Every once in a while I come across a quote that makes so much sense I can't get it out of my head. Sometimes it reveals a new truth or illuminates a long-held one. Other times it makes good and plain something so logical, so sensible, so obvious that it's like a slap upside the head. Such was my impression of this Robert A. Heinlein quote mentioned by a commenter on Mike Eades blog [1]: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
I'm not intimately familiar with Mr. Heinlein's work (although I read Stranger in a Strange Land [2] and there is some dual meaning with my choice of Grok [3] as our main character), but this quote has been on my mind for the last few months. It stands on its own, I think, for pondering the force of specialization in our society and individual lives.
The fact is, specialization is as much a product of the Neolithic Age as farming was. Ten thousand years ago we started eating new things but we also saw a major revamping of social structure and human labor. Hunter-gatherers (ancient and present) knew nothing of specialization. It's inevitable that some folks in a band were better at certain things than others, but subsistence (and all the other basic necessities and pastimes of life) was the stuff of community obligation. Everyone contributed at some point or, well, you better go find yourself some other band to take advantage of.
As band oriented as hunter-gatherers [4] were, they were uncompromising individualists of a unique sort. (This interest in personal autonomy is a common reason many current hunter-gatherers stick with their foraging lifestyle instead of joining the surrounding agricultural and urban settings.) There was flux in hunter-gatherer band structure. People often came and went with the formation or dissolution of mating relationships, a falling out with other members, or with the natural shifts of seasonal resources [5]. Not everyone moved among groups, of course, but it happened. As long as you were fully and actively engaged in the band's survival and community while you were there, it worked out for everyone.
This flux as well as the inherent risk of hunter-gatherer life meant no one could afford to put all his/her eggs in one basket. If a band had one person who made spearheads, they were pretty much screwed if that person up and left one day to marry the beauty in the next band over or if he got torn apart by a hungry predator. It was crucial that each individual know the skills of survival – hunting strategies, terrain familiarity, plant cataloging, shelter construction, weather reading, cooking, child rearing, etc. They knew it as necessity and embraced it as cultural value.
Enter the Neolithic Age, with its focus on settled life, stored supplies, and larger, denser communities, and you have the start of a whole new ball game. Suddenly they were feeding and protecting a pretty massive group of people (relatively speaking for their time). Human social structure needed roles it never did before. Enter specialization. As Matt Ridley writes in The Agile Gene [6], we've been in a spiral ever since – a continuing interdependent cycle "whereby specialization increases productivity, which increases prosperity, which allows technological invention, which further increases specialization." Is the result progress? Yes and no – no and yes? Ridley quotes Robert Wright: "'Human history involve[s] the playing of ever more numerous, ever larger and ever more elaborate non-zero-sum games.'" That's one way to look at it.
Anthropologist Walter Goldschmidt suggests our shift from hunter-gatherer life and settlement in large communities has changed the way we fulfill our need for what he calls "affect hunger," the genetically based instinct we have to seek and create connection with others. For adults, Goldschmidt suggests, this hunger plays out two ways – "by belonging and by performance." The Neolithic Revolution and resulting specialization tipped the scale toward performance, he says. Our "peer group" is no longer our intimately known and reciprocally committed band members. It's more our "occupational colleagues." I enjoy and value my staff to be sure, but I don't know how I feel about that idea….
Is all this a "zero sum game," as Wright suggests? I don't know about the sum totals themselves. On the one hand, I'm grateful for the innovation and variety that specialization has made possible. Yet, I also ponder what's been lost.
The last two hundred years alone has ushered in mechanization and whole new layers of career specialization. We're definitely rewarded these days for specializing – for finding (or creating) a niche so tight and rare – that we can soak it for all its worth. Sure, it's good business practice – and for some lucky individuals their ultimate passion. I don't begrudge people their innovation and right to earn a living the best way they know how. I do wonder if the larger cultural force, however, undermines something of individual well-being.
In the 19th Century, John Ruskin wrote about the difference between the traditional artisans who in part designed the structures they built and the "modern" masons whose job it was to lay bricks in the same uniform pattern. We've lost something of that autonomy – often on an individual basis and largely on a cultural level. Not to stand in the way of progress, but I'd be lying if I didn't say something about it gives me pause.
It's not just about our professional endeavors of course. Our ancestors and even grandparents practiced life skills and arts that are quickly going the way of specialization. For better and worse, we outsource many of the chores and talents that they did as routine. On the one hand, we can say it has freed us up to make other choices with our time. Except, I remember my older relatives having plenty of personal hobbies, and I'm not sure we really have (or at least recognize) much more free time than our grandparents did decades ago.
As for my own lifetime career picture, I've never designed and built a gothic church like Ruskin's artisans, but I've had my share of variety. More than that, however, I've never felt hemmed in by my then-present job. Whatever I was doing for money at the time, I was always pursuing (by interest or flat-out necessity) other endeavors at home. I painted houses in my early days. I designed and made my own clothing for a while, made much of the furniture in my house at one point, acted as my own attorney (successfully), repaired my own cars, and built a restaurant (including the design and construction of a 60 foot salad bar that was refrigerated from underneath).
For me, everything I have done work-wise (or otherwise) has been a lesson in self-sufficiency as well as self-improvement. Although I occasionally cursed a few of the projects at the time, I love to look at my life now with the knowledge that there's very little I couldn't do if I really put my mind to it.
Sure, I also learned that I don't love doing some of these things even though I can do them. It's helped me prioritize my life and finances. Would I rather use my limited spare time building or fixing something as an expression of self-sufficiency or creativity? Sometimes. Or would I rather buy it or pay someone to fix it and then be in a position to use my time to play [7] or do nothing [8] simply because I now value that higher? Oftentimes, yes. That said, I'm not going to pay $9 for a mediocre serving of paleo jerky. I'm going to make it myself because, well, I like the result better and appreciate the fact I can do it for a fraction of the cost. Sometimes it's about principle. Other times, it's about simple preference. Good jerky, after all, is nothing to shake a stick at.
However, there are bigger themes here, I think. What does self-sufficiency mean to us? Although few of us would choose to make our lives alone in the wilderness, what about the pride and self confidence that comes with being able to do a whole mess of things – being a Jack or Jane of many trades or talents? Is that one of the (many) things that is leaving us feeling empty or unfulfilled in this age? How important is it to feel we can handle any situation life throws at us? A flat tire? A broken circuit or blown fuse or stopped toilet or downed Internet connection? A garden full of vegetables to be stored? A home full of children who need to be fed and clothed and cared for on a shoestring? A roof that needs replaced or a door that needs to be hung? How about a broken marriage, a lost job, an empty bank account? I'm wandering here, but I like the idea of an inner peace and calm that comes from being confident that we can handle anything and knowing that we are wired to be self-sufficient. As with many of CW's messages, we can too often get caught up in the pattern that tells us we should just give in and specialize, be content and productive within set roles. Maybe it's just the contrarian part of me coming out.
I guess in my world, this underscores the value of a true "liberal arts" and life education – which can start from formal education (e.g. college) but can also begin – and in either case – most richly unfolds within living itself, the design of one's personal efforts, followed interests, and creative initiative. For my part, I'd say this. One fine day when I have my own grandchildren, I want to have a whole host of tricks up my sleeve – never ending activities, stories, and how-tos. If they want a treehouse, I like the fact I'll have the knowhow – and the energy – to build it for them.
Thanks for reading today, everyone! Let me know what you think about specialization. When you look back on the things you've done in life (for money or love), what thoughts/lessons come to mind? How have certain jobs or hobbies changed you in ways only they could have?

