Prince William movie 'planned'
A "coming of age" TV movie about Prince William is to be made by American network ABC, it has been reported.
It will focus on the prince "dealing with" adolescence and becoming an adult and the producers are said to have launched a hunt to find a British actor to play the young royal.
The film's story is expected to begin with the aftermath of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in Paris in 1997.
David Madden, executive vice president of Fox TV Pictures, told trade newspaper Hollywood Reporter he was worried about the prospect of the film when first approached.
The film is reportedly being made for ABC's Wonderful World of Disney franchise.
"Anytime you go near royal family or celebrities of that ilk, it terrifies you that you're going to do something that will feel exploitative or just tabloid-ish or scandal-mongering," Mr Madden said.
Aides for the prince at St James's Palace declined to comment on the production but the Press Association reported that privately royal aides are understood to be "disappointed" at the "insensitivity" of the film.
Mr Madden said: "We basically took the tack that we were going to do a true coming-of-age of a kid who is going through, in some ways, all of the things that every kid goes through of dealing with adolescence, coming of sexuality and dealing with your dad."
A script for the project has been finished and Michael Watkins is expected to direct the film, on location in either England or Ireland.
The producers and director are now looking for a young British actor to play Prince William.
"On a much smaller level, we'll do our little version of trying to find Harry Potter," Mr Madden said.
It was also reported that the movie will be shown on ABC in October.
Prince William is in the first year of an art history degree at St Andrews University in Scotland and has received a lot of media attention despite an arrangement between his aides and the press.
Controversy erupted over filming at St Andrews by Ardent Productions, run by his uncle Prince Edward, in alleged breach of the privacy agreement.
But Ardent Productions said Prince William's privacy was "never in danger of being breached" and the television company "utterly respect the need for him to be left alone to undertake his studies in private".
Prince Edward has since given up his business career to devote his time to royal duties.

Spurs captain: 'Blackout' was unacceptable - and we looked defeated after equaliser
PUBLISHED: 12:00 27 October 2014 | UPDATED: 12:00 27 October 2014
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Captain Younes Kaboul says Tottenham's "blackout" after half-time yesterday was unacceptable – and he believes Spurs "looked defeated" as soon as they conceded the equaliser in their 2-1 home defeat against Newcastle.
The Lilywhites looked comfortable at the break at White Hart Lane, leading 1-0 after Emmanuel Adebayor's header.
However, the Magpies levelled eight seconds after the restart, with half-time substitute Sammy Ameobi catching Eric Dier napping, racing onto Jack Colback's long ball and finishing past Hugo Lloris.
A shocked Spurs side then went on to concede a second goal just before the hour-mark as Ayoze Perez headed home, inflicting Tottenham's third home defeat in four league games.
"It's very disappointing," said Kaboul. "We started the game well and the most difficult task was to score, which we did, and the first half was comfortable. We had the ball, took our chance but then it was blackout, straight away.
"We came back on the pitch not thinking. He [Dier] missed the pass and he [Ameobi] went through to score. We have to be more brave and focused straight away. I think it was five seconds or something and it shows you that at this level there is no mercy. If you're not focused, brave and ready, you pay the price straight away.
"Was it a concentration issue? That's maybe the word. We need to be focused and brave, we should not concede goals like that. If he scores an unbelievable goal you can't say anything, but from where it started and where it ended, it's not acceptable."
The finger might be pointed at the manager after such a disaster immediately after the interval, but Kaboul insists Mauricio Pochettino said all the right things during the break.
"When the gaffer spoke at half-time, he told us to be brave and ready for the second one and to win the game, concentrate and focus," said the skipper. "Then five seconds and they scored.
"Of course we tried to score the second one but it didn't happen and we looked defeated on the pitch. I think Newcastle saw that and they thought 'yeah, why not, we're going to win this game' - and they did it.
"We looked beaten when they scored to make it 1-1, straight away it was another game. It was like the first half was last weekend - it disappeared. Then we conceded the second one. We had chances to come back 2-2, but it was really hard.
"Do we need more character in the squad? Maybe, yes. When you concede a goal straight away coming back on the pitch, you need to reply immediately.
"You need to send a big sign that we're here, and say 'ok, you scored early and we're going to reply to you straight away'.
"Have I spoken to the players? It's hard in the heat of the moment. Sometimes you can say some wrong stuff. It's better that you analyse it first on the video clips, and then talk.
"We need to be more consistent and regular and more mature on the pitch. It's about knowing how to control the game, kill the game, knowing how to defend all together in certain phases of the game, and for us to be more confident also."
Tottenham's latest defeat left them 11th in the Premier League table after nine games – just one point above a Newcastle side who only recorded their first league win last weekend, and three points above the relegation zone.
The only good news is the inconsistency of many of the other top teams, and the fact that Spurs are still only five points outside the top four.
But, asked whether a challenge for Champions League qualification is a realistic goal, Kaboul did not sound entirely confident.
"Of course we want to but the most important thing for us this season is to finish as high as we can," he said. "We want to improve and we work very hard, trust me, and we want to improve at any point."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
I'm not a sorbet kinda guy, you say. I drink tap water, not Perrier. Budweiser, not wine. Relax, okay? After a Lincoln Road meal, an aprés-dining stroll over to The Frieze is an easy way to add a touch of culinary sophistication to your diet. And the folks behind the counter here are more than happy to ease you into your new chichi identity. All you have to do is point and they'll gladly scoop you out a free sample of any of their dozen or so flavors of homemade sorbet. May we suggest a coneful of coconut for starters? Smooth, but not too watery; tart but not tangy -- it's just the thing to cleanse the palate and then to keep you coming back for more. Good thing they pack pints to go.
C'mon, an overpriced sushi joint? We only have about a hundred of those, so why reward a new one? Well, friends, try out Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's dishes and then come back and tell us it wasn't worth every penny. So what if some whine about the décor. People! Style over substance has been Miami's cement shoes for too long. And so what if the super-fresh sashimi melted in your mouth so quickly and deliciously you almost forgot you just ate it. And who cares if chopsticks were used as weapons for the very last crumbs from the black codfish with miso. It doesn't matter. What does matter is this: Miami finally has a Matsuhisa masterhouse to return to over and over again for more of the same. For the first time in a while, a restaurant has opened that can truly contend with the best of the best.
A delicate rose fashioned from slender blush-pink slices of tuna. Carefully carved thin strips of cucumber wrapped around crab stick, avocado, masago, and shrimp. Wooden boats bursting with artfully arranged squares of fish. How fresh is it? Take a glance behind the sushi bar. If the huge white tuna slumped across the sink, ready for carving, is any hint, very.
Chocolate is not a bad or dangerous thing. Chocolate is good medicine for the brain, the blood, the sweet tooth. And the Sweet Tooth's chocolate is very good, made on the premises. From chocolate hearts and cherries to truffles and luscious creams, feast your eyes (did we mention chocolate improves night vision?) on the velvety array of goodies at this well-equipped chocolate clinic. The selection is so stunning, especially on holidays, you may be temporarily paralyzed. The Sweet Tooth people know how you feel and have thoughtfully prepared all kinds of beautiful and therapeutic gift baskets and boxes.
No, it's not really about the drinks. You've had those before. And it's not really about the décor, which is clean and fine but not spectacular. It's also not about the specials, because there aren't really official hours for happiness here. It's about the only reason people seek out happy hours to begin with: the scene. What? On Miracle Mile in the stuffy Gables, you might sneer? Yup. There's a new dawn in that part of town and it's raising a toast at the new Houston's after work. Good mix of cocktails, ages, ethnicities, sexes, economic positions. The men and women behind the bar are friendly, as are the people sitting next to you. Starting late in the afternoon on Friday often you won't find a stool or even standing room, so the party spills out into the street. If you need further proof this isn't the Gables of old, consider: Once you've downed your after-work libations, you can move on to other attractions. Huh? Life after 8:00 p.m. in the City Beautiful? Yes, truly a new dawn.
This is truly the hole-in-the-wall that has it all. Almost indistinguishable from the other storefronts along this part of North Miami Avenue, Clive's makes its mark at the cozy counter set up with great Jamaican favorites like curry goat, oxtail, and cowfoot. With ample food packed on a five-dollar special, this is a can't-miss deal every afternoon. The chicken is cooked to diner perfection and the curry is a smooth blend that avoids the fire-alarm spices of other native cuisines. The mood is laid-back, with a pleasant Mrs. P taking good care of the customers and a small radio pumping out reggae sounds. You just may catch Clive's fan Lenny Kravitz taking in the scene. Clive's is great for take-out but just as nice for a midafternoon stop to take it easy.

