The NCAA Frozen Four is officially underway with Union College and Ferris State facing off in Tampa, Florida for the first of two Frozen Four matchups.
If you are familiar with the Frozen Four, then it's safe to say that you are probably unfamiliar with both Union College and Ferris State, as neither team has ever made it this far into the NCAA Tournament.
Both squads have never produced an NHL-drafted player, but that isn't stopping either team from playing incredible hockey down the final stretch of the season.
With the two "unknown" teams facing off in Thursday's afternoon matchup, this evening's matchup is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Thursday night's heavyweight battle between Boston College and the University of Minnesota showcases two of college hockey's greatest dynasties.
The BC Eagles and the Minnesota Golden Gophers have never faced each other in a National Championship game before. However both teams have appeared in a combined 43 Frozen Fours, with nine total National Championships, BC with 4 and Minnesota with 5.
Check out the picture below brought to you by College Hockey Inc. to see each of the four teams post-season hockey history, as well as a few random statistics of their current squads.

Generic vs Huge kernel in Slack 12
I'm curious if anyone get's a real performance boost from the generic kernel over the huge kernel in Slackware 12? I know loading only the needed modules saves memory, but does it really matter in this case?
And what happened to the custom kernels like bare.i, sata.i, and scsi.s? Why were they removed in 12?
I don't think anybody would get a huge performance boost using generic instead of huge. It's not done for performance reasons, but mainly to keep things clean and in order. Also, you can experience some problems with udev when using huge. Nothing major, but still annoying.
I did a little test a few years ago on a debian box. I was having some trouble figuring out which module was correct for my network card. This was back when it wasn't always easy to get debian configured. I got a little angry and threw a geek tantrum. I recompiled my kernel, and enabled every damn thing I could. And I mean everything. This was on a modest box. 900Mhz cpu, 512mb of ram. Didn't notice a bit of difference. They both ran the same. I think back in the day it really mattered, but with modern hardware, I doubt you'd even notice the difference for the average desktop. I didn't anyway. But I use kde too, so obviously I don't need fine tuned performance. The average desktop has the memory and cpu cycles to spare....
Just my opinion. Good luck....
I don't know about the huge vs. generic. But huge vs. self compiled thin kernel, the thin kernel kicks huge's butt big time.
If you compile a new one for your architecture, then it will definitely be faster. The difference between huge and generic is much smaller, usually not noticeable or perhaps even existent. But, you'll have fewer issues with the generic kernel.

2 Gitmo Algerians lose in Supreme Court
The Obama administration scored a couple of legal wins at the Supreme Court on Friday night when the justices decided not to step in to prevent the U.S. government from returning two Algerian-born prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay to their home country.
The men, Farhi Mohammed and Abdul Naji, complained that they faced possible torture or death in Algeria, either at the hands of the government or other parties. However, the Obama administration said it had adequate assurances from the Algerian government that no torture would take place.
Earlier this month, Mohammed won a preliminary injunction against his return from U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler. The decision was quickly overturned by a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit. However, one appeals judge, David Tatel, said he would have given greater scrutiny to Mohammed's claim that he could be subject to harassment or injury by nongovernmental actors in Algeria.
Mohammed asked the Supreme Court to stay his return to Algeria while he asked the justices to hear his case, but in an order Friday evening the court refused to do so by a 5-3 vote. The six justices who declined the stay did not explain their rationale. However, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing on behalf of Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, said the stay should have been granted to resolve "important questions" raised by the case. Ginsburg appeared to be alluding to the issue Tatel raised about threats posed by private parties, though on can't be sure.
The evolution of Naji's case is somewhat less clear because of pervasive secrecy in the legal proceedings, but it appears that Judge Reggie Walton refused to block Naji's release to Algeria and his lawyers went to the D.C. Circuit and then the Supreme Court seeking a stay, which the all the justices denied Friday night.
"It's tragic, the human dimensions here," an attorney for Naji, David Remes, said early Saturday. "The court wouldn't even pause long enough to consider the claims of these men who face torture or death if they return to Algeria. Our only recourse now is diplomatic and political and that's by no means a sure thing. ... We have reason to believe that the military will transfer these men as soon as Sunday or Monday. The Supreme Court has left them to the awful fate that awaits them."
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.
UPDATE: This post initially misstated the vote on Mohammed's application. It was 5-3. Justice John Paul Stevens has resigned and his seat is vacant at the moment.

In a super transparent attempt to bolster public support for their name in the face of public opinion (at least in the rest of the nation) that is turning against them, the Washington Redskins offered to write a blank check for a skatepark the Fort Yuma Quechan (Kwatsan) Tribe had been planning. They even brought a "skatepark designer" with them to present a design that was festooned in red and gold. Tribal officials had little trouble sussing out the ulterior motives, and quickly turned them down. You can read the press release from Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry. I have to wonder which destible "skatepark designer" went along with this embarrassing scheme. Definitely not a "credit to his race." Was it a real design/build firm? Come on S&A community, let's uncover this.
In the meantime, enjoy this gratuitous link to Wounded Knee Skateboards.
[Source: Kissing Suzy Kobler – Native News Online] – Thanks to Adam Shahan for the tip.
Please note Native Skateparks is in no way affiliated with the Washington Redskins. Native Skateparks designed the park for the Fort Yuma Quechan Tribe prior to the Washington Redskins contacting the tribe. We do not agree or support the Washington Redskins attempt to bolster public support for their name.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Yes Native Skateparks had been working with Q uechan skate park committee for a year in advance of the sneaky move made by the Washington team foundation.
it was unfortunate that my companies logo was connected in all of the media reports that went out.
we completely hate the slur term mascot name and have done much to dissuade its use.
I Have published letters to the editor in news papers to that effect.

