text: Herd looks to shed road blues tonight at Tulsa By Doug Smock November 13, 2013 Story Share TULSA, Okla. - Defending Conference USA champion Tulsa isn't defending much these days, except its pride.And its home turf. For a Marshall team playing for high stakes, that's a problem - it is not one of the great road warriors of college football.When the game kicks off at 7:30.EST tonight at H.A. Chapman Stadium, the Thundering Herd (6-3, 4-1) is comfortably favored over the Golden Hurricane (2-7, 1-4). That doesn't make sense in a rivalry that is 4-0 in the other direction, but Tulsa's slide to sixth place in the West Division doesn't make sense, either.What does make sense, to the frustration of the Herd camp, is MU's continued road woes. Entering this season, the Herd was 10-39 in all road games (excluding bowls), 9-23 in league road contests.The pattern has continued this season, in the strangest ways.Ohio? A fumbled kickoff for a Bobcat touchdown, and a funky shovel pass to keep a drive alive killed the Herd.Virginia Tech? It may have been the Herd's best ga]me of the season, but a triple-overtime loss nonetheless.Middle Tennessee? The Herd defense went on siesta and the Blue Raiders won on the final play.Florida Atlantic? A win but a rally from two scores down, finishing with a last-play field goal.The Herd has played much better in its home games, even considering the quality of competition - remember, two probable 0-12 teams have visited Huntington. On the other hand, the Herd has played three bowl-eligible teams on the road, with Florida Atlantic expected to win out for a 6-6 record.The Herd's goal tonight is to narrow the gap between the quality of home and road play. "I think we lose energy," said tight end Gator Hoskins. "I mean, the fans bring a lot of energy [and we're] coming out and starting fast. You play in front of the home fans and they're really behind you. You get on the road, there's a lot of boos, quiet at times."We've just got to come out of there and start fast, be ready to go."The last time the Herd played at Tulsa was two years ago, and that 59-17 loss was probably one of MU's worst in modern times. Using a stiff wind to its advantage, the Golden Hurricane took a 14-0 lead in the first five minutes, recovered a kickoff at the Marshall 16-yard line late in the half and cashed in for a 42-3 lead.Last year in Huntington, the Hurricane twice stopped the Herd on fourth down inside the 20 to escape with a 45-38 win. Several of the Herd's tormentors are still around, notably Trey Watts. The son of former Oklahoma quarterback and former congressman J.C. Watts ripped up the Herd for 111 rushing yards and a 95-yard kickoff return last year.This year, his load is greater than ever - he has rushed for 857 yards, leads the team in receptions with 41, is the primary punt returner (long of 77 yards) and shares kickoff return duties. He has 1,535 all-purpose yards, 5,724 for his career, No. 2 on Tulsa's all-time list. "He's utilized a little like Reggie Bush," said Chuck Heater, MU's defensive coordinator. "He's not quite that kind of guy in space, but they utilize him some that way. A good runner, a running back. His dad's a tremendous person and he comes from good stock."Defensively, Shawn Jackson is back, and he's still a beast. Entering his team-high 47th game, the 6-foot-2, 255-pounder is the program's all-time leader in tackles for loss (50) and sacks (20.5). He anchors a defense that was affected early by the loss of safety Demarco Nelson to academics, and has dropped from first in total defense in 2012 to ninth.Rakeem Cato and the Herd may enjoy passing success tonight - Cato threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns in last year's game - but Marshall likely won't duplicate its 381 rushing yards of the Alabama-Birmingham game."They're a big, strong, very physical front," Marshall offensive coordinator Bill Legg said. "They've got very big, strong, physical linebackers. The coverage concepts allow the safeties to get involved in run support. You could potentially see nine guys attacking the line of scrimmage on a run play." Marshall has a monstrous advantage in quarterbacking, as Tulsa starts redshirt freshman Dane Evans for the third time. The Herd's offensive line is up to the challenge physically, and is improved for the most part on the defensive side. Kick return and coverage units have played pretty well, though the field goal and punt teams are shaky.The Herd carries the momentum of two straight routs. Tulsa just lost its seventh game, a development nobody saw coming."You know, I think it really is just a huge combination," said TU coach Bill Blankenship. "We were going to be really young on defense; we knew that. We did lose a couple of starters to eligibility issues to start the season. Went to play what I think is a really good Bowling Green team on the road and really got it handed to us in the second half after we made some critical mistakes."Offensively, we struggled to find continuity moving the football. We have a couple of really good running backs from a year ago [Watts and Ja'Terian Douglas], but we were reloading in our offensive line, and lost our No. 1 receiver [Keyarris Garrett] in our second ball game."I can't put my finger on one thing, by any stretch, but it's just a year where the averages have caught up to us."But the Golden Hurricane is a pride-filled program that likely will play hard at home on a Thursday night. The last time Marshall played on a Thursday night was that loss to Middle Tennessee.The road may be the No. 1 obstacle for the Herd, which is playing to stay virtually tied with East Carolina in the East Divison race."You go on the road, that's a little more of a challenge, for whatever reason," said Heater. "That's the next step - if you're a good football team, that's not a big deal. When you make that turn, you find a way to win on the road and you play well on the road."That's the next step for us, quite frankly."Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

