Ivy League Release
ECAC Release
PHILADELPHIA - Freshman Keiera Ray earned a trio of awards on Monday when she was named the Ivy League Co-Player of the Week, ECAC Co-Player of the Week and Ivy League Rookie of the Week by the league office. Ray scored 50 points over the weekend, including the first 30-point performance by an Ivy player this year, to help propel the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team to its first sweep of Harvard and Dartmouth since 2004.
Ray had a career-high 31 points on Friday night as the Quakers ended a 17-game and nine-year losing streak to Harvard. The 77-72 victory was also Penn's first home win over the Crimson since 2001. The following night, Ray had a game-high 19 points as the Red and Blue posted its largest margin of victory in 68 all-time meetings with Dartmouth in a dominating 63-40 win.
Penn had lost 11 straight home games to the Crimson before Ray scored 21 second-half points to propel the Quakers to victory. She was 7-for-8 from the free throw line over the final 1:18 to seal the win and was three rebounds shy of a double-double. On the night, she was 7-of-14 from the field and 14-of-20 (70%) from the free throw line.
The 31 points marked the most by an Ivy player in a League game since teammate Alyssa Baron had 38 in a double overtime affair at Harvard on Feb. 5, 2011. The 14 made free throws are second-most all-time in a single game at Penn and the most since Jewel Clark set the school standard with 16 against Drexel in 2002. Its also the most made free throws in a game by any Ivy player since Yale's Melissa Colborne hit the same amount at UC Riverside on Dec. 30, 2008.
On Saturday, Ray once again led the Quakers in scoring en route to another significant victory. The Aurora, Ill., native was 3-of-5 from three for the second straight night and also added four rebounds and three assists.
For the week, the Bolingbrook High School product was 12-of-26 (46.2%) from the field, 6-for-10 from three and 20-of-26 (76.9%) from the charity stripe. She averaged 25.0 points per game, 5.5 rebounds per game and 2.0 assists per game. In 68 minutes over the weekend, she had just five turnovers.
This is the first Ivy League Player of the Week selection for any Penn player this season and marks the third and fourth career Ivy awards for Ray. This is her first Player of the Week accolade and her third Rookie of the Week honor. Ray also won the rookie award after her 16-point, four-rebound, four-assist effort against Drexel on Dec. 21 and her eight-point, four-rebound, four-assist and two-steal effort against Villanova on Jan. 16.
Ray shared the Ivy and ECAC Co-Player honors with Princeton's Niveen Rasheed. Its the first ECAC honor for a Penn player since Baron shared the distinction with UConn's Maya Moore on Feb. 7, 2011.
Penn has now won five of its last six Ivy games and moved into sole possession of second-place in the Ivy League. The Quakers are 5-2 in league play for the first time since 2004-05 and trail only Princeton (7-0) in the league standings. Penn is 12-9 overall and is one win shy from matching last season's Ivy and overall win total.
Ray and the Quakers look to continue their winning ways this weekend as a four-game Ivy homestand wraps up with games against Cornell (Friday) and Columbia (Saturday) at The Palestra. Both games tip off at 7 p.m. and can be seen on the Penn Sports Network.

Found a nice recipe for barb sauce with an asian flare. Hoisin, soy, mustard, cider vinegar.
Grilled up some chicken (Legs and Breast) brushing on the sauce every 10 minutes.
I have to say, even cooking the chicken direct I didn't get many flare up with the BGE, what a great grill. Probably some of the nicest grilled chicken I have done, not charred in some spots.
Cooked them direct for about 15 minutes then moved them to a indirect side (no lump underneath) for another 20-25 minutes. Egg was at 500° most of the time.
The skin was the best part, really juicy chicken! Paired it up with a home made Mac & Cheese my wife cooked up.

Chris Kanaracus, a Correspondent for IDG News Service, is the first to publish an article about Genesis. I guess Chris stumbled across this Blog and found it interesting enough for an article. The article is accurate and I especially like the quotes:
Bob Gourley, former CTO of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, has been using Adobe's Connect and Acrobat.com collaboration offerings for his consulting business. Those tools and the workspaces concept in Genesis collectively generate "a really disruptive capability," he said in an e-mail.
Ronald Schmelzer, an analyst with ZapThink, largely echoed Gourley. "If there's any company that can do the lightweight enterprise mashup thing credibly, it's Adobe," he wrote in an e-mail.
By the way we have still a few slots available to meet and discuss Genesis during our roadshow in Austin next week (7/16 – 18) and in Chicago next month (8/12 – 14).

Subject: New and Updated Comptroller's Handbook Booklets
Date: May 6, 2013
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Federal Savings Associations, and Federal Branches of Foreign Banks; Department and Division Heads; All Examining Personnel; and Other Interested Parties
Description: Foreword Booklet and Refreshed Risk Definitions
As part of phase II of its ongoing implementation of title III of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is updating the Comptroller's Handbook by periodically issuing new or revised booklets on various topics. These updates reflect changes to laws, regulations, and supervisory policy, including any changes resulting from the integration of national bank and federal savings association rules. The "Table of Booklet Title Changes" is designed to assist you during the update period by cross-referencing planned booklet titles to previously published booklet titles. Please note that former Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) policies and guidance remain applicable to federal savings associations until rescinded, superseded, or revised.
The booklet issued today, "Foreword," describes the organization and format of the updated Comptroller's Handbook and lists the titles of booklets that will compose the handbook. The "Foreword" booklet replaces the "Introduction" booklet, dated July 1994. Comptroller's Handbook booklets continue to be available on the OCC Web site.
Additionally, the OCC has refreshed some definitions of terms used in its supervision by risk program, including the eight risk categories in its risk assessment system. While these terms' core meanings have not changed, the construction of the definitions has been improved and relevant industry terminology and assessment factors have been added. These refreshed definitions have been incorporated into the existing "Bank Supervision Process," "Large Bank Supervision," and "Community Bank Supervision" booklets. No other content has been updated in these booklets at this time. Each updated paragraph in these booklets now includes the date when it was last updated. Related content will be revised in other Comptroller's Handbook booklets as they are published.
Further Information
Questions and comments regarding the "Foreword" booklet and the refreshed definitions should be directed to Thomas Ramsey, NBE and Core Policy Analyst, at (202) 649-6967 or (202) 649-6550.

