Apple moves to unify its OS and interface
Two recent reports indicate developments in Apple's efforts to transform itself from a second-tier computer company into a top-level consumer-electronics powerhouse. First, a story published today by AppleInsider reports that Apple "has filed for a trademark for its OS X operating system but without the 'Mac' prefix that has …
I approve
Slimming down the bloat that is a modern desktop OS is long overdue (MacOS, especially MS-Windows, and these days even desktop Linux* are horrid resource hogs). Using the same OS base for mobile devices has to be a good trend, I feel (hope).
*I really really need to look into Gentoo to see just how much UI and backend cruft really can be turned off with their portage system.
OS X86 for me please
Is this going to be the same unified UI that they told us was coming with Leopard ?
I honestly don't think OS X for PC is that far away, especially if SJ is forced to retire from Apple.
Much of Apple's recent computer success has more to do with Vista's problems and a fast well designed replacement in Windows 7 may start to turn the tide again against Apple.
If sales of Macs start to flag what CEO in their right mind would turn down the chance to sell millions of copies of it's OS to the masses and help ensure iTunes/iPod/iPhone domination for years to come. I'm sure M$ is shaking in their boots at the thought !
I have ran OS X86 on several PCs and it's a surprisingly smooth experience very little work would need to be done on Apple's end especially since Macs are basically PCs with Intel's EFI added.
Wouldn't the market be a nicer place with more competition ?
Yet more evidence that Apple (and IMHO MS) does not produce better tech under the hood with new releases. It just polishes the shiny eye candy.
Frosty Feline!
What's next, Ubuntu X?
Snow Leopard is not iPhone
While Snow Leopard will be tighter for the desktop OS, it is folly to assume it will also lead to a tighter OS on the iPhone. They have already cut all of the legacy cruft (PPC code and Carbon) for the iPhone, as well as all the stuff you're not going to use. So yes, desktop Macs will see a significant improvement in terms of size and speed, but Mobile OSX will be unaffected.
X86 eye candy
@David Simpson:
You need to remember that Apple sees itself as a HARDWARE company. They develop software to give their hardware platform an advantage. They don't care if you run OS X or Windows (witness Boot Camp) as long as it's on Apple hardware. It makes no sense for them to offer OS X for other x86 PCs (quite apart from all the support nightmares that would entail).
You misunderstand the point. The whole point of Snow Leopard is a radical re-engineering and code tidy up under the hood with very few new user-visible features. That's quite a difficult concept to get over to consumers so a bit of eye candy is undoubtedly helpful to distinguish it from the previous version. That doesn't lessen the under the hood changes though.
no, you've got it all wrong
marble is just the codename - there has been ZERO indication of any graphical changes in the test releases of the OS so far - they've concentrated 100% on getting the "better tech under the hood", as you put it, right before bothering with the eye candy. that's why we're only finding out about it now, so soon to it's release
of course, with MS, i'd say you're bang on the button - but then, i haven't tried vista nor w7 - i'm just a biased fanboi
Says who?
"Is this going to be the same unified UI that they told us was coming with Leopard ?"
"They" never said that, assuming you mean "Apple"; it was a bunch of rumormongers who did. You can expect rumors to be frequently wrong. But no, OS X for PC is just as far away as it ever was, if not even farther due to the ever-increasing amount of devices Apple makes that run it. They would have to be completely moronic to even consider undercutting their own business. If you want more competition on generic x886 boxes, there's always Linux.
its about time apple got rid of its horrid hansel and gretel house looking aqua theme and replaced it with something more professional much as its previous platinum theme looked.
im guessing the end for PPC macs then :( (not that im a fan of real ancient hardware, but my 1.67ghz powerbook has plenty of grunt... )
although a code tidyup would make older hardware more efficent :) which is always a good thing! I cant rember when the system requirements for an OS actully went down with a new release!!
I would like to see their OS on generic boxes just for the potential "wheres your just works now fuckhead?" comments that I could use against a couple of mactards I know ;)
I liked Aqua, it was so lickable
UI-wise, I fervently hope that things don't go Pro Apps-like: these are rather terrible things: I work with them daily, and the last time they rethought them (Logic Pro) they seemed like a bad (really bad) imitation of Adobe After Effects' (which is reallly neat in its flexibility).
But, anyway: I liked Aqua. I liked having some sense of fun, even if it was quite disorganized. Nowadays Apple is all about sleek and sobriety and zen and... something has been lost, a certain sense of fun.
Plus, anyway, the problem is not in the widgets but the functionality, simple things like not having an unified windows and panes resizing widgets, rollover effects, grabbing area, etc.; unified keyboard shortcuts for progress palettes in apps; Spotlight field defaults; etc. It is a mess. Plus some ineffectual eyecandy that needs rethinking to live up to its potential.
Bring it on!
I can't wait to get my hands on Snow Leopard. An even faster Mac. Fantastic!
quicktime..oh dear
a long time aple fan here but quicktime is a shambles...apple, pleeease make it run better, please let it handle avi files, please get rid of quicktime tv. in fact just buy vlc player and use that instead.
I approve, except...
AFAIK Snow Leopard will only run on Intel Macs, not ageing PPC machines like mine.
Anyone want to buy a kidney?
@LaeMi Qian
Try Source Mage GNU/Linux as well...
just to clarify.. you don't actually have to buy VLC, it's opensource and free (as in beer), at least for personal use.
for those that scoff at anything that is 'opensource' as something that is incomplete and only plays 1 or 2 format made by the same person that wrote the program, in this case, you would be wrong.
Its a beautiful program, has a sleek incredibly easy to use interface, plays dvd disks, plays network streams, plays every video (and music) format that I have ever been able to throw at it (including 3gp and mkv) and doesn't require any codecs to do so... they're built in.
(and of course it supports SRT subtitle files, m3u playlists, cue files, etc ;o)
it is in one word; beautiful.
Oh, and it comes on Win32, Linux & OS-X (plus a few others).
If you are not running VLC then you should probably type it into google, download it, and fall in love :o)
It is basically everything that quicktime isn't :o)
@David Simpson
"I have ran OS X86 on several PCs and it's a surprisingly smooth experience very little work would need to be done on Apple's end especially since Macs are basically PCs with Intel's EFI added."
Porting OSX to the PC officially would actually (as I understand it) require a fairly major rewrite of the code. For one simple reason: OSX doesn't have proper support for user installable drivers.
