Princeton Ballet School Welcomes Alum and Fulbright Scholar Casey Lee Thorne for Workshop Today
Today, August 21, 2014, Princeton Ballet School will host a special workshop led by notable alumna and Fulbright Scholar Casey Lee Thorne. Thorne graduated from Princeton Ballet School's Professional Training Program and is Founder and Artistic Director of Inside Out Contemporary Ballet (IOCB), a professional dance company based in Marin, California. She will lead a contemporary dance workshop for advanced dancers at Princeton Ballet School's studios in Princeton, NJ on August 21, 2014 from 11:45 am until 1:15 pm. The workshop is part of Thorne's choreographic project If I Were You - Project Israel, for which she recently received a Fulbright Scholarship.
Throughout her Fulbright grant period, Thorne will be conducting a series of community outreach workshops and engaging in daily dance practice in order to gather written reflections from American and Israeli citizens about what they feel connected to through dancing. If I Were You - Project Israel will culminate in the spring of 2016, when IOCB will perform the new evening-length ballet throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
During Thorne's workshop at Princeton Ballet School, participants will: experience a warm-up inspired by the Gaga movement language; learn some of IOCB's repertoire, choreographed by Thorne; and generate their own movement phrases through choreographic prompts. At the end of the workshop, participants will write their reflections, creating cards that will become part of the set design for Thorne's new work. The workshop will culminate with a short improvised performance by Thorne.
The Gaga movement language was developed by Israeli choreographer and Director of Batsheva Dance Company, Ohad Naharin. Thorne was first introduced to the method while she was earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance at Dominican University. During the summer of 2011, she attended the Batsheva intensive program in Israel for two weeks. Her time studying under Naharin has greatly influenced Thorne's work, as she applies Gaga principles in creating ballets.
"Gaga is not performative," says Thorne. "To apply its principles to ballet technique - something so classical and presentational - opens so many doors."
Thorne looks forward to being back in the homeland of the Gaga technique, where she can explore it more fully. She hopes her work in Israel will challenge and affirm her belief that dance can connect people by exposing personal and universal truths.
"It's an idealistic approach, but I truly believe that dance is a universal language which transcends conflicts," Thorne states. "In light of the recent rise of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I think the final product will show the tenacity of dance and will offer something we can learn from here in America."
Thorne is looking forward sharing part of her process for If I Were You - Project Israel through this workshop at Princeton Ballet School, where she says she "learned how to work well with others in a professional setting and to offer something to society that's beautiful and useful."

Rangers 0 Manchester Utd 1
This was almost too cold an evening to break sweat, and Manchester United scarcely had to against a limited Rangers at icestation Ibrox on Wednesday. Although never quite in stroll mode, the champions of England were tactically and technically too good for Scotland's finest.
Phil Neville's early strike did not reflect the extent of United's dominance in inflicting Rangers' first European home defeat in four years. Alex Ferguson will have enjoyed this return to his old stamping ground, while Rangers counterpart Alex McLeish found his modest resources stretched too far.
Rangers, inexplicably, had no one sitting in front of their hesitant back four in the first half. No shield to resist the strong surges through the middle from a delighted United.
And so the unlikely figure of Neville, who had troubled the scorers only once in his previous 54 European appearances, was granted the freedom of Ibrox to canter through and score after five minutes. Claiming Craig Moore's poor headed clearance, the younger Neville glided through the centre and exchanged passes with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Astonishment melted into anguish for Ibrox. Tackles were noticeable by their absence, embarrassingly so for a group of players with McLeish, such a competitive centre-half, as their manager. Perhaps Rangers felt that United's menace emanated from other sources, not the modest Neville.
Moore and Henning Berg stood off and Neville was presented with one of those rare glimpses of goal in his career; he duly accepted the gift with a low shot that skidded past a startled Stefan Klos.
Rangers were punished for failing to staff, let alone stiffen, the central midfield against a side such as United who counterattack with pace and numbers. Mikel Arteta has many gifts but Rangers cried out for a combative anchorman in the distinctive mould of Roy Keane, the Celtic sympathiser who revelled in this contest and the caustic chants from the home fans.
Assisted by Neville, Keane ran the first half, dominating the central rectangle, protecting his defence and supporting Ryan Giggs and van Nistelrooy.
As the game unfolded, it was clear that McLeish was being outwitted by Ferguson, the apprentice given a painful lesson by the sorcerer. On a cold night by the Clyde, Ferguson had been given the frostiest of receptions by those who used to watch him here. No matter, Ferguson will have smiled to himself, as the boos came his way. He had prepared well, upsetting Rangers' impassioned following by setting the champions of England up so cleverly and abrasively.
Ferguson had clearly targeted Peter Lovenkrands as Rangers' main attacking threat, primarily because of the Danish winger's pace. Scarcely 35 seconds in and John O'Shea, not known for acts of aggression, clattered brutally into Lovenkrands, sending him spinning to the turf, where he lay in agony.
The Dane climbed up gingerly, rearranged his limbs in a more recognisable order and sought to impose his speed on O'Shea. He twice went close, as Rangers flickered into life in the opening period, but was then nastily caught by the busy Quinton Fortune, who had been preferred to Nicky Butt.
United were in control, charging into the huge untenanted space in Rangers' midfield and surviving the odd scare, such as when Paolo Vanoli slid the ball hurriedly wide with only Tim Howard to beat. As a dark half for their idols closed, Ibrox was indebted to Arteta's reactions on the line to deny Mikael Silvestre's header.
The second half opened with the plot-line finally altering. Rangers at last resembled opponents of substance, particularly at set-pieces. Moore saw a header cleared off the line by Neville. Lovenkrands, charging in, had a flying shot blocked. From the ensuing corner, the Dane sent a header thundering goalwards only for Howard to scamper across and collect. Ibrox found its voice and its hope.
McLeish then moved Lovenkrands to the left and nine minutes from time he cut in, wriggled past two defenders and shot from left to right, but wide. Rangers will need a more clinical touch on November 4 at Old Trafford.

