Golden Eagles' Craig leaps into spotlight

Michael Craig made quite a splash last week on ESPN.
Donnie Tyndall didn't feel the need to go back to the drawing board after being blown out at Louisville last week.
Southern Miss hosts Morehead State at Reed Green Coliseum today in a game that Golden Eagle coach Donnie Tyndall said is a big one for a variety of reasons.
Todd Monken has taken the time to savor the win.
To most outsiders 0-12 and 1-11 are the same terrible result.
It has been a rough two years for Dylan Reda.
If Southern Miss was going to win one game this season, Saturday's contest at UAB needed to be it.
Few victories Southern Miss' football history will turn out to be as important as Saturday's at UAB.
A career that started with promise ended the way it began for Kendrick Hardy.
With one, final chance to end the team's winless season, and program's 23-game losing streak, Southern Miss visits UAB at noon today.
Southern Miss was unbeaten and had won six straight heading into its showdown at Louisville on Friday.
Southern Miss played three road games last week, which were decided by an average of 4.3 points per game.
Nick Mullens will tell you he's not played as well as he'd hoped over the course of the first five starts of his collegiate career.
Injuries have plagued Southern Miss all year.
Southern Miss athletic director Bill McGillis said Monday the university will receive a guaranteed $1.4 million to play Alabama next season.
Southern Miss came into Sunday's contest against William Carey undefeated.
Records: Southern Miss (0-11, 0-7 C-USA); UAB (2-9, 1-6 C-USA)
Southern Miss kept it close against Middle Tennessee State, scoring a first-quarter touchdown for just the second time all year.
One of Todd Monken's goals every week is to start fast.
With a quarter for every time someone asked me this next question, I could build a whole new wing on the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum:
Daveon Boardingham and Neil Watson scored 15 points each to lead Southern Miss to a 67-62 win over Houston Baptist in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic on Saturday.
Against Middle Tennessee, there were good things about the way Southern Miss played.
The past 22 games have been rough on the Southern Miss football program. Really rough. The Golden Eagles will take the field at M.M. Roberts Stadium for the final time this season at 2:30 p.m. today.
Donnie Tyndall certainly hoped his Golden Eagles would start the season 3-0.
Less than 24 hours after announcing the Golden Eagle football team would play at Alabama next season, Southern Miss announced the remainder of its non-conference schedule on Thursday.

The Football Championship Subdivision Governance Committee defeated a proposal that would have prohibited FCS schools from housing their football teams off campus the night before a home game.
The action taken during the committee's conference call Thursday was in response to override requests from 18 FCS schools that sought to reverse an April decision to adopt Proposal No. 2010-83.
The Division I Legislative Council during its conference call Thursday narrowly defeated a proposal that would have allowed earlier phone contact with recruits in sports other than football and men's basketball. Read More
The 18 override requests were three more than the 15 necessary to require the FCS Governance Committee to revisit the legislation. The committee defeated it during its Thursday call by an 8-4 margin. Unless the Presidential Advisory Group acts otherwise in August, the proposal will be rescinded, thus averting a membership override vote.
Currently, institutions may provide off-campus housing for their football teams at local hotels the evening before a home game, similar to what is allowed in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Supporters of the proposal to disallow it had cited substantial cost savings as the primary reason, but some of the detractors thought those figures were exaggerated. Those who wanted the status quo also noted that it was permissive legislation, meaning that those schools that didn't believe in the practice didn't have to do it.

The channel, like the technology market in general, is undergoing a major transformation driven by mobility, and Tech Data believes its TDMobility offering can help partners make this transition smoothly, all while raking in a profit through a managed services-type model.
Launched in 2011, TDMobility is a one-stop-shop for Tech Data partners looking for mobility-specific resources, and also provides a way to streamline processes including carrier billing, asset tracking and device activation, explained Joe Quaglia, president of TDMobility, at Tech Data.
"The biggest challenge for [solution providers] is making that transition to establish mobility as practice within their business, which is no different from the cloud. But what might be a little bit more challenging there is you've got a whole new set of vendors, you've got new questions you have to ask your customers -- so a lot of newness," Quaglia told CRN at Tech Data's TechSelect conference Thursday. "And ... our opportunity together is for the Tech Data mobility program and platform to help them do that in a much more simple fashion."
[Related: Tech Data Vows To Keep Partners Relevant With New Mobility, Cloud Focus]
One of the major benefits of the TDMobility offering, Quaglia continued, is that it eliminates the need for VARs to contact major service carriers on their own. Tech Data, instead, carries that responsibility, while still enabling VARs to activate new lines on the carriers' behalf. T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T currently participate in the TDMobility program, with support for Verizon expected to be added soon.
Beyond ease-of-business, TDMobility is also intended to help VARs grow their margins. CellManage, a sub-offering within the TDMobility umbrella, arms solution providers with a single console from which they can manage cellular bills, deployments and asset tracking for their end users.
According to Quaglia, it's a way for VARs to apply their broader managed services models to mobility. It's also a source of recurring revenue.
"The Tech Data platform, and specifically CellManage, gives [solution providers] a managed service offering that they can wrap any services they want around the devices, the rate plans, and then the management of all of that for their customers," Quaglia said.
Still, some solution providers, such as Richard Little, chief technology officer at Milford, Mass.-based Tech Data partner RetroFit Technologies, are still warming up to mobility, questioning just how profitable of a business it is. Little noted that the majority of his customers use iPads, but, as he isn't a member of Apple's reseller program, his company would need to offer other, competing tablets -- a prospect that doesn't seem all that profitable given Apple's dominance in the market.
"There's the Samsung Galaxy ... but I'm just not sure it's worth the price of admission," Little said of getting into the non-iPad tablet game.
Little did say, however, that RetroFit Technologies is starting to embrace mobile app development as a means to profit from today's mobility craze. The company has already developed an app for a client in the irrigation business, and it is hoping to offer more moving forward.
Stephanie Dash, national account manager at Rochester, N.Y.-based solution provider Systms of New York, said her company is just starting to get its feet wet with mobility, primarily offering mobile device management solutions, such as Absolute Software. She said TDMobility, like Tech Data's TDCloud offering, will help her company more easily hunt down the resources it needs to adapt to today's mobile world.
"I'm excited about this because it makes our job a lot easier to identify and quantify what the customer would really need for their environment, specifically," Dash said.

