Verizon 4G LTE: Two Datacards and a WiFi Hotspot Massively Reviewedby Brian Klug on April 27, 2011 12:11 AM EST

More SCH-LC11
So this brings me to my other chief complaint about the SCH-LC11. Even when connected to the beefiest of chargers, I found that the hotspot actually discharges faster than it can charge when it's connected to 4G LTE and actively serving clients with data. Remember that the USB charger that the hotspot ships with is 0.7A, 5V (3.5W). I tried the beefy 10W iPad charger, my similarly beefy 10W car charger, and a more generic 5W USB charger, and all failed to keep the SCH-LC11 from discharging while plugged in and transacting data. That's positively mind-blowing to me.
For a while now, I've been secretly (well, not really secretly) running a fourth test on phones and wireless devices to measure WiFi hotspot battery life. Historically, WiFi tethering has been brutal on battery life, and I devised a test that I think is reasonably representative. For this test, I have two tabs of our standard page load test, and another two with flash, for a total of four tabs loading through a few dozen pages every 10 seconds. In addition, I have a 128kbps MP3 audio stream from smoothbeats.com playing in the background to keep data active constantly. There's just one wireless client with a 802.11n WiFi card connected, though all this traffic reasonably approximates a few wireless clients all transacting data.
My initial battery life test results for the SCH-LC11 were actually thrown off because I expected it to have fully charged the device while I was using it and plugged in. About a half hour of use, and I was down to 82 percent in spite of being plugged in. I've seen the SCH-LC11 also discharge on EVDO, though it doesn't happen nearly as rapidly as it does on LTE. I didn't do enough testing to find out whether the device will eventually settle on some equilibrium, or discharge all the way to 0, which could make things frustrating if you intend on using the SCH-LC11 as your primary connection. Again I'm just confused as to why both the default charger is so small at 0.7A and why the device doesn't fully follow the USB charging spec and draw more current from my other 10W USB chargers.
Under power is the ability to set different auto power off timeouts, and a much appreciated "never" setting. I've put together a full gallery of the configuration pages for the SCH-LC11.
SCH-LC11 Disassembled
I did decide to open up the SCH-LC11 as well, to see what WiFi chipset and device architecture is behind the web interface. Construction of the SCH-LC11 lends itself to easy disassembly, with no void stickers atop screws. Just four screws and some easy plastic tabs, and the thing comes open.
There's a bottom plastic ring that has an antenna flex cable for WiFi and two gold pads. That antenna runs some length down the side of the device.
There's one monolthic PCB that spans the entire device and immediately makes it pretty apparent why the Samsung hotspot is larger than the older MiFi which packed the PCB alongside the battery. There's a modular antenna assembly that snaps onto the PCB and two gold contacts. Again two antennas are required for celluar right now thanks to the MIMO requirement in LTE. The EMI cans on the top and bottom of the board are super easy to remove and just snap on or off.
Inspecting the PCB we can see at the very center the Qualcomm MDM9600 which runs the show. Top left is a Qualcomm PM8028 PMIC which does power management and status LED control. Left of it is the hotspot's internal configuration reset switch, and to the right is microUSB. To the right of the MDM9600 is a Qualcomm RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver for LTE bands, and down below it sits an Avago ACFM-7107 quadplexer.
Finally at the other side of the board is the SCH-LC11's WiFi chipset, the Qualcomm WCN1312, which provides 802.11b/g/n support on the 2.4GHz band.
Finally on the reverse side of the board is a 1Gb (128MB) NAND for the MDM9600. There's more shots of everything in the gallery.
The Samsung SCH-LC11 is almost entirely Qualcomm design wins. I'm a bit surprised that the MDM9600 can drive the entire device management config and network routing without use of an external application processor, since I was under the impression that support for device manufacturers to use the onboard ARM core would only come in the next refresh of Qualcomm's MDM lineup with MDM9615 and MDM8615. There is a marking difference however betwteen the markings on the MDM9600 inside the USB551L datacard and the SCH-LC11; the former is marked A2W126.0, the latter A2W206.0, which looks something like a hardware version system. Perhaps support for using the ARM processor came later and Samsung leverages that. Either way, to me it's impressive that NAT routing and firewall rules are being handled at speeds sometimes over 20Mbps with no dedicated application processor.
Network performance on the SCH-LC11 is on par with other LTE gear overall, though a bit slower as I'll show in the next section. Where the device really shines however is stability. I've found that both of the USB modems intermittently disconnect and sometimes require an unplug, replug, and search for device to regain connectivity. The SCH-LC11 consistently clung to 4G LTE everywhere I tested while in the 4G market, and clients were essentially always able to transact data. Samsung has done a nice job abstracting the sometimes erratic modem connectivity that happens during handover away in the device.

Lord 666 - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkThe attention to detail is appreciated along with the scope of products tested.
Completely agreed about the speed and performance numbers as I have all three; the SCH-LC11 was the best balance, followed by Thunderbolt, and then the Pantec 290 (fastest but limited to USB connection). Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkI live in an LTE market and would be happy to accept some LTE devices if you don't want to be driving to Phoenix ;)
For that matter I also have a Droid X with the stock 2.2 build.
Playing with a Thunderbolt at a Verizon store the data speeds are really quick. Will be interesting to see how much they drop off though with more users. Reply
Penti - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkThey use 20MHz in 2.6GHz here in Sweden (few cities so far) so you can actually see speeds up to about 80 Mbits here, LTE-Adv on 800MHz is in the works of being deployed here now, but they will be using 10MHz spectrum. I'm guessing people in major cities will see 20-80Mbits and people in areas only covered by 800MHz will see 10-40Mbits. Latency is where it clearly matters though. Though 50 Mbits on 2x10MHz 700MHz is clearly at the top. It's not often you will see much of high speeds any way.
To bad they pretty much price themselves out of the market though. A 16Mbit Turbo3G connection is less then half of what 4G costs here. For limitless traffic at least. Reply

