After one of my tests, I found in my dmesg lines like: <4>Alignment trap: font (1269) PC=0x4002f9f4 Instr=0xe592c000 Address=0x00012726 FSR 0x013 The problem is the font itself: as any character is 14 bytes (for the 7x14 font) not all the char pointers fall in a word boundary and so, we're forcing the cpu to correct the missalignment. I have a little libw100 test program, to fill the screen with a given text. This is what I got when I use a nonaligned char, like "1": root_at_c7x0:/media/card/libw100/bin$ ./font 0 1 "1" Written 3094 characters in 19 seconds. Rate: 162.422116 cps And using an aligned one, like "2": root_at_c7x0:/media/card/libw100/bin$ ./font 0 1 "2" Written 3094 characters in 0 seconds. Rate: 16563.169165 cps This is like the performance I got using the 8x16 font, so, the problem seems to be the misalignment of the font, and not the imageon itself. Regards.

ROBBO: Q&A Answers...06-Mar-2012
Sussex's Professional Cricket Manager Mark Robinson recently invited questions from you, the supporters, as the 2012 season fast approaches.
06th March 2012
Last year the Sussex batting regularly imploded when facing good quality spin bowling. What can you do to address this weakness? Alex Thompson
One of the themes for the winter has been playing the spinning ball. We are trying to get all our players to have options in order to counter attack against spin and a technique to defend. We have used Tony Cottey a lot this winter, who was a great player of spin as well as Keith Greenfield etc. I do not think we will be the only team who has struggled against high turning spin on turning wickets, but we are aware of our need to improve.
Monty's success recently is likely to mean he is available less for Sussex next season. While Will Beer's development is very encouraging, what off-spinning options do we have, now that Rayner has departed? Will Chris Nash bowl more? Alex Thompson
Now that Monty is back in the England Test setup and is likely to miss some of our championship matches, are you looking to recruit a quality spinner, or are you looking to strengthen other areas of the squad? Tim Warrick
As I write I am watching Monty bowling beautifully against Pakistan in the second Test (January 28). On this showing he is likely to be in the England squad next summer. Ollie's gone, so where does that leave Sussex's spin bowling options? Best wishes for 2012, Alan Jones
Both Chris Nash and Luke Wells will now potentially bowl more with Ollie's departure, which will be good for their own development. Time will tell how much of next season that Monty misses, as Swann remains England's No. 1 spinner and the chances of England playing two spinners in England is slim. However, if he does it will be a great opportunity for someone like Will to step up and receive the opportunity and if we felt they weren't up to the task we would have to look outside of the County.
Sussex seemed to carry a lot of 'bit' players for the one day teams last year. Can we afford such a large squad? Alex Thompson
Not sure we had a large squad. At the beginning of the season we were expecting to lose Yardy, Wright and Prior for large chunks so we had to cover the potential absentees. We haven't recruited anybody domestically, and are not expecting to while seeing two players depart which has seen the squad diminish. This is due to the fact that we are expecting Yardy and Wright to be available more this season. You made a reference as to whether we can afford to "carry" players – I am given a budget and I have to work within those budget means. Some of the players that play for the club, especially in their early years, are looking for opportunity rather than large salaries so obviously they are very cost effective.
(This was written three to four weeks ago and shows you how quickly things can move, as in the last week Luke has been approached by the IPL, having not been picked in the first draft.)
Last season, in my opinion, the weak point in the Sussex team was fielding and the number of drop catches, especially in the slips. As Robbo was a bowler he knows how heartbreaking this is. What is being done to rectify this? I know you tried to sign Clarke from Warwickshire. Tim Burges
Statistically, we caught well in the outfield last year. In terms of our slip catching in the last few years we have lost some very natural and excellent slip catchers. We have worked very hard to build a new slip corden with only Yards ever having been in there before. Any player who is likely to go in our slips or do bat/pad and silly point are equally committed to try and raise their standards as any player who has gone before them. This is an ongoing process, and one thing you can't criticise the players for is the amount of catches they take in practise and the amount of hours they put into this side of the game. Ed Joyce last year, through two years of hard practice, became a very accomplished slip catcher for us off the seamers and had a record as good as anybody in recent times.
Our biggest area where we struggled was catching off Monty, which is a very specialist position and once again we are working hard with individuals to get them to the right level. Having Yardy back next year will help enormously as he is a natural catcher. It is the same with our silly point and short leg positions where we are having to train new personnel and there is no magic formula, just hard work and commitment.
Who will be the overseas player(s) this season? We need a batsman and (or) a fast bowler! Lloyd Wheeler
We have announced Scott Styris as our overseas T20 player so hopefully that is the batsman you were looking for.
In terms of the 4-day game, the player we are looking for is a bowler who bats. We are close on agreeing with someone for the first half of the season and the T20.
The second half, we are slightly wary of what Monty's situation might be in relation to England and as I said earlier we are monitoring the process of Will Beer before committing ourselves. As I'm sure you are aware, it is very difficult as we have to contend with the IPL and very clouded International schedules and very hard work permit rules which means more players are unavailable than available. We generally find they all want to play in the T20, but don't quite fancy a hard slog in the Championship, and if they do it's often for only a short period.
