SAINT LEO, Fla. – A trio of veteran leaders has been selected to captain the Saint Leo men's lacrosse team's eighth season, Head Coach Brad Jorgensen announced Thursday. On the cusp of the 2013 campaign, the Lions have selected three captains who display heart, dedication, and commitment to Saint Leo both on the field and in the classroom.
Senior Beau Besancenez, and juniors Robert Hutchinson and Matt Obermeyer have been given the nod to captain the Lions in 2013, providing veteran leadership both on and off the field.
Besancenez earns the nod after an impressive junior campaign in 2012. The St. Louis, Mo. native started all 14 contests for the Lions, and was a key component to the Lions' midfield unit. Besancenez was second on the team in ground balls with 49 on the season, and caused eight turnovers. An essential element in the midfield, Besancenez helped the Lions earn a .782 success rate on clears, and was an important member of the team in both on and off the field.
Hutchinson, who earned Deep South Conference Player of the Week (4/2/12) and Saint Leo Athlete of the Week (4/9/12) accolades last season, competed in all 14 contests for the Lions in 2012, starting eight. The Islip Terrace, N.Y. native scored eight goals and added five assists in his sophomore campaign, adding a team high 79 ground balls and earning a .557 faceoff percentage, winning 107-of-192 attempts. Hutchinson was a vital member of the Lions' midfield crew, a produced in all areas of the field.
Obermeyer earns the title of team captain after an already prolific two-year career with the Lions. In his sophomore campaign, the Winter Springs, Fla. native earned All-Deep South Conference First Team honors, was the DSC Offensive Player of the Week (3/19/12), earned Academic All-District First Team credit, and was the recipient of the Excellence Core Value Award. In 2012, Obermeyer led the team in goals scored with 38, and tacked on six assists for 44 points on the season, good for second best on the squad. Competing and starting in 13 games, Obermeyer set a new program record for goals in a season and goals per game in a season with 2.92. He added 19 ground balls and caused five turnovers on the season, and was indispensable to the Lions attack unit.

Rangers can't rally after Ogando's brief start
CHICAGO -- Rangers manager Ron Washington keeps saying that Alexi Ogando's fastball command has been off lately. The Rangers found out Thursday what happens when command of all his pitches are off.
Ogando, on another cold and wet day during this six-game road trip, turned in the third-shortest start of his career and the shortest by a Rangers starting pitcher this year. That's not going to work when the Rangers' offense is still struggling to score runs.
Ogando allowed five runs in just 2 1/3 innings as the Cubs thumped the Rangers, 6-2, at Wrigley Field. The Rangers finished the road trip with a 3-3 record -- plus one rainout -- and will open a three-game series against the Mariners on Friday at the Ballpark in Arlington.
"Ogando just didn't have it today," Washington said. "He was hanging his breaking ball and got his fastball up, and they didn't miss it. In other games he has been able to go to other pitches and then find his fastball. Today he couldn't find anything."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum noticed the same thing.
"It didn't even look like he had his good fastball today," Sveum said. "I don't even know if he threw a ball over 94 mph that I saw, and we all know he can get it to 98. Obviously he just looked a little out of whack, and I think we probably had a little bit to do with that. We were hitting his slider and laying off some of the fastballs that he was keeping down in the zone."
Ogando faced 14 batters and allowed six hits and two walks. He threw 71 pitches before Derek Lowe took over with one out in the third. Ogando is 2-1 and his ERA shot up from 1.08 to 3.32 after a club-high four starts.
"It was difficult to command my fastball, and that affected all my pitches," Ogando said. "This was by far the worst of all my outings. When I was trying to throw strikes, they took advantage of the pitches that were up."
Washington was glad the Rangers were able to play the game. It rained all morning in Chicago and there was widespread flooding all through the state. But the rain slackened off enough to get in nine innings and the gametime temperature was 58 degrees. The Rangers have played in worst conditions lately, but Ogando said he struggled with the mound conditions as well.
"On top of being out of control, that mound didn't really help being so wet," Ogando said.
Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva didn't let it bother him. He earned his first win by holding the Rangers to two runs on four hits and a walk through seven innings. He struck out six, and the Cubs turned three double plays behind him.
Villanueva made the big defensive play. After Nelson Cruz led off the second with a single, A.J. Pierzynski ripped a line drive back up the middle on a hit-and-run play. The Rangers should have had runners at the corners, but Villanueva snagged it and threw to first for the easy double play.
"It was just one of those days when things weren't meant to go our way," Pierzynski said. "There's no hanging our heads or time to feel sorry for ourselves. We've got to come back and be ready to go tomorrow."
The Rangers are hitting .209 with 17 runs scored in their last seven games. Both their runs came on home runs by Cruz and Ian Kinsler, and the Rangers did not have one batter come to the plate with a runner in scoring position. The Rangers also didn't have a runner left on base for the eighth time in club history.
"There are no excuses, but when you run into the cold [weather] spell we have lately, it makes it tough," Kinsler said. "We'd like to see some good weather when we get back home."
Ogando got through the first inning but ran into trouble when Nate Schierholtz doubled with one out in the second. He scored following singles by Welington Castillo and Luis Valbuena, although Ogando got out of that inning by striking out the next two hitters.
That was only a temporary reprieve. David DeJesus led off the third inning with a triple into the right-field corner and scored on a wild pitch while Starlin Castro drew a walk. Anthony Rizzo then was still able to crush a 2-1 fastball to deep right-center for a two-run home run.
"Ogando was just behind in the count to every guy it seemed," Pierzynski said. "It was just a bad day. He threw some pitches in the middle and they didn't miss."
Rizzo's shot was the first home run given up by Ogando this season. But he gave up a second one right away as Alfonso Soriano hit a 2-2 slider into the left-field bleachers.
That gave the Cubs a 5-0 lead. Ogando retired the next hitter on a grounder to second, but was then replaced by Lowe. This was only the eighth time in 34 career starts Ogando has failed to pitch at least five complete innings.

