PROVO — Freshman Jonny Linehan enjoyed a remarkable first year with the BYU rugby team, and he has been the talk of the town since his championship-winning performance against Cal on May 4. Deseret News reporter Brandon Gurney caught up with Linehan to learn more about his background and how he's enjoying his newfound fame.
What brought you to BYU all the way from New Zealand?
I really had no intention of attending BYU or playing rugby for them until serving my (LDS) mission to Australia. I had a companion who really put the idea in my head and it sort of stuck with me up to the point where I attended general conference in the state of Utah in October of 2012.
During my time in Utah I attended some training sessions BYU had and was really impressed with the quality of rugby they play and just wanted to be a part of it. I wasn't sure if the quality of rugby in the (United States) was going to be all that good, but they certainly play some great rugby here. I was able to qualify for BYU, which wasn't easy, enrolled last January, and I couldn't be more happy to be here.
What do you like most about BYU?
BYU has quickly become a very special place for me. The school is very challenging and much harder than anything I've experienced, but I like that it's challenging and it's forced me to become a lot more studious and that will benefit me for the rest of my life. I learned how to manage my time a bit on my mission and without that experience I really don't think I could have made it here at BYU. I'm just so thankful that everything worked out and I'm able to be here.
You obviously enjoyed a great deal of success as a first-year player. What was the reason for that success?
I had great coaches and teammates that took me in from day one and helped me every step of the way. BYU rugby is a great community of people who really care for one another and support each other. I've just benefited by being a part of the team.
It hasn't all been easy and I had to learn a different position than I was used to, but coaches knew what they were doing and I learned the position well and really improved throughout the season, I feel.
You were obviously the hero of the championship match against Cal. Describe how that whole experience felt and what it meant to you?
What that experience taught me is that hard work really does pay off. Winning doesn't just happen, but if you put in the work and dedicate yourself — like I tried to do all year — great things can happen. The feeling of winning a national championship was unlike any feeling I've ever had and I hope to experience that feeling again over the next few years I'm at BYU.
What do you hope to accomplish during your next three years at BYU and beyond? Could playing American football for BYU be in your plans?
I really would love the opportunity to play professional rugby back home in New Zealand, Australia or even in Europe. I love the game so much and I'm passionate about the sport, but education is my main priority right now. You need a bit of luck to make it at the next level, but I know that getting a good education at BYU will be something I can fall back on if things don't work out playing professionally.2 comments on this story
I've talked to Paul Lasike (a BYU rugby star who played for BYU's football team last fall) about playing American football and some others, and I've come to understand the sport a bit since being here at BYU. Most people think I'd fit in best as a kicker, but if I chose to give American football a try, I think I'd want to play safety. I don't know if I'd be as good of a kicker as everyone seems to think after my winning kick against Cal, but I think playing safety is where I could really help out. Rugby is the sport I'm passionate about, however, and playing rugby is where my heart is.

Epic prison drama The Shawshank Redemption was second with 9% of the vote, followed by Forrest Gump which picked up 8%.

Other films in the top 10, put together after a survey of 3,000 people by streaming and DVD rental service LOVEFiLM, include Dirty Dancing, Groundhog Day and the Hollywood classic It's A Wonderful Life.

Kabul hotel attack raises Afghan security concerns ... Senate panel approves Libya resolution ... Post: Arlington cemetery management focus of criminal probe
A COORDINATED TALIBAN ATTACK on Kabul's landmark Intercontinental Hotel is raising new concerns today about security in Afghanistan now that U.S. withdrawal plans have been announced.
THE ATTACK KILLED AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE and wounded eight, and led to a five-hour firefight in which all eight attackers were killed, three by NATO attack helicopters called to engage Taliban fighters on the hotel roof. http://wapo.st/jgN22f
Story Continued Below
AFGHAN POLICE WERE STILL SEARCHING THE HOTEL TODAY for more casualties or security threats. http://yhoo.it/m0N7ty
THE HOTEL ASSAULT IS THE LATEST IN A STRING of spectacular attacks by the Taliban that seem aimed at conveying an impression of insecurity as U.S. forces prepare to leave. Military officials have warned for months that the Taliban would try that approach, which has little tactical value but could affect the "political sustainability" Gates noted was part of the discussion that led to Obama's decision last week to pull 33,000 surge troops from the country by next summer.
IT COMES AS OFFICIALS from Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States are discussing plans to hand off security responsibility to Afghan forces and reconcile with the Taliban.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY AND WELCOME TO MORNING DEFENSE. Please send feedback and tips to email@example.com, and follow us on Twitter @morningdefense for updates between briefings.
** A message from Northrop Grumman: In celebration of our nation's independence, the employees of Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk program salute the men and women of our Armed Forces for their sacrifices. **
IN WASHINGTON, Allen faced SASC on Tuesday for a hearing on his nomination to replace Petraeus as U.S. and NATO commander in Kabul. He told senators he supported Obama's withdrawal decision, saying it "sends a message of urgency to the Afghans that they must take responsibility for their security themselves."
WHEN ASKED BY MCCAIN if the withdrawal would make his job harder, Allen said: "That's a difficult question to answer," noting that he would not know until he was confirmed.
ALSO IN THE HEARING WAS MCRAVEN, nominated to lead USSOCOM. He told senators that he's concerned about the effects of 10 years of war on the nation's special operations forces. "The force is frayed at the edges," he said.
THURMAN, nominated to be Korea commander, told senators that he would work to strengthen the alliance with South Korea amid the unpredictable and provocative behavior of the North Korean regime.
AFGHAN OPS UPDATE - Afghan forces in Herat province, acting on their own, seized a vehicle containing more than 200 anti-personnel mines, five completed suicide vests, 20 electronic blasting caps, small arms, a large amount of communications devices, and nearly 8,500 pounds of homemade explosive materials, ISAF officials tell Morning Defense. Four people were detained in Tuesday's operation.
SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS voted 14-5 on Tuesday to approve a resolution authorizing U.S. military involvement in NATO's Libya mission just days after the House rejected a similar proposal. The measure, which now goes to the Senate floor, would expire in a year and bar the deployment of U.S. ground troops. Our story is here: http://politi.co/ltNSJR
MEANWHILE, REBELS IN WESTERN LIBYA seized a key base from troops loyal to Muammar al-Qadhafi. As the rebel offensive has stalled elsewhere, forces in the western mountains seem to be picking up momentum, the New York Times reports. Read more here: http://nyti.ms/k57NGZ
LIBYA OPS UPDATE - NATO air forces conducted 142 sorties on Monday, of which 46 were strike sorties. That brings the total to 12,887 sorties and 4,850 strike sorties since March 31.
Raids were conducted near Tripoli, Brega, Ras Lanuf, Zuwarah and Zintan. Key targets hit included command and control nodes in Tripoli and Brega, along with several armored vehicles.
Fourteen vessels were hailed and one boarded Monday in arms embargo enforcement activities. Since March 31, 1,546 vessels have been hailed, 127 boarded and eight diverted.
A REPORT OUT TODAY ESTIMATES THAT FIGHTING in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq has taken 225,000 lives and up to $4 trillion in U.S. spending.