mars2k - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkNot good, I need USB tethering. This is a deal breaker for me. I need outside access in several places where wi fi is not allowed. Reply
Lord 666 - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkBrian,
Currently have an open ticket with VZW about the lack of public addresses. Have several LTE cards used with cradlepoints that are used for DMVPN backup connections and need public addresses. In testing, would randomly get nat'd address bring up a complete tunnel, but it was very rare. All of the IPs issued were 10.xxx in NYC.
Was told static public IPs will be available around May. Reply
nerdydesi - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkI'm curious on what you meant by this.
"Note that the Thunderbolt is a 2x1 device while the others are 2x2, which explains some of the upstream throughput distribution difference"
Do you mean that the other devices have more antennas than the Thunderbolt and thus why their speeds seemed to be faster than the Thunderbolt? Regarding the phone and its "unlimited data", I used 30gb in my last billing cycle and so far 70gb now with no peep from Verizon. It could also be that I'm currently a VZW employee. I hope that because I bought the phone, I can be grandfathered into the plan.
Also as a note, if you take the sim card from the Thunderbolt with its full voice and data plan and put that into a mifi or USB modem, you get the unlimited data as well. Just keep in mind you pay more per month due to having the voice along with it (which is useless on the modem devices), but still better than the current 5gb and 10gb caps. If you do vice versa, take the card from a modem to an LTE phone, you are charged for each minute of voice and each text unless you change your plan. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - link" AT&T on the other hand has a sprinkling of lower block B and C licenses that are both 12MHz. AT&T also purchased Qualcomm's licenses to blocks D and E, which are both 6MHz unpaired, though it's not entirely clear how AT&T will integrate both blocks of unpaired spectrum. All total that gives AT&T between 24 and 36MHz of 700MHz spectrum, again depending on market."
Since the only blocks that they own nationwide are the 6mhz D and E blocks shouldn't it be 12 to 36mhz of spectrum. Looking at auction maps it appears there're fairly large areas where ATT didn't win the A or the B blocks.
http://www.cellularmaps.com/700_auction.shtml Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, April 28, 2011 - linkThat's a good point. If they can manage to either TDD or FDD both of those it should be 12 to 36. Just don't forget about the lower C block which was involved prior to this latest auction, that's the 24 that I'm thinking of.
With 12 MHz of spectrum they can run 5 MHz FDD channels which really won't be much faster than current WCDMA systems. I guess that's why I mentally discounted it.

Lothsahn - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - linkI notice that with my Sprint aircard, I maintain the 3G connection even during extended trips across the nation. However, the 4G connection on the same aircard appears to be unable to handoff and loses its connection while traveling constantly. I find that my connection disconnects every 2-3 minutes when actually moving. However, if I'm stationary in a building, it'll maintain the connection for hours.
What results did you have with LTE for these sorts of usage scenarios? Reply

text: Herd hangs on for 70-67 win over Morehead State By Doug Smock November 28, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp Marshall's Chris Martin drives to the basket on Morehead State's Milton Chavis (24) and Bruce Reed. HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Fans may have left Cam Henderson Center holding their noses after 40 minutes of dreadfully ugly basketball Wednesday night, but Tom Herrion was grinning about his Marshall team's 70-67 win over Morehead State."I'm thrilled with this win. I love grinders," said the third-year Thundering Herd coach.Oh, this was a grinder all right. The Herd prevailed against what might be the hardest-hitting athletic team on the Morehead campus, or at least the most frequent-hitting.And yes, the school still sponsors baseball and non-scholarship football.Marshall won this game in part with ... wait for it ... free-throw shooting. Not that it was particularly great, 63.6 percent, but there was so much of it. The Herd took 44 foul shots, hitting 28, to Morehead's 8 of 16.Under first-year coach Sean Woods, the Eagles entered the game with 59 more fouls than their six opponents and added 15 more to that margin. Their end-of-game foulfest padded the final count of 32, yes, but the Eagles weren't afraid to knock somebody around.It was a good thing Marshall has no-called-foul periods in practice."[Herrion] said they'd foul a lot, you could see that," said the Herd's DeAndre Kane. "They foul so much that [officials] call some of them, but they can't call all of them because they foul on darn near every possession."The Eagles had their first player with two fouls just 1:30 into the game. They only fouled out one player but had four others finish with four fouls and two more with three.In the second half, Marshall was in the double bonus with 10:21 left, and shot 17 of 25 from the line thereafter.Woods noted the discrepancy in those foul shots, adding, "A lot of that came because we did give up some offensive rebounds, and when you give up an offensive rebound nothing good comes out of that."Dennis Tinnon did the most damage on the glass, hauling down 16 rebounds to go with his 12 points. He had six of those on offensive end, part of Marshall's 24. Nigel Spikes had nine rebounds to go with his 13 points and Kane had eight boards to go with his 13 points.That didn't translate into instant offense, however. The Herd had overcome a 21-14 deficit in a first half in which is shot 26.5 percent. It had to overcome 17 pressure-induced turnovers, including one that gave the Eagles a chance to tie the game with 3 seconds left. (Bakari Turner's 3 from the corner came up woefully short, however.)D.D. Scarver was the biggest beneficiary of the parading to the line, making all 10 attempts in the final 1:17 to finish with 17 points. He foiled the Eagles' late-game strategy of getting the slumping Kane to the line, where he did break a nine-miss streak before faltering again.But you can't foul Kane when he throws the inbounds pass, and definitely not when he finds Scarver with those tosses. Scarver, a junior-college transfer, is now 21 of 24 for the season from the line. "What you want to do is deny Scarver the ball, first of all," Woods said. "His quick self, he made a way to go get it. He was tough enough to go get a ball, and his team needed that." Marshall was tough enough to turn that 21-14 deficit into a 24-23 halftime lead. It took the lead for good when Kane knocked the ball loose from Milton Chavis, Scarver picked it up and tossed it back to Kane, who set up Elijah Pittman for a soft dunk and a 34-32 lead.That grew to 59-52 on the play of a night, Kane's fake behind-the-back pass and layup with 3:17 left. The largest lead was 63-55 with 1:02 left, a margin large enough to withstand 3-pointers by Jarrett Stokes and Maurice Lewis-Briggs.Kane had seven assists, easing the pain of a 5-of-20 night shooting, and Scarver also struggled at 2 of 10. Tinnon and Spikes counteracted with a combined 9-of-16 outing.Stokes led the Eagles with 14 points, followed by Chavis with 11. The latter shot 4 of 14 from the field, one of Marshall's top defensive achievements. The Herd also forced 15 turnovers, turning those into 17 points."We hung our hat tonight on defense," Herrion said. "I really feel good about tonight. You can win when you defend and rebound. Offense is fickle, we found that out tonight."