It was the E39 BMW M5. I worked for a different car magazine when we finally got one in the office, shortly before the 1999 Detroit auto show, if memory serves. The editor-in-chief couldn't wait to get behind the wheel and drive it to his home in one of the Grosser Pointes, but a snowstorm began just before closing time, so he handed me the keys.
I lived less than a mile from the office, in an apartment building just off the Detroit River. I barely made it home on the M5's summer tires.
Last Friday morning, I jumped in a BMW 328i M Sport for my 45-mile morning commute. The winter storm that hit southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois the previous day had made itself known in southeast Michigan. I was running a bit late, so I quietly cursed the car for being bereft of an ice scraper, but I got behind the wheel without looking at the tires. Defroster and bunwarmers were set at full blast. Before I reached Woodward Avenue, a few doors down from my house, I knew that this car didn't even have all-season tires.
I pulled on to Woodward for a "Michigan Left" (a right turn and then a U-turn) before I could find the traction control button. There wasn't much there, what with all the nannies on. I turned it off — later settling in to the "dynamic" mode — andit was clear that this was going to be a long, fun drive to work. In such very slick snow, traction control can bring the car to a virtual stop if the computer figures that neither rear tire is getting traction. I believe that traction control was off completely when I merged onto I-696 West. When I moved a lane over, the Bimmer got seriously sideways, but it was easily corrected. This is where a car's feel and feedback come in handy. Before I had gone half a mile on the freeway, I could see nothing but brake lights, and a banked high-rise ramp several miles ahead might have put the car into the guardrail no matter what I did with the wheel. I jumped off the freeway and drove south to 8 Mile Road, then headed west.
Playing with the t/c switch, I found the Dynamic Mode, which slipped the drive wheels and let the tail slide liberally. I perhaps bumped the stability control limit in this mode once. Mostly, it was slow and steady going, but once I got out of the city and into the rural section of 8 Mile between Detroit and Ann Arbor, I had to worry more about the cars behind me — each one that got too close was an SUV or a CUV, of course — than curves, oncoming traffic, or the ditch. Standing starts from stoplights went like this: light but steady throttle, enough to slide the tail, usually to the right; dial in a bit of oppo; then lift slightly as it settled in. After I turned left in a controlled slide onto Pontiac Trail heading south, I came upon a couple of banked esses that I worried might put me into the ditch. The car slid laterally, but not enough to keep from saving it.
What's usually a fifty-minute drive took more than ninety minutes, in part because I'm still not completely familiar with the surface roads between Detroit and Ann Arbor.
When I got to the office, I finally took a look at the 328i's tires. Yep, there's your problem: Bridgestone Potenza S001s.
Manufacturers, including BMW, equip all vehicles in the Metro Detroit press fleet with winter tires — usually Bridgestone Blizzaks or Continental ContiCrossContacts —
this time of year. Road test editor Chris Nelson drove this Bimmer back from the East Coast last weekend, and somehow BMW missed this one. And we weren't expecting this kind of storm in southeast Michigan. Before I left for work, my wife texted me a photo from behind the wheel of her Blizzak-shod Mazda Miata, which was behind another Miata on I-696, one that obviously also has winter tires.
Four- and all-wheel-drive automotive suppliers hate it when I say this, but those tires are far more important than which — and how many — wheels are driving your car forward. I'm loath to suggest the type of laws regarding seasonal tires that Germany imposes on its driving citizenry, although it probably says something about American drivers that most of us can't be bothered to spend a thousand dollars or so on an extra set of wheels and tires. This is why German automakers don't trust us with diesel urea after-treatment refills.
With all the premium brands emphasizing "luxury experiences" and going out of their way to make the dealership experience "special," why is no one offering a winter tire package that folds in the wheels and tires with monthly payments? A local Audi dealer, on its own, offers such a swap and, for a fee, stores the off-season wheels/tires for its customers. At least, for the ones who understand that it takes more than Quattro to get you safely through a big winter storm like this.

A recent court ruling could have a major impact on the Internet as we know it. Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit struck down the Federal Communication Commission's "Open Internet" rules. The ruling came in a lawsuit brought against the Federal Communications Commission by Verizon in 2011.
These so-called "net neutrality" rules, created by the FCC in 2010, were designed to ensure that service providers should treat all content, sites, and applications equally and shouldn't discriminate against certain traffic based on its source, destination, or message.
While a diverse range of stakeholders supported the FCC's net neutrality efforts, most in the telecommunications industry did not. Verizon's legal challenge wasn't the only resistance that the rules have faced. Before this most recent development, the House of Representatives also voted in favor of a resolution to strike down the rules.
There's a lot at stake here for consumers, who are continually living more of their lives on the Internet. As consolidation continues in the telecommunications market, this decision gives a few cable and phone providers a lot of control in deciding what users can and can't access on the Internet.
Without net neutrality rules in place, these providers are free to give preferential treatment to the content they profit from—whether it's their own or content that comes through arrangements they make with outside content providers. Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, highlighted this concern when NBC (a media/content company) moved to purchase Comcast (an Internet service provider).
And there's nothing to prevent service providers from passing costs on to consumers.
While the court's decision struck a serious blow to the effort to keep the Internet accessible and competitive, net neutrality isn't gone yet. The panel of judges reaffirmed the FCC's authority in principle to regulate broadband Internet service. The ball is now back in the FCC's court to create and implement new rules to ensure a level playing field for everyone on the web.
Consumers Union has long supported the FCC's efforts on net neutrality and has worked at keep them in place. We believe that the Internet should remain as free and open as it has been from it inception.
Now is the time for the FCC to take action to restore the balance between consumers and big business on the Internet. We are committed to continuing our efforts to work with regulators and lawmakers to ensure that consumers can access and enjoy all the Internet has to offer.

The Hanoi police yesterday prosecuted Nguyen Dac Thang, 19, a former national boxer, for illegally possessing weapons, including a shotgun, bullets, a knife, and a crossbow.
On October 30, after they broke up a fight between Thang and some other young men at the Tran Phu – Tong Duy Tan junction, they searched him and found the weapons.
After being arrested, Thang, a resident of Ba Dinh District, confessed to the police that he had intended to use them in the fight. He reportedly bought the gun in the northern province of Lang Son for VND10 million (US$480). It was the third time he had been caught with illegal weapons, the police said. Last September the Ba Dinh District police fined him VND5 million for possessing a crossbow and a knife. Last month later he was penalized VND6 million for having a homemade gun. Thang had dropped out of boxing last July and set up auto components trading company in Long Bien District, local authorities said.