(Since I wrote this, we've had a few difficulties with overseas players not being able to get NOC's (No Objection Certificate) from their countries in order to play or we have been stuck trying to get round work permit issues and had few options closed due to those reasons. With the likelihood of missing Luke Wright for a minimum of the first five Championship games, it makes it more interesting but I have full belief and confidence of the potential within the squad.)
The recent changes proposed by Morgan are partly fuelled by the concept of too much cricket currently being played. We mere supporters find this a difficult concept to understand, given there's quite a lot of time off in the winter. So could you please show us the error of our ways! Also what do you reckon on the recommendations in the Morgan report generally? All the best, Simon (aka Sweatysock)
Oh Sweaty, I had you in such high esteem! Of course it would be so much simpler if we could play in the winter, but unfortunately the rain, snow and ice get in the way!
In all seriousness, the biggest problem we have is trying to have a schedule which caters for one day cricket which allows a club our size to make some much needed money which we can re-invest to try and take on the bigger clubs such as Surrey etc.
We also all love and cherish the Championship, and are desperate to try and keep 16 games as we have seen the benefit of that and what two divisions has done for the England team. We have to try and fit all this in within the months of April to early September.
The biggest annoyance in doing this is a lack of preparation time the team will have before a game, and the inability to properly debrief and physically recover. Look at the SCCC schedule this year, and you will see some of the difficulties it delivers, i.e. finishing a D/N game against Yorkshire at 10.30pm and then back in the next morning to play a different game against different opposition with a different ball, or finishing a Championship game at Birmingham and having to drive that evening to Canterbury to have to play a floodlit game the following day, driving back and probably arriving back in Hove at about 1.30am. We then travel the next day to Arundel to prepare for a 4-day game against Durham the following day.
The challenge you will have then is having your best players fresh and ready to produce their best skills and play with the intensity demanded by everyone. It is not just about playing when you're tired or sore that frustrates the players, it is about the feeling that you're unable to give your best which every professional sportsman wants to do.
Most people in the game are in agreement that there needs to be a better schedule, but nobody is in agreement as to what that schedule is. The first thing I would do is lose the University Game which would at least create a 4-day window in the schedule. I think the Championship should be symmetrical, whether we play 16 or 14 games, and I'm in favour of 40-over cricket and not 50-overs.
There has been some recent speculation that Luke Wright will be joining the IPL, and missing several matches at the beginning of the season. Can you confirm if this is true, and if so, why have Sussex allowed him to be a part of the auction? Tim Price
We can confirm that Luke has been allowed to be part of the auction. Basically, the club has a choice with a player like Luke of allowing him to go, or be prepared to lose him. We felt as a club we would rather have Luke here playing for three quarters of the season and missing a quarter than losing him completely. We could have a club have a policy whereby we don't allow any of our players to go in the IPL auction, but if we do that it would make the signing of quality players very difficult and the retention of our own leading players very problematic. They only way we can avoid this would be if there is an agreement across all the counties that we wouldn't allow our players to go.
We are in a different era now and one that times is very frustrating for you the supporters, and the management as we're all desperate for our best players to wear the Martlets shirt, not plying their trades elsewhere. We not only risk losing players to IPL, but also obviously to England and now also England Lions, who are playing an increased amount of games during the summer. This is obviously an unfortunate penalty for producing good players.
Sorry for the lateness in replying to the questions as it has suddenly seem to get very hectic, with the overseas situation particularly taking a lot of time and attention.
Sussex is, and always will be, a very proud and ambitious club. We do know though who we are, and what our strengths and limitations are. For us to keep competing with the rich clubs, we have to ensure we are very committed, organised and play with a passion and belief which will help bridge the differences that money can make (that is our bit, the players and coaches). We do though need, as a club as a whole, to stay really close and tight, especially under pressure. Everyone who plays, works and supports the club, either financially (our sponsors) or with their passion and dedication (you, the supporters) have their part to play in helping create an environment where our players can thrive and play without fear.
Tom Blinks/Five Martlets asked several questions about the Hove square and Head Groundsman Andy Mackay has answered them in detail. This will be posted seperately online later in the week.

Emporia State Theatre presents 'Doubt'March 29, 2012
The 2011-2012 season at ESU Theatre continues with the award-winning "Doubt: A Parable." Written by John Patrick Shanley in 2004, Doubt made it's Broadway debut in 2005 winning numerous awards including the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Antoinette Perry Award for Best Play.
Set at a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, "Doubt" concerns Sister Aloysius (Cara Lohkamp, Junior, Wichita), who does not approve of the reforms of Pope John. Nor does she feel that teachers should offer friendship and compassion over the discipline she feels students require to face the harsh world. When she suspects Father Flynn (Noah Mefford, Senior, Burlington) of sexually abusing a student, she is faced with the prospect of charging him with unproven allegations and possibly destroying both of their careers. To help build her case, she enlists the aid of Sister James, an idealistic young nun (Natalie King, Junior, Wichita). Also included in the cast is the alleged victim's mother, Mrs. Muller played by Sophomore Whitney Steinike from Wilson, Kan.