Gateway ends season short of playoffs
The Gateway varsity boys golf team wrapped up its Section 4-AAA slate last week, and a 207-212 loss to Plum at Murrysville Golf Course capped a tough campaign for the Gators.
Gateway finished 4-8 in section play with a pair of wins against both Penn Hills and Woodland Hills.
"We got off to a good start, but we just weren't able to pull off an upset we needed," Tyska said.
"We lost a lot of really close matches."
Those losses included a four-stroke defeat against Kiski Area at Murrysville Golf Course on Aug. 30 and a seven-stroke setback to Franklin Regional on Sept. 9.
Gateway suffered another seven-stroke loss to Kiski Area, 211-218, on Sept. 30.
Fox Chapel went undefeated in section at 12-0, while Plum, Kiski Area and Franklin Regional all tied for second with 8-4 records.
The top two teams from each AAA section advanced to the WPIAL team semifinals.
Plum beat Franklin Regional twice, while Franklin Regional swept Kiski Area, and the Cavaliers took both matches against the Mustangs. The tie for second couldn't be broken, and Kiski, Plum and Franklin Regional all advanced to the playoffs.
"There were pretty much four or five teams, including us, within about 10 shots, and that is competitive in terms of high school boys golf," Tyska said.
"It was disappointing we weren't able to make the playoffs. They tried their hardest, and that's all I can ask."
Seniors Ian Kirkpatrick, Stephen Reber, Bobby Guiliani, Adam Salandro and Jack Washington will move on from the team, but freshman Collin McCune and sophomore Ryan Skladany will return to form the core of next year's varsity squad.
Guiliani led Gateway in scoring average with a 38.85 for nine holes, followed by Reber at 41.54.
Kirkpatrick (42.92), McCune (45.92) and Skladany (47.00) rounded out the top five.
Guiliani, who shot a school-record 31 at Murrysville Golf Course on Sept. 19, competed at the WPIAL AAA boys golf championships last week at Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley.
He placed 31st with a score of 17-over-par 87.
"He just never really got into a rhythm," Tyska said. "He made a couple bogeys in a row, and then he started to press. Before you knew it, it was spinning out of control. He wasn't able to turn it around quickly enough. I know he was definitely disappointed, but he had a great season and he hopes to continue to play in college."
Reber played the last several matches this season with a chipped patella bone in his knee suffered against Franklin Regional on Sept. 19.
He finished the match against the Panthers and shot a 42. He dealt with pain while playing the final four section matches.
"I was very impressed with Stephen's toughness and wasn't surprised," Tyska said.
"He didn't want to let his team down. He's a great role model for the younger golfers."
Tyska said Reber should be good to go for basketball season.

