A full set of rules will be posted as we get closer to the start date.
NCAA Requirements: All coaches of 15U and above boys teams must have current NCAA coaching approval numbers and enter their team roster online with the NCAA. Click here to link the NCAA's Coaches Approval site, and click here to enter your team's roster on the NCAA BBCS site
2014 Tournament Age/Grade Division Rules: Ages are based on the grade players are in during the 2013-2014 school year. Age determining date is 9/1/2014.
NOTE NEW/UPDATED RULE - A player can participate in a maximum of two age/grade divisions and a maximum of two teams per tournament, as long as they meet the age/grade requirements for both divisions (except when noted below). They cannot play on two teams in the same age/grade division. All players participating in bracket play must have participated in at least one of the team's pool games. During the NCAA recruiting periods, the rule is different: Because of the NCAA rule prohibiting players from playing more than 3 games per day, and 5 games in a rolling two-day period, players in the 15U through 17U/Varsity divisions can only play on one team and in one division during the entire event. A 15U-17U/Varsity player cannot play in two different age groups or the same age group during the tournament – and if a team loses, that player cannot switch to another team still in competition. For all divisions (9U through 17U/Varsity), all players participating in bracket play must have participated in at least one of the team's pool games.

I've been waiting for a good thread (or have missed the same) on a review of the new plug-in. Is anyone out there using it? If so, has it helped? a little? a lot?
It works exactly as advertised, so just do a good job of reading the advertisement before you buy.
That sounds strange, allow me to explain.
Basically, the GTD plug in does everything that the web site says it does, and does it exactly the WAY that the web site says it does. Therefore, it works exactly as advertised. This is more then you can say for most software.
However, the thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't really *do* all that much... it is a very simple program designed to make features that Outlook already supports more readily apparant, and more elegant. People who are expecting a silver bullet will be disapointed-- that's not what it is. If you are expecting the GTD plug in to add a bunch of new functionality to then you are not going to be happy. However, if it is important to you (as it is to me) that a tool be highly customized for your way of doing things, the plug in will make you very happy-- it is very elegant, and makes implementing the GTD system far more intuitive. You feel like you are using a tool designed speciffically for GTD, instead of shoe-horning the GTD methodology into a more generalized tool.
Bottom line: I really like it. It is very nicely implemented, and it works very well. It makes tracking certain classes of items much more intuitive, and (this is important: ) grafts GTD terminology into your primary digital workflow tool.
Also (because it doesn't really change the way outlook stores the informatioN) it syncs well with PDAs. I have a PocketPC, and the transition was totally seamless.
There are a couple minor bugs (the toolbar sometimes disapears in windows, and you have to click a "refresh" button to get it back) but it is well supported, and there are workarounds for everything that is wrong.
I think that if $50 isn't a lot of money to you (and for most people on these boards, I suspect it isn't) then buy it. However, if $50 is something you have to think about first, then read the web site. Go through the demonstration. Then read it again. If it still sounds good, buy it. The idea here is make sure you understand what they describe, because they are not over-selling it-- it is exactly what they describe. However, when you really understand what they are describing you'll realize that it isn't that big of a deal.
The plug in won't part the red sea... but it will help you get your GTD system more elegantly integrated into your tool of choice. (Outlook)
You may be right-- I get around 200 or 300 emails per day, about half of which are actionable. Therefore, I cannot speak from experience to the question of how well it would work for someone who is not in the same situation.Originally Posted by signmaker
Again, though, it sounds like you read the content they provide, and understand what they are describing, and that lead you to the conclusion that it probably isn't right for you... you're probably correct, as (again) it is exactly as described.

DENVER (AP) — A day later, the NBA blew the whistle on Dahntay Jones for tripping Kobe Bryant.
The league assessed Denver's defensive specialist a flagrant-1 foul for sending the Lakers' star sprawling through the lane with a trip late in the third quarter of Monday night's game, something Bennett Salvatore's officiating crew missed.
Jones has three flagrant-foul points in the playoffs; one more and he's suspended for a game.
Also Tuesday, the league office downgraded Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum's flagrant-1 foul against Chris Andersen to a personal foul, and fined Lakers coach Phil Jackson $25,000 and the team the same amount for his public criticisms of the referees following Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
Jackson was angry with the free throw discrepancy — Denver's 49 attempts were 14 more than the Lakers — and he accused Jones of a dirty play for tripping Bryant during a rant about the officiating following Denver's 120-101 win that evened the series.