PALM HARBOR — Sarasota Riverview's Sean Labsan brought Palm Harbor University's season to an abrupt end Tuesday. Not only did Labsan hit the first grand slam of his life, he threw a no-hitter to single-handedly help the Rams to a 10-0 win in the Class 8A, District 8 semifinal.
Riverview (10-14) will play East Lake for the district championship at 6 p.m. Thursday at Riverview. The Eagles defeated North Port 8-3.
"It was a pretty good day," said Labsan, who lost the first time he faced PHU this season. "I've never hit a grand slam before. And I was just trying to keep throwing strikes. There were some times where I had to settle down because I was overthrowing."
While Labsan was unhittable, he and his teammates were busy getting hits at the plate. The Rams scored two runs in the first inning when Labsan doubled home two runners. PHU starter Brent Horton settled down and got out of the inning.
But Labsan struck again in the third. With the bases loaded, Labsan sent Horton's first pitch over the right-centerfield fence to make it 7-0.
That put the game out of reach for PHU. The only drama was whether Laban would get the no-hitter. The closest call came in the fourth inning when Jordan Pendleton hit a grounder to the shortstop. The ball was clearly bobbled and ruled an error.
Otherwise, PHU's bats were pretty silent. Labsan struck out seven, five of those looking.
"Their great player played a great game," PHU coach Joel Slawinski said. "Our guys battled to the end. I'm proud of the way our kids never gave up. They've played that way all season."
6A-10: Spongers' bats lively in shutout
NEW PORT RICHEY — Tarpon Springs ace Michael Dunnigan wasn't going to take Sunlake for granted.
The senior watched the Seahawks upset River Ridge 1-0 Monday and he wasn't going allow anything to stop the Spongers from making consecutive regional appearances.
But Dunnigan didn't have to do it by himself. The Tarpon bats exploded Tuesday, earning 13 hits while defeating Sunlake 13-0 in five innings to advance to the Class 6A, District 10 final.
"I didn't think we were going to put up 13 runs because (Sunlake) played so tough defensively last night (against River Ridge)," Dunnigan said, who is 8-1. "I just wanted to come out here and shut them down if we got a couple of runs."
Dunnigan finished with six strikeouts on 35 pitches. Tarpon coach Dickie Hart pulled him after the third to potentially use Dunnigan in the title game.
Tarpon (22-4) did most of its damage to Sunlake (10-16) in the second inning, sending 10 up to bat with seven crossing the plate. David Miklavcic blasted a two-run double followed by a two-run home run to leftfield by Anthony Bariso.
"Our pitching has been consistent all year and we've been swinging the ball really well the last two-thirds of the year," Hart said. "We're playing good baseball right now."
Class 2A, District 9: Canterbury got only six hits but still managed to beat Keswick Christian 8-3 in a semifinal game at Canterbury. The Crusaders will play Sarasota Christian, which beat Manatee HEAT 18-6 in the other semifinal game, in the district final. Harrison Hall had two hits to lead Canterbury. "We're happy to be moving on, but we didn't play all that well," Canterbury coach Dave Smith said.
Class 3A, District 9: Shorecrest's Marc Brakeman had a no-hitter against Calvary Christian with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. But Nate Reed spoiled the no-hitter, and the game, for the Chargers with an RBI single that scored Matt Piatt for a 2-1 walkoff win. The Warriors scored a run in the first without getting a hit. Calvary Christian's Zach Wolfe allowed five hits to get the win. Shorecrest, which advanced to the third round of the postseason last year, is out of the playoffs. Calvary Christian will play Indian Rocks Christian at 4 p.m. today in the semifinals.
HomeTeam Hotshots
A look at some of the top performers from Tuesday night.
Robby Coursel, Northeast: In the biggest game of the season , Coursel threw a three-hitter to help beat Pinellas Park 4-0 and keep regional hopes alive. He struck out nine and had a hit and two RBIs.
Brody Ryan, Indian Rocks Christian: The junior pitcher threw 61/3 innings and scattered five hits in a 2-1 win over Clearwater Central Catholic. He also had a double.
By the numbers
1 Times Indian Rocks Christian has beaten Clearwater Central Catholic in baseball, after Tuesday night's 2-1 win. Not only did Brody Ryan have a big night, but Brad Miller got a save and hit a home run, his first of the season. Austin Corrao had two doubles and stole home in the second inning for what turned out to the be the winning run.