DENSE patches of fog could disrupt tomorrow (Thursday) morning's commute for many.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for fog, which is valid from 2am to 10am and fog patches are expected to form overnight onwards into early Thursday morning, becoming dense in places with visibility below 200 metres at times.
People are being warned of the potential for some difficult driving conditions and disruption to travel, particularly during the morning rush hour.
The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "Light winds and clear skies overnight and during Thursday morning will allow fog to form in places.
"Not everywhere in the yellow area will see fog, but where it forms it is likely to be dense at times, especially in low-lying areas. The fog will then slowly clear through the middle of the morning."

Dome and Helix Fossils
The Dome Fossil (Japanese: こうらのカセキ Carapace Fossil) and Helix Fossil (Japanese: かいのカセキ Shellfish Fossil) are Fossils which can be regenerated into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.
In the games
In the Generation I and III games, the Dome and Helix Fossils are Key Items found in Mt. Moon after defeating a Super Nerd. While both are present, players are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's Fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City.
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, they are no longer Key Items, being demoted to simply items. They can be found by mining in the Underground after obtaining the National Pokédex. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl. If brought to the Oreburgh Mining Museum, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found randomly by smashing rocks at the Ruins of Alph. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to SoulSilver while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to HeartGold. If brought to the Pewter Museum of Science, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.
In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, a Worker near the Ice Rock room of Twist Mountain hands out a random Fossil from previous generations, including the Dome and Helix Fossils, once per day. If brought to the Nacrene Museum, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.
Rocks purchased in Antique Shops of Black 2 and White 2's Join Avenue may contain Dome or Helix Fossils.
Both Dome and Helix Fossils can be found via Rock Smash in the Glittering Cave, but they are exclusive to Pokémon Y.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they can be found randomly through Rock Smash in different Mirage spots. However the Dome Fossil is exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix Fossil is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. They can be brought to the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City to regenerate them into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.

In the anime
In the main series
In the anime, Dome Fossils were first seen in Shell Shock!. They made up the structure of an island, and were revived into Kabuto in red moonlight, causing the whole island to collapse and sink.
A Dome Fossil made a cameo appearance in Ancient Family Matters! during a visual representation of Roark's love of Fossils in an argument with Byron.
In A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!, a Dome Fossil was first seen chasing Hawes, as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to Ash and his friends. It was later revealed that the Yamask in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move Psychic to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a Cofagrigus replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.
In Pokémon Origins
Helix and Dome Fossils briefly appeared in the Pokémon Origins episode File 2: Cubone, where they were shown being hogged by a Super Nerd at Mt. Moon.
In the TCG
Both Fossils appear on the artwork for the Mysterious Fossil card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the Fossil of a Kabutops, Kabuto's evolution, rather than of a Kabuto. The two Fossils were later split off into their own individual cards.