Asked if he felt Jones went out of his way to trip Bryant, Jackson replied: "Yes. It's not the first time it's happened in this series."
Bryant kept things light when asked if Jones tried to trip him, deadpanning: "I just fell on my face for no reason. I'm a klutz."
Bryant said Tuesday his opinion of Jones hasn't changed: "It hasn't at all. He's a good player."
Bryant had beaten Jones cutting to the basket when Jones stuck out his right foot.
Jones called it an accident, an instinctive move that lacked any malice or even forethought.
"It wasn't intentional," said Jones, who was at a loss to explain his actions.
"I can't. I was just playing basketball. We got tangled up."
Nuggets coach George Karl went to the film room to watch the play after the game.
"It was a weird reaction by Dahntay," Karl said. "I don't think it was premeditated and not in any context other then he got off balance, Kobe back-doored him, he looked like he slipped a little bit and it looked like he kicked out."
Jones had no explanation for extending his leg.
"Every movement that I have out there is not something I can explain. I'm just playing basketball, just reacting," Jones said. "I think he cut, so I guess I was trying to get my upper body position back there and we got tangled up."
Karl felt relieved that the league didn't suspend his top defender for Game 5 Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
"I'm glad it just was a flagrant and no suspension," Karl said. "I don't think this series is anything but a pretty even, NBA playoff series. They're not liking us, we're not liking them and it's not getting any kinder. It's going to be harder, tougher and meaner."
Karl said the league is toeing a thin line, however, by imposing a foul that wasn't whistled in the game.
"I don't think the precedent is good. If Bennett Salvatore saw that play would he have called a flagrant? I think he would have called a foul, but I don't think he would have called a flagrant," Karl said. "I think the mood of the game is being overridden by the mood of the office. I'm not sure that's the right precedent."
Jackson is the second coach to call Jones dirty during the playoffs, joining Byron Scott of the Hornets, who said the same thing in the first round, when Jones relentlessly hounded Chris Paul.
"I wouldn't expect them to call me the greatest player in the world," Jones retorted.
The Nuggets' defensive-first philosophy and physical style of play has produced plenty of critics, including Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and his team's fans, who filled the arena with chants of "Den-ver Thug-gets!" during the semifinals.
"Everybody knows how we use him," Karl said. "We sic him on the best perimeter guy. That's his job, that's his assignment. A Bruce Bowen mentality and he's done a good job with it. He's done well with it."
Jones isn't backing down from his detractors, either.
"They know there's a presence there and I'm going to play hard and I'm going to scrap and I'm going to try to help my team win, so whatever you want to call it," Jones said. "We call it playing hard."

2012 Suzuki SX4 Overview
The 2012 Suzuki SX4 is offered as either a 5-door hatchback or 4-door sedan. Sedans are available in Base, LE and Sport trim. Hatchbacks are offered in Base, Technology and Premium trim levels. All-wheel drive is available, but only in the 5-door hatchback. The basic sedan starts at a low $13,699, the hatch starts at $16,799 and all-wheel drive models begin at $16,999.Two transmissions are available-- a close-ratio 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which offers paddle shifters and a "sport" mode with simulated ratios. All SX4 models are powered by the same 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which has been tuned to produce 150 horsepower (148 when equipped with the CVT) and 140 lb-feet of torque. The EPA estimates the front-wheel drive SX4 Sport is capable of 25 mpg city and 30 mpg highway when equipped with the CVT. The all-wheel drive hatches are rated at 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
The base Suzuki SX4 sedan starts remarkably inexpensively at just under $14,000. It comes modestly equipped, but with the same 150 hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that's standard across the lineup. Even at this price, it includes power windows and locks, anti-lock brakes and front, side and curtain airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system.
An LE Popular trim comes back for 2012. It includes 15-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and remote keyless entry. The Sport sedan adds a sport-tuned suspension, a body kit, navigation and a subscription to Suzuki's "NuLink" system which provides in-car information and data such as fuel prices, weather forecasts and traffic.
The SX4 Sportback brings additional versatility to the lineup. The base Sportback features a sport-tuned suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear wiper, a CD/MP3 stereo, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry and air conditioning. It comes with either a choice of 6-speed manual or CVT transmission.