ANOTHER REPORT, from the Federation of American Scientists, explains why Pakistan's Taliban is the terrorist group most capable of acquiring nuclear weapons. The report will be released today at a 10 a.m. news briefing. We'll have the details later.
DATELINE ABBOTTABAD, from McClatchy Newspapers - "Osama bin Laden was out of touch with the younger generation of al-Qaida commanders, and they often didn't follow his advice during the years he was in hiding in northern Pakistan, U.S. and Pakistani officials now say. ... "He was like the cranky old uncle that people weren't listening to," said a U.S. official, who'd been briefed on the evidence collected from the Abbottabad compound and who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS CONDUCTING A CRIMINAL PROBE of the mishandling of remains at Arlington National Cemetery, the Washington Post reports today, citing people familiar with the investigation. Sources said a federal grand jury in Alexandria has been looking into the matter, including whether there was any contracting fraud or falsification of records. Read the story here: http://wapo.st/jG2MTz
THE DOD IG COULD NOT DETERMINE who leaked information about a Pentagon report on the effects of repealing "don't ask, don't tell" to the Washington Post, according to the results of an investigation that surfaced online Monday. The investigative report, which was written in April and circulated by the Center for Military Readiness is labeled "for official use only." It shows numerous emails from Washington Post reporters Ed O'Keefe and Greg Jaffe under scrutiny from investigators. Our story is here: http://politi.co/lbCMoQ
YONATHAN MELAKU IS NOW AN EX-MARINE - The Marine Corps announced Tuesday that the former reserve lance corporal, who was charged last week with federal felony counts of shooting at military buildings in Virginia in October and November, has been separated from the service because of an unrelated grand larceny charge. Melaku did not contest the separation, the Marines said in a statement.
DEFENSE ANALYST LOREN THOMPSON of the Lexington Institute argues in Forbes this week that cost estimates driving the debate over the F-35 JSF are misleading. "Claiming that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will cost a trillion dollars to keep flying over the next several decades is a great way to get attention, but it's no way to frame choices in a system where most of the alternatives are likely to cost more," he writes. Thompson also notes that Lockheed Martin, maker of the F-35, is one of his consulting clients. Read more here: http://onforb.es/lhaVYr

I would like to add, is there any version of Sygic here that provides live traffic option?
I've downloaded Sygic Car on my Android Head Unit. All working. Then I installed the Sygic trial from the store.
Suddenly I noticed real-time traffic started to work on Sygic Car! I was thrilled about this. Worked great. But now it suddenly stopped working. The little traffic icon on the top-left corner no longer appears.
I did the same on my Android phone, and same results. But the strange thing is that traffic still works on there. My phone was even installed before the Head Unit a week ago. Anyone an idea how to get it back to work?
Is this normal, or did I find a big hole in their app?
I would like to add, is there any version of Sygic here that provides live traffic option?
Seems the Trial period was a short one hey.
How long did it last??
Your "head unit" have access to TMC data via RDS or online? Your android phone probably have access to online-TMC and that's why it continue to work.
Do not PM me with questions. That's what a forum is for.
Ok, so now it works on your head unit all the time?
Do not PM me with questions. That's what a forum is for.
Correct. It was still working on my phone after a week btw.
Now it works on both devices (but not at the same time!). This works great now. Especially with the forbidden extra roaming costs in the EU since this month.
I can still download offline maps via my PC and transfer them to my HU via SD or USB, so I'm happy with it.

