If We had sent it down to a non-Arab who had then recited it to them, they still would not believe in it. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 178-179 )
As a second meaning, this verse refers to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) also. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) does not know Arabic either, but teaches the Qur'an. Our Prophet (pbuh) knows Arabic very well. If we think of it as "If We had given him the task of teaching and explaining the Qur'an in the best way", I mean as an indicative meaning, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will also tell people but the ones who will not believe will not believe anyway. As a second meaning it refers to Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) not knowing Arabic, yet understanding and telling the people by reading the translation of the Qur'an and commentaries and ahl al-sunnah works. Because it is clear that he will teach by reading translation of the Qur'an.

Cameron Diaz is promoting a movie about cheating. In the movie she is dating a guy who is married and also has a girlfriend. So, of course when doing press she is going to get asked about her experiences. She says that everyone gets cheated on and that everyone will be cheated on and there is nothing you can do about it and that you have to accept it and decide how you want to deal with it. I'm guessing there have not been many relationship she has been in where guys have not cheated on her or else she probably wouldn't say that. Look at the guys she has dated though. Alex Rodriguez. Jared Leto. Both of those guys will cheat every second of every day. Justin Timberlake. At some point you have to stop and ask yourself what kind of guys you are attracted to and whether you are attracted to a guy you know is going to do that to you. In the interview she also says that she counts on her friends and that she has lots of friends and that she is fortunate to have such great friends she can see all over the world because she is mobile.
"That's the great thing about being mobile; a lot of my friends have kids and they are stuck, planted in one place."
I know lots of people with kids who are very mobile. I wonder if she is rationalizing her decision to not have kids or she really believes people are stuck once they have kids. I feel like she is talking down to people who decide to have kids.

A mother who has fought for justice for her son after he was left brain damaged following an assault on holiday has been named mum of the year.
Maggie Hughes' son Robbie still suffers from memory problems after being attacked while on holiday in Greece in 2008.
Since then she and Robbie, now 32, have suffered numerous setbacks in their mission to get justice prompting Mrs Hughes to launch a campaign to improve rights for victims of crime abroad.
Mrs Hughes and her son in hospital in 2008
Mrs Hughes, who lives in Wallington, has successfully lobbied for changes to European law to make it easier for victims of crime abroad to play a part in the justice system but believes more needs to be done and is continuing her work.
Now her work has been recognised by supermarket giant Tesco who have named her Achieving Mum of the Year in the Mum of the Year awards. She is one of seven award winners across the country and will be honoured at a glittering ceremony at the Savoy hotel in London later this month.
She said: "I feel extremely happy to be awarded a Tesco Mum of the Year Award. When something traumatic happens to a family, it can either send you in different directions or it can bring you closer together.
"My family have definitely bonded even more. I'm so proud to have played a part in bringing forth a new EU Directive to provide support for families affected by violent crimes or serious accidents abroad.
"Rather than each crime being looked after by separate organisations they are now brought together under the one unified umbrella to help anyone in need."
Mr Hughes was in a coma for several weeks following the attack at the hands of a pack of thugs during a night out while on holiday at the Greek resort of Malia on the island of Crete.
Although four men were eventually convicted of the attack in 2012, they have since appealed their conviction and are free until their fate is decided at a hearing in November.
Having been named Mum of the Year, Mrs Hughes was invited to meet David Cameron at 10 Downing Street last week as part of the run up to International Women's Day.
She said she was delighted to meet the Prime Minister and used to opportunity to speak about victims' rights.
Benjamin Herdman, left, was cleared of any wrong doing but Taylor, Bell, Bruckland, and Banton were all found guilty

How a Recruiting Event Helped a Local Community
A group of Goldman Sachs professionals in London and 19 women from local universities spent the day volunteering with the Royal London Society for Blind People. Through our Community TeamWorks initiative, the students saw a different side of collaboration at Goldman Sachs—and how our people can put their skills to work in making an impact in their communities.
CommunityTeamWorks (CTW) is a global volunteer program that gives employees time out of the office to work with nonprofit groups in their communities. In 2010, 45 Goldman Sachs offices partnered with 895 nonprofit organizations by sending 25,000 volunteers. It's a great opportunity for people to apply their problem-solving and client service skills to community projects.
On this occasion, a group of college students and Goldman Sachs professionals volunteered side-by-side and spent the day with a group of blind and partially sighted clients from the Royal London Society for Blind People (RLSB) at the Greenwich Observatory and Planetarium. The RLSB provided training in the morning and explained that their aim for the day was to give their clients the fullest possible experience of the observatory and its exhibits. The participants were then paired up with a client of the charity, and spent the afternoon guiding them around the facility.
The students were unanimous in saying they valued the chance to spend a day with potential colleagues in a non-office environment, learning new skills, meeting new people and then putting their newfound knowledge into practice.
"This was an excellent opportunity to get a better insight into the real teamwork ethic at Goldman Sachs, and talking to employees on an informal level," said one of the student volunteers.
The firm's participants, meanwhile, spoke of the importance of engaging students through the lens of CTW, which reinforces the importance of getting involved and supporting the community to all employees.
"It was very rewarding working with the people we met and also getting to know the potential candidates at the same time," said one of the CTW volunteers.

While glazing with barbecue sauce in the last few minutes adds fast flavor, mop sauces are best for flavoring tough meats you're going to be cooking for long periods of time.
Thinner than barbecue sauces, mop sauces are typically made from beer, vinegar or apple cider, and are basted onto the meat every 20 minutes using a small mop or brush, ensuring maximum flavor infusion throughout the cooking process.

This website offers access to photographic collection that previously have only been available through the libraries concerned. Now they are all online and searchable by a variety of search criteria. I did a search for Bakewell where my Matkin family come from and there were 611 photographs on offer. Another good thing is that they say you can print them off at home for personal use only without greeting into strife with the libraries concerned.
The website says…..
The libraries and museums of Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire have in their collections, hundreds of thousands of historic photographs, slides, negatives, glass plates, postcards and engravings recalling the history of the local communities over the last hundred years and more.
In the past, these treasures were held in filing cabinets and anyone who wanted to see them would have to make a trip to the library or museum – perhaps to several different locations. Thanks to a major award from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the four authorities are now working in partnership to digitise the images and make them available on the Internet, through this unique website.