"Doubt" is under the direction of Dr. Jim Ryan. Senior Ross Rundell (Salina) is the set designer with assistance from faculty member Nancy Pontius. Senior Lindsey Jarvis (Paola) will be designing the costumes and senior Trinity Standridge (Olathe) is designing hair and makeup. The lighting designer is Senior Josh Taylor (Salina). The Production Stage Manager is Senior Thomas Govert from Arkansas City, KS, with assistance from Lexey Jost, (Junior, Hutchinson.)
"Doubt" leaves much for the audience to consider after the curtain falls. What exactly is the nature of doubt vs. certainty? When must we act upon our suspicions regardless of the facts? Do the ends justify the means? One of the contemporary theater's most celebrated works, "Doubt" was adapted into a screenplay and became a feature film starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis in 2008.
Performances for "Doubt" are Wednesday, April 4 through Saturday, April 7 and again the following Wednesday, April 11 through Saturday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Ronald Q. Frederickson Theatre in Roosevelt Hall at Emporia State University. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and $5 for students. They are available from the University Box Office, (620) 341-6378.

WOMEN: Sussex Women Crowned T20 Champions!29-Aug-2012
The Sussex women finished their season off in style on Monday at the T20 finals day, by beating Yorkshire in the semi's and then winning in style against Berkshire in the final, to be crowned T20 champions for the first time in three years.
The women started the morning off by facing Yorkshire and having lost the toss were put into bat. Sussex lost two early wickets, however, runs from Sarah Taylor (58 from 47 balls) Holly Colvin (28 from 24 balls) and Arran Brindle (18) helped Sussex rebuild and reach 130-6 off their 20 overs.
Yorkshire started well, putting on 33 for the first wicket, but Sussex bowled tightly and managed to put pressure on the Yorkshire batsmen throughout. After 20 overs, Yorkshire could only reach 113 for 8, with Sussex pick of the bowlers being Georgia Elwiss taking 3 for 9, Alexia Walker 3 for 29 and Izi Noakes 2 for 19.
Sussex then faced Berkshire in the final where they won the toss and elected to field. Sussex opening bowlers, Izi Noakes (3 for 5) and Georgia Elwiss (3-15) bowled with pace and accuracy, taking wickets at regular intervals. Two wickets for Holly Colvin and a wicket a piece for Arran Brindle and Alexia Walker meant Berkshire were bowled out for 52 in 18 overs.
Elwiss and Walker opened the batting and wasted no time in getting the runs, with Walker hitting 39 not out from just 18 balls and Elwiss 14 off 13 balls and reaching the total in 5.1 overs.
The Women have been unbeaten in all forms of the game this year and winning the T20 has capped off a fantastic season for the Sussex Women.
Sussex Women's coach, Charlotte Burton said, "The players deserve to win the T20 this season, they have performed so well in all forms of the game and have been unbeaten in all forms of the game. It is a shame we couldn't win the County Championship due to the weather playing a big part, but to finish as T20 champions is credit to all the players. I know they will come back hungry for more success next year and will look to win the double next year."
There are 3 Sussex players selected for the NatWest Women's T20 Series against West Indies this September, with Arran Brindle, Holly Colvin and Sarah Taylor all making the squad.
Also Sussex players, Hannah Phelps and Izi Noakes have been selected for the England Under 19s to take on Pakistan in two T20s this Saturday. Izi is currently on the Sussex Academy and Hannah was on the Academy last year.

"Never a Dull Moment" is right.
Tommy Lee is ready to take his fourth trip to the altar. Complete with a diamond ring emoticon, the Mötley Crüe drummer, 51, announced on Twitter Monday night that he is engaged to 30-year-old German singer and dancer SOFI.
[Related: Don't Go Away Mad: Mötley Crüe Say Goodbye]
There comes a time in a mans life when you just know your partner is for LIFE!! Say hello to my fiancé and soon to be wife @SOFIofficial 💍— Tominos Pizza (@MrTommyLand) February 24, 2014
SOFI, whose real name is Sofia Toufa, took to being a fiancée pretty quickly.
I'm something that rhymes with Beyonce!!!!! 💍— 'SOFI' (@SOFIofficial) February 24, 2014
The Beyoncé reference is especially appropriate because SOFI started her career in the group Danacee, which was a supporting act for… Destiny's Child. (She was also a backup singer for Britney Spears.)
Like many rock stars, Lee, who is also in the band Methods of Mayhem, has had a full love life. He was married to model Elaine Margaret Starchuk (1984-85), Heather Locklear (1986-1993), and then, most memorably, Pamela Anderson (1995-1998), with whom he has two teen sons.
Lee also was also briefly engaged to Prince's ex, Mayte Garcia, from 2001 to 2003.
So, yes, it's been "Girls, Girls, Girls," as the Crüe sang, but he's ready to settle down again.

