View in portable document format.
Associate Professor Kent Butler of the School of Architecture and the graduate program in community and regional planning (CRP) died in a hiking accident on May 13, 2011. Professor Butler was sixty years old at the time of his death, and he had been a faculty member at The University of Texas at Austin for thirty-three years. He always seemed to be smiling and was known for spending generous time with his family, students, and colleagues. Kent was, above all, dedicated to the care and love of his family. He is survived by his beloved children, Lana Butler, Emily Butler, Josh Butler, and Nick Kincaid; and his beloved wife, Christy; son-in-law, Dave Kaz; brother, Bruce Butler; sister-in-law, Phyllis Butler; sister, Lind Butler; brother-in-law, Bill Connolly; and an enormous extended family and host of friends.
Kent was the ultimate planner: he was an effective and engaging speaker with broad expertise in community planning and resource management, and he was connected to, and respected by, a large and varied network of professionals and advocates. He was a tireless community activist in the best sense, initiating many collaborative projects and giving voice to many disparate groups around a common issue. Kent's ability to gain agreement, if not consensus, over sensitive environmental and water resource issues arising from the growth of communities was widely recognized. Already accomplished, he furthered his capacity to enhance collaboration through certification in mediation and training in public policy dispute resolution through The University of Texas at Austin School of Law.
A native Texan, much of Kent's work was focused on local and statewide sustainability initiatives. Some of his projects of note included the regional vision for the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, the creation of a system to evaluate proposed large-scale coastal erosion and control, the promotion of the Texas Triangle as a megaregion, the development of the first regional habitat conservation plan for endangered species in the Balcones Canyonlands of Central Texas, and water planning for the establishment of the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District.
Kent completed bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in environmental science, land and water resources management, and land resources, respectively, at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and began his academic career as an assistant professor at The University of Texas at Austin in 1978. He served as director of the CRP program from 1993 to 1997 and again from 2004 until the time of his death. As director, Kent oversaw and managed two major curriculum overhauls, an accreditation cycle, and a marked expansion of faculty resources. He had also served as the associate dean for research and operations for the School of Architecture since 2004. Kent took a two-year sabbatical from 1986 to 1988 to help create, and serve as director of, the Natural Resources Division for the Lower Colorado River Authority.
During his time at The University of Texas of Austin, Professor Butler taught twenty-one different graduate courses and one undergraduate course, with subject matters varying from water resources and coastal zone management to urban infrastructure as well as a variety of other environmental topics. He served on eighteen dissertation committees and over two hundred report and thesis committees. His numerous consulting and research projects, as well as community service projects, always sought to extend the cutting edge of practice and enriched his course offerings with state-of-the-environmental-art insights. Kent was one of the first on campus to apply Geographic Information Systems technology to the presentation and analysis of urban resources.
Kent's academic and professional works were substantial. He wrote hundreds of reports and analyses for clientele, which ranged geographically from cities in Texas to Mexico, China, The Netherlands, and beyond. Similarly, he wrote hundreds of papers for symposia and conferences. Kent co-edited the student edition of Planning and Urban Design Standards, a fundamental text for the planning profession. He spoke internationally in Grenoble, France; Suzhou, China; Mexico City; Turin, Italy; Montreal, Canada; and Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico. A considerable portion of his work was funded through grants totaling more than $2,714,000.
Kent Butler's crowning achievement was the creation of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. The Balcones Canyonlands Habitat Preservation Plan represented the first functional application of the Federal Endangered Species Act to prohibit development of vacant urban real estate. Today, Kent's Balcones Canyonlands accomplishment is the model throughout the United States for enlightened approaches to protection of the urban and surrounding environment.
Words from former CRP faculty colleague, Professor Dowell Myers of the University of Southern California, best sum up the meaning of Kent's life within the CRP program in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin as well as to the wider academic and urban community:
Kent Butler is one of the unsung heroes of planning. I dare say that legions of planners, as well as department chairs and deans from across the country, have shared my experience of learning from Kent. Kent was an activist at bringing environmental science into the service of planning. His specialty was water resources and he pursued a professional goal of implementation, without which planning can have no success… His efforts and impacts were profound…
That Kent's pervasive influence was accomplished with a quiet and unassuming manner, commensurate with the best of humanitarian approaches today, resonates loudly as his legacy to the CRP program and the School of Architecture.

@ Claes...man I hope you are right in four heads are better than one.
Rossi was not paid to win, he was paid to develop the bike and Ducati couldn't keep up.
I'm not sure whether they went to Ducati confident of mastering it, after all the whole World could see that only one rider could, and then only sometimes. They were confident of developing it though.
I hope the man upstairs looks after Dovi, he's Ducatis' best hope.

The system has a page where the user can search through items by specifying a start date and end date. These are plain dates (Without the time component). For the user it seems most intuitive for the end date to be inclusive (so include all items for that end date as well).
CreateDate of the items however does contain a time component in the data store. In practice this means that we need to translate this timeless end date to a 0:00:00 hour date for the next day. This way we can write the following query:
FROM Items
WHERE CreateDate >= @STARTDATE
AND CreateDate < @ENDDATE
Transforming this end date is as easy as writing this line of code:
Nou my question is:
should I consider this last line of code business logic and should it be placed in the Business Layer, or should I consider this line a piece of 'model binding logic' and should it be placed in the Presentation Layer?
When it is placed it in the BL, this means that the BL knows about the presentation layer, since the way the value is supplied is something that is interface specific. On the other hand, since the operation is defined as a DTO in the business layer, I could also see this object as interface that should be convenient for the presentation layer.
This question might even be philosofical in nature, since there are probably multiple ways to look at this, and the actual conversion code is trivial. I'm interested to hear why you think it should be placed in one layer and not in the other.
I don't expect the application's architecture should have any effect on the answer to this question. But to give a more complete picture, the architecture is based on commands and queries and the presentation layer creates a query object that are handled by the business layer. The PL code would typically look like this:
public Action Filter(DateTime start, DateTime end)
var query = new GetItemsByStartEndEndDateQuery
StartDate = start.Date,
EndDate = end.Date.AddDays(1)
var items = this.queryProcessor.Handle(query);
return this.View(items);
Or when possible, (MVC) model binding is used to simply model bind the command and query objects (which is very convenient):
public Action Filter(GetItemsByStartEndEndDateQuery query)
var items = this.queryProcessor.Handle(query);
return this.View(items);
Would your answer change when there are multiple users involded (a WCF layer and a MVC layer, for instance)?

