The Harvest Collection offers picnic table charm with a cosmopolitan flair. The rustic, casual construction offers a comfortable place to relax, while details like subtle scallops and curved accents create a stylish look. And like all Uwharrie products, the Harvest collection offers sturdy, all-weather pressure-treated pine construction to withstand the elements. This adorable picnic style chair offers comfortable seating for your child's favorite outdoor play area. Now the same ergonomic comfort and classic styling of adult Uwharrie furniture is available on a child-sized scale! The Harvest Collection pieces are designed to coordinate with virtually all other Uwharrie Chair series. Choose from a natural finish which can be stained if desired, or from a selection of finish colors which exhibit a hand-crafted, folk art quality.
Uwharrie Chairs require no additional protection from exposure to the weather, aging with rustic beauty along with their environment. But even as nature matures your furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for years to come.
Pristine: 3 to 4 coats of paint and no sanding
Distressed: 3 to 4 coats of paint and light sanding on edges
All Uwharrie pieces are lightly distressed and sanded to reveal bare wood in random areas. This is not a flaw, and is meant to enhance the rustic character of the furniture. This rustic quality is enhanced over time as the products are exposed to the elements. Natural aging effects such as some paint loss and surface cracking, and a darkening of exposed wood is normal.

Philosophy of International Law (LAWS5175)
This course examines and evaluates traditional theories of law through the lens of their deployment in the changing context of world society and global governance. It has been supposed that there is no difference in kind between the law internal to a state, and that which exists in the global arena. But the rapid development of norms and institutions used in global governance over the last half century has cast doubt on this assumption. The course surveys leading theories of law and attempt to apply them to the vast and evolving array of international law-related activity. Topics include the nature and role of customary law, enforcement and compliance, transnational authority, 'hard' and 'soft' law, human rights, and international responsibility, among others.

I've put together some tips for getting together your weekly homemaking routine and a look at some others in history and around the web.
What is one of those great ideas that I wonder how I got along before it came along?
My Weekly Homemaking Routine.
Without it I'm just a mess. My house is a mess, I'm frazzled, I forget to do things, we run out of things, and I'm running it to catch up.
The house doesn't run as smooth if I'm not following My schedule. That's for sure.
It all started years ago. I had a nice weekly and daily to-do routine in the workplace and actually even had a shred of a routine for the home that was never put to paper but was committed to memory. The most I can remember is that my husband and I would clean the bathrooms every Thursday night. Something about a clean bathroom spoke to us and we kept them clean as a couple. We had two bathrooms and so we had a little contest as to who could finish cleaning their's first. His military background came into play here and he was so thorough and detailed. I took notes. Very inspiring. I also grocery shopped on Saturday (due to the busy work week).
Then children came along. Lots of them because we became foster to adopt parents for the tiniest and fragilest of tots. And I became a stay at home mom. I began to notice more things needing to be done in the home and they would sort of escape my notice until the whole house seemed to be a mess! This was very aggravating.
But at the same time I was very organized with the children. I kept notes and charts on their sleep habits, feeding times, parental visits and the like. The case workers were impressed. And it also led me to start revamping how I did things at home. Since I had to work in cleaning, cooking and shopping around doctor visits (medically fragile), in home visits, parental visits, and more naturally I started checklists, forms and such to keep track of things.
Using an outline of steps Emily Barnes lists in her one of her many wonderful and useful homemaking books I made up my Weekly Homemaking Routine and placed it in my Home Management Binder . My home management binder was initially my work planner. It also zipped up (my current one does not) and I could carry it to and from appointments. It was a work of art.
Now some may think a weekly homemaking routine is a bit of a silly idea. I mean goodness all this focus on the basics of taking care of home? But why not? I personally take my homemaking seriously. I feel better knowing my family can find what they need, has what they need, and that the needs that I'm capable of meeting are met. Clean clothing, yummy food, a nice smelling and clean bathroom, a well made bed (I'm into that), pleasant surroundings and a wife/mommy who is not stressed out because she gets very irritated if the house is a mess, not unlived in, but just a mess.
A weekly homemaking routine to the rescue!
So what exactly is a Weekly Homemaking Routine?
Well my weekly homemaking routine reminds me of what I need to do on any given day so that things don't go undone. It's a schedule that does generally change.
When you are manager of your home that means you're in charge of making sure things in the home get done and run smoothly and what better way than to set up a weekly routine to guide you along?
Here is an example of my weekly homemaking routine…
- Monday – Clean bathrooms and wash all kitchen and bathroom laundry.
- Tuesday – Indoor plant care and iron anything needing ironing from the day before. Clean kitchen. Launder whites.
- Wednesday – Errands (library, shopping with mom) Clean and declutter office area. Church music paperwork.
- Thursday – Purge fridge. Make grocery list. Cut coupons. And start planning next week's menu.
- Friday – Wash all bedding. Vacuum house.
- Saturday – Baking day. Creative day.
- Sunday – Lord's Day, Day of Rest
This a very simple example of my weekly homemaking routine. These are some of the things I do each week to keep the home life running smoothly. As you can see I don't do the same thing every day. I don't need to. I don't need to run errands every day, nor do I need to plan my menu's on a daily basis. This routine does not show homeschool activities or my work. It is an outline to remind me of the perfect day of MY week to get a household chore done.
Your Turn
So how about putting together your own weekly homemaking routine and using a lovely piece of paper post or put it in a place you check often. You know, to inspire you. Next to the family calendar, in your day planner, or a decorative notebook you use to keep notes.
If you haven't given thought to what you would like to accomplish in your home each week start doing that too. Look at your patterns. Do you grocery shop on a certain day. Do you notice that certain times of the week you have more free time than others and maybe could tackle some of those pending home projects. How about scheduling 15 minutes in each day to clean up an especially messy room? What about those family meals? Are you struggling each day to figure out what is for dinner? Choose one day a week to figure out what would be for dinner the next week. Now put this all to paper. Pretty paper.
As time goes on if your weekly homemaking routine is not working change it. Simple as that. Your routines and schedules are a forever changing thing.