How God turned a tragedy into a divine leadership transition
Nov. 29, 2009, was a marked moment in my life. My husband, Billy Joe Daugherty, passed away after our 36 years of marriage and ministry together.
Billy Joe was not only my husband, but he was also my spiritual mentor. There are others as well who have influenced me, but he had a major impact on my life and on the lives of our children, our staff, our congregation and many others around the world. He challenged me, inspired me, encouraged me, valued me and loved me.
Before we were married he turned to me and said, "I see us as a ministry team together—as husband and wife." Because Billy Joe had such a gentle, forbearing, yet firm strength, he was easy to follow as the spiritual head in our relationship. Billy Joe had laid a strong foundation for us at Victory Christian Center—one of compassion, servanthood, outreach, discipleship, debt-free operations, vision, wisdom, healing and supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit.
The day after Billy Joe died, I heard the Lord say to me, "Philippians 1:21: 'For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' Billy Joe lived for Me and now he is dead. He has gained, but you are still alive on earth, and your life does not stop."
When a person moves from one country to another country, their loved ones do not stop living and doing what they had been doing before. They continue, knowing that one day they will see their loved ones again.
God spoke to my heart: "The enemy would like to paralyze you, the church and the vision of reaching the harvest. Your response is vital to overcoming the enemy." He also said, "You are the one who must rise up, stabilize the ship, which is large, and move it forward."
When people get their eyes fixed on a person, they become paralyzed when that person is gone. I knew that God and Billy Joe would not want me, my family or our church to stop moving forward.
Right after Billy Joe passed, the Lord spoke to me to go see Freda Lindsay, co-founder of Christ for the Nations Bible Institute, where Billy Joe and I attended as students the summer of 1976. She and her daughter-in-law Ginger spent three hours with me and prayed for me. Her example of leadership following her husband's passing had always inspired me, and now more than ever.
One month after my husband passed away, my father, who was a retired Methodist pastor and a great influence in my life, also passed away. Throughout this time I experienced a supernatural grace surrounding me.
I am so thankful for my family, for a wonderful staff with servant hearts and for an amazing congregation. I have watched all of us rise in God's grace and anointing to take and multiply the vision of God and move forward.
I have key staff leaders whom I meet with regularly, but I also heard the Lord say to me to ask a group of national and international ministry leaders, whom we have known for years, to be a spiritual covering to me. I believe, as Esther 4:14 says, "Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" God needs every believer in these last days to reach people (Acts 2:17-18; Is. 60:1-5).
Sharon Daugherty is the pastor of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Okla., which she, along with her late husband, Billy Joe Daugherty, founded in 1981.

Marvell's ARMADA: Custom Designed ARM SoCs Break 1GHzby Anand Lal Shimpi on 10/19/2009 8:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
26 Comments
Back to Article
nofumble62 - Friday, October 30, 2009 - linkReading on a 5 inch screen is just suck. I used my kid's Ipod Touch, and it killed my eyes. The younger generation will all wear glass by 20. Brainwash your kids to be the Eye doctor. Reply
RinksCustoms - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - linkWhile Parallax's 8 Core microcontroller (the Propeller P8X32A) has been out since '06 with each of its internal processors each having dedicated video hardware, it's been limited to the code it could run. But looking back at it now, looks like the industry either came to the same logical conclusion OR seen a little peek of what a small company from CA could do with their very own architecture. Although the Propeller cant run like an x86 chip, it can interface with standard keyboard/mouse and output standard video composite, s-video, broadcast (analog), or VGA while doing other functions, i have seen its limitations, and it usually comes down to two things, not enough i/o pins and on board memory.
But we see where this idea is leading with onboard video and PCIe controllers being integrated on new and next gen intel CPU's Reply
iwodo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI was hoping Marvell would make a faster SoC for NAS. Current implementation could not fully utilize the Gigabit Bandwidth.
While Intel Atom has been performing much better, although at the cost of Power. Reply
PandaBear - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI just have to say the author of the article is so misinformed about ARM.
It is not intended to be a General Purposed PC processor and the main market is embedded device inside ASIC. Some of these ASIC have multiple ARM inside.
The benefit of ARM is small code size and power consumption, processing power density, rather than absolute power.
You can build an ARM CPU inside an ASIC and together they cost 14 cents or less. Try that with atom and see how much it cost.
Marvell's main market has been doing well for a long time: power efficient ASIC for hard drives, networking, and other market. It is not really a direct competitor with Intel. The deal with Global Foundry is just like with any other foundry. Reply
ProDigit - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - linkWith Atom VS ARM I meant the ARM which is focused on netbooks, not the other ones.
I'm active a lot on netbook forums,and perhaps forget to mention I'm talking about them.
I'm less interested in a MID device, because I believe it does not have a level of comfortability to type, and their screensize is terrible too!
I don't know why many manufacturers are trying to cramp the whole PC experience in a cellphone!
All I can say to that is that it's surely not comfortable, small keyboard, too small screen (can't even see a regular google search page, without having to go for the mobile one), processing power is too slow to successfully display flash movies or other movies, and their battery life is often too low to spend 2 hours on the internet,at speeds similar to a 56k modem or 112kbps ISDN connection.
Those are my thoughts about the matter;I prefer a cellphone for calling only, with an agenda, and alarm clock. The rest is added cost and bagage to me!
Then a netbook for all the standard tasks like internet, and small apps.
But that's besides the point of the article.
I honestly see no future in this MID market. It's a gadget market people will grow tired of very soon I believe.
Unless one device does it all with respectable battery life, like being an MP3/WMA/OGG player, with built in camera, and act as a cellphone, while keeping a 7day battery charge, many of these gadgets will be considered luxuries not needed.
And especially the excitement factor of a crippled Internet on the go on a cell's screen is pretty low I'd say! Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - linkSee, I'd say MIDs are more useful than netbooks. A netbook is too big to fit in any pocket, which means I would need some type of a bag, and at that point I'd just go for a more powerful ultraportable that could also function as a real laptop. I don't try to use the internet on my phone for watching videos or other things I do on a real computer, it is for quickly looking stuff up on the go. What I would like to see is far better battery life though, I can easily kill the battery in my Diamond with a decent amount of texting plus random other usage in a day. Reply
DLeRium - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI don't think Anand's that clueless about the mobile market, but a lot of users here are PC enthusiasts as am I. However I've followed the mobile market for years be it the Symbian, WinMo, and now iPhone, Palm, BB scene.
Too many people go OMG INTEL's ATOM is the next big thing. However it was Intel's attempt to scale down Centrino/Core architecture into netbooks. It's not for the mobile arena just yet. ARM is building up meanwhile and NVidia has demoed Tegra + GeForce doing amazing things. Netbooks might be able to be powered by Cortex A9s soon enough.
Anand's focus on a CPU this time is very good. I don't like it when he jumps into analyzing the mobile market, especially from a US iPhone fanboi perspective. It really distorts things. Reply
The0ne - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI have to agree that ARM is not a direct competitor at this point in time. However, if Intel penetrates more of ARMs market there would be little doubt that it is in direct competition even if the hardware is different. I don't see this happening anytime soon as well. We use ARM in our products for the reasons you've describe. Cost and code size. You really can't beat that :)
Next year should be fun with the technology :D Can't wait! Reply
Voo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWe all know, that Intel at least in the long term wants to penetrate the smartphone market (and similar things like ebooks as well?) and I'm rather sure that the ARM chips in a iphone or palm pre cost more than 14 cents.
Sure that's only a fraction of the whole market, but I'd think it's rather lucrative.. Reply
Voo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWe really need a edit function..
Can someone explain to me, why the codesize should be smaller with a smaller instruction set than a larger one? I'd think it should be the other way round, but I'm clearly not the expert here. Reply
PandaBear - Thursday, October 22, 2009 - linkThe reason CISC is easy on code size is that a lot of instruction and data are less than 32 bit. ARM has a Thumb instruction set that is only 16 bit so most of the code can be cramped into smaller size. When you are talking about code size of 48kB and an OS that is only 6kB, any saving counts.
14 cents processor is the very low end one. The more powerful ones cost more of course. The processor in your flash drive is only around that much. Reply
Sc4freak - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkYes, it's the other way around. CISC architectures were designed to reduce memory pressure by cramming more work into the instructions. This reduces memory bandwidth requirements, but increases chip complexity. Reply
ProDigit - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkInteresting Article!!
It's only a pitty that they still are manufacturing at 55nm. But even at 55nm, it can best out Intel's Atom on power levels, though be it with a little lower performance.
When this ARM will be manufactured on the same die size as the Atom processor, it very well could outperform the Atom processor!
The only con is that it does not have a form of hyperthreading available, that would make use of the sleeping parts in a core; and add a reduced system response time.
It will have to bounce against the Atom SOC, which may utilize better 3D graphics (eventhough Intel graphics are pretty crappy, they might be better than ARM's graphics chip), at 45nm and a chip at 32nm.
Nomatter how optimized the chip is, it's hard to beat a 32nm chip with a 55nm one performance/powerdraw-wise. Reply
Lekko - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkwhat if you put on a conductive sheet under the processor to just double-up on the underside thickness of the pads? It would give you just a bit more contact especially if you used a softer conductive material for the pins to better mash into.
That could be a potential $15 fix to the issue. Just need someone to manufacture a sheet with conductive pads in the same array. Reply
bobsmith1492 - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWrong article?
That sounds like a good idea, though (I'm assuming you mean the i5 pin contact issue). Reply
Ronamadeo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkCortex A8 vs Snapdragon vs This.
This is getting insane, we need phone benchmarks. Nowish.
I want to know whether the A8 is faster than a snapdragon. Reply
roymbrown - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkSnapdragon IS Cortex A8 as is Ti's OMAP3xxx and Samsung's processor in the iPhone 3GS. Other features (graphics, I/O, cache) may vary, but the processor core in these are identical. This is what makes the Marvel offering unique. Reply
Sc4freak - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkIt's not a Cortex A8 in Snapdragon. Rather, it's a Qualcomm-customised core that's similar to the A8, but runs at a higher clockspeed (1ghz). Reply
roymbrown - Thursday, October 22, 2009 - linkI stand corrected. Sorry for the misinformation and thanks for the correction. Cortex A8 vs Scorpion(processor core in Snapdragon) vs Sheeva benchmarks would indeed be interesting.
Is Scorpion "based" on Cortex A8 beyond the instruction set? Most articles I see just say "similar to Cortex A8" and the ARM licensees page lists them under ARM11 licensees, but not Cortex. Does anyone know if Scorpion is code compatible with Cortex A8 or are there instruction set differences, like Sheeva's lack of NEON? Reply
Randomblame - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkcool beans, maybe this will push the price of the snapdragon chips down a bit and make faster phones cheaper. I just can't wait to ditch the msm7201a it is the slowest most horribly underperforming chip in the universe.
in 2002 microsoft changed the name of it's pocket pc os to windows mobile. every year or two since then they've changed the way it looks ever so slightly. Nearly 8 years later the os is the same damned thing but the processors have shrunk 4 times and been redesigned over and over - yet they run this operating system just as slow as they did 8 years ago. I'm ready for some changes. Reply
FuriousCoder - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWhen you refer to three companies in the PC space, are you referring to Intel, AMD, and nVidia? Reply
Rindis - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkProbably Via. They're out of any sort of performance market, but they still make x86 instruction set chips. Reply
JonnyDough - Saturday, October 24, 2009 - linkThere's no "probably" about it. He meant Via. But if NVidia has it their way there will be either a new GPGPU market or they'll be eventually competing in the x86 space. Reply
Wwhat - Monday, October 26, 2009 - linkIt's interesting with nvidia, they say their new GPU is fully c++ compliant right? So they bypass the whole instruction set issue by just realizing everything is written in a higher language and then compiled anyway, so if they have a compiler and equal capabilities and their GPU-also-CPU is in PC's anyway.. well it's almost like the real thing.
bobsmith1492 - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkHow is this different from, say TI's Omap or DaVinci devices - ARM7 core with integrated DSP for video processing? Reply
etal2 - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkThe difference is software.
This chip will make all existing software faster while in order to see any benefit from an Omaps DSP you need to rewrite the software specifically to take advantage of it. Reply