I added a pit trap to my defenses the other night. It's a long, narrow bridge over a ten level high hole, activated by a pressure plate on the far side. It takes several steps to activate, but it's been very effective against large (30+) goblin / troll invasions. The leader steps on the plate, and about ten beats later the bridge dumps all of the goblins following him into the pit, which inflicts very serious injuries if not outright death. This limits the groups that make it past the bridge to groups of 3-4, which usually die quickly in the weapon traps, and the weapon traps have plenty of time to reset for the next group.
I still wish the marksdwarves in the archer towers would shoot, though.

Monthly Report
That's half the money he made last year or something crazy like that, in one month.April Donations: $16104.49
Well, he did make his first release in what, two years, on April 1st. The really amazing thing is that he was making any money at all from donations for a project that was old and very much niche. I expect it'll show the same sort of slope that regular software sales do, dropping off fairly rapidly from that initial bulge.
- Gus
Amazing what restoring our faith in the game's development can do, I suppose. I know I chipped in when a new release hit, if only to remind Toady "If you don't take two years to update, more people will give you money because they believe this product exists." Though he's still not on schedule with his old twice a day updates, he's made nice progress.
I'm just waiting for fish to get fixed before jumping back in. And blunt weapons would be nice as a fix too, I suppose.
People have pumped more than 100k into this freeware game voluntarily since 2007.
From what Toady writes, on April 1st alone 83 people have donated an average of more than $40 each - for a bug infested game with a horrible UI and without graphics.
What has the world come to?
Shows the value that can adhere to doing something more than slightly different.
SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in April! Holy cow!Originally Posted by ToadyOne
If anyone doubted the DF community before, I think this certainly highlights how awesome they are :)
Are the bugs in the latest release the sort of thing that would turn off a newcomer to the game? I think I'd like to try it out, but if it makes sense to wait for things to stabilize, I'll do that.
I would try calistas's tutorial to get the basic which uses an older build, the game is head scratchy enough without trying to figure out if something is broken cause you are doing it wrong or a bug.
Sounds good. Thanks, Wolff.
Wow, good cash for toady! I hope the April donations demonstrate how if he releases a new build he will get the moneyz. It might help focus his mind on features rather than beard growing and dirt and whatnot....
....aww heck, I can't resist his love of the obscure! I want features and growing nails! I want it all!
I graphed the donations over the last year and half over on afteractionreporter.com - man - 16k is THREE TIMES his highest value month in recent memory! Nice!
I'd say the current version is fairly playable. Of course, I didn't play 40d, so I don't know what I'm missing in terms of performance. I'm running this on a machine with a Q6600, and it runs at about 10-12 FPS with a 200 dwarf fort. It's really CPU intensive.
- Gus
I hope this convinces him to "hire" someone to help him! I think he is a being a bit stubborn on that front and it is starting to really impact how much one (two I know, but only one actually codes iirc) person can really do.
I think I found my problem, Dwarf Therapist bug report.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set "mining" labor on for a dwarf who does not currently have it enabled
2. Check active job of dwarf in DF
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Dwarf should pickup equipment (pickaxe) and begin mining.
Instead the dwarf continues doing whatever he was doing anyways. The mining
labor is shown to be "on" in DF, yet the dwarf won't begin doing it until
the labor is toggled via DF.
Note this also occurs when setting Wood Cutting and Hunting.
I put hire in quotes because I know it's certainly not enough to actually pay someone. I meant is as in let someone else from the community with dedication and coding skills to help him
I'd be surprised if anyone could help him. He's someone with no professional experience, who has coded this as his first "big" game, by himself, for more than five years.
The code is so bad that replacing the drawing code (either with the code rewrite or the DF Accelerator opengl.dll hack) can lead to 50% performance improvements. ... For a 20fps game!!!
actually your example just proves the point that there are people able and willing to help with little or no compensation and with little to no direct access to the code.
Look I am not hating on him or his methods, just giving some constructive criticism for a game I love and am willing to pay for!

One criticism frequently leveled at nets including MTV, VH1 and CMT centers on how far these cablers have strayed from their original focus — music.
While this observation certainly holds weight given that shows like "Teen Mom" and "Mob Wives" are ratings gets on those nets, the trio of Viacom cablers have not lost sight of the importance of music in their brand, as seen with the launch of the "artist opportunities hub" for MTV, VH1 and CMT.
Online platforms launched today — Artists.MTV, Artists.VH1, and Artists.CMT — are part of Viacom Music and Logo Group's Connected Content Network and let artists create accounts that can lead to broader fan reach and increased exposure on the networks' airwaves.
Given that the Viacom footprint is deep (reaching over 100 million homes on-air, while the Connected Content Network reaches a monthly aud of almost 50 million visitors), this kind of…

Hopalong[1] Tentacles is a bartender at the Krusty Kantina. He first appeared in the episode "Pest of the West" and in the short "Spurskate." He plays the piano during a song by putting 5 cents into the coin slot. Like his descendant, Squidward, he thinks SpongeBuck (SpongeBob toward Squidward) is annoying.
He sells milk, root beer and most likely other beverages. It's unknown where he actually lives at, he might be staying at the Dead-Eye Inn. He thinks William Krabs is cheap just like the real Mr. Krabs. His name is a parody of Hopalong Cassidy, a fictional cowboy created by author Clarence E. Mulford. He is voiced by Rodger Bumpass.
He is very similar to Squidward in appearance but he has a handle-bar mustache and a vest and brown shirt. He is best known for putting five cents into the piano to play a song.
His attitude is just like Squidward's. He dislikes SpongeBuck, much like the present-time Squidward feels about SpongeBob.

