With 11 days still left until the season opener, San Diego State coach Steve Fisher broke tradition with his basketball team Monday afternoon.
He practiced zone offense.
Usually it is the last offensive element he installs, and usually just the Cliff notes in the preseason. But this is no ordinary season, not when you open against Syracuse … on an aircraft carrier … in the autumn wind and chill … with the night sky and a conning tower as a shooting backdrop. Zone defense has been increasingly less fashionable in college basketball these days, except with Coach Jim Boeheim and the Orange, who swear by it.
Fisher spent close to a half-hour on zone offense Monday, specifically against Boeheim's famed adaptation of the 2-3, and plans to every day until the Nov. 9 opener where simply hoisting perimeter jumpers may or may not be an option, depending on the wind speed.
"We're going to start cutting tape on Syracuse to let them see the length we'll go up against, and what some of these other teams are doing (against it)," Fisher said. "We don't want to try to re-invent the wheel here, but I'm sure we'll have more time spent on zone offense than we've had in preparation for any team, ever.
"Whether that's going to be helpful or not, who knows. We'll see."
Injury update
Three back, one down.
DeShawn Stephens, Jamaal Franklin and Winston Shepard returned to the floor Monday after missing parts or all of Saturday's workout with minor knocks. But then James Rahon got hurt.
Rahon tweaked his left ankle against the basket standard and spent the final hour of practice with an ice bag on the training table. It is the same ankle he hurt last season and aggravated in the spring, ultimately requiring surgery that sidelined him most of the summer.
The good news: Fisher is hopeful for a quick return because the injury is higher up the ankle and "not where he had the surgery."
Midway coaching clinic
Fisher and Boeheim will be the headliners at a unique coaching clinic held on the USS Midway Museum on Nov. 8, the day before their teams play before a national television audience. Also speaking will be former NBA coach Don Casey, a longtime El Cajon resident, and Aztec great Michael Cage.
The clinic runs from 6 to 10 p.m. at the court set up on the aircraft carrier's flight deck. The cost is $55 in advance (a bargain compared to most clinics of this caliber), $65 at the door. Registration is available at www.basketballcoach.com.
"If you can pick up one or two things, or maybe you can reinforce that, yeah, that's what we do," Fisher said, "it's invaluable if you are really passionate about learning and being a better coach. Having a chance to listen to Boeheim talk, whether it's on the 2-3 zone or just about 36 years of coaching Syracuse, you can pick up stuff that really helps you in your profession."
Fisher honored
The Copley YMCA will honor Fisher as its man of the year Tuesday night at its 30th annual Civic Tribute.
"It really is a nice honor, a very nice honor," Fisher said. "A lot of people that have done a lot for others who have got this before me. I'm flattered."
Single game tickets
On Monday morning, Ticketmaster put on sale a limited number of tickets to both SDSU exhibition games and the first three regular-season home games against San Diego Christian (Nov. 11), Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov. 21) and Texas Southern (Dec. 3). The tickets are generally in section N, in the corner above the visitor's bench.
SDSU announced weeks ago that the entire season is sold out. The seats available are believed to be turn-backs originally allotted for fans of the visiting team.

Teacher who threatened pupils with voodoo curses banned for four years
Special educational needs teacher Roslyn Holloway, who threatened pupils with voodoo death curses and physical punishment, has been banned for four years.
Roslyn Holloway pulled out some of a child's hair, wrapped it round a voodoo doll and told her horrified humanities class that the pupil's leg would hurt and if she dropped the keyring doll in to water the boy would drown.
The boy was left with a red mark on his scalp, a General Teaching Council panel in Birmingham heard.
The teacher from Lord Silkin Trust School in Telford, Shropshire, is also accused of snatching out clumps of another child's hair when he wouldn't stop talking, before threatening him with another voodoo curse.
The 49-year-old, who taught students aged 13 at the school from September 2003 until her suspension in January last year, called pupils names like 'Ginge' and 'Black Boy' and told another she would never kiss him because he was a 'big hairy frog'.
She is also believed to have slapped a boy on the forehead in a school corridor before calling him an 'idiot' in front of the class before threatening to bang his head on a desk.
Holloway, orginally from Shropshire but who now lives in Yell, in the Shetland Isles, also discussed 'inappropriate' subjects with her classes such as black magic and told them that sticking pins in dolls could curse people.
Deputy head Anne Lyons told the hearing: 'I don't think she was sorry at all.'
Panel chairman Max Hyde added: 'Her actions made some vulnerable children believe this behaviour was appropriate.'
'In addition she made inappropriate physical contact with pupils who on some occasions were vulnerable children with special educational needs. On occasions this caused significant distress to the relevant pupils.
'It was particularly poor to legitimise this behaviour in a school setting that cares for vulnerable pupils. Her continued poor conduct shows a deep seeded attitude and personal problem.'
The rogue teacher, who had been formally cautioned by Police for battery over her treatment of her students unbeknown to the school, was found guilty of six counts of 'unacceptable professional conduct'.

Flexible Software Design: Systems Development for Changing Requirements
"Flexible Software Design: Systems Development for Changing Requirements" begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of flexibility, explaining the reality of imperfect knowledge and how development participants must change their thinking to implement flexible software. The second part covers design guidelines, stable identifiers, stable information structures, the Generic Entity Cloud concept, and the regulation that prevents IT intervention. Part three relates strategic planning to flexible systems. It examines the elicitation of requirements and the relevance of agile methods in a flexible environment. In part four, the book details the flexible UniverSIS system and explains the applications and extensions of the Generic Entity Cloud tools.
Review By: Arvind Pal Singh
"Flexible Software Design" covers techniques to improve flexibility in software systems. Targeting multiple audiences--IT professionals, business professionals, managers, and academicians--the authors discuss software flexibility, stable information structures, and strategies for achieving flexible software systems. They describe UniverSIS system and Evaluator facility for readers who wish to practice those principles. (One of the authors is a developer of the UniverSIS.) Frequently ignored aspects of flexible design are dealt with in a very organized manner, suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals. Lots of examples make the presented concepts easier to understand.
IT industry professionals realize the need to reduce efforts, manpower, and budget resources for software maintenance projects. This book shows "how not to do" maintenance.
Due to rapidly changing business requirements, it is important to understand flexible or organic, adaptable systems. This understanding helps systems to flex with their real world counterparts. After reading this well organized book, readers should have a better understanding of system requirements and the software development cycle.
Resynchronization within maintenance is the primary activity of a software system, and ease of maintenance should be one of the central considerations in the software cycle. The authors stress the need for shifting focus to future changes in business requirements, rather than stressing functional accuracy.
With its focus on flexible software design and methodologies, this book doesn't relate directly to QA testing. It is about a shift in thinking, so that ease of maintenance is one of the most important considerations made at the beginning of a software project.

