Monarchs streaking toward the breakBy IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 24. 2013 10:44PM
The Manchester Monarchs will pack their four-game winning streak for a two-game road trip this weekend.
The Monarchs (21-17-4, 46 points, second place in the Atlantic Division) will visit Connecticut (18-20-4, 40) Friday night at 7 and then head to Portland to face the Atlantic-leading Pirates (24-15-2, 50) Saturday at 7 p.m.
Following the weekend set, the Monarchs are off for five days for the AHL All-Star break. Tyler Toffoli is the lone Monarch headed to Monday's all-star game in Providence. Manchester head coach Mark Morris is stressing to his players that the march to the playoffs starts now.
"I was telling the guys that there were 35 games left and last year we just inched into the playoffs by having to run the table the final weekend," Morris said. "We've got some work to do."
Manchester finished 39-32-5 to claim the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season. Morris wants to avoid the drama that last year's late run created.
"We still have a lot of games to win and there's no question there will be a lot of tight ones," Morris said. "It's how we do from this point forward that's going to determine the success of this team."
A bright spot for the Monarchs during this win streak has been goaltender Martin Jones. After struggling through a franchise-record nine game losing streak, Jones has returned to the form that made him an all-star two seasons ago and has won four straight.
On Wednesday, Jones was superb, making 42 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and turning in several remarkable saves.
The Monarchs also got a boost from two new players in the lineup, veteran NHL presence Anthony Stewart on the wing and defenseman Chris Huxley, a Harvard University product who made his AHL debut. Stewart came out swinging, literally, fighting Providence's Bobby Robins 11 seconds into the game.
"I was pleased with both guys. Stewart's physical presence was shown even before he had a chance to play. Bobby Robins is a big, tough kid and he flopped him on his back," Morris said. "Chris Huxley played a real nice game back there. He made a lot of intelligent plays, defended well and kept the game simple. He handled the puck smartly."
The winning streak has shown that the Monarchs can play complete 60-minute games where winning the small battles results in big things.
"We're a young team and we're going to have ups and downs this season and some things seem to be going our way right now," Jones said. "With the young team we have, when we're moving our feet and have energy and get pucks deep and do all the little things we need to do to be successful, more often than not we're going to get the result we want."

How Talia Kohen, ECE '06 came up with a promising new idea for trading clean power
In June 2017, Talia Kohen Cornell ECE '06 participated in a GE-sponsored EuroEnergy Hackathon in Berlin, with 100 participants from around the globe. Teams were challenged to develop an implementable software solution to non-carbonization for electrification of the European continent. She and her team built a Bitcoin Energy Solution, and won first prize.
"My Cornell experience has prepared me well for such a challenge," said Kohen.
Shortly after graduating from Cornell ECE in 2006, Kohen went to work for Raytheon with a position focused on tracking and discrimination. She is currently completing a master's degree in computer science on the Evolution of Words in The Google Books Corpus. She has implemented three algorithms, two known, and one she designed and later found in a textbook, and with those has been able to analyze one billion lines of text in two-and-a-half hours. During her master's work, Kohen independently developed by mere visualization a result in mathematics known as "Euler's F-Vector".
Kohen has received numerous awards and honors including: Anita Borg Birthday Celebration Director in Israel; a Google OutStander; Google Anita Borg Scholarship for Women in Europe and the Middle East Finalist; Google Campus Ambassador; Microsoft Israel Women of Excellence Program; Microsoft Excellence Summer Camp; ACM XRDS feature issue editor for the IoT Edition; IEEE International Radar Conference Poster Session Co-Chair and Steering Committee Raytheon Individual Performer Achievement Award - Ionospheric study Raytheon Spot Award; Raytheon Women's Network MDC Site Representative; and was a Delegate to Grace Hopper Conference for Women In Computing. Kohen is the CEO of FemTech, a community for women in STEM in Israel. Upon completion of her masters degree, Kohen plans to earn a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence.

"It was freezing on set all the time, just 30 degrees [Fahrenheit] - I was dying but the penguins were very happy. Then we'd go outside and do a scene on the roof where it was 80 degrees and I had to be in a Parka and five layers of clothing," he said.
"I literally almost fainted at one point. I was like, 'Get it off' and they had to tear the coat off me. And all they want is fish, so I carried fish around with me - in my pockets, shoes, everywhere. My life is very hard..." he added.
"Some people resist working with children and animals for fear of being upstaged," said the 49-year-old.
"But I love capturing the spark of innocence. And what's better than penguins, in our case, and children to bring that out in us? I liked working with them because it was always spontaneous; you never knew what was going to happen."

