Coach Driver Charged
February 21, 2012 by staff
Coach Driver Charged,
The driver of a British coach that crashed in northern France as it was taking schoolchildren home from a skiing trip was indicted on Monday for manslaughter, a prosecutor said.
The 47-year-old man, who was driving the coach that crashed in the early hours of Sunday, killing a teacher and injuring 23 passengers, was also charged with inflicting "involuntary injuries," prosecutor Christian de Rocquigny added.
The driver is "free to return to Britain, but must fulfil certain conditions," the prosecutor said.
He will have "to inform the judge of any travel outside Britain (and) is forbidden from contacting victims or their relatives," De Rocquigny said, adding that he is also forbidden from driving in France.
The driver, one of two, told the examining magistrate he could not remember how the accident took place, de Rocquigny said.
The driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, sending the coach veering off a motorway and into a ditch as the British school party was returning from a skiing trip in Italy.
"Witnesses driving close to the coach saw the vehicle swerving steadily towards the ditch, and the speedometer shows unjustifiably high speeds in the nine minutes before the accident," de Rocquigny told AFP.
The driver has denied falling asleep, but has acknowledged that he may have "dozed off," the prosecutor added.
The coach was carrying 29 children from a school in Alvechurch, just south of Birmingham, and 20 adults including teachers, ski instructors and the two drivers.
Teacher Peter Rippington, 59, was killed in the crash, and six people, including a 13-year-old girl, were seriously hurt.

particle pathlines and data csv format
Hi everybody,
I have 2 different questions, I hope some of you could answer it because I'm lost ...
I have a vectorial velocity field "V", and I wonder if it is possible with paraview to put an artificial particle at a certain position X and to make it evolve at the velocity V. The software has every information. It just has to do at each time step : X(t+dt) = X(t) + V(X,T) * dt
(or higher order integration).
I have a scalar function from which I plot the iso-0 line. This iso 0 represent the shape of an interface between two fluids (for those who are familiar, you recognized a "level-set" function).
I save the data of the iso0 line by doing File->SaveData
Then I got a csv file with a cloud of point representing my interface. My problem is that I don't know how the points are ordered. So if I try to put a line between the points, I have something uncoherent.
Do you know what is the order in which the points are saved ?
Thanks !

UFO Lights Spotted Near Los Angeles
January 31, 2012 by staff
UFO Lights Spotted Near Los Angeles, Friday the 13th ended up being a very lucky day for a California man who videoed several UFOs flying near Los Angeles. The video, allegedly shot by a freelance photographer going by the name Nerdumb, shows several bright lights in the sky over Hermosa Beach that disappear as a helicopter crosses below them. It was posted to YouTube and is making the rounds in UFO circles.
Many people noted that the lights look very much like planes taking off from Los Angeles International Airport, a few miles north of Hermosa Beach. Could they simply be aircraft? Probably not, because the lights seem to be stationary, and there's no reason commercial airplanes would suddenly switch off their lights in that pattern.
Tracey Parece, a writer for Examiner.com, wrote, "The video shows six bright lights suspended across the sky at sunset in an almost perfect straight line. The unidentified flying objects were so bright that they are very easy to spot in the video… A close-up of one of the objects shows a UFO that emanated red rays of light from its body." Parece concluded that Nerdumb's video "looks very convincing."
While some seem convinced the video may represent the best evidence of UFOs in 2012, others smell a hoax. For someone who claims to be a professional photographer the videos are very poorly shot and composed. Nerdumb holds the camera unsteadily, and amateurishly zooms in and out. The camera movements are very suspicious, especially the way he pans left to right as the UFO lights go out one by one, also from left to right. Instead of holding the frame steady to see if the lights reappear, he just keeps panning right for no particular reason — almost like he knows exactly what's going to happen. [NASA Debunks UFO Near Venus]
Another red flag is that the anonymous photographer is a "repeater" — someone who has made multiple UFO reports. In fact, his YouTube channel has several other similar videos featuring a series of approximately equidistant lights in the sky that appear and flicker out in more or less the same sequence as the newest video. The credibility of witnesses is suspect when they claim to see Bigfoot or UFOs over and over again, while most people never see them at all.
This brings us to another curiosity: Why is Nerdumbapparently the only person seeing and videotaping these mysterious lights in the sky? For such a high-profile event in such a populated area, it's suspicious that there seem to be no reports or videos taken by anyone else of these UFOs. How does Nerdumbknow where in the sky to look, and when to see the extraterrestrial craft? He claims it's not luck — the aliens communicate with him in his dreams, telling him where to go. If his videos are real, Nerdumb would gain a lot of credibility by publicizing his alien meet-up information so that the public and other UFO researchers could be at the right place and time to see and record it for themselves.

Klaarland Priory or the Priory of Our Lady of Klaarland (Priorij Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Klaarland) is a Trappist[1] nunnery in Lozen in Bocholt, Belgium.
In 1970, six nuns from the Abbey of Our Lady of Nazareth at Brecht started a new foundation: first in the district of Kiewit in Hasselt and from 1975, on the present site in Bocholt. The priory remains subordinate to Brecht Abbey.
Daily life
Life in the priory is characterised by prayer, reading and manual work, the three basic elements of Trappist life. The rhythm of the day is interrupted at set hours for celebrating the officies. The seven speech times are accessible to everyone both for guests and for occasional visitors. On each day there is considerable time foreseen for mental reading, Lectio Divina. As in all other communities, the sisters work for their daily bread. Throughout the years some small businesses have been developed such as brewer's yeast, hand-woven ornaments, candles, herb salve, massage oil and wishing cards. There is also a small guest house where people can stay a few days who search silence and prayer. The priory cannot be visited casually, however.