Topic: This Advise Giver Needs Some Advise
About February/March I wrote that Teddy was getting extremely bloated and "flatuated" not to confuse with infatuated. All blood work is normal so far and we get newest PET results next Wednesday. The above problem is getting worse and you know what that does to our minds. When he gets like this he sleeps the day away. He also said he needs to eat dinner about 4PM now as he feels the food is not "going down" in time for bed, if its later then he is up all night with indigestion. Problem #2 is once you have a Whipple can you still have an endoscopy? One doctor was rushing to do it last winter and another, who is tops, says you can't do an endoscopy anymore as everything is rearranged. Who to believe. Any advise is welcome! He has cut his portions down and trying not to eat bloatable foods. Bottom line I am concerned because its getting worse not better.

A 25-year-old soldier from City Heights was killed in a vehicle accident while on deployment in Kuwait.
Army Spc. Trinidad Santiago Jr. was one of two soldiers killed Thursday in the accident at Camp Buehring in Kuwait. Pfc. Charles P. McClure, 21, of Stratford, Okla., also died.
The men were assigned to the 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, based out of Fort Carson, Colo.
Santiago grew up in San Diego and graduated from Hoover High School in 2005, said his wife, Belgica Santiago, 23. The couple married in January 2012, she said, and Belgica is four months pregnant.
After he graduated from Hoover, Santiago earned his associate degree from Coleman University. He aspired to become a graphic designer, his wife said.
"Nobody had anything bad to say about him," Belgica said. "He was shy. He wouldn't really join the crowd. He never complained and always did what he was told."
Belgica, who also graduated from Hoover, further described her husband as sweet man who took care of his family and was never selfish. He loved cars, and he loved to play golf, she said.
He appeared to be excited about becoming a father. The cover photo on Santiago's Facebook page was of a sonogram of his unborn child.
Santiago joined the Army on Oct. 13, 2009, after finishing his studies at Coleman, and he arrived at Fort Carson on July 27, 2012. He had been in Kuwait since February and had also served in Afghanistan from Dec. 5, 2010, until Nov. 28, 2011.
His military decorations include the Joint Service Achievement Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, the Meritorious Unit Commendation, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Ribbon, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon and the NATO Medal.