I broke my nose 11 years ago and then again last Thursday. My question is about the closed reduction I'm looking into (I know I need to get on it asap). When the doctor realigns the bones and cartilage, will it eventually go back to how it was before last week? Or possibly how it would have looked had I never broken my nose? Or is this a completely retarded question and you can't really say either way? Thanks!
Broken My Nose Twice in the Past 11 years and Looking Into a Closed Reduction. Will it Look Like My Original Nose?
Doctor Answers 2
Closed reduction nose
The closed reduction will just return it to what it looked like 1 week ago.
Unless by some miracle the fracture is exactly the same spot as we would place our osteotomies when correcting a deviated nose.
good luck
Closed Reduction to Restore to Original Appearance before Fracture.
Without seeing your nose at the present time, last week, or before the trauma 11 years ago we cannot tell you if it is reasonable to expect your nose to look like it did before it was broken. Usually that cannot be achieved, but ask your surgeon to establish reasonable expectations before your surgery. Make sure you both have the same goals.

I'm trying to upgrade a generic-pc image from 1.233 to 1.3b10 from the GUI.
After the automatic reboot my m0n0 is still on 1.233. My syslog server
contains the following 2 lines:

system full
Mar 10 22:20:11 m0n0wall.local reboot: rebooted by root
I'm not too familiar with m0n0's file system. Is there a way to get this to

I realize I could pull the cf card and reflash it manually on another
computer, but I'm a bit lazy like that. Any help appreciated.

Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by bluestorm19
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
This was our second cruise. First cruise was July 2005 on Carnival Elation.
Embarkation: Arrived at the cruise terminal around 11:45 to find a very long line. We were handed memos stating that passengers would be allowed to board at 1:30 (the line did not start moving until then!) & that cabins would be ready at 2:00. We were onboard by 2:45, headed to our cabins & off to Sur Mer for fish and chips. Did the muster drill and then headed to the casino for a couple of Funship specials.
Cabin: Lido 9202 - We originally booked an inside cabin on the Empress deck, but when the time came for final payment, our PVP notified us that the price of our room had decreased and she offered to move us up to an obstructed OV cabin on the Lido deck. This ended up being a handicapped cabin, but our PVP assured us that if someone needed to be accommodated with a handicapped room, that we would be bumped to a different cabin. This was More fine by us, as we did not feel right at first taking a HC cabin. The cabin was larger than an inside and had a roomy bathroom equipped for people who use wheelchairs. The OV faced the front of the ship, which was really cool! There was a public deck outside our window, which at times was annoying to hear people stomping around on. The view was not very obstructed; we could see the ocean and land when we pulled into port. The only drawback to this location was that it was right next to the Steward Station& every morning around 5 AM, the Lido deck stewards would come and stock up their carts with glasses and such. Lots of loud voices, banging, and glasses clanging. At least we didnt hear many people running and screaming up and down the halls as much as in our previous cruise.
First day at sea: Explored the ship, which at first was a bit difficult to navigate. I remembered the year before on Elation, there are only a few decks that go all the way through forward to aft. This can be tricky until you become familiar with the layout. We used decks 5 and 9 more than any. Went to check out the pools and found the adult pool aft. During the day, it truly IS an adult-only pool. I was impressed to find security out there all day, directing children away from the pool and hot tubs. Once evening came, however, it was a free-for-all. This was our first formal night and also the Captains cocktail party. We had late dinner seating, which I completely prefer. I dont like to have to rush to get ready for dinner. We are never ready to get out of the pool and sun, so the 8:00 dinner worked out well for us. The Captains cocktail party was a lot of fun; great hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. The band, Blood Power a cover band, played and they sounded really good. Glad we made it to the party.
Second day at sea: Swam some more in the aft pool and walked around to take pictures of the ship. Tried out the cheeseburger and fries at the Lido grill very tasty! We were invited to attend the past guest party at 5 PM, but were having too much fun in the sun and didnt feel like getting dressed. We just wanted to relax with no kind of itinerary.
Montego Bay, Jamaica: Jamaica is beautiful! We booked independently through A-Z Jamaica Planners to go to Negril for the day. Clive was our driver and he took us to Negril beach we used a hotels facilities for several hours, I think it was called Tree House Resort& it was very close to Margaritaville Negril, so after a few hours of swimming, we headed there for cheeseburgers and margaritas. Negril beach is stunningly beautiful... white, soft sand and beautiful water. There were a few locals trying to sale us things, including pot, hash, mushrooms, cocaine& you get the picture. It wasnt too bad, though. At no time did I feel unsafe. We spent some time at Margaritaville and were planning to go to the west end of Negril to watch some cliff diving when it began to rain. It rained for quite a while and dampened our plans to see the cliffs. We headed back to Montego Bay and only had time to stop at one shop in the hip strip. Clive took us to a place to get Blue Mountain Coffee and souvenirs and while we were there, we were solicited several more times to buy various substances. Some people were very aggressive, but I wouldnt let this stop you from visiting the island of Jamaica. Jamaica is a gorgeous, lush island with much to offer, even though it is very poor and some of the locals are extremely desperate. I would definitely recommend going to Negril (or any other excursion) with A-Z Jamaica Planners. They are a reliable company and it makes more sense to give your money to a local company, rather than making the Carnival Corporation even wealthier.
Grand Cayman Island: Not quite as breathtaking as Jamaica, but very clean and regulated. The water was clear and the sand was very soft and pristine. We booked the stingray and coral gardens snorkeling excursion through Captain Marvins. I would highly recommend using this local company. They were all very kind, laid back folks and treated us very well. It was a small group of us on the excursion, which made the experience all the better. Coral gardens had some amazing sea life. So much to see! We saw a starfish, barracuda, and other creatures I dont recall the names of. From there, we went on to stingray city and were surprised to see how comfortable the stingrays were with us. They are awesome animals! Glad to have experienced them. We wanted to check out Rum Point beach, but again, just didnt have enough time.
Cozumel: Wow -- this was our first time in Cozumel and we loved it! The most laid back place of all. We could have stayed there forever! Did some shopping and ate at Panchos Backyard. Their guacamole was heaven! Had some margaritas and proceeded to do more shopping when we noticed we were running short on time. We caught a taxi and went to Mr. Sanchos beach. My sister and her husband went here several years ago and absolutely loved it. Its not as crowded as Paradise Beach, and is beautiful and friendly. Plenty of stuff to do here. There is a bar/grill, shopping, jet skis, parasailing, horseback riding, and on and on& We only had time to spend about an hour and a half here and unfortunately had to rush back to the ship. The water was crystal clear, very calm& we could see striped fish swimming around us. Next time, we will bring our own snorkel equipment and will definitely return to Mr. Sanchos. LOVED Cozumel! One tip I can offer& if you are looking for beaded or sea shell necklaces, there is a stand on the pier as youre waiting in line for the tender back who sell these types of necklaces/jewelry/souvenirs for a dollar each! We saw some of the same things along the main drag that were marked way up!
Last day at sea: The last day at sea is always the best. We took advantage of every moment -- laid in the sun, swam, drank margaritas, watched the sea& even tried out the slide a couple of times I highly recommend the slide, even if youre older, dont worry& there were plenty of adults riding it (multiple times). I really enjoy sea days& its so relaxing and really helps you put life into perspective.
Debarkation: My dad had to catch an early flight out of Houston, so we did self assist debarkation and were off the ship just before 8 AM. It was very smooth, no problems.
Food: Food overall was fair to good. Some entrees were excellent, others bland and heavily processed. We skipped out of the dining room Thursday and Friday nights& we were just too tired from rushing around in the ports. The deli was pretty good; had a decent Reuben on rye. My boyfriend loved Sur Mer (upstairs from Cezanne buffet). He had some awesome ceviche and calamari. The pizza was also great I ate several different kinds and liked them all. For breakfast, I had omelets most mornings, which I loved. Tried out the buffet a few times, but the scrambled eggs were very wet and had a strange texture. I heard the French toast was very good.
Entertainment: Cant comment too much on this. We only attended the Legends show on the last night of the cruise& it was hilarious! They had passengers imitate singers like Elvis, Madonna, etc... we laughed a lot. I really enjoyed the pool band the Island Men & loved the Bob Marley songs they played!
The ship: The Conquest is a beautiful ship! I loved the Impressionist art theme& the atrium has murals of works of art from Rousseau, Degas, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, and many others. The ship is very clean and well-maintained.
Overall comments: This ship is HUGE. I couldnt help comparing the Conquest to Elation, which is smaller with fewer passengers. I really felt that the massive number of passengers on the Conquest kept them from being able to offer a more personal touch. On Elation, it felt more intimate and neighborly. The dining staff was able to devote more attention to you and were not quite as overworked as the crew on Conquest (or so it seemed). Our wait staff on the Conquest was awesome, but they had so many tables to tend to that I felt badly for them. It just wasnt the same in that regard. Considering the number of people the crew is caring for, they do a spectacular job. We had such an awesome time on this cruise and I would recommend it to anyone. I wish I were back on the ship already! Less