SPORTS>>Jacksonville No. 3 seed in East, tops in tie games
Leader sportswriter
Jacksonville continued its tying trend for the final two matches of the 6A-East Conference schedule. The Red Devils went into Fridays game with Mountain Home with five ties on their record, and a 1-1 result against the Bombers made it six. To add to their already-unique record, Jacksonville tied with Jonesboro on Monday to bring the Devils regular season record to 7-2-7.
Ive never heard of seven ties in a soccer season, Jacksonville coach Leighton Canon said. Its pretty unique, but I do think the close game with Jonesboro will give us some momentum heading into the state tournament.
Jonesboro looked to repeat a 3-1 win over the Red Devils just two weeks earlier, rushing out to a 2-0 lead in the opening minutes of the match. Jimmy Polatsidis put the Red Devils on the board before the end of the first half with a goal, and senior standout Manuel Alvidrez scored the final two goals for Jacksonville in the second half with a penalty kick, followed by a goal in the final two minutes of the game that set the tying final result.
Alvidrez had a shot at the win in the closing seconds with another free-kick opportunity, but flipped the ball over the goal on the attempt, leaving the score deadlocked at three goals each.
Not only did it mark the seventh tie for the Red Devils this season, it was their fourth consecutive tie in conference action. Jacksonville will end up as the No. 3 seed from the East conference, and will take on Little Rock Hall, the No. 6 seed from the 6A-South, in the first round of the state soccer tournament in Texarkana at noon.
Although the girls team will not be making a playoff appearance this year, the Lady Red Devils showed a slight improvement from last years winless season. Jacksonville beat Sylvan Hills for their first win in two seasons, and recorded a tie with Mountain Home. The Lady Devils were not able to carry the momentum into the last week of the schedule, however, losing to Mountain Home 4-0 and finishing the year with a 5-0 loss to Jonesboro.

Medibank Private officially for sale
The privatisation of Medibank Private, estimated to be worth $4 billion, could invigorate a sharemarket hungry for new opportunities and deliver a temporary boost to the federal budget.
The government plans to float the health insurer within 15 months and is preparing to hire investment bankers and lawyers. It will be the largest government business to go public since Queensland sold rail freight operator QR National in 2010. That company is now called
Finance Minister
Analysts say it is likely the private health insurer has maintained the $4 billion valuation placed on it by the Howard government in 2007.
A government-owned business such as Medibank would be attractive to individual investors and the company has opportunities to grow, Nomura analyst
"Medibank has such a prominent and powerful brand in Australia," he said.
"There's a big opportunity to build on the chassis of private health insurance operations to begin pushing even harder into supplementary lines of business."
Philo Capital fund manager
"Unlike in private equity, there are very few incentives for managers in Medibank Private to cut corners to dress it up for the sale," he said.
"It's likely to have a few less nasty surprises."
After a period of low growth, Medibank posted an 84 per cent increase in net profit after tax in 2012-13 from the previous year to $232.7 million.
Medibank chief executive George Savvides welcomed the sale, and said it would not affect the health insurer's daily operations.
"We welcome the Government's decision today, we're 37 years old, we have a wonderful inheritance and a brand that people trust. Let me reassure you that the Medibank Australians have trusted for years is the very same Medibank that will continue to look after your health well into the future," Mr Savvides said.
Healthcare rebates should be restored in full first and not means tested, a step that would encourage more members to sign up and increase Medibank's valuation, he argued.
"An IPO before the anti-competitive mess of the private health insurance industry regulation and subsidy is cleaned up will not net the best price for the government," he said.
The timing of the sale and release of a prospectus has not yet been set, nor the number of shares that will be allocated to retail and institutional investors.
"With a focus on evolving market conditions, we'll make a judgment, and when we're satisfied that the most appropriate window for a sale is present to maximise net proceeds and achieve all of the other objectives the government has in relation to that sale, then we'll move ahead," Senator Cormann said.
Senator Cormann predicted wide-ranging interest from investors but said no individual would be able to purchase more than 15 per cent of the shares.
The proceeds from the sale will be included as revenue in the 2014-15 budget but how much it is worth will not be obvious in the budget papers.
The sale will give a temporary boost to the government's finances but it will permanently lose dividends from one of its most profitable assets. Medibank paid $675.9 million to the Labor government in its last three years in office .
"The impact on deficit from today's decisions is quite straight forward. The government in one move adds in the order of about half a billion dollars to Australia's deficit each year," shadow finance minister
When floated Medibank will join NIB as the only listed health insurers in Australia. Three new board members have been added to the Medibank board in preparation for the sale, including lawyer
Senator Cormann said there was no reason to suggest health insurance premiums would rise because of the sale.
"Medibank would need to continue to compete against other funds for customers and would need to continue to comply with all of the relevant regulatory requirements around premium change," he said.
Separately, as the major parties continued to trade barbs over the budget, the government produced figures combating Labor modelling that showed the budget would be in surplus within five years and reach a $34 billion surplus by 2023 if the government maintained the same assumptions and policy settings used by Treasury in the Pre-Election and Fiscal Outlook.
Crucially, this modelling assumed spending growth would be capped at 2 per cent, in line with Labor's stated ambition.
But spending was set to accelerate well beyond 2 per cent to 6 per cent in 2017-17. By 2023-24, the budget would be $55 billion worse off than the PBO modelling claimed.

For a person enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare, navigating those systems simultaneously can be a nightmare. But that is changing. Idaho Medicaid is learning from other states and implementing innovative solutions to better coordinate benefits and manage costs for people in those programs.
People who are eligible for benefits in both programs typically have more than four times the healthcare expenses than Medicare-only beneficiaries. They also have a higher prevalence of complex and chronic health conditions than the general population and must navigate two benefit systems that were not designed to work together.
Idaho Medicaid is proud to offer a coordinated health plan for most Idaho residents who are eligible and enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B and full Medicaid coverage. This program, the Medicare-Medicaid Coordinated Plan (MMCP), offers one set of comprehensive benefits, one accountable entity to coordinate the navigation and delivery of services, and one care management team to develop care plans and coordinate benefits.
The MMCP is administered by Blue Cross of Idaho. The name of this plan is True Blue Special Needs Plan, and it is designed to address members' specific needs by providing a Care Coordinator to serve as a central point of contact to integrate each member's healthcare needs. The True Blue Special Needs Plan covers all medically necessary and preventive services covered under Medicare Part A, Part B, and Part D prescription drug coverage as well as services covered by Medicaid, including:
The plan also covers additional services over and above original Medicare and Medicaid, such as:
This plan is available to Idaho residents who are eligible and who are 21 or older who do not have Medicare as a result of having end-stage renal disease and live in one of these Idaho counties:
Starting January 1, 2016, the plan will be available in all Idaho counties except Franklin and Lemhi counties. Eligible individuals may enroll at any time, and their coverage will begin the month after they enroll. Eligible Idahoans interested in enrolling or in learning more about the plan can call Blue Cross of Idaho at (888) 495-2583 or visit www.TrueBluesnp.com.
To more effectively integrate the Medicare and Medicaid programs, CMS is partnering with states, health care providers, caregivers and beneficiaries to improve quality, reduce costs and improve the dual eligible beneficiary experience. This coordinated effort seeks to transcend boundaries and facilitate a national conversation with stakeholders from around the country to identify opportunities for alignments and improve the two programs. With this initiative from CMS and the directive from House Bill 260, Idaho Medicaid is designing a program to better coordinate care for dual eligible individuals.
To meet CMS requirements, Idaho must develop a detailed model describing how we will structure and implement an integrated program consistent with the following:

SCSU Basketball Signs 2 Players
The St. Cloud State men's basketball team signed two players to National Letters of intent Thursday. The two players are 6'3 wing Scottie Stone from Melrose and 6'9 post player Payton Plagge of Sheffield, Iowa. Stone averaged 26 points a game and shot 40 percent from 3-point range as a junior at Melrose. In 3 varsity seasons Plagge has scored 956 points and has averaged 13 points a game. He's also shot 62 percent from the field.

Think the correction is the beginning of some bigger downturn? Well, put your money where your mouth is with inverse ETFs that can generate two times or even three times the profits of a short-side strategy.
Just be sure you are confident in your strategy — because three times the profits can turn into three times the losses in a hurry should you bet wrong.
Inverse funds, also known as short ETFs, are simple in concept: They are designed to go up as the underlying assets go down.
Leveraged short funds go one step further. Through a complex investment strategy that involves derivatives and futures contracts, a company makes big-time directional bets on the market that a typical retail investor cannot. These amplify the power of the bet.
The profits get bigger and the losses get bigger, too, so in a fast-moving market you can easily see a double-digit swing.
Here's a practical example: The Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3X Shares (SPXS) is pegged to the S&P 500. Theoretically, it is supposed to go up three times what the S&P loses in a given day. So if the S&P is up 1%, the SPXS fund loses roughly 3%. If the S&P is down 2%, the SPXS gains roughly 6%.
Note the use of the word "roughly" — Expenses and other logistical constraints mean the 3x multiplier is not exact, but it's pretty close.
Consider that in the past week, the S&P 500 Index is down almost 5%, and the SPXS fund is up 14%. Not quite three times, but pretty close — and a very nice return.
Of course, if the S&P soars, the pain will be threefold, too … but investors who bought in a week ago are sitting pretty.
If you're looking for the other side of the trade in the event of a downward-trending market, here are some short funds with leverage that could pay off in the short-term:
2x Short Funds
- ProShares UltraShort Dow 30 ETF (DXD): -200% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
- ProShares UltraShort Mid Cap 400 ETF (MZZ): -200% of the S&P Mid Cap 400.
- ProShares UltraShort QQQ ETF (QID): -200% of the Nasdaq-100.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell Mid Cap Value ETF (SJL): -200% of the Russell Mid Cap Value Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell Mid Cap Growth ETF (SDK): -200% of the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell1000 Value ETF (SJF): -200% of the Russell 1000 Value Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell1000 Growth ETF (SFK): -200% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (TWM): -200% of the Russell 2000 Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell 2000 Growth ETF (SKK): -200% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell 2000 Value ETF (SJH): -200% of the Russell 2000 Value Index.
- ProShares UltraShort Russell 3000 ETF (TWQ): -200% of the Russell 3000 Index.
- ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 ETF (SDS): -200% of the S&P 500.
- ProShares UltraShort Small Cap 600 ETF (SDD): -200% of the S&P Small Cap 600.
3x Short Funds
- Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3x Shares (SPXS): -300% of the S&P 500 Index.
- Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3x Shares (MIDZ): -300% of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index.
- Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3x Shares (TZA): -300% of the Russell 2000.
- ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF (SQQQ): -300% of the Nasdaq 100.
- ProShares UltraPro Short Dow 30 ETF (SDOW): -300% of the DJIA.
- ProShares UltraPro Short S&P 500 ETF (SPXU): -300% of the S&P 500.
- ProShares UltraPro Short Mid Cap 400 ETF (SMDD): -300% of the S&P Mid Cap 400.
- ProShares UltraPro Short Russell 2000 ETF (SRTY): -300% of the Russell 2000.
Remember, the added volatility can hurt you by double or triple if you bet incorrectly. It's also worth noting that the expense of these short funds can really wear at you long-term and that the leverage is commonly done on a daily basis, not over time, so buying-and-holding is not advised.
But the above list is worth browsing for aggressive investors looking to play the downside of the market, either as speculation or as a hedge.

The Defence Science and Technology Organisation, facing some of the biggest cuts in its history, is looking for new recruits to Australia's cyber army – a task that promises to be an uphill battle as Australia struggles to produce enough computer science engineers.
A cool $120 million is to be cut from the organisation responsible for some of the development of the country's cyber defences. Chief Defence scientist Dr Alex Zelinsky said, however, that savings were already under way through retirement programs and cuts to non-priority programs.
In a new push, Dr Zelinsky's lecture, on Friday at the University of Canberra, will attempt to brush away the cobwebs of mystery around DSTO and attract some of Australia's top computer scientists and engineers.
Cyber-army low on recruits
But highly skilled computer science graduates are increasingly in demand in the private sector and many industry experts say there are not enough cyber security soldiers popping out of the nation's universities.
"Having strong cyber security is critical to having a strong economy. It's not something you want to outsource," said Simon Kaplan, director of skills and industry transformation at National ICT Australia (NICTA).
Mr Kaplan said graduates were divided between IT support workers and network engineers, the latter of which are taught to build new network defence and critical enterprise systems – the type Australia lacks.
Australia's chief scientist Ian Chubb warned in February that school leavers' lagging interest in information technology degrees is fuelling a possible skills shortage.
The NICTA has previously warned that "Australia could miss the chance to build an internationally competitive cyber security industry if it doesn't ... create market opportunities and challenging careers for our best computer scientists and software engineers."
Cyber wars heating up
DSTO will be partly responsible for supporting the new $24 billion joint strike fighters and the research and development of the nation's cyber security.
Dr Zelinsky said funding from priority areas such as cyber security would not be cut. But many academics fear Australia's investment into cyber security is leaving the nation vulnerable to unknown threats.
"The next war that Australia is involved in will start in cyber space and we won't realise we are under attack until we have real problems," warned Tom Worthington, a lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology and former IT adviser to Defence.
He added that it took years to train people in cyber security.
The new ADFA "cyber range" training centre has begun schooling Australian defence forces in network security but it is understood the new cyber security centre announced under the Gillard government is yet to open.
"We need much larger investment in cyber security or we will be sitting ducks for an attack," Mr Worthington said.
Already under attack
Late last year a cyber strike brought down the Australian Federal Police website, part of a series of attacks on the organisation. The group believed to be responsible is also suspected of cyber attacks against the Royal Australian Air Force, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the spy agencies ASIO and ASIS.
RMIT lecturer in cyber security Dr Jidong Wang said "no countries invest enough [in cyber security], it's a very important area", and that countries who do not invest enough are forced to rely on expertise of the major powers.
Respected "ethical hacker" Jonathan Brossard stated in April that he believed the United States spies on Australia.
Cuts are nothing new to the defence scientists. At least 200 staff have left without replacements over the past two years. The latest budget will see DSTO's operating budget tumble from an anticipated $456 million by 2016-17 to less than $410 million.