NICK ARMSTRONG epitomises the boom and bust of carbon trading.
In September, the 28-year-old chief executive of COzero was hailed as the youngest debutant on BRW's Young Rich List, sharing a fortune the magazine speculated at $22 million with partner Geoff Alexander.
COzero, founded in 2007 with the help of credit card debt, also topped BRW's Fast 100 list last year with an average annual revenue growth of 604 per cent in the three years to June 2011.
"We were lucky. We walked into a new commodity and a new market at a time when there weren't big incumbents,'' the entrepreneur said.
COzero's main business is aggregating and on-selling credits generated by renewable energy and energy-efficiency programs. An installer of a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel, for instance, receives a certificate that can be sold to traders.
Last month, the government triggered howls from the PV industry and traders when it suddenly accelerated a cut to the solar rebate by six months.
"We've had a very, very difficult year,'' Mr Armstrong said, with the six staff processing solar rebates cut to one. The company has cancelled plans for a share sale, closed its Melbourne office and slashed its staff from 25 to 12 to stem losses expected this year.
Mr Armstrong said the Coalition's promise to eliminate the carbon price may see him head overseas in search of other ventures. "If they scrapped it completely, we'd really struggle to have a business.''
COzero, meanwhile, has diversified abroad, investing in 20 greenhouse gas abatement projects in China, the values of which have tumbled along with the global price of certified emission reductions (CER).
"From a market perspective, the CERs have lost 95 per cent of their value this year," he said. "We've had to writedown significant value."
The drop has prompted COzero to cut its China-based staff from five to two.
Still, Mr Armstrong cautions against giving up on the industry, noting climate talks now on in Qatar could see a renewed emphasis on carbon pricing.
"If you're going to wait until it's all certain, you're going to miss the boat.''

I have so many childhood memories. Most of them involve me getting into trouble, or being embarrassed in some form or another. A story of my second-grade self just came up the other day while teaching. My students asked in wonderment "How do you remember that!?". The answers simple, when you're hurt, you don't forget, because if you do, it might happen again.
I suppose when I think about it, I have the happy clichéd childhood memories, of sitting on our front stoop playing watermelon, and pretending that the etchings in the stones by the front of the house made a perfect hopscotch board, and playing tap tap trio, and eating ices, trading stationary and the like. They're not individual memories though; they're collective.
I don't remember single times that I played elimination in front of the house. It was something we did every day. I don't remember all savvy stationary trades I made, just that we did it often and I had a great collection. The only individual memories I have on these collective ones, are the bad one – where things went wrong – not super right. Like the time Elisheva Link bombed a ball into my belly and it hurt so much I sat out the rest of the gain and everyone laughed at my for being weak. Or the time Zahava Feller tried to trade my Lisa Frank stationary for her Snoopy reinforcements, and Miri, my sister, interfered and told her off for offering me such a bad trade. I suppose that should be a good memory, I was spared, but I remember feeling ashamed that I was almost conned, and why didn't I know this myself.
I was recently reminded of a third grade tale – the time I returned a WAY overdue book to the Bais Yaakov libarary, and I was so afraid to tell Mrs. Florence, the librarian, because she was scary, she had a short pointy nose, blue eyes that bulges with veins, and of course the requisite high shrill of librarians. You can't really blame a third grader for being afraid. So I put the book down on her desk, like it was any other return, and walked briskly away.
Later on in the day, there was a student messenger knocking on my classroom door. She held a note, which my teacher proceeded to read out loud. I don't remember the exact words, but I remember it, recounting what I had done, and the words "and ran away!". My teacher read those words with much drama. I wanted to protest, to explain, and maybe deny, but I was just so embarrassed by my actions being revealed publically, not just revealed, but reprimanded, and in a way, almost mocked.
Why did they have to do that, both of them, the librarian and my teacher. What point and purpose was there for the librarian to write a dramatic note to my teacher? Address my mother, or me, or really address it, don't just point out my wrongdoings. And why did my teacher read it aloud? What gain was there besides for just shaming me into more misbehavior.
When I was in High School, I met the librarian. I was helping out the school Chinese auction, and she was the grandmother of one of the heads. She came to "shep nachas" and put in a few tickets. I couldn't view her as a grandmother. As a loving person. Someone who could care about someone else. I couldn't reconcile that incident years ago, with that just being a facets of a person, or job really. It hurt me tremendously.
Most days I laugh at the story. Because it's funny if you tell it over with the right voices and levity. But there's a part of me that'll never forget the eyes wide, and iced grip on the little girl's heart when she realized that she was the subject in the note her teacher was reading.
People ask me why I teach, why I've always wanted to teach. I know I'm supposed to say that I love kids, and I want to share, and help them grow and all that too nice-smiley stuff, but really, most of the time, it's that history doesn't repeat itself.

We're always keeping an eye on the latest digital developments, and this week kicked off with four stories that highlight just how quickly the digital revolution is progressing.
We start off in one of the last bastions of the non-digital: the bookshop. The neatly stacked shelves holding row upon row of reading material, the well-read staff, the quietly intellectual atmosphere. And now, in recognition of e-readers, a dedicated digital area and free wi-fi access. At least that's the case in Waterstones, which is going to sell Amazon's Kindle book reader. Waterstones is embracing digital while it seems Amazon is getting a slice of the high-street audience.
From books to newspapers next. The Newspaper Marketing Agency has rebranded as Newsworks in recognition of the fact that the old language of press and paper doesn't fit any more.
Looking even further into the future, it appears that 3D gesture control technology is starting to go mainstream. The FT has blogged about the launch of a new gesture-control device that allows touch-typing or even playing a piano in the air. In the future, the FT says that finger and hand movements could reduce the need for a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen.

