do not leave feedback often unless the service and/or product was exceptional. Just wanted you to know that the 3 tickets for a St. Louis Blues NHL game I purchased from your site were unbelievable. I knew they would be fairly decent seats when I ordered them. But, having never been to Scottrade center I was blown away to be sitting 9 rows up off center ice for around $60/ticket. We were so close, you could hear the words the players were yelling at one another. These were normally $127/ticket seats. The tickets arrived within 2 days of the order being placed, in mint condition, exactly as described. I will definitely use this service again and recommend it to others."

Please excuse the dry style of some of this post. I was attempting to write a more official-like technical document and realized that I was doing a "brain-dump" that was more suited to a blog-type posting. It started out when I wanted to write up what is now in item #5, then we ran into some other customer issues with poor performance that I thought I'd throw in for good measure. Performance is a very broad topic, so please view the information here as a collection of pointers rather than an exhaustive list of all things Performance.
Troubleshooting Poor Performance on Import
Poor performance when running Imports can be caused by a number of factors, each of which needs to be investigated. At a high level, these are the factors to consider.
- Performance related to the connected data source
- Network performance to the MIIS / ILM SQL database (if it is remote)
- Operations
- General health of the MIIS / ILM SQL database
- Additional Considerations for an Active Directory MA
Note that these are general guidelines based on previous customer support issues and in some cases more targeted troubleshooting is needed. Items 2, 3 and 4 can impact all ILM runs, not just Import.
Here are some suggestions for troubleshooting the various layers:
1. Performance related to the connected data source
For example, if you are having problems with an AD MA – try this.
From the MIIS / ILM machine use one of the standard AD management tools (ADU&C, ADSIEdit, LDP) to connect to the data source and browse to the directory from which you are Importing. If this operation is slow then this needs to be addressed from the Directory Services / Networking perspective.
If you're connecting to a different type of data source, you'll need to find whatever tools are appropriate.
Alternately a network capture might also reveal network latency that could cause the performance degradation.
2. Network performance to the MIIS / ILM SQL database (if it is remote)
MIIS / ILM operations are "chatty" with the backend database. If the SQL database is not on the same server as MIIS / ILM then performance will always be slower.
You can test this by running SQL management tools on the MIIS / ILM server and querying the backend database to test how responsive it is.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must take care not to change any of the data in the database.
As with #1, a network capture could reveal network latency.
Don't see this as a recommendation to run SQL locally to ILM, there is a tradeoff between performance and scalability, reliability and various other "bilities".
3. Operations. Running multiple MA's at the same time can cause performance degradation. You can look at the Run Histories to see if there was any overlap between previous runs. You can prevent this situation in a number of ways.
- Place the calls to all runs in the same batch file to guarantee that they run sequentially.
- Use code to make sure no other MA runs are in progress. Take a look at the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus Method of the MIIS_ManagementAgent Class in the ILM Developer Reference.
4. General health of the MIIS / ILM SQL database – Of course, this will apply to all ILM operations, not just Imports.
Issues that have been observed to adversely impact ILM performance in general are
- Index fragmentation
- Database size, usually caused by not clearing Run Histories periodically
For further information on maintaining a healthy database, please refer to the "Care and Feeding of MIIS SQL Server Database" on http://www.ilmbestpractices.com/
(Note that this is a 3rd party site and Microsoft is not responsible for its content)
5. Additional Considerations for an Active Directory MA
The MA configuration of excluded or included OU's as well as the object types in those OU's can have an impact.
Consider the following scenario: You have a parent OU named Departments, and two child OU's named HR and Accounting. You want to import users from Accounting but not from the HR OU. One way to configure this in the MA properties is to select the Departments OU, at the top of the treeview, then deselect HR at the lower level. In this example it is more efficient to deselect the Departments OU then select the Accounting OU individually.
Another consideration is group membership. Let's modify the example above, and this time you have group objects in the Accounting OU that you want to Import that also contain members from the HR OU (not a great example, but it serves to make the point).
