Although air pollution has decreased over the last two decades, it is still a major problem in many areas. 'Euro standards' for vehicles have not succeeded in reducing real NO2 emissions to the levels set out in the legislation although they have made substantial improvements to air quality overall.
Increasing transport of goods is also leading to poor air quality. Freight was one of the main causes of the high levels of NO2. Increased shipping over the last two decades has also meant that emissions of acid rain-causing sulphur oxides have only decreased 14 % since 1990, despite major efficiency improvements.
Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said: "One of the big challenges of the 21st Century will be to mitigate the negative effects of transport – greenhouse gases, air pollution and noise – while ensuring positive aspects of mobility. Europe can take the lead by intensifying its work in the area of technological innovation in electric mobility. Such change could transform inner city living."
Sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions have fallen the most since 1990 (–80 %), followed by carbon monoxide (CO) (–62 %), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) (–55 %) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)(–44 %).
For several pollutants the decline was particularly sharp between 2008 and 2009. For example, SOx emissions fell by 21 % mainly as a result of the economic recession which led to reduced energy demand and hence lower emissions from public power plants in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Spain. Similarly, emissions of other key pollutants from the electricity generating sector also fell significantly in 2009 – for example, NOx and primary particulate matter (PM) both by around 10 % between 2008 and 2009.
However, it is worth noting that although emissions within the EU have fallen significantly, air quality can still be quite low, particularly in urban areas.
The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) aims to limit and, as far as possible, gradually reduce and prevent air pollution including long-range transboundary air pollution. The 51 Parties of the Convention, including the EU, are obliged to report emissions data for a large number of air pollutants. The main air pollutants and their effect on human health and the environment are listed here.
The EEA assists the EU by preparing the emissions inventory to be reported under the LRTAP Convention each year.
The EEA publishes the data from the inventory report in the air pollutant emissions data viewer, a searchable web-based interface that simplifies access and analysis. The data viewer shows emission trends and graphics for the main sectors and allows comparison of emissions from different countries and activities.
Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, added: "Air pollution is a serious health threat, especially to risk-prone groups such as children and people with respiratory diseases. By informing citizens about air pollution from transport, households and other sources where they live, these maps empower them to take action and urge authorities to make improvements."
The E-PRTR, launched in 2009 to improve access to environmental information, contains data reported by individual industrial facilities (point sources) and, as of today, information on emissions from road transport, shipping, aviation, heating of buildings, agriculture and small businesses (diffuse sources).
Diffuse sources of pollution are widespread and/or concentrated in highly populated areas. A large number of many tiny emissions from houses and vehicles represent collectively a large, diffuse source of pollution, in particular in cities.
The new, comprehensive set of 32 maps allows Europeans to see on a scale of 5 km by 5 km where pollutants are released. They include details of nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulphur oxides (SOX), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3) and particulate matter (PM10).
While air quality data are publicly available from both national and European data providers[1], these data do not provide information concerning the various sources of pollution. The new maps raise awareness about local releases of air pollutants, and allow citizens to zoom in on their own neighbourhood. In addition, air quality experts can use the data for modelling, thereby assessing the environmental consequences of local emissions.
The spatial distribution maps reveal, for example, large hotspots for emissions of ammonia (NH3) from agriculture in the Po Valley in Italy, in Brittany in France, and the Benelux countries. High levels of ammonia emissions harm the environment by contributing to soil and freshwater acidification and eutrophication.
They also show the extent to which NOX and PM10 emissions from road transport occur in large urban areas and along the main road networks. In cities road transport in particular contributes significantly to the levels of PM10 in the air we breathe.
In 2003, parties to the Aarhus Convention – including the EU – adopted the Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTR), which entered into force on 8 October 2009. The EU has gone beyond the PRTR Protocol by requiring Member States to report information on an additional five pollutants to the 85 substances listed, and imposing more stringent reporting thresholds for another six.
Information in the E-PRTR is updated in May each year. In addition to the 27 Member States of the European Union, it also includes data from Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Serbia started reporting to the E-PRTR in 2011. The website now includes the new information on diffuse source releases into air for 2008 covering key pollutants. Further information on diffuse source releases into water and soil will be included in coming years.
The EEA is based in Copenhagen. The Agency helps achieve significant and measurable improvement in Europe's environment by providing timely, targeted, relevant and reliable information to policy-makers and the public.
IES is based in Ispra and it is one of the seven scientific institutes of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). Its mission is to provide scientific and technical support to EU policies for the protection of the European and global environment. The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) activity of IES provides trends in anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants globally on a scale of about 10 km by 10 km.

With filming set to kick off next week, the final pieces of the casting puzzle are being put into place for Rian Johnson's ambitious sci-fi flick "Looper."
Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo and Noah Segan (a regular Johnson player having appeared in "Brick" and "The Brothers Bloom") have joined the cast that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano and Xu Qing. The story follows "a killer who works for the mob of the future. He, along with other so-called Loopers, dispose of people sent from the future. When he recognizes one victim as his future self, he hesitates, letting the man escape." Gordon-Levitt and Willis, of course, play the two versions of the protagonist with Dano as a fellow Looper, Blunt in an unnamed role while Qing is set to portray the wife of Willis' character. No word yet on the parts for the latest trio of thesps joining the cast.
"Primer" director Shane Carruth is behind camera handling visual effects work for the film that is set in a world "sixty years from now [where] China is the leading superpower and time travel has been invented." It all sounds wickedly exciting and we can't wait.
No word yet on release dates but we're not expecting this one to hit until 2012. [Variety]