- Due to players repeatedly attempting to use the Helix Fossil in the first Pokémon Red and Blue run of Twitch Plays Pokémon (despite it having no effect), seeking divine guidance from the Helix Fossil has become a meme. When the Helix Fossil was restored into Omanyte, many fans called the Omanyte "Lord Helix".
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire when the language is set to French, before battle Brawly says, "J'ai découvert le secret de la vraie puissance en fixant un Nautile pendant des jours et des jours...", a reference to this meme.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great place and Mike was really nice! The appartment itself was very clean and I really liked that there were 2 seperate double beds. We had to share the bathroom and kitchen with 3 others, but this never caused any problems, since we could sign in for the bathroom each morning. The appartment is also almost next to a subway station, so you can easily travel all through Manhattan. Only downside of it that there was one window, but this could not be opened... Overall a great place for a good prize!
I Was in New York for one Week and I Was in this apartment. It's small badroom but really clean, very well equipped the kitchen, and really clean the restroom. Near to te subway, THE restorants too.
The room was really warm in comparison to the heavy cold weather outside. The bathroom and the kitchen was pretty clean. The neighborhood was safe and beautifull.
However our room was very very small and uncomfortable, it was never cleaned up and the towels were the same during the whole days of our stay. What is more, no only we never saw the owners of the appartment but also John (with whom we only spoke via viber/whats app) was not helpfull with some problems that we had.
My teenage daughter and I rented a room in january 2015. It was during wintertime so it was cold outside. The heater in the house works perfectly but it was a little bit too warm for us compared to the outside temperature. Opening the only openable window in the living room, or sleeping with the airconditioning on, helped a bit to reduce the heat.
The room is located at an ideal, central place in Lower Manhattan. The beds were fantastic to sleep on. Mike is a very friendly and hospitable man who gave us the feeling that his house was our house.
We spent a week staying in this apartment, good is more a study.
This centrally located, near the metro green line 6, quiet, the calefacion on all day and did not spend any q cold.
Cookware in poor condition (it appeared the pans nonstick), only the front door had a lock and gives a lot of insecurity, because the apartment is in the same street.
Maik host was very kind to let us be three hours more to leave our bags and go to the airport.
Hemos estado una semana alojados en este apartamento,bueno es mas un estudio.
Puntos a favor:
Esta céntrico,cerca del metro línea verde 6,lugar tranquilo,la calefacion encendida todo el día así q no pasamos nada de frío.
Puntos en contra:
Los utensilios de cocina en mal estado(cazuelas se desprendía el anti adherente),la puerta de entrada solo tenía una cerradura y da mucha inseguridad,ya que el apartamento esta en la misma calle.
El anfitrión Maik se porto muy bien al dejarnos estar 3 horas mas para poder dejar las maletas y ir al aeropuerto.
The apartment is comfortable and cozy, even when all the rooms are full there's no any problem with the use of the bathroom and kitchen. Apartment was cleaned everyday, all the peoples in the apartments follow the rules, that's make easier and convenient the stay. The location is awesome, there is a bunch of great restaurants nearby and there are 3 different train routes available just 3 blocks of distances. there's also a bunch of places nearby to buy NY city souvenirs, ATM's in every corner and the neighborhood is very safe. John is very kind and always try to help you with your stay. Definitely I would stay again for the next visits to NY, 100% recommended.
The apartment was very clean and neat, but too small for 4 people. There was no storage space for suitcases and little space for garment. A big advantage is that you can at any time can prepare a breakfast or a small meal and is not necessarily forced to look for a restaurant. We have very good people met in the apartment and it was a nice to each other. Since there is no window, it can sometimes be, because of the weather, come to surprises.
Das Appartement war sehr sauber und gepflegt, aber für 4 Personen zu klein. Es gab keine Abstellfläche für Koffer und auch wenig Platz für Gewand. Ein großer Vorteil ist, dass man sich jederzeit ein Frühstück oder eine kleine Mahlzeit zubereiten kann und nicht unbedingt gezwungen ist, sich ein Restaurant zu suchen. Wir haben sehr liebe Leute in dem Appartement kennengelernt und es war ein nettes miteinander. Da es kein Fenster gibt, kann es manchmal, wegen des Wetters, zu Überraschungen kommen.
NYC is always fantastic, the apartment was however not. It was either freezing cold or very warm. It wasn't possible to adjust the heat. 2 out of 6 days there was no hot water at all. No hot water = no shower! Several of the wals was not painted and the sofa was compleatly warren out. Full of holes. The entertains and stears is very dirty and the backyard is best described as slum, with thousands of smoked cigarettes laying among other waste. The worst was however all the bird droppings on old air-conditions hanging from the windows in the backyard . We are talking of years without cleaning. 40 ~ 60 cm high "mountains" of bird droppings. And then on top of that the apartment is approx. 50 meters from Manhattan brigde, with a train passing every 2 minutes, 24/7. You can not belive the noise! Manhattan John (Mike) is a nice guy, but this apartment should newer have been rented out to tourists.
Apartment very well located. Friendly neighborhood. Too bad I have not seen the owner. The shower should be reviewed ...
Appartement très bien situé. Quartier sympathique. Dommage que je n'ai pas vu le propriétaire. La douche serait à revoir...
John is a very accommodating host. It is difficult toilet him, understandably, as he is like other New Yorkers, a very busy man.
However, he has a system in place that works. I stayed in this flat for 10 days while looking for jobs, and had many neighbours coming and going without any problems.
The location is a 10/10. Cleanliness 9/10 decor 8/10.. Overall a great bargain for your money.
3 problems I had:
1- Never send mail, wish I knew, but it's really difficult to retrieve mail.
2- Too many people using the shower in the morning. Wake up early. (4-8 ppl)
3-Maintanance needed to be done on the bathroom, but john changed the date for that till after check out.
Overall, I'd stay there again, it was a good experience.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 4.25.13
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed where I think I might have rustled up a new client for Beyonce's publicist. We honestly debated on whether that was a hand, scat porn or simply Pink's penis, and around here Occam's razor almost always dictates penis. It's science. We've also got Demi Moore & Cher's collective 158 years of natural grace and beauty as well as clear evidence that the restriction of the Hammbone is literally draining Jon Hamm's life force.