Anna Nicole Smith's son found deadAnna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son has mysteriously died in the Bahamas.
Daniel Smith's body was discovered on Sunday (10.09.06) - three days after the 38-year-old former Playboy Playmate gave birth to a daughter.
Anna Nicole's attorney, Howard K. Stern, said in a statement: "We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor.
"Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."
Anna Nicole - real name Vicki Lynn Hogan - shot to fame after being named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993.
The following year, she met 89-year-old wheelchair-bound oil tycoon J. Marshall Howard in a strip club and they married soon after.
When he died 14 months later, Anna Nicole and the billionaire's son, E. Pierce Marshall, became embroiled in a vicious court battle as they fought over his estate.
The case came to an end earlier this year after the US Supreme Court awarded Anna Nicole millions of dollars. E. Pierce died in June 2006.

Kodak are going through some rough times, but the 2012 fiscal year has been dismal for the company. Kodak told investors in their annual report that they are looking to come out of their bankruptcy in the summer of 2013, a little earlier than expected.
The company posted a large $402 million loss for the quarter gone, but an even bigger loss of $1.38 billion for the 2012 fiscal year. These losses are mounting, at nearly double the numbers from 2011. Kodak CEO, Antonio M. Perez was upbeat on the news, saying:
Thanks to the talent and dedication of our employees, our 2012 performance was on track or ahead of our adjusted EBITDA and cash projections, and we have remained in compliance with the covenants of our debtor-in-possession facility, laying the foundation for emergence as a profitable, sustainable company.

Dial in the fit.
A two-bolt clamp assembly allows a wide range of angle adjustment for Zipp's Service Course Seatpost. So much so, that you can perfect your saddle tilt, and, once adjusted, the two-bolt assembly will simply not slip out of adjustment. But, that's not the extent of the Service Course's features.
Zipp engineers paid special attention to the length of the clamp assembly. On the lower portion, it's designed to be a bit longer than what you might see on other seatposts. Essentially, this is to support the saddle rails if you favor to ride at the rearward position. And in this day and age of super-light rails, we view any extra insurance against damage as a welcomed friend.
For this iteration of the Service Course, the seatpost forgoes carbon fiber in favor of a one-piece, 3D forged design. If you pay close attention to the Grand Tours, you'll notice that this is a reoccurring trend in the peloton. The reason is simple. For the cost of a few grams, the seatpost becomes stiffer, stronger, and more comfortable that its carbon fiber counterparts. In fact, we find that road vibration is better dispersed, while power is better conserved during hard seated exertions.
The Zipp Service Course Seatpost is available in both 27.2 and 31.6mm diameters and in 330 and 350mm lengths. Additionally, it's being offered with either a 0 or 20 degree setback.

Great seatpost for the price!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wanted a cost effective but non carbon alternative seatpost to match my all black Zipp 202's and Zipp cockpit. Not a bad price and who cares about the grams. It's how fast your engine is!!
I just put in an order for a Ridley bike from Comp Cyclist. It comes with the zero setback Zipp Service Course seatpost. Is it compatible with a saddle with 9 x 7mm carbon rails? I plan to order a saddle with carbon rails, and I believe this might be important to know. Thank you in advance for your time!
Quality Post
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Two bolt design gets the job done. Takes a bit to set things in place, but once there your saddle won't budge. The finish on this entry level seat-post is a beautiful matte black. The next level SL post is a beautiful polished deep black. Nice gear.
Sturdy, Sleek Seatpost
I'm more of a pragmatist when it comes to seatposts, so I tend to eschew the weight weenie ti hardware and go for more sensical designs. That is one of the reasons why I like the Service Course seat post. This is a really well built post, although it is not a terribly light post. The set up is a bit finicky since the fixing bolt is in a recessed part of the post, but this makes for a sleek look once everything is all put together. The notching on the clamp makes it easy to dial in the saddle angle but has proven to securely hold the saddles position.

* Your file extension may not be a know video file extension or it may not be listed in the extension list. In that you can add your file extensions in Settings 》 Lists 》File extensions.
* If a file with the name .nomedia presents in a folder or in any of it's parent folders. Disable the option " Recognise nomedia " from Settings 》 Lists
* If you have excluded the path or any of it's parent path in video folders settings. Just go to the Settings 》Lists 》 Video folders.

For the holidays pour a wine that has an interesting history.
The Ethiopian Queen starts the first desert U.P.S., using a new means of commercial transportation, the camel. Her favorite beverage is MEAD! (fermented honey). High scoring Meads are made by the Bargetto Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. They are: Chaucer's Mead and Raspberry Mead, both made without any artificial ingredients, just honey and fruits. Bargettos phone number is (831) 475-2258.
Where did Primitivo originate?
Italy—Primitivo is identical genetically with California Zinfandel. So the story is over. The vine came from Italy. Right? WHOA! There's a problem.
All records indicate Primitivo appeared much later in Italy than it did in the USA. Implication: Primitivo came to Italy from the USA, and NOT vice versa.
Croatia—Mali Plavac, also written Plavac Mali, is genetically similar, but not identical to Zinfandel, Prof. Carole Meredith, U.C.Davis, advises us. Thus, the ancestors of California's original Zinfandel may be lurking in a Croatian, not an Italian vineyard.
Good Primitivo is made by Sobon Estate, phone (209) 245-5156.
"Cigare" is French for cigar, and "volant" means flying. The early 50's were a slightly hysterical era, with a lot of concern about the imminent arrival of aliens from our skies. There were an inordinate number of sightings in both Europe and North America in 1953 and 1954 of unidentified objects.
The village of Chateauneuf-du-Pepe was indeed so apprehensive of unscheduled landings in their vineyard, they adopted an ordinance prohibiting the landing of flying cigares (unidentified flying objects, sometimes in the shape of dirigibles). The ordinance has worked brilliantly in averting this grave danger.
Le Cigare Volant pays homage not only to the wines of the celebrated appellation, but to all forays into the world of the magical and unknown.