On Import, ILM looks at the member attribute of the group, it sees that it has n members and will create n placeholder objects in the MA's connector space. It cannot resolve the placeholder objects to user objects from the HR OU because they are in an OU that is out of scope or excluded. You should avoid importing groups whose members are in an OU that is not imported.
The question of whether or not to Import and synchronize groups leads to some discussions that I'm not going to get into here, just a couple of quick tips. Obviously if you're not interested in synchronizing groups then don't select "group" in the Object types MA property. If you are synchronizing groups then you'll probably notice that as your groups get larger the synchronization performance gets exponentially worse, usually once the group membership gets up into the thousands. Our recommendation is to limit the number of users in your groups; there are more sophisticated approaches that we might tackle on this blog some time in the future.
If you're a savvy user reading this – and you've made it this far – you might wonder why I'm bringing up such obvious points, but remember, the Identity support team gets tickets from the entire spectrum.

Lieberman Software Outlines Best Practices for Organizations Facing Advanced Persistent Threats
(Los Angeles, CA – July 29, 2014) With a porous network perimeter, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) like pass-the-hash, dependence on IT contractors, ineffective firewalls and anti-malware tools, and the understanding that intruders are likely already within most IT environments – what are the best practices to minimize persistent unauthorized access?
At Black Hat USA 2014, Philip Lieberman, noted cybersecurity expert and president of Lieberman Software Corporation, will discuss how privileged identity management and privileged access management offers Just In Time Access to minimize lateral motion on the network, time limit the value of credentials, and restrict the scope of access to only authorized users.
The session, titled "Just In Time Access via Privilege Management" will be presented on Wednesday, August 6. Lieberman Software is a Platinum Sponsor of Black Hat USA and will demonstrate its privilege management technology in Booth 511 at the conference, being held August 2-7 in Las Vegas.
Automation of Credential Management Key to Surviving Cyber Attacks
"As more and more security breaches are being uncovered in large enterprises, organizations should take a much more stringent approach to securing privileged access," Lieberman said. "In order to improve security against today's advanced nation-state attacks and APTs, privileged account passwords should be automatically audited and updated on a daily, or even hourly, basis. If these credentials are only changed on a monthly, quarterly or annual frequency, think about the damage a cybercriminal can do in that time with unlimited access into an organization's critical systems? They could easily access and extract highly sensitive data at will."
Lieberman Software's Enterprise Random Password Manager (ERPM) is a privilege management platform that automatically detects, secures and audits privileged accounts throughout the cross-platform enterprise, both on-premises and in the cloud. It ensures that privileged identities are only available on a temporary, audited basis to prevent unauthorized and anonymous access to systems with sensitive data. With ERPM, even if an attack manages to obtain user names and passwords, they cannot be used to leapfrog from system to system within the environment.
For more information see www.liebsoft.com/erpm.

That's pretty much it heh... Do you use velcro? I tried but it peels right off... :\ I can't really sew into leather... would fabric glue help? How do you guys do it? Thanks!
That's pretty much it heh... Do you use velcro? I tried but it peels right off... :\ I can't really sew into leather... would fabric glue help? How do you guys do it? Thanks!
hey bud, I use velcro on the back of the strap. That keeps it in place, then when you wear the belt, they hold in place due to the fit of the belt to your body.
Hope that helps.
Thanks bro. That is what I am doing now I just notice that the velcro on the back of the strap starts peeling overtime... it still stays but I was wondering if there was a solution to that. Sidenote, how are those awesome packs coming?
I feed the belt through the loops on the Pouches
like this;
Ah yes, but I am ESB :\ heh...
i was tryin to figure out if i could add snaps...
i need to look at some pics,but if the pouches hang behind the ammo boxes, then snaps is the way to go id think.
EDIT: Yup they hang behind the ammo boxes,so id add snaps, probably on the backs of the ammo boxes themselves, doing it this way would also keep the boxes from sliding apart.