Confessing our weaknesses
Time to admit Christian education has its problems, too
Regular readers of this column are no longer surprised to find me blasting away at the public, state-sponsored educational establishment. I don't think that either in theory or in practice, thoughtful citizens should any longer expect much that is good from that huge and terribly secularized bureaucracy. And I've said that so very often in this space that I fear I have genuinely offended some of our faithful readers.
Here, I want to confess explicitly some of the embarrassing weaknesses of Christian education, all too apparent in both school and homeschool versions. And then, I should announce right up front, I'll say two things on the subject that will probably still prove offensive to those who support public education. But I promise to do it good-naturedly.
Especially for those of us who know the movements pretty well, finding negative things to say about Christian schools and homeschools isn't all that hard. We haven't done everything right, by any means, and there are a few things we have not done well at all.
If you want to find a really pitiful critique of Christian schools and home schools, try ethicsdaily.org/article_detail.cfm?AID=7283. There's an ornery debate going on right now in Southern Baptist circles about the proper way for Christians to educate their children, and on that website, Rev. Don Wilkey of First Baptist Church in Onaluska, Texas, offers a litany of mostly outdated and silly accusations against Christian education. If Mr. Wilkey really wants to put down Christian schools and homeschools, he should come to us for ammunition.
Here's what I would say:
1. In our proper zeal for providing Christian education for our own children, we have too often self-centeredly forgotten the needs of others-especially the educational needs of the poor and of minorities. Sometimes we have shamefully run away from such associations and obligations.
2. In our support and development of textbooks and curriculum for our new programs, we have sometimes backed materials that were just as propagandistic on our side of issues as were the materials that so infuriated us from the secular side.
3. We have too often offered parents nothing more than a "cleaned up" version of secularism. We've removed the ugly parts, but the product we've offered hasn't always been thoughtfully Christian-even though that's what we said we were offering and what we charged tuition for.
4. Similarly, while providing orderly and decently well-behaved settings for our schools and homeschools, we have too often done that by relying on legalism. It's far easier to produce good order with rules than it is by producing change in a child's heart. We've too often taken the quick and easy route.
5. In our zeal to produce outstanding academic programs, we've forgotten important subsets of the student population. So we've done far too little in the area of vocational education. And only recently have some of our schools gotten serious about children with disabilities and other special needs. When people accuse us of skimming off the easy assignments, and leaving the rest to public schools, they have a point.
That's just for starters. Give me another page, and I'll give you another half-dozen things Christian education hasn't done too well. Our work is cut out for us.
But there are still a couple of profound differences.
One is that neither Mr. Wilkey nor any other critics of Christian schools or homeschools have ever been asked to pay one red cent for all the mistakes we've made. That stands in stark contrast to the fact that all of us involved in Christian schools and homeschools have to pay, year after year, for the mistakes and wrong-headedness of public education.
Second, any family patronizing any of the programs making the mistakes I've outlined here has the easy option, when they get tired of such mistakes, of just walking away from such a program-without penalty. Very few families patronizing public schools have such an option.
So to my friends in public schools, I say: Keep challenging us to admit our own weaknesses, even while we point out weaknesses in the public system. We need to take seriously some of your criticisms. But remember also that the ability to respond to those weaknesses is very much part of the picture.

"That's why we line up on Sunday." This was a throwaway comment from Nicky Hayden made during his MotoGP title winning campaign of 2006. The American was referring to the fact that anything could happen over the course of a race, but on Sunday he showed again that the true reason why racers line up on Sunday is to win. Hayden claimed a stunning maiden WorldSBK victory in difficult conditions at the Sepang International Circuit this passed weekend. For Hayden, having waited ten years for a vicotry, it was clear in the aftermath just how much it meant for The Kentucky Kid to finally win again. "I only felt confident of winning once I'd crossed the finish line. I learned a long time ago — and if you see me or my brothers, or my Dad — we never celebrate until the bike crosses the finish line…"
There has been a great deal of smoke around this fire, but Maverick Viñales has finally inked a deal with the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team. Though there has been chatter on the subject since Friday, the news was confirmed to Asphalt & Rubber today. Together with the news of Dani Pedrosa staying at Repsol Honda, all of these reports should end one of the largest focal points of speculation in the GP paddock. The move will see Viñales racing alongside his childhood hero, Valentino Rossi, for the next two seasons; and it also means things are back to square-one for the Ecstar Suzuki MotoGP team, as it looks for a new rider to lead the project on the track.
It is again with a heavy heart that we have to report the passing not only of a colleague, but also a friend, as Rob Harris passed away yesterday, while riding dirt bikes in Ontario, Canada. A Brit who found his way into Canada, "Editor 'arris" was very much the engine that drove the Canadian motorcycle news website Canada Moto Guide, serving as its Founder, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief. His departure will mean the creation of a huge hole in the Canada's motorcycling landscape. The intersection of old-school journalism values, with new-school media savvy, Rob was one of the good ones. Our hearts are with Rob's wife Courtney, and their two girls, Cate and Chloe. Along with the whole CMG team, we will be mourning the loss of our friend and colleague. Ride in peace, brother.
I know we have mentioned before our love for endurance racing machines. The FIM Endurance World Championship just doesn't get nearly enough play to soothe our appetite. It is the last international motorcycle racing series that has a proper tire war; it has strong factory involvement that can see a number of brands winning on any given weekend; and it is also the only true "team sport" in motorcycle racing. What's not to like, right? Leading the pack so far this season is Team Kawasaki SRC, which won the season-opener at Le Mans, with riders Greg Leblanc, Matthieu Lagrive, and Fabian Foret at the helm. Team Kawasaki SRC has always been one of the stronger teams in the Endurance World Championship, and this year it looks like thing could finally come together for "Team Verte".
Summer is right around the corner for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, so the obviously appropriate time to talk about a snowbike is now, right? What the SnoPed lacks in seasonal appropriateness, it absolutely makes up for in super-villain stature, as the modern-looking snowbike looks like it rolled (is that the right verb?) off the set of a Hollywood spy movie. The brainchild of American designer Joey Ruiter, SnoPed features a 90cc engine (out of a Chrysler Sno-runner) underneath its sculpted body, which isn't exactly going to blow your socks off when knee-deep in the powpow, but is enough to scurry down a groomed cross-country trail. Ruiter's project with the SnoPed is really a design exercise and a good excuse to play dress-up. We take it as such, at least.
I know what you are already thinking, everyone and their mom already has an action camera. To make matters worse, GoPro (the leader in this realm) has seen its stock price drop in what can only be described as a complete free fall for the past month, thanks mostly to lagging sales. So, how can action cameras be the next, next big thing in the motorcycle industry? The answer is a simple one, if you will allow me to explain. The next, next big thing for motorcycles isn't the cameras themselves – those are basically already at commodity status for consumers – but instead the future for action cameras resides in integrated camera platforms for motorcycles.
Even if most of it is just manipulating pixels, we are big fans of the work being done by the guys at Holographic Hammer, as they are bringing something fresh and unique to the industry, which is always a good thing. That being said, we wanted to take a minute to talk about one of HH's recent pieces: a café racer design based off of the Yamaha R1M superbike. The idea is sort of out there, but yet also makes a reasonable amount of sense. Let's be frank, the idea of using an R1 for a café racer concept is our kind of crazy. But, the design also makes some sense when you look at Yamaha's recent focus on its "sport heritage" lineup, which is an attempt to appeal to the post-authentic crowd.
In an effort to improve safety for motorcyclists, BMW Motorrad has developed what it calls an "Intelligent Emergency Call" system, which allows motorcyclists to call for help with the touch of a button on their motorcycle. The system is part of a larger push in Europe for an "eCall" emergency SOS program that would alert emergency personnel to a vehicle crash with greater expediency and efficiency. According to the pan-European eCall trial, systems like BMW's can bring emergency services to a crash scene 40% to 50% faster, and the European Commission estimates that an eCall system like BMW's could save up to 2,500 lives each year (saving €26 billion in the process, as well).
The rise of electronic rider aids has come to consumer-level dirt bikes, with Husqvarna now offering traction control on all of its four-stroke motocross motorcycles for the 2017 model year. Traction control on dirt bikes isn't a new concept, with racing machines featuring the technology for almost a decade now (in some form or another, and depsite what the rules say), but Husqvarna's foray into the use of electronics marks a new era for consumer dirt bikes. As we see already in the on-road segments, traction control and other electronics are proving themselves to be the new horsepower.
After devastating tremors in the region, Honda's Kumamoto factory, as well as the facilities of their nearby suppliers, were closed for equipment and structural repairs. Making progress on those repairs, Honda partially re-opened its Kumamoto facility two weeks ago, though the factory's production capabilities currently remain limited. Now, the latest word from Honda is that Kumamoto will be back to full capacity by mid-August of this year, though it goes without saying that the production time will affect the rollout of several Honda machines. For those who don't know, the Kumamoto factory is Honda's flagship installation, and it produces many of Honda's top motorcycles (Gold Wing, CBR1000RR, VFR1200F, CRF250X, etc).