Opting for rugged components in smart meter apps
Post a comment
Smart meter applications require consistent improvements to be made upon existing technologies integrated within current systems. Tamperproof components that meet IP67 rating standards are crucial to proper operation of smart meters. In order to keep consumer costs low, smart meter designers only work with standard offering components from trusted manufacturers. Components designed into smart meter applications must meet regulatory standards set by national safety boards throughout the world, causing designers to create switches that are safe for international use. However, there is a growing need within smart meter applications to integrate only the most rugged available components within manufactured designs. Low profile, economical switches suited for harsh military and industrial environments are becoming more commonplace in smart meter applications as they are tested adequately before production for intended use in extreme conditions. Switches and interconnect devices used within smart meters must maintain peak performance characteristics for a long duration of approximately ten years.
Metering functions
Smart meters typically engage in multi-utility metering (electricity, gas, heat and water) while calculating and monitoring power quality characteristics. Automatic reading of consumption measurements help in analysis of energy end use as well as providing real time consumption data to management systems. Automated electronic smart meters offer the utility market the benefits of improved reliability and accuracy with ease of calibration set forth once initially installed by qualified technicians.
Utility companies require their smart meters to offer the best anti-tampering protection available. A large percentage of overall power usage is attributed to theft. Solid-state electricity meters must be able to detect and prevent tampering, which in turn significantly improves control and cost recovery for utility companies. Components, even down to the chip level, must have some sort of anti-tampering measure built into their design, such as key-code protection within the unit itself.
As smart meters become more commonplace for consumer use, added benefits such as utility management and decreased overall energy consumption patterns offer new solutions for all utility customers. With the right capabilities built into chip-level solutions, smart meter deployments can effectively lay the groundwork for expanded customer-service functions, such as wireless integration with thermostats to automatically adjust usage during peak-demand periods. Advanced switches and interconnect devices can also help prevent meter tempering and manipulation such as under-registering, which effectively allows power use without payment. Smart meter designers favor switches with low profiles and advanced tilts that can provide movement detection, tamper protection, and theft detection. In addition, rugged smart card connectors are manufactured with a built-in card detection switch for added security.

Mood Stabilizers for Child and Teen Bipolar Disorder
The above medicines are taken as tablets or capsules (orally).
These medicines are available in syrup, tablet, capsule, and chewable tablet forms.
How It Works
Mood stabilizers help even out the mood swings linked with bipolar disorder by balancing brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that control emotions.
Carbamazepine, divalproex, and lamotrigine are anticonvulsants that doctors also use to treat seizures. It is not known exactly how these medicines affect mood. But experts think they may slow down certain electrical impulses in the brain that are linked to seizures and mood problems.
Why It Is Used
Mood stabilizers may be used to treat sudden manic episodes. Continued use of mood stabilizers can eliminate extreme mood swings of depression and mania and improve your child's quality of life. Your doctor may prescribe mood stabilizers with other medicines (such as antipsychotics) for more effective reduction of mood swings.
How Well It Works
Mood stabilizers have been well studied in adults, but there are currently few studies in children.
Limited research shows that lithium is safe and may be effective in reducing symptoms of bipolar disorder in children.1
Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant medicine which may be effective as a mood stabilizer in children and teens who have bipolar disorder.2
Studies of divalproex show it to be promising as a safe and effective treatment for children with mania due to bipolar disorder.1
Research shows that lamotrigine is effective in treating bipolar II in adults.3
Side Effects
Side effects of lithium may include:
More serious side effects of lithium can include blacking out, slurred speech, and changes in heart rhythm or a heart block (problems with the heart's electrical signals that cause an abnormal heartbeat).
Side effects of carbamazepine can include dry mouth and throat, constipation, problems urinating, dizziness or drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Rare but serious side effects include liver inflammation and problems producing enough bone marrow. The most serious but rare side effect is Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This causes sores on the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, genitals, and eyelids, and it can be fatal.
Divalproex can cause side effects such as nausea, trouble sleeping, or dizziness. More serious but rare side effects include liver function problems, pancreatitis, or a severe allergic reaction. Call your doctor if your child is taking divalproex and complains of headache or experiences shaking, hair loss, drowsiness or weakness, or a depressive episode or other psychiatric changes.
Lamotrigine was well tolerated in initial studies. Some side effects occurred, including headaches, sleepiness, weight gain, and minor skin rashes that developed when people stopped taking the medicine. Serious negative side effects were uncommon. Rare side effects can include dizziness, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, liver function problems and, most seriously, Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on anticonvulsants and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take anticonvulsant medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take anticonvulsant medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
While these medicines have been well studied for use in adults, there are no long-term studies that confirm the effectiveness and safety of mood stabilizers in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder. Be sure to use these medicines exactly as your doctor prescribes them. If your child has intolerable side effects with any of these medicines, call your doctor immediately.
Carbamazepine can interact with other medicines, and a doctor must carefully monitor your child's health when your child takes this medicine.3 Your child should not take carbamazepine along with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), because serious—sometimes fatal—reactions can occur.
Do not stop taking these medicines suddenly. Your child should taper off of these drugs slowly, with guidance from a doctor, to avoid negative and serious side effects.