SCU investigation leads to arrest of six people Wednesday
By FAITH HUFFMAN, News-Telegram News Editor
Feb. 14, 2008 - Several months of investigation into reported narcotics activity in a Fuller Street home resulted Wednesday in six people going to jail on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to possession of drug paraphernalia and controlled substances.
Sulphur Springs-Hopkins County Special Crimes Unit investigators are still following up on the reports of narcotics trafficking on Fuller Street.
"This is an ongoing investigation by SCU, and there may be additional arrest from lengthy investigation," said SCU Lt. Ron Plaxco
Officers began receiving reports of narcotic activity in the 600 block of Fuller Streets some time back. After several months of investigation, SCU officers took the information they had gathered to the district attorney's office. The DA found sufficient evidence to help the officers obtain a narcotics search warrant at 603 Fuller St.
Due to the reported narcotics activity and the possible presence of unknown subjects in the residence, the Special Response Team, composed of officers from Sulphur Springs Police Department and Hopkins County Sheriff's Office, was called in to assist. The tactical team made the initial entry at the Fuller Street residence around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. Overall, eight people were detained at the location, with two later released with no charges filed against them.
Officers found one 42-year-old man found in the yard when they arrived and place him under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia when he was found to have a metal pipe, similar to those used to smoke narcotics, in his pocket.
Officers found another man with a crack pipe after entering the home. A search of the residence revealed usable amounts of crack cocaine, which resulted in the arrest of two Sulphur Springs men, ages 26 and 37, and a woman, also 26.
Another woman became belligerent toward officers and was taken into custody for disorderly conduct after using foul language.
Sulphur Springs Police Chief Jim Bayuk Thursday morning said the Special Crime Unit is a vital part of the local law enforcement team.
"The community is blessed to have such dedicated narcotics enforcement officers that can address such problems when they arise in this community," Bayuk said. "As far as I am concerned, this unit is vital in enforcement of narcotics violations. The city police and sheriff's office would not have enough or experienced officers for narcotics enforcement in the city or county without SCU."
"We are very strong about cleaning up and ridding the community of crime, including narcotics," said Hopkins County Sheriff Butch Adams, commending the officers on this effort.
The team of three officers -- Lt. Ron Plaxco and Sgt. Harold McClure from the city, and Sgt. Tony Crouse from Hopkins County Sheriff's Office -- recently added another county officer, Brad Strawn.
"This is a four-man team now," Bayuk said. "Brad if very valuable in that he has prior narcotics enforcement experience, which makes him an additional asset to the team already in place."

This is a guess, but if the "+", the WM and the SSM are all together,
could the SSM be Sunday School Methodist? I've been looking at the
York County map a lot recently and notice that the churches are
usually marked as stars.
I've also found PM for Paper Mill and WM meaning Woollen Mill. The
mills are circles with crosses inside and they are usually by rivers.

Brookings Mountain West presents "Three African Futures" a talk by John Page, senior fellow, Global Economy and Development.
Africa has experienced a remarkable turn-around in economic performance since 1995. It grew at around 4.6 percent per year during the first decade of the 21st century, and the region boasts three of the world's ten fastest-growing countries. Cheerleaders as diverse as the Economist and the World Bank have branded Africa the developing world's next "frontier market". But beneath the headlines lie some disturbing realities. Africa is not creating enough good jobs – those capable of paying decent wages and providing opportunities to develop skills – and it is not reducing poverty at the same rate as other parts of the developing world. The sources of growth remain heavily concentrated in rising commodity prices and new discoveries of natural resources. This lecture looks at the economic prospects for Africa through the lens of three stylized African futures – business as usual, a dominant role for natural resources, and a new strategy for growth – to provide a deeper understanding of the possibilities and constraints African governments face as they try to secure shared prosperity for the continent.

Former Coca-Cola executive to speak at USC
Neville Isdell, former chairman and CEO of the Coca-Cola Co., believes businesses must engage with their communities to solve social challenges and ensure sustainable and profitable growth in the 21st century.
He calls it "connected capitalism," and it will be the topic of his Oct. 8 talk at the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management's (HRSM) Dean's Executive Lecture Series. The program is set for 6 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Russell House Ballroom, and is open to the public.
The topic of the lecture is taken from the last chapter of his book, "Inside Coca-Cola: A CEO's Life Story of Building the World's Most Popular Brand." In the book, he writes, "If the issues facing society are to be successfully addressed, a new model is required in the way governments, civil society and business work together. This will require businesses themselves to change how they relate to society in order to maintain the social license to operate. Without these changes the legitimacy of capitalism will be undermined and indeed challenged."
Isdell's appearance is sponsored by HRSM and USC student government.
HRSM Dean Brian Mihalik said, "Mr. Isdell is a fellow ex-rugby player as well as friend of USC and the College of HRSM. His daughter, Cara, and son-in-law, Zak, both are HRSM graduates. Further, our college believes in the principles of 'connected capitalism' as we try to expand our international initiatives across business sectors crucial to global economies."
Isdell worked for the soft drink giant 43 years, and led the company from 2004-2009.
During his tenure, Isdell expanded the company's legacy as a leader in corporate responsibility. Under his direction, Coca-Cola took on the then-emerging concept of sustainability and made it a priority in the company's culture, ensuring its role as a community-connected 21st century enterprise.
This strategy resulted in Coca-Cola's return to Fortune Magazine's "World Most Admired Companies" list in 2006. In 2009, the company moved up to the No. 12 spot in global ranking in Fortune Magazine.
A native of Ireland, Isdell joined The Coca-Cola Company's Zambian office in 1966 and moved steadily up the ranks. In 1972, he became general manager of Coca-Cola Bottling of Johannesburg; 1980, region manager, Australia; 1981, president of the bottling joint venture between Coca-Cola and San Miguel Corporation, Philippines; 1985, president of Coca-Cola's Central European Division; 1989, senior vice president and president of the Northeast Europe/Africa Group, leading the company's re-entry into new markets in India, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
In 1995, Isdell was named president of the Greater Europe Group. From 1998 to 2000, he served as chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Beverages Plc in Great Britain.
Isdell retired as vice-chairman of Coca-Cola HBC in 2001. In 2004, he came out of retirement and was named Coca-Cola chairman and CEO.
He chairs the Investment Climate Facility for Africa, which is a partnership between governments, private companies and development partners focused on providing tangible improvements to Africa's investment climate.
Isdell, also a member of the board of directors of General Motors and a recipient of the Clinton Global Citizen Award, received a bachelor's degree in social sciences from the University of Cape Town and is a graduate of the Harvard Business School Professional Management Development program.