North Georgia could get a dusting of snow tonight and the Athens area could wake up Sunday to a mixture of rain and snow.
A fast-moving disturbance will sweep east tonight and Friday, bringing the chance of flurries to north Georgia, according to forecasters at the National Weather Service office at Peachtree City.
Grass and other cold surfaces north of Commerce could get a dusting by noon Friday, though mountaintops in far north Georgia could receive an inch, meteorologists said in a special weather statement issued this morning.
A separate weather system moving in from the west could bring a rain/snow mixture to Athens and elsewhere in Northeast Georgia on Sunday, Sunday night and Monday, forecasters said.
Precipitation could continue Tuesday, and "there is the possibility that snow could accumulate across north Georgia during this period," forecasters said in a second notice issued this morning.
Athens should remain cool and breezy today, with a high around 48 and clouds on the increase. Tonight should be cloudy with a low in the upper 20s.
Expect similar weather Friday and Saturday, with precipitation forecast for Sunday, when the high should be about 43. Rain and snow are possible Sunday night and Monday; the low is forecast to be about 30 Sunday night into Monday morning, with cool temperatures continuing next week.

I have the nexus one. I bought this for the bigger screen,the 8 mp camera and Gps map availability without internet.What a difference to the nexus. Its just not only the screen size, but the response to touch is much better as well. The HTC sense makes a big difference over the stock android that nexus has to offer.Small things like news app,facebook app,email app also make life easier. Over time I have used the Sony X 10, HTC desire ,iphone. This wins by a big margin.Definitely a buy if you are looking for an unlocked Android smartphone.

If you were unable to attend the IDC SaaS Summit in New York on March 26, you missed some outstanding information and advice. The Summit was aimed at executives interested in learning more about the value proposition of SaaS. IDC intentionally capped the number of participants so they could have time to ask their burning questions and get focused attention. Good strategy, as hall buzz indicated participants were highly satisfied with the topic sessions, Q&As, and skill sets of presenters.
The summit kicked off with some IDC research regarding SaaS. Specifically, SaaS is maturing and has moved beyond CRM applications. Robert Mahowald, director, On-demand and SaaS Research at IDC discussed several new opportunities for vendors in this market. Mahowald posited that lines are blurring between SaaS, Platform-as-a-Service, security and storage in the virtual environment.
My personal opinion is that all of the services required to run a business effectively in the cloud absolutely must come together. We should have learned our lessons over the past several decades regarding buying-in to proprietary solutions, lack of interoperability, missing or weak standards, inability to meet regulatory compliance, unruly software management, storage and storage management, and internal and external security issues. If not, the next round of lessons will be so incredibly painful your firm may not make it through the process.
IT can no longer be a cost center with its own set of priorities and technologies with which to experiment. If it isn't supporting the business' goals and objectives, then what good is it providing the company?
After the opening, the Summit moved into several robust presentations from SaaS users. The compelling messages around the sessions included:
- Wide vertical market penetration. There were speakers from several different vertical markets including the highly risk-adverse financial sector and price-sensitive non-profit sector.
-< SaaS is not a single application or business function solution. Each of the presenters discussed the numerous applications being used in the cloud and the ease of single sign-on to all of the applications.
- SaaS is not a single vendor solution. The emphasis was on using best-of-breed providers, and the ability to operate across multiple clouds as well as between the cloud and in-house applications.
- Security is readily available and leverages the use of existing technology investments in user identity databases.
- User identity and federated identity are core components of being able to operate across multiple clouds, and between the clouds and in-house applications.
- Incrementalization is one key to SaaS success. Every one of the users discussed their process flow for executing on their SaaS strategy. Each of them started with one or two applications, and built the strategy on two or three core platforms that provided hooks into their critical applications.
- All of the existing SaaS users had a roadmap slide showing the next several applications they were planning on adding to their portfolio of in-the-cloud application services. These folks have big plans.
- My favorite point: the users were able to talk to both the TCO and competitive advantage SaaS has afforded their firms. These points were outstanding!
Peppered throughout the day were ample breaks to visit the show floor, network with peers, and talk to service providers. Some of the floor vendors had cool SWAG, and all of them had interesting messages to deliver.
IDC is planning a Fall run of this Summit. It is scheduled for September 24 in San Francisco. I strongly recommend you attend. It will be a valuable one day learning experience. Go to www.idc.com/saaswest09 for more information.