James Henderson Moran III and Virginia Shumate were married on November 22, 1911, in Newbern TN. This is the shower and wedding announcement as it was reported in The Tennessean. These clippings were among the papers from Virginia Shumate Moran's desk in Dresden, TN.
Shower for Bride-Elect
(Written for last week's Tennessean)
An unusually charming occasion was the miscellaneous shower given by Mrs. Louis G. Norvell Friday,November 17, in honor of Miss Virginia Shumate whose marriage to Mr. James
Moran, of Dresden, Tenn., will be the notable even in social circles on Wednesday, November 22.
A gracious welcome was extended to the guests by Mrs. Norvell who was lovely in white media elaborately hand-embroidered in lavender.
The honoree was beautiful in a handsome gown of lavender broadcloth.
The hostess was assisted in receiving by Miss Martha Belle Shumate. In blue crepe-de-chene, Miss Olive Fields of Dyersburg, in hand-embroidered media with trimmings of real lace, and Miss Grace Shelton, of Covington, in white
The entire lower floor was thrown together, and the attractive decorations, carrying out the color motif of green and white were artistically arranged.
After Mrs. E. Marion Clerc had pres- ented each guest with a daintily hand-painted score card they were invited
into the beautiful dining room where Mrs. Franklin Grisham, in her usual charming manner, served punch.
Rook was played, and upon compario-son of scores, Mesdames William L. Cawthon and Alfred Williams were highest for the drawing. Mrs. Williams was successful in receiving the ex-quisite cut glass vase.
Intense interest was manifested when the bride-elect started in her search for the many and handsome gifts showered upon her by her friends.
Mrs. Norvell made a unique feature in this part of the entertainment by forming an immense spider net of green
ribbon - each ribbon led to the hiding place of some gift.
The Misses Dickey charmingly assisted their sister, Mrs. Morvell, in serving a daintily appointed two-course luncheon in which the color scheme of green and white was attractively used.
The favors were water lilies filled with rice, the latter being used as a farewell shower upon the honoree.
The invited guests numbered sixty. This shower was pronounced one of the most elaborate as well as one of the most enjoyable social functions ever given in Newbern.
On Wednesday evening November 22nd at 7 o'clock in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, before a brilliant assemblage, Miss Virginia Shumate of this city was united in marriage to Mr. Jas. H. Moran, of Dresden, Tenn. Never has Newbern seen a prettier wedding. The chancel was a veritable bank of ferns, palms and hot house flowers, the decorations being simple, yet artistic.
The doors of the church were thrown open to the invited guests at 6 o'clock and long before the hour set for the wedding the church was crowded and large numbers were unable to gain admission.
While awaiting the arrival of the wedding party Miss Annie Lee Hamilton, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Wm. A. Shibley sang a favorite selection of the bride, "oh Fair, Oh Sweet, Oh Holy." Mrs. Shibley presiding at the organ rendered the wedding march and the music during the ceremony.
To the strains of Mendelssohn's the bridal party entered the church. The ushers, L.W. Hughes of Memphis, and Wm. A. Shibley entered on the left while C E. Dickey, of Wynne, Ark., and John M. Drane came in on the right. The Bridesmaids, Miss Grace Shelton, of Covington, Tenn., and Miss Olive Fields, of Dyersburg, both lovely in white satin with draperies of chiffon ?n???ce, and empire sashes of green, each carrying maiden hair ferns tied with spangled green tulle, came next with N.B. Gentry and Harry Jones, of Dresden. The Maid of Honor, Miss Martha Belle Shumate, in green and white crepe meteor, combined with gold cloth, and carrying Killarney roses, never appeared to better advantage or looked prettier than on this occasion. She entered with Dr. Mayo, of Dresden.
The bride in her gown of Duchess Satin paneled with Venetian lace, veil caught with Lilies of the Valley, and bearing in her arms a magnificent bouquet of roses and orchids, showered with Valley Lilies was radiant and beautiful. The Bride was accompanied by her Matron of Honor, Mrs. J. V. Thomas, who was regal and charming in her creation of white messaline with overdress of silver embroidered chiffon and garniture of pearls and carrying a sheath bouquet of white roses.
The groom with his Best Man, Mr Harold (sic) Moran, came from the vestry entrance and met the Bride at the altar, where Rev. J.H. Thomas, using the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony, united them in marriage.
After the wedding an informal reception was had at the home of Mr. Q. Shumate. Among the out of town guests at the wedding and reception were Hon. and Mrs. F.J. Garrett, Harold (sic) Moran, Harry Jones, Dr. Mayo and Mr. Thomason of Dresden, Mr. and Mrs. Cobb and daughter, of Union City, Mrs. Belle Williams of Hickman, Ky., C.P. Shumate and wife, A.M. Tyler and wife of Hickman, KY., Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Thomas, of Paducah, Ky., Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Newman of Memphis, L.W. Hughes, of Memphis and C.F. Dickey of Wynne, Ark.
Mr. and Mrs. Moran were the recipients of many beautiful and costly gifts, attesting the high esteem in which the young couple are held by the army of friends. The Groom's gift to his Bride was a beautiful diamond pendant, while the gift of the Groom's father was a chest of silver.
Mr. and Mrs. Moran took passage on an evening train for New Orleans and other points South where they will spend several weeks, after which they will be at home in Dresden. The Bride's going away gown was gray, with hat and accessories to match.
Mrs. Moran was one of Newbern's prettiest and most charming girls and will be greatly missed in the social life of our city. However, what is Newbern's loss is Dresden's gain.
Mr. Moran is a banker of Dresden and stands high socially, and in the business world of his home town.
The Tennessean extends to the happy twain its warmest congratulations and wishes for them a long, happy and prosperous married life.

Pete Browne has won trophies in each of his last three seasons and wants to keep that run going with London Welsh.
The former Harlequins lock has been a consistent feature in Welsh's engine-room this campaign, apart from a six-week spell out injured.
And as the season builds towards a climax that the Exiles hope will mean promotion, Browne's winning experience could prove key.
"In the three years I was at Quins, there was a cup won every year," he said.
"Firstly the Amlin Challenge Cup, then the Premiership and last season the LV= Cup.
"Having a winning mentality is something that Justin wants everyone to have at this club.
"I believe that we are one of the best if not the best team in the Championship."
Browne added: "There is a good bunch of boys here. We are totally united.
"We have definitely got each other's backs and are pushing for each other in the right way.
"We want to get that promotion."
Browne was one of head coach Justin Burnell's first signings last summer.
Although he dropped down from a leading Premiership side to one seeking a return to the top flight, the 26-year-old is happy at the move.
"I'm really pleased to be playing a lot," he said.
"I started the season well, but then had a foot injury and was out for six weeks, so I actually missed the Bedford game we lost.
"I am pleased that Justin is putting his faith in me.
"That's why I came to London Welsh – I wanted to play."
Welsh won their first nine league matches before losing 28-26 at Bedford on November 30.
With Bedford visiting the Kassam Stadium tomorrow, Browne admits that gives the Exiles an extra incentive to perform.
"Going to their place and losing our winning run was a lot down to our own performance," he said.
"If we play to our potential and go through the tactics we have been working on, it should be a really good day.
"I definitely think we have got a lot more to come.
"As the ground hardens up, that will suit our style more."