Mysql install problem w/ 13.37.0
I'm fairly new to Slackware and am trying to install/setup the default MySQL version 5.1.56.
I've created a database, but when I try to start mysql it stalls until I do a carrage return.
When I try to set a password I get
locate mysql.sock
I have found many other posts on this but none seem to deal w/ 13.37. The changelog for this release says that they changed some of the mysql directories, so fixes for other versions haven't worked.
There's trick in Slackware: the permissions are initially set wrong in the default mysql installation.
Check to be sure the steps in this brief guide have been followed: http://technotalk.tumblr.com/post/79...13-1-and-mysql And then you should be able to proceed with the normal mysql setup as root.
you can also read /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld for instructions ;)
I do have a rc.mysqld however but I'm pretty sure it's not the same thing.

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Hello there and welcome to Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be assisting you today. I am an engineer with over 30 years of electrical and electronic training, repair and installation experience. I will try and answer your question accurately and precisely so that we can get you on your way.
The pump motor should have a nameplate that shows the correct connections. Do you see that?
yes it tells me to connect the two smaller wires together as one line and the the other as "P" line... does that make sense?
Ok, is there only one connection option i.e. you do not see a 'High' and a 'Low' connection on the nameplate?
And I assume that you have two wires and a ground in your box?
yes a black and red and then the ground, the white wire is capped in the box. This is what is confusing about it. There is no high or low on the plate that I see.
Ok, I want to be sure here. Do you have the model of the motor/pump?
Is it for example, an LP1502 series?
Please let me know so that we can continue.
Okay, it says LP series 110060
Ok, I have this: http://screencast.com/t/hRbGrUAYI8
Does that look familiar?
yes but there is no yellow wire and I do not understand the numbers.
line 2 is the two smaller white wires one of them having the black stripe right, and line 1 being the larger white wire...
but which goes to black and red in the box?
Well, assuming that the two white wires are tied together, that would tie to one of you conductors and the thicker one to the other. Then check rotation and if it is incorrect, reverse the two connections.
That should work. You can't fry the motor.
I'll be here if you need further help with this issue. Please let me know.
Thank you much for your help.

