David Warner's century and Mitchell Johnson's seven-wicket haul put Australia in complete control after day three of the first Test against South Africa at Centurion.
Johnson (seven for 68), man-of-the-series in Australia's 5-0 Ashes whitewash over England this winter, had already done plenty of damage on Thursday to the world number one Test team's batting line-up.
And the left-armer took three more wickets on Friday morning to go past former Test captain Richie Benaud to a career tally of 249 and seventh in Australia's all-time list as the hosts were bowled out for 206 to trail by 191 in the first innings.
Warner (115), Australia's top run-scorer against England, was soon at it again as the tourists increased their overall advantage to 479 by stumps.
The left-hander contributed his sixth Test hundred, sharing a double-century second-wicket stand with debutant number three Alex Doolan (89).
South Africa had earlier managed to add 66 runs for their last four wickets, thanks largely to AB de Villiers' 91.
Only the wicketkeeper-batsman could handle Johnson for long, resisting for 148 balls and hitting 10 fours and two sixes.
Eventually even he fell to the rampant fast bowler but in contrasting fashion to his team-mates - ninth out, just failing to clear mid-off rather than being bounced or bowled out.
Australia's second innings got off to a bad start in a short session just before lunch when opener Chris Rogers chopped Dale Steyn's first delivery down on to his stumps in the second over.
But Warner and Doolan then began to put Australia out of sight.
Warner was dropped twice in the 20s, once by substitute fielder Dean Elgar running in from long-leg from a faulty pull at Vernon Philander, and then head-high at slip by Alviro Petersen off Morne Morkel.
Captain Graeme Smith was also unable to hold on to another tough chance to see off Warner, who profited to reach his 118-ball hundred when he hit his 13th four to go with two sixes.
By then Doolan, after an especially watchful start, also had a maiden Test 50.
Warner eventually departed via a sharp edge off slow left-armer Robin Peterson to Smith at slip, and 28-year-old Tasmanian Doolan fell short of a hundred on debut when he nicked a short one behind trying to cut part-time off-spinner JP Duminy.
But first-innings centurion Shaun Marsh and captain Michael Clarke helped Australia to 288 for three at stumps, and South Africa are therefore sure to be set a mammoth target.

Satechi Cortana Button tear down
There's not much to say about this generic Bluetooth-enabled keyboard key blaster.
I did enjoy discovering it's just a re-skinned and reconfigured Satechi Siri Button. (But that's totally reasonable.)
I haven't explored the UART interface yet; it would be nice to reconfigure the device to send keys of my choosing.

Arroyo takes no-hit bid into seventh
White Sox prospect surrenders two runs, improves to 11-4
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | August 5, 2012 5:57 PM ET
On Sunday, the short-term goals he's been setting to achieve long-term success yielded immediate dividends.
Arroyo carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before allowing three runs on three hits as the Double-A Birmingham Barons beat the Mobile BayBears, 8-4.
"I thought it went really well. [Catcher] Damaso Espino and I were on the same page again and the guys were making plays behind me," said Arroyo, who had never before gone so deep into a game without allowing a hit.
"I've made some big adjustments with my pitching coaches, like staying tall with my legs, driving the ball down in the zone and staying inside the ball. This game is all about consistency and how many times you can repeat your pitch or your delivery."
The 23-year-old set down the side in order in the first inning. He gave up a walk to Matt Davidson to lead off the second, but worked out of the frame unscathed.
After perfect third and fourth innings, Davidson worked another free pass to begin the fifth. But Arroyo retired the next six batters he faced to carry the no-hit bid into the seventh.
"I was trying not to think about it too much," he said. "But after the fifth, I realized it had been five innings and nothing was going on. We were scoring on offense so it was easy to relax. I was just trying to get us back to the dugout.
"Things in the dugout were the same. I sat in the same spot and guys were still sitting next to me. Everybody was more superstitious than I was. They were just trying to do the same things."
Alfredo Marte broke up the no-hitter with a clean single to left field in the seventh, and Matt Davidson and Brent Clevlen followed with singles to end the shutout. A one-out wild pitch plated a third run, but the left-hander set down David Nick and Ed Easley to complete his night.
"I was just trying to get a ground-ball double play," Arroyo said of the first hit. "Marte got a good piece of it and hit it into the outfield. I wanted to go down and away, but he squared it up. They're a good hitting team and I was facing the heart of their order.
"Hitting is contagious, as they say. Once they got the first hit, they wanted to get a couple more. But I was able to get out of the inning having only given up three runs."
Arroyo, who threw 59 of 102 pitches for strikes, lowered his ERA to 3.00 in the outing.
Matt Wickswat allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over two innings in the triumph.
Selected by the Phillies in the 31st round of the 2008 Draft out of Modesto Junior College, Arroyo went 2-6 between Philadelphia's Gulf Coast League affiliate and short-season Wilmington in his first two years in pro ball. The Chicago White Sox then signed Arroyo as a free agent in 2010.
He went 10-9 with a 3.70 ERA in 28 games with Class A Kannapolis last year, and he was 5-3 with a 4.33 mark in 14 games with Class A Advanced Winston-Salem in the first three months of 2012 prior to his promotion to the Southern League.
Across the two levels. he's a combined 11-4 with 85 strikeouts over 126 1/3 innings.
Brett Lorin (3-7) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks over 1 1/3 innings.

Gallardo strong, homers as Crew sweeps Giants
MILWAUKEE -- Amid a dreadful week off the field, Yovani Gallardo returned Thursday to the calm of the mound and, as it turned out, the comfort of the batter's box.
Back to work two days after he was cited for drunken driving, Gallardo pitched and slugged the Brewers to a 7-2 win over the Giants that completed a three-game sweep. He worked six quality innings, belted one of the Brewers' trio of two-run home runs off Giants ace Matt Cain and admitted afterward that this particular mid-April outing carried more import than most.
"I don't want to say I approached the game different, but with something like that, you have to go out there and prove that you're capable of getting over it," Gallardo said. "Go out there and focus. From here on out, that's the main thing -- go out there and win ballgames for the team."
He succeeded at that for the first time this season, homering along with Ryan Braun and Jonathan Lucroy for the Brewers' fourth straight win. Milwaukee had not swept the Giants since taking three straight at AT&T Park in July 2008.
What a change from just four days earlier, when the Brewers were 2-8, riding a club-record scoreless streak and were three innings shy of being swept in St. Louis without scoring a run. Braun sparked a come-from-behind victory that afternoon, and the Brewers have not lost since, out-scoring, out-pitching and generally outplaying the reigning World Champions.
"Anytime you play that well in a series against a really good ballclub, it should build up a lot of confidence in what we're doing," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Offensively, a really good series. Pitching, we really threw the ball well. Our bullpen threw the ball well. Some huge pluses in this series."
Until Thursday, the only one not enjoying the winning streak had been Gallardo, who was arrested in the wee hours of Tuesday after driving his black Ford F-150 erratically right past Miller Park. He apologized the next afternoon, and spent Tuesday and Wednesday having individual conversations about the incident with teammates, some of whom, Gallardo insinuated, were open about their disappointment.
On Thursday morning, Gallardo said, he "definitely" worried about the reaction he'd get from fans at Miller Park.
"It's a big deal. It's something serious," he said. "I apologize. I'm going to do everything possible, everything I have to do, so something like that won't ever happen again."
Said Lucroy, his catcher: "I could tell in the bullpen there was something different about him today."
By the time Gallardo threw his first pitch, the Brewers were behind their Opening Day starter, who announced his return to the mound by striking out Hunter Pence to end a scoreless first inning. It was the first of his six strikeouts, a modest season high, and propelled Gallardo to his first victory after he went 0-1 with a 6.61 ERA in his first three starts.
He went "harder" than usual, Roenicke observed, and an elevated pitch count kept Gallardo from working past the sixth. He allowed one Giants run on five hits and a walk, the only damage coming on Brandon Belt's fourth-inning sacrifice fly after the Brewers had built a seven-run lead.
The Brewers played home run derby in the early innings against Cain, who has started four games and seen the Giants lose all of them. Previously slumping left fielder Braun hit a flat slider for a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning, Gallardo turned on an inside fastball for a two-run homer in the second and Lucroy hit a hanging curveball for a two-run homer in the third.
Surging Brewers first baseman Yuniesky Betancourt also drove in a run along the way, leaving Cain in a seven-run hole after three innings. He managed to get the Giants through the sixth, but he still finished with an ugly pitching line: Six innings, seven hits, seven earned runs, no walks and four strikeouts. Cain's ERA rose to 7.15.
"We had a hard time keeping the ball in the ballpark this series," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "I will say, he gave us a nice effort. He regrouped and made a nice adjustment and pitched great the last three innings. When you have three two-run homers, it's hard to overcome."
"It didn't really matter what it was in those three innings, everything was coming back to the middle," Cain said. "It's just not really repeating the delivery and being consistent in making pitches. I have to find a way to do a better job of that. I've got to kind of keep taking small steps and doing the right things."
Cain owns a pair of World Series rings, but Gallardo has owned the head-to-head matchup. The two right-handers have squared off four times now, with Gallardo winning three and pitching to a 1.63 ERA vs. Cain's 6.58.
Gallardo's next start is scheduled for Tuesday in San Diego, and he said he would feel the same pressure to perform he was feeling Thursday. That feeling might linger all season, he said.
"The No. 1 thing I have to worry about now is going out there, staying focused to pitch and win some games," Gallardo said.