Umbilo Ward Councillor
eThekwini Municipality
MEC Willies Mchunu declines to hold Police accountable
DURBAN, 2 April 2012 – KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Willies Mchunu, today spurned a request to secure commitments from the Umbilo Station Commander and the Provincial Commissioner of Police to embrace the CPF and the community, and to commit the Unbilo Police Station to fighting crime; a request that Democratic Alliance Cllr Warwick Chapman views as not only essential to addressing the problem of crime, but also in line with the police mandate in the South African Constitution.
During a 4-hour public meeting on 2 April 2012 to deal with the long running problems at the Umbilo Police Station, the KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Willies Mchunu spurned a request to secure commitments from the Umbilo Station Commander and the Provincial Commissioner of Police.
The Umbilo SAPS has been in the media over the past years for all the wrong reasons. Umbilo SAPS's poor handling of rape cases, allegations of Police involvement in crime, particularly the explosion of drug-related crime, lack of action on known crime threats and lack of commitment to work with the CPF angered much of the Umbilo community. These frustrations boiled over into a public protest outside the Police station in February which caught the attention of the MEC who received a memorandum and committed to meeting with the community.
The situation exploded last week when Mthokozisi Ngcobo of Oliver Lea Drive in Umbilo was fatally stabbed by three attackers in Umbilo Park. Umbilo Park is a serious crime hotspot which has repeatedly been brought to the attention of Umbilo SAPS without any significant intervention ever having taken place. Police officers are said to have reverted that since they cannot drive their vehicles into the park, they cannot patrol it, dismissing requests that they do so on foot.
During the latter part of the public meeting I rose to acknowledge the intervention which had taken place by the MEC and Provincial Commissioner and request a commitment from the Station Commander to embrace the CPF and the community and commit his station to fighting crime, and that the Provincial Commissioner commit to handling any allegation of Police involvement in crime.
The MEC immediately rose and told the meeting "We are not here to hold the Police accountable. We are not here to extract commitments from the Police." He then instructed both the station commander and the Provincial Commissioner that they need not build any such commitments into their responses to the issues raised during the meeting.
The MEC is absolutely incorrect. The problems at Umbilo SAPS are entirely the result of an absence of accountability and a lack of commitment from the Police. The community crime fighting partnership relies as a precursor on SAPS fulfilling its constitutional mandate to "effectively prevent, combat and investigate crime". Securing a commitment from SAPS and ensuring they are held accountable are entirely appropriate under the circumstances.
The MEC in partnership with the Provincial Commissioner has a legal responsibility to play an oversight role and to ensure effective and accountable management of Police stations in KZN. To spurn a request to secure public commitment from the Police to do their jobs properly can be seen as nothing other than the MEC shielding the failure to deliver by SAPS management.

