In Sweden it is the politicly correct ones who say that all swedish citicens are swedes. The nationalists are the ones who say that a person who is an immigrant with swedish citicenship is not a swede.
That makes Sweden is exactly like every other country in this respect. If you were trying to provide a counterexample, you've failed. If you weren't...I'm not sure why you posted.

Don't get me wrong , I didn't want to make fun of you or anything. Learning the linux basics is something really required in order to be able to use BT and understand further stuff.

UTP Interviews Jason Navarro of Break Anchor
Oh hey, this was exciting. Pretty recently Mr. Brandon asked me if I wanted a promo of the new Break Anchor 7". I of course wanted it because it exists. He also asked if I wanted to do an e-mail interview with Jay Navarro of Break Anchor and formerly over The Suicide Machines and currently of Hellmouth. Its quick, dirty, and I only get embarassed once. If I should be embarassed more than once just don't tell me.

Wake-Up Call
Though I always stay in West Hollywood, it's worth the drive to Silver Lake Juice for a sunrise sip: fresh-pressed beets, apples, and carrots with extra ginger. (Intelligentsia down the street has great coffee too.)
Show Up In: Artsy Officewear. Forget the NYC black suit. I've had countless meetings in L.A. with attendees in shorts, T-shirts, even flip-flops. Pull together a look that's cool enough to get you noticed, like denim shorts matched with a DVF leather jacket.

Movie Night
Only in L.A. is going to the movies elevated to an experience. My friends drive clear across town to catch a flick at the ArcLight (reserved seating is a must). It's the one place where you'll run into every network exec, young starlet—including Mary Elizabeth—and important casting agent, so sweats are a no-no.
Show Up In: Effortless Boho Cool. Mix something offbeat, like this snakeskin-printed Chloé dress, with unexpected accessories—in this case, Bess studded moto-boots and a flower-child hat. You tried, but not too hard!

Just two days after the names of 19 fallen firefighters were released to the public in the wake of the still-burning Yarnell Fire in Central Ariz., community members from all over the Valley are stepping in to help families of the victims and Scottsdale chef Michael O'Dowd and business partner Ed Leclere are no exception.
This Friday and Saturday, Renegade by MOD restaurant in Scottsdale will hold fundraising events for the Yarnell Hill Fire relief effort. On both days, Renegade by MOD will donate five percent of the entire day's sales to a fund set up through the 100 Club of Arizona, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing funds and other services to families and victims of public safety officers.
Additionally, the restaurant will host a "Fill The Boot" party on both evenings inside the MOD bar, which will feature live entertainment from The New Brothers Band on Friday and Jared Blackstone on Saturday. Leclere and O'Dowd will ask that a minimum five dollar donation be placed inside the giant firefighter boots on display before entering the fundraising event in the lounge. Additional boots will be placed on the bar for guests who wish to give a little extra throughout the evening. One hundred percent of all donations will go to the 100 Club fund, providing relief to the families of the fallen firemen.
An avid supporter of the work that firefighters do all across the state, this isn't the first time Leclere has held a "Fill The Boot" campaign.
"In March, we held a St. Patty's Day party to raise funds for the families of fallen firefighters from Chandler, Mesa and Surprise and netted $1,100 in donations in one night. We're hoping to crush that number this weekend – there are 19 families who need our support up north," said Leclere.
Both Harley enthusiasts and riders, Leclere and O'Dowd have spent countless hours cruising through Central and Northern Arizona and are stunned by the fire's destruction.
"Ed and I have spent many days driving up Highway 89 and winding through some of the most amazing scenery and charming towns we've ever seen," said O'Dowd. "We are not only saddened at the unexpected loss of homes and businesses in Yarnell Hill, but at the astonishing loss of life caused by the fire. We proudly honor the fallen 19 firefighters of the Granite Mountain Hotshots and through the help of the 100 Club, intend to send aid to the families who mourn their loss."
Patrons wishing to support the relief effort at Renegade by MOD can visit the restaurant from 2 to 11 p.m. Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6. Live entertainment will kick off the "Fill The Boot" party both evenings at 7 p.m. inside the MOD Bar. Renegade by MOD is located at 9343 E Shea Boulevard in Scottsdale. For more information, guests may call Renegade by MOD at (480) 614-9400.

Kellan Lutz, Katie Cassidy, Jessica Szohr & More at the DKNY Sunglass Soiree
There were plenty of famous faces on hand last night to try on the latest DKNY sunglasses.
-Faye Brennan
On Tuesday night, the pool at Dream Downtown in New York City was the place to be. Besides the models splashing in the pool, there were a handful of celebrities that came out to rock their new shades as a part of DKNY's Sunglass Soiree.
Katie Cassidy (who had a guest spot on Gossip Girl and was in A Nightmare on Elm Street) had fun modeling the DKNY Mod Runway Rectangle Frame ($89, dkny.com). She was later joined by Jessica Szohr, a fellow Gossip Girl cutie, who rocked the look of the moment: the fishtail braid.
Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz sipped on coconut water and enjoyed the crowd after just returning from Comic Con (don't worry, he says he got some shut eye on the plane).
Husband and wife duo, Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa, picked out their favorite shades, too. The Jonas Bro was rockin' the DKNY Metal Frame Square Aviator With Browbar ($89, dkny.com), while Danielle preferred the same style as Katie.
Also in attendance to glam up the evening was Olivia Palermo, who looked great in a color block dress and pink feather sandals. She made it out safe just before the rain came!
Nothing like a little shower to cool off the hottest pool party in town.
Faye Brennan is senior editor at BettyConfidential.