It has been my intention to focus on a class issue on this blog for awhile now. Last night I was in a conversation with a girlfriend of mine, and we ended up discussing motherhood. She has recently experienced a change in her class location and as such, how people perceive her as a mother has changed. You may be thinking what does motherhood have to do with class? I contend that there is a direct relation to how motherhood is understood based specifically in class.
In Ontario a woman living alone with a child earns just under 900 dollars a month on welfare. The average rent for a one bedroom apartment is 800 dollars. It will of course be supplemented by the 100 dollar a month universal child care benefit, and a further 200 dollars a month in child tax benefit. I am sure that you quickly did the math, and have realized that this does not leave very much for food, clothing, and utilities. A family can only access a food bank once a month, and they must provide birth certificates for every single member of the family to receive aid. The entire process of being on social assistance is a demeaning one. Single mothers that are dependent on the system are characterized as lazy, irresponsible women. While we do have a social safety net that prevents complete starvation, they are constantly demonized by people who bemoan the tax dollars that are spent supporting single mothers, and their children. Their very right to motherhood is challenged specifically on the basis of class. That they might raise children who go on to add great value to our society is discounted, as Canadians do not want to take on the financial burden of supporting them. In this case motherhood is seen as a privilege, and not the right of every woman capable of conceiving.
It would seem then that all one needs to qualify to be considered a good mother is to have a good job, that is able to provide for all of the subsistence needs of the family. That would be a wrong assumption. Middle class working moms are also penalized for motherhood. They are constantly made to feel guilty for "choosing" to work. They are told that they are neglecting their obligations by placing their children in daycare. When you have a child you should raise them, and not yield that responsibility to someone else. Apparently you cannot have it all, and this mantra is repeated consistently by the media, and parroted in the social discourse. Working mothers are slower to move up in companies, and are constantly trying to juggle the responsibilities of home, and the workplace. They are continually accused of not taking their work seriously enough when they request time off to deal with family concerns. Working mothers also have the added joy of the "double day".
Well the last model of motherhood must have it down perfect right? The suburban middle/upper class stay at home mom has got to be what women aspire to be, correct? They are prefect in every way, and are never stigmatized? From the moment a SAHM awakes she never leaves her place of work. Her entire life is dedicated to her family. Imagine never being able to leave your place of employment, how trapped would you feel? The work of maintaining a household is undervalued in a capitalist society, not only because it is traditionally the labor of women, but because it does not produce a profit. Since the male is the breadwinner when he asks, "what did you do today", it is actually a request for the breakdown of labor that was performed. A SAHM, and her husband have an unequal distribution of power within their relationship, simply because he is paid for his labor, and she is dependent on his magnanimity. Imagine having to justify how you spent your day?
Each day is a repetition of tedious tasks that never end, in the service of others. Even while they run around town ferrying children to appointments, and picking up dry cleaning, their lives are ridiculed. They are told, that what they do is meaningless, and counter to the objectives of advancing women. Imagine having your entire life held up to ridicule. To society she is just an air headed soccer mom without any real value. Though SAHM's are not considered the drain that welfare moms are on the system, they are seen as not contributing to the greater good by having removed themselves from economic labor. Socially the fulfillment of their biological imperative is seen as acceptable, as long as their husband continues to support them financially. The limited social acceptance that these women receive is completely dependent upon their marital state.
So I ask, what class do you have to be a part of, to be considered a good mother? Each day we are inundated with cries of a declining birth rate, and yet women that choose to become mothers are socially constructed as less than. Welfare mothers are routinely denigrated, working moms are incompetent, and SAHM's lack the ability to reason. Once a year we celebrate mothers day, but for 364 days a year this role is undervalued by our society. No matter what class position a woman occupies, mothering is tiring, soul exhausting work. There is always someone to plant the seeds of doubt, to correct any small slight, or to demean any achievement, after all it's just motherhood. Yet we continue on, daily loving, and caring for our families.
Many studies have been dedicated to estimating the value of household work and mothering, yet the stigmatization continues. Women don't need a hallmark card, and a dozen roses once a year, we need real and substantive change to the construction of motherhood. Though it is unpaid labor, it must be recognized as vital to our country. A family cannot function without one member completely dedicated to its success, and that is what mothers do. Each and every act in the public sphere is dependent upon the success, and the maintenance done in the private sphere. The cost of actually paying mothers the value of their labor would bankrupt the Canadian economy, and yet we cannot as a country achieve the smallest concessions to make this role any easier. We have no socialized day care program, there are no pensions benefits for a SAHM that pay at a subsistence level, and employers are not required to offer women hours that are more conducive to the role of mothering. It seems that no matter what class a woman belongs to, motherhood is a losing proposition, a thankless never ending job. Yet we continue on in the face of all of this adversity. There is a saying,…the strength of a people is placed upon a woman's back, and nowhere is that more reflective than an examination of motherhood.