David Phan's Suicide Sparks Grief, Anger, And A Call For Justice
By Guest Contributor Terry K. Park, cross-posted from Hyphen Magazine
After their son took his own life on November 29th, David Phan's family received two boxes. One box, sent by Bennion Junior High, was filled with generic pamphlets on how to deal with suicide-related grief. The other box, given by current and former classmates, contained over 600 letters expressing their support and sorrow for the loss of their child. These letters, according to family advocate Steven Ha, paint a portrait of a 14-year-old who, despite being a victim of bullying himself, protected other victims of bullying. At a December 20th briefing for local Asian American activists at the offices of the Refugee and Immigrant Center – Asian Association of Utah, Ha read out loud one such letter from a former classmate:
"Dear Phan family. Your son David is a life saver. I'm going to miss him…This kid is amazing, has a great personality…I've never met someone who could make me smile when I'm deeply sad. He saved my sister's life. She was going to kill herself, but you [David] talked her out of it. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a sister because of him, your son…I will not forget you [David]. I am letting balloons go in the air to honor you. I'm so lucky to have met him. He always made everyone smile…If someone was sad, he'd ask if they need a hug. He was the hero of the school. If only I was still there, I would've made sure this wouldn't have happened."
Tragically, it did. And now a Vietnamese American family grieves for the loss of their son and seeks answers. The answers given by Granite School District spokesperson Ben Horsely in the immediate wake of David's suicide were not only insufficient but struck the Phan family and supporters as defensive, insensitive, and even illegal. "David," said Horsely, faced "significant personal challenges on multiple fronts" for which he supposedly received support for from a guidance counselor. And despite a report of bullying several years ago, "[David] never reported any further bullying concerns and, on the contrary, reported that things were going well."
In response to these statements, the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah sent a letter to Granite School District Superintendant Martin W. Bates (made public in The Salt Lake Tribune), charging that Horsely "released confidential and protected information about David in violation of federal and state law, as well as making false and misleading statements and insinuations about David and his family." The letter continues, "Most troubling to David's parents and to us is that this pattern of wrongful behavior appears to be crafted to deflect questions about any potential responsibility from the District and to try to cast blame and suspicion on David and his family." The school and the school district have been asked to cease and desist from commenting further on David and his family.
Clearly, things were not "going well" for David. And as more social media chatter and newspaper articles came out, it became clear that there was a crucial dimension to the bullying that caused much anxiety for Bennion and the Granite School District–David was gay.
As reported in The Salt Lake Tribune, while David's family lovingly supported him when he came out as gay, David shielded his parents from the "horror and negative experiences" he faced at Bennion. The desire to protect the parents from knowing that one is being bullied is quite common, according to Dr. Amanda Di Bartolomeo, a clinical psychologist at George Mason University who has worked with students in similar situations. But what's uncommon and inexcusable is that no one from Bennion alerted the Phan family about any "personal challenges," whether bullying or non-bullying related.
As reported in The Salt Lake Tribune, on the day David committed suicide, Bennion alerted his mother, Phuong Tran, to let her know that her son had been suspended. When Tran rushed to the school, she was told by the principal that the reason for David's suspension was because they found a condom in his backpack. When asked why a condom should justify suspension, she was told that they would discuss it further the following Tuesday.
Apparently, Bennion exists in a universe where the search of an Asian-Pacific Islander American (APIA) student's body and personal property is warranted, and where a condom on campus is seen as a sign of criminal behavior rather than mature responsibility (not to mention that many public schools freely give out condoms to students to encourage safe-sex practices). Whereas David's Vietnamese family unconditionally embraced him when he came out as gay, Bennion and Granite turned its back on David as he endured anti-gay bullying–and used the condom to punitively construct David's sexuality as a threat to the school.
Many Asian Americans around the country turned to social media to express a range of responses–shock, anger, sadness–in response to David's suicide, the reports of anti-gay bullying, and the statements issued by Bennion Junior High and the Granite School Distrct. Pahole Sookkasikon, a PhD student in American Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and an organizer in the Thai American community, posted on his Facebook wall, "I am outraged for David Phan. His suicide could have been prevented…it may get better in the future, but what about it being better NOW."
Dennis Chin, member of the Gay Asian Pacific Islander Men of New York (GAPIMNY), posted on his Facebook wall, "Really triggering for me. Been thinking a lot about what the right response to this would look like. And how deep our wounds run, and persist, despite 'getting better.' And…how I even made it here alive…"
Local groups in Utah, led by Ha, are already in the process of coordinating a response. Ha, a member of Utah's small but growing 8,000 plus Vietnamese American community as well as first vice-chairman of the Utah Vietnamese American Chamber of Commerce, is leading a coalition of local Asian American and LGBT civil liberties organizations, namely the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) and the Utah Pride Center, to pursue a path of legislative changes through the Utah State Senate to combat bullying as well as legal redress for the Phan family. To that end, according to Ha, the Phan family currently has several options to pursue multiple complaints and lawsuits. Complaints will be filed by the ACLU to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the US Department of Education. The Phan family has also accepted pro bono services from the Salt Lake City firm of Ford and Huff, who will assist in deciding if national law firms may be more suitable. A separate suit for defamation and wrongful death is being considered as well. Ha hopes that national Asian-Pacific Islander (API) organizations and individuals will support these legislative and legal efforts to prevent more tragedies like David's suicide from happening again.
However, Esther Kim, a queer Korean American organizer living in Salt Lake City (and a product of the Granite School District), would like to see other forms of mobilization that provide effective resources to local APIA and queer youth of color. As Kim wrote on a Facebook thread about David's death, "The API community in Utah is hella heteronormative and it makes me uneasy as a queer API person to see a desire to do this work in such a reactionary, savior-esque way. Queer folks of color existed and were marginalized before David Phan and we will continue to exist after the dust settles. This work requires a real commitment from allied communities to get into it–and not just folks who are looking to benefit off of a tragedy."
In a separate interview, Kim added, "It's really frustrating to live in Utah and then have connections to national organizations on the coasts. But the practices of these national organizations are really space-specific. They work at the places where they're at because they have a specific kind of infrastructure to support them. So when you try to apply those kinds of models here, they don't work. I know queer API people who are doing marriage equality in San Francisco. I understand why they're doing that, but for me, that is not important in Utah."
Emilio Manuel Camu, president of the Asian American Student Association of the University of Utah, had this to say: "As a student that graduated from the Granite School District, I've witnessed and been a victim of the neglect by the administration whenever bullying was discussed…they continue to blame the victim and the family and try to uphold their status as a wonderful and safe space for students to learn." Camu added, "If any place is a strict believer of the Model Minority Myth of Asian Americans, it's Utah…As long as they do well in class, they're noticed, but that's about it. I think it's a little different in Utah because a lot of the AA students I've worked with think they're the only AAs because we have such a small community that they can't reach out for support, because the 'support' they're given is deemed sufficient and their 'problem' is neglected."
For his work as president of the AASA, Camu said, "We've received plenty of complaints from counselors about hosting our annual Asian American High School Conference because we talk about issues of gender, sex, racism within the Asian American community. It's not something they feel comfortable discussing, and even some of the administrators at the U [nickname for the University of Utah] have discouraged us from talking about being AA [and] queer."
Unsurprisingly, Utah school districts have a long pattern of aggressive discrimination of organized queer students. I remember in 1995 when the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance club at a high school I attended, East High School, prompted the Salt Lake City School District to shut down all non-curricular clubs, a move that led the ACLU of Utah to file two lawsuits on behalf of students. It also prompted the formation of a different club at another high school I attended, West High School–SAFE, or Students Against F**s Everywhere. In October 2000, the Salt Lake City School District reinstated all nonacademic clubs, including East's GSA, and the ACLU dropped its litigation.
Since then, despite its status as the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Salt Lake City has surprised many by coming to be known as a gay-friendly city, culminating in its selection by The Advocate as "the gayest town in America" (based on an active gay nightlife and anti-discrimination protections for gay and transgender people, adopted by the LDS Church in November 2009). That said, the Salt Lake metropolitan area has miles to go to address bullying of youth, queer youth, queer youth of color, and APIA youth:
- According to a 2011 report by the Utah Department of Health, Utah teens commit suicide more often than their peers in other parts of the nation, with two youths treated for suicide attempts every day in Utah;
- According to Valerie Larabee, executive director of the Utah Pride Center, more than 70 percent of LGBT teens in Utah recently reported being verbally or physically harassed for their sexual orientation;
- According to a 2005 national study by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), 44 percent of LGBT students of color reported experiencing verbal harassment due to both their sexual orientation and race/ethnicity, while 13 percent of LGBT students of color experience physical harassment due to both sexual orientation and race/ethnicity;
- And according to a recent report released by AAPI Nexus, findings show that Asian American students are bullied in U.S. schools much more than students belonging to any other racial group.
All together, these harrowing numbers speak to the hostile climate that face queer APIA youth like David, a climate that Bennion Junior High and the Granite School District–and many other schools and school districts across the country–cannot, or will not, alleviate.
While the Phan family grieves and Ha solidifies his coalition for legal and policy redress, Cindy Huynh, a PhD student in the Department of Education, Culture, and Society at the University of Utah, along with Thanh-Tung Than-Trong, David's cousin, Phan family spokesperson, and a PhD student as well in the same department, will speak with different Vietnamese organizations and communities around the country to gather support. And individuals representing various queer-specific APIA and non-queer specific APIA groups have expressed interest in supporting the Phan family and various forms of mobilization. While the Phan family might never receive the answers they deserve from Bennion and Granite, hopefully these different efforts to address anti-gay bullying will produce some measure of solace and justice to the family for the loss of David.
Special thanks to Thanh-Tung Than-Trong for her help and for providing cherished photos of David. Our deepest condolences for your loss.