I evolved as a hunter, not as a gatherer.
I like that idea better than the thought that I am among the shopping challenged.
That's not to say that I can't go to a hardware store and procure a pipe fitting. I find the right bin, take the fitting to the counter, slide my magic card, decline a bag and drive away.
That is successful hunting.
A few times a year, I tarry at one of the large home improvement centers, which I still call lumber yards, to see what new contraptions they sell.
That way I know what new tools and widgets exist and where to find the right weapon when a household or automotive emergency arises.
That's not shopping. That's scouting.
Once in a while, when on one of these reconnaissance missions, I'll pick off a target of convenience, provided the pouch in my back pocket holds sufficient ammunition.
But, hand me a long list and drop me in the middle of a grocery store, and I'm a mariner without a compass.
When faced with such a task, I weave through every row trying to spot my targets.
Depending on the length of the list, the mission requires a feat of memory for which I am not always equipped.
I find myself among shelves lined with canned goods and spot black beans. Are they on my list?
When I reach the back of the building, I review the words I haven't scratched out and repeat the process in reverse order.
I already know that when I reach the front of the store, there will still be one or two items for which I have to seek intelligence information from a gatherer — usually a kindly lady shopper who will smile at me condescendingly and point me in the right direction.
A quick raid on a small grocery to pick up a specific item isn't bad.
I know where the milk and bread gather. For a more camouflaged item, I just ask the first uniformed clerk I spot.
Shopping for clothes presents a different problem. I generally can locate the men's shirts. My problem is picking out a suitable one.
The people I work with and the students I teach probably can tell whether I selected that day's apparel or it was chosen by my wife, Mary, or my daughter, Sarah.
If I get complimented on something I am wearing, one of them chose it.
Socks I handle without consternation.
Even I can pick out a pair of socks that's not likely to flash a neon message that I did it myself.
As I conclude writing this, my wife finishes the list for my sortie. She assures me no clothes purchase is involved.
I look at the sheet she hands me and take heart.
It's more than a list. She's drawn a map of the grocery store and pinpointed the targets.
I suck in my gut and swell my chest. I can do this.

DENVER, Colo. – The Saint Leo volleyball team took down No. 8 Lewis on Friday evening in a four-set match, beating the Flyers, 25-16, 25-19, 23-25, 25-21, in the final match of pool play on the opening day of the Colorado Premier Challenge.
The Lions were able to jump on the Flyers early, and from there they commanded the match. Even in the third set, Saint Leo played even with the nationally-ranked Flyers, and they didn't let the loss affect them.
Saint Leo was led offensively by junior Britt Sederholm, who tallied a match-high 21 kills on an impressive clip of .419 for the outside. Joining her in double figures was fellow outside hitter senior Hope Lemon. Lemon tallied 13 kills. Freshman setter Anna Garrett dished out 33 assists to help the Lions offense get back on track.
Defensively, the Lions were able to hold Lewis to just .128 hitting, led by senior libero Jamee Townsend who scooped up a match-high 17 digs.
This is the second-straight weekend the Lions have picked up a win over a national-ranked opponent. Last weekend at the Nova Southeastern Sharks Invitational, the Lions took down No. 11 Rockhurst, 3-2.
The Lions, who finished in second place in Pool 3 with a 1-1 record, will face the second-place team of Pool 2 at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon. Their opponent will be determined following the end of the final matches of the day.