By this, I mean that with Windows, you can (theoretically) replace the driver for any part of the system simply and relatively easily. With OSX, you can't. OSX as it is supports the limited range of hardware Apple use fairly well. The trouble is it only supports hardware that Apple use in the Mac, or varients thereof. With a PC, there are thousands of combinations of hardware possible (a friend who worked for a major software company that is now part of Disney told me that they found over 40,000 possible combinations of PC hardware).
Yes, OSX can be hacked to run on Generic hardware, but even the people who have done that have had to impose strict limits on what hardware it runs on. Selling the OS to the public would require that Apple rewrite the OS to support a *lot* more hardware, or rewrite it to support user-installable drivers. Both major tasks that would probably hurt profits.
So, in short, I don't think you'll ever see a legit version of OSX on PCs.
@Stuart Castle
"OSX doesn't have proper support for user installable drivers"
Not true at all. OS X drivers (or kernel extensions, kext for short) are much like Linux kernel modules. Anyone with the programming skill can write one, just as they could do for FreeBSD.
Hardware vendors and others *do* write third party drivers for OS X. Take a look here, for example:
Of course there's no where near the number of drivers for OS X as there are for Windows but that's mostly because hardware vendors don't bother writing Mac drivers because of Apple's small market share.
All those forced upgrades
"Snow Leopard will only run on Intel Macs, not ageing PPC machines like mine" - Someone has to pay for Jobbie's medical bill.
"You misunderstand the point. The whole point of Snow Leopard is a radical re-engineering and code tidy up under the hood with very few new user-visible features. That's quite a difficult concept to get over to consumers so a bit of eye candy is undoubtedly helpful to distinguish it from the previous version. That doesn't lessen the under the hood changes though."
MS do it, (with windows 7) and its a big deal and everyone hates em. Apple do it and its fine :P
Also wern't MS done for intergrating there system too much and bundling apps byt he compeition commision, which is what apple have been doing for a long time ?
I like Apple OSX don't get me wrong, but would be nice to see things applied to one system applied to another!
@Jai & Rolf
I stand corrected. Code cleanup and streamlining is a fine idea.
"I liked Aqua, it was so lickable"
Not to mention that iPhones kinda look like candy bars.
@Anonymous Coward 15:37
MS do it, (with windows 7) and its a big deal and everyone hates em. Apple do it and its fine :P
Yes but Apple never released a turd of an OS and then tried to give it a good polish, did they
>Yet more evidence that Apple (and IMHO MS) does not produce better tech under the >hood with new releases. It just polishes the shiny eye candy.
So optimising the OS for speed and size, adding new APIs like GrandCentral (multicore API) and the new graphics libraries OpenCL is just a GUI tweak?
I don't see that Microsoft made multicore programming any easier in Vista.
@hum. AC
MS weren't done for bundling apps along with the OS, nor were they were done for bundling apps *into* the OS. They were done for bundling apps into the OS in such a way that meant their competition was at a massive disadvantage, so MS's monopoly was extended and solidified.
Apple bundle apps *with* the OS, but you can replace every single one of them with something else if you want to and your OS is not broken because of it. In other words, Apple do not have a monopoly on what you use on your computer the same way that MS did (and still do to this day to an extent).
Quote: "MS do it, (with windows 7) and its a big deal and everyone hates em. Apple do it and its fine :P"
That's because OS X as it is now is largely fine - some annoying bugs and UI issues, but otherwise very good, so it is polishing brass to make it shine. Everyone hates MS for doing it because they ended up with a dog turd in Vista and Windows 7 is going to be a paid upgrade to varnish that turd.
Fwiw, Apple did go through the same process as MS are now experiencing with Vista, only it happened with OS X from version 10.0 to 10.2. However, they did it a much less painful way than MS did by keeping systems dual-booting (and also partly because OS 9 was seriously outdated by the time 10.2 came along and, even though 10.2 wasn't the best to use, it was still leaps and bounds better than the previous generation and XP).
Snowballs in Hell
You won't see Mac OS X running on generic machines officially anytime soon - like never! Apple makes its money from the HARDWARE (and before you whine "it's expensive" just check out any PC with the same build quality). Therefore to license the OS like Microsoft (a SOFTWARE company that does not make PC's) did with MS-DOS/Windows and lose the margins they make on the HARDWARE would be utterly, utterly crazy. It ain't gonna happen!
With Snow Leopard Apple is seriously re-writing the main part of the software to run faster and more efficiently on the hardware platforms it's been selling for three years now, and that should be criticised why?. Apple has had both the guts and the skill to transition the Mac three times, with the 68000 to PPC change in the early 90's, the major hand-over from OS9 to OS X in the early noughties through to the Intel chip introduction in 2006. Each time they have done it relatively smoothly, so that users have been able to plan things properly. Windows users (and Microsoft) can only look on in total envy at this situation.
Okay, I'll acknowledge that a smaller user base with a controlled list of hardware specifications makes that dramatically easier than the job Microsoft has had to do with the hardware variations it has to deal with, but who put Microsoft in that position – Answer = Microsoft. If they had controlled the OS software specification and license so that hardware was designed to work with the drivers supplied or specified by MS, rather than the total cluster-fuck of letting Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all write whatever they wanted to, a very large amount of time, and Gazillions of green could have been saved over the years. Large salty tears appear when you think how much that money could have done for much more deserving causes in this world.
As I'm on, the computer security industry is almost completely the bastard love-child of Microsoft. If MS (a slowly advancing, disabilitating disease in other words) had taken security seriously from the word go, especially with sorting out the brain-dead ability of Macros being able to control the eMail client, then the whole generation of early virus-writers would have had a much harder time writing and spreading their variations. Move on a couple of computer generations and those bored teenagers in attics have morphed into the highly sophisticated criminals that constitute a far bigger threat to us individually than Ozzie Bin Laden or even fascist Labour governments can pretend to.
Microsoft has held back real advances over the years with their virtual monopoly. Okay, having three or four major OS's with equal shares fighting it out for the last twenty-five years may not have been pretty at times, but I'll bet you anything we'd be in a better situation than now if we'd gone that route.