v1 v2 1 = The {{{ !Name}}} and {{{!OccName}}} types = 1 = The {{{OccName}}} types = 2 2 3 3 Every entity (type constructor, class, identifier, type variable) has a {{{Name}}}. The Name type is pervasive in GHC, and is defined in [[GhcFile(compiler/basicTypes/Name.lhs)]]. Here is what a {{{Name}}} looks like, though it is private to the Name module: … … 15 15 * The {{{n_loc}}} field gives some indication of where the name was bound. 16 16 17 == The NameSortof a Name == 17 == The of a Name == 18 18 19 19 There are four flavours of Name: … … 34 34 -- OccName is very uninformative (like 's') 35 35 }}} 36 Here are the sorts of Name an entity can have: 37 36 38 Class, TyCon:: External. 39 Id:: External, Internal, or System. 40 TyVar:: Internal, or System. 37 {{{Internal}}}, {{{System}}}:: 38 An {{{Internal}}} {{{Name}}} has only an occurrence name. Distinct {{{Internal}}} {{{Names}}} may have the same occurrence name; the {{{n_uniq}}} distinguishes them. 41 39 42 An External name has a globally-unique (module name, occurrence name) pair, namely the original name of the entity, describing where the thing was originally defined. So for example, if we have 40 There is only a tiny difference between {{{Internal}}} and {{{System}}}; the former simply remembers that the name was originally written by the programmer, which helps when generating error messages. 41 42 {{{External}}}:: 43 An {{{External}}} {{{Name}}} has a globally-unique (module, occurrence name) pair, namely the original name of the entity, that describes where the thing was originally defined. So for example, if we have 43 44 {{{ 44 45 module M where … … 51 52 a = Q.f + g 52 53 }}} 53 then the RdrNames for "a", "Q.f" and "g" get replaced (by the Renamer) by the Names "A.a", "M.f", and "M.g" respectively. 54 then in module {{{A}}}}, the function {{{Q.f}}} has an External Name {{{M.f}}}. 54 55 55 An InternalName has only an occurrence name. Distinct InternalNames may have the same occurrence name; use the Unique to distinguish them. 56 During any invocation of GHC, each (module, occurrence-name) gets one, and only one, {{{Unique}}}, stored in the {{{n_uniq}}}} field of the {{{Name}}}. This assoication remains fixed even when GHC finishes one module and starts to compile another. This association between (module, occurrence-name) pairs and the corresponding {{{Name}}} (with its {{{n_uniq}}} field) is maintained by the !Name !Cache. 56 57 57 An ExternalName has a unique that never changes. It is never cloned. This is important, because the simplifier invents new names pretty freely, but we don't want to lose the connnection with the type environment (constructed earlier). An InternalName name can be cloned freely. 58 Before CoreTidy: the Ids that were defined at top level in the original source program get ExternalNames, whereas extra top-level bindings generated (say) by the type checker get InternalNames. q This distinction is occasionally useful for filtering diagnostic output; e.g. for -ddump-types. 59 After CoreTidy: An Id with an ExternalName will generate symbols that appear as external symbols in the object file. An Id with an InternalName cannot be referenced from outside the module, and so generates a local symbol in the object file. The CoreTidy pass makes the decision about which names should be External and which Internal. 60 A System name is for the most part the same as an Internal. Indeed, the differences are purely cosmetic: 61 Internal names usually come from some name the user wrote, whereas a System name has an OccName like "a", or "t". Usually there are masses of System names with the same OccName but different uniques, whereas typically there are only a handful of distince Internal names with the same OccName. 62 Another difference is that when unifying the type checker tries to unify away type variables with System names, leaving ones with Internal names (to improve error messages). 63 Occurrence names: OccName 64 An OccName is more-or-less just a string, like "foo" or "Tree", giving the (unqualified) name of an entity. 58 {{{WiredIn}}}:: 59 A {{{WiredIn}}} {{{Name}}} is a special sort of {{{External}}} {{{Name}}}, one that is completely known to the compiler (e.g. the {{{Bool}}} type constructor). In this case the {{{Name}}} contains the {{{TyThing}}} that it is bound to; no need for lookups here! 65 60 66 Well, not quite just a string, because in Haskell a name like "C" could mean a type constructor or data constructor, depending on context. So GHC defines a type OccName (defined in basicTypes/OccName.lhs) that is a pair of a FastString and a NameSpace indicating which name space the name is drawn from: 61 The {{{BuiltInSyntax}}} field is just a boolean yes/no flag that identifies entities that are denoted by built-in syntax, such as {{{[]}}} for the empty list. These {{{Names}}} aren't "in scope" as such, and we occasionally need to know that. 67 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 68 81 data OccName = OccName NameSpace EncodedFS 69 The EncodedFS is a synonym for FastString indicating that the string is Z-encoded. (Details in OccName.lhs.) Z-encoding encodes funny characters like '%' and '$' into alphabetic characters, like "zp" and "zd", so that they can be used in object-file symbol tables without confusing linkers and suchlike. 82 }}} 83 The {{{EncodedFS}}} is a synonym for {{{FastString}}} indicating that the string is Z-encoded. (Details in [[GhcFile(compiler/basicTypes/OccName.lhs)]].) Z-encoding encodes funny characters like '%' and '$' into alphabetic characters, like "zp" and "zd", so that they can be used in object-file symbol tables without confusing linkers and suchlike. 70 84 71 85 The name spaces are: 72 86 73 VarName: ordinary variables 74 TvName: type variables 75 DataName: data constructors 76 TcClsName: type constructors and classes (in Haskell they share a name space) 77 Last modified: Wed May 4 14:57:55 EST 2005 87 {{{ 88 data NameSpace = VarName -- Variables, including "source" data constructors 89 | DataName -- "Real" data constructors 90 | TvName -- Type variables 91 | TcClsName -- Type constructors and classes; Haskell has them 92 -- in the same name space for now. 93 }}} 94

SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- An award-filled season for Saint Mary's women's tennis player Jenny Jullien continued on Tuesday as she was named West Coast Conference Singles Player of the Month for the third consecutive month.
The native of Perpignan, France went 6-2 in March, ascending to a Saint Mary's-best No. 17 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national rankings. Both losses came to players ranked in the top 100, and Jullien bolstered her record by earning wins over three ranked players.
Jullien also continued her strong play in WCC competition, winning all three of her conference matches in March in straight sets.
On the season, Jullien has eight wins over ranked opponents, including wins over two players ranked in the top 10. She is 5-1 in WCC play.
With a record of 14-5 this spring, Jullien will be on the court again this week as the Gaels wrap up their regular season with two tough conference matches. They'll host Pepperdine on Friday at 12:30 p.m., then Loyola Marymount visits on Sunday for an 11 a.m. match.