By John DiSanto, of www.phillyboxinghistory.com – This past winter, junior middleweight Gabriel Rosado seemed to turn a corner in his career development. All of a sudden, he was a killer in the ring and looked like sure bet to become a champion. The new plateau came in his head-turning knockout performance against battle-tough Jesus Soto Karass on Jan. 21 at the Asylum Arena in South Philadelphia. Rosado became the first man to halt the durable Mexican, and he did it before a cheering hometown crowd at ringside and a national television audience watching at home on the NBC Sports Network.
The Gabriel Rosado who bullied and disposed of Soto Karass in just five rounds that night was clearly a new version of the popular Philly fighter. Rosado had shown glimpses of real promise over the prior six years of his professional boxing career, but nothing like this. He was suddenly a bona fide contender.
"He had a habit (before) of pausing and posing for long periods of time," said Billy Briscoe, Rosado's trainer from day one. "Now he got away from that. He found his ring identity."
That identity is a dangerous pressuring force to be reckoned with. Against Soto Karass, there was certainly no pausing or posing. Rosado (right) used his size, strength, power, and constant pressure to steamroll Karass and register the best win of his then 19-5 career.
Rosado followed the victory with an even tougher assignment on June 1, back on NBC, against slick and seasoned southpaw Sechew Powell. Rosado's ninth round KO of Powell before a wild Bethlehem, PA crowd was even more impressive than his prior fight, and proved that the "new" Rosado was no fluke.
"Tough guy," Briscoe said of Powell. "Big. Southpaw. Experienced. Extensive amateur background. Only lost to top opposition. What he did was broke him down slowly. Gaby picked his spots. Showed him different looks until we found the opening he needed. Then he closed the distance, got in the pocket, and BANG!"
It was another emphatic win. Rosado was careful and smart in his approach, but he never took his eye off his ultimate goals – to score a knockout and make a statement to the boxing world.
"That fight," Rosado said. "I told Billy, 'We definitely have to knock this guy out'. And you know, we did it little by little. Once we started landing those body shots and we started getting those hooks in, he slowed down. Once we put on the pressure, it was a wrap."
But this measurable improvement was a long time coming for Rosado. With only a brief amateur career as a base, Rosado was forced to learn on the job in the professional ranks. Some frustrating losses came his way. However, Billy Briscoe nurtured his fighter's obvious skills and patiently worked on smoothing out his rough spots.
"Experience," Briscoe said. "All the tough fights he's been in. He finally realized that when he starts walking these guys down, they start acting different. When he boxes, he lets you live, but when he's coming forward, he's murder."
"Now when I look at every fight, my game plan is backing the guy up," Rosado added. "I'm not thinking about being on my toes or anything like that. I can beat these guys on the inside. And in boxing right now, guys don't even understand the inside game. And I think that's the advantage we have."
Clearly it is something that is working for Rosado.
"He's starting to come into his own now," Briscoe said. "He's starting to find himself."
"It's something that we practiced so long, and I finally got it," said the fighter. "It takes a while. Now that we got it down pat, I feel like we'll beat any guy."
Embracing this new philosophy was one thing, but having the physicality to pull it off – in the rigorous jungle that is the boxing ring – was something else. To get to the next level, Team Rosado needed some help.
Boxing people, especially trainers, are generally a suspicious and even paranoid bunch. I guess you can't really blame them. Trainers are gurus of a lost art and speak in terms that few beside their own kind can understand. Most of them, the good ones at least, usually believe in the old rules of boxing, including ancient secrets and beliefs that have long since been dismissed by most modern thinkers.
Billy Briscoe is one of those old-school guys. He was trained to be a trainer by one of Philly's legends, the late, great Wesley Mouzon. Mouzon was a wunderkind teenage lightweight boxer in the 1940s, and a revered boxing teacher until his death in 2003.
"Every day I think about Mr. Wes," Briscoe said. "If it wasn't for Wes, I'd probably be dead or in jail somewhere… and that's the truth. He took me under his wing."
Briscoe believes in the old ways that Mouzon preached. He quotes the long forgotten phrases and conventions of the sport and believes in their relevance today, no matter how dusty they may sound. It's one of the many contradictions that strike you about Briscoe. He's still under 40 years of age, but talks like he's been transported right from the golden era. He's probably the oldest young man I've ever met.
But Billy Briscoe can surprise you. His methods are not solely based on the old school. He is open to the modern approach, as long as it makes sense and doesn't work against any of his well-learned golden rules from the Mouzon school.
To round out Rosado's skill set and to provide him with the physical tools necessary to implement the style that would make him a contender, Team Rosado brought a new member into the circle.
Enter strength and conditioning coach Jason Sargus of Philadelphia's Brazen Boxing & MMA. Sargus is a former college wrestler who runs the Center City gym where Rosado and Briscoe have been doing their strength training since late last year. Sargus is from the new school when it comes to training ring warriors. Although his typical client is usually of the MMA breed, Sargus believes his methods make better fighters, period.
"I knew we could make Gaby stronger, longer," Sargus said. "A lot of boxing trainers are a little hesitant to add some of the weight training exercises we've added. Billy is an old school boxing mind who embraces some new school and some cutting edge possibilities and philosophies. To embrace a guy coming from a wrestling background – to embrace that philosophy and to be open minded and give me a chance to work with Gabriel, I have to give a lot of credit to Billy Briscoe."
But Billy didn't just take these new philosophies at face value and run with them.
"We discussed some things – the "hows" and "whys" of the protocols I intended to implement," Sargus said. "He listened and he asked about the science. I think he did some fact checking, and when everything came back okay, we agreed on how we were going to train Gabriel. And the results have been what you've seen in the last two fights against Soto Karass and Powell."
"It's added a lot to our game," Rosado said. "I'm much stronger. When I get in that ring, I feel stronger than those guys. I feel like I can back them up, put on pressure, and finally do what Billy's been trying to get me to do the whole time – impose my strength on these guys."
"We can have him fight at a pretty amazing pace by adding and supplementing (traditional boxing training) with the strength and conditioning we do here," Sargus said.
The results speak for themselves. Rosado has been able to execute like never before.
"He can put his foot on the gas anytime he chooses," Sargus said. He can come forward when he wants to. He can pressure the fighter when he wants to, especially when his opponent is looking to take 15-20 seconds off to regroup and refocus. He can put them out of that comfort zone."
And that seems to be exactly what Rosado has been doing. He has been relentless in his last two fights, and it has made all the difference in the world. Watching Rosado being so consistent and seeing him doing things that produce knockouts, has been exciting. Although he was popular before, Rosado is quickly becoming the fighter everyone is talking about in Philadelphia. However the Rosado conversation may just getting started.
On Sept. 21, Rosado (20-5, 12 K0s) takes on Charles Whittaker (38-12-12, 23 K0s) in a 12-round eliminator for the IBF 154-pound title. The fight is back at the Sands Resort Casino in Bethlehem, and once again on NBC Sports Network's Fight Night TV series. If the #3 ranked Rosado can beat the #2 ranked Whittaker, he becomes the mandatory #1 rated contender to IBF champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage.
"One fight away, man," Rosado said. "It feels good. It's definitely driving me to do good."
"We're getting close," Briscoe said. "All the hard work is starting to pay off. We're starting to get in the spot we need to be in to win the world title."
"This fight with Whittaker, I'm not going to take him lightly," Rosado said. "I want to blow him out. I want to make another statement."
At 38 years old and with 52 fights to his credit, Whittaker (right) brings experience far deeper than Rosado's into the ring. It is certain that he too sees the fight as an important opportunity.
"He's basically in a situation where he has to win because of his age," Rosado said of Whittaker. "He can't afford to lose; he's going to bring his "A" game. So I can't sleep on him. Anything can happen in boxing."
Rosado is familiar with bumps in the road. The early part of his career was marked by inconsistency. Excellent victories against Kasim Ouma, Saul Roman, James Moore and Latif Mundy, were muted by stumbles against Alfredo Angulo, Fernando Guerrero and Derek Ennis.
Ennis was the last man to beat Rosado, in a close 12-round decision for the USBA title more than two years ago. The setback was heartbreaking for Gabriel, who thought that regional title shot was his gateway to the next level, and a do or die opportunity for him.
"I was younger, a little immature," Rosado said of that period of his career. "Now I've been through the hard times. I'm older, more mature, and I know what it takes."
Rosado has won six straight bouts since losing to Ennis, and perhaps more importantly, has learned that things happen in their own time.
"I think if I had won against Ennis, I think it wouldn't have been my time," Rosado said. "I think now is the perfect time. Me and Billy are on the same page, and now we have Jason Sargus of Brazen Boxing involved. We have the whole package together. So now we're good."
Having the whole package has led Rosado to a world title elimination fight. That means he's one victory away from a guaranteed title shot, and everything he and Briscoe have been working for since day one.
"A fight away from the world title," Briscoe said thoughtfully. "I been paying my dues since I was 15 years old. I carried buckets. I learned my craft."
And what would old Wesley Mouzon tell Briscoe now, as he guides Rosado closer and closer toward the top?
"He'd tell me what he told me before he passed away, may God rest his soul," Briscoe remembered. "He'd say, 'Billy you're ready, you just need that guy who will get you there'. Mr. Wes. He was the man. He forgot more about boxing than most people know. He used to tell me, 'You need that horse, that horse you can ride'."
Rosado is that horse, a junior middleweight thoroughbred. And he is just one fight away.

