The GB4SBS JOTA Page
GB4SBS ran for seven years following an unfortunate accident between the friend of an Assistant Scout Leader, who was interested in Amateur radio (me!) and a copy of "Scouting" magazine which contained an article about JOTA.
From simple beginnings at the 6th Shoreham Headquarters running a JOTA station for one troop of about 20 Scouts, we moved on to a District-wide event for hundreds of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Ventures from seven Groups. We operated from Hillside, our District campsite which provided us with a warm (compared to outside!) training room to operate from, and a large field in which to erect our aerial(s). Operating from a campsite also meant that the Scouts could stay at the station all weekend, so we stayed on air (almost!) all through the night.
Although JOTA is not about "chasing DX", this must be top of our FAQ list at the station! So here for the curious is a list of the furthest (roughly) contacts for each of the past 7 years:
In 1996 and 1997 over 90% of our contacts were on 80m, we were
actively seeking European JOTA stations that our Scouts could
pass messages to. (It was also the bottom of the sunspot cycle!)
Most years we used:
For two years we erected a Butternut HF5V 5-band vertical on
top of our 40-foot pole with fourteen elevated radials,
but this was a lot of effort for one weekend!
In addition to the JOTA amateur radio station, we successfully
ran the following activities. You are very welcome to borrow (or
even steal!) any or all of these ideas for your JOTA event, but
please at least let me
know how you get on. Why not send me some of your ideas and I
will post them here for others to try.
|This is a treasure-hunt around the campsite
using CB radio. A base station operated by a
leader gives directions to a team of Scouts. The
directions lead to a "clue " consisting
of a letter and an amateur radio station callsign.
One member of the team has to tell the base station the letter and callsign using the phonetic alphabet, then another clue is given. This continues around the site with a different team member passing the information each time.
|When all the clues have been collected, the letters have to be rearranged to spell a word connected with JOTA, and the countries of origin of the callsigns have to be obtained, either from knowledge picked up over the weekend or from the display of QSL cards around the training room. All the callsigns are from stations that we have previously contacted and their QSL cards are on display.
|We use a computer program that both sends and receives Morse Code. Many of the Scouts spend hours at the keyboard gradually learning the letters, then try their hand at sending Morse to the computer. It is very unforgiving! Despite the "old-fashioned" image of Morse Code, there is something about it that fascinates the Scouts and some seem to enjoy practising it more than anything else on offer.

Soho House Frowns on Suits
Plus, you can apparently walk into Mars Bar wearing a pink sweater and get away with it.
While the die-hards at Mars Bar apparently have no problem these days with patrons in full preppy attire (to EV Grieve's disbelief), Soho House is discouraging its members from wearing suits and ties. Gawker points to a note in their newsletter that states, "We've always believed that a relaxed atmosphere is a crucial part of our identity," and wonders whether it isn't part of an effort to purge those suddenly passé bankers.

Is HCA's Big Dividend Justified?
HCA, the hospital operator that was taken private in a $33 billion leveraged buyout in 2006, is paying its investors a sizable $1.75 billion dividend. Those investors, of course, include its private-equity owners: Bain Capital and KKR.
Is such cash distribution justified on such a highly levered company?
HCA makes its case for the pay out in the news release announcing the move, pointing out that it has reduced its debt load to $25.7 billion from $28.3 billion in 2006. It also said revenue rose 4% last year to $7.2 billion, though income slipped to $216 million from $276 million. in the fourt quarter The company now has a leverage ratio of 5, down from 6.4 at the end of 2006. Without the dividend, HCA says its leverage ratio would be 4.7.
News of the HCA dividend comes only a few weeks after another health care buyout target, Vanguard Health Systems, was seeking to raise debt for a $1 billion dividend recapitalization.
HCA's dividend looks like a sign of growing confidence in the company's ability to increase its cash flow, which would allow both its investors to be paid and for its debt load to be reduced or restructured.
For the past two years, such pay outs were rare given the uncertainty in the credit markets and economy that caused many large LBOs to go into default.
The return of the dividend is a hopeful sign from private equity. Still, there are risks for HCA. Shares of publically traded health-care operators have fallen in the past year. The downtrend reflected the uncertainty over the state of President Obama's proposed health-care push and a difficult economy in which health-care companies expected fewer uninsured patients to be able to pay their bills.

It is no secret that the U.S. solar industry has exploded in recent years and Arizona is one of the best-equipped states to capitalize on this rapidly growing market. There are plenty of political and economic reasons for this, but two key federal policies stand out as drivers of this growth: the Treasury Grant Program and the Department of Energy's renewable-energy loan-guarantee program.
These two programs offer specific guarantees to solar and other renewable-energy technologies that help them compete with the heavily subsidized, historically favored fossil-fuel industries. They are responsible for helping create thousands of jobs and spurring billions in private investment.
The cash-grant program, available in lieu of the existing solar-investment tax credit, is crucial because it provides startup funding to companies that have been unable to get financing because of the weak economy. The DOE loan-guarantee program offers a federally guaranteed loan to developers of solar power plants, manufacturing facilities and transmission lines for renewable energy.
Regrettably, these programs are at risk of falling by the wayside if leaders in Washington don't act soon. Congress has already used $3.5 billion from the $6 billion originally allocated to the loan-guarantee program to pay for other policies.
And the TGP, despite its effectiveness in addressing the lack of project financing, is set to expire at the end of the year.
At risk are hundreds of solar projects across the U.S., including some major ones in Arizona. That is a shame, because solar projects benefiting from these programs have proved to be real engines for local job growth and economic development.
For example, at the heart of Abengoa Solar's 280-megawatt solar plant under development near Gila Bend is the DOE loan-guarantee program, which is providing a $1.45 billion guarantee to get the project moving.
This project is expected to create 1,700 construction jobs, 85 permanent jobs and a billion dollars in economic development for Arizona.
The TGP is just as important to Arizona. A recent study found that the state will add 7,200 new jobs if the program is kept in place for the next two years, helping create solar-energy infrastructure capable of supplying 200,000 homes with clean, reliable solar energy.
Arizona has world-class solar resources, a skilled workforce and a business-friendly reputation. The only things standing in the way are a cash-strapped federal government and an expiration date that could eliminate domestic jobs and let other nations take the lead in the clean-energy economy. Why would we want to do that when more and more Americans are concerned about America's dangerous dependence on fossil fuels?
We need to return funding to the loan-guarantee program and extend the TGP, or Arizona's solar potential may never be realized. The Grand Canyon State needs these successful programs and its representatives in Congress should be reminded of that. Call, write and e-mail them before the sun sets on this year, and possibly, this state's vast solar potential.
Rhone Resch is president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association.

