Teenagers and turnovers. That is essentially what doomed Carroll, which eight days ago was regarded by many to be the best team in northeast Indiana. This morning Doug Dinan's team woke up in sixth place in the NHC. That is unbelievable. As is high school football in this area.
Carroll losing at East Noble isn't a massive surprise; the Knights are pretty good and now control their own destiny in a quest for at least a share of the NHC championship. But it's how they lost (eight turnovers) to an East Noble team, which didn't even play its most productive player (leading rusher and scorer senior running back Brandon Mable sat out the game due to suspension), that was so shocking.
But Carroll's outcome wasn't the only eye-popper from Friday, far from it, in fact.
Sticking in the NHC, Bellmont got by Homestead 14-13 in overtime to beat Sparty for the first time since the Brave seniors were in diapers (18 years), if they were even alive.
Homestead hadn't been beaten in league play in 28 games, but they have been now, and the NHC is a muddled mess (five teams within a game of leader New Haven) because of it.
"New Haven is still undefeated," Knight coach Luke Amstutz said. "We'll get our shot at it eventually, but we've got to take it (one game at a time) and beat Norwell."
That whole "one game at a time" shtick is for real. The fans and media may not buy it, but how do you think Snider coach Kurt Tippmann was feeling as Concordia Lutheran lined up for a game-winning attempt on a two-point conversion late Friday?
The Cadets' upset bid (they've now lost to the Panthers seven straight times) fell short in a 14-13 loss, but the margin demonstrates that no one ever really knows how a particular game will unfold.
Snider is one of just two unbeaten squads remaining in Summit Athletic Conference play, but neither the Panthers nor co-leader Bishop Dwenger has proven infallible.
Snider squeaked by Northrop 35-28 two weeks ago, and the Bruins have fallen off of the football map over the last 14 days.
The Saints needed a furious rally (and possibly some divine intervention) to survive at North Side earlier this month. Every week is a "must watch" for area fans and a "must prepare" for area teams.
For a rare occurrence on Friday, Bishop Dwenger was actually regarded as an underdog in its game at Ohio-power Cincinnati LaSalle. However, when Saint senior Ryan Watercutter managed to intercept a Lancer pass in the end zone in overtime, the play preserved a 31-24 Dwenger victory.
Even in Ohio prep football, this rule applies.
If there was a "sure thing" anywhere in northeast Indiana on Friday, it had to have been Garrett hosting a beleaguered Bluffton squad, which got smoked at Woodlan 56-0 a week ago. The Railroaders were riding a hot streak (three consecutive victories) and had won 12 straight times on their home field. So of course the Tigers doubled up Garrett 28-14.
Bishop Luers lost its fifth straight game to remain winless (yet will probably still receive votes in the latest IHSAA poll) after being shutout by Wayne 15-0, while Churubusco barely got by Angola 14-7, and South Side, which was inches from being winless (the Archers got an overtime win against Luers, for what that is now worth), looked like world-beaters at Northrop (a 47-21 Bruin beat down).
All of this reinforces the notion that the only money that should be laid down on Fort Wayne-area prep football should be for tickets to a "never know what you'll see" event, because bettors would be losing their shirts over this stuff.

DETROIT (AP) -- The Tigers are teaming up with an iconic Detroit arts organization to create a new team souvenir.
WDET-FM reports that Pewabic Pottery is partnering with the Tigers and Major League Baseball to create officially licensed tiles featuring the team's old English "D" on them. The tiles are expected to be available for purchase in May.
Pewabic Pottery was founded in 1903. Its studio and education center on the city's east side are a National Historic Landmark.
The organization work is widely known. Comerica Park, where the Tigers play, has colorful mosaics made by Pewabic Pottery on the stadium.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
What is the meaning of this error code and what could be wrong with the software package
The Answer is :
Please contact the maintainer(s) of the software package, as it would appear that the package is returning a bogus status (exit) value to the command interpreter. An application exit with a random junk value left resident in register R0, in other words. If necessary, the programmers may wish to review the OpenVMS Programming Concepts manual and the system service reference documentation. Areas of specific interest will involve the standard condition value format, and the $exit that is either explicitly invoked within the code or that is implicitly invoked on behalf of the application upon the return statement that returns control from the application to the operating system.