Adam Posen's brief flirtation with the Monetary Policy Committee majority is well and truly over.
At the MPC's April and May votes, Mr Posen left David Miles as the only member voting for more quantitative easing.
That is unlikely to be the case at next month's vote, however. In a speech delivered this afternoon, Mr Posen not only calls for more money printing, but also for the Bank to spend the cash on assets other than gilts – an idea that the governor and other Bank staffers have fiercely objected to on the grounds that it would hinder Threadneedle Street's independence.
Elements of the argument are not new — Mr Posen in September called for the Bank to branch out from buying gilts and do more to spur lending to smaller businesses. Again, he is dismissive of the view that doing more impacts a central bank's credibility.
But there are also significant differences in today's speech from what Mr Posen had to say in the autumn. Read more

BAKER COUNTY, Fla. - A man already charged with DUI in the hit-and-run death of a 22-year-old man near the Jacksonville Landing in August was arrested again Sunday on another DUI charge in Baker County.
Brian Patterson, 32, of Macclenny, was driving his truck at a high speed approaching an intersection with U.S. Highway 90 about 3 a.m. when he slammed on the brakes for a red light and stopped about five feet into the intersection, according to an arrest report.
A deputy saw him and followed him for a short time to watch his driving pattern, according to the report. The deputy said Patterson's truck crossed the solid white line on the shoulder of the road twice, and he stopped Patterson in a parking lot.
The deputy said he smelled alcohol coming from the car and saw a beer bottle in the cup holder. He said Patterson failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested on a DUI charge and booked into the Baker County jail.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, in August, Patterson was driving a pickup truck in a parking lot across the street from the Landing that struck Taylor Evans, an innocent bystander who later died.
Patterson was arrested earlier this month in that case on a charge of misdemeanor DUI. Police said he had a blood alcohol content level of .127.
Police said the fight was the continuation of an altercation that began as people were leaving Maverick's Rock N' Honky Tonk at the Landing about 2:15 a.m. on Aug. 14.
Johnson, 26, pleaded not guilty last month.
The Evans family spoke to Channel 4 Wednesday night about Taylor's death and Patterson's arrest.
"I would not wish it on my worst enemy; the grief and the sadness that our family has been through because of it," said Walter Evans, Taylor's father. "If you look at the paper write up, of the car and you look at his booking report and all, it's the same thing over again, with the exception, he didn't kill nobody this time."
According to the State Attorney's motion, Jesse Dreicer, Patterson's lawyer, does not contest the state's motion that Patterson committed a crime while on pre-trial release. Evans family attorney John Kalil told Channel 4 that the case is far from over.
"There are a lot more facts to be developed in this case, and we believe that there are a number of witnesses that may not have been spoken to by the Jacksonville Sheriff's office that have some information that can be shed," said Kalil.
"I don't feel that he should have been driving since he hit Taylor," said Becky Evans, Taylor's mother. "But, certainly, glad that it's happened, that they are revoking the bond."
Taylor's parents said it's still tough to be without their son, especially during this time of year. The parents said they wants to send a message to others to hold their loved ones tight this holiday season.
"As a parent, love your kids, because they might not be here tomorrow," said Walter Evans.

Drag for 360 view
As our boot sizes get bigger, the level of support in the cuff changes and so does the level of flex. That way, while a kid's skiing style is developing and they're getting stronger, they always get the 100% support they need.
The new buckles on our kids boots feature a narrower catch which stops the buckles from catching and scratching each other.
With our size adjuster insert in every kid's boot you can add an extra half size to a boot when you need it. So the boot lasts longer as feet grow.
All our Kids' range features world-class insulation, not just in cold spots but from top to toe. This keeps little feet warm well below zero.
The Atomic Waymaker JR 3 ski boot allows young all-mountain riders to have more fun in hard and soft snow. The 3-buckle construction provides supportive yet comfortable foot hold while the shell design keeps the foot warm and dry all day long. The boot now comes with a Size Adjuster that adds an extra half size to the boot when they need it. All of the junior models also come with a progressive cuff design: meaning the flex and cuff of every model are perfectly tailored to the skier's ability and size. The Waymaker JR 3 therefore provides firmer support and a more energetic flex than the JR 2.

"World Wide Science is the world's most important scientific resource, where the global science community can share knowledge." This remarkable encomium did not come from just any casual observer, but from a leader of one of the world's top information organizations. While interviewing with Information World Review, Richard Boulderstone, director of e-strategy and information systems at the British Library, shared this perspective.
A term of art now catching on is "e-Science." According to Wikipedia, "The term e-Science (or eScience) is used to describe computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing; the term sometimes includes technologies that enable distributed collaboration, such as the Access Grid. The term was created by John Taylor, the Director General of the United Kingdom's Office of Science and Technology in 1999 and was used to describe a large funding initiative starting in November 2000. Examples of the kind of science include social simulations, particle physics, earth sciences and bio-informatics."
There was good news coming from the University of Tennessee (UT) and the State of Tennessee in 2009! A $1.8 million grant was announced that will help put more math and science teachers into Tennessee schools! This program, called VolsTeach, is designed to meet the increasing need for more math and science te
Why might the critical-point behavior of coauthorship networks be universal? The symmetry group of the associated concept space
In December 2008, Luis Bettencourt and David Kaiser reported their findings[1] from studies of research collaboration networks, which included their discovery that, as coauthorship networks in a particular field reach the point of forming a single giant component of interconnected authors that dwarfs all other coauthor groups in that field, the growth near that point depends in a universal way on the average number of coauthors per author. In particular, the fraction of coauthor links that belong to the giant component appears to be proportional to ( - kc)0.35, where kc, which marks the critical point, depends on the research field.[2] The remarkable fact is that the exponent, 0.35, fits the data for networks in several quite distinct fields. This value apparently isn't common to networks in general, though. I had wondered what features of a network do determine the exponent's value.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/8/2013 (1461 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There probably isn't a person alive in North America who isn't familiar with these words, spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1963:
"I have a dream."
But what the dream encapsulated in King's most famous speech entailed, and how he came to deliver it half a century ago, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to an audience of nearly 300,000 people on the National Mall, are less widely known, despite the fact the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom represents a crucial turning point in the U.S. civil rights movement.
On the eve of the event's 50th anniversary, PBS offers a fascinating bit of background detail in the form of The March, an hour-long documentary that examines the events that inspired the march, the work that went into organizing it, and the delicate political negotiations that resulted in a gathering that turned out to be much more peaceful than some of Washington's most powerful residents believed it could be.
The film, directed by John Akomfrah, is a co-produced (along with Smoking Dog Films and Cactus Three) by Sundance Productions, the film and TV production company founded last year by Robert Redford and former Winnipegger Laura Michalchyshyn.
Narrated by Denzel Washington, the documentary features interviews with dozens of activists and celebrities who were in the U.S. capital half a century ago to hear King's famous address, including Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, Diahann Carroll and Sidney Poitier.
"The march had a clearly an aspirational component to it," said Clarence T. Jones, who acted as lawyer and speechwriter to King in the lead-up to the event in Washington. "The march had a celebratory component to it -- by celebratory, I meant it was a celebration that we've come this far. The march was a collective summoning of the conscience, the moral conscience of America. That's what the march and assembly was. It was the clarion call to the conscience of America that said, in so many words, that we can be a country better than what we have been; that police dogs, fire hoses, the continuance of racial segregation, that's really not who we are. We can be much better than this. So, in that sense, you know, I'd say it was aspirational."
In an interview earlier this month during PBS's portion of the U.S. networks' summer press tour in Los Angeles, Jones and other participants in the march recalled the event as an attempt by King and other civil-rights activists as a bold move aimed at forcing the southern states -- Alabama in particular -- to recognize the undeniable shift in American attitudes toward segregation, and to push the Kennedy administration to fulfil the promises it had made but then largely ignored regarding civil-rights legislation.
"I think what the march did was it sent a signal to the nation, particularly to the center of power, that the civil-rights movement, as fractured as it had been through the South, was no longer a regional movement, but was a national movement," said Roger Mudd, who covered the march for CBS in 1963.
"And then, I think, with the assassination of President Kennedy, President Johnson was able to use that assassination as a major lever to get the Civil Rights Bill through. But I don't think any of that would have happened without the march being as successful as it was."
Among the most interesting details in this very enlightening film is the fact that a crucial part of King's legendary speech was actually delivered off the cuff.
"Most people do not know that the speech which he actually gave was not the speech that he had intended to give," Jones recalled. "In fact ... as he was reading from the text of his prepared speech, there came a point when (gospel singer) Mahalia Jackson, who was sitting on the platform, said, 'Tell them about the dream, Martin. Tell them about the dream.'
"When Mahalia shouted to him, I was standing about 50 feet behind him, to the right and to the rear. And I watched him ... just take the text of this speech and move it to the left side of the lectern, grab the lectern, and look out. And I said to somebody standing next to me, 'These people don't know it, but they're about ready to go to church.'
"I could see his body language change from the rear, where he had been reading like giving a lecture to then going into his Baptist-preacher mode. So the rest of the speech was spontaneous and extemporaneous. ... (There was) a certain percentage of the speech that he read, up until maybe, I would say, the seventh or eighth paragraph, was part of the written prepared text. And then he added on his own paragraphs after that."