Andrew Wiggins is one step closer to being an official member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Whether or not he ultimately reaches that destination remains to be seen.
The Golden State Warriors were long considered to be the Cavs' lone rival in obtaining Love as they refuse to include swingman Klay Thompson in discussions given Love's potential to leave after one season. ESPN.com's Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst report that the Chicago Bulls—one of the choice destinations for Love—have also entered into the fray1, but the Cavs remain "firmly in the lead" in a deal that would center around Wiggins. The Cavs are reportedly increasingly optimistic that they are progressing toward a trade framework that the Minnesota Timberwolves will accept in exchange for Love to pair him with his Team USA teammate LeBron James.
The Associated Press has confirmed an earlier report from Windhorst that states the Cavs' No. 1 overall pick will sign his rookie contract with the team. Wiggins has been the topic of trade talks since being selected this past summer, the 6-foot-8-inch shooting guard being the top target of the Minnesota Timberwolves as they look to deal power forward Kevin Love before he reaches free agency. Last week, the AP cited two people familiar with the discussions in saying that the Cavs were still not willing to include Wiggins in a deal despite previous reports to the contrary.
Once the deal (said to be worth roughly $5.5 million in 2014) is inked, the Cavs would be prohibited from dealing the rookie for 30 days. Prior to being signed, Wiggins' value in a trade was zero. If the Cavaliers do decide to part ways with the highly touted swingman, they would be $5.5 million closer to the required $12.56 million needed to acquire Love. Other players rumored to be involved include Dion Waiters ($4.06 million) and last year's No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett ($5.56 million).

have you tried Zimbra Mobile? I just don't think I can rationalize the $500.00 xtra.
How are you dealing with the deleted vs. Trash, Sent vs. Sent items conventions?
I don't understand why the mobile web client doesn't let you add or edit appts.
Try the sslsaver. If that cert doesn't work (doesn't load) after using makecab, just load the certificate onto the device and click on it in fileexplorer. That's what worked for me.
Dont get me wrong I do think payign for solid code is 100% viable and I have no problems paying ... I just haven't found anything to meet my requirements exactly (including me maintaining my own server).

As is usually the case with every new version of Halo, Halo 4 will require a substantial amount of space on your Xbox 360. Halo 4 will need at least 8GB of hard drive or flash memory card space to play the multiplayer modes, according to Xbox.com. The description on Xbox.com also notes that using the hard drive is "highly recommended" for those who want an "optimal" experience. I'm not sure who the people are that don't want an optimal experience when playing multiplayer mode… Here is what Xbox.com says specifically:
"At a minimum, you'll need at least an 8GB USB Flash Drive or an Xbox 360 Hard Drive to play Multiplayer mode in Halo 4. For an optimal experience playing with an Xbox 360 Hard Drive is highly recommended. For Xbox 360 4GB, Arcade and Core consoles, the Xbox 360 Hard Drive is sold separately. See below for more details on the storage device options available for Xbox 360 and Halo 4."
This will probably be more of a concern to those who bought a 4GB Xbox 360 bundle than those who bought models with bigger hard drives. The page also offers some ideas on how to deal with a lack of hard drive space including a 16GB flash drive and the Xbox 360 320GB Media Hard Drive.
Halo 4 is schedule for release exclusively on Xbox 360 on November 6 of this year.

RUSTON -- Louisiana Tech officials announced today that demolition of the existing scoreboard at the north end of Joe Aillet Stadium has begun in preparation for the installation of a new high definition video display board.
The board will be installed by Daktronics, the world leader in large format electronic display systems. With a high definition display area of nearly 1,500 square feet (25 ft tall by 45 feet wide), Tech's new video display board will be the largest in the Western Athletic Conference and will include an entirely new sound system.
"In a continuing effort to serve our fans, we are thrilled that our dreams of a high quality board are now becoming a reality," said Tech Athletic Director Derek Dooley. "The immediate instant replays, pre-game and halftime entertainment, and state-of-the-art sound system will transform our game-day experience into the most exciting three hours of entertainment in North Louisiana."
The board will be funded through the university's partnership with Learfield Sports. The marketing revenue generated will not only fund the debt service on the project, but will also return additional revenue to the department.
"Not only will this new addition to Joe Aillet Stadium enhance the overall game-day experience for the LA Tech fan, but it creates phenomenal new opportunities for the sponsors of the program," said Mason Ellenberger, General Manager for LA Tech Sports Properties, a property of Learfield Sports.
"It will give the sponsors tremendous visibility for their products, services and initiatives. We not only strive to create an exciting game environment but to increase opportunities for our sponsors and advertiser to have every LA Tech fan as a customer."
Daktronics is recognized worldwide in its industry as the leading designer and manufacturer of electronic scoreboards programmable display systems and large screen video displays using light emitting diode (LED) technology.
"With the addition of Daktronics HD-16 product, Louisiana Tech will have the latest in video technology that is comparable to what many BCS schools have installed in the past few years," said Dan Fjeldheim, Daktronics South Central Region Representative. "Daktronics is very grateful of the opportunity to partner with Louisiana Tech."
By comparison, it will also be almost three times larger than the video board that showed replays of the Bulldogs 17-10 win over Northern Illinois at Independence Stadium in Shreveport.
The board is set to be fully operational by mid-August, a month prior to the Bulldogs home opener in 2009.
Tech fans can follow the project via live webstreaming by logging onto www.latechsports.com and clicking on the button on the home page.
Bulldog faithful can also see color renderings of the new board by attending one of the remaining events on the Louisiana Tech Spring Tour, either in Ruston May 20, West Monroe May 21 or Dallas June 3.
For information on the Louisiana Tech Spring Tour, log onto www.latechalumni.org.
Season tickets are also currently on sale as the Bulldogs schedule includes five big home games and can be purchased by logging onto www.latechsports.com or calling the Tech Ticket Office at 318-257-3631.