Reflections on the Teaching Scholar
—By Paul Locatelli, S.J.
Derek Bok, the former president of Harvard, along with a number of other educators, recently posed a serious question to the academy: "What practices provide students with the knowledge and commitments to be socially responsible citizens?"
In May of this year, Stanley Fish, a noted literary critic and former dean of the University of Illinois, Chicago, responded to this question: "That's not a bad question, but the answers to it should not be the content of a college or university course."
Fish sharply separates the intellectual purpose of education from any moral, spiritual, or civic aims. In his ideal university, faculty should stand apart from issues that underlie the structures and practices of society—limit their politics only to academic issues—and focus on the search for truth and the teaching of knowledge, narrowly defined to one's academic speciality. Why? Because in his view, moral or civic education deforms the true task of the university.
But Fish serves a purpose in arguing that knowledge has value in and for itself, somewhat as Cardinal Newman did in his Idea of the University. Fish challenges us to reflect upon the academic calling of faculty—and by extension of the educational calling of staff—and the purpose of universities in general and of Santa Clara with its Catholic, Jesuit distinctiveness in particular.
From Ignatius to Kolvenbach
Jesuit education takes a very different approach from the one Stanley Fish suggests. From the time of Ignatius in the 16th century, learning, critical thinking, and knowledge have been valued in and for themselves, and students have been encouraged to live lives of virtue and meaning. And when they do, society benefits. Then, according to Ignatius, God is glorified.
Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, has articulated a philosophy of Jesuit education for the 21st century. In the Mission Church, on the occasion our Sesquicentennial celebration in 2000, he made it clear that the education of the whole person, the ideal of Jesuit education for 450 years, now needs to include, "an educated awareness of society and culture and a commitment to contribute socially, generously," and morally to the real world.
"If the measure and purpose of our universities lie in [who] and what students become, then the faculty are at the heart of our universities. Their mission is tirelessly to seek the truth and to form each student into a whole person of solidarity who will take responsibility for the real world."
These brief sentences have many layers of the meaning. But I will limit my comments to two questions. First, in the mission to tirelessly seek truth, how does one become a teaching scholar?
And second, does the aim of "who our students become" as whole persons of solidarity have relevance for "who our faculty become?" and "who our staff become?"
First, then, what does it mean to be seeking truth? At Santa Clara, as with all universities, the raison d'etre of our calling—whether we are faculty, students, staff, or administrators—is academic excellence, where the ability to think critically about questions and the world is paramount. But it is much more. What is this more?
It is a community in search of meaning—meaning in the sense of those human and moral truths that we can live by. Truth does not begin with answers, but with questions. The world and all of creation provide the grist for questions—great questions—that will align professional aspirations with living a life in quest of truth. This alignment is critical to our commitment to the ideal of the teaching scholar.
Santa Clara must be a place, without being bashful of being Catholic, that raises and vigorously debates questions that many secular universities purposely avoid. To be an authentic university, we must not be afraid to debate all questions within a community that has a plurality of faiths and cultures, for that is the world in which we live and for which our students will be responsible.
Catholic universities are places where that Catholic community and Church does its best and most creative thinking; hence, it is imperative that Santa Clara be a community that raises questions about faith, life, and God, seeking ways to integrate the love of learning with living a life with meaning and purpose.
The commitment to seek truth requires a habit of intellectual inquiry, a questioning curiosity, and critical thinking to analyze root causes, to follow evidence to its logical conclusion, to develop conceptual theories, and to offer paths to improve society for all, with particular attention to their human dignity and rights.
The commitment to truth does not end with questions nor a passive understanding. Rather truth demands an integrity of dialectic between thinking critically and acting ethically, between faith and developing cultures, between personal interests and emerging global realities. Truth will inspire us to contribute to the common good and no longer be indifferent to people suffering and dying of hunger, illness, war, or ethnic and religious conflict.
Let me turn to the second question. Does the aim of "who our students become" as whole persons of solidarity have relevance for "who our faculty become" and "who our staff become?" This question specifically points to the issue of vocation.
The language of vocation is not always comfortable for university faculty or staff because it is most often associated with
Bellah distinguishes between a career and a calling. A career demands a commitment to the profession. One's work and, in part, one's life are shaped by the professional guild with its expectations, particularly its definition of research areas and methodology.
A calling, by contrast, draws into focus the tension and balance of professional work with both personal and community life. A calling
One's career, in proper perspective, can enhance one's calling to serve students, the learning community, and the good of society, or a calling can be derailed if one allows the professional guild and associations to set the agenda for who one becomes.
The ideal teaching scholar cannot claim to be a great teacher and do no or little research. Nor could one claim to be a great researcher and neglect teaching.
One's academic calling is to find that balance and integration of teaching and research that makes one better at both and gives one joy. Then, one's calling will contribute to the common good of all.
The virtue of solidarity and students
Jesuit education invites us to find joy in educating students who form their own habit of thinking critically and independently as well as having the intellectual and moral courage to fashion a more humane and just world.
Our call doesn't come like a bolt from the blue or a direct command, but as a persistent invitation addressed to our freedom and
One reality check, then, that connects us with the virtue of solidarity is our personal presence to students. As psychologist Mark Epstein suggests, a faculty or staff member "may well have as great an impact through his or her presence as through his or her skills."
This presence reflects, in part, one aspect of solidarity beyond the classroom. As Fr. Kolvenbach said:
Solidarity is learned through "contact" rather than through "concepts." When the heart is touched by direct experience, the mind may be challenged to change. Personal involvement with innocent suffering, with the degradation and injustice that others suffer, is the catalyst for solidarity, which then gives rise to intellectual inquiry, reflection, and action.
Students learn best in a pedagogy of engagement. And one of the best forms of engagement is "being present" with them as teaching scholars and staff-educators who mentor, challenge, inspire, and move students to learn and become virtuous persons.
Being a teaching scholar and educator is our call—our vocation of presence to students and colleagues and the world.
Virtue of solidarity and global common good
The person of solidarity also learns from and seeks to shape culture and society. A well-educated solidarity does not stop with our students or only at the flashpoints, the most visible problems.
"Solidarity" is the virtue, the habit of the heart that binds us emotionally and practically to our world, local and global. Solidarity has the quality of combining a sense of justice with active compassion. It realizes that the quality of our lives is intrinsically linked with the quality of the lives of others, especially those who are most threatened or left out.
For the world of the new century, it is no longer enough to see our lives as a personal, individual quest. We have to understand how our lives are vitally linked to the earth and all who live on it. Solidarity enables people to devote themselves "to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all."
In education, not only are we to preserve our humanistic orientation and the quest for intellectual, ethical, and theological excellence, but also we are challenged to embrace a global viewpoint of accompaniment with every other person suffering deeply. Doing that will change the way we teach, research, serve, and live our professional and family life, and connect with our community, Church, and whatever else we do.
Then, our careers will truly become our vocation.
—Adapted from Fr. Locatelli's Sept. 14, 2004 Convocation address at SCU.