UF's Powell making NFL jump
Published: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 11:33 a.m.
Ronald Powell's amazing comeback story has taken another positive turn. The Florida junior outside linebacker/defensive end has declared for the NFL draft, the school announced.
Powell was one of the Gators' most productive defensive players last season after undergoing two ACL surgeries in the previous year.
He led UF with four sacks, had eight quarterback hurries and was second on the team with seven tackles for loss. For his career, the former high school player of the year recorded 84 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.
"This hasn't been an easy decision for him," UF coach Will Muschamp said of Powell. "I talked to him several times over the holidays, but it was important for him to come back and look me in the eye and tell me what he wanted to do and why he wanted to do it.
"It's one of the great experiences as a coach to watch young players mature. It's been well documented the hardships he has had to overcome and he has always kept a positive attitude. I wish him the best of luck and, as I've said before, I encouraged him to return to get his degree."
Powell is the third UF junior to declare for the draft, joining cornerbacks Marcus Roberson and Loucheiz Purifoy. Defensive tackle Dominique Easley, who also had a year of eligibility remaining, also is entering the draft.
With Powell leaving, UF now has 25 scholarships available for the 2014 class. The Gators have 20 commits.

Andreu's Answers: No room for UF to run against Miami
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
Before every game, veteran college football writer Robbie Andreu comes up with five pertinent questions and then answers them after the game. Here's Week 2:
1. What kind of impact will Florida tailback Matt Jones have in his first game back from a viral infection?
He made some tough inside yards, but there really wasn't much space in the running game for him or Mack Brown. Jones carried the ball 18 times and gained only 47 yards for a 2.6 yard average. The only spectacular play he was involved in was when he lost a fumble in the first quarter that led to an easy UM touchdown and great early momentum for the Hurricanes. Will Muschamp said Jones had gotten plenty of contact in practice, and that was not the reason for the fumble.
2. Will the Gators be able to hold Miami's Duke Johnson to less than 100 yards rushing?
To do the job the defense did on Johnson and to not win the game — its going to be hard for everyone, especially the defensive players, to file away. The Gators gave up some early yards to Johnson, then owned him for the rest of the game. He gained only 59 yards on 21 carries and had a long run of only 12 yards. He averaged only 2.8 yards a carry, something not many defenses are going to be able to do against this explosive playmaker.
3. Can the Gators hit some plays in the downfield passing game?
One of the bright sides on offense (and for QB Jeff Driskel) was the fact the Gators did make more happen down the field in their passing game than they have in quite some time. Driskel threw for a career-high 291 yards, and Solomon Patton and Quinton Dunbar both made receptions deep in the UM secondary. Patton had a diving 46-yard reception in the first half and Dunbar had a 32-yard catch in the second. The downfield passing game wasn't the problem this time. It was the ineffective passing game (and offense in general) in the red zone that doomed the Gators.
4. UF will be facing more of a classic drop-back passer. Can the Gators bring some steady heat against Stephen Morris?
Morris had plenty of time to deliver those two touchdown passes in the first quarter — a 7-yarder to Herb Waters and the 52-yarder to Phillip Dorsett — but then the Gators knocked him out of rhythm for the rest of the game with a combination of pressure and tight coverage. The Gators sacked him only once (Ronald Powell), but affected him many times with their pressure.
5. Will the Gators continue to hurt themselves with penalties?
On top of the turnovers and the red-zone blunders, the Gators again hurt themselves with penalties. They were penalized 10 times for 70 yards, including some critical holding penalties that set the offense back. When your offense is struggling to sustain drives, penalties can be deadly, and that's what we saw again at times Saturday. Penalties have been an ongoing problem.

HOUSTON - Two people were missing and 11 were injured after an explosion and fire on an oil drilling platform off the coast of Louisiana Friday, Coast Guard officials said.
The fire, which began while workers were using a torch to cut an oil line, critically injured at least four workers who suffered burns over much of their bodies.
The Coast Guard received a mayday call at 8:42 a.m. from a shallow water platform in the Gulf of Mexico about 25 miles southeast of Grand Isle, La.
"The fire is contained and the rig employees fought the fire," said Deano Bonano, executive assistant to Councilman Chris Roberts. The fire was extinguished by 11:30 a.m.
"Our focus right now is searching for those two people who are missing," said Capt. Ed Cubanski, a spokesman for the Coast Guard. Boats and helicopters joined the search.
Twenty-six people were on the rig at the time of the fire. Eleven people were airlifted to hospitals. At least four were hospitalized with critical burns, but the extent of the injuries was not released.
Contract construction workers were using an acetylene torch to cut a 3-inch line and the torch sparked the explosion, according to officials.
"The line that was cut was supposed to be cut with a cold-cutting device, a non-sparking device. Apparently the crew used a cutting torch," said John Hoffman, president and CEO of Black Elk Energy. "If you're going to use a cutting torch, you use completely different procedures."
Oil industry expert Bob Cavnar agreed.
"When you are going to cut a line that has live oil in it, you block that line off," Cavnar said. "You tag it to show that it's off, then you clean that line either with steam or some other kind of cleaning agent before you cut into it with a torch."
Hoffman said the crew was doing some construction work before the platform was scheduled to come back online later this month.
The platform is not drilling at a deepwater site like the Macondo well that blew out in 2010. That blowout led to an explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
"This is a shallow water rig and much easier to cap off," Bonano.
The Coast Guard said the area is 56 feet deep.
"The maximum amount of product that could have been in that line was 75 gallons. It was a non-production platform at the time," Cubanski said. "As of right now, they are reporting an oil sheen one-half mile long by 200 yards."
Officials said the platform appeared to be structurally sound.
The rig is a production platform owned by Black Elk Energy, headquartered in Houston. Black Elk Energy's website said it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms. Black Elk Energy is a relatively new oil and gas company, founded in 2007. Local 2 Investigates checked the company's safety record and found only one previous accident, according to the Department of the Interior.
In February 2011, a fire started on a platform operated by Black Elk Energy, located more than 100 miles off the Texas coast south of High Island. It started in an old battery charging station that platform workers thought had been disabled. Investigators concluded the charging station was still hooked up and one of the batteries shorted out. Battery fluid caught fire, scorching the surrounding area. The fire was put out with handheld extinguishers and there were no injuries or evacuations. After the accident, Black Elk Energy inspected all batteries being used on the platform and made changes to how they were stored.
The fire actually started in an area of the platform leased by a third party. Investigators documented less than $1,000 in damage and there were no penalties or government sanctions levied against the company.