Navy Cross Citation
16 April 1945 — Okinawa Shima, Ryukyu Islands, Japan
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Commander Frederick Julian Becton (NSN: 0-70065), United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of this profession as Commanding Officer of the Destroyer U.S.S. LAFFEY (DD-724), in action against enemy Japanese forces off Okinawa, on 16 April 1945. With his ship under savage attack by thirty hostile planes, Commander Becton skillfully countered the fanatical enemy tactics, employing every conceivable maneuver and directing all his guns in an intense and unrelenting barrage of fire to protect his ship against the terrific onslaught. Crashed by six of the overwhelming aerial force which penetrated the deadly anti-aircraft defense, the U.S.S. LAFFEY, under his valiant command fought fiercely for over two hours against the attackers, blasting eight of the enemy out of the sky. Although the explosions of the suicide planes and two additional bombs caused severe structural damage, loss of armament and heavy personnel casualties, Commander Becton retained complete control of his ship, coolly directing emergency repairs in the midst of furious combat, and emerged at the close of the action with his gallant warship afloat and still an effective fighting unit. His unremitting tenacity of purpose, courageous leadership and heroic devotion to duty under fire were inspiring to those who served with him and enhanced the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

9Solutions IPCS is a wireless Bluetooth and SaaS-based real-time locating system (RTLS) and application platform that enables real-time tracking of people and equipment. The 9Solutions system, which works with cell phones, can be used to protect "lone employees" -- medical and other personnel who might need assistance while doing their jobs.
9Solutions also targets healthcare patients, who can use the product as a sophisticated nurse call button. Residents of an assisted living facility, for instance, can be tracked -- and can call for help -- anywhere they go on the facility's premises while wearing a system tag such as a necklace or wristwatch. The system can notify caregivers if a resident has entered an unsecured area.
The technology also can save personal activity profiles for each user and if any differ too much from the user's long-term activity, it can automatically send an alarm to caregivers. The system can work with older equipment such as traditional rope pulls, but it's its wireless location and activity monitoring options that set it apart. The 9solutions IPCS isn't available yet in the U.S.