40 CFR 439.2 - General monitoring requirements.
§ 439.2
General monitoring requirements.
Permit compliance monitoring is required for each regulated pollutant generated or used at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, except where the regulated pollutant is monitored as a surrogate parameter. Permit limits and compliance monitoring are not required for regulated pollutants that are neither used nor generated at the facility. Except for cyanide, for which an alternate monitoring requirement is established in subparts A and C of this part, a determination that regulated pollutants are neither used nor generated should be based on a review of all raw materials in use, and an assessment of the process chemistry, products and by-products resulting from each of the manufacturing processes. This determination along with a recommendation of any surrogate must be submitted with permit applications for approval by the permitting authority, reconfirmed by an annual chemical analysis of wastewater from each monitoring location, and measurement of a non-detect value for each regulated pollutant or its surrogate. Permits must specify that such determinations will be maintained in the facility's permit records with their discharge monitoring reports and will be available to regulatory authorities upon request.
Unless noted otherwise, self-monitoring will be conducted at the point where the final effluent is discharged.

Freshmen Emma Miller and Danniele Fulmer and sophomore Katelyn Wingerd achieved their personal best times during the Paul Short Run hosted by Lehigh University last weekend. The Paul Short Run consisted of a 6K race.
Wilson competed with four total runners and therefore was unable to place as a team despite some impressive individual performances. Emma Miller crossed the line at 25:35, placing 288 out of 484 runners. Katelyn Wingerd clocked in at 29:43 and Danniele Fulmer followed closely behind in 30:04.
Despite the unseasonal heat conditions, Wilson recorded new individual best times for the 2013 season. The team will take a break this weekend and return to action on October 19th when they participate in the Gettysburg Invitational hosted by Gettysburg College.

Inspired by latte art in which baristas draw hearts and pine trees out of foam, a chef at a popular okonomiyaki shop in Japan has developed a reputation for using the Japanese-style pizzas as blank canvases for her deft mayonnaise art.
Among Osaka's regional delicacies is the okonomiyaki, often referred to as Japanese pizza or savory Japanese pancakes. The batter, made up of flour, water, eggs, and dashi, can also be filled with a variety of other ingredients including shredded cabbage, pork, green onions, octopus, squid, and vegetables.
The flat pancakes are fried on a teppan, or griddle, and topped with condiments like okonomiyaki sauce, described as a thicker Worcestershire-type sauce, and mayonnaise.
At the Okaru restaurant in Osaka, one okonomiyaki-maker has proven to be particularly deft with a pack of mayonnaise, drawing well-known local landmarks like a lighthouse on one pancake, and Disney character Mickey Mouse on another, reports Japanese English news site Rocketnews24.com.
Other popular okonomiyaki eateries in the city include Tengu, Kuro-Chan and Mizuno, says CNNGo.
Meanwhile, social news site BuzzFeed recently curated a collection of "food imitating art" that includes a portrait of "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" made entirely of jelly beans and a Michelangelo masterpiece, "The Creation of Adam," stippled on a banana.