- Glue
Save it for later! Print it or put it on your e-reader.Download & Print
Be a Weather Child
Encourage your child to observe the weather and describe what she sees. Ask questions like, "What do you see today?" "Is it rainy, cloudy, sunny, snowy, or foggy?" Throughout the year, point out the changes from season to season. Help your child recognize that there are different types of weather in different places at the same time.
Step 1: Things You'll Need
Collect the items from the materials list.
Little Hands Tip: Have your child pretend to report the weather for the news.
Step 2: Shred It
With your child, shred a few tissues into small pieces.
Step 3: Roll and Sprinkle
Roll out some wax paper and sprinkle the shredded tissue on it. Then, cover the tissue with another sheet of wax paper, sandwiching it between the two sheets.
Step 4: Grown Up Step
Put the wax paper between two pieces of newspaper or paper bags and have a grown-up carefully iron it for a few seconds until fused.
Step 5: Create Circles
Carefully cut out one large circle and four smaller circles to create five snowflakes. If your child is not old enough to use scissors safely, have a grown-up do this step.
Step 6: Glitter It Up
Cover each snowflake with glue and sprinkle glitter over it.
Little Hands Tip: Do you know a song about snow or winter? Sing it!
Step 7: String It
After the snowflakes have dried, use tape to attach a piece of string (about five inches long) to each snowflake. Connect two small snowflakes to the base of the large one. Then, attach the remaining snowflakes to these snowflakes, forming a mobile or chain.
It's a Winter Wonderland
Let it snow! Hang your sparkly creation near a window for the whole family to enjoy.