There are a lot of challenges that come with moving abroad – work, school and housing come first of course, but after all the everyday stuff is taken care off, we all come to realize that we need to find support personnel: that is, people we can trust to help us take care of our home, our family, ourselves. I do not have a house cleaner nor a babysitter, but finding a good hairdresser in this land of brassy dye jobs and cropped mullets is definitely much more important to me.
And now that I have found one, comes the next challenge: find a good place for mani-pedis, maybe eyebrows, possibly a facial. I am not very trusting when it comes to this stuff – since moving to Switzerland I have had the worst haircuts of my entire life (also the most expensive bad haircuts of my entire life, I should mention) and I am not eager to let someone pull the equivalent of that on my face, thank you very much.
Add to that the challenge of explaining what you want in German, or trying to relax during your manicure/pedicure while conjugating verbs in your head and trying to figure out every der/die/das. NOPE.
So imagine my excitement at finding Pure Beauty Spa, staffed by lovely, friendly, English-speaking ladies, and conveniently located near the center of Zurich, but – and gauche as it may be, it should be mentioned, because everything is three times as expensive here – with a price list that won't make you age prematurely at the first glance.
Pure Beauty is owned by sisters Alex and Georgina, who were kind enough to show me around and answer a few questions for us:
What is your background, and how did Pure Beauty Spa come about?
I (Georgina) originally studied business, then retrained as a therapist when we opened our salon in Greece in our hometown nearly 15 years ago. My sister Alex started training in beauty therapy since she left school; it was her dream to open her own place, so I helped her realize that dream and Pure Beauty Spa was born. We have come a long way since then!
What's most important to you when it comes to your clients?
We try and provide the highest quality of service and comfort, and we pride ourselves on individually tailoring each treatment to our clients' needs…from an eyebrow shape to a facial.
What if your most popular service, and what's your personal favorite?
Elemis Facials…Relax for an hour with amazing results!
We are also loving our new treatment: Novalash Eyelash extensions…for a real pick me up!
What about products? Say you are leaving on a weekend trip and can only bring a few necessities: what beauty essentials would definitely make it into your weekender?
We love Pro Collagen Marine Cream, its a lightweight, anti-ageing, a super hydrating wonder! And the Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm, a facial in a pot!
Can you share a few everyday beauty tips with us?
Don't over-pluck your eyebrows.. .it can be very ageing!
The climate here in Zurich is very dry (along with the cold, and indoor heating) so using the right cleanser and moisturizers can make all the difference to fine lines, wrinkles and dehydration.
Thank you Georgina and Alex!

The African Art Centre on Florida Road is showcasing an exhibition by Sibusiso Duma titled Tales from the Past and the Present, which will end on Sunday.
The paintings on display reflect the artist's recent experience of marriage, his new responsibilities and the challenges he faces as a provider for his family.
In an interview with Tonight, Duma explained what his exhibition represents: "It's about the present and the past.
"It's a collection of all my memories, the things that happened in the past, the good and the bad. It's also about things I have to do and face in the future."
From an early age, Duma recalls, he spent most of his time drawing houses and cars on the walls of his home.
His brother recognised his talent and motivated him to get pursue a career in art. For Duma, his art is a "calling"'.
He explained: "I have to do it every day, it's my true passion."
His preferred medium is oils and he said of those people who have inspired him as an artist, the late Trevor Makhoba taught him a lot: "Every day after school, I would work beside my mentor in his small studio in Umlazi."
Asked about his biggest challenge, Duma said making a living as an artist can be tough at times: "I'm working every day and spending all my time creating ideas.
"It's difficult in terms of living, to support my family. It's also difficult to sell my paintings, sometimes it seems like I am wasting my time.
"Also, in terms of pricing my work I find it extremely challenging. I don't get the amount I want for each painting.
"That's a big problem in Durban. They have a problem about pricing the works.
"They say I ask too much and need to trim the price.
"It's not like Joburg and Cape Town. It's only in Durban and I don't understand it. From 2004 I'm using the same price."
Duma's first solo exhibition was held at the African Art Centre in 2007 and his work can also be viewed at galleries in Joburg and Cape Town.
• The exhibition ends on Sunday at the African Art Centre, 94 Florida Road, Morningside. For more info, call Sharon Crampton at 031 312 3805.