The all-wheel drive version of the Sportback, which Suzuki calls the SX4 Crossover, maintains the high-value content of the Sportback, but adds a 3-mode all-wheel drive system, heated mirrors and a special body kit.
The Technology trim adds such high-end features as heated front seats and a navigation system and a 1-year subscription to Suzuki's "NuLink" system.
2012 Suzuki SX4 Model Changes
The LE Anniversary Edition has been dropped, as has the Sport GTS trim. A new LE Popular trim returns after a year's absence, providing a leather-wrapped steering wheel, transmission shift paddles, cruise control and remote keyless entry. Stability control is now standard across the SX4 lineup.
2012 Suzuki SX4 Value
The Suzuki SX4 offers an excellent array of features for an astonishingly low price. Even with a starting price of just under $14,000, the base Suzuki is a value-laden car that offers the same efficient, powerful engine as in upper-level trims and a solid standard equipment list. At the top of the line, the all-wheel drive Technology hatchback doesn't break the $20,000 barrier, yet bears an impressive set of equipment. With the manual transmission, the SX4 achieves a respectable 26 combined EPA estimated miles per gallon.
2012 Suzuki SX4 Strengths
Low starting price; available all-wheel drive; good maneuverability; wide range of available trim levels

Sunday's pre-race show on Fox starts at 12 p.m. EST, followed by the race at 1:00.
Success in the Daytona 500 is not a reliable indicator of how a driver will perform over the full season. Just two of the past 20 Daytona 500 winners have gone on to win the Sprint Cup championship: Jimmie Johnson in 2006 and Jeff Gordon n 1997. (See chart.) And just three Daytona 500 winners have qualified for the Chase in the eight years that NASCAR has used that championship format — none since 2007. Last year's Daytona 500 winner, Trevor Bayne, wasn't even eligible for the Chase; before the season he had opted to run for Nationwide points rather than Cup points.
NASCAR's season-opening spectacle always raises plenty of questions. Here are 5 of the biggest this year.
"As painful as this is right now, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to go to Daytona and just start all over again and go race." — Carl Edwards, runner-up to Tony Stewart both on the track at Homestead and in the championship standings.
"Did I make it exciting enough for you?" Tony Stewart, aka "Smoke," asked his crew chief, Darian Grubb, over the radio after winning the closest championship battle in NASCAR history. In fact, Stewart knew that he had made it as close as he possibly could because he had done the math before the race. He pointed out that, although he trailed Edwards by 3 points — the equivalent of 3 spots on the track, according to NASCAR's new 1-point-per-position scoring system — he could still control his own destiny by winning the race. That's because each race winner gets a 3-point bonus. So even if Edwards finished second and led the most laps — worth 1 bonus point — the pair would be tied. But because he would have five wins on the season (all in the Chase) to just one for Edwards, Stewart would get the title on a tie-breaker.
Why he matters He still leads Tony Stewart by 3 points.
What he says "It's neat to go to Homestead and race it out. I'm sure these guys are going to be good down there."
What the numbers say All other contenders were officially eliminated at Phoenix.
NASCAR couldn't have scripted a much better Chase finale than the showdown between Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Only three drivers have multiple wins at Homestead; with two wins each, Edwards and Stewart are two of them.
Track Homestead-Miami Speedway (Homestead, Fla.), 1.5-mile paved oval
Race length 267 laps, 400.5 miles First race 1995
Despite the name — Sprint Cup — America's most popular form of motorsports is actually a series of grinding marathons. Often, winning a race requires gambling on fuel mileage, tire strategy or a risky pass. And more often than not, such gambles backfire and result in poor finishes.
WHY HE MATTERS: He leads Tony Stewart by 3 points with two races to go.
By one measure, the 2011 Chase has been business as usual. Jimmie Johnson is the only driver to have led all eight Chase races, and Johnson has led the most laps in the Chase by a wide margin (see chart). But unlike past Chases, when Johnson has parlayed his front-runner's status into the points lead, the No. 48 team has had trouble closing the deal. Despite leading 110 more laps than Tony Stewart has, Johnson has won just one race to Stewart's four.
Jimmie Johnson has dominated at Phoenix during the Chase era, with three wins and an average Chase-race finish of 3.3. But PIR management tore up the track after February's Subway Fresh Fit 500, which could negate much of Johnson's advantage. Faced with newer, grabbier pavement, elevation changes and a reconfigured "dogleg," teams will scrap old setup notes. "To me, it's going to be pretty amazing to be the penultimate race and have all those opportunities for something crazy to happen," said Carl Edwards. "It could shake everything up." Much like the rest of the 2011 season.