Warhammer Game Update 1.01 was released on an unsuspecting waagh. Already the team at Mythic Entertainment has patched in the next major fix to their newly released title. The Warhammer Herald has full patch notes for Game Update 1.0.2, and it looks like they're adding in some fun new bells and whistles just a few weeks out of the starting gate. Here are the highlights:
- More anti-spammer measures! They're going to make it yet harder for all those spam-monkeys to do their jobs. When can we have a right-click-to-report feature?
- They are working to promote realm balance with (welcome) bribery. Some realms on some servers will now award their players with a +20% bonus to renown and experience! You'll be able to track this on the Herald's server list, and those bonuses will only last until balance is achieved.
- They've added in a debilitating debuff and auto-kick for folks that choose to go afk in Scenario starting areas. Thank goodness! Dang freeloaders.

Were you to see them on the street, you would see four attractive women. And, were you to exchange a word, your day would brighten at their kind, cheerful greetings.
Yet, a little more than two years ago, you would never have seen TC in public ... unless you were haunting a grocery store in the dead of night. And you may never have seen D had she had her way one desperate night.
"I had isolated myself in my house for a little over two years," TC said. "I didn't speak to anybody. I don't have cable, no phone, no Internet. I was completely isolated from the world. I would only go outside after dark and, then, only to the store to get the things I needed."
She had slipped into deep depression and was suffering suicidal thoughts.
D and TC, along with H and CR, are just four of the individuals from our community whose lives have returned to varying degrees of normalcy because of the assistance they have received from Six County Inc. Guernsey Counseling Center, Alcohol and Drug Services of Guernsey County or Thompkins Child and Adolescent Center.
(Because of the stigma often associated with seeking counseling help, we are referring to these clients by their initial or initials.)
"In 2011, I had an overdose, an attempted suicide," D said. "I was dealing with many personal issues. I was feeling low about my self-esteem, myself as a person. When I woke up from being on a ventilator for three days, I was referred to Six County for counseling and medication."
That referral was a lifesaver, she said.
The lifeline for CR proved to be Alcohol and Drug Services of Guernsey County.
"It was a bad time in my life," she said. "I had recently lost my job. My mother had passed away. I've always been a drinker -- I was raised Irish Catholic in which drinking every day was the norm.
"But, at that particular time, it escalated to where I was getting drunk every day, which finally led to just a total breakdown."
She was to the point where she couldn't help herself. And that was when her husband stepped in and took the initiative. He contacted Margo Johnston at Alcohol and Drug Services and Johnston got CR in for counseling.
"I don't think I could have made it through that time without God, counseling and my church. It was a horrible time in my life -- horrible."
A pair of agencies -- Six County and Thompkins Child and Adolescent Center -- came to the aid of HC whose association with them began in 1997 after she had been raped while in an abusive relationship.
"Going to Six County helped me get through a lot of the pain and questions that I had in my head: Was it my fault, or his? What could I have done to prevent it?"
She uses the Thompkins Center now to help her deal with things that still arise sometimes.
"They are teaching me different skills to help me get through any kind of trigger that might come up," she said. "My counselor goes to great measures to find different things that might work for me. They go above and beyond for their clients because they want us to succeed. They want us to get well."
No matter which counselor of the three agencies steps in, he or she sees each client as an individual, realizing that the program needs to be tailored to the particular client. Various approaches work to different degrees for different clients.
Consider D's experience. The counseling, the medications, the monitoring helped.
"They referred me to the outpatient groups," she said. "In the past, I had had some counseling and had had some meds. But I had never had the one-on-one with other people who were going through the same thing I was going through.
"So I would say that having access to those groups was the most valuable for my recovery. That was the turning point for me."
CR also believes the help she received saved her life.
"They helped me pull my life back together," she said. "My marriage is stronger than it has ever been. I always said I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired ... and I haven't said that in four years.
"It's a life-changing event. When you're ready to change your life, it will."
(EDITOR'S NOTE -- Voters of Guernsey County will have the opportunity during the May 6 election to support the programs described above by approving an additional, 1-mill, 10-year levy for the operation of alcohol and drug addiction programs and mental health programs.)