How Alabama and Ole Miss met in the 1964 Sugar BowlSeven Sugar Bowls had been played since the segregation issue had encased the Mid-Winter Sports Association in an insular, provincial cocoon. Almost miraculously, the damage was minimal because 1) Many Southern schools followed similar policy and law, and the Southeastern Conference was then the finest collegiate football league in America, and 2) Sheer good fortune. The situation was bound to change.
The segregation obstacle began to dissolve, although few realized it, in June of 1963 when a suit seeking integration of seating arrangements and other facilities' at New Orleans' Municipal Auditorium was taken under advisement by a special three-judge federal court. Horace Bynum, vice-president of the New Orleans chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, filed the suit after the city denied it use of the building for a 1962 rally featuring such speakers as Thurgood Marshall.
According to Assistant City Attorney Ernest Salatich, closed meetings and religious assemblies could be held on a desegregated basis. Open meetings were segregated under Louisiana law. The court was asked to declare unconstitutional the state's statute requiring segregation at entertainment and athletic events.
It would take time for the court to reach a decision, but on the football front things were unraveling. In 1964, the Sugar Bowl wanted Navy and Mississippi. Roger Staubach had transformed Navy from an Eastern also-ran into a glamorous, exciting and undefeated football team. Whether the segregation issue would have been an insurmountable barrier will never be known because No. 2-ranked Navy only had eyes for Dallas, where No. 1-ranked Texas was scheduled for a New Year's bout.
Other than Texas, the Southwest Conference did not have a strong team; there was not one in the Atlantic Coast Conference; and because of the conference contract with the Orange Bowl, the Big Eight runner-up was not allowed to play in another bowl.
The third and only alternative was an all-SEC game between Mississippi and the winner of the Alabama-Auburn game. It looked feasible because this year - unlike the previous - Ole Miss was the higher ranked team. Bryant, with two strong teams left to play, wanted a no-strings attached invitation. He received one from the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston and tried to use it as a lever with the Orange Bowl. Miami, who could use backups in Pitt, Syracuse and Penn State, wouldn't bite.
When the Sugar Bowl tested the waters, Bryant laid it on the line: Either he would get a no-strings invitation, or he would accept the bid from the Bluebonnet Bowl. Auburn appeared willing to wait, but the Plainsmen seemed a longer shot than the Tide. Bryant got his invitation on his terms. Auburn accepted an Orange Bowl bid. So for the first time, when Auburn and Alabama met, two teams already committed to rival New Year's Day bowls met in the regular season. Auburn won 10-8.
This would be Alabama's 17th bowl game, pushing it ahead of Georgia Tech as the all-time bowl entrant.
Despite a season-ending 10-10 tie with Mississippi State, seventh-ranked and unbeaten (7-0-2) Mississippi appeared as formidable as ever to Bryant.
Eighth-ranked Alabama and the Rebels hadn't played since 1944. The Crimson Tide hadn't been an underdog since 1960, but Ole Miss opened a 7-1/2 point favorite.
Joe Namath, a young quarterback whose rubber-band right arm had the South buzzing, directed the Tide offense. Then in early December, Namath was suspended for the remainder of the season (including the Sugar Bowl), because of a team infraction. The Sugar was turning sour.
Bryant couldn't have known it but his first recruiting trip in 1936, as an Alabama assistant would play a role in the 1964 Sugar Bowl. He signed Alvin Davis from Arkansas, who later became a prep coach in Tifton, Ga. His son Tim was a quarterback but suffered a leg injury. Tim remembered his dad said, "Son, there's no reason you can't be a college kicker. But be sure to go to a school that always has a strong line." At first, Tim's knee didn't respond, but "...my dad kept Coach Bryant informed on my progress and he stuck with me." When the time came to choose a college, Tim chose Alabama over Georgia Tech. "Coach Bryant's colorful personality swung me," he said. Thus, Alabama acquired a talented athlete who was to determine the 1964 Sugar Bowl.
Nothing matched the snowfall of New Year's Eve, 1963. More than three inches fluttered down on New Orleans, the most snow in the city since 1895. A crew of 25 workers from the police department's House of Detention worked with Tulane Stadium Superintendent Nolan Chaix until midnight clearing the tarpaulin and the seats. The crew was brought back at 5 a.m. "It looked pretty hopeless," said Chaix. "We just weren't prepared to cope with anything like we got Tuesday. The snow was still coming down when we started about 3 p.m. (Tuesday), but we had to go to work."
It seemed much more hopeless to Bryant. Alabama had given up more points (88) and more yardage (216.5 yards per game) and had been victimized with more long-scoring plays than any team Bryant coached since 1958.
"This is not the best time for us to be catching Mississippi," assessed the Bear. "They come at you in a big wave, all of them. And if we can't block Miami, and we didn't, how in the world can we block Ole Miss?" Reflecting, he added, "I remember a time like this - in 1958. We'd scratch and quick kick...and we won games we had no right winning."
Story excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