A wild weekend at Texas leaves just a pair of contenders in the Chase.

Women and girls have gone from the frying pan to the fire. Rape is a main reason why many refugees fled, but there is "an alarming lack of medical and counseling services" in their new homes, the report said.
"They face unsafe conditions in camps and elevated levels of domestic violence, while reports of early and /or forced marriage of women and girls are increasing," the report said.
Children are traumatized. "Abuse, neglect and exploitation" are risks that are right around the corner.
In Turkey, 8-year-old refugee children make drawings, just like kids everywhere. The images? Scenes from home of bombs and terror.
"Many teachers in host schools are ill-equipped to assist traumatized children -- as are their parents. Many children exhibit violent aggressive behavior," the report said, citing an IRC counselor in Jordan.
"Others have stopped eating, talking and sleeping."
The IRC is telling the world it urgently needs solutions.
Humanitarian aid must be increased. Borders must remain open. More assistance is needed for internally displaced Syrians. Urban refugees need more attention, and women and girls need better protection.
The world also must prepare for fallout and instability, even if the al-Assad government is toppled.
"The international community must quickly plan for a displacement crisis that could last well beyond the end of the Assad government and persist regardless of the political outcome of the conflict," the report said.
Now winter is here. Aid agencies are bracing for more misery.
One refugee in Lebanon said his family has spent the year living in a sheep shed. Now they face the punishment of winter: winds, cold, rain and snow. Even flooding.
"I cry in my heart. I feel depressed. It's unjust," he said. "Is there a worse way to live than this?"
In a camp near Turkey, Abdul Qadr al-Hasan's daughter, Siham, succumbed amid the frigid air.
"She was not sick. She didn't have any problems at all. We were up late that night and we were playing with her," al-Hasan said, speaking in a tent.
"We woke up the next morning, her mother checked on her. She was curled into a ball from the cold."
Also near Turkey, Sharifa struggles on.
She says it is "God's will this happened."
"The situation is hard here, nobody can bear this."
Sharifa may be a limping casualty of war, but she and other young traumatized Syrians -- living in tents, crammed in apartments and hiding in villages and towns -- are now the country's future.
They will limp home after the war ends to rebuild their land.
"I don't want to play again," she said. "I just want to walk."

The University of Newcastle today released its latest staff survey results.
The University is the second largest employer in the Hunter. The Your Voice survey is conducted by the University to gauge staff views across key areas. In 2010, 70 per cent of continuing staff took part in the survey.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nicholas Saunders, said that, overall, staff had rated the University more positively than in 2007.
"The 2010 Your Voice survey offers three important insights: solid advances in the past few years have improved our staff experience; we have work to do in a number of key areas; and we share similar achievements and challenges with the rest of the higher education sector.
"Key findings in 2010 included that 73 per cent of University staff expressed a feeling of strong commitment to the organisation and 80 per cent reported strong job satisfaction. Staff were also very positive about their colleagues, noting the talent and support of their team members."
In the comparison with 2007 Your Voice survey results, 90 per cent of the 42 indicators were reported more positively by staff this year. The 2010 findings for Newcastle were also benchmarked against data from 19 other Australian universities surveyed in 2009 or 2010.
"Our task now is to target the indicators where staff said improvements were needed, paying particular attention to areas where there is a gap between Newcastle's experience and that of the sector," Professor Saunders said.
"We will focus on improvements in the areas of: communication about organisational direction; our facilities; communication from the leadership team; co-operation across the University; and diversity, such as improved perception of equal opportunity for all staff."
"Looking across the sector, our pattern of findings is similar to that of other universities. Our staff feel positive about the same areas as their peers, and feel that improvements are needed on similar issues.
Working with staff, the University will develop action plans over the coming months to address areas for improvement.
Professor Saunders said promoting a positive staff experience was one of the University's seven priorities over the next five years.
"The University is fortunate to have such passionate and committed staff. They are the reason for our success. I thank them for their feedback through the survey and look forward to working with them over the coming months to make the University an even better place to work."