Was my TENACITY Too Much?
My daughter Heather has a young man who has been chasing after her for a few weeks now. Heather keeps telling him she is not interested but he keeps calling the house to try to talk to her. Now she is nice to him at school but she isn't interested in him more than that. She is still waiting for Liam Payne from One Direction to ask for her hand in marriage...sooo...
This boy's advances haven't been obnoxious but no means no and I finally felt the need to step in to drive that point home. Last night I had my wife forward all calls to our house in Ohio to my cellphone here in Asheville...and I waited.
Then as I had hoped my phone rang and the number came up as his....
"Hello, John Boy (this kids alias)" I said.
"Ah...hello....is ah Heather available?" He said meekly
"No John Boy...you've reached her daddy. Now John Boy I know you have a serious crush on my daughter. Am I correct in this assumption?" I asked calmly.
"Yeah..." he peeped.
"And is it fair to say that you have been calling my house at least twice a day to talk to her for the last few weeks?" I asked in a stricter tone.
"Maybe...I guess..."
"And Heather has turned you down several times when you have asked her out which Heather informs me was at least three times this week?" I inquired.
I cut him off, "There is no "but" John Boy. No means no. It does not mean you should continue to ask no matter how bad you want to 'date' her. I appreciate your tenacity but understand that the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Department also refers to that has harassment in some cases. In this case you are closing in on the definition set by your local law enforcement opposed to the definition at dictionary.com. Now I would hate for you to have to explain to your parents why the local law dawgs are at their door wishing to talk with their son...so why don't you turn down the tenacity a few clicks and lets keep the dictionary.com definition the reason for this conversation we are having. Do you understand what I mean John Boy?" I waited for his response.
"Yes...if I call again you'll call the cops on me." he said softly.
"Not just call John Boy. If your tenacity to pursue Heather continues in school or online you will force me to use the definition for tenacity established by the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Department. Now are we on the same page?" I waited for a few seconds.
"Yes sir." He replied.
"Good. Now have a good day John Boy. Glad we could have this conversation." Click.
I think I did pretty well, but this is how I really wanted to handle it.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello and welcome.
If you place a TRO on your ex-boyfriend, it will not be on your record.
If your ex-boyfriend places a TRO on you, it will remain until you go to court to decide whether a permanent restraining order will be granted. If the permanent restraining order is granted, it will remain in effect indefinitely unless your ex-boyfriend petitions the court to have it removed.
In the absence of a violation, the long term consequences are minimal (unless you are in a specialized field such as law enforcement or the military). However, if you violate the restraining order, you could be arrested.
Let me know if you would like more information.
Please remember to click "ACCEPT." POSITIVE FEEDBACK is appreciated and reciprocated.
Thank you.

Persons accessing this response are encouraged to seek legal counsel in their jurisdiction for accurate guidance regarding their individual circumstances.
You are not obligated to report the restraining order on applications for employment or rentals, for example. As long as you "stay on the right side of the law," so to speak, there would be no reason that anyone outside of those involved would need to know that you had a restraining order on you.

Duquesne offers new men's basketball coach Ferry job, commitment
The job interview was the easy part of the process that brought Jim Ferry to Duquesne.
In his meetings with athletic director Greg Amodio, Ferry sat down and analyzed the Dukes' roster, five games from the 2011-12 season and what the program needs.
"He showed through his homework and his hard work that he wanted to be the next coach here," Amodio said.
But that was basketball, Ferry's life's work. As he said Thursday during his introductory news conference at Palumbo Center, "I'm a basketball coach, and I'm going to coach forever."
A more decisive moment came when Ferry met with his players, who were "confused" when Ron Everhart was fired three weeks ago, junior guard Sean Johnson said. Ferry quickly erased that.
"He said, 'You're either all-in or all-out,' " Johnson said. "That got us. He's, like, for real. Right then and there, we just felt confidence in him. He is going to treat us like we should be."
"I don't want anybody on the fence," Ferry said.
Ferry sought commitment from his players after guards T.J. McConnell and Mike Talley transferred at the end of the season, and he asked for nothing less from the university in his discussions with Amodio and school president Charles Dougherty.
"Everybody is on board and wants to take this to the next level," Ferry said.
That appears to be the case, considering a nearly 100 percent increase in spending on the program in the past six years, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Education statistics. Amodio and Ferry would not reveal the coach's salary, but the Associated Press reported he will be paid $600,000 per year on a seven-year contract. Everhart never made more than $370,000.
"The university is willing and ready to make additional commitments to make the program better," Amodio said. "(Salary) is another area where we will continue to show a strength in commitment."
Ferry, 44, was one of six coaches interviewed by Amodio in 18 days. He would not identify the other candidates.
"People reach out to you, and you reach out to people," Amodio said. "You can't short-sell the allure of being in the Atlantic 10."
Ferry will bring an up-tempo style to Duquesne after his Long Island team was second in the nation in scoring last season, averaging 81.4 points. He said he recruited the New York City area, but not to a fault. He will use the same critical eye at Duquesne.
"We are going to be here for a while," Ferry said. "We want to make sure we get the right guy, not a guy."
Note: Ferry named assistants Rich Glesmann, who was with him for eight seasons at LIU, and Brian Nash, formerly of Fairfield, to his staff. Nash, a former head coach at St. Francis (N.Y.), will be associate head coach.Additional Information:

The majority of real-life lasers are productive members of society, contrary to their negative Hollywood portrayals as family shrinkers and stealers of guns' jobs. Discover the truth with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $90 for two i-Lipo laser lipo sessions or one Slender Ray treatment (up to a $600 value)
- $150 for four i-Lipo laser lipo sessions or two Slender Ray treatments (up to a $1,200 value)
- $250 for six i-Lipo laser lipo sessions or three Slender Ray treatments (up to a $1,800 value)
During i-Lipo procedures, low levels of laser energy cause adipose cells to release stored fatty acids, naturally slimming down targeted areas without the need for surgery. The i-Lipo Ultra treatments combine laser-diode technology with a vacuum massage that promotes collagen growth and smooth skin in addition to helping reduce adipose volume. Some patients may see a 30% reduction in fat layers after one treatment and periods of light exercise immediately following treatment may be necessary. As with most fat-loss techniques and revenge-fueled quests for immortality, patients should adhere to an active, healthy lifestyle for optimal results. The newest weight-loss technology, the SlenderRay radiant lipolysis treatment is also used to accelerate fat reduction.

A new governor for the Bank of Canada to succeed Mark Carney will be named soon, but not necessarily by the end of April as the government initially indicated, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said.
"You'll recall that I said we're aiming at about the end of April and we're about the end of April and the process is drawing to a close," Flaherty told reporters.
Flaherty had told Reuters on April 12 it would be optimal to have the process finished by the end of the month.
Asked whether the governor would be named by the end of business on Tuesday, Flaherty replied: "No, don't hold me to that. We're not quite at the end of the process but we're near the end of the process so it won't be too long," he said.
Carney is stepping down on June 1 to run the Bank of England, starting in July.
The second-in-command at the central bank, Tiff Macklem, was unanimously viewed as his most likely successor in a Reuters poll on April 10. Macklem is highly regarded for his academic credentials, crisis management skills and financial regulation expertise. He has spent most of his 25-year career at the central bank but also served under Flaherty at the finance ministry during the global financial crisis.
Speculation has swirled in Ottawa, however, that the government, which has the final say on the appointment, may favor an external candidate such as Stephen Poloz, head of the export credit agency, or Darrell Duffie, a Stanford University professor.

Indian telecoms authorities have hit mobile operator Idea Cellular with a fine of INR6 billion ($97 million) for illegally merging with smaller rival Spice Communications, reports the Times of India.
According to press reports, India's Department of Telecommunications (DoT) regarded the tie-up as a "willful" violation of certain licensing conditions preventing a telecoms company from owning more than 10% of another in the same service area.
Although it operates in a number of the same areas as Spice Communications, and was warned about the repercussions of a merger, Idea Cellular (Mumbai, India) went ahead and amassed shares in the company.
"Consequent upon the amalgamation, Idea Cellular was holding two licenses bundled with spectrum in each of the six circles in violation of the license conditions and the guidelines without the required approval," said a DoT committee, according to the Times of India.
The DoT had already ruled the merger illegal and proposed a fine of INR3 billion, but the committee appears to have deemed that penalty somewhat lenient.
The case is the latest in a series of clashes between India's mobile operators and regulatory authorities.
A number of major investors are still reeling from the cancellation in early 2012 of more than 120 telecoms licenses awarded during an auction in 2008.
Authorities claimed the auction process had been mired in corruption and that permits were awarded for just a fraction of their real value.
A number of operators were driven out of the market or forced to massively scale down the size of their Indian operations as a result of the move.
More recently, regulators have attacked operators for striking so-called 'roaming pacts', allowing them to offer 3G services in regions where they do not hold the requisite concessions.
Authorities claim the practice is in breach of licensing conditions, but several operators claim they were led to believe otherwise in advance of the 3G auction process.

EDITORIALS>>Lynching of a judge
Meantime, Judge Griffen, who is black, will have to stand on the scaffold accused and probably convicted of dishonoring his judicial robes by uttering an opinion on moral issues of the day from time to time, usually in his capacity as a minister of the Gospel. The state Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission Monday formally accused the judge again of violating the code of conduct for judges by expressing opinions while he was not on the bench.
Yes, that is the charge. Now the commission will hold a hearing, where Griffen will dispute the accusation, and then it will discipline him. The discipline could be a rebuke, a suspension or expulsion from his position on the Court of Appeals, to which people have twice elected him. Then, two or three years from now, the Arkansas Supreme Court or a federal court will overturn the sanction and restore his good name. All that has already happened once, but the commission by a narrow vote wants to try one more time.
In the interim, he will seek re-election, and voters might assume that the commissions rebuke or whatever else it does means that he really has done something wrong and defeat him. One candidate has already been emboldened to run against him in 2008.
Here is what Judge Griffen is accused of doing:
Soon after Hurricane Katrina in September 2005 he criticized the federal governments response to the hurricane in a discussion at an NAACP banquet. The remark got in a newspaper.
A couple of days earlier, during a discussion at a Baptist convention in Columbus, Ga., (Rev. Griffen was an officer of the national Baptist association) he talked about the qualifications of John Roberts to be chief justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, apparently not favorably. A story in the little Georgia paper characterized it as criticizing Roberts nomination. Someone sent the article to the Arkansas commission.
Last year, Rev. Griffen was one of a number of ministers who wrote letters formally endorsing an increase in the minimum wage. They were released at a press conference. Griffens was on his ministerial stationery, not the courts. He also was on record making a comment defending the rights of homosexuals. They were Gods children, too.
James Badami, the commissions director and Judge Griffens prosecutor, maintains that these deeds destroyed public confidence in the courts independence and impartiality. This was his reasoning: If someone who liked the governments handling of Katrina, or supported John Roberts, or opposed the minimum wage or hated homosexuals had a case before Judge Griffen he would wonder whether the judge would be fair to him.
The fact is that the mans lawyer could tell him the backgrounds, philosophy and perhaps the specific views of all the judges hearing the case. Almost everyone who runs for a judgeship in our elective system has a public record. Most members of the Arkansas Supreme Court, who will eventually hear Griffens case, were active in politics before they went on the court. Lawyers and in some cases much of the electorate knew their political views when they ran for the court although they may not have reiterated them in the campaign.
Judge Griffen has uttered no public thought about any issue that is before the court or likely to go there, unlike several white judicial candidates of recent years. If he did, of course, he would need to recuse from such a case, as judges do all the time. But all of that is beside the point. The First Amendment guarantees everyone the right to express their opinion in the marketplace of ideas, and it does not except appellate judges. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a ruling adopted by the courts conservative wing, affirmed that years ago.
Badami, who incidentally is known to hold opposite views from Griffen on at least one of his utterances (about homosexuals), knows that the courts will ultimately sustain Griffens right to express his pastoral views on issues of the day, notwithstanding that on weekdays he wears a robe and not a clerical collar. But putting the judge in the dock may accomplish what his foes have been unable to do at the ballot box. They should not be allowed to succeed.