Keep an Eye to the Sky For The Meteor Shower Tonight
If last week's "blood moon" eclipse wasn't enough extraterrestrial excitement for you, tonight will be another night to keep an eye on the sky for a celestial show.
The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks tonight (actually, early tomorrow morning), and is one of the more active yearly shows for sky watchers.
If you're wondering, "can I see the meteor shower in New Jersey tonight?" meteorologist Alan Kasper is calling for partly cloudy skies in Ocean County, but if the clouds get in the way, the folks at Space.com will be offering web casts, where you can watch from the comfort of your couch without worrying about cloud cover.
If you catch any good shooting stars tonight, be sure to tell us about it in the comments section!

Middle Name or Names?
Hey loves!
Would two middle names be too much? I would like to name my kids in a English First Name English Middle Name Igbo Middle Name format, so they can embrace their Nigerian heritage, of course they wouldn't be walking around answering to the whole thing, but those would be their names. For example if my son was named Jude Aaron Obiuto, I might call him Jude or sometimes Obi. What do you think? All suggestions are appreciated!

I personally like more than one middle name, both because it's unique and because I love way too many names to just use two per child!
August 23rd, 2012 04:06 AM #5
I don't think it's too much, especially because you will be honouring their heritage. I quite like two middle names, i'm bad enough at coming up with First & Middle combos to attempt it myself though!Leo Sebastian l Ronan Alexander

About Dr. Koplin
Dr. Koplin believes that a good plastic surgeon must be a skilled expert, a perfectionist, and an artist who's able to visualize results
Lawrence M. Koplin, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a native of Beverly Hills, California, where he attended both elementary and high school. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California at Berkeley in 1972. His medical training was at The Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he trained with noted heart surgeons Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley, followed by a full five-year general surgery residency in Los Angeles prior to beginning his specialization in plastic surgery.
Dr. Koplin returned to Houston for his plastic surgery residency, where he acquired extensive experience in the treatment of children with birth defects, multiple reconstructive techniques, and a wide range of cosmetic procedures. He also had the opportunity to study under Dr. Thomas Cronin, inventor of the silicone breast implant. Under Dr. Cronin's tutelage, Dr. Koplin received specialized experience in all aspects of breast surgery, including augmentation (placement of implants), reduction, uplifts and reconstruction following mastectomy.
An author of multiple articles and several book chapters on plastic surgery, Dr. Koplin holds double board certification in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, and is regarded as an innovative artist in the field of plastic surgery. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
He is a member of or in good standing of the:
- American Board of Plastic Surgery
- American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
- Fellow of the American College of Surgeons
- California Medical Board
- American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc.
Dr. Koplin believes that a good plastic surgeon must be a skilled expert, a perfectionist, and an artist who's able to visualize results. His artistry is well-known: people travel from all over the world to see Dr. Koplin, who has acquired a reputation for plastic surgery that produces beautiful, natural–looking results. He's also developed a reputation for being able to fix surgeries that didn't turn out well and enhancing procedures that didn't quite achieve their desired result.
As an expert, perfectionist, and artist, Dr. Koplin has developed and refined innovative facial and body rejuvenation techniques that often include multiple smaller changes rather than singular obvious ones, for more natural-looking results. His specialties include breast enlargement and reduction, body sculpting through liposuction, rejuvenation of the aging face, neck and eyelids, and natural fat transfer (fat-grafting).
Innovation in the Field of Fat Transfer
A pioneer of the natural fat-transfer technique, Dr. Koplin has been using this specialized technique for over 20 years to sculpt the face and body. Natural fat transfer provides youthful softness and fullness, softening wrinkles, adding fullness to aging faces, shaping natural-looking breasts and more. Dr. Koplin uses this technique to enhance cosmetic surgery, perform reconstructive repair, and as a stand-alone procedure to make people look years younger without traditional "cutting" surgery. He strongly believes that fat-transfer is a much better, safer, healthier and "greener" alternative to the hundreds of expensive artificial fillers flooding the aesthetic marketplace today.
Comfort and Privacy
All of Dr. Koplin's patients—from secretaries to celebrities—are assured a professional atmosphere of privacy and pampering. He treats a wide spectrum of patients, male and female, in his Beverly Hills office and state-of-the-art surgical and recovery center.
Dr. Koplin also enjoys occasional trips to South and Central America where he attends children in need and assists in the training of local plastic surgeons.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling on the Chinese government to explain itself following attacks on on the Internet accounts of human rights activists that apparently originated from there.
"We look to the Chinese government for an explanation," she said in a statement. "The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy."
Google is threatening to pull out of China if the company can't renegotiate what has been its controversial policy of cooperating with Chinese government Internet censorship activities. Google, along with other Internet giants, has come under fire before for aiding Chinese Internet censorship and persecution of free speech by Chinese Internet monitors.
In 2006, Yahoo admitted giving the Chinese government information on activists that led to their arrests and imprisonment. The State Department has been meeting with top Internet leaders lately ahead of their planned push for more Internet-based diplomacy, which will be outlined in a major policy address by Clinton on Jan. 21.

Citizenship test questions
Whoo hoo, I answered 10 out of 10 questions correctly! These questions represent some of those asked of applicants on their tests to become U.S. citizens. Glad to know I can pass at least the sample questions. Gaining citizenship to Australia and New Zealand is much more difficult than moving to the USA. Last year we checked into moving to Australia and then New Zealand. We were turned down flat. . . do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00. Anyway, I put a link to the "test" on my sidebar for those who might wish to try it for fun.