Legend tells us that knight Sir Gaspar de Sterimberg, returning to the Rhone Valley in 1224 AD from Persia, brought the Syrah vine. He became a hermit, building a small stone home on top of what is now called Hermitage hill. The knight's wine first appeared in California as a varietal Syrah at Joseph Phelps Vineyard in 1974, and they still make a very good one, 707-963-2745.

Nassau County police are looking for a pair of gunmen wanted for a South Hempstead home invasion on Thursday morning.
Police said two men armed with handguns entered a May Street home through an unlocked front door, walked into the bedroom and demanded money from a 69-year-old woman shortly before noon.
One of the suspects ransacked the home, stealing cash, jewelry, electronics and cell phones—including the house phone. A family member returned home shortly later and called police.
The thieves fled the scene in a vehicle in an unknown direction. The victim was not injured.
There was no description of the suspects, one of whom was wearing a mask.
First Squad detectives ask anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.

Mysterious Toy Story 3 Easter Egg Poster
By Josh Tyler 2010-04-01 23:46:43 comments
Do Germans celebrate April Fools? Im assuming they have far too much sense, which means this strange Easter Egg poster for Toy Story 3 which was posted on PixarBlog is absolutely real.
Run their blog post on the one sheet through Babel Fish and youll discover a vague reference to something hidden behind the egg. Really thats the only thing that makes any sense. Easter, the holiday happens this month while Toy Story 3 is released in June. Theres no holiday connection there. But an Easter Egg can also indicate some sort hidden item or message. So whats Pixar hiding? Is one of their new toys as giant chocolate bunny? Somehow I doubt it. Heres the poster:

Goals from Gray and Tustain get Webb's side another victory as they cement their play-off spot (From This Is Wiltshire)
Goals from Gray and Tustain get Webb's side another victory as they cement their play-off spot
5:30am Monday 7th April 2014 in By Tom Bassam, Chief sports writer
DAVE Webb's Supermarine picked up their third win in a row as they beat lowly Thatcham Town in Berkshire.
It was a doubly good weekend for Webb as fellow play-off chasers Paulton Rovers could only manage a draw at home to Didcot Town. Marine's win and that other result mean that even if Tiverton, Shortwood and Paulton all win their games in-hand Webb's men will still retain their place in the Southern League South & West play-off zone.
The away side's win came courtesy of goals from Joey Tustain and Bradley Gray in a game that was deprived of quality at times due to a playing surface that was not in peak condition.
The first half at Waterside Park was scoreless, with Supermarine trying out a five-man midfield. After the break Webb made the switch to a 4-3-3, which brought about more chances for the visitors.
This eventually led to Gray's opener, when the forward nodded in from a Josh Morse cross. Chris Taylor's wonderful pass made the second for Tustain who added an exclamation point to the move with slick turn and powerful finish.
Marine boss Webb was chuffed that his second-half roll of the dice had come off.
"I'm really pleased, just trying to deal with every game as it comes. Thankfully we've got a week off now, the last three have been big games, three clean sheets and scoring goals," said Webb.
"We were playing five-man midfield, we decided to take Sam Morris off and bring Danny Hilder, to go 4-3-3.
"It doesn't always come off but we felt it wasn't working. It's probably the first time Josh Parsons and Ashley Edenborough haven't scored in a while, we thought we'd change it and bring on Danny to give us something else.
"I'm pleased for Brad to be fair, he fitted in great deserved his goal. What's been pleasing recently is that we've been doing well without Dave Bampton, who's been out for the last three games where we've kept clean sheets."
Webb's side now have a week off before they travel to Stratford Town. It is their first week without an evening game since February and offers the chance for Marine to rest up ahead of their run-in and potential play-off fixtures.
"No we'll have a restful week and the lads will know they've given themselves a fantastic opportunity to reach the play-offs again."