A 22-YEAR-OLD woman has pleaded guilty to an arson attack on a primary school.
Kymberley Charlotte Rowbotham, of Owen Court, Clayton-le-Moors, appeared at Burnley Crown Court today charged with two counts of arson.
The court was told that on August 5, 2013, Rowbotham set fire to a recycling bin at All Saints CofE Primary School in Clayton-le-Moors, as well as causing damage to the Church Street school by fire.
Defending, Mark Ford said the defendant had 'a number of problems' and that tests were being done to determine whether she had Asperger syndrome and depression.
He added that his client had always indicated to him that she wanted to admit the charges.
Mr Ford said: "She made it perfectly clear to me that, irrespective of the strength of the evidence against her, she wished to plead guilty in any event.
"I am really rather anxious to place those matters on record."
Judge Jonathan Gibson adjourned sentencing until February 3, when Rowbotham will appear before Preston Crown Court.
He told the defendant: "First of all, having pleaded guilty, you will of course receive proper credit.
"I will take into account both the stage at which the pleas have been entered and those matters which have been mentioned in court."
Before Rowbotham is sentenced, a psychiatric report, a psychological report and a pre-sentence report from the probation service will be prepared.

Active 20-30 Club of Napa
The Active 20-30 Club of Napa provides young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendships and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs children in their community. Active 20-30 Club is unique from other service organizations in that we place a strong emphasis on an ACTIVE approach to community service—participating in a hands-on fashion.
Every year we offer our annual events—an "egg" hunt, fishing derby, Fun Fest, parade, and Project Santa—all free to the community. Through our Birthday Buddies program, we provide birthday party supplies to families living at a local shelter to celebrate a child's birthday. We also participate in special projects as they arise—playground construction and clean-up days, and Junior Achievement.
It's not all business in Active 20-30. Through service, our members develop strong friendships and have a lot of fun. Social events play a large role in 20-30 life, including barbecues, bowling nights, pub crawls, campouts, ski trips, baseball games, chili cook-offs, and visitations to other Active 20-30 clubs.
Members have the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally, meet new people, share in a common drive of service and develop new leadership skills. Our members have traveled to New Orleans, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Mexico to volunteer their time at orphanages, Boys & Girls Clubs, and community centers.
One of the oldest standing service clubs in Napa County, Active 20-30 Club of Napa #57 was founded in 1930 and chartered under the bylaws of The Active 20-30 Club U.S. & Canada, our parent organization. Originally chartered as an all male club, the Active 20-30 Club of Napa integrated membership in the early 1990's to allow the women of the former Napa Active Women's Club to join the organization. Today, the Active 20-30 Club of Napa's membership is comprised of roughly equal numbers of men and women.

Getting StartedPage address: https://www.mnsu.edu/ext/faculty/start.html
Step 1: Decide on a type of course delivery
You may wish to review the descriptions provided for each of the course delivery methods offered through University Extended Education.
Step 2: Establish a course
|D2L or Off-campus
|Complete the University Extended Education Course Request Form.
|Packaged Courses
|Contact University Extended Education
|Study Abroad
|Complete the University Extended Education Course Request Form. The Program Director for University Extended Education and the Director for International Programs prefer to meet jointly with the proposing faculty member(s) early in the process. The initial meeting can occur either before or after the course request form is completed.
|PSEO Concurrent Enrollment
|Karey Shearman
|Jean Clarke
Step 3: Work with University Extended Education and other partners to implement a successful course.
We're all in this together!
Review the links below for important information about each type of course offered through University Extended Education, then check out the Faculty Resources page for quick links to workshops, tutorials, help desks, and other Minnesota State Mankato resources.
Visit Faculty Resources
Step 4: Order textbooks and other materials.
You can place your textbook orders online at Minnesota State Mankato Barnes & Noble Bookstore. Select the Faculty Services tab. You may also contact the bookstore by calling 507-389-1649. Students may order their books online as well, using the Student Center tab.
Step 5: Monitor the enrollment in your course.
We ask that you contact University Extended Education the day after your first class meeting and provide us with the number of students in the class or information regarding cancellation. The Registrar's office provides step-by-step instructions to view your Minnesota State Mankato roster online. As noted in Step 2, special instructions apply for some off-campus courses.
Minimum Enrollment: Courses will be canceled at the end of the first week of classes or after the first class session, whichever is later, if minimum enrollment is not met. However, this is a somewhat flexible concept.
- If you are teaching an in-load class and being paid by your department or college, your department/college determines the minimum enrollment. University Extended Education must be informed of the decision to cancel the course if minimum enrollment is not met.
- If you are teaching as an adjunct or an overload appointment, you will be paid by University Extended Education and we determine a minimum enrollment for your class. In broad terms, minimum enrollment is set at the number of tuition-paying students required to "break even" on the course. However, other valid considerations exist and are taken into account.
If you do not have the minimum enrollment after the first night of class, you have two options: 1) inform the students that class is cancelled or 2) work with University Extended Education during the first week of classes to continue the course based upon programmatic needs, departmental funding available, or other circumstances.
Mid-Term Roster: It is important that you promptly review the mid-term roster for your course. If there are students in your class who are not on the roster, they need to contact University Extended Education as soon as possible in order to complete the registration and tuition payment process, or they will no longer be eligible to continue attending class and receive a grade.
Step 6: Know what you need to know about cancellation of classes.
Faculty Decision: If you choose to cancel due to inclement weather conditions, illness, or other reason, please inform your students directly and also leave a message with University Extended Education (507-389-2572) or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Severe Weather: Most classes (Monday-Friday) will be covered by the University's regular severe weather policy and procedures. Please ask your students to listen to a Mankato or Twin Cities radio or TV station or visit the University website if there is any possibility that classes might be cancelled. You may want to develop your own procedure for notifying students if necessary.
Online courses should also address weather considerations that may affect student participation.
Saturday Classes: In the event that Saturday classes need to be cancelled because of weather conditions, University Extended Education or the Security Office will contact the "Saturday phone number" provided by faculty who teach on Saturdays. NOTE: Our office will contact faculty members only, not individual students.
Step 7: Course evaluations and final examinations.
Step 8: Enter the grades for your course.
University Extended Education courses use the same record-keeping tools on the Registrar's website as all University courses. The Registrar's office provides step-by-step instructions to submit grades.
Step 9: Ask questions.
If you have any difficulty with any step along the way or have questions about anything else pertaining to University Extended Education, don't hesitate to contact us!
Step 10: Give us feedback.
We depend on your feedback to help us improve the service we provide to faculty and students. Let us know what works and what doesn't when you teach for University Extended Education!