A summary of the 2010 Your Voice survey is available at http://www.newcastle.edu.au/yourvoice

BATMAN: BIRTH OF THE DEMON Review (No spoilers)
First thing I want to clear up is that this is a review of the trade DC very recently reprinted that features all three books of "The Demon Trilogy"; Son of the Demon, Bride of the Demon, and Birth of the Demon. Don't ask me why this collection is named after the third installment, but whatever.
First, I should talk about Son of The Demon. This is a "what if" type story (not really an Elseworlds, as it borrows so much from main canon) where Batman and Ra's Al Ghul become allies and friends, and Bruce marries Talia. It's really interesting to see where this path leads had Bruce actually taken it. The main strengths here are the characterizations and relationships between Batman, Ra's, and Talia, and the artwork that dare I say is PERFECT for 80's Batman. As soon as Batman appears for the first time in this story, I guarantee your jaw will drop. It's beautiful. Batman and Ra's have always been extremely interesting foes, but they make even more interesting friends as shown here, it feels great to see them get along and it feels completely natural. Two strong minds working together with a great deal of respect and understanding of one another. And Bruce being married is also awesome to see, his love with Talia changes him, and… I won't spoil the rest. But married-Batman is awesome-Batman. However, the main plot that brings about this alliance is a fairly typical political-tyrant type threat, but it's at least presented to us with good writing. But it's not so much about that as it is about these characters. And the explanations for certain choices Batman makes aren't spent much time developing, but you get the gist. He loves Talia. Son of the Demon is definitely one of the best Batman stories out there in my opinion, but its sequel on the other hand…
Bride of the Demon is a massive disappointment from start to finish and has no reason to exist beyond riding on the coat-tails of Son of the Demon's success. Nothing about what made its predecessor so great is here, and in fact, the only thing that ties it to Son of the Demon is the existence of Batman, Talia, Ra's, and one henchman we saw in the first book. Tons of characters appear here have zero bearing on the overall story and only serve to make you think "IS this canon? I sure hope not!", like Tim Drake for example. He's in here, but he's not Robin yet. Yeah, I know. But there's this scientist guy and his son (how the heck does this dude have brown hair and a white beard?!) who help serve the plot, but we have no reason to care about them. Zero. None. And Bruce and Talia have some sexual tension, but it goes nowhere and doesn't even make reference to how they were once married. Ra's' plan however, is beyond stupid. I'd explain it in detail, but this review is spoiler-free, so I'll just say this… "global warming" and "kidnap-marriage". The artwork is an obvious throwback to Neal Adams, and the pencils have potential, but the lazy inks and the awful colors just ruin it and make it a book an eyesore. I had a hard time even making it to the ending and it was hard to even acknowledge it as having any connection to the vastly superior Son of the Demon.
Birth of the Demon, however, definitely redeems the trilogy. It's written by Dennis O'Neil and has artwork by Norm Breyfogle, who are two of my all-time favorite Batman creators. First thing to bring up is the artwork. Norm Breyfogle's art is always great, but this is stunning, as it's not just inked and colored, it's painted and it looks aboslutely marvellous. Now the premise of this story is that Ra's is growing old, he needs a Lazarus Pit, but Batman keeps stopping his men from creating new pits and Ra's and Talia are deadset on reviving him with a final pit they manage to create, and this is essentially the final showdown between Batman and Ra's Al Ghul. But most of it is actually about Ra's' origin story, and it's very interesting and O'Neil's storytelling skills are at the top of their game here. It feels very much like a dramatized biblical tale, but, well… it's not, it's a really awesome fictional comic. The ending is brilliant and definitely the perfect "what if" ending to Batman and Ra's eternal conflict.
Overall, this is worth the buy, despite the fact the stories could easily be considered standalone stories rather than sequels in the same sense that Identity Crisis, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis are sometimes considered part of the same saga. That's the way I look at it, anyways. Also, at the back it says this book ties into Morrison's "Batman and Son", which is kinda true, but not really. The stories here take place in their own canon, but they're not completely seperated from main contnuity. But between Son of the Demon and Birth of the Demon, this is definitely something Batman fans owe themselves to look into. Just… don't even read Bride of the Demon if you do buy it. Trust me, you're better off ignoring it in every sense of the word.