A colorful cast of residents and visitors to Miami go about their daily activities, both legal and illegal. The police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay with officer Nestor Camacho on board. Into the feverous landscape of the only city in the world where people from a different country with a different language and a different culture have taken over at the ballot box. This melting pot is full of hard cases who just won't melt, damn it. He introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor of the Miami Herald, both WASPs who went to Yale; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his lovely Latina nurse Magdalena by day, loin lock by night (until lately), and his star patient, a porn-addicted billionaire; a status-addled Haitian professor who thinks he's really French and wants his pale-skinned daughter, Ghislaine, to "pass" for white (she is the love of Nestor's life); and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; as well as crack dealers in the 'hoods. Then there are the clueless collectors who "See it! Like it! Buy it!", spending tens of millions per minute on de-skilled art at the Miami Art Basel Fair; black drug dealers colliding with Cuban cops; "spectators" at the annual Columbus Day Biscayne Bay Regatta looking only for that night's annual après-race orgy; yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians.

(CNN) -- Lots of people may be cursing the early arrival of winter this year, but the blast of snow is translating into a blast for skiers and snowboarders.
"White gold" -- as snow is sometimes called in regions where winter sports are a lucrative part of the economy -- has been abundant at many resorts, especially in the West.
"It was one of the strongest Novembers in history in Colorado," said Eric Peterson, the winter sports writer for Frommers.com and author of guides to that state and others with great skiing areas, including Utah, Montana and Wyoming.
"Everybody is just having a fantastic time."
Peterson, who lives in Denver and is an avid skier himself, has been taking maximum advantage of the early season.
He recommended the following five skiing and snowboarding destinations that will delight winter sports enthusiasts of all tastes and skill levels.
Located a few miles from Aspen in the Roaring Fork Valley, Snowmass offers a dizzying variety of mountain activities.
"Snowmass is just terrific. It's enormous, 3,000 acres with a more than 4,000-foot vertical drop; that's the highest in the U.S." Peterson said.
But beginners shouldn't be scared off by those stats. Snowmass has plenty of mellow slopes near the bottom for novice skiers, he added.
"You see tons of groups of 5-year-olds with their instructors and adults. Snowmass has great beginner terrain and great expert terrain," Peterson said. "You can spend days exploring this place."
Snowboarders can show off their skills on a new 12-foot halfpipe that's good for beginners, while the 22-foot superpipe is beloved by the extreme crowd, Peterson said.
If the 91 trails and 21 chairlifts at Snowmass aren't enough, you can take a free shuttle to neighboring Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk.
Snowmass Village offers a variety of accommodations, including lots of ski in/ski out condos. For a luxurious touch, stay at the Viceroy, which opened last year, or the Silvertree Hotel, Peterson said.
In addition to being a snowboarder favorite, Copper Mountain offers skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides and more.
This season, enthusiasts can buy a Snow Day Pass for $99, which is valid for any day the resort gets 4 inches or more of snow. (You also get guaranteed access on two days in 2011: Super Bowl Sunday and tax day.)
But the mountain, 75 miles from Denver, is busy even when it's not snowing. Adventurers flock to the area year-round to attend the resort's unique training facility: Woodward at Copper.
"It's for kids to learn how to do the extreme tricks," Peterson said.
Foam pits allow snowboarders and skiers to practice flips and tricks in a safe environment before trying them out on the slopes.
Stay at the resort or in nearby Frisco, a town that's convenient to other great ski areas. Breckenridge and Keystone are all within a 20-minute drive, Peterson said. Hotel Frisco, whose origins date to the 1880s, is worth checking out, he added.
3. Northstar at Tahoe Resort, California
Located six miles north of Lake Tahoe, the resort offers 92 ski trails spread across 3,000 acres.
"Northstar is not as high-profile as some of the other Tahoe resorts, but it's definitely got a bright future," Peterson said. "It's a great place to ski right now."
Especially this week, when the summit received an impressive 24 inches of fresh powder -- and even more snow is on the way. The area also offers snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tubing.
After a day on the slopes, you can relax at the resort's lodges, family-friendly condominiums or cozy mountain homes, or go for total luxury at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.
4. Alta, Utah
One of the oldest ski areas in the United States, Alta is also one of the few that does not allow snowboarding.
"They'll also shut it down once a certain number of skiers come on a busy day," Peterson said. "They want to keep it a very good experience so it's not a crowded spot."
Alta is part of the Ski Utah Interconnect Adventure Tour, a treat for advanced and expert skiers. For $295 per person, adventurers can follow guides through the Wasatch Mountain backcountry via routes in and out of up to six ski resorts.
"So you're going over the tops of these mountains," Peterson said. "It's very easy to get from one to another if you know what you're doing and are in good shape. ... I don't know of any other place in the country where you can hit six resorts in one day without getting into your car."
Most people think of America's first national park as a summer destination, but it's also unforgettable in the winter, blanketed by snow and blissfully quiet.
"I am a huge fan of Yellowstone, and going there in the winter is a really special experience," Peterson said.
"It's just pure solitude. It's a great place to cross-country ski and snowshoe."
Visitors can take cross-country skiing lessons or go on guided trips through the park.
Stay at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, which opens December 18.
If you want to take a rest from winter sports, take a snowcoach tour that puts you close to the wildlife of Yellowstone.
"The bears are asleep, but everything else -- the wolves, the bison, the moose -- they're all wide awake. So there's a lot to see, and it just puts this brilliant, new face on the park," Peterson said.