High blood levels of lithium carbonate can be life-threatening. At first your child will need to have his or her blood checked about every 2 weeks to measure the amount of lithium in the blood and to monitor kidney function. Make sure your child's doctor knows about all the medicines your child is taking. Some medicines can raise or lower the effectiveness of lithium. Some nonprescription medicines, such as ibuprofen (for example, Motrin) or naproxen (for example, Aleve), can increase lithium levels in some people.
Regular blood tests are also needed to monitor the amount of carbamazepine and divalproex in the blood. And your doctor will need to test your child's liver periodically while he or she is taking these medicines.
Mood stabilizers may interact negatively with other medicines and should not be taken with some antibiotics or medicines that treat indigestion, seizures, or heart problems.
Mood stabilizers may increase the chance of birth defects. Be sure to tell the doctor if your child becomes pregnant.

Urine Test
Test Overview
A urine test checks different components of urine, a waste product made by the kidneys. A regular urine test may be done to help find the cause of symptoms. The test can give information about your health and problems you may have.
The kidneys take out waste material, minerals, fluids, and other substances from the blood to be passed in the urine. Urine has hundreds of different body wastes. What you eat and drink, how much you exercise, and how well your kidneys work can affect what is in your urine.
More than 100 different tests can be done on urine. A regular urinalysis often includes the following tests:
Why It Is Done
A urine test may be done:
How To Prepare
Do not eat foods that can color the urine, such as blackberries, beets, and rhubarb, before the test. Do not exercise strenuously before the test.
Tell your doctor if you are menstruating or close to starting your menstrual period. Your doctor may want to wait to do the test.
Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines that color the urine. These include vitamin B, phenazopyridine (Pyridium), rifampin, and phenytoin (Dilantin). Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking diuretics, which may affect the test results.
Talk to your doctor any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A routine urine test can be done in your doctor's office, clinic, or lab. You may also be asked to collect a urine sample at home and bring it with you to the office or lab for testing.
Collecting a urine sample from a small child or baby is done by using a special plastic bag with tape around its opening. The bag is placed around the child's genitals until he or she urinates. Then you carefully remove the bag. To collect a urine sample from a very sick baby, a doctor may use a urinary catheter through the urethra or a needle through the baby's belly directly into the bladder (suprapubic tap).
Clean-catch midstream one-time urine collection
Double-voided urine sample collection
This method collects the urine your body is making right now.
Return the urine sample to the lab. If you are collecting the urine at home and cannot get it to the lab in an hour, refrigerate it.
24-hour urine collection
Your doctor may ask you to collect your urine for 24 hours.
Return the urine sample to the lab.
How It Feels
There is no discomfort in collecting a urine sample.
There is no chance for problems in collecting a urine sample.
A urine test checks different components of urine, a waste product made by the kidneys.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:

Christopher Martin-Jenkins01-Jan-2013
All at Sussex CCC are deeply saddened by the death of Christopher Martin-Jenkins. He was respected throughout the cricket world because of his love for the game which shone through his writing and commentating.
CM-J was a big supporter of Sussex cricket and encouraged us to develop our own players. He was rightly proud of the achievements of Robin and his role in winning the County Championship for the first time in 2003.
Our thoughts are with Judy, Robin and the rest of the family.

Green River Ordinance to play Homecoming gigOctober 2, 2013
A Hall of Fame 1960s rock band from Emporia returns to its roots this month to play the Emporia State Homecoming 150 Alumni and Friends Post-Game Party from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12, in Memorial Union's Webb Hall. Cost for the party is $10 per person.
Green River Ordinance, which was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame in 2010, is a legendary band that features several Emporia State alumni — Glen Andrews (BSE '71 – Biology; MS '73 – Biology; Distinguished Alumni Award - 1991) Steve Graves (BSE '73 – Speech) Bob Yoos (BS '80 – Social Sciences) Jimi Pritchett (Former Student) and Robert Leonard.
Originally called The Invaders, Green River Ordinance toured the Midwest from 1966 to 1971. The band evolved from playing mostly British pop to the West Coast rock and roll, including the San Franciso sound.
On the road, the group played The Red Dog Inn in Lawrence and Wichita, the Store in Emporia, The Fireside Inn in Hutchinson, The Dark Horse Inn in Hays, The Lampliter in Salina, Me and Ed's in Manhattan, The Hilltop Club in Atchison, as well as many other clubs, VFW Halls, and armories. They played in eight states with Jackson, Wyo., near Grand Teton National Park being the farthest they traveled.
Other special guests during the Post-Game Party will be Logan Mize, who will perform a few songs before his concert later that evening at the Granada Theatre, and Elvis plans to be in the building as the Homecoming celebration is "All Shook Up!"

Sussex County Cricket Club and The Guernsey Cricket Board13-Apr-2012
Sussex County Cricket Club and The Guernsey Cricket Board are delighted to announce the formal signing of a 'document of understanding' providing a commitment on both sides to working closely together across all aspects of cricket on and off the field.