We don't yet know Chris Petersen well enough to be certain about his favorite food, let alone his disciplinary habits amid scrutiny. He has been the Washington football coach for four months. He has had time only to cobble together his first recruiting class and direct his first spring practices.
This is still the stand-and-say-your-name phase of the relationship.
Yet Petersen is already forced to answer one of the most difficult, cumbersome questions that any coach will encounter.
How you gonna punish one of your high-profile, misbehaving players?
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
Only his first impression — his first meaningful one — is at stake.
And whatever he does, he's guaranteed either to tick off a portion of the fan base, or lead people to make sweeping generalizations about him based on one conspicuous reaction.
Wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow's angry act is now Petersen's headache. The legal system has spoken. Stringfellow was sentenced Wednesday to five days on a work crew, fined $693 (which can be paid off with 70 hours of community service) and ordered to attend anger-management counseling after pleading guilty to charges related to altercations he had Feb. 2, the night the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Quarterback Cyler Miles also was involved in the incidents, but prosecutors didn't charge him because of insufficient evidence about his role.
Petersen suspended Stringfellow and Miles upon learning of the situation. They have missed the entire spring session. But now the new UW coach is on the clock to advance his punishment from indefinite suspension to final judgment.
As most coaches, Petersen has been vague and focused mostly on developing his available players. It's unfair to judge his response thus far because this is standard operating procedure. Though he has fended off questions and given few clues about his plans for further discipline, he did provide some insight about two weeks ago.
"There's no reason to rush anything, and we're always going to do the right thing," Petersen said. "I know everyone thinks they have their opinion on what the right thing is, but we're going to do the right thing by the school, by this program and by the kids as well.
"I've said this before: This is such a political job and I'm never going to make decisions because of political reasons to make me look better, because you think, 'Oh, that's the right thing.' Well, that's not why we're in this thing; we're in (it) to do the right thing on all accounts."
You could interpret that as Petersen leaving the door open to allow misbehaving players back into the program. But if there's one thing Petersen has sold convincingly since he arrived at Washington, it's that he is a principled man who will run a classy program and develop young men the right way.
At Boise State, he proved many times that he'll suspend players, starters even, during the season for misconduct. Discipline — not just obeying the law, but acting with great self-control on and off the field — is a cornerstone of how he builds a program.
Considering his track record, it would be shocking if Petersen didn't do what he deems right, even if it diminishes the team on paper.
He's better off investing in the whole rather than any individual, especially in a game with as many moving pieces as football.
If it were my program, Miles, the backup quarterback a year ago and the previous favorite to succeed Keith Price, would be reinstated soon, provided that he has been remorseful and learned from the experience. Stringfellow, who might be the Huskies' most talented receiver at 6 feet 3 and 225 pounds, would be headed for, at least, a multiple-game suspension. His reinstatement wouldn't be guaranteed. His status would be determined after evaluating how serious he is about changing.
The early results are promising. Stringfellow said the right things in court, though admittedly he had great incentive to do so. And the words of his attorney, James Burnell, ring true.
"He's got a lot of potential," Burnell said Wednesday. "Why don't you let him have it?"
But it's the abuse of a female that makes this case so difficult for Stringfellow. Fighting a male Seahawks fan that night was mean-spirited and stupid. Admitting to "intentionally touching" a female victim "in a harmful manner," however, is another level of despicable. Stringfellow confessed he destroyed the female's camera, and she also briefly lost consciousness after the altercation. It's an awful crime that will permanently damage Stringfellow in the court of public opinion.
What about in Petersen's court? His voice is the next one that matters. And his actions will set the tone for how he's viewed as a disciplinarian at Washington. Many leaders in sports have a zero-tolerance policy for violence against women, and for those who don't, there should be significant pressure on them to have one. Where does Petersen stand?
The easiest thing for Petersen would be to get rid of Stringfellow. But what if this is a kid whose life would change for the better with a second chance?
Petersen has vowed to do the right thing. But in the public arena, "right" is highly debatable.
You could say the new coach is in a no-win situation, but the Huskies didn't hire a man with a .885 career winning percentage to succumb to the difficulty of a decision.

The Rebuild
by Laura • June 16, 2013 • Divorce & Break-Ups • 4 Comments
If you read my last couple of posts, you know that life in the big city hasn't exactly been going swimmingly lately.
As a person, I find myself pretty tough and mature 90% of the time. Unfortunately, that still leaves about 10% emotional train wreck.
There are a lot of people in my life who never see that part of me. When it comes out, they don't really get it. It doesn't make sense with the person they know me to be, and they don't know how to handle it. It's difficult for me to control, too.
When I went through a full three months of that 10% emotional train wreck during my annulment, I lost some people along the way. It was hard, and it was sad.
Right now, New York City and I are in a similar fight.
A week ago, I thought I had really made something for myself here. I loved my job, I was spending a lot of time with a cool group of friends, and I was starting to feel settled.
After this whole breakup thing, I realize that I was doing things wrong.
I spent a lot of time and energy investing into a group of friends that I was brought into. I loved spending time around them so much that it's pretty much all I did. So when things got rough with that boy (a crucial member of that group), it was easy to feel like I had lost everything at once.
Looking back a couple of days later, I don't think I've really lost them. But at the time, it was very, very easy for 10% emotional train wreck Laura to… well, be an emotional train wreck about it.
All of my settledness felt unsettled, and it was scary. It almost made me want to pack up and move to a different city. Not enough to actually do it… just enough to think about what it would be like.
I need to rebuild my life here, and go a different direction. Not leaving behind those friends, or starting from scratch like I did after my annulment. I really care about those people, and this doesn't make them mean any less to me.
I am just understanding that I need to build something for myself. I've met some really awesome people in this city who I never spent enough time with before, because I was investing so much in one place. Maybe it's time to fix that.
When I broke up with my ex-husband, I was 1,000 times more devastated than I am now. I had no hope for the future, and no vision of what a life without him could be like. I had already lived in Austin for almost a year, and I didn't know how to start over in the same place.
Then, I met these girls.
Here were these new friends who met me during my absolute most selfish, ridiculous point in life. These people who loved me and brought out the best in me, even in the worst of times. And I didn't think it was possible, but they brought me back to life. Austin didn't really start until I met them.
When I think about making some adjustments here, I think about how blissfully amazing my life in Austin became after I had lost all hope. And I know that with a little bit of patience, adjustments, and maybe even a brief return to some happy pills, I can do this. It can get better. It's going to be okay.

Le Cirque Opens 'Signature' Outpost in Mumbai, Two More Planned for India
The 39-year-old restaurant heads east.
The venerable Le Cirque has opened inside Leela Palace Hotel in Mumbai. This is the second Le Cirque to take on India, following another location at a Leela Hotel in New Delhi (where New York by way of Japan Megu also has an outpost). There's still the Chateaubriand for two, but the biggest challenge facing chef Matteo Boglione is reportedly a much higher demand for meat-free dishes. "With vegetables, you can do nice stuff," he notes, listing simpler things like "cauliflower flan with porcini and avocado panzanella, buffalo mozzarella fondue, and black truffle shavings." With two more Le Cirque locations slated to open at Leela Hotels in Bangalore and Chennai next year, here's hoping the Maccioni clan has its onion supply chain intact. [Reuters, Related, Related]

INDIANAPOLIS - Butler University Associate Director of Athletics Jim McGrath was honored by the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association (ISSA) Saturday night. McGrath was the recipient of the Bob Williams Helping Hand Award for his service to the media in the state of Indiana.
The honor took place at the ISSA's annual banquet at the Wyndham near the Indianapolis Airport.
McGrath, in his 29th year as the sports information director at Butler, has been the host SID for four NCAA Division I Men's Final Fours and one Women's Final Four, as well as nine NCAA men's first and second rounds tournaments. This past month, he set a new milestone in his career as primary media contact during Butler's run to the NCAA Division I national championship game.
McGrath has worked in press operations at amatuer national championships in boxing, swimming and track and field. He was a press officer at the 1982 and 1983 USOC National Sports Festivals and the 1986 U.S. Olympic Festival, and he served as a press officer for the United States team at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. He further served as co-chairman for the Media Center Development and Operations Committee for Pan American Games X.
McGrath was one of four sports journalists from Indiana to be honored. Also, five longtime broadcasters and writers were induced into the ISSA Hall of Fame.