Palm Springs Hard Rock Hotel
I've heard that a Hard Rock Hotel is coming to Palm Springs. When and where will it be built?
As far as when The Hard Rock will come to Palm Springs, Trevor Horwell, chief hotels officer for Hard Rock International, has been quoted as saying. I think maybe two and a half 2 years...
Plans call for three buildings ranging from two to five stories on the 10-acre Prairie Schooner parcel, bordered by Tahquitz Canyon Way, Calle El Segundo, Andreas Road and Calle Alvarado.
Palm Springs Hard Rock Hotel
The last I heard is that Hard Rock Hotel is still trying to finalize plans with the city of Palm Springs. I know they want to build by the Palm Springs Convention Center - Tahquitz & Eldorado Drive area over by the Hilton and Wyndham Hotel. Other buzz I have heard is that Brad Pitt is looking to build a multi-million dollar resort in the area! Of course, there's nothing confirming this...yet!
Hard Rock Is Definitely Coming to Town
Hey Guys,
My name is Todd. I'm a sales agent for the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. I'm the first person on the ground. The rest of the team will be showing up in December / Janaury.
Someone was asking about timing. The project is going to sale in early spring, and typically, it takes about 18-24 months after sale for the project to be completed and fully operational. So, that puts it around 2010.
Is the property actually extending to Tahquitz, or is it just going where the parking lot is now?
Hard Rock Hotel - Palm Springs
Hello Todd,
I've read that a certain community organization is opposing some of the hotel building designs and as a result, has the delayed the construction of the project. Do you know if this is accurate?
Greg Gilan
Palm Springs Hard Rock Hotel
Nexus Companies, which is developing the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs and has potentially scrapped plans for The Delano, is working on plans for additional hotels in downtown Palm Springs. A 10-acre parcel at Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive, near the Courtyard by Marriott hotel could potentially be home to two hotels, Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet said. Last summer, Nexus submitted plans at City Hall for a 500-room, 9-story hotel there, but Pougnet said they are now working on plans for two hotels that would share a parking lot and be three to four stories high.

Hello Palm Springs Fans, I was reading that they are still planning on building the Hard Rock, they have to change the plan on having the 3 resturants. As for the Hard Rock Hotel, it isn't going to be like the one in Las Vegas, it will be mostly condo's, which we DO NOT need more of. So that is the update on the Rock & PS.. Enjoy your 2008 Summer.
Palm Springs Hard Rock Hotel
The developer of a roughly 100-foot-tall Hard Rock Hotel proposed for the convention center area is holding an informational meeting. It takes place at the convention center ballroom from 5:30 to 7 p.m..
The Nexus Cos., based in Santa Ana, hopes to build the nearly 500-room luxury hotel on about 10 acres on Tahquitz Canyon Way between Calle El Segundo and Calle Alvarado.
The city's Architectural Advisory Committee voted to support the project last month. The hotel, which would include two signature restaurants, a luxury spa, nightclub and 32,000 square feet in banquet and meeting space, is slated to go before the Planning Commission Sept. 12. Nexus hopes to complete the hotel in 2010

In recent years, Congress has called on the agency to regulate food quality more closely and to monitor tobacco marketing, while continuing to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of medical products. The result is a top-level reorganization that shifts daily management and decision-making to others, permitting the commissioner to focus more on crucial scientific and policy issues.
Another new deputy commissioner for global regulatory operations and policy, Deborah Autor, will manage FDA's Office of International Programs and the Office of Regulatory Affairs, which runs the agency's far-flung field force. This force includes FDA foreign offices, which have been established around the world to support oversight of an expanding volume of food and medical products imported into the United States. Autor is quite familiar with supply-chain vulnerabilities and difficulties related to surging imports. She previously headed the Office of Compliance (OC) within the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which also has been overhauled.
The explosion in foreign production of FDA-regulated products requires more collaboration and information exchange with established regulatory counterparts, according to Autor. "We can never get enough resources to cover all those facilities," she told the PDA–FDA Joint Regulatory Conference in September 2011. Autor also seeks to level the playing field between US-based and foreign manufacturers by gaining authority to block drugs from US markets if their producers limit or refuse FDA inspection or fail to comply with US quality standards. Autor anticipates further assessment of these approaches in a consensus study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) on the global public-health risks from substandard, falsified, and counterfeit medical products.
These two new deputies join the head of FDA's Office of Foods, Michael Taylor, who oversees the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and the Center for Veterinary Medicine. An FDA veteran, Taylor has the daunting task of implementing recent food safety legislation without the resources and personnel necessary to inspect more food facilities and to expand oversight as required.
Chief Scientist Jesse Goodman continues to lead important regulatory science initiatives. Goodman's office oversees the National Center for Toxicological Research, counterterrorism and threats, and professional development and integrity for FDA professionals. Special offices for women's health and for minority health fall under Goodman's purview, but also report to Hamburg.
Counselor to the Commissioner John Taylor, who served as Hamburg's temporary deputy commissioner for much of this past year, returns to his advisory role, but with specific staff responsibilities. He will manage policy and planning functions, legislative relations, and external affairs, which includes FDA's press office and liaison with the healthcare community.
Hamburg also is establishing a high-level office of operations with a chief operating officer to head the agency's increasingly complex administrative functions. These functions include information technology, finance, facility management, and budget formulation.
The aim of these organizational changes, Hamburg explained in a July 2011 announcement, is to establish a more effective management structure for an agency that now has 12,000 employees (1600 of which reside in the Commissioner's office) and is responsible for regulating more than 20% of US consumer products. The new structure reduces the number of officials reporting directly to the commissioner, while emphasizing the importance of innovation and science and the effect of globalization on FDA and regulated entities.
These changes also aim to address various criticisms of FDA's regulatory posture. Manufacturers claim that an overly-cautious approach to potential safety issues generates unreasonable requirements that keep innovative and effective products from patients, explained consultant Steve Grossman at the October FDA Inspections Summit sponsored by FDA Week. Patient and disease groups, particularly those involved with rare conditions, echo these concerns and are pushing for FDA to revise risk calculations so that promising therapies can reach the market without delay.
Yet, consumer representatives and some members of Congress continue to voice concerns about product safety. Demands for more extensive testing of new drugs both prior to approval and after coming to market led to provisions in the 2007 FDA Amendments Act (FDAAA) that added greatly to FDA's oversight responsibilities for new drugs and biologics. Now, some legislators want to modify certain FDAAA requirements, particularly those for Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMs) and conflict-of- interest rules.