Let's follow the thinking of the Mets for a moment.
Heading into 2013, the budget isn't changing. The team is 73-87. They are 11th in the NL in runs scored, 11th in ERA. So clearly, they aren't playing at a level close to what anybody could consider successful. They are going to win fewer games in 2012 than 2011, which in turn was fewer wins than in 2010.
And now we get word that the coaching staff is to remain intact for 2013, too.
Now, in a world where we didn't understand the Mets are under severe financial hardship, this would be an incomprehensible decision.
But really, what the Mets are saying by endorsing the return of all the coaches is: we don't think anyone else could have gotten more out of this group of players. For what it's worth, I agree, or at least, I don't believe the difference between this coaching staff and another would have been enough to push the Mets into contention.
Combine that with a lack of additional resources for the 2013 season, meaning no influx of free agents, not even additional salary added via trade, and the talent level is likely to remain the same next year as the team that is, remember, 73-87.
Either they believe the talent on hand is ready to make a giant leap forward. Or they're giving up on 2013 before it begins.
And you have ownership's lack of resources to thank.

By Andrew Thell
The Orioles give Koji Uehara to the Rangers for Chris Davis and Tommy Hunter; The Padres give up Mike Adams to the Rangers for Joe Wieland and Robbie Erlin.
Let's just get this out of the way first: this really sucks for everybody who owns shares in Mike Adams this season and beyond. I feel for you, I've been holding onto Adams in my keeper league for months assuming he would be the closer today. Not only does he get traded instead of Heath Bell and get shafted for the closer's job in San Diego, Adams also goes from a pitcher's paradise and a manager who ran a crisp bullpen to a hitter's haven and a manager who struggles to keep his sock drawer in order. It makes no sense to me from the Friars' perspective either: Adams is better than Bell, he's younger than Bell and he's under team control for a year longer than Bell. Boo-urns.
Let's also say this: kudos to the Texas Rangers for landing two absolutely dominant and underrated relievers. This is how you shore up a bullpen at the trade deadline. On a per-inning basis, Uehara and Adams are now the Rangers best two pitchers. Hell, they might be the best one-two punch this side of Johnny Venters and Craig Kimbrel. Paired with 2010 AL ROY Neftali Feliz they should allow Texas to go into absolute lockdown mode after the 6th inning. That's a scary thought paired with this team's elite offense and decent starting pitching.
If I was gambling on either Adams or Uehara against Neftali I'd take either of the former to be closing out games by the end of the month. I don't know what's up with him, but with a 4.66 BB/9, 6.28 K/9 (only 6 Ks versus righties all year!) and 4.73 xFIP on the season Neftali is not closer material right now. The problem is, Texas got Adams and Uehara, and I have no idea which one will take over for Feliz if he continues to falter as I expect. In his second season in the MLB Koji Uehara has has posted an otherworldly set of numbers: 1.69 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 12.00 K/9, 1.50 BB/9. Damn. Still, he's been a bit lucky with a .192 BABIP and 97.6% LOB this year and his track record isn't lengthy with just 99 career appearances. In 271 appearances Mike Adams boasts a 2.11 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 9.29 K/9 – and over the last three years he's been even better. With both under Rangers' control for 2012, it's that experience gap in favor of Adams and and old-school manager in Ron Washington that leads me to think Adams should have the inside track for the job if/when Felix falters.
There's also one interesting piece on the Baltimore side of the equation. Chris Davis has made a name for himself as a prototypical quad-A player, and I don't have anything to dispel that notion baseball fan, but he makes headlines once again. As per his usual, Davis has crushed minor league pitching this season to the tune of 24 HRs with a .405 OBP and .824 SLG (!). We've seen this picture before, though. Stellar in the minors, strikeout machine in the majors. Maybe the change of scenery helps, maybe it doesn't. He's not moving into a better lineup or park, and Texas doesn't exactly discourage offense. A speculative play on Davis isn't crazy given his prodigious power and gaudy minor-league totals and the fact that he should get all the playing time he can handle, I made the move in one deep league, but there's no reason to have much faith in a career turnaround at this point.