Miss Audrey Spanks
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Miss Audrey Spanks doesn't take sass lightly and has no problems dropping your pants and teaching your butt a lesson with the palm of her hand. Audrey Knight is a beautiful and stern chick who doles out the punishment and rosies up ass cheeks in this fun collection of spanking.
The layout of MissAudreySpanks is simple and the design is a little ho-hum. The menu bar lists all the sections on the left-hand side of the page and content is listed in the middle. You'll notice that the menu bar changes up a bit on different pages, so if you can't find a link go back to the homepage and look for it.
There are 27 videos available for download in Windows Media format. The quality of the files varies, but the last couple of updates have great-quality WMVsfor you to look at. The site advertises streaming, but really you're just waiting for the video to download and open on its own.
What really makes these flicks fun is Audrey and the way she scolds her spanked guys and gals. Each scene has a storyline and she does a good job of keeping it on track throughout the movie. Sometimes the spanked person will start to giggle, but she quickly puts an end to that kind of subordinate behavior. Smack!
There are also 28 photo galleriesfull of low-res images. Some of the images are blown up to a higher resolution, but the picture gets fuzzy. These shots can be downloaded in Zip files and they give you a good idea of what happens in the associated video.
Extras come in the form of vintage photos and drawings that feature spanking, stories, a blog and some blooper reels. I really liked the bonus images, especially the vintage pics. It's also worth noting that these drawings and photos always depict a chick doling out the tushy smacking. The blooper vids give you some interesting and humorous behind-the-scenes moments too.
If you find yourself getting really turned on by Miss Audrey Spanks, you can apply to get spanked by her. On the members' area homepage there are links to info areas about appearing in her vids or getting a private session. This site has lot of fun spanking, but it needs to grow. The update schedule is unclear since none of the content is dated. I say check back soon because this site has a lot of potential.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I, Garda M. Hodgson, have been working on the descendants of John Poor/ Power and Mary Holloway for over 30 years.
I have found many connections to the children and grandchildren of John Power and Mary Holloway Power that others have not been able to prove. For example, Holloway Power, oldest son of John and Mary, was married at least three times and had children by each wife. There were at least eight children by Holloway Power's wife, Margaret Curry, one child by his wife, Elizabeth Allison, and six by his wife, Tibatha Fowler. The children by his wives Margaret Curry and Elizabeth Allison have been identified and two of the six children by his wife Tibatha Fowler have been identified.
There were two grandchildren of John and Mary [Holloway] Power whose parents have not been identified, but important clues are included in the book, that should help identify them in the future.
I have also found the name of a previously unidentified son of Edward and Catherine Power who died before 1820 and who is the father of Eunice Power, and James C. Power. Eunice was the wife of Joseph R. Milam.
This is a picture of my great-grandfather, Louis Morgan Bryant Smith and his wife, Eliza Jane Haines and their children. He was the son of Rebecca [Sinclair] Smith, who was the great-granddaughter of John Power, Sr. and Mary Holloway.