City Manager Paid to Stay
Herron receives a $15,000 raise to stop pursuing other jobs
May 15, 2013
WHEELING — City Manager Robert Herron said Tuesday he won't interview for a new job in Kalamazoo, Mich....
The worst thing about this is we have no recourse. Not until election time. Remember this. Thiere is no turning back. We are now stuck always paying the city manager 110 k. The salary isnow set. Every city manager from here on out will get at least this much. Meanwhile, the city employees have to bend over and accept year after year of dwindling pay. Maybe it would be more palatable if the heads of departments were not outpacing other employees, but anyone unfortunate enough to have to depend on the city for employment can not even voice their strong distaste with any viable recourse. So every few years, a raise to almost match insurance hikes while bob Herron gets 25k raise in the last three years. Don't drop this story. How about some response???

The city manager is like the CFO of a company. Their job is to watch the spending, justify the spending and keep the budget balanced with in the income of the city and city jobs are done right.
The mayor and council are in charge of making sure the citizen have enough police, fire, and roads and repairs and don't go wild with spending of unnecessary items. Somewhere the jobs got mixed up and some think they are designers of city and think money is no object in building sport complex and other wasteful project. Just like the citizen live within their budgets the business sector are the ones that should step up to pay for the frills since they work with a profit off of the citizens and government and do not or should not expand the taxes for frills.

The city should look into what the going rate for a city manager is and what is reasonable cost to pay to have this job done in a city of 30000. What happens if you have a CM leaves or can no longer perform the job. It is the council duty to have a plan on how to approach the lost. The plan should not be just to up the wages to maintain jobs at any level.
The child should not be able to demand a bigger allowance or they are moving out.

Fed up, to be fair, the city manager at the bargain price of 110k, would not make spelling errors. The lowly employees on the lower floors that have small sections to make, such as what file goes where, male much less money and many more spelling mistakes. The city manager has a whole city to drive into the ground.

Fifteen thousand dollars! Most employees will not see that raise accumulate throughout their entire career. Twenty years as a city employee and they may see 10-12 increase over their career. This is on top of the 10k raise from a year or so ago. Might as well schedule this for discussion for the next council meeting. Wonder how fast that topic gets shelved?

Not even one bit embarrassed. The city is apparently a fortune five hundred company, only without the fortune or the five hundred. So as befitting a ff500, the CEO makes many times the salary of the other employees.
My guess is that this may be the last straw for some. Sick of being treated like disposable pieces, some employees will seek employment elsewhere. Some can not, but that does not mean that they should be Happy to eat the droppings left over.

Pressure need to be put on to get all these fools fired. Someone needs to step up and lead. Otherwise there will just be more of the same. When does Knzie's salary double, who votes for that? Herron.

The child should not be able to demand a bigger allowance or they are moving out. When the father and mother submit to such a demand then you have the family failing to pay the rent and food bill all because they went along with the child. Government is for the citizens and not for the employee to dictate pay and benefits because soon the city could not meet their responsibility to the citizens and the employees could lose their pensions.

I would love to see at least half of the city employees prepare to quit. No raise in years that did not coincide with an insurance increase preceding it. I would be embarrassed to accept that when other employees have to make cuts to survive. This is just gluttony. No wonder bob is so red faced all the time.

Just another example of Wheeling being "lead" by a bunch of people who have no business running a city. To pay someone to manage a city of this size for over $100,000 is ridiculous-particularly since the population size AND businesses in the city have decreased under his "leadership". WE CAN DO BETTER AND FOR LESS MONEY.

What if I was thinking about moving out of Wheeling do you think council would give me a 15% or 20% discount in my taxes. Just think you would not have to pay me any money to stay just cut the city share of the property tax of the county since we have all this extra money for raises.

If getaclue is right about the Herron pay in 2009 at $80515 and jumped to 2014 to $110000 no wonder government is going broke. Government does not even make a profit but it thinks people can keep paying taxes for their pay and pensions. What did SS go up in those years minus health care cost?

Is government thinking they are private corporation in giving top management big raise and workers 1% or 2% raises? The only trouble is the taxpayers are footing the bill for wages and pensions. How good is the pension funded?
The mayor and council should of did a search for a new CM. They might of got Steubenville CM for 50000 saving the city 60000 or they might get Pittsburgh mayor as a CM with a lot of experience with large city .

How self absorbed can one be to "demand" more money or vacating a position for greener pastures. It is comforting to know that he will make a significant amount more while the rest of us have depleted hours, decreased wages, and fear being layed off at any given moment. Yet paying taxes to pay these individuals an undeserving raise. This city needs leaders that lead by example; not extortionists.

Now will the police chief or fire chief say they have a better offer to get a raise. What if the whole police department says they might have a better offer for a police job in another city do the get a 10% or 20% raise or do they get the salary the other city pays like New York city.

Sounds like a charter change should be made so CM can not use the old I have another offer.
A change should be a City Manager can serve no more than 10 years for the city or maybe all appointed positions should be put in the charter.