text: CCU Debate Team Earns High Marks Friday, January 11, 2013 at 4:30 PM The Colorado Christian University debate team swept through the Great Salt Lake Invitational last weekend, winning the junior varsity division of the tournament. The duo of Caleb Rawson and Matthew Erickson dropped no ballots -- every judge they saw ruled for them -- on their way to the championship. "I was very proud and excited with how the debate team performed," said Dr. Chris Leland, director of debate at CCU. "This tournament is tough because they're coming off a holiday and out of practice. But Caleb Rawson and Matthew Erickson were on a team at the beginning of the year, and then were able to be paired here again."Students are given topics -- and the positions they must take on those topics -- in parliamentary style debate and then have 20 minutes to prep. Therefore, staying abreast of current events and up-to-date on research is essential for debaters, and they all have regular research assignments. The longstanding tournament saw 34 attendees this year, with schools ranging from Pepperdine, Berkeley, and UCLA to the University of Wisconsin and Loyola University Chicago. Rawson and Erickson topped University of Nevada, Reno in the final.Judges, in addition to determining a team winner, rank each speaker based on performance. The rankings are then compiled to determine the top overall speakers of the tournament. Rawson was named the second best speaker, while Erickson nabbed the top spot.CCU also had an outstanding showing in the individual events, which are not separated into divisions. Erin Shumaker, the other member of the team to travel to the invitational, placed third in persuasive speaking. Erickson was tabbed a finalist in extemporaneous speaking, while Rawson earned the top spot, placing first in informative speaking. The business and accounting major spoke on how to save Social Security. "He did a phenomenal job of making his topic understandable, logical, and enjoyable -- it is an entertaining speech," noted Leland.Beyond an excellent showing for the second year team, highlights of the trip included time spent with other debate teams. "We try to engage with other debaters outside of the arena -- over meals -- and I love listening to the conversations that continue there," said Dr. Leland. "Issues brought up in debates continue to be explored, and our students aren't afraid to mention how faith affects various positions." For the debate team, only in its second year, the future -- whether in competition or outside of it -- is bright.

PS4 Bricking: Early PS4 Issues And How To Fix Them
Early reports of PS4 not working have surfaced, with the main issue appearing to be related to the PS4 OS, bricking PS4 consoles.
The issue appears to be that despite the blue pulse appearing when the console is switched on, the PS4 won't load.
The PS4 hasn't gone on sale yet, so these are isolated incidents restricted to the few PS4s that have gone out pre-release to media and competition winners.
Incredibly, despite these issues being discovered ahead of the PS4's release and Sony refusing support (as the console isn't official on sale yet), a fix has already been discovered by Reddit.
To fix a bricked PS4, you have to take the following steps:
- Unplug your HDD
- Boot the console without the HDD – it will load Safe Mode and ask for a HDD
- Switch off, plug in the HDD and boot the console
- PS4 will load into safe mode and you can recover the necessary OS data
We won't know until launch how widespread these issues are, nor how effective this fix will be in zapping all those problems, but it's still worrying that reports of PS4's bricking have reared their head so close to the official US console launch this Friday.