Tomb With A View
by Casey Daniels
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Quinn, What is your problem ??? Such and hard headed stubborn man. Well Pepper, gets the hard side of Quinn in this edition of the series. She is trapped in another murder investigation and is once again in danger herself. Quinn just wants her to be safe little women, so not Pepper. First the ghost will not leave her alone and second she now has a stalker and third, somebody at the cemetery was murdered. Her ghost of the moment is President Garfield and he's a very interesting ghost, a lot of history. Poor Pepper, she just keeps getting poked at through the whole book.
I enjoyed the history and the varied nasty characters through the whole story. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
"Cemetery tour guide and reluctant medium Pepper Martin is always up for some fun that doesn't involve seeing and talking to dead people. So a gig commemorating a dead president can only mean good times are not ahead…"
How do I start to describe Pepper Martin? She's spunky, fun, confident, smart and always fashionably up to date. Just ask her, she'll tell you. Not only is Pepper all of these things, but she is also a private investigator for the dead. Pepper can see those who have not passed over to the Other Side. On most occasions these ghosts have unfinished business here on Earth and they cannot depart until it is taken care of. This is where Pepper steps in.
Pepper works at the Garden View Cemetery. A few years ago, Pepper hit her head on the mausoleum of a gangster named Gus Scarpetti. On that fateful day, Pepper gained her Gift to see the dead. Pepper has helped several spirits pass over since that day. Usually this ends up getting her in some sticky situations and some near misses. Although Pepper is reluctant at first to help, she usually ends up becoming attached to the ghost she is trying to help.
This time around Pepper finds herself working on the commemoration of President James A. Garfield. President Garfield is buried in his memorial at Garden View Cemetery. Not only does Pepper not want to be working on the commemoration but she definitely does not want to be doing so with Garden View's most annoying volunteer, Marjorie Klinker.
Marjorie claims that she is the descendant of President Garfield. She alleges that President Garfield had an affair and that she is the descendant of the son that came of that affair. These claims have been rejected by the President's family, Marjorie's family and those who know her. There was never any proof of an affair. Marjorie has spent her entire life collecting all things President Garfield in hopes of proving her connection to the family. Marjorie and Pepper have to go through the archives at the cemetery and Marjorie's personal collection to decide what should be on display for the commemoration. It is during one of these sessions that Marjorie reveals to Pepper that she will have some new and especially wonderful information regarding the President. Pepper doesn't take the bait and that's really too bad. The next day Pepper finds Marjorie Klinker dead in the Garfield memorial.
What information did Marjorie have that was worth committing murder? There are a lot of questions and it seems few answers. Pepper finds herself in a world of deceit, fraud, murder and scams. She also can't figure out how she's supposed to help President Garfield cross over when it is abundantly clear that he is enjoying himself here in his memorial.
Once again Casey Daniels has taken us on a crazy adventure-filled ride. Pepper is funny, clever and loyal to those she helps. She also demands that same kind of loyalty. Tomb with a View had me laughing out loud and tension filled. I couldn't wait to figure out who-dun-it and per usual, I didn't figure it out until it was revealed to me. Casey Daniels is a mystery mastermind. There was also a secondary mystery that related to the primary mystery so there were several possibilities going through my mind. Never mind that not one of them was right.
Tomb With a View is a great addition to this series. The mysteries are great and Pepper is a refreshing and funny heroine. If you haven't read any other book in the series, I honestly don't think that you would have to before you read Tomb With a View. I like having the entire back story so I've read them all and have added each one to my keeper shelf.
This is the 6th in Pepper Martin Mysteries. The main character is red-head Pepper Martin, cemetery tour guide and ghost whisperer who is a daughter of a prominent surgeon father, and a society mother. It is set is modern day Cleveland Ohio's Garden View Cemetery.
Pepper is teamed up with the most obnoxious volunteer at the cemetery to put a President Garfield Commemoration together. Pepper whines a lot about having to work with spiteful and mean Marjorie Klinker. Marjorie constantly drones on about how she is related to James A. Garfield, twentieth President, via an affair and resulting illegitimate offspring. Marjorie makes it clear to Pepper that she will be her "go-fer" in the commemoration efforts and starts piling it on Pepper. So when Pepper gets a voice-mail first thing in the morning from Marjorie, she takes her time getting over to the memorial. When she does arrive she finds Marjorie having taken a dive off the upper balcony onto the floor below at the foot of the Garfield statue. The police determine there was a struggle and Marjorie was sent flying over the balcony.
Usually Pepper is approached by the dead to help them with something unfinished. But Pepper is surprised that Marjorie isn't the ghost coming to her, but rather the ghost of President Garfield who stays in the memorial carrying on the presidential work that was cut short by a stalker turned shooter. Garfield wants the ruckus to stop so he can work! So why does Pepper dig into who killed Marjorie? Because she just broke up with her police boyfriend, Quinn who couldn't accept that she sees and talks to dead people. Quinn makes it very clear that she is meddlesome, so she is determined to solve Marjorie's murder before him. Pepper also has a stalker since the previous book where she was in a reality show, Cemetery Survivor, about restoring a near-by cemetery. The stalker is getting closer and she now has a face associated with her fears.
I had not read any of the Pepper Martin series before and it is easy to pick up the background information. Pepper is used to living the high life until her dad went to jail for insurance fraud, so she is struggling to make a living as the only paid guide at the cemetery. Imagine Paris Hilton having to get a real job and actually work and you have Pepper's situation down. Pepper will appeal to some but not all readers. She is young, brash, and a bit superficial - although she is working on that. The stand-out character in this book is President Garfield himself. I felt as though the 1880's social moors were brought to life not to mention Garfield's commanding personality in this one character. Well done! The "ex" is sufficiently portrayed as negative in attitude towards Pepper, which spurs her on. There is an FBI agent that might have potential in future books that surfaces.
This is a fast and easy read with a sufficient plot to carry the reader through. The plot actually has several threads going but they all wrap up well. The Garfield memorial provides a good setting within the cemetery itself and Pepper's investigating is on par for a cozy. The big reveal of the murderer had just enough suspense and the wrap-up of the stalker sub plot was perhaps the best scene in the book.
If you are looking for a light and easy spooky read (similar to Kate Collins' Flower Shop Mysteries) this may be just what you are looking for.
To read the complete review please go here:
Pepper is not happy. For one thing, she is manless since she broke up with Quinn, her policeman beau. And now she has been assigned to work on the Garfield, as in President Garfield, commemoration with the most annoying volunteer the cemetery has, Marjorie Klinker. But when Marjorie turns up murdered in the Garfield memorial, Pepper knows she must solve the mystery. And this time she is getting presidental help.
I love this series. Pepper is lots of fun and the mysteries are pretty good. I do recommend reading them in series.
I have long been a fan of Casey Daniel's Pepper Martin series. The books are always worth reading and I am happy to say this newest installment "Tomb With A View" is my favorite so far. Honestly, I haven't enjoyed one as much since the first book "Don of the Dead" or "Tombs of Endearment", book #3. Pepper is one of the most likeable female characters in any series I read. She is fashionable, but not so over the top that all we hear about is Gucci or Prada. She is tenderhearted and sassy at the same time. And the girl sure can snark with the best of them. She wants to do the right thing even when she really doesn't like what that means in certain situations. Here, one of the most annoying volunteers at the cemetary is found murdered in President Garfield's tomb. Marjorie Klinker wasn't justa a know it all volunteer but also a huge collector of all things Garfield (the President, not the cat, points out Pepper in the book) but she also claims to be a decendent of Garfield from an affair he once had. Of course, Pepper can't resist investigating especially when she has help from the President himself. The stronger and more fun the ghosts in each book are, then stronger the particular installment. James A Garfield is one of the best ghostly characters to date. He is a stuffy old president who has a great backstory to tell, both historically accurate one and 'fictionalized for fabulousness' version created by Ms. Daniels. I wanted to immediately wiki him and learn more about the short-lived president after I finished reading the book. I like that Pepper has relationships and I really ejoy the fact that they are never bigger than the plot and the sex, when there is sex, is understated. This particular mystery had several reveals and a couple I guessed correctly at but it never lessened the fun. I can't wait to read the next book "A Hard Day's Fright" coming in April. I always forget how much pure fun this series is until a new one is released.