Janie Fricke Explores the 'Country Side of Bluegrass'
Janie Fricke, known for her hit duets with Johnny Duncan, including 'Stranger' and 'Thinkin' of a Rendezvous,' and solo hits 'Down to My Last Broken Heart,' 'Tell Me a Lie' and 'He's a Heartache,' is turning her tunes a little bluer these days — with 'Country Side of Bluegrass,' an album of grassed-up versions of her greatest hits. Initially approached by a Florida-based label for the project in 2004, the album remained unreleased until another company stepped in to take over.
"I've always been a fan of all types of music, including bluegrass," says the two-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year. "This is a fun project, to take that style of music and that instrumentation and use it to record my tunes. I had a great time doing it."
Among the tunes receiving the bluegrass treatment are 'You Don't Know Love,' 'She's Single Again' and 'It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy.' The singer also recorded grassy takes on country classics 'Ring of Fire' and 'Please Help Me, I'm Falling.'
Famed Nashville producer Bil VornDick worked with Janie on the disc. She says she trusted him to bring in some of the better-known bluegrass pickers, among them David Talbot on banjo, Randy Kohrs on Dobro, Andy Leftwich on fiddle, Glen Duncan and Jimmy Mattingly on mandolin and fiddle.
"He had already chosen most of the songs I had thought would work well on project," Janie explains of the producer. "We played them and I got familiar with the feel and the musical instrumentation. We talked about the songs and how they should feel for the album. It all came about through collaboration with Bil and the other people involved in it."
Among her favorite bluegrass artists, Janie says, are Alison Krauss and Union Station, Jim Lauderdale and the Father of the genre, Bill Monroe. She also enjoys the music of the Roys, with whom she has been paired to perform at recent bluegrass festivals and other venues.
"They are great," the singer says enthusiastically about the brother and sister duo. "I'm very excited to have them backing me up on these bluegrass songs. It's also a direct in for me to get to the buyers and promoters of bluegrass music. It's an interesting combination when you put the two together. The buyers are excited about it, and you can see the audience perking up their ears. It's a fresh, innovative approach, to mix the two of us together, and it seems to be working."
Janie grew up in Indiana, first listening to the folk sounds of Joan Baez and Judy Collins. Music was such a part of her life that she never considered it as a profession until she was introduced to the world of commercial jingles. Over the years the singer's voice has been heard on ads for, among others, United Airlines, Coca-Cola, 7-Up and Red Lobster. That work led to singing on albums by country artists including Loretta Lynn, Eddie Rabbitt, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Mel Tillis and others. She has also sung on albums by Charlie Rich and Elvis Presley, recording duets with them after their deaths.
Janie currently lives with her husband, Jeff — and a host of animals — on a farm outside Lancaster, Texas. In her spare time, she sews exquisite tapestry pillows to sell in Texas boutiques and on her website. 'Country Side of Bluegrass' is available now.

That Was Quick: Annika Apologizes To Wie For Being Misquoted
Ahhh…these pesky writers and their misquoting what sounded like accurate assertions about Michelle Wie's career, this time supposedly in Golf Magazine's May issue by Annika Sorenstam.
From an AP report:
"She actually reached out to me last night, said a couple of things got misquoted," Wie said Thursday after her first round in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. "I thought that was really nice of her to reach out to me. She apologized for what she said, and that's that."
Sorenstam's comments appear in a question-and-answer story in the magazine's May edition.
"I didn't read it, so I don't know what she said," Wie said when asked how Sorenstam could be misquoted in a question-and-answer format.
Wie opened the LPGA's first major with a 72 to trail leader Suzanne Pettersen and Na Yeon Choi by, reports John Strege. Full field scores are here.
**Alan Bastable, who conducted the interview, responded on Twitter.
In response to queries I've had re: my interview with Annika Sorenstam...yes, it was recorded, and, no, she was not misquoted.— Alan Bastable (@alan_bastable) April 5, 2013

Senator Alesi Hosts "Listen In" Higher Education Discussion At RIT
Senator Jim Alesi (R- Perinton), a member of the Senate Higher Education Committee, and Senator Joseph Robach (R,C,I,WF-Greece) recently invited Senator Kenneth P. LaValle, Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, to sponsor a "Listen In" discussion at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
The public forum, which was held October 24th at the Golisano Auditorium at RIT, included participation from local students, parents and faculty. The goal of the forum was to hear the public's concerns regarding crucial higher education issues such as tuition, financial aid, and campus safety.
"It is vitally important that as Senators we receive impute from students and academic professionals on issues that matter to them," said Senator Alesi. "Due to the ever changing nature of higher education, these discussions will help the Senate become more responsive to important issues facing those who wish to further their education."

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to recognize that although all foods provide some level of physiological function, the term functional foods is defined as whole foods along with fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods that have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed as part of a varied diet on a regular basis at effective levels based on significant standards of evidence. The Academy supports Food and Drug Administration-approved health claims on food labels when based on rigorous scientific substantiation. All food is essentially functional at some level as it provides energy and nutrients needed to sustain life. However, there is growing evidence that some food components, not considered nutrients in the traditional sense, may provide positive health benefits. Foods containing these food components are called functional foods. Functional food research holds many promises for improving the quality of life for consumers; however, to achieve such outcomes, scientific research must effectively establish the bioavailability and efficacy of these compounds at levels that are physiologically achievable under typical dietary patterns. This Position Paper reviews the complexities of defining functional foods; categories of foods marketed as functional; regulation of functional foods; the scientific substantiation of and advancement of functional food research; as well as a message to registered dietitians and dietetic technicians, registered, on how to remain current in their knowledge of functional food research and the translation of this information to consumers.