We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited–nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
Our kids are taking off!
By kindergarten, our kids are testing ahead of their peers. Read all about it.
Many of our child care centers are accredited by national organizations that require us to meet rigorous early childhood education standards and guidelines for high-quality care and education. Programs that are accredited have demonstrated their commitment to go beyond the state's minimum licensing requirements to meet and maintain these high standards of quality.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Private Kindergarten Programs (5 – 6 Years)
As children reach school age, our comprehensive full-day kindergarten program helps them explore, communicate, and create – all in a nurturing, small-class setting. Our team of expert educators has created a unique curriculum of reading, language, arts, math, science, and physical fitness that's presented in a fun way to encourage a lifelong love of learning. Plus, our program is aligned with local and state elementary school standards, so children will be prepared to confidently enter first grade.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
The Cooking Adventures program gives children opportunities to participate in fun, developmentally appropriate cooking experiences. They will learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and the importance of a healthy diet. The curriculum includes lessons on picnics, pizza, and heart-healthy meals.
The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers, measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every advantage now will add up to success later in life.
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Teachers & Staff
The teachers and staff at Mountain Park KinderCare are passionate about educating and nurturing children. Our teachers have an average tenure of five years at our center and an average of fifteen years in the early childhood education field. The majority of our teachers have their Childhood Development Associates Credential (CDA), Bachelor's Degree, or Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. The Mountain Park KinderCare team strives for excellence through continuing education from bi-annual company professional development trainings to seeking additional college courses or seminars in the education field. At the end of the day, the true key to our teachers' success is their passion for teaching and their love of learning.

Upcoming Center Activities
Children 6 weeks to 3 years old: Spaces and Places and All About Me
As infants and toddlers explore the spaces and places around them, children in Discovery Preschool will learn all about what makes people the same as well as what makes them different. Infants will experiment with moving toy cars around, build block towers and then knock them down, and even take a tour of the center to see what things are like outside of their classroom! Toddlers will get all revved up as they take a closer look at different vehicles and learn more about neighborhoods, communities, and the jobs that grownups have. In Discovery Preschool, children will be learning about themselves as they play games that strengthen their five senses, discuss feelings and emotions, practice self-help skills, and work on learning the names of body parts.
Children 4 to 5 years old: All About Me and My Home and Family
It's the beginning of the school year—the perfect time to get to know each other better! Older children will be spending time sharing about themselves, their homes, and their families as they learn what makes people the same and what makes them different. Children will bring their own experiences to the drawing board as they create group stories and 3-D collages about families and homes, pantomime different home- and family-related activities, and draw self-portraits. With our curriculum's project-related learning component, children in Transitional Kindergarten work together to decide on an individual or whole-group project related to the theme. Past projects have included creating a class book about emotions or working together to build a small-scale home, but who knows—the children may come up with a unique idea that's entirely their own!

Japan Foundation Announces Free World Concert Tour for March; Dates Set for NYC, LA, China & More
A worldwide series of free concerts has been arranged by The Japan Foundation to convey the Japanese people's gratitude to the global community for their support during the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami.
On Tuesday, March 6 at 7:30 PM, The Japan Foundation will present "Overcoming the Disaster: Gratitude from Japan to the World," at the Rose Theater in New York City.
The show will be performed on March 2 at The Ahmanson Theatre, LA Music Center and will tour to France March 10-11 and China March 14 to 26. The commemoration project has already been performed in Paris, Berlin, Prague and South Africa.
The concert features musicians from Japan of various genres, including artists from Tohoku, the region most greatly impacted by the disaster.
The Japan Foundation is the organizer of this New York concert and the entire worldwide tour. The Japan Foundation writes, "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the global community for their tremendous support....Through this project, we wish to convey a message from the citizens in the affected areas to the international community about how important and encouraging it is for those in difficulty to receive signs of solidarity from the unknown global community. At the same time we wish to show that we also stand by many other disaster victims and refugees around the world, thus sharing a heartfelt prayer for peace among all peoples."
Headliners include Ondekoza, seven players of enormous taiko drums whose performance is a fusion of dance and drumming.
The New York performance will also include local children playing bamboo instruments that will be fashioned in a workshop led by musicians of Ondekoza on Sunday, March 4 at Avenue C Studios on the Lower East Side.
Also headlining will be Wakumizu Kagura, a folk performing arts group from the area stricken by the earthquake and tsunami. Kagura is a Shinto theatrical dance, involving music and vibrant Kabuki-esque theater. Wakumizu Kagura was founded in 1932 by a regional farming community in Iwate prefecture in the Tohoku region in northeastern Japan. Its style incorporates Hayachine Kagura, which is inscribed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List and involves a masked dancer accompanied by taiko drum, gong and flute. To this day, residents gather in shrines to watch and perform these musical dances to pray for safety, an abundant harvest or good health on New Years or following the harvest.
The evening will also include Kazutoki Umezu with brass quartet Umezu Chibi Brass, the Ochi Brothers percussion duo, Sizzle Ohtakam Suguru Ikeda, Yoichi Nozaki, Yumiko Tanaka, and Bamboo Orchestra featuring Kimihiro Kitamura.
The concerts are free but tickets are required. More information and reservations: www.gratitude-concert-march6.org, 646-238-7930