Paul Davies: To play the new boys or to not play the new boys – that is the big question for Sir Alex. The defence picks itself due to injury, Cleverley and Paul Scholes will combine energy with experience but it's up front that the boss has to start dealing with the (wonderful) headache van Persie's arrival has created. I suspect he'll go for star of pre-season, Kagawa, over the Dutchman – although the latter will undoubtedly step off a strong bench. United: De Gea; Rafael, Carrick, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Cleverley, Scholes, Nani; Rooney, Kagawa.
Steve Bartram: Rio's rumoured injury has thrown a spanner in the works, so the question is whether or not Jonny Evans is fit enough to start tonight. If not, then Carrick will have to drop to central defence, giving Cleverley the chance to partner Scholes in a midfield two. I'd then expect Kagawa to play off Rooney. If, however, Evans starts then Carrick will shunt up with Scholes, Cleverley will push forward, leaving a choice between Kagawa and Nani for the wide-left berth. I expect the selection to be driven by fitness, and the vast majority of this starting XI have had plenty of pre-season minutes with United or at the Olympics. United: De Gea; Rafael, Vidic, Carrick, Evra; Cleverley, Scholes; Valencia, Kagawa, Nani; Rooney.

"The early bird catches the worm … but has to use a lot of concealer!!".
Someone wrote that in an email to me this week (a crazy-early one, obviously) and I HAD to share!
And it got me thinking … it's time for a concealer post, since – as beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis pointed out in our beauty interview with her earlier this week – it's not like we don't get spots post-the teen years (far from it!).
So, here's my all-time favourite, Estée Lauder's Disappear (£17) …
Just the right consistency to make dabbing on and blending a cinch (truly), AMAZING coverage (as in, it literally does make things that have gone bump overnight vanish) and long-lasting. I don't bother with powder on top.
Nonstopmama beauty tip
Always apply concealer after your base. Lightly press it onto the skin with your fingertip (no rubbing) and softly blend to 'blur' the edges. Or use a concealer brush.
Make-up artists have told me that they use this product on photo shoots to conceal scars, birth marks and more on models' skin.
As ever, the proof is in the testing, so give it a try next time you're scooting past an Estée Lauder counter!

Skoda Citigo Elegance GreenTech
Three-Door review
by David Finlay (13 July 2012)
Regular readers will already be well aware of this, but first-timers may not know that Skoda's new city car is - by extension if not in actual fact - the 2012 World Car of the Year. Although the WCotY jury actually gave this honour to the Volkswagen up!, both the Citigo and the SEAT Mii are to all intents and purposes the same thing, with only the badges, a few styling changes and some detail differences in specification to separate them.
Every one of these adventurously-named machines is of a quality which would not have been expected of anything in their class just a few years ago, and they all have much more luggage capacity than their size and shape would suggest. They also share the same one-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which makes the car wobble slightly at rest but is very smooth once it's up and running, and is offered in 59bhp and 74bhp forms.
Other people have other views on this, but for me the 59bhp version is perfectly adequate for the job. The Citigo tested here, however, uses the 74bhp one, and Skoda - like Volkswagen but unlike SEAT - has used this as the basis of one of its low-CO2 specials to which it gives the name GreenTech.
The 59bhp GreenTech, available only in the mid-range SE trim level, has better "green" figures than the more powerful and better-equipped Elegance GreenTech under consideration here, but there's not much in it. The greater straightline performance of the Elegance is matched by only a modest drop in combined fuel economy from 68.9mpg to 67.3mpg, while the rise in official CO2 emissions from 96g/km to 98g/km is equally trivial.
The higher CO2 figure still keeps the Elegance in the zone where it's exempt from both Vehicle Excise Duty (a trifling matter, since less economical Citigos are taxed at only £20 per year) and the London congestion charge (much more important, but only if your lifestyle is such that you would normally have to pay it).
As for the fuel economy, the official statistic is unlikely to be matched - even with the help of the GreenTech's stop/start system - if you spend all your time driving in urban areas, which at first sight would seem to be home territory for the Citigo.
But this is not a single-use car. Before settling down to write this review, I was chatting with a colleague who said he would be quite prepared to embark on a long journey in it, and having recently driven nearly 900 miles in less than a day in an up! with no more than the expected ill effects I can confirm that that car is surprisingly relaxing in those conditions, and there is no reason to think that either the Citigo or the Mii would be any different.
I strongly feel that the very best models in the Volkswagen Group's titchy triumvirate are the most basic, and in that context it's worth noting that the cheapest Citigo, at £7630, undercuts the equivalent Mii by over £200 and the entry-level up! by not far short of £400.
That, however, is a side issue in any discussion of the Elegance GreenTech, since it costs £9860, and is therefore slightly more expensive than rock-bottom examples of the Ford Fiesta, the Vauxhall Corsa and even Skoda's own Fabia.
Still, it's quite well-equipped. Like all other Citigo Elegances, this one comes as standard with 14" alloy wheels (lesser models run on steels), heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, heated front seats, a leather-rimmed steering wheel and the PID, or Portable Information Device, which is the same Navigon system available in the SEAT and Volkswagen ranges and combines Bluetooth connectivity, a media player, a trip computer and a satellite navigation system.
The last of these has come under a lot of criticism, not least from our own Tom Stewart - a man of strong views, forthrightly expressed - who felt moved to describe it in his launch report of the Citigo as "crap and in urgent need of further development". But when it works, it works well, and at least it's better than no satnav at all.
The test car was also fitted with the Entertainment Pack - simply four additional speakers and a holder for your multimedia device - and the Safety Pack which consists of an "off" switch for the passenger airbag and the City Safe system which applies the brakes at speeds of up to 18mph if it senses that a collision is likely and the driver isn't doing anything to avoid it.
These goodies took the price to £10,140, and you can go further. The other optional extras available for the Elegance are a Convenience Pack (cruise control and rear parking sensors), a Summer Pack (panoramic sunroof and tinted glass), the tinted glass on its own, an ashtray, metallic paint, a spare wheel (compulsory standard fitment on all cars once I'm in charge) and, for customers who reckon they will be all but living in their Citigo, extensions of the warranty to four years/80,000 miles or five years/100,000 miles.
I think the problem is the
I think the problem is the length of the car's development period. Probably when deciding to include a particular sat-nav it was state-of-the-art, but is well behind the pack when the car is launched. Ford, for example, have a better alternative - they have an option to supply a standard wired mount for a Garmin sat-nav, and you can purchase your own to suit. Overall much cheaper and up-to-date technology. Also map updates are cheaper than car manufacturers
I'm used to a large,
I'm used to a large, centrally mounted sensible d i g i t a l speedo. I'm awaiting delivery (Nov) of an Elegance 75 ps Citigo: where can I buy, and have installed for me, a reliable/reputable digital speedo instead of the diminitive analogue that comes as standard in the Skoda? (Also, how stupid and annoying that, for the UK market, it's calibrated at 0/20/40/60/80 instead of 0/10/30/50/70???!!! Grrrrrrrrr!)
I've looked via Goggle for a digital speedo but 'suceeded' only in being confused...