Forest Labs Picks Board Member As New CEO; Shares Rise
The struggle by Forest Laboratories (FRX) to deal with the loss of market exclusivity for major drugs, including its antidepressant Lexapro, now rests on the shoulders of a former Bausch & Lomb chief executive.
On Tuesday morning, Forest named Brenton L. Saunders, 43, as its new CEO, effective Oct. 1. He will replace retiring head Howard Solomon. The news sent the drug maker's stock price rising 1.6% to $44.10.
Forest Labs in May had said Solomon would retire at the end of the year after a controversial five-decade career with the drug company. He turned 86 in August.
Saunders was a Schering-Plough executive before he took the wheel at Bausch in 2010 and piloted the company pressured by manufacturing problems, accounting missteps and a lackluster pipeline to an all-cash sale agreement earlier this year with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (VRX).
Saunders is no stranger to Forest. He has served as a board member since August 2011 and currently chairs the board's compensation committee. His appointment did not sit well with everyone. In a note published today, BMO Capital Markets analyst David Maris said 91% of institutional investors responding to a recent survey felt Forest should hire an outsider. Maris rates Forest at Underperform. He wrote:
We think this is a sign of two things: 1) FRX is not for sale and 2) investors should not expect anything new out of FRX by way of strategy or direction. While some would hope that a new CEO would bring on a new direction, remember that Saunders has been a member of the board for some time and other board members include the outgoing CEO, the previous president, and the former head of R&D. Some investors have noted that SG&A costs at Bausch & Lomb might not be what the doctor ordered for FRX, and think that this, combined with the upcoming Namenda patent expiry, means that a clear the decks reset EPS prospects is likely to happen yet again at Forest.

DIRECTOR: Athol Fugard
CAST: Erica Wessels, Ivan Abrahams, Rian Visman, Richard September, Ephraim Gordon, Kim Pietersen
VENUE: the Studio at The Fugard Theatre
UNTIL: February 23
ATHOL Fugard's latest play is both a poignant reminder of a dying culture and a rather pedantic lecture about those very same people.
Co-written in Afrikaans by Riana Steyn – whose research into Karretjie children forms the basis of the play –and Fugard, Die Laaste Karretjiegraf is also a loving homage to the Karoo.
Fugard promised his mother, who hailed from Middelburg, that he would one day write a play in her mother tongue and he grew up on her stories about the people of the Karoo.
It is not only Saul Radomsky's dusty set with wire fence and stones or James Webb's soundscape of singing cicadas and distant passing cars that is evocative of the blazing sun and big wide space. The use of Afrikaans as it is spoken in the Groot Karoo, as well as the way the characters mediate their self-identity in terms of their surroundings, also help to create a sense of that space.
Coming back to the pedantic lecture, though. The play centres on the story of Ouma Mieta's grandchildren and how they react and adapt to her death.
It starts with the children burying their grandmother in the traditional Karretjie way, with the eldest, Pienkies (Visman), addressing the audience as he tells us about his grandmother losing the will to live as old age overtook her.
Their father Koot (Abrahams) – newly out of prison – catches up to them as Pienkies makes the tough decision to sell his father's pride and joy, the donkey cart which has sheltered them for several years.
The interaction between the two at this point is emotionally engaging, harsh and hard-hitting, but the introduction of Sarah (Wessels) takes us a step backwards.
Sarah got to know the family while doing research for a Master's degree in anthropology and she lectures the audience about the Kareretjiemense – direct descendants of the Khoi people who, over the years and generations, adapted to a nomadic lifestyle as sheepshearers travelling around the Karoo on donkey carts.
Once she's done delivering her lecture (in the most pedantically academic way despite the plethora of interesting facts rolling off her tongue in the most beautiful Stellenbosch Afrikaans) she steps back into the play. The rest of the play consists of her interaction with Koot at the graveside, interspersed with flashbacks involving her observation of the children.
The children are played by grown-ups in an overblown kind of way and the use of a mentally disabled child to demonstrate the disassociation of cause and effect is clumsy and unnecessary.
Sarah takes issue with Koot's seeming indifference to consequence in hooking up with yet another woman when his alcoholic ways have led to such a tragic outcome. And at this point Koot embarks on a rambling description of how he views himself within the context of his environment.
He tries to situate his very being within the greater space, and this brings us back to the poignancy of a disappearing culture which places great stock in the concept of a person being part of his or her greater environment.
But the play leaves us with an unfinished thought because while Sarah explains her anger, Koot remains the submissive who tries to appease the nooi's emotional state, and nothing more.