Did you know?
The Sabi Sand is the oldest private game reserve in South Africa, formally declared in 1948.
A lioness has just finished weaning her cubs, and because she is alone for once, she is clearly relishing her own company. The sun is setting over the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve as she washes her face like a giant tabby cat, yawns, stretches and goes to look for her cubs and the rest of her pride.
A group of tourists sits enthralled in an open game-viewing vehicle, breathing in the lioness' rank scent, mingled with that of wild sage crushed beneath the wheels, listening to the ranger explaining lion behaviour in a quiet undertone. Meanwhile, the tracker scans the ground for other big-game spoor.
Perhaps they'll be lucky enough to find a leopard stashing her kill in a tree tonight; or see jackals bounce through the high grass as they pursue invisible rodents, oblivious to the ranger's spotlight.
What is certain is that later they'll find themselves around a sheltered campfire being served a delectable dinner, with some of South Africa's best wines to hand. At night they'll lie down on the finest linen, hearing the eerie whoop of hyena in the distance, perhaps the child-like cry of a bush baby, and almost certainly, the roaring of lions.
This is the allure of the south-western boundary of the Kruger National Park, and is therefore also part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. The 50km fence that once divided the Sabi Sand from the Kruger is long gone, and wild animals, including the Big Five, move back and forth along their old migration routes.
The origins of the reserve (now about 65 000ha) date back to the 1920s, when a number of people held hunting concessions there in the dry winter months. Later on, this became an association of freehold landowners.
The fact that two perennial rivers (after which the reserve is named) flow through it means that the area offers excellent wildlife viewing all year round. Some of South Africa's finest luxury game lodges are found here – some of the the best known include Sabi Sabi, Mala Mala, Singita, Londolozi, Ulusaba, Chitwa Chitwa, Idube, Lion Sands, Exeter and Djuma.
They all offer individual attention, privacy, outstanding cuisine and luxurious accommodation, while the décor is often breathtaking. Some of the lodges offer spas with masseurs, aromatherapy and reflexology.
In addition, the guides at the lodges know every inch of their areas. They can often take you right to rare leopard sightings or to where wild dogs have hidden their pups in dens.
Incidentally, the only hunting these days is done with a camera...
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Sabi Sand Game Reserve
Tel: +27 (0)13 735 5102
Email: email@example.com
How to get here
From Johannesburg, you can fly via Federal Air, a charter shuttle service, to many of the lodges, which have their own airfields. You can also hop onto a shuttle from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport near Mbombela (Nelspruit).
Airlink has daily flights to Mala Mala's airstrip, which adjoins the Sabi Sand Reserve.
If you're travelling by road, take the N4 eastwards from Johannesburg or Pretoria to Nelspruit, taking the R40 northwards to Hazyview via White River. Depending on the entrance gate you are using, your road trip will take between five and seven hours.
Best time to visit
Each season has its particular delights. Early spring and summer (August to November) offer great game viewing (including baby animals) because the grass is still low and the animals are concentrated around waterholes before the rains. Winter months (April to August) are also good for game viewing and much more temperate than high summer (December to March), which can be oppressively hot.
Around the area
You're very close to the Kruger National Park, and not far from other attractions like the Blyde River Canyon, God's Window and a plethora of scenic waterfalls.
Get around
You'll be transported in lodge game-viewing vehicles once you arrive.
What will it cost
The various lodges have their own rates.
Length of stay
At least two nights to give yourself a decent chance of seeing the Big Five, and to relax into the rhythm of things.
What to pack
It's not compulsory to wear khaki all the time, but while on game drives, refrain from fluorescent colours or bright white. Bring binoculars and cameras with all the batteries and memory cards you'll need. In winter bring warm clothes for night time (the days are mild), sun block, a hat and insect repellent.
What's happening
Activities include game viewing, night drives, birding (there are at least 300 bird species) and game walks. Because there is a high ratio of staff to guests, lodges can often tailor-make activities for you.

Medical Needs/Social Needs Registry Launched by Fairfax County
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Contact: Merni Fitzgerald, Director of Public Affairs

Medical Needs/Social Needs Registry Launched by Fairfax County
Fairfax County launched the Special Needs Registry this week as part of National Preparedness Month activities. The registry has two distinct categories: the Medical Needs Registry and the Social Needs Registry. The online registry is intended to allow residents with medical needs and organizations assisting those with social needs to provide Fairfax County with information so that the county can communicate information about emergency preparedness, response and recovery resources to vulnerable, at-risk and hard-to-reach residents.
The Medical Needs Registry will contain the names and addresses
of individuals with medical needs who have a high-risk health condition
that is either temporary or chronic and who cannot manage for
themselves in a shelter or evacuation center; will require assistance
in performing the activities of daily living; and/or will require care
for and the monitoring of a health condition. The Medical Needs
Registry is voluntary and all information collected will be kept
confidential and stored on secure Fairfax County servers.
- The Social Needs Registry is a tool used by Fairfax County to facilitate access to groups in need of specialized communications and/or transportation during an emergency. People with social needs are individuals who are vulnerable, at-risk or hard-to-reach in the event of an emergency but are not medically dependent. This includes people with disabilities, limited language proficiency, public transportation dependent and/or household pets and service animals. The nature of the assistance provided to those people will be determined by the individual, the emergency and the resources available to the county. Organizations assisting those with special needs should register with Fairfax County to ensure the safety and well-being of these individuals in an emergency.
The registry may be used for any emergency requiring evacuation, such as flooding, hurricanes, hazardous material spills and gas leaks. This information will be available to emergency planners and will facilitate the county's preparedness, response and recovery efforts. However, those who are on the registry should still call 9-1-1 in the event of a life-threatening situation.
"In addition to registering, we also encourage individuals and families to have emergency plans and emergency preparedness kits in place," said John Hudson, special needs coordinator with the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management. Your emergency kit should include a three-day supply of food and water, flashlight, extra batteries, medications, in addition to other items that might be needed. Residents with medical needs also should make preparations and have a plan to be self-reliant for three days.
During a major crisis or emergency, Fairfax County uses the award winning Community Emergency Alert Network (CEAN) to deliver important emergency alerts, notifications and updates. Fairfax County government offers the Medical Needs Registry, the Social Needs Registry and the CEAN as a public service. The registry and CEAN will be used in conjunction with other public notification methods such as Fairfax County Government Channel 16, the Fairfax County Web site, the Fairfax County Emergency Information Line (703-817-7771, TTY 711) and area media.
To register online visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/specialneeds. Residents may also request registration materials by phone or mail. Call 703-324-9000, TTY 703-324-9001, or write to the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 565, Fairfax, VA 22035 for more information.