It amazes me just how creative people
are. Taylor Barrett a G Plusser
and graduate from Northwestern University,
decided to use a google hang out to watch
her 11 week old puppy. Its an instant
cute puppy cam. Who doesn't love to watch
that at work.
She set up her first Google Hang Out
and gave herself an invite. It was
definitely an office hit.
Gizmodo.com.au Reports
"Because I had left the sound on when I left," Taylor explains, "she woke once my coworkers and I Ooohed and Aaaawed from the office. I had woken the baby!" So she turned off the mic on her office computer and let the tiny Chihuahua curl up and doze off.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The last of 22 boys allegedly sexually assaulted by a former Colorado Springs Police officer and wrestling coach took the stand Monday.
The trial for Joshua Carrier, who is accused of more than 200 criminal charges, including sexually assaulting more than a dozen boys, continued Monday.
Carrier was the Resource Officer at Horace Mann Middle School two years ago, then volunteered as an assistant wrestling coach last year, which is when the alleged assaults took place.
Two of the boys who testified Monday both said Carrier called them out of class to "strip search" them for drugs behind closed doors. Unlike most who testified before them, neither of these boys were members of the wrestling team during the 2010-2011 school year.
The boys on the wrestling team who had testified over the past three weeks had said Carrier inappropriately touched them while performing routine "skin checks." Skin checks are exams a coach performs on a wrestler for injuries such as ringworm or lesions that would keep a wrestler from competing.
The boys said they were not naked, but both said Carrier moved their genitals around during the search.
According to a Colorado Springs Police training supervisor, a person cannot be strip searched unless he or she has been arrested, but neither of the boys were arrested prior to the searches.
One boy said Assistant Principal Ken Potman was in the room, the other said Assistant Principal Peggy Layh was there prior to the search. Nick Graham, the school's Security Guard last year, was also present in both cases, according to the boys.
The mother of one of the boys testified Monday the school administrators were not able to give her any answers about why her son was searched unlawfully when she called the school following the incident.
Despite the boy's claims that Layh was present just before the search on him, Layh testified earlier in the trial she was unaware of the searches until the boy's mother made that phone call.
If Carrier is found guilty, he could face life in prison. The trial will continue Tuesday.

With the region title up for the grabs to the series' winner, it was important for both teams to win the initial game and claim control of their destiny.
And thanks to Zac Fuller's efforts both at the plate and on the mound, the Darts were able to pull away early and take home a 8-0 shutout victory over the Titans.
Fuller had a full day's work for the Darts Tuesday afternoon, controlling the Titans' bats by striking out 13 hitters while allowing just three hits on the mound. At the plate Fuller had a pair of hits that helped lead a nine-hit, eight-run charge that saw the Darts score in every inning except the first and fifth inning.
After being held scoreless in the first inning, Davis scored five runs in the following three innings to take a commanding lead. Davis completely shut the door on the Titans by scoring two more runs in the sixth and another run in the seventh while Fuller kept Syracuse off the scoreboard for the rest of the game. The Darts were also aided by the Syracuse defense, who committed five errors in the game against Davis' two.
Fuller's win was his sixth of the season, leading the team in that category. Jason Jourdan took the loss for Syracuse, his second of the season.
The Darts have won nine straight ball games and are 18-2 overall, losing only to Weber during region play.
As of press time, the Darts needed one more victory to claim the Region 1 title and a No. 1 seed heading into the 5A baseball playoffs, which begin Tuesday afternoon. Should the Darts claim the No. 1 seed they will likely play Copper Hills at home.
The Darts and Titans final game of the season will occur Friday afternoon at Syracuse High School. Game time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
The Clipper will have an updated score of Wednesday's game available upon completion.

In which I am shaming the show that shames the fat shamers. VENGEANCE IS MIIIINE.
One night, as we were "text-fighting," he texted me with "Lose 10lbs and then talk shit on me." So I publicly shamed him.
(Before you judge me, I honestly had NO idea this asshat had a wife.)
cell phone
Dare to cast the cell phone user a censuring glance for violating the law, common courtesy, posted signs or privacy, and they'll look at you as though you proposed exhuming their grandmothers and urinating on them.
In other words, "Revenge" is the television show people would make if they were sitting around listening to me tell bedtime stories to coax myself into sleep.
And why is this actress wearing a dress full of spikes?

Stewart, Trenton. (2012). The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict. New York, NY: Little, Brown, and Co.
The Mysterious Benedict Society series, launched in 2007, introduced young readers to a intriguing set of adolescent fighters of injustice. Their mentor Nicholas Benedict is the brilliant mastermind who organizes and directs the group, but who is he really? This prequel provides the answer. Nicholas is indeed an orphan, and this tale begins with his incarceration in a new orphanage at age 9. He is an odd lad with disconcerting narcolepsy that will dog him all his life; he falls asleep when emotionally bombarded.
At Rothschild's End, a wealthy magnate bequeathed that an orphanage be maintained in honor of his saintly wife. The Manor has fallen on hard times, and Mr. Collum, the new director, is determined to rectify financial chaos. Nicholas arrives to become the brunt of teasing and torment by a fiendish group of bullies called the Spiders, but he also finds friendship with John Cole, another orphan. Nick manages to survive by his wit and cunning while the tension surrounding each encounter with the Spiders is spellbinding.
Stewart includes essentials of the enthralling adventure story—a dark, foreboding Manor that is literally crumbling around the orphans; a locked room for imprisoning Nicholas to contain the impact of his sleeping disorder; a secret treasure that could save everyone; and a spooky, undiscovered observatory. All combine to provide Nicholas with plenty of impediments as he races to find that treasure ahead of Mr. Collum. Along the way, he discovers the value of true friendships and the inner strength that he will need as the future patriarch of the Mysterious Benedict Society. As the others in the series, this book displays Stewart's witty and charming style as the suspense mesmerizes readers.
Read an excerpt from the book at the Little, Brown and Company website.