CAP helps students dive into college
The free program at SFCC teaches students basic academics and college survival skills.
Published: Monday, August 1, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 1, 2005 at 12:34 a.m.
Sophia Jenkins hasn't slept past 8 a.m. in five weeks.
She studies math, English and reading in the morning and works in the afternoon.
With no time for trips to the beach or the mall, it sounds like this 18-year-old's summer vacation went horribly wrong.
Just don't tell her that.
"I've been given a wonderful opportunity to develop a career, possibly earn money for college and learn skills I'll need for the rest of my life," she said.
Jenkins is one of 54 students in the College Achievement Program (CAP) at Santa Fe Community College, a free program that teaches high school graduates basic math, English and college survival skills.
The six-week summer program works with students in Alachua and Bradford counties who are heading for SFCC in the fall and are "under-represented in the college environment," said Elizabeth O'Reggio, director of Santa Fe's Office of Diversity and CAP.
O'Reggio said there can be a variety of reasons a community college student might be considered "under-represented."
Often, they are minorities, students with financial needs, persons with disabilities or first-generation Americans, she said.
Survival skills
CAP, which started in 1984, focuses on giving them skills they will need to earn a degree in college, which will in turn help them achieve their career goals, she explained.
"We want to give them an edge by exposing them to the college environment and providing for a smoother transition to Santa Fe," she said.
The students brush up on their English, math and reading comprehension, which are the basic skills required for every career path, she said, but the most important part of the program for the incoming students is the college survival skills.
With lessons on test anxiety, time management and study skills, college becomes less scary, she said. The faculty also added a course in etiquette this year to help students understand how to interact with other students, professors and future employers.
"Many of the new students will be surprised at the tools they need that they didn't get in high school," O'Reggio said.
High school guidance counselors inform seniors of the program and line up interviews with SFCC faculty for students who would benefit from CAP.
Ralph Aiello, a guidance counselor at Santa Fe High School, said he recommends the program to any student who is targeted as unlikely to get a degree.
"Many students go to community college just thinking it's going to be the 13th grade," he said. "They might not have excelled in high school, and they head off to community college just because they think they should, but many are unaware of the work it takes."
CAP also offers something high schools do not have, Aiello said.
They teach them how to "navigate through college by giving them advice on what courses to take and how to earn a major," because they know how the college system works, he said.
The students also have a chance to earn several scholarships awarded during CAP's graduation ceremony on August 15, 2005.
The scholarships are based on overall performance and not financial need, O'Reggio said.
Constance Scott, a 19-year-old CAP student, said she's keeping her fingers crossed in hopes of winning the money.
However, the music education major said she got what she came for, scholarship or no scholarship.
"I would have been totally lost without this," she said.
"This is the first time I've understood things like grammar and math. They went to the bottom and worked their way up with us. Now I'm ready for college."
Language is key
Iris Rose Hart, an English professor and senior faculty member for CAP, said teaching the students about language and communication skills can only help launch their careers at SFCC.
"Everything - all classes, all work - needs language," she said, "and for students to have success, they need to be able to handle the language by reading and writing and speaking."
While many of the students may start CAP behind in several academic areas, they leave prepared for the fall semester because of the intensive nature of the six-week course, she said.
They take classes from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and participate in a "learning community," or a study session of their peers, professors and tutors, from 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
While some students struggle with academics, others might only need a confidence boost to survive on a college campus, said Deatra Spratling, the CAP reading instructor and an Alachua County teacher.
"Many of them are reluctant to venture out in college, but we try to build up their confidence so they have what it takes to succeed academically," she said. "We teach them to listen, take notes, use their notes, and if they don't understand something, we get that little, shy person to go ask for help and use the resources we have here at Santa Fe."
CAP and student resources are all provided for by the college, with students only having to pay-up their dwindling hours of summer vacation, Director O'Reggio said.
Trey Rapczak, an 18-year-old CAP enthusiast, said all the advice the program gave was worth every minute of his summer, though. "I can't believe how much I've loved it," he said. "They've helped us prepare for everything we'll find in college - social issues, academic problems, friends and relationships. I can't believe how much useful information I've gotten."

In March 2016, ASCI's Consumer Complaints Council (CCC) upheld complaints against 90 out of 156 advertisements. Out of 90 advertisements against which complaints were upheld, 32 belonged to the Education category, 30 in the Healthcare & Personal Care category, followed by 10 in the Food & Beverages category and 18 advertisements from other categories.
Health & Personal care
The CCC found the following claims in health care & personal care product or service advertisements of 30 advertisers to be either misleading or false or not adequately / scientifically substantiated and hence violating ASCI's code. Some of the health care products or services advertisements also contravened provisions of the Drug & Magic Remedies Act and Chapter 1.1 and III.4 of the ASCI Code. Complaints against the following advertisements were upheld:
Food & Beverages
The CCC found that claims by the following 32 advertisers were not substantiated and, thus, violated ASCI Guidelines for Advertising of Educational Institutions. Hence complaints against these advertisements were upheld.
Complaints against advertisements of all educational institutes listed below are mostly upheld because of unsubstantiated claims that they 'provide 100% placement/AND/OR they claim to be the No.1 in their respective fields'.