Behind the News
Fallout from Virginia Tech's Mass Shooting
Debates swirl about legal limits and leadership.
THE MASS SHOOTING ON APRIL 16 AT VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTI-tute and State University-the deadliest in U.S. history has reopened arguments in higher ed about privacy laws that limit revelations about troubled students. It has also prompted reviews of security measures on campuses nationwide.
The shooting at Virginia Tech is being called higher education's Columbine. While the 1999 shooting at the Colorado high school left 12 dead, the Virginia Tech tragedy had 33 casualties, including the shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, an English student at the university. In a video sent to NBC News between his two killing sprees on campus, Cho references Columbine, while using rhetoric characteristic of such deadly suicidal shooters. Cho saw himself as a victim who was driven to kill classmates and faculty in revenge. In the reporting in the aftermath, former high school classmates recall Cho being antisocial, while at the same time being the victim of bullying. He obviously carefully planned his attack, dispelling the notion that such shooters suddenly "snap."
There were plenty of warning signs about Cho. Several women on campus complained about Cho's e-mails and instant messages to them. Professors, including poet Nikki Giovanni, were disturbed by the violent subject matter in Cho's coursework. Cho was mandated by a court in 2005 to get help for his mental illness, but Virginia Tech administrators have clearly noted that this was outside of the school's legal purview. Of course, the limits of student privacy laws, the reach of in loco parentis, and a university's responsibility have dominated the media coverage in the aftermath of the shooting.
"They can't really kick someone out because they're writing papers about weird topics, even if they seem withdrawn and hostile," Richard Kadison, M.D., director of mental health services, Harvard University, told the press.
Still, there are several court cases that have challenged the current understanding, notably the lawsuit brought by the parents of Elizabeth Shin, an MIT student who committed suicide after exhibiting suicidal behavior and seeking counseling. MIT respected Shin's right to privacy by not informing her parents of her troubles. The parents, in turn, sued the university claiming they would have helped their daughter had they only known the trouble she was in. MIT eventually settled with Shin's parents for an undisclosed sum.
The Virginia Tech tragedy also highlights the need for tight emergency plans and campus security. Security officials have been roundly criticized for not locking down the campus immediately after Cho's first shooting incident in a residence hall. After killing two people, Cho then slipped away, mailed his tape, and resurfaced two hours later to kill 30 others in Norris Hall. Campus police lost time chasing down a false lead. They also met with President Charles Steger before finally sending out e-mail alerts and announcing warning messages on a public address system. "That is basically a flaw in this operation," says Adam Thermos, a campus security consultant. -Jean Marie Angelo
Putting the Pieces Together
THE BATTLE TO RESTORE NEWcomb College, the women's college of Tulane University (La.), as a degree granting institution continues in court this month, while efforts to support and fund the fight grow.
In March, nine pieces of prized Newcomb pottery drew $27,500 during an auction at New Orleans Auction Galleries, Inc., organized to rally Newcomb supporters and raise money for legal fees. One of the pieces fetched $15,600 from an anonymous participant who called in his bids.
Newcomb pottery is famous in the art world for its unique colors and markings, and for the history behind it. The pieces were decorated by Newcomb College students and alumna at a time when most women either married or became teachers but did not become professional artists, according to Jean Bragg, owner of the Jean Bragg Gallery of Southern Art and author of The Newcomb Style and Newcomb College Arts and Crafts Sales Exhibition (2000 and 1998, respectively, both self-published).
"This gave these young women an opportunity to produce a product and become an independent resource for making money, and having a livelihood," says Bragg.
Supporters of Newcomb College, such as Bragg, believe Tulane made a mistake in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when the Board of Administrators opted to dissolve Newcomb as a college, creating in its place the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College Institute (which does not grant degrees).
"Sometimes decisions are made in haste, and there was a lot of panic and haste after the hurricane," says Renee Seblatnegg, president of The Future of Newcomb College, Inc., which is dedicated to saving Newcomb College and funding the legal fight. "Newcomb had a terrific enrollment, it was financially sound, and it was one of the strongest parts of the university."
What we're after here is real culture change, and culture change doesn't come easily. We are comfortable taking the lead.
-Princeton Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel on grade deflation.
Money raised through the pottery auction will help pay for the legal fees for Howard v. Tulane University, a lawsuit filed by two nieces of the college's founder. The suit is on appeal in Louisiana's state court system and is slated for argument this month. It asserts that Newcomb should remain open based on the principle of "donor intent," since Josephine Louise Newcomb donated $3,626,551 to Tulane to advance the cause of female education through the establishment of the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College. -C.M.F.
CHEA Fights Back Against Degree Mills
IN THE 1980S THE PROBLEM WAS SO BAD, THE FBI LAUNCHED AN investigation called "DipScam," shorthand for Operation Diploma Scam. That initiative led to the closing of some 40 phony degree mills and more than 20 convictions.
But degree mills are back and, aided by the internet, have grown to what some estimate may be a $1 billion industry. And with people in business, government, and even education itself obtaining bogus credentials, they're not going away soon.
' Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.
-High school senior Lauren Heilman, who still plans to attend Virginia Tech in the fall, quoted in the Richmond-Times Dispatch.
Now The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (www.chea.org) has published a list of suggestions to help combat site-based and distance-based degree mills. The suggestions have been sent to key stakeholders in state and federal government, educators, accreditors, and others, to alert them to the problem and enlist their aid.
1. Know What Degree Mills Are: Create Tools for Identification
- Identify key characteristics and common practices of mills.
- Develop and apply definitions of degree mills.
2. Stop the Funding for Degree Mills: Deny Government or Private Sector Financial Support
- Assure that degree mills do not receive public (taxpayer) funds.
- Assure that students attending mills do not receive publicly funded student aid.
- Assure that there is no employer-funded tuition assistance.
3. Inform the Public about Degree Mills: Educate for Awareness
- Routinely inform the public about how degree mills harm students and society.
- Assure that advertising of higher education is confined to legitimate providers and not degree mills.
- Identify and publicize questionable marketing and recruitment practices associated with degree mills.
- Educate the public about the role of the Internet in making distance-based degree mills readily available.
4. Pursue Legal Action Against Degree Mills
- Encourage and assist with the development of federal, state, or local law that make establishing, licensing, and operating degree mills illegal.
- Work to make the use of fraudulent degrees (e.g., for obtaining or upgrading employment) illegal.
5. Use Evidence of Quality Provided by Recognized Accreditation and Quality Assurance Bodies
- Use accreditation and quality assurance lists to identify reliable higher education institutions and programs.
6. Address Degree Mills Internationally: Contain the Expansion
- Establish cross-border agreements among countries that discourage the import and export of site-based and distance-based degree mills.
- Develop reliable country-based lists of legitimate higher education providers.
- Develop a list of degree mill characteristics, practices and providers. -Tim Goral
Champlain's Budding Cybercrime Fighters
BURLINGTON, VT., MAY NOT BE A LIKELY PLACE TO STUDY THE criminal mind. After all, how many bad guys can you come across in a college town? Well, a professor at Champlain College (Vt.) has a surprising answer to that question. Burlington, apparently, is a good place to study crime-especially the emerging field of cybercrime.
Since 2003, Gary Kessler, professor and director of the college's Center for Digital Investigation, has led about 160 students who are majoring in this field of study, which is part of the college's bachelor of science program. Everything is fair game: identity theft; those scam spam messages from an alleged Nigerian bank that beg the recipient to help retrieve funds; hackers; careless criminals that leave digital trails on cellphones and PDAs.
Now Champlain's cybercrime academics are teaming up with local law enforcement. Thanks to a $650,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance, two faculty members will conduct digital investigations and teach local cops and detectives how to better fight cybercrime. Kessler, too, provides pro bono services to the police. "What the cops bring us is real experience in how this stuff really works," Kessler says.
Cybercrime is a growing field, one that's bound to become more important with the proliferation of devices criminals use to contact each other or record information that is later used as evidence. Kessler asserts that some type of digital evidence is now part of almost every crime committed. "Computers are now as much a part of modern law enforcement as the baton, sidearm, radio, and handcuffs," he says. -J.M.A.
Meaningful Spring Breaks
SINCE HURRICANE KATRINA DEVASTATED THE Gulf Coast in 2005, it has been fashionable for college students to spend spring break in that region helping with recovery efforts. But at some IHEs, "service breaks" have been taking place for years. The Global Partnerships program, for example, launched at North Park University (Ill.) eight years ago. Students get sent to international locations like Zambia and Thailand and domestic locations like Appalachia to work with underprivileged children. Richard Johnson, director of University Ministries, says such trips have been happening unofficially since the school's founding. This year a total of 140 students will go on trips during the spring, summer, and winter breaks. Gannon University (Pa.) students have been spending part of summer break at a Lakota-Sioux summer camp in South Dakota since 1993 and working with Habitat for Humanity since 1995. Students also work in a soup kitchen in New York City and on the Arizona/Mexico border. Arlene Montevecchio, director of the Center for Social Concerns, says they had to turn students away from the program this year. And, of course, both schools have sent groups to New Orleans. -A.M.
Hit Em Where It Really Counts
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO THE UNIVERSITY of Illinois at Springfield began billing students in campus-owned apartments a flat rate for utilities. The dire warnings Director of Housing John Ringle received about students wasting electricity (opening windows in December, leaving TVs on at all hours) came true, with some monthly bills as high as $400. Now students will be charged if they use more than 10 percent above the average for their court. Ringle says all the units have individual meters, but going back to individual bills isn't feasible because the new units would be billed through the college, causing a drain on department resources, and the old units would be billed directly from the utility company, causing logistical nightmares because students don't stay put. "I'm not sure there is a perfect solution," Ringle says. Most students are open to suggestions on ways to conserve. Students have requested any savings be put toward winterizing the older units. -A.M.