Creative Alliance of New Orleans Annual Gala- BAL DES ARTISTES
Features a Masked Ball, Fashion Show of Gowns and Costumes and Live Entertainment!
December 10, 2012, New Orleans: BAL DES ARTISTES, the annual benefit to support the Creative Alliance of New Orleans will be held on Thursday, January 3rd, 2013 at the Old Casino Building in City Park. The event will begin with music, a silent auction, and a boutique where guests can purchase masks and other carnival favors, jewelry, accessories and crafts. At 8pm the "ALL GOWNED UP" fashion show will begin, featuring local fashion designers, vintage gowns donated by Carnival Queens and other New Orleans residents, and some really fantastic artist-made gowns that stretch the imagination. Local designers and artists include Tabitha Bethune, Elsa Brodman, Carolina Gallop, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Elizabeth Eckman, Elizabeth Shannon, Raine Bedsole, Tracy Thompson, Bob Tannen and Sally Heller. Jewelry design by Waregarden Studio. Hair by Bouffant Beauty & Barber.
The second part of the evening will be a Bal Masque that evokes the original bohemian carnival balls presented by a group of artists who came together in the French Quarter in the 1920's. Led by no less than William Faulkner, Sherwood Anderson, William Spratling and many others, the scene then was not unlike the exploding art scene of New Orleans that we are experiencing today. In short, this will be a Carnival ball as it should be--- creative, fun, and cutting-edge. An amazing lineup of bands include the Honorable South, Lagniappe Brass Band, Debauche Russian Mafia Band, The Courtyard Kings, DJ Black Pearl, Tabitha Pearl and her band and other special guests.
This event will be held at the old Casino building in City Park that now is home to Morning Call.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2013 (1619 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Only an incurable optimist would look back on the debacle that was the 2012 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season and say, "Yeah, but how about that second overall draft pick they picked up?"
It was cold comfort for Bombers fans last November when their club's season ended prematurely -- out of the playoffs, for the third time in four years -- that Winnipeg's 6-12 regular-season record came with the small silver lining of the second overall pick in May's 2013 CFL entry draft.
Indeed, at the time it seemed the motley crew that was the 2012 Bombers couldn't even lose right. With a win at home over Montreal on the final weekend of the regular season, the Bombers did just enough to ensure that it would be the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, not the Bombers, who would draft first overall in 2013.
Both teams finished out of the playoffs and tied with 6-12 records, but Hamilton was awarded last place -- and first pick overall this year -- because they lost the season series with Winnipeg.
But flash forward four months and suddenly that second overall pick is no longer looking like a small consolation prize.
As the top Canadian football prospects take part in a series of combines this week -- they were in a regional combine in Edmonton on Monday and head to Toronto this weekend for the league's main combine -- the full value of what Winnipeg won by losing last year is starting to emerge.
And the picture that is starting to come into focus from what's being characterized as an exceptionally deep draft class is of a tall, well-built, starting non-import defensive lineman wearing a Blue Bombers jersey for years to come.
According to the CFL Scouting Bureau, seven of this year's Top 15 Canadian prospects are beefy defensive linemen, including four of the top 6 -- Calgary's Linden Gaydosh (3); Regina's Stefan Charles (4); McMaster's Ben D'Aguilar (5); and Eastern Michigan's Andy Mulumba (6).
Of those four, two -- Gaydosh and Charles -- are thought to be CFL-ready-and-willing and to have the potential to quickly morph into the kind of dominating Canadian presence on the defensive line that can be a game-changer for CFL teams.
And Bombers fans, perhaps better than anyone, know what kind of difference a stud non-import defensive lineman can make for a club after having watched one of the all-time best examples of just such a breed -- tackle Doug Brown -- prowl the line of scrimmage in Winnipeg for 11 seasons.
Indeed, while there were a myriad of reasons why Winnipeg so badly underachieved in 2012, one of the biggest was the hole the retirement of Brown after the 2011 season created not only in the middle of the line, but also in the all-important non-import/import ratio.
The Bombers knew the absence of Brown was going to be a problem last season and to his credit, GM Joe Mack traded up in last year's draft in a bid to land Jabar Westerman. Alas, the B.C. Lions took Westerman one pick ahead of the Bombers and now have a player some think could do for the Lions for years to come exactly what Brown did for the Bombers -- be a ratio-changer.
But the good news is it appears the Bombers will get a second chance to try and replace Brown this year -- and this time it seems unlikely they will be denied their pick. With only the Ticats selecting ahead of them it is a certainty that either Gaydosh or Charles (not to mention D'Aguilar and Mulumba) will still be available when Winnipeg goes to pick.
And it's also a distinct possibility Winnipeg will get their pick of all of the top defensive line prospects. While no one is tipping their hand just yet, the conventional wisdom is the Ticats are leaning towards McMaster offensive tackle Matt Sewell -- and his size 17 feet -- with the first overall pick.
Sewell is ranked second right now by the CFL Scouting Bureau, behind top-ranked Oregon junior linebacker Bo Lokombo, who is widely expected to draw serious NFL interest after his upcoming senior year and is unlikely to sign in the CFL, at least in the short term.
The fact Sewell played his university ball in Hamilton at McMaster, grew up in nearby Milton, Ont. and at 6-7, 330 might be the biggest human being in this year's draft class would seem to make him a no-brainer for the Ticats.
Of course, if the Ticats were to pass on Sewell -- the wrinkle is Sewell's so dominating, he might attract some NFL interest -- and go another way with their first pick, the Bombers would have a tough decision with the second overall pick.
"Defensive linemen are tough to come by," Mack told the Free Press last week, "and we think there are some really good ones in this draft. We'll look at everybody and take the best player available, but obviously we will be focusing on the defensive line."
Walters' Top 5 CFL draft prospects
Winnipeg Blue Bombers assistant general manager Kyle Walters was in Edmonton on Monday, watching prospects take part in a regional combine that is the prelude to the main CFL combine that begins this Friday in Toronto.
The combines are the last chance for CFL coaches and scouts to interview, test and evaluate the league's top prospects prior to this year's entry draft on May 6.
Walters was asked to handicap the Top 5 prospects in this year's CFL draft, according to the league's December scouting bureau report:
1. Bo Lokombo LB Oregon: "He's a junior, he starts for Oregon and he's already on some NFL watch lists...He's a very good football player, but say we draft him? He's going to back to Oregon for his senior year, 100 per cent. And then is he going to be in the NFL after that?"
2. Matt Sewell OT McMaster: "He's at least as good as (previous offensive lineman drafted by CFL teams who signed in the NFL instead). If Matt Sewell gets drafted, you have to think he's going to explore all NFL opportunities... I guarantee Hamilton will be thinking that if they call Matt Sewell, will he be in training camp or will he try to get into the NFL?"
3. Linden Gaydosh DT Calgary: "Big, powerful, strong man. High motor. Him and Stefan Charles are the two CIS defensive tackles that are comparable. They play in the same conference, they're both big strong kids, they're both very good football players."
4. Stefan Charles DT Regina: "I think Charles is a little more athletic, while Gaydosh has a better motor. Gaydosh is your straight-ahead, high energy guy, versus maybe your better athlete (in Charles), who shows some unbelievable things all the time, but is not as consistent."
5. Ben D'Aguilar DE McMaster: "Phenomenal athlete. He's going to be very impressive at the combine with how big he is, how fast he is and how well he runs. He's a very, very good looking athlete physically."
A dark horse? University of Manitoba Bisons receiver Xavier Johnson wasn't particularly highly-touted coming into this week, but he ran a 4.75 40-yard dash in Edmonton on Monday that was tied for fastest of the day and definitely caught the attention of scouts.
"He's kind of an underneath the radar guy," said Walters, "and he came in and ran a very, very good 40...After seeing this, we will certainly go back and watch (film on Johnson) again."