Global inventories have increased significantly since they bottomed last fall. Combined LME, COMEX, and Shanghai warehouse stocks have nearly doubled, to 762,000 tonnes, during this period (Chart 4). That does not tell the whole story, though. Stocks in Chinese bonded warehouses, which are not included in exchange warehouse figures, are rumored to have doubled over the past year to 1 million tonnes.

Discovering name of package(s)
A few facts of debug messages
When looking at debug message, such as:
[...] Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/epiphany' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1241265952 (LWP 12630)] (no debugging symbols found) 0xb7f25410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #0 0xb7f25410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb741b45b in ?? () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 [...]
you can see
?? at the place where debugging info is missing and also the name of library or executable which called the function. Similarly, when the line
(no debugging symbols found) appears in a message, it means that you have to look for a file whose name is stated.
Finding package
Use Pacman to retrieve name of package:
# pacman -Qo /lib/libthread_db.so.1 /lib/libthread_db.so.1 is owned by glibc 2.5-8
We have found that package is called glibc in version 2.5-8. By repeating this step, we are able to create a list of packages which we have to compile ourselves to get full stack trace.
Obtaining PKGBUILD
In order to build a package from source, the PKGBUILD file is required. The location from which you can obtain PKGBUILDs is, in general:
Using AUR
Use AUR search page to find the package. If it is not present, the package is stored in one of the official repository trees of Arch Linux. If found, click on its name and download the
Tarball. Use
tar to extract it and change the directory:
$ tar xvzf name_of_tarball.tar.gz $ cd name_of_tarball
Using ABS
If the package is a part of official tree, install ABS, fetch the source for the package and then build it:
$ ABSROOT=. abs core/glibc $ cd core/glibc $ makepkg -s
Compilation settings
At this stage, you can modify the global configuration file of
makepkg if you will be using it only for debug purposes. In other cases, you should modify package's PKGBUILD file only for each package you would like to rebuild.
Global settings
makepkg's configuration file
/etc/makepkg.conf to contain following lines:
CFLAGS="-g -march=i686 -O1 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-g -march=i686 -O1 -pipe"
OPTIONS=(!strip !docs libtool emptydirs)
These settings (in bold) will force compilation with debugging information and will disable stripping of executable.
One package settings only
foo's PKGBUILD file to contain the following lines:
Into the
build() function, add following lines at the very beginning:
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g -O1" export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g -O1"
-O1 cannot be generally recommended as
gcc then uses implementations of functions in the GNU C library that can be considered too different from the optimized ones. Also, changes in headers' includes and disabled functions may prevent successful compilation.
In addition to the previous general settings you should pass
-developer-build option to the
configure script in the
PKGBUILD. Also compiling Qt with qtwebkit installed may cause compilation errors. That is why you would also want to remove qtwebkit package temporarily from your system. Use the following command in order to ignore any dependencies on qtwebkit.
# pacman -Rdd qtwebkit
Do not forget to install qtwebkit after the compilation of Qt is finished, otherwise the programs that depend on it will not work!
KDE/KDE programms
KDE and software built with KDE technologies normally use cmake for building. To build this software with debug symbols change the option
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to
Building and installing the package
Build the package from source using
makepkg while in the PKGBUILD's directory. This could take some time:
# makepkg
Then install the built package:
# pacman -U glibc-2.5-8-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Getting the trace
The actual backtrace (or stack trace) can now be obtained via e.g. gdb, the GNU Debugger. Run it either via:
# gdb /path/to/file
# gdb (gdb) exec /path/to/file
The path is optional, if already set in the
$PATH variable.
Then, within
gdb, type
run followed by any arguments you wish the program to start with, e.g.:
(gdb) run --no-daemon --verbose
to start execution of the file. Do whatever necessary to evoke the bug. For the actual log, type the lines:
(gdb) set logging file trace.log (gdb) set logging on
and then:
(gdb) bt
to output the trace to
trace.log into the directory
gdb was started in. To exit, enter:
(gdb) set logging off (gdb) quit
# gdb /usr/bin/python (gdb) run <python application>
Use the complete stack trace to inform developers of a bug you have discovered before. This will be highly appreciated by them and will help to improve your favorite program.