Flame Cake
This is by far the most unusual order I've done. This was for a wedding for a biker couple. She was very exact about what she wanted and she designed this in its entirety, so of course, I made it! It is a 10", 8", and two 6" cakes...white velvet, pina colada, red velvet and cookies and cream, respectively. All buttercream icing. Flames were freehanded and cut from fondant with a x-acto blade and hand painted. Silver dragees were placed here and there. Black fondant roses with silver leaves on the corners. Dragon topper was glass. The couple was THRILLED!

The exhibition Graphite, opening tonight at the IMA, explores the vast artistic potential of a material most often associated with more traditional approaches to drawing. Its flexibility – whether it's powder, liquid, machined, carved, or pencil – is mirrored in each artist's unique approach to the material in their work. Below are quotes from a selection of the artists in the exhibition that highlight this range in perspective:
"What I like most about graphite, in the way I use it, is its ability to transform the surface or object to which you're applying or transferring it." – Dan Shaw-Town
"And drawing, especially with graphite, is one of the few things that you can control yourself. You can do what you want. And so it was a way of making this world that is comfortable for me." – Kim Jones
"I want to be drawing these images because I love them more than any other imagery." – Dan Fischer
"Graphite is material that in both industrial usage and culture holds and neutralizes energy. When I was asked to be in the exhibition, I was really interested in this kind of alternate, inert quality of the material. So rather than thinking about it as a traditional artistic tool, I started to think about it conceptually and was taken by this idea of pulling in and holding energy—in this case, a kind of societal, psychic energy." – Geof Oppenheimer (Come hear more from Geof tomorrow at noon during a lunchtime lecture in the galleries).
"I find there's an exacting capacity to the point of the graphite pencil that, when fully attended to, reveals the inevitable limits of precision and control of the hand." – Judith Braun
"I think what I'm doing is observational drawing. I'm just not drawing the objects that people typically think of as the things an artist draws from observation." – Molly Springfield
"The conductivity of graphite has been central to developing the possibilities for the relationship between form, function, and materiality that characterizes these drawings." – Joyce Hinterding
"I think I chose drawing because I was interested in that basic human connection. I drew as a child, sure, but I consciously chose drawing as an adult artist. There was a break in there where I came to recognize drawing as its own entity." – Karl Haendel
"Every one of those drawings is the result of a different gesture or technique. They all come together because they share the same medium, same format, same paper." – Roland Flexner
"What's interesting about the technique I use with the graphite is the similarity there is to processing a photograph in the darkroom, where the light and dark values can be manipulated by the exposure time." – T.R. Ericsson
An accompanying digital catalogue will launch this January and will feature a wealth of in-depth material about their work and use of graphite, including interviews with the artists, videos of their installations, a scientific analysis of the material, and much (much) more.
Perusing the IMA's collection for a Thanksgiving appropriate work of art, I came across a number of beautiful images of family and food, both presidential and otherwise. I actually realized we have quite the collection of Lincoln-focused prints…more on that in a future post. However, I thought this work by Vito Acconci could be an interesting interpretation of the holiday:
The installation Round Trip (A Space to Fall Back On) echoes a space found within a traditional home, but quickly distorts your feeling of domestic comfort. A viewer sitting on the stool in the center is disoriented by the placement of objects and a blinding light — a woozy effect that might not be too far from our post-meal haze on Thanksgiving. Noises, such as the artist's voice and knocking, move throughout the space, competing for the visitor's attention and adding to the general sense of unbalance. Sounds a bit like the cacophony and confusion of a big family gathering, doesn't it? Acconci plunges the visitor into the experience, controlling his or her sense of space by "inserting unexpected color, sensory experiences, and laws of physics into the gallery." Now if that doesn't sum up Thanksgiving, I don't know what does. Here's wishing you a day of blissful disorientation and the cacophonous sounds of family and friends.
With the myriad of ways in which we visually record our day-to-day (Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, the list goes on), it's hard to imagine a time when spontaneous documentation of our lives wasn't possible. In 1888, the invention of the easy-to-use Kodak camera gave birth to the "snapshot", forever changing how we document and share our favorite moments, both large and small. The IMA's new exhibition Snapshot: Painters and Photographers, Bonnard to Vuillard (opening tonight!), explores the influence this camera had on the lives and work of seven painters in the Post-Impressionist era.
Ellen Lee, Wood-Pulliam Senior Curator at the IMA and co-curator of Snapshot, discusses the connections between this invention and influence on artistic practice:
In this audio clip, Todd Gustavson – Curator of the Technology Collection at the George Eastman House – discusses how these artists approached the process differently (for more like this, check out the free TAP mobile tour in the exhibition):
Share your own snapshots (digital camera, scanned film, Instagram filtered, whatever you've got!) and enter our online competition for a chance to win monthly prizes. Photos will also be projected outside the exhibition at the IMA.
This morning, in a room at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, I joined a group of museum colleagues (representing 151 institutions, from 40 countries!) and journalists for the launch of the next iteration of the Google Art Project. For those of us who worked on the project, this was our first look at the results of an all-hands-on-deck effort to prepare images and gather contextual information about the works in our respective collections. Each participating museum's logo flashed on the screen as the revved up to the big reveal. Sorry for the blurry photo, but I got a little excited at this moment!
Google has made an incredible 30,000 + high-res images available in this wave of the project. At the IMA, we selected over 200 works from our collection to feature – a number that will continue to grow as we add more to the site. For us, this opportunity came at a moment when we were beginning to re-assess the content that's available on the collection pages of our own website, coinciding perfectly with a major effort to expand this information and re-think the layout of these pages (more to come on this later!).
Art Project organizer Amit Snood revealed a number of features throughout the site demo, including search options that allow users to browse by artist's name, artwork, type of art, museum, country, collections and the time period. To highlight the cross-collection capabilities, Amit walked us through a search he did for Van Gogh's The Bedroom, which revealed not only the three versions on view at the Art Institute of Chicago, Van Gogh Museum and Musée d'Orsay, but also pulled in an artist he was previously unfamiliar with named Kyung Min Nam, who was inspired by Van Gogh's work.
Users have the capability to create their own collections by saving their favorite works into galleries, adding comments, and sharing with friends. Amit also featured the expanded street view and gigapixel options with a view of the galleries below us at the Musée d'Orsay:
Of course, as soon as the demo was over we all made a beeline to the computers in the hallway to check it out, necks craning over shoulders to scope out our neighbor's museum and our own.
I'm looking forward to delving into the site further to look at the IMA's collection in context with other works of art across the globe. Looking around the room this morning, Google's goal of developing connections and providing access seems to be off to a pretty good start. Take a look and see what you think.