Artworks are a valuable part of the World's cultural and historical heritage. Conservation and authentication of authorship are important aspects to consider in the protection of cultural patrimony. In this paper we present a novel application of a well-known method based on the phase-shift analysis of an ultrasonic signal, providing an integrated encoding system that enables authentication of the authorship of wooden panel paintings. The method has been evaluated in comparison with optical analysis and shows promising results. The proposed method provides an integrated fingerprint of the artwork, and could be used to enrich the cataloging and protection of artworks. Other advantages that make particularly attractive the proposed technique are its robustness and the use of low-cost sensors.
In recent years there has been growing interest in the preservation of cultural heritage [
Several NDT techniques have been developed throughout the years for the diagnosis and authentication of artworks. Thus, internal defects can be detected using infrared thermography [
The goal of this work is to demonstrate that the PSA technique is a robust and useful method for authenticating wooden panel paintings. The ultrasound phase obtained at each point of the artwork gives information not only on the scattering of the incident signal but also on the inner layers of paint and base carrier [
To check the validity of our results we performed a detailed topography of the chosen paint with a scanning technique based on photogrammetric correlation. Topographic images obtained have a precision of 0.2 mm [
The wooden panel painting authenticated in this paper is a work by the Spanish painter José Peris Aragó belonging to a private collection, and ceded by the owner for this study. José Peris Aragó, born in Alboraya, was a painter, illustrator and poster artist who lived in the twentieth century. He was a famed landscape artist whose style sits halfway between realism and impressionism. Indeed, the impressionistic character of his work was fundamental in choosing the panel painting because it has reliefs that can be tested accurately analyzing the phase-shift with our technique.
The paper is organized as follows: In the second section we explain the theoretical foundations. Both the experimental setup and the methodology followed in this work are presented in the third section. The results are analyzed and discussed in the fourth section. The last section contains the concluding remarks, where the results are summarized.
Echo-impulse techniques are widely used in industry and medicine to visualize the inside of objects or the human body as a good alternative to avoid high energy radiation damage produced by other dangerous techniques based on X-ray. Highly damped transducers must be used with these techniques in order to emit and detect pulses by the time of flight. In contrast, with the PSA method used here, the setup works under steady state and low cost transducers with low damping.
In the PSA method an ultrasonic pure tone is emitted by a transducer and impinges on the rough surface under study. A receiver located at the same height as the emitter collects the acoustic energy that interacts with the artwork (
The scattering of an ultrasonic signal impinging on a rough surface has been analyzed in the case of near field conditions by Fresnel diffraction [
If the directivities of the transducers (
If we have an accurate numerical description of the surface, we can calculate the complex scattered pressure on the rough paint by means of
The measurements have been carried out using an automated position system that provides a highly accurate
Two pairs of emitter and receiver transducers are used in the experiments to demonstrate the robustness of the PSA technique. The arrangement of the two pairs of transducers used for measurements along with their main geometric dimension can be seen in
Careful calibration of the experimental measurement system is necessary to carry out the measures successfully. First of all, we obtained experimentally the resolution in the
The transducers are located in their measuring position (see
The experimental results for the measured and unwrapped phase show a pattern characterised by a strong linear dependence between phase and distance, with an additional oscillating term, far away from the linear relationship corresponding to ideal conditions.
Furthermore, when transducers are near to the flat surface, a stationary wave appears that makes it difficult to characterise the expected linear regression. Therefore, we have established a working distance between 40·10−3 m and 50·10−3 m, outside the region where the stationary wave is presented. When transducers are placed around this measurement distance, the phase error due to interference phenomena takes reasonable values, a maximum of 0.25 rad for the directive transducer TR40 (
From the slope of the linear regressions it is possible to calculate for both pairs of transducers the real wavelength at working conditions, λ(TR40) = 8.68·10−3 m, λ(400ST) = 8.75·10−3 m, and the ratio phase/distance resolution, ratio(TR40) = 82,910 deg/m and ratio(400ST) = 82,270 deg/m. The obtained ratios directly relate the measured phase to the distance between the pair of transducers and the reflective surface. The calculated experimental error is less than 0.8%.
Our second analysis relates to the direct contribution of the emitter to the receiver due to the proximity of both transducers in the experimental setup, so that part of the energy used to irradiate the artwork is directly measured by the receiver. This contribution is relevant for the analysis and it should be detected. To do that, we placed both pairs of transducers in an anechoic chamber with the measuring arrangement shown in
In order to obtain the reflected signal without the direct contribution, the complex amplitude of the reflected wave
Finally, we characterize experimentally the directivity pattern (Q(α)) of both pairs of transducers.
The range of variation in height of the roughness on the artwork surface is limited by the extreme values of the phase shift φ, which is between 0° and 360°. However, this is not a limitation when the maximum depth of the artwork is smaller than half the wavelength (
A novel application of the PSA method that provides a useful integrated encoding image for authenticating paintings on rigid support is proposed. As already explained, the PSA technique is based on analysis of the phase shift of an ultrasonic signal after it impinges on the rough surface of the paint. Phase shift is affected mainly by: (i) scattering produced when the signal impinges on the rough surface and (ii) reflection of a part of the transmitted signal due to changes in elastic properties inside the painted wooden panel. The resulting interference pattern is formed as the sum of these two effects and is recorded in the signal captured by the receiver.
To check the validity of our technique, an accurate topography of the surface roughness of Peris Aragó wooden panel painting has been done using a scanning technique based on photogrammetric correlation.
Based on the topographic information data from the surface S, the next step was to calculate the theoretical phase shift of the scattered field over the surface of the paint using
Considering the direct contribution of the emitter to the receiver due to the proximity of both transducers, we have obtained a simulation that represents the scattered field plus the direct one. Results of this simulation, called Fresnel image by us, are represented in
Comparison of the theoretical Fresnel image (
Actually this is the key feature of the present work: by scanning the artwork using PSA technique, the combined effect of the scattered acoustic pressure on the rough surface together with some internal features of the panel painting provides a "fingerprint" of the artwork.
That is, if the painting could be copied with perfect imitation of the author's style, the same composition of pigments, and even with the help of technology you could reproduce the topography of the painting, but it would not be possible to reproduce the coding obtained by the PSA method.
As explained above, we have measured with two different setups, involving different transducers and measurement heights, to demonstrate the robustness of our method. In fact, observation of the PSA images shows no evident differences between the images obtained by both setups, retaining the main features despite the change in setup configuration and directivity of the sensors.
Another phenomenon to take into account is ultrasound speckles. This phenomenon appears through interference from the scattered field. However, the goal of this work is to note the underlying phenomena in the PSA image and, therefore, analysis of the ultrasound speckle is necessary to confirm that our analysis goes further than a paint surface analysis study.
More detailed studies are needed to demonstrate the reflection of part of the transmitted wave by the inside of the artwork and, more importantly, to quantify its value and its contribution to the final PSA ultrasound image. These issues are the major challenge guiding our future work.
Our study provides a new application of the PSA method to obtain integrated encoding images of a wooden panel painting but it can be extrapolated to paintings on any rigid support, and can be catalogued as NDT using air as the medium of impedance adaptation.
Analyzing the results, we can conclude that the PSA method not only provides information on the relief of the sample surface but also provides a real fingerprint of the artwork due to ultrasound penetration inside it.
To verify the PSA method results, a theoretical map of phase shift was calculated, based on high-precision topographic information.
Also, the robustness of the PSA method has been demonstrated by using two pairs of transducers with different characteristics, obtaining similar results.
Cataloging and protecting artworks can be enriched with the proposed PSA technique, and the robustness of the method and the use of low cost sensors make this technique especially interesting.