Four powerful radio bursts have left astronomers puzzled.If you've been waiting for mysterious radio signals from space, tune in. An international team of astronomers has detected four powerful bursts that appear to come from billions of light-years away. At that distance, the radio pulses would each have put out in a few thousandths of a second the same amount of energy that the Sun would need 10,000 years to emit.
(So no, it's not E.T.)
The bizarre signals came to light as part of the High Time Resolution Universe survey, a project using the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope in Australia to search the sky for radio blips and pulsars, the spinning-lighthouse-like stellar corpses left behind by some supernovae. Because the pulsars we detect lie in our own galaxy, astronomers mostly look near the Milky Way's plane when hunting for these zombie stars. But when grad student Dan Thornton (University of Manchester, U.K., and CSIRO, Australia) started digging through normally "boring" data far from the galaxy's dusty gleam, he stumbled across the four enigmatic bursts.
The fast radio bursts (or FRBs) have a distinct look to them. They're incredibly energetic and über-short, but their lower frequencies arrive noticeably later than their higher ones, spreading out the signal into a unique shape. This spreading happens because the lower radio frequencies interact more with intervening electrons, either in the Milky Way itself or the so-called intergalactic medium, the stuff between the universe's massive stellar metropolises.
The pulse shape encodes how much stuff lies between us and a source, and the spread in these narrow signals' arrival times implies that they came from far beyond the Milky Way. Throwing some assumptions into the mix, Thornton and his colleagues estimate the four bursts originated at redshifts from 0.45 to 0.96, or 5.5 to 10 billion light-years away.
That distance would give the bursts energies between 1037 and 1039 joules, or between 100 billion and 10 trillion times the energy the Sun puts out in a single second — and the FRBs did it in a few milliseconds.
These four bursts aren't the first to baffle astronomers. In 2007 Duncan Lorimer (now at West Virginia University) and his colleagues reported a bizarre radio blast so strong that the software used to process the signals assumed it couldn't be astrophysical and deleted part of it from the data. That "Lorimer burst" looks like the new four.
There was also a weird signal reported in 2012, but it's unclear whether it came from the Milky Way or not. Plus, notes Bryan Gaensler (University of Sydney), a team reported a bunch of unidentified radio bursts back in 1989 that might or might not be similar. "No one knew what to make of that paper at the time, but now it's somewhat more interesting," he says.
So what are FRBs? "I don't think we have any idea what these are," Gaensler says. "It's a mystery!"
Thornton and his colleagues also don't strongly argue for any one interpretation in their paper in the July 5th Science. But Thornton says their favorite idea is that the bursts are giant flares from a highly magnetized stellar corpse called a magnetar. That flare could be created by a massive disruption of the magnetic field after a starquake on the magnetar's surface, he says.
Beyond the wow factor, FRBs could also be important for cosmic-scale studies. Given the number of signals found and the Parkes telescope's field of view, the team estimates roughly 10,000 of these go off across the entire sky each day. If the rate is really that high (and with only four events it's hard to say), astronomers could use them to probe the intergalactic medium. The short duration makes the bursts eloquent snapshots of the turbulence the radio photons encountered en route. Plus, pairing the distances and the pulse's spread over time could give new information about how much matter is between us and the sources.
Astronomers will need more detections before FRBs live up to that promise. They also need real-time detections (the Lorimer burst and the four new ones were all spotted in data after the fact) and follow-up at other wavelengths to determine the culprits.