Wiltshire Council has announced plans to cut at least 18 jobs from its education department.
The council's senior director for schools and learning, Stephanie Denovan, outlined plans at a briefing for staff at Trowbridge Civic Centre last week, with 129 people being considered at risk and given the option to take voluntary redundancy.
Wiltshire Council expects to lose around £3m in funding for education when its budget is confirmed in March.
It has made around £2.4m in cuts, but insists redundancies are needed to make up the shortfall.
"It is very hard to be specific at this stage but we are looking at around 18-20 full time equivalent redundancies," said Mrs Denovan.
"I don't want to lose anyone as I've worked here for a number of years, built up some really good teams and value the staff.
"For those leaving us, we will do everything we can to support them with their future opportunities as they have all done very well representing Wiltshire."
None of the staff at risk are teachers but they do work in early years, primary, secondary, post-14 and adult education, with administrative staff also in danger.
Staff have been asked to consider voluntary redundancy, with a deadline of February 1 for any applications.
A reduction in Government funding and more schools across the region becoming academies, allowing them to control their own finances, have been noted as factors that have led to the redundancies.
Mrs Denovan said: "Academies are one part of it but it is not as simple as that, because every academy in Wiltshire still buys back some services from Wiltshire Council.
"Look at HMV going one day and Blockbuster the next – we live in difficult economic times. It is a culmination of the financial state of this country and that people prefer money put into preventative care for children and adults. This news was probably not unexpected by many in the room."
Staff met Mrs Denovan and other representatives for about an hour at the Civic Centre last week and were given information packs to take away.
Lead advisor Dr Tom Robson, who has worked for Wiltshire Council for 20 years, said: "For most people it is quite an emotional situation and a very difficult outcome.
"I have to say the council is a superb organisation and one of the best around, and I know this is a decision not taken lightly but it has a big effect on all of us."
There will be a 90-day consultation period and the council will take further action once it knows whether any staff want to take voluntary redundancy and once the budget has been finalised.
Wiltshire Council's head of school improvement, Julie Cathcart, said: "If people do have any alternative suggestions we invite them to comeback to us and discuss them.
"Obviously if come March we suddenly find we have an extra £1m available we can pull redundancies, but that is unlikely."