Presidential Election Campaigns: Substance or Entertainment?
Presidential Election Campaigns: Substance or Entertainment?
By Edmond Y. Azadian
We are more than a year away from the presidential election in the US, but the campaign is already in full blast.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton began her campaign when she left Foggy Bottom as secretary of state. Some pundits even believe that she never quit campaigning after she ceded the Democratic nomination grudgingly to Barack Obama. Perhaps that was also the reason that her early campaign hit some turbulence; her use of a private server for her official emails continues to haunt her to this day. Her mishandling of the Libya fiasco and her support of the Iraq war have dented her popularity and have undermined her trustworthiness.
As far as her hawkish stand regarding foreign policy is concerned, she can hardly be distinguished from Sen. John McCain. She seems to be completely beholden to the military industrial complex. Even more worrisome is that she seems beholden to the polls rather than genuine ideals.
Should she win her bid for the White House, the Middle East will not enjoy any peace and the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, which President Obama is trying to seal before his term is up, will suffer a setback for another four or even eight years.
That is why now she is trying to divert attention to other talking points in her campaign, including finance reform or women's issues or race issues ("Black Lives Matter").
In the Democratic camp, most of the declared candidates — Lincoln Chafee, Lawrence Lessing, Martin O'Malley and Jim Webb — are no match for Mrs. Clinton in terms of fundraising. Vice President Joe Biden is still testing the terrain but as soon as he gets his feet wet, he will realize that this year's campaign is for the sharks and not a gentle figure like him.
As far as the Clinton campaign is concerned, her only serious challenger seems to be Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont who holds a steady lead over her in New Hampshire polls. Mr. Sanders is after big banks, trade deals, tax breaks for the rich and "super PACs" like the ones pouring money into Mrs. Clinton's campaign. When Sanders declared his candidacy several months ago, he seemed like a long-shot. After all, Sanders does not do sound bites, he is an intellectual and a policy wonk trying to fix the incredibly lop-sided economy of the US.
The irony is that he is not from the rank and files of the Democratic party; he is a registered socialist and an outsider to the party's mainstream, much like Donald Trump — his very opposite in every way — is in the Republican camp.
During the first Republican debate, Trump was still toying with the idea of running as an independent candidate, sending shivers down the spines of the GOP bigwigs. Ross Perot and Ralph Nader before him had played as spoilers. But after his pledge of allegiance to the Republican party, his popularity is soaring and he seems to be within the shooting distance for the party's nomination, to the chagrin of the GOP establishment.
The huge roster of Republican candidates offers few morsels for non-partisans. After all, they are competing with each other to proclaim their faith in God, aversion to abortion, oblivion regarding climate change and evolution and ignorance of other nations.
During the recent September 16 Republican candidates' debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, hosted by CNN and moderated by the network's Jake Tapper, the candidates showed just what the party can offer the masses.
Behind the candidates, a replica of Air Force One dominated the stage and certainly each candidate must have imagined himself or herself flying aboard it to reach the White House.
The debate was more entertaining than substantive. The candidates were competing with each other to spit out their prepared sound bites for maximum effect. Of course, the focus was on businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump, who is known for cracking jokes, sometimes creating awkward situations. This time around, he was relatively subdued. When asked about his derogatory comments regarding candidate Carly Fiorina's appearance, instead of apologizing, he jumped the gun and said, "She is a beautiful woman." But that sounded more sarcastic than apologetic. And again, he missed the point of treating Fiorina like any other candidate rather than an objectified woman, on whose appearance he is entitled to comment, whether favorably or not.
Similarly, there was an awkward situation when he was asked to comment on his statement that Jeb Bush has been influenced by his Mexican-born wife to be soft on the immigration issue. Trump did not respond to Bush's invitation to apologize to his wife.
One area which distinguished Mr. Trump from his Republican rivals — who were ready to tear up the Iran nuclear deal and bomb the world — was that he said while he was for a strong militaristic America, he would give a chance to diplomacy first (like Rand Paul).
However, his moderation did not help to avoid a scathing characterization by the New York Times columnist David Brooks, who wrote, "His ego may be galaxy-sized, but this policy ignorance is a void that overspills the known universe. He is the Wizard of Oz. When the bluster curtain falls down, what's left is pathetic."
Mr. Brooks is equally unmerciful towards the one segment of the Republican party whose comments boil down to a few negative policy positions, which are summed up in the following statement: "One group wants to rip up the political process and disrupt everything. Renounce the Iran deal on Day 1, no matter what our allies say. Ignore the Supreme Court and effectively disallow gay marriage. Shut down the government to defund Planned Parenthood. Magically deport the 11 million illegal immigrants. …
"The others, like Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and Jeb Bush, live within the confines of reality."
This, of course, is as far as domestic policy is concerned. On foreign policy, they mostly agreed on a hawkish philosophy, to boost American military power and talk to the rest of the world with the butt of the gun. Rand Paul stood alone in opposing that trigger-happy philosophy.
Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, both descendants of Cuban immigrants, tried to out-American their non-Hispanic rivals. Fiorina, who may have won a few points on her dramatic presentation on abortion, stated that the first day in the White House, she would call Benyamin Netanyahu of Israel, assure him of America's support and then threaten the mullahs of Iran. This kind of servility does not surprise the public any more, when a candidate puts a foreign nation's interests — no matter how friendly — above the US. There were other candidates tripping over themselves to address the Israeli lobby rather than the listeners, including Cruz and Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas. The latter sounded more like George Bush, who held the Bible and created mayhem in Iraq, with one million civilian casualties and 4,500 US military deaths, not to mention the two trillion dollars of wasted money.
Ted Cruz did not miss the opportunity to send a message to the gun lobby.
Another child of immigrants, Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, a Rhodes Scholar who studied at Oxford (declining acceptances to Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School), would rather cut the budget for Louisiana schools and break teachers' unions.
Jeb Bush had a complacent attitude with body language which indicated that he already has a lock on the nomination through dynastic entitlement. (Interestingly, he shares that posture with Democrat rival Clinton.) But he was startled when the moderator asked him why he says he wants to be his own man, yet he has assembled his brother's advisors, the neocon cabal of Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and others, who ignited all the devastating wars.
Mr. Bush was not able to answer directly, as he was caught off guard.
Almost all candidates tried to enumerate their achievements and their plans to rebuild America. They also had disparaging remarks about President Obama, despite the improvement in the economy, the passage of the Affordable Care Act which has given millions healthcare and his foreign policy victories in Cuba and Iran through negotiations rather than weaponry.
As entertaining as the debate was, the thought that one of those on the stage might actually become president and have the fate of the people of this country and even the world in the palm of his or her hand was chilling.
The majority of immigrant Armenians used to vote solidly Democratic. As their economic status improved, the majority has switched to the Republican camp. Of course, as any other citizens, Armenians have to vote with their consciences and their pocketbooks. But it helps to have our hands in both parties, in an organized way.
Many US citizens — including those who are naturalized — do not see nor care what their elected officials do in planning America's foreign policy. But Armenians, like the Jews, need to be vigilant. When we vote for warmongers, they spread devastation in regions where Armenians live and the community's safety is in jeopardy. Beware also those candidates who plan to send the specter of war to the regions Armenia is located.
We will be witnessing more entertaining debates. But let us think soberly when we are ready to vote.

Would you believe that at 33 years old, a life-long beauty aficionado, I just recently bought my first proper set of makeup brushes? Crazy right? I always thought they seemed really over-rated and I just put my foundation on with my fingers. But I did start getting curious since all the beauty gurus seem to use brushes to achieve that perfect finish. So I started looking for the perfect set of brushes probably about 2 years ago now. But just like how I am a sucker for pretty product packaging, I wanted the brushes to not only be functional but beautiful too. To be able to display on a vanity and look pretty and elegant. I thought I had found the perfect set a while back with the Tarte Brushed with Destiny brushes, but they were limited edition and sold out before I could get them!
I am glad that didn't work out though, since I am obsessed with all things in blush tones and I found these Rose Golden ones from Zoeva! They aren't blush exactly, the handles are called "nude" in the product description. And they are slightly more light apricot than blush when I saw them in person, but they are still BEAUTIFUL and I love them so much! Continue reading