The document covers a wide range of areas from Coaching, Training Camps and Talent Identification to Commercial and Marketing Opportunities. The Board's will work to a Mission Statement "to integrate Guernsey into the Sussex Cricket pathway in a seamless, natural manner." In order that this can be achieved a number of key objectives have been agreed;
To support the development of cricket in Guernsey and Sussex
To have a Guernsey player in the Sussex Pro Squad within 10 years
To ensure the profile of the partnership is raised, and displayed, at all opportunities
To maximise the commercial opportunities within the partnership for both parties and their charitable arms
To offer opportunities for exchange programs so that staff at all levels and in all facets of both organisations can benefit from progression and development
An example of the partnership in action was the joint GCB/SCCC EPP Training Camp in Abu Dhabi over Easter. Further evidence will be seen at the weekend when the Sussex CCC Academy side are in Guernsey to play a Guernsey XI at KGV on Saturday 14th April (11.30am start) and Sunday 15th April (10.00am start). On Friday 18th May Guernsey will pop across to The PROBIZ County Ground in Hove and play a 'home' game against a Canada XI.
Commenting on the arrangement, Dave Brooks, Sussex Chief Executive, said "We are pleased with the progress to date with Guernsey Cricket but know that we have to notch it up even further to realise the full potential. There are talented cricketers on the Island, the Island is keen to back its elite sportsman, and this is where we can assist in delivering the dream of a professional cricketer on our staff. And while we chase that, it will improve standards more generally and help Guernsey consolidate and develop its world status in the sport."
Guernsey Cricket Board CEO, Mark Latter, added, "For a number of years now Guernsey and Sussex have had a working relationship primarily evident with the access Guernsey has had to Sussex coaching staff, most notably Andy Cornford and Keith Greenfield.
"It was clear though that when speaking to many outside parties there was a lack of clarity regards the breadth and depth of the partnership and, this was something I was keen to see made far more transparent and, open.
"Working closely with Dave Brooks, the SCCC Chief Executive has allowed us to achieve a fantastic working understanding and set some realistic goals for both sides. Sussex CCC is a Club with great tradition and values and has translated this into success on and, off the pitch. We in Guernsey Cricket believe we share these attributes and are delighted to be connected with all at Sussex CCC."

Student Foundation, Symphony Orchestra partner for Pops ConcertSeptember 30, 2013
Music from the silver screen forms the program for the Emporia Symphony Orchestra's first concert of the fall season.
"We've been wanting to do a Pops Concert for a long time," said Dr. Jeremy Starr, assistant professor of music at Emporia State University. Starr is in his fifth year as conductor of the Emporia Symphony Orchestra.
The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the Granada Theatre, 807 Commercial St. The event is open to the public free of charge, although donations will be gratefully accepted.
Audience members are encouraged to dress in costumes representing their favorite movies as the orchestra pulls from the soundtracks of hits such as "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Gone with the Wind," "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings." Members of the Emporia State Student Foundation will be handing out prizes for the best costumes during the concert's intermission.
"We're excited about collaborating with the Emporia Symphony Orchestra this year for the first-ever Movie Music performance," said Angela Fullen, Student Foundation adviser and director of annual giving for the Emporia State Foundation. Student Foundation members have been helping promote the upcoming concert on campus and in the community.
"The timing was perfect to start our season with a movie music concert and feature live, orchestral music from some of the blockbuster hits," Starr said, noting that the event serves as a lead-in for Emporia State's Homecoming 150 celebration that takes place the following week.
"We're playing some awesome music, so every second of our concert is going to be fantastic," said Emily Lang, sophomore elementary education major from Prairie Village. One of approximately 30 Emporia State students who are members of the community orchestra, Lang plays the viola.
The orchestra also includes another 40 performers who are area community residents and Emporia State faculty or staff members.

Better requirements analysis eliminates design defects
1 Comment
Before finding a more specialized vocation, I spent more than 15 years in
industry developing and testing software. Back then the waterfall
process dominated software development with its distinct phases of
analysis, design, code and test. The theory was that each phase
would be performed in isolation with the output of one being the
input for the next. The intended output was a working system that
passed all tests.
With the waterfall approach, the purpose of the analysis phase was to refine the stakeholders vision of the system and produce a list of requirements, with those for software being itemized in the Software Requirements Specification (SRS). The SRSalways a revered document, its quality typically gauged by its thickness and weightidentified your status in the project team. You were somebody if you could proudly display it on your bookshelf! Of course, no sooner had a print run finished than the SRS was out of date due to a newly found error or ambiguity. No matter how much a project manager wished for the SRS to be error-free, it never was and the change log would begin increasing in size until a new print run became inevitable.
While the waterfall adherents wish for a stable requirements baseline was understandable, the process by its very design dooms a project to a constant state of instability. At its core is an ideal belief that each phase flows with near-perfection into the next and any errors or inconsistencies can be quickly smoothed out via a feedback loop. This may work for two phases; you effectively have a cut-down spiral process. But when you introduce a third or fourth phase, the feedback loops multiply to the point of being unmanageable. Thus when testing uncovers a problem with the SRS, that problem ripples up through all the phases with source code and design inevitably affected. Once the SRS is updated, changes ripple back down again no doubt spinning off secondary and tertiary problems along the way.