In all recent issues of GQ, I have noticed the models don't wear socks with their shoes. Is this a new spring/summer fashion? Should the everyday man go sockless?
I have many friends who don't wear socks with their shoes seasonally. I also remember the photographer Peter Beard going sockless under his Weejuns in winter, but I always thought this was less about style and more about why he would pick up a frying pan without using a pot holder. Photographer Wayne Maser rarely wears socks between his beautiful bespoke suits and his beautiful bespoke shoes (which are also, in an almost desperate gesture of je ne sais quoi, often unlaced). My very best dressed friend goes sockless in summer, but his genes were generated in a very warm land near the birthplace of civilization and so, I suspect, his feet don't sweat much. I am a sock person. You'll usually find me wearing them when my brethren are going sockless. I guess this is a matter of personal style, but I am convinced that wearing socks is healthier. I also think going sockless works better in the country than in the city. Sockless is not a good business look. Also, I tend to think of the city as a gritty place and socks as protection against the dog-trodden, sooty streets. Then again, I'm out there on the sidewalks craning my head at girls in strappy sandals. (Sorry, dear!) Maybe I'm a hypocrite. Or maybe it's just my dank Irish feet. But I also think socks are absolutely necessary for business, and maybe it's just that I never really feel off duty.

In this paper we present a novel approach to the problem of spatio-temporal alignment of cardiac MR image sequences. This novel method has the ability to correct spatial misalignment caused by global acquisition and local shape differences as well as temporal misalignment caused by differences in the length of the cardiac cycles or by differences in the motion patterns of the hearts. In contrast to our previous approach [1], the algorithm optimizes the spatial and temporal transformation components separately, thus significantly speeding up the registration process. To achieve this we have developed a novel approach for the calculation of the temporal registration which does not require the spatial alignment of the image sequences. The method was evaluated using fifteen cardiac MR image sequences from healthy volunteers and the results were compared to the previously presented method. The results indicate that the performance of the method is similar to the previously presented method [1] while the the computational complexity has been significantly reduced.

Tagged: color issue, h2, strong, wrong color
January 17, 2013 at 10:12 pm #19507
Hello there. I seem to be having a slight problem with custom colors not showing up properly. I am using Incarnate Theme for the Library I work for, you can see this at http://test.atwaterlibrary.ca The colors in question are those in the Frontpage template, mainly the slideshow and Text Area/Callout/Quotes section, where the bolded text, and H2 text seem to be frozen to #bbbbbb. This is not in any CSS file and is listed under the source code as "custom styles set at your backend"… where in the backend do I set this? None of my colors are FFFFFF…
Under the Styling options for "Big Slideshow Area" I have the following set:
Default Background: #972042
Alternate Background: #000000
Primary Color: #2f7999
Highlight Color: #0f5a78
Font Color: #ffffff
Now the font color works just fine, till I bold text, I do not want the bolded text to change color, I want it to be white as specified.
The bar below does the same thing, H2 and Strong are both #bbbbbb but I cannot for the life of me find out where to change this or why it is no the colors I specified.
Links in the Main area are the same, the titles should be the link colors (as they are links) but they are not…
How can I make these changes?January 17, 2013 at 10:32 pm #103982
Ok, I seem to have had some info messed up but the color change works, I just don;t want the bolded text to be Darker then regular text.January 18, 2013 at 6:28 pm #103983
Hi matthewkoster,
It looks like you've found a work-around when viewing your site just now. If you wanted to overwrite it with a style, you could Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top .slideshow_color strong {
color: #FFF;
Or just for the home page:
#top.home .slideshow_color strong {
color: #FFF;

Thank you very much, yeah I have been travelling through the site trying to get things to work the way the client wants.
One suggestion that not only the client would like, but myself as well. The ability to click "Edit" when logged in and viewing the page… With a site that will have over 200 pages and several posts, its not easy to have to go to the admin section first, then have to find the post/page in question (clicking Next several times, etc). This can be an annoyance, where as an Edit link right on the page, you just click it, edit it, update and voila, your back to being live. Very important for the client.January 19, 2013 at 2:20 am #103985
You find the Edit button when you are logged in as an admin on the very top of the screen. You can edit entry, pages etc.

Repairing or remodeling a bathroom that meets and exceeds a client's expectations while staying on budget can be a challenging and time-consuming task.
With buyers still relatively scarce, home builders have to be shrewder than ever with their sales and marketing strategies in order to be competitive. If "build it, and they will come" was ever true, it certainly is not now.
A new book out called 'The Elements of Building: A Business Handbook for Residential Builders and Tradesmen' by Mark Kerson is a valuable read.
Many winterization jobs are simple enough to add into your scope without adding substantial time or cost to ongoing jobs, and a few simple upgrades to your toolbox can help you knock it out even more quickly and effectively.
Firefighting is a well-known management term for, well running around like a headless chicken doing work that is actually not productive or profit making.
With their laser focus on the 55-and-older market, I wonder if home builders and developers might be overlooking an emerging niche: singles (photo: Four Lights Tiny House Co.).

Remodelers around the country cited increased demand among homeowners for kitchen upgrades in 2014, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
When designing a wood-framed floor system for residential projects, building to meet the applicable codes is only one step in the design process. Having met code requirements, there is an array of choices a designer must consider that impact the day-to-day use of the floor.
So often the thought for increasing profit is to build more homes. When in fact, the easiest way to increase profit is to reduce the Cost of Poor Quality.
Cost of Quality (COQ) consists of:
Prevention Costs
Appraisal Costs
Failure Costs
Design trends come and go, but one change that's likely permanent is homebuyers' desire for more open floor plans that provide a better space for entertaining, encourage interaction, and open up interior rooms to more natural light.
Technology in retail has greatly advanced over the past several years, not only for consumers, but for professional customers as well. Sometimes new technology can seem intimidating or like a hassle. It doesn't have to be.

Collaboration is far and away one of my favorite aspects of the building industry. In fact the practice of Lean Design demands collaboration between the architect or designer and the building team to eliminate waste and maximize appeal.

National intelligence chief of Afghanistan dismissed
Afghan President Hamid Karzai dismissed the national intelligence chief Wednesday, and lawmakers said he will submit nominees to replace the defense and interior ministers who were removed earlier this month by parliament.
The president is trying to shore up his shaken security team as his administration struggles to build an army and police force that can fight the Taliban as U.S. and other foreign forces begin to withdraw.
The shakeup could also set up a new showdown with the country's parliament — which must approve the candidates — because his reported choice for defense minister was one of the men who had been ousted by lawmakers, the Washington Post reported.