Hello everyone,
Our last bulletin was sent just before the Iraqi war began. In that email, we wished that when peace came, and the poor Iraqi people would get a better deal in the new regime. Well it looks like the things are still not peaceful in Iraq, so lets hope the USA and Iraqi people do the right this time.
We have finally released phpLens 3.0. Key highlights include:
- new WYSIWYG editor for fields containing HTML
- support for javascript popup overlays in the grid
- google style scrolling links
Where do we see phpLens moving in the future? Well we have so many feature requests that it is hard to prioritize.
Here are some features we will implement in 3.1:
The most common question we are having now is how to retrieve the primary key of the current record created or selected and store it in a PHP variable. We will allow you to do this very easily in 3.1 (no more hacking spNew/spEdit).
Another problem that customers face is scalable lookups. Suppose your lookup requires you to retrieve 100,000 records - not practical. We plan to implement a new form of lookup, where the user is able to search for the correct item from the NEW/EDIT record form.
For example, if you have a complaints record you are creating, you need to search for the customer id and store it in the complaint record. Enter the customer name in the search field, and it will store the customer id into the complaint EDIT/NEW record form for you...

Favorite Cal Poly Pomona Experience : I have to say that my favorite Cal Poly experience was my very first fall quarter. Joining all sorts of clubs and meeting new people in the process in a new academic environment was a thrill.
On being an Ag Ambassador : As an Ag Ambassador I hope to be an influential role model to prospective students of Cal Poly Pomona's College of Agriculture. I want to help others reach their academic goals by providing them the proper guidance/information and by showing them that a higher education is not out of reach. I hope to share with them the great opportunities Cal Poly has to offer and why we are proud to call ourselves Broncos!

College goes by quicker than you think, so anytime I get to enjoy doing something fun is time well spent to me.
On being an Ag Ambassador : I'm excited about starting this new chapter in my college career as an Ag Ambassador. I want to make a difference with the incoming freshmen as they start school in a new environment. I want to show them there is more to the College of Ag than what everyone may think. The stereotypic view of agriculture is strictly tractors and farming but in reality, agriculture is a much more diverse field. It's filled with amazing people that are happy and love what they do. Plus there's never a dull moment and that's why I love it here.
Major : Food Science and Technology, Minoring in Culinology
Year in School : Fifth
Age : 21
College Activities : Food Science Society, the National Society of Leadership & Success, and Ag Ambassadors.
Hobbies : Reading, drawing, soccer, watching animated movies, going to theme parks, traveling, spending time with family and friends, cooking, catnaps, spontaneous adventures, hiking, going to museums/art galleries, long walks, karaoke, bowling, going to the beach, and listening to all sorts of music.

Work : Full-time student
Career Plans : To graduate with my BS in FST and minor in Culinology. Hopefully after graduation I can travel to Colombia to do an internship as well as go to school to learn Spanish. Once back in the states I plan to work in product development for the food industry but I'm also open to other positions such as QA, sensory, and management. Eventually I'd like to go to culinary school to get a Certified Chefs Diploma and if I can travel while working then I'll be the happiest person alive! Also, I've always wanted to try out interior design (completely different from food science but another one of my passions).
Favorite Cal Poly Pomona Experience : My favorite CPP experience would probably be living in the dorms my freshman year. Living on campus was the best way to meet new people and create your first lasting college friendships. It gave me more freedom as a young adult as well as more responsibility. I learned a lot about what it means to be all grown up and had a ton of fun at the same time.
On being an Ag Ambassador : As an Ag Ambassador I hope to make a positive lasting impression on the many people that I will meet. I also want to become a good role model to the prospective students that I will be interacting with.

Career Plans : My goal is to graduate from Cal Poly in four years and to become a licensed veterinarian. Hopefully I can open up my own small private clinic.
Favorite Cal Poly Pomona Experience : My favorite experiences here at Cal Poly Pomona were all the AVS classes that I got to take. I learned so much from these classes and the labs that go with them. I have gained so many experiences that I will utilize in my future career. We actually get to work with live animals on campus! These labs really showcase Cal Poly Pomona's 'polytechnic' approach.
On being an Ag Ambassador : I hope as an AG Ambassador I get to show prospective students all that our College of Agriculture has to offer. I want to share some experiences that I had in my first year here. Through that, I hope I can encourage these students to pick a career path that best suits them.

Career Plans : My goal is to graduate from Vet School and open up a small private animal clinic in my hometown as well as research and promote education.

The excitement and the anxious moment where we all first realized that this is the beginning of the rest of our lives was more than I could ever ask for here.
On being an Ag Ambassador : Coming into my second year as an Ag Ambassador, I have been able to see how much this organization has to offer!

Favorite Cal Poly Pomona Experience : My favorite experience at Cal Poly would have to be my freshman year during Welcome Week. We played games and explored the entire campus. I loved meeting so many different people and getting acquainted with my new school.
On being an Ag Ambassador : I look forward to helping new incomers feel comfortable and confident in navigating around our lovely campus. I can't wait to inspire and encourage potential in all the new students that I meet. It's going to be an awesome year!

Hometown : Escondido, CA
Transfered from : Palomar College
Work : Full-time student and student assistant at the sheep unit on campus
Career Plans : I would like to teach high school agriculture.
Favorite Cal Poly Pomona Experience : My favorite Cal Poly Pomona experience was taking the AGS 250 course. This class is in charge of facilitating the competitions during the Pomona FFA Field Day. During this course you learn how to run your competition and at the end of the quarter the class holds the actual field day. It was a great learning experience and a lot of fun!
On being an Ag Ambassador : My hope as an Ag Ambassador is to help future student see all the opportunities Cal Poly Pomona and the College of Agriculture have to offer. Regardless of your major, there are limitless opportunities and new experiences to take advantage of.