Second-class status
Contemporary software development processes and practices address many of the deficiencies found in the waterfall process. The Unified Process and Agile methods evangelize iterative approaches, which are well supported by modern configuration management, modelling, development and testing tools. Unfortunately, the greatest investment has been in improving the design and coding phases since engineers find software construction the most productive and exciting periods on a project. Requirements management and traceabilitytypically viewed as unattractive workis often relegated to a secondary task, if done at all.
Although the commercial pressures of modern life have sharpened up processes in recent years, it remains the case that in general the automotive industry lags behind other sectors. It is no longer fair to suggest that testing is squeezed into the end of the project plan only if time allows, or that requirements documentation becomes little more than a historical curiosity once the pressures of milestones loom. However, in many cases there are too many echoes of the past problems, and few would argue that even the most recent development of automotive software has matched the rigorous ideals of aerospace with its strict DO-178C standard.
Unfortunately, for companies with project teams who operate like this, the cost of identifying and correcting software defects grows by orders of magnitude as they progress undetected from one process phase to the next. Catching defects as early as possible is critical to controlling cost and meeting project timescales.

Don't let your less-than-stellar credit score get you down. Instead, check out these 5 crucial steps to raise your score:
1. Monitor your credit. You can't boost your credit score if you don't even know what it is, much less why. In order to make improvements, you need to know your credit scores and learn more about your credit history and the accounts that affect it. The top credit monitoring services not only provide you with your 3-bureau credit report and scores for free, but they also monitor your credit daily and alert you of any changes. This will help you get educated about your credit and protect you from identity fraud, which can be detrimental to your score. On top of providing you with your personal credit information, many of these services, like Identity Guard, for example, offer personalized "what-if simulators" that will estimate how your credit scores might improve if you took various actions. Not only that, but they explain how certain items in your credit history have positively or negatively affected your score.
Services we recommend include Identity Guard, which monitors your credit daily, updates your credit score every 3 months and comes with a complimentary subscription to Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite, and FreeScoresAndMore.com, which includes all of the same perks plus updates your report and scores every month. Read full reviews of our top picks for credit report monitoring here.
Want to give it a try? Get your 3-bureau credit scores for free by signing up for a free trial.
2. Fix any errors on your credit report. Once you start looking at your credit reports, there is a possibility that you may find an error. In fact, almost 52 million Americans had errors on their credit reports in 2012, according to the FTC. These errors may be simple office mistakes or worse, identity fraud. No matter what the cause of the error is, it could be lowering your credit score. Credit monitoring services like Identity Guard, FreeScoresAndMore.com and TrustedID have helpful resources that can help you file disputes to the credit bureaus, plus they have knowledgable customer support that can help you to boot.
In order to fix any credit report errors, you need to contact the particular credit bureau in which the error was found. To do this, you must first review all three of your credit reports — Equifax, Experian and Transunion. As discussed above, the easiest way to get your credit reports is to sign up for credit monitoring.
If you only wish to look at your credit report to find any errors, you should note that every consumer is entitled to a free credit report each year from annualcreditreport.com. The reason why we recommend signing up for an ongoing credit report monitoring service, however, is because annualcreditreport.com does not provide you with credit scores, it does not help explain your credit scores and because you can only get the report once a year, you will not get the benefit of monitoring, which will help alert you to any changes and in turn, any errors.
3. Minimize your Credit Utilization Ratio. In order to fix your credit score, it is important to know specific variables that affect it. On top of fixing credit report errors and making timely payments on your loans (which I will discuss below), considering your Credit Utilization Ratio is a key element in boosting your score. The ratio is calculated like this:
A higher credit utilization ratio affects your credit score negatively because it shows that you are using more of your credit limit. In other words, it is good to have a large amount of credit available, but bad to be using a large fraction of it.
To combat a high credit utilization ratio:
– Try not using your loans and/or credit cards to their limit.
– Do not close old credit cards, even if you do not use them. The more credit you have available and not in use, the lower (better) your credit utilization ratio will be
– If you do not have enough available credit to lower your ratio, open a new credit card. Currently, there are a number of cards that offer 0% interest for the first 12 to 18 months, read up on these credit cards here.
Note that if you're thinking of signing up for a new credit card, make sure to only apply if you think you will be approved. This is because the credit inquiries that result from applying for a credit card may lower your credit score slightly in the short term; however, if you are approved, the improvement in your credit utilization ratio will more than make up for the initial effect of applying for credit. Want to learn more about signing up? Visit our credit card FAQs page.
4. Stay on top of your balances and payments. If you want to stay on top of your credit score, you need to stay on top of your credit accounts. Not making payments on time lowers your credit score significantly and causes you to pay finance charges. Sign onto your accounts online and make sure you know your balances and payment deadlines, in short — get organized. If you are currently in default on a credit account, it is definitely best to at least pay the minimum amount in order to get current. While a late payment history is definitely bad, currently late payments will destroy your score — pay on time!
If you're tired of paying off your credit card only to accrue more interest, try transferring your balance to a credit card with 0% interest. This way, you can make payments each month without worrying about interest payments. Check out these top balance transfer credit cards.