loosening filter retaining ring
Posted 31 January 2013 - 10:00 AM
Seems the retaining ring is a bit tight and I would like to loosen it and see if things improve. But it doesn't want to move and I don't have a filter ring removal tool.
Any ideas on how to loosen this?
on the other hand maybe even if loosened it would still be astigmatic. now I regret not getting a Baader or Astrodon or something....
Posted 31 January 2013 - 10:27 AM
Also check your kitchen; I have a tool that is plastic-coated that is used to open jars, etc. This works very well with filters!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 10:31 AM
In any event, if you have an extra pair if hands available, one could support the filter cell while the other rotates the retaining ring using a pair of jeweler's screwdriver tips. Use the largest ones which will fit in the slots. The cell supporter should strive to not pinch or otherwise asymmetrically squeeze; try to exert uniform force.
It goes without saying that care is required!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 10:36 AM
Use a piece of the "rubberized" shelf liner to grab hold of the filter. This will give you a better grip on it. Also check your kitchen; I have a tool that is plastic-coated that is used to open jars, etc. This works very well with filters!
Hi Carol,
It's not that he can't get the filter off whatever it's attached to, he wants to remove the retaining ring that holds the filter element in the filter cell. The only safe way to do this is with a spanner wrench. I had the same problem last year and wound up getting a set of these Adjustable-Arm Spanner Wrenches. Problem solved. I've since used them for a lot of other optical projects that would have otherwise been impossible. Here's another set from Edmund Optics. Please notice that the company is EDMUND and not EDMUNDS as is a common mistake on CN. Edmunds is, in fact, a company, but it has absolutely nothing to do with optics!

Hey, some good came out of my booboo; your link to the spanning wrenches.

Sigapore is the camera captial. Go to any camera shop with a service department and I'm sure they will help you (most likely for free). They usually have a ton of spanner wrenches to fix lens (if you liked one buy it).
Luck, Bill

I got sick of ruining things so I bought a jewlers Spanner wrench, best $40.00 I ever spent, i use it all the time, no more ripped up retaining rings or scratched/ruined lenses.
Posted 01 February 2013 - 10:42 AM
Loosened it nicely. Hope the astigmatism goes away. Otherwise its a hundred bucks down the toilet. Even at best focus the stars weren't round that DeepSkyStacker had trouble registering the subs.
EDIT: well, the filter retaining ring is nice and loose. Still got astigmatism.
since I bought it used... (I knew there was something wrong if a 2" 10nm H-A filter was going for a hundred bucks) i don't have much recourse. the seller said it worked fine on his SCT... but then SCT's have so much coma and field curvature it's likely these would have masked the astigmatism.
that, or imperfect tracking. that would also embiggen the stars and conceal the astigmatism.
oh well. should not have cheaped out. These deals always get me in the end.....
Posted 02 February 2013 - 12:43 PM
Another test; place it in front of a bino or small refractor, and examine any suitable land or sky target. If the aperture is larger than the filter's aperture, simply mask of the outer annulus of unfiltered objective. This is a sensitive test, for it uses the full aperture. The magnification need not be high.
For me this poses a fascinating problem, for which I would strive to divine the fault.

AMHERST, Mass. — Joe Mallen, head coach at the UMass-Amherst, has reached agreement on a three-year contract extension with the school. The new deal keeps Mallen under contract through the 1999-2000 season.
A former Boston College assistant, Mallen, 40, has been coaching the team since the program was restarted in 1993-94. One year later, the Minutemen entered Hockey East, going 6-28-2. Last season, the Minutemen showed improvement, going 10-19-6.
Currently, UMass-Amherst is 7-7-0 (as of Dec. 8).
Mallen was a goalie at Michigan State, graduating in 1977. He was head coach at UMass-Boston from 1979-1985.
Including his years at UMass-Boston and the year as a Division I independent at Amherst, Mallen's career record stands at 122-109-10.
The deal gives Mallen a base salary of $87,500 with incentives. Incentives included in the contract are a bonus equal to one month's salary for reaching the NCAA Tournament, and $10 per season ticket purchased, up to a maximum of $30,000.

via setlist.fm
I wasn't going to look at the set for tonight and be surprised on Wednesday, but curiosity got the best of me. My biggest complaint is that I really, [b]really[/b] wanted Descent of the Archangel, which is one of my favorites, and they've been playing it pretty often. Nights of Arabia as well, but I think they stopped playing that a couple months back? On the other hand, if any song were to replace it, I'm glad that it's Abandoned, which is another one of my favorites.
I could do without EdenEcho, Necropolis, or Ghost Opera, but for my first time seeing Kamelot this will do, especially since, last I heard, Simone was even joining them for the US tour to do The Haunting with them. I'll ignore the lack of a couple favorites if it means seeing Simone join them for The Haunting.
Not to impressed with the setlist, considering on the European tour, they were playing some songs that they pretty much never play like The Sailorman's Hymm. Will be cool to hear Karma and the new stuff. Will see them tonight at Jaxx in VA during the hurricane. Show still on at this point
setlist for the agonist please!

Greendale - Sophomore quarterback Josh Ringelberg passed for 301 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 109 yards and another score as Greendale crushed Wauwatosa West, 41-16, Friday night in a WIAA Level 1 playoff game at West.
The win for the Panthers was their first in the playoffs since moving to Division 2 in 2008. Greendale, which lost to Tosa West, 37-30, in overtime on Oct. 5, put this game away early.
"This was not redemption," Greendale coach Rob Stoltz said. "We just wanted to get a playoff win. Since we got bumped up to D2, we haven't had a playoff win."
His quarterback didn't quite agree with him.
"From the first time we played them we knew who we had to stop," Ringelberg said. "We prepared pretty well (for this game). It was payback."
Ringelberg raced 74 yards for a touchdown with 11:02 in the first quarter and then tossed a beautiful 86-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Cody Kmetz for a 12-0 lead at the 5:59 mark.
"They (West defense) took something away (on the first touchdown)," Stoltz said. "(Ringelberg) read it and did the right thing."
When asked how important it was to get off to a fast start in a playoff game, the enthusiastic Stoltz was quick to reply.
"It's huge," he said. "Football, especially at the younger levels, is built on emotion. Josh is a really outstanding player and he will be the first to tell you our line does a really outstanding job and our halfback (Jake Zywicki) does as well.
"You can't have play action if we don't run the ball well and this is the deepest stable of receivers we've ever had (six deep). We have good receivers and they make plays."
West sophomore running back Demaris Purifoy scored on an 8-yard run and Zach Veit booted the point after to cut the lead to 12-7 with 3:54 left in the first period.
But it was the Ringelberg-Kmetz show.
Ringelberg threw touchdown passes of 33 and 39 yards to Kmetz to begin the second quarter and then added his fourth touchdown pass of the game - 39 yards - to Nate Miller for a 33-7 advantage.
The Panthers added a safety with 44 seconds left, when a bad snap from the Tosa West center went over punter Mickey Morgan's head. Morgan then slapped the ball through the back of the end zone to prevent a touchdown.
Zywicki, who rushed for 110 yards, scored on a 37-yard run to make the score 41-7 with 7:23 left in the third period. Morgan scored from four yards out in the fourth quarter and then the Trojans got a safety.
Kmetz caught six passes for 191 yards and three scores to lead the Panthers. Purifoy rushed for 119 yards on 34 carries for the Trojans.
West played without star running back Jameson Brock and wide receiver Develyn Ferguson.