Police arrested Andrew Comber, 38, on Saturday at his home in Salmon Arm, BC, in connection with last year's Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver.
Comber has been charged with participating in a riot, mischief and arson, reported The Canadian Press. Police allege he set a stuffed bear on fire and threw it on top of an overturned truck. They also say Comber was "very active and noticeable" during the riots, painting himself green and even taunting police.
More from GlobalPost: Vancouver riots: The shame and the blame spread online
Vancouver's Integrated Riot Investigation Team Inspector Les Yeo said the unit is now trying to identify suspects not living in the Greater Vancouver area, according to The Province.
"This is the second time in as many days that suspected rioters have been arrested in their homes outside the Lower Mainland," said Yeo. "With the help and support of partner police agencies, rioters won't be able to escape justice by hiding in their communities."
Comber is also wanted in Alberta for many charges stemming from a 2004 incident after a Calgary Flames hockey game, reported The Globe and Mail. According to police, those charges include assaulting a peace officer, mischief and theft under $5,000.
Not everyone who participated in the Vancouver riots set fires and taunted police. One couple became famous during the Stanley Cup aftermath when a photo of the two laying on the street kissing amongst rioters and police went viral.

Newsstand: December 5, 2012
Wednesday: her friends call her Wednes, her enemies call her Hump Day. In the news: bikers get their belt buckles back, Hudak's provincial pop-up shop, casino-referendum piggyback ballots, the weather, and Rob Ford in court.
Toronto Hells Angels are getting back a whole bunch of fancy stuff that was taken in a 2007 police raid, now that a judge has ruled the Crown does not have the grounds to hold on to it. The rings, pins, calendars, T-shirts, belt buckles, and other belongings being returned to the bikers all feature the "death head" symbol that, according to club rules, only full members are allowed to own. The judge in the case, Maureen Forestell, essentially ruled that something with the symbol on it is not inherently criminal and therefore can't be held unless it is actually used in a crime. Good, now we will all see far fewer bikers' butt cracks.
Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak thinks that it is about time alcohol is made available at grocery stores, corner stores, and privately owned liquor stores, not just the LCBO and stores run by alcohol producers. That would be convenient, but the LCBO currently contributes about $1.63 billion to the province each year, so it wouldn't be cheap. This follows statements from Hudak on Monday claiming that the province shouldn't be in the business of running gambling, either (this also brings in billions of dollars for the province). What is this, Hudak, a war on the only fun things the provincial government has going for it?
Councillor Adam Vaughan (Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina) thinks that if we're going to go through all the trouble of having a by-election to pick a new mayor (an if indeed), we might as well throw another question on the ballot, too. Vaughan has suggested that a casino referendum could be added to any ballot stemming from the post-Fordcourt fallout. The Ontario Gambling Commission has said in the past that it will not put a casino in any city that does not want one, and this would be a pretty good way to gauge that.
Whoa, baby, it was a scorcher yesterday. The thermometer-shattering 16 degrees above zero has set a new record for the warmest December 4 in Toronto. Okay, now put your jean shorts away, because today is back to normal, boring, cold December temperatures.
Lastly, keep an eye to Torontoist today (just like you do every day), as Mayor Rob Ford takes his case before Superior Court Justice Gladys Pardu to try to get a stay in the ruling that will take him out of office next Tuesday. Ford's appeal in his conflict-of-interest case is set for January 7, 2013, and legal experts are expecting him to remain in office at least until that is decided. But, then again, some of those legal experts probably didn't expect him to get turfed in the first place.
This post subheading's originally misspelled Tim Hudak's surname. Torontoist regrets the error.

The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report for the July 2 crash of a Piper PA-12 at Merrill Field. The accident, which resulted in the death of 61-year-old pilot and sole occupant Charles Hancock, occurred shortly after takeoff at 8:20 a.m. A post-crash examination of the aircraft's elevator control cables showed they were misrigged and "... attached to the incorrect (opposite) locations on the elevator control horn, resulting in a reversal of elevator control inputs."
According to the report, the airplane had been undergoing extensive maintenance for about five years and neither the airplane's co-owner nor others at the airport were aware of it having been flown before the accident flight.
A pilot who was standing on the ramp and witnessed the departure told the NTSB investigator that after the aircraft became airborne, "... its climb kept getting steeper and steeper and did not level off like he expected it would. He said that the airplane 'wasn't pitching quickly or violently but slowly' and 'as if the pilot had no ability to stop it.' The climb appeared so abnormal to the witness that he yelled to get the attention of another pilot on the ramp."
A second witness also on the ramp told the investigator that "the airplane climbed straight up then 'pivoted' to a nose-down position and descended straight to the ground."
An airframe and powerplant mechanic assisted with the examination of the airplane after it was removed from the crash site. The report states that examination revealed the manipulation of the ailerons and rudder resulted in correct directional movement of the rear control stick and each rudder pedal. However, after establishing elevator control cable continuity, the NTSB investigator determined that "manipulating the rear control stick aft (to command airplane nose-up) resulted in cable movement corresponding with a downward deflection of the elevator (which would result in airplane-nose-down flight)."
The mechanic assisting with the examination confirmed that the elevator control cables were misrigged.
A final probable cause report on the accident will likely not be released until early 2015.

Donor Stem Cell Transplant With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Primary Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Recruitment status was: Active, not recruiting
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is not yet known whether donor stem cell transplant is more effective with or without chemotherapy in treating primary myelodysplastic syndrome.
PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying how well donor stem cell transplant given with chemotherapy works and compares it with donor stem cell transplant without chemotherapy in treating children with primary myelodysplastic syndrome.
|Leukemia Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
|Drug: cytarabine Drug: mercaptopurine Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Procedure: allogeneic bone marrow transplantation Procedure: biopsy Procedure: peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|Prospective Study of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) in Childhood
- Patient numbers in the different FAB subtypes
- Survival
- Event-free survival
|Study Start Date:
|July 1998
- Determine, by a standard approach, the frequency of different FAB subtypes in children with primary myelodysplastic syndromes.
- Determine the frequency of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in these patients.
- Determine the survival of patients treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation with or without induction chemotherapy.
- Determine the rate of complete remission in patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the event-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the relapse rate, morbidity, and mortality of patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine different subsets of patients who benefit from these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to FAB subtype (refractory anemia (RA) or RA with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) vs RA with excess blasts (RAEB) vs RAEB in transformation (RAEB-t) vs juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML)).
Patients undergo complete medical and physical examination. Patients are screened for the following aberrations: -7, +8, +21, t(8;21), t(15;17), and inv(16). Smears of peripheral blood and bone marrow, as well as bone marrow biopsies and all cytogenetic and molecular studies performed on blood or bone marrow, are evaluated by a panel of international experts.
Patients with progressive RA or RARS undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) according to EWOG-MDS SCT studies. Patients with stable RA or RARS wait for an optimal donor before undergoing ASCT. Patients with RAEB with fewer than 15% bone marrow blasts undergo ASCT. Patients with RAEB with at least 15% bone marrow blasts and patients with RAEB-t with fewer than 30% bone marrow blasts receive standard acute myeloid leukemia (AML) induction therapy and then undergo ASCT. Patients with RAEB-t with at least 30% bone marrow blasts are considered for standard AML induction therapy.
Patients with advanced JMML undergo evaluation for splenectomy and receive chemotherapy with mercaptopurine and cytarabine every 3-4 weeks (for 1-4 doses). Patients then undergo ASCT.
Patients are followed every 6 months.