My Profile
The Rentals
The Rentals were the new wave-influenced project of singer/songwriter Matt Sharp, former bassist for power pop favorites Weezer. Born in Arlington, VA, on September 22, 1969, Sharp co-founded Weezer in 1992, and in the months to follow, the band emerged as one of the most popular up-and-coming acts on the Los Angeles club scene; their self-titled debut LP appeared on Geffen two years later, becoming a major hit thanks their smash single and video "Buddy Holly." During the spring of 1994, Sharp mounted the first Rentals studio session. Assembling a roster including Weezer drummer Pat Wilson, that dog. violinist Petra Haden, vocalist/keyboardist Cherielynn Westrich, and guitarist Rod Cervera, subsequent dates yielded the group's 1995 debut, Return of the Rentals, which notched a hit with the infectious "Friends of P." Sharp returned to Weezer to record the band's acclaimed 1996 follow-up, Pinkerton, but announced his exit from the lineup in February 1998; the second Rentals album, Seven More Minutes, followed a year later. After a six-year hiatus, Sharp brought back the Rentals in 2005. After touring with Ozma in the summer of 2006, Sharp's group released the EP The Last Little Life in 2007. In December of the same year, the Rentals announced that they would begin recording a new album in 2008. The resulting Songs About Time, a 2009 multimedia project consisting of photographs, short films, and three mini-albums, was made available in a limited-edition deluxe box set in 2010. In April of 2011, the band released Present Resilience: A Benefit Album For the Japanese Relief. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Pee is sterile. There are worse things in the world (cough cough weezer)
Personally, I AM NOT FRIENDS WITH PEE. Pee is waste product, and rather smelly, especially concentrated asparagus pee. Pee is not odoriffic. Some people like to drink pee.
I don't like to drink pee. Not one bit.

The End
The Rentals are by far one of the best bands I've ever heard. I am so glad I discovered them seven years ago. Their music has become a constant in the background of my life.

A divided federal appeals court has ruled that federal regulators went too far with new rules to control air pollution in parts of the eastern United States.
The decision Tuesday is a blow for several states, the Obama administration and environmental groups, which had sought to prevent "upwind states" from emitting possibly unhealthy levels of contaminants across state borders, a requirement known as the "good neighbor" policy.
But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia concluded that the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded its authority when imposing the restrictions.
"When EPA quantified states' good neighbor obligations, it did not allow the states the initial opportunity to implement the required reductions with respect to sources within their borders," the 2-1 panel said. "By doing so, EPA departed from its consistent prior approach to implementing the good neighbor provision and violated the act."
The issue was tossed back to federal officials to rewrite the regulations.
A number of states and power companies had sued over the July 2011 rule limiting power plant emissions in 28 "upwind" states.
The court opinion written by Judge Brett Kavanaugh said some upwind states were unfairly being required to reduce emissions "by more than their own significant contributions to a downwind state's nonattainment."
Kavanaugh described a "Catch-22" scenario that would make it hard for states to comply with federal rules.
"EPA faults the states for not hitting that impossible-to-know target with their (State Implementation Plans) submissions," Kavanaugh said. "In effect, EPA's view is that the only chance states have to hit the target is before EPA defines the target. By the time EPA makes the target clear, it's already too late for the states to comply."
He was supported by Judge Thomas Griffith. Both were named to the bench by President George W. Bush. Less stringent rules set up by the Bush administration will now go into place until the rules are rewritten.
The requirement is known as the Transport or Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. Under the Clean Air Act, the good neighbor provision requires upwind states to bear responsibility for what the appeals court said was their fair share of "the mess" in downwind states.
In dissent, Judge Judith Rogers said the court majority exceeded its authority, ignoring congressional intent.
"The result is an unsettling of the consistent precedent of this court strictly enforcing jurisdictional limits, a redesign of Congress's vision of cooperative federalism between the states and the federal government in implementing the CAA based on the court's own notions of absurdity and logic that are unsupported by a factual record, and a trampling on this court's precedent on which the (EPA) was entitled to rely in developing the Transport Rule rather than be blindsided by arguments raised for the first time in this court," wrote Rogers, a Clinton appointee to the appeals court.
The agency finalized separate new federal standards on toxic pollutants and mercury emissions from coal power plants last fall. That move was praised by environmentalists but criticized by others, who predict lost jobs and a strain on the nation's power grid. Lawsuits over those new rules have been filed.
The case decided Tuesday is EME Homer City Generation LP v. EPA (11-1302).