Hot-water from photovoltaics
Electricity is the energy carrier of the future!
Not only in cars, even for heat.
With the ELWA products you can use solar power at its best. Generate heat. Simple, efficient and sustainable.
The system uses solar power for water heating in a boiler and optimises the energy consumption of the household with professional controls.
Four choices for your individual solution
As an autonomous solution ELWA completely replaces the conventional heating system in summer. When grid-connected ELWA only uses the excess solar power and raises the self-consumption ratio from 30% to 89%. The systems are designed for your individual needs and can be used in all residential projects.
Hot-water-excess-utilisation in photovoltaic storage systems
Again a very simple solution: Using excess with the flexible controllable AC ELWA-E.
With the AC ELWA-E you can use PV-excess for water heating, e.g. after a battery is fully loaded, and raise your self-consumption ratio to nearly 100%.
Hot-water in off-grid PV-systems
And another more: Excess in AC off-grid PV-systems can now be used easily with AC ELWA-F.
Previously, excess energy was completely lost when batteries were loaded. With the AC ELWA-F you use it for hot-water.
You reach a far better system utilization.
Use the excess solar-electricity
The ingeniously simple excess-management-solution from my-PV!
With the AC ELWA you can upgrade new or existing PV-systems without any problems - and raise your self-consumption up to 89%.
Excess power is simply used in your boiler or storage tank. Without expensive storage batteries!
Convince yourself about the advantages of our solution: Hot-water + electricity in one system!
Autonomous hot-water with photovoltaics: the patented ELWA
Hot-water with photovoltaics is a new technology. It was possible because of the enourmous decline in prices of PV-modules. We have recognized this trend early and patented the idea. In contrast to conventional solar-heat-systems there is no closed loop with liquid, but cables that carry the energy from the modules to the boiler.There is the ELWA, our invention. It is mounted in the boiler and heats up the water. There is no need for pipings and pumps. Problems with frost and steaming collectors are now things of the past. It is much more simple and cost efficient.
The products of the ELWA-family are developed and produced in Austria.
Trust in quality Made in Austria.

Blink 182 officially announce Sidewaves
Blink 182 have finally (really, actually) announced their Soundwave sideshows.
Following on from not one, but two false starts early this month Tom, Mark and Travis have revealed they will play additional shows at Allphones Arena in Sydney on February 20, The Marquee in Brisbane on February 22 and the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on February 26.
Already confirmed as headliners alongside Metallica and Slayer at Soundwave Festival next year these will be the first gigs that Blink have played in Australia since 2004, after which they went on an "indefinite hiatus." Since their emotional reunion in 2009, triggered by drummer Travis Barker's near-death experience in a plane crash, the band has released new album, Neighborhoods, which FL described as, "Blink 182 how they should sound now."
Reviewing their comeback show in Manchester, Hive Magazine concluded: "They ended on a 3-song encore and the crowd screamed at the top of their lungs for one more song. There was a great sense of nostalgia and Blink 182 proved that they still have what they've always had. "
Recently FL went in to bat for the pop-punk heroes, defending their 1999 cross-over hit Enema Of The State. Check it out here!

As a manufacturer and distributor of fast-moving consumer goods,
The purchase of an 82 per cent stake in Home Appliances occurred in March. The consideration of $22 million was funded through a $24 million placement at $2.20 per share. Home Appliances is a large Australian-owned supplier of cooking products, selling about 100,000 appliances each year. It covers a wide range of product areas including ovens, cooktops, range hoods, microwaves and coffee machines. Cleaning appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines are also part of its range.
While there could be challenges upfront during the integration process and particularly while consumer spending is under pressure there is evidence to suggest that this may well be a very lucrative investment. The key to businesses such as these is brand ownership and in the case of Home Appliances 90 per cent of revenue is generated by company-owned brands.

In the lovely town of Pleasant Valley in upstate New York, the maple trees were ablaze with fall's blood-red color. The air was crisp. And a woman named Susan Fassett left her weekly choir practice at a church - when a killer emerged from the shadows and mercilessly gunned her down.
....was a realm of sexual depravity where murder was the last sin.
Stunned, the police immediately suspected Susan Fassett's husband and surrounded his home. They couldn't have been more wrong. Susan Fassett had been living a secret life, lost in a world of dominance, lesbian sex, betrayal - and a depraved plan for murder. After detectives untangled a web of secrets and corruption hidden in plain sight, the town of Pleasant Valley would be rocked again when a shocking trial exposed the whole sordid truth.

"Great Book!"
A chilling account of a murder-for-threat plot, a master manipulator and the tragedy of both victims and criminals. One of the best!
"True crime gem ..."
M. William Phelps does it again with this true crime book. The narrator is good except when he swallows the last word of a sentence. Sometimes I've had to rewind but now enough to be truly annoyed. So, Phelps and Charles made a good team.
"another gripping Phelps"
Hard to believe that this is a true story!
Reads exactly like the description
another family ruined by sex and power,
"Narration is Frustrating"
I am writing this review prematurely, as I have not yet finished the entire audiobook, but I just had to weigh in on the narration. It's AWFUL! I constantly have my hand on the volume control, adjusting to where I can hear the narrator's mumbling, which then becomes too loud because he starts to speak and enunciate clearly. Another reviewer said that the narrator swallows his words at the ends of sentences - that is an accurate description. This is the second time I've listened to this narrator read a book; I'll never make that mistake again. It's a shame, because so far, this is a great "page turner"!
"unsatisfactory ending but that's what happened."
never read print version
no fave as this was not that kind of story. it was a true crime story. i guess jason.
as always it was great!
disappointment that the book ended the way it did. but it is a true story and true stories don't always end the way that pleases the reader.
this reminds me of another true story about a guy who was in charge of maintenance of the scenectiy shcool system AND the union for the workers of that dept. if this guy had the chance he would have been another killer. the story i heard was on npr this american life segment. it was amazing how similar these guys are!
here is a link. the segment is almost an hour long but worth listening to.