That's what Michael O'Shea asked when cards were being swapped at a recent Open Coffee meetup.
Turn your card over. What do you see; useful content or a missed opportunity?
There are several things you could do with the back of your business card. If you're like me, you've got cards in your collection from people you don't remember, working for businesses you don't understand. So why not use the space available to spell out what you offer or the benefits your business can provide. Give me some context to help me remember you and I'll be more likely to call you in the future.
Here's another idea. Chuck Green suggests including some useful information on the back of your card. Why? Because you want people to hold on to your card 'til they need it. If you've given them something useful along with your contact details then the lifetime of your card in other people's hands should go up.
The reverse of my new card lists my favourite Excel keyboard shortcuts. These are the best ones, the ones that save me from having to reach for the mouse every few seconds. I think they're great so, if you get one of my cards, try them out the next time you're in Excel.

Libby Larsen (b. 24 December 1950, Wilmington, Delaware) is one of Americas most prolific and most performed living composers. She has created a catalogue of over 200 works spanning virtually every genre from intimate vocal and chamber music to massive orchestral and choral scores. Her music has been praised for its dynamic, deeply inspired, and vigorous contemporary American spirit. Constantly sought after for commissions and premières by major artists, ensembles, and orchestras around the world, Libby Larsen has established a permanent place for her works in the concert repertory.
In April 2003, the Library of Congress announced Libby Larsens appointment as the first holder of the Harissios Papamarkou Chair in Education and Technology in the John W. Kluge Center. She has received numerous awards and accolades, including a 1994 Grammy as producer of the CD: The Art of Arlene Augér, an acclaimed recording that features Larsens 9780193859814.do">Sonnets from the Portuguese. The first woman to serve as a resident composer with a major orchestra, she has held residencies with the California Institute of the Arts, the Arnold Schoenberg Institute, the Philadelphia School of the Arts, the Cincinnati Conservatory, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Charlotte Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony. Larsens many commissions and recordings are a testament to her fruitful collaborations with a long list of world-renowned artists, including The Kings Singers, Benita Valente, and Frederica von Stade, among others. Her works are widely recorded on such labels as Angel/EMI, Nonesuch, Decca, and Koch International. Among recent releases on Koch International are 9780193863453.do">Love After 1950, performed by mezzo-soprano Susanne Mentzer (for whom the song cycle was written) with Craig Rutenberg, piano; and an album of her orchestral works, including the world première recording of Solo Symphony, performed by the Colorado Symphony under the direction of Marin Alsop.
Libby Larsen is a vigorous, articulate champion of the music and musicians of our time. In 1973, she co-founded (with Stephen Paulus) the Minnesota Composers Forum, now the American Composers Forum, which has been an invaluable advocate for composers in a difficult, transitional time for American arts. Larsens commitment to the wider issue of music in society has led her to activity on a national level: she has served on the boards of the American Symphony Orchestra League, Meet the Composer, and on the Music Panel of the National Endowment for the Arts. She has also been Vice-President of the American Music Center and a director of the College Music Society.
Recognized as a leader in the generation of millenium thinkers, Libby Larsen's music and ideas have refreshed the concert music tradition and the composers role in it.

Ask a football fan to name the best goal they've ever seen, and they'll instantly have a few likely contenders.
Whether it's Maradona's goal against England, Dennis Bergkamp's magical strike for the Netherlands against Argentina, or Ryan Giggs's FA Cup goal for Manchester United against Arsenal, everyone has a favourite.
But the greatest tackle ever? That's a tougher debate. Bobby Moore's effort against Jairzinho at the 1970 World Cup is the one you normally see on internet and magazine lists, but does it really count when nobody you know actually watched the match live?
Luckily, a tackle from the Italian lower leagues has come along to end the debate. Domenico Zampaglione's stop combines both a perfectly-timed slide tackle - in time-honoured Bobby Moore fashion - with a freak goal from 75 yards.
Yup: 75 yards. The goal came in the fourth tier clash between Tuttocuoio 1957 and Vigor Lamezia, with Tuttocuio's free kick routine backfiring spectacularly as a combination of a slippery pitch, high winds and freak geometry off Zampaglione's shin smashed the ball into the upper atmosphere and back down into the net.
Beautiful stuff - a brilliantly-timed slide, AND a goal into the bargain? It may not have happened in the World Cup or a Champions League final, but t's genuinely impossible to imagine this tackle ever being bettered.
Unless, of course, you're the bad-tempered Tuttocuio manager, Massimo Alvini, who was outraged to see his men lose 1-0 to the freak goal: "We played on a field that had nothing to do with football and the game was decided by an episode that has nothing to do with football."
Greatest tackle ever?