Eight professors from the Stanford University School of Engineering are among the newly elected National Academy of Engineering (NAE) members, the NAE said today.
According to the NAE, membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature," and to the "pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
There are just 2,250 U.S. members of NAE and 211 foreign associates. The eight newly elected members bring Stanford Engineering's NAE membership to more than 80.
"Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions any engineer can receive and the Stanford School of Engineering is tremendously proud of these much-deserving recipients from our faculty," said Jim Plummer, Dean of the Stanford School of Engineering.
The eight Stanford faculty elected in 2013 are:

Zimmerman says he has at least $2 million in debt
Updated On: Nov 20 2013 11:13:50 AM EST
George Zimmerman says in a court affidavit that he has liabilities and debts of at least $2 million.
Zimmerman filed the affidavit for indigency Tuesday so that he could hire public defenders. The application says he has less than $150 in cash on hand and doesn't have an income.
Zimmerman was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his girlfriend told deputies that he had pointed a shotgun at him, pushed her out of the house they shared and smashed a coffee table.
He was released from jail Tuesday afternoon, just hours after a judge set bail of $9,000.
Zimmerman was acquitted earlier this year of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

|Labour Markets in an Enlarged European Union: What would raise Employment?
|Frankfurt am Main, Germany
|Research on European labour markets is of particular interest for the ECB as their functioning affects the economic environment in which the ECB's monetary policy of maintaining price stability is conducted. In this regard, labour markets have a particular role to play for the euro area's ability to adjust flexibly to changes in economic circumstances. The enlargement of the EU has changed the framework conditions for an efficient factor allocation in Europe and has created new opportunities as well as challenges for labour market adjustment and employment creation, which require a thorough analysis. The workshop organisers are particularly interested in papers addressing at least one of the following labour market themes: 1. Challenges for labour markets in the new EU Member States. 2. Challenges of enlargement for labour markets in the old EU Member States. 3. What would raise employment in the enlarged EU?

The Name Game
Want a bridge or freeway named after you? Here's the skinny. By Greg Lucas, Sacramento News & Review, February 20, 2014 Bummer for James "Sunny Jim" Rolph. The charismatic mayor of San Francisco from 1912 to 1931, who died in office broke as California's 27th governor, got his bridge taken away again. Just the other day, Sunny Jim's bridge—at least the western half of it—got renamed for another flamboyant San Francisco mayor: Willie Lewis Brown Jr. At a ceremony Brown hosted on Treasure Island, he was asked if the Rolph family had called. Brown curtly replied, "No." Apparently, jokes about the lineage of […]

The Challenges and Opportunities of Demographic Change
By Gov. Jerry Brown In past decades, baby boomers have posed multiple challenges to the state beginning with building classrooms and training enough teachers, to developing a higher education system that would accommodate the infusion of young adults, to growing the economy fast enough so they could find employment. Even now, baby boomers continue to reshape society as they begin to leave the labor force. In the next 15 years, well over 1,000 Californians will turn 65 each day. California's future generations will face a new set of challenges. While California's baby boomers were considered culturally diverse and highly skilled […]

A Great Day for Nothing
Very Little is Happening at the Capitol — A Perfect Time for Big-Picture Thinking By Greg Lucas, Sacramento News & Review, November 14, 2013 – Compared to the root-hog, bloodlust craziness of the death throes of the legislative session, the White Sepulcher is currently living up to its name. It's quiet. (Here would be a good place to snidely add that it can never be too quiet, since every day the governor and the Legislature do nothing is a great day for California.) Except, even though that sentiment has been expressed in this space more than once, the truth is that sometimes […]

Congress and the Feds Can Learn a Lot from California's Debt Management
On debt, California's responsibility—and The Skipper's sage advice By Greg Lucas Sacramento News & Review, October 17 – A growing body of 21st-century philsophical thought recognizes that the 98 episodes of Gilligan's Island ask and answer all the Big Questions. So, amid this recent flurry of mouth-frothing and hand-wringing over debt, it should be no surprise The Skipper and Mary Ann slice straight to the bottom line. "Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Do not forget: Stay out of debt!" sings The Skipper's Polonius to Mary Ann's gender-bending Laertes in the castaways' musical version of Hamlet. What more need be said? Bill Shakespeare's lines, […]

Never Judge the Chickenshitedness of a Bill by Its Advisory Committee
By Greg Lucas Sacramento News-Review, September 5, 2013 — With few exceptions, things in the Legislature are at least as chickenshit as they appear. Usually more. No matter how petty the motivation for some legislative act seems, the real cause is pettier. A "no" vote is less likely to be sparked by some lofty ideological schism than the author of the bill neglecting to compliment the other legislator on their latest dye job. Too many bills sound swell but don't do anything. Like one this year that encourages school districts to buy California produce. There are plenty more equally impotent […]

You're Not Funny
On Capitol Hazing Rituals and Legislative Grab-Ass By Greg Lucas (Editor's Note: Steve Maviglio, press secretary to Assembly Speaker John Perez offered the following comment when this column initially ran: " You should stop by the Assembly chambers sometime. Media hasn't been banned and never was. We simply asked that interviews be conducted in a corner instead of just anywhere. Neither the press seats nor the press bay for cameras has been moved. And the Speaker never began arming the Assembly [Sergeants-at-Arms] either. That started with [former Assembly Speaker Bob] Hertzberg's detail, according to [Assembly Chief Sergeant-at-Arms Ron] Pane. Hope […]

The Political Arena Is No Place for Heroes
Politicians may be skilled at consensus building and the art of compromise, but don't expect them to grow taller than the hedge By Greg Lucas San Francisco Chronicle August 1, 1999 Sacramento – Where have all the heroes gone? (Long time passing) Where have all the heroes gone? (Long time ago) A hero is defined as: 1. A man distinguished for exceptional courage, fortitude or bold enterprise. 2. One idealized for superior qualities or deeds of any kind. 3. In classical mythology and legend, a man of great nobility or physical prowess, often the son of a god and a mortal. 4.