School, Department, and Instructor Determinants of Assessment Methods in Undergraduate Economics Courses
We identify factors related to instructors' choice of assessment methods in undergraduate economics courses, using national survey data collected in 1995, 2000, and 2005. Respondents were asked to indicate which of 10 different assessment methods they used in four different types of courses (principles, intermediate theory, econometrics and statistics, and other upper-division field courses), and to provide background information on school, department, and individual factors that might influence the choice of assessment methods, including time spent on research vs teaching, perceived incentives/rewards for those activities in their departments and schools, class size, and the individual instructor's rank, years of teaching experience, gender, and native language. Both probit and OLS specifications show most of these individual variables to be important in determining the choice of assessment methods in at least some types of courses, but only rarely across all types of courses. Two variables reflecting school missions and departmental policies are, however, important determinants of using essay questions and longer written assignments, such as term papers: class size (especially classes with more than 40 students) and semester teaching loads for faculty members.

Undefined reference to libiconv
I was trying to install MagicPoint and got the following error message during 'make':
draw.o(.text+0x78b3): In function `xft_draw_fragment':
Maybe you should try download and install this package :
I already have it installed.
Did you run ldconfig as root ?
No result. What does it do? Any other parameters than just "ldconfig"?
ldconfig updates the shared libraries links, so new installed
libraries are found by ld and the undefined reference should
go away
There is no other parameter, you run ldconfig and it updates
links following /etc/ld.so.conf (In fact ldconfig has more option
but none will be usefull here)
Where the libiconv is installed ? in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib ?
(if /usr/local/lib, make sure this dir is in /etc/ld.so.conf)
Also try a ./configure again, then make
So I should do
ldconfig /usr/lib/libiconv.so
- that is the file placement - and then reattempt ./confgure?
No, just type : ldconfig
Also maybe there is a ./configure option to
disable libiconv, I don't know, try ./configure --help
The application Im compiling (stepmania) dosnt have the option to disable iconv, and Im getting.
RageUtil_CharConversions.o: In function `ConvertFromCharset(StdString::CStdStr<char>&, char const*)':
RageUtil_CharConversions.cpp:(.text+0x23): undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
RageUtil_CharConversions.cpp:(.text+0x96): undefined reference to `libiconv'
RageUtil_CharConversions.cpp:(.text+0xa0): undefined reference to `libiconv_close'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [stepmania] Error 1
Iv also installed libiconv-1.11.tar.gz and run ldconfig, so not sure whats going on.
I was getting the same errors trying to compile PHP. Interestingly I only started getting the errors after installing iconv-1.11 (I needed it for another application.)
The iconv files sit inside /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include, and I've ran ldconfig with the right directories, and the other applications that depend on iconv have compiled successfully.
In the end I've had to add --without-iconv to PHP's configure line.
same here
i always had problem with compiling libiconv on PHP
in the end, i can't get any XSLT features again
undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
To fix this error:
undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
Run configure like this:
[root@hotstname project-version]# ./configure CFLAGS=-liconv
I had a problem similar to this with Neverwinter Nights, it requires libiconv. However another piece of software requires the iconv that is part of the glibc packet. To fix the problem I had to remove libiconv, reinstall glibc and then compile the software I had the problem with. I then reinstalled libiconv for Neverwinter Nights. Both bits of software now work fine.
./configure LIBS="-liconv"

Bow Hunting Articles
Location : Full Articles : Hunting Equipment Tips and Tricks : Bow Hunting Articles
Articles targeted to help you with all aspects of bowhunting, including; sighting, practising, equipment selection.
Bow and arrow hunting has been the preferred hunting method in almost all prehistoric to modern day civilizations, till the advent of hand held firearms. Even today, bowhunting is supposed to be more difficult than firearm hunting because of the physical effort that goes into hunting game. The hunter needs to get real close to the game and use his sheer muscle power to propel the arrow to the game. Different skills are required to hunt with a bow and arrow than those of a rifle hunter.
The gear and equipment for bow hunting would include your bow, arrows, sight, stabilizer, wrist strap, quiver, clothing, hunting gear case etc. You can choose from among stick bows, recurves, compound bows or cross bows. Arrows are also of many types and must be selected with great thought. There are numerous models of sights available with many using fiber optic pins. A stabilizer is meant to help you make a balanced shot. Some types also help to reduce vibration for a smoother and quieter shot. A wrist strap will prevent the bow leaving your hand during the recoil following a shot.