Screams of people on fire broke the silence of the night in the congested Surya Sen Market complex in the city where a fire left labourers and shopkeepers dead.
Locals said they were alerted to the fire by shouts of the victims sleeping inside the complex.
"At around 3.45 AM when I came out of my house after hearing those screams, I saw flames coming out of window panes of the building with people shouting from the windows," Ranjit Hazra, a resident of the area, said.
Shopkeepers and locals said that lack of adequate fire -fighting mechanism and exit routes were responsible for the 19 deaths in the fire.
Suresh Agarwal, whose grocery shop in the market was reduced to cinders, said, "The market complex does not have any proper fire -fighting mechanism. The entire market has only one proper entry and exit route."
Another shop owner Dipak said the entire staircase of the market complex was blocked by goods belonging to shops. State fire services minister Javed Khan said most of the people killed were either labourers working in the market complex or shop-owners who slept in their shops in the night.
Khan's views were endorsed by the governing body members of the market complex. "Those who have died are mostly labourers, but a few of them were also shop owners. There was only one proper exit.
There is an emergency exit but it has not been used for the last 10-15 years," Sushanta Ghosh, vice-chairman of the market, said.
"Actually most of the labourers who work in these shops are migrant labourers who sleep in the market during the night," Ghosh said.
According to Khan, about 200 shops situated in the ground and the first floor were gutted. The five-storeyed building mainly housed shops and offices.
Ghosh said the fire first spotted on the ground floor worked its way up through the floors. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Kolkata fire: Heroes emerge out of nowhere The devastating fire at Surya Sen Market complex here today brought out the extraordinary courage of ordinary people who staked their lives to save fellow beings, whom they did not even know personally.
The blaze has thrown up "heroes" like Ranajit Hazra, Sanjoy Giri, Jhantu Sarkar and Sushanta Ghosh, who saved people strangers to them.
Hazra who stayed near the Surya Sen Market said he was awakened by screams coming from

Wilwood's A-Body Disc-Brake Conversion - A Binding OptionWritten by on February 1, 2005 Drums-To-Discs With Wilwood
Although disc brakes were commonplace on compact Mopars from 1973 onwards, owners of earlier A-Bodies will typically find drums behind the wheels. It is true the Kelsey Hayes four-piston disc setup was offered as an option on some models, however, the vast majority of A-Bodies rolled off the line with drums on all four corners. Such was the case with our '68 Barracuda fastback. We had a functional set of 10-inch drums at the front end of this little A-Body, but, with an infusion of underhood power on its way, that just wouldn't cut it. At the rear, we had swapped the factory 7 1/4 rear for an 8 3/4, fitted with custom Moser axles to accommodate large B-Body 11x2 1/2-inch drums.
There are a variety of approaches to converting an A-Body to front discs. A popular choice is to scrounge the boneyard for a setup from a '73-and-up A-Body. This can be a cheap route, if you can score the spindles, caliper adapters, and upper A-arms at a true junkyard price, allowing the late unicast '73-and-up 11- or 12-inch rotors to be installed. The first problem with this setup is, though the conversion is cheap in theory, the parts have all but been hustled out, and if you can find them, typically you'll pay a premium. The late A-Body setup has enough braking capacity, particularly when outfitted with 12-inch rotors and sliding calipers, but the system is heavy-not what we were after for our project. The '73-and-up A-Body disc brakes were a classic example of parts-bin engineering by the factory, essentially adapting the E-body brake system (a derivative of the '70-and-up B-body system) to the A-body. While that may seem like a good thing, the spindle/ball-joint assembly used added about 3/4-inch per side to the width of the front suspension. the A-Body already carries a wider track at the front than the rear, so adding that extra 1 1/2 -inch span between the wheels cramps already tight tire clearance. Not a problem for a drag application with skinnies, but for our Barracuda we wanted to avoid the orthodontically impaired overbite look.
For A-Body applications, the aftermarket offers some viable alternatives. We were after lightweight and easy installation in a quality kit. We had firsthand experience with the Wilwood's A-Body disc-brake conversion, and our current project seemed like the ideal candidate for this upgrade. The Wilwood kit would bolt directly to our original drum spindles and would not materially affect the front track width. The Wilwood conversion proved to be a quality product, complete, and easy to install. Unlike a swap to the later stock disc brakes, the upper control arm and spindle need not be removed or replaced.

Our project car is a '68 Barracuda fastback that was factory equipped with 10-inch drum brakes. We started by removing the front drums.We supported the lower control arm with a floorjack; the brake backing plate assembly can be pulled after removing the four attaching nuts.The lower rear balljoint/spindle bolt actually threads into the spindle. We replaced the nut in this position, but will remove the bolt from the lower front position.There was no need to break loose balljoints or change spindles with the Wilwood kit. The caliper adapter simply bolts to the stock drum brake spindle, using three countersunk bolts (as shown).One of the nice things about the Wilwood kit is the hub comes with a dual bolt pattern, either the stock A-Body 4-inch circle, or the larger 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern used on later disc-brake As and virtually all other Mopars. Simply screw the provided studs into your choice of bolt patterns. We went with the small bolt pattern for now, even though the rear has already been swapped to the big bolt pattern, allowing us to retain the wheels now on the car. It will be simple to switch later on when we get a matching set of wheels.Like the hub, the rotor adapter is machined from aluminum for light weight. The button head attachment bolts are drilled for safety wire. Make sure a Torx fastener socket kit is in your toolbox, you'll need it.With the bearings packed, the grease seals installed, and the rotor bolted to the hub/adapter assembly per the Wilwood directions, the assembly slides right on the spindle. The rotor-to-hub adapter hardware also has provisions for safety wire.A nice feature of the Wilwood kit is the screw-on machined aluminum spindle dust cap. It sure beats smacking-on the stock tin cups.Wilwood's calipers are a four-piston design manufactured from aluminum. Fittings (steel) must be obtained to adapt the 1/8-inch NPT inlet to the brake hose. Wilwood recommends braided steel brake hose, stating that stock rubber brake hoses should not be used. We will be fully replumbing this car later.
The caliper bolts to the adapter brackets with two capscrews. Shims are provided to use between the caliper and mounting bracket to center the caliper over the rotor. Make sure to use the same number of shims at both mounting points.Installing the friction pads couldn't be simpler, just slide them into the fixed-mount caliper from the top. Wilwood has pads available in a variety of materials, depending upon the intended application.