Note: Instructors are not obligated to hold a seat for the student who is enrolled but does not attend the first class meeting. The Foothill-De Anza Community College District reserves the right to cancel classes; make other changes as college needs require; and change without notice any of the information, requirements and regulations in the schedule.
The Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board of Trustees has approved the hiring of Thuy Thi Nguyen as the next president of Foothill College. She will begin work July 1.
"Based on her record of innovation in promoting student access and diversity, I believe that Thuy will lead Foothill College in advancing a culture of student equity and in closing the achievement gap," Miner said. "I am confident she will offer the kind of leadership and inspiration that will help the college achieve its most ambitious goals and further enhance the state and national leadership role for which our district is known."
Currently serving as interim general counsel for the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office since July 2015, Nguyen has spent the past 12 years working for community colleges and community college students. She is on loan to the state chancellor's office from the Peralta Community College District, where she had worked for more than a decade.
"I am extremely grateful to Chancellor Judy Miner for the opportunity to lead a nationally top-ranked community college," said Nguyen, 40. "Foothill has a long tradition of academic excellence and I look forward to working with the exceptional faculty and staff in fulfilling the college's commitment to student success for all."
Nguyen will take her place among a small group of Asian American college presidents and is believed to be the first Vietnamese American community college president in California. Across the country, only 1.5 percent of presidents at two- and four-year colleges and universities are Asian and Pacific Island Americans, according to the most recent published data from the American Council on Education.
Nguyen's is a classic American success story.
When she was 3, she and her family joined the wave of "boat people" who fled Vietnam after the end of the war. They drifted in the Pacific Ocean on a rickety boat for more than 20 days before a commercial ship rescued them and took them to a refugee camp in Japan. Eventually, the family relocated to Wichita, Kansas, then moved to the warmer climate of New Orleans.
When she was 14, the family settled in the Bay Area, living in a low-income housing apartment in Oakland. Nguyen attended a predominantly African American and Latino school, Castlemont High, where she embarked on a path of community leadership and service.
At Castlemont, she served as a student representative on the Oakland Unified School District's Board of Directors, cadet colonel brigade commander in the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, and valedictorian of her class. Upon graduation, the mayor of Oakland declared June 23, 1993 "Thuy Thi Nguyen Day" recognizing her community service.
She earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy at Yale University, then entered the UCLA School of Law. Nguyen said she was inspired to pursue a legal career so that she could play a part in correcting social injustice, having seen firsthand the contrast between the "haves" and "have nots" in society. While still in law school she was selected to receive a Paul and Daisy Soros for New Americans Fellowship, which provides opportunities for new immigrants to achieve leadership positions in their chosen field and achieve the American dream. Nguyen was part of the inaugural class in the law school's public interest law and policy program and earned a juris doctor degree.
Nguyen started her career at a small law firm in Emeryville, providing legal assistance to school districts in areas such as desegregation, student discipline, bilingual education and employment. She later worked as a field representative for California Assembly Majority Leader Wilma Chan.
In 2003, the Peralta Community College District appointed her interim general counsel, and soon made the appointment permanent. As general counsel, she represented the interests of the district and its four colleges, Laney College, Merritt College, College of Alameda and Berkeley City College. Over the years, she performed additional duties for the district as acting vice chancellor for human resources and districtwide strategic planning manager.
Before her assignment in the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, Nguyen took a leave from Peralta to serve for six months as interim president and chief executive officer of the Community College League of California, heading the chief advocacy organization for California community colleges.
In announcing her selection, Miner cited two projects that she said illustrate Nguyen's ability to translate passion and vision into action.
One is the law school pathways project Nguyen created to diversify the legal profession. As a volunteer on the State Bar of California's Council on Access and Fairness, Nguyen brought together law schools, universities and community colleges to develop a program that gives a diverse population of students a clear pathway to law school.
The 2+2+3 Community Colleges Pathway to Law School launched in 2014 and today includes six California law schools, six undergraduate universities, 29 community colleges and 16 high school law academies and is viewed as a model.
Another example that Miner pointed to was the creativity Nguyen brought to her general counsel role in the state chancellor's office.
As overseer of equal employment opportunity plans for 72 community college districts and 113 colleges, Nguyen led the move to an innovative funding approach that encourages community colleges to assess and strengthen their efforts in equal employment opportunity. She's also organized regional training workshops covering such topics as why diversity in hiring matters and how to address unconscious bias, highlighting evidence that a diverse faculty helps close the student achievement gap.
Nguyen has deep connections in the East Bay and is well known in the local Vietnamese community.
She co-published a book, "25 Vietnamese Americans in 25 Years," showcasing the contributions of 25 distinguished Vietnamese Americans to American society to mark the anniversary of the fall of Saigon. The book is archived in the Library of Congress and available at the Viet Museum in San Jose and many public and university libraries across the country.
Nguyen worked as an adjunct instructor teaching education law for several years at what is now California State University, East Bay. She currently serves as board president of the Marcus Foster Education Institute, which promotes excellence and educational opportunity in Oakland public schools.
In 2011, the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California gave her its Trailblazer Award and in 2012, the Minority Bar Coalition presented her with its Unity Award. She is the founding president of the Castlemont High School Alumni Association and has been inducted into the school's Alumni Hall of Fame.
Nguyen is a Rotarian and lives with her husband and two children in Castro Valley.
She places on the salary schedule for executive compensation at $188,878.
Nguyen's appointment will conclude a nationwide search for Foothill's top administrative post that began last fall with the assistance of the national recruiting firm Community College Search Services.
Foothill College serves approximately 13,000 students annually. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently identified it as the top two-year public college in the nation for graduating first-time, degree-seeking students within three years.