Hipp's new producing director hopes to bridge the arts and business
Published: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
The Hippodrome Theatre's new producing director has extensive business experience, such as in development and planning, sales and marketing, startups, and venture capital markets — and he's also an actor.
Thomas Eldon Anderson
Age: 55
Occupation: Producing director, Hippodrome Theatre
Personal: Married to actress Cristine McMurdo-Wallis
Pets: Winston Beauxzeaux, a tuxedo kitty
Dream partners for lunch: Thomas Jefferson, Anton Chekhov, Winston Churchill, Billy Shakespeare
Last book read: "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink
Favorite book: "The Mask of Apollo: A Novel" by Mary Renault
Favorite TV shows: All PBS dramas, "The West Wing," "Homeland," "Slings and Arrows"
What's playing in his car: NPR or XM Classical, blues, jazz
Hobbies: Gardening, birding, golf, cooking
Education: B.A., cultural anthropology, Ithaca College; master of fine arts, theater, Southern Methodist University
But Thomas Eldon Anderson doesn't view the arts and business as mutually exclusive.
Calling the Hipp "a crown jewel of Gainesville," Anderson said he will be an ambassador of the arts to the business community and an ambassador of the business community to the arts.
"(It's) a position that I relish," he said. "One of the things I specialize in is building the bridges."
Anderson's predecessor, Mary Hausch, was the theater's only producing director — for 40 years — until she retired when Anderson came aboard on Oct. 8.
Michael Curry, chairman of the search committee charged with filling the Hipp's top post, said they needed to find someone with a unique skill set.
"And Tom really fit the bill. … I knew first and foremost the Hipp is a complicated and complex business," said Curry, who was also recently named chairman of the board.
Anderson moved to Gainesville from Baton Rouge, La., with his wife, professional actress Cristine McMurdo-Wallis. Before coming to Gainesville, Anderson was interim executive director and director of corporate and government development at the Stephenson Disaster Management Institute at Louisiana State University.
The couple also lived here for a time in the 1990s, when Anderson acted in three productions at the theater.
"All of (the productions) are treasured artistic memories of mine," Anderson said.
Another treasured memory from that time is his first romantic getaway with his wife at a bed and breakfast in Micanopy.
Instead of acting or directing, Anderson, who also worked in state and federal government, will spend his first few months on the job gathering information to chart a new course for the theater.
Anderson is conducting a series of "SWOT: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats" analyses, which he called non-threatening opportunities to collectively discuss these subjects.
In addition to the staff, board members and stakeholders also will participate in the SWOT analysis, Anderson said.
The Hipp employs 30 part-time and full-time employees and 13 interns, plus actors and contractors.
Anderson credited Hausch for the quality of the theater staff.
"Everyone here is really top of their game," Anderson said. "My God, I've got a hell of a team."
The theater has more than 110 business partner sponsors, said Jessica Hurov, director of communications. "The sense of trust they have in us… And I think (Anderson) being here will only deepen that."
The producing director's job includes marshaling resources and fundraising, said board chair Curry, who also stressed the importance of underwriting with endowments.
Anderson spoke of artistic director Lauren Caldwell's particular talents, such as her vision, passion and ability to tease audiences.
"That's the art that I'm so proud to advocate on behalf of," Anderson said.
In January 2014, Anderson will present a three- to five-year strategic plan to the board of directors. The Hipp will launch capital campaigns in September 2014.
"We need to engage the broader community in our future," the producing director said.
Anderson is also working on a book, "Crisis of Imagination: Why Reducing our Commitment to the Arts and Arts Education is a Threat to Our Economy and National Security," which will include material from contributors.
Anderson said he found the producing director position on Artsearch, a job board for the industry, this past winter.
"I saw this, and I had this flash sitting there in front of the computer," Anderson said. He envisioned his memories of the Hipp and Micanopy.
"I have never wanted a job more," Anderson said. "And I think I'm the luckiest man in the world."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo Director of Athletics Francis X. Reidy has named Martin Parkes the acting head coach for the men's tennis program and Sarah Summerfield the acting head coach for the women's tennis program, it was announced Saturday afternoon.
Both coaches, who have served as graduate assistant coaches for the programs since August of 2013, are taking over nationally ranked tennis teams who have visited the regional tournament three times each in the last six years.
"After much analysis we determined it was best for us to wait until May to name a permanent coach," said Reidy of the coaching appointments. "What made this decision easy was that we have two very talented coaches to step in and assume the roles of acting head coaches for each program."
Parkes, who volunteered with the Lions' programs for two years as an assistant coach prior to becoming a full-time graduate assistant, is not new to the coaching sphere. He brings over 15 years of coaching experience to the program, most recently serving as the Saddlebrook International Tennis Academy ITF Team head coach, where he worked with numerous top world ranking juniors. In addition, Parkes worked as a freelance performance coach with the Lawn Tennis Association National training center in Yorkshire (2003-06), at the Ilkley Tennis Club, the David Lloyd Leisure Club and the Heaton Tennis Club (1999-2006). He also spent two seasons (1999-2001) as the Leeds University women's tennis head coach.
Prior to his coaching career, Parkes competed at the Division I Campbell University where he was named captain and Most Valuable Player during his senior season.
Though new to Saint Leo, acting head women's coach Sarah Summerfield brings a wealth of knowledge to the tennis programs.
In addition to competing as a finalist at the Memphis Indoor Southern Open and being ranked 220nd in the USTA Top 500 National List, Summerfield competed at the Division I University of Wyoming where she was the winningest player for singles in Wyoming's state history. Summerfield also served as her team's number one singles player a team captain, and a S.A.A.C. representative for her athletic department. She has seen much success as the regional and national level of Division I athletics.
"Martin Parkes, who has been with us for three years, and Sarah Summerfield are both capable leaders who are ready for this challenge," added Reidy. "The players were very excited about the announcement of the coaching decisions and we are all looking forward to a great season this spring."