There was little room to spare in Los Altos Hills' City Council Chambers Jan. 14 as residents and guests jammed the space for the evening's hottest topic – selecting a concessionaire to run Westwind Community Barn.
"We should have charged admission, because this was a really great show," said Councilman Rich Larsen of the presentations.
Since the town assumed management of the barn in 1998, the facility has operated under a deficit. Councilmembers expressed optimism that an experienced concessionaire could increase the barn's revenue and restore it to full operation. Although the town will continue to provide maintenance, 24-hour surveillance and barn oversight, the new manager will oversee commercial boarding, parks and recreation riding programs, facility scheduling and 4-H equine services.
Choosing between two candidates – young riding instructor Torie Dye and 30-year veteran Laura Stevens – the council voted 3-2 to accept Dye's bid. Her three-year contract is slated to begin Feb. 1.
The selection process
Appearing before the council last week for final interviews, Dye and Stevens conveyed their passion for horses and their commitment to cultivating human-equine bonds.
Based on the number of people who attended the meeting to support her, Dye shouldn't lack for riding students at Westwind. Dye has served as head instructor/program manager at Fremont Hills Stables in Los Altos Hills. She revealed plans to expand Westwind's Pacific Ridge Pony Club as part of a larger effort to boost boarding revenue.
Stevens shared a vision for a barn focused on trail riding and balancing community programs with boarding.
Councilmembers volleyed questions between candidates before laying out their opinions.
"If I were a manager and these were my employees, how would I look at the assignment?" Councilman John Harpootlian said of the hiring decision. "Is the one person ready for it or does she need some additional experience? We may be giving Torie a more difficult challenge than she's ready for. The more conservative route would be to select someone who has quite a bit more management experience."
Harpootlian ultimately cast his vote for Stevens.
Larsen, a Dye supporter, seemed more confident in his decision.
"As a guy who comes from the high-tech knowledge world, I'd like to see a Westwind Barn 2.0," he said. "I think we need some change. We need somebody with vision and skills to create new programs, to get more kids involved, to get more Los Altos Hills residents involved."
A flurry of emails sent to town staff and councilmembers prior to last week's meeting showed support for both candidates, but the mobilization of a cadre of supporters on Dye's behalf at the meeting may have swayed opinion in her direction. Dye's students and other advocates wore colorful campaign buttons and praised her when they stepped to the podium, vouching for her capabilities as a riding instructor and leader. For every comment in support of Stevens, Dye received four.
Councilwoman Courtenay C. Corrigan, who voted for Dye, said the decision proved "one of the toughest nights" on the council.
During the first year under new Westwind management, the town voted to allocate no more than $72,000 for operating subsidies, $10,000 for a one-time mobilization fee and a monthly boarding subsidy not to exceed $72,000 annually. Subsidy allocations will be reviewed and adjusted after the first six months of operation and council anticipates a reduction in subsidies over time.
The council also approved a $115,000 contract for renovation and repair work to the facility's lower arena.
Dye said she is eager to jump-start programs and plans to host a welcome barbecue at the barn to kick off her community engagement efforts.
"My biggest priority is to revitalize Westwind Barn and bring it back to the wonderful place it can be … to get all user groups reinvolved," she said.

Our title? First Pests

CHILMARK - Cue the theme from "Jaws.''
It's been 35 years since Steven Spielberg filmed the ultimate shark flick on Martha's Vineyard. But the species of predator that will invade the island over the next few days is far more insatiable and dangerous than an underfed great white.
It's . . . it's . . . the news media!
Soldiers and Marines are dying in Afghanistan daily. Then there's that guy with nukes in North Korea who looks like Roy Orbison in a bad suit. And, of course, there is the debate over health care reform, which, after seeing how Barney Frank's session in Dartmouth went the other day, belongs not in town halls but the studios of "The Jerry Springer Show.''
But why cover any of this boring stuff when you can spend millions of dollars and countless hours covering . . . the first family's vacation!
It's been many years since Bill Clinton gummed up the Vineyard, but having traversed this magnificent island, it is obvious that this is going to be much bigger and far nuttier.
By the time Clinton waltzed around the links at Farm Neck with Vernon Jordan, he had been president for a while. And let's be honest: He's no Barack Obama.
This is like Mick Jagger, Bono, and The Boss getting off the ferry from Woods Hole all at once.
The president will stay in Chilmark, but when he wades into Oak Bluffs, it's going to be like Springsteen walking down the boardwalk in Asbury Park.
Islanders are alternately excited and terrified at the prospect of Obama coming here.
Excited because, well, it's pretty cool to think the president of the United States wants to vacation on your island.
Terrified because, well, it's hard enough to get around the island when the only thing you have to worry about is some family from Maryland stopping their SUV every 100 feet to snap pictures of South Beach.
But it isn't the first family and the Secret Service agents everybody's worried about.
"It's you people,'' a nice man from New York named Michael Joyce said, bouncing his finger off my chest at The Wharf in Edgartown.
We have met the enemy, and it is us.
Media interests tried to sneak a fast one by the Chilmark townies, never a smart or easy thing to do. Up-island cellphone reception is notoriously lousy. But when media types showed up a couple of weeks ago looking for a new cell tower on Peaked Hill, the selectmen, led by the great J.B. Riggs Parker, told them to take a hike.
J.B. didn't blink when somebody claimed the White House wanted the tower. J.B. is 76 years old, used to be a lawyer in Philly, and is not easily conned.
"We told them no,'' J.B. said. "End of story.''
If only J.B. was doing the stand-ups we're going to have to endure the next week. Get ready for ubiquitous shots of The Black Dog T-shirts and cutesy references to Bo, the First Dog. There will be obsequious interviews with members of the African-American intelligentsia, who have summered here for generations and who will be tugged at by producers from the various cable networks like mail-order brides at a "Star Trek'' convention.
FOX News can do remotes from outside any number of the 29 nursing homes on the island, hinting broadly that the president might convene a death panel to bump off some grannies taking up beds better used by fawning anchors.
Thinking about enjoying a romantic sunset with your honey and a bottle of wine out at Menemsha? Be prepared to be assaulted by some guy with a microphone asking how it feels to be on the same island as the most powerful man in the world.
"Hi, we're live from Aquinnah and we just startled some people into falling off the cliffs. Film at 11.''
This is going to be awful. A train wreck.
I can't wait.