I am making a program on a windows 8 tablet that I want to continue to run even while the computer is in sleeping mode.
My python program is running in a loop with a 1 second wait at the bottom which it does stuff above. I want the script to continue running even when I have put the computer's mode to sleep. Currently, as soon as I do this it pauses than if I wait a few minutes and wake it, it resumes where it left off.
Help would be appreciated. If you want me to explain further that is cool just ask.

As we've become busier in our lives, and our work on the farm and at Beekman 1802 Mercantile has kept us more "sedentary," we rarely have time for long-distance road trips. So when we do, we take the time to indulge.
It's like our own version of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We are shamelessly attracted to mom-and-pop roadside culinary adventures. And if there's authentic neon signs involved, we can't pass it up.
On our road trip to North Carolina we happened upon Wright's Dairy Rite as we were passing through Staunton, VA. It was your standard drive-thru fair: hamburgers, hotdogs and an assortment of other salty and fried deliciousness.
And there was a dessert on the menu that we simply could not pass up. The name was just too enticing: Wright's Wheelie.
It turned out to be an ice cream sundae served over a warm, glazed doughnut.
Decadent, sinful, and perfect fuel for the remainder of the road trip.
What's your favorite road trip indulgence?

Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience
Buy DVD iTunes Download Netflix
Operation Homecoming, an Academy Award nominated documentary, explores the firsthand accounts of American troops through their written words, and offers a profound window into the human side of the war that was being fought in Iraq.
The film evolved out of a National Endowment for the Arts project that gathered the writing of soldiers and their families who have participated in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Interviews and dramatic readings by such actors as Robert Duvall, Josh Lucas, Beau Bridges, Blair Underwood, Justin Kirk, Aaron Eckhart, Chris Gorham and John Krasinski, transform selections from this collection of writing into a deep examination of the experiences of the men and women who are serving in America's armed forces. At the same time the film provides depth and context to these experiences through a broader look at the universal themes of war literature.
The writing in Operation Homecoming covers the full spectrum – poetry, fiction, memoir, letters, journals, and essays. The stories recounted here are sad, funny, violent, and uplifting. Yet each one displays an honesty and intensity that is rarely seen in explorations of war. Operation homecoming aired on PBS, and a feature length version was released theatrically.
The television version of Operation Homecoming was first broadcast nationally as part of PBS's America at a Crossroads series on April 16, 2007. A theatrical version has been screened at festivals and in theaters across the country. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary in 2007.
- The NEA's Operation Homecoming initiative has collected more than sixteen hundred pieces of writing from service members and their families. The film takes a handful of this writing and brings the soldiers' words to the screen using a variety of innovative filmmaking techniques that push the boundaries of traditional documentary. Some stories are told through archival news images of the war. Several use striking visual collages to accompany the words of a poem. A few move even farther a field using illustration or animated still photographs. In all cases the storytelling remains rooted in a reading of the writer's original words.
Beyond these written words, the film finds a deeper understanding the experiences through interviews with the writers, now returned from the war zone but struggling to find meaning in the incredible extremes they lived through, as well as veterans of other conflicts who have become valuable contributors to the literature of war. Through conversations with established writers like Tim O'Brien, Tobias Wolff, or James Salter, the film reveals that these are universal experiences for men and women in combat.
At the core of the writing in Operation Homecoming is an intense desire by all those who have served in war to come to terms with the experience. Throughout the film the soldiers, young and old, express a profound hope that people will listen to their stories and try to understand what the soldiers have witnessed. As with all of the great war writers, stretching back to The Iliad, the soldier-writers of Operation Homecoming are trying to find meaning in the chaos and brutality. The film is a deeply humanizing look at those who suffer the de-humanization of war.
The film was made possible through the generous support of The Boeing Company, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the Independent Television Service. The published anthology of writing from the NEA's Operation Homecoming was edited by historian Andrew Carroll and published by Random House. The film was made possible through the generous support of The Boeing Company, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the Independent Television Service.