Step-by-Step Beauty
So you're flipping through the latest issue of ELLE and you see the haircut of your dreams. You get on the phone, book your appointment, and sit on the edge of your seat until the day comes. Then, you walk into your appointment, sit down, and say, "I want my hair to look edgy with a shaved side, and really short bangs." Now cue tears and regret.
Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you find a cut or style that you want your hair to look exactly like, bring in that picture to your stylist. This will eliminate any miscommunication that happens in these kinds of situations. If you want your bangs to look like Zooey Deschanel's or your tresses to look like Jennifer Lopez's voluminous layers, a photo will help clear up any confusion. Your stylist will thank you and it will really make the consultation much easier.
Also, listen to what your stylist is recommending—the style of your dreams may not work for you or your lifestyle. And, make sure you understand how they are going to achieve this new look. If you can't comprehend the terminology, then don't be afraid to have him/her "dumb it down" for you. Sometimes stylists get wrapped up in their professional lingo that they forget to speak "consumer."

DETROIT - The Kilpatrick federal corruption trial abruptly ended today when Bobby Ferguson's attorney Gerald Evelyn was ferried away by ambulance from the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse.
Evelyn had been in the middle of his cross-examination of witness Thomas Hardiman Sr., a former senior executive with Lakeshore Engineering, when he suddenly stopped and asked the judge if he could have a break. It quickly became apparent that the defense lawyer was feeling extremely unwell as he sat with his head down on his arms at the defense table.
The courtroom was cleared as two courthouse medical staff members made their way in to evaluate Evelyn. An ambulance was called and a little after 12PM, Evelyn was carted out the Fort St. exit on a stretcher. He wore an oxygen mask and his eyes were closed. Mike Rataj, another lawyer for Ferguson, accompanied Evelyn to the ambulance.
Before his medical issue arose, Evelyn had been busy dismantling Hardiman's testimony from Friday. The witness had testified last week that Ferguson had forced his way onto Detroit Water and Sewerage (DWSD) contracts by leveraging his relationship the mayoral administration and had demanded more than a million in payment even when no work was done.
Evelyn pointed out for the jury that Hardiman had received a letter of immunity from the government before his second grand jury appearance in December 2010. He also pointed out that Hardiman had supported Kwame Kilpatrick through two elections and in 2005, offered him office space in a Woodward Ave. building for his mayoral campaign headquarters.
And this was done for business purposes by promoting Hardiman's name recognition via exposure to the mayor said Evelyn. Hardiman conceded that was true. The witness also agreed with Evelyn that Ferguson was a proud family man who encouraged minority businesses.
But the strongest part of Evelyn's cross came right at the end. On Friday, Hardiman testified that he lost two contracts totaling $15 million by failing to cut Ferguson into the $10 million contract. He further testified that Ferguson demanded money without providing work and that he paid him because he feared more canceled contracts.
Evelyn introduced as evidence the Lakeshore bid proposal for contract WS 849. This was the same contract that Hardiman had testified Lanzo Lining's Angelo D'Alessandro had paid Ferguson more than a million to just walk away from. The bid proposal showed that the inclusion of Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (FEI) had helped boost the proposal by ticking the most boxes on the local and economic development weighted score. Of all the partners on the proposal, FEI had the most employees that were Detroit residents, minorities and women as well as being both a Detroit-headquartered business (DHB) and a Detroit-based business (DBB). And for this, FEI would get 36% of the work when the contract was awarded.
So Evelyn said, it wasn't Ferguson trying to take work away from D'Alessandro's Lanzo Lining but D'Alessandro trying to take Ferguson's excavation work for himself. Evelyn introduced a record of payment to Ferguson drawn up by D'Alessandro that showed 2 clear amounts: $273,786 and $900,000.
"So he didn't just write a check (to Ferguson), there was a formula?" asked Evelyn. Yes replied Hardiman.

NEARLY 100 road markings on routes across Worcestershire need 'urgent' repainting, according to a hard-hitting report which criticises councils for allowing them to fall into a poor state.
The Road Safety Markings Association has produced a dossier categorising routes across the country for the condition of what it calls the "humble white line".
As part of the study it collected data from four miles of roads in Worcestershire and says state of the county's markings are "above average", but has warned of a "relatively large" number of routes in need of urgent attention based on the sample.
Eighty per cent of the white lines surveyed in the sample were deemed 'satisfactory' and two per cent 'good', while 16 per cent are deemed to need new permanent markings within 28 days to meet national guidelines.
Across the country 12 per cent got the top grading, which means Worcestershire is lagging behind in terms of having excellent markings, but it is doing far better in terms of routes rated as 'satisfactory', where the average is just 50 per cent.
The association has called for fresh investment from councils, saying too many authorities are failing to keep road markings in an acceptable condition.
George Lee, a director at the body, said: "Despite assurances of their commitment to road safety, those responsible for the upkeep of our roads continue to neglect the most cost-effective safety device available to road engineers, the white line.
"The humble white line can save lives and it is therefore important they are maintained to a sufficient standard that they do their job properly - if a line is so worn that it cannot be seen it puts lives at risk."
The association says Worcestershire compares reasonably well to other authorities, but must do more to bring down the tally of markings which need attention.
Although it has not released details of the exact roads, across Worcestershire it says 96 markings were flagged up as in need of fresh repainting.
Councillor John Smith, cabinet member for highways and transportation at the county council, said: "Some roads in Worcestershire are not as wide as we'd ideally like, and in those cases we would deliberately not put white markings on them.
"But we'll certainly look at the statistics the group has come up with and seek to improve routes in the county where we can."

Menston residents are invited to attend a traffic management consultation event on Tuesday, from 2pm to 7pm, at Kirklands Community Centre.
The event is an opportunity to view the proposed traffic management scheme for Menston and traffic and highways officers from Bradford Council will be available to answer queries.
The plans will be on display in Menston Library for a week after the event.
The event will also be attended by Dr Steve Ellams, chairman of Menston Community Association, who said. "There has been some controversy about this event in that it is directly related to the proposed housing developments at Derry Hill and Bingley Road.
"I will be in attendance at the meeting, as will experts in Highways from Bradford Council plus other interested parties.
"The Parish Council has already put in a detailed report on road mitigation for the village and through efforts from all parties including the Community Association the village has managed to get this consultation."