Cattle prices continue to disappoint both ranchers and feedyards. Demand for yearling feeder cattle held firm through late May and early June, but calf prices declined 5 percent. Average prices are $20 per hundredweight lower than last year.
Feedyard margins eroded throughout May, with losses expected through mid-summer. Packers saw their margins improve throughout the spring. The steer-corn ratio dropped 1.35 over the past month, but livestock producers are counting on a bumper corn crop to lower feeding costs and improve profitability. Pork and poultry production increased last month and retail prices declined, increasing beef's competition at the supermarket. Demand for beef remains sluggish, and retail beef prices held at relatively high levels.

A former Baton Rouge high school teacher turned education scholar said Friday that reforms of public education have mostly failed and will continue to fail until school leaders learn to "cage-bust" the constraints placed upon them and that they place on themselves.
Author of several books, Rick Hess is promoting a new one, "Cage-Busting Leadership," that was just published this month by the Harvard Education Press. The parent activist group Stand For Children organized the talk. Hess said he had already planned to be in Baton Rouge on Friday to talk to Louisiana Superintendent of Schools John White.
Hess, a scholar at the Washington, D.C-based conservative think tank, the American Enterprise Institute, said he is a supporter of charter schools, private school vouchers and alternative certification programs for teachers. He also said he is a fan of many of the controversial new education laws pushed the Louisiana Legislature last year by Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"A lot of things we think we can't do are things we can do if we're smart and strategic about the things we're doing," said Hess, speaking to an audience of about 50 people gathered Friday morning at the Louisiana Resource Center for Educators in Baton Rouge.
Hess said past reforms — school-based management, small high schools, he gave as examples — did not work that well because they ran aground when they were implemented, an area often ignored by activist groups. He said he worries that the same fate awaits Jindal's changes.
"I get hugely concerned that some of the policy changes will not change anything," Hess said.
Hess identified the main problem as the combination of restrictive rules enacted to deal with problems of yesteryear and perceived rules that people believe prevent action. He described these collectively as a "cage" that requires creative and daring leaders willing to break out of it.
Hess apparently has a history of fighting against constraints. He recalled two years he spent in the early 1990s as a brand new social studies teacher at Scotlandville High School in Baton Rouge.
His principal from those days, Freddie Williams, was in the audience Friday and Hess thanked him.
"He was kind enough at the time not to fire me, even though I was a major pain in the butt," Hess recalled.
Since leaving teaching and become a scholar, Hess said, he watched with frustration as schools have tried in vain to improve their operations.
"It's less stories about good and evil and more that people in these systems work hard to do things that will get very little results," Hess said.
Hess told a story about how it used to take eight days for parents in Washington, D.C., public schools to find out whether their children had been at school because of an antiquated way of taking attendance.
New Washington, D.C., Superintendent Michelle Rhee suggested giving teachers laptops and having them type in attendance numbers, which would make them immediately available. Rhee, however, ended up in 12 weeks of discussions. The problem was an old rule, one that may have made sense when instituted, in the teacher bargaining contract that prohibited teachers from doing data entry, Hess said.
Hess said that schools could do more to maximize their instructional time. He pointed to a University of Michigan study suggested that just 65 percent of the school day is spent on classroom instruction.
One way to add time is to find ways to get teachers to take fewer days off. Hess said teachers on average take eight days off each year. If a school could cut that in half, they could not only add nearly a week of instruction each year and save in the cost of paying substitute teachers. To get teachers to go along, the school could pay them a share of the cost savings, Hess said.
Hess said taking time to make schools efficient and to get around needlessly restrictively rules helps children.
"You don't do it instead of instructional leadership," he said. "You do it so you can do instructional leadership better."
Even charter schools — public schools run privately — often fail to take advantage of the added autonomy that such schools have compared with traditional public schools.
"There are 6,000 charters in America," Hess said. "I would argue that 80 percent of them use their autonomy not at all."
Hess said the unwillingness to use that freedom, to "cage-bust," is linked to how almost all educational leaders, including most charter school leaders, have spent their whole careers in education. He noted that in private business, managers spend more time learning about other fields and gain more experience outside their core areas.

BRIDLINGTON Town strengthened their promotion prospects from the Toolstation Northern Counties East League Premier Division with a 2-0 victory at struggling Armthorpe Welfare.
Andy Norfolk (57 minutes) and Joel Sutton (73) netted for the visitors, who remain third, two points behind Worksop Town and Tadcaster Albion.
Pickering Town remained ninth after a 1-1 home draw against Athersley Recreation, with Callum Ward putting Town ahead, only for Declan Welford to equalise with five minutes left.
All that Knaresborough Town could manage at runaway leaders Hemsworth Miners' Welfare was a Gary Collier strike in the 72nd minute.
The trouble was that they were 4-0 down at the time and they went on to concede six after goals by Billy Law (17), Jason Yates (34, penalty), Sam Jones (46, 62), Dominic Blair (81) and Luke Danville (89).
Fourth-placed Harrogate Town notched a vital 1-0 win at second-placed North Ferriby United in Vanarama National League North, with the hosts missing several chances in the gusty wind.
Lloyd Kerry got the goal in the 27th minute, flicking home Jordan Thewlis' cross.
In contrast, second-from-bottom Harrogate Railway Athletic went down 5-1 at third-placed Glossop North End in Evo-Stik Division One North.
Daniel Barrett netted for the visitors in the 86th minute, Jamie Rainford (28), captain David Young (72), Ben Richardson (74) and Astley Mulholland (78, 89) being on target for the hosts, who scored four in the closing 18 minutes.
Clitheroe bagged all four goals in their 3-1 victory at Scarborough Athletic, with Sefton Gonzales (36, 65) and Ross Dent (38) netting for the visitors, for whom James Heywood scored a 45th-minute own goal.