Special Coverage
North American Int'l Auto Show
DETROIT – Ford Motor Co. President and CEO Alan Mulally says the U.S. auto maker is not pursuing partnerships with other auto makers.
"We're not talking to anyone but ourselves," Mulally tells journalists this morning at the North American International Auto show press preview, adding Ford did not consider entering an agreement with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., as Chrysler LLC recently did to build small cars together.
"I think the thing that's really going to bring us success is concentrating on fuel-economy improvements and carbon-dioxide reductions," he says. Ford plans to increase fuel economy across its entire lineup annually, regardless of the size of the vehicle.
"I think the products we bring out now (will be) supportive of what customers want," Mulally says. "We worked hard with government in Europe, U.S., and Asia to have fuel-economy improvements without sacrificing safety."
Remarking on the long-awaited $2,500 Nano small car introduced by Tata Motors Ltd. last week in India, Mulally says it's an interesting prospect and a "very neat innovation."
However, he stops short of suggesting Ford would be interested in develop a similar car for emerging markets.
Meanwhile, Mulally expresses confidence in the success of Ford's new, EcoBoost engine technology, which combines turbocharging with direct injection to deliver improved fuel economy and reduced carbon-dioxide emissions without sacrificing performance.
Mulally tells reporters that Jim Farley, Ford's new marketing and communications chief, recently did a test drive of a 4-cyl. application of EcoBoost and said it beat anything his former employer, Toyota Motor Corp., has in the works.
"Jim said in all the years he's been at Toyota, he's never seen anything that even comes close to our new EcoBoost propulsion system," Mulally says.

Do Expat Pilots Deserve Scrutiny After Mangalore Crash?
The crash of an Air India Express jet in Mangalore has turned a spotlight on the use of foreign pilots in India, with some aviation consultants and media talking heads pointing the finger at expats for accidents and close-shaves in recent years.
Aviation and Air India officials have been quick to point out, however, that the pilot of the Boeing 737-800 in Saturday's accident, a British national of Serbian heritage, was quite experienced. He had 9,000 hours of flying experience and had landed 19 times at Mangalore's Bajpe airport, the company's chairman told reporters Sunday. So it would seem a stretch to suggest that he was somehow unprepared to pull off the hilltop landing.
Nevertheless, the crash of flight IX 812 has provoked debate again on whether India needs foreign pilots in the first place. As of January, there were 562 expats commanding Indian jetliners, according to government data. Kingfisher Airlines had the most with 139, while Jet Airways and Air India had 137 and 136, respectively. There are about 9,800 total licensed commercial pilots in India, though many are only qualified to serve as co-pilots.
Foreign pilots were brought on a few years ago because there weren't enough Indian aviators with the experience to command the new aircraft, including the Boeing 737-800 and the Boeing 777, being inducted into the Indian fleet as the industry expanded.
Some Indian aviators have raised concerns about cultural miscues — language misunderstandings and the like — when an Indian pilot and an expat are working a flight together. But one Air India pilot, an Indian, said such issues are often overblown and were unlikely to have played any role in the crash.
"The confusion that takes place in the cockpit is usually very minor and wouldn't lead to such a catastrophe," the pilot said, requesting anonymity since the airline has a gag on its employees during the post-crash controversy.
The idea was that the foreigners would train Indians to operate the more advanced aircraft over time, but Indian pilots have complained that they aren't being promoted fast enough.
"There isn't a good plan in place to promote the Indian pilots and remove the expats," the Air India pilot said.
The issue of when the expats would be kicked out became more pressing when the industry's breakneck growth fell off in 2008 and early 2009 amid the global downturn, making it harder for Indian pilots to get jobs. Some union officials say that even with the economic rebound in recent months, there are still thousands of Indian pilots out of work.
Airlines have indeed removed several hundred expats in the past few years and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the top airline regulator in India, has ordered airlines to phase out expat pilots entirely by July 31, 2011.
India is also trying hard to improve its training facilities so a new generation of pilots is ready to take command of advanced wide-body jetliners. In response to a question in parliament on May 4, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said that "in order to have sufficient quality of pilots over longer period of time," the government has modernized the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (The Indira Gandhi National Flight Academy) by acquiring more trainer aircraft and upgrading civil and electrical infrastructure. A new flying institute has also been set up in Maharashtra state, he said.