Let me bring this issue to level of the working public who depend upon the Ferry System. I moved to south Kitsap County in 2004 thinking taking the Bremerton Ferry system was a way I could "work" on the way to work and was no greater time lost than driving to Bellevue from South Snohomish County. My assessment was correct but I failed to understand the lack of reliability of the Ferry Service.
In 1995 I resigned from my Business Development position with a software company in Bellevue to take a position in Kitsap County. At my farewell luncheon given by my boss and co-workers the Vice President said jokingly, "Hiring someone who relies on the Ferry's to get to work is not something I'll do in the future." Why? Because instead of being someone he could rely on to pick up an unexpected customer issue outside the normal work hours. I quickly became the person whom often times could only participate in ad hoc early morning meetings via cell phone and when hosting out-of-town investors in Seattle I most often was the first to quietly leave the dinner event to "catch" the last ferry home.
The message here is clear, the unreliable ferry system is a negative factor for businesses thinking of relocating in Kitsap County and it most certainly impedes job and career opportunities of the population in South Kitsap County.
Had I understood the inequities of the ferry system management, I suppose I would have chosen to move to a more northern location in Kitsap County or Bainbridge Island.

Google celebrates the 366th birthday of German artist and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian, whose observations of insects and their habitats stood at the dawn of the scientific revolution.
By Eoin O'Carroll, Staff / April 2, 2013
In many ways, the artist and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian, celebrated by Google Tuesday on her 366th birthday, fell victim to her own artistic talent. Ms. Merian's drawings, engravings, and paintings were so good that most people ended up ignoring the extraordinary observations that accompanied them.

DRACUT -- The cute little cartoon pooch peers out from the computer screen.
The message expressed above and below reads; "In dog beers, I've only had one." The cartoon will undergo some minor changes before it ends up as someone's T-shirt.
"I'm making that one for myself," says John Gordon, owner of The Top Half, a custom screen-printing and embroidery company that has been steadily doing business in Dracut since 1995. "I don't drink but I thought it was really clever. Somebody might see me wearing that and order 1,000 of them."
Gordon has been working at The Top Half since the early 1970s when he was just a teen. His older brother, Anthony "Buddy" Gordon Jr., started the company in 1970 in the basement of his Coburn Street apartment in Lowell. The business quickly grew and moved to a storefront down the road near the corner of Lakeview Aiken avenues until 1995, when they put down stakes at their current location in Dracut at 1794 Bridge St. Unit 28 in the Bridgewood Plaza.
The company was incorporated in 1998 and the 50-year-old John Gordon took over as president and CEO in 2009 when Buddy retired.
"We put a premium on customer satisfaction," John Gordon says. "That's been our focus from the very beginning. That's what Buddy taught me when I was just a kid. That's why we've been able to stay in business."
The bright and airy little shop, which has seven full- and part-time employees, caters to a wide range of clients, from a family looking for T-shirts for a reunion picnic to polo shirts for a corporate fundraiser, Gordon says every job is important and attention is paid to every detail.
Ashley Gordon, The Top Half's general manager and Buddy's daughter, is trying to come up with an exclusive clothing line, such as a "Dracut Line," but Gordon says it's difficult to break new ground.
"It's tricky. It's hard, but our attitude and our focus is to just keep doing what we've been doing since we started more than 40 years ago," Gordon says. "Keep getting better all the time and keep the customer satisfied and good things will come."
Q: How has the advent of the computer changed the way things are done at The Top Half?
A: "It's been such a long time since we worked without computers I'll have to stop and think. The difference is enormous. Huge. We had what we called a 'camera room' and we had to take a ton of pictures of whatever artwork we were using and change it to a negative and back again. We used all rub-on letters with a hundred different fonts. On the computer, we can change the style, the letters, the artwork all with the click of a mouse. It's faster and better. Night and day."
Q: Who comes into The Top Half looking to get their apparel printed?
A: "We are constantly trying to identify our target market but it's tough. It keeps changing. We don't do a lot of team apparel. We prefer big jobs. We'd love to do more. Bring 'em in. We do a lot of work for businesses that are having promotional events. We do clothing for road races, cancer walks, other types of fundraising walks, of course. Last fall we did a big order for Brestyan's Gymnastics in Burlington, where (Olympic gymnast) Aly Raisman and Alicia Sacramone train. They had an invitational and we gave out shirts to the people who attended. Aly is going to London and unfortunately, Alicia didn't make the team.
"When I brought down the first sample for approval, of course, I printed one for myself to wear. Aly signed it. We've done some other embroidery and screen print jobs for Brestyan's Gym.
"We've printed for Life Is Good, the Boston Bruins, the NFL. Those jobs came through third-party vendors. We've done shirts for (radio station 107.3 FM) WAAF, Salem Sportswear, Champion, ADIDAS, the list goes on and on."
Q: Sounds like business is good. Has The Top Half been able to weather the country's recent economic downturn?
A: "To be honest with you, we've been slightly down for the last three years. Not bad. Just enough to notice, you know? The economy has been killing everybody but we're holding our own and you know what? We're still here. We have a lot of loyal customers who keep coming back time after time. They wouldn't think of going anywhere else. They know when they come here, we're going to do the job right and just the way they want it."
Q: What is that huge piece of machinery toward the rear of the shop and what does it do?
A: "It's a Barudan embroidery machine and it does exactly what it is told to do. No seriously, it does everything. You program it for a particular job and it's all automated. We bought it a few years ago. It was a big investment but it was well worth it. Before we had this, we had to send out all our embroidery work."
Q: How many T-shirts, or articles of clothing, would you guess you print in a year?
A: "Well, we printed 35,000 pieces in June, if that helps give you an idea. We can push out 700 T-shirts in an hour if we have to. We meet the demand, whatever it is. No job too big or too small. Satisfaction guaranteed."