DETROIT - If you made a resolution to lose weight in 2013, one study suggests you should ask yourself what is more important in the process, the food you eat or the amount of exercise you get.
According to research conducted by the University of Michigan the beliefs we hold are an important predictor to future weight gain or loss.
Experts say that people who think over eating is the cause of weight gain will eat less food.
Not surprisingly than, people who think exercise is the key to dropping weight will strive to work out more.
Researchers looked at five countries on three continents and the results suggested that people mainly pick one or the other rational.
The problem with this logic, most people who simply choose to work out more often calculate the wrong ratio of calories needed to burned off the food they are eating.
For example, the study says a 580 calories would take an average person four hours to walk off.
Exercise can help reduce weight if calorie intake also decreases says co-author of the study Anirban Mukhopadhyay.
Mukhopadhyay says people who believe that exercise rather than diet is to blame for being overweight will have a higher body mass than those who feel food is the cause.

Corn futures continued their Wednesday night slide through much of Thursday morning. The persistent weakness was quite surprising when viewed within the context of the weekly USDA Export Sales report. It stated both 2012/13 and 2013/14 sales totals above forecast ranges, which in many circumstances might give the yellow grain market a significant boost. Having the soybean market dip to 10 month lows may have discouraged bulls. May corn fell 6.75 cents to $6.3475/bushel late Thursday morning, while December dipped 2.0 cents to $5.375.
The weekly USDA Export Sales report also seemed quite supportive of soybean futures, but soybean futures had declined rather substantially by late morning. New crop sales were stated toward the upper end of pre-report forecasts, but the old crop result at 392,700 tonnes easily topped the forecast range (between 0 and 200,000). The improving South American situation is probably a bearish factor, but we would also point out that forecasts for persistently wet, cold weather over the Corn Belt may already be shifting planted acreage from corn to soybeans this spring. May soybeans dropped 11.25 cents to $13.69/bushel around mid-session Thursday, while May soyoil dove 0.66 cents to 48.49 cents/pound, and May meal lost $2.6 to $395.4/ton.
Wheat futures were quite mixed Thursday morning, with the Chicago and Minneapolis markets easily outperforming those in Kansas City. Talk of domestic weather and crop conditions seemingly made traders forget the export report. That is, improvements in production prospects apparently depressed winter wheat prices (KC) and deferred prices at the other two exchanges. Only nearby old crop spring wheat futures had risen as lunchtime loomed. May CBOT wheat futures edged upward 1.25 cent to $6.9525/bushel in late Thursday morning trading, while May KCBT wheat sank 9.0 cents to $7.2625 and May MGE futures slid 1.0 cent to $7.905.
Belated news that country cattle had traded Wednesday at levels quite comparable with those seen last week seemingly weighed upon CME cattle futures Thursday morning. Fed cattle reportedly traded at 128.00 cents/pound in the Panhandle and Kansas regions yesterday, thereby matching higher quotes from last week. Most traders were probably expecting a weekly rise, as well as sustained wholesale strength this morning. Beef cutout values were only slightly changed from Wednesday. June cattle slumped 0.42 cents to 122.77 cents/pound just before lunchtime Thursday, while December tumbled 0.45 cents to 129.10. May feeder cattle futures lost 0.17 cents to 146.40 cents/pound, and August declined 0.20 cents to 153.30.
Hog futures were mixed again Thursday morning. News that the CME lean hog index, which futures cash-settle against, jumped 1.05 cents Tuesday and is likely to be quoted another 1.02 cents highs when the official Wednesday quote is released tomorrow, very likely boosted the expiring April contract. Weakness spilling over from the cattle pit seemed to depress deferred futures, but an eight-cent jump in fresh pork belly prices on the late-morning wholesale report could offer considerable support over the short term. The lightly traded May contract dropped 0.52 cents to 89.62 cents/pound in late Thursday morning trading, while June slipped 0.05 cents to 92.42.

Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington
March 25, 2014
Actors Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana have officially signed on to reprise their roles in all three of the upcoming sequels to James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, according to an announcement made by FOX (via Deadline).
Worthington stars as Jake Sully, the disabled space Marine who is able to find a new life for himself on the planet Pandora through the use of a high-tech mind-swap technology that lets him live inside the body of a Na'vi, which are the native humanoids that live on the planet. Saldana will return as the Na'vi Neytiri, the love interest of Sully.
While the sequels do not officially have titles yet, they are set to shoot back-to-back. FOX is looking to begin the films at the end of 2014, with a planned release date of December 2016 for the first sequel.