Melvin Hutson (Alfred B. Robinson, Jr.; Thompson, Mann and Hutson, on brief), for appellee.
Before K.K. HALL, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.
In this consolidated appeal and cross-appeal, Sallie Pearl Lewis, et al ("the employees"), the prevailing plaintiffs in a class action alleging racial discrimination in employment by their employer, J.P. Stevens Co., Inc. ("Stevens"), appeal the district court's order allowing only an 8% adjustment in their award of attorneys' fees as compensation for delay in receiving the fee. Stevens cross-appeals, contending that any adjustment for delay was improper and that the district court also erred in awarding an upward fee adjustment for loss of opportunity and the contingent nature of the litigation. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
This case has had a long and convoluted history. It originated in 1972 as a class action brought by various black employees of Stevens' Abbeville, South Carolina, plant. The employees complained of racial discrimination in hiring, job assignments, promotions, recruiting, and layoffs all in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e et seq. After bench trials on various issues in 1975, 1976, and 1977, the district court determined that Stevens had discriminated against black applicants for employment at the Abbeville facility between April, 1968, and November, 1971. Stevens subsequently provided a settlement fund of $250,000, which was apportioned among the members of the plaintiff class pursuant to a consent decree entered in November, 1982.
At this juncture, the parties entered into negotiations regarding the attorneys' fees to which the employees, as prevailing plaintiffs in a Title VII action, were entitled to receive. The employees had been represented by both local South Carolina attorneys and by Washington, D.C., counsel.1 Stevens was able to reach an agreement with South Carolina counsel and a settlement embodying that agreement was approved by the court on April 9, 1984.
Negotiations between Stevens and the employees' Washington counsel did not succeed in setting a final fee amount. The parties were, however, able to stipulate to the number of hours expended by attorneys, law clerks and paralegals, as well as the historic hourly rate of compensation for these individuals. The stipulation thereby produced a "lodestar" figure (the number of hours multiplied by the hourly rate) of $180,663.30. The parties were unable to agree to what adjustments, if any, should be made to the lodestar figure.
On March 27, 1986, the parties again brought their disagreements before the district court. Four issues remained unsettled: (1) whether the lodestar should be reduced, as urged by Stevens, to reflect the limited degree of success achieved by the plaintiffs; (2) whether the fee award based on historic rates should be adjusted upward because of the delay in receipt and the effect of inflation; (3) whether the employees' counsel should receive an adjustment to compensate for the risk of taking a contingent fee case; and finally, (4) whether the employees' counsel should receive an additional fee as compensation for loss of other opportunities while involved with this case.
On April 17, 1986, the district court filed an order concluding that: (1) the degree of success achieved by plaintiffs' counsel did not merit any adjustment in the fee award; (2) the plaintiffs' counsel was entitled to an upward adjustment as compensation for both loss of opportunity and for the risk of receiving no fee if plaintiffs did not prevail; and (3) plaintiffs' counsel should receive an 8% upward adjustment as compensation for the delay in payment. The final award as determined by the district court was as follows:
Lodestar amount $180,663.30 Opportunity cost adjustment 20,000.00 Delay in payment adjustment 16,053.06 ----------- Total fee $216,716.36 Costs and expenses $22,974.73 ----------- TOTAL FEE AND EXPENSES $239,691.09
This appeal and cross-appeal followed.
Both the employees and Stevens object to portions of the district court's order. The employees contend that the adjustment for delay was inadequate. Stevens contends that no delay adjustment should have been made or that in the alternative, the 8% enhancement was within the district court's discretion. Stevens also contends that the adjustment for contingency and loss of opportunity is contrary to the Supreme Court's decision in Pennsylvania v. Delaware Valley Citizens Council for Clean Air, --- U.S. ----, 107 S.Ct. 3078 (1987), and this Court's opinion in Spell v. McDaniel, 824 F.2d 1380 (4th Cir.1987). We address these contentions seriatim.
The statutory right of a prevailing plaintiff in a civil rights action to receive a reasonable attorney's fee was created to ensure "effective access to the judicial process." Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 429 (1983) (quoting H.R.Rep. No. 94-1558, 94th Cong.2d Sess., 1 (1976)). Congress intended that a reasonable fee would "attract competent counsel" without producing "windfalls to attorneys." Blum v. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886 (1984). See also Daly v. Hill, 790 F.2d 1071, 1077 (4th Cir.1986).
The "critical inquiry" in fee setting requires a determination of a reasonable rate of compensation in accordance with the factors articulated in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir.1974)2 and a subsequent multiplication of that rate by the number of hours reasonably expended. This process produces the "lodestar" figure that is presumptively a reasonable fee without further adjustment. Blum, 465 U.S. at 897.
Adjustments in the lodestar are not, however, precluded in all instances. If the litigation presents a significant factual circumstance beyond the usual Johnson factors or involves a Johnson factor that is not generally "subsumed" in the usual fee calculation, Blum, 465 U.S. at 900, further enhancement may be appropriate. In the instant case, the plaintiffs sought and received a fee increase under both theories.
In allowing an 8% increase for plaintiffs' delay in receiving their fee, the district court dealt with a then unresolved point of law. The impact of delay was not considered in Johnson, and had not been authoritatively decided in this Circuit at the time the district court acted. Subsequently, however, this Court held that delay in payment "dilutes the eventual award and may convert an otherwise reasonable fee into an unreasonably low one." Daly, 790 F.2d at 1081, quoting Johnson v. University College of the University of Alabama, 706 F.2d 1205, 1210 (11th Cir.), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 994 (1983). To guard against such an unfortunate result, we required that the district court take into account inflation and foregone interest in a delayed fee by either increasing all hourly rates to reflect current market rates or by applying a percentage enhancement to the lodestar. The particular method of accounting for delay was left, however, to the discretion of the district court. Daly, 790 F.2d at 1081.
After Daly, there can be no question but that the district court's decision to increase the employees' fee award for delay was proper. Indeed, Daly virtually compels an enhancement in this instance.3 The employees argue, however, that Daly also requires an enhancement that fully and precisely accounts for inflation and lost interest. The employees contend, therefore, that the district court abused its discretion by rejecting the detailed calculations provided in their fee request4 and by granting only a minimal enhancement of 8%.
Although we agree with the employees that an enhancement of 8% of the lodestar or $16,053.06 did not sufficiently account for the lengthy delay in this case and must, therefore, be modified, we reject their suggestion that the district court was required to accept their method of fee calculation. Nothing in Daly requires that a delay adjustment account for inflation or interest with mathematical certainty. The purpose of the adjustment is to achieve a reasonable fee and reasonableness is a flexible concept. Even uncontested submissions by a prevailing party may be disregarded if the district court concludes that another method of enhancement will produce a fee that satisfies the objectives stated in Blum.
The district court elected to compensate plaintiffs by means of a flat percentage increase. We see no error in that method which we specifically endorsed in Daly. Unfortunately, the percentage, chosen without benefit of our reasoning in Daly, was clearly too low to provide an adequate enhancement for thirteen years of delay which extended through a period of high inflation.5 We perceive no need, however, to further prolong this case by remanding to the district court for a full redetermination. The record before us is fully developed, which now permits us to determine without additional proceedings a percentage enhancement that will bring the fee awarded to plaintiffs within the relatively broad range of reasonableness. Accordingly, we conclude that a 60% enhancement of the lodestar, thereby adding $108,397.98 to plaintiffs attorneys' fee will provide an adequate compensation for delay.
Finally, we turn to the district court's $20,000 enhancement designated as an opportunity cost adjustment. Stevens argues that the increase was principally a compensation for the contingent nature of the litigation. Stevens contends that such an enhancement is proper only in exceptional cases and that the district court made no finding that this case fell within that category. In Stevens' view, the enhancement must either be reversed or the case remanded to allow the district court to assess the exceptional nature of this matter. We find merit in this position.
The district court's order appears to combine contingency with "opportunity costs or preclusion from other employment" in determining the appropriateness of a $20,000 fee increase. A close examination of the court's language, however, leaves little doubt that the enhancement was based almost exclusively upon counsel's risk of nonpayment if plaintiffs did not prevail. Although enhancements for contingency presented a somewhat unsettled issue at the time the district court's order was entered,6 the subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court in Delaware Valley, and this Court in Spell, have determined that an increase for contingency may be permitted in certain circumstances. Unfortunately for the plaintiffs in this case, we do not find the present litigation to be within the bounds of those circumstances.
As we have interpreted Delaware Valley, enhancements for contingency are appropriate only when the prevailing party can establish that, absent an adjustment, they "would have faced substantial difficulties in finding counsel in the local or other relevant market." Spell, 824 F.2d at 1404, quoting Delaware Valley, 107 S.Ct. at 3089-92. Furthermore, no enhancements are permitted for risks "peculiar" to the specific case since they are considered in setting the lodestar. Id.
We find nothing in the record before us to suggest that the plaintiffs would have experienced "substantial difficulties" in obtaining counsel unless contingency received extra compensation. The employees have suggested that statistics demonstrating a decline in the number of employment discrimination cases filed since 1976 indicates an unwillingness by counsel to accept these types of cases. The statistics, however, are fully amenable to other interpretations, including the possibility that instances of employment discrimination may be diminishing. In any event, the employees, who apparently had no difficulty obtaining counsel, could not by this material, carry their burden of justifying a departure from the presumptively correct fee. The enhancement for contingencies cannot, therefore, be sustained.
In sum, we conclude that the grant of attorneys' fees must be modified in the following fashion. The district court's enhancement for delay is affirmed in principle and increased from $16,053.06 to $108,397.98. The $20,000 enhancement for contingency is reversed, thereby producing a total adjustment to the lodestar of $88,397.98. The case is hereby remanded to the district court for the limited purpose of the entry of an order consistent with this opinion.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; AND REMANDED.
The employees' principal Washington counsel is Richard T. Seymour. It appears that Seymour worked for the Washington Research Project, Inc. until 1973. From 1973 until 1977, he was a sole practitioner. From 1977 until the present, he has been employed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which assumed responsibility for this case
The Johnson factors are:
(1) The time and labor required.
(2) The novelty and difficulty of the questions.
(3) The skill requisite to perform the legal services properly.
(4) The preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case.
(5) The customary fee.
(6) Whether the fee is fixed or contingent.
(7) Time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances.
(8) The amount involved and results obtained.
(9) The experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys.
(10) The undesirability of the case.
(11) The nature and length of the professional relationship with the client.
(12) Awards in similar cases.
Stevens' strained argument on appeal that fees are costs to which interest may not be applied, is, as the cross-appellant concedes, in clear conflict with Daly. We, therefore, reject this frivolous contention without further comment
The employees' submission to the district court purported to calculate the present value of counsel's past efforts and produced a proposed enhancement of approximately $160,000
By way of contrast, in Cooper v. Dyke, 814 F.2d 941 (4th Cir.1987), we approved a 10% enhancement even though the litigation therein had taken only two years