NEW YORK -- Disgraced referee Tim Donaghy should be sentenced to probation because he cooperated in the probe into NBA betting and because he has "a pathological gambling condition," his lawyers said in a letter filed in court Monday.
In the letter to U.S. District Court Judge Carol B. Amon, filed in Brooklyn federal court, lawyers for Donaghy argued their client's cooperation with government investigators in the betting probe "will lead to future reforms that will change the way in which the NBA conducts itself."
One of Donaghy's lawyers, John Lauro, also suggested in the filing that NBA games had been influenced by relationships among referees, coaches and players, and that other NBA referees gambled in violation of league rules.
The league vehemently dismissed Lauro's claims.
"The letter filed today on Mr. Donaghy's behalf contains an assortment of lies, unfounded allegations and facts that have been previously acknowledged, such as the fact that certain NBA referees engaged in casino gambling in violation of NBA rules," Joel Litvin, the league's president of basketball operations, said in a statement.
"The letter is the desperate act of a convicted felon who is hoping to avoid prison time, and the only thing it proves is that Mr. Donaghy is no more trustworthy today than he was when he was breaking the law by betting on NBA games."
Lauro declined further comment when reached by The New York Times.
The 42-year-old veteran referee pleaded guilty last August to felony charges for taking cash payoffs from gamblers and betting on games he officiated. Donaghy's sentencing was pushed back to July 14 on Monday; he faces a maximum of 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
While citing Donaghy's commitment to his family, charitable activities and positive feedback for his career as a referee prior to his "tragic fall from grace," the lawyers said that their client's "aberrant conduct" can only be understood in the context of his gambling addiction, a "crippling disease, which prevented him from exercising complete rational self control."
Nevertheless, the lawyers said Donaghy is taking steps to get treatment for his condition, including therapy with a gambling counselor and attending Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
"Without a doubt, Tim made significant errors in judgment, but he also tried to right the wrongs of his conduct by assisting the government and seeking treatment for his disorder," the lawyers asserted.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Last year, I rolled over a 401K plan from my former employer into a Roth IRA. I then made a withdrawal from the Roth IRA. Since I'm only 31, is this considered a Roth IRA early withdrawal?
You must keep a conversion in the Roth IRA for five years to avoid any Roth IRA early withdrawal penalty. So, it's not your age that causes the Roth IRA early withdrawal penalty, it's that you withdrew the principal before it had been in the IRA for five years. Since you took the money out almost immediately after placing it in the account, you must pay the Roth IRA early withdrawal penalty.
Ready to file?
You've got your forms. And we've got your back. There's only one thing left to do. Let's do this.

|Re: Translation
Day 18
After finishing morning practice, the three of us came upon some Kobolds while out hunting.
This time, there were three of them; two of which were equipped like the earlier one with armor and longswords, and the last one had a short bow and a quiver.
While thinking "Is this the second day in a row to strengthen Gobumi-chan?", I checked the surroundings for additional enemies in order to make a decision.
With it being all clear, I chose to commence the assault.
With the Kobold that could attack from range with the bow and arrows being a higher threat level compared to the others, a sneak attack with a poisoned stone from Gobumi-chan's staff sling was the decisive action.
With the poisoned stone hitting the Kobold right in the eye, we stole away the bow wielding Kobold's usual composure and vision.
Not wanting to waste the time while the other Kobolds were in a panic, Gobukichi and I moved to utterly defeat the two Kobolds who possessed longswords that looked slightly better than the one we got earlier.
My longsword might be worn out, but for my current body, it's just the right size. I've also gotten used to my body, so separating the Kobolds head from his body was easy.
Right now, the horn I used earlier is more like a knife now which might have made me feel the difference all the more.
Gobukichi violently broke all his opponent's bones, which was kinda gross to look at.
Gobumi-chan, with the pseudo-knife made of obsidian-like stone I gave her earlier, slit the bow-wielding Kobold's throat and gave it a finishing blow.
Apparently, Gobumi-chan's evolution direction lay in brains and speed.
To use weapons cleverly, intelligence was needed after all.
After that, we worked hard at disassembling the body. We collected the armor, Gobumi-chan got the short bow and quiver, and I took the slightly better looking long swords for myself.
Because there was no suitable loot for Gobukichi, he will have to wait till next time.
While these Kobolds sadly didn't have any fire spirit stones, my collection of small bags increased by three.
One I kept for my own use, and the other two I gave to the other Goblins for putting medicinal plants in it. Now, if something were to happen, I'm sure they will be of great use. Each Goblin got one body to eat.
I didn't get any new abilities. I felt that with just a bit more, I'd gain something new and the ability that I already had, [Predict], got slightly stronger. [Predict] lets me see my opponents' attack trajectories as red threads, so in battle it can be incredibly convenient.
After that, we hunted whatever we came across before we returned to the cave in order to sleep.

The rooms are very large and spacious and in a great location however still do not justify the expensive price tag. You're able to see a lot of wildlife around your room throughout the day which is nice and its a very short drive away from the main tourist attractions.
On the other hand - out experience at the restaurant was disappointing. It is difficult to get a table at your desired time so make sure you book when you get there. The food is very overpriced and was quite average and the portions are small. The staff are also slow and a little unfriendly - we asked our waitress for some sauces and condiments and by the time she had brought it we had actually finished our meal. We were the first ones to arrive at breakfast the following morning yet the food was cold...only 5 minutes after opening time.

The Vietnamese dong is forecast to depreciate just over 4% through 2017. There are concerns about the domestic economy regarding weak domestic demand, bad debt issues, and slow reform of state owned enterprises. Our expectation is for policy makers to keep the Vietnamese dong competitive vis-a-vis other emerging markets in order to support Vietnamese exporters.