forthosewhotoil76 wrote:Thanks for the insight Jason. I know too much pressure can be the enemy, and that is probably one of the factors throwing off my game. If I'm interpreting your advice correctly, you're suggesting that an excessively large burr, once broken off/removed, will lead to a dull edge that won't necessarily be improved by progressing to a higher grit stone. I have heard others suggest that the objective is to generate as little burr as possible while still establishing bevels. Back in the day when I was experimenting with the Edge Pro, I remember reading (Maybe via Steve Bottorff of "sharpening made easy"), that it was possible, with practice/feel, to cease honing immediately before the burr actually forms, but just as the bevels meet to form the ideal edge. Always been impressed with the concept, but have yet to obtain that result.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2013 (1465 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While the Winnipeg Blue Bombers took a step in the right direction on Sunday with the dismissal of offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton, now is the time for prudence and to temper expectations as the offence transitions.
While I would dare say Marcel Bellefeuille has forgotten more about CFL offences than Gary Crowton learned during his time in Canada, and I expect to see the full potential of this roster unleashed in his system, it is not going to happen overnight.
The Bombers opened training camp on June 2 and they had 25 days to rep their "new" offence before their first regular-season game on June 27, not to mention a five-day mini-camp in the spring, and the fact it was the second-year Gary Crowton as the co-ordinator. Marcel Bellefeuille has six days to implement his system, and he has 41/2-hour days -- not 12-hour days like in training camp -- to do it in. Granted he only has to score more than 11 points against his old team to make an immediate improvement over his predecessor, but Rome was not built in a day, and neither is offensive competency.
Every football system has its own language. It might be the exact same play, but no two offensive co-ordinators call it the same thing, and good luck getting one of them to adopt to the other's language. Audibles, protections, hot routes, two-minute drills, short yardage, and all the run and passing plays have their own unique terminology and it takes time to learn it. Coach Bellefeuille may have time to introduce the fundamentals of his offensive scheme by Saturday, but any repetition and complexity will be a long ways off.
Furthermore, the best schemes I've been a part of were the ones where the co-ordinators studied their rosters and tweaked their schemes to match their personnel. After spending countless hours evaluating the talent at their disposal, not only do they alter their game plans to suit their resources, but shuffle their assets around so they are in ideal positions for maximum benefit.
Coach Bellefeuille may be a quick learner but he only arrived a week ago. If he knows the names of everybody on his side of the ball, let alone where he should distribute them for full effect, he is already way ahead of what can be expected.
While, like many people, I'd never previously heard of a head coach completely deferring to his assistants for the selection of who should start at quarterback, this might actually be the first week where I would go that route. If Marcel has done anything in the short time he has been in Winnipeg, I would suspect he has been learning more about the most important tools in his offence -- the quarterbacks.
Since he has an abbreviated time in which to implement his system, it would make sense he be given the green light to decide which pivot, at least for now, should be at the helm.
Not only does Bellefeuille need the sharpest tool in the toolbox, he needs the one who is willing to put in eight-hour days -- outside of union-mandated rules -- until game day. In my estimation, Goltz is both the most adaptable and athletic -- which might come in handy with an abbreviated playbook -- but Buck has the most experience and is the only true veteran, so I would expect Bellefeuille to have either of those two start for him initially.
While the deck may be stacked against this offence for Saturday, and may be even simpler than what fans have gotten used to of late, this is yet another step to returning this football club to respectability, sooner rather than later.
By the end of the 2013 football season, we should have a good idea of not only what Marcel Bellefeuille brings to the table conceptually, but what the true potential of the players on this offence really is.