Sen. George LeMieux's mastery of an obscure legislative maneuver suggests he is a quick study. It's too bad he appears to be using it for personal and partisan political gain.
A Sunday St. Petersburg Times story detailed the latest example of LeMieux's use of a Senate "hold." LeMieux is the one senator standing in the way of a floor vote on President Barack Obama's nominee for ambassador to Brazil, the United States' best ally in Latin America and an important business partner. The move has drawn the ire of the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee and threatens a $7.5 billion bid to build military planes by Seattle-based Boeing Co.
LeMieux's hold has nothing to do with Brazil. It appears to be about scoring political points with a vocal Republican constituency upset about the Obama administration's relaxing of relations with Cuba and the role the president's nominee played in that. It's the second time LeMieux has used a hold to affect anti-Castro interests. He earlier blocked funding cuts to the ineffective Radio Marti.
LeMieux — who opened a political action committee last week that suggests a future run for office — isn't just currying favor with a group that gives generously to political campaigns. His moves help his political benefactor and former boss, Gov. Charlie Crist. The governor faces a Cuban-American, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio, in the 2010 Republican primary for the Senate seat LeMieux is keeping warm.
Obama's nominee for ambassador to Brazil, Thomas A. Shannon Jr., is a longtime diplomat who became assistant secretary of state for Western Hemispheric affairs under President George W. Bush. It was in that job this summer that Shannon helped broker the Organization of American States' decision to drop its 47-year-old ban on Cuba membership. But Shannon also helped ensure that before admission new members would have to practice OAS's democratic ideals of multiparty democratic government, human rights and freedom of the press. No one expects Cuba to pass that test anytime soon.
But LeMieux isn't big on nuance. He prefers the blunt instrument of partisan politics to the finesse of bipartisan compromise. He intended to vote against taking up health care reform in the Senate. And earlier he claimed an independent federal panel's new mammogram guidelines were the Democratic-led government's first attempt to force "rationing" — ignoring that the guidelines were based on new research reviewed by a panel of doctors and scientists who were all appointed when Bush was president.
LeMieux was given a rare opportunity. Without having to pander to special interests or raise a single campaign dollar, he entered the Senate when Crist appointed him to fill the vacancy left by Mel Martinez, who resigned. And he won't be staying long. Yet rather than use this freedom to make hard decisions, he appears more interested in laying the groundwork for a future political campaign. Florida voters should remember that when he needs their support — and not just support from his old boss — to win his next job.

November 01 2011
In O'Casey Patterson v Chan(1) the Federal Court held that an adoption granted with the consent of one biological parent without the consent of the other, although the second parent was living, was nonetheless valid.
The appellant married the first respondent in Las Vegas in 1998. Shortly thereafter, the first respondent gave birth to the appellant's son (J) in Kuala Lumpur. Unbeknown to the appellant, when the first respondent met him she was already married to a Malaysian known as JK. The appellant later came to know that J's birth certificate stated the father as BVK (with whom the first respondent had had a previous relationship). The DNA profiling test confirmed that the appellant was the biological father of J.
The appellant applied to the National Registration Department to rectify the father's name on J's birth certificate. The appellant thereby discovered that his wife's sister had adopted J under the Registration of Adoption Act 1952. His wife's sister was a Muslim and had converted J to Islam. The appellant therefore sought declaration that:
The High Court allowed the declaration that the appellant is the natural father of J and that the birth certificate of J be rectified to reflect this. The other requests were dismissed. Upon appeal to the Court of Appeal, the High Court's order in allowing the birth certificate of J to be rectified was reversed. The appellant appealed to the Federal Court.
The questions posed for the determination of the Federal Court were:
The Federal Court held that the consent of the appellant father was not relevant for the purposes of registration for adoption, as at the time the application was made the appellant was not known or confirmed to be the father of J.
The court further found that the wording 'the parents or one of the parents' that appears in Section 6(1) of the act is clear, indicating that any one parent, without the need to prove that the other is either dead or cannot be found, may give unilateral consent to the adoption.
The court held that the legal rights of the biological father remain notwithstanding the adoption of the child, since adoption conferred only the right of custody, care, maintenance and education on the adoptive parents. However, the question of what rights are left to the biological parent was never answered. When confronted with the argument that this must mean that the right to determine the religion of the child rests with the biological father, the court sidestepped the issue by saying that it was not reflected in the questions posed to the court, under which leave to appeal was granted.
The appeal was dismissed with costs with the consolation that the biological father was restored to the birth register as the lawful father.
The case is important for three reasons:

Midnight in Paris
Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris is a perfectly charming little film with a cleverly incorporated time-traveling conceit. The only problem the film has is that it has been grossly and and ubiquitously over-rated in the press, often referred to as Allen's best film in over ten years. See here, here, here, and here. If you're a Woody Allen fan you should for sure see this film, but let me recalibrate your expectations a little first.
Owen Wilson plays the Allen role that's, of course, at the center of the movie. He's great — neither over the top nor overly understated. But most of the other characters are more plot devices than attempts to create real people. His fiancee, played by Rachel McAdams, starts out loving but descends rapidly into a monolithic source of irritation for both Wilson's character Gil and the audience. Another character, meant to be an insufferable pedant, is given absolutely no redeeming qualities, and occupies the screen as a sort of boorish source of evil.
And there is time traveling! Well, sort of. Gil, Wilson's character, goes wandering in Paris at night, and sort of suddenly finds himself in the Paris of 1920s. It's cleverly done in the sense that there's no time machine or anything; he's suddenly just sort of there. Maybe it's magic, maybe it's all a dream: the movie doesn't even ask you to speculate. And it's a fine idea. The problem is that within a couple of evenings, Gil meets every famous American associated with 20s Paris. Here's a party with F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, with Cole Porter playing the piano. Then he wanders into an empty bar and runs into Ernest Hemingway. And here's where the movie goes off the rails a little: as soon as Gil sits down, Hemingway starts going on about shooting a tiger that's charging at you, and how the secret to good writing is being honest, and war. It's as though the idea of not making him too much of a caricature never even crossed Allen's mind.
Later on we meet Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, and lots of others. It'd be like going to New York in the early 80s and partying all night with the New York Dolls, wandering through the park with Patty Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, having lunch with a young Donald Trump, and bumping into Grandmaster Flash in the Bronx. (Actually, I'd go see that movie.)
The scene with Dali is particularly gratuitous. Played eye-rollingly "surreal"-with-quotes by Adrien Brody, Dali waves Gil over to his cafe table and proceeds to rant about "seeing a rhinoceros" for a bit. As the scene ends, he quickly introduces Man Ray and Luis Buñuel, as though Allen were trying to fill some sort of fake celebrity quota.
So why should you see this movie? Well, when it's not being overdone, the historical Paris bit is done exceptionally well, and it's cleverly folded into a pretty good story. You'll find at least some of the historical characters charming (I liked the Fitzgeralds and Gertrude stein, who is fabulously played by Kathy Bates). And Owen Wilson really holds the whole thing together. Now that your expectations have been adjusted, you just might be pleasantly surprised by how good it is.