Tomb Raider maker Crystal Dynamics has confirmed with Kotaku that it has laid of around 12 of its staff members. Crystal Dynamics is a studio under the auspices of Eidos, which is owned by parent company Square Enix.
These staff members were not working on a new Tomb Raider game, but a brand new IP, according to Kotaku. The company issued the following statement on the layoffs.
"We've made some decisions at Crystal Dynamics last week around the second project we're working on, which has resulted in a small number of roles (roughly 12) becoming redundant as we re-scope the project. This doesn't affect the Tomb Raider development team, who as confirmed last week are well into production on a next-generation sequel. We're a close-knit team at Crystal and wouldn't be making these changes if we didn't feel it was absolutely necessary. We'll help those affected as best we can and we want to thank them for their hard work and commitment. If anyone is looking for development talent, please contact:email@example.com and we'll put you in touch direct."
We'll have more on this story as further information becomes available.

By Kevin Noth, SwimInfo Special Correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 26. RYAN Lochte kicked off the final day of competition at the 2005 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships by setting a new pool record in the prelims of the 200 backstroke.
Lochte, the American record-holder, swam a very controlled race but still dominated the field in a time 1:40.60, 1.29 faster than Nate O'Brien of Texas, who will be seeded second for tonight's finals after clocking a time of 1:41.89. Chris DeJong of Michigan was .02 behind in 1:41.91.
Meet leader Auburn qualified two among the top five, as Chad Barlow will be seeded fourth and Doug Van Wie fifth. Hongzhe Sun (Stanford), Adam Mania (Wisconsin) and Kris Wiebeck (Florida) complete the field of eight.
Fred Bousquet of Auburn and Duje Draganja may have set the stage for a follow-up to the incredible duel the pair had in the finals of the 50 freestyle on Thursday night. Facing off in the final heat of the 100 freestyle prelims, the pair qualified for tonight's finals within .08 of each other. Draganja clocked a 42.53 and Bousquet touched in 42.61 seconds.
But remarkably, the pair is seeded third and fourth, respectively, behind Simon Burnett of Arizona and Rolandas Gimbutis of Cal who swam together in heat six and touched in a tie at 42.49 seconds.
The championship field is very tight and extremely quick as the top seven swimmers qualified within .15 of each other and a swim of 42.75 seconds was required to make the finals.
Auburn once again qualified a pair for the finals as the Tigers George Bovell tied Lyndon Ferns of Arizona for the sixth seed in a time of 42.64 seconds. Ben Wildman-Tobriner (Stanford) and Matt Grevers (Northwestern) took the fifth and eighth spots, respectively.
Gary Marshall of Stanford positioned himself to possibly capture both breaststroke titles. Fresh off his victory in last night's 100 breaststroke final, Marshall swam 1:56.56 in the 200 prelims, taking the third seed in the finals. The Stanford senior entered the meet having popped the fastest 200 breaststroke this year by more than two seconds (1:52.71).
But it is Vladislav Polyakov of Alabama that is seeded No. 1 for tonight's finals, having touched in 1:55.35. Mike Alexandrov of Northwestern kicked in the final 50 split at 29.65, recording a mark 1.2 faster than his meet qualifying time to secure the second seed.
Dave Rollins of Arizona took the fourth position in 1:56.77 and Vanja Rogulj of Virginia is seeded fifth after recording a 1:56.81. Scott Usher (Wyoming) was .01 behind in sixth. Eric Shanteau (Auburn) took seventh and Henrique Barbosa (Cal-Berkeley) was eighth.
There was a tie for the top seeding in the 200 butterfly between Davis Tarwater of Michigan and Daniel Cruz of Kentucky. Both individuals now hold the pool record time of 1:43.30. Cruz took third in last year's event, while Tarwater captured fourth.
The field is loaded with five other competitors returning from last year's event final, including the defending champion Rainer Kendrick of Texas who is seeded third after clocking a time of 1:43.94.
Adam Sioui of Floirda took the fourth position in a time of 1:44.17 and Michael Raab placed fifth recording a 1:44.38. Stanford grabbed the sixth and eighth qualifying positions as Jayme Cramer, last year's event runner-up, touched at 1:44.59 and Matt McDonald followed in 1:44.67.
Nate O'Brien of Texas is the only newbie to the field of eight after securing the seventh position.
Cal-Berkeley takes the top seeding into the finals of the 400 freestyle relay. The Golden Bear foursome of Rolandas Gimbutis, Milorad Cavic, Garrett Wagner and Jonas Tilly swam away with the final prelim heat in a time of 2:51.73.
Auburn was staked to a full second lead over Florida after the opening leg and though the Gators chipped away at the Tigers advantage, Adam Sioui couldn't chase down Fred Bousquet on the anchor leg. Auburn touched out for the second seeding in 2:52.12, while Florida was .34 behind in 2:52.46, qualifying third. Both Sioui and Bousquet popped 42.53 seconds on their anchor legs.
Arizona seized the fourth position (2:52.46) and Stanford took fifth (2:53.26). Northwestern, host Minnesota and Kentucky round out the relay field in sixth through eighth, respectively.
Entering tonight's finals with a 38-point lead, Auburn looks poised to capture its third straight team title via its team depth. The Tigers have qualified five swimmers for the championship finals and three for the consolation round, while second-place Stanford also has five competitors in tonight's finals, but no Cardinal will swim in the consolation round. The tally does not include finalists in the 1650 freestyle or the platform diving competition.