Mary-Lynn Cesar, Kapitall: New technology is leading to more sustainable clothing companies. Will this become an industry standard?
DuPont (DD) released its third quarter earnings on Tuesday. Increased operating earnings year-over-year in nearly every segment helped the chemical giant rebound from its second quarter decline, with a profit of $0.45 a share.
[Read more on Sustainability from Kapitall: Is Your Portfolio Melting the Polar Ice Caps]
In the company's Industrial Biosciences' unit, high sales of renewably sourced fiber Sorona drove the segment's operating profit up 12.5% from the third quarter of 2012. Made with "rapidly renewable" materials, Sorona is a biopolymer used to create sustainable carpeting and apparel.
By substituting corn-derived glucose for the petrochemical ingredient used in petroleum-based materials, Sorona production consumes 30% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 63%, in comparison to production of an equivalent amount of nylon.
The fiber blends easily with others, and its composition allows apparel manufacturers to dye fabric blends at lower temperatures. This drives down energy consumption even more – lowering the dyeing process's environmental impact.
Making green look good
Just as Sorona enables manufacturers to create sustainable garments, Nike's (NKE) MAKING app aims to help clothing designers integrate sustainability into their work. Launched this summer in the Apple Store, MAKING collects Nike's own ratings for a material's Chemistry, Energy/Greenhouse Gas Intensity, Water/Land Intensity, and Physical Waste.
It then combines them to provide a holistic sustainability score for consumers and designers alike. Developed over the course of seven years of research, Nike hopes that the new app will help designers make "better choices" with regards to their supply chains.
Investing ideas
Nike is one of many prominent brands to have publicly expressed a desire to reduce their environmental impact. A look at Google trends for "sustainable brands" over the last 9 years shows that the term is rising in worldwide search interest.
With that in mind, we decided to look for some textile and apparel stocks with a commitment to the environment.
To create the list below, we began with a universe comprised of textile and apparel stocks. We then narrowed down that group with the help of CSRHub, a database for corporate social responsibility that awards companies scores in different categories.
We only included companies with environmental scores above 50. Scores on CSRHub are converted into a rating from 0-100, with 100 being the most positive.
Finally, we looked for companies with encouraging accounts receivable trends as indicated by faster growth in revenue than accounts receivable year-over-year, as well as accounts receivable comprising a smaller portion of current assets over the same time period.
Accounts receivable is the portion of revenue not yet received, and since there is no guarantee that a company will actually get the money, the smaller the portion of revenue attributable to receivables, the healthier the company's revenue.
We were left with three apparel stocks on our list.For an interactive version of this chart, click on the image below. Do you think these environmentally conscious companies are promising investments? Use this list as a starting point for your own analysis.

Here at the CBI's climate change summit, most of the anger towards government has centred on the changes to the carbon reduction commitment (CRC), which has seen money originally earmarked for businesses with good environmental performances going to the Treasury instead. The BBC's Roger Harrabin summed up the feeling in the room when he described it as the government "nicking your CRC dividend".
So business leaders are relieved to hear Chris Huhne, the energy secretary, make some concessions today. Here's what he said:
Today we have published a UK-wide consultation on delaying the start of Phase II of CRC. This means that participants won't need to register for Phase II until 2013.

Tangalooma Jetty clean-up dive and fundraiser
-27.181096, 153.371598
This Halloween, divers will be gearing up for a clean-up dive at the famous Tangalooma Jetty! A dive with a difference... all divers will be diving in FANCY DRESS- as their favourite marine animal!
The legendary Jetty is where a family of inshore bottlenose dolphins visit every night, to be given by guests their favourite food- fish! This is closely monitored by our on-island Marine Education Centre, who provide in depth coverage of the dolpin feed programme throughout. As fishing is a popular activity on the Jetty, fishing line is the main debris we will be retrieving, but as a busy arrival and departure point for thousands of guests each week we will be sure to find something interesting!
To raise funds, we will be holding a breakfast barbie for guests and staff arriving and departing. Around this we also plan to display the rubbish we collect during the clean up dive, as well as having posters/brochures and other info about marine debris and how we can help
So if your near Brisbane, hop on the ferry this thursday and help us out!!

THE Countess of Wessex was welcomed to the New Forest Show ground recently.
Her Royal Highness attended a meeting to encourage more young people to get involved with the running of the popular show.
Denis Dooley, New Forest and Hampshire County Show secretary, said: "We were delighted that the Countess was able to meet with our next generation committee and support the future of our show society.
"We were honoured that she has shown an interest in the committee and the future of our organisation."
The Earl and Countess of Wessex visited the show in 2013 where they attended the grand parade and watched the heavy horse musical drive as well as visiting other areas of the showground.
Jenna Bessant, chairman of the next generation committee, added: "The next generation committee was delighted and privileged for the chance to not only meet the Countess, but for her to be able to join in with our committee meeting.
"This was a fantastic opportunity for us, as a new group to highlight the role of the young people who are becoming involved with the show and the need for them to learn valuable skills from other stewards and committee members.
"The fact Her Royal Highness is interested in what we are doing speaks volumes and her input into the meeting was invaluable."
The show will be held at New Park, Brockenhurst on July 29, 30, and 31.

PIMF (Php Is My Framework) is a micro framework for PHP that emphasises minimalism and simplicity. It is based on proven design patterns and a fast object relational mapping mechanism, and is designed to be easily updated without having to rewrite your projects. It includes mechanisms for easily coupling controllers to ExtJs and Dojo.
Adianti Framework provides an architecture for developing PHP applications, reducing development costs, and helping developers write less code. It is a component-based and event-driven framework which uses commonly-known enterprise design patterns like MVC (Model View Controller), Front Controller, and ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) design patterns like Active Record and Repository. It provides two different widget toolkits, one for Web applications (HTML/CSS) and another for graphical applications (with a Graphical User Interface) which uses Gtk internally. The developer can write one set of code, and it can run in a Web environment and also as a graphical application.
Elefant is a full-featured, but refreshingly simple CMS and PHP Web framework. It features an intuitive, streamlined admin interface, a tightly integrated WYSIWYG editor, dynamically embeddable content objects for building dynamic Web sites without touching code, and an extremely fast, secure, and flexible framework for add-ons and themes. The core CMS includes page editing, a blogging engine, site navigation, file and user management, automatic version control, a tool for translators and multilingual site management, and an in-browser theme/layout editor. It is also extensively documented and has a small but friendly and active developer community.
Shield UI Chart is feature rich and facilitates the creation of visually impressive charts and sharp graphics. The Chart control has many built-in features, which cover many of the common data visualization scenarios. The control is lightweight and fast. This allows for combining visual appeal and responsiveness with little code. It offers fast support, including developer expertise. This will ensure timely completion of your projects.
Ding is a PHP framework that provides dependency injection (by Setter, Constructor, and Method), Aspect Oriented Programming, XML, YAML, Events support, and some JSR 250/330 annotations as bean definition providers, lightweight, can be deployed as a PHAR file, simple, and quick MVC, syslog, TCP client and server with non-blocking sockets, timers, and custom error, signal, and exception handling, PAGI integration (for the Asterisk gateway interface), and PAMI integration (for Asterisk management). It is similar to Java's Seasar and Spring.
PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.
SCMS is an MVC based secure content management system. It is designed from the ground up to withstand common Web application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, session fixation/hijacking, and many others. It is designed for PHP 5.0-5.2.x and MySQL 4.1+, and it can optionally support PostgreSQL as a database backend.