East Wayne Street
The East Wayne Street local historic district was designated by ordinance in 1987. The neighborhood is a example of 1920s suburban development and reflects the prosperous years just prior to the Great Depression. In the 19th century, the area was farmland located immediately outside the town of Lowell (founded 1837) on land purchased in 1859 by David Greenwalt, an affluent farmer and real estste developer.
In the 1860s, the Saint Jospeh County Farm and Asylum was located immediately to the east of the area. Jacob F. and John M. Studebaker, partners in the Studebaker Brothers company, bought Greenwalt`s farm and other lots during the 1870s. They eventually owned most of the surrounding area that became the Sunnymede development.
The Studebakers built country estates on their land. John`s property, called Sunnyside, was built due north and was demolished in the 1950s. The oldest existing house in the area was built for Ida Studebaker in 1895 at 1243 E. Jefferson. Other prominent industrialists also built residences here, including the John Birdsell house at 1249 E. Jefferson, and the more elaborate Beaux-Arts residence of Clement Studebaker Jr., constructed in 1909 at 107 South Greenlawn (originally 1701 E. Jefferson). Vincent Bendix, founder of the Bendix Corporation, later owned this residence.
Whitcomb and Keller`s Sunnymede Addition, which the East Wayne district is located within, was platted in 1925. The historic district encompasses the central portion of the addition originally extending from Eddy to 18th Street (now called Greenlawn) and from Jefferson to the Grand Trunk Railroad tracks. This was the first of six Sunnymede additions developed by Leslie Whitcomb and Fred Keller.
The subdivision was built to attract professionals to a part of the city that had already become an exclusive enclave for the more prosperous members of the community. The majority of residences were constructed between 1925 and 1930. It was accessible to both Mishawaka and South Bend via the Eddy Street streetcar line, making it a convenient area to live.
Sunnymede was modeled after design principals suggested by landscape architects such as Frederick Law Olmstead in the late nineteenth century. These proponents of suburban design suggested the inclusion of curvilinear, tree-lined streets, park areas, and open spaces as important elements of planned neighborhoods. Most houses here were designed in variations of the Tudor, Period or Colonial Revival styles. Knute Rockne, Notre Dame`s famous football coach, lived at 1417 East Wayne in 1929 until his death in 1931.

Betty has won over 70 awards (over a dozen of them for Best Of Show), for her vibrant watercolors. As a result of international competitions she has paintings featured in 6 major art books, including 3 books in the SPLASH series. Articles about her and her paintings have appeared in several major art magazines, including International Artist, and Australian Artist magazines, as well as the cover of our local, Elite magazine. As a result of an invitation by the editors of International Artist Publications to author and illustrate a book on painting flowers and gardens, her first book, "10 SECRET GARDENS IN WATERCOLOR", was published in 2005.
Since then she has appeared as a guest lecturer, demonstrator and judge. Her work is included in several major corporate collections as well as in many noted private collections. Her love of florals and still lifes flourishes, but has lately been overshadowed by her passion for marine scenes. When recently asked for advice from aspiring students, she answered "Travel". Seeing new places and sights, is a great source of stimulation. Her favorite haunts for her marine scenes are the coast of Maine, Coastal villages of England (mostly Cornwall), and, of course the Chesapeake.

How do I find sports schedules?Check in the individual sports pages on jesuitportland.org/Athletics for the most current information on contests. It is wise to consult the schedule before departing for any contest, especially in the spring!
Where can I find directions?www.jesuitportland.org schedules have underlined links for each school; these are directions to those locations.
What are ticket prices?The Metro League, including Jesuit, has gone to a standard ticket price of $6 for adults and $4.00 for students. Jesuit students are admitted free to all home and away league contests in which Jesuit is competing. Student admission is $4.00 at away non-league games. Seniors 65 or older and kids under 5 are free. Jesuit individual and family season passes will be sold at the first home contest for that sport. These season passes do not entitle the bearer to admission at other schools.
Where can I see results / scores?The individual sport pages on www.jesuitportland.org will have results posted. Check twww.metroleague.org for scores, schedules and standings across the League. The Athletic Department does not keep stats in the office. Contact your team coach for stats.
How do I contact a coach?Email is the most efficient way to contact a coach. On-staff coaches can be reached at "first initial+last name @jesuitportland.org." Off-campus coaches can be reached through the email they publish to their teams or through messages left with Martha Cope. All coaches' on-campus phone extensions are listed on the web site under "Contact a Coach." Off-campus coaches' phone numbers are not available unless they release them.
When do we get to see rosters?At the latest, we should have JV and Varsity rosters ready and on the Metro League website (www.metroleague.org) by the first contest. JV2 rosters will take longer to publish. Programs will be published for most home JV and Varsity contests. Rosters and stats, if made available, will be updated in each publication. If you see a mistake in the roster that's published, please contact Martha Cope and we will correct the roster. Rosters across the League can be viewed at www.metroleague.org, as they are made available by eachschool.
How do I know if all our forms are in?Forms and Physicals are all required to be turned in by the first day of school, whether or not your student participates in sports. You will be contacted via email or phone prior to the start of school if you have any forms missing. In addition, Fall coaches will have a list of students who are not eligible to practice or tryout due to missing Physicals.
How can I volunteer?Jesuit athletics relies heavily on its' parent volunteers. Many opportunities to volunteer are listed on the school-wide Volunteer Opportunities form that is sent home in the summer. In addition, parents of individual teams/sports may be contacted to volunteer once rosters are set.
Where do I get sweatshirts, etc?The Jesuit Spirit Store, located in the lobby of the Smith Gym, is open to sell logo items of all kinds. The Spirit Store is open Monday-Friday (on JHS class days) from 2:00-3:30 p.m.as well as during special events and home athletic contests.

I don't know, but I'd like to see LDAP authentication here (and
elsewhere in m0n0wall). It would allow m0n0wall to easily integrate
with a Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory-based network. That would be
a huge advantage for m0n0wall. Especially for those installations based

An Easy Trick To Get J.Lo's High Donut Bun
Celebs are all about the super-high buns these days—January Jones was spotted with one, so were Rachel Bilson and Cameron Diaz. Now, J.Lo has joined the fray with this big donut-type bun. What do you think? Want to try it out? I'll let you in on a secret—it looks hard, but one little trick makes it oh-so-easy to do yourself, and you've got one laying around the house. The secret weapon, after the jump … Use a sock! Yeah, really. Basically, you make the donut-hole shape by using a sock as your template. First, find a thick, unmatched sock you don't care about any more and cut off the toe part. Now that the sock's open on both ends, roll the remaining portion into a circular tube. It should resemble a donut shape when you're through—the thicker your rolled sock, the thicker your bun, so if you don't want such a pronounced donut bun, un-roll your sock, snip off a bit and re-roll. OK. Now, gather your hair into a ponytail, securing it with an elastic and pull your pony through the center of the rolled sock. Spread your hair over the edges of the sock, around the donut shape, completely covering the sock and hold everything in place with another elastic. Got remaining hair? Need a little tweaking? Wind it around the base of the bun and tuck and bobby-pin it in place. Hairspray. Done!