Signing up for credit report monitoring is a good way to view your credit reports, which lay out all of your past and current accounts in an organized way. This allows you to view all of your accounts and to catch any mistakes you may have made in the past that affected your score negatively.
5. Get a secured credit card. Having and using credit responsibly will raise your credit score, but if you are unable to get a regular, unsecured credit card because of a limited credit history or other credit issues, then a secured credit card, like the Capital One Secured Mastercard, that actually reports to the three bureaus is a great option for you. When you sign up for a secured card, you are required to provide cash collateral, which becomes your credit limit. You can then use this card as you would a regular credit card — making purchases and paying off your balance at deadline each month. For example, if you put a $300 deposit on the secured card, this is the amount you are allowed to spend.
By using a secured credit card and making payments on it you are showing that you are responsible with credit. This will reflect well on your credit score, and if you maintain a positive payment history on the card, oftentimes the company may qualify you for an unsecured credit card. Again, you need to make sure that you sign up for a secured credit card that reports to the three credit bureaus. Find the perfect secured credit card here.

Attempts are likely to have been made to impose a hardline Muslim agenda in other English schools, according to the former anti-terror chief who led an investigation into the Birmingham "Trojan Horse" plot.
Peter Clarke said he would be "surprised" if moves to gain control and influence were only restricted to a few schools in east Birmingham.
Giving evidence to the Commons education select committee, he said it was incumbent on the government to investigate the situation.
"I'm not a great believer in coincidence and I would find it very surprising if this was only happening in the few schools that we had the time and opportunity to look at in east Birmingham," Mr Clarke told the cross-party group of MPs.
"Some of the people who were involved in promulgating these techniques of gaining control and influence in schools have had national roles in various educational bodies and I know have lectured and taken part in conferences in other cities.
"So I think it is incumbent on the Department for Education and others to take a very careful look now to see whether the sorts of things we found in Birmingham are indeed happening elsewhere.
"I don't know, I haven't looked, but I'd be, I suppose in a way surprised, if there weren't, at least, some symptoms elsewhere."
Mr Clarke had been asked by the committee member whether the situation in Birmingham was limited to "a few bad apples", or if it was more pervasive, and if these practices would have worsened if they had been left unchecked.
The former head of the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit was asked by former Education Secretary Michael Gove in April to lead an inquiry in allegations that a number of Birmingham schools have been targeted by individuals pushing a hardline Islamist agenda.
His report, published in July, concluded that there was ''clear evidence'' that there were a number of people, associated with each other and in positions of authority within schools who ''espouse, endorse or fail to challenge extremist views''.
The damning document was highly critical of Birmingham City Council, accusing the authority of failing to support under-pressure headteachers dealing with inappropriate behaviour by governors.
In his report, Mr Clarke said he ''neither specifically looked for, nor found, evidence of terrorism, radicalisation or violent extremism in the schools of concern in Birmingham''.
Ian Kershaw, who led an inquiry for Birmingham City Council into the "Trojan Horse" allegations said he was concerned that some headteachers had not come forward with worries about their own governing bodies.
He was asked by Dominic Raab, Tory MP for Esher and Walton if it was his view that the practices seen in some Birmingham schools would have spread if they had not been unearthed.
"I would have said success would have led to further success from their perspective, and that that group of people have learnt how to manipulate and manage across schools," Mr Kershaw said.
"So, I walked away from Birmingham very conscious that there were some headteachers for example who did not speak to me and probably didn't speak to Peter Clarke either, who in other circumstances would have done.
"In other words, I was left concerned about other heads who have not revealed to me, or to anyone, their deep concerns about what's happening in their governing bodies.
"The answer to your question is complex, yes I am concerned, it's possible that it's spread, but I haven't got any evidence to say it has."
Mr Clarke also told the committee that he thought that there were concerns within Birmingham City Council about confronting the issues due to the fear of being accused of racism or Islamophobia.
"I didn't see any obvious evidence of political self-interest coming into play," he said. "What certainly did appear to influence the approach which was taken to the whole issue by Birmingham City Council was the fear that social cohesion would suffer if the issues were actually confronted."
He added: "Certainly the evidence I received and the impressions I gained were that the fear of being accused of racism or Islamophobia were certainly at the forefront of people's minds."
Mr Clarke's report was the last of four separate probes into the allegations in Birmingham, which were originally sparked by the "Trojan Horse" letter - now widely believed to be a hoax - which referred to an alleged plot by hardline Muslims to seize control of a number of school governing boards in Birmingham.
Mr Kershaw's inquiry for the city council concluded that key individuals were ''promoting and encouraging certain Islamic principles'' in Birmingham classrooms amid poor oversight from education chiefs.
Ofsted issued a damning verdict on the running of a number of Birmingham's schools and declared five failing, placing them into special measures.
These schools are: Golden Hillock School, Nansen Primary School and Park View Academy - all run by the Park View Educational Trust (PVET), as well as Oldknow Academy and Saltley School. A sixth, Alston Primary, was already in special measures.
A DfE spokesman said: "We will investigate any evidence put to us. All schools are subject to a tough inspection regime and the Government has been clear it will not hesitate to take firm and swift action if pupils are being let down or placed at risk."