On the FBI at the Capitol and Legislators Fundraising
The FBI's rubber-gloving of the Capitol prompts a look at campaign contributions By Greg Lucas Sacramento News & Review, June 27, 2013 – The line between felony and fundraising is explicit. Yet California legislative history over the past quarter century shows 14 Democratic and Republican legislators, lobbyists and others convicted in a federal-corruption investigation that came to light in 1988 for soliciting campaign contributions outside the lines. That's one reason why the presence of Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in the Capitol sharply shifts the building's ebb and flow. Things slow down a bit. Actions are examined more judiciously. Soul-searching […]

Act Now to Revitalize School Funding
By Linda Galliher and Ted Lempert California's students deserve a public school system that will provide them the tools they need to develop a solid foundation of academic achievement. The Legislature can start us on a path toward this goal by passing Gov. Jerry Brown's Local Control Funding Formula. Under the formula, the existing complex and outdated bureaucratic structure would be replaced with a new local system that gives schools the flexibility to direct education dollars to school districts and students that need it most. No district would lose funding. This change simply would help level the playing field and […]

Chaotic, Last-Minute Bill Passing Bad for Californians
Why lawmakers are afraid to go where no lawmaker has gone before By Greg Lucas Sacramento News & Review, May 30, 2013 – Don't disturb lawmakers right now, they're deep in the plak-tau. Plak-tau is the Vulcan "blood fever" manifested during the final stages of pon farr, the once-every-seven-years Vulcan mating obsession, which is pretty crazed by itself. For members of the ever-so-terrestrial California Senate and Assembly, their plak-tau is neither about mating, nor is it "irrational and instinct-driven behavior," as one Vulcan-to-English dictionary describes it, restricted to seven-year intervals. Legislative plak-tau is an uncontrollable obsession centered on rapidly, and […]

Considering he's spent quite a bit of time bringing monsters to life, Dave Mendel is shockingly nice.
As the holidays arrive and the year comes to a close, we thought we'd take a look back at 2013 and commemorate some of the moments that really stood out in the world of DC Entertainment in a two-week DCComics.com series we're calling "Ten Moments that Mattered." Some of these moments were happy. Some were sad. They played out in the pages of our comics, on the big and small screen and in the halls of our office. However, all of them made a profound difference in the world of DC Comics and in the hearts and minds of our fans.
In this week's episode of "DC All Access," Tiffany spoke with FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics writer Simon Oliver and series editor Mark Doyle about the science-heavy comic. Well, we were curious about where the science ended and the fiction began in the world of FBP, so we asked Oliver to clear a few things up for us.
Unless you've managed to tap into the Speed Force, the only way to get caught up with Arrow's new Flash is with this week's "DC All Access"! In today's all-new episode, Blair and Tiffany sit down with Grant Gustin, the actor behind the show's Barry Allen. Also, Simon Oliver and Mark Doyle drop by to discuss FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics, Howard Porter discusses DC's newest comic series, Justice League 3000, and YouTube sensation ComicBookGirl19 reviews three of this week's highly anticipated comics.
Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week, we're giving you exclusive first looks at SUICIDE SQUAD #25 and FBP: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PHYSICS #5!

Market Watch
Many reasons to be optimistic going into 2011 season
Producers are optimistic about this season. Improved prices make a profit possible, but input prices chip away at that potential. Consumers are responding to marketing investments by growers and manufacturers, and, hopefully, farmers will respond by planting a good supply of quality peanuts.
At the start of a new season, there is good news – prices are up and so is consumption. There are plenty of concerns as well. The loss of Temik will impact yield. Producers may get through this season, but sooner or later, the loss will cost growers several hundred pounds per acre and will require better rotation management.
It is normal to be concerned about water, especially in the Southwest, but this year is different. That region has not had a decent rain since last October, and the Southeast and V-C regions also did not get normal winter rains. Some irrigated land is being planted in corn and cotton. Georgia officials estimate that the 50 percent irrigated peanuts will drop to 30 percent.
Acreage Estimate
When cotton prices were moving up and even peanut prices were climbing higher, USDA issued the acreage estimate for peanuts at only four percent less than last year. Georgia was thought to be down 20 percent and Texas down 40 percent by leading experts, but USDA says that farmers they interviewed showed only a four percent decline in Georgia, three percent in Texas.
The acreage estimate shocked the market. If USDA is right, prices will stay the same or go lower. Farmers holding 2010 peanuts in the loan were hoping for higher prices, but with the estimate, it is not likely. It may be June 30 before markets recover when USDA issues the peanut acreage planted.
Old Crop
Shellers struggle with quality from the 2010 crop, which does not meet minimum standards and has to be blanched. Buyers report shortages of top quality redskin peanuts. Prices have risen to 80 cents per pound, with blanched prices over 70 cents per pound.
Some farmers are holding a few tons of non-priced peanuts in the loan. Prices are $550 to $600 per ton for runners. Prices will be influenced by 2011 planted acres and growing conditions. Farmers have nine months to sell loan peanuts, pushing deadlines to September and October of 2011. Some farmers need to sell to finance the 2011 crop.
New Crop
Early farmer-stock contracts traded for $550 per ton, and an estimated 30 percent of producers signed up. As cotton continued to climb, contracts rose to $600 per ton and another estimated 15 to 20 percent signed. Producers have been told that cotton at $1.35 per pound equals $700 per ton for peanuts, and they are waiting.
Southwest growers were offered $725 to $775 per ton for Virginia's and $650 to $680 per ton for runners, but farmers sat out the offer watching cotton. The industry had the Southwest down 30 to 40 percent in acreage, while USDA posted a three to four percent decline. Somebody will be wrong.
Peanut Usage
Never before has the peanut industry seen usage numbers like these. For the month of February, peanuts in candy were up an amazing 25 percent, with peanuts in snacks up 42.8 percent and peanut butter up 7.2 percent for an incredible 17 percent increase. For the year, candy is up 21.7 percent, snacks are up almost 20 percent, peanut butter is up 1.4 percent and the industry can be proud of the 8.4 percent overall increase after seven months for edible peanuts.
Look for declines in exports, although early shipments were up about 12 percent. If the Argentine crop can avoid an early frost, the European market is poised to buy their crop as the United States will have trouble meeting minimum quality standards from old crop.
Happy Days
Peanuts are finally selling at prices similar to the old quota system, and it's about time! Consumers like peanuts and peanut butter; manufacturers are now willing to invest in expanding the market. Producers need to be sensitive to industry needs for all segments. It would be nice to follow the market and not have to worry about the Farm Bill. PG

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is expected to make his first comments today on the widening sex scandal involving former CIA director David Petraeus.
Lawmakers have been digging through tons of emails, trying to determine if the extramarital affair between Petraeus and his biographer, and emails between another woman and the head of U.S. command in Afghanistan, resulted in a threat to national security.
The Petraeus biographer, Paula Broadwell, sent harassing emails to the second woman, someone she apparently saw as a romantic rival.
And officials say that woman, in turn, traded thousands of sometimes flirtatious messages with the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, prompting the Pentagon to investigate him.