Dana Holgorsen Signing Day News Conference
Sara Wells
February 05, 2014 05:31 PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
– West Virginia Football coach Dana Holgorsen addressed members of the media today concerning the 2014 Signing Class.
Opening statement
It's been a successful day today. We got started this morning pretty early, and I was excited to see the first fax come in at 7:01 a.m. (Cornerback) Dravon Henry gets the first of the day award, and it was awesome to see that. Overall, it was a pretty exciting day.
We've done a lot of the same things as last year with this recruiting class. We had recruits from 14 different states, and this year we've got 11 states covered. Our overall numbers right now are at 22 for this year's class. We had six guys come in at the semester. They've all been working out and doing a great job.
Skyler Howard
, the quarterback,
Ricky Rogers
the receiver, (offensive tackle)
Sylvester Townes
, and (linebacker)
Davonte James
Edward Muldrow
are the guys that are in the program and are doing a great job for us. That leaves about 15 guys who signed on today.
I really want to give credit to our assistant coaches, starting with Ryan Dorchester, who headed this whole thing up and does a great job in house, as far as where everyone's going, what our needs are and identifying our target. He organized all the weekends. That's obviously a job in itself, and he's done a great job with it. Tony Gibson, JaJuan Seider, Lonnie Galloway and Brian Mitchell, those four guys that were all added a year ago, did a tremendous job getting comfortable in their areas.
Three of them were already comfortable in their areas, and then Brian Mitchell got comfortable in New Jersey and Philadelphia, and he did a great job with that. He also did a great job getting junior college guys in Mississippi, California and Kansas. I really appreciate all of them and the staff and the players.
The players did a great job when these guys were on campus. Our job is to get them here, and then our players spend a lot of time with them. They were great over the recruiting weekends as far as selling them on what we have to offer and on the direction that we're going.
When you look at the numbers, we've added 22 guys, and our numbers are right at 85. That's been a topic of discussion around here for quite some time. We're excited to get those healthy numbers. We've got 70-some working out in the offseason right now, which gets the coaching staff incredibly excited about the offseason.
On offense
Offensively, we took a little bit of everything. Clearly we have a need at quarterback. (Redshirt-senior) Clint (Trickett) and (senior) Paul (Millard) are doing a great job in the offseason at quarterback. Adding Howard to the day-to-day part of it has been good. Adding William Crest will be great as well. He has been coming here for the better part of three years and building a relationship with Geno (Smith). He's been getting to know myself and coach (Shannon) Dawson, and when Lonnie (Galloway) got hired a year ago, his first job was to get to Dunbar High School and make sure that we got him. We have accomplished that goal.
We had a good surprise today in (running back) Donte Thomas-Williams out of North Carolina. He was one of our highest targets at running back. The guys did a great job of identifying him. He's a big kid, runs fast and is talented. He has a ton of upside. I'll give Galloway and Seider credit for dual-recruiting him. He's been up here three or four times and that'll work out good for us.
With Coach Seider being from the Miami area, he's doing a great job recruiting South Florida. He got a great couple of receivers with Jacob McCrary and Lamar Parker. Those guys could have went to a lot of different places, and he got hooks in early and was able to get them as well.
On the O-line, we got a couple of junior college tackles in Justin Scott from California, who is originally from Detroit, and Townes out of North Mississippi. Townes looks a lot like (redshirt-sophomore offensive lineman)
Adam Pankey
. He's 6'5" or 6'6" with a wide range. We will be able to see what he does this offseason and use him during spring ball.
Out of high school, we got offensive linemen Amanii Brown, Walter Rauterkus and Dontae Angus who are big bodies. They are huge people that are going to be part of our offensive line that needs to exist each and every year.
On defense
Defensively, we got three big bodies for the defensive line, that we really feel will come in here and develop. Again, we have to get the defensive line to the numbers that we have on offense, which is around 17. We need kids who will play and are a little older. We haven't been able to do that since I've been here. We did get (defensive line) Tyree Owens, (defensive end) Jaleel Fields and (defensive line) Yodny Cajuste. We don't know if they can come in and compete right away. If they can, we will give them the opportunity to do so. If they can't, we will give them the chance to grow and be a force for us later on.
Linebackers, we got James, who's here working out right now and Xavier Preston, a guy from South Florida with a wide range. They're athletic guys that can run around and make plays.
I'm really excited about our safeties. Obviously that starts with Henry. Gibson is Mr. Pittsburgh right now and did a great job getting up there and getting him. To be able to get a guy like Henry, who is one of the better players in Pittsburgh and the whole state of Pennsylvania, and can play a lot of different positions is great. We will be able to use him to put together what we think will be one of the greater secondaries in college football. We will continue to develop and the younger guys will get better.
(Safety) Daejuan Funderburk out of Washington, D.C., also has a wide range and will grow. He does a great job of making plays on the ball. (Cornerback) Jaylon Myers, who is a junior college guy but has three years to play, he had eight or nine interceptions in the first five or six games. He definitely does a great job of getting after the ball.
The numbers are getting better. More of them will be here in June. I'm very impressed with the coaching staff.
On numbers
We're finally at a point to where it wasn't a necessity to fill up. Over the last two or three years, I've told (Ryan) Dorchester that if we don't fill our spots, we've got to do something. Now that we're hitting 21 and 22 signees, and we're maxed out overall, we have to lose a couple of guys in order to gain some guys.
That opportunity will be there whether it's due to grades or injuries. We will wait until we get to spring practice and spring grades. The guys we signed are good as far as eligibility is concerned, but they've still got to finish strong. If one or two of these guys don't make it, we will have the ability to bring in a couple of guys. Keep in mind, we got Charles Sims and Trickett in June of last year.
On junior college signees
We took seven junior college guys last year, and this year we took six. Two of the six are three-year guys. Two of the other four have a redshirt year. We'd like to get it to where we don't need to take a lot of them. What we want to get is to where we can get guys in the program for three, four, and five years who really know it. There's a difference in a fifth-year senior and a first-year junior.
If you look at our sophomore and junior class, the numbers there are very high and heavy with guys that came here as true freshmen. We want to get guys who are developed and who have really put in the time. It means a lot to them to be here. It's tough to develop that mentality and pride when they are here for a year.
There are guys here for three semesters, from a junior college, that are out before you know it. However, there are guys who are spectacular that way. You get a guy like (redshirt-senior offensive lineman)
Mark Glowinski
, who you redshirt for a year, and he ends up being a tremendous football player, because he's been here for three years. (Senior running back)
Dreamius Smith
has been here for three semesters and keeps getting better. Players like (senior wide receiver)
Mario Alford
, who got injured and then
in December, he looked like a million bucks and right now will be graduating before you know it.
We want to use our junior college players but also get more high school players so we can have them for four or five years.
On the quarterback situation
I, as well as 1.8 million people, hope we can pick a starter out of these four. If you look at our situation, Trickett got hurt, and then got better and then got hurt. He'll get better in the offseason with just mentality, and Millard will continue to get better. With that said, both of their performances weren't good enough. Hopefully they get better, or someone will pass them up.
With that said, we've been very candid with those guys as that being the current situation. Howard is here and is studying hard, is throwing with the guys and is here a lot. I haven't been able to coach him yet, but obviously Coach (Shannon) Dawson did a great job watching him through 11 games and getting him on campus. The film supports what we think he can be.
The good news is that his idol is Russell Wilson, and that's good for a number of obvious reasons. He believes that he's got the skill set to be able to be successful. I'm really excited about coaching him.
My conversations with Crest include him having a lot of opportunities. We get to coach him more this summer than we have in the past with the new NCAA regulations. We couldn't do that before. We will get him ahead of what he would've been in years past, and he'll make the most of the opportunities that he has to practice.
We should be in a much, much better situation come September 1st than we were a year ago. It's our job to make sure that we get someone who will be ready to roll.
On William Crest
I hate saying too many good things about guys before they actually get here, but he's just a very eager guy. He's bright-eyed, he smiles, he lights up a room and people are drawn to him. His skillset is good. He's athletic and has broad shoulders and a strong arm. What's the adjustment period going to be from a mentality and knowledge standpoint? I can't answer that question until we actually start coaching him. His skill set is great, as well as his personality, leadership qualities and home life. He's a great kid, and people are drawn to him.
On Dontae Angus
Coach (Brian) Mitchell got in there and established a relationship and stuck with him. As the contact period came about, he started popping in there and we convinced him to come over last weekend. He came over with his mother and had a great time. Again, that's where it comes back to our players. This past weekend we had 10 official visitors. We had a great Junior Day on Saturday, and all of the official visitors, juniors and team went to the basketball game. All of them had a great time. Angus hit it off with some of the guys.
We get excited for big bodies like that. They're hard to find. He can play on both sides of the ball. We have him on offense right now, but we'll see what happens.
On recruiting
It's becoming more and more common across the United States for guys to leave their home states to go other places. Our philosophy here has been the same since I've been here.
We want to identify the local talent and try our hardest to get them. We focus on the surrounding states and go to the talent-rich states of North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Texas. We try to develop our connections and get our foot in the door in those places. That's been the norm, and I don't see that changing.
We've got coaches everywhere, and we're going to develop relationships in every area and get stronger.
On two quarterbacks for spring ball
That's not ideal. We moved (redshirt-senior)
Logan Moore
there as well. We haven't given him a fair chance at any position, so he will be a third quarterback in the spring to get reps. I don't know how close Trickett will be. He won't be ready for the first of spring, but he will be when we return from Spring Break, which will be 12 practices in. Whether he's available I don't know yet.
We will get a lot out of Millard and Howard. We've had springs where we went with two or less if I'm not mistaken, so with them healthy and Logan able to do some things, they will all get a bunch of reps.
Our numbers overall are good. Seventy-some guys on scholarship in the spring is something I've never been a part of. If we get 25 or 30 walk-ons, we will have almost camp numbers going into spring ball. We will play a lot of football. This will help us be able to see improvement in guys and they can show us what they've got.
On Millard playing baseball
That won't affect anything on our end. Football pays the bills. He hasn't and won't miss anything on our end.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2011 (2297 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many people will pay homage to their mothers on Sunday. No matter the distance, flowers will be sent and phones will be ringing as sons and daughters take a few moments to honour the woman who nurtured and cared for them, who was the source and sustenance of life and to acknowledge her sacrifices.
On this day, once a year, we recognize the value of a mother.
But there is, for many, a contradiction that belies our actions. While we rightly honour our mothers on Mother's Day, at the same time we devalue their role.
For example, the recognition and awareness of the crucial role of mothering in a child's healthy development and, consequently, to future generations, is gradually being eroded. It is often seen as a secondary role in the scheme of our busy lives. Social and economic pressures continue to present conflicts for mothers in terms of child care, at the same time attachment theory emphasizes the importance of mothering in the early years.
In Mothering magazine, Dr. Elliott Barker, a Canadian psychiatrist states that "the low status of parenting also gets in the way of adequately nurturing infants and toddlers. Given the importance of the task and how much it contributes to society, it seems clear that parents ought to be venerated. Wouldn't it be nice if the amount of press coverage devoted to industrial and sports heroes could be transferred to people who truly deserve idolization?"
Perhaps we can best assess the value of a mother in the event of her absence. Her loss may be due to an untimely death, or she may be present physically but absent emotionally or psychologically through mental illness or other debilitating disorder. Not until we experience a pain in our inconspicuous little toe or in our unobtrusive thumb, are we even aware of their presence or value to us in our daily lives.
But mothers don't have to be perfect. She, too, was once a child with her own vicissitudes of life. And, like you, she also has her needs and cares as an adult.
Yet, she performs a multitude of activities to ensure her child's needs are met that is a greater challenge and more important than any other undertaking.
We can attempt to delineate her role in three areas, such as support through providing the basic needs physically, emotionally and psychologically; protection from harm along with safety, security and shelter from the emotional storms of life; as well as being a role model that offers guidance as we make our way in the world.
In what way can we define her worth? Do we try to put a monetary value on it? That is impossible because it is priceless.
To this point, I have only described the practical tasks that mothers do. What cannot be seen, but only felt, is the unconditional love that permeates her actions and envelops her child like a warm blanket. And much like Linus in the Peanuts comic strip, he takes it with him wherever he goes. Perhaps the importance of mothers can best be expressed in the words of the child in all of us.
She finds my socks in a rushed morning.
She doesn't yell at me when I make a mistake.
She gives me a hug when I am sad.
She listens to me when I want to tell her something.
She puts my art work on the fridge because they're special.
She reads me a story at bedtime.
She is my friend when I have none.
She makes the best chicken soup.
She makes me wear mittens, and a toque, and a scarf, and boots when it's cold outside, even if I don't want to.
She plays scrabble with me even though I always win.
She cries sometimes but I don't know why.
She holds me when I have bad dreams, when I am afraid of the dark, or when lightning and thunder scare me.
She gives me a hug when I am mad.
She cools my brow when I am sick.
She hurts when I hurt
She kisses me for no reason.
She loves me just because I'm me.
These needs are not just for children. They remain with us all of our lives. We learn how to satisfy them better as we 'mature', but when life overwhelms us, or we feel sad or lonely or frightened, we all hunger for a mother's touch, for a mother's hug, for a mother's love. As Barbra Streisand sings in People, "And yet letting our grown-up pride hide all the need inside."
That is why the most fundamental loss of a mother is the loss of love. A child may recognize who they have lost but not what they have lost. Only in her absence does the impact of the loss become clearer over time. Only in her absence does her value become perceptible. Only when it disappears is the value of a mother deeply felt.
And it is irreplaceable. Perhaps Doris Lessing was right when she pointed out in the CBC Massey lectures that, "what we have we take for granted. What we are used to, we cease to value."
To those who are fortunate to still have mothers in their lives, be thankful, and let her know how much she is cherished. For those who don't, treasure the memories that have become even more precious.
And for those who are themselves mothers, you have undertaken the most difficult but important task of life with all its joys and sorrows. You have taken on the most valuable contribution to society and its future, as well. So, to mothers and to those who 'mother,' we honour you.