Multi-tasking with multi-screens
June 07, 2012
As the digital revolution continues, it appears that so does our love and need for gadgets. So much in fact, that we don't only want the latest devices but we also want to use them all at the same time. Whilst in the past we may have been content just watching the TV, increasingly people are finding themselves also sitting there with a smartphone in their hand chatting to their friends online or gazing at sites on their tablet – and, more often than not, all three at once.
This is what a recent Multi-Screen Marketer report from Econsultancy (@Econsultancy) found, with over half of the respondents answering that they were either somewhat or very likely to be using another device when watching TV. Interestingly, this rises with every screen added to the mix, with 65% of those with four devices saying that multi-device use is the norm while watching TV.
Increasingly consumers are finding themselves multi-tasking with multi-screens whether it's in front of the TV, on a PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone or any other device – and brands need to recognise that the way consumers engage with products has changed.
The multi-screen trend has been around for years now and is gaining pace with the recent launch of Xbox SmartGlass among other devices. With more and more new products being created, the number of devices people own is picking up and is only expected to increase as more models come in to the market.
The culture is changing and as the demand for instant information, communication and gamification continues to rise, brands need to make sure they are listening to stay ahead of the curve. In the future, multiple screens will be the norm.

Full disclosure: I used to work the line at one of Eastern Standard's sister restaurants. Once, at the end of a long dinner service, a serving of Butterscotch Bread Pudding from ES appeared in our kitchen. I didn't know how or why, but I didn't question it. At that time of night, it was an absolute delight to eat something (anything!) that I hadn't spent the last ten hours cooking for other people. And that bread pudding tasted like a dream.
I know I come to this dessert with some bias, but there's a reason that the Butterscotch Bread Pudding ($8) has kept a spot on the dessert menu since the restaurant opened.
Making it is a three-day process. Brioche bread is cubed and staled, then left to soak in a velvety custard ribboned with the namesake butterscotch chips. Before baking, the pastry chefs give the pudding a flip. It's a simple trick, but it means that the brioche soaks up every single drop of custard. The dessert turns out incredibly dense and consistent, without any dry or soggy areas. Each portion is served warm, topped with a scoop of praline ice cream and caramel sauce—both of which are made in-house. The caramel is salty, and the praline ice cream has toasty notes of almond and hazelnut big enough to rein in the sweetness of the butterscotch. It's a delicate balancing act, but one that Eastern Standard pulls off flawlessly. On the line or in the dining room, this is an excellent rendition of a classic that's entirely deserving of its cult following.

Raise the roof, Yeezus returns to the building! The always sensational rap mastermind KANYE WEST is here to showcase the video for his single "Bound 2," which features his stunning and curvalicious wife Kim Kardashian. After a year that included a baby girl (North!), a marriage, a new album and worldwide tour, the hip-hop all-star brings the power and flashing lights to Ellen's set, where he will give it to her as he always does: major! He'll undoubtedly arrive in customized style. The rapper has moved mountains since his early days as a young man in pursuit of divinity on "The College Dropout," to a fierce leader presiding over his kingdom with his latest works, "Yeezus" and "Watch the Throne," an album in partnership with Jay-Z. See what he's got for Ellen when he comes through again!
Next, she's starred in movies like "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "Pitch Perfect," and shows like "30 Rock" and "Modern Family," but the world knows her best as Effie Trinket in "The Hunger Games"! ELIZABETH BANKS is here to tell Ellen the inside scoop on the second installment of the blockbuster series, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"!
Then, he's handsome, charming and he definitely has the X factor! Hunky TV host MARIO LOPEZ is in the studio to discuss the "X-Factor" with Ellen. They may have a knack for finding talent, but Mario has a knack for taking his clothes off whenever he's here! The sparks and the shirts will fly!
Also, two of Ellen's favorite musicians are going to perform their chart-topping duet. JASON MRAZ and TRAVIE McCOY will sing their hit song "Rough Water" today!
Plus, Ellen's got a special guest DJ, the hilarious LONI LOVE!
You're going to love this Tuesday on Ellen.

Talib wrote:Wouldn't context help greatly in differentiating homophones?
Absolutely. When people speak they can't see what's being said but can understand easily.
Talib wrote:What about the Japanese pitch accent? If that were marked (can't be difficult to think up a diacritic, if one doesn't exist already) then it would be helpful as well.
Only about 20% of Japanese words have pitch accent.
Talib wrote:What proportion of words have homophones, exactly?
Not sure, but I'd guess that most Sino-Japanese words have homophones.
Talib wrote:What is the origin of all these homophones in Japanese? Is it the restrictive phonology, Chinese influence or both/something else?
The homophones are found overwhelmingly in Sino-Japanese vocabulary because the Chinese language is morphologically monosyllabic. If you study Chinese you'll encounter the same issue of homophones but Chinese has the lexical tone which neither Korean nor Japanese have.