Syrian activists: Truce reached in blockaded town
Government officials and rebels reached a deal to ease a weekslong blockade on a rebel-held town near the Syrian capital on Sunday, allowing food to reach civilians there for the first time in weeks, activists said.
The truce is the latest to be struck in recent months between President Bashar Assad's government and disparate rebel groups in the country's more than 2½-year-old conflict.
It was reached as the main Western-backed Syrian opposition group was holding the second of two days of meetings in Istanbul to decide whether to attend a proposed peace conference the United States and Russia are trying to convene in Geneva by the end of this year.
The Syrian National Coalition has demanded that Assad step down in any transitional government as a condition for participation in the talks. Syrian officials say Assad will stay in his post at least until his term ends in 2014 and that he may run for re-election.
Coalition spokesman Louay Safi said discussions were ongoing Sunday night.
"There are people who are concerned and worried that not enough preparation has taken place. And there are those who would like to make a decision but with some preparation," he told reporters in Istanbul.
According to a draft statement that the coalition officials say the group intends to vote on, the opposition in exile affirms its "readiness" to take part in a transitional government but one that has full powers, including executive powers.
A copy of the draft obtained by The Associated Press said the coalition will consult with "revolutionary forces inside Syria, as well as Arab and international allies, to explain the coalition's position and bolster unanimity over the coalition's decision."
The coalition is expected to approve a list of cabinet ministers presented by the interim prime minister, Ahmad Toumeh, who was elected in September.
The Western-backed group has called for goodwill measures from the Assad government, including lifting sieges on rebel-held areas.
It wasn't clear whether the deal in Qudsaya was such a gesture, as neither rebels nor Syrian officials comment on such deals.

Taylor Swift receives Best Female Video, Britney Spears grabs Best Pop Video and Green Day win Best Rock Video.
Those who manage to grab moonmen at this year's MTV Video Music Awards have been unveiled one by one as gala ceremony of the event was kicked off on September 13. Taylor Swift, Green Day and Beastie Boys are the early winners.
Taylor got Best Female Video, beating Lady GaGa, Beyonce Knowles, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Pink. The award was presented by Shakira and "Twilight" hunk Taylor Lautner.
When the country music singer was about to deliver her acceptance speech, Kanye West jacked her mic, telling the crowd that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. Taylor looked stunned as people clapped and showed their support for Beyonce, but the 19-year-old singer managed to stand on the stage for a few more seconds when the attendees finally gave standing ovation to her.
Prior to the announcement of Best Female Video, Beastie Boys were announced as the winner of Best Video (That Should Have Won a Moonman). As for Green Day, they were handed Best Rock Video. When collecting the prize, Billie Joe Armstrong called on MTV to play more videos.
Next on MTV VMAs was the announcement of Best Pop Video which was presented by Nelly Furtado and Kristin Cavallari. Britney Spears, who was not present at the awards due to her hectic schedule of hitting the road, scooped the award from her tour site.

These have way more off an interesting cut than you normally see at Old Navy. They might seem a little 80s mom's jeans ish, but I think they've got a lot of potential. Plus, they remind me of the loose jeans that were just on the Chanel runway.
everywhere i go there are hipsters wearing shorts like this paired with gladiator sandals.
These are fantastic vintage-inspired shorts. Very 1950s pin-up on vacation.Tags: shorts, fashion, retro, style, vintage, 1950s, creatures of comfort, pleated, high waistAdded 9 Years Ago from 206

Club Gascon Restaurant Review: Chef Pascal Aussignac created a small corner of France in Smithfield. Club Gascon came first in 1998, followed by Cellar Gascon (a glorious wine bar), the gourmet bistro and deli Le Comptoir Gascon, and another Le Comptoir Gascon in Westfield Shopping Centre. Club Gascon remains one of London's top venues, offering originality and outstanding cooking. It's a joy to find somewhere devoted to the rich, earthy regional delicacies for which Gascony is famous. The menu is not structured conventionally but is divided into main ingredients. Who could resist duck carpaccio with truffle and crispy artichoke; a smoked eel cassoulet with pearl barley and mullet roe shavings; or venison loin with sweet artichoke, violet and blueberries? Chips cooked in duck fat can be outrageously good. Another attraction is the delightful setting just off Smithfield meat market. With marble walls, a silver ceiling, simple furnishings and some huge and striking flower arrangements, it's a beguiling place. Wines are mostly resolutely regional and often unusually powerful reds. 3-course lunch £29, 'Le Marche' set 5-course meal £65 (£100 with wine pairings).