- Relativistic heavy-ion collisions (1)
- Recent results from the NA49 experiment (2005)
- Recent results of the NA49 collaboration are presented. Transverse mass spectra as well as total multiplicities of identified particles are discussed. The study of their evolution from AGS over SPS to the highest RHIC energy reveals a couple of interesting features. These include a sudden change in the energy dependence of the mt-spectra and of the yields of strange hadrons around 30A GeV. Additionally, new results on particle production at high-pt for Pb+Pb collsions at 158A GeV, as well as on the v2 of L, are discussed.
- System size and centrality dependence of the balance function in A+A collisions at sqrt[sNN]=17.2 GeV (2005)
- Electric charge correlations were studied for p+p, C+C, Si+Si, and centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt[sNN]=17.2 GeV with the NA49 large acceptance detector at the CERN SPS. In particular, long-range pseudorapidity correlations of oppositely charged particles were measured using the balance function method. The width of the balance function decreases with increasing system size and centrality of the reactions. This decrease could be related to an increasing delay of hadronization in central Pb+Pb collisions.
- Xi(Omega) production in Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV c exp -1 (1997)
- Using the NA49 main TPC, the central production of hyperons has been measured in CERN SPS Pb - Pb collisions at 158 GeV c-1. The preliminary ratio, studied at 2.0 < y < 2.6 and 1 < pT < 3 GeV c-1, equals ~ (13 ± 4)% (systematic error only). It is compatible, within errors, with the previously obtained ratios for central S + S [1], S + W [2], and S + Au [3] collisions. The fit to the transverse momentum distribution resulted in an inverse slope parameter T of 297 MeV. At this level of statistics we do not see any noticeable enhancement of hyperon production with the increased volume (and, possibly, degree of equilibration) of the system from S + S to Pb + Pb. This result is unexpected and counterintuitive, and should be further investigated. If confirmed, it will have a significant impact on our understanding of mechanisms leading to the enhanced strangeness production in heavy-ion collisions.
- Phi production in 158-GEV/u Pb + Pb collisions (1997)
- Preliminary data on phi production in central Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon are presented, measured by the NA49 experiment in the hadronic decay channel phi - K+K-. At mid-rapidity, the kaons were separated from pions and protons by combining dE/dx and time-of-flight information; in the forward rapidity range only dE/dx identification was used to obtain the rapidity distribution and a rapidity-integrated mt-spectrum. The mid-rapidity yield obtained was dN/dy = 1.85 ± 0.3 per event; the total phi multiplicity was estimated to be 5.0 ± 0.7 per event. Comparison with published pp data shows a slight, but not very significant strangeness enhancement.
- Kaon-, Lambda- and Anti-Lambda-production in Pb + Pb-collisions at 158 GEV per nucleon (1997)
- Preliminary inclusive spectra for K+, K-, Ks0, Λ, and are presented which were measured in central Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon by the NA49 experiment. A comparison with data from lighter collision systems shows a strong change of the shape of the Λ rapidity distribution. The strangeness enhancement observed in S + S compared to p + p and p + A is not further increased in Pb + Pb.
- Lambda and Antilambda reconstruction in central Pb C Pb collisions using (1997)
- The large acceptance time projection chambers of the NA49 experiment are used to record the trajectory of charged particles from Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon. Neutral strange hadrons have been reconstructed from their charged decay products. To obtain distributions of Λ, and Ks0 in discrete bins of rapidity, y, and transverse momentum, pT, calculations have been performed to determine the acceptance of the detector and the efficiency of the reconstruction software as a function of both variables. The lifetime distributions obtained give values of cτ = 7.8 ± 0.6 cm for Λ and cτ = 2.5 ± 0.3 cm for Ks0, consistent with data book values.
- Event-by-event fluctuations of the kaon to pion ratio in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per Nucleon (2000)
- We present the first measurement of fluctuations from event to event in the production of strange particles in collisions of heavy nuclei. The ratio of charged kaons to charged pions is determined for individual central Pb+Pb collisions. After accounting for the fluctuations due to detector resolution and finite number statistics we derive an upper limit on genuine non-statistical fluctuations, perhaps related to a first or second order QCD phase transition. Such fluctuations are shown to be very small.
- Two-proton correlations from 158 AGeV Pb+Pb central collisions (1999)
- The two-proton correlation function at midrapidity from Pb+Pb central collisions at 158 AGeV has been measured by the NA49 experiment. The results are compared to model predictions from static thermal Gaussian proton source distributions and transport models RQMD and VENUS. An effective proton source size is determined by minimizing CHI-square/ndf between the correlation functions of the data and those calculated for the Gaussian sources, yielding 3.85 +-0.15(stat.) +0.60-0.25(syst.) fm. Both the RQMD and the VENUS model are consistent with the data within the error in the correlation peak region.