>General Running>Cadence Training
CPT Curmudgeon
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.
Roads were made for journeys...
I am a solid believer in stride rate drills. While distance is very dependent on "getting in miles" (i.e., building endurance), improving your running form will allow you to run faster (and safer) while using the same effort. I'm not qualified to give a full explanation, but the published evidence is out there (both Pfitzinger and Daniels have written on the subject, if I recall correctly).
Besides, whats seems strange about stride rate being an important component of running efficiency? Surely its not a coincidence that virtually every elite runner happens to run at the same stride rate. And if you trust Pfitz to help you improve your "lactate threshold" and your "v dot", why would you think he's wrong about stride rate?
Abs of Flabs
I'm also curious as to how your physical makeup relates to cadence - won't the 6'4" guy taking 180 steps/minute go way faster and farther than 5'1" me unless I'm taking gigantanormous strides?
Again, the science is somewhat beyond me, but the following pae may give some insight -- http://mysite.verizon.net/jim2wr/id109.html.
Again, the science is somewhat beyond me, but the following pae may give some insight -- http://mysite.verizon.net/jim2wr/id109.html.
In summary, leg length (i.e., height) has a smaller kinetic impact on stride length than you might assume. In addition, any advantage that height might add to stride length is offset by the disadvantage of increased weight of the taller runner.
Form is not cadence. They may be related, but they are not the same. I have done form drills, I have done striders. Improvement of your overall form will of course make you more efficient, allowing you to maintain speed over a greater period of time. But you cadence is not QUITE the same thing.
Besides that, those are specific workouts designed with that specific purpose. Additionally, I don't think that Pfitzinger et al. specifically tell you to run with a metronome to work on cadence during your regular runs (I could be wrong, though, feel free to correct if I am). I know the math involved, the physics. I don't think the science behind it is voodoo, just the methodologies that some people are using.
Additionally, people are missing the other gains that could be made, mostly be increasing stride length along with it.
I was joking about the stride length action, btw... though I used to be a gymnast and I had to do split leaps across the floor. I do need to work some drills into my runs though.
I will say that when I worked on my cadence in cycling I did get faster - I had a series of cadence-based workouts I used in conjunction with a cadence meter on my bike. It led to a much more efficient pedal stroke for me, and thus, less energy being wasted. I used to be a masher. Again, not the same as running, but I do think about sometimes. I'm not sure if upping my run cadence would yield similar effects as my current run cadence is near the "optimal" rate, though it would be interesting to experiment with.
Now that was a bath...
I was looking to see if anyone specifically tried to hit a desired number or if they did some level of workout that has a specific goal of increasing stride rate.
I'm not trying to spark a distinct argument, more of a lively debate.

The Manchester City striker admitted to driving while disqualified and without insurance, and has also had his ban extended by six months and been fined £1000 in Macclesfield
The Argentine has also been handed another six month disqualification from driving and a fine of £1000.
Magistrate for the case Elizabeth Depares ruled that the 29-year-old "had served a significant proportion of his disqualification" when he was stopped by police, and as such a community penalty was preferable to a custodial sentence.
|Carlos Tevez is 11/1 with Coral to score two or more goals against Manchester United
Lewis added that it would be "highly unlikely" that Tevez would reoffend, and recommended that the magistrate impose a sentence of "unpaid work".
Tevez entered the guilty plea in Spanish via an interpreter after being stopped by police outside of Mottram Hall Hotel and Golf Club in Cheshire on March 7 following an anonymous tip-off.
When stopped, Tevez told the officer: "I only live down the road. Two minutes."

I don't typically presume to speak for Mor
But it had not been in Tess's power - nor is it in anybody's power - to feel the whole truth of golden opinions while it is possible to profit by them. She - and how many more - might have ironically said to God with Saint Augustine, "Thou hast counselled a better course than thou hast permitted."
O Lord our God, Who by word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every malady and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to this Your servant Rosehip and cure her of every sickness of which she is grieved; lift her up from her bed of pain, and send down upon her Your great mercy, and if it be Your Will, give to her health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - Central Michigan University announced Monday that it received a resignation letter, effective immediately, from the professor accused of possessing child pornography on a work computer.
The school announced Thursday that it has suspended William L. Merrill and barred him from the campus in Mount Pleasant pending the results of an investigation by law enforcement.
According to the university, its information technology employees found "inappropriate material" on Merrill's computer Monday, and it suspended him that day.
According to court records cited by The Morning Sun, a campus IT employee shut down the Internet connection to Merrill's computer because of a high volume of traffic that suggested the computer might have been taken over by outside hackers. Merrill contacted the IT staff when he couldn't get on the Net, and that led to the discovery of three videos of child pornography, the records said.
Isabella County prosecutors charged Merrill on Wednesday with distributing child pornography, possessing child pornography, and using a computer to commit a crime. He also was charged with possession of a switchblade. He had not yet been arraigned by Thursday.