By Miranda S. Spivack
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 29, 2010; 7:44 PM
Prince George's County Executive-elect Rushern L. Baker III endorsed longer school days for the county's elementary and middle school students, who now have among the shortest instruction times in the state.
"You extend the days, we will talk about [funding] it," Baker told a gathering of school officials and incoming County Council members at Prince George's Community College Monday. "As a parent, I support this."
The average school day in Maryland is seven hours for elementary and middle schools, State Superintendent of Schools Nancy S. Grasmick said. In Prince George's, the school day is six hours and 15 minutes.
Neither Baker nor any of the officials estimated the cost of extending the school day in the county's 131 elementary schools, 29 middle schools and sevencombined elementary-middle schools.
"We'd love to be able to add more time," said Prince George's schools superintendent William R. Hite Jr.
He said a longer school day could help the system expand physical education and foreign language programs.
Some of those programs are getting short shrift because schools must emphasize improving student scores on standardized tests to continue to receive federal and state funding. Those tests mostly focus on math, reading and writing, and the results are a key barometer state and federal officials use to determine whether school systems are improving student performance.
Baker, who campaigned in part on fixing the county's struggling public schools system, has said he plans to install an education liaison in his new administration. How the county addresses the schools' challenges remains the province of the elected school board and the County Council, which allocates funding to the 128,000-student system, however. Baker and the new County Council will be sworn in Monday.
Largely unknown is where Baker and other county officials will get the money to extend the school day. The system's $1.6 billion budget is more than half the total county budget, and school officials recently said they would need millions more to maintain current programs.
Baker's commitment to a longer school day was welcomed by school officials at the meeting, a briefing on education issues led by Grasmick for newly elected officials in Prince George's.
"I support it," said Verjeana M. Jacobs, chairman of the Prince George's school board. "It's a good idea from a reform perspective. The question always has been money."

Build Log
HobbyKing Yak55 44.4" EP (new thread)
Hello all!
SkyCadet here. Looking at building a new HobbyKing Yak55 here in the upcoming few weeks. Just waiting for it to arrive!
Meanwhile, I plan to share here and on my blog the details of my build. I welcome all memeber who have an interest in or have currently this seemingly neat 3D-capable plane!
Here are the specs of HK's website...
Wing span: 44.4in (1120mm)
Length: 40in (1000mm)
Flying Weight: 32-35oz (about 900g)
Motor: 35-XXC 1100kv
Battery: 2200mah 3s 25C Lipoly
ESC: 40~50Amp
Servo: 4 x 15~20G park size
More to come shortly!
Power system for my Yak55...
I plan to use an RCTimer A3536-6 1250Kv motor. It fits into the firewall (mounting apparently with this unit is required to be internal/reversed with the can BEHIND the firewall.
3S with a Turnigy 45A ESC, 4xdigital servos (pics to come when arrive).
Yak goodies due to arrive either tomorrow or early next week!
Well I am very excited by the prospect of getting this plane into build mode!
I ordered a SECOND unit to have spare parts standing by, and also in the event the first unit has any issues.
Will shoot pix of the newly-arrived package when I get it!
that plane looks nice. been eyeballing this one myself. let us know what you think of it.
First impressions...
The YAK55 arrived yesterday!
It came reasonably well-packed and arrived with no damage, save a very minor chip on the front of the fiberglass cowl - an easy fix.
IMO, a VERY nicely made product. Well put-together, all hardware is included.
Minor issues: manual is pretty plain, with poorly included pix, however, if one has worked on these models before (balsa ARFs), the construction is rather intuitive.
The slots for servos are marked, but due to the color of the covering in places, are a bit tricky to find. not too bad though... Covering is excellent, and fit of control surfaces on my sample is superb. I'm going to have to custom-fit some ply blocks ot mount my digital HD1810 servos (HKing) in order to fit them, but it's not a big deal. I'll also be color-matching the wood to the underside of the wings (see pic).
I also plan, once my motor/spinner come in from eBay (RCTimer motor, and 2" spinner), I'll be able to do up a custom vane system like the scale YAKs I've seen using a spare 46mm filter ring (photographic) and aluminum 1/8"x1/4" streamline tubing for detailing. The firewall will be blackened, and re-inforced using carbon rod (1/8") and the inner mains gear strut mount will also be reinforced.
More to come!
Servo blocks fit!!!
Just finished epoxying the servo block inserts to fit my servos to the plane. Pix below. also have my cowling vanes cut and need to mount them. Next up, inserting the elevator wire, and make the slots for the CA hinges a bit larger for my slightly beefier than stock CA hinges.
Horizontal stabilizer done, canopy detailing...
My horizontal stab has been affixed to the fuselage. It lined up nicely, but had a slight horizontal mis-alignment. I reclamped the fuse, top and bottom and the stab aligned nicely. Double checked with the wings test-fitted to make sure.
Detailed the canopy with 3M black vinyl. Cut two 4mm wide pieces to fit over the bubble to make look more scale. Also, I have on order a CF gear strut for the Yak! It will look more scale and is better suited to this model. HobbyKing HK280-148 --- this is a 15cc size gear, but the specs are perfect for this model. It will have a 3" wider wheel base on the mains, and the height will be around 1.3-1.4" taller than the kit gear. MUCH better for landing and better for my 11x7x3-blade propeller clearance.
Pix of canopy and CF gear below, tail is still drying - used Weldbon wood glue for the tail, as the CA or epoxy may not have been as well covered into the wood. I did this with my Pitts 12 15e tail and it worked VERY well.