(The rewrite pulled strong random numbers out of /dev/random and wrote them to a mode 0600 file in ~, then used that as the key. I pointed out that this was as secure as we could make it without external key storage on a more secure medium or a requirement for users to type in passphrases, but that the security of the whole system was still no better than the security of the random key file, rendering all the password-protection pointless since we could just have stored the passwords unencrypted in the users' home directories mode 0600 and got exactly the same level of security. But, no, the spec said encryption so encryption we must have.)

It was clear and understood by the QSA and management that this only prevented accidental disclosure due to shoulder surfing, printing or copying of config files and would not prevent disclosure to anyone with access to the host. That was fine and understood to be the risk, obfuscating sensitive config values turned out not to be that big a deal in practice.

Rule of law should not be confused with rule by law
By Soli J Sorabjee
Published: 22nd September 2013 07:02 AM
Last Updated: 22nd September 2013 07:23 AM
Rule of Law owing to its indiscriminate use at seminars and lectures has meant different things to different people at different times. Probably that is what exasperated Sir Ivor Jennings, the famous constitutional historian, to characterise Rule of Law as 'an unruly horse'. I thoroughly disagree with this description because if we properly understand and appreciate its essence, Rule of Law can be a noble steed with a good jockey in the saddle. Hence there is a need for clarity on the subject.
First and foremost, Rule of Law should not be equated with law and order. Breakdown of law and order is a temporary phenomenon. Breakdown of Rule of Law means collapse of good governance and breakdown of constitutional machinery in a State. Remember that Rule of Law is not a legalistic slogan. It symbolises an enlightened civilised society's quest to combine that degree of liberty without which law is tyranny with that degree of law without which liberty becomes licence.
An essential component of the Rule of Law is that exercise of governmental powers prejudicial to a person must have the sanction of law. Consequently, the holding of a public meeting or staging of a dramatic performance cannot be prohibited by an executive order without the sanction of law. Again, a play or a book cannot be banned by an administrative circular without the backing of a law. When John Adams used the historic phrase, "a government of laws and not of men", he was not indulging in a rhetorical flourish but was flatly repudiating the idea of rule by fiat or firman, by individual whim and caprice. He was emphasising what Burke had earlier said that law and arbitrariness are sworn enemies.
A basic tenet of the Rule of Law is: However high you may be, the law is above you. You may be the Prime Minister or the Speaker or the Imam or the Archbishop or a judge or the Sankaracharya or whoever, all are equally subject to the law. That imparts the element of non-discrimination in the concept of the Rule of Law.
Rule of Law is essential for the protection of human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, the Magna Carta of Mankind, in its third Preamble mentions that human rights should be protected by the Rule of Law. In its pathbreaking judgment in Keshavanand Bharti's case, our Supreme Court ruled that there are certain essential features of the Constitution which cannot be amended by Parliament even if it possesses the requisite majority. In its list of essential features is included the Rule of Law.
It is important not to confuse Rule of Law with rule by law. The existence of a law is necessary but that is not sufficient. The law must have a certain core component which guarantees the basic human rights and the human dignity of every person. Nazi Germany put Jews in concentration camps and thereafter sent them to the gas chambers. The justification offered was that there was a law which empowered such acts to be done. But that was rule by law, not Rule of Law. During the apartheid regime in South Africa, repressive and racially discriminatory laws against the black majority were sought to be justified on the basis of enacted laws. It is a heresy that mere existence of a law would permit gross violation of human rights at the altar of the Rule of Law.
Above all, it must be remembered that there is nothing western or eastern or northern or southern about the lofty concept of the Rule of Law. It has a global reach and global dimension. In the memorable words of late Justice Vivian Bose of our Supreme Court, Rule of Law, "is the heritage of all mankind" because its ultimate rationale is belief in the human rights and human dignity of all individuals everywhere in the world.
Sorabjee is a former Attorney General of India

Readers are indeed thankful to the author for making it absolutely clear that rule of law and rule by law are two different concepts. For example, many educated people often make an argument that terrorists must be killed and no mercy should be shown to them. Question here is whether the right of the State conferred by some law is so absolute that it empowers the police to kill a citizen merely on the basis of suspicion. Second is the government's power of taxation. Although citizens expect that the revenue collected through taxes is properly utilized, in practice we find that a major part of revenue is simply siphoned off by corrupt officials and their political masters. There is only rule by law, which is actually lawlessness as it is open to massive misuse. Citizens really wish that there is indeed rule of law in our greet land called Bharat.

An enlightened society? what is this except a description of anon-existetnthing. are various sections of the society desire same principles to inform the law of the land.no.for rule of law to be sustained law should be subscribed to by every one in a society except a marginal fringe. does such a thing exist. law is different in sociteties governed by different ethical formulations. who decides "enlightenment".?what are its charecteristics. ?people venerated by one group are abhorred by another group.that law fails in many places and on many occasions are due to its clash with religious and cultural ehos of a people. lord denning went so far as to say "every social problem iinvolves a moral problem and for moral problems there is only religious solution". kurup

Rule of law must be governed by an old dictum "consistent & equal application of law across all sections of society". What erodes the trust in the rule of law is the selective approach in its application.

It is time for all patriotic and well meaning people in india to uphold and defend the great principle of rule of law. The country and people are undergoing a great trauma without sufficient safeguards in place for rule of law to prevail. Maharashtra, gujarat, andhra pradesh, tamilnadu goa, punjab, haryana, Delhi etc are posing serious challenge to this concept. Even the union of india appears to be a party refusing to exercise it's constitutional responsibilities. Unless all patriotic indians unite and fight for rule of law, they will be an accessory to the sabotage of the constitution of the great Republic of india. May God save my country and my people!