Sarbanes Oxley Rules Will Prove Costly for Small Cap Tech Stocks
Half Moon Bay, Calif., January 12, 2005 -- Wall Street is now focused on returns, not growth, which has major implications for publicly listed semiconductor companies, according to speakers on the third day of SEMI ISS 2005.
"The stock market has become extremely returns-oriented," said Mike Wishart, a managing director with Goldman Sachs. Device makers have started to think about returns over growth and equipment and materials suppliers will need to start thinking the same way, he explained.
A returns approach also greatly increases a company's control of its own destiny because it doesn't have to rely on Wall Street to raise funds. For example, if a device maker can not raise money to build a new wafer fab in time for an upcycle, then it risks being out of the game. "Intel isn't going to miss a cycle. Samsung isn't going to miss a cycle," said Wishart.
The excesses of the dot com bubble, combined with corporate scandals and the Sarbanes Oxley financial accounting legislation, has changed the equities landscape, especially for technology companies. There has been a move away from analysts covering smaller companies, but larger caps such as Applied Materials and KLA-Tencor will still be well covered. "We will generally see less research," said Wishart, who added that this was a necessary step before research analysts begin to regain credibility after the dot com fiasco.
Corporate life will be harder under Sarbanes Oxley because adherence to the stricter financial reporting rules will amount to a tax averaging $3 million per annum per company, regardless of size. "It will make it less attractive to be a smaller company, and a technology company," said Wishart.
In the "bulls and bears" panel session, moderated by Novellus Systems CEO Rick Hill, analysts debated whether the equipment industry had matured or still had strong growth opportunities ahead.
Tim Acuri from Citigroup said most of the negative news for the equipment sector was behind it, and pointed out that industry overcapacity was worse in the previous three cycle peaks than it was in the most recent peak. He also said that contrary to the general view, he believes market value is shifting away from device makers to the equipment companies.
John Pitzer from Credit Suisse First Boston said he believes another strong silicon upcycle will occur, but not in 2005. This cycle won't be driven by a new killer app, rather by increasing penetration of electronics products in India and China. Pitzer also said the chip equipment industry made a mistake by not maintaining pricing leverage during the transition from 200mm to 300mm equipment, and returns suffered as a result.
Mark Fitzgerald from Bank of America said that since the bursting of the dot com bubble, technology growth rates were lower and companies needed to focus on financial performance. "Wall Street is not going to give you access to cheap capital anymore," he said. Equipment companies need to figure out to add value to their business model and consistently generate cash, he added.
SEMI ISS 2005 concluded at the Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay, on January 12. From January 13-14, the venue will host the SEMI Strategic Materials Conference (SMC).

College innovation: More government is not the answer
In the Thursday speech in which he announced his plan for making college more affordable, President Obama singled out Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester as an institution that is innovating to bring down costs. He was right to highlight SNHU, though he seems to have taken the wrong lesson from it.
Earlier this year SNHU received federal approval for its new competency-based-learning approach to measuring student performance. The university's College for America gives students credit for course completion as soon as they've mastered the material, regardless of time spent in class.
Obama praised this in his speech, saying "if you're learning the material faster, you can finish faster, which means you pay less and you save money." That's partly it. You also pay less because the courses cost less to offer.
Many private colleges and universities are innovating, dropping tuition rates and offering cheaper degree programs. Some state legislatures are starting to tie university system subsidies to tuition and graduation rates. All of this predates Obama's student loan plan, which should give Obama some pause. It does not, of course.
Obama believes he must intervene to lower costs by steering colleges and universities toward better decisions. It never occurs to him that maybe Washington's impulse to steer is part of the problem. Inside Higher Ed reported in March that universities interested in pursuing competency-based learning did not move forward with it earlier for fear that Washington would not approve it.
Government's guiding hand is all over the world of higher education. Pell Grants along with two federal tax credits for higher-education amount to $54 billion a year. That does not include federal student loans or state subsidies to public university systems. (Obama addresses only federal student loans.) Most of these subsidies go to the middle class.
Economist Gary Becker, a Nobel Laureate, has written that "there is no case at all from an overall social standpoint for subsidizing students who would pay full college tuition, without the inducement of a subsidy." Yet through state subsidies, federal tax credits and federally subsidized loans, that is exactly what we do.
Regulations and subsidies distort what would otherwise be a more robustly price-competitive higher-education market. They discourage students from making better financial decisions regarding college, and they discourage colleges from innovating and from keeping a closer eye on expenses.
Rather than scaling back that meddling, Obama plans to increase it, as if
this time
we'll get it right. Maybe if we meddled less, colleges would not have so many disincentives to innovate and control prices.