Hi, my name is Louise and I am the Lead Artist on LEGO City Undercover and I wanted to tell you a bit about how we made it.
It has taken about three years to make as the City is so enormous! There are over 20 different regions around the City as well as more than 40 different level areas such as this Chinese temple with a dragon that comes alive!
There is Bright Lights Plaza with its theatres and neon,
Festival Square with lots of fairground rides, a beach with a giant roller coaster and a farm yard with pigs you can shoot from cannons!
Here is a Karate Dojo where you get to fight against these guys,
And there is a Space Island with moon buggies on it!
My favourite is Fresco which is like a beautiful little Italian town and reminds me of being on holiday :-)
There were over 30 artists on the team who created LEGO City Undercover, which not only included the environment artists, but lots of other specialists too.
We had Character Artists creating all the crazy characters.
LEGO Vehicle Artists who made all of the hundreds of amazing vehicles
And Prop Artists creating all the zillions of brilliant props
Then we also have UI Graphic Artists who make all the on screen icons, maps and symbols to help you navigate around the game.
And VFX Artists who make the amazing visual effects, so that when something explodes or transforms etc it looks even more impressive!
Being an artist on a video game is really great fun! You get to create amazing things that don't exist in real life, so you can really let your imagination go wild. I'm sure you can imagine how entertaining it is creating all these crazy props, characters and vehicles and I feel very lucky to have a job where we can make fun things all day!
I hope you enjoy playing LEGO City Undercover as much as we enjoyed making it!

A SUPERMARKET'S community champion is calling for people to come forward with funding requests.
Julie Shepherd spearheads the community-focused project for Tesco, in Chineham Shopping Centre.
The project, which has been running for three years, has seen the store invite youngsters from Great Binfields Primary School, in Chineham, to parade a decorated lion to mark Chinese New Year, to organising in-store collections for Basingstoke Foodbank.
And now Julie is calling for more people to tell her about community events, and local causes, which could benefit from donations.
She said: "What I want from the general public is to hear of more ways in which we can support them. I have met, helped and built relationships with a lot of people in the last three years, which has been humbling, enjoyable and very rewarding.
"However, it feels like it is only the tip of the iceberg. I need people to contact me with their requests so that I can continue to help as many groups as possible within the community."
Since the scheme was launched, Tesco Chineham has made 552 donations, and put on 567 events. Community champion Julie has won high praise from a number of schools.
Belinda Evans, from Four Lanes Community Junior School, said: "We've been lucky enough to be working with Julie for three years.
"She has supported us at a variety of our events, from serving mulled wine and mince pies at our Christmas Shopping Night, to judging the colouring competition at our summer fete."
And Helen Wogan, admin officer at Great Binfields Primary School, added: "We couldn't do without her help, and now, through her, we take part in carol singing at the Chineham centre just before Christmas and our Chinese Dragon visits Tesco. Having a community champion is a really good idea, and Julie fulfils the role superbly."

What are Bouchard's Nodes?

Bouchard's nodes are bony enlargements of the middle joints of the fingers -- also known as the PIP joint or proximal interphalangeal joint. This is the joint that is the first one above where you would wear a ring, the one toughest to get a ring past when you slip it on or off.

Bouchard's nodes are a classic sign of hand osteoarthritis. Visible signs of osteoarthritis are an important aspect of diagnosis. Unlike other types of arthritis that may rely more on laboratory tests, there are characteristic signs of osteoarthritis. Bouchard's nodes are different from the rubbery bumps that may be seen on the thumbs and knuckles with rheumatoid arthritis.

Bouchard's Nodes (Photo from health-pictures.com)

Bouchard's nodes, like Heberden's nodes, may or may not be painful, but they are typically associated with limited motion of the affected joint. The nodes are strongly familial (i.e., inherited or genetic) and most researchers believe they are caused by osteophytes -- although some disagree. Bouchard's nodes are considered less common than Heberden's nodes.

What Causes Bouchard's Nodes?

The hand is the third most commonly affected joint in osteoarthritis, following the knee and hip. In osteoarthritis of the hand, the articular cartilage in the joints is worn away. Generally, this is thought to be wear-and-tear with aging, but it may follow and injury to the affected joint. The cartilage normally provides a cushion between the bones of the joint.

As the cartilage wears away in your finger joint, you may start to experience pain and stiffness. The cartilage is becoming rough and is no longer a smooth surface for the bones to slip past each other. Once it is worn away enough, the bones rub against each other, which is painful. As this continues, the existing bone may be destroyed. Your body attempts to repair bone loss but instead of making a smooth replacement, a bony node grows alongside the existing bone of the finger joint. This becomes a Bouchard's node.

The Significance of Bouchard's Nodes

It is the characteristic appearance of Bouchard's nodes and Heberden's nodes that are significantly helpful in diagnosing osteoarthritis. By the time you see the new bony Bouchard's node, significant damage has happened to the finger joint. The osteoarthritis has progressed and taken its toll on the joint.

Treatment of Bouchard's Nodes

The treatment for Bouchard's nodes is similar for hand osteoarthritis without nodes. This includes resting the joint, perhaps using a splint to keep from moving it too much. Pain relievers and heat or ice may address the symptoms. Because the affected joint will be stiff or lose range of motion, physical therapy may be needed. In severe cases, surgery can be done to replace or fuse the joint. While Bouchard's nodes may be unsightly, surgery isn't done for cosmetic purposes. The joint is already degraded by the time the node appears, and replacement or fusion is needed rather than removal of a bump.

Bouchard's nodes were named after a famous French pathologist, Charles-Joseph Bouchard, who studied arthritis patients in the 19th century.

Single-occupancy room and board rates will be $7,151 and $6,118 for the Towers.
Rates for the new residence hall, The Village, were set at $4,463.
The increase will enable housing and dining services to meet debt payment obligations; fund the 2002-03 maintenance and renovation plan; maintain the current level of service and provide enhanced dining services options. This is the first time in the past 12 years that EMUs rate increase has been above the state average for public institutions.
The average room and board rate increase among state institutions is 5.5 percent,
with increases ranging from 3.5 percent to 9 percent.
Eastern Michigan currently has 15 residence halls and 650 apartments. More than 4,300 students will live in university residence halls and apartments for the 2002-2003 academic year.