Last edited by Darth Voorhees; May 19, 2009 at 6:54 PM.
I ran a 2 inch webbing through the back of the ammo boxes on the backside of the belt, ran the webbing through the loop of my pouches and riveted it just to the webbing to itself off on on end. Basically just making a horizontal secure loop behind each set of ammo boxes. Way less destrutive and permanent than buttons, snaps and/or velcro...
I can post pics later on to show it better. It works well for me and if I ever wanted to upgrade/sell all I'd have to do is drill out the rivets from the webbing.
I'd be very curious to see pics of that escho34 if you ever have some spare time
It's a snap.
Well, here you go...Ask away if you have any questions. It's a super simple way to do this. In place of rivets you could use almost anything, snaps, velcro, hot glue, etc. I just fine this way way easy, less damaging to the belt and easy to remove to sell or upgrade belt and/or pouches...
Esho, nice work. I'm gonna go that route!
No sweat...glad I could help. It should take about 10 minutes to get it all set. Just make sure you use 2 inch webbing so the pouches don't droop!
OooOOoO i like that method escho34! nice job! i may just do that as well! i may "up" it one notch and use a strip of leather,since i have some scrap layin around.
I like your idea on that Escho!!!! Think i will swith over to that as well!!!

NASA Preparing to Explore Earth-Moon Libration Point 2

The Lagrange points for the Earth-moon system
(Source: space.com)
Exploration and potential use of EML-2 provide a platform for radio astronomy as well as solar and Earth observation
NASA is in the midst of developing a team that will explore an area in space called the Earth-moon libration point 2 (EML-2).
A memo released by NASA on February 3 spells out a plan for exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, where EML-2 will be one of the exploration points. The memo was written by William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for human exploration and operations.
NASA said EML-2 could be the first step in the "capability-driven" exploration of other space sites like asteroids, the moon and Mars. U.S. President Barack Obama challenged NASA to put a man on an asteroid by 2025 and
explore Mars in 2030
There are five libration points, or Lagrangian points, which mark positions where the combined gravitational pull of two large masses provides the centripetal force needed to rotate with them. This combined gravitational pull of the two large masses balance each other out, and spacecraft is able to basically park in this stationary spot.
Exploration and potential use of EML-2, which is located
near the lunar
far side, could open up the use of telerobotic science on the far side of the moon and provide a platform for radio astronomy as well as solar and Earth observation. It could also enable assembly and servicing of satellites and telescopes. NASA sees the effort eventually creating international partnerships as well as new opportunities with commercial companies and academic institutions.
The memo plotted six strategic principles for exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, such as incorporating significant international participation that leverages current International Space Station partnerships; U.S. commercial business opportunities to further enhance the space station logistics market with a goal of reducing costs and allowing for private-sector innovation; multiuse or reusable in-space infrastructure that allows a capability to be developed and reused over time for a variety of exploration destinations; the application of technologies for near-term applications while focusing research and development of new technologies to reduce costs, improve safety and increase mission capture over the longer term; demonstrated affordability across the project life cycle, and Near-term mission opportunities with a well-defined cadence of compelling missions providing for an incremental buildup of capabilities to perform more complex missions over time.
If NASA were to use this human-tended EML-2 waypoint, it would be the farthest humans have traveled from Earth. To make this possible, NASA has recruited a study team to create near-term missions to EML-2. The study is to be completed by March 30, 2012.
In addition, Lockheed Martin and the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR) Center are collaborating to plan an Orion mission that would go into a halo orbit of EML-2 above the
far side of the moon
. According to the LUNAR Center, EML-2 travels would take astronauts 15 percent further from Earth than Apollo astronauts and keep them in deep space nearly three times longer.
"This is extremely exciting from both the exploration and science sides," said Jack Burns, director of the LUNAR Center. "This mission concept seems to be really taking off now because it is unique and offers the prospects of doing something significant outside of low-Earth orbit within this decade."