Have you heard the buzz? If not, you're either not on Facebook or haven't checked in lately.
Not only has Facebook become more popular than ever before, but some folks spend more time on Facebook than they do anything, even eating or sleeping. You never know what people are gonna share on Facebook - everything from what they're having for dinner, to how they're feeling and even when they went to the bathroom. If you're on Facebook you know I ain't making this up.
To be totally honest, what really suckered me in to Facebook were the games. I became a hopeless Facebook junkie once I discovered Zoo World, Farmville and Collapse games. This is how farming & having animals is supposed to be - where friends come over to visit and help tend to your crops, flowers and your critters.
Facebook has become more than just a place to socialize and stay in touch with people. A lot of people, myself included, use Facebook as a great way to promote their business. It is the place to share just about anything you want - engagements, graduations, new homes, new jobs, pics of babies, children and pets.
My daughter even gets updates on her cell phone, which is a little insane in my opinion, but it proved otherwise when my cousin's son was hospitalized and had surgery over the weekend. I wouldn't want my daughter's head to swell, but, once in a while she has a good idea or two. I would have never imagined using the internet for prayer requests but it is another great way to keep people up to date on situations of great importance.
I also discovered several of my school classmates were on Facebook and I started getting flooded with friend requests and reconnected with friends from elementary and high school, teachers and people who graduated before and after me. I hadn't heard from some in years and some I didn't remember at first.
Recently, I came across a Facebook page for folks to reminisce about Covington and Newton County ('Things I remember about Covington and Newton County Back When') and it has been jumping with people posting and sharing memories. Everybody is talking about the latest posts and emails are maxed out with notifications of new and constant activity. You can learn anything about the history of Newton County you want to know (and maybe some surprising things you'd rather not know). I don't know who started this but it became extremely popular rather quick and I decided to start a page for people from my hometown of Social Circle.
My husband said, "Social Circle is such a small town what could y'all possibly have to talk about?" I assured him every small town has a story to tell and we certainly have plenty of bragging rights. Believe it or not, long before the Blue Willow Inn put Social Circle on the map, this was a happening little place. We have even been dubbed "fuddy duddies from a Podunk town" by a would-be business entrepreneur, but I guarantee you won't find any better fuddy duddies than right here in Social Circle!
Within 20 minutes of starting the page, I had 87 people who had joined the group and began posting and sharing memories. We have young and old alike sharing memories and good times and I have learned a few things I never knew about our small town. I could spill the beans, but you'd miss out on all the fun so you're just gonna have to come find out for yourself.
When I think about growing up here, it always reminds me of Mayberry on the Andy Griffith show and it's good to know some things never change. There's nothing like going home no matter how you get there, whether by car, train or even Facebook, so we'll be seeing ya, you hear?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Michael Schmidt of Winnipeg, a two-time world champion in ten pin bowling, will represent Canada and go after a third world title at the 2012 QUBICA/AMF Bowling World Cup beginning on Nov. 25 at Wroclaw, Poland.
Schmidt, 32, will make his seventh World Cup appearance in eight years. He won world titles in 2005 at Ljubljana, Slovenia and 2010 at Toulon, France.
If Schmidt were to win the 2012 title, Canada would become the first nation in history to have a bowler win three World Cup titles.
In his past six trips to the World Cup, Schmidt has had five top-five appearances. Last year at South Africa, Schmidt placed 13th out of 81 participating countries.

I obtained my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC-Berkeley (Class of 2008) under the guidance of Shankar Sastry, with an emphasis in computer vision and machine learning. After PhD, I went to work on high-throughput bioinformatics problems at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus, and later continued there as an independent investigator in computational neuroscience. The industrial success of one of my inventions (SmartVision technology) brought me back to SF bay area to work at Instart Logic Inc. After helping the SmartVision-driven image delivery product grow from 3K images per day to 3 billion plus images a day, I built the Data Science and Machine Learning group at Instart Logic Inc from the ground up that I now lead and manage.

'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars' Recap: Power Shifts to the Stars on 'Iconic Dances' Night (VIDEO)
The celebrities were also tasked with taking creative control of the dances, a first for a Dancing With the Stars cast. Adding to the pressure is dancing under the looming black cloud of a double elimination. Yes, not one but two couples will be sent home this week!
Who rose to the iconic occasion and who flopped?
Note: Spoilers ahead if you didn't watch Monday's episode.
Most of the All-Stars took their role of creative director very seriously, adding their unique flair to dances made popular by the original couples. Even cranky Judge Len Goodman was awestruck with the quality of the dancing. Most everyone danced up a storm and nobody really flopped, save for a few mishaps.
Melissa Roycroft and Tony Dovolani tie at the top for their JR Martinez samba of Season 13. Though some of the transitions were shaky, Melissa was the first to get the highest score of the season. Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough re-created sister Julianne Hough and fellow contestant Helio Castronoves' quickstep from Season 5 and brought the audience to their feet. If not for breaking the quickstep hold rules, they could have danced off with the highest score of the night.
The most entertaining performance was given by Kirstie Alley and Maks, who channeled the Carson Kressley "Moves Like Jagger" cha cha of last season. With Maks looking and strutting around more like Mick Jagger than loveable Carson, and Kirstie simulating sexy acts then passing out, this dance was hands down the funniest two minutes of the show. See video above.