Data compression and harmonic analysis
In this paper we review some recent interactions between harmonic analysis and data compression. The story goes back of course to Shannon's theory in the case of Gaussian stationary processes, which says that transforming into a Fourier basis followed by block coding gives an optimal lossy compression technique; practical developments like transform- based image compression have been inspired by this result. In this paper we also discuss connections perhaps less familiar to the Information Theory community, growing out of the field of harmonic analysis. Recent harmonic analysis constructions, such as wavelet transforms and Gabor transforms, are essentially optimal transforms for transform coding in certain settings. Some of these transforms are under consideration for future compression standards. We discuss some of the lessons of harmonic analysis in this century. Typically, the problems and achievements of this field have involved goals that were not obviously related to practical data compression, and have used a language not immediately accessible to outsiders. Nevertheless, through an extensive gen- eralization of what Shannon called the "sampling theorem," harmonic analysis has succeeded in developing new forms of functional representation which turn out to have significant data compression interpretations. We explain why harmonic analysis has interacted with data compression, and we describe some interesting recent ideas in the field that may affect data compression in the future.

Warning for fans as World Cup tickets go on sale
By Michael Hann
LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - With tickets for next year's rugby World Cup in England about to go on general sale, fans have been warned to buy them through official channels or risk being refused entry to matches.
Up to a million tickets will go on sale at 0900 GMT on Friday - 300,000 have already been sold via rugby clubs - and fans have until Sept. 29 to apply.
However, with demand for tickets in Britain expected to be second only to the London 2012 Olympics, there is a growing fear that organised touts could hijack the process.
Unlike the ticketing system for the London Olympics, in which the government introduced legislation banning the unauthorised resale of tickets, the International Rugby Board (IRB) did not apply for the same conditions.
England Rugby 2015 subsequently failed to persuade the government to make touting of World Cup tickets illegal and are hoping that their terms and conditions that forbid anyone buying a ticket from an unauthorised outlet will dampen the market.
In a bid to deter touts, ticket agency Ticketmaster has implemented software that can detect multiple applications but officials accept that they face a difficult battle against increasingly sophisticated operators.
"Fans should only buy through official sources," said England Rugby 2015 communications director Joanna Manning-Cooper, who saw the benefit of legal protection during her time with the London 2012 Olympics organising committee.
"We are doing everything we can to make sure tickets get into the hands of fans who want to come to the tournament, and not to touts who simply want to sell them on at a profit."
The tournament has to raise 250 million pounds ($406.33 million) from tickets and organisers have implemented a wide range of prices.
Prices range from 15 pounds for the lesser group games - with children's tickets from seven pounds - to 715 pounds for the most expensive seats at the final at Twickenham on Oct. 31.
The 20 participating countries will play across England and Wales with Wembley, the Millennium Stadium, Elland Road, Villa Park and London's Olympic Stadium among the venues being used.
The tournament begins on Sept. 18 next year when England play Fiji at Twickenham. England's pool games against Australia and Wales are likely to be oversubscribed many times over, despite a top price of 315 pounds, and will be decided by a ballot.
However, with tickets for matches such as Samoa v United States starting at 15 pounds, organisers claim there is ample opportunity for fans to see some live action.
"We have worked hard to develop a ticketing system which makes the application process easy and efficient as possible, and offers flexibility to fans," Rugby World Cup 2015 chief executive Debbie Jevans, said in a statement.
"Fans have 17 days to apply, so there is no rush and they should take time to consider what they would like to purchase."
Champions New Zealand, who beat France 8-7 in the final in Auckland in 2011, begin their defence against Argentina at Wembley on Sept. 20.

Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) president Tomislav Karamarko said on Friday it was good that Prime Minister-Designate Tihomir Oreskovic was talking with outgoing ministers and that, contrary to media reports, he did not know that Construction Minister Anka Mrak Taritas and Tourism Minister Darko Lorencin could be part of the new government.
Asked by reporters about Oreskovic's meeting with Lorencin later today, Karamarko reiterated that he was probably discussing the state of affairs in those ministries, "which is good", in order to collect as much information as possible and to come to work as prepared as possible.
Karamarko said he had not talked with anyone about the possibility of Mrak Taritas of the Croatian People's Party (HNS) and Lorencin of the Istrian Democratic Party (IDS) being in the new government. "The ministers will be experts with good references. (The) Bridge (party) and the HDZ will prioritise party people, but only if they meet those criteria. If they don't, we'll looking for experts outside our yard. We aren't hung up on party membership cards."
He reiterated that the HDZ had proposed scaling down the number of ministries from 20 to 17 and establishing a ministry of immigration, family and demographic revival, but that it agreed with Bridge to start with the existing 20 ministries and analysing after seven months if their number could be reduced.
Karamarko reiterated that Oreskovic would have the last word in the choice of ministers, notably those of finance, the economy and enterprise. He said all nominees would be known in about two weeks.
He reiterated the need to curtail the number of state agencies. "A lot of cuts have to be made. Only what's necessary will remain. Everything else which is a burden on the budget and yields no results" will be eliminated.
Karamarko also said that his declaration of assets would be updated in the next few days. "I haven't become Rockefeller in the meantime."

Banimpire, beaten a short-head by Blue Bunting in the Irish Oaks, was well behind the winner in the Yorkshire Oaks last time and that wasn't her form. She can go well but Nahrain will need to improve again after landing a Listed contest at Sandown. Sandy's Charm was caught close home by Zinabaa at Deauville and should be better suited by the quicker ground while Epic Love didn't get the clearest of runs in a Group 2 at Deauville last time. ANNOUNCE, the only four-year-old in the field, hasn't had much racing and gained her first success at the highest level when beating Timepiece at Deauville.