Life is Beautiful
The idea: An instant fix for wayward hems
The story: "I was walking down Madison Avenue in my Balenciaga dress pants and wanted to change into flats to go into the subway," remembers George, who also happens to be the star of the Cinemax action-drama Hunted. "But I couldn't, because of six inches of hem." That moment, the 36-year-old says, was the impetus for creating HemmingMyWay, her adhesive-snap invention that instantly shortens garments without tailoring. In 2009, the product launched online and then found a lucrative home on QVC (a 48-piece set costs $23); shortly thereafter, George and her business partner, Kara Harshbarger, unveiled an offshoot version, Style Snaps (16 pieces for $9.99), which made more than $15 million last year alone. Now, with four more patents in development, including a tablecloth adjuster, George continues to thrive as a curious Hollywood hybrid. "A casting agent came up to me and said, 'I heard a rumor that you invented that thing….' I said, 'Yes, but I'm an actress first and foremost, so please give me that movie!' People are either blown away by it or confused."
The idea: A system that uses giant tanks of compressed air to store energy
The story: There's the fast track—and then there's Fong, the cofounder of and chief scientist at Berkeley, California–based LightSail Energy. After graduating from college at 17, she left Princeton's physics PhD program to start the company, which develops technology to make clean power from wind and solar farms available whenever it's needed—not just when the weather permits—via highly effective storage tanks. Fong, 25, has said that the market for her innovative method (using compressed-air tanks and water to store and release power) is expected to exceed $1 trillion over the next 20 years. And with billionaire investors such as Bill Gates and PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel onboard, Fong is already seeing some serious green: LightSail Energy has raised more than $52 million since its founding in 2009.

Our season-long garden party Summer Fest 2012 welcomes food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Fresh this week: summer squash.
Any way you slice your seasonal squash it's going to taste delicious. And since all of the parts of squash are edible, from the flesh to the skin, you can eat it in a variety of ways. Slice it thinly on a mandoline, cut it into chunks and top it with cheese or hollow out part of the inside and serve it stuffed.
Here are our favorite ways to cook summer squash:
- Use a mandoline to thinly slice summer squashes in different colors of green and yellow to make this colorful, no-cook Summer Squash Salad. The squash will soften after it's topped with lemon juice, olive oil and herbs.
- If you're not willing to share one of summer's favorite veggies, make a Summer Squash Casserole in individual cast iron Lodge Round Mini-Servers. Combine half moon cuts of squash with butter and onions before topping with bread and crushed crackers and baking until golden brown.
- Skip slicing and stuff halves of squash with bulgar in this recipe for Stuffed Summer Squash that features a homemade spice blend including coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and more. Save scooped out flesh to toss into soups, frittatas or other egg dishes, or pastas.
- Slice squash lengthwise and grill to make these veggie-filled Quesadillas With Charred Tomato Salsa. Fill corn tortillas with the grilled summer squash (you can also use zucchini), Manchego cheese and some Ancho Chile Paste for spice. Serve with homemade charred tomato salsa or your favorite store-bought brand.
- Turn a savory summer squash favorite, zucchini, into a delicious dessert with this recipe for Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread With Pecans. Shred it lengthwise before adding to a buttermilk batter and topping with nuts and chocolate chunks.

(Reuters) - U.S. regulators have granted Merck & Co's experimental treatment for advanced melanoma a "breakthrough therapy" designation, which could speed development and regulatory review of the product.
The medicine, whose chemical name is lambrolizumab, is also being tested against other forms of cancer. It belongs to a promising class of therapies that harness the body's immune system to find and attack cancer cells. It targets a protein called PD-1, or Programmed Death receptor.
The FDA created the "breakthrough therapy" designation earlier this year for medicines deemed likely to demonstrate "substantial improvement" over existing drugs.
Although it is intended to provide an easier path for drug development, Merck said it was not yet clear what specific benefits the designation would afford.
Merck shares slipped 0.6 percent in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange to $48.36.