Made in Italy: Longest sausage in the world
Butchers in Italy have pinched the record for creating the
world's longest sausage from their Romanian counterparts, creating a banger more than half a kilometre long.
The 594-metre long sausage took ten cooks from Penne, a small town in the centre of the country, three hours to craft.
More than half a tonne of meat – weighing exactly 1,300 lbs – was used to stuff the skin for the longest-ever sausage, which was produced in the main street.
It was officially measured at 597.8m and was declared to have easily beaten the previous Romanian record-holder, whose sausage was only 392m in length, according to the Guinness Book of Records.The giant sausage was cut up into 7,000 ordinary-sized bangers, stuffed in sandwiches and sold to the spectators to raise money for local charity Caritas.
Head chef Alberto Della Pelle said: 'We are very proud to have created a new world record with such delicious food.'
Italy's getting something of a reputation for smashing culinary world records – in 2008 the town of Mottola, Puglia, produced in the world's largest flat bread focaccia pizza, covering 297 square metres.
And, in 2004, Mottola made the world's longest sandwich, which spanned 634.5 metres in length.
More: It's the world's longest noodle!

I want to write to my fellow active breastfeeding mamas to share a bit of my personal experience with breastfeeding and running. I have many women ask me questions about how my milk didn't dry up or if I thought I was losing nutritional value. Many other questions were regarding if I felt tired or what I did about leaking...sometimes you just gotta let it leak and brush it off as sweating. To be absolutely honest, I've never ran into any problems breastfeeding my little guy (and we are still breastfeeding at 25 months). I'm not tooting my own horn here because it was HARD work but it can be done. I think running has helped my milk supply maybe even added a bit of power milk to Anders.
|Running a 2:58 marathon. Anders still solely breastfeeding.
Why do I think I didn't run into any problems? Well, I believe it came down to a few things – first off, I was determined! Second off, a fruit and vegetable diet plus adequate hydration will do wonders for your boob milk supply. Third off (the most frightening and maddening for most women), I fed my little guy every 2-4 hours through the night until 16 months. Yep, I kept that milk supply fresh and moving. No breast infections, no swollen breasts well except after the 50-miler in Switzerland when Anders was 10 months. Those were some big boobs; thank God for supportive sports bras.
There are a few other things that I'm sure helped keep my milk supply flowing. Every night, when Anders was solely breastfed (pretty much until 12 months old he only wanted breast milk), I drank mama's milk tea at night. I don't know if it was a huge factor but mentally it made me think...yep, I'm upping the milk supply here. I get to stay at home with Anders so I'm sure the benefit of allowing the boob to always be around helped keep things on track. I also quickly got over the fact that the boobs always needed to be sweat free. I was (and still am) running double, sometimes, triple sessions, and well, a mom has got to do what a mom has got to do and that if that means pulling out the breast after a run, so be it. Another thing is that I was not trying to be stick thing, super lean...I eat food. I'm definitely lean but probably 5lbs from where I should be in order to run my fastest. Some days, when I'm feeling vain, I think about my little extra fat and sigh but then slap my self in the face to remind me that I am supporting a little growing life here. I am supporting this little guy who means everything to me but yay, vanity is evil and having my super lean, speedy body back would be nice.
Ok, regarding being tired. I was and still am haha. Waking up all through the night for 16 months was difficult but the benefits were huge. It is amazing what you can get accustomed to. I cracked (like crazy cracked) at 16 months and knew we had to get a few more hours of sleep in a row. I still wake up for Anders twice a night but this is easy compared to 6 months ago. Again, I was determined and no matter how tired, I would get my butt out that door to run. The thing is, I don't run for weight loss. I run for adventure, passion, love, confidence, testing my limits, squeezing every little ounce of talent out of my body. If you are running for weight loss, forget it...it will wear on you. You'll feel like you are taking crazy pills and start shaving your head like Brittany Spears. Oh lordy.
A few other pointers for keeping to milk supply up...drink your breakfast! Yep, I typically do coconut water or raw orange juice then run my first workout. HYDRATION, ladies. That is key. Don't workout without being hydrated or without a bit of liquid calories. Also, learn to shrug off random leaking. It happens, all the time. I am breast pads biggest customer but sometimes I forget or don't want to run with super absorbent pads in my bra. I would let it leak then spray some water and act like I was overheating or something (of course, I'm running circles in Central Park but if I was frolicking through Vermont woods, I'd let the milk go). YOU CAN DO IT! And no, my milk is NOT nutritionally deficient even while running 80-90 mile weeks. Anders is growing healthy, fast, and tall even when he was only eating breastmilk. I swear I was creating power milk, no lie.
Happy Breastfeeding Ladies!

My father had lived in a busy city (not Hiroshima). After the surrender, he returned to find the whole city bombed flat, nothing but rubble, no way to find your bearings except by following the line of hills. This really hit him as the view of the hills had formerly been obscured by what were then high rise buildings. Suddenly, all the building were gone. He hitched a ride on someone's bicycle and the two of them ventured into the eerie landscape. Every now and then there would be a dull thud – the sound of buried bodies exploding from the gas emitted by decay.
So I really didn't know how I was going to cope with John Adams' Dr Atomic. Would I stand up and cry "murderers "? Adams is concerned with the dilemmas faced by the scientists at Los Alamos who worked on the bomb, denying even to themselves where their research might lead. They live in a vacuum far removed from reality. True, they didn't make political decisions, but what they did gave politicians power. Recent studies indicate that the real purpose of the bomb was to scare Stalin. Japanese civilians were "collateral damage".
But Dr Atomic the opera is compelling. The scientists theorize, imagining the dangers to themselves. It's angst, even if it's more existential than actually being in the blast and living with the aftermath. Indeed, if images of the devastation are inescapably seared into your memory, it's even more haunting because you "know" what they're trying to avoid. This is a seriously good opera. Go, especially as there are £20 offers on tickets at the moment.