Purity of design and fascinating effect are not mutually exclusive pursuits. While clothes are reduced to their essential form and function, this detracts nothing from their captivating quality. In fact, each season offers a new opportunity to develop an original, yet understated, fashion quest for the contemporary woman.
For spring, the focus was on sharp cutting and architectural pleating, manipulated to create subtle, yet arresting, volumes on clothing. In crisp cottons, none of the exploration in silhouette is too radical to ingest. Rather, soft touches, like the hips on a dress lightly tucking out, or cylindrical jacket sleeves cut asymmetrically front to back, bring a new dynamic quality to the spring wardrobe.SHOP THE STORY
Silhouettes on dresses, tops and coats are fitted and yet stand away from the body at the same time. Using quick darts and light fabrics, an accessible three dimensionality arises. At the same time, flat surfaces have also evolved, like the new angles cut out of high neck swing tops, offering subtle updates to classic shapes. In every piece, interest and depth has been brought to the clothes in a clever way.

NVIDIA Consolidates Game Streaming Tech Under GameStream Brand; Announces Shield Console Modeby Ryan Smith on 10/18/2013 1:24 PM EST

pancakes - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkShield + USB hub + ethernet adapter + Xbox 360 controller = Good times for all? Reply
A5 - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkSounds expensive. Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkWhy settle for a compressed 1080p stream without surround sound? Just run HDMI over ethernet to your TV/AVR and mirror your display (assuming you have a 1080p display) from the PC. Then grab a 360 controller PC adapter and get it as close as possible to the room (360 controller range is about 30ft, get a powered hub if necessary). Pretty easy and cheap, no NVIDIA hardware restriction. A wireless mouse and keyboard can be done the same way... Reply
A5 - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkMeh. If people were going to do that, they would have by now. For me, my gaming PC is way too far away from my TV to make something like this practical. Reply
A5 - Friday, October 18, 2013 - link*this being your solution, not the streaming thing.
That said, I'd rather get a Steambox streamer than a Shield. Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkDifferent strokes for different folks... ;-) Reply
SetiroN - Friday, October 18, 2013 - link^ this
Playing with latency is laughable, if you want to play on your TV or projector, there have been ways for ages.
If you're only going to do it now that streaming techniques are available, you might as well get a console because you're not really interested in proper gaming. Reply
SlyNine - Sunday, October 20, 2013 - linkDepends on how much latency. We will have to wait and see. If its 10ms that's totally acceptable for the kinds of games you'll be playing on your couch with a controller. Surely you don't think this is meant for hardcore fps and competitive gaming. This is for skyrim and tomb raider. Reply
nevertell - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkThey're going to be doing some uart magick, as regular usb2.0 won't be fast enough for 1080p.
What was the name of the short-distance, ultra-fast wireless standard ? Because we need that for streaming. WiGig.
And we'd be far better off having h.264/h.265 decoders in the display devices rather than having them in some sort of middleware of a controller. Reply
SlyNine - Sunday, October 20, 2013 - linkBlu-ray movies are only around 6 MB/s (48Mb/s) at 24fps; 24fps *2.5=60fps so 48mb/s*2.5=120mb/s. USB 2.0 is 60MB/s (480Mb/s) Plenty for 4 1080 streams at 60 fps.
Assuming consumer grade hardware will be less efficient I'd say there is at least room for one 1080@60 there. Reply
Jumangi - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkSo the future of PC gaming from AMD or Nvidia is proprietary tech to lock users into their hardware. Against the very core nature of what PC gaming has been about from the beginning. We have console for people who want that. I'm sick of Valve, AMD and now Nvidia wanting to do the same to the PC. Screw all their junk. Reply
MrSpadge - Saturday, October 19, 2013 - linkWell.. they're trying to differentiate more. Apart from proprietary technologies there's little reason to choose either for pure gaming. Not saying this is a good idea, but if any of this would make it into widely adopted open standards everybody wins. So let them try to figure out first what works well and what doesn't. Or let us figure out what's worth our money and what's not. Reply
polaco - Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - linkas I understood this looks like a more open and standard solution since just depends that you have a device that has wireless display capabilities:
however the article is quite sparse and you will have to investigate further. I wonder why AMD does not presents things in an easier way to end user. Their technology is way better than their marketing department. Reply
chizow - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkIf they can ever get to the point I can stream from:
PC > Remote Cloud > Shield
I'd be sold. I will probably wait for 1 hardware iteration before I jump in on Shield though. Bigger screen, refined form factor, faster Tegra SoC, 802.11 AC and I think I'd be ready to dive in. Reply
polaco - Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - linkHasn't this http://community.amd.com/community/amd-blogs/amd/b... + a wireless controller much more sense than using the NVidia solution?
Just in case your pc does not support it, a miracast dongle costs 30bucks... Reply

ASU Center becomes a resource to teach service
December 26, 2012 by in Business News | Education | Workforce
Customer service was once viewed as the cost of doing business. "Across almost every industry, leaders are focusing on service as a way to compete in today's competitive marketplace," says Mary Jo Bitner, academic director for the Center for Services Leadership at Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business. But times have changed.… Read More →