From the front line : Thoughts on running a Chinese Medicine Clinic
Here's a simple collection of thoughts about being in clinical practice in a Chinese medicine clinic from someone new to the profession, G. Michael Reynolds.
1. It's hard being a natural medicine practitioner when you're relatively sickly. I'm a fairly good sized guy.When I was born my mom's OB/GYN declared I was going to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when I grew up. (This was not a curse, I'm from Tampa.) You don't really think "poor health, very deficient" when you look at me. However, I'm kinda sickly and I've kind of been that way my whole life, for reasons multifarious. I feel like I've come a long way in the last few years, but I still tend to be on the weak side, not able to do all that much in the way of physical activity, coming down with things a lot, etc. (When I moved in January, afterward I was sick until sometime mid March). The point here is that I frequently find myself (like today, for instance) in the middle of a diagnosis with a patient thinking "How exactly is this person supposed to believe in my ability to improve their health when, despite my best efforts, my own personal health is so poor?"
2. Treating chronic disease is an exercise in patience and frustration management. Chronic disease is what I look for, my preferred type of case. The really difficult, chronic, life-crippling stuff. This is because these are the patients I most want to help, whose lives would be the most changed by a positive result. Despite having the tools at my disposal to do just that and making observable progress, it's still a very frustrating process. Sometimes these things really do take four or five years to pull off, and that with hitting a home run every week. Patients get frustrated and drop out, really committed patients have other disasters befall them or are being crippled by their Western treatment regimens, patients that are doing absolutely everything right still continue to suffer greatly in the process of improvement. Some days it's hair-pulling. Some days it's heart breaking. This is part of the acupuncturists life that they seemed to have missed in school.
3. Doing things in the right order takes a lot of faith and self-confidence. I have multiple patients who have some sort of chronic pain who, to my mind, are great examples of the Neijing maxim that "all pain, sores, and itching come from the Heart." They have chronic pain that
is being directly or indirectly caused by upper jiao blockage due to emotional distress followed by a walling off of the psycho-emotional energies of the Heart and Lungs. In both cases a powerful resistance to dealing with the loss of loved ones is crippling circulation and leading to a variety of additional symptoms, like dysmenorrhea. However, it's not the easiest thing in the world to be charging a pretty good sized sum of money to someone who has come to you for elbow pain which isn't really getting better and having to tell them "look, we gotta keep focusing on that emotional blockage first in order to get to your pain, otherwise we're just knocking our heads against the wall." Is it the truth? Absolutely. Do I still kinda worry that it's going to make me and every other acupuncturist alive look bad and one day she'll stop coming in and tell her friends about what a waste it was and…you bet. After all, you can't have a good neurosis without a lot of work.
4. Some days you feel like you did everything wrong, and yet everything right happens. I'll never understand this one. You needled these two points and…just didn't "feel it." Like there was no real connection. You had to more or less guess on the formula and just kinda threw it out there, not really knowing what would happen. You were too beat to take a proper pulse and so had to work out what to do from other angles, and even then things didn't seem right. You were sure that what you did was going to fail utterly. However, the next time you talk to the patient, they're thrilled with the results. Go figure.
5. Some days you feel like you did everything right and the case barely budges. See #2
6. You really do have to get used to the idea that patients are frequently so closed off, out of touch with themselves/reality, and self-unaware that they have no idea what's really wrong with them. Frequently they can't even tell you if things are better or worse because they literally have no idea. See #3
7. The practices of other practitioners is going to make you really mad some days. You're going to hear about people who are essentially running a health food store/supplement supply under the guise of a medical license for all the hawking of goods they do. They will practice lousy medicine, though their patients probably don't realize it. They will have evolved into the Monte Hall model by force of necessity, because their actual CM acumen is so poor. So in order to survive, they will pull in every modality, every product, everything in existence into their practice and sell it all. Their practice will be bigger than yours, they will be making more money than you, their car/address will be nicer, they will be in the local magazines. They will still not know what they are doing, they will not be reaching the level of results our ancestors expect from us, however they will be feeding the consumer culture of our society, and that is why they will be doing well. You will know this, but it will still make you mad.
8. Your practice is going to make you really mad some days. You will find yourself saying "if this stuff is so great, if I'm practicing such a superior modality, if my herbs are such high quality, if I have it on absolute fact that I am doing what my patient needs when they need it, then why in the hell aren't any of them completely cured? If my way is better, then why is it such a small operation? If I'm so great then why do I ride the bus instead of my Mercedes/Porsche/whatever? Why aren't I better at treating emergency/acute/chronic/mystery/women's/men's/children's/animals illnesses? Why do I have so few answers?" Again, neurosis takes work.
9. All of these things will come and go along with this thought: man, this stuff is really great and I feel good. Yin transforms into Yang and Yang transforms into Yin. Good days, bad days, they're all part of it it seems. I personally think that people who only have good days (residents of Portland notwithstanding) need psychological evaluation and a lie detector test. Just try to remember that when things are bad that soon it will turn around and that when things are good that you don't have all the answers just yet.

You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Local travel
Australians can drive on an Australian driver's licence for one month after entering the Federated States of Micronesia. Australians should be aware that vehicles are driven on the right side of the road. Driving can be hazardous due to poor maintenance of roads, poor driving standards and a lack of streetlights. The condition of roads can quickly deteriorate after heavy rain. For further advice, see our road travel page.
The safety standards you might expect of tour operators are not always met, especially for adventure sports such as diving and yachting. Sufficient life jackets and adequate safety equipment may not be provided. Recommended maintenance standards and safety precautions may not be observed. Check operators' credentials and safety equipment beforehand and ensure your travel insurance policy covers your planned activities. Divers visiting the Federated States of Micronesia should have travel and health insurance that includes coverage for deep sea diving, hyperbaric chamber and evacuation costs.
There are dangerous currents in some channels. These can pose a risk to swimmers and surfers. Advice should be sought from locals on danger spots before swimming.
Unexploded World War II ordnance still exists in the Federated States of Micronesia, especially around Yap harbour and adjacent channels. Care should be taken when boating or diving. It is dangerous and illegal to remove objects from sunken World War II wrecks.
Airline safety
The Australian Government does not provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths. See instead the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation safety in the Federated States of Micronesia.
Please also refer to our general air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
When you are in the Federated States of Micronesia, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research local laws before travelling.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
There are heavy penalties for drug offences including long jail terms and heavy fines.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Local customs
There are conservative standards of dress and behaviour in the Federated States of Micronesia and you should take care not to offend. Women in particular should dress modestly and wear clothing that is at least knee length if outside of resorts.
Zika virus
The State of Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is experiencing sporadic transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus. All travellers should protect themselves from mosquito bites. Pregnant women should discuss any travel plans with their doctor, as detailed knowledge concerning the level of transmission in FSM is unknown at this stage. Travellers should also consult their travel doctor or GP about implications and see our Zika virus bulletin.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Divers visiting the Federated States of Micronesia should have travel and health insurance that includes coverage for deep sea diving, hyperbaric chamber and evacuation costs. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Hospital and medical facilities are adequate for routine medical services. Basic supplies and medicines can be limited. Hospitals and doctors may require up-front payment for medical services. Evacuation may be required in cases of serious illness or accident. Medical evacuation costs could be considerable (in the tens of thousands of dollars).
Decompression chambers are available in Yap, Chuuk and Pohnpei. Availability and level of staff experience varies considerably.
Outbreaks of dengue fever can occur, including serious outbreaks from time to time. You should monitor local media for health announcements and take precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes, including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. For further information see the WHO factsheet on dengue fever.
Outbreaks of leptospirosis can occur, including serious outbreaks from time to time, especially around Pohnpei. It is recommended you wear closed-in shoes when walking along the water's edge, avoid swimming and playing in muddy water, and store food in enclosed containers.

Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
The typhoon season runs from June to December, though major storms have occurred outside this period. Typhoon and storm information is available from the USA Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the USA National Weather Service Forecast Office or Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System. In the event of severe weather, you should monitor these websites. See also our Severe weather page. Travellers should bear in mind that the direction and strength of typhoons can change with little warning. Telephone and internet communications, services and transport may be disrupted in affected areas.
In the event of an approaching typhoon, you should identify your local shelter. Flights and ferry services in and out of affected areas can be unsafe and could be delayed or suspended. Available flights may fill quickly. The typhoon could also affect access to sea ports in the region. In some areas, adequate shelter from a severe typhoon may not be available to all who may choose to stay. You should review and follow hotel or cruise ship evacuation plans. You should carry your travel documents at all times (i.e. passport, photo identification) or secure them in a safe, waterproof location. We also suggest that you contact friends and family in Australia with updates about your welfare and whereabouts.
All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, but in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, there is a more frequent occurrence of large, destructive tsunamis because of the many large earthquakes along major tectonic plate boundaries and ocean trenches. See the Tsunami Awareness page from the Australian Emergency Management Institute.
If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and thanks for choosing Just Answer®. I am a licensed attorney, and I will be glad to try and assist you.
To provide you with accurate information, could you please clarify these points so I can best address your inquiry:
Once I hear back from you, I will be glad to let you know my answer. There may be some delay as I am assisting other customers or am away from my computer. Please rest assured, however, that I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you.
When did she pass away? Has she been buried yet?
Is there a suspicion that the husband may have committed a crime related to the death?
Candidly, it may be difficult to accomplish anything here, at least, absent any compelling evidence against the husband.
If she had not yet been buried, the family could request an autopsy. With an autopsy, it could be determine if anything unusual was in her system. As the burial has already occurred, the family would need to have the body exhumed. For what is probably an obvious reason, bodies are rarely exhumed.
To pursue anything here, there would need to be something suggesting culpability on the part of the husband. For example, evidence of drugging the wife, evidence of physical abuse or a neighbor overhearing them arguing before her death. Absent something such as that, I don't see much likelihood of success here.
I regret that my answer is unfavorable, but please understand that it would be unfair to you (and unprofessional of me) to provide you with anything less than a truthful response.
Also, several customers have asked how they may direct a question to me in particular. If you specifically want me to assist you in your legal matter, just put "FOR JOSEPH" in the subject line and I will gladly pick up the question as soon as I am on-line.
I'm sorry to hear of her difficulties, it sounds like she had a very rough life with her husband.
If there is something else that you need, please let me know.

Giro Notebook, Stage 21: Cav says Giro has killed him; Phinney's unplanned detour
- By Andrew Hood
- Published May. 27, 2012
- Updated Oct. 30, 2014 at 10:11 AM EDT
Pinotti bounces back to win final TT
Marco Pinotti (BMC Racing) bounced back from a career-threatening crash in last year's Giro to win the final stage in Milan.
With the GC riders battling in his wake, Pinotti set a blistering pace over the 28.2km course in Milan to win the final-day time trial for the second time inside four years.
"After what happened last year to me, I am most proud to come back to this level and be able to win again," Pinotti said. "It means a lot to me because you never know when you have a bad injury like that. It was a lot of work to get back here."

Five Muskrats named to NECBL All-Star roster
- Published in Local Sports
LACONIA — Laconia will be well represented at the NECBL All-Star Game, to be played July 20 in Holyoke, Mass. The Muskrats will be sending five members of this season's squad. Three of the four position players will be in the starting lineup. Matt Byrne (Iona) will start at second along with Braxton Martinez (St. Louis) at third, and Vinny Zarillo (Rutgers) in leftfield. Outfielder Colton Bottomley (Florida Gulf Coast) and pitcher Jack English (Florida Gulf Coast) will also be on the roster. "All five guys were very deserving. I'm excited from them to get the opportunity to play on that stage and be seen by MLB scouts," said Muskrats GM Noah Crane about the selections.
Byrne is hitting .342 with ten stolen basses and 14 runs scored on the year. Martinez has three homeruns; seven runs scored, 13 RBI, and is hitting a team leading .368. Zarillo, the Muskrats leadoff man, has a .333 average with 22 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, and 16 RBI. Bottomley is second on the team in batting average, hitting .342, while driving in a team leading 18 RBI. Closer Jack English has an earned run average of 1.22 with five saves and 27 strikeouts in 29 innings of work.
The Muskrats are in a three way race for the final two playoff spots in the division. Laconia is three and a half games behind the second place Sanford Mainers. The closer race is the third and fourth slots which are currently occupied by Laconia and Keene. Both teams have a 13-14 record and are holding on to the spots by a half a game over North Adams (13-15). "Being healthy is the most important aspect to a successful playoff run. If our roster remains intact we are going to be difficult to beat in a short series," said Crane. "This is the point in the season when teams start to see role players head home and starters getting injured. A team's standing can change wildly in the last two weeks."
The Muskrats had won back to back games before the rain came in this week and cancelled a pair. The first win took a few extra frames against the Valley Blue Sox. Ultimately the Muskrats prevailed with a four run 14th inning and three solid innings of relief from Mariano Rivera, Jr. (Iona). Laconia scored the four runs on six hits and a lot of small ball, starting with a leadoff single by Joey Bielek (Arizona St.). Bielek was driven home on Zarrillo's single to center, which proved to be the game winner.
The next day the Muskrats beat the visiting New Bedford 3-1. All three runs were scored in the third inning, highlighted by the Byrne's single that drove in two men. Shea Spitzbarth (Molloy College) earned the victory for Laconia, pitching seven innings giving up the only run while striking out eight.
Laconia was home last night, hosting Keene. The team will host North Adams tonight before heading out to face off against the Valley Blue Sox. Tuesday will see Laconia in North Adams for the second game out of the last three against a division foe fighting for the last playoff spot. "We play 15 games in 16 days to close the season. If we are going to make a move in the standings now is the time. We still have eight home games left and fans should come out and see this team play. We have a great mix of speed and power and really play quality defense," said Crane.