SARASOTA, FLA. - After a safety brief, customers of Siesta Key Water Sports are ready for a para-sailing trip off Siesta Key Beach with Captain Mark Kanya, who is serious about safety.
"Especially in our industry, you have to take it very, very serious," said Kanya.
Siesta Key Water sports says it has been accident free for its 23 years in business but other para-sailing companies across the state have had accidents and even deaths.
State Lawmakers have been trying unsuccessfully for several years to pass laws to govern the para-sailing industry. House Bill 347 was filled in Tallahassee last week and if passed it will make it illegal to operate a para-sail during bad weather including high winds or low visibility. The bill will also require companies to carry at least $1million of liability insurance. Kanya thinks the regulations are a good idea for his industry.
"It is important for passenger safety. We are out here for the customers and if it wasn't for the customers then none of us would be in business."
Kanya tells ABC7 the para-sailing industry has self-regulated for years under the Water Sports Industry Association or WSIA.
"Really, what the laws are going to come from is what we all agree on"
He says the WSIA met last month St. Petersburg for a para-sailing operators symposium and specifically talk about safety standards. He says the WSIA are working with lawmakers, the Coast Guard and other state and federal officials involved with boating safety.
If the proposed bill is passed in 2014 Legislature it would be called the White-Miskell Act after two women who were killed para-sailing in Florida.

BRUSSELS, Oct 1, 2009 (AFP) – Belgian cycling team Silence announced they had sacked Dutch drugs cheat Thomas Dekker on Thursday.
The team run by Marc Sergeant, and which has claimed two Tour de France runner-up places in three years thanks to Austrlian Cadel Evans, also announced they will change their name to Omega Pharma as of 2010.
Dekker was brought on board to boost Evans' victory bid in July only to learn that an earlier sample, taken from him while he raced for Rabobank, had tested positive for the banned blood booster EPO (erythropoietin).
The 25-year-old Dutchman had initially become a target for doping inspectors from the International Cycling Union (UCI), and their scrutiny paid off as a second 'B' sample on Wednesday confirmed the first result.
Speaking at a press conference to announce the team's name change, and to also celebrate Evans' recent victory in the world road race championships, Sergeant said he had no choice but to sack Dekker.
"After we found out his positive result in July we put on the non active list," Sergeant told HLN.be.
"Now the second analysis proves that he has taken banned substances and we have no other choice but to end our collaboration."
Dekker tried to make some amends for what he says was a "one-time mistake", and has vowed to return to cycling.
"Thomas Dekker regrets his mistake; he will apologies and be held accountable, where possible," his lawyer Hans Van Oijen said in a press release Wednesday.
Dekker said he wants to return to cycling to prove he achieved his past results because of his talent and his teams' help.
Dekker, a two-time Dutch time trial champion and winner of the 2006 Tirreno-Adriatico (2006) and Tour de Romandie (2007) stage races, faces a two-year ban.
Silence, which is part subsidized by Belgium's national lottery, has changed the name of its main sponsor on several occasions in recent years.
It was called Davitamon from 2005 to 2006, Predictor in 2007 and Silence in 2008 and 2009. All three names are from products among those made by the pharmaceutical company Omega Pharma.

I have a w2k8 machine with 2 NICs. One for the Machine to use, and one for the VMs.
One of the VMs is windows 7, it is connected to the 2nd Nic for access the server. This all works fine. But what annoys me is if I want to transfer a file between these two machines, it's essentially has to go from the vm, to the router and back to the w2k8 machine.
So I thought I'd add a 2nd network card - a virtual one to the Windows 7 and essentially a 3rd network card to the w2k8 host.
This was success and both machines have the extra network cards they need. But if I leave them alone they both have 169.x.x.x addresses as there is no DHCP server - again fine, I can quite happyily run it as a virtua,l cross over cable for all I care. But if I set the two machines new network cards to be on the 192.168.2.x network (wk28 was 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 with 192.168.2.1 gateway) and the W7 (192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 with 192.168.2.2 gateway) they can ping tmeselves but not each other.
This to me should work - is it a routing issues with the multiple network cards?
Any hints? Basically I want the w7 machine to be able to communicate back to the host without having to go through the router (which is at 100MBPS) - it should theoretically be at 1GBPS possible 10GBPS speeds.