Shortly after 12 Sprinter trains were bought in 2003, Vista City Councilwoman Judy Ritter declared: "This vehicle and the new rail line will be unlike anything North County residents have ever seen before."
Ritter, chairwoman of the North County Transit District at the time, was right and then some.
The German-made Sprinter light-rail trains are common in Europe but are unlike any other train in California and most of the United States. That rarity wasn't an issue during the Sprinter's first five years of operation.
Then in late February, state inspectors found accelerated brake-rotor wear on all the Sprinter trains.
Novelty suddenly turned into a crisis.
Replacements for the rotors, which transit officials thought would last another five years, didn't exist on warehouse shelves in North County or anywhere across the globe. They would have to be specially made in Europe.
The transit district's officials shut down the Sprinter network starting March 9 and estimated that it could take up to four months for resumption of service.
About a week ago, the agency began testing new rotors from a Slovenian company and decided that they performed well enough to merit a full purchase for all 12 trains, plus spares. The district has neither disclosed how much the emergency purchase cost, nor said what caused the premature wear on the original parts.
There are more hurdles to clear, including sign-offs from regulators and restoring the district's bruised image. In the meantime, thousands of former Sprinter riders are relying on temporary replacement buses to travel the network's Oceanside-to-Escondido route.
The wait has raised questions about why local transit officials chose this particular type of train, instead of more common varieties such as the San Diego Trolley. Questions have also arisen about why the transit district didn't stock replacement rotors beforehand.
Cost and aesthetics
The decision to pick the Sprinter, a process put in motion in the early 1990s, came down to cost, aesthetics, ridership estimates and the lack of light-rail trains made in the United States, said current and former officials for the transit district.
A 1992 study by the San Diego Association of Governments highlighted diesel multiple unit trains, or DMUs, as the best fit for the agency.
Ridership in North County wasn't expected to be strong enough to justify the higher costs of an electric system like the trolley, where infrastructure expenses for overhead wires and substations can add $3 million per mile to a railway's start-up costs.
At the time, there was also a move to put utility wires underground in North County. That worked against an electric rail system, said Corky Smith, a director of the transit district and a San Marcos councilman at the time.
By the early 2000s, when North County transit leaders began searching for a specific DMU model, "Nearly all U.S. manufacturers of diesel multiple units had gone out of business," Tom Tulley, the agency's safety chief, wrote in a recent blog post.
Foreign trains
Diesel multiple unit trains are a cross between smaller, more nimble San Diego Trolleys and larger, traditional commuter trains such the Coaster or Amtrak.
They operate from Sri Lanka to South Korea and Ireland to Iran, and have done so for decades. But only a handful of rail agencies in the United States operate this type of train, partly because U.S. rail regulations bar DMUs from running on tracks used by traditional commuter rail.
Siemens, the German company that built the Desiro Classic DMU trains for the Sprinter system, has sold more than 600 of that type in several countries, according to Siemens spokeswoman Elizabeth Cho.
Aside from the 12 trains it made for North County, Siemens hasn't sold a single Desiro Classic in the United States and has no pending orders for that model in this country, Cho said. Only a handful of rail agencies in North America operate DMUs, including those in Ottawa, Canada; Austin, Texas; and Camden, N.J.
Former Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler, who served on the transit district's board through much of the 1990s, said choosing a DMU model was important because it kept expenses down as officials sought federal funding for the Sprinter network. The Siemens purchase ultimately cost $50 million.
Pfeiler said the district's officials believed the maintenance history of DMUs was strong. She expressed disappointment with the current rotor problem.
While Siemens designed and constructed the Sprinter's complex braking system, it did not build the rotors that wore out unexpectedly. Those were made by Faiveley Transport of France.
Moving forward
By the end of April, the North County Transit District hopes to receive its full set of replacement rotors from the Slovenian company Kovis. At that time, the agency also expects to announce a "relaunch" date for the Sprinter.
For now, the agency's replacement buses and some contracted vans and taxis continue to ferry former Sprinter riders across North County.
Looking back at the decision to buy the unique trains, Ritter, who is now Vista's mayor, said she's surprised the transit agency didn't keep replacement rotors on hand.
Otherwise, she said, she has few regrets about backing the Sprinter purchase.
"I think we made the best choice at the time," she said. "And (the trains) have served us very well — until the brake problem."

Using the debugger with Adobe Reader
The JavaScript Debugger is normally accessed from the Acrobat Pro user interface, but it can also be triggered to appear in Adobe Reader when an exception occurs. Though fully supported JavaScript debugging is only available in Acrobat Pro, the following instructions make the complete Debugger functionality available in Adobe Reader on Windows and Mac OS platforms.
For Windows, note that this procedure involves editing the registry. Adobe Systems Incorporated does not provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. It is recommended that you back up the registry before modifying it.
- Get a copy of the file debugger.js from an installation of Acrobat (plugins folder), the Acrobat Developer Center, or from the SDK (Acrobat 9.0 SDK/JavaScriptSupport/Debugger/debugger.js)
- Copy the debugger.js into the Reader 9.0/Reader/JavaScripts folder.
- Create key/value pairs in the registry settings, starting at the location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs\ on Windows as shown in the table below, or in the property list file :Library:Preferences:com.adobe.Reader9.0.plist on Mac OS.
For Mac OS, use an appropriate editor for the property list file, and add the following children under JSPrefs, using Type "Array" in each case: ConsoleOpen, ConsoleInput, EnableDebugger, and Exceptions. Under each of these children, add the following children: 0 (number) and 1 (boolean).
(This will break into the Debugger when exceptions occur.)
4. Close and restart Adobe Reader. At this point the Javascript Debugger will be available.
Note: Since Adobe Reader does not provide access to the Debugger through its menu items or the Ctrl + J key sequence, the only ways to access the Debugger are to execute a JavaScript, cause an error, or customize the user interface (for example, you could add a button that runs a JavaScript causing the Debugger to appear).