A long-running dispute with three unions and the grounding of the airline last month have cost
In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange yesterday, the company said first-half earnings could plummet to as little as one-third of the previous year's result, with the two-day grounding alone costing $70 million.
The weaker profit outlook drew criticism from union leaders, who said the grounding and planned lock-out had been "reckless and disproportionate" to industrial action taken.
The extent of the hit to Qantas's first-half earnings came after The Australian Financial Review revealed senior management now favoured the lower-risk option of a strategic tie-up with Malaysia Airlines rather than pursuing a costly plan to establish a premium subsidiary airline in Singapore.
As part of the discussions with Malaysia Airlines and its 20 per cent shareholder, AirAsia, Qantas is focusing on an alliance that would solve its network issues in the region, and discussing plans for a new airline joint venture that would not require investment in aircraft in the short term, according to sources.
With the two airlines working towards a letter of intent in coming weeks, it is understood one option being discussed is the use of new wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft entering the Malaysian fleet from next year to establish a separate airline venture under a new brand.
Should talks in KL collapse, Qantas management would be unlikely to revisit a plan to invest up to $500 million over two years in a new Singapore-based airline until the global economic climate improved, one source close to the talks said.
"This isn't in the bag yet, and it could still range from a code share to a full new venture, but everyone involved is on the same page and wanting it to happen," the source said.
Malaysia Airlines, which is 20 per cent owned by Tony Fernandes's AirAsia, has been under pressure to restructure loss-making operations, and is understood to be prepared to divert new aircraft into a joint venture in return for Qantas funnelling its passengers on to the new airline and bringing its management and corporate sales expertise to the project.
The new airline would fly between KL and Australian ports as well as to a limited number of key corporate destinations within Asia. Sitting alongside that new venture, Qantas would also funnel passengers on to Malaysia Airlines' existing network in Asia and on to Europe where the Australian carrier flies only to London and Frankfurt.
Parallel to Qantas's discussions with Malaysia Airlines, it had pursued talks with International Airlines Group (the owner of British Airways and Spain's Iberia) over the establishment of a new premium airline in Asia. Those talks, which had focused on Singapore, have been put on ice while Qantas progresses negotiations in KL, it is understood.
Importantly for Qantas and BA – also a member of the oneworld alliance along with Malaysia Airlines – the government and airport at KL have been in talks and are keen to import foreign airline expertise and associated passenger uplift.
While British Airways and parent IAG have been kept abreast of the focus of talks between the Australian airline and Malaysia Airlines, there have been no three-way talks between all parties about the business plan for the new venture in KL.
The three have, however, been discussing plans for a joint code sharing alliance as oneworld partners – regarded as the fallback position for Qantas should its talks with Malaysia Airlines fall over.
Qantas said yesterday it expected to report underlying profit before tax in the first half of between $140 million and $190 million, down from $417 million in the first half of the 2011 financial year.
In addition to the $70 million cost of the grounding, lost revenue from weaker forward bookings and subsequent initiatives to win back customer loyalty will cost the company $56 million this half. Industrial action taken before the grounding had cost a further $68 million, it said.
Qantas chief executive
"Since the termination of industrial action by Fair Work Australia we have seen customers return to Qantas."
The extent of the damage caused by industrial action at the airline was revealed in traffic statistics for October, when domestic passenger numbers fell 11.3 per cent and international passengers by 3.6 per cent. The airline has said it was an escalation of that trend, and a surge in passenger intention not to travel with Qantas, that forced it into the drastic action.
Mr Joyce said domestic bookings had recovered well, while international bookings up to January had improved but at a slower rate given the longer lead times involved. Bookings for international travel in the second half were in line with normal trends, the company said.
Qantas's profit guidance for the first half of the year included a forecast that group yield, a measure of the value of ticket sales, would rise by between 3 per cent and 5 per cent, with capacity to increase by between 4 per cent and 6 per cent.
Higher jet fuel prices and capacity growth were expected to lift underlying fuel costs by about $450 million to $2.2 billion, the company said,
Analysts said the combination of certainty on the financial hit to the airline from industrial action and the prospect of a less capital-intensive strategy in Asia helped boost Qantas shares yesterday. The stock closed 3.5 per cent higher at $1.50 after earlier rising by as much as 5.8 per cent.
"The total hit was a little worse than expected, but some investors might've been thinking it could have been a whole lot worse than it was," said one analyst. "There have also been comments around a JV on Asian expansion rather than going it alone – a less capital intensive plan would relieve some of the pressure in the short term even though this is ultimately a long-dated exercise."
Union leaders claimed victory as Qantas scrapped plans for a new airline in Asia yesterday, even though the Financial Review reported the company was still committed to the plan, with AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes a willing investor once they had a more certain read on the global economy.
The choice to focus talks on an alliance or airline venture that would require little start-up investment by Qantas is tied to a broader push to retain flexibility in cutting back capital expenditure wherever possible should the global economy worsen.
Facing a situation where it may have had to choose between investing in a new Asian airline or taking money from other business units, such as the profitable QantasLink or a fledgling fly-in, fly-out unit, the much-touted project in Asia has fallen down Qantas management's priority list unless it can be achieved with minimal capital investment.
The Kuala Lumpur solution has only come about since a share swap between the flag carrier and AirAsia gave Mr Fernandes a firm say in the strategic direction and partnership opportunities for the airline.
The most recent talks between Qantas and Malaysia Airlines have centred on a joint network, finalising a new product and a degree of integration between the two carriers' existing fleets, and how the joint venture airline would be managed.