Found in Nature is a photography exhibition by artist Barry Rosenthal.
Rosenthal is a collector, the beach his flea market and found objects his inspiration. His photography work is organized in various steps: commuting, selection, recollection, arrangement, composition, lighting, photographing and printing. Exploring the gap between photography and sculpture, Barry confronts a challenge, he takes care of what others no longer care about.
He visits forgotten beaches in Brooklyn in NY harbor not manicured for people's use. Rosenthal's objects are found in the marsh, neither retrieved from the garbage nor the streets; they are mostly washed up after the storms. Some viewers remain captured by the beauty in his 'still lives' while others react to the vision of our uncontrollable garbage.
Whether glass bottles, plastic spoons and forks, or petrol containers, the intimacy of this work holds universal appeal.
For more information about the exhibition please check the press release

Women of the Hall
Birth: 1947 -
Born In: , Germany
Achievements: Athletics
Educated In: Virginia, New York
Schools Attended: George C. Marshall High School, Lynchburg College, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University
Worked In: New York, Massachusetts, California, Illinois, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Florida, Georgia
Kathrine Switzer
As the first woman to officially enter the Boston Marathon, Kathrine Switzer broke the gender barrier and paved the way for women in running.
Born into a military family stationed in Germany, Switzer later attended Syracuse University, earning a B.A. from the Newhouse School of Journalism (1968).
In 1967, Switzer registered for the Boston Marathon as 'K. Switzer'. After the race began, the race director realized Switzer was a woman and attempted to forcibly remove her. However, she continued on and completed the course. Photos of this "Boston Incident" ignited the women's running revolution at a time when popular theory held that women were not strong enough to run the 26.2 mile distance.
Thanks to the efforts of Switzer and others, women were officially allowed into road races in 1971. The next year, she earned her M.A. in public communications from Syracuse University.
In 1977, Switzer founded the Avon International Running Circuit, an initiative that created running programs in 27 countries for over 1 million women. These efforts eventually led to the inclusion of the women's marathon as an official event in the Olympic Games. In 1984, 49 athletes from 28 countries ran the inaugural Women's Olympic Marathon.
Switzer went on to simultaneous careers as a fitness expert, television broadcaster, author and public speaker. She formed her own company, AtAlanta Sports Promotions and is an Emmy Award-winning television commentator who has done broadcast work for ABC, CBS, NBC and ESPN. Switzer's books include Marathon Woman and Running and Walking for Women Over 40.
Switzer has revolutionized the sport of running for women, while at the same time increasing awareness of healthy lifestyles and the importance of fitness. She once noted that, "Triumph over adversity, that's what the marathon is all about. Nothing in life can't triumph after that."
A member of the inaugural class of the National Distance Running Hall of Fame (1998), Switzer was named one of four "Visionaries of the Century" by Runner's World Magazine (2002), and has received the Abebe Bikila Award from the New York Road Runners Club for her global contribution to running (2003).
Still recognized as a leader in the running world, Switzer has completed over thirty-seven marathons and dedicated her career to creating opportunities and equal sport status for women.

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.
To contact your local wildlife ranger, click here for contact details. To read the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000, click here.

Please DO NOT send any live, dead or skeletal remains of any creature whatsoever to Mooney Goes Wild.
If you find an injured animal or bird, please contact the National Parks & Wildlife Service on 1890 20 20 21, or BirdWatch Ireland, on 01 281-9878, or visit www.irishwildlifematters.ie

Harry Chapin Story of a Life Lyrics
Last updated: 03/11/2013 02:53:20 PM
I can see myself it's a golden sunrise
Young boy open up your eyes
It's supposed to be your day.
Now off you go horizon bound
And you won't stop until you've found
Your own kind of way.
And the wind will whip your tousled hair,
The sun, the rain, the sweet despair,
Great tales of love and strife.
And somewhere on your path to glory
You will write your story of a life.
And all the towns that you walk through
And all the people that you talk to
Sing you their songs.
And there are times you change your stride,
There are times you can't decide
Still you go on.
And then the young girls dance their gypsy tunes
And share the secrets of the moon
So soon you find a wife.
And though she sees your dreams go poorly
Still she joins your story of a life.
So you settle down and the children come
And you find a place that you come from.
Your wandering is done.
And all your dreams of open spaces
You find in your children's faces
One by one.
And all the trips you know you missed
And all the lips you never kissed
Cut through you like a knife.
And now you see stretched out before thee
Just another story of a life.
So what do you do now?
When she looks at you now?
You know those same old jokes all the jesters tell
You tell them to her now.
And all the same old songs all the minstrels sang
You sing 'em to her now.
But it don't matter anyhow
'Cause she knows by now.
So every chance you take don't mean a thing.
What variations can you bring
To this shopworn melody.
And every year goes by like a tollin' bell.
It's battered merchandise you sell.
Not well, she can see.
And though she's heard it all a thousand times
Couched in your attempted rhymes
She'll march to your drum and fife.
But the question echoes up before me
Where's the magic story of a life?
Now sometimes words can serve me well
Sometimes words can go to hell
For all that they do.
And for every dream that took me high
There's been a dream that's passed me by.
I know it's so true
And I can see it clear out to the end
And I'll whisper to her now again
Because she shared my life.
For more than all the ghosts of glory
She makes up the story,
She's the only story
Of my life.
my story | Reviewer: Shayne Themba Meyerson | 3/10/13
i adopted this song in about 1979 (18ish) cant believe how true the end is now.....harry i will look for you when i get there .....when i left home i started my journal and called it "leaving the nest" ......i now have changed it to ''Story of a Life'' thank you for your soul Harry thank you..... your South African son ...shayne themba meyerson (hope in zulu themba)

Gawker hack leads to Twitter acai spam
The acai spam attack was so large that Twitter users reported it to Twitter security as a worm. In fact, it doesn't seem to be spreading through malicious links. It's just that the number of accounts stolen via the leaked Gawker database is that huge. Twitter itself has confirmed that the Gawker attack and the Twitter spam are related. At this point, the original spam seems to have died down and been replaced with a new and unintentional kind of spam: people warning their friends not to click on acai berry links. Doh!
If you've ever had a Gawker account, now's a good time to change all your passwords. We've already posted about a few apps that will make it easier.