Starting to look like a YAK!
Well, we've got the tail section done, the cowling trimmed, the firewall, painted and reinforced, and the canopy done!
Waiting on the motor and CF mains gear to arrive, so I am finishing th eailerons today, and then mounting the servos and control horns. I've taken a few shots with the cowling on the unit, with it over the firewall. There's lots of airflow, so cooling will be a non-issue.
Something occured when test-fitting the cowling: the firewall is LONG - about 4"/100mm. the cowl as the kit stock arrangement suggests, sits on four screws, all in a ~60 degree angle, about 30 degrees from horizontal. This leaves nothing holding the cowl on at the top and bottom, save ~1/4" or so of firewall to the front fuselage! It also won't withstand much damage insofar as a noseover, or inadvertent bump during transport, IMO!
I will be placing two blocks top and bottom to assist in guiding the cowl into position, and use some CF rod on the motor mount to act as both guides and supports for the firewall. Otherwise, I think that this plane will have cowl issues.
My front cowl on the intake is planning to have a ring of 1/8"x1/4" aluminum streamline to make the plane look like scale, but I'll have to wait until the motor gets here so I can test fit everything first to adjust for cowl clearance and prop location on the motor shaft.
There is no specific location for a radio tray in the plans! I thought that sort of odd... So, I made a piece to fit on the bottom of the plane next to the battery tray to fit the RX and tie off any servos wires.
More pics and info to come during the build!
Other than this issue, I think that the kit is really nice.
Cowling detail done!
I finshed the vanes for the cowl!
See pics below, details on the vanes in my blog...
Starting to look like a Yak!
Well, I finished the Aileron hinges, and am ready to mount the servos. Still waiting on the motor and spinner.
Something I realized when putting the wings back on for a look at the plane is that this model is bigger than I thought! Nice!
However, the wings (and manual also does not cover this!) don't go onto the plane with any accomodation for the servo wires! So, I'll put in a 1/32" ply insert and cut some small slots large enough to permit this. I have to add the radio tray as well, and also some mains reinforcements in the fuselage anyway, so I can do all the inner airframe mods in one go. Then, servos and horns.
The kit looks pretty sweet so far, I am having fun getting this all spec'd out...

Servos installed, RX tray and fuselage innersides done!
I finished installing the servos, into both the wings and tail. Ran a 12" extension on the servos in the tail, and will be using HK servo wire clips on the wings so that a Y harness can affix the wing servo connections.
Also paint-tinted the outer fuselage front and epoxied the RX tray onto the rear runner behind the battery tray.
I used CF rod/1" balsa blocks on the mains for reinforcement, pictures shown below... Now, just motor, setting the horn throws, and then connecting the electronics!
Sky Cadet
Motor mounted, ESC wired up, test fit cowl, and gear done!
Well, My gear (CF) and motor arrived in the mail late on Friday.
This weekend, I installed the motor, wired the ESC to be ready, and fnished the mains CF Struts, plus did a test fitting of the cowl, vane, and prop. PERFECT!
Everything is coming together nicely. See pictures below...
I am still awaiting the spinner, but otherwise, it's now just a few hours away from being ready to fly...
Only control horns, thorw settings, and final cowl install and electronics affixing in the plane to be done!
Servos done, final assmebly underway!
I finished my servos and have everything pretty much ready to assemble. I still have to finish mounting the cowling, and the radio/electronics inside the plane, but it's off to the final stretch!
I shot two pix of the plane without the wings attached (easier to work on electronics placement without them on there for now), and have the cowling test fit one final time with the prop. It loos great with the vanes in there!
My tests of the motor system (an A3536-6 or 1250Kv/500W RCtimer unit with MAS 11x7x3 propeller, 45A Turnigy ESC) running 3S was as follows:
WOT: 325Wp, 37Ap; 50%: 130-140W, ~11.5A nominal
(battery had been test run for 1 minute over some settings prior to WOT, so normally, this would be in the 360-380W range on a full battery)
Since my ESC can handle 45A nominal, and over 55 peak, I am fine. Also the motor is rated at 500W, so the extra 100-120W of tolerance is most likely fine too. I can even prop up to a 12x6x3 before getting into the red zone, apparently.
I'll run it like this for now, to see how she flies. It is certainly in the regime I was targeting fo rwiht this power system...

Participate in setting the Strategic Research Agenda
Please read before filling in the questionnaire!
Stakeholders and organisations with an interest in the illicit drug field who want to report their priorities for research, but haven't been approached by us, can fill in the questionnaire online. Before clicking the link at the bottom of this page, we ask you to read the information below carefully. We appreciate your contribution!
Strategic Research Agenda
The development of shared priorities for research on illicit drugs, both on demand and supply issues, and the funding of joint research projects in this field are the main objectives of ERANID. After having produced an overview of recent policy frameworks, funding programmes and projects on illicit drug research and of ongoing and planned projects and programmes, it's now time to prepare a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA). From the SRA research priorities will be selected for common calls, that will be supported by the ERANID Countries' joint research budgets.
What topics are relevant?
This survey is addressed to a large spectrum of stakeholders with an interest in the illicit drugs field (professionals, civil society, administrations, scientists, decision-makers) and collects ideas about what these stakeholders think are relevant questions to be addressed by research, in order to improve problem solving in the different areas of the illicit drug field. In this survey research priorities coming from all dimensions of illicit drugs phenomena could be addressed:
- Health issues (prevention/dissuasion, treatment, harm reduction, social rehabilitation)
- Legal and law enforcement issues (crime, seizures, prisons, etc.)
- Economic aspects (production, distribution chains, gross and street markets, etc.)
- Evaluations (Social, Health or Economic Impact evaluation, etc.)
- Policy, governance, etc.
What happens with the results?
The results of this survey will provide a variety of different perspectives about the research needs identified by stakeholders in each country. The perspectives will be presented and discussed in each ERANID country through National Consultations with selected stakeholders. National consultations will take place in January/February, 2014.
Putting together the list of research priorities and the findings on recently conducted and ongoing research in the EU, a shared ERANID Strategic Research Agenda will be developed, presented and discussed during the INTERNATIONAL ERANID CONFERENCE to be held on May 20th, 2014, in Lisbon.
Start the questionnaire
If you decide to participate, you will be asked to answer some identification questions and to give your suggestions about research needs inside and outside your main area of work or interest. We will ask you to summarise topics, gaps and/or questions that research should address in order to contribute to improve interventions in some of the illicit drugs fields. If you want, you can also assign priorities to the needs you will identify and suggest the disciplines that could be mobilized to find the answers.
Start the questionnaire!
The online data collection will end on December 15th, 2013.