|History for Archer-Epler Musketeers
|Upper Darby, PA
|Active Alumni Corps founded in 1932
|Did you march Archer-Epler Musketeers?
|Picture Gallery
|homepage: http://www.monmouth.com/~bpsb4a/
The Archer-Epler Musketeers was one of the most successful senior drum and bugle corps in the history of the activity. It was formed in 1945 by returning war veterans who were also veterans of the Musketeers junior corps. That latter group had been formed in 1932 by the VFW Post 279 of Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.
The new senior version of the Archer-Epler Musketeers ("Archie" to its friends)was the greater Philadelphia senior drum corps. The corps was very successful in the 1950s and 1960s, winning the VFW National Championship in 1954 and claiming more than a dozen Pennsylvania state titles with the VFW and American Legion.
The corps believes that it presented the first ever themed show, "The King and I," in 1957. They also became charter members of DCA in 1962.
The corps fielded a junior corps for many years, as well as an alumni corps beginning in 1975.
Although not competing, the corps was active in the 1980s with parades, exhibitions, and a choral group.
World Drum Corps Hall of Famer Jim Cossetti played with the Musketeers in the 1960s and instructed their horn line for another three decades.

A retired barrister from York will soon return to the forest where he hid for weeks during 1944 to evade capture by the Germans after D-Day.
Raymond Worrall, now 90, is believed to be the last English survivor of 152 airmen who lived rough in two concealed camps in the Forest of Freteval near Orleans in central France.
At the risk of their own lives, the local French resistance protected and fed the servicemen until they were rescued by the Allies in Operation Sherwood, hours before the Nazis started searching the area for them.
Now Mr Worrall has been invited back to mark the 70th anniversary of the event.
He said: "It's very uplifting to see that our French colleagues still recall the forest and the remarkable events of 70 years ago. There is absolutely no doubt that were it not for the efforts of the French Resistance, I would not be alive today, nor many of the aircrew who shared those days in the forest with me, memories which will live with me forever. We owe them an enormous debt of gratitude and I'm looking forward very much to making the return in the hope of seeing – and walking - into the forest once more – perhaps for the final time.
"It will be an emotional moment because when I enter the forest on June 28, it will be 70 years since I was taken in there on July 28, 1944. I only wish my colleagues were with me."
Mr Worrall was a 20-year-old flight engineer when he had to bail out over occupied France from a Lancaster bomb en route to Stuttgart in Germany. After living on his wits for three days, he was spotted by the French Resistance and taken to the camps, whose members dodged enemy patrols daily.
The anniversary commemorations on June 28 and June 29 have been organised by the citizens and local councillors for Villebout and Bellande.
After the war, Mr Worrall qualified as a barrister and worked on the North Eastern circuit for 20 years.

DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland's government announced Tuesday it will impose euro1 billion ($1.35 billion) in new taxes to help the bailed-out country reduce its deficits as international donors expect.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan said he would increase charges on Irish drivers, home owners, savers, smokers and many others in hopes of rolling back the 2012 deficit to below 8.6 percent of GDP, the next goal set by Ireland's European and International Monetary Fund financiers.
"Personal wealth has been destroyed, thousands of people are sinking into poverty, emigration has returned and unemployment is far too high," Noonan told a somber parliamentary chamber. "The task of this government is to regain control over Ireland's fiscal and economic policies, to grow the economy again and to get people back to work."
Noonan's biggest tax-raising measure will increase sales tax by 2 points to an Irish-record 23 percent. Opposition lawmakers and business chiefs decried the move as likely to stoke inflation and make Ireland less competitive.
But Noonan said Ireland's commitment to austerity was paying dividends, with this year's deficit expected to decline to 10.1 percent of GDP versus previous estimates of 10.6 percent, a target set in Ireland's November 2010 bailout deal with the EU and IMF.
Ireland's 2012 budget includes euro2.2 billion in spending cuts and euro600 million in additional taxes that were imposed in the current budget. Combined with Tuesday's tax hikes, the total impact on reducing the 2012 deficit should be euro3.8 billion.
The Irish still face at least three more years of austerity budgets to get their deficit back within the eurozone limit of 3 percent of GDP. Ireland this year is spending euro57 billion — including more than euro10 billion in aid to nationalized banks — but collecting barely euro34 billion in taxes.
Ireland last year recorded a modern European record deficit of 32 percent because of the exceptional cost of bailing out five Dublin banks on the brink of default. Those bailout efforts, begun in late 2008 as the country's long property boom collapsed, could end up costing more than euro70 billion.
Noonan said the key to Irish recovery rested with its approximately 1,000 foreign multinationals that account for barely 5 percent of jobs but 18 percent of GDP. He didn't touch Ireland's 12.5 percent tax rate on corporate profits, a major magnet for foreign investment that draws regular criticism from high-tax France and Germany.
He also took about 330,000 of Ireland's most poorly paid workers out of the net for income taxes, raising the entry point from euro4,000 to euro10,000 ($13,500). He didn't otherwise touch income-tax rates or bands following three years of salary hits on Ireland's dwindling work force.
But practically everything else faces higher charges in a country where unemployment sits near an 18-year high of 14.5 percent. Noonan estimated that the hike in sales tax taking effect Jan. 1 would raise euro670 million ($900 million) extra next year.
A few tax hikes took effect immediately. Tax on a packet of cigarettes rose euro0.25, while tax on motor fuel — which currently costs around euro1.50 per liter ($7.70 a gallon) — increased 1.5 cents (2 U.S. cents).
Car owners faced much tougher taxes in the new year, particularly those who operate relatively new, environmentally friendly cars.
Ireland's previous government, which included the environmentalist Green Party, introduced a new system of annual car taxes that imposed punitive charges on operators of older gas guzzlers and offered tax breaks to those who used new, low-emission cars.
Noonan announced hikes to all categories of cars in the hope of raising an extra euro47 million next year. Those in the cheapest band of "green" cars will see their annual tax rise 54 percent to euro160 ($215), while those operating the worst-polluting, big-engined vehicles would see the annual charge rise 7 percent to euro2,258 ($3,045).
Noonan announced measures designed to raise Ireland's housing market from the dead. New home purchasers were offered the chance to receive tax rebates on their mortgage-payment interest — but only if they buy in 2012.