Twenty-four-year-old Conor Shelley of Rockville Centre outlasted a pack of six other top competitors to repeat as the top finisher in the 2012 Oyster Bay Town Supervisor's 5 Kilometer Run on Oct. 13. Shelley scored in 15:16 as the top seven finishers crossed the finish line in the Oyster Bay Townsend Square parking lot within 17 seconds of each other.
Top honors in the women's division went to 27-year-old Jodie Robertson of Melville in 17:16, holding off runner-up Karen Roa of Port Jefferson by six seconds. Indicative of the overall strength of the field, the first 16 finishers broke the 18-minute mark on what is not an easy course, and 38 finishers broke the 20-minute mark. A total of 634 runners and walkers finished the event, 50 more than in 2011.
The three Syosset Cyclones teams in the travel division of SYAC Girls Softball roared into the second half of their fall season with games the weekend of Oct. 13-14, following a Columbus Day break.
The U9 Cyclones, a team that held their first practice two months ago, upped their record in the Rocky Pacent League to 3-2 on Saturday, Oct. 13. On the last play of a seesaw game at Syosset-Woodbury Park, pitcher Sydney Nadel made a diving catch of a pop fly to hold onto a 13-12 win over the Lady Cobras of Roslyn.
On Saturday, Oct. 13, "lucky 13," the Jericho Jayhawks Varsity Football Team took to the gridiron to play the team from Great Neck South (GNS) to stay in playoff contention in the Nassau V division, after coming off another win against Great Neck North.
GNS started the game with a failed onside kickoff attempt where the JayHawks recovered the ball and started their first offensive possession close to midfield. Ian Green, still nursing a thumb injury on his throwing hand, dropped back for a pass on first down that was intercepted by GNS. The Jericho sidelines showed little concern as the defense ran onto the field and stopped GNS.
The Syosset Braves 8-year-old football players got off to a rough start this season with a tie against a tough Garden City team and then losing to Seaford A. After beating Floral Park 19-6 for their first win of the year, they headed into Homecoming with a record of 1-1-1.
The Braves from Syosset faced the Bellmore Braves and the Syosset team came out on top with a hard fought 18-6 victory. They played an all around game with the defense holding Bellmore to only one touchdown. Their defensive line anchored by Joe Mehran, Judson Levi, Jacob Sheedy, Nicholas Chazotte, Jett D'Agostino, and Jack Schuster stopped Bellmore from running up the middle while defensive ends Andrew Lenneberg, Jason Pacelli and Luca Cutolo along with cornerbacks Robert Trapeo and Luke Citron kept them from running outside.
The 36 local girls who comprise the three Syosset Cyclones teams in the Travel Division of SYAC Girls Softball reached the mid-point of their fall season on Columbus Day weekend. The U9 Cyclones, a new team that held their first practice just six weeks ago, is doing great with a 2-2 record in the Rocky Pacent League. The team is developing a slew of new pitchers with weekly pitching clinics, and all girls are swinging the bats.
The U10 Cyclones have come up huge in competition, crushing their opponents with double-digits innings. The team is 6-0 for the season and leading the U10 division of the East Meadow Fall Classic.
There was definitely something new under the sun on Sept. 16, as several hundred swimmers/runners gathered at TOBAY Beach for an 800-meter swim in South Oyster Bay, followed by an eclectic three-mile run to and through the TOBAY Beach Bird and Game Preserve: the Summer's Not Done AquaRun.
Dominican speedster Yean Jiminez of the Bronx, who led the field in the swim, held off a strong challenge by Sam Fox of Merrick on the run and scored a three-second victory over Fox. Magdalena Mango of New York City turned in a great performance to win the women's division, with veteran Mineola triathlete Barbara Cronin Stagnari second.
The 27th anniversary of the Bethpage Ocean To Sound Relay marked another great day for local runners. With enthusiastic sponsor Bethpage Federal Credit Union, a record 144 teams enjoyed near perfect weather conditions to complete the course, and still another great post-race party ("the best post-race party in the Northeast"), it was an all round success.
Teams of eight runners each traversed a 50-mile course that started at Jones Beach State Park, wound its way through Wantagh, Seaford, Massapequa, Farmingdale, Old Bethpage, Plainview, Huntington and back west into Cold Spring Harbor, Syosset and Oyster Bay before ending at Fireman's Field in Oyster Bay, adjacent to Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park.
Skills clinics, drills and lots of practices are paying off for the three Syosset Cyclones teams in the Travel Division of SYAC Girls Softball.
The U10 Cyclones came up big in competition against the Bellmore Blue Fire, with 12-2 and 19-1 victories on Sunday, Sept. 30. The Cyclones had their hitting shoes on as they pounded out big home runs and were speedy on the basepaths. The team is 6-0 for the season and leading the U10 division of the East Meadow Fall Classic.
Jericho's homecoming varsity football game was the first game the team had ever played under the lights, when classic Friday Night football came to Jericho. The band was set up and the cheerleaders were rocking when the skies opened up and the rain came down in buckets.
The first series began after a missed catch by the Roslyn receiver that resulted in a first down. Jericho's defense was up and running and didn't give any room for the Roslyn offense to get going. Josh Harris has been the running back to stop, banging out one 20-yard run and then another for Jericho's first score, 7-0. This was just the beginning of the scoring for the evening. The next score, a Chandler Kirby 70-yard touchdown run, was called back due to a Jericho penalty.
The Syosset Braves 8-year-old Cheer Team had a very exciting day this past weekend. The girls had to get up early, put on their uniforms and head to Citifield Stadium in Queens. The reason? The Mets were hosting Cheer and Dance Day. The Braves arrived at Citifield and were greeted by over 500 cheerleaders, ranging from elementary school teams, to high school teams, all the way up to college level. Even the championship Hofstra Cheer Team was there. The day was led by members of the Jets (football) Flight Crew Cheer Team.
The Jets led the large group through an hour-long rehearsal, right out in the parking lot of Citifield. It was an incredible sight and the girls could feel the spirit and excitement in the air. The Braves did a fine job of keeping up with the rest, even though their team was one of the youngest in attendance.