How To Hasten Setup Of Ganache On Cake?
Decorating By grandmom Updated 2 Oct 2009 , 2:03pm by grandmom
Last night I ganached my cakes. This morning I was not happy with the results, so I reworked the ganache with a hot knife. It is not gooey soft, but has not yet set up hard like it was before I bothered it.
I must finish this cake today. Is there a way to hasten the set up of the ganache?
Put it in the fridge for half an hour, doesn't take long to firm up and your cake won't get so cold in that time as to cause problems with your fondant later!
What luck! I know you are a big ganache endorser, and I was hoping you would reply! Thank you so much - you saved my day!!

William Potts, organizer of the Second Annual Henry County Tractor Drive hoped for a large turnout.
"We had 35 entries last year," he said. "This year I'd like to see 100."
By noon on Saturday a half-dozen had made their way to the Henry County fairgrounds for a 27 mile drive to raise money and awareness for the Relay for Life.
"It's just a bunch of guys who are going to tour Henry County and raise some money," Potts said.

Tears in Heaven
There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love - Unknown
Tears are simply the raindrops from the storms inside us – Hindu saying
'Goodbye' old friend
My friend of over 30 years, Dave Smal's funeral service of celebration was held last week. Back in the day we were brother elders and long distance runners of little note. We enjoyed and shared music. Our families were close.
At the end, as a result of crippling, ravaging multiple sclerosis, his limbs were locked rigidly, leaving a knee permanently on his chest. Just speaking was a huge challenge. Yet during years of being curtailed and deprived physically by MS, Dave never once voiced a complaint, remained positive and focused on others. Bereft of power, position, possessions, mobility - privately he must surely have cried tears of Job?
His witness at the Robin's Nest frail care centre was so strong that the staff called him Sipho - 'the gift'. He loved Love. We saw a remarkable, transparent emptying, and an emergence of a poverty of spirit and a purity of heart of the sort I understood was displayed by St Francis. As the material declined so Spirit emerged. Dave's room was a sacred place/ space of joy, calm, peace, humour.
Notwithstanding being reared in a 'big boys don't cry' family setting, I simply couldn't stop crying for quite a while after Dave died. All of the "inhibitory control" mentioned by psychology and neuroscience professor Robert R. Provine, that developed alongside "Emotional tearing - a uniquely human and relatively modern evolutionary innovation" left me. (1)
The last time I remember crying so is as recorded by David Hutchens describing story-invoked "narrative transport". "This is a powerful effect, and at its best it bears similarity to a trance or hypnotic state. Graham says he recalls watching the movie 'The Elephant Man' in a theatre and being unexpectedly seized with sobs that he could not control. "At some level I had entered the story" he says. "Perhaps I identified with Joseph Merrick's ugly duckling situation. I certainly experienced overwhelming empathy with him, and anger at what society can do to individuals". (2) Quite a few similarities, but this time the story was very close and raw.
What is it about tears? "Tears are the medium of our most primal language in moments as unrelenting as death, as basic as hunger, and as complex as rites of passage. They are the evidence of our inner life overflowing its boundaries, spilling over into consciousness. Tears spontaneously release us to the possibility of realignment, reunion, catharsis, intractable resistance short-circuited… It's as though each one of our tears carries a microcosm of the collective human experience, like one drop of an ocean". (3)
Fisher catalogues photographs of tears shed for many reasons. Tears captured and dried on glass slides, and magnified many times through a high-resolution optical microscope. (3) She exposes tears of grief, change, joy, possibility/ hope, compassion, redemption, remorse, tears for what couldn't be fixed, from being overwhelmed, after goodbye, yearning for liberation, elation … Even onion tears!
There could be many more categories: physical pain, empathic tears, gratitude …
Conceivably, there could also be sub-categories (and a mixing with other emotions): tears of overwhelm could happen because we cannot cope with a situation – including sheer frustration, or when we are confronted by beauty, a remarkable revelation, an achievement that we've long striven for, discovering a higher purpose, meeting our first born, becoming immersed in a piece of art...
Tears of grief too could be complex: loss of the other in your life, regret, sadness, feeling abandoned, confronting one's own mortality and facing questions about the 'after – life'. Imagine the loss and emotional pain that Eric Clapton experienced at the freaky, unfair death of his four-year old son and which led to him writing 'Tears in Heaven'. (We'll bypass the theological implications here).
Tears and Sense-Making
Ancient wisdom tells us that the Christian Desert Fathers and Mothers held 'the gift of tears' in very high regard. Jewish proverbs teach 'What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul' and 'A drop of love can bring an ocean of tears'. Rumi: "Within tears, find hidden laughter. Seek treasures amid ruins …." Tears touch our physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions.
Crying tears of joy may well be the body's way of restoring "emotional equilibrium... The psychologists say that, by responding to an overwhelmingly positive emotion with a negative one, people are able to recover better from strong emotions". (4) Presumably the reverse holds true – for instance, nervous laughter when afraid.
"Crying has a physiological effect on the body, such as releasing neurochemical substances that can improve mood". (5) (And emotional release too)
So tears are necessary. Perhaps they water the garden of growth and maturity? Maybe the only way to come out of a dark night is to go into it?
So tears shouldn't be repressed or suppressed. They heal. Are cathartic. Rapunzel's tears fell on her husband's eyes and cured his blindness. When Mary Magdalene washed Jesus' feet with her tears, she was healed.
But Enough analysis!
da Vinci said "Tears come from the heart and not from the brain".
I'm glad I cry for Dave, and celebrate his life and example.
"If you need to cry you should cry". (6)