Last Sunday, 10 lucky Armin fans were invited to have a chat with the man himself! Through Google Plus, they were offered a chance to finally pose that burning question they've always had. From Armin's shoe-size to the announcement of ASOT 550 dates and a short preview of Armin's new track, some very interesting questions were asked.
Luckily, it's not only the 10 winners to have gotten some answers. Dancefoundation was there to film this special happening, so check out the Google Plus chat session of Armin here on YouTube!


text: Erm this is a little embarrassing but yes, my fat ass is above the weight limit on the current crop of Downtube Novas. I was hoping to wait out for a new batch of 2010s from Downtube but at the moment it looks like Yan is clearing inventory so probably won't be stocking the new bikes for a while... which apparently will be more expensive than the 2009s for lots of reasons. Anyway... don't like the color or SA hub on the other models which brings me to the Nova. Is 10-15 lbs over the limit dangerous or am I just pushing the longevity of the bike? I'd rather not have the frame crack mid-ride but I'm assuming the weight tolerances are less about the welds and more about the components.

Clear rules should be given to the police as to when they can use water cannon and plastic bullets against rioters a watchdog has said. Officers could lawfully have shot arsonists in some cases during the summer rioting in England the inspectorate of Constabulary said.
Legal advice given in the inspectorates review of the August riots suggested that firearms can " potentially" be deployed where arson poses a threat to life or serious injury. I full heartedly support the use of firearms under the circumstances suggested. Water cannon and plastic bullets should generally be used against this scum. However certain MP's have already complained no doubt human rights lawyers will soon be on the case. All potential rioters can rest easily in their beds.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Anything that is privileged communications between the attorney and his/her client is not subject to divlugement by the attorney. The client can testify about these communications if he/she chooses. However, the client cannot be sanctioned for refusing to testify about this.
The only exception for the attorney is if the person provides information in continuance of a crime. If this occurs, the attorney has a duty to notify the authorities.
Under the rules of civil procedure (Rule 37 in the federal rules and in most states), the deponent can only be sanctioned for literally failing to appear. If the deponent appears physically, but refuses to testify, that is not a sanctionable event. The only option is to ask the court to order him to testify, and if he refuses, to put him in jail until he does.

Peter Peter is a Quebec-based electronic pop-rock singer who's soft-spoken French lyrics and understated but emotionally effective synths evoke the best memories of M83 without feeling like a straight ripoff. "Une version améliorée de la tristesse" is a simple but beautiful track that is meant for late-night walks on city streets and post-party reflection periods. Also it has a killer saxophone solo, signifying that we aren't quite done with the great 2010's Sax Revivalist Movement. Listen to "Une version améliorée de la tristesse" below.

Catholic Bishops acknowledged Monday that voters rejected their stances against gay marriage and birth control, but church leaders are holding fast to their strategy.
BALTIMORE — A subdued U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops acknowledged Monday that voters rejected the stands they took against gay marriage and birth control, but the church leaders gave no sign they would change their strategy ahead.
Same-sex marriage supporters made a four-state sweep of ballot measures last week, despite intensive advocacy by Roman Catholic bishops in favor of traditional marriage.
Bishops also spoke out sharply against President Obama's mandate that most employers provide health insurance that covers artificial contraception. Critics accused the bishops of going so far that they appeared to be backing Republican Mitt Romney.
The bishops insist their complaints were not partisan. Still, they face four more years with an administration many of them characterized as a threat to the church.

"We've always maintained our openness to dialogue, and that will continue," said Baltimore Archbishop William Lori, who leads the bishops' committee on religious liberty. Regarding the birth-control mandate, Lori said, "As this evolves, as rule-making gets a little more clear, then our range of options will be clearer."
The bishops reviewed plans they developed well before Election Day to expand outreach to Latino Catholics on traditional marriage and organize events on the importance of religious freedom.
Obama won the overall Catholic vote, 50 percent to 48 percent, but Catholics split on ethnic lines. White Catholics supported Romney, 59 to 40 percent. However, Latino Catholics went for Obama, 75 to 21 percent.
Last week, Maine, Maryland and Washington became the first states ever to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote. In Minnesota, voters rejected placing a ban on gay-marriage in the state constitution, while 30 other states ban it.
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, the newly installed leader of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, said gay-marriage opponents were outspent by gay-rights groups, and bishops are grappling with how they can be more persuasive.
Surveys by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life have found that the number of Americans who say they have no religion is at a high of 20 percent, while the number of former Catholics is so large that ex-Catholics collectively include more people than many denominations.
"The election is a symptom of a much larger problem," Cordileone said. "Most people don't understand what marriage is."
Equally Blessed, a coalition of Catholic groups that advocate for gays and lesbians, including Dignity USA and New Ways Ministry, said it had hoped the votes on gay marriage last week would "drive home the need for the bishops to take seriously the concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Catholics and their families."