Yesterday was windy. Quite windy but not as windy as the coast had it. For me it was annoying as I hate the wind. Have hated it all my life. The high temperature was 24.5C or 76F. This morning is warm at 17C or 62F as it was cloudy during the night. Though we are moving towards fall, we will continue to see lots of nice weather here.
I primed the kitchen walls for the second time. The can of paint was okay as I seemed to have, luckily, skimmed the layer off in one piece. The second coat certainly kills any green undertones from the lime green paint.
While I was priming, the Spousal Unit put the baseboards back on the other areas in the suite. He also put the trim around the fireplace. I got to help him as I finished up before he did. And, I remembered to put the lid on the paint can.
The cove trim on the sides of the fireplace hardly show at all. They blend into the wall so nicely. The cove around the hearth adds a frame which we both like.
Though I need to do a bit of caulking, this fireplace is ready for the gas insert on Wednesday.
We won't talk about the one upstairs. I want to put a stone face on it and will be talking to the installers about that.
We headed out to shop after that job was done. We got more painting supplies and bark mulch for the yard. Not a lot of excitement but we were gone for a good 3 hours. One thing we did do was look for glass tiles for the back splash in the kitchen in the basement. I wanted a bit of something on the wall like we had in our last house. Finding it may be the bane of our lives though I did find a pretty mono toned one.
I did get a couple of hours of knitting in yesterday. The ribbing was done and then the gusset was set up and finished.
I can see why she did the knit 3 in the ribbing as it makes the gusset start from the cast on - a designing element. I got the gusset stitches onto waste yarn, the three stitches cast on and several rows knit before I called it an evening.
I needed to put everything away as I had my phone, iPad, and remote on top of Elliott who chose to sleep between us. Once we covered him up with the blanket, he said leave him alone, and he slept the evening away.
Today, I have to paint the kitchen ceiling. Then I will do a bit of work upstairs and start scrubbing the downstairs bathroom. It is hard to believe the basement is almost painted. I will be happy when that job is done. But the list to finish up is quite long ranging from installing a kitchen to putting in fans, to lights, to ………………… But we are nearing the end which is fabulous. Next, my sewing room.
Until tomorrow…………………………

I recently read that Sen. Orrin Hatch will not specify what he would cut in the federal budget. He said, "When the time comes (for passing a balanced budget amendment), I will name them." I thing that is cowardly. The proposed amendment will not pass in the Senate. Without any tax increases, the federal budget would have to be cut by 34 percent. Discretionary spending only takes up 13 percent. That means drastic cuts in entitlements and Defense.

How to Improve Your Eyesight Without Surgery
Article by Noel Johnston
Eye surgery is a risky option, no matter how safe they say it is. Not only is there a chance that you might lose your sight, there are the risks of dry eyes, poor night vision, scarring, or infections. Even glasses are better in my opinion.
To properly improve your vision without surgery you first need a little bit of background. People assume that eyesight gets worse with age, but that's just because they constantly use corrective lenses, which actually worsen your eyesight. The real cause of it is your eye being reshaped due to constant strain being put on it by your ocular muscles. This habitual stress is what eventually causes vision problems, as the distance between your cornea and retina is less than ideal. So the first step to vision correction is to let go of tension in those muscles.
To do this, we use a technique called palming. Sit at a table and place the palms of your hands over your closed eyes, being careful not to let your hands come in contact with your eyes. Focus on letting the muscles of the eye and face relax, and the complete blackness before you. Once you have achieved this hold it for a few moments to habituate yourself to this new feeling of relaxation.
Keeping the relaxation, now its time to get used to using them like this. Try swinging first. Move your eyes from side to side as if you were following a pendulum. Do this for a few moments while being aware of the muscles in your eyes. If you notice any tension coming back go back to palming for a minute. You can also try noticing things of a certain color on a given day. This is a bit different than physical exercises, but it helps perception.
If you keep these routines up consistently you will notice an improvement in you eyesight fairly quickly.

Teresa Urrea, a curandera (spiritual healer) was a reluctant political figure, born in Mexico in 1873 to a young Tehueco Indian servant of Tomás Urrea, a wealthy hacendado. Although illegitimate, Teresa was accepted as his daughter. At 16, she lapsed into a trance that lasted over three months. When she awoke, she reported the Virgin had visited her and told her she had special powers to heal the sick and injured. Mexican Indian tribes claimed Teresa as a living saint, using her as an inspiration for revolting against the government. Presidente Díaz exiled her for supposedly instigating rebellion but the U.S. granted her asylum. She toured the U.S. as a faith healer in the 1900's.

GE Money Bank
Cheating customers!
Complaint Rating:
My promotional purchase (fees for dental service) was to become due on June 6/11/06. On 5/14/06 I had my credit card send an electronic payment for the entire principle of the loan. I have the confirmation number of this transaction. For some unknown reason, which GE Money Bank has refused to explain, this payment was returned to my credit card. Immediately upon the notice of its return, I sent a letter to them asking for the reason for the return of the electronic payment. I have the letter from my credit card company to substantiate this rejection. I then replied with two payments within the specified time. I was overseas at the time, and although I immediately made payment, GE Money Bank did not credit the payments to my account until June 17, 2006. Of course, this made the payment APPEAR to be delinquent. Since then, I have sent at least 9 letters, including documentation, called their toll free number numerous times. Each time I called I was told to put my complaint in writing. Each written response was followed with a form letter asking me to phone their toll free number. One representative suggested that I might FAX the information. I did this TWICE and never received the courtesy of a reply. Meanwhile, the account has been referred to a collection agency and finally to an attorney. The total amount GE claims that I now owe in finance charges and late fees is $2,126.76 ALL IN INTEREST and LATE FEES. Although the federal and state consumer regulations state that the creditor must answer written complaints within a specified time, this has yet to be done.