Living the Organisation's Purpose
Man, first of all, is the being who hurls himself towards a future and who is conscious of imagining himself as being in the future – Jean-Paul Sartre
The Veracity of Purpose
For both organisations and individuals, a clear (higher) purpose that is bigger than ourselves can provide us with direction, stability, motivation, meaning and a sense of belonging. It informs our behaviour. Builds our reputation. Any organisation or individual truly executing its or their purpose authentically, coherently and passionately are alive and well.
Without purpose and meaning we suffer the disease of ennui, are jaded, lacklustre, aimless, feel unsatisfied. "The human brain cannot sustain purposeless living. It is not designed for that. Its systems are designed for purposive action. When that is blocked, its systems deteriorate, and the emotional feedback from idling these systems signals extreme discomfort and motivates the search for renewed purpose, renewed meaning".(1)
So finding and following our purpose is work of the utmost importance.
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be".(2)
Purpose encompasses being, then the doing that results, with any achievement or outcome of lesser concern. "To the extent that we are attached to the results of our work, we rise and fall with our success and failures, which is a path to burnout. Failures are inevitable, and successes are not the deepest purpose of our work. This requires a deepening of faith in the intrinsic value of our work-
beyond the concrete results. To the extent that our actions are rooted in pure intention, they have a reverberation far beyond the concrete results of the actions themselves. As Gandhi emphasized, "The victory is in the doing", not the outcome". (3) Purpose evokes a passion about why we exist.
Employees should be able to identify with and support the organisation's purpose although their own individual purpose may be different, and this is sufficient 'alignment'.
Finding our higher purpose has been the subject of previous papers:
INDIVIDUAL: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-am-i-here-aligning-individual-employees-purpose-graham-williams
This document now explores how we might, at the organisation level, follow a decided purpose.
Living your Purpose using the 'Purpose Sphere' and its Dimensions
Steering the organisation to deciding and fulfilling its newly stated purpose requires considerable effort, especially in the kick-off phase, in order to build and maintain momentum through to completion.
This is not simply about fixing a few things but about embracing new possibilities, entering a new way of relating to the community being served, becoming a different entity, with a different culture. Naturally a new way of leading is required. A number of dimensions need to be leveraged in the interests of this transformation. Hence what I term the 'purpose-sphere':
Some background to explain this visual conceptually:
- Somatics attempts to go beyond cognitive knowledge to embody, and generate. Centreing from thinking to feeling happens along four dimensions.
LENGTH - from spiritual to pragmatic (Be and Do),
WIDTH - being 'wide' open and beyond self into community (relational space),
DEPTH is the space between what's behind and what's in front (or the depth of one's inner
The 4th dimension then becomes a centred purpose.
- The Whirling Dervish dancer is connecting heaven and earth, embracing all, symbolising the way the universe and all within rotate and connect
When particles of dust
Are touched by the sun
They spread their arms and start whirling
To a music no one can hear
Are touched by the sun
They spread their arms and start whirling
To a music no one can hear
The sun, moon, and stars
Keep turning around the sky:
We're in the middle
Turning around the centre
Keep turning around the sky:
We're in the middle
Turning around the centre
What should I do
If love seizes me
Start dancing of course! (Rumi)
If love seizes me
Start dancing of course! (Rumi)
St Patrick (born around AD 414):
Christ with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Ephesians 3:18: "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is"
The 'purpose sphere' visual may be viewed as a journey to integration. Interestingly, the Christian cross is a symbol of becoming whole, attaining equilibrium. It has both dark and light connotations. It is "a double see saw with the two axis crossing at the centre. It provides the framework for balancing right and left and also the high and the low" - Robert Johnson
- WIDTH in the sense of an open-ness to the needs of the community. Think in terms of willing, wide open arms, to serve and give in order to to make our purpose explicit.
And also as a balancing factor, that is, a balance between 'left brain'/'right brain' thinking,
non-duality ('And' rather than 'Either/Or), masculine and feminine, positive and 'negative'
opportunities. A good metaphor is that of steering a boat – with only one oar one goes
around in circles. Utilising both oars ensures sound guidance towards the chosen direction.
Integrated (systemic) thinking when making a decision, solving a problem, formulating
a plan
- taking account of the impact of and on the interconnected capitals available to business
(human, social, manufactured, social, intellectual, natural)(4) to which we could add
'spiritual', is an important balancing mechanism. The integrated thinking model goes hand in
hand with stewardship: an eco-centric approach to the environment, ushering in a circular
economy and enabling sustainable, cohesive communities and society.
- DEPTH is being focused on and moving towards bringing purpose to fruition - fully engaged, assuming a presence in the community, having a sense of wider inter-connectivity, and a clear scenario of your future, being 'in the flow'. Being pushed by wonder, awe, curiosity, compassion …. - but also being held back or restrained / constrained by past experiences, limiting beliefs, attachments, false logic, lack of capacity, a non-growth mind-set, self-deception .…
We are often unaware of the unconscious forces pushing, pulling or constraining us, our
built in, hidden impulses and drivers. An illustration:
Dr Gabor Maté interviewed by Tami Simon of Sounds True on Tues Mar 21, 2017 told of
being in Budapest a day after the WWII German occupation, when he was 2 months old, his
mother called their paediatrician: "Would you please come see my son? Because he's
crying all the time". And the paediatrician says, "Of course I will come, but I should tell you
all my Jewish babies are crying".
And so that anecdote told by my mother speaks to the very essence of childhood experience,
which is to say that what happens to the parents happens to the child.
Sometimes we have to push and push until purpose and vision pulls! Key to this is being
aware of what is propelling or preventing our forward momentum, through disciplined
external and internal sensing, and building or leveraging what is needed.
- LENGTH is about having a raised consciousness and being practical; about being part of, and inspired by, a higher calling, belonging, having faith and a transcendental view, being values- based, operating from the inside out while at the same time being alert, grounded, practical, mindful, effective at decision-making and problem solving, and at bringing about lasting change through sound, courageous leadership. Integrated thinking is applied. There are reflective, relational and resilience aspects to this dimension.
The 'Length' dimension can be viewed as a contemplatives-in-action dimension. Spirituality
promotes and fosters:
o an internal focus and an outward execution
o a meaningful, transcending, pervasive world view that calls forth a higher purpose, and rises above religion, culture and ethnicity
o a deep appreciation of our interconnectedness as a context of existence
o an other-orientation. The desire to serve others, society and the environment. An awakening from self- consciousness to a wider, deeper consciousness
o the development of positive principles and character virtues, a mature ethics and morality in action (purity of heart) along with a recognition that love is the highest virtue, but reachable
Spirituality is about the whole person. When we're spiritual we think, feel and act differently
and congruently. (I am acutely aware that there is a mystical, mysterious, inexplicable inner
– experience dimension to spirituality which defies easy explanation and definition).
A Moving Force-Field and Container
Think of the 'purpose – sphere' as a powerful force field, designed for you to succeed at implementing your purpose statement. The sphere is also a container: "Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach" - Clarissa Pinkola Estes
We are reflective, relational and resilient beings. ("At the heart of resilience is a belief in oneself - yet also a belief in something larger than oneself" – Hara Estroff Marano, Editor at Large, Psychology Today)
Reflecting periodically as a group on the transformation journey to is a bonding, growth experience. A creative pause in our hectic daily activities - that yields clear ways forward to gain and to keep momentum.
Has the journey improved our stability, 'anti-fragility' and who we intend to be as we've moved into living our clear purpose and direction?
Have we sufficiently leveraged the length, width and depth dynamics of the 'purpose sphere' to this end?
These two questions raise the issues of feedback and measurement, and here I love the simple eloquence of what drives Menlo Innovations, a highly successful IT services company based in Michigan.
Their CEO and Chief Storyteller, Richard Sheridan, is focused on JOY as a value, a purpose and a description of their culture. When I asked Richard how he measured joy, his response was that he produces statistics, metrics and improvement-outcomes for the cynical and disbelieving, but essentially his real measure (the one that counts!) is the extent to which Menlo's successes and advocacy travel as anecdotes by word of mouth.(5)
When contemplating progress towards a higher purpose, compose story of a future possibility, how things will look when you overcome existing blocks, challenges or traumas. Allow yourselves to enter Neil Gaiman's world of "not yet" (6), asking and then answering one or more of these three questions:
"What if … ?
If only …
If this goes on …"