- Event-by-event fluctuations of average transverse momentum in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon (1999)
- We present first data on event-by-event fluctuations in the average transverse momentum of charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. This measurement provides previously unavailable information allowing sensitive tests of microscopic and thermodynamic collision models and to search for fluctuations expected to occur in the vicinity of the predicted QCD phase transition. We find that the observed variance of the event-by-event average transverse momentum is consistent with independent particle production modified by the known two-particle correlations due to quantum statistics and final state interactions and folded with the resolution of the NA49 apparatus. For two specific models of non-statistical fluctuations in transverse momentum limits are derived in terms of fluctuation amplitude. We show that a significant part of the parameter space for a model of isospin fluctuations predicted as a consequence of chiral symmetry restoration in a non-equilibrium scenario is excluded by our measurement.

Novelist Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was born with a silver spoon in
her mouth and, in her writings, etched that spoon with her acid-sharp observations of the
privileged society which was her birthright. The Age of Innocence earned her a Pulitzer Prize and
was made into a widely admired film by Martin Scorsese. Ethan Frome looked not at Society, but at the
hardscrabble life of a New England farmer; it reflects, nonetheless, Wharton's interest in
affairs of the heart and complex issues of morality. (The unfortunately underrated film by John Madden is profoundly moving.)
The House of Mirth, in familiar Wharton territory again, is
the story of Lily Bart (Gillian Anderson), a beautiful and desirable woman with an income
inadequate to sustain her in the gilded circles into which she was born. In this society,
whose rigid hierarchical structure is under some challenge from rapid economic change, a
woman's role was to marry with little or no alternative. Lily loves--and is loved
by--Lawrence Selden (Eric Stoltz), but Selden is an attorney without great fortune and not
deemed a suitable match. When suitable matches are in the offing, Lily turns away
because they are dull and uninteresting. As she fails to make the right connection, she
becomes the target of social climbers, sexual predators, and viciously fickle society
friends, all the while running herself into debt due to a weakness for gambling. There is
a long downward arc to the story as Lily's destiny grows ever bleaker, countered,
interestingly, by her growing understanding and her strengthening moral fiber. She is a
figure of genuinely tragic stature.
Director Terence Davies, best known for two poetic memory trips into
his Liverpool childhood,

The White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society has been left struggling to remain open for the holiday season after the bottom floor of its building was flooded with water six inches deep.
The society, hosted out of a split-level home in White Rock, was flooded following a sump failure on the weekend of Dec. 2, said executive director and past mayor of White Rock, Catherine Ferguson.
"We came in on the Monday morning to find our downstairs area flooded. It's where we do a lot of our group work and where our clinical counselling goes on," said Ferguson.
According to Ferguson, the damage is estimated at $20,000, with only some of that cost being covered by insurance.
"Some of it we will have to take care of," she said. "We'll probably be looking at an increased deductible."
The damage includes desks that were sitting in water, drywall and carpet that had to be ripped up as well as massage tables used for patient relaxation.
While the site is repaired, Crescent Gardens and the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce have allowed the hospice society to use some of their space in order to remain open during the holidays, often an important time for hospices.
"For people that are grieving and in need, we want to make sure we're able to still help them, especially during the Christmas season," said Ferguson, adding that she's grateful for the community support they've received. "We're just doing the best we can to make do."
Ferguson said the flooding is just another reminder that the hospice society needs to relocate sooner rather than later.
"This is the second time in as many years that we've had a flood downstairs. It's an old building that needs attention," she said. "The reality is that we need a new supportive care centre; we have for quite some time for space reasons."
On top of the cost of the flooding, Ferguson said that the building's roof is likely to need repair sometime soon, the cost of which is estimated to be around the $15,000 mark.
"We're in a split-level house," she said. "We need to continue to meet the needs of our community. We have an aging community and there's lots of need for a hospice here and demands are continuing to grow."
As those demands grow, the hospice's only option is to move into bigger and better facilities.
"That's something we will need the support of the community to put together," said Ferguson. "That is the priority for the society." firstname.lastname@example.com