Having a password problem need help really bad
could you be a little bit more specific so people can help out ???
Yup. A password for what? Not Hotmail I hope....
I have a Hp laptop I had a system password on it so when it booted you put the password in right. Ok I went to change the password from "mine" to nothing I typed the old password and just hit the enter key when it asked for a new one. Now when I try to boot it wants a password "mine" doesnt work niether does the enter key can you help?
Another one who doesn't have "their" password and forgot everything needed to retrieve it? haha ahh man...
Gwai Lee
What operating system? Win, *NIX? Is the password set on the BIOS?
Info please...
Windows ME sorry don't know what " BIOS " is
My friend says the NT Password and Registry Editor Boot disk will work on ME. I have only used it on NT/2K so... I can't agree with him for sure, but it won't do any damage if you follow the directions.
BIOS: Basic Input-Output System. More info here: http://www.wimsbios.com/
If you password protected WinME as a login, simply press ESC and should let you in. Hope this helps.
where would I get those?
I protected the computer and ME I know how to bypass ME just not how to bypass a SYSTEM pass

Donald Monson, 81 - September 03, 2012Donald Monson, 81, of Crawford, originally of Brady and Gothenburg, died Monday, Sept. 3, 2012, at Rapid City Regional Hospital from stroke complications.
Memorial services will be conducted on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 2 p.m. at the Brady Methodist Church in Brady with the Rev. Janie Freeman officiating.
Monson was born and raised on a farm north of Brady to Alfred and Ruby Monson, the youngest of four children, Eleanor, Gerald and Wayne.
He attended school and graduated from Gothenburg High School with the Class of 1949. He also attended a semester at Kearney State College before returning to work on the farm.
Monson joined the United States Army, serving from 1954 to 1956, and was assigned to the Sixth Armored Division.
In 1959, he was married to Mary Fix. To this union, three children were born. The couple were divorced in 1999.
He was then married to Jaynet McCance in 2002. They have spent the last 12 years residing at Crawford.
?Monson was always up for a card game and enjoyed pitching horseshoes, according to family members.

Just finished watching this movie, and I must say I really enjoyed every single moment of it! Bonus point for having a happy end.
Although the sci-fic elements did confuse me, at least the storyline is understandable. Animation is awesome, especially towards the end. Music is equally awesome. Emotional impact is excellent. I think I like this movie more than 5cm because of the happy end.

This was the first anime movie I have ever quit half way through.
I watched 5cm per Second beforehand, and enjoyed that, but I soon realized this was basically the same thing all over again, except worse. It was dry and boring, the characters were all so shallow, and the scifi elements were quite bland.
It also didn't help that the entire time I felt like this movie had its bloom effect on way to high, and for way to long (read: the entire movie). In fact, this seems to be like a defining style for Shinkai (as it's alsp present in 5cm PS) and it gets aesthetically boring quite fast.
Perhaps it may just be that I've just been spoiled by master storytellers like Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Hosoda, and Miyazaki who know how to utilize the medium of animation itself to beautifully unravel a story.

i agree that this is probably my least favorite Shinkai work, probably because i've watched it the least, though its not to say i don't like it. the fact that you only watched half of it is probably the reason why you don't like it. the first half is a flash back with Hiroki remembering his childhood with Sayuri and how they separated. the second half is in the present and deals with them trying to overcome the problem with the tower. needless to say, the second half is much better than the first half.
All of Shinkai's movies have the same overall theme: separation. he just does it in different ways every time. In Byousoku it was separation by time, in Voices, it was separation by distant, and in Promised Place, it was emotion. if you don't enjoy watching him tell his story in different ways, you probably won't enjoy watching any other of his movies. his animation style is also love it or hate it. the vast majority of people love it. its very aesthetically pleasing and spawned a whole bunch of imitators. though if you don't like it, its your loss.

Where in the time-line does the beginning fit? This makes the beginning the end, and hence sad...I don't want one of my favourite movies to become sad suddenly
But the narration seems to agree with you. At least he is speaking in the present tense after 3 yrs. So I must have not understood something... Can someone please explain what he says at the beginning and if he looks older than a school boy?

the beginning is the late middle portion of the story. he's making his way back to the shack before the plane is rebuilt. once he gets there, and they start working on it again, it becomes the "present" and the story is told in real time again.

Edit: I watched bits of it and noticed another thing, - it is winter when he goes back to build the plane and summer in the start.
I hope you are correct, but what did Hiroki mean by this, 'It was before the war, when the huge island called Ezo was still a foreign territory'. IIRC it was still a foreign territory in the middle of the movie. Wouldn't it stop being one, only after the finale?

hmm, i don't know. i believed for the longest time that the beginning was actually later on in the timeline. but then some people pointed out a few things and i started to think the other way. i guess because in my head, if the beginning really is the "present" after the end, that would mean that Sayuri died. (which probably isn't true, but w/e)

Just rewatched this and decided to look for some discussion about the movie...
And tis true . Hiroki in the intro definitely looks much older than the end of the movie. The face is longer and has the more angular lines of an adult. The intro also has a quick scene of him passing by (stopping by?) a graveyard. And the tower is missing from the view of the sky. So in the end, chronologically, this is yet another Shinkai bittersweet ending.
The optimist in me will probably say that the adult Hiroki is visiting that area on some government business and Sayuri is happily waiting for him at home .