We are going to be upgrading to windows 7 on about 20 machines. I'd like to save each persons profile to a central location. Windows Easy Transfer does work well but I'd prefer not to go to every computer to install the tool. Anyone know of something I can work with centrally and just use the lan to get profiles?

Quivern, Inc. is an IT service provider.
USMT 4 doesn't require installation (an improvement over USMT 3 in this regard); you could drop the USMT application files on a network share, and then launch SaveState via remote execution (psexec, or some similar tool), or via a startup script.
In theory you can harvest profiles remotely (since the data harvested is all either file system or registry, both of which are available via remote access), but I'm not aware of a tool to do it. I'd rather run SaveState on the local system, though.

Here is a good read for using the USMT 4,
What USMT can backup with default scripts:

Enable roaming profiles for those users just before you switch their PC have them log on and off. Their profile should be saved to the specified network share. I think the only thing you probably really want to save is going to their my documents folder and any mail that might be in their profile and any files on their desktop. I don't think the rest will transfer to windows 7 very well.

Quivern, Inc. is an IT service provider.
One of the nice things about using USMT for this sort of thing is that it automatically does the translation from XP profile settings to Windows 7 profile settings when you do the LoadState operation on the new Windows 7 box. Using USMT is essentially the same as running Windows Easy Transfer, except that you can use it to migrate all (or a subset of all, as you wish) the users on a computer at the same time, and have greater control over how that migration is done. It's basically the IT administrator's version of Windows Easy Transfer.
It is possible, with the WAIK, to fully automate the process of running USMT to save the state on a machine, install Windows 7, then run USMT to restore that machine's state from wherever you saved it. If you're willing to take the time to figure out how all this works, you can save a lot of time deploying Windows 7 this way.

Babe Ruth
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"
The Life of the Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth was born on February 6, 1895 in Baltimore, Maryland. His parents were George Ruth Sr. and Kate Ruth. Babe Ruth real name is George Herman Ruth Jr. He got the nickname "Babe" when Jack Dunn signed him on to the Baltimore Orioles, and the other players called him "Jack's newest babe" and Babe stuck. Babe Ruth was then traded by Dunn to the Red Sox. July 11, 1914 was Babe Ruth debut into the major leagues. Ruth was one of their best pitchers on the team, and the Soxs wanted to turn him into an everyday player. Since Babe was a very well rounded, excellent player, many teams wanted him to play for them.
On December 6, 1919 he was traded to New York Yankees were he would help them win seven pennants and four world series. The Yankees before Ruth came had never won a title, and when Babe came to play for them in the 1920's everything changed for the team. When Ruth came to the Yankees he became full-time outfielder, and would forever change the way baseball would be played. Ruth changed baseball from a slow, low scoring game to a fast pace, high scoring games. He beat his own baseball records each year in batting averages, home runs, runs, and slugging averages. Babes best year was in 1921 he got 59 home runs, 171 RBI, 177 runs, a batting average of .376 and had a .846 slugging average. When the Yankees moved to their new stadium in 1923 they said it was "The House that Ruth Built".
He was then traded for the last time to the Boston Braves. When he retried in 1935 he held 56 Major League Records. Ruth's most respected recorded was his 714 home run record that he held for years after he died. In 1936 he was one of the first five baseball players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Yankees retried Babe Ruth's jersey number "3" in 1948 when Babe visited their stadium for the last time because he was dying of tumor in his neck. On August 16, 1948 Babe Ruth passed away. Even though Ruth passed away over 60 years ago he is still considered one of the best major league baseball players.