What's the plan for Lacoochee Elementary School?
It's been just over a week since Pasco school district officials announced that all instructional staff at Lacoochee Elementary School would be dismissed and must reapply if they want to remain on the faculty.
The district's move came as it projected that Lacoochee would earn a third consecutive D grade, based on FCAT results, and it had to present a turnaround plan to the Florida Department of Education. District officials called the turnaround model they're proposing the least painful option among five choices, which also included closing the school and converting it to charter status.
After weeks spent discussing the model with the FLDOE, the district submitted its plan on April 30. Some district staff members have said they've never seen the plan that could affect their lives. You can read the plan here. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe issued a warning Monday to health minister Hakuo Yanagisawa about his "inappropriate remark" comparing women to "child-bearing machines," while female lawmakers in the opposition camp urged him to step down over the statement.
Yanagisawa made the remark in a speech Saturday on the declining birthrate and the social welfare and pension system.
"I believe (Yanagisawa's) statement was inappropriate and warned the minister to ensure that there are no misunderstandings in the future," Abe said during a plenary session of the Lower House.
"Giving birth and raising children is a noble occupation and the love that the mother has for her child is irreplaceable," the prime minister said. "Together with the public, I would like reconfirm the magnificence of family and of housework."
At the same time, Abe appeared to defend Yanagisawa when he told reporters that he wants the minister to do his best in his current duty.
Asked if anyone who made such a remark is qualified as health minister, Abe said, "I heard he said he didn't mean it. I wouldn't appoint someone to the Cabinet if he meant such a thing."
Opposition parties claimed Yanagisawa is not qualified to be the minister in charge of reversing the decline in the country's birthrate.
"Women are not machines to give birth to children," said Mizuho Fukushima, leader of the small opposition Social Democratic Party. "(Yanagisawa's) statement is horrible and unforgivable."
All 28 female Diet members of the Democratic Party of Japan, the Japanese Communist Party and the SDP handed a letter to Yanagisawa urging him to resign.
Fukushima added that the opposition lawmakers contacted most of the female Diet members of the ruling bloc of the Liberal Democratic Party and New Komeito, but they refused to sign the letter.
Amid the outcry, Yanagisawa apologized Monday and told reporters: "I used that expression to make it easier to explain about population projections. It was really inappropriate."
However, Yanagisawa said he has no intention to resign as health, labor and welfare minister.
The timing of the furor was unfortunate for the government, which said Monday it will set up a new council to discuss ways to ease the graying of society, which is expected to intensify after 2030.
The council, chaired by Shiozaki and consisting of eight other ministers, including Yanagisawa, and seven experts, will hold its first meeting in early February and make a report in June. The top government spokesman said it is hoped Yanagisawa will do his best as a key member of the new panel.
In his speech Saturday in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, Yanagisawa, 71, said: "The number of women aged between 15 and 50 is fixed. Because the number of child-bearing machines and devices is fixed, all we can ask for is for them to do their best per head."
Later in the speech, he said it may have not been appropriate to call women machines. The fertility rate, or the average number of children a women delivers in a lifetime, fell to record low 1.26 in 2005. According to experts, factors aggravating the situation include employment insecurity, long working hours and poor public aid for child-rearing.
The fertility rate hit a high of 4.54 in 1947 but has fallen below the key threshold of 2.00 since 1975 and has stayed in a downtrend. It has marked a new low every year since 2001 and the population declined in 2005 for the first time on record. Population data have been kept since 1899.

TAMPA — It's doubtful that anyone involved with Opera Tampa ever thought that developing a large local audience for grand opera would be done quickly.
Now in its 16th season, Opera Tampa continues to make strides, but isn't there yet. Its current, excellent production of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata didn't sell out on opening night, and tickets are still available for today's matinee.
It deserves to be seen by many more people. La Traviata is one of the world's most popular operas, with at least one song — the boisterous drinking song in Act I — that's ingrained in our collective cultural subconscious. Its story of tragic love is brisk but poignant, and the two central characters are flawed but appealing.
The Opera Tampa production, directed by Eric Dillner, is bright and buoyant. It features excellent singing in the lead roles and a stunning performance of Verdi's relentlessly beautiful music by the Opera Tampa Orchestra, conducted by Anton Coppola.
The opening-night audience was about three-quarters of Morsani Hall's capacity. That's more than respectable, but with only two performances of a lovely production of a popular opera (the third most often produced worldwide, behind Carmen and Madame Butterfly) one might hope for a sold-out house.
The story concerns Violetta, a courtesan in 19th century Paris, who gives up her life of transitory pleasure for a chance at enduring love with Alfredo, a young man with whom she has become smitten from afar.
They live together in apparent bliss for some months outside of the city, until Alfredo's father visits Violetta and demands that she immediately end the relationship. Her reputation is harming his family, he says, especially Alfredo's young sister, who is about to be married. He convinces Violetta that leaving would be best for Alfredo.
Alfredo, though, is furious and assumes he's been dumped for another man. By the time he finds out the truth and seeks out Violetta to reconcile, she is ill and almost literally on her deathbed.
Opera Tampa veteran Elizabeth de Trejo (Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor and Juliette in Romeo et Juliette) and newcomer Ryan MacPherson deliver precise and heart-rending performances as the young lovers. Jeffery Mattsey, as Alfredo's father, isn't quite as charismatic but wields an impressively powerful baritone.
Lighting designer Mike Riggs adds beautiful and evocative touches throughout, and the costumes supplied by Utah Opera are opulent and colorful.
The sets are individually impressive. The four interiors are opulent and expansive. But the basic framework for all four sets is identical, and by the end of the performance, one could wish for a bit more visual variety. And someone who really wanted to quibble might point out that de Trejo and MacPherson look too old for their roles.
But those are minor flaws that an audience will easily and gladly overlook. Opera Tampa's La Traviata is a marvelous production that ought to appeal to both connoisseurs and neophytes.