Dear Wendy: "Should I Leave My Boyfriend Behind?"
I am a 21-year-old college student, graduating this spring. I was recently accepted to an Ivy League institution to pursue my graduate degree, and I have never been more excited! However, I have a boyfriend of over six years, who really wants to follow me to graduate school. At first, this seemed like a great idea. I am very happy that he supports me and we have a very strong relationship. However, he does not have a lot of ambition. While I will be going for a graduate degree, he failed out of college and has not really shown any interest in going back. He is currently a cook, and would be able to get a job pretty easily if we move. He has also talked about other labor jobs or bartending. Another concern is that he has never lived anywhere but with his parents. I have been on my own for four years. I am worried that he'll find it difficult to live away from home. On the other hand, I think it would be a great opportunity for him to move to a city where there are many more opportunities for him. Considering all of this, I am also concerned about myself. I want to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to attend an Ivy League institution to the fullest. I do love him, and I don't want to lose him, but I am really unsure if he should come along with me, or if I should essentially leave him behind. I don't want to have any regrets. What do you think I should do? — Off to an Ivy
"I'm Muslim, But I Don't Want To Wait Until Marriage To Have Sex"
Tell him you need a year to transition into the demands of a graduate program at an Ivy League school before he moves out there with you. It's a fair request, and if your relationship can't handle a year apart, you aren't right for each other anyway. A year will give you enough time to evaluate whether this is really the guy you want to be with, while also giving you a chance to make a life for yourself in your new home and focus on your studies. Don't underestimate how much of a commitment school will be. You're going to need at least a year to really devote yourself to your new challenges without worrying about how your boyfriend is doing in his new home too. If he isn't okay with that arrangement, he clearly doesn't support you as much as you say he does, and it's better to know that now. Besides, your boyfriend of six years who doesn't have much ambition might not seem as fulfilling to you once you spend a year in the company of fellow Ivy grad students of the male persuasion. I'm sure your boyfriend is aware of this, which is probably another reason he wants to tag along. You owe it to yourself to take a year to focus on creating a new life. You'll know by the end of that year whether there's a place for him in it or whether it's time to MOA.

Following the death of Apple founder Steve Jobs, Hollywood inevitably swept in to put his life on the silver screen. Now, the first fruit of their labours is about to hit cinemas, with the first posthumous Jobs biopic, jOBS, closing the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, jOBS takes in 30 years of the Apple founder's life, starting in 1971 – a period that covers his early successes with Apple, his less successful venture at NeXT, and the foundation of Pixar. That timeframe means that the triumphant finale of the script will likely involve the launch of the first iPod, in 2001.
Josh Gad will play Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, with Dermot Mulroney, Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine and JK Simmons rounding out the cast. The film is directed by Joshua Michael Stern and written by Matt Whiteley.
jOBS isn't the only Steve Jobs biopic in the works – The Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin is penning his own take on Steve Jobs' life, based on Walter Isaacson's biography of the Apple founder.

Often we forget about things that once meant something to us, and we leave it where time can ravage it and take it for its own. It is not done for any reason; it just happens… we tend to cast things aside until we realize that it's still there. The problem with this, is the fact that when we usually realize what we had, it is too late to save it.
The trick is, to hold on to it as long as you can… and cherish it… before you lose it.

In collaboration with the Department of Classics at Haverford College, the department offers four concentrations in Classics: Greek, Latin, Classical Languages, and Classical Culture and Society. In addition to the sequence of courses specified for each concentration, all students must participate in the senior conference, a full-year course. In the first term students study various fields in Classics (e.g., law, literary history, philosophy, religion, social history), while in the second term they write a long research paper and present their findings to the group. Senior essays of exceptionally high quality may be awarded departmental honors at commencement.
Students, according to their concentrations, are encouraged to consider a term of study during junior year at the College Year in Athens or the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome.
The sequence of courses in the ancient Greek language is designed to acquaint the students with the various aspects of Greek culture through a mastery of the language and a comprehension of Greek history, mythology, religion and the other basic forms of expression through which the culture developed. The works of poets, philosophers and historians are studied both in their historical context and in relation to subsequent Western thought. In addition, the department regularly offers one or more courses on Greek history, myth, literature or religion for which knowledge of the Greek language is not required.
Major Requirements
Requirements in the major are, in addition to the Classics Senior Seminar: 016, 017, 101, 104, 201, 202 and either 305 or 306. Also required are three courses to be distributed as follows: one in Greek history, one in Greek archaeology, and one in Greek philosophy. The major is completed with a comprehensive sight translation of Greek to English.
Prospective majors in Greek are advised to take Greek 016 and 017 in the first year. For students entering with Greek there is the possibility of completing the requirements for both A.B. and M.A. degrees in four years. Those interested in pursuing advanced degrees are advised to have a firm grounding in Latin.
Minor Requirements
Requirements for a minor in Greek are: 016, 017, 101, 104, 201 and 202.

When Hackberry Holland became sheriff of a tiny Texas town near the Mexican border, he'd hoped to leave certain things behind: his checkered reputation, his haunted dreams, and his obsessive memories of the good life with his late wife, Rie. But the discovery of the bodies of nine illegal aliens, machine-gunned to death and buried in a shallow grave behind a church, soon makes it clear that he won't escape so easily.
As Hack and Deputy Sheriff Pam Tibbs attempt to untangle the threads of this complex and grisly case, a damaged young Iraq veteran, Pete Flores, and his girlfriend, Vikki Gaddis, are running for their lives, hoping to outwit the bloodthirsty criminals who want to kill Pete for his involvement in the murders. The only trouble is, Pete doesn't know who he's running from: drunk and terrified, he fled the scene of the crime when the shooting began. And there's a long list of people who want Pete and Vikki dead: crime boss Hugo Cistranos, who hired Pete for the operation; Nick Dolan, a strip club owner and small-time gangster with revenge on his mind; and a mysterious God-fearing serial-killer-for-hire known as Preacher Jack Collins, with enigmatic motives of his own.
With the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and a host of cold-blooded killers on Pete and Vikki's trail, it's up to Sheriff Holland to find them first and figure out who's behind the mass murder before anyone else ends up dead. In this thrilling and intricate work, James Lee Burke has once again proven himself a master storyteller and a perceptive chronicler of the darkest corners of the human heart.