Lochte wins two golds in Istanbul
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 2:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 2:54 p.m.
ISTANBUL — Olympic star Ryan Lochte won two gold medals Wednesday as the United States dominated the first day of the short-course world championships.
The former Florida standout posted a time of 1 minute, 41.92 seconds in the 200-meter freestyle event at the Sinan Erdem Dome. Paul Biedermann of Germany, the world record holder, finished second in 1:42.07, while Conor Dwyer, also a UF alum, was third in 1:43.78.
Lochte earned another gold in the 4x100 freestyle relay with teammates Anthony Ervin, James Feigen and Matt Grevers, finishing in 3:06.40. The Italians, who were fastest in the heats, won silver in 3:07.07, followed by Australia in 3:07.27.
Lochte won six gold medals and one silver when Dubai hosted the short-course championships in 2010. He won five medals at the London Olympics, including two golds.
In women's competition, the U.S. team of Megan Romano, Chelsea Chenault, Shannon Vreeland and Allison Schmitt won the 4x200 freestyle relay in 7:39.25. Russia was second in 7:42.77. China, the defending champion, was third in 7:43.26.
Katinka Hosszu of Hungary won the 200 butterfly in 2:02.20, setting a championships record. Less than 15 minutes after receiving her medal, she was back in the pool for the 400 individual medley and won bronze in 4:25.95. Winner Hannah Miley of Britain set a championship record of 4:23.14 and Shiwen Ye of China won silver in 4:23.33.
Current Gator Hilda Luthersdottir is competing for Iceland and participated in the women's 50m breaststroke on the first day. She finished 17th in the prelims with a time of 31.17, one spot out of making the semifinals.
The biennial championships end Sunday. Julio Maglione, president of swimming's governing body FINA, said the Istanbul championships have the largest number of countries (162) and athletes (958).

Behance Portfolio Reviews
"Organised by members for members" is the tag line for the Behance Portfolio Reviews that have been happening around the world between 4th and 11th November. The Behance portfolio site has been offering support to those organising local portfolio reviews where creatives can gather and have their portfolios critiqued by a panel of experts.
I attended the first portfolio review in Scotland, organised by David Mahoney, student at The University of Edinburgh, and took part as a member of the judging panel. During the evening 4 people presented their portfolios to the audience and received feeback from the panel consisting of photographer Tibor Galamb, talent agency consultant Sandy Tedford and myself.
Afterwards there was an opportunity to network and I took the chance to chat with as many of the attendees as I could and to promote the forthcoming Adobe Generation courses. Each presenter was awarded a Behance medal and two lucky winners, Katy Simpson and Todor Russanov, won subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud.
The event was a great success and everyone I spoke with said that they had enjoyed the evening and would be going away having learned something from the experience. Well done to David for organising the event, and I sincerely hope we can participate in future events like this in Scotland.

As clients demand further cost certainty from their attorneys, it
appears that offers of alternative fee arrangements (generally, as
non-billable hour models) are beginning to affect law firm choice. Certainly, there are a number
of alternative fee arrangements that lawyers may utilize, or
derive; the flat fee option, and its derivatives, are some
of them. In fact, some practitioners, like estate planners, have
been using flat fee arrangements for quite some time.
However, even those who use flat fees may be unaware of the
options available for how to account for them. In Massachusetts,
flat fees may be deposited into your operating or your
IOLTA account. (Don't believe me? Read this: "Flat fees occupy a middle ground
and can either be deposited to a trust account and withdrawn as
earned or deposited to a personal or operating account subject to
refund where required.") Functionally, it doesn't matter which
option you choose; practically, it's a matter of preference.
The unearned portion of flat fees must be returned, like
retainers (non-refundable retainers are not allowed in
Massachusetts). So placing the flat fee into the IOLTA account
means that, while you will have to do some more work tracking the
money when you reconcile the account, you're virtually assured of
having the money available to you (so long as you manage your trust
accounts correctly) to refund should you need to, such as when
representation is terminated by either side before the fee is
While deposit of the flat fee into the operating account carries
with it less burdensome administrative requirements, you are more
likely to spend that money to support your firm, rather than
holding it back for a potential refund, so you risk not having the
unused portion of the flat fee to refund, should the need arise.
The question is likely further informed by the maturity of the law
firm. If you're operating on a shoestring budget as a new
practitioner, you'll likely want to deposit your flat fee into your
trust account to be sure you have the money to give back, if you
need to give it back. But, if you're running a practice with
significant billings, you may feel more confident that you will
have money in your operating account to refund, should you need to
make a refund.
The coming revision to the new ethics rules,
which I wrote about in this space previously, may include a
definition for flat fees and specific direction as to the treatment
of those, per proposed new Comment 2A to Rule 1.15.

UF's Purifoy will stay in dual role
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 12:48 p.m.
Florida cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, who spent the first seven spring practices exclusively at wide receiver, is going to be a full-time defensive player for the first 12 practices in fall camp in August.
UF coach Will Muschamp revealed the plan for Purifoy on Wednesday's SEC coaches' spring teleconference.
Muschamp said he wants to give the Gators' young wide receivers a chance to develop early in camp, and that would be hard to do if Purifoy is getting reps at wideout.
"I want to see these young wideouts develop, see where they are through the first 12 practices," Muschamp said. "You're not going to find that out if you play (Purifoy) on offense."
Muschamp, however, did say the coaches still plan to have a package of offensive plays for Purifoy this season.
"He's going to play (wide receiver). The decision on how much will be based on those first 12 to 14 practices," Muschamp said. "It will depend on how we develop at the position (of wide receiver)."
Muschamp said he is currently going through one-on-one interviews with players. He said no players plan to leave or transfer yet, but he is still meeting with players.
"No one up until this time," Muschamp said. "We're still working through the situation with (offensive guard) Jessamen Dunker. We may know something on that maybe in the next couple days."
Dunker is facing a charge of grand theft of a motor vehicle after he was arrested for driving a stolen scooter on campus in January.
Huntley Johnson, Dunker's attorney, said Wednesday that Dunker's case is still under investigation by the State Attorney's Office and he did not expect a resolution this week.
"It's not going to be resolved on my end in a day or two," Johnson said. "Maybe a week or two."