Fueling issues cause delays at RDU
Posted December 21, 2011
Morrisville, N.C. — A computer glitch that prevented fuel from reaching planes at Raleigh-Durham International Airport Tuesday morning delayed about three dozen flights, airport officials said.
At about 4:30 a.m., the computer system that monitors fuel at the airport falsely indicated that there was a fuel emergency. Despite the mistake by the computer, the entire system was shut down as a precautionary measure.
Officials said it took about two hours for the system to completely reboot, causing delays that lasted between 15 minutes and an hour for most travelers. They said they weren't sure how many travelers were impacted.
The first flights, scheduled to take off around 6 a.m., were delayed until about 7 a.m., officials said.
Southwest Airlines, which flies out of Terminal 1, was the only airline not affected by the glitch since it doesn't use the same fuel farm as other airlines at RDU, officials said.
Airport officials said they weren't sure what caused the issue, but said departure times returned to normal by about 10 a.m.
"We are looking at a contingency plan throughout the day and the holidays to make sure we're ready in case it happens again," RDU spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin said. "Everything is working as it should be. We don't expect that (system) to do it again. This is the first time this has ever happened."

Where We're At
It's a good time of the year to say thank you. Thank you for supporting us, reading our articles, giving us feedback, perusing our stats, linking to us, buying our Annual, etc. This gig would be no fun without you, that's for sure. It seems as though we're providing something some of you folks appreciate. That was the goal.
In 2006, our traffic grew 50% over 2005 and the quality of our articles continued to be outstanding (if I do say so myself). So many of you linked to THT's articles that striketwo usually lists THT as the first- or second-most "influential" blog, along with Internet luminaries (and friends) Baseball Musings and Deadspin.
In fact, you managed to raise our profile to the point that we're now listed in the Wikipedia sabermetrics entry as one of three "Sabermetric Groups" (along with Baseball Prospectus and SABR itself—pretty heady company).
My "Ten Things" column received some attention, including a mention by Sports Illustrated. And we were slyly referenced in that sabermetric episode of NUMB3RS in which a baseball geek develops a formula that conclusively proves which players are taking steroids. The geek's website was called The Boxscore Times (Hey CBS, our lawyers will be calling you!), and I'm pretty sure the baseball geek was modeled after David Gassko. Just a feeling.
Anyway, thanks again. Believe it or not, in a few months, The Hardball Times will officially begin its fourth year. This being the end of the calendar year and all, we thought you might like an update regarding what's been happening at THT in our third year of operation, and what we have planned for next year.
You're supposed to be impressed that we actually have plans.
The big thing on our minds right now is the Annual. Last year's Annual was published by ACTA Publications and picked up by Amazon and several bookstores, and we sold about five times as many copies as our first Annual. We're pretty happy with the way this year's Annual turned out, and sales are off to an even better start than last year. So, our first plan is to continue to publish the Annual. Our second plan is to add a second book, something for the beginning of Spring Training. We'll have a more detailed announcement when we figure out what the heck we're doing.
Bryan Donovan doesn't write articles, but he has performed amazing feats of programming with our statistics. In fact, our stats pages are visited as often as our articles are. Plus, we've developed a strong relationship with David Appelman and his Fangraphs site, which only adds to the depth and variety of statistics available to readers of both sites. We plan to add more statistics next year, including some fielding stats courtesy of John Dewan, as well as batted-ball statistics similar to those published in this year's Annual.
The biggest change of the year, however, is that our co-founder and spiritual leader, Aaron Gleeman, is no longer involved with the site. Aaron has parlayed his baseball-writing-from-bed habit into a full-time gig at NBCSports.com, covering football, baseball and who knows, maybe curling too. Aaron had the vision and set the tone for THT early on, and although he didn't contribute many articles the past year he was still editing the site. Alas, Aaron will have to give up any involvement with THT at all, due to the demands on his time from people who actually pay him.
We would wish Aaron luck in his new endeavors, but we know that would be redundant to how he's actually going to do. The key thing for you to know is that THT will not only continue without Aaron, we will continue to grow.
Losing writers isn't new for us. Several of our writers have gone on to bigger things. Both Dan Fox and Maury Brown were hired by Baseball Prospectus this year, for instance. We like to think of such things as compliments to the site. In fact, (Steve Treder and I are the only writers who have contributed steadily since our inception. Which means that we're the worst writers on the site ever.
Our current crop of writers is probably the strongest we've ever had. This year, we added skilled writers such as Chris Constancio, Sal Baxamusa, Geoff Young and the ubiquitous Jeff Sackmann, and we're always on the lookout for more writing talent. There's a pattern here: every one of our new writers had established a level of excellent writing elsewhere (case in point is Geoff Young's Ducksnorts blog, where he's been posting for five years) and then come to The Hardball Times to contribute and raise his profile a bit.
It's nice that we've become known as one of the leading sabermetric research sites, but that's not really our goal. All we want to do is provide interesting, insightful baseball commentary that a reasonably intelligent, curious baseball fan would appreciate. Our motto, Baseball. Insight. Daily. says it all. We're not a research site; we're a simple baseball commentary site. And, if we provide a place where good writers can contribute, learn more, and raise their public profile, that's even better.
Like every success story, there are people behind the scenes. For us, those people are our editors, Carolina Bolado and Bryan Tsao. Every night, they log into the site and clean up the messy articles the rest of us write before publishing them. Carolina probably edited two-thirds of last year's articles herself.
I'm happy to say, no, thrilled to say, that Bryan Tsao has stepped into Aaron's role as chief editor of the site very nicely. Bryan has spearheaded our newest THT feature, the THT Mailbag, and he has lots of other great ideas. In fact, with Bryan's new role and so many fine new writers, the energy at THT is higher than it's been in a while. I'm certain you'll notice the difference, if you haven't already.
The Hardball Times is primarily a voluntary effort. We do make money from ads on the site and book sales, but our costs (buying stats, web operations, publishing) run into five figures and eat most of that revenue up. If there's money left over, we split it up with our editors and writers, but it's not much. I'm not telling you this to ask you to buy the Annual (I assume you already have); I'm just pointing out that THT is a labor of love. If you like what you see, it's due to the immense pride that we all take in what we do.
If you would like to work in an environment like that, we are looking for more behind-the-scenes help. In particular, we need one or two new editors to help with the workload of creating and posting articles. We're also looking for help with our graphics designs and layout (know Photoshop?).
And Bryan Donovan could definitely use some help with the stats and site programming. If you have a strong knowledge of PHP, SQL query writing and MySQL, as well as some comfort with UNIX, HTML and CSS, drop us a line.
For more information on joining the THT team, check out this post by Bryan.
There is a lot of energy at THT, a lot of plans cooking and a lot of opportunity to contribute. Hopefully, we will continue to engage you and keep you coming back. If there is something you'd like to see added to the site, drop Bryan or me an e-mail. We promise we'll get back to you… eventually.
Happy Holidays, and Happy Baseball.