ON THE BURNT-OUT end of a July day in Southwest Texas, in a crossroads community whose only economic importance had depended on its relationship to a roach paste factory the EPA had shut down twenty years before, a young man driving a car without window glass stopped by an abandoned blue-and-white stucco filling station that had once sold Pure gas during the Depression and was now home to bats and clusters of tumbleweed. Next to the filling station was a mechanic's shed whose desiccated boards lay collapsed upon a rusted pickup truck with four flat bald tires. At the intersection a stoplight hung from a horizontal cable strung between two power poles, its plastic covers shot out by .22 rifles.
The young man entered a phone booth and wiped his face slick with the flat of his hand. His denim shirt was stiff with salt and open on his chest, his hair mowed into the scalp, GI€'style. He pulled an unlabeled pint bottle from the front of his jeans and unscrewed the cap. Down the right side of his face was a swollen pink scar that was as bright and shiny as plastic and looked pasted onto the skin rather than part of it. The mescal in the bottle was yellow and thick with threadworms that seemed to light against the sunset when he tipped the neck to his mouth. Inside the booth, he could feel his heart quickening and lines of sweat running down from his armpits into the waistband of his undershorts. His index finger trembled as he punched in the numbers on the phone's console.
"What's your emergency?" a woman dispatcher asked.
The rolling countryside was the color of a browned biscuit, stretching away endlessly, the monotony of rocks and creosote brush and grit and mesquite trees interrupted only by an occasional windmill rattling in the breeze.
"Last night there was some shooting here. A lot of it," he said. "I heard it in the dark and saw the flashes."
"Shooting where?"
"By that old church. I think that's what happened. I was drinking. I saw it from down the road. It scared the doo-doo out of me."
There was a pause. "Are you drinking now, sir?"
"Not really. I mean, not much. Just a few hits of Mexican worm juice."
"Tell us where you are, and we'll send out a cruiser. Will you wait there for a cruiser to come out?"
"This doesn't have anything to do with me. A lot of wets go through here. There's oceans of trash down by the border. Dirty diapers and moldy clothes and rotted food and tennis shoes without strings in them. Why would they take the strings out of their tennis shoes?"
"Is this about illegals?"
"I said I heard somebody busting caps. That's all I'm reporting. Maybe I heard a tailgate drop. I'm sure I did. It clanked in the dark."
"Sir, where are you calling from?"
"The same place I heard all that shooting."
"Give me your name, please."
"What name they got for a guy so dumb he thinks doing the right thing is the right thing? Answer me that, please, ma'am."
He tried to slam down the receiver on the hook but missed. The phone receiver swung back and forth from the phone box as the young man with the welted pink scar on his face drove away, road dust sucking back through the glassless windows of his car.
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATER, at sunset, the sky turned to turquoise; then the strips of black cloud along the horizon were backlit by a red brilliance that was like the glow of a forge, as though the cooling of the day were about to be set into abeyance so the sun's heat could prevail through the night into the following dawn. Across the street from the abandoned filling station, a tall man in his seventies, wearing westerncut khakis and hand-tooled boots and an old-fashioned gun belt and a dove-colored Stetson, parked his truck in front of what appeared to be the shell of a Spanish mission. The roof had caved onto the floor, and the doors had been twisted off the hinges and carried inside and broken up and used for firewood by homeless people or teenage vandals. The only tree in the crossroads community was a giant willow; it shaded one side of the church and created a strange effect of shadow and red light on the stucco walls, as though a grass fire were approaching the structure and about to consume it.
In reality, the church had been built not by Spaniards or Mexicans but by an industrialist who had become the most hated man in America after his company security forces and members of the Colorado militia massacred eleven children and two women during a miners' strike in 1914. Later, the industrialist reinvented himself as a philanthropist and humanitarian and rehabilitated his family name by building churches around the country. But the miners did not get their union, and this particular church became a scorched cipher that few associate with the two women and eleven children who had tried to hide in a root cellar while the canvas tent above them rained ash and flame upon their heads.
The tall man was wearing a holstered blue-black white-handled revolver. Unconsciously, he removed his hat when he entered the church, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the deep shadows inside the walls. The oak flooring had been ripped up and hauled away by a contractor, and the dirt underneath was green and cool with lack of sunlight, packed down hard, humped in places, smelling of dampness and the feces of field mice. Scattered about the church's interior, glinting like gold teeth, were dozens of brass shell casings.
The tall man squatted down, his gunbelt creaking, his knees popping. He picked up a casing on the end of a ballpoint pen. It, like all the others, was .45-caliber. He cleared his throat softly and spat to one side, unable to avoid the odor that the wind had just kicked up outside. He rose to his feet and walked out the back door and gazed at a field that had been raked by a bulldozer's blade, the cinnamon-colored dirt scrolled and stenciled by the dozer's steel treads.
The tall man returned to his pickup truck and removed a leaf rake and a long-handled shovel from the bed. He walked into the field and sank the steel tip of the shovel blade with the weight of his leg and haunch and struck a rock, then reset the blade in a different spot and tried again. This time the blade went deep, all the way up to his boot sole, as though it were cutting through compacted coffee grounds rather than dirt. When he pulled the shovel free, an odor rose into his nostrils that made his throat close against the bilious surge in his stomach. He soaked a bandana from a canteen in his truck and wrapped it around the lower half of his face and knotted it behind his head. Then he walked slowly across the field, jabbing the inverted half of the rake handle into the ground. Every three or four feet, at the same depth, he felt a soft form of resistance, like a sack of feed whose burlap has rotted and split, the dry dirt rilling back into the hole each time he pulled the wood shaft from the surface. The breeze had died completely. The air was green with the sun's last light, the sky dissected by birds, the air stained by a growing stench that seemed to rise from his boots into his clothes. The tall man inverted the rake, careful not to touch the tip that he had pushed below the soil, and began scraping at a depression that a feral animal had already crosshatched with claw marks.
The tall man had many memories from his early life that he seldom shared with others. They involved images of snowy hills south of the Yalu River, and dead Chinese troops in quilted uniforms scattered randomly across the slopes, and F€'80 jets flying low out of the overcast sky, strafing the perimeter to push the Chinese mortar and automatic weapons teams back out of range. The wounds on the American dead piled in the backs of the six-bys looked like roses frozen inside snow.
In his sleep, the tall man still heard bugles blowing in the hills, echoing as coldly as brass ringing on stone.
The spidery tines of the rake pulled a lock of black hair free from the dirt. The tall man, whose name was Hackberry Holland, looked down into the depression. He touched the rake at the edges of the rounded shape he had uncovered. Then, because of either a lack of compaction around the figure or the fact that it lay on top of other bodies, the soil began to slide off the person's face and ears and neck and shoulders, down into a subterranean hole, exposing the waxy opalescence of a brow, the rictus that imitated surprise, one eye lidded, the other as bold as a child's marble, a ball of dirt clenched in the figure's palm.
She was thin-boned, a toy person, her black blouse a receptacle for heat and totally inappropriate for the climate. He guessed she was not over seventeen and that she had been alive when the dirt was pushed on top of her. She was also Asian, not Hispanic as he had expected.
For the next half hour, until the light had gone from the sky, he continued to rake and dig in the field that had obviously been scraped down to the hardpan by a dozer blade, then backfilled with the overburden and tamped down and graded as smoothly as if in preparation for construction of a home.
He went back to his truck and threw the rake and shovel in the bed, then lifted his handheld radio off the passenger seat. "Maydeen, this is Sheriff Holland," he said. "I'm behind the old church at Chapala Crossing. I've uncovered the burials of nine homicide victims so far, all female. Call the feds and also call both Brewster and Terrell counties and tell them we need their assistance."
"You're breaking up. Say again? Did I read you right? You said nine homicide -- "
"We've got a mass murder. The victims are all Asian, some of them hardly more than children."
"The guy who made the nine-one-one, he called a second time."
"What'd he say?"
"I don't think he just happened by the church site. I think he's dripping with guilt."
"Did you get his name?"
"He said it was Pete. No last name. Why didn't you call in? I could have sent help. You're ...