Re: Remembering JeffG
Hya all and hopefully Jeffs family I still lurk on here every week sometimes more. I came on hear and Jeff gave me so much of himself. I will never forget him or this site.
Since losing Alan my beloved lovely son in 58 days to cholangio, I have also lost my husband of 52 years.
My husband and I had been told just a month prior to Alans diagnosis that he had only one year to 18 months as he had kidney failure. He managed to hang on for an extra year. (diabetes 56yrs).
I now realise I did not have time to grieve for Alan at the time due to my husbands illness. However, after 5 long years,lots of heartache, illness and stress I realise life is getting easier. My tears still flow but I accept them as part of my love for Alan and my hubbie. Alans friends and our family planted a lovely cherry tree and provided a bench for people to sit on at our local cricket ground. My only wish for all of us is that as time goes by we will all gain peace and love in our hearts. Love and Light to you all Alan's mom

February in Arizona means two things – gorgeous weather and spring training baseball.
What initially began as minor league exhibition game in the early 1900's has evolved into Major League Baseball's conglomerate of Spring Training stadiums within the Phoenix area. A long-standing tradition for the Grand Canyon State, MLB's Spring Training begins again later this month as the Cactus League kicks off its 65th season in Arizona.
As spring reveals itself, so do players from a four‐month baseball hiatus. More than 15 teams will compete within the coming months in 10 local fields — drawing over 1.5 million spectators, according to a 2009 study of the games.
2011 has the same expectation of past years and brings out potential collegiate and minor league players the opportunity to showcase their skills, in hopes of generating talk around Major League management for upward promotion to the "big leagues."
RBI's, home runs, batting average, chin music and injury reports reenter the vocabulary of sports talk radio hosts and give vitality back to baseball geeks nation.
With several stadium locations throughout the Phoenix area, it's easy to catch at least one of these 15 teams at a fraction of regular season ticket prices. With lawn seating available from $5, it's a perfect excuse to call in sick from work and plan a family picnic in Arizona's weather.
Diamondback News
Coming off a dismal 65 – 97 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks enter 2011 with hopes to compete with NL West rivals, 2010 World Champions San Francisco Giants.
Recent management addition and legendary Los Angeles Dodger Kirk Gibson has full control of the team this year and brings a sense of urgency to the Diamondbacks office.
Flashback to 1988; the Dodgers won their fifth title in the City of Angels and have yet to repeat since as the Dodgers later went on to defeat the Oakland Athletics 4-1 in the series. Gibson and the 1988 Dodger team were underdogs to say the least, disproving the expectation of failure.
Professional sports, now more than ever, demands pure physicality in a 162 game season.
Since the D-Backs World Series run in 2001, D-Back fans have been subjected to playing and management decisions far below par. It takes as much a mental toll as a physical one — and Gibson encapsulates experience in both. Gibson's presence in Diamondback management will hopefully spark the same inspiration as it did in 1988.
Everyone begins the season undefeated and has the ability to prove sports analysts and naysayers wrong. Near rock bottom at all-statistical production, the D‐Backs need inspiration and who better to give it to them than manager Kirk "Gibby" Gibson. Let's hope Gibson can effectively command his troops — or at least clean off the shame of 2010.