ATLANTA - The University System of Georgia is using computers to address the state's shortage of nurses.
The computers don't replace the angels of mercy but instead provide a convenient way for veteran nurses to keep their jobs while they earn a doctorate degree needed to become college instructors.
One key factor in the nursing shortage is an instructor shortage, not a lack of students. Nursing schools across the state regularly turn away qualified students because they don't have enough instructors, and simply adding more students to each class risks the accreditation that hinges on a maximum student-teacher ratio.
So, the University of West Georgia is asking the Board of Regents for permission to offer its doctorate in nursing education via the Internet. Georgia Southwestern State University wants to offer a masters in nursing education.
As nursing professors get older and retire, replacing them gets harder and harder, according to a memo explaining the universities' request.
The number of nursing graduates from research-focused colleges in the South dropped more than 20 percent in the last school year, according to the memo from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
"As the professoriate continues to age, the lack of faculty with doctoral-level credentials will become critical to pipeline issues with projected retirements," according to the memo.
Boosting nursing numbers is a priority for the regents. A task force spent months working on ideas, and one finding was that practicing nurses often can't afford to leave work to return to graduate school in another city for a doctorate. The online course solves that problem.
The regent's Committee on Academic Affairs will consider the request today.

Weather brings a heavy impact
THE recent bad weather has had a weighty impact on Northern Ireland's health and wellbeing.
A survey released by the National Lottery Good Causes shows 31% of adults admit to piling on the pounds because they have been spending more time indoors due to the unseasonal weather.
A third confessed they were eating more comfort food than usual, while 42% said they were unable to exercise regularly.
The National Lottery is encouraging more people to get active, whatever the weather. In the last five years, more than £2bn of National Lottery funding has been invested in community sport and projects that boost people's health.
National Lottery funding gives people low-cost ways of improving their health in their own areas. It has improved community and sports centres, parks, the National Cycle Route, walking paths and nature trails throughout Northern Ireland.
With summer on its way, it's the perfect time to get outdoors.

Rex Ryan Turns the Tables on the Media Which Means Nothing for His Coaching Skills
It's on days like Saturday, when New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has the crowd eating right out of his outstretched hand, that it's easy to think that maybe the guy isn't that big of a boob after all.
After all, if there's one thing Ryan knows how to do better than draft a competent quarterback, it's work a room. That and many, many other things, but we digress…
After his team practiced on Saturday in Cortland, N.Y., Ryan decided to have some fun with the Jets media, a sometimes odd brigade with an unhealthy obsession of Bill Belichick, that often carries itself as if it were assigned to cover games under the Big Top, which, well…
Ryan summoned ESPN New York's Rich Cimini – in his 26th season, the senior member on the Jets beat – to take the podium, as he chose to join the scribes and ask the questions on this day in a role reversal press conference.
Cimini wrote about the experience for ESPN New York:
"I wish I had turned sideways during one of Ryan's questions, impersonating his now-infamous response during the postgame grilling after the Mark Sanchez injury last summer, but it didn't cross my mind as I stood behind the podium. I obviously choked under the pressure. I'm sure Ryan would've laughed. Clearly, he doesn't take himself too seriously.
"Not many coaches would've staged a role reversal. Could you imagine Belichick sitting with the evil media and asking questions? Not a chance. In a league of paranoia and tight rear ends, Ryan is a rare breed.
"He's a regular guy, willing to hang out with those who sometimes make his life difficult. That says a lot about a person."
After Cimini finished writing, he and Rex apparently got some frozen yogurt together, then took a jolly skip through a field of daisies – with Harry Nilsson blaring from a car off in the distance – to work off the calories.
Good grief.
It may indeed say a lot about a person, but it says next to nothing about a coach. With a pair of 8-8 campaigns sandwiching a 6-10 season the last three years, 2014 could be a make-or-break year for Ryan as head coach of the Jets, a team the head coach insisted was good enough to be in reach of the Super Bowl last month. Then everybody just kind of giggled at the words any coach in his same situation might say.
"I'm just telling you that I believe this team is on the cusp of doing some special things," he said. "I'm confident we will be a playoff team."
Thirty-one other coaches say that, and it's filed as a throwaway line. In the thirsty New York media, especially coming from Rex Ryan, it's an intentional, brash shot at the rest of the league. And the rest of the world acts accordingly by rolling their collective eyes.
This is what happens when you are a laughingstock like the Jets. But hey, what a fella. No arguments here.
Of course, if the same tables were turned, as Cimini suggested, in Foxborough, the results might lead to Belichick giving a much deeper look into his feelings for the everyday media. In terms of laughs, Ryan would be "Caddyshack," while Belichick would be "War of the Roses," a dark comedy that aims at an introspective look of a person's true being wrapped in a satirical nature. Knee slaps vs. uncomfortable fidgeting. I do suppose it would be worth it if only to see whether Belichick would pepper a member of the media with an in-depth scheming question that he or she couldn't possibly answer, or just show how dumb it sounds when somebody asks if the [insert dome, heat in Miami, thin air in Denver, etc.] will play a big role in the game.
Ryan's stunt was cute. Transparent, but cute.
Everybody Loves Rex. If Ryan is headed out after this season, at least he can have some people on his side on his way out the door.
That's because everybody loves a winner too. There's zero guarantee that they can be the same person.

EXCLUSIVE: Katie Holmes has signed with ICM Partners. She leaves CAA.
The move occurs just after the Broadway closing of the Theresa Rebeck play Dead Accounts, which Holmes starring in. She next appears in the untitled Christian Camargo-directed film with William Hurt, Jean Reno, Ben Wishaw, Mary Rylance and Allison Janney, and she also starred in Broadway in the revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.
I can remember when Holmes, thanks to her success as the Dawson's Creek cutie, and she was building nice movie momentum in films like Ang Lee's The Ice Storm, Curtis Hanson's Wonder Boys and Sam Raimi's The Gift. When she married the planet's biggest movie star, Tom Cruise (a CAA fixture), it understandably overshadowed everything else. Now that she's on her own, there is an opportunity for her to recapture that early mojo, either on TV or on the movie screen, and it will be the job of ICM Partners to facilitate that. Holmes is still managed by John Carrabino, and lawyered by Robert Offer.