As I was up in our transport office (some of you are probably not aware I am currently working in Dubai and Oman) but noticed some container units had turned up and were busy having electrical wiring done.
They are from another site where we have worker camps and currently these are being moved off site as the construction project is finished. Nearly 500 of these units.
Sturdy and clean due to the design but also gave the opportunity to show what you can do with sandwich panels you find in things like cold room stores at restaurants. As changing the type of panelling on the units that are foam centred in a slot wall system does give quite a nice finish.
Internally looking just as clean and fresh as well as functional. As you can see the wiring is on going and the electrician was wondering why I was poking my head round the corner taking photos.
Would have to look at changing the roof design if building these though. But the photo also lets you see what the end of the foam panels look like.
Gets back to the argument often used where people say that they are too hot to live in. Well after several month out in the desert and also spending time in portacabins for accommodation on sites we were surveying I can honestly say the containers work! We have had temperatures above 50 degrees and sandstorms and the containers stand strong and offer comfortable living.

Thank your lucky stars you live in a relatively peaceful corner of the galaxy. Astronomers have found six large planets whose off-kilter orbits suggest that they crashed through their solar systems, swallowing any smaller planets that got in their way. The findings indicate that solar system formation is often disorderly and unpredictable, and that some potential cousins of Earth may have been destroyed in the chaos.
Astronomers have long thought that the formation of a star and its solar system was straightforward. A large cloud of gas and dust begins to congeal gravitationally, starts rotating, and eventually flattens into an object called a protostellar disk. That rotation dictates the future spin of the sun and the orbit of its planets. This is essentially what happened in our own solar system. There can be irregularities, of course, such as the odd spin axis of Uranus, which for as-yet-unexplained reasons is nearly tilted on its side, and Pluto's odd orbit, which occasionally takes it inside the path of Neptune. But these oddballs are nothing compared with what astronomers are seeing with six newly discovered planets known as hot Jupiters.
Hot Jupiters resemble our largest planet in size and composition, yet they orbit much closer to their stars, sometimes well within what would be the orbit of Mercury. But the newly discovered worlds add an extra twist: all orbit in the opposite direction from all of the other objects in their solar system (a so-called retrograde orbit), and all orbit at severe angles.
The implications are twofold, a team of astronomers led by Andrew Collier Cameron of the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom reports today at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Glasgow in the U.K. First, objects at least as large as these planets, and probably larger, must have shoved them severely out of their original orbits, probably well above or below the plane of their solar system. The encounters hurtled the gas giants in toward their parent suns. Then, each star's gravity caught the errant planet and whipped it around in a highly irregular, tight, and retrograde orbit. During this period of irregularity, which may have lasted millions of years, any rocky inner world sitting in the path of the hot Jupiter and its new orbit would have been obliterated.
The finding "adds to the accumulating evidence that the pathways that bring these giant planets close to their parent stars are messy and chaotic," says planetary scientist Jonathan Fortney of the University of California, Santa Cruz. It also suggests that there's "an incredible diversity in the structure of planetary systems," he says.
These new worlds imply that there's a "dramatic and exciting process of gravitational billiards" at work, agrees astrophysicist Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in Washington, D.C. The finding lends credence to the idea that some gas giants in nascent solar systems "have to fight it out among themselves to see what orbit they will win and occupy," says Boss, a process he likens to "battles for office space on university campuses."

This 1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster is described as a restored car that comes with documentation showing it is a genuine Sports Roadster. We like the cleaner front fender and door styling of these compared to the busier '63s, even though the '63s are considerably rarer. The t-Bird market is famously soft right now, so it might be a good time to pick up one of these charismatic roadsters. Find it here on eBay in Temecula, California with a starting bid of $32,500 and no reserve.
The fiberglass tonneau cover of the Sports Roadsters was meant to recall the style of the 2-seat '55-'57 models, but just 1,427 examples were built for '62. Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels were included in the $651 package, as were special front fender emblems and a padded "passenger assist bar." The fender skirts found on other T-Birds would not clear the wire wheels so were not included. The seller says the restoration was done to a high standard, that the body panels are straight and the paint glossy.
Nothing says "Jet Age" like the interior of a '60s T-Bird, and the redone passenger cabin of this one doesn't disappoint. There is a tach and gauge package that may have been dealer-installed (the tach was a $31.75 dealer accessory for '62 T-Birds) as well as an AM/FM radio. Other features include power steering, brakes and top. The car is said to drive excellent.
Under the hood, the original 390-inch V-8 has been spruced up with some surrounding chrome pieces added during restoration, according to the seller. Going by the VIN, this car has the Z-code engine, which had a single four-barrel carb and was rated at 300 horsepower. The automatic transmission is said to shift smoothly.
With a curb weight of nearly 4,500 pounds and less-than-exceptional horsepower, Sports Roadsters may have been short on "sports" but were certainly long on style, something Elvis apparently appreciated since he owned one of the first ones built. This one looks like a nice example for the money.