NEW YORK CITY – After winning two games in overtime fashion in recent weeks, the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team's saw its overtime luck ran out on Friday night as Columbia was able to defeat the Quakers in extra time at the Baker Athletics Complex, 4-3.
Liz Cruz scored the winner 12 minutes into extra time for the Lions, taking a cross from Christina Freibott and scoring from the left side. It was Freibott's third assist of the game.
With the loss, Penn saw its three-game win streak end and fell to 9-3 on the season. The Quakers also are now 3-1 in Ivy League play. Columbia improved to 6-7 overall and is now 2-2 in Ivy play.
Columbia was the first team on the board Friday night, as Lauren Skudalski batted a Leah Matthews shot out of the air on the left side of the goal and put it home in the 16th minute.
Penn responded with the next two goals before halftime, both of them coming from freshman Jasmine Cole. The first came off a penalty corner in the 21st minute, as she took the pass from Emily Corcoran and fired a long shot from the left elbow.
Just 2:39 later, Cole put the Quakers in front with another hard shot from the left side. Alex Iqbal was credited with the assist. Penn was up, 2-1, at the half.
Penn looked like it might put this game to bed less than five minutes into the second half, when Julie Tahan scored an unassisted goal. However, Skudalski re-directed a Freibott shot off a penalty corner in the 52nd minute, and then the Lions took advantage of a man-up situation as Lindsey Walter finished a centering pass from Freibott off another corner with less than nine minutes left in regulation.
Penn had a 19-16 shot advantage on Columbia for the game, and also held a 9-7 edge in corners for the night. In the Quaker goal, Carly Sokach had six saves; she was matched at the other end by Columbia's Kimberly Pianucci. In addition to her first two goals of the season, Snudalski had a defensive save for the Lions; for Penn, Katelynn Mudgett was credited with a defensive save.
Penn is back at home for its next three games, starting Sunday when the Quakers host Appalachian State at Ellen Vagelos Field. Sunday's game will be Penn's second annual "Yellow" game; the Quakers will wear yellow socks, armbands, and headbands as part of its uniform to raise awareness about Osteogenic Sarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer among children, adolescents, and young adults. Faceoff is slated for noon.

Mistrial declared in fatal shooting
DETROIT — A judge declared a mistrial on Tuesday after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a Detroit police officer who fatally shot a 7-year-old girl during a chaotic search for a murder suspect that was recorded by a reality TV crew.
Loud voices could be heard in the jury room a few hours before jurors threw in the towel and were dismissed. They sent three notes, the last one indicating they still couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on the third day of deliberations, despite encouragement from Wayne County Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway.
Joseph Weekley, a member of an elite police squad, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
He was accused of being "grossly negligent" in how he handled his submachine gun as his black-clad, masked and armed unit stormed the Detroit home to capture a suspect in May 2010. Police threw a stun grenade through a window, and Weekley was the first officer through the door.
Weekley told jurors that he accidentally pulled the trigger during a struggle with the girl's grandmother, but Mertilla Jones denied interfering with the gun. Weekley was not charged with intentionally shooting Aiyana.
The hunt for a murder suspect was being recorded by a crew from "The First 48," a police show on A&E Networks. Some video shot from the sidewalk was part of the evidence.
The jury could have convicted Weekley of involuntary manslaughter, a felony, or reckless discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor. He also could have been cleared of all charges.
"This is a bittersweet outcome: Bitter because Weekley was not convicted, and sweet in that justice for Aiyana Jones will come soon," said Roland Lawrence, leader of a group called Justice for Aiyana Jones Committee, which pressed for charges.
The judge listed several factors for the jury to consider on the involuntary manslaughter count. To convict, the jury had to find that he willfully disregarded possible injuries to others by failing to control his gun, as well as other elements.
"We are stuck," the jury said in its first note Tuesday.
Before dismissing the jurors, the judge asked if anyone believed that more deliberations would be fruitful if "some matters" could be addressed. She didn't elaborate. Only one juror raised her hand.

So maybe someone can suggest an alternative set up to what I have:
class ftp {} // handles opening ftp connections, listing files, downloading files, etc
class mongo_conn {} //handles mongodb connections
class dur_files extends ftp {} //dur is a type of file I regularly deal with, allows me to list dur files, download them locally, extract them (gz) and then calls dur_import
class dur_import extends mongo_conn {} // handles the import of a file from dur_files, ideally I'd extend dur_files as well as mongo_conn, but I cant, so Im calling this class from within dur_files
10,000' view is that I need to be able to list files that are in a directory, determine if they are loaded into mongodb, pull them down, extract and then load line by line (all this is programmed) but I'm running into organization / extension issues.
Certain problems of multiple inheritance can now be dealt with using PHP Traits as of PHP 5.4
This seems like an ugly hack for Zend to have implemented.. I'm trying it out now
Especially since I can't use the trait directly? Boo Zend, just boo.
PHP has ugly hacks? Say it ain't so Joe.
1,000 internet points for Michael
You really don't want to inherit ftp and mongo_conn together anyway, nor really do you want to do that with dur_files and dur_import? Why? Because they are not related. ftp is not a mongo_conn and the opposite isn't true either, mongo_conn is not an ftp.
Really you should use dependency injection for this (probably even true for dur_files and dur_import, as I bet dur_files is not an FTP and dur_import is not a mongo_conn. However, I bet dur_files needs FTP and dur_import needs dur_files and mongo_conn.
I'd personally lay it out like so:
class dur_files
private $ftp;
public function __construct($ftp)
$this->ftp = $ftp;
class dur_import
private $files;
private $db;
public function __construct($db, $files)
$this->db = $db;
$this->files = $files;
This way if you need to utilize another database, you can pass that forward too and as long as they have the same method implementation, it just works.
I agree with cpradio. Is it correct to say that a file "is-a" transfer protocol? This is a case where composition would be better than inheritance.
Here's how I might put it together.
First, your connection classes.
class FtpConnection
// ...
class MongoConnection
// ...
We want to make sure these two classes can be used interchangeably, so we're going to make sure they both support the same interface.
interface ConnectionInterface
public function connect();
public function list();
public function get();
// or whatever you want the methods to be
class FtpConnection implements ConnectionInterface
// implement all the methods from ConnectionInterface using FTP
class MongoConnection implements ConnectionInterface
// implement all the methods from ConnectionInterface using Mongo
Now you can make a one-time decision to instantiate either FtpConnection or MongoConnection, and all your code from that point forward can be ignorant of which kind of connection you're using.
If you have common ways that you handle remote files, then you could create some sort of remote file manager class.
class RemoteFileManager
private $connection;
// this class can and probably should be ignorant of the kind of connection we're using
// so it expects an existing connection object to be passed to it
// this is the dependency injection pattern cpradio was talking about
public function __construct(ConnectionInterface $connection)
$this->connection = $connection;
// ...
I re-read your comments about what each class is supposed to do, and I realized that what I posted doesn't really work the same way, but hopefully it helps to convey the gist of composition over inheritance.
I actually liked where you went with it, other than I'm not sure I'd give the same interface between a file transfer protocol and a database protocol. I would have given two different interfaces, so if you switched from FTP to Telnet, or Curl, or SCP all of those could be built the same.
I don't necessarily think the same is true for MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, etc, however, all of those would have the same process as each other, just not the same as FTP, Telnet, etc.
I really wish people would utilize interfaces more often (this comes from my .NET background). Interfaces are a godsend for APIs and forcing classes to abide by a specific implementation. It is unfortunately so many get it wrong or refuse to use it.
@K_Wolfe ; one thing that really has helped me choose between composition and inheritance is using the "is a" rule, but on top of that, if I ever had the thought, "Man, I wish I could inherit both X and Y", I know I screwed up somewhere and I need to re-evaluate what I've done. Inheritance complicates things, and more inheritance only leads to further complication.
Let me leave you with this thought. Where I previously worked a contractor built our original web service that allowed third parties to get quotes from our system. The VERY base class of the 13 level inheritance was named ErrorClass (I'm not kidding!). The only thing I can tell you now, is at least he knew where his code was heading. Everything sucked, it threw more errors than returning success messages, etc. After reworking it for a couple of years (it took us years to get an architecture that could easily be swamped out), our largest inheritance level was 3. We only needed that third level for a special implementation of a project and once everything was transferred over, it went down to 2, but I think this will bring home the point (inheritance isn't bad, but it's complicated, and you need to understand why you are doing it and you are doing it for the right reasons).
Your viewing my "connections" incorrectly. My process MUST use both.
So maybe I should rephrase how it works then...
dur_files utilizes ftp and dur import utliizes mongo, and in order to do use dur_import, it needs the files (fur_files).
Indeed. I realized this too late.
"use" is the key word, because dur_import can use dur_files without needing to extend dur_files. Inheritance is unnecessary. Likewise, dur_import can use mongo_conn without needing to extend mongo_conn. (Imagine if all your controllers were required to extend your database just to use the database.) I don't actually think what you're doing requires any inheritance at all.
* An FTP connection.
class ftp
// ...
* An FTP file manager. (Requires an FTP connection object be passed in.)
class dur_files
private $ftp;
public function __construct($ftp)
$this->ftp = $ftp;
// ...
* A Mongo DB connection.
class mongo_conn
// ...
* Import dur files from an FTP source into a Mongo DB.
* (Requires a dur_files object and a mongo_conn object be passed in.)
class dur_import
private $dur_files;
private $mongo_conn;
public function __construct($dur_files, $mongo_conn)
$this->dur_files = dur_files;
$this->mongo_conn = mongo_conn;
// ...
// Tie it all together and start things running.
$ftp = new ftp('ftp://yadayada');
$dur_files = new dur_files($ftp);
$mongo_conn = new mongo_conn('mongodb://localhost:27017');
$dur_import = new dur_import($dur_files, $mongo_conn);
At the risk of sounding a bit arrogant We circled back to what I posted on how I'd lay it out
Granted, if I felt that a common interface should be used across FTP and MongoDB (still not sold that it should be, although it "could be") there is a bit I'd tweak, but regardless, you would still be primarily looking at composition with dependency injection instead of inheritance.
We'll overlook the arrogance since you are 100% correct.