Always interesting to skim through.
ChevyRay, the author of FlashPunk, got No.1. That's pretty cool. It's nice to see an author of an engine actually using it.
For me, the clear winner is McPixel That game simply kicks ass. Other than that, I missed this event, but I'm looking forward to the next one.
The best (maybe only) way to make a useful engine, is to have games drive its development. Anyone who makes an engine in isolation - with the intention of later, when it is done, using it to make a game - is doing it wrong
And in addition, ChevyRay usually makes quite good games!
Yeah, I agree. I've seen people that couldn't write a decent game, write engines, but they wrote demo's and got a lot of input from other people using it to write games.

Former striker Peschisolido goes for a Burton
Football League newcomers Burton Albion have appointed former Derby County and Birmingham City striker Paul Peschisolido as their new permanent manager.
The Canadian - married to Blues managing director Karren Brady - replaces temporary boss Roy McFarland at the Pirelli Stadium after he decided not to carry on following the club`s promotion into the Football League for the first time.
Peschisolido, 37, has been assistant manager at St Patrick`s Athletic in the League of Ireland Premier division since January and will be assisted himself by Gary Rowett, who ended his career with the Brewers.
Chairman Ben Robinson told the club's official website: "I felt initially that we were looking for a manager with Football League experience but we have been very impressed with Paul and Gary, their ambitions and plans and the way they see the job evolving at Burton Albion.
"They both hold coaching badges and have a number of strong contacts in football, with different clubs, which should mean that they will be looking to use the loan system to our advantage."
McFarland was appointed in January after Nigel Clough ended his 10-year reign with the club to join Derby, and Robinson hopes Peschisolido can have as bright a future as the previous full-time boss.
He added: "We are all very excited at the prospect of two young managers who are very keen and ambitious to start off on the managerial ladder at Burton Albion in a similar way to Nigel Clough."

text: I just started using K9 with Gmail. In my settings area I have: Sync server deletions (checked) When I delete a msg, delete from server When I delete a msg on my phone it stays in my gmail account. When I delete a msg in my gmail account on my computer, I have to re-delete it from my phone. When I read a new msg on either my phone or computer, the other device shows the msg as unread. This is annoying. Any fix?

High school senior Dyer Pettijohn might have finally landed the date of his dreams.
Pettijohn used a very public display of YouTube affection to ask U.S. figure skater Gracie Gold to his prom during the 2014 Winter Olympics. Gold responded by tweeting that Pettijohn's proposal "melted her heart," but she didn't have an answer until Wednesday — when he surprised her by appearing in person during her interview on "Extra."
The 17-year-old high school senior presented Gold with a large bouquet of flowers and asked her one more time, "Gracie, would you go to prom with me?"
Gold's response?
"It if works out, I would love to," she said.
Pettijohn was pretty convincing in his original proposal, providing incentive such as, "It would be the perfect end to my high school career and make my living dreams come true."
Who could say no to that?
If Gold sticks to her answer, it seems the blonde duo has an evening of corsages, pictures and dancing in their future.
Watch Dyer and Gracie's face-to-face meeting on "Extra" below.