I just saw it last night. I also thought about the caricature-ishness of the artist heros portrayed in the picture but, after the film, it ended up making sense to me. Wilson's character is a 'male' ingenue. Those are his portrayals of those geniuses. Among other things, one can't forget that he was about to marry Inez, when it was pretty clear all along it never made sense. He wasn't mature enough to realize this, that he was so utterly insecure about his novel, and so on.
It's clearly not a film masterpiece but it does raise a valuable question. Everybody suffers from the idea that things were better way back when.
- Alesh Jun 13, 08:29 PM #
I agree that the film makes more sense if we imagine the time-travel sequences to be Gil's hallucinations. But I don't think the movie wants us to think that—I find it more appealing to think the time travel is real…
I agree that the film's themes (the grass always looks greener, walking in the rain with a hot girl is fun, etc.) ring true. Woody's permanent eschewal of profundity just has to be accepted at this point.
- NicFitKid Jun 20, 02:35 PM #
Time travel is a science fiction device. But when auteurs like Allen play with it, its not SciFi (that's too pulp, too low brow for them). So I guess you have to either politely call it something else (magic, dream sequence, hallucination, other random cop out to avoid dragging genre into an auteur's work) or risk being the cranky guy in the room who points out the obvious.
Also, sounds like a pretentious, full of itself film, don't think I'll bother with it. Honestly, sometimes I wish Allen and the rest of his boomer cohort would just croak already.

Lincoln Police were in the right place at the right time and looking for someone else, when a burglary suspect walked up to them, moments after committing the theft.
According to police, about 1:00 a.m. Saturday, a man ran from a traffic stop in the Horizon Inn parking lot near Northwest 12th and Interstate 80.
Several officers surrounded the area, setting up a perimeter to contain the suspect as a K-9 followed his track.
About 1:15, some alert neighbors spotted a different man, 31-year-old Timothy Washington, acting suspicious. The neighbors said that because problems stemming out of a nearby bar, each Friday and Saturday night, they keep an extra eye out for anything unusual.
The neighbors told 10/11 News they spotted Washington walk down an alley in the 2500 block of W. Nance, until he saw two men outside in their back yard. Washington then circled back around and entered the front of that same house while the men were still in back.
The neighbors said Washington was inside for a while but flew out the front door, carrying a laptop computer and had two men hot on his heels. The neighbors said Washington was fast and the two men quickly lost sight of him as he fled south towards Northwest 12th.
Lincoln Police said Washington was spotted coming out of some trees onto NW 12th Street. Officers thought he was a close match to the recent reported burglary just blocks from their perimeter so they stopped him under the Interstate 80 overpass.
Washington was found to have items from the house in his pockets as well as a laptop discovered near where he came out of the woods.
Police say he was positively identified by witnesses.
Officers at the scene said they think he dropped off the laptop after seeing all the police cars with lights on.
Washington was arrested for burglary and lodged in the Lancaster County Jail.
The man who fled police from the traffic stop has been identified as Travis Williams. He was found about the same time Washington was taken into custody.

But luckily for the Cougars, they had enough firepower with their bats where it didn't matter.
They overcame five errors in the first five innings to defeat the visiting Owls 9-4.
The win allowed COC (6-7, 3-1) to avenge a loss to the Owls (8-8, 1-3) on Tuesday, who won via a walkoff homer at Citrus College.
"I think it's pretty simple," said Citrus head coach Steve Gomez. "They made quite a few errors early. We had five walks and didn't capitalize. Our middle relief, which has been very good, didn't throw very well."
Citrus starter Frank Moreno gave up four runs over his 5 1/3 innings, but reliever Matt Cole (1-2) took the loss by allowing four runs over his inning of work.
It was a four-run seventh inning by the Cougars that put the game out of reach for the Owls, along with a solid relief effort from Valencia graduate Aaron Mizak.
Mizak (1-0) earned the win in his first game on the mound for the Cougars. He didn't see any previous action this season because he was possibly going to redshirt. The freshman pitched four innings where he allowed just one hit and one run. He walked one batter and struck out three.
"When I went out there, usually you get an adrenaline rush," Mizak said. "I was so nervous I was going to mess up my redshirt that I didn't feel anything until the third inning."
The COC offense was able to back Mizak up after he gave up a run in the top of the seventh inning that tied the contest at 4-4.
After leadoff man Tyreace House grounded out in the bottom of the inning, the Cougars followed that with four straight singles.
Dean Benavidez, Julian Cruz, Canyon graduate John Hay and Kyle Harris all notched RBIs in the seventh.
Harris finished his day 1-for-4 with three RBIs, a run scored, and two sacrifice flies.
"We took a better approach in the second half of the game," Harris said. "We were more aggressive, we were taking more pitches and getting our pitch."
COC second baseman Brian Hernandez got his pitch in the bottom of the sixth, driving a 1-1 offering by Citrus starter Frank Moreno over the wall in left-center field. The Cougars added another run in that inning on an RBI single by Benavidez to take a 4-3 lead.
But after Mizak gave up an RBI single by Ryan Cornejo the following inning to tie the score, the right hander retired the last seven hitters of the game.
"Aaron was outstanding," said COC head coach Chris Cota. "We were very pleased with the way he pitched and he'll get a chance to pitch more."
Mizak's effort helped settle down a team that committed five errors, which led to the Owls scoring three runs in the first five innings. All of the fielding blunders happened behind Cougars' starter Mike McCravey, but only one of the three runs he gave up were earned over his five innings of work.
He gave up four hits, struck out five, walked four, and had two wild pitches.
"We struggled. We actually had our pitcher throw 35 to 40 pitches more than he needed to," Cota said. "Fortunately we held them down enough early so we could get our runs and beat them."