CROSBY, Texas - A car dealership owner accused of sexually assaulting a teenager has surrendered to authorities.
Riku Melartin, the owner of John Keating Chevrolet in Crosby, surrendered on Thursday and was expected to be released on bond.
Melartin has been accused of having sex with a 16-year-old employee. Another employee of the dealership, George Koutani, has been accused of fondling the teen.
"The defendants would take her upstairs, to an upstairs office, and either touch her inappropriately or, at one point, sexually assault her," said Donna Hawkins of the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Court records read that the teen was fondled on two occasions and had sex with Melartin one time between August and October 2012.
According to court documents, "The complainant believed Riku gave her a total close to $500.00 dollars [sic] between the three incidents."
Hawkins said the incidents came to light when the teen's stepfather, who is listed in court records as working for Melartin at the dealership, received an anonymous call. Court records read the stepfather told detectives the caller said "he overhead George Koutani bragging at the dealership about him having sex with the complaint."
Koutani has been charged with indecency with a child.
Court record also show at the time Melartin was charged, he was already on probation for a misdemeanor charge of violating the Harris County's sexually-oriented business law. Court records read Melartin owned Babe's cabaret on Hillcroft and on West F.M. 1960 in January and February of last year. Investigators wrote that after conducting an undercover operation during those months, they determined Melartin was running a sexually-oriented business at the F.M. 1960 location but had not obtained a sexually-oriented business license.
Court records read Melartin pleaded guilty to the charge in September and was given one year probation and deferred adjudication of guilt. Court records read Melartin is no longer the owner of the F.M. 1960 location.
Melartin was heralded by some as a hero 11 months ago.
Last February, Melartin recounted for Local 2 how he helped stop a man who robbed an elderly neighbor in Bellaire. Melartin's story went viral on the web, in part because of how he referred to his .50 caliber handgun as his "dancing partner."

NEWCASTLE coach Wayne Bennett has called on the NRL's referees to eradicate ruck wrestling before it becomes an epidemic.
Speaking after the Knights' 18-6 trial win against South Sydney at Coffs Harbour on Saturday, Bennett said spoiling tactics had now reached the point where they were damaging the game as a spectacle.
''If the ruck's going to be like that all season, we're going to have a pretty boring football season,'' Bennett said.
''We got penalised pretty heavily for it, but it was both sides. It's a blight on the game right now.''
Bennett said sitting in close proximity to the playing field on Saturday night gave him a bird's-eye view of the techniques and tactics employed to stifle the ball carrier.
''The attacking player in the game at the moment gets no reward for using his feet, no reward for winning the contest to going to ground so he can get a better play-the-ball,'' he said.
''It's all defence-orientated. It's not the product I want to see and I'm sure the fans will recognise it after a little while as well. It's been around a while now and there's more teams buying into it. There's more teams doing it than ever.''
He said that rather than being an advertisement for the code, last year's play-offs - and the annual All Stars match - reaffirmed his belief that remedial action was overdue.
''I thought our finals series last year was poor, in terms of the quality of football that was played,'' he said.
''I just know from being in the All Stars camp how much time the guys are spending in their training environment on the wrestling and slowing it all up.''
Bennett said referees needed to ''identify when the player is tackled'' and crack down on defenders whose only aim was to delay the play-the-ball. ''They'll have to penalise it,'' he said. ''They'll have to clean it up. When they start penalising it, I can guarantee you one thing, the coaches will sort it out. The coaches created it, now the coaches will clean it up if it's costing teams games of football.''
When it was pointed out that Souths conceded fewer penalties than Newcastle, Bennett said he accepted that was the case, although he argued the Knights were not only penalised for ruck infringements.
''They [Souths] got away with it better,'' he said.
''It looked like it was genuine. We're just not as good at it, so we looked clumsy.''
Asked if he would be contacting new referees boss Daniel Anderson to raise his concerns, Bennett replied: ''Not yet. I thought you might rattle his cage through your paper.''

Lady Flames Down Campbell, 3-1, Score 1st Road Win
Liberty evened its Big South record at 2-2 with a 3-1 (25-14, 18-25, 25-13, 25-22) victory at Campbell, Friday night.
With the win, the Lady Flames' first victory away from Lynchburg this season, Liberty improves to 3-14, including 2-2 in Big South play. The Lady Flames also handed Campbell (11-9, 2-2) its first home loss in six matches at the Pope Center this season.
Liberty outhit Campbell, .266-.128, on the match. The Lady Flames also held a 7-6 edge in aces, and led 9-6, in blocks and 71-63 in digs.
Senior Lillie Happel and freshman Nzea McQuitery tied for Liberty's team lead, with 11 kills apiece. McQuitery hit .476 and added five blocks, while Happel collected 11 digs for a double-double. Sophomore Allie Reynolds totaled a match-high 22 digs, and senior Becca Haraf registered 12 digs. Senior Jade Craycraft recorded 33 assists, while freshman Susan Babcock served up three aces in addition to four blocks. Junior Gabrielle Shipe had two aces and nine digs.
For Campbell, redshirt sophomore Alexis Hein recorded a match-high 12 kills, while senior Lindsey Coats chipped in with 11 kills. Heather Wilson led all players with 38 assists, while sophomores Katelyn Layden, Lauren Bewick and Mary Crema collected 14 digs apiece.
Liberty raced to a 25-14 set-one victory, outhitting Campbell, .345-.105 during the opening frame while also serving up three aces. The Lady Flames built a quick, 11-5, advantage and never looked back. McQuitery led Liberty with three kills in the first set, while Coats and Groen had three kills apiece for Campbell.
The Camels led for the majority of set two. Happel brought the Lady Flames to within two, 14-12, with a kill. After a kill and an ace by Hein, a McQuitery-Craycraft block narrowed the deficit to 16-13. Campbell then went on a 6-1 run, pulling away for the 25-18 victory to tie the match, 1-1.
Campbell hit .277 during the second set, compared to .235 for the Lady Flames. Liberty posted three blocks, with Babcock assisting on two rejections. Hein and Coats both sent down four kills for the Camels.
The Lady Flames led set three, 12-10, after Hein sent down a kill. Liberty then scored the next five points, breaking open a tight contest while outscoring Campbell, 13-2, on the way to a 25-12 set win and 2-1 match advantage.
Liberty scored at a .393 pace in the third set, while Campbell hit -.033. Happel totaled five kills for the Lady Flames during the third stanza.
Campbell held an early 10-6 lead during set four, before the Lady Flames scored a 6-0 run to take the lead, 12-10. Liberty led, 15-12, following a Craycraft-McQuitery block. The hosts then rallied to tie the score at 16-all, and then 18-18. After Haley Jeffcoat gave Liberty a 21-19 cushion with a kill, four rally points ensued. McQuitery later scored the set- and match-clinching kill, 25-22.
Both teams played strong defense in set four, with Liberty outblocking the Camels, 4-3. McQuitery recorded three kills and three blocks, while Hein totaled four kills for Campbell.
Liberty remains on the road, and will play at High Point, tomorrow at 2 p.m. inside the Millis Center. The last meeting between the Lady Flames and Panthers ended in a 3-2 Liberty victory, Nov. 2, 2012.