Children in Haylee Schaefer's fifth- and sixth-grade class have a kind-hearted project up their sleeves.
As a class, they studied the news coming from the East Coast about the damage caused by Superstorm Sandy. The kids were distraught by the idea that other students just like them had lost their homes and their schools and had to start all over. But how could they help?

Consumer Confidence Falls to All-Time Low
Latest News
Industry News
Consumer confidence, which rose somewhat in September, reversed course and fell to its all-time low in October, according to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index.
The index now stands at 38.0, down sharply from 61.4 a month earlier.
Two related indices also fell in October. The Expectation Index declined to 35.5 from 61.5 the month previous. The Present Situation Index decreased to 41.9 to 61.1 in the period. (The indices use 1985 = 100 as their base.)
"The decline in the Index is the third largest in the history of the series and the lowest reading on record," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. "Looking ahead, consumers are extremely pessimistic, and a significantly larger proportion than lat month foresees business and labor market conditions worsening," Franco added.

text: i tried fitting my new flywheel and clutch to my 1.8t this weekend and was advised to replace the rear seal. i bought a new one from the main dealer along with a gasket. it comes as a complete housing. The new one is a slightly different design to the old one. first drive up the road and engine oil is pouring out the box.so everything back off-the oil seems to leak from the seal part in the middle which doesnt look like a tight enough fit to seal. also the gasket seems a bad fit against the rubber seal of the housing. i tried it without the gasket but it still leaked out. anyone have any ideas? thanks.

The 31-year-old R 'n' B singer rides with Bun B in the new song lifted from his forthcoming extended play 'Versus'.
Following the release of Pitbull-assisted single "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love", another new danceable song from Usher rolls out for free stream. Coming from the production hands of top-notch music maker Polow da Don, it's called "Get in My Car" and features Bun B.
The track is confirmed to be listed in Usher's forthcoming extended play "Versus". Another single expected to come out sooner than later is Usher's collaboration with Jay-Z and Ciara which is reportedly to serve as the second single after "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love".
Usher will drop "Versus" in United States on August 24, less than 6 months after his new album "Raymond vs. Raymond" was released. There is no particular reason explained on why he rushes another set but it might have something to do with "Raymond" success.

S&P puts Lebanon's rating on a Credit Watch
Just as local equities appeared to have got over the worst following the relatively incident-free Israeli withdrawal from the south, up pops something else to knock them back down. The culprit this time was S&P's announcement that it was putting Lebanon's rating on a Credit Watch, which if carried through would also apply to three leading banks. The GDRs in particular were hard hit while locally listed stocks remained largely in their normal comatose state, with the exception of Solidere which retreated from recent highs.
The timing of the possible ratings downgrade might seem peculiar, given increased confidence in the country's political stability in the wake of the relinquishment of the occupied zone by the Israelis and with a possible revenues bonanza from the cellular companies for the Treasury. However, this cannot disguise the still fragile state of the
public finances. Revenues from the sale of cellular phone licenses may help reduce the budget deficit and debt servicing but, in itself, is not a substitute for the measures that would help lay the groundwork for a sustainable recovery - administrative reform and a transparent privatization process among other structural reform policies.

New Delhi, July 23(ANI): There was good news for Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday, when the Supreme Court of India provided him with a breather by saying it is willing to transfer another judge to one of the cases pertaining to the multi-crore fodder scam where he is the prime accused.
Yadav is alleged to have had a role in the embezzlement of over Rs. 37 crore in the scam as Bihar's chief minister.
The Supreme Court gave this direction after the litigant had expressed apprehensions about the intent of the judge in announcing the judgment in an impartial manner in the case.
"A very subtle kind of influence might have come on the judge," the court observed today.
The demand for the judge's change came in after the Jharkhand High Court dismissed a petition on July 1 filed by the RJD leader, which led to Yadav alleging that the judge was biased against him as the he was a relative of the Janata Dal United leader and state Education Minister P K Sahi. There were allegations that the judge was also related to the complainant Rajiv Rangh Lalan in the case.
"The (apex court) judges today stated prima facie that the case could be transferred to another judge apart from this one particular judge. But the judges also stated that if the parties give any judge's name by consent then the case can be transferred to them. Otherwise the next course of action would be decided the next time. The next hearing would be on August 6. Till then the hearing has been stayed so that the current judge does not order any action in the case. He has been given a stay of proceedings," said P. H. Parekh, Yadav's counsel.
Earlier, the apex court had also issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over the allegations made by Yadav.
"The jurisprudence of transfer is that it does not matter if the judge is right or wrong. If the litigant has a reasonable apprehension that there is no hope of justice from that particular judge, then the Supreme Court has the right to transfer the judge," Parekh said earlier today.
Yadav is one of the 46 accused persons in the fodder scam case, pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 37.7 crore from the Chaibasa Treasury in Singhbhum District of eastern Bihar between 1992 and 1995.
Besides Prasad, former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra, senior government officials, including IAS officers, and fodder suppliers were to appear before the court on the date.
As of May 31 this year, verdicts were delivered in 44 of the 53 cases in the Rs 950 crore fodder scam, which was unearthed during the undivided Bihar regime.
The fodder scam also known as "Chara Ghotala". involved the siphoning of funds from the Bihar Government treasury.
The alleged theft spanned over several years, and many Bihar state government administrative and elected officials across multiple administrations were allegedly engaged in it.
Additionally, there are also allegations that they were involved in the fabrication of "vast herds of fictitious livestock" for which fodder, medicines and animal husbandry equipment was supposedly procured.
The fodder scam was unearthed in Bihar in 1996 when Lalu Prasad was the Chief Minister of the state. He had resigned from the post in 1997 after a court issued an arrest warrant against him in connection with one of the cases. (ANI)