|Jon Bannenberg: 1929-2002
Part 2: Adorned with radically unconventional angles and ultra-modern lines...
By Diane M. Byrne — August 2002
While that project led to other marine contracts, notably a number of guest suites and the two-level public room aboard the QE2 in 1967, it's remarkable to realize that Bannenberg wasn't widely recognized until the launch of Carinthia VI at Germany's Lürssen Shipyard in 1972, when his rule-breaking originality turned the yachting world on its ear. Commissioned by German retailing tycoon Helmut Horten, the now-famous 233-footer was adorned with radically unconventional angles and ultra-modern lines that stood in marked contrast to the virtual sea of conservative, traditional-looking profiles that were being turned out by the world's top designers. Her sheer size was also extraordinary--Horten had to have the wall at the Cannes marina where he always kept his yachts extended to accommodate her. (Kept in immaculate condition by Horten's widow, Carinthia VI has gone on to become an icon in the yachting world, even inspiring clothing magnate Leslie Wexner to commission Bannenberg to design his 316-foot Limitless.)
Word of Bannenberg's talents spread, and soon other extraordinarily wealthy individuals commissioned him to create avant-garde masterpieces. Three of the best-known ground-breakers were the 282-foot Nabila, 151-foot Azteca, and same-size Paraiso. Built by Benetti for Adnan Khashoggi in 1980, Nabila became as notorious as her owner, due to her theatrical lighting and funnels that extended out from the side of the uppermost deck like embryonic wings. Paraiso and Azteca, commissioned simultaneously by Mexican media magnate Emilio Azcarraga Milmo and launched in 1983 from Feadship's Van Lent yard and in 1984 from Feadship's De Vries yard, respectively, caused a stir before they hit the water. If the yachting world had thought the lines Bannenberg gave to Carinthia VI were out of the ordinary, imagine their shock when they saw a design that called for the main hull form to be taken up to the top deck.
In fact, it was Azteca's very design that inspired Malcolm Forbes to commission his 151-foot The Highlander from Feadship. At The Highlander's launch, Bannenberg reflected on the concept behind the high hull sides. "What it is, really, what I'm trying to do, gets back to the classic superstructure look. That's really the key to the whole thing. To somehow increase the hull and still keep it sleek and make the superstructure less. It's kind of really all those beautiful old classic boats everyone loves. It's just a hull with a very little deckhouse and a funnel.... This length yacht in the past would have had probably a tenth of the volume of this boat. You're always fighting that."
Something else Bannenberg successfully fought was the concept that a yacht is the result of three separate forces: the yard, naval architect, and interior designer, with the latter two being in-house employees of the yard. He believed that each yacht was a complete design that could be conceived by an independent designer, one in which the hull, superstructure, and interior all must complement one another, and one in which the overall motif even extended to stationery and dinnerware created exclusively for the vessel. No wonder that as the yacht projects grew, so did his office, hiring young designers who went on to become masters in their own right: Andrew Winch, Terence Disdale, Donald Starkey, Tim Heywood, and others.

Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholarship recipients announced
April 21st, 2014 | SMWC
Intelligent, accomplished, curious, kind – all qualities that make exceptional candidates for the Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholarship, the most prestigious award at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC), named after the College's foundress. More than that, however, the winners have already taken steps in life to aspire higher and become effective leaders, proficient learners and valued contributors to the community. It is with these qualities in mind that seven students were chosen – two who will receive full-tuition scholarships and five who will received $17,000 scholarships, all renewable for four years.
To apply for the award, students submitted an essay on how they intend to embody the values of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, a letter of recommendation and participated in an interview with the selection committee on campus. Based on those elements along with other criteria such as academics, community involvement and extracurricular activities, the following accomplished young women were selected to receive the Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholarship:
Shannon Lueking, Carmel Ind., full-tuition award
With a passion for service, leadership and athletics, Shannon Lueking strives to become an independent woman who will change the world by serving those in need. Her involvement with a program called Special Sports, created to give children and adults with special needs the opportunity to play sports in a safe and supportive environment, prompted her to devote her life to helping those with special needs. She plans to major in psychology and states in her essay, "In my lifetime, I hope to encourage a more positive view of the disabled in society and provide these men and women with a sense of comfort with the community." Lueking, a senior at Cathedral High School, has also been active in extracurricular activities, serving as the head coach of her neighborhood swim team, and has participated in Guardian Angels, a program to send supplies to troops overseas.
Mary Carper, Indianapolis, Ind., full-tuition award
In her essay, Mary Carper stated quite honestly that she was not yet sure what her exact vocation would be in life, saying "I am currently trying to discern my vocation, though I recognize that God will not send me an answer overnight." While she related that she would most like to be a veterinarian or a Catholic school teacher, Carper mostly focused on her strengths and talents and how she intended to use those in whatever path God chose for her. Carper, a senior at Perry Meridian High School, is a member of the Archdiocesan Youth Council, a Vacation Bible Camp teacher, a Falcon Leadership Opportunities Through Service (FLOTS) mentor and a member of National Honors Society. Additionally, she has participated in two mission trips to New Mexico. Carper incorporates her Catholic faith into every aspect of her life and exemplifies many qualities of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Carper plans to major in pre-vet.
Shannon Sonderman, Jasper, Ind., $17,000 award
While Sonderman desires to become an elementary education teacher and soccer coach, her aspirations to impact children and her community reach well beyond those goals. In her freshmen year of high school, Sonderman initiated her own letter-writing campaign to encourage friends and family to donate to the campership fund of Camp Ondessonk in Ozark, Ill., to help offset the cost for children who couldn't afford summer camp. She has continued the annual campaign each year since and has enabled eight children to attend the summer camp. Her aspirations even reach overseas. A trip to Germany made her realize she wanted to study abroad and possibly teach abroad someday. Sonderman, a senior at Jasper High School, serves as a role model as a 4-H leader and active participant in youth ministry.
Mari Bennett, Terre Haute, Ind., $17,000 award
As a peer leader in the special needs program at her high school, Mari Bennett received affirmation that she was on the right path and making the right decision in her career goals. Bennett, who plans to earn a degree in counseling psychology and open her own practice, admires the strength and perseverance of the students she works with, students who struggle with physical and mental disabilities. Her experiences in the special needs program, along with other experiences in community service, have helped her develop a compassionate approach that will benefit her in her intended career. Bennett, a senior at Terre Haute South High School, states, "In my own practice, I will teach others to look past the limitations that the world has given them, and see each struggle as an opportunity to be a stronger and wiser individual."
Devyn Burns, Indianapolis, Ind., $17,000 award
For Devyn Burns, music therapy is not only her career goal but also a melding of her two passions: music and serving others. As a certified music therapist, Burns would like to work with children with autism. Within her church community, Burns has assisted with fundraising efforts to improve healthcare, water systems and schools in other countries, as well as helped with soup kitchens and home building. This summer, she plans to travel on an overseas mission trip to help build an orphanage. Burns, a senior at Pike High School, values diversity and hopes to help support underprivileged people in her life journey. She plans to use her experiences at SWMC to help her do just that, stating "I would love to bring the gift of music therapy and all that it entails to other countries that are not fortunate enough to have it as an option."
Sarah McDivitt, Marion, Ind., $17,000 award
A love for horses and a passion for helping children sparked Sarah McDivitt's interest in equine studies. McDivitt, a senior at Oak Hill High School, attributes most of what she has learned – perseverance, strength, patience, love, teamwork, self confidence, leadership – to the horses that have impacted her life. Her dream is to create a safe haven for foster children where they can grow and learn by interacting with horses. Her family's involvement with foster care showed her that there are many children in the world who can benefit emotionally from such a place. McDivitt states, "A child's mind is an amazing thing. It deserves to be nurtured and cared for. With the help of a horse I wish to do just that."
Bry'Chell Johnson, Chicago, Ill., $17,000 award
During her year living in Uganda, Bry'Chell Johnson's experiences prompted her to make teaching her career goal. While she re-evaluates her goals often, ultimately she hopes to inspire and encourage students to succeed and improve the world.