Google has released software that will allow organisations to control how employees use the internet, protecting them against malware attacks in real time.
According to a blog post by Tim Johnson, product marketing manager, Web Security for Enterprise will also provide tools to help enterprises create and enforce internet policies. An add-on feature extends the same security to remote users by automatically directing all off-network traffic to a scanning infrastructure that enforces policies to protect users' computer, a product that protects organisations against malware attacks in real time.
The product allows organisations to control how employees use the internet, the application is powered by Postini, which Google acquired last year, and uses technology from ScanSafe. It is integrated with Google Apps security and compliance messaging services.
Google Web Security for Enterprise protects against web viruses, spyware and zero-hour threats, Google said, and also protects networks and users from undesirable web content, file types and MIME types, monitors online activity with comprehensive reporting, and reduces bandwidth congestion.
Google Web Security for Enterprise also applies acceptable use policies to remote employees, enhances privacy by automatically encrypting web traffic whenever users connect to public networks, and eliminates the need for users to connect to the network over the corporate VPN.
A Google spokesman said the service costs $36 (£18) a year per user and an additional $12 (£6) per year for each remote user. He said it was a re-branded, less expensive product that had been offered by Postini.

The DCnU Take 2: CAPTAIN ATOM
exclusive new artOver the past year, Captain Atom emerged as a central character in the bi-weekly series Justice League: Generation Lost.
Now that the DCU is relaunching, Captain Atom gets his own series by writer J.T. Krul, who's also launching a new Green Arrow in September. For the new series, he'll be working with Freddie Williams III of Robin fame.
The first time we spoke with Krul about the comic, he said the book was about humanity, but takes off right away in issue #1.
"It's on the intense side — and brings a very sci-fi feel to the character," Krul said. "We wanted to explore the vast powers Captain Atom possesses and really make it a journey of discovery — both for the reader and the character as well. It's not a primer on quantum mechanics and physics, but the scope of Captain Atom's abilities touch upon such areas, so that science fiction vibe comes through loud and clear. But at the same time, it's a visceral story — pushing Captain Atom to his very limits — even in the first issue."exclusive new art In the next installment of our DCnU Take 2, we talk to Krul about Captain Atom and get a few more details of what to expect in this part of the New 52.
Newsarama: Is there anything you couldn't talk about or detail before, when we first talked about Captain Atom, that you can tell readers now?
J.T. Krul: One of the big names in the history of Captain Atom will be seen again right away as Dr. Megala — the man responsible for the accident that gave Captain Atom his powers — plays a key role in the book. As our hero struggles with powers he cannot fully control and concepts his limited mind cannot fully grasp, Dr. Megala is there to help him.
This instability within Captain Atom is something that will plague him throughout the book and will spill over into the minds of others — including those in the hero community. He's not in the JLI because he's not wanted there. And, right away in issue #3 he'll cross paths with the Flash — but don't expect your run of the mill team-up.exclusive new art We're introducing a brand new threat in the very first issue that will start small and explode in the upcoming issues. It's a very creepy and deadly threat and has a direct connection to Captain Atom.
Nrama: Now that you've seen the reaction from fans to the news about your comic, what are the top three things you want to clarify about it?
Krul: One — There is a bit of a Doctor Manhattan vibe with Captain Atom, but they are very different people. Nathanial wasn't a top scientist before the accident; he was an Air Force pilot. He's more in tune with the everyman in that regard.
Two — That wispy on his head is energy, not hair.
Three — Yes, Freddie Williams II is doing a phenomenal job on the book.
Nrama: Now that you're further into writing the comic, how would you describe the direction your title is taking?
Krul: This is not your typical superhero book. In many ways, it's a sci-fi story focusing on a man who is not really a man anymore - and the ways in which that shapes his path and decisions. Once you are able to see and experience the world from an entirely different viewpoint, how can you possibly be the same? He's a stranger in a strange land, but he's from around here. He's no alien, but feels isolated and alone regardless.Nrama: What character(s) in your comic do you expect to become beloved by fans? And why?
Krul: It's been a long time since Captain Atom has had his own book, and I really feel that he deserves a book like this. He's one of the most, if not the most, powerful characters in the DCU. There's almost nothing he can't do, but the story rests in the decisions he makes and determining what he should do. And he'll discover that sometimes there are no easy answers.
Nrama: Most important thing you want readers to remember about your comic?
Krul: It comes out September 21st and it's an amazing looking book! if you're a fan of Captain Atom, you'll love it. If you don't know who Captain Atom is, you'll still love it. And if you're a fan of Captain Kangaroo — well, we tried to take care of that, too.Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

New York, Aug 20 (IANS) Business-oriented social networking service LinkedIn has launched a free app to help you find your co-workers and learn more about their background.
"With 'Lookup' app, you can search for any coworker based on his or her name, title, experience, education and skills," Ankit Gupta, LinkedIn's senior product manager, said in a blog post.
The new app makes professionals more productive and successful by helping them easily find, learn about, and contact their coworkers.
"We discovered in April that about 30 percent of members who search for people on LinkedIn each month view their coworkers' profiles," Gupta wrote.
"We wanted to find out why, so later that month we surveyed 814 professionals in North America about how they use their companies' intranets," he added.
Only 38 percent of professionals said their companies' intranets are effective at helping them learn about their coworkers.
Nearly 58 percent said they could do a better job if they could find coworkers with specific skills.
"That's why we developed 'Lookup'," Gupta added.
This is how it works.
Download the app and sign in with your official email address.
Now you can search and view any co-worker at your organisation that has a LinkedIn account.
"Lookup provides people with the photos, names and titles of coworkers whose LinkedIn profiles include the skill or title 'corporate communications,'" Gupta further wrote.
"Lookup" users can message coworkers, even if they have not downloaded the app and messages sent to coworkers' LinkedIn inboxes via the app do not count against the number of "InMails" members get each month.
One can download it now from the App Store.