Sorry to be Captain Funless here, but I'd rather get Anthony Davis' eyebrow tattooed over my pair than hear one more person ask if the Kentucky Wildcats could beat an NBA team.
Yes, Coach Cal has recruited a team so talent-rich they could be a parable — It's Palm Sunday, after all — but if you sincerely believe UK could stick with even the worst NBA team for more than a quarter, you are out of your mind.
Take your 7-43 Charlotte Bobcats in their Michael Jordan-lead disdain for winning basketball. How would they fare against the Kentucky Wildcats? They would crush them. Consider:
1) Physiology: Not only has each of those players had the years of musculature that come with playing a sport for a living, they have the body mass of grown men. The athletic prime of a pro tends to hit somewhere between 27-32.
2) Neurology: The minute Bobcats PG Kemba Walker completed a cycle through the NBA's other 29 teams, he upset the competitive balance versus Cal's Crew. Being subject to the best players in the world and their moves on a game-by-game basis gives Walker offensive and defensive experience on a level beyond anything UK's seen.
3) Psychology: I don't care if Davis calls the neutral floor his stage, are you really considering one school has an entire program with the mental and physical capabilities to do that against an NBA team playing for an entire PA's pride? Sure, there are players like Lebron James and Alonzo Mourning who get freakish as rookies, but they are the exception to the rule.
4) DocBrownology: Let's say we were somehow able to transport each of the Bobcats from their final March Madness run to now for a pre-draft game versus this Kentucky team (and gave them a "training camp" of sorts to get to know one another): even in this circumstance do you think the Wildcats would win more often versus the Bobcats than a low-level power conference team would versus UK?
You have NCAA MOP Kemba Walker to go with Duke freak shows Gerald Henderson and Corey Maggette. All-in-all, Charlotte's 14-men feature nine first-round picks, seven of which were lottery selections. Even floor and with the aforementioned time machine, I'm not sure I'm taking Kentucky to win a best-of-seven versus The Fab Five. Kansas will probably have four guys picked come Draft Day 2012. Heck — gasp — they could beat Kentucky on Monday.
So, yes, I know I'm squashing a "fun hypothetical," but this conversation is happening way too often. Even ignoring that Kentucky lost to an 11-loss Vandy team that lost at home to Cleveland State, I still won't come close to buying the Wildcats versus a team from the league. Quite sincerely, it is — from the three-point line well into the paint — a different ballgame.

Waypoint Namibia
Waypoint Namibia | The Movie
As seen on:
Waypoint Namibia | The Movie
In May 2009, a small team of rock climbers departed for Namibia with two goals: to find a way up an unexplored face, and to find a way into a deeper understanding of southern Africa. At the heart of their trip lies the question, can adventure and culture combine to create understanding? "Waypoint Namibia" is the story of their journey.

Hear the Story
Can climbing give you access to understanding outside of the vertical? What if you have to go to Namibia to find out? In May, 2009, Majka Burhardt led a small team of explorers into a landscape of translucent scorpions, laser sharp granite cracks, 1.7 meter-long cobra tracks, and the Himba people–one of the last great Southern African pastoral tribes, all in the name of first ascents and cultural connection.
Namibia is Africa's newest independent country and was the first country in the world to mandate conservation in its constitution. As one of the least populated countries in the world, and one of the most progressive in Africa, Namibia combines peace, stability, and accessibility with rugged wildness and remoteness. In the past decade, Namibia has also developed a globally renowned system for resource management that pairs the conservation of natural lands with the economic stability of rural communities. How does adventure complement, and conflict with, environmental understanding? Majka Burhardt shares her story of connection with a country in Africa that impacts policy and economics from Mongolia to the United States. Schedule a Namibia Show by emailing Majka at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many climbing flicks focus solely on the epics–huge dynos, 50-foot whippers, clutch sends–while the ineffable, in-between moments are excised. Happily, Chris Alstrin's film Waypoint Namibia, on granite-dome hunting, avoids this pitfall. As Majka Burhardt says early on, "No one went on this trip to climb. They went to go to Namibia." With stunning visuals, Waypoint follows Burhardt, Kate Rutherford and Peter Doucette in the African wilds–driving 12-plus hours in 100-degree heat, climbing through bird crap (literally), and battling hives inflicted by aggressive flora. The trio manages a masterful FA–Southern Crossing–while exploring the intersection of culture, climbing, and conversation.
Waypoint Namibia is a great film and a fresh look at adventure with social purpose.