The Christian Science Monitor
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

The Exuberance of the Helen Hayes Awards
A circus troupe sat in front of me at the 28th annual Helen Hayes Awards at the Warner Theatre April 23, or at least it felt like that.
At this annual bash and awards show for the Washington theater community, actors, designers, directors and entire companies become winners but somehow never losers. Unlike the Tonys, the Oscars or the Emmys, there's nary a snide comment--certainly not on stage, but who knows what goes on in the bathrooms--or cause consciousness-raising, or political statements. Nevertheless, on Monday evening, there were politicians also on stage, reveling--can you believe it?--in the spotlight.
And there was the cast and company of Signature Theatre's "Hairspray" (which starred D.C. cultural critic Robert Aubrey Davis as Edna), up for a number of awards, including outstanding resident musical ensemble. One member of said ensemble (she had suffered an injury during a performance of the show) was Kara Tameika Watkins, just dazzling in a red-gown-crutches ensemble which she brought off with remarkable aplomb, with a little help from her mom.
I was sitting right behind them in row Y in the back, and I asked Watkins's mother, Sheila, if they had thought about what would happen if they would win. Mom shook her head and said, "She'll be just fine."
You know how this story ends.
Up on stage, a voice rings out: "And the outstanding ensemble, resident musical is...."
"Hairspray, Signature Theatre."
They squealed, they yelled, they screamed, they jumped out of their seats, and, what, maybe 50, I don't know exactly how many, struggled into the aisles as if they had just opened the doors at Walmart for the first hours of Christmas shopping. Right there in the middle, wielding and walking and, I thought, running with her crutches was the vision in red, Kara Tameika Watkins.
They were up there, hugging each other, jumping up and down. Davis, at the mike but not in costume, showered them with eloquence, erudition and theater love, as he thanked them for accepting him in their midst.
It was a Helen Hayes moment--and a "theatreWashington" moment--one of many that seem to become an instant part of the lore and legend of each and every one of the 28 awards nights, all but two of which I've attended. I am a lot older than the young Ms. Watkins, but for a shining moment I felt, if not just as young, a little less old.
"Hairspray" was a big winner that night--the show's super-charged star Carolyn Cole got best actress kudos in a resident musical, and the show itself was named Best Resident Musical
But that noise in the back--including the very loud sound of "The Sound of Music" supporters, is always something that seems unique to these awards, and mark it as a celebration not a competition. Sure, you can grouse about the results, the judges, the critics, the ties, the process and make perfect sense while you propose restructuring plans.
But the night isn't about making sense. It's about theater, which hardly ever makes perfect sense--oh, that nicely made play--but beats with the fever of heart, soul and imagination, and in this case, about a community.
"I don't know, it hardly seems so local any more," I heard somebody say in the street. "It's getting a little big."
Well, here's a scoop: Washington's theater world has indeed gotten bigger with 805 productions, 84 theaters, 9,903 performances and 2,261,509 audience members, according to the stats in the program. These numbers do not include dozens, maybe hundreds of critics, writers and freeloaders who have the audacity to take their tickets and still feel free to complain about what they've seen.
But I don't think it has gotten too big for its britches, not even, and especially during the course of the Helen Hayes Awards. There are always ghosts in the house, puns in the air, and all these people to thank. If the first words spoken by a recipient was, "Wow" (I think it was Mark Acito, author of "Birds of a Feather" at the rising Hub Theatre in Virginia), it was not the last time the word was heard. It was topped only by the all-purpose "amazing," a word--like "dude"--which should be retired or at least allowed to be used only once by each winner.
At these awards there are always luminaries who are honored and present for their star power--in the past we have had everyone from Angela Lansbury to Derek Jacoby. This year, we had Kevin Spacey.
Spacey was the recipient of the Helen Hayes Tribute--sponsored by Washington uber-theater benefactor and philantropist Jaylee Mead--and the man knows how to put on a show.