Andrew Medichini, Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Cardinals heard a final appeal for unity Tuesday before sequestering themselves in the Sistine Chapel for the conclave to elect the next pope, as they celebrated Mass amid divisions and uncertainty over who will lead the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic Church and tend to its many problems.
A Gregorian chant wafting through St. Peter's Basilica, the 115 cardinal electors filed in wearing bright red vestments, many looking grim as if the burden of the imminent vote was weighing on them.
A few hundred people braved thunderstorms and pouring rain to watch the Mass on giant TV screens in St. Peter's Square. A handful knelt in prayer, eyes clenched and hands clasped.
In his homily, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, called for unity within the church, a not-so-veiled appeal to the cardinal electors to put their differences aside for the good of the church and the next pope.
"Each of us is therefore called to cooperate with the Successor of Peter, the visible foundation of such an ecclesial unity," Sodano said.
He was interrupted by applause from the pews — not so much from the cardinals — when he referred to the "beloved and venerated" Benedict XVI and his "brilliant" pontificate.
Benedict's surprise resignation — the first in 600 years by a pope — has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed the deep divisions among cardinals who are grappling with whether they need a manager who can clean up the Vatican's dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith.
"Let us pray for the cardinals who are to elect the Roman pontiff," read one of the prayers during the Mass. "May the Lord fill them with his Holy Spirit with understanding and good counsel, wisdom and discernment."
One of the faithful outside alluded to the huge challenge facing the next pontiff.
"It's a moment of crisis for the church so we have to show support of the new pope," said Veronica Herrera, a real estate agent from Mexico who traveled to Rome for the conclave with her husband and daughter.
In the afternoon, the cardinals will file into the frescoed Sistine Chapel singing the Litany of Saints, a hypnotic chant imploring the intercession of saints to help them choose a pope. They will hear a meditation by an elderly Maltese cardinal, take an oath of secrecy, then in all probability cast their first ballots.
Assuming they vote, the first puffs of smoke should emerge from the chapel chimney by 8 p.m. (1900 GMT; 3 p.m. EDT) — black for no pope, white if a pope has been chosen.
While few people expect a pontiff to be elected on the first ballot, the Vatican was ready: In the Room of Tears off the Sistine Chapel where the pope goes immediately after his election, three sizes of white cassocks hung from a clothes rack. Underneath, seven white shoe boxes were piled, presumably containing the various sizes of the red leather shoes that popes traditionally wear. The room gets its name from the weight of the job thrust upon the new pontiff.
The papal tailor Gammarelli delivered the clothes on Monday to ensure that the newly elected pope could change immediately into papal white as soon as he accepts the election. With the words "Habemus Papam" — or "We have a pope" — the pontiff then appears on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to greet the crowd for the first time.
The conclave is taking place amid more upheaval and uncertainty than the church has seen in decades: There's no front-runner, no indication how long voting will last and no sense that a single man has what it takes to be pope.

BERKELEY - The No. 5 Cal women's water polo team closed out its 2013 season by taking fifth place at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships with a 12-8 win over sixth-seeded San Jose State on Sunday at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
The Bears finished the season with an overall record of 17-7.
Cal coach Richard Corso started all six of his seniors - Emily Csikos, Breda Vosters, Dana Ochsner, Kirstn Mase, Taylor Dodson and Remington Price - as they played their final game for the Bears. Fittingly, Cal was led by Vosters, Ochsner and Price, who each scored two goals.
Senior Emily Csikos scored once for the Bears, giving her 215 in her career. Csikos leaves Cal as the program's all-time leading scorer. Vosters finished with 157 career goals, good for sixth on the Bears' all-time scoring list.
After Ochsner and the Spartans' Victoria Smith exchanged early goals, the Bears scored three in a row on goals by Ochsner and sophomores Victoria Williams and Michelle Caron to make it 4-1 at the end of the first quarter. San Jose St. (11-12) never got closer than two the rest of the way.
The Spartans' Bianca Seyfert scored early in the third quarter to cut Cal's lead to 7-5, but the Bears then scored five of the next six goals to take command.
Goalie Savanna Smith made nine saves for the Bears.
Second-seeded USC won the tournament championship with an 11-7 win over top-seeded Stanford in the finals. Junior Hannah Buckling scored four goals for the Trojans (24-1). Senior Melissa Seidemann led the Cardinal (27-2) with three goals.
In the Third Place game, No. 4 UCLA defeated No. 3 Arizona State 10-7. Junior Becca Dorst and freshman Rachel Fattal led the Bruins (26-6) with two goals apiece. Senior Alicia Brightwell and sophomore Ao Gao had three goals each for the Sun Devils (26-7).

Chop Stop Grand-Opens in West Hollywood Tomorrow, Now Serving "Chopurrito" Bowls
This is the third location of Mark Kulkis's salad-slinging empire.
This is the third location of Mark Kulkis's salad-slinging empire.
Parent company IDG is also opening with Gino Angelini in L.A. this fall, and adding an Abu Dhabi outpost of their steakhouse.
The bar includes reclaimed wood from Sinatra's old L.A. home.
The chain has struck a deal with Westfield, with plans to introduce a Sherman Oaks and Century City location, along with a pizza truck.
The opening is the first step in the chain's plan for 39 stores in the area in the next two years.
This has to be good news when it's 20 degrees hotter than Scoops Westside.
No longer must moviegoers suffer "the brown water at Kelly's Fudge."
The chef cites the state's product and his Masterchef shooting schedule as prime motivators.
Which raises the odds that UCLA could be next to get the brand's new create-it-yourself grilling concept.
The next location will occupy space in the $40 million reopening of the Figat7th shopping complex.
The new location will feature Umami hot dogs, milkshakes, and chips.
The iconic Southern California chain will also open in Dubai and Las Vegas this year to counter stagnant growth.
The new address will mark the fast-casual Korean chain's thirteenth global location.
The co-owner also explains that he'd do another restaurant with M.B. Post's David LeFevre whenever the chef is ready.
Longer hours for booze service, too.
Better chicken, without the bitter taste of hate and persecution.
The new restaurant plans a Southern plantation theme, which doesn't sound like the greatest idea.
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill will replace Bradley Ogden at Caesar's Palace.
The second location of Andre Guerrero's "slow fast food" stop will occupy a more contemporary space on Vine.
The yet-to-be-named project is coming in with help from James Rosenfield, owner of Brentwood Country Mart.