*Claps* This was a really strong movie, and the whole thing is pretty depressing. What's even worse that despite the appearance of a happy ending that there's an upcoming war, and that's gonna suck.
Personally, I preferred the 1st half over the 2nd half, as the world altering elements never really got into me. I was way more interested in the concept of loss and how Hiroki and Takuya remembered their promise with Sayuri, But I guess it came together at the end. And understandably, the story is about the 3 leads' conflicts. So what needed to be resolved was resolved.
I was sorta expecting more exploration (not necessarily exposition) of the world around them, and the ending was like hmm... but at least it was hopeful.
And of course, great atmosphere, but that goes without saying. It also has Masato Hagiwara's cool voice XD
I think I'll pop it with an 8.5/10, not exactly mindblowing and it didn't get me too attached, but solid in every conceivable way. Very good storytelling is invaluable for anime today, and this would be one of the better examples.
The dream ends, but this is only the beginning...

The Cambridge Oak
Quercus x warburgii
The exact origin and planting of this fine hybrid Oak are unknown. It appears to have originated, along with a tree growing at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from the nursery of Messrs Smith of Worcester between 1873 and 1875. It has been named and renamed as botanists disagreed over its parentage. It is most widely thought to be a hybrid of
Quercus rugosa
, an evergreen species from USA, Mexico and Central America, and the British native
Quercus robur
Each May it is a superb sight when the leathery over-wintered leaves are finally shed, the new coppery-red foliage unfurls, and the tree is festooned with tassled bunches of golden-yellow catkins. Despite the low average annual rainfall and the light alluvial soil of Cambridge, our tree has made a fine specimen. It was recorded by Richard Lynch (Curator from1879-1919) as 11.7m high with a spread of 11.7m in 1910. In that same year, Henry Elwes and Augustine Henry published the first botanical description of it in
The Trees of Great Britain and Ireland
, noting that the specimen at the Cambridge Botanic Garden was the finest in the country. It is not clear when, and by whom, the common name of 'the Cambridge Oak' was first coined, but we assume it is in recognition of this well-known and magnificent specimen.
Today the Garden's Cambridge Oak has attained a height of 16.7 m and a crown spread of 19.5m (measured 2005). However it is not the champion tree in the British Isles, this accolade going to a tree at Petworth Park, Sussex which is over 20m high. For the last few years, our specimen has had fruiting bodies of a butt-decaying fungus appear on the trunk each autumn, which may be early signs of incipient decline. A young replacement tree, grafted from the original, was planted out in 1991 on Cory Lawn and is growing well.

Jan 3 (Reuters) - Rhode Island lawmakers introduced a measure on Thursday that would make the state the 10th in the nation and the last in New England to legalize same-sex marriage.
Sponsors of the proposal tried to move through similar legislation in 2011, but met with opposition and were forced to change the bill to allow civil unions only.
Representative Gordon Fox, an openly gay co-sponsor of the bill, said after being elected House speaker this week that he intended to bring the marriage issue to the House floor before the end of January.
"It is time," Fox, a Democrat, said in a statement. "We can no longer be the only New England state without marriage equality. Rhode Island must be next in enacting this basic civil right to marry the one you love."
Maine legalized same-sex marriage on Saturday, leaving Rhode Island as the last of New England's six states without legislation allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed.
Nine of the 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage. Maryland was the most recent, with gay marriage becoming legal there on Jan. 1.
Another 31 states have passed constitutional amendments restricting marriage to heterosexual couples.
On Thursday, the sponsor of the Rhode Island proposal, Democratic Representative Arthur Handy, introduced the measure in a late afternoon session, said Fox's spokesman, Larry Berman.
"We've polled the members in the House and are very optimistic that it will pass comfortably," he said, adding that a public hearing would be held in the next few weeks.
It remains unclear how it will fare in the Senate, he said.
Teresa Paiva Weed, the state Senate president, opposes gay marriage, but has said she will allow a judiciary committee vote if the bill passed in the House, Senate spokesman Greg Pare said.
"I don't know what the vote would be in the Senate," he said. "It would be close." (Editing by Barbara Goldberg, Ellen Wulfhorst and Leslie Adler)