Spacey has roots here, as he acknowledged, but more than that he is one of those stage actors who became a big movie star (two Oscars), but never abandoned the stage, supporting young actors and now being the American head of the classic Old Vic in London.
He's also an FOB--Friend of Bill--former President Bill Clinton who showed up in the form of a video tribute to Spacey. Spacey could have done it himself--he gave a wicked, thickly corn-pone accented impression of Clinton.
We remember Spacey here at the early stages of his stage career: awkwardly as the son to Liv Ullman's mother in Ibsen's "Ghosts" at the Kennedy Center ("My first Broadway play," he said.); splendidly as the son to Colleen Dewhurst's actress mother in Peter Sellars's pitch-perfect "A Seagull" at the Kennedy Center; superbly as the son to Jack Lemmon's father in Jason Miller's strange version of O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" at the National Theatre; and winningly as the mobster uncle in Neil Simon's "Lost In Yonkers."
Spacey--he won Oscars for "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty"--was mindful of giving back. "I learned that from Lemmon, my mentor, my friend," he said.
He was eloquent, funny, inspiring and profane--he managed to drop the F-word not once but twice, tying Robin Williams's old record from the Mark Twain Awards, or maybe not.
The F word is easy. Pronouncing the names of many of the Synetic Theater performers and artists of the theatre company which specializes in a form of silent and action theatre created by the company's directors Irina and Paata Tsikurishvili is not so easy, nor is spelling them. Nevertheless, the company's production of "King Lear" (silent Shakespeare) won several awards, including outstanding ensemble.
There were outsiders here: elected officials and media types like Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans, who read the city-council official proclamation for theatreWashington's theater week, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
But mostly, there were these our players, our magic makers, such as Mitchell Hebert, who won best actor for Theater J's quasi-Arthur Miller substitute in "All Fall Down," Ted van Griethuysen, for "Dogberry," praising his comrade-in-arms Floyd King. "Ruined," the great play at Arena grabbed only one award, but it was the one that really counts -- "outstanding resident play." Adventure Theater under Michael Bobbitt continued its amazing rise with several awards. Holly Twyford was singing and hoofing her heart out. There were the ghosts of Helen Hayes and James MacArthur.
And, of course, the girl in red, her mom, all the kids screaming and yelling their hearts out.

The last week's gorgeous weather wasn't just an unusually pleasant Indian summer. It was a reminder that summers are taking longer to bow out. A Gazette analysis of historical weather data shows that average temperatures in September have been higher than in the past, with late-month peaks happening later and with more intensity.
Montrealers joined hundreds of thousands of people marching in cities around the globe Sunday to press world leaders to take significant action at a major climate summit Tuesday in New York City. Unfortunately, their urgent message seems to have been lost on Prime Minister Stephen Harper. While U.S. President Barack Obama will address the United Nations climate gathering, Harper will not, though Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq will be in attendance. Harper will appear at a separate climate dinner, but he has decided to join his counterparts from China and India, both major greenhouse-gas emitters, in taking a pass on the main event — a move that registers as a snub in diplomatic circles.

Re: "Top climate scientists ask environmentalists to support nuclear power in climate battle" (Gazette online, Nov. 3) I am an environmentalist who does not believe that nuclear power is the answer to global warming.

USC Gets Defensive, Moves To MPSF Semis
April 27, 2012
STANFORD, CALIF. - The No. 3 USC women's water polo team pitched a near-shutout today in the MPSF first round with an 8-1 win over No. 6 seed San Jose State. With Olympian-to-be Flora Bolonyai back in the cage, the Trojan defense was clicking, and the offense kicked into gear in the third period to put the Spartans out of reach. Now 20-4 overall, USC advances to face rival UCLA tomorrow in the MPSF semifinals at 4 p.m. at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center.