The only known risk factor for acoustic neuroma is having a parent with the rare genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 2, but this accounts for only a small number of cases. A hallmark characteristic of neurofibromatosis type 2 is the development of benign tumors on the balance nerves on both sides of your head, as well as on other nerves.
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is known as an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that the mutation can be passed on by just one parent (dominant gene). Each child of an affected parent has a 50-50 chance of inheriting it.
Another possible risk factor that may be associated with acoustic neuroma includes childhood exposure to low-dose radiation of the head and neck.

Fashion Spotlight: Laya Barak
A multihyphenate-in-training, her dreams demand an eye-catching look
Think you have a hard time getting dressed in the morning? Laya Barak, 24, an up-and-coming New York City dancer, actor, and singer, races from Broadway auditions to album recording sessions to the high-energy (and ELLE staffer-beloved) hip-hop classes she teaches at the legendary Broadway Dance Center. Three to four wardrobe changes per day require forethought, portability, comfort—and a very big bag (her trusty holdall is by Linea Pelle).
"In hip-hop, there's no one set way you have to be," Barak says. "You come up with your own style and hope other people pick up on it." Her particular formula includes bright colors, baggy jeans, cool sneakers (she's a Nike Dunk collector), major earrings, and an amalgam of cuffs and bracelets. "There's so much talent in New York, you have to make yourself stand out any way you can," she says.
The flip side of this persona comes out at her frequent singer-songwriter gigs. (Barak is working on a debut album under her own name.) "My music and lyrics are soft, soothing, more folk-rock," she says, and her look is downtown yet polished: well-cut blazers with softer feminine pieces. "When my hip-hop students come see me play, they're like, `Huh? Who's this hippie chick?'"

FOR a trend to emerge, it usually runs the gamut of catwalk collections. There are some, however, that don't work like that. Take glasses. Unlike a few seasons ago, when they appeared as part of a geek-chic vogue everywhere from Givenchy to Marni, they were far less visible at the recent spring-summer shows. Instead, this latest evolution for glasses is in real life - or a version of it.
They have been seen on the front row, worn by celebrities on the red carpet and have an unlikely champion in Victoria Beckham. She is launching a range of eye wear with Cutler and Gross next year, and has, coincidentally, come out as a closet specs-wearer. ''I haven't found glasses that suit me,'' she says. ''That's why I've decided to do them myself. It will be nice to see where I'm going for once.''
The style-conscious but short-sighted - myself included - are experiencing a strange sensation: kinship with Beckham, a woman more usually known for a flawless look that spurns practical considerations, such as being able to see.
Glasses are no longer associated with ironic geeks and girls in high-school movies pre-makeover.
There's other evidence for this theory. Prada consistently promotes girls in specs and Givenchy ads make Stella Tennant the face of the brand's eyewear. Tom Ford wears glasses to add an erudite edge to his gentlemanly look. Ahead of the game, he launched a range of opticals in 2006.
Celebrities including Zooey Deschanel, Tinie Tempah and (keeping it in the family) David Beckham have made glasses part of their retro-smart look, while Christina Hendricks and Anne Hathaway, who might - like me - have gone all Dusty Springfield about glasses and glamour not mixing, have often been snapped in theirs.
Along with Beckham and Ford, there are companies filling the gap between Dame Edna specs and boring ones from Specsavers.
Beckham was right to partner with Cutler and Gross. A trip to its tiny central London shop is a rite of passage for those after style and sight - it's where I found my square, bone-coloured shape. Oliver Peoples, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, is another classic name. Name-checked in American Psycho as the glasses Patrick Bateman wears, the brand encourages this character-based approach - and last year brought out a pair based on the ones Gregory Peck wears in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird. Co-founder Larry Leight sums up the label's appeal. ''If you were casting an artist or a writer in a movie, they might wear our glasses,'' he says.
Younger brands are now walking this balance, too - aiming for classic, wearable design. Prism, set up by fashion journalist Anna Laub, is an example.
''I realised you put so much care into everything else you wear but for glasses you're happy to wear anything,'' she says. ''Why can't something be beautiful and functional at the same time?''
Grace Woodward, the former stylist on Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model who became known for her black frames, believes so. ''When I first got glasses in the '90s,'' she says, ''it was either banal or crazy. Now there's Tom Ford, Persol, Prism. The fact that Victoria Beckham is doing them shows there's a customer.''
A word of warning, however, comes from the managing director of the Erdem clothing label, Jennifer Baca, who wears a chic pair of Chanel glasses, but strictly for viewing purposes only. ''I'm sceptical about them as a fashion accessory,'' she says.
''What happens when they're not a trend any more? I'll still have to wear them.''

eOne unveils Canadian film leadership team
In the wake of the formal conclusion of the Alliance Films acquisition in January, eOne's global film business head Patrice Théroux has confirmed that David Reckziegel will continue to oversee all North American Film operations.
As president of eOne Films North America, Reckziegel's purview includes the combined Canadian group.
Co-presidents Bryan Gliserman and Noah Segal will oversee eOne Films Canada encompassing the former Alliance Films teams.
Patrick Roy will oversee operations in Quebec as president of Les Films Seville. He will also serve as co-president of Les Films Christal alongside Christian Larouche.
Gliserman, Segal and Roy will report to Reckziegel.
"eOne has built a strong international business from Canada and we are now even better positioned to support Canadian and Québec talent and provide more film-makers access to new markets and platforms and wider visibility both in Canada and internationally," said Théroux.
"We're very proud to present our Canadian and Québec leadership," said Reckziegel. "We have put together a dream team. Bryan, Noah and Patrick connect an unparalleled network of Canadian, Québec and international film-makers and producers together with eOne."
Reckziegel co-founded Seville Entertainment with partner John Hamilton in 1999. When eOne acquired Seville in 2007 Reckziegel assumed the dual roles of president of Les Films Séville and co-president of Entertainment One Films. In 2009 he became co-president of eOne subsidiary Les Films Christal and two years later was promoted to president of eOne Films North America.
Gliserman joined eOne Films Canada as co–president in May 2008. He previously served as president of Alliance Films division Odeon Films.
Segal previously served as evp at Alliance Films and Roy started his career at Alliance Films in 1994.