About St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current | View This Issue
MfMorical BotUty
An Ingenious Explanation
I mil not much of n innii to piny
curds. It seems to me pretty
much o u waste of time. If 1
have nny leisure time I would
rather talk to people or rend a
good book. The other dny I saw
a very dignified old gentlcnum
playing a game of solitaire. Wo
fell into a talk and the subject of
cards came up. He told me that
the origin of cards was lost in
the mists of antiquity, and then
he told me something about his
deck of cards that was new to
me. Shuffling the cards through,
he threw down an ace and said:
"Mack in the old days when bluo
lews were in force and when n
man was arrested and put into
jail for kissing his wife on Sun
day, it was considered almost as
bad to own a deck of cards as to
indulge in horscracing or in
throwing stones at your grand
mother. One day a sailor was ar
rested for playing solitaire on the
Sabath. He demanded a trial
and whet asked what he had to
say for himself, he said, 'It is
true that I use these cards for
playing on week days, but on (ho
Sabbath they are my Bible. I
was reading them when I was ar
rested.' Before committing him
for sacrilege, contempt- of court
and various other things, the
judge asked him to explain what
ho meant. He said, as he laid
down the ace, just as I have,
'When 1 see the nee, it reminds
me that there is but one God.
The deuce brings to my .mind tlio
Father and Son, while the tre is
a reminder of Father, Son and
the Holy Ghost. The
spot makes me think of Mtthew,
Mark, Luke and John, the four
evangelists. When 1 come to the
five-spot I am reminded of the
five wise virgins, and the fus
spot brings to my mind the six
days in which God made the
heavens and tho earth and all
in them is. Here is the seven
spot, which represents the sev
enth day, the Holy Sabbath, on
which God, rested from his la
bors. When I lay down the
eight-spot, I think of the eight
righteous people wived from the
flood, Noah, with his wife and
their three sons ami their wives.
The nine-spot tolls mo of tho
nine lepers who were healed.
The big casino reminds mo of tho
Ten Commandments, which I try
to make tho rule of life. When
I lay down tho king, I think of
the King of Heaven, who rules
over all, while the queen brings
to my mind the Queen of Shcbn,
who came to see Solomon,thc son
of David. The jack makes me
think of the fallen angel who re
belled and was cast headlong in
to outer darkness. When 1 see
the four suites tho henrt, dm
fnond. club and spude I am re
minded of the four weeks in the
month. The HI tricks in a deck
of cards stand for the 13 weeks
in each quarter of the ycar.while
tho 12 picture cards represent the
12 months of the year. There are
o2 cards in the deck, which
stand for the 52 weeks in the
year, and if you will count tho
spots on the cards assigning 11,
12 and 13 to the face cards, and
counting the joker as ace, you
will find thero are 305 spots,
which stand for the 3G5 days in
the year; so you eo, judge, tho
deck of cards is my Bible and my
calendar, and when 1 was arrest
ed I was engaged in profound de
liberation and study.' Whether
the judge excused tho prisoner or
not 1 do not know, but if ho did
not lie should have. Fred Lock
ley in Oregon Journal.
Taxpayers are reminded that
income tax returns for the year
1021 must reach the olllee of
Clyde G Huntley, Collector- of
internal Revenue, not later than
midnight March 15 in order to
esi ape severe penalties.' This
docs not mean that it will be suf
ficient for tho taxpayer to mail
his return oil March 15. Tho
return must bo mailed at a time
that will insure its dlivery in
the oflice of the collector 'at
Portland not later than midnight
March 15. Furthermore, tho re
ceiving stamp on tho euvclopo
will be accepted by the collector
as the actual time of delivery.
Taxpayers are especially urged
to bear in mind this fact: It in
not sufficient that their returns
lie mailed on March 15. Returns
must be mailed so ns to reach
the collector's oflice in Portland
not later than , midnight March
15, which is ho final date for

A rural editor when asked to
parse the word "kiss" proceed
ed thus: Kiss is a conjunction
1 because it connects. It is a verb
both active and passive, because
it signifies to act aud be acted
i upon. It is a preposition because
it shows that the person kissed
is no relation. It is an interjec
tion (at least it sounds like one),
and it is a pronoun because she
always stands for u kiss. It is a
noun because it is a name for os
cillatory action; both common
aud proper; second person, nec
essarily; plural because there is
always more than one; masculine
aud feminine gendur, mixed; fre
quently the ease being governed
by circumstances and according
to rule 1: "If hojSiuite yon on
one cheek turn the other for an
other smite." It should always
begin with a capital letter, be of
ten repeated, continued as long
as possible aud ended with a pe
riod. Kiss may be conjugated,
but declined never. Hx.

I was a little young then, but there's clips of that game on youtube and all I can say is...what a game!

I watched Jim in the Miracle Bowl stun the SMU team with his heroic pass to Clay Brown when half of the stadium crowd had exited. Those of us who stuck it out to the end were more than well rewarded. If BYU had been as big a name back then as they are now, Doug Flutie's hail mary would not have had gotten all the press instead of Jim's. And the thing is, Jim's was not just one long hail mary, he had to orchestrate three end-of-game drives! One colorful young athlete, to say the least!

Although Vattenfall faces regulatory risk in its markets, it remains committed to its relatively carbon intensive German lignite power generation, the utility's CEO Oysein Loseth said during an analyst call on Tuesday.
The company's rising lignite-fired power generation in Germany over the recent years has come under criticism by some politicians as it runs counter to the country's goal of reducing carbon emissions.
There was currently "no mandate" by the owner of the utility, the Swedish government, to sell its German assets, Loseth said during an analyst call on Tuesday. Last year, Vattenfall split its business in a Nordic and a combined continental and UK division aiming to share risk ( see EDEM 5 December 2013 ).
Loseth said that despite political will to reduce emissions there was also the "physical reality" that conventional power plants, including lignite, would be needed as back-up for intermittent renewable power generation in the foreseeable future.
On Monday, Vattenfall received a boost for its German lignite mining operation from a state expert committee in Brandenburg which voted in favour of starting to mine more lignite in the region in the middle of the next decade.
In the current low wholesale energy price environment, the profitability of Vattenfall's German lignite plants is likely to hold up better than hard coal or natural gas fired power plants.
Vattenfall's earnings before interest, tax and depreciation in its continental and UK generation division increased 22% year on year to 4.3bn (€473m) in contrast to the 15% year on year drop to SEK 3.3bn in its Nordic generation division. The continental/UK generation is mainly made up by thermal power plants (including lignite) whereas hydro power dominates its Nordic generation business.
The result was up despite a mild winter in the Nordics and mainland Europe capping electricity generation and profit margins for utilities in Q1.
Vattenfall's electricity generation decreased to 50.1TWh compared to 52.2TWh in Q1 '13. "On account of warm weather, our revenues fell as a result of lower electricity prices and lower sales of heat and gas, although this was largely compensated by forward hedges," said Oystein Loseth, president and CEO of Vattenfall.