Patricia Jancso and Monica Vavic each plugged in a pair of goals to lead the Trojan offense, while Bolonyai wrapped up 12 saves in the winning effort.
USC missed on its first 6-on-5 chance of the game, but got a defensive boost at the other end with a decisive save from Bolonyai against a San Jose State counterattack. Colleen O'Donnell would clock in with the first goal of the day for the Trojans with a quick finish to a USC 6-on-5 opportunity, and after a couple USC field blocks on the defensive end the Trojans would go up 2-0 on a Patricia Jancso goal with 26 seconds to go in the first.
San Jose State got on the board and tightened things to 2-1 with a crosscage score from Anna Natalizio early in the second frame, but Bolonyai took the wind out of the Spartans' sails a bit later with a 5-on-6 save to keep it a one-goal game. In the last minute before the break, USC got up on another 6-on-5 and then got to the 5-meter penalty stripe when the Spartans' excluded player failed to clear the field of play. Monica Vavic ripped in the penalty shot, and USC had a 3-1 lead for halftime.
The Trojans were all business on both ends in the third. Madeline Rosenthal earned another 5-meter penalty shot for USC, and Vavic drilled another. Vavic would next set up Nicolina McCall for a bar-in goal that boosted USC ahead 5-1 just two minutes into the third period. Minutes later, a blast from Jancso pumped the Trojan advantage to 6-1, and then Dominique Sardo slotted a one-on-one score through to make it 7-1 Trojans. Again, Bolonyai would back up the Trojan defense with another timely save against a San Jose State 6-on-5, and USC kept the Spartans silent in the third. In the fourth, both teams traded 6-on-5 opportunities, but only the Trojans would make good. On USC's first advantage of the frame, Sardo hit Blair Moody for a bullet that took USC to an 8-1 lead. The rest of the power plays would surprisingly pass scorelessly both teams. USC senior goalie Morgan Vickers took over the cage late in the game and preserved USC's second-half shutout with a 5-on-6 save that wrapped up the day's action for the Women of Troy.
USC is looking for its first win of the year over UCLA in tomorrow's semifinal clash. The Bruins have edged out the Trojans in one-goal decisions twice this season. USC and UCLA will face off tomorrow (April 28) at 4 p.m. in the MPSF Semifinals at Avery Aquatic Center in Palo Alto.

It's a good thing that Maryland is all about crab cakes and football, because the Orioles suck at baseball.
Boston managed a 3-1 victory in a game that didn't seem that close. Orioles starter Jeremy Gurthrie surrendered only three runs in 5 2/3 innings despite giving up 9 hits and 3 walks. A lack of clutch hitting (the Sox were only 2-10 with runners in scoring position) prevented a blowout as Boston improved to 14-2 against Baltimore this season.
Clay Buchholz, more effective than sharp, allowed one run over six innings to improve to 6-3 on the season, while Guthrie dropped to 10-15.
Left fielder Jason Bay left the game with nebulous "flu-like symptoms" after hitting his 34th homer in the fourth inning. Hell, in Mickey Mantle's day, "flu-like symptoms" was code for "hangover." Of course, Jason Bay looks like a Mormon, so it's hard to imagine him closing down Daisy Buchanan's.
The Sox Bullpen contributed three scoreless innings, including a 1-2-3 ninth by Jonathan Papelbon who earned his 37th save . . . Jacoby Ellsbury stole his league-leading 62nd base of the season . . . Kevin Youkilis rejoined the starting lineup, and went 0-4 with a walk

Men's Basketball Coaches
Frank Burnell
Head Coach
(904) 470-8399
A native of Jacksonville, FL, Frank Burnell returned to his hometown in 2011 with plans on restoring the men's basketball program at Edward Waters College (EWC) back to prominence. With over 25 years of coaching experience, he also brings championship pedigree as both a player and head coach on the prep, college, and professional levels.