Shopping for Justice
After examining the rack, Laidlaw told Fish that he would talk to some other WBBC officials and attempt to set up an objective panel-scoring session at the upcoming Deer and Turkey Expo in April 2010. Naturally, Fish and King were elated the deer might be given an impartial hearing. If nothing else, they hoped to get it recognized in the state of Wisconsin.Their elation was short-lived. Just before the expo, Reneau allegedly caught wind of the possible panel-scoring session and contacted several WBBC measurers, allegedly telling them Fish was "shopping for a score" and instructing them not to score the King Buck under any circumstances. The end result: The deer was deemed too controversial to allow into the show, and the anticipated scoring session never occurred.
Because so many people asked to see the rack, Fish ended up sneaking it into the show, but kept it out of sight in a box at a friend's booth. While the rack was there, several official measurers — including several members of the WBBC — got an opportunity to examine it. With the exception of one man, all agreed the rack should have been scored as a straight 6-by-6 typical.
In fact, a WBBC officer told Fish, "This really p…..es me off! This sort of thing never should have happened in Wisconsin or with B&C. This deer is typical all the way, no question."
According to Laidlaw, proper protocol for scoring a deer of this magnitude was not followed, and that's where things went astray. After it was officially scored by Ramsey as a typical 6-by-6, the next step should have been for the buck to be panel-scored by WBBC members. At that point, the final entry score would have been submitted to B&C. If that had happened, it's likely that an impartial group of WBBC measurers would have scored the deer as a 6-by-6 typical. Then, even if Reneau had refused to accept a typical score, the WBBC would have been in a good position to protest the ruling.
However, because of the lingering question regarding the broken beam, proper protocol wasn't followed. Instead, King was told to take the rack to Pennsylvania so that it could be examined by Reneau. Instead of allowing the WBBC to get involved and panel-score the rack and come to its own conclusion, Reneau made an arbitrary ruling declaring the G-3 tine to be abnormal. After that ruling was made, the WBBC felt like its hands were tied, and the club had to abide by the ruling.
Interestingly, Laidlaw later had the rack precisely measured by a laser-measuring device. Amazingly, all of the tines were found to be almost perfectly symmetrical from side to side as far as spacing is concerned, and both G-3 tines were found to be rising up off of the main beam at the same angle as most of the other typical tines.
In other words, if the G-3s were abnormal, all of the other typical tines on the rack would have to be scored as abnormal tines. In short, all of the upright tines on one of the world's
greatest 6-by-6 typical bucks with an almost perfectly symmetrical rack (except for the length difference of the G-3s) would have to be scored as abnormal points.
A Master Measurer Weighs In
Several more months passed. Because so many people in Wisconsin believed the deer had not gotten a fair shake, another tentative panel-scoring session was set up for October 2010 in Marshfield, Wis. Several prominent WBBC measurers again were invited to take part.
Just before the session was to take place, however, one of the club officers called Reneau and asked permission to allow the club to panel-score the deer. Reneau adamantly refused, and for the second time in 2010, a scoring session was cancelled at the last minute.
Ron Boucher, a highly respected B&C measurer from Vermont, had been following the plight of the King Buck since he saw it at the Iowa Deer Classic in 2010. Highly experienced in scoring deer, Boucher had been one of the panel members who scored the world record Hanson Buck in the mid-1990s. Because he planned to be bow-hunting in Wisconsin in late October, he also planned to attend the panel-scoring session — strictly as an observer.
"When I arrived, I knew that Fish and many others who were anticipating the scoring were deeply let down that the panel session had been cancelled, so I volunteered to score the rack myself," he said. "I felt like it was the right thing to do. I wasn't trying to go against B&C, but there were so many mitigating circumstances involving the rack. Jay never asked me to score it, I simply volunteered. After all, this is a pretty special deer. To my knowledge, it's the only straight 6-by-6 with no abnormal points ever to gross over 220 inches."
Boucher knew he might be castigated by B&C for scoring the deer. After careful scrutiny, he said he believed both G-3s met the criteria to be scored as typical points, so he scored the rack as a typical 6-by-6. When he added up his numbers, he did a double-take. Incredibly, his figures tallied up a net typical score of 213 6/8 inches, beating Milo Hanson's world-record score by 1/8 inch!
Boucher submitted his score to B&C along with a six-page letter explaining his reasons for what he had done and why he thought the deer should be scored as a typical 6-by-6, according to the rules of scoring outlined in the B&C scorer's manual.
Reneau refused to accept the score.
Sadly, one of the world's greatest whitetails has been denied a chance to be recognized as a potential world record by Boone and Crockett, and the hunter who took that buck by fair-chase means has been sorely disappointed time and again the past four years.
As a result, the King Buck has not been entered in B&C and probably never will be. Nor has it been recognized in any way by Wisconsin. Because of the way things were mishandled from the beginning, the Wisconsin Buck and Bear Club has apparently been hamstrung to do anything to rectify the situation.
King often wonders, "Will this unfortunate situation ever change? Even if B&C reverses its one-man ruling and agrees to panel-score the rack at some future date, could my buck receive a fair and impartial scoring? Will the WBBC ever change its collective mind and agree to panel-score the rack for the sake of the Wisconsin record book?"
In short, antler aficionados everywhere will be left wondering: Will the King Buck ever get its due? My guess: Only if someone has the courage to stand up and do what is right.
Currently, it appears as though one of the greatest whitetails of all time has been unjustly condemned. What a tragedy — for the deer, the hunter who took it, the state of Wisconsin and the deer hunting world in general.