Five years had passed since Andy Burnham, the member of parliament for Leigh, had addressed a memorial service for the Hillsborough tragedy. Anger, understandably, was in the air and it was finally broken by one lone voice. "Justice," shouted Roy Dixon, a Liverpool fan whose plea prompted a sustained chant of "Justice for the 96" that was to echo far beyond Anfield.
Burnham, who was then a government minister, paused, made it clear that he was listening and promised to act. New evidence was released, the Hillsborough Independent Panel was formed, the original verdict of accidental death was overturned and now, 25 years on, a new inquest has just begun into what the coroner called "the worst ever disaster at a British sports stadium".
Burnham was invited back to Anfield on Tuesday for the 25th anniversary memorial service and received a rapturous standing ovation. "Things changed, not because of me, but because of you," he said. "Things changed because you made your voices heard and thank god you did. Your voices were carried off this Kop and into every living room in the land and, from there, into the heart of the establishment. I knew you were right and they were wrong. You helped me find the political courage to do something."
Dixon, the man whose shout, perhaps, became the turning point on the road to justice, was among 24,000 inside Anfield for Tuesday's memorial service.
"Take a bow," Burnham said. "If I live to 100 I will never forget the sound of your voice, mate. It was the moment the dam burst. One lone cry, now an unstoppable movement asking the most profound questions about our country and the way it has been run. How can it be that an entire city was crying injustice for 20 years and no one was listening?
"As things come full circle, the shadows are lifting. There is still an uncertain road ahead, we know that, but the country is with you. You have given hope to people the world over. What was your call five years ago is mine today: 'Justice for the 96.'"
That justice might have been delayed but the mood across all of Liverpool on Tuesday stretched beyond sombre reflection to immense pride at a city that, perhaps more than any other in England, is so identified by its football teams. The scarves of clubs from all over Europe were hung, three or four deep, on the Shankly Gates at Anfield next to the Hillsborough Memorial on which the names of all 96 who died at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest are inscribed.
Beneath and adjacent to the memorial was layer upon layer of flowers and messages. "When you say a silent prayer and your dreams are tossed and blown, remember those 96 empty seats that must never walk alone," one said.
The number of choice on the back of most Liverpool shirts at Anfield yesterday was 96.
At 8am, a message on Manchester United's Twitter feed reflected the goodwill that spread far beyond Liverpool. "Today we stand side-by-side with @LFC to remember the 96 fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough on April 15, 1989," it said.
Everton also announced that they would be unveiling their own Hillsborough Memorial at Goodison Park before the end of the year. Their manager, Roberto Martinez, was another recipient of a standing ovation from the Kop following a beautifully judged speech after he had given the first reading of the service.
"I was only 15 in April 1989, a football-mad kid in a football-mad family, like any of you today," Martinez said. "We could not believe or comprehend the horror of receiving the news their loved ones would not come home from a football match. What happened afterwards was not right or fair but, as my chairman said last year, they took on the wrong city. I do not have to tell you that Everton are with you. Everton remembers. We will always."
Burnham, himself an Everton fan, said he had asked his mum what he should say on Tuesday and she had told him to tell the Liverpool supporters that "it would be fitting if they won the league championship in this year of all years".
Any reservation about making the link between such a devastating tragedy and the comparative triviality of football matches was eased by the message from Margaret Aspinall, the inspirational chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group. Having spoken about the 25-year campaign for justice, she turned to the current Liverpool squad, who were sat in their entirety just below a who's who of the greatest players in the club's history.
"Stress is very difficult but it is also good," she said. "It gives us determination to fight. I know that is what you are going to do to get this championship."
At that point, the Kop could barely contain itself and chants of "Justice for the 96" soon switched to "We're going to win the league". Team captain Steven Gerrard, whose 10-year-old cousin Jon-Paul Gilhooley was the youngest Hillsborough victim, was visibly moved.
The name of Gilhooley, along with the other 95 victims, was individually read out. It took more than 10 minutes to complete the most moving part of the service. The whole of Liverpool then fell silent at 3.06pm, the time the semi-final was halted 25 years earlier, as bells rang out 96 times across three of the city's churches. Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, read the evocative words of Psalm 23 of the King James Bible and, in a subsequent address, his emotion was evident.
"I'm surrounded every day of my life by inspiration," Rodgers said. "I walk in every day past the statue of Bill Shankly and past the European Cup. But without doubt the single biggest source of inspiration for me is every match day at Anfield, when I arrive at this ground and see the memorial and the 96 names. You inspire us every day and inspire us to play.
"I feel inadequate to be in your company. Thanks for the inspiration you give to us all. We will always strive for you – the families. You'll never walk alone."
The front page of the Liverpool Echo had carried a photograph yesterday morning of every person who died in the Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough accompanied by the headline, "Never Forget".
If there is one small comfort to be had amid such a terrible tragedy, it is the certainty that few ever will.