Burnell comes to EWC after two stints as a head coach and assistant at Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State College). His first stint at DBCC was from 1993-2003 where he was the head coach of the men's basketball program. During that time, his teams had some of the most successful runs in the history of junior college basketball in the State of Florida, compiling a record of 213-101. Burnell lead the Falcons to four Mid-Florida Conference regular season championships, two Mid-Florida Conference Tournament championships, and a Florida Community College Activities Association state championship in 1999. He was also named Mid-Florida Conference Coach of the Year in 1999, 2001, & 2002 and Florida Junior College Coach of the Year (District VIII) in 1999. For his achievements as the head coach at DBCC, Burnell was inducted into the Florida Community College Activities Association Coaches Hall of Fame in 2005. After leaving the program in 2003, Burnell returned to DBCC in 2009 as an assistant coach under current Falcons head coach Anthony Andre.
In 2003, Burnell became an assistant coach at the University of South Florida in Tampa under then head coach Robert McCullum. During his four year period in Tampa, Burnell played an instrumental part in rebuilding a program that was transitioning from Conference USA to the powerful Big East Conference. Burnell assisted with the Bulls' front line players, supervised the team's scheduling & academics, and helped with the teams' scouting responsibilities.
Burnell began his coaching career in 1986 at his alma mater, Stetson University in Deland where he coached under legendary head coach Glenn Wilkes. Burnell spent seven years as an assistant at Stetson and it was there that he got his opportunity to grow as a coach on the collegiate level.
Burnell earned a Bachelor's of Arts Degree from Stetson in 1985 after a sterling career on the basketball floor for the Hatters. Burnell was a four-year letterman, the captain of his team during his senior season, and was named the team's Most Valuable Player during his Junior & Senior seasons. Burnell is still in the Hatters' record books in scoring 1,491 points (14.1 points per game average) over his four year career, a mark which currently ranks seventh on Stetson's all-time scoring list. He scored 556 points (19.9 ppg) in his senior season which also ranks seventh on the all-time single-season list.
Following his playing career at Stetson, Burnell entered the ranks of professional basketball, playing for two years (1983-85) for the Puerto Rico Coquis of the Continental Basketball Association CBA).
Locally, Burnell is most known for his prowess on the basketball floor as a player at Jean Ribault High School from 1976-1979 under Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Hall of Fame coach, the late Bernard Wilkes. Burnell attributes the success that he had on the floor as a player and as a coach to Coach Wilkes.
Burnell and his wife Teri have two sons, Kevin and Jason.

Rodriguez, Farias victorious
Bantamweight Sebastian Daniel Rodriguez (12-1, 5 KOs) of Argentina spectacuarly knocked out Manuel Herrera (16-7-2, 6 KOs) of Colombia in the fourth round of a WBC Latino bantamweight title fight on Saturday night at the Polideportivo Troncos del Talar, El Talar de Pacheco in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It looked like Rodriguez would finish Herrera off in a matter of seconds as he hurt Herrera with the first punch he threw which was a left hook. Rodriguez had Herrera pinned against the ropes and a few moments later unloaded with a series of unanswered punches but Herrera weathered the storm. Rounds two and three were relatively tame in comparison to round one. In round four, Rodriguez came out looking for the knockout and found it when again he trapped Herrera against the ropes and landed a series of 1-2 powershots that sent Herrera crashing to the mat where he was counted out. The card was promoted by Osvaldo Rivero.
Erica Anabella Farias of Argentina (8-0, 4 KOs) upset champion Darys Esther Pardo (22-8-3, 17 KOs) of Colombia by way of a 8th round TKO to win the interim WBC female lightweight title. Pardo dominated the fight all the way with precise power combinations. Aside from the pounding she received from Farias all night long Pardo had to deal with a cut and swelling over her left eye. Farias dropped Pardo in round 5 but could not follow up as the bell rang ending the round. In round 8 a brutal overhand right by Farias sent Pardo face first hard to the canvas. Pardo amazingly beat the count but the referee wisely stopped the bout as she was on very unsteady legs.