As graduation season is in full gear, it's time to take a look back at some of the top moments from the 2012-13 prep sports year.
Somehow, student-athletes are already getting ready for the fall sports season. But before we start focusing on what's on the horizon, let's take a look back in the rearview mirror and relive some of the best moments from the past several months.
Here are five great moments from Orange and Villa Park.
Orange Lutheran High's baseball team snaps Mater Dei's 22-game winning streak
Entering its Trinity League game against Orange Lutheran in early May, Mater Dei was arguably the hottest high school baseball team in the country.
The Monarchs had reeled off 22 consecutive wins and, in the process, claimed the inaugural Boras Classic as well as the USA National High School Invitational – two prominent tournaments.
But that didn't faze the Lancers.
Orange Lutheran earned a 4-3 victory over Mater Dei, handing the Santa Ana team its only Trinity League loss of the season.
Travis Blue went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. Mike Simonis allowed one run in four innings on the mound for the Lancers.
Orange High's football team upsets previously unbeaten Segerstrom
Behind one of the most explosive offenses in Orange County, Segerstrom High opened the 2012 season with a 7-0 record, averaging more than 45 points per contest.
And while Jaguars running back David Perkins was the Golden West League's leading rusher heading into a mid-October showdown against Orange High, it was another back who ended up stealing the show.
Orange junior Aaron Aguilar bulldozed his way for 226 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Panthers to a 45-33 victory over Segerstrom at Fred Kelly Stadium.
Aguilar carried the ball 36 times in the game, producing season highs in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns. The Panthers finished the season with a 5-5 record.
As graduation season is in full gear, it's time to take a look back at some of the top moments from the 2012-13 prep sports year.
Somehow, student-athletes are already getting ready for the fall sports season. But before we start focusing on what's on the horizon, let's take a look back in the rearview mirror and relive some of the best moments from the past several months.
Here are five great moments from Orange and Villa Park.
Local athletes qualify for the CIF State Track and Field Championships
Orange Lutheran, Villa Park and El Modena high schools all produced athletes who participated in this month's CIF State Track and Field Championships at Buchanan High in Clovis.
For the Lancers, junior Myles Hawkins capped off a stellar season by finishing third in the triple jump with a lifetime best of 48 feet, 41/2 inches on his second attempt. He also finished sixth in the high jump, clearing 6 feet, 5 inches. Teammate Carl Johansson claimed third in the pole vault, clearing 15 feet, 10 inches.
Villa Park junior Garrett Corcoran finished sixth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 4:11.98.
El Modena junior Sydney Gidabuday finished 22nd in the 3,200 meters in a time of 9:31.76.
Villa Park High's basketball team reaches 2AA finals
Not only did Villa Park become accustomed to playing in nail-biters during the 2012-13 boys basketball season, but by the end of the year, it welcomed the opportunity.
Entering the Division 2AA semifinal game against Thousand Oaks High in February, the Spartans had played in 11 games decided by five or fewer points, and had compiled a 10-1 record in those contests.
With the score tied late in the fourth quarter against the Lancers, Villa Park's Casey Hershfield buried a 3-pointer that put the Spartans ahead for good, as they held on to capture a 51-48 victory.
The Spartans advanced to the championship game for the first time since 2006. While they ultimately lost to J.W. North of Riverside, 59-58, in a heartbreaker, the future looks bright. First-team All-County performer Luke Selway – who averaged 18 points, 11 rebounds and five assists – is one of four starters returning for the Spartans next season.
Villa Park High's football team advances to the CIF-SS Southwest Division final
There was nothing new about Villa Park and Tustin meeting in the CIF-SS playoffs. The teams had played in 2010 and 2011, with Tustin coming out on top on both occasions.
Like the previous two seasons, the familiar foes met again in November with a spot in the Southwest Division final on the line.
The Spartans avenged their previous two playoff losses to the Tillers, earning a 35-34 victory to punch their ticket to Angel Stadium for the CIF championship. Villa Park running back Meki Tafuna powered his way to 171 yards rushing and four touchdowns on 33 carries.
While the Spartans lost in the final against Edison, 28-10, it was the first time they had advanced that far since 1977.

Full Tilt Poker payment announcement imminent
According to a report on Pokerfuse.com a spokesman for the Garden City Group (GCG) has stated that it expects to make an announcement regarding the timetable for Full Tilt Poker payments to US players by the end of this week; very welcome news for US players waiting for their money, which has been tied up on the site since April 15, 2011.
The announcement was made by an unnamed spokesperson which has come to bite the poker community on the ass in the past, but considering the source (Nick Jones from PokerFuse.com) and considering recent official statements on the GCG Full Tilt Poker website, this announcement should be given a lot of weight.
Over the past few weeks the rumors of just when the repayment process will begin has gone from terrible news (with one unnamed source telling Cardplayer.com that payments were a long way off) to outstanding news, when the GCG refuted the Cardplayer article, posting on their official Full Tilt Poker claims website that payments would begin shortly. So, as much as I trust PokerFuse.com, until we receive an official statement from the Garden City Group we should probably hold-off on any cheering.
A number of questions still remain unanswered, such as what exactly the remission process will look like and what players will have to submit to receive their funds. Other unanswered questions include:
* What will become of unused FTP's players accrued?
* Will tournament tickets and other rewards be honored?
* Will there be a fee associated with receiving funds?
* How will players verify their account balances?
The GCG was selected by the US Department of Justice to handle the daunting task of refunding roughly $159 million to US poker players, and the company has already learned just how important their task is to many poker players, and just how loud and unrelenting they can be on social media, when they came under fire for an innocuous tweet asking their followers to support them for a payment processor award, that saw their social media channels flooded by angry poker players demanding to know when they would receive their money.
It's unclear if this lit a fire under the GCG to get Full Tilt Poker payments done as soon as possible, but whether a coincidence or not, soon after this social media bombardment the group started making major progress in the remission process.
You can register at http://www.fulltiltpokerclaims.com/ to receive notifications on the remission process from the Garden City Group.