Immunomedics, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMMU) is a small biopharmaceutical company that develops treatments for cancer, Lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. Its drugs are all in their development stages and the Company has yet to come up with a drug it can sell. Without drug sales, it had a negative net profit in 2007 due to spending $19,841,000 on research. [1] In 2006, Immunomedics (IMMU) and UCB (a large, Belgian pharmaceuticals firm) entered a collaboration to fund, produce, and market Immunomedics' lead product, Epratuzumab, a new drug for use in treating cancer and autoimmune diseases like Lupus. [2] Through the collaboration, UCB became the primary means of funding Immunomedics' research, giving UCB control over segments of IMMU's business, such as running trials. [3] The company faces the challenge of controlling its projects while appeasing fund-contributing companies.
Immunomedics has a smaller amount of capital, with less funding, less marketing, and less ability to obtain approval from the government for testing and manufacturing in comparison to other drug companies. [4] Before it starts selling drugs in the US, the Company has to find means of finishing research, getting approved by the FDA, and competing against more powerful pharmaceuticals. However, it claims to have the next generation of therapeutic drugs for cancer and lupus patients; once approved, the effectiveness of these drugs will be the primary factor driving sales.
Immunomedics doesn't yet have any drugs it can sell so this segment relies on two diagnostic imaging products for revenue in 15 countries. [7] The first product, CEA-Scan, is a used to detect cancerous lesions in patients and is sold only in Japan and Europe. Sales of the CEA-Scan increased by $737,000 in 2007, going from $2, 254,000 to $2,991,000, due to higher demand in Europe. [8] The LeukoScan is the second product available, which produces immediate quality images for patients with bone infections or with diabetic foot ulcers.<re>Immunomedics announces positive clinical results for LeukoScan </ref> On January 20, 2006 the device received approval from the European Regulatory Agency and has since been sold in Europe, as well as the U.S. [9] Due to increased sales, the first period of 2008 saw a 3% revenue increase, with a revenue of $860,000 compared to $839,000 for the same period in 2007. [10] The Company, however, wants to one day move from selling machinery to focusing on the sales of therapeutic drugs.
The License Fee segment sells the Company's research licenses and patents. It also obtains interest income from the Company's investment. In 2007, the License Fee revenue was $5,335,000. [12] $1,520,000 came from the Company's partnership with UCB on June 30, 2006. [13] UCB bought the license to produce Epratuzumab, Immunomedics' lead product in the approval process that targets cancers like lymphoma and autoimmune diseases like Lupus..
The final segment of Immunomedics, Research and Development, spent approximately $19,841,000 for its drug programs in 2007, $22,781,000 in 2006, and $27,028,000 in 2005. [14] The 13% decrease in spending from 2006 to 2007 comes from an agreement in March 2006 to transfer later phases of clinical trials to UCB. [15] To pay for the expenses of researching, the Company obtains payments through investors, partnerships with other companies, and grants. UCB is paying Immunomedics $31,145,000 and the Company has recorded this payment as deffered revenue. [16] Amgen paid $18,000,000 for five year, but the its last payment of $275,000 was received in 2003. [17] In early 2004, the Company had issues with the timing of grant programs, and lost $50,000 in revenue. [18] It is becoming harder for Immunomedics to get money from investments and grants, especially since the company has yet to come out with an approved, marketable drug. Thus, revenues for the three-month period in March 2008 decreased 30% from $67,000 for the same period in 2007 to $45,000.[19]
Immunomedics is not a profitable company because of high costs of research and development and low revenue from sales of its two imaging devices and its licenses:
|Net Loss
|Net Profit Margin
|Total Costs
|Total Revenue
In June 2005, Immunomedics submitted its most recent drug for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). [21] The drug, IMMU-103, has been in the process of approval since 2005. [22] According to the Company, following regulation and obtaining approval from the FDA is a timely and costly process. [23] In September of 2006, the FDA put a hold on the IMMU-103 project and stopped clinical trials because of a sterility issue in the final product. [24] After a legal battle, the hold was lifted at the end of November 2006. In order to become a profitable biopharmaceutical Company, Immunomedics needs FDA approval for its drugs so it can sell them and there is no guarantee the Company will get approval.
Immunomedics' main costs come from research and trials. Additionally, the Company has added costs of dealing with the FDA, obtaining and protecting patents, and marketing. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $219,000,000. [25] To obtain revenue and funding, the Company taps into its investments, uses grants, and obtains resources from investors and partners. Like most other industries, the Company is also not immune from economic problems because it uses public equity markets and its debt for some funding. [26] Its funding from equity decreased in 2007 and 2008 as the market took a bad turn. Along with losing $50,000 from grants, the only other mean of funding for the company has been its collaboration with UCB. UCB is paying $38 million, marked as deferred revenue by Immunomedics, for the license of Epratuzumab. [27] UCB funds and runs clinical trials and obtains the necessary regulatory approvals. Immunomedics says it is "dependent on UCB", especially since UCB has stopped IMMU-103's clinical trials in order to conduct its own research. [28] Immunomedics is searching for supplementary means of funding in order to regain control of developing its products.
With 108 US patents and 285 patents worldwide, Immunomedics is in the business of developing new cancer and autoimmune disease treatment ideas. [29] The competitive biotechnology industry has biopharmaceutical companies like Genentech (DNA) and Biogen Idec (BIIB) that have a drug, Rituximab, in development quite similar to Immunomedics' Epratuzumab. [30] As all these similar products develop, get approved, and begin selling to the same consumer groups, legal issues are likely to arise regarding patent infringements and intellectual property rights. Immunomedics, being a smaller company, does not have the funding that large companies like Genentech have to fight legal battles.[31] Along with external legal issues, Immumedics deals with internal legalities, as well. In October of 2006, former employees sued the Company for rights to three patents. [32] The employees are claiming the patented development ideas belong to them. The trial is still in process.
Larger biopharmaceutical companies have the means to work with other biopharmaceutical companies to develope biotechnologies that directly compete with Immunomedics' products. By 2006, Genentech and Biogen Indec's had created a drug that directly competed with Immunomedics' Epratuzumab. [33] These companies, as well as academic institutions, governmental agencies and private research organizations, have more outlets for funding, recruiting, and retaining highly qualified personnel. They also have other drugs they sell, helping them obtain revenues in the billions of dollars in order to fund more research:
|Total Revenues in millions
|Gross Profit in millions
|Net Profit Margin
|Number of Employees
|Biogen Idec (BIIB)
|Genentech (DNA)
|Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY)
|Immunomedics (IMMU)
The companies listed above are merely ones that compete with Immunomedics on its most advanced drugs, epratuzumab and IMMU-103. There are around 15 companies with billion dollar revenues that will compete with Immunomedics' other drugs including Eli Lilly and Wyeth. [35]