Metairie is a census-designated place (CDP) in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, United States and is a major part of the New Orleans Metropolitan Area. Metairie is the largest community in Jefferson Parish. It is an unincorporated area that would be the state's fourth-largest city if it were incorporated. The zip codes that serve the community are 70001-70006.
Métairie is the French term for a small tenant farm which paid the landlord with a share of the produce (sharecropping). In the 1760s, many of the original French farmers were tenants; after the American Civil War, the majority of the community's inhabitants were sharecroppers until urbanization started in the 1910s.
In the 1720s French settlers became the first Europeans to settle Metairie in the area known then as Tchoupitoulas and now as Metairie Ridge, a natural levee formed by an ancient branch of the Mississippi River which flowed through modern-day River Ridge, Metairie, Gentilly, and New Orleans East. It emptied into Mississippi Sound. The Acolapissa Native Americans used this ridge as a road, and it is the oldest road in the New Orleans area. Paved in the 1920s, it is called Metairie Road. An electric streetcar was installed running along Metairie Road in the late 1910s, opening the area to greater development. Upscale housing tracts were constructed off the road in the 1920s; this area is now known as "Old Metairie." It is today the most prestigious area of Metairie. The areas to the north and northwest of Metairie Road were not developed until after World War II. The land between Metairie Ridge and Lake Pontchartrain, which was cypress swamps and marshlands, was drained with the Wood Pump. With development of this new land for residences, Metairie's population grew in the 1940s as a result of cheaper land, lower taxes, and larger lots than in Orleans Parish.
In 1990, Metairie made history when one of its districts elected white supremacist David Duke to the Louisiana state legislature for a single term. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused a new migration from Orleans Parish, because housing was needed to replace what had been destroyed in the flooding of the city. It has been a racially neutral migration, with equal numbers of black and white residents moving to Jefferson Parish. The 2010 Census showed that Metairie has increasingly become more diverse.
Veterans Boulevard was laid out alongside a drainage canal, and became a commercial center of the region. The Central Business District of Metairie is located on Causeway Blvd near Lake Pontchartrain. Metairie also has one of the handful of major malls located in the New Orleans metro area. Lakeside Shopping Center is the highest-grossing mall in the New Orleans metropolitan area. In the 1970s and early 1980s, an area of bars and nightclubs opened in a section of Metairie known as "Fat City." Fat City is now the most racially diverse area in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area and is home to a vibrant restaurant scene. Several New Orleans radio and television stations have transmitter facilities in Metairie and Jefferson Parish; two of them, WGNO-TV and WNOL, now have studios and main offices in Metairie. Metairie has a large Mardi Gras season that touts itself as more family-friendly than the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
Fort Lauderdale Hurricane
The 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane with winds of directly hit Metairie. Much of the community was under six feet of water.
Hurricane Betsy
Hurricane Betsy, a category three storm, hit the area in 1965, causing extensive wind damage and moderate flooding.
Flood of 1995
The May 8th 1995 Louisiana Flood, which dumped upwards of twenty inches of rain into Metairie in a twelve-hour period, flooded some parts of the region, especially areas south and west of Metairie, including Kenner, Harahan, and River Ridge.
Hurricane Katrina
On August 29, 2005, Metairie was hit hard by the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, including widespread wind damage and flooding. There were 29 reported deaths related to Katrina in Metairie. According to satellite images and flood maps, upwards of 75% of Metairie was flooded. Initial insured damages in Metairie are between 3 and 5 billion US dollars. The death toll and damage were less in Metairie than in bordering Orleans Parish, largely because the Metairie side of the 17th Street Canal did not breach, and most residents had already evacuated.
Residents were given a mandatory evacuation on August 28, 2005, the first time one has ever been ordered. Residents were not allowed to return until September 4. then residents were allowed to the area only to visit their homes or business between 7AM and 6PM. Residents were not allowed to return for longer until September 15, 2005. This period of over two weeks in exile angered many residents, especially those whose homes flooded. As the owners were unable to empty the houses of water, the structures suffered more damage.
Metairie was used as a staging area to evacuate people from New Orleans. The most organized effort took place where Causeway intersects I-10. There evacuees gathered or were brought to wait for buses.
Many Metairie residents are joining a class action lawsuit against Aaron Broussard because of his removal of pump operators. Other residents have attempted to recall and remove Broussard as Parish President for what they see as negligence, but they failed to get the support and signatures needed.
Broussard resigned his position on January 8, 2010 in the face of a grand jury investigation of his staff.