Karin Slaughter, who is well known for her "Will Trent" and "Grant County" series, has a brand-new stand alone novel, Cop Town, which is out June 24, and she will be making appearances at two of OC Public Libraries' branches this July as part of her book tour.
On Saturday, July 19th at the Rancho Santa Margarita Library, and Sunday, July 20th at the Laguna Niguel Library (both 2pm), Ms. Slaughter will be appearing to talk about her new book: Cop Town. Cop Town is a tense, fast-moving thriller that covers only a few days in the summer of 1974, but Slaughter twists together themes of racism, sexism, and homophobia into an exciting and thoroughly readable package. The novel believably evokes the seventies, but the motivations and actions of the characters ring true today.
It's hard enough to be a woman in the man's world of the Atlanta Police Department; Maggie comes from a cop family and knows the drill. When she gets saddled with the beautiful Kate on her first day, things get dicey as a serial killer stalks police officers. The different worlds of Atlanta collide - men, women, black, white, rich, and poor. With shifting points of view and a range of well-defined characters, Slaughter delivers a stand-alone novel that will appeal to any fan of police procedurals, serial killer thrillers, and psychological thrillers.
Whether you read it ahead or get your copy at the event, join us at one of the two special events; here's your chance to meet Karin Slaughter and learn more about her writing.

Roy Williams had seen enough. The North Carolina coach was fed up with his team's lackadaisical play to start the second half against No. 2 Duke on Tuesday night, a dreadful run of six turnovers in as many possessions that helped the Blue Devils build a 17-point lead. He pulled the Tar Heels' starters in favor of the so-called "Blue Team" of five reserves that included a freshman who had played just 4 minutes in the past month. And as Williams chastised the starters on the bench, the message was clear: play hard or don't play at all. (Charlotte Observer)

Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT and Ludden Black Labrador Guide DogPedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985)

MTV Games and Harmonix looking to open the flood gates by letting artists and record labels sell music
posted: 7/17/2009 1:00:00 PM
More On:
Rock Band
Rock Band 2
Ever wish that one song was available to play on
Rock Band
but hate waiting on Harmonix to do it? Well those days might soon be numbered as Harmonix and MTV Games announced the ability to let musicians and record labels author their own gameplay files and sell their music in the new Music Store.
What this means is artists can just submit their recordings themselves where a group will playtest and review the submissions. Once approved they will be come available as Rock Band songs to play with. That's pretty wicked and might open up a ton of new songs from various genres to appear on the game.
If you want to be a submitter, you'll need access to Microsoft's XNA Creators Club which is $50 for four months of $100 yearly. With that requirement, that means this feature will only be initially available for the Xbox 360. The songs will stay exclusive to the 360 for 30 days and then maybe they will appear on other platforms.
Sounds pretty exciting and I can't wait to see this in action. You can
see the beta in action here
MTV Games and Harmonix Empower Artists and Labels to Get Their Music in the Game with the Rock Band Network
The Rock Band Network Gives Artists and Record Labels Tools to Author, Promote and Sell Music for Download via the Rock Band Platform
CAMBRIDGE, MA and NEW YORK, NY – July 17, 2009 – Harmonix Music Systems and MTV Games, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), today announced the Rock Band Network, a ground-breaking initiative that gives musicians and record labels the ability to author their own original recordings into gameplay files and sell their music as playable Rock Band tracks through the newly-created Rock Band Network Music Store. The introduction of the Rock Band Network marks a fundamental shift in the exposure music games can give emerging and established artists through innovative technologies that will open new revenue streams and promotional avenues.
"Our goal with Rock Band has always been to go beyond making music games and create a true music platform," said Alex Rigopulos, CEO and co-founder of Harmonix. "With the Rock Band Network, we've evolved the platform to its next logical step, giving players access to an incredible amount of new music by putting the professional tools we use in the hands of the artists themselves."
"The Rock Band Network enables songwriters and musicians – at any stage of their careers – to create their own paths through the interactive music realm," said Paul DeGooyer, Senior Vice President, Electronic Games and Music, MTV Networks Music Group. "Our download store has been an extraordinary success, and it's exciting for us to provide access to our platform through this uniquely elegant solution."
The Rock Band Network will launch as an open beta in late August 2009 in the U.S. and provide a sophisticated toolset, with detailed documentation on how bands can begin the process of authoring songs into Rock Band gameplay files. Authors will be able to submit tracks for playtesting and peer review via a specialized Web site, Creators.RockBand.com. Potential publishers will need a membership to Microsoft's XNA Creators Club Online in order to test and publish game content. The service will only be available to those who purchase a premium membership to Microsoft's XNA Creators Club Online, which can be purchased for four months at $49.99 or for a year at $99.99.
"The proven strength and stability of Microsoft's game development tools, technologies and services allowed Harmonix to focus on making an easy-to-use experience for authors without needing to reinvent the wheel," said Dave Mitchell, product unit manager, XNA publishing platform. "Rock Band Network is a model example of integration with XNA Creators Club Online."
Once tracks are approved, they will be transferred to the Rock Band Network Store, an in-game music marketplace where millions of Rock Band fans will be able to demo samples of the songs for free before they purchase. Songs will debut exclusively on Xbox 360 for 30 days. Artists featured in the store will be able to choose from multiple pricing tiers for individual tracks and will be compensated via a simple payment system that provides automated accounting and regular royalty payments.
Tracks for the Rock Band Network will be made available later in the fall on the Xbox 360® video game entertainment system from Microsoft. Stand out tracks will follow on the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ console. Joining the more than 750 tracks available to date, the Rock Band Network Store will greatly increase the amount of music available through the Rock Band music platform and further confirm MTV Games and Harmonix's position as the leading provider of downloadable content for music-based video games.

It was COMPLETELY unexpected. The vet said that the most likely reason was a heart attack and that it was quick and Onyx didn't suffer. She found Onyx "sleeping" on the couch. She's having a very hard time tonight, so if everyone could just say an extra prayer for her, I'd appreciate it. Kimya