New Wave staff
Buzz Podewell, a member of the theater faculty at Tulane University for nearly 40 years, died March 29 of lung cancer at his New Orleans home at the age of 69.
Podewell often took the role of "pit orchestra," playing banjo throughout the performances. While rehearsal time was limited, Podewell said there would be room for improvisation during the numerous scheduled performances each summer.
"That's what keeps it fresh for the actors," Podewell said.
Podewell also was a co-founder and former artistic director of the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, and he was the longtime director of Tulane Center Stage, the theater department's former summer-stock company.
He authored a two-volume study of time and place in Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Watch.
Over his career, Podewell directed about 200 plays at Tulane University and with other theater companies. His directorial debut for the Shakespeare Festival in 2010 was for Love's Labor's Lost starring his daughter, Jessica Podewell, now an adjunct assistant professor in the Tulane Department of Theatre and Dance who continues the legacy of the Patchwork Players. His wife is the musician and singer Banu Gibson.
Plans for a memorial celebration will be announced at a future date. For those who wish to pay tribute to Buzz Podewell, the family suggests donations to MusiCares. Affiliated with the Grammys, MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need.

Previously posted by at World of virtual fashion – Something New.
The ready to wear collections for Spring/Summer 2016 were peppered with fresh, sleek jumpsuits. Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, and Naeem Khan showed us again why we love the jumpsuit. Versatile, quick and easy, these one-piece wonders really spice up our wardrobe. Today, I'm bringing you one of my choices for Spring/Summer 2016, a great jumpsuit by Prism called, "Logan". This strapless beauty has a well fitted bodice of deep black, accentuated with a simple band belt, the bottom done in a floral pattern on a texture that resembles waxed cotton. I can practically feel how comfy this little number is and I know this summer I will pull it out of my closet to wear again and again. With the "Logan Jumpsuit Set", I'm showing you red but it is available in other colors, comes a sexy shoe in black. It goes with the jumpsuit perfectly as does the jewelry set I chose to wear called, "Kiowa" by Elemental Earth Designs, in coral red. The bold chunky stones are a nice contrast to the delicate floral print of the jumpsuit. I finished my look off with a full, slightly retro bob with side swept bangs by Milk, called "Belladonna". I am always looking for hairstyles that aren't too long so as not to interfere with the back of a garment or make posing difficult during a runway show. This one fits the bill perfectly. Lastly, if you are out and about looking for a nice place to spend some time with your significant other, this SIM, called "Uzuri Park", is a lovely place to do so. With a beautiful little chapel, several ruins, wildflowers, foot bridges, and a setting on the water to share a glass of wine, it's a great place for a date.
Till next time…..

The Best Summer for Kids: No Camp, No Plans
Are summer vacations too structured for kids? Our columnist thinks so.
As I write this, our 7-year-old daughter is finishing her last week of first grade.
Our local school has filled the past seven days with a dazzling succession of back-to-back social events: teddy-bear picnics, pajama day, an ice-cream social and an author's tea. Each day, Neva returned home bubbling with excitement as she recounted the day's celebration.
But that is all coming to a screeching halt.
As summer sets in, many of our friends, neighbors and co-workers have planned an action-packed array of fun activities to keep their kids occupied—from day camps and T-ball tournaments to summer trips to just about everywhere you can imagine. As for us, other than our annual one-week family pilgrimage to my aunt and uncle's lake house in neighboring New Hampshire, we've got nothing on the summer calendar. Zero. Nada.
As I hear about all of these wonderful social schedules, a part of me wonders if we should have lined up more activities for our daughter this summer, not just for her sake, but for her father's as well. Summer is officially my husband's "busy season" as a stay-at-home parent. Without the six-hour school day, there's no time to run errands, work on home projects or just relax. He is also the one who will bear the brunt of complaints about boredom or "having nothing to do."
A small part of our decision is financially motivated. We are trying to save up to replace the furnace in our 100-year-old house before winter arrives. Decent summer day camps in our area will easily set us back $1,000 for the summer. (When asked about summer plans, we like to tell people that Neva will be attending "Camp Energy Star" this year, where we will all sit around the new energy-efficient furnace singing Kumbaya and eating raw marshmallows.)
But a bigger part of me questions whether we have lost sight of the benefits of a lazy summer. Have our lives really become so complicated that we need to map out so much of our kids' vacation time? Isn't part of the whole point of summer tied to the simple joy of not having so much to do?
Growing up, summer camp or family trips generally weren't in the budget for me and my sister. Our parents both worked, but we lived close to my paternal grandmother's house, where we would spend most of our summer days. Yet I can't recall that we were ever at a loss for entertainment. We set up lemonade stands in my grandmother's neighborhood, played "Land of the Lost" with our friends who lived there, and even wrote and performed our own plays.
We enjoyed the blessing of unfettered time, of mental space in which to stretch out our brains and indulge our creativity. We also learned to entertain ourselves and to make our own fun, a life skill that I think has helped us even into adulthood.
I realize that for many working parents, summer vacation places a considerable strain on resources. Day camps aren't a luxury for them, but a necessity. We're lucky to have one full-time parent and a set of grandparents who live within a five-mile radius and enjoy spending time with their granddaughter.
Naturally, we're not going to relegate Neva to sitting in her room all summer playing solitaire. My husband, Clay, has reached out to one or two other parents whose kids are around at least part of the summer and hopes to get the kids together semi-regularly, even if only to play in the backyard.
He's also hoping to take her out for some day trips to local museums, a nearby lake or just to explore the area's many nature trails. I'm sure that there will probably also be an impromptu barbecue or two (or 10) in the mix. The man does love to grill.
That said, I also understand that Clay may not be quite as enthusiastic about the prospect of 2½ months of playing family cruise director to our daughter. We may yet try to find a reasonably priced one-week day camp or summer class, so Clay can focus on finishing painting the outside of the house. I also hope that I can take off a few Fridays or Mondays throughout the summer to spend time with Neva, even if it's just doing a puzzle together or making "spoon people" (I happen to be a master of the oddball craft project).
A friend also suggested we build an "idea jar" for those days when our daughter pleads boredom. Neva will write down a number of fun activities that she could do on little slips of paper and store them in the jar. (The first activity? Fill the idea jar.) Whenever she's at a loss for something fun to do, she can just pick a slip of paper from the jar.
When Neva is a teenager, I think it will be more important to provide more structure around her summer vacations—a summer job, perhaps, or sports or volunteering.
But this summer, for the most part, we're going to let it ride and see where each day takes us. Perhaps a little summer laziness would do us all some good.