New York City
New York City is where millions of immigrants first set their feet on American soil at Ellis Island. It is home to the Empire State Building, one of the most famous buildings in the world that stands 1,454 feet tall and took seven million man-hours to build. Beneath the city lies a complex underground infrastructure of subways, sewers and water tunnels. And above ground, well, get your maps.
In any big city, have an up-to-date street map. Confirm directions given to you with the map before heading into town. Have your route planned.
Go in early and save time. It's best to be at your destination by 6:00 a.m. before the traffic starts. If you get stuck in rush hour traffic, you'll waste two hours.
Most of Brooklyn and Bronx is accessible to trucks. Manhattan has passed very strict laws regarding truck traffic. Only a short tractor and trailer can go in, with a maximum total length of 55 feet and no more than 8-feet wide. The fines are very high and you cannot simply pay one off. You have to return to the jurisdiction where the fine was given, hire a lawyer and appear in court.
Be safety-wise. Always lock your truck. Keep your money in your front pocket or hidden from sight. Never have your wallet where someone can snatch it. Don't act afraid or intimidated; you'll look like an easy target. Go about your business, but keep your eyes and ears open.
If you get disoriented, especially in Brooklyn, be wary of someone offering to guide you back to the freeway. Most likely, he'll ride on your sideboard and direct you until you're in a position that you have to rely on him to get back out. Then he'll demand money for his "services."
The Hunts Point Market in Bronx is a common delivery spot. However, trucks are not allowed on Hunts Point Avenue so don't plan that in your route. Since many trucks come to that area with food and produce, it's a prime spot for hoodlums to help themselves to the edible cargo.
If someone breaks in your trailer, they probably have a lot of help. It is not advisable to jump out and try to scare them off. Keep driving and don't stop. A moving truck makes a harder target.
Trucks go in and out of the city everyday. Just be careful and stay away from prostitute hot spots where there's always trouble, scams and drugs.

LONDON (Sep. 13)
An Anglican Bishop's suggestion that the governments concerned sacrifice Jewish hostages in order to free their own nationals held by Arab terrorists in the Jordanian desert was denounced by former Labor Cabinet Minister Richard H.S. Crossman Friday. Mr. Crossman, appearing on a BBC panel discussion with former Conservative Minister Duncan Sandys. referred to a suggestion advanced by Bishop Trevor Huddleston whose Stepney diocese includes the predominantly Jewish district of Whitechapel. Mr. Crossman said it was incredible that a Bishop of the Church of England should advocate such a proposition. Both he and Mr. Sandys agreed that Israel would be justified in entering Jordan if the chaos there continued and the Hussein government was unable to control the country.

Brandi Glanville may be all smiles while attending her sons' baseball games – but she set the record straight with her relationship with Leann Rimes on Twitter.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote on May 13: "I thanked @leannrimes on twitter4 my flowers. Our relationship is that we still dont even say hi at baseball. I dont have her number-thats it."
E! News reports when blogger NaughtyorNiceRob asked who gets to spend Mother's Day with her kids – Brandi replied: "me-always."
She also shared some photos on her Twitter page of 5-year-old Jake. In one snapshot he's carrying two cans of diet root beer.
"My mothers day pool side waiter!"
In another – he's in the car where she says, "Future rap star"
For her Mother's Day dinner she proudly displayed a Slim Jim.
Will the feud ever stop? Last month the Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders author told E! that she was ready to move on from fighting with Leann and her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.
She said, "I stick to my word…when I can. Yes, I have a temper, but I've been really good just hitting a pillow a few times. Honestly, I want all of us to move on to a different conversation. I want them to do well in their lives, and I want to move on from talking about them in every interview. If you need someone to play the crazy ex, I'm here."

Flickr's statistics product was built to give users insight into the ways that people are finding their photos, by providing traffic counts broken down by any combination of photo, date, referring page or search term. To display this information we're storing "almost real-time" referral counts for all 2 billion photos on Flickr and creating nightly rollup reports for hundreds of thousands of accounts.
This session will examine every aspect of how a four-person team designed and built this system, from initial product development to post launch operational issues. We'll look at a number of technical implementation details, including techniques for graph rendering and the optimization of MySQL to handle large-scale data collection.
We'll also discuss how a handful of simple architecture patterns — federation, background tasks, caching and buffering — allow Flickr to quickly create products like this at scale and how you can do the same.
Paul Hammond is a web developer, product manager and father. He has been building websites for as long as he can remember, and now leads a team of hardworking supernerds at Flickr.

Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday signed into law legislation that grants $300 million to Michigan universities and community colleges, including $30 million to CMU.
With House Bill 5541, sponsored by state Rep. Eileen Kowall, R-White Lake, the state will fund more than $304 million for18 construction projects statewide.
"These investments allow higher education in Michigan to stay on the cutting-edge," Snyder said in a statement. "Our colleges and universities play a critical role in Michigan's future. I am pleased that we are able to support these worthwhile projects."The CMU bio-sciences building will have research labs, classrooms and facilities for biotechnology and medical classes.
Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm had approved the project in 2010, but Snyder's office in 2011 asked for preliminary designs for consideration.
Other science buildings at CMU include Industrial Engineering and Technology Building; Dow Science Complex for chemistry, geography and physics; Brooks Hall for biology and the Dow Health Professions building with the medical school addition.
Since 1992, CMU has received $166.6 million in capital outlay, according to the Michigan House of Representatives Fiscal Agency.
Projects include the Music building, a Park Library remodel, the Education and Human Services building and the Health Professions building, according to the Senate Fiscal Agency. The funding for the latter three projects was $37.5 million each, with the state paying the majority share.
Also receiving capital outlay funding are $8.9 million for Mid-Michigan Community College to unify the Mount Pleasant campus and $9.9 million for Delta College's Health and Wellness wing renovations.

Junior Strings Project At Rncm Manchester
#1 Guest: zoda_*
Posted 14 November 2004 - 16:02
It seems 120 children of all abilities are currently on this course - they start at age 6 on a "first come, first served" basis - there is no entrance assessment. From such average beginnings they have had something like 6 or 8 (can't remember) people go on to Chethams, and 2 join the National Youth Orchestra.
They don't learn a musical instrument for a whole year- for the first year they do one two part lesson each week, one part of which is 45 mins learning about music through singing via this "Kodaly method", and the other part is 45 minutes linking music to movement in a method called "Dalcroze Eurythmics". After a year they start an instrument, but the Dalcroze/Kodaly lessons continue in addition throughout.
It makes me wonder if I'm going about things the right way starting straight off with instrumental lessons - I'm going to enquire as to whether there are any Kodaly or Dalcroze teachers in my area (Chester).
I found the above very interesting but I suspect even though the plan is not meant to be elitist, that knowledge of it may be restricted to those "in the know" simply by lack of advertising. Accordingly if anyone is interested the numbers given (which I intend to ring next week) are:
Rachel Lasance - 0161 907 5398

I know both of the teachers very well - Karin Greenhead (Dalcroze) and Luke Dunlea (Kodaly). They teach the two approaches to post-grad RNCM students - both at their own level of musicianship and also the methodology to allow them to teach the approaches themselves.
We run a similar course for children at the Junior Guildhall in London - again, the children learn them for a year or two years prior to learning an instrument, something that I am TOTALLY in favour of. 'A child who plays before he sings may remain unmusical for a lifetime'.... I presume you're interested in this for your own children??
Please just ask if you want to know more about either approach. I have attended several Dalcroze classes and work closely with Dalcroze teachers (several who are products of the Junior Strings project), so I know a fair bit about it although I'm not Dalcroze-trained. I AM Kodaly-trained, though!
Good luck in your pursuit of K & D teachers - please let me know if I can help in any way.

What would be really helpful is if you have any tips for finding a Kodaly or Dalcroze teacher in the Chester area? I have been to their British Websites and there doesn't seem to be much of a list. Having worked out the logistics, I am disappointed to say the Junior strings project looks like too much travel after a school day - a 2 hour round trip without the usual Manchester traffic, plus 1.5 hours lessons, with the added problem of what to do with little brother. And that would be twice a week after the first year. It's a real shame because this project is the first opportunity I've seen to jump into the musical mainstream rather than dip our toes in the margins, and it sounds like the children get a good grounding without it ever feeling like effort.

By the way, for anyone like me whose knowledge of the world of music doesn't extend far beyond what they have read on this website, I found out during my phone call that "Kodaly" doesn't sound like "cuddly" with an "O" - it sounds like "Kode- ai - ee".

It took me a while to make the connection between Cyrilla's "Kodaly" and my music teacher's "Kode-ai-ee" as well! Pronouncation can be so confusing...

Keep me posted re your efforts, zoda! I know how difficult it is to find teachers of either disciplines in all areas of the country - there aren't that many of us around and - as with all teachers - there are bad eggs around as well as good ones. I've just heard of someone who has done TWO DAYS TRAINING who is employed by a university as a Kodaly teacher..*FUME*

It's actually very hard to describe a Hungarian accent! Hungarian has to be one of the hardest languages as it isn't like any other - but I love to listen to it.
I'm very sad at the moment as my golden goddess of Kodaly pedagogy - one of the most wonderful teachers and pedagogues I am ever likely to meet and the person I try to emulate more than any other - died last Saturday aged 54 - so I can hear HER voice loud and clear in my head (replete with American accent and colloquialisms!).

I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that Kodaly is so hard to find even in the UK...and its a pity that there isn't (or didn't used to be, anyway) much in the way of accessible or self-taught materials. I ordered a book unseen from an overseas catalogue once, and found that it depended so heavily on some other, un-named book that it was totally useless. Just enough to tantalize...
So, MORE MATERIALS PLEASE, if any Kodaly teachers or course developers are out there!! Publish, publish, publish! Record, record, record!
... thank you!

Allears - there ARE published Kodaly materials but it really isn't the sort of thing you can self-teach very effectively - the books are best used after attending courses.
A major BKA project at the moment is developing a musicianship curriculum and exam structure. Presently we only have three levels of solfege attainment (Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced) which are achieved after a year's part-time study (one evening a week). We want to break this down into smaller chunks so that children/young people who are studying in a variety of teaching and learning situations can also take exams.
Our current idea is that there would be one or two Foundation levels (for very young children or adults who are complete beginners), then grades 1-4 (equivalent to our current Elementary), grades 5-8 (Intermediate) and a Diploma (Advanced). Well, that's the idea! We're toiling away at this but it's very early days. WHEN we have this sorted we will be producing teachers' and pupils' books and materials.
So watch this space!!