Jill Curran is the owner and founder of Lighthouse Picnics, a business that specializes in gourmet lunches, sourced from local suppliers along the coast. Meals are prepared, packed in baskets and brought to people perched on the cliffs taking in the views.
Jill Curran operates her small business out of a 130-year old lighthouse outside St. John's, Newfoundland. She never dreamed that one day she would be running a business out of the lighthouse where her great grandfather was once the keeper.
Lighthouse Picnics specializes in gourmet lunches, sourced from local suppliers along the coast. Meals are prepared, packed in baskets and brought to people perched on the cliffs taking in the views.
Since 1870, the lighthouse at Ferryland Head, a fishing village 80-kilometres south of St. John's, stood as a beacon to passing ships. Although it is still operational, the lighthouse has been automated since 1970.
For the 100 years previous, the lighthouse was staffed by families who lived in the two-family dwelling, including Ms. Curran's ancestors. As a child, Ms. Curran grew up next to the old lighthouse.
The lighthouse was an iconic symbol for the community, with artists living there in the late 70s and early 80s. But from that point on, the building fell into "significant disrepair," says Ms. Curran, and plans were made to tear it down.
(Canadian Coast Guard and LighthouseFriends.com (a guide to visiting Nfld. lighthouses))
Fortunately the Ferryland Historical Society, established in 1621, stepped in and lobbied the government to turn it over to the community.
In 2003, after spending several years in faraway places like New Zealand and Scotland, Ms. Curran moved back home and soft-launched Lighthouse Picnics.
When she started Lighthouse Picnics in she admits the idea "was a strange one." The thought of eating a gourmet picnic served on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean sounded good on paper, but she wasn't yet ready invest in marketing materials to promote the business.
"It was a new concept," she says, and the early days were a struggle. "Guests would have to trek two kilometres on a gravel road to a lighthouse that had been abandoned for years, with no water or electricity."
The first tourists simply didn't know what to expect when they arrived. "What is this?" they would ask, blanket in hand. "A class project?" But because she was taking a chance, many customers rooted for her and loyally returned to the lighthouse, year after year.
In the early days, food was prepared in Ferryland, transported to the site and served from a stand. Without a functional kitchen, the logistics in that first year were "nightmarish," she recalls.
After a successful summer, she approached the Ferryland town council for permission to restore and occupy the lighthouse. With the help of local fishermen and boat builders, they restored the dwelling and Lighthouse Picnics was officially open for business in 2004.
Now approaching its 12th season of operation, Lighthouse Picnics has a staff of 13 people, including high school students who make the lemonade.
It's been named 'a cultural gem,' attracting food writers from across the world, and was ranked as one of enRoute's "100 Favourite Things in the World" in 2004.
(Photo courtesy of Randy and Faye Hughes (pictured))
During high season, between the months of May and Sept., up to 150 travelers visit the lighthouse each day.
The picnic costs approximately $25 per person and includes a salad, sandwich, dessert and lemonade.
Depending on the day, the menu may include: an orzo, pepper and fresh mint salad; a chutney-glazed ham and brie sandwich on homemade bread; cranberry scones or peach shortcake.
Despite the fact that they're selling 'relaxation and calm,' it's a fast-paced, frenetic environment during the hours leading up to opening. The irony isn't lost on Ms. Curran. They open the doors promptly at 11:30 a.m., but all the hard work – baking bread, chopping vegetables, taking calls and folding blankets – takes place early morning.
What makes Lighthouse Picnics work, however, isn't just great food and spectacular views, says Ms. Curran. "Part of the beauty is the hike, seeing the islands in the distance, the cannons, the seabirds," she says. "It's total relaxation. No cars, no landline, no WiFi. People are forced to relax and lose track of time."
Visitors also develop life-long friendships as a result of chance encounters on vacation. "It's the conversations – whether with her or fellow travellers – that people remember most. It's the whole experience."
As for the picnic side of the business, Ms. Curran points to their historical and cultural significance in Canada, especially in Newfoundland. "Picnics are a lost art in so many societies."
(Reuben T. Parsons / Library and Archives Canada / PA-501457/Group includes Mrs. R.T. Parsons; her mother, Mrs. Joe Ross; and Bill Parsons / ca. 1900-1914 / Harbour Grace, Nfld.)
Ms. Curran says she didn't grow up wanting to open this business. Lighthouse Picnics wasn't an idea burning for years and years." After traveling the world and working abroad for years, however, she was ready to move back, to what she calls, "the most beautiful place on Earth."
The business was born of necessity, more than anything else, she says, and she wanted to do something that would help revive the community. "The Lighthouse was in bad shape…I wanted to figure out a way to bring it back it in a way that made sense," she says.
Since opening, Ms. Curran has thousands of tourists over the years and has been involved with local tourism boards and companies. Through her work, she met the owner of Maxxim Vacations, a tour operator, who asked her to take a temporary maternity leave position in 2008.
In Dec. 2010, Ms. Curran had the opportunity to buy the tour operator, which she did. "It was a big step, going from one business to two." But because of the connection with Lighthouse Picnics, "it made all the sense in the world," she said.
In terms of the challenges of running two businesses, there are quite a few, but Ms. Curran rolls with them. "Every day you want to be prepared – reputation is everything in this industry." She's an early riser, and depending on the day, she's either commuting to Maxxim's office in St. John's or heading down to Ferryland for the day.
Being the only building within a 2-kilometre stretch can also be a struggle, especially if the power goes down or the pump fails. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally she's at the mercy of mother nature.
But the busy entrepreneur, wife and mother takes it all in stride. "I'm lucky…my job is to make sure people have great memories."

From USA Hockey:
U.S. Men's National Team Falls to Denmark, 2-1, in Overtime
at 2010 IIHF World Men's Championship
COLOGNE, Germany -The U.S. Men's National Team dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to Denmark here today in its second preliminary-round game of the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Championship. It marked the second straight game that Team USA fell by a 2-1 overtime count, as the Americans now hold a 0-0-2-0 record (W-OTW-OTL-L).
"I thought we played our game in the second period," said U.S. Head Coach Scott Gordon. "Establishing a solid forecheck is a big part of playing our game. We turned the puck over way too much in the neutral zone overall. In the end, give Denmark credit. They earned the victory."
After a scoreless first period, the teams traded power-play goals in the middle stanza. Lars Eller beat U.S. netminder Scott Clemmensen (Des Moines, Iowa/Florida Panthers/Boston College) with a slap shot from the right circle at 8:52 to put Denmark on top. Just 3:11 later, Keith Yandle (Boston, Mass./Phoenix Coyotes) evened the game after he converted a cross-crease feed from Kyle Okposo (St. Paul, Minn./New York Islanders/University of Minnesota). Jack Johnson (Ann Arbor, Mich./Los Angeles Kings/University of Michigan), who is serving as Team USA's captain, also assisted on the play. The Americans had the upperhand in the period, outshooting Denmark by a 17-5 count.
After a scoreless third period, which included Team USA having to kill off a late Denmark power play, the game went to a five-minute, four-on-four overtime session. Stefan Lassen scored off a rebound 2:04 into the extra session to give Denmark its second straight victory.
Clemmensen finished with 27 saves, while Denmark goaltender Patrick Galbraith made 30 stops.
Team USA concludes the preliminary round on Wednesday (May 12) against Finland. Opening faceoff is set for 8:15 p.m. (2:15 p.m. EDT).