Nov 13, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorVeteran high school football official Mike Harris now worked a state title game in every Wyoming classification.
Harris and his Riverton crew were on the field for the Class 1-A 6-man championship Friday. Dubois beat Little Snake River 54-30 at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
Harris was the referee for the game. Pat Harris was the umpire, Bryon Mowry the linesman, Mitch Larson the line judge and Eric Heiser the back judge.
"We knew after the first week of the playoffs that we were going to work a title game," Mike Harris said. "We just didn't know what championship game it would be."
The officials were notified of their assignment a week in advance of the game.
Mike Harris, Pat Harris, Mowry and Larson have worked together for at least 20 years.
"They make all the difference in the world for us," Mike Harris said.
"I just feel very comfortable with the crew. When they make a call, I'm pretty sure that it's a correct call."
Harris said his crew doesn't always stay the same in the positions. Jeff Hohn also works with the Riverton crew but missed the title game
"We change a lot more during the regular season," Harris said. "We feel more comfortable with those positions in a championship situation.
"It's a very big deal," Harris added. "It's a big deal to work any of them."
6-man format
The Rams and Little Snake River provided plenty of fireworks as the Rattlers built a 24-12 lead after the first quarter.
"The pace of the 6-man game is different," Harris said.
"It's so much more wide open. We knew that the game was going to be fast paced. Even for 6-man the first quarter was pretty quick."
Dubois kept Snake River scoreless in the second quarter and only allowed six points in the third quarter.
"The game settled down in the second half," Harris said.
"I think that Dubois made some adjustments defensively. They just overpowered Little Snake River in the second half. "
The officials threw 10 flags in the game. Dubois was called for four penalties for 25 yards. Snake River was whistled for six penalties and 32 yards.
Harris has a lot of respect for Dubois coach David Trembly.
"I thought that it was very neat to see Dubois win it," Harris said.
"David is a very good coach. He has worked hard when he found out that Dubois was going to 6-man football. He did a lot of research on the 6-man game."
Dubois lost to Snake River in the 2011 Class 1-A 6-man title game.
"You can see the style of play change between when they first started and what they were doing at the end of this year," Harris said. "He has found some things that were good. He was blessed to have some real good athletes."
Rules different
One of the differences between 6-man football and 11-man football is that the quarters are 10 minutes instead of 12 minutes.
"The scoring is a little bit different," Harris said.
After a touchdown in 6-man football, an extra-point run conversion is worth one point, while kicking the extra point is worth two points.
"That is just the opposite in 11-man football," Harris said.
In 6-man football, the team starts out with first and 15 intead of first and 10.
"You also get four points for a field goal instead of three points," Harris said. "It's just pretty wide open."
Harris has been working 6-man football for the past three years.
"You will have some blocks in the back or holding," Harris said.
"There isn't any one penalty that stands out that much.
You will get a few pass interference call. You won't see as much holding in the line because there are only three lineman."