Having a child at the Maternelle means that I have been spending my precious evenings occupying myself with a generation-old task. Like my grandmother and I am sure my great-grandmother before me, I have been sewing name tags into every jumper, coat, bag, spare pair of trousers etc. that might be taken to school and then lost! NOT my idea of a fun-filled evening!
Since starting this labourious task I have found that my favourite haberdashery shop Entree Des Fournisseurs has solved my problem! They sell beautiful cotton woven etiquettes that can be ironed on!
Entree Des Fournisseurs actually merits its own post, but for now I am just going to sing the praises of its online shop and name tags. The iron-on function is just an added bonus; I would have gotten my name tags there anyway, as the ribbons and colours to choose from are really nice, or at least as nice as name tags can humanly possibly get…
The website is in English and in French and they do deliver internationally!

Require counseling after combat
Letters to the editor for April 1, 2014: PTSD; unionizing college athletes; Chargers stadium; S.D. Opera; Leland Yee; San Onofre; abused boys of Senegal
Counseling should be mandated after combat
Regarding "It was an 8,000 mile sniper shot" (SD In Depth, March 30), my deepest condolences to the Gilliam family for their tragic loss.
The number of suicides and attempted suicides is horrifying. The article states something we've heard many times before: many are reluctant to ask for help because of the stigma attached to psychological care. As a mental health provider, I am well aware that you cannot force someone into treatment. When I see these brave heroes take their lives rather than ask for help, I wish getting psychological help after combat was mandatory and hope that will be the case someday.

Watch out for unions, college football
I have had a 30-year career in industry, much of that dealing with unions. A labor organizer I knew once told an employer who complained about him trying to organize his workers: "Look, I'm here because you screwed up. I have no chance to organize well-treated, happy workers. But if you abuse your workforce, then I get a call and am welcomed with open arms. You have no one to blame but yourself for this."
College football, this is your wake up call ("Students, athletes or employees," Editorial, March 29). If you thought faculty unions were troublesome, wait until you have to deal with a union that represents immature, entitled football players, who hold the key to your multimillion-dollar football program. You do know their first strike will be on alumni weekend? You have no one to blame but ... .
Bruce Higgins
San Diego
College football employee add
Rather than acknowledge that college athletics is on the brink of major change, with the latest ruling by the Chicago office if the NLRB saying that football players at Northwestern University on scholarship are employees, thus have the right to unionize, the U-T Editorial Board decided to take the absurd road and try to compare big-program football players to students.
The argument that students could be considered employees too because they generate benefits for the school is absurd.
Why didn't the editorial compare student-athlete (employees?) to student-employees who wash dishes in the cafeteria? That might have made for a more interesting dialogue.
Students are told when classes are — attendance and readings are partially discretionary — not at all like for football players, where missed practices and less than 100 percent knowledge of the play book can result in demotion or termination (terms "employees" can well relate to).
As we learned when Title IX was enacted in 1972, schools are not exempt from societal advances and funds allocations that discriminate and, now, inappropriate classification of its student-employees.
College sports used to be simply that. Many schools crossed over that threshold years ago. For some it became big business and major sources of funding. Here's hoping the U-T Editorial Board join in on the rational and intelligent and, frankly, more interesting side of the debate rather than continue the absurd road on which it embarked in its March 29 editorial.
Paul Jester

Don't sell land for Chargers stadium
What is the IQ of any person who really believes that selling the land at Qualcomm and the Sports Arena and giving the proceeds to the Chargers does not end up costing the S.D. taxpayer anything? ("Mayor: Chargers stadium talks soon," March 29.) I'm confident our mayor is quite aware of the absurdity of anyone making this comment or taking this position.
If we assume for a moment that selling these properties, which the city should never ever do, generates $500 million, should that money go into the city's general fund or provide the Spanos family the equivalent of winning a massive lottery?

From Silicon Alley Insider:
Google's (GOOG) YouTube is the runaway winner in the general-purpose Web video sharing market: In March, it received 73% of all U.S. visits to video sites, according to Hitwise.
Our question: Who's the YouTube of porn?
Trusty ComScore (SCOR) doesn't release metrics for adult sites, so we ran five big sites through Compete instead. Results: YouPorn (biggest audience) and RedTube (fastest growing) have jumped ahead of the competition.