NHL's Chris Drury Elected to Little League Foundation Board of Trustees
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (May 10, 2010) – Chris Drury, Captain of the National Hockey League's New York Rangers, has become the first Little League Baseball World Series alumnus to be elected to the Little League Foundation Board of Trustees, it was announced today by foundation President Howard Paster.
Celebrating 55 years since its inception, the Little League Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt agency established to stabilize and insure the future of Little League – the world's largest organized youth sports program – and to protect its ideals, and extend its benefits.
"For more than a half-century, the projects supported by the Little League Foundation have been vital to the success of the organization," Mr. Paster said. "The foundation has always strived to include trustees who not only share the ideals of Little League, but who also represent a wide variety of backgrounds. We are continuing that tradition with the addition of Chris Drury to our outstanding roster of trustees."
The pursuit of excellence has defined Chris Drury since his childhood, starting with his success on the baseball field as a pitcher and catcher during his years in Trumbull (Conn.) National Little League, and later as one of the elite ice hockey players in the world.
On Aug. 26, 1989, the world first saw a glimpse of what Chris Drury would become. That day, he went to the mound at Howard J. Lamade Stadium to pitch the Championship Game of the 43rd Little League Baseball World Series versus Far East Region Champion Kang-Tu Little League from Chinese Taipei. Mr. Drury and his Trumbull National Little League teammates were tasked with stopping a five-year losing streak for the United States, which included three straight defeats to teams from Chinese Taipei.
He was up to the challenge, pitching Trumbull National Little League to a 5-2 victory before a crowd of more than 40,000 and a national television audience of millions. Twenty years later, he was back in Williamsport during the 2009 Little League Baseball World Series to accept enshrinement into the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum Hall of Excellence.
Drafted out of high school by the NHL's Quebec Nordiques, Mr. Drury elected to attend Boston University (BU), where in 1995, as a freshman, he helped the Terriers win the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey National Championship. By the end of his collegiate career, he was the first BU player to eclipse 100 goals and assists (113 and 100, respectively). As BU's captain in 1998, Mr. Drury was recognized as the Hobey Baker Award winner as the top college hockey player in the country.
One of 12 forwards selected to the USA Men's Hockey Team that won the silver medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Mr. Drury is entering his 12th year in the NHL. Since 1996, Mr. Drury has played in a several international ice hockey tournaments as a member of Team USA, including the '02 and '06 Winter Olympic Games.
In 2001, he helped the Colorado Avalanche to the Stanley Cup Championship. He also won the NHL's Rookie of the Year honors for the 1998-99 season.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2013 (1572 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission says it is going to be much more than a dollar short and a day late. After years of foot-dragging, the federal government has just now been forced to find and turn over millions of documents relating to the shameful period of Canada's history when First Nations children as young as six were taken from their homes and put into the hands of strangers, in a stranger land.
The policy is widely seen now as barbaric, and its imprint is emblazoned on whole generations. It's there, in living relief, on Main or Portage, in homeless shelters, on reserves, Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. In Canada's jails.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's job is to draw the line between the residential school history and its generational imprint on native people so Canadians can understand viscerally why aboriginals are poorer, sicker, suffer more abuse and addictions and die earlier.
Tough gig.
The degree of its success will rest upon recording the truth -- writing a reliable record of what happened and why. Some 2.5 million records have been pulled from departmental files and many millions more are to come.
Reconciliation turns on how well Canadians understand the enormity of the assault that was the residential schools and the policy's legacy. This history hurts us all.
The commission has heard from more than 5,000 of some 70,000 former students believed to be alive. Most have agreed to put it on the public record.
Only about 200 former staff have come forward. The commission doesn't know how many staff are alive, and concerned it hasn't heard from enough.
Commissioner Wilton Littlechild is uneasy about how that will affect the historical documentation. An abundance of the bad can overwhelm the good that defied the circumstances -- something that is near heresy to say in certain circles -- and distort the story that sticks in the minds of Canadians.
"What I sought from the beginning, myself, is we need to be able to tell that balanced story."
Further, Littlechild's not so sure we got the "reconciliation" bit right in framing the mandate of the commission.
Littlechild was physically, sexually and emotionally abused in an Alberta residential school. A superior athlete who eventually earned a law degree, he found salvation in high school sports.
He's run into a few of his teachers at the public hearings -- one who told Willie "you used to be such a bad boy."
Some teachers expressed regret in being part of a system that hurt so many. Others, including former students, spoke of good times and the close, nurturing relationships they made. That perspective has been well reflected in the commission's interim report.
He learned, in recent Quebec hearings, that kids weren't the only victims of the state-mandated assimilation.
"Nuns in isolated communities, much of their experience was the same or similar." Young religious women, often given as girls to convents by their families -- an offering to the church -- were sent to teach at schools half a country away, in a strange land in a strange language.
"They didn't get very much money, they lived in quarters sometimes as harsh as students. Cold," he says. "I hadn't thought about that myself."
But the larger truth, to be archived at a national research and resource centre, is told by the experiences of all who were in the schools. The commission has found the teachers and some students are hesitant to come forward, intimidated by the running narrative.
Littlechild met privately with some retired Catholic priests, former teachers who did not give statements. They were angry. And, he suspects, hiding from the truth themselves.
"One just attacked me personally.
"I felt some of them were in denial. They might have been abusers themselves."
And so, what of our chances for reconciliation, a soul-searching and searing process by which diverse people nursing long-held prejudices and come to understand, and forgive, each other?
Unlike South Africa's truth and reconciliation commission, where those who killed and maimed met victims and families in public, Canada's model does none of that. Rather, it hived off a private process for students who sought to settle verifiable claims of abuse, and gave the public commission the job of writing the cultural story.
South Africa gave its inquiry power to subpoena, with the ability to grant immunity to perpetrators who co-operated fully. Such confessions brought once powerful men who used violence to assert racial superiority to their knees in humility, begging for -- and receiving -- forgiveness. It laid bare to a nation the incomprehensible and inexplicable nature of the brutality.
"We can't order people to come to testify, and we can't give them immunity. That's partially why we don't have any admitted perpetrators (testifying).
"Personally, as an individual commissioner, I wish we had that ability."
